== ==
(At the stadium, a crowd of Trolls is cheering. Poppy then appears.)
Poppy: Trolls! Trolls! I just spotted them approaching. So give it out for the Hard Rock Tribe’s most popular band. It’s… (A Rock Caterbus appears.)
Rock Caterbus: YEAH! (It lands on the ground and the windows open.)
Poppy: Bad Hair Day! (As the Trolls rush toward the band, Branch appears in rock attire.)
Branch: Bad Hair Day! All right!
Poppy: Branch? Since when you’re a fan of Bad Hair Day?
Branch: Uh, since you opened the door to inner Tribe cultural exchange. (We go to the past where he is listening to a radio.)
Past Branch: (As his hand goes up in the air) Wha-? What’s happening to my hand?!
Past Demo: Totally normal the first time you hear Bad Hair Day. Just lean into it, man.
Past Branch: (As his other hand goes up in the air) Feels like… I’m gonna… (A flash of lightning appears. This causes him to change into his rock attire and he screams with joy. We then go back to the present.)
Branch: Demo called this my “Rockawakening.”
Poppy: Oh.
Val: Poppy! (She runs up to Poppy.)
Poppy: Val!
Val: I still can’t believe you got Bad Hair Day to play here in TrollsTopia! You really came through on this, Popsqueak. Pound it. (She holds out a fist and Poppy gasps. She looks at it for moment and shakes her head.)
Poppy: Sure. Whatevs. (She gives a fist bump to Val.) Excuse me. (She covers herself with her hair to talk to Branch. Her scream in excitement can be heard.) Branch, did you see far Val and I are coming along?! We’ve never been close enough to fist bump before! I mean, yeah, she did it. (She mimics and explosion. Blow it up. But that just means there’s another milestone to achieving our friendship! DAH! (She skips in excitement and uncovers herself.) But yeah, whatevs.
Val: Uh… OK. Anyway, I wanted you to meet Petra, my best friend from back home. She follows Bad Hair Day to all their shows! (Petra appears.)
Petra: Guilty as charged.
Poppy: Your best friend? Val, how… how did I not know about this? I don’t have a personalized gift basket to welcome you. (She takes out two baskets of cupcakes from her hair.) Good thing I have these catch all emergency baskets. This one. No, no, no. This one. Oh, here. No. Here. (She holds out one of the basket and Petra takes it.)
Petra: You must be the Troll Val’s told me so much about. The one who got her to go to girls’ night.
Poppy: Eh. Wasn’t that big a deal. We made friendship bracelets! (She holds up Val’s hand and the camera zooms in to show their friendship bracelets.
Val: OK, Poppy, you’re full-on double rainbow. Gonna need you to dial it back down to a single. Come on, Petra. You gotta see Rock Hollow before the show. (She and Petra leave.)
Branch: What do you know? Val Thundershock opening up, introducing you to her friend. It just shows how far TrollsTopia has come. (Poppy does not answer.) You’re thinking should have gone with the other welcome basket, are you?
Poppy: Yes. Petra, wait! (She runs off.) Why don’t you take both? Val? Petra?
Petra: I’m telling you, V, it’s so obvious! This TrollsTopia thing is changing you. You’re losing your eggs.
Val: What?! No. I mean, OK, I thought so, too at first, but it’s not that bad.
Petra: (Taking out a letter) Then how come you signed your last letter, “XOXO”?
Val: ‘Cause they look like tiny little skulls and frost bones!
Petra: Hm?
Val: OK, fine. I see your point.
Petra: (Putting the letter away) See? This place is making you soft, mate. You’re Val Thundershock, for Rock’s sake! We gotta move back home before it’s too late.
Val: You mean, leave TrollsTopia?
Poppy: Oh, no.
Petra: Look, let’s go have a true rocker-hang! After a little extreme fun. I bet you’ll be packing your bags by sunset. (Poppy becomes sad. Back at the stadium, Branch is cheering for Bad Hair Day.)
Branch: We want Bad Hair! We want Bad Hair! (Poppy appears.)
Poppy: Branch! Petra’s starting to get Val to leave TrollsTopia forever! What am I gonna do?!
Branch: Well, maybe-
Poppy: I agree. I have to follow them and make sure Val doesn’t forget how life here is so she decides to stay. Great advice, Branch. You’re a true friend!
Branch: But I didn’t-
Poppy: (As she leaves) Bye! (Meanwhile, Val is walking with Petra.)
Petra: So, is there anything good to smash around here or what? (Poppy pops up.)
Poppy: Hello, ladies! What are we up to?
Val and Petra: Uh…
Poppy: No ideas? Well, I have a few. Come on! (She jumps with Val and Petra, causing them to drop their things. They sit at a table.) How about we undull to one of Val’s favorite desserts, Klaus Von Frousting’s cupcake ‘elemore? (She uncovers a plate with a cupcake.)
Val: Ooh!
Poppy: Which you can only get here in TrollsTopia. (Just as Val is about to eat, Petra interrupts.)
Petra: Kait. But I brought a little treat from the Hard Rock Tribe. (She takes out a cupcake from her hair. It has a bomb on it.)
Val: Cupcake a la splode?! (She takes the cupcake and throws it into the air as it explodes. Some frosting ends up on the sun’s face. As more frosting falls to the ground, Val eats it. Soon, She, Poppy, and Petra are in the Dune Huggy.)
Poppy: Here in TrollsTopia, the Dune Huggy can race and embrace. (As the seatbelts wrap around the Trolls, she starts the Dune Huggy. It soon grabs onto a tree branch and swings. The Trolls’ cheering can be heard.)
Val: That… was…
Petra: Boring.
Poppy and Val: Huh?
Petra: You want a real thrill? (She whistles and a Rock Moto-Critter appears.) You gotta ride a Rock Moto-Critter. (She and Val remove their seatbelts. She then grabs the Rock Moto-Critter with her hair and jumps onto it with Val. They use their hair as helmets.)
Val: YEAAAAAH! (She and Petra drive off. They go up a tree, jump off it, and land next to the Dune Huggy.)
Poppy: OK. I said, OK. Stop. (She takes out a megaphone and speaks through it. OK! (Petra stops the Rock Moto-Critter.)
Val: Huh?
Poppy: Who’s up for a song that makes TrollsTopia so great? (She takes Val and starts singing Nowhere Quite Like This.)
(Poppy)
This is a place like
No-one’s ever known
We got a little bit of everything
And we get to call it home
Different kinds of magic
Different kinds of fun
Different kinds of voices in harmony
So sweet every single one
Yeah, you know
There ain’t nowhere else
Quite like it
And never once
In our history ever was
Nothin’ better than knowin’
We’re united
If you love it here
Then raise your hair
To TrollsTopia
To TrollsTopia
Val: Look, Popsqueak, I have no idea what you felt the sudden urge to sing a song detailing the virtues of TrollsTopia, but it was pretty awesome!
Poppy: Oh. Well, that’s cause TrollsTopia is a pretty awesome place. Actually, I’ve been wanting to talk to you about that. I overheard something earlier and… (Petra appears.)
Petra: Val! You won’t believe what I’ve got! VIT passes to make Bad Hair Day back stage!
Val: (gasps) No! (She takes the passes.) This… this rocks too hard! For… can’t handle… sudden… thrillage… party… shutting down. (She sighs and faints as Petra catches her.)
Petra: Aw. Sorry, Ploppy. Only got two passes Guess it’ll be just me and Val hanging out Hard Rock style while you’re out here. (She drags Val to the stadium as she laughs. A big Rock Troll opens the door for her.) Thanks, mate. (She goes inside.)
Poppy: Oh, I am going back stage. (That night, Poppy is in her rock attire.)
Rock Troll #1: Pass.
Poppy: Look, I don’t have a VIT pass, but from what I understand, no Hard Rock Troll can resist these. (She holds out a place of cupcake a la splodes.)
Rock Troll #1: (As his glasses break) Cupcake a la splode! My favorite! Now, let me think. Which flavor should I choose?
Poppy: Uh… Think, but the fuses are burning.
Rock Troll #1: Uh… Just gimme a second. Ooh! On the other hand… (Poppy starts to sweat.)
Poppy: (chuckles) They’re all the same. Aaah! Cupcake in the hole! (She screams as the cupcakes explode, sending her flying. Branch is the first in line.)
Branch: Yes! First in line! (Poppy lands close to him.) Poppy? (He helps her up.) Are you OK?
Poppy: No, Branch! Petra took Val back stage, and I know she’s talking to her into moving away!
Branch: No. I meant are you OK from that explosion?
Poppy: Oh, what am I gonna do, Branch?
Branch: Uh… (A male Country Troll enters the stadium.)
Country Troll #1: Yee-haw! We’re goin’ in!
Branch: Yeah, it’s a tough one. Want to talk about it inside?
Poppy: Val can’t leave now! We were just becoming friends. I have to convince her to stay.
Branch: Well… (sighs) Poppy, look. I love how much you love your friends, but sometimes loving your friends means letting them make their own decision.
Poppy: You think so?
Branch: I do. And sometimes you have to let people go. If that’s what they want. If that’s what they really, really want. (A male Rock Troll enters the stadium.)
Rock Troll #2: Bad Hair Day!
Poppy: You’re talking about you and this concert, aren’t you?
Branch: I’m definitely talking about that, but that applies to Val, too.
Poppy: Get in there and thanks.
Branch: You’re welcome. BAD HAIR DAY! (He runs to the entrance.) WOO-HOO-HOO! (He gives his ticket to Fuzzbert and goes inside the stadium. Val is now watching her favorite band play. Poppy then appears.)
Billy Reverb: (On the microphone) Hello, TrollsTopia! The first one’s called “Heart to Heart.” It starts with S with all needed. ‘Cause you need to talk to another Troll and get some off your chest. You know, like a heart to heart. (He and his band continue playing music. Poppy approaches Val.)
Poppy: Hey, Val. I’m gonna miss you if you leave TrollsTopia. But I support you whatever choice you make. And I get if you decide to go back home.
Val: Dude, what are you talking about? I’m not going anywhere.
Poppy: What? But… Petra.
Val: I talked to Petra. She understands.
Petra: Yeah. When we were backstage, she told me the Troll she’s changing into is the Troll she wants to be. So, I guess I’m cool with that.
Val: I mean, how can I give up all this? Different Trolls from different Tribes doing lives together in different ways. It only happens in TrollsTopia. (She holds out a fist.) Am I right? (Poppy gasps and looks at her fist. She then gives her a fist bump and they mimic and explosion.) Now come on! We got a concert to rock out to! Bad Hair Day! Bad Hair Day!
Poppy: I don’t believe it!
Petra: (laughs) Wow! She blew it up, eh? That’s a real milestone in your friendship.
Poppy: I know! (She holds out a fist.) So, you wanna…
Petra: Yeah, no. Way to soon.
Poppy: Yeah, yeah. I get that. (She laughs and the episode ends.)
