(Scene changes to Rhonda running along a road as it's dusk. Inside, Tiny is driving while sitting on Bruce's lap and a Velvet and Veneer song is playing on the radio)
Velvet on Radio: "Never gets old no matter how much I'm told, I'm amazing."
Veneer on Radio: "You're amazing."
"Why on earth are you listening to them?!" Clay asked John and Bruce in confusion, while they just shrugged as they were surprised by their radio choice.
Bruce: "Oh, my kids love these guys. We're a total Veneer household." (Branch looks at Bruce exasperated)
At Bruce's words John, Clay, Viva, and Floyd all looked at Bruce in exasperation, while Bruce stared at the screen in shock.
John Dory: "They're the ones who have Floyd!"
Bruce: "Ah, it's gonna be hard to separate the art from the artist." (John Dory rolls his eyes while Branch continues giving Bruce an 'are you kidding me' look)
"Really dude?" John asked Bruce, the brothers giving Bruce the same 'are you kidding me' look Branch was giving him on-screen.
Announcer on Radio: (Song ends) "That's Velvet and Veneer's spicy hot new single 'Watch Me Work.' Catch them tomorrow night at the Rage Dome," (Branch and Bruce exchange worried looks) "where they'll be receiving the Lifer Award. Lifer Award!" (Bruce turns off the radio)
"Tomorrow night!" John said, shocked.
"John, remember. This is the future. I'm right here," Floyd said, trying to comfort his oldest brother.
Branch: (Runs over to John Dory and Poppy) "Guys, will Floyd even make it through that show?"
Seeing how concerned Branch was for him, Floyd smiled at his youngest brother. It was nice to see how much Branch cared, even though he had left him.
Poppy: "Don't worry. We're gonna make it. We've been looking for clues to find Clay." (Poppy and John Dory examine Branch's clue board)
Branch: "Oh, I'm sorry, the clue board? You mean my clue board?" (Poppy and John ignore Branch) "That I made?" (They continue to ignore him) "We like the clue board now?!"
"Sorry Branch," John Dory apologized toward his youngest brother, while his other brothers sent him annoyed looks toward his behavior on-screen.
Poppy: (Points to one of the pictures with Clay) "What is he wearing?"
"Ugh, I hated those," Clay complained, causing John to now send an apologetic look to Clay.
Branch: "Oh. Those are just his…" (Flashback to Clay singing Perfect: "Perfect, perfect, perfect!") "…funderdrawers!"
"He remembers them?" Clay said, surprised. Branch was only a baby after all.
(Goes over to a glass case holding Clay's funderdrawers and breaks it open, releasing a gross smell)
"Bro, why'd you keep those!" Clay asked John in shock, wrinkling his nose in disgust.
"Because they're memorabilia," John said, as if it were an obvious answer.
John Dory: (Disgusted by the smell) "Oh, gosh."
Branch: (Holds Clay's funderdrawers) "John Dory, I have no idea why you saved these. It's incredibly disgusting, but I'm glad you did."
"It's absolutely disgusting," Bruce said, agreeing with Branch.
"Why does he need them?" Floyd asked, wondering why Branch was glad John had saved them.
John Dory: "What? They're memorabilia. But I will be good gosh darned if I know how they're gonna help us find Clay."
(Poppy holds Branch by his vest as he leans outside a window, holding a stick with Clay's funderdrawers at the end down to Rhonda, who sniffs the funderdrawers)
Branch: "Help us, Rhonda. She's got the scent." (Poppy pulls Branch inside)
"I would not have thought of doing that," John said in surprise.
"Dang, Branch is really smart," Bruce said, impressed with his brother.
"Wow. Great. It's good to know that in the future I'll be found by my brothers tracking me with my old underwear!" Clay sarcastically said, while his brothers and Viva chuckled in amusement.
John Dory: "Hey, Tiny. You see that button?" (Points to a button by the steering wheel titled 'Hustle')
Tiny Diamond: "Uh, yeah."
John Dory: "That beautiful, shiny button?"
Tiny Diamond: "Oh, you mean the button that is taking every fiber of my being not to press? Yeah, I see it."
John Dory: "Press it."
"Nice John," Clay said, snorting in amusement.
Tiny Diamond: "Oh, heck yeah!" (Presses the button and Rhonda lights up then runs forward three times faster than before) "Ooh! Let's hustle, daddy!"
(Rhonda enters the Hustle dimension, causing the Trolls to hallucinate. When they exit the Hustle dimension, the Trolls are all lying on the ground)
"Uh, what just happened?" Bruce asked, Clay, Viva and Floyd staring at the screen confused.
"We hustled!" John exclaimed in excitement. "Which basically means we're now almost to the place where Clay lives," he clarified as the others still sent him confused looks.
Poppy: (Stands up, surprised) "Wow. Too much hustle is a thing."
Branch: (Stands up and moves his hand, which has not fully recovered from the Hustle dimension) "Huh. Look at that."
At Branch's reaction to the Hustle dimension the brothers and Viva all chuckled in amusement
"I love him," John said, loving his little brother.
(Rhonda approaches an abandoned golf course and the Trolls go outside)
"That's where you guys live?" Bruce asked Clay and Viva in shock. The golf course compared to his home on Vacay Island shocked him and he began to be slightly concerned in how Clay has been living his life the past twenty years.
"It's better with the lights on, trust me," Viva said, still not really convincing the brothers.
"Well yeah, but you're so far away from…everything!" John said, not liking the thought of Clay living so isolated.
"It's not bad though. There's the PuttPutt trolls and plenty to do there," Clay assured his brothers.
"Besides, remember, before coming here we believed Bergens to still be feeding on trolls, and we didn't even know the others made it out of the Troll Tree for us to rejoin them. When we found that place, we made it our home because it was away and safe from any possible outside threats and dangers," Viva explained.
Branch: "Are we sure this is where Clay lives?"
Tiny Diamond: (Tiny is seen being carried by Bruce in a baby carrier) "Are we sure? Our GPS is an armadillo bus sniffing used undies. [sarcastically] So, no, we're not sure."
"Gosh I love that troll," John said, finding Tiny amusing.
"And Bruce, I love how you're carrying him!" Viva added, finding the moment between Bruce and Tiny adorable.
"What can I say? Kids are kinda my thing," Bruce said, smiling at Tiny and himself on-screen.
(The small group of Trolls enter the abandoned golf course, Rhonda staying behind)
Bruce: "I think this is the place from every true crime podcast I've ever listened to."
"You listen to podcasts?" John asked his brother, raising an eyebrow questioningly at him.
"Yeah, so what?" Bruce responded, shrugging his shoulders.
(As they enter further inside the golf course, various colorful balls are seen rolling around, staying out of view from the small group of trolls)
"Uh, what are those?" Floyd asked, worried for his brothers.
"Oh those are just the PuttPutt trolls. We trained ourselves on what to do when outsiders arrive. Don't worry, we won't do anything since you're trolls!" Viva added as the brothers gave her startled and worried looks.
Clown Head: "Halt! Who goes there?" (Startled by a sudden clown head lighting up in the dark in front of them, the group of Trolls scream and Tiny climbs into Bruce's hair)
"Ahhh!" John, Bruce, and Floyd yelled, startled by the Clown Head, while Clay and Viva laughed at their reaction.
Clown Head: "Who dares trespass on these sacred grounds?"
(Branch walks forward confidently to confront the Clown Head)
"What is Branch doing?!" John asked, startled by Branch's behavior.
"Woah," Clay and Viva said, looking at each other in surprise and awe.
John Dory: "Branch, what are you doing?"
Branch: "Listen, we don't want any clown related trouble, okay? We're just here looking for our brother, Clay."
"Why are you guys looking at Branch like that?" Bruce asked Clay and Viva as he noticed them staring at Branch in surprise and awe.
"No outsider has ever approached the Clown Head. We set that defense up to scare others away so no harm is done. But Branch is actually talking to it, unafraid," Clay said, admiring his younger brother's courage.
Clown Head: "Wait a second. You're…trolls?"
Branch: "So what? You're a clown."
At Branch's words Viva and Clay burst out in laughter, the others still too confused and trying to process what's going on.
(Just then, the Clown Head opens his mouth and shoots out a yellow ball)
Branch: "Whoa!" (Backs up, startled)
Viva: (Reaching the small group of trolls, a pink female troll emerges from the ball) "Oh, my gosh, hello!"
"Yes! I'm in!" Viva said, glad to finally see herself on screen. "And I finally get to reunite with Poppy!" she shouted in excitement
Viva: "My name is Viva! It is so 'fantastamazing' to see other Trolls!" (Runs around and hugs John Dory, Bruce, Branch and hugs Poppy last) "Hi! Ha! So, 'fantastamazing' is my own personal word. It means, um, fantastic and amazing. I used to say 'amastic,' but then I was like, 'Hmm, that's not as good.'"
"Way to introduce yourself Viva," Clay said, the two trolls laughing in amusement.
Poppy: "'Fantastamawesome!'"
"Aw, she made it her own!" Viva said, overjoyed to finally, finally, reunite with her sister.
Viva: "That's different, but that works too! Way to make it your own."
Poppy: (Whispers to Branch) "Is this how people feel when they meet me?"
Branch: (Whispers) "Yes."
At Poppy's and Branch's brief interaction with each other, the trolls all burst out in laughter.
"You and Poppy are a lot alike," Clay said, causing Viva to smile in pride at the compliment.
Viva: "Am I being a lot? Sometimes I can be a lot."
Branch: "I'm not sure we're in the right place."
"Why'd he think that?" Clay asked, his brothers shrugging in response.
Viva: "Course you're in the right place. Any troll is welcome here with us. Okay, PuttPutt trolls." (Claps her hands and PuttPutt trolls roll over to her and their guests) "Lights on for our new friends!"
(The golf course lights up, showing how the PuttPutt trolls have made it their home)
"Woah," John, Bruce, and Floyd said in awe, looking at their brother's home on-screen.
Poppy: (Looks around in awe) "Wow."
Viva: "Oh, my gosh. Are you guys hungry? Are you thirsty?"
Tiny Diamond: (Sitting back in the baby carrier strapped to Bruce) "Yes!"
Viva: "Fries? Fries! You guys want fries. I am seeing fries! Bring out the works! Milkshakes to celebrate!"
PuttPutt Troll: "Coming in hot!"
(John Dory, Bruce, Branch, Poppy and Tiny are served with large amounts of party food. They watch as Viva drinks a large milkshake within seconds)
"Oh, that looks so good!" Bruce said, eyeing the fries.
"Dang Viva," John chuckled as he watched Viva down her milkshake in seconds.
Viva: "Whoo-hoo! That's better. Now I finally have some energy!" (Braids Poppy's hair in seconds)
"When do you not have energy?" Clay asked Viva in amusement, while she smiled at him.
Poppy: "Did you just braid my hair?"
"Oh, she looks so good!" Viva said, proud of her work.
Viva: "You're welcome. It looks so good."
Poppy: "I love it!" (Hugs her braided hair)
"Yay!" Viva said in excitement and joy, glad to see her and Poppy were already getting along so well.
Bruce: "Wow, these fries are amazing. They'd really go great with a burger."
(PuttPutt Trolls scream and run for cover, blending in to their surroundings)
"What is happening?" Bruce asked, confused.
"Yeah, we don't say 'burger' there. It just sounds too similar to Bergen," Viva explained.
Bruce: (Confused) "What is happening?"
Viva: "Yeah, we try not to use that word around here. It's just that 'burger' sounds a little too much like, uh… [whispers] 'Bergens.'"
(PuttPutt troll screams)
"Clay, do you think we'll be able to convince the PuttPutt trolls that the Bergens are no longer a danger to us and that the others managed to escape the Troll Tree?" Viva asked Clay nervously.
"I hope so, Viva," Clay responded, putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Let's talk about this later though. Right now, let's focus on the movie and our reunions with our siblings."
Clay: "We call burgers…'meat circles.'" (Walks out of the shadows and is seen to have crazy hair similar to the PuttPutt trolls)
"Great entrance Clay," John Dory said, excited that Clay had finally arrived on-screen.
"Wait, I just realized something. Clay, did you change your hair to match the PuttPutt trolls?" Floyd asked his brother.
"Yep! As you guys might have seen when Bruce said 'burger,' the PuttPutt trolls ran to hide and used their hair to camouflage themselves to their surroundings. At the golf-course, you have to be ready for anything," Clay said, answering Floyd's question.
Branch: "Clay?"
Bruce: (Laughs for joy in seeing his favorite brother) "Clay! Hey, what's up, man?" (Bruce happily walks up to Clay and the two brothers happily reunite by doing their old handshake)
Clay: (Excited to see Bruce) "Hey! How you been, man?"
"Oh yeah, we still got it!" Clay said, him and Bruce happily doing their handshake, glad to see their excitement at seeing each other again on-screen.
"Aw, you guys are so close!" Viva said, happy to see Clay's reunion with Bruce went so well.
"Yeah, they've always been each other's favorites," Floyd said knowingly, Clay and Bruce smiling at each other at those words.
"And you and Branch are the closest," Bruce said, smiling at Floyd.
"We used to be…I'm not sure if that's still the case," Floyd sadly responded.
"Sure it is! You heard Branch at the beginning. He's literally on this mission for you!" Clay said, bringing a small smile to Floyd.
"Wow, it's nice to see where I stand in the family," John muttered, annoyed.
"John, you know we love you," Bruce said, pulling his oldest brother into a bear hug, which Clay and Floyd joined in on, causing the brothers to laugh happily.
John Dory: "Clay!"
Clay: (Gives his oldest brother a cold look) "Hmm. John."
"What?" John said, hurt by Clay's reaction toward him.
"Sorry John. Before coming here, let's just say I had a hard time forgiving you," Clay sadly admitted, causing John to frown. "But hey, I forgive you now," he added, walking over to John to give him another hug, bringing a happy-sad smile on John's face.
John Dory: (Hurt) "Wha…"
Clay: (Goes back to happily catching up with Bruce) "Spruce! What do you know?"
Bruce: "Actually, I go by Bruce now."
Clay: "Bruce. Oh. Someone got fancy. I like it!"
"Thanks Clay!" Bruce said, glad his brother was so accepting.
Bruce: (Chuckles) "Look who's talking. Is that a sweater romper?"
Clay: "What can I say? When you co-run a place, gotta flex the drip."
"I love you Clay," Bruce said, chuckling happily at Clay's and his interaction on-screen.
"Love you too, bro," Clay responded, giving Bruce a side-hug as they fist-bumped.
Viva: (Jumps up beside Clay) "Yeah, I'm the fun side of the operation, and Mr. Clay takes care of the boring stuff!"
Clay: "Guilty!" (Viva and Clay laugh together)
"You guys are super cute together," Floyd said, causing Clay and Viva to both blush.
Clay: (Spots Branch, the only brother who didn't go up to greet him) "Whoa! Baby Branch? No way!" (Runs up and hugs Branch then squeezes his face)
Branch: "Actually, it's Big Branch now. Or just Branch. Branch is fine."
Clay: (Baby talks to Branch) "Come here. Come here."
"Really? You're baby talking to him," Floyd asked Clay in exasperation. "Did all of you seriously have to reunite with Branch in this way; acting like he's still a baby?"
At Floyd's words, John cleared his throat and looked away, Bruce whistled and started fidgeting with his fingers, while Clay squeezed his lips together and began tapping his legs with his hands, as they were too embarrassed with themselves to respond or meet their younger brother's stern gaze.
Branch: (Gets out of his brother's grasp and introduces him to Poppy) "So, Clay, this is Poppy."
Poppy: "Hi, Clay! So great to finally meet you!" (Hugs Clay) "Can you do the Rusty Robot for me?" (As Poppy talks to Clay, Branch looks at her lovingly)
"Oh…um…" Clay said, feeling kind of awkward at Poppy's question.
Clay: (Awkwardly) "Yeah, no, I don't do that anymore, okay?"
"Really?" John asked Clay.
"Yeah. Since moving in with the PuttPutt trolls, I stopped doing dances like that," Clay said.
Poppy: (Embarrassed) "Right. Kidding. Ha! Can you imagine? I wouldn't ask you to do that after meeting you two seconds ago. Who would do that?" (Branch continues to look at her with admiration)
"Look at how Branch is looking at Poppy! He's so in love with her!" Bruce said, happy for his youngest brother.
Clay: "Yeah, it's just that Fun Boy Clay is dead. Serious Boy Clay only does the Well-Oiled-Robot…" (Does a Well-Oiled-Robot dance move) "...and it is no… [imitates DJ scratching] …fun."
"You know, you can be fun and serious at the same time," Viva told Clay, taking his hands in hers and looking into his eyes.
"Yeah, you're right. And I wished I had listened to you about that earlier," Clay responded, squeezing her hand lightly and smiling at her, thankful to have her in his life.
(Branch gives Clay a weird and confused look)
"Bro, look at the look Branch is giving you!" John said to Clay, laughing in amusement.
Poppy: "I mean, that's still pretty fun."
John Dory: "Ha yeah, same old Clay."
"No, that's not true!" Clay said, feeling slightly defensive.
"I know Clay, and I'm sorry I said that. You've grown and changed a lot," John Dory said, apologizing and smiling at Clay, who sighed softly.
"You haven't said it yet. And it's fine. Thanks John," Clay said, touched by his oldest brother's words.
Clay: "No. That's not true. If I was still fun, would I have chosen the admin building as my bedroom?" (Screen quickly pans to show the admin building and a crow caws)
"Uh…you sleep in there?" Floyd asked his brother, eyes widening in surprise and shock.
"How?" Bruce asked, hating how small it looked.
"Let's just say I may have gone a bit overboard in trying to get rid of my fun side," Clay said, beginning to regret his room decision.
Clay: "Huh? Huh? Asking the tough questions, guys. Asking the tough questions."
Poppy: "Oh, right."
Clay: "Anyway, I can't believe you all are here. Wait, where's Floyd?"
Branch: "That's why we're here. Floyd's been taken prisoner in Mount Rageous by superstar singers Velvet and Veneer…"
John Dory, Bruce, Branch & Poppy: "And the only thing powerful enough to free him is the perfect family harmony!"
"Wow, you guys really got that down," Floyd quietly said, his older brothers all looking over at him to reassure themselves that Floyd was there with them and safe.
Tiny Diamond: "Okay, either they just made that up, or I have not been paying attention."
Clay: "Well, why haven't you just called the authorities? [sarcastically] Oh, unless Floyd is being held in an impenetrable diamond prison!"
"How'd you guess that?" Bruce asked Clay, looking surprised while Clay could only respond with a shrug.
John Dory: "Yeah. That."
Clay: "I'm in."
"Yes!" John and Bruce said.
"What? You guys doubted I would?" Clay asked his older brothers in a teasing way.
"Nah, I knew you'd join. That just took very little convincing and explaining," John said.
"I would never say no if it meant putting or keeping you guys in danger. Brothers look out for each other," Clay responded, the brothers all smiling at each other.
Clay: "I'd also like to volunteer to keep track of our expenses. Just 'cause I think you're gonna need somebody to be on top of that."
"Be our guest," Bruce said, readily agreeing to Clay's offer.
Bruce: "Yeah, I don't think you'll get any pushback on that front."
"I hate dealing with expenses," Bruce muttered.
Branch: "Great, but we need to leave for Mount Rageous, like, now."
Viva: "You can't leave now, you just got here! Come on, let me show you around!" (Grabs Poppy and pulls her away from the guys. Poppy's hug time bracelet then goes off) "Hug time!" (Viva hugs Poppy)
"Oh, I wish Poppy were here!" Viva said, wanting to give her sister a hug in-person and not just see it on-screen.
(As Viva and Poppy hug, John holds his arms open to his brothers)
Spruce: "Uh…"
Clay: "Yeah, no." (Crosses his arms, shakes his head 'no,' and turns away from John)
(Branch doesn't say anything but gives John a weird look and leans away from him. At his brother's rejection, John frowns and lowers his arms)
"Sorry John," Clay and Bruce said, sending apologetic looks at John and wishing their reunion with their older brother went better.
"It's fine. Besides, I don't blame you guys. I would act the same way if I was in your place. I know how controlling I was back then," John said, looking at his younger brothers apologetically.
Viva: (Looks at Poppy's hug time bracelet) "Aw, so cute. Where'd you get that hug time bracelet?"
"Hey, that looks like my old hug time bracelet," Viva said in recognition.
Poppy: "My dad gave it to me." (The brothers approach Poppy and Viva curiously)
Viva: "Okay, this is so totally random, but I used to have one just like it. Can I see that?"
Poppy: (Takes off her hug time bracelet and puts it on Viva's wrist) "Wow. It fits you perfectly."
Viva: "Yeah." (Curiously and hesitantly she runs her finger over the flower on the bracelet, causing it to shimmer)
At this Viva gasped. "That is my old bracelet! And-and I'm about to figure out Poppy's my sister! Oh, I hope she accepts and likes me…" Viva said, excitement coursing through her while the brothers looked expectantly up at the screen, all of them anticipating the sisters reunion.
Poppy: "Whoa."
Viva: (Looks up at Poppy) "I'm sorry. What did you say your name was again?"
Poppy: "I'm Poppy." (Holds her hand out to Viva)
Viva: "Poppy?" (Gets closer to Poppy and looks closely at her, moving some of Poppy's hair out of her face. Branch, Bruce and John Dory exchange puzzled looks at Viva's behavior) "Okay, um, another totally random, weird question, but is your dad King Peppy?"
Poppy: (Nervously) "Uh, yeah?"
Viva: "You're…Oh, you're-you're alive!" (Picks Poppy up in a hug and spins her around)
Poppy: (Confused) "I'm alive!"
Viva: (Puts Poppy down) "This is unbelievable! I never thought I'd see you again!"
Poppy: "Again?"
Viva: "Poppy, it's me, Viva!"
Poppy: "Uh…"
"I wish dad had told her about me," Viva said, still hurt by her father keeping her a secret from Poppy.
Viva: "I'm your sister!" (The BroZone brothers gasp in shock)
Poppy: (Shocked) "My-My what?!"
Viva: "Your sister. Your hermana!"
Branch: "Whoa." (Looks over at John Dory and the give each other the same surprised look)
Tiny Diamond: "Hey, man. Am I the only one without a long lost sibling?"
"He's got a point, haha. I mean, in the past two movies Cooper found out he had a long lost twin brother, Branch reveals he has four older brothers, and Poppy discovers she has an older sister," John chuckled, finding the conscience cool.
"Family's awesome," Bruce said, giving Clay and Floyd another side-hug while Floyd pulled John in one as well.
Poppy: (Grabs Viva's face) "What do you mean we're sisters? H-How could I have not known about you? I can't believe Dad didn't tell me I have a sister!"
"Oh, I'm literally so happy right now!" Viva squealed, overjoyed that she was finally seeing her reunion with Poppy on-screen and that it was going well.
Poppy: "That is-"
Poppy & Viva: "-so Dad!" (Both laugh)
"Ahh! We even think alike and finish each other's sentences!" Viva said, giving the scene her full attention.
Poppy: (Excited) "Oh! I ca-I can't believe this! I've always dreamt of having a sister! I was just saying this! Wasn't I just saying this? This means we can plan each other's birthday parties!"
Viva: "Yeah yeah yeah! And weddings!"
"Ooh! I can help plan Poppy's and Branch's wedding!" Viva squealed, the brothers looking happily at each other at those words. They might be a part of Branch's wedding after all…
Poppy: "Yes! My best friend had her wedding, and it went off without a hitch. I was the best maid of honor."
Viva: "You'd be the best maid of honor!"
Poppy: (Gasps) "You and Bridget are gonna love each other!"
Viva: "Oh my gosh, I'm gonna love her! I love what you love!"
Poppy: "Yes!"
"Ahhh! I love Poppy!" Viva said, too excited to hold still.
"Your reunion with her was awesome!" Clay said, happy for Viva.
"I know right! It was so fantastamazing!" Viva responded.
Viva: "Yes! Kaleidoscopic. I'm seeing different when I look at you!"
Viva & Poppy: "Everything's looking bright!" (The sisters start dancing together around the golf course)
"Oh, I've dreamt of this moment for years! Of me singing and dancing with Poppy," Viva said, smiling widely at the scene while tears of joy formed in her eyes.
Viva: "No, I can't stop it now. I'm getting swept up in a feel-good mood!"
Viva & Poppy: "Feeling I can't deny!"
Poppy: "Now that you're with me I can finally see colors that were up in my mind, didn't know I was blind."
Viva: "Now that I'm with you, sparks are flying loose, fireworks go off in my brain!"
Viva & Poppy: "And I'll never be the same!" (Poppy shows Viva her scrapbook in Viva's room) "I didn't know until I found you, having the time of our lives it takes two! When I look up the stars are brighter, now I know everything's better with you! Ooh!"
"You guys are already so close," Clay said, happy for Viva and Poppy.
"Yeah, we really are," Viva said, loving the bonding moment she was having with her sister.
Brothers: (Clay dances to the beat with Branch copying his dance moves until John and Bruce pull them both in for a group hug) "Now. Now that, now that we got it all together, now we're together, we got it all!"
"Did you guys see that Branch was copying your dance moves?" Floyd pointed out to Clay and John, smiling at his brother's reunion and as they bonded.
"Yeah! Huh, I guess he still looks up to us," Clay said, glad to see him singing and getting along with his brothers on-screen.
"Branch is adorable," Viva commented, loving the brother's moment together.
Brothers: (Branch shows his brothers a plan he made for rescuing Floyd, but John pushes Branch aside to look over it. Clay then pulls the brothers away from the paper) "Now. Now that, now that we got it all together, now we're together, we got it all!" (Clay fistbumps John and high-fives Branch as the brothers dance together)
"It's so nice to see us all there together!" John said, loving the moment with his brothers.
"Now, we just need to save Floyd," Bruce added, John and Clay nodding in agreement, determined to save their younger brother.
Viva & Poppy: (As Viva and Poppy dance, the brothers dance behind them with each other to the beat) "You've got me feeling right, feeling right, feeling like good vibes are at my door. Every day, every night, ooh! I didn't know until I found you, having the time of our lives it takes two." (The sisters take silly pictures of each other with Poppy's camera, then laugh) "It takes me…and you!" (Viva and Poppy sit together and look out at the stars)
"Oh! I loved that!" Viva squealed, loving the song she sang on-screen with her little sister.
"Yeah, that was great!" Clay added, also enjoying the scene.
(Scene changes to show Poppy and Viva laughing together in Viva's room, sitting on her couch)
Poppy: "So I was thinking about getting more into, like, reading short stories and essays instead of full novels."
"Ooh, I love that for her," Viva said in agreement with Poppy.
Viva: "Ooh, I love that for you."
Poppy: "Yeah. But, um just to circle back real quick…" (Viva gets off the couch and climbs up a ladder to reach a shelf full of candy) "I still have a million questions about what happened."
At this Viva's smile slowly faded as she was reminded of her past and how she got separated from her family in the first place.
"Viva, you okay?" Bruce asked, noticing Viva's change in attitude.
"It's-it's just a hard topic for me," Viva said, Clay putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.
Viva: "I used to live at the Troll Tree. I was there when you were born. And you were so cute. Kinda like you are now, only teensier and weensier and [gasps] Do you wanna make candy necklaces that we never finish because we eat all the candy?"
"Changing the topic won't prevent Poppy from asking you these questions," Clay told Viva.
"I know…" Viva said, knowing that she didn't want to talk about it, even if it was to Poppy. It was hard enough telling Clay when she did.
Poppy: (Jumps off the couch in excitement) "Obviously! But, Veev, I'm just gonna need you to focus here and-and tell me everything. Why am I only learning about you now? What happened?"
Viva: (In robot voice) "We got accidentally separated. [normal voice] And I've lived here ever since. The end. Wanna do candy toe rings next?"
Bowing her head in sadness, Viva tried to push out the memories of her past but it seemed as if they kept popping into her mind, not allowing her to escape.
Poppy: "Uh, accidentally separated?"
(Scene momentarily changes to show Clay outside talking to his brothers)
Clay: "Viva doesn't like to talk about it. It's too painful for her. But she's been here ever since the night of the great Bergen attack."
"I hope you don't mind me telling my brother's Viva," Clay said, worried that she would get mad as he was telling others about her past without her permission.
"It's fine," Viva said, still looking down in sadness. "It's probably better for you to explain it anyway."
(Scene goes back to Poppy and Viva, the latter who's humming and stringing candy together to make a necklace)
Poppy: "Viva, are you talking about the night the trolls escaped Bergen Town?"
Viva: (Stops humming) "Oh, yeah. Yeah, I guess it was that night." (Starts humming again)
(Scene goes back to Clay and his brothers)
Clay: "Not everyone made it out of that tree." (Flashback starts to the night the trolls escaped) "Some of them got trapped by Bergens. They were this close to getting eaten, until Viva and some of the other trolls fought them off. But by then…" (Flashback ends) "the tunnels had collapsed, and they were cut off from the rest."
"Oh no," Floyd gasped, covering his mouth in horror.
"Viva, I'm so sorry," Bruce said, looking sadly at Viva who had her eyes tightly shut, refusing to look at the screen.
"You have nothing to apologize for…" she softly said, still not looking up.
"That was really brave of you Viva. You should be proud of yourself for saving all those trolls," John said, trying to comfort her.
"I'm not so sure," Viva quietly said, still not convinced.
"Viva, look at me," Clay said, and at his words Viva lifted her head to meet his gaze with sad and regretful eyes. "I know you blame yourself for being separated from the others, but don't. It's the Bergens to blame as they made the tunnels collapse. You did what was right and saved your people." At his words Viva gave him a small and grateful smile before he pulled her in for a hug.
(Scene changes to show King Peppy outside in Bergen Town, talking to someone)
King Peppy: "I kept screaming, 'No troll left behind!' But when I went back in, the tunnels had collapsed. That's when I found Viva's hug time bracelet."
"Oh, dad…" Viva said, pulling away from Clay and putting a hand over her heart at her father's words.
(Scene goes back to Clay and his brothers)
Clay: "Viva found this old, abandoned Bergen golf course and transformed it into this troll utopia. We formed this little sanctuary of survivors. I added fire exits. She added her heart and soul."
"You guys did a great job at protecting the PuttPutt trolls," John told Clay and Viva, smiling at them.
(Scene goes back to Viva and Poppy)
Viva: (Continues making the candy necklace) "I've thought so many times about leaving, you know, to look for you and Dad, but it's not safe out there."
"I should have though. If I had just gone out there to look for them I would have learned that it's not as dangerous as I feared," Viva said, ashamed of herself for not going out to search for her family.
(Scene shows King Peppy again)
King Peppy: "I know I should've told Poppy, but my heart was broken. I felt like a failure. Not just as a king, but as a father. I feel so guilty."
"No, don't say that dad," Viva said, tears falling down her face at her father's words. She had no idea he felt that way. He didn't even know she was still alive…that's why he hadn't told Poppy. What good would it do to tell your only living daughter that she used to have an older sister who's now dead. Viva knew that by him telling Poppy it would have broken her heart as well, so by not saying anything at all, her dad was keeping Poppy from mourning someone she never knew.
"It's probably a good thing your dad didn't tell Poppy, because if he did, Poppy probably would have gone out to look for you," Floyd added to Viva's thoughts.
"My dad doesn't think I'm still alive," Viva sadly responded, looking at Floyd.
"Would that have stopped Poppy? If she had been told she had a sister, I would bet anything that she would have searched for you until she found you," Clay told Viva, who once again looked away in guilt.
"That's another thing, I knew they were out there still. Well, at least I guessed I didn't know if they were alive or not but I hoped they were. The point is, I could have gone out to look for them, and I would have found them," Viva said, ashamed of herself.
"You were the leader of the PuttPutt trolls. As heir to King Peppy, you were basically the Queen to those trolls. Don't feel bad for not going out, because you also had a purpose there," Bruce told her.
King Peppy: "What do you think I should do?" (Looks to Mr. Dinkles for advice)
"Huh? He's telling this to a worm?" John Dory asked, confused.
Mr. Dinkles: "I'm afraid that's our time for today."
King Peppy: "But I just revealed a major trauma."
(Mr. Dinkles squeaks, causing King Peppy to look at the worm in shock)
(Scene goes back to Viva and Poppy)
Poppy: "Okay. Obviously this is a lot, and you should be able to open up about this on your own time."
"Thanks Poppy," Viva said, grateful her sister wasn't pushing the topic.
Poppy: "But we'll have plenty of time to work through this on the way to Mount Rageous."
Viva: (Finishes the candy necklace and puts it on Poppy) "Whoa! I am not going to Mount Rageous. And neither are you, silly. You're never gonna leave again." (Puts her cape on and walks out of her room)
"Wait, I'm not joining you guys!" Viva gasped, shocked at her words on-screen.
"I don't think Poppy's going to like what you said about her 'never leaving,'" Bruce said, knowing there was no way Poppy would leave Branch alone on this mission.
Poppy: (Calls after her but receives no response) "Wait, what was the-What was that last thing?"
(Clay is seen making a plan with his brothers, a bag of provisions at his feet)
Clay: "Okay, guys, if we're gonna save Floyd, we need to get going."
"Yes, about time!" Clay said, glad they were finally back on track and focusing on the mission.
Branch: "I'll go get Poppy." (Walks off in the direction toward Poppy but is then stopped by Clay)
Clay: "No, no, no, wait. Hold on. There's no way Viva's gonna let her go."
"Wait, you knew I wouldn't let her leave?" Viva asked Clay, a little surprised.
"I can understand why you'd want her to stay. I mean, you just found and reunited with her after all these years. You're just…being protective," Clay said.
Branch: "What? W-What are you talking about?"
Clay: "Like I said, she's got some stuff going on, man. If we don't wanna get trapped, we should sneak out now."
(Suddenly, lights fall on the brothers and a PuttPutt troll closes the door, blocking the brothers escape. Viva then approaches them, followed by PuttPutt trolls behind her)
"Wait, why am I trapping you guys in?" Viva said, shocked by her actions on-screen.
"No! We have to leave to save Floyd!" John exclaimed, worried for his younger brother.
Clay: "Oh, hey… [chuckles] …Viva. What's up, girl?"
Poppy: (Joins Branch and his brothers) "Viva! What are you doing?"
Viva: "You're not leaving here. No matter what, because-because it's just not safe out there. You're welcome." (Folds her arms)
"What am I doing?" Viva asked in confusion and shock.
"You're just trying to protect your sister," Clay told her.
"But I shouldn't trap her or you guys. And for that I'm sorry," Viva said, apologizing to the brothers.
"Don't apologize for something you haven't done yet," Bruce responded, smiling at her while also hoping they'd be able to leave to save Floyd.
Poppy: "Wait, is this about the Bergens? Because they stopped trying to eat us, that's all in the past!"
Viva: (Rolls her eyes and speaks sarcastically) "Yeah, right. That's hilarious, Poppy. I'm laughing really hard."
"I'm not even listening to her. I mean, why would Poppy just make that up?" Viva said to herself, still trying to process what she was doing on-screen.
Poppy: "I'm serious, Viva. Bridget, my best friend I was telling you about, she's a Bergen! Look." (Takes out her scrapbook and shows it to Viva, opening it up to where it shows her and Bridget) "Bridget and I do a million fun things together. We talk and we play games and we sing songs and make up these really bad dances. It's a lot like, well, actually, it's a lot like what you and I have been doing. The world's a lot different than it used to be." (Gives Viva her scrapbook to look at)
"The world is a lot different than it used to be, and all thanks to Branch and Poppy," Floyd said, agreeing with Poppy and proud of his brother.
Branch: "Viva, look, I used to be just like you. I built a bunker, and I lived in it for years because I knew it was safe. And, sure, i-it kept me alive."
At Branch's words the brothers all shared sad and ashamed looks with each other, once again feeling guilty for walking out on Branch and leaving him to grow up alone and isolated from others.
Branch: "And I never had to wear pants." (John and Bruce look at each other) "But I was living…without pants. Does that make sense?"
At these words the brother's sad and guilty expressions got quickly replaced with confused looks, John Dory even snorting in amusement.
Tiny Diamond: "Well, I feel judged."
Viva: (Closes Poppy's scrapbook) "You don't understand. I just got my sister back. I'm not gonna lose you. For anything." (The gate then opens and Viva looks up to see that Clay is the one who opened it) "Clay?"
"Sorry for going behind your back, Viva. But I can't lose my brother," Clay told her, who nodded her head in acknowledgement and acceptance toward his actions on-screen.
Clay: "I'm sorry, Viva, but we have to leave. I don't wanna lose my brother either." (John and Bruce smile up at him)
At Clay's words John, Bruce, and Floyd all smiled warmly at him.
"I'm really grateful to have you guys as my brothers," Floyd said, touched that they were so willing and ready to save him.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Clay responded, the brothers forming another group hug.
Clay: "Let's move!" (The brothers run outside, Branch brushing Poppy's arm and nodding his head for her to come with them, which she does)
Viva: "No. No, Poppy, wait!" (Chases after Poppy but once she realizes she left the boundaries of the golf course she gasps in fear and goes back to the entrance of the golf course) "Poppy, please! I want you to stay!"
Poppy: (Stopping at her sister's words, Poppy turns to face Viva) "Viva, I can't do that." (John, Bruce and Clay enter Rhonda while Branch waits for Poppy at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the door to Rhonda) "But you can come with us. And I know you think it's risky, and maybe it is, but it'll be worth it. Family's always worth it." (Holds her hand out for Viva to take)
"I'm glad Poppy's not leaving Branch," Floyd said, grateful to see how loyal Poppy was to him that she was willing to separate with Viva just to stay with him.
"Oh, I hope I go with her," Viva said, fearing she wouldn't.
Viva: "No, no, no, I…I can't." (Gives Poppy back her scrapbook and the gate closes in between the two sisters)
At this Viva gasped in shock. "I can't believe I did that. I-I refused to go with her after finally reuniting with her. I'm an awful sister," Viva said, tears forming in her eyes once more.
"No, you're not. You're only trying to do what you think is best for Poppy. And this hasn't happened yet. You can change this," Clay told her, wiping away her tears.
(Sadly, Poppy places her scrapbook leaning against the gate. Branch then comes up behind her and places a comforting hand on her shoulder, Poppy smiling at him in thanks. Poppy looks once more at the closed gate, then she and Branch turn and head toward Rhonda)
"I'm so sorry Poppy," Viva whispered, ashamed of herself and her actions on-screen.
'I'm really glad Poppy and Branch have each other,' Bruce thought to himself, glad to see how supportive they were of one another.
