== ==
(The camera shows Guy Diamond’s mouth as he and Smidge chant in excitement.)
Guy Diamond and Smidge: Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! (The camera zooms out to show Branch and Biggie walking with them.) Truth or dare! (They cheer happily.)
Branch: OK. OK. OK. Whoa. Guys! Guys! (Guy Diamond and Smidge stop cheering.) I get that you’re happy we’re going to Poppy’s monthly truth or dare game day-thingy, but can we please dial it back?
Guy Diamond and Smidge: OK! (Branch gasps and sighs.)
Smidge: Sorry, Branch. You just don’t understand because you’ve never played. Truth or dare is so fun!
Guy Diamond: Yeah! Especially the dares. (We go to the past where he laughs while holding a pair of blue pants.)
Past Guy Diamond: Hey, everyone! (He puts on the pants.) Look at me! I’m wearing pants! Me, a Glitter Troll, wearing pants! (He starts wiggling his body.) Woo-hoo! Yeah! (The Trolls become disgusted and we go back to the present. Branch and Smidge are laughing about what happened.)
Branch: OK, I got to admit, that sounds fun! I mean, who doesn’t love a good dare? (Biggie starts sweating in fear. Soon, he and his friends are at Poppy’s pod.)
Guy Diamond and Smidge: Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare!
Poppy: All right, gang, I’ve put all of or names in this bowl. (She moves her hand around a bowl.) And up first will be… Biggie! (Biggie gulps nervously.) 
Guy Diamond and Smidge: Biggie! Biggie! Biggie! (Biggie whimpers in fear.)
Poppy: OK, Biggie, the question we’ve all been waiting for. Truth… or cupcake?
Guy Diamond and Smidge: Huh?
Biggie: Did you say “truth or cupcake?”
Poppy: Yeah ‘cause I can tell… you don’t like dares. (Biggie gasps.)
Guy Diamond and Smidge: Whaaaaaat?!
Biggie: (scoffs) Not like dares. Poppy… (chuckles) … I… I don’t know what you mean. (laughs sheepishly)
Poppy: Really? ‘cause you always pick truth.
Biggie: Not always. (We go to a flashback where he is playing the game with a blue male and orange female Troll.)
Past Biggie: Truth! (We go to another flashback where he is playing with a purple male and magenta female Troll.) I choose… truth. (We go to the 3rd flashback where he is with a green male Glitter Troll and a purple female Troll.) My gut says truth. (We go to the last flashback where he is at a campfire with another purple female Troll and a light purple male Troll.) You know, this time I’ll pick dare.)
Troll #1 and #2: Huh?
Past Biggie: No, no, no. I can’t. 100 percent truth. (The purple Trolls groan and we go back to the present.)
Biggie: OK, yes. Always. But you guys adore truth or dare. I don’t want you to not play because of me.
Poppy: (scoffs) Please, it’s just a game. Not a big deal. (She puts her hands in the air.) Right, guys?
Guy Diamond: Sorry, Poppy. I know you want us to cheer right now, but it absolutely is a big deal.
Smidge: Yeah. You’re not being emotionally honest.
Poppy: (chuckles) Wow. That went badly. (She kneels down next to Smidge.) Allow me to rephrase. Not playing is disappointing, but we all make sacrifices for the people we love sometimes. And we love Biggie. Better?
Guy Diamond and Smidge: Better!
Poppy: All right, let’s get our cupcake on! Truth or cupcake?
Biggie: Cupcake! (Poppy gives him a cupcake.)
Poppy: Truth or cupcake?
Smidge: Cupcake! (Poppy gives her a cupcake.)
Guy Diamond: Cupcake! (Poppy gives him a cupcake.)
Branch: Cupcake! (Poppy gives him a cupcake and they eat them.)
All: Hm.
Poppy: Actually, this game is terrible. (She throws her cupcake tray away.) OK, shut it down! (Her friends start to leave.) Meet here tomorrow and I’ll have a new game like… (gasps) Truth or ice cream. No! Truth or brownies. No. Truth or belly button lint. Ew, gross.
Biggie: No!
Smidge: Huh?
Biggie: I will not let this game be ruined. When we meet tomorrow, we’re playing truth or dare as always. Only this time… I’m picking dare. (Guy Diamond and Smidge gasp in shock.)
Guy Diamond and Smidge: Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! (Guy Diamond spins Smidge around.)
Guy Diamond: Truth or… 
Smidge: (As she stops spinning) … dare.
Poppy: Really, Biggie? Are you sure that’s what you want to do?
Biggie: Yes. All I need is a little help preparing for it. And I know just the Troll to ask. (Later, he is at Branch’s bunker.)
Branch: Me? I’m the Troll you meant?
Biggie: Actually, I meant Sky Toronto, but he was busy.
Branch: Oh.
Biggie: Then I tried Harper. Then Tug Duluth, Mags, and King Peppy, then back to Sky Toronto again, until I finally came here.
Branch: Well, you clearly don’t need help with truth.
Biggie: Please, Branch. I don’t want to let down the others. However tough the dare is tomorrow, I have to be sure I can complete it.
Branch: Relax. All you need is to get a little experience under your belt. (He shows a chalk board and draws on it.) The three most common dares are: eat something gross, pull a crazy stunt, and do something to embarrass yourself. First up, eat an entire jar of dehydrated snail slime.
Biggie: W-why? What does it taste like?
Branch: Only one way to find out. (Biggie whimpers as he picks up the jar and pours the snail slime into his mouth.) Hm?
Branch: See? Dares are nothing to be afraid of. Actually, when it’s dehydrated, snail slime’s not half bad.
Biggie: Mm. A little dry, though. (He picks up a glass of water and drinks it.)
Branch: No! Don’t do that or you’ll rehydrate it! (Biggie spits out the rehydrated snail slime. A creature appears from it, making Branch and Biggie scream. Later, they are in their swimsuits and on a cliff with waterfalls.) OK, onto “pull a crazy stunt.” Biggie, I dare you to do a cannonball off Cannonball Cliff. (The camera zooms out to reveal the entire cliff. A bird’s squawking is heard. Biggie whimpers in fear.) It’s easy! Just don’t look down! (He jumps into the air.) Whoa! (He falls toward the bottom as he laughs.)
Biggie: Just don’t look down. Don’t look down. Don’t look down. (He looks down and sees how high he is and screams.) I looked down! I looked down! (He runs away. Later, he and Branch are at a potluck.)
Branch: All right, 3rd dare’s the charm. “Do something embarrassing.” Now, get in there. (Biggie takes a deep breath and goes over to Bella and Gia.)
Bella: Welcome, Gia. Seven-layer dip goes to serving table 3. And, Biggie, what food did you bring?
Biggie: I… didn’t bring any food to the potluck. (The Trolls gasp in surprise and a blue male Troll throws his food off a table.)
Troll #3: What kind of savage doesn’t bring any food to a potluck?!
Troll #4: At least bring some chips, you monster!
Biggie: (whimpering) I’m sorry! I’ll go get something right away! (He runs back to Branch.) 
Branch: Ha! You did it! Wasn’t that great?!
Biggie: No! It was horrible! (He runs away.) I’ll never be able to do a dare! (He comes back with some food.) I brought some mac and cheese!
Branch: (sighs) Tomorrow’s gonna be rough. (The next day, he and his friends are back at Poppy’s pod.)
Guy Diamond and Smidge: Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare!
Poppy: All right, Biggie, it’s truth or dare time. (She goes over to Biggie.) But honestly, we can find something else to play. You don’t have to do this.
Biggie: No. I do, for everyone’s fun. Dare.
Guy Diamond: Yeah!
Smidge: Yay! 
Poppy: So be it. This one is a true classic. Biggie, I dare you… (Biggie gulps nervously.)
Guy Diamond and Smidge: Dare. Dare. Dare.
Poppy: … to swipe the statue of Dare-lene J. McGuffin! (Biggie gasps in horror.)
Guy Diamond and Smidge: Ooh!
Branch: Wait, who?
Poppy: Dare-lene J. McGuffin, the most daring Troll that ever lived. (We cut to a statue of Dare-lene. Poppy and her friends look at it from some bushes.)
Guy Diamond: Once on a dare, she shaved her head bald while eating six chili peppers and telling a total stranger she had a crush on them!
Poppy: Her final wish was that they build a memorial featuring a statue in her own likeness, just so Trolls could dare each other to take it. Biggie, all you have to do is go grab the statue and bring it back to me, without getting caught.
Biggie: (determined) Let’s do this. (He gets out of the bushes.)
Smidge and Guy Diamond: Dare! Dare! Dare!
All: Dare! Dare! Dare! (Biggie stealthily sneaks to the statue. His friends gasp as he is about to take it. Instead, he takes out a big cupcake with a lot of frosting and puts a cheery on it.) Come on, come on, come on. (Biggie takes the statue and places the cupcake on its statue holder. He sighs in relief.) He’s got it! (Just as Biggie is about to leave, the cupcake disappears.)
Biggie: What? (Some red flowers appear and an alarm sounds out.)
Troll #5: He’s stealing the statue that was meant to be stolen!
Mags: Oh! That scoundrel!
Poppy: Biggie, quick! Bring it to me!
Biggie: (Running toward Poppy) I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it! (Just before he reaches his friends, Dare-lene appears.)
Dare-lene: Don’t you dare!
Poppy, Smidge, and Guy Diamond: Dare-lene J. McGuffin?!
Branch: Wait, she’s still alive?
Poppy: Of course she’s still alive, Branch. Why would you assume otherwise?
Branch: Because of everything you said! Because she has a memorial!
Poppy: I really think you’re reading too far into things.
Smidge and Guy Diamond: Mm-hm. (As Biggie tries to run away, Dare-lene blocks his way. He screams and runs away.)
Dare-lene: Get back here! (Biggie goes through a bush.) I said, get back here! (Biggie trips and lands on a mushroom. Dare-lene lands on another, causing Biggie to be sent flying.)
Biggie: WHOOOOOOOOAAAA!!! (He lands back on the mushroom he landed on earlier, sending Dare-lene flying. Her screaming can be heard. She lands safely and jumps on more mushrooms. This causes them to hit Biggie.) Ow! Ow! Oof! (He drops the statue and it lands on a mushroom. Dare-lene giggles and grabs it.)
Dare-lene: Not this time. (Biggie lies down and his friends catch up with him.)
Poppy: Biggie, this is getting out of hand. You don’t have to finish the dare.
Biggie: No. I won’t let you down. (He picks up the mushroom that hit and hammers another one, causing Dare-lene to be sent flying.)
Dare-lene: THAT WAS A GOOD ONE! (The statue lands on the ground.)
Biggie: Ha! I’ve got it! Free and clear! (Before he can grab it, a creature grabs it with its tongue. Two more creatures then eat it.) My statue! (He grabs the blue creature with his hair.) Get back here! (The creatures spit out each other and the statue. It bounces past two male Trolls roasting marshmallows at a pit of lava and falls into it.) No, no, no!
Guy Diamond: It fell into S’mores Lake! (A yellow male Troll roasts his marshmallow and it burns.)
Troll #6: Aw… (The wind blows the burnt marshmallows away.)
Poppy: Then… it’s gone for good now. I’m so sorry, Biggie.
Biggie: Don’t be. I am not backing out on this dare! Someone get me some fireproof swim trunks!
Guy Diamond: Are you mad?! (He and his friends try to stop Biggie.)
Poppy: Biggie, you know I don’t like doing this, but I am playing me queen card. This dare is over.
Biggie: No, I can’t be the reason you don’t play your game. I can’t! (He kneels down in sadness.)
Poppy: But I will give you another dare in its place.
Biggie: Really?
Poppy: Yes. And here it is. Biggie, we all love you, and there is no game that we wouldn’t give up to spend time with you. Your dare is to stop… and accept that.
Biggie: You mean it?
Smidge: Oh, my Guh, yes.
Guy Diamond: You know it, boy!
Biggie: Wow. But you know, now that I’ve tried it… I think I like dares.
Guy Diamond and Smidge: Huh?
Biggie: Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare!
Biggie, Guy Diamond, and Smidge: Truth or dare!
All: (As they run away) Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! (Dare-lene, wearing a suit and mask, comes out of the lava with her statue. Then she removes her mask.)
Dare-lene: Dare-lene for the win!
