*a few hours later*

*In the waiting room*

*poppy was still crying about branch while the mane 6 were trying to comfort her*

Rainbow Dash: Come on poppy don't cry, branch is gonna make it, he's faced worse before and I have a strong feeling that he'll make it

Poppy: But what if he won't this time?

Rarity: Darling your friend is one of the most fearless and bravest trolls there ever was in Equestria and he would never let you get hurt on his watch

Poppy: *sniffles* Really you mean it?

Rarity: of course I mean it, and I'm sure after all this is over he'll be okay

Poppy: *Sniffles* okay

*then the doctor came in*

Poppy: Doctor! where's branch? is he alright?

Doctor: he's alright, His blood transfer was a success, he's just resting in our recovery center

Poppy: Oh *sighs of relief* oh thank troll so can we see him?

Doctor: Of course right this way ladies

*the mane 6, queen barb and poppy followed the doctor to the recovery center*

*In the recovery center*

Doctor: Okay now he's right in here, but I must warn you what you're about to see might not look pretty

Rarity: Uhm okay?

*the doctor opened the door to reveal branch bandaged up and hooked up to machines and tubes*

*Poppy gasps at the sight of this and walks over very slowly and places her hand on his arm*

Poppy (whispering while her voice is breaking): Oh branch...I'm so sorry I never listened I was being a HORRIBLE friend and a bad queen, all I wanted was to be a good queen and now...*Inhales sharply before going onto her knees sobbing her heart out*

Poppy (Voice breaking): if only I just listened...you wouldn't be dying

*Poppy said tearfully as her voice was breaking as well as her heart, tears streaming down her face and staining her glitter-freckled cheeks*

Branch (raspy): P-poppy?

Poppy (voice breaking): *gasps* Branch?

Branch (raspy): what happened?

Fluttershy: You lost a lot of blood and you got a blood transfer

Rainbow Dash: We also managed to reform Barb

*rainbow said before clearing a path for barb*

Barb: Hey dude...I'm really sorry I tried to kill you, I learned my lesson and have accepted friendship and harmony now

Branch (raspy): it- it's okay barb 

Poppy: And branch I am so sorry I never listened I was being the worst queen ever and I deserve to become a rock zombie *sobs*

Branch (raspy): hey...don't say that you're an amazing queen and deep down you're a very beautiful girl

Branch (raspy): and I'm sorry I said we were too different to get along

Poppy: *sniffles and wipes away tears* i-it's okay branch

*then poppy felt branch's hand lift up slowly and placed down on her hand*

Branch (raspy): and there's something I wanted to tell you

Poppy: What is it?

Branch (raspy): I love you poppy

Poppy: oh branch I love you too, with all my heart *sniffles and smiles*

Nurse: alright visiting time's over I would like the visitors to leave the room

Twilight Sparkle: Okay

*the mane 6 and barb leave the room*

Branch (raspy): and don't worry poppy I'll be fine...

Poppy: Okay

*poppy smiled bravely as branch let go of her hand while she walked out of the recovery center*

*A few days later branch recovered and all the trolls lived in harmony*
