(Poppy, Biggie, and Holly are playing Double Dutch. Holly is jumping over the ropes.)
Poppy and Biggie: Rell-a. By mistake she hugged a snake and that was nice, too! Now let’s count hugs! 1, 2-
Holly: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Double Dutch is too easy, y’all. Get two more ropes. (Poppy and Biggie gasp.)
Poppy and Biggie: Quadruple Dutch?!
Holly: I got four legs, don’t I? Gimmie four dutches! Woo-hoo! (She, Poppy, and Biggie hear a splat. We see that some marshmallow has fallen to the ground.) 
All: Huh? (Holly goes to investigate. She picks up a sample.) 
Holly: It’s marshmallow. I’d swear it on my daddy’s grave- (Poppy and Biggie gasp again.) -y. 
Poppy and Biggie: Wha…
Holly: My daddy makes real good gravy.
Poppy and Biggie: Oh. (More marshmallows fall from the sky.)
All: Huh? (They look up in the sky and see Vibe Town covered in marshmallow.)
Poppy: Uh-oh. It looks like it’s coming out of R and B’s lab. We should go check on them. (She, Biggie, and Holly start yelling.)
Holly: Bring us up!
Poppy: Hey! 
Biggie: Hey, down here! Look this way! Look at me! Bring us up! (Vibe Town shoots a beam and puts Poppy, Holly, and Biggie in a bubble. They laugh as the bubble carries them up into the spaceship. In Rhythm and Blues’ lab, they come out of a wormhole. We can see that the lab is covered in marshmallows.)
Poppy: R, B, are you OK? (She, Holly, and Biggie see Rhythm and Blues stuck on a laser gun and covered in marshmallows.)
Rhythm and Blues: Yes to the yes!
Blues: Why do you ask? 
Poppy: Uh, ‘cause of the explosions, ‘cause of all of this mess.
Rhythm: Oh, right. Now that you mention it… (She and Blues get off the laser gun.)
Both: No to the no.
Holly: Y’all? What in the T-R-O-double hockey sticks happened in here, y’all?!
Rhythm: We attempted to maximize the volume of an extra-cellular confection. Or in lay-Troll terms… 
Both: (singsong) Make a real big marshmallow!
Blues: We just made a slight miscalculation with the formula! But we will figure it out, dear sister. 
Rhythm: Mm-hm. Our setbacks are behind us, sibling supreme. (She and Blues high-five and do hand movements.) Activate Clean-Up Bot! (A remote appears and she presses a button.)
Lownote’s Voice: Mess-Up Bot activated.
Rhythm and Blues: Oh, no! That’s the wrong button! (The Mess-Up Bot appears and makes messes.)
Mess-Up Bot: Mess-Up Bot! Mess-Up Bot! Mess-Up Bot! Mess-Up Bot! (It crashes into something and the mess flies out of the Vibe Town Spaceship.) Mess-Up Bot!
Rhythm: Apollo-to-the-gees, Trolls. Won’t happen again.
Blues: R? Maybe we should just tell ‘em.
Rhythm: Honestly, something’s been bothering us. And causing us to make a lot of mistakes.
Blues: Yeah. We miss our old friends and family back where we’re from in Vibe City. We’re…
Both: Homesick.
Poppy, Biggie, and Holly: Aw.
Blues: Now, don’t misunderstand! We love it here in TrollsTopia! We choose to be here.
Rhythm: Mm-hm. But it’s just crazy how you can love where you are and miss where you’re all from all at the same time.
Biggie: (sobs) Wow. That’s… that’s just relatable stuff.
Holly: Uh, you poor things. You know, we Country Trolls have a way of dealin’ with homesickness. We sing a sad song and cry and cry until we fill an entire barrel with our tears! Woo-hoo! (She brings in a barrel and takes out her guitar.)
Rhythm: Mm, we appreciate you, Holly, but what we really need is a way to keep our minds off our homesickness altogether.
Poppy: Keep your minds off of it? I think we can help with that! (She and her friends go to The Big Squeeze. She then speaks through a megaphone.) WITH FUN DISTRACTIONS! HEY-O! (Rhythm and Blues whimper a little as their seat rises. It soon drops them toward the ground and they go back up.)
Rhythm and Blues: All right! (The seat goes back down to the ground and they get off.)
Blues: Ha-ha! That was amaze-ba-bonkers! 
Rhythm: We didn’t feel our homesickness the whole time!
Poppy, Biggie, and Holly: Yes! (They high-five each other.)
Rhythm and Blues: (High-fiving) All right! 
Blues: Uh-oh! Wait.
Rhythm: Homesickness coming back.
Poppy, Biggie, and Holly: No, no, no!
Poppy: More fun distraction ideas, guys! Quick! (Holly and Biggie whimper in stress.)
Holly: Adorabull ridin’! 
Biggie: Yay!
Poppy: Yeah! (At Country Corral, Holly, Rhythm and Blues ride an Adorabull. They cheer as it gallops and kicks.) Fireworks! (That night, fireworks explode in the air.)
Rhythm and Blues: Ooh! Ah!
Holly: Flyer Bug racin’! (The next day, Poppy, Holly, Biggie, Rhythm, and Blues race on Flyer Bugs.)
Rhythm and Blues: Whoa! (Poppy and Holly cheer while Biggie screams as he holds onto the legs of his Flyer Bug.)
Poppy: Cloud Gazing! (That night, she, Biggie, Rhythm, and Blues gaze at Cloud Guy on the stage.)
Cloud Guy: Gaze at this! (Poppy, Rhythm, Blues, and Biggie cheer as he does various poses.)
Blues: Serve it to the Trolls, honey! 
Biggie: Whirlpool surfing! (The next day, he, Poppy, Holly, Rhythm and Blues laugh as they surf on a whirlpool. Biggie soon falls into the water.)
Holly: Pinwheels! (Rhythm takes a deep breath and blows on her pinwheel. Poppy, Holly, and Biggie are seen holding many pinwheels in their hands and hair. One of Poppy’s pinwheels breaks and they sigh.) Y’all, I think we’re runnin’ outta idea, y’all.
Rhythm: Oh! Oh. The homesickness is comin’ in stronger than ever. (Poppy, Biggie, and Holly gasp.)
Poppy: (Throwing her pinwheels away) Guys, come on! Better ideas!
Holly: (Throwing her pinwheels away) I’m plum dry! It’s too much pressure!
Biggie: (gasps) I’ve got it! We can do… this. (He shows a trick that looks like part of his finger was cut off.) Ooh. Ah? Ah? Oh? Oh! How did he… How’s it… Ooh! (The trick doesn’t help Rhythm and Blues feel better.)
Poppy: OK, back to the drawing board! (They head back to Vibe Town and are riding the escalator.) All right, you guys miss home. But what if we could bring a little slice of home right here to TrollsTopia? (They enter a wormhole and into a lab. Poppy then presses a button on a remote.)
Lownote’s Voice: Dicoball-o-Gram activated. (The Discoball-o-Gram shoots a beam and it shows three Funk Trolls named Big Jay, Little Jay, and Medium Jay.)
Big Jay: Hey, hey, R and B!
Little Jay: We miss you! (Rhythm and Blues gasp.)
Rhythm: What in the what what?! Our friends! Big Jay?! Little Jay?! Medium Jay?! (She and Blues shed happy tears.) Poppy, I can’t find the words.
Blues: Fantasa-fleeka-boom-boom?
Rhythm: Yeah, that’s it. (She and Blues fist bump.) Thank you, friends!
Blues: Yeah. Thank to the you.
Poppy: Aw.
Rhythm: Now, if you’ll pardon us… (She and Blues turn to Big Jay, Little Jay, and Medium Jay.)
Blues: We can’t believe you’re here! (She and Rhythm try to hug their friends, but they go through the beam instead.) But you’re not really here.
Rhythm: Yeah. You’re still really far away. (The beam showing their friends disappear.)
Both: Aw.
Poppy: Oh, guys, I’m so sorry. But don’t worry! We’ve got other homesick solutions like, like, um… (Biggie tries to show his trick again, but Holly stops him.)
Holly: Oh, that’s enough, sugar.
Blues: Sorry, everyone. But seeing our friends, it’s almost like I miss home even more. (She accidentally presses a button on a machine.)
Lownote’s Voice: Bubble Beam activated.
Poppy, Holly, and Biggie: Huh? (The spaceship starts shooting bubbles. One of them traps Peppy inside, leaving his cupcake behind.)
Peppy: Aah! Nobody eat my cupcake! AAAAAAHHHH!!! (He floats higher into the sky.)
Biggie: Oh, no!
Blues: Sorry! I was thinking about home and lost focus! 
Rhythm: It’s OK, sis! I’m putting it in standby! (She pulls a switch on the machine.)
Lownote’s Voice: Rapid Bubble Mode activated. (Poppy, Biggie, Holly, Rhythm, and Blues scream in horror. Vibe Town shoots more bubbles. One traps a red male Techno Troll who is taking a shower.)
Techno Troll #1: What? (Another bubble traps Cooper who is blowing bubbles.)
Cooper: (laughs) OK. Clearly I’m doing this wrong. (He laughs again. Some Pop Trolls run away as more bubbles shoot around TrollsTopia. One even traps Branch’s bunker.)
Branch: Ugh! (Another bubble traps his cup of coffee.) Ugh!
Poppy, Biggie, and Holly: Turn it off! Turn it off!
Rhythm and Blues: (Frantically pressing buttons) We’re trying! We’re trying!
Lownote’s Voice: Wormhole opened to Lightning Dimension. (Rhythm and Blues scream in shock as a gun makes a wormhole to the Lightning Dimension.)
Rhythm: Here we go again! (The Trolls trapped in the bubbles scream because they are about to be sucked into the wormhole.)
Holly: OK, y’all have some very strange buttons. Perhaps some lables?
Rhythm: This is terri-ba-bad, B! We’ve gotta focus!
Blues: But I can’t block out my homesickness! And we’ve tried everything! (Rhythm looks at Holly and she takes out her guitar.)
Rhythm: Not everything. What if we don’t try to block it out? What if instead, we just…
Blues: Allow ourselves to feel it. (She and Rhythm sing Homesick.)
(Rhythm)
I’m missin’ home something fierce
(Blues)
You’re not alone 
And though it’s nice here
(Both)
I’m feelin’ a hole in my heart 
Where our family goes
And I’m fallin’ apart 
Wonder if they’re out here 
Feelin’ it, too, yeah
Or is it just me and you
(Rhythm)
Feelin’ homesick, ooh
(Blues)
Feelin’ homesick
(Rhythm)
Yeah, we’re homesick, ooh
(Blues)
Yeah, we’re homesick
(Both)
And we know it won’t end
We’re missin’ our friends 
We’re missin’ our beds
And the house that they’re in
‘Cause we’re homesick
Homesick, ooh
Homesick (They sigh in relief.)
Rhythm: Wow. That felt really.
Blues: Yeah. But feeling really sad felt… really good!
Poppy: Aw. Guys, can I just say two things? First, that was one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. And second, there is still a massive wormhole that’s about to eat our friends. (An alarm sounds out and Biggie and Holly scream.)
Rhythm: It’s OK. Now that we’ve fully embraced our homesickness…
Blues: We’re ready to do it to it. (She and Rhythm high-five and do hand movements and press various buttons.)
Rhythm: Bubbles are closing in on the wormhole at a force-vector of 3.2!
Blues: Setting Sonic Pop-Wave to 14 funk-a-hertz.
Rhythm: Your spirit gives me strength! 
Blues: Your determination makes me believe in a better tomorrow! (She and Rhythm high-five and press a button together.)
Lownote’s Voice: Sonic Pop-Wave engaged. (The Sonic Pop-Wave makes the bubbles pop, but the Trolls remain stuck in midair.)
All: Huh? (They suddenly fall toward the ground and scream.) 
Lownote's Voice: Bean bags deployed. (A gun shoots bean bags and the Trolls land softly on them and go to sleep. Even Branch’s cup and coffee lands in his hand.)
Branch: Huh? (He gasps and his bunker lands.) Oh. (Back on the spaceship, Rhythm and Blues fist bump while Poppy, Holly, and Biggie put their hands in the air and cheer for them.)
Biggie: Yaaaaaay!
Poppy: Whoooooo!
Holly: Yeah! Woo-hoo!
Biggie: Yeah! Whoooooo!
Poppy: Yeah! (Soon, the friends are back in Rhythm and Blues’ lab.) So, you two still feeling homesick?
Rhythm and Blues: Eh.
Rhythm: We always will. But at least now we know it’s OK to feel it.
Blues: Plus, how lucky we are to have two incredible communities to call home?
Rhythm: So lucky! In fact, this calls for a celebration!
Biggie: (clears his throat) And I have just the thing to celebrate. (He does his trick once more.) Ooh. Ah? Ah? Oh? Oh! How did he… How’s it… Ooh!
Rhythm: I gotta admit, that is pretty great.
