As Poppy was telling them her plan, it slowly started to rain. Poppy's voice grew louder, so she could be heard over the rain. But none of them knew that the squirrel from earlier had been there the whole time. In fact, the squirrel was listening to the plan. 

"... And that's the plan!" Poppy finished. 

"So long story short, you want to go in the village without us? Because nobody will recognize you?" Zoie tried to sum things up. 

"That's a GREAT PLAN!" Lizzie cheered. 

"uh Poppy - we have never even been to the village. How will we know where to go?" Branch asked. 

"oh trust me! It's not that hard to find your way around that village!" Stripe said. 

"See?! A fool proof plan!" Poppy proudly smiled. 

"It's not 'Poppy Proof' though" Barb mumbled. 

"Okay guys let's not waste ANY time!" Poppy turned around and went to run out of the cave.

That's when she was stopped by the rain, which was pouring down at this point. 

"Poppy! We can't leave! It's raining, DUHHH 💅" The Chips said. 

Poppy slowly turned around"Oh. I couldn't tell. "

" Plus you JUST finished teling your plan. We haven't really been able to comment on it" Zoie said

"true... Wait does that mean we have to stay here?" Lizzie asked. 

That's when a loud boom was heard, from lightning . They all had their attention drawn to the rain.  This gave the squirrel enough time to hurry away into the rain. But instead Of going into the forest, they went in the direction of the village. 

"I don't think we should leave. It's dangerous. Why don't we just stay and try to rest a bit. You guys will need plenty of energy." Zoie suggested. 

Poppy yawned, "I sure am sleepy!" 

"And I'm hungry!" Barb layed down. 

"wow I had no clue" Branch rolled his eyes. 

"Thats why i said it. I knew you guys would forget!" Barb said

They glared at her. 

~At The Village~

The Squirrel finnaly made it to the village. All of the dogs were in their homes, sleeping. Except for one of them, who was expecting the squirrel to show  up. 

"Queen Aster! I have good news! " The squirrel rain up to Queen Aster who was standing in the rain in front of her home. But, using  her crown, she was able to prevent the rain from hitting her. 

"Come inside. I prefer to not be in the rain." Queen Aster gestured to the opened door. 

The squirrel ran inside and shook off the water, leaving a puddle on the perfectly clean floor. 

"I still dont know why you choose to live in a house like everone else." The squirrel said. 

"So they dont suspect anything! And maybe dont leave a mess on MY floor! Now, tell me everything!" Queen aster told him. 

"Well if you insist! So about a year ago, I was born! -" The, squirrel began to tell her. 

"NO! NOT THAT-" Queen Aster sighed, "When i sent you to go see what those 3 were up to! What happened?!" 

"Ohhhh! So, I guess they met 5 others. Apparently from a different world? And Zoie, Lizie, and Stripe told them EVERYTHING! So now they want to come take your crown."  The squirrel explained. 

"WAIT WHAT? They wanna take MY crown?! For what?" Queen Aster looked mad. 

"So they can get home. And maybe to fix the mess of a village you made 👀" He responded. 

"My village is perfectly fine!" Queen Aster turned around to hide her face. 

"Uhuh. Casting a spell on others and not to youself." The squirrel raised an eyebrow. 

Queen Aster didnt say anything. 

"Oh and lets not forget when you BANNED 3 dogs because they tried to solve this mess! They were trying to help." the squirrel continued. 

"IVE HAD IT!"  She finnaly turned around. 

This startled the squirrel. 

"ARE YOU TRYING TO HELP OR NOT?! YOU CAN LEAVE IF YOU DONT LIKE MY WAY OF DOING THINGS." She yelled at him. 

The squirrel looked at her. 

"You know what? I was your ONLY friend. Too bad you just ruined it." he  was about to run out of the door when Queen Aster's voice interuppted him. 

"FINE!Who needs friends anyway?! " She said. 

He turned around,"Trust me. Friendship is one of the most precious things. Nothing can replace it. "

"Pfft! Sure. Now GET OUT!" She shouted. 

He rolled his eyes then ran back into the rain. 

Suddenly, Queen Aster felt alone. She stood there staring at the door replaying what just happened in her head. 

"Friendship is Precious?!" she laughed it off. 

But deep down she knew that she messed up.
