Satin and Chenille have a disaster problem with their fashion show.
== ==
It's Fashion Week, and Satin and Chenille are excited to show off their new range. They haven't made it yet, but are excited. They know it won't take long, as they just have to stroll around the village for inspiration. They need a theme for their line, so they ask their friends for help.
They start with Biggie, but he's too busy taking photos of Mr. Dinkles and doesn't even notice them. The twins chuckle and move on to Smidge. Smidge is in the middle of a workout and can't stop until she finishes. They see Guy Diamond grooving to a new beat for DJ Suki, but neither can stop because DJ's in the zone and Guy is too busy dancing. He passes Poppy; they approach Poppy but due to the glittery trail he left, she gets caught up in how to capture it in scrapbook form. She doesn't hear them until they raise their voices. They ask her to organize their fashion show but she is too busy with the scrapbook and asks them to ask her later.
They see Branch carrying firewood for the winter; he has begun to stock early. They look at him and shout "Male Model!". Branch tries to stop them, but they're lost in their own excitement. Finally, they remember he's there and states there's no way he'll be their model, as he doesn't even know what that is. Their suggestions sound terrible to him, and they believe they need Poppy's idea.
They run the idea past Poppy, and Branch stresses that this isn't happening. Poppy asks if he has ever been to a fashion show and he replies "no". Poppy suggests that he should try new things and he actually might like it. Branch has been trying to be more positive and open to new things. The girls have a big smile, to which Branch closes his eyes and agrees.
Poppy is now finished with her scrapbooking project from earlier, and is able to help them get organized. They go over ideas such as a surfer look, to which Branch notes he can't surf. They say it doesn't matter, as they'll make it look like he does. Poppy has scrapbooked a bunch of surfer-related items; the other looks they go for are "hipster", "business casual" and "preppy". They wonder if he also needs a tuxedo. When he asks why, they say that it's for the after party. This leaves hair and makeup, including glitter to bring out his blue tones. Chenille ties to style his hair, but he wiggles it out of her hand.
There's a lot to do. Poppy is scrapbooking everything. Satin gets his measurements. They also take measurements of his head for hats and headbands. They also want to try a jumpsuit.
As the twins and Poppy frantically work away, Branch is getting extremely nervous. Four hours pass, and it's time to try on the outfits and make adjustments. Branch wears the first one, and gets some things wrong, but they like the "preppy" look and believe it suits him. They accidentally put a pin in his rear, tightening the pants.
Next is the tuxedo, which has the girls all excited about. They believe it looks classy on him, but meanwhile he has a glum face as this just isn't him. The twins have to convince him that he looks great in the outfits and keep him positive. They're convinced that when he sees photos of himself he'll be happy, but as the session continues he progressively gets unhappy. Finally, the rainbow jumpsuit comes out, which gets Poppy excited. Branch feels that the rainbow jumpsuit and fedora are just too much, but no one's listening to him. They are so lost in their creation that they forget that Branch is in it and are rough on him.
Finally, they notice him slouching, Branch snaps at them at last and says he's not okay. He explains none of this is him, takes off the fedora and storms out of the twins pod. He's in such a hurry that they couldn't stop him leaving, even leaving the firewood he collected earlier behind. They don't want to make him angrier than he is and decide to not follow him. Poppy tells them he likely needs to go home and be himself for a while, but the twins are shocked and don't know what happened.
They realize he was telling him he didn't like to be the center of attention, and Poppy acknowledges that she wasn't listening to him. He looked good but didn't feel good about any of the clothes. They then acknowledge that he's not a preppy Troll, a tuxedo Troll, a surfer Trolls, a hipster Troll or a jumpsuit Troll; he's Branch, a practical Troll and they like him as he is. They know their outfits attempted to change their friend and that wasn't good. They should have listened to him and made outfits he liked. They need to come up with a plan to get him back and Poppy says that she has an idea.
The twins come up with a new line inspired by Branch and more suitable for him. Being more outdoors and ragged themes that are trendy, but practical. The outfits scream "Branch"; they're his usual look but with a fashion twist. Poppy returns with Branch, who apologizes for storming out; he explains that they weren't listening to him and he lost his temper.
They still want him as their model, but the new line is more suitable for him and this time they'll listen to him and make adjustments that suit him. They show him the new outfits in their workshop, which he likes. He notices one is a dress; this is for Poppy. They made matching outfits for him and Poppy, which makes Branch feel shy.
The runaway is made up to match their theme. Poppy and Branch go out on the run way together, Branch feels great about this and the two go hand in hand onto the runaway. The twins are happy as they pulled off their show and helped a friend.
