(Poppy is in her pod humming while painting a picture.)
Cloud Guy: (In Branch’s voice) Poppy, I need your help right away!
Poppy: Huh? Who said- (We see that Cloud Guy is in her pod.)
Cloud Guy: “Who said that?” It was me. “Cloud Guy?” Hey, guys. How’s it going? Now that it’s covered: Poppy, I need your help right away, with this! (He gives an envelope to Poppy.)
Poppy: “Precipitation State University”? (gasps) Cloud Guy, are you going to Cloud College?
Cloud Guy: Back to Cloud College. As a younger cloud, I briefly enrolled at an institute of higher altitude education. Till that no-good dean kicked me out for “underperforming in class.” Which is ridiculous! I never attended class!
Poppy: Uh…
Cloud Guy: Anyway, ever since then, I’ve always dreamed that one day I’d go back to Cloud College and finish what I started. If the school will have me. But I can’t bring myself to open that letter and find out.
Poppy: (Opening the envelope) Well, here goes. (She looks at the paper and gasps.) You got in! (Cloud Guy gasps happily while holding his eyes open.) You just sign the letter and return it to the school and it’s official!
Cloud Guy: Wow! (He takes the letter.) I’m gonna be a Fighting Storm Cloud. (He sings Storm Clouds.)
(Cloud Guy)
When the clouds form
And the skies grey
When the barometer
Drops to two
When the rain comes
And kids can’t play
Grey Storm Clouds
Here’s to you!
S-T-O-R-M C-L-O-U-D-S
Storm front, moving in
From the south, south-west
Thunder! Lightning!
Rumble and rumble and clap!
Thunder! Lighning!
Rumble and rumble and clap!
Up draft, down draft
Gusting hail!
Make it rain!
Make it snow!
Make it…
Into the Storm Clouds
Blow! Blow! Blow!
Cloud Guy: Now where do I sign?
Poppy: Wow. I am so thrilled for you, but it sure will be different around here without you… especially for Branch.
Cloud Guy: (gasps) Branch! (Outside Branch’s bunker, he is sorting leaves with Gary.
Branch: What’s that, Gary? You didn’t know sorting leaves by composability made for a practical and fun afternoon? (He laughs and we see Poppy and Cloud Guy hiding in the bushes.)
Cloud Guy: Look at him, Poppy. If I go away to Cloud College, who will be there for him? Who?!
Poppy: Aw, Cloud Guy. It’s so sweet to see how much you care about Branch.
Cloud Guy: Care about him? (laughs) Did you guys hear that! (He makes clones of himself and they laugh. An annoyed Poppy folds her arms.) OK, guys. Take five. (His clones disappear.) Oh, Poppy. I’m not doing this because I care; I just wanna find a way to annoy Branch even when I’m not around so that he stays that little ball of jangled nerves I’ve come to adore.
Poppy: But when you annoy Branch, it pushes him to become a better Troll ‘cause you care about him.
Cloud Guy: Hm. Nope! I just wanna bug him. And bugged he shall be. I just need a little help. (Branch is now examining some grains of sand on the ground with a magnifying glass.)
Branch: What’s that, Gary? You didn’t know sorting individual grains of sand made for a practical and fun afternoon?! (He laughs and sees a male Country Troll with a pink balloon.) Oh, hello. Can I help you with- (The male Country Troll throws the balloon at him and pink glitter comes out.) What?! Why did you… I don’t even know you!
Cloud Guy: No, no, no! Stop! All wrong! Look, if you want to be me, you can’t just walk up and hit him! You’ve gotta play mind games, get in his head! Actually, you know what? I think I’ve seen enough, thank you.
Country Troll #1: Aw. (He walks away.)
Cloud Guy: (He takes out a list of Trolls and a picture of Sky Toronto is seen.) That guy doesn’t stand a chance. (He goes through the list.) Hm.
Branch: (Still angry) Cloud Guy, who was that?!
Cloud Guy: Branch, please. Can’t you see I’m busy trying to find a Troll to take over for me while I’m at Cloud College?
Branch: Somebody to take over what?!
Cloud Guy: Annoying you, kangaroo. Someone to pester and prank you in my absence. Unfortunately, Trolls are so kindhearted, it’s tough to find someone with the je ne sais obnoxious.
Branch: No! Now way, not over my- (Cloud Guy covers his mouth with one of his socks.)
Cloud Guy: Hold that thought, Branch. I have an appointment with our next candidate! Be back in a few, mushroom stew! (As he runs off, his sock remains in Branch’s mouth and he screams in anger. The next morning, Branch has a bowl of cereal on his table. He pours some sugar into it. Cloud Guy and Synth are then seen behind a wall.) All right, Synth, dazzle me.
Synth: Check it, yo. That’s not sugar in that shaker. (He and Cloud Guy giggle. Branch takes a spoonful of his cereal and his eyes widen. Cloud Guy and Synth giggle again.)
Branch: Hey! This is… really good! (He eats his cereal faster.)
Synth: It’s powdered sugar!
Cloud Guy: What? (Synth comes over to Branch.)
Synth: Ha-ha! You just got Synth’ed, yo! Meh meh meh meh! (Displeased, Cloud Guy marks and X on Synth’s picture.) You should have seen the look on your face! (That night, Branch is sleeping in his bed. Cloud Guy and Dante come into his room laughing.)
Cloud Guy: Warm water, Branch’s hand. You know what to do.
Dante: Oh, I do indeed. (He laughs as he takes a bowl of water, takes Branch’s hand, and gets ready put it in the bowl. Cloud Guy snickers and Dante rubs Branch’s finger with a stick.) The midnight manicure. He’ll never expect it. (Cloud Guy frowns and rips the picture of Dante. The next day, Branch gets out of his bunker and sees that his leaves and sand are gone.)
Branch: Hey! Who took my leaves and sand? (A shadow of a cloud appears. It is revealed that it was Holly using her hair in a shape of a cloud.)
Holly: It was… me. (She pulls a vine and a barrel spills the leaves and sand over Branch.)
Branch: Augh! Oh, no, Holly, please don’t tell Cloud Guy put you up to this, too!
Holly: Aw, now don’t you cry, pumpkin pie. Here, how ‘bout a fist bump?
Branch: No!
Holly: Aw, come on. One little bumpy? So Mamma’s not grumpy?
Branch: Gah, fine! If it will put an end to- (He tries to give Holly a fist bump, but she does various hand movements on his fist.)
Holly: Shark attack! Earthquake! Hot potato! Wiggle worm! Popcorn! And my personal fave: the “Aah! Hey, lemmego!” (She takes Branch’s hands and spins him around in the air.)
Branch: Aah! Hey, lemmego!
Holly: If you say so! (She sends Branch flying and he lands hard on the ground. He groans in pain as Holly holds out her hand.) Down low?
Branch: (Getting up) Never.
Holly: (Moving her hand away) Too slow. Too slow. Too slow.
Branch: Stop!
Holly: Too slow.
Branch: STOP THAT!
Holly: Too slow.
Branch: I’M NOT EVEN PARTICIPATING!
Holly: Too slow. (Branch screams in anger.)
Cloud Guy: She’s perfect. (Soon, he packs his bag.) You should have seen her, Poppy! She was a true nuisance! (sighs) Thanks to Holly, I’ll be sleeping soundly, knowing that Branch won’t be sleeping soundly.
Poppy: Oh. That’s…. great? I’m just glad you feel better about leaving for Cloud College.
Cloud Guy: Now, to sign that acceptance letter and this Fightin’ Storm Cloud is ready to… (He sticks his hand into his pocket and realizes that his letter is gone. He looks through more pockets) Uh-oh! (He sees his letter on a beach chair.) Ah, there you are. (He hears Branch and Holly laughing.) What? (He sees Branch and Holly eating a cupcake.)
Branch: What a performance! Holly, you really got under my skin!
Holly: (laughs) Oh, I just did everythin’ like you told me! Who knew being fake-annoyin’ could be so much real fun?! (She and Branch laugh again. Cloud Guy gasps and angrily comes out of the bushes.)
Cloud Guy: Fake-annoying?! What is she talking about, Branch?!
Branch: Cloud Guy! It’s not what it looks like.
Cloud Guy: Oh, please, I wasn’t condensed yesterday! You two are in cahoots!
Branch: Ugh, fine! Yes, I taught Holly how to pester me so you’d think you’d found a replacement and leave.
Cloud Guy: Well, Branch, you don’t have to worry about a replacement anymore. Because I’m not going anywhere!
Branch: Wait, what?!
Cloud Guy: You heard me, sneaky guy, who likes to lie! Since no-one else can do the job, I’ll just keep doing it myself. Even if it means I can’t go to college… and finish what I started. (He takes out his letter.) Which is why I’m destroying this acceptance letter! (He starts to rip the letter, but Branch grabs it jus tin time.)
Branch: No way! You’re going!
Cloud Guy: No, I’m not! (He and Branch growl at each other.)
Branch: So it’s finally happening, huh? The ultimate showdown between Branch and Cloud Guy. Just you and me.
Cloud Guy: Hm. Yeah, that doesn’t work for me. (He summons five clones of himself.)
Cloud Guy Clone #1: Hey, Branch.
Cloud Guy: Get that letter! (The clones charge at Branch and he screams and runs away. Two of the clones along with Cloud Guy pounce on him to get the letter.)
Poppy: Enough! (Cloud Guy’s clones disappear.) Would you two please just say what you’re really feeling?
Branch: (As he and Cloud Guy get up) What we’re feeling?
Cloud Guy: (Folding his arms) I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Poppy: Oh, yes, you do. Cloud Guy, you need to admit that Branch is more to you than just a Troll you like to tease. You feel a responsibility to make sure someone is looking out for him because you know that your pestering pushes him to grow. Deep down, you really do care.
Branch: Is that true? That’s how you feel?
Cloud Guy: Acts of irritation are my love language.
Poppy: And, Branch, you need to admit you want Cloud Guy to go to Cloud College not to get rid of him, but because you’d hate to be the reason he didn’t follow his dream.
Cloud Guy: Aw, really? That’s how you feel?
Branch: Well, yeah. I want good things for you, Cloud Guy. And you don’t have to worry about me because even when you’re gone, you’ll always be right here. (Cloud Guy begins to cry happily.) Every sweat jar I open, I brace with fear that you put a snake inside. Every time I fall asleep, I worry you’ll remove a tooth and implant a tracking device. Thanks to you, I live my life in a constant state of unease. And yet, somehow, I’m a better Troll for it. See, Cloud Guy, when I ask myself who has always been there to push me to be a better Troll, the answer’s simple: It was you. (He and Cloud Guy hug each other while crying.)
Poppy: Aw! (A week later, she and Branch are relaxing on beach chairs with an umbrella.)
Branch: Ah. Well, Poppy, I’ll miss Cloud Guy, but after one week of no-one pestering me, I gotta say, a Troll could get used to this. (A balloon with glitter hits him, causing him and his chair to fall over.) Huh? (He sees Cloud Guy in a sweater.)
Cloud Guy: Hey, guys.
Poppy and Branch: Cloud Guy?
Branch: What are you doing here? What about Cloud College? And finishing what you started?
Cloud Guy: I did finish: I went back and put angry bees in the desk of that no-good dean. And he did not like it! (laughs) What’d you think I went to school for? (snorts) To take classes? Ha!
Branch: S-so you’re saying that-
Cloud Guy: That’s right! Cloud Guy is back for good, people!
Branch: But… but…
Cloud Guy: (Holding out his hand) Down low? (Branch grunts with annoyance.)
