(Poppy's scrapbooking book appears as she begins to tell the story)
Poppy: (Narrating) "Once upon a time...in a happy forest, in the happiest tree...lived the happiest creatures the world has ever known. The Trolls. They loved nothing more than to sing, and dance, and hug. Dance, and hug, and sing, and dance, and sing, and hug, and dance, and hug, and dance, and sing, and hug, and dance, and hug...But then one day, the Trolls were discovered by...a Bergen! The Bergens didn't know how to sing...or dance...or even hug. They were the most miserable creatures in all the land. And once they saw how happy the Trolls were...they wanted some of that happiness for themselves." (Bergen eats a troll. Random Troll: "Oh, my gosh!") "Eating a Troll made them feel so happy...they started a tradition. Once a year, every year...the Bergens would gather around the Troll Tree to taste happiness...on a holiday they called...Trollstice."
"Those…are Bergens!" John Dory shouted, anger rising in him.
"Okay, that's just wrong man," Bruce said, disgusted that any creature would do such a thing.
Clay looked over at Viva, who was watching the screen with wide scared eyes as she relives her past. Placing his hand on top of hers for comfort, she looks over at him and smiles, grateful she has him in her life.
(Scene changes to inside the bergen castle, where prince Gristle is seen riding a bike on his way to wake up his dad)
Prince Gristle: (Enters his father's room and jumps on him, attempting to wake him up) "Good morning, Daddy! Daddy, wake up! Daddy, wake up! Wake up! Wake up, Daddy!" (whispers) "Wake up, Daddy. Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy," (rips out some chest hair) "wake up!"
"Oooh, that's gotta hurt…" John Dory said, wincing as he watched the baby Bergen rip out his dad's chest hair.
"Haha, remember when Branch would wake us up like that?" Bruce said, chuckling at the memory.
"Minus the ripping out chest hair part though…" Floyd added, smiling.
"Thank goodness," John Dory sighed.
"Yeah, let's try not to compare our baby brother to Bergens though," Clay said, though a smile played at the corners of his mouth as he thought of his baby brother. He couldn't wait till he showed up on screen!
King of Bergens: "Gahh! Gristle! What time is it?"
Prince Gristle: "It's Trollstice!"
King of Bergens: "Trollstice! Our one day to be happy!"
Prince Gristle: "Yeah!"
(Bergens march toward the tree, chanting)
Bergens: "Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls!"
(Chefs prepares the grills)
"Okay, that's really really wrong…" John Dory said, cringing at the idea of trolls being eaten.
Chef: "Please give it up for your Keeper of the Trolls...your Minister of Happiness...your Royal Chef...Me."
(Lights the grills, causing a pillar of fire to rise in the air)
Bergens: "Ooh! Yeahhh!"
"I hate her…" Viva growled under her breath, Clay being the only one who heard what she said.
Chef: "This is a very special Trollstice...as there is one amongst us who has never tasted a Troll."
Prince Gristle: "Ooh, me! She is talking about me!"
Chef: "Prince Gristle...the time has come."
King of Bergens: "It's okay, son. I remember being nervous my first time."
Prince Gristle: "Okay."
"He looks happy to me…" John Dory grumbled, arms crossed over his chest.
King of Bergens: "That's my boy!"
Chef: "It is my sacred duty to initiate you in the ways of true happiness."
Bruce scoffed at these words. "Yeah right, like there's no other way for them to be happy. Right?" Bruce asked Viva, looking over at her hopefully.
Viva just shook her head sadly, giving the brothers the answer they were hoping not to receive.
(Opens the gate to the tree and leads the prince inside) "I have chosen an extra-special Troll, just for you." (Grabs 'Poppy' from the tree) "The happiest, the most positive, sweetest Troll of all. And because every prince deserves a princess...I give you the one they call…Princess Poppy."
"Wait, isn't that your sister?" Floyd asked, alarmed.
"Yeah, but-but I think this is the day when we escaped…" Viva trailed off, afraid for her baby sister.
Prince Gristle: (Grabs 'Poppy' out of Chef's hands) "Please make me happy, Princess Poppy." (Pops the troll in his mouth)
"No!" Viva, Floyd, Bruce and Clay shouted. Even though deep down Viva knew that wasn't her sister, she still hated the thought of her being eaten.
"Aw, come on man! That's just wrong!" John Dory shouted, once again.
Chef: "What are you feeling?"
Prince Gristle: (Makes a disgusted face and spits the troll out) "That one's rotten!"
Chef: (Picks up the troll and realizes it's fake) "It's fake?!"
Bergens: "Fake?"
King of Bergens: "Fake?!" (Kicks the tree causing all the fake trolls to fall to the ground)
All the trolls sigh in relief.
Prince Gristle: "They're gone?"
King of Bergens: (Turns furiously to the Chef) "Where are they?"
Chef: "Don't worry, sire. We'll find them." (Snaps her fingers and her assistant chefs press their ears to the ground, followed by Prince Gristle)
Prince Gristle: "I think I hear something!"
(Screen pans to underneath the ground, showing retreating trolls through tunnels they dug)
King Peppy: "Go! Go!"
(Baby Poppy is seen getting passed up the line to her father)
Troll: "We got Poppy!"
Troll: "Pass her to me!"
Troll: "Here comes Poppy!"
Troll: "Here she is!" (Hands Poppy to King Peppy)
King Peppy: "Ah! There's my princess."
Poppy: "Da-da. Hahaha."
"Awww," Foyd and Bruce cooed at the sight of the baby troll.
Viva smiled at seeing her father and baby sister. It's been years since she's seen them, and she only hoped that they made it out okay.
Troll: "King Peppy, some of the others can't keep up."
King Peppy: (King Peppy hands the torch he was holding to the troll who informed him, then puts Poppy safely in his hair) "No Troll left behind!" (Begins running back up the tunnels, dropping his clothes to cover puddles and picking up rocks in the way of struggling trolls)
"Wait, a minute. Viva, is that your dad?" Floyd asked Viva.
"Yeah," Viva smiled up at her father. She loved how brave he was and how he refused to leave a single troll behind. Thinking that last thought made her smile falter. If only the tunnels hadn't collapsed…
"So…does that mean you're a princess?!" Floyd asked, pulling Viva out of her thoughts.
"Oh, um, yeah," Viva said, trying to not make a big deal about it.
"Clay, did you know!?" asked John Dory.
"Yeah, Viva has already told me about this day," he answered.
Troll: "Thank you, King Peppy!"
Troll: "Thank you, King Peppy!"
Troll: "Thank you!"
Troll: "Thank you, King Peppy."
King Peppy: "No Troll left behind!" (Begins running back toward the exit, carrying trolls on his back who are unable to run)
(Shovels and pickaxes begin penetrating the earth by the bergens in order to stop the trolls from escaping)
Prince Gristle: "Daddy, where are they?"
King of Bergens: (Turns furiously to Chef) "Don't just stand there! Make my son happy!"
Chef: "He will be happy!" (Grabs a pickaxe and rams it in the earth)
(King Peppy gets caught by a pickaxe, and as he sees the ground breaking ahead, he throws the ball of trolls he has saved ahead of him, rolling them out of harm's way and to safety. The ball of trolls safely make it outside the tunnels)
"Oh no, Dad!"
Troll with broken leg: "I don't think King Peppy made it."
"No…" Viva softly said, tears forming in her eyes. She'd always feared that her father and sister never made it out, but now that she was seeing it…
King Peppy: "When I say no Troll left behind...I mean, no Troll left behind!" (King Peppy emerges from the tunnel, welcomed by to the trolls cheers of triumph and joy)
"Dad! Yes, he made it!" Viva exclaimed, the tears that had built up now falling down her face in joy. She turned around and embraced Clay, happiness and relief filling her. Looking over Clay's shoulder, she saw Bruce, John and Floyd also cheering.
Troll: "King Peppy, where's Princess Poppy?"
King Peppy: "Don't worry. She's safe." (Reveals Poppy from her hiding place in his hair and takes her out)
Poppy: "No Troll left behind!"
Trolls: "Aww!"
Floyd and Bruce cooed as well, causing Viva, John and Clay to laugh.
King Peppy: "But we'll be a lot safer the further we get from Bergen Town. Go, go! Hurry!" (Leads the trolls along the forest ground as they seek refuge)
"Viva, why weren't you shown?" Clay asked.
"I don't know…I'm actually glad it didn't show me, though. I'd prefer not to see that moment again," Viva sadly said.
(Screen pans back to Bergen town)
King of Bergens: "That's right! Take her away! Get her out of my sight! She is hereby banished from Bergen Town forever!" (Bergens carry Chef away from the King and toward the gates)
Chef: "We can all be happy again. I'll find the Trolls!" (Bergens toss her out and slam the gate) "And shove them down your ungrateful throats."
"Why do I get the feeling she's going to search for the trolls?" John Dory asked, worried.
"Probably because she will," Viva spat, bitterly. "Ugh, why did they have to throw her out?!"
(Screen shows Prince Gristle looking sadly out of his window as the Chef gets thrown out, then turns and walks toward his dad. Bridget is seen cleaning the rug)
Prince Gristle: "But, Daddy...I never got to eat a Troll. What's gonna make me happy now?"
(Bridget looks up at his words and falls in love with the prince)
King of Bergens: "Come here, son." (Picks up his son and sets him on his lap) "Nothing. Absolutely nothing. You will never, ever, ever, ever be happy."
Prince Gristle: "Never?"
King of Bergens: "Ever."
(Gristle beings crying and Bridget walks off sadly)
"That's…that's actually really sad," Floyd said, causing Viva to glare at him.
"You think the trolls should have stayed?" She accused him, angrily.
"What-no no, that's not what I meant. I'm saying that no creature should ever feel that…miserable," Floyd calmly told her.
Viva sighed. "You're right. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you," Viva apologized to Floyd, who nodded his thanks.
(Screen pans back to the trolls in a small area in the forest where they mark their territory as their new home)
King Peppy: "Here! Right here! This is where we will rebuild our civilization. It has everything we need. Fresh air, clean water...and sweet acoustics!"
"Wow, that's a really nice spot to live," Bruce commented, causing Viva to smile in pride for her father.
(Poppy takes out her cow bell and starts playing it, all the other trolls dancing along and celebrating. Time seems to fast forward as the audience watches the trolls building their village)
