(Poppy is hosting the Trollvial Pursuit. A spotlight shines on the crowd.)
Poppy: (Through the microphone) Six unique tribes brought together with one mission: to explore each other’s cultures. (Another spotlight shines on her.) But now, it’s time to see how much we’ve leaned about one another. It’s every Troll’s favorite trivia game…
All: TROLLVIAL PURSUIT! (They cheer as a mushroom appears in front of Poppy.)
Poppy: I have personally written a series of questions that will test your TrollsTopian knowledge of other Tribes. Who wants to go first?
Synth: Ooh! I’ll take the Country Western Tribe for Meh meh meh meh! (The screen shows a picture of a cowboy hat.)
Poppy: For meh meh meh meh! What is the Country Western Tribe’s most celebrated fall holiday?
Synth: Hm. Is it Yee-Halloween?
Poppy: Ding, ding, ding, ding ding!
Synth: Ha-ha!
Poppy: And for a Classical Tribe bonus question… What is a hair-psichord?
Holly: Ooh! A traditional, five octave string-mount instrument, which produces rich organ-like sounds and is most easily recognized by its parallel duel-keyboard architecture?
Poppy: Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! (A pile of streamers falls on Holly.)
Holly: Hot dang!
Poppy: Now for the Hard Rock Tribe lightning round. (The screen shows the hand symbol of the Rock Trolls.) Who can tell me the Troll who founded Volcano Rock City?
Dante: George Thrash-ington!
Poppy: (Imitating a buzzer sound) Sorry, Dante. The correct answer is Alexander Slam-ilton.
All: Oh…
Val: Um… No, it’s not! The answer is George Thrash-ington! Dante was right. (The audience gasps.)
Poppy: Oh! Really? Sorry about that, Dante. I withdraw my… (She imitates a buzzer again.) How about this one? Of the seven sacred power chords…
Val: Uh, there’s only six. (The crowd murmurs.)
Poppy: (nervous and noticeably embarrassed) Uh, uh… Why don’t we try this one? (She continues to make mistakes on the questions about the Rock Trolls.)
Val: No! Wrong! It’s a G-minor! That one’s Alexander Slam-ilton.
Poppy: (embarrassed) Heh, heh. Sorry, gang. I seem to have gotten things wrong about the Hard Rock Tribe. (A spotlight shines on her and she hears a hair-psichord playing by Holly.)
Holly: Ha-ha! Found me a hair-psichord, y’all! (She plays it again. Soon, the trivia game ends. Val is trying to comfort Poppy.)
Poppy: Val, I’m so sorry! I have no idea how I messed up so many Hard Rock details when I was writing the questions.
Val: Eh, it’s no big deal. You’re just not as interested in the Hard Rock Tribe as you are the others.
Poppy: Wha-what?!
Val: Hard Rock Trolls are loud, aggressive, the very definition of awesomeness. It’s cool; we’re just not your flavor of cupcake.
Poppy: Whoa. That’s not what’s going on here. Hard Rock Trolls are one of my favorite flavors! See this? This is a rock-flavored cupcake. Mm! Gimme that cupcake! Om-nom-nom. I just got a few facts confused! All I need is a little time to brush up on Rock culture. That’s all.
Val: Well, if you wanna spend time with Hard Rock Trolls, you could stay in Rock Hollow for a while. After one week in the hollow, you’ll practically be a Hard Rock Troll. That is, unless you don’t want to.
Poppy: No, no, I want. I want so hard. BECAUSE I LOVE HARD ROCK CUPCAKES! Om-nom-nom-nom! (Later, she and Val head to Rock Hollow.) Oh, oh! My first night sleeping in Rock Hollow! I’m so excited!
Val: Yep. Just keep in mind, we try to be on our best behavior when guests are over. But if you’re gonna be living as one of us, you’re gonna get us unfiltered. (She and Poppy go inside. Some Rock Trolls and Demo are playing their guitars.)
Demo: Yeah! Woo-hoo-hoo! Yow! (As Poppy walks, A female Rock Troll smashes an object.)
Rock Troll #1: Yeah!
Poppy: What?! (A male Rock Troll swings on a chandelier and it soon falls.) Aah!
Rock Troll #2: Got an order for Jill! Order for Jill! (Another female Rock Troll takes a drink.)
Rock Troll #3: Heh, heh. I’m not Jill.
Poppy: Uh…
Val: You OK?
Poppy: Who, me? I’m great! I was just, uh… admiring these guitars! (She picks up a snake.) Aah! (The snake slithers away.)
Val: Oh, some of the guitars are snakes. (chuckles) Helps us keep our edge.
Poppy: Oh! (She writes in a notebook.) Some guitars are snakes. Look at that. I’m learning new facts already. (Demo shows her to her room.)
Demo: Welcome, m’lady. If I may show you to your quarters… (He opens a curtain and reveals Poppy’s room. She is amazed.) I am so sorry! They promised me that the room would be ready! (He snaps his fingers and some Rock Trolls wreck the furniture including the bed.) There. Now it’s ready. (Poppy chuckles nervously. The next morning, she is sleeping uncomfortably on her wrecked bed. A bird plays a rock guitar and wakes her up.)
Poppy: Aah! Ugh. (Soon, she and Val come up on the stage.)
Val: First, we start the day with the Rock morning announcements. Why don’t you do the honors?
Poppy: Me? I love announcements! Thanks, Val! (She talks on the microphone.) Good morning! Looks like we have a band practice at 11 o’clock-
Rock Troll #4: Boo!
Rock Troll #5 It starts when it starts, man!
Rock Troll #6 Can’t put me on your hamster wheel!
Poppy: Uh… (She walks backwards.) Did I say something wrong?
Val: Not at all! This is how we express our rebel spirit. You’re doing great!
Poppy: Uh… There’s also an open class on hair spiking this afternoon-
Rock Troll #7: Your agenda can’t dim my light!
Rock Troll #8: Your empire will crumble!
Poppy: Um… OK. Have a great day!
Rock Troll #9: You can’t tell me what to do! (The crowd boos at Poppy. The next morning, more birds play rock instruments as a very tired Poppy groans. Later, she yawns as she goes to the stage.)
Demo: Prepare thyself, m’lady. For the Mosh-a-thon is upon us.
Val: 24 hours of pure, uninterrupted moshing.
Poppy: 24 hours- (The ground starts shaking.)
All: Whoa! (The Rock Trolls cheer as they pick up Poppy and bounce her. By the next day, the moshing stops. The Rock Trolls drop Poppy.)
Rock Troll #10: Nice moshing!
Rock Troll #11: (Giving his friend a high-five) Way to go!
Poppy: I did it. I can’t believe it! I moshed for a full 24 hours!
Demo: And now… ‘TIS TIME FOR THE MOSH-A-THON!
Poppy: That wasn’t the Mosh-a-thon?
Demo: (laughs) Oh, no. That was just a warmup mosh. LET’S MOSH! (The Rock Trolls pick Poppy up and mosh her as she screams. After a while, she moans while lying on the ground.
Val: Look, Popsqueak, you’ve done more than enough Rock stuff. You don’t have to keep doing this.
Poppy: Wha-? No! I’m not done yet. Gimmie more Hard Rock cupcakes ‘cuz I love them so much. You know… Om-nom-nom-nom! Om-nom-nom-nom! Om-nom-nom-nom!
Val: Wow! Consider me impressed. I thought for sure this would be too intense for you to handle.
Poppy: Uh… Nom-nom-nom.
Val: In fact, since your practically one of us, why don’t we make it official with a… Rock-nitiation?! (Lightning is heard in the background.)
Poppy: Rock-nitiation? Wha-What’s that?
Val: It’s our official introduction ceremony where you dive off a stage into a crowd.
Poppy: Phew! The way you said it with all the lightning, I thought it was something scary. I think I can handle a stage dive.
Val: Oh, Rock-nitiation isn’t just a stage dive. (Later she stands at a lever.) It’s a stage high dive! (Poppy gasps as an extremely tall diving board appears. Then she gulps in fear.) Everyone, give it up for Poppy! (Poppy gasps as the audience cheers for her.)
Poppy: Huh? (Val plays her guitar, grabs her with her hair, and throws into the crowd. Then they dress her in Rock attire and throw her back onto the stage. As she climbs the diving board, Val sings One of Us.)
(Val)
Go, go, go, go,
Go, go, go
You can do it
We’ll cheer you on
Till you get through it
And become one of us
Become one of us
Welcome to your new life
What you waiting for
You won’t believe the crazy things
That we got in store
And all you gotta do is climb
Higher than you ever been
Get to the edge
And dive right in!
You can do it
We’ll chair you on
Till you get through it
And become one of us
Become one of us (As soon as Poppy finally reaches the top, Val pulls another lever and the diving board goes up even higher.)
Poppy: Uh… (She gasps and sees how high she is and the Rock Trolls cheer for her.)
Val: Well?
Poppy: OK. I guess I’ll jump, then. Yay. (She walks to the edge as the Rock Trolls continue to cheer.) In 1… 2… 3! (She jumps and falls for a moment and pulls herself back up with her hair.) Nope! No way!
Val: Huh? Poppy? What… what’s going on?
Poppy: I don’t want to do this stage dive, Val! It is way too intense for me. This entire week has been too intense for me.
Val: I… I thought you loved the Hard Rock life? What about “nom-nom-nom?
Poppy: I exaggerated the nom-nom-noms. You were right from the start. There are things about Hard Rock Trolls I don’t connect with or understand. I wish that were true, but it is. (sighs)
Val: Yeah. I just wanted you to say that.
Poppy: Huh?
Val: Why do you think I made up this ridiculous idea of Rock-nitiation?
Poppy: This isn’t a real Rock thing?
Val: Of course not! It was just a way to push your limit. (chuckles) I rock so hard. Poppy, it’s OK that you’re not interested in everything the Hard Rock Tribe does. I’m not interested in everything that you do. Because we’re not the same Troll. I mean, how boring would that be, right?
Poppy: Right. Val, you need to know that just because I don’t like some Hard Rock stuff doesn’t mean I don’t like the Hard Rock Tribe.
Val: I know. In fact, knowing that you didn’t like it, but you still tried, shows me just how you care.
Poppy: Thanks, Val.
Val: Now go home! Get outta here! This stage isn’t gonna high dive itself. (She falls off the diving board.) YEEEEAAAH! (Poppy laughs as she watches her fall. At her pod, she lies down on her bed.)
Poppy: Ah… (She tosses and turns a few times. Then she picks up a guitar and wrecks her bed.) Ah… (She then goes to sleep.)
