Poppy was casually having dinner with her mum one evening when she suddenly suffered a seizure. She carried her mum to her two-seater car, and got in the driver's seat and started to drive to the hospital. Halfway there, it starts to rain. They stop at a red light, and she suddenly sees her best friend, who owes her a favour, standing all alone in the rain. She rolls down the window, while the light is still red, and asks, "Hey, are you okay, May?"

"NO! My parents kicked me out of their house and my boyfriend broke up with me! I have nowhere to go!" she complained. 

"I'm so sorry!" 

 "Are you going to go and pick up Tomas?" May asked, changing the subject. 

Tomas was Poppy's boyfriend. 

"He's actually coming by bus." she answered. 

"You mean, that bus?" May said, pointing at the oncoming bus, "And, while you're at it, could you take me to your house?  I'm stuck in the rain! I need help! I'm soaking wet!"  

What should Poppy do? Her friend is wet and alone, her mother needs to get to the hospital, and her soulmate is arriving by bus. Who should she take within her two-seater car?
