(A Caterbus rides through some bushes. Poppy, Smidge, DJ Suki and Cooper are singing while Branch is driving.)
(Poppy, Smidge, DJ Suki, and Cooper)
99 friends
In the pod that need hugs
99 friends that need hugs
Take whichever you please
And give them a squeeze
98 friends
In the pod that need hugs (Branch honks the horn.)
Branch: And we gave all 98 of them one group hug. Song over! Now, please, stop distracting the driver! (Poppy and her friends groan.)
Poppy: Branch, I know being in unfamiliar territory is putting you on edge, but singing songs is part of a road trip, like playing I spy.
Cooper: (Holding out a hand covered in red paint and a piece of paper) And finger painting!
Smidge: Finger painting’s not a- (Cooper laughs while painting with his hand.) Never mind.
Branch: No, there are only two objectives to any road trip. One: arrive at destination safely. And two: return home safely. No detours.
Poppy: (grunts) I wish, just once, you’d stop worrying about danger. Detours are half the fun.
Branch: Sorry. I mapped out a precise rout, avoiding impaired roads, predators, and wormholes. So all we’re gonna do is stay the course I marked here in red. (He ends up with red paint on his finger.) Huh? Was someone playing with my map?! (Cooper is seen painting Smidge and DJ Suki’s faces.)
Cooper: Define “playing.”
Poppy and Branch: Uh-oh. (They scream as the Caterbus goes over a cliff and a wormhole appears.)
Poppy: Look! It’s a wormhole!
Branch: Brace yourselves for impact! (The Caterbus fails to go through the wormhole and the Trolls fall from it screaming. They soon land in an ocean. Cooper pops out of the water and continue screaming. He then sees his friends silent.)
Cooper: Oh. We’re done screaming now? (He and his friends see some sharks.) Sharks! (The Trolls scream and swim away except for Cooper.) Oh, OK, we’re screaming again? (He screams and catches up with the others. They soon reach a tropical island.)
All: Huh? (Some birds fly above the island.)
Poppy: So beautiful. (She hears Branch trying to chop wood from a log.)
DJ Suki: Uh… Branch, what are you doing? (We see that Branch is trying to build a boat.)
Branch: (sighs) I’m making a boat to sail as back to the wormhole… (We show that the wormhole is too high for the Trolls to reach.) … and get us home.
Smidge: We’ve only been here two minutes and you’ve already built a boat?
Branch: Half-built. (He jumps off the half-built boat.) But I’d be done by now if I didn’t have to answer so many questions. (He starts to hammer the boat, but Poppy takes the hammer away.)
Poppy: Branch, hold on. We can go home whenever we want.
Meanwhile, this is just the kind of detour I was talking about! Let’s explore!
Branch: (Taking out the hammer) No way. We’re too exposed here. (Poppy takes the hammer away again.)
Poppy: Come on! It’s a tropical paradise. (Branch takes out some tools and she takes them away.)
Branch: (grunts) There’s no such thing as a paradise, Poppy. There’s danger everywhere. (He goes back to building the boat.)
Poppy: OK, then. If you’re sure it’s so dangerous, prove it.
Branch: I’m sorry?
Poppy: (chanting) Prove it. Prove it.
Branch: Poppy, you’re not gonna keep me from building by chant-
Poppy, Smidge, DJ Suki, and Cooper: Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! Prove it!
Branch: Fine! I’ll prove it! Come on, Poppy. I’ll show you how dangerous a mysterious island can be. (Poppy starts following him.) You guys stay here where it’s safe. (Smidge, DJ Suki, and Cooper already have beach equipment. Cooper is seen buried in the sand in the shape of a turtle.)
Smidge: Yeah, we had no intention of following you. Bye-bye! (She sips on a drink.)
Branch: Danger. It’s gotta be here. Whoa! Ha! You’ll see, Poppy, that it’s only a matter of time until we come face-to-face with- (He moves some vines a snake hisses at him, making him scream. It then kisses him.) What? (The snake starts cuddling him.)
Poppy: (giggles) Careful, Branch. I think it’s gonna cuddle you to death. (Branch pushes the snake away.)
Branch: Ever hear of personal space? (Later, he and Poppy come across a pile of leaves.) Danger… I can sense it. (He falls through the leaves and into a hole.) Aah! (fading out) I TOLD YOU SOOOOOOOO!!! (A trampoline sound is heard.) Huh?! What is going on?!
Poppy: You were saying? (A plant eats her.)
Branch: Poppy! (The plant growls and reveals Poppy dressed in a hula outfit.)
Poppy: Makeover Plant! (She laughs and dances with the plant.)
Branch: A Makeover Plant?! (He moves Poppy away.) That makes no evolutionary sense! (Soon, he and Poppy are further in the jungle. They scream as a volcano erupts.) Danger! (He screams as cheese falls on him and continues screaming. He soon stops.) Why is nothing happening? (Poppy tastes the cheese.)
Poppy: Nacho cheese.
Branch: Huh?
Poppy: It’s not even spicy.
Branch: (Getting up) What is going on? There’s got to be danger here somewhere. (He picks up and drops a rock that makes squeaky sounds and bounces.) I don’t get it. It’s like this island is… is… 
Poppy: It’s OK; you can say it.
Branch: Completely safe. (His voice echoes in his head.) All right. (Meanwhile, Smidge is trying to climb a try to get coconuts.)
DJ Suki: Hurry! Before Branch comes back to scold us.
Cooper: (Imitating Branch) “Oh, I’m Branch! Don’t climb high trees. Don’t eat weird fruit. Don’t do inaccurate impressions of me.” (Smidge manages to grab a coconut.)
Smidge: Got ‘em! Branch isn’t gonna ruin this taste of paradise.
Branch: No worries there, friends. (We show Branch lying down on top of a palm tree. Another one sways and he gets a coconut. Then he gets off the tree, slides down some leaves, and lands back on the ground.)
DJ Suki: Whoa! How did you know the tree would do that?
Branch: (As a chair comes out of the sand) The island provides.
Smidge: Oh… (She lands on the ground.) You feeling OK, Branch?
Branch: No, no, no. Not Branch. Not anymore. (He spins his coconut.) Call me… Frond.
Smidge, DJ Suki, and Cooper: Huh?
Branch: That’s the name I go by here in paradise. (He cracks his coconut and pink juice goes into a cup.) Wonderland. (He picks up another cup, puts it over his juice-filled cup, and shakes them together.) A place where danger can’t touch us. (He throws the cups and they bounce on some little palm trees. He then removes the cover, and pours the juice into another cup. Poppy slides down a leaf.)
Poppy; Guys, isn’t this crazy? Frond is the new, worry-free Branch.
DJ Suki: Worry-free? As in, no precaution? Preparation? Panic?
Branch: Nope. No need for ‘em here. The island provices.
Cooper: (laughs) Classic Frond.
Branch: You see, it’s like this. (He snaps his fingers a nature sound is heard. He then sings Feel The Vibe (The Island Provides).)
(Branch)
Feel the vibes
The island provides
(Voices)
Yeah
(Branch)
All my worries
Rolled out with the tide
(Voices)
Tide
(Branch)
I’ve wasted so much time
Living my life 
As if there’s danger around each bend
But now you see me
Throwing caution to the breeze
Because the island is my friend 
(Voices)
My bestest friend
(Branch)
I’ll stick my head 
Inside a gator’s mouth
And still come out
The other side all right 
Because I’m safe as safe can be
(Voices)
Yeah
(Branch)
Or juggle these ‘cause me
And the bees, we’re all at ease
Out here in peace and harmony
Feel the vibes 
The island provides
All my worries 
Rolled out with the tide (Some birds are heard squawking while Poppy and her friends are relaxing. Branch is seen playing a ukulele on a tree.)
Poppy: (sighs) This has been one productive detour. We got a new Branch! I hope he’s around to stay. (Smidge laughs with joy. Suddenly, they hear thunder.)
Poppy and Smidge: Huh? (Lightning strikes in the sky.)
Branch: (gasps) Oh, no! I forgot I made you these shell necklaces. (He throws shell necklaces to his friends.)
Poppy: Seashell necklaces? But, Branch- (Thunder is heard again.)
Branch: Frond.
Poppy; Right. Frond, that storm looks pretty bad. (Cooper gasps and he, Smidge, and DJ Suki hug each other.)
Branch: (Sliding down a leaf) Ah, mainlanders. I was like you when I first came here.
Smidge: You mean like, three hours ago?
Branch: Always fussing over every little thing. But like I always say…
Poppy, Smidge, and Cooper: The island provides. (They hear the thunder again.)
Branch: Don’t worry.
Poppy: Yeah. Frond’s right, guys. After all, this is paradise. (Suddenly, a tornado appears and she screams and jumps back. It then starts raining.) OK, spoke too soon! Got to find a way to weather this storm! (She, Smidge, and DJ Suki screams as they go flying in the air. Cooper is seen tied to a tree.)
Cooper: Anchor yourself to something! (He goes up into the air with the wind and screams. He constantly hits the palm tree.) THIS WAS A BAD IDEA!
Poppy: We have to head for the wormhole! Get to Branch’s boat!
Smidge: No way! He said it was only half-built! (Lightning strikes the ground and she dodges it.) To the boat! (She and the others run to the boat.)
Poppy: (Seeing Branch relaxing) Branch, hurry! We have to get off this island!
Branch: Yeah, I really prefer Frond. And you’ve got to relax. This wind is perfect for kiting. (The camera shows his hair forming a kite.)
Poppy: What?! We have to go now! (Branch flies into the air with the wind.)
Branch: Whoa! (He lands in the sand and finds a conch shell.) Oh, hey! Conch shell! (Poppy yells and drags Branch with her hair toward the boat.) We’re going on a cruise? (Poppy throws him onto the boat and she gets on.)
Poppy: We can’t wait! Unfurl the sail! (Cooper gets the sail unfurled and gasps because he sees a hole in the shape of a shirt. Poppy grunts and sees Branch’s shirt.)
Branch: Eh. The island prov-
Poppy: (yells) I got this! (She uses her hair to form a sail and the boat starts moving.)
Smidge: Poppy, this boat won’t make it unless we do some repairs!
Poppy: We need you, Branch!
Branch: Frond.
Poppy: No! I’m talking to Branch! Look, I’m sorry, OK? Yes, the old Branch drives me crazy sometimes, but I never should have wished him away. We need you. We need Branch. (The wind causes her to fly into the sea.)
Branch: Poppy! Poppy?! (Poppy pops out of the water and we see that she is surrounded by sharks. She screams for help.) That’s not good! Danger! (His voice echoes in his mind.) Poppy! (He rips off his shirt, ties the rope around his waste, and jumps into the water.) Poppy! I’m coming! I’m coming! I’m coming!
Poppy: (offscreen) Branch.
Branch: Huh? (We see that Poppy is back on the boat.)
Poppy: I swam back myself.
Branch: Oh. (He screams because he is surrounded by sharks. They reveal their faces.)
All: Hello!
Branch: Oh. (The sharks cuddle Branch.) OK. (Poppy, Smidge, DJ Suki, and Smidge pull him back onto the boat.)
Poppy: Thanks anyway. (Branch spits out a fish and water.) Frond?
Branch: (sighs) No. It’s Branch. Now, let’s get out of here. (He takes out his tools, drills some nails and builds the rest of the boat.)
All: Ooh! (The camera shows the boat fully built.)
Cooper: How did he fix the boat while we were standing on it?
Poppy, Smidge, and DJ Suki: The island pro-
Branch: Don’t even say it! (Thunder is heard once more and the wormhole shows different places.)
Poppy: Oh, no! The storm is warping the wormhole!
Cooper: You can see my house from here! Nope. Wait. There it is again. Nope, it’s gone. Whoa! Wait! Nope.
Poppy: If we go through there, who knows where we’ll end up.
Branch: Hey, detours are half the fun, right? (Poppy smiles and the others hold hands.)
Poppy: With me in 3, 2, 1! (She and her friends use their hair to form a sail and the boat goes toward the wormhole.) Jump! (They jump off the boat and scream as they fall into the wormhole.)
