Back with Poppy she was looking at the pictures of her friends. She decided since she wasn't going to see them again that would throw it away. And that's what she did

She got from her bed and went to the trash and threw it right in. She sat on her bed and hugged her legs feeling tears coming from her eyes just then she heard a familiar voice singing

"You with the sad eyes. Don't be discouraged. Oh, I realize. It's hard to take courage." The voice sang

"In a world full of people. You can lose sight of it all. The darkness inside you, can make you feel so small." The voice sang again

Poppy's head jolted up as she looked around the room for the voice. She looked everywhere but nothing. She looked out her windows but nobody was there

"Show me a smile then. Don't be unhappy. Can't remember when,I last saw you laughing. This world makes you crazy, and you've taken all you can bear.Just call me up. 'Cause I will always be there." The voice sang

"And I see your true colors shining through.I see your true colors. And that's why I love you..." The voice sang

Poppy immediately regretted what she did and got off her bed

"What am I doing?" She asked herself

She grabbed the case and the picture out of the trash. She opened the case and saw the earrings and necklace that Branch gave her

Poppy smiled as she looked at them

"Oh they really are beautiful." She said to herself

She put them on and looked at the pictures. She walked out of her room to look for Domino

———————————————————

Poppy looked around the place. She saw him with Leo and Kion

"Domino I need-"

"I can't believe you actually tossed them in the ocean like that." Kion said

"Yeah! It was hilarious man!" Leo said

"Yeah, it was. Poppy will definitely stay here now!" Domino said with a smile

"Except, well what are we gonna do with Trollex?" Kion asked

"Yeah. Branch is also still out there." Leo said

"Relax guys. It's not like she'll find out." Domino said

Poppy took a step back as she heard more

"And besides they're out of the way. Now with Trollex we'll just kill him. I mean at this point Archer and Barb are either drowning or are already dead." Domino said

"Yeah!" Leo and Kion said with a smile

"We'll kill that king later today. I have to go see Poppy." Domino said

He turned around and saw Poppy standing in the middle of the room

"You....killed my friends?" Poppy asked. Her voice shivered as she spoke

She felt like she was going to cry

"Poppy! No! No! I-I would never." Domino said

"Don't lie!! I HEARD EVERYTHING!!!" Poppy shouted

Domino flinched back

"BRANCH WAS RIGHT!! YOU MOUSE LIONS ARE MANIPULATIVE!!" Poppy shouted

"Poppy wait! It's not what it looked like!" Domino said

"NO WAY!!"

"But we're friends." He said

"I'm not friends with someone who would kill my friends." Poppy said

She ran off. Domino was heartbroken

————————————————————

Branch was sitting at a pond and saw Poppy run passed him

"Poppy?"

He ran after her

"Poppy!"

Poppy turned around and saw Branch. She immediately smiled

"Branch!"

She ran back to him. She jumped at Branch and gave a hug. They hugged on the ground for almost five minutes till Poppy remembered the others

"Branch. You go back to Domino's and save Trollex. I'll go save Barb and Archer." She said

Branch tried to process as he then got the message. He nodded and immediately ran off

Poppy ran the other way to Archer and Barb

————————————————————

Archer and Barb were both struggling to keep their heads above water. They got the tar off but it was still hard to float

"I SHOULD'VE DONE SOMETHING!!" Barb shouted

"It wasn't your fault." Archer said

"YES IT IS!! This entire thing has been my fault. I could've at least helped Poppy before she was taken! But I didn't. I just stayed where I was." Barb said

Archer looked at her

"It'll be ok. We'll get out of this." Archer said with a reassuring smile

Barb looked and smiled at him

"Well I guess it would be nice. Except this is pretty deep." Barb said

"Good point." Archer said

They floated there and immediately started yelling

"HELP!! SOMEONE HELP!!" They yelled

"DON'T FRET!! POPPY IS HERE!!" Poppy shouted

Poppy shot her hair in the water for them to climb

They looked at her and smiled

"Poppy!" They both said with a smile

"This is the part where- oh forget it." Poppy said

Poppy grabbed them with her hair and pulled them back up to land, on the hill they were on

"Yikes. You're both wet." Poppy said

They immediately hugged her with a smile on their faces

"It's so good to see you Pop-Squeak." Barb said

"It's good to see you too Barb." Poppy said

"What about me?" Archer asked

"It's good to see you as well Archer." Poppy said

Archer smiled

"Where's Trollex?" Barb asked

"Domino has him. He's gonna kill him!" Poppy said

"WHAT?!" They both asked

"WELL WE HAVE TO GO SAVE HIM!!" Barb said

"I agree. Come on let's go." Poppy said

They ran off

"Nice earring dude." Barb said as they ran

"Well thank you Barbara." Poppy said with a smile

They ran back to Cocoabura, determined to save their friend
