The Rescue party camped out again, but this time Poppy was awake, looking at the stars.

"Stars, shining bright above you," she sang.

"Poppy?" Bridget yawned, waking up.

"Oh, sorry Bridget. I didn't mean to wake you," Poppy apologized.

"It's fine," Bridget said, sat up, and asked, "You sing to help you relax?"

"Yeah. I've never finished that song though," Poppy answered, making Bridget quietly giggle.

They looked at the stars for a minute until Bridget spoke up.

"I know you're still worrying about Jamie," she said.

"Yeah. I am," Poppy answered.

"But she's strong like you. So is Branch. They can face anything together," Bridget told her.

"I know. It's just that...sometimes when I look at her, I only see her as a little sister. She may only be a couple days younger than me, but it feels like years. I just wish I could see her as a grown up," Poppy explained.

Bridget nodded then said, "I wish I could tell you that I know how you feel, but all I can tell you is this: your sister and Branch are two of the bravest Trolls I have ever met and if anyone can get out of this mess, it's them."

Poppy smiled and hugged Bridget as she responded, "Thanks, Bridget. I hope you know that Jamie and I see you as another sister."

"I do since I see you guys that way too," Bridget told her.

They parted and went to sleep, hopeful they would find the others.
