== ==
(The book opens up to explain all of the recent events taking place in Troll Village.)
Poppy: Lately, so many fun things have happened, like water-skiing. Hair-achuting. And making this scrapbook, of me making this scrapbook, of me making this scrapbook, of me making this scrapbook. (It is revealed that she has been telling that to her father.)
Peppy: (laughs) Yes, yes, delightful infinite regress, honey. But you seem to be spending a lot of time with uh… what’s his name? (He turns a page backwards.) That one, you know who sang a song to save us from the Bergens? Nearly went mad fighting you over a pillow? What’s is name? Uh… Bark?
Poppy: Branch. And yeah. Lately we’ve kinda taken our relationship to the next level. (She shows a picture of her and Branch on her Best Friends Wall.)
Peppy: He’s on your “Best Friends Wall”? (gasps) Oh, Poppy, that’s wonderful. (He picks up Poppy and spins her in the air.) Well, I need to get to know this young Troll, to talk with him, to laugh with him, to scrutinize his character.
Poppy: Hm.
Peppy: In a fun way! So, tell him he’s officially invited to my next… (He makes a card with a pop-up._
Pop-up: Swag Stag Hunt! (Branch soon receives the invitation.)
Branch: Urgh. This is gonna be awful.
Poppy: What? Swag Stag Hunting’s awesome.
Smidge: Yeah! We sneak up on the Stags-
Guy Diamond: (Holding a feather) And then we tickle them until they cough up fun swag, like hats, hoodies and sunglasses. See? (The pop-up tickles the pop-up Stags.
Pop-up Stags: Bleugh!
Branch: Not that, although, gross. I mean your dad, Poppy. I feel like if I don’t impress him, he’s gonna disapprove of me as your friend.
Poppy: Branch, relax. I told you he’s done this with all my best friends, and he’s loved everyone of them.
Peppy: (Running across mushrooms) Trolly-ho! (He lands and puts on a scarf.)
Smidge, Guy Diamond, and Cooper: Trolly-ho! (They walk over to Peppy.)
Peppy: Coop-meister, Smidge-meister, Guy-meister. Favorite friends of my favorite daughter. You know what this calls for?! Noogies! (He grabs Guy Diamond, wraps his arm around his neck and tickles him in the head.)
Guy Diamond: Oh, stop it! (Next, Peppy pats Cooper’s tummy like he is playing bongos.)
Peppy: Tummy bongos!
Cooper: Woo-hoo! (Peppy then holds Smidge.)
Peppy: Pizza toss! (Smidge laughs as he spins and tosses her into the air.)
Smidge: Again! (She giggles again as Peppy throws her into the air again.)
Poppy: See what I mean? Now, come on. (As soon as she starts walking, Branch stops her.)
Branch: Wait, wait, wait. Should I call him “Peppy” or “King Peppy”? Or what about “Uncle Peps”? Nah, that would be weird. (gasps) Or would it?
Poppy: Yes, it would be weird. Stop trying so hard.
Peppy: Oh, good morning, honey. Thank you for coming, Branch. (Branch shakes his hand.)
Branch: It is my pleasure, King Poopy. Uh… I mean, King Poopy. Sorry, I meant King Poopy! Why can’t I stop saying it?! Ha-ha!
Peppy: Hm.
Branch: Uh… What I was trying to say was… (A Stag’s cry is heard.)
Peppy: (gasps) It’s him. (He sees some Stags and their king.) The King of the Stags, greatest of them all. (One of the Stags puts their head on the King, but he kicks it away.) And the meanest.
Poppy: Legend says his swag is made of solid gold. But no-one has found his ticklish spot.
Peppy: Oh, drat. If only I had my binoculars.
Branch: Here, use mine. (He gives Peppy his binoculars.)
Peppy: Why, thank you, Branch. (The binoculars’ glass reflects the sunlight and it shines on his scarf, setting it on fire.) My lucky hunting scarf!
Branch: (Removing the burning scarf) Sorry! Sorry! I’ll put it out! (He moves the scarf up and down.) Argh! Argh! Argh! (The fire disappears and he sighs with relief. But the scarf catches on fire again. He, Poppy and her father scream in horror. (Branch puts the scarf on the grass.)
Poppy: Not on the dry grass! (The fire spreads across the grass.)
Branch: No! (Poppy, her father and friends scream as they watch the fire spread and it reaches the tent. It goes out and the sigh with relief at first, but scream again when the tent catches on fire.) So sorry! I’ll get it!
Peppy: (As he, Poppy and her friends run past him) Stop touching things! (Later, he finds the remains of his scarf. Poppy and her friends have extinguished the flames. Smidge and Guy Diamond are jumping on the ashes, Cooper is sitting with a smile and Branch is sulking on a rock.)
Branch: That was a disaster, wasn’t it?
Cooper: Total catastrophe! (laughs) I was like, “Why is he doing that?!”
Poppy: (Putting her hand on Branch) Don’t worry. Dad knows it was an accident. Now, load up, guys. Dad wants to start the hunt, right after he scatters his scarf’s remains. (Peppy lets the ashes blow away in the wind and a tear runs down his face. Branch sighs and covers his face in his legs.) I should be with him.
Branch: How did you guys get close to Poppy’s dad?
Guy Diamond: Have you ever heard the expression, “He who bags Swag wins the everlasting respect of King Peppy?”
Branch: No.
Guy Diamond: Me neither, but it’s true in this case. After we bagged our first Swag, the old man warmed right up. (He takes out a feather and spins it.) Think you can handle that? (Branch watches Peppy play a bagpipe and takes Guy Diamond’s feather.)
Branch: Let’s bag some Swag. (Later, he is deep in the forest. He puts a tiny telescope on his feather.) Come on, come on. Got to find a… Stag! (The Stag eats some grass and Poppy gets out of her disguise as a rock. Then she tickles it.)
Poppy: Tickle, tickle, tickle! (The Stag laughs.)
Stag #1: Bleugh! (It spits out a blue foam finger.)
Poppy: (With her hands in the air) FOAM FINGER! (She puts on the foam finger.) TROLLY-HO!
Branch: Dang it! OK, plenty out there for everyone. (He finds another Stag.) There! (Peppy appears out of his disguise as a birthday cake and tickles the Stag.)
Peppy: Coochy, coochy coo!
Stag #2: Bleugh! (It spits out a T-shirt cannon. An upset Branch grunts.)
Peppy: T-SHIRT CANNON! (He fires several times from the T-shirt cannon.) TROLLY-HO!
Branch: Come on, Mother Nature. Help a Troll out. (He finds the King of Stags and gasps.) The King! (He stealthily goes over to the King. He eats some grass and Branch jumps.) TROLLY-HO! (The King lifts his leg and catches Branch.) Argh! (The King sends him flying.) Whoa! Whoa! (Just before he lands, the King kicks him again.) ARGH! (Later that night, Peppy and Poppy’s friends are at a campfire.)
Guy Diamond: Then I spotted him in the distance, and what I did is I glitter-farted my way right to him. (Peppy, Smidge and Cooper laugh. The camera moves over to Branch who is still looking for the King of Stags.)
Poppy: Branch, what are you still doing out here? We’re drinking cocoa around the campfire. Come join us.
Branch: Nope. Not until I bag some Swag.
Poppy: (grunts) Is this because of my dad? I told you to relax. And frankly, it’s getting on my nerves that you’re still trying so hard to impress him.
Branch: Yeah, yeah, impress your dad, I know. (Poppy sighs angrily and stomps away.) Ooh! (He sees the King again and laughs.) Gotcha! (He takes out his feather and walks to tickle the King. Later, he shows some gold to Poppy, Peppy, Smidge, Guy Diamond, and Cooper.) Who’s got the solid gold Swag? This Troll. (The Trolls walk over to the gold. Smidge picks up a gold coin and bites into it.)
Smidge: Yep. Solid gold, alright. (A tooth falls out of her mouth.)
Peppy: Hm. A first-timer bagged the unbaggable swag? How?
Branch: Uh… (He thinks about how he did it.)
Past Branch: (laughs) Gotcha! (He slips on slippery moss.) Whoa! (He rolls down the hill and his shorts rip a little because it touched a thorn. He then lands with a faceplant. Then he sits up and his shorts fall down, revealing a pair of white underwear with red hearts. The King laughs and falls to the ground. Then it spits some gold. We go back to the present.)
Branch: Uh… It would be rude of me to brag.
Poppy: Come on, Branch, this is amazing! You’ve got to tell the story.
Peppy: Yes, Branch. Tell us how you found its ticklish spot.
Cooper: Yeah, tell us, Branch. (He takes out a guitar.) In song!
Branch: Oh, OK, well… (Cooper starts playing the guitar.)
(Branch)
One starry eve, much like tonight
I wandered alone in the wood
I remember it well
‘Cause it was tonight
And there the mighty beast stood
All: Ooh!
(Branch)
Back of the neck? Armpits? Ribs? Toes?
Laughter was no guarantee
But a Troll of my character
Would never back down
Until it shared its bounty with me
All: But how?
(Branch)
I tickled it on the thigh, my friend,
I tickled it on the thigh
Golden swag was its reply
When I tickled it on the thigh
I tickled it on the thigh, my friend,
I tickled it on the thigh
Golden swag was its reply
When I tickled it on the thigh
(All)
He tickled it on the thigh, my friend,
He tickled it on the thigh
Golden swag was its reply
When he tickled it on the thigh, hey!
Peppy: Well, well, well. That was a whopper of a tale. And all I can say is… (He picks up Branch and tickles him.) Noogies! (Branch laugh as he is being tickled.) (He pats Branch’s tummy next.) Tummy Bongos! (Then he tosses him in the air like if we is pizza dough.) Pizza toss!
All: Trolly-ho! Trolly-ho! Trolly-ho! (They hear a Stag call and Branch lands on the gold. The King reappears.)
Peppy: (gasps) It’s him! Who wants to see Branch tickle him again?!
All: (Jumping up and down) YEAH!
Branch: Wait. Now?
Peppy: Of course, Branch-meister. (Poppy and her friends cheer while Branch sighs. Then they go out to watch him tickle the King.) Oh, I’m so excited. Thank you, my boy.
Poppy: “My boy”? Told you he’d like you. Now go show us how it’s done. (A cricket chirps and the King of Stags snorts and cries out as he crushes it.)
Branch: Gee. You know, it happened so fast. I’m forgetting how I did it.
(All)
You tickled it on the thigh, my friend,
You tickled it on the thigh, hey!
Branch: Oh, right. I sang that. (He gets out of the bushes.) Great. (As he sneaks up to the king, he hears his snorting and hides.) Ah! (The King looks away again and Branch sighs in relief.) Hm? (Poppy, her father and friends motion him to tickle the King. Branch steps on a stick, scaring the King. He whimpers in fear as the King gets closer.)
Smidge: Uh, his “about to laugh” face looks a lot like an “about to aim” face.
Poppy: Actually, yeah. I think you’re right, Smidge. (The King of Stags gets ready to attack Branch by stomping.) Watch out!
Branch: Huh? (He hits the King with the feather and he becomes enraged.) Whoa! (He dodges the King’s charge attack. Poppy runs away from the King screaming.)
Branch and Peppy: Poppy! (They run after her.)
Peppy: Making the Stag King laugh is the only way to stop this! Give me the feather! (Branch stops running.) Branch, what are you doing?!
Branch: (Throwing the feather away) I didn’t get it to laugh that way. (He uses his hair as a catapult and jumps into the air. Then he grabs Poppy.)
Poppy: Argh! (She and Branch land safely on the ground. Just before the King can attack them, Branch pulls down his shorts and he rolls on the ground laughing. Poppy gasps in shock.)
Smidge: (Covering her eyes) I’m blind!
Cooper: (Covering his eyes) Nobody wants to see that!
Guy Diamond: You go, boy!
Peppy: What was that? (The King of Stags continues laughing until he spits out more gold. Then he walks away.)
Branch: (sighs) I’ve got a confession.
Poppy: Oh! Put pants on, then confess.
Branch: Right. Sorry, sorry. (He pulls his shorts back up.) Look, I never tickled the Stag King, OK? I just acted like I had, because I wanted you to like me, King Peppy.
Peppy: You thought I’d only like you if you’d bag swag? Whoever gave you that idea? (Branch snarls and Smidge jumps onto Guy Diamond’s back.)
Smidge: Abort, Guy. Abort! (Guy Diamond takes off like a rocket.)
Peppy: Branch, my only concern is that you treat my daughter like a friend should. And after what you just did, you’re good in my scrapbook.
Poppy and Cooper: Aw!
Peppy: Besides, even if I didn’t like you, she’d never listen to me. She’s very stubborn.
Branch: Right? It’s like when she makes up her mind, there’s no changing it.
Peppy: Oh, so true! (He and Branch laugh and walk together.)
Poppy: Uh, what’s going on here?
Branch: And how is she always so positive?
Peppy: Yeah! “I’m Poppy, and I scrapbook every day.”
Branch: “My answer for everything is hugging.” (Poppy becomes surprised.)
Peppy: Turn it off once in a while, am I right?
Branch: (laughs) This feels good. (He and Peppy walk away together.)
