== ==
(Poppy is making an announcement to the Troll Tribes.)
Poppy: Friends, welcome to the very first day of TrollsTopia! (Fireworks explode in the shapes of the Trolls from the six Tribes and the crowd cheers.) Branch and I have found a way to match you newcomers with a Pop Troll buddy!
Branch: We call it The Buddy System. So grab a name from the piñata to get your assigned buddy. Fuzzbert? (Fuzzbert smashes the piñata and the crowd cheers. Guy Diamond, Smidge, and Cooper grab a name.)
Guy Diamond: I got Synth!
Smidge: I got Lownote Jones! (Cooper says a name backwards.) Hm? (She flips Cooper’s paper.)
Cooper: I got Dante Crescendo! Maybe next time, Obisor! (The Troll moans and blows his tuba. Biggie is paired with Val Thundershock.)
Biggie: We’re so thrilled to host you, Val! Our party’s everything you could want from a living spec.
Val: Your pod is a cauldron of lava forever spewing a sonic mirage of pure rock?
Biggie: No, but we do have cookies.
Val: (Taking a cookie) Let’s ride. (Satin and Chenille are paired with Holly Darlin’.)
Holly: Girls, we’re gonna get so close, it’ll be like we’re sisters!
Satin and Chenille: (gasp) I’ve never had a sister! (They look at each other and realize they are still sisters.) HEY! (Poppy and Branch watch their friends go with each Troll from the different tribes.)
Poppy: (laughs) New friendships forming right before my eyes! I’m blissing out! I’m blissing out! (She blisses out until it is dark.)
Branch: (Waving) Poppy? (Poppy does not answer.) POPPY!
Poppy: Huh? Wha-
Branch: You were out for seven hours. Not your longest bliss, but close.
Rufus: Poppy!
Poppy: Rufus?
Rufus: Deep in the forest, I found a line of critter tracks headed right for the village! Adorable critter tracks.
Poppy: (gasps) It’s a Puppy Parade! (She turns to Branch.) Every few years, the Cuddle Pup migration pattern brings them right through the village, creating a parade so adorable. The Trolls say… well… imagine the most excited you’ve ever seen a Troll and multiply it by 10!
Branch: (gasps) Sounds hazardous.
Poppy: I gotta go tell the buddies! Buddies! Buddies! (She reaches Biggie’s pod.) Buddies! I’ve got great news! (She sees that the pod is empty.) Buddies? (She goes to Guy Diamond’s pod.) Hello? (She goes to another pod.) Anybody? (Branch comes by.) That’s weird. Where are they? (She hears talking and laughter from her friends having a campfire.) Pop Trolls? Without their buddies? (She and Branch jump down the tree.) Uh, guys, what’s going on here? Where are your buddies?
Smidge: Oh, hey, Poppy. Don’t worry. They’re right over there. (The camera turns around to see the Tribes in their own groups having campfires.)
Poppy: (gasps) All the Tribes… separated?! OK, we gotta talk. Everyone, huddle up! (Soon, all the Tribes are together.) Guys, what happened? The whole point of Trollstopia is that the Tribes live together, remember?
Holly: Well, we tried that, Poppy, but, uh, fact is, we’re all pretty darn different.
Biggie: Yes. Very different. (We go to the past where Biggie is tucking Mr. Dinkles in for his nap. He puts a pink blanket over him.)
Past Biggie: Ready for your naptime lullaby, Mr. Dinkles?
(Past Biggie)
Twinkle, twinkle, glitter star… (Val ruins the lullaby by singing loudly and playing loud rock music.)
(Past Val)
How I wonder what you arrrrrrre! (The loud music sends Biggie and Mr. Dinkles flying.)
Past Biggie: AAAAAAH!!!
Past Val: Sweet dreams. (We go to another flashback where Cooper is with Dante.)
Past Cooper: Cupcake, roomie?
Past Dante: Ah, thank you.
Past Cooper: Anytime. (He poops another cupcake, horrifying Dante. We then go back to the present.)
Lownote: We all agree with new friends don’t always make the easiest roommate. (chuckles)
Smidge: Yeah. So we all went back to spend time with our old friends, where we’re all more comfortable.
All: Mm-hm.
Lownote: You know it.
Poppy: No! You can’t give up so easily. You barely gave yourselves a chance to bond. And maybe I can help with that. (The next day, she is on a mushroom.) WITH FRIEND FALLS! (She jumps off the mushroom.) Whoooooo! (The crowd gasps and Branch catches her with his hair formed as a pillow.)
Poppy and Branch: (As they hug) Bonding!
Poppy: Who wants to try? (Guy Diamond goes next.)
Guy Diamond: Are you ready to catch the glory that is Guy Diamond?!
Synth: Bro, you shine like a glowstick! I could stare at you for hours!
Guy Diamond: (Jumping off the mushroom) GUY DIAMOOOOOND!!! (Synth gets distracted by a butterfly.)
Synth: Bro, you shine like a glowstick. I could stare at you for hours. (Guy Diamond lands hard on the ground. Val is up next.)
Val: Whatever. I do stage dives hardness with my band. (She jumps off the mushroom.) ROCK AND ROLL FOREVER!!! (Biggie catches her with his hair. Then she does a back flip and lands in front of the others.)
All: Ooh!
Rock Troll #1: Incoming!
Rock Troll #2: YEAH!
Rock Troll #3: YEAH!
Biggie: Who are they?
Val: My band. (Biggie screams and her band lands on him. Dante is up next.)
Poppy: OK, Dante. All you have to do is trust Cooper. Can you do that?
Dante: Can I? It shall be intrusting for the ages! (He jumps off the mushroom.)
Poppy: Yes! (Dante suddenly stops falling.)
Dante: Aaah! This is terrifying. Troll the curtains. I done!
Cooper: That’s probably for the best. I was not paying attention when you explained this exercise. (He laughs as he walks away.) I’m frequent with it.
Poppy: (giggles) So, who’s next? (The Trolls walk away. Later, she is making an announcement with Branch.) OK, guys, I realize I gave you than you were ready for with the friend falls. So if you’ll all gather in to see the scrapbook, there’s something I want to say. Come on. Just a little closer. (Smidge reads the scrapbook.)
Smidge: “If you can read this, you’re safely in the trap zone.” Huh?
Poppy: Now, Branch! (Branch presses a button on Gary and a large pod falls down, trapping the Trolls inside.) Welcome to the Friend Forum… the place where you’ll finally bond with your buddies!
Dante: And how pretell will we do that?
Cooper: Yeah, Poppy! (He knocks Dante down with his head.) Great! Tell us how!
Poppy: Simple. I had Branch design a special door that will only unlock when it has simultaneously by Trolls from different tribes who are best friends.
Val: Give me a break. You can’t make a door like that.
Branch: Sure you can. By sensing biological cues between you and your roommate, like broken eye contact, elevated pulse, the door is able to-
Val: Yawn. I’m already bored. Let’s go. (She and Biggie try to open the door, but it beeps.)
Cooper: Ah, an angry buzzer, the sound of true friendship.
Poppy: Sorry about this, guys. I had to be sure you wouldn’t quit this time. But trust me, this place is full of fun bonding activities. Branch? (Branch turns on the light and fun activities appear. Holly becomes in charge of a card playing counter. Smidge, Satin and Chenille are sitting in tall chairs.)
Holly: OK, Lonesome Flatts hold ‘em no limit cupcake glitter card pie! Giddyup, y’all! Woo-hoo!
Poppy: See, Branch? In the forum, the buddies have nowhere to go which is the Best Friends Zone! (Rufus appears at the door.)
Rufus: Poppy!
Poppy: Rufus?
Rufus: The Puppy Parade! It’s begun and it’s even cuter than we thought! (He laughs and leaves.)
Poppy: Oh, no.
Smidge: Did he just say… PUPPY PARADE?!
Poppy: Oh, no, no, no, no! (The buddies become excited about the parade.)
Branch: Um, what’s going on?
Poppy: You know how much more excited I said Trolls get at Puppy Parade?!
Branch: 10 times more. So?
Poppy: What do you think will happen when they’re stuck somewhere and can’t get to that Puppy Parade?!
Branch: (gasps) We’re doomed!
Smidge: Poppy-ho! (The Trolls get excited and run around.) Come on, Lownote. Best friend up. (They try to open the door, but it beeps once more.) Oh, my Guh! WHY WON’T YOU OPEN YOUR HEART TO ME?!
Lownote: ME?! WHY WON’T YOU WHIP IT IN MY WAY?! (After pulling on the door again, they fall down.
Poppy: Whoa, whoa! Stay calm, guys!
Guy Diamond: This is no time for calm! Come on, Synth! Let’s show this doo who’s buds! (He and Synth hug and try to use their hair to open the door, but it doesn’t work.)
Synth: Give it all you’ve got!
Guy Diamond: NOT ME!!! (He and Synth finally fall down.)
Poppy: Guys, this isn’t helping!
Holly: Poppy’s right, y’all! We’ll get unlockin’ it! (She gets ready and charges at the door like a bull. She bursts through door and she is free. The buddies meet up with her. They gasp and see that there are no Cuddle Pups.)
Rufus: Oh. I’m sorry. They were here, but a moment. (He shows the last of the Cuddle Pups walking.) And I will remain changed forever. (The buddies groan and Poppy comes up.)
Poppy: (chuckles) Crazy, huh? One day I’ll be we’ll all look back on this and laugh. (She laughs until se sees her friends angry. Then they walk away.) Huh? Guys? Guys, I’m sorry, OK? It just… makes me so sad to see you all don’t like each other.)
Val: Hold on. You did all this? So we would like each other?
Poppy: (sighs) Yeah.
Holly: But, Poppy, I don’t think you realize.
Satin and Chenille: We do like each other.
Poppy: Huh? You… you do?
Smidge: Oh, my Guh, yes!
Lownote: Never beloved, baby. (He laughs as Smidge hugs him.)
Poppy: But you don’t want to be roommates.
Synth: Yeah, but that doesn’t mean we don’t like each other.
Dante: It’s simply means we’re still getting acquainted. After all, we truly are very different. (Cooper poops a cupcake and he gasps.)
Poppy: Yeah. I guess new friendships need time to grow. Hmm. And make some space, too. (Later, she makes another announcement to the residents.) Well, Trolls, It’s Day 3. And the dream of Trollstopia is very much alive. (The crowd cheers.) But trying to make everyone be roommates wasn’t helping. So I got the delicates together to design 6 new Tribe-themed living spaces, which will all be open to any Troll of any kind. As places to visit or as places to live. And so we present your new homes! (The ambassadors go over to uncover the symbols of their new home. Val goes first.)
Val: Rock Hollow! (Holly is next.)
Holly: Country Corral! (Next up is Synth.)
Synth: Techno Lagoon! (Dante is next.)
Dante: Classical Crest! (Lownote is last.)
Lownote: And the Funk Tribe Spaceship, Vibe Town!
All: Ooh!
Poppy: This is the future of TrollsTopia. (The crowd cheers again. Cooper goes over to Dante.)
Cooper: Sorry I won’t be able to come visit you, Dante, but there’s no way I’m going to fit in your new house. You gotta upgrade. (Dante frowns.)
