The following is a transcript for the episode "Friend Matching".
== ==
(The camera zooms away from a picnic blanket and reveals Harper and Dr. Moonbloom looking sad. Harper sniffs and a leaf blows by in the wind.)
Harper: Heh. I’m supposed to be meeting a friend here for… picnic checkers. But it looks like she’s not gonna make it.
Dr. Moonbloom: Mm, yes. My friend has also not arrived for picnic checkers, and I’ve been looking forward to playing all week.
Harper: Mm. Me, too.
Dr. Moonbloom: Oh, well.
Harper: (Coming up with an idea) Wait.
Both: Would you want to? Yes! (They laugh and go over to Harper’s picnic blanket.)
Dr. Moonbloom: This is so exciting. Oh, I love cake. (The camera cuts to Poppy hiding in a bush.)
Poppy: Whoo! (She laughs and Smidge appears.)
Smidge: Poppy, what are you doing? Oh, I see. Hide-and-seek! Not it! (She hides in a patch of grass.)
Poppy: No, Smidge, I’m not playing hide-and-seek.
Smidge: (Getting out of her hiding place) You’re not?
Poppy: No! The reason I’m hiding here is because I’m friend-matching Harper and Dr. Moonbloom.
Smidge: Oh.
Poppy: You have no idea what I’m talking about, do you?
Smidge: Not a clue. (singsong) But I’m dying to find out. (At Poppy’s pod, she tells Smidge about friend-matching.)
Poppy: As everyone knows, one of my goals as Queen has been to build more friendships in the village. So, by studying surveys from each Troll, I found pairings with a high likelihood of friendibility.
Smidge: “101 questions to define your Spirit Cupcake.” This is why you had the village fill these out?
Poppy: Yep. See, I compare Trolls’ survey answers and see who matches. Want to help?
Smidge: Of course! (She and Poppy start comparing survey answers.) Hm.
Poppy: Hm. (After a while, she finds two survey answers with Guy Diamond and Sky Toronto.) Whoa, whoa, whoa. (She picks up the survey answers.) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! (She touches the survey answers together and they light up her pod.) Guy Diamond and Sky Toronto are the most friend-patible match I have ever seen. If we brought them together, it would be a whole new level of connection. (She imagines Guy Diamond and Sky eating ice cream together.)
Guy Diamond: (laughs) Sky, even since we became friends, we’re so connected. It’s like we can finish each other’s…
Sky: … paragraphs…
Guy Diamond: Yes!
Sky: (As he throws away his ice cream) … about the joy of new-found friendship…
Guy Diamond: (Throwing away his ice cream) Exactly!
Sky: … and how it’s changed our lives for the better…
Guy Diamond: Word for word!
Sky: … as seen in the following three examples!
Guy Diamond: Keep going! (We go back to reality.)
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! They’ll be so excited when we tell them! (She runs to tell Sky and Guy Diamond, but Poppy stops her.)
Poppy: Whoa! No! Smidge, we can’t tell them they’re a match. I’ve done that before and it ruins the chemistry. It’s too much pressure. (We go to the past where Poppy is friend-matching Biggie and Ripley Wisp. They chuckle awkwardly.)
Past Biggie: So, Ripley, Poppy tells me we’re a friend-match.
Past Ripley: Huh. Yeah, like we’re supposed to have this “instant connection.” How crazy is that, right? (chuckles)
Past Biggie: (chuckles) Yes, instant connection, isn’t it?
Past Ripley: (chuckles) Connecting. (She and Biggie continue laughing until Biggie snaps.)
Past Biggie: NO! I can’t take it anymore! (He screams and runs away.)
Past Ripley: (groans) Awkward to the extreme! (She leaves by using her hair. Then we go back to the present.)
Smidge: That is a problem.
Poppy: So, instead, we keep the match on the down-low.
Both: (Giving each other a high-five) Let’s do this! (At the Funtime Factory, Sky’s assistant is getting straws for a milkshake party.)
Sky: Mags Gumdrop wants silly straws for her milkshake party on Friday. What do we have for her? (His assistant takes out a pink straw with twists and turns.) Sillier. (His assistant takes out a purple straw with three loops.) Sillier! (His assistant takes out another purple straw with a ferris wheel in the middle.)
Sky: Hm. Gonna say less silly.
Poppy: Hey, Sky!
Sky: (As Poppy appears with Smidge and Guy Diamond) Queen Poppy, may I help you?
Poppy: Guy’s in the market for some rare party supplies, and I thought you could help him.
Guy Diamond: (Taking his bag out of his hair) As you can see, I have quite an extensive collection. (He opens his box to reveal his party supplies.) But it’s not yet complete.)
Sky: Ooh! I thought I was the only collector in town.
Guy Diamond: As did I. (He and Sky’s eyes shine while Poppy and Smidge squeal. Sky gets serious again.) 
Sky: My assistant can show you what we’ve got. This casual encounter is over. (He walks away.)
Sky’s Assistant: Right this way. (He walks away with Guy Diamond.)
Poppy and Smidge: What?
Poppy: Wait. They’re such a strong match. Why are they not hitting it off?
Smidge: Maybe it’s the setting. We need to get Sky when he’s not in “work mode.”
Poppy: Hm. I got it. (Later, Sky is watching a Glitterball match.)
Sky: YEAH! (Poppy, Guy Diamond, and Smidge approach him.)
Poppy: Whoa! Sky Toronto? I did not know you were such a Glitterball fanatic.
Smidge: Wow! So is Guy Diamond. What an unexpected coincidence! (Poppy guides Guy Diamond closer to Sky.)
Sky: You’re into Glitterball?
Guy Diamond: Of course!
Poppy and Smidge: Eh? Eh? Eh?
Guy Diamond: Go, Hug-a-bugs! (He puts on a Hug-a-bug hat.) Yeah!
Sky: I believe you mean, “Go Puffalos!” (He snaps his fingers and puts his arms in the air. His assistant appears behind a bucket and puts a Puffalo costume on him.)
Guy Diamond: So, you’re a Puffalo fan.
Sky: Indeed I am. (He makes a Puffalo sound. Guy Diamond then becomes angry.)
Guy Diamond: HUG-A-BUGS!
Sky: PUFFALOS!
Guy Diamond: HUG-A-BUGS!
Sky: PUFFALOS! (He and Guy Diamond fart glitter and fight by kicking glitter at each other. Soon, Sky farts glitter in Guy Diamond’s face. He screams in pain because he got glitter in one of his eyes.)
Smidge and Poppy: Uh… (Later at Poppy’s pod, she hosts a picture drawing game. Rufus, Sky, DJ Suki, and a pink female Troll are the guests.)
Poppy: All right! Let’s get this game started! Who’s gonna guess with Guy. Hm. How about Sky Toronto? (Guy Diamond and Sky growl at each other like lions.) I got a good feeling about this. (Soon, Guy Diamond draws a picture of a tree. A clock ticking can be heard.)
Sky: An up arrow? (Guy Diamond grunts and draws a line under the tree.) Upward? (Guy Diamond grunts again and waves his arms.) Pointing up? (Guy Diamond grunts and draws a picture of a bird.) The opposite of down? (Guy Diamond yells in anger and Smidge’s watch rings.)
Smidge: Time.
Guy Diamond: IT’S A TREE!!!
Sky: A tree? Then why did you waste so much time drawing up?
Guy Diamond: (grunts) I never should have played with a fan of the Puffalos! (He puts on his Hug-a-bug hat while Sky puts on his Puffalo costume.)
Sky: (grunts) Sir, how dare you! I DEMAND AN APOLOGY!
Guy Diamond: NO! I DEMAND AN APOLOGY! (He and Sky grunt and angrily walk away.) He has no idea what a tree is! I don’t know…
Smidge: How are we gonna fix this? They just demanded apologies and stormed off!
Poppy: Hey, yeah! Apologies! (Back at his Funtime Factory, Sky is showing a chart to his workers.)
Sky: According to this chart, the accuracy of our charts is way down… if this chart can be trusted. (The workers murmur.)
Troll #1: Good point, good point.
Troll #2: That’s a tough one. (Sky’s assistant appears with a letter.)
Sky: This came for me? (His assistant nods and he smells the letter.) Smells like an apology. (He takes out the letter.) “Dear Sky Toronto, I would…” (He continues reading the letter. Guy Diamond? (At Guy Diamond’s pod, he is looking at himself in the mirror.)
Guy Diamond: (laughs) Me, you are one handsome devil. (Poppy and Smidge arrive.)
Poppy: Hey, Guy. We ran into Sky Toronto, and he wanted us to give you this. (She gives a letter to Guy Diamond.)
Guy Diamond: Sky Toronto? “Dear Mr. Diamond…” (He continues reading the letter and gasps.)
Poppy: I know! An apology letter from Sky Toronto. Powerful stuff, huh? Huh?
Guy Diamond: It’s powerful all right. (He becomes angry.) A powerful slap to my perfectly symmetrical face!
Poppy and Smidge: What?!
Guy Diamond: He didn’t sign in glitter! (He shows Sky’s name in normal writing.)
Poppy: What?!
Smidge: We don’t understand!
Guy Diamond: Glitter Trolls always sign in glitter to let you know they really mean what they’ve said. But without it… (He acts like Sky sarcastically.) “Dear Mr. Diamond. I am so sorry. I am dying to be your friend. Please, I really want you to give me another chance.” (grunts) Do you believe this Troll?!
Poppy: Guy, wait! I… Uh… uh…
Sky: (From outside) DIAMOND!!!
Guy Diamond: TORONTO!!! (He runs out of his pod.)
Poppy: Uh… No!
Smidge: Poppy, you should have told him!
Poppy: No! I can still make this friendship happen! (She runs after Guy Diamond.) Come on!
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! (Outside, Guy Diamond and Sky are arguing.)
Sky: Apologize!
Guy Diamond: No, you!
Sky: No, you!
Guy Diamond: No, you!
Sky: Apologize!
Guy Diamond: You apologize!
Sky: I told you to apologize!
Guy Diamond: You apologize! I need an apology!
Poppy: Whoa! Hey! Hey! (She and Smidge approach the Glitter Trolls.) Things are getting a little tense here, gang. How about uh… a song? That always brings people together.
Guy Diamond and Sky: A song? That’s perfect!
Poppy: Wait, what?
Guy Diamond: (Taking out a microphone) Ha! We all know you’re not a strong singer, Sky. You’re going… (sings) DOWN!
Sky: Well, the boys in R&D have been tinkering with this customized microphone, so I think I’ll be… (sings) FINE!
Guy Diamond: (gasps) He has acquired… the gift. (Closeup of Guy Diamond's feet as he turns them to his right. He and Sky face away from each other and walk further away from each other.)
Poppy: No! Guys! We’re going the wrong way here! (Guy Diamond turns around and starts singing.)
(Guy Diamond)
Read, set, go! Don’t you know
You don’t got nothing on me?
(Sky)
Didn’t you know
I can outdo you supernaturally?
(Guy Diamond)
But I got all the rhythm
(Sky)
But I got the precision
(Guy Diamond)
Ready, set, go!
(Sky)
Yeah! Nothing can stop me
Now that I can sing! Go!
(Guy Diamond)
I don’t got time for imitators
I don’t got time for any haters
(Both)
No!
(Sky)
You can’t get enough from Sky Toronto
Calling your bluff
No way you want to go
(Both)
Go!
(Guy Diamond)
You’re so dull
(Sky)
You don’t shine
(Guy Diamond)
They’re my friends
(Sky)
Now they’re mine
(Both)
Yeah! (Poppy finally stops them.)
Poppy: STOP! Look, there’s something you should know. You’re only mad at each other because I tried to force you two to be friends.
Guy Diamond: What?
Sky: (Still singing) What? (He stops singing and puts away his microphone.) Sorry. What?
Poppy: The Spirit Cupcake survey I gave out? I have been using the answers to figure out which Trolls would make good friends, and you two were a near-perfect match! Sorry I interfered.
Sky: A survey? My assistant usually fills out that sort of thing for me.
Poppy: Wait. Guy’s a match for Sky’s assistant? (We shift to the Funtime Factory where Sky’s assistant is looking in the mirror.)
Sky’s Assistant: Me, you are one handsome devil. (He clicks his tongue and we go back to Poppy, Guy Diamond, and Sky. Poppy groans.)
Guy Diamond: That makes more sense.
Sky: Indeed. After all, a Guy Diamond-Sky Toronto friendship seems rather unlikely. (Poppy sighs as he and Guy Diamond walk away.) Although… we did make excellent music together.
Guy Diamond: “Unrivaled” is the term that comes to mind. Perhaps we could perform again sometime soon?
Sky: How about…
Guy Diamond: … right now? I thought you’d never ask. (He and Sky take out their microphones again.)
(Both)
Ready, set, go!
We sing in perfect harmony
Wouldn’t you know
Our voices blend majestically… (They continue singing as they walk off.)
Poppy: Ha! It worked! A new friendship! Exactly like I planned!
Smidge: That feels like a reach.
Poppy: Close enough.
