(Bergens march toward the palace, chanting 'Trollstice' as they find seats in the dining hall for the feast)

Bergens: "Trollstice! Trollstice! Trollstice!"

Seeing the Bergens enthusiasm for Trollstice caused the brothers and Viva to be put on edge, but no one had the heart to comment. They were nervous and disgusted enough as it was.

(King Gristle waits outside the castle doors, holding Bridget's roller skate and looking over the crowd trying to spot her)

(Scene change - down in the kitchens)

Chef: "Now let's prepare the main course. The Trolls!" (All the Bergen chefs open their fanny packs and empty all the trolls into the provided pot. When all the trolls are in, Chef laughs wickedly and shuts the lid and locks them in, plunging the trolls into darkness)

"I don't think I can watch this…" Floyd whispered, scrunching his eyes shut. He hated, absolutely hated, the fact that his brother was about to be served as a meal, and was disgusted by how the Bergens were treating the trolls as food. They were living creatures, with a body and spirit, not something to be eaten and handled as food! Next to him he could hear John breathing heavily and knew that Bruce was shaking in anger while Clay tried to comfort a panicking Viva even though he was on the verge of panicking as well.

King Peppy: "Poppy? Poppy! Oh, thank goodness you're all right." (Runs over to Poppy and hugs her, but she doesn't return the hug or the joy in seeing him)

Poppy: (Pulls away from the hug) "I'm doing great. I got everybody I love thrown in a pot, thanks for asking."

(Branch sadly looks at Poppy, realizing that she wasn't being positive)

"Was she just…sarcastic?" Clay asked, the trolls surprised by Poppy's behavior. Trolls were never sarcastic…well, unless they were gray…

Biggie: "Poppy? Are you being...sarcastic?"

Poppy: "Yes!"

(All the trolls gasp)

Smidge: "Oh my gosh!"

Poppy: "I'm sorry. I don't know why I thought I could save you. All I wanted to do was keep everyone safe, like you did, Dad. But I couldn't." (Begins crying)

"No, don't say that…" Viva whispered in sorrow at her sister's words.

"She shouldn't blame herself. If it wasn't for Creek, the other trolls would never have been found or captured," Clay sadly said, doing his best to comfort Viva even though he felt just as sad and hopeless as she did.

King Peppy: "Poppy."

Poppy: "I let everyone down." (Kneels on the ground, hanging her head in shame)

Branch: "But, Poppy…"

Poppy: "You were right, Branch. The world isn't all cupcakes and rainbows." (At these words, Poppy's color began to fade, her hair and body slowly turning gray)

"Oh no, Poppy…" Viva said, tears forming in her eyes. Throughout the whole movie Poppy had been nothing but positive and full of hope, but now she seemed almost unrecognizable.

"No, no no no she can't give up hope now…" Floyd said, his heart breaking at the sight.

John, Bruce and Clay didn't know what to say. They had grown to really like Poppy and appreciated her for accepting Branch and giving him a chance to be happy. Seeing her lose hope and her color as well, it was as if they were watching a really close friend who had just given up on everything.

Biggie: "Poppy…"

(At Poppy's defeat, Branch watched as every troll hung their head down in sorrow and began to turn gray. Soon, there was no color in the pot, just darkness and gray trolls)

"No…" Viva whispered, tears spilling down her face as she closed her eyes and bowed her head in sorrow.

"Viva?" Clay gasped, putting his hand on her shoulder. He'd never seen her so defeated before.

"It's all my fault this happened. When I'd escaped, I should have gone looking for them. I should have brought them to safety. I wasn't there for Poppy or the other trolls to protect them…" with those words the brothers gasped as Viva slowly began to turn gray.

"No, no Viva, not you too. Don't say that," Clay said, hating to see her so devastated. Looking up at the screen where his brother now blended in with the other gray trolls he too couldn't help but feel remorse and guilt wash over him. Closing his eyes and bowing his head in shame, his hand still on Viva's shoulder, his color too began to fade.

"Clay…" Bruce whispered, hating to see his brother so sad. One by one, Bruce, John Dory, and Floyd also bowed their heads in sorrow, tears leaking down their faces, and soon the room was occupied only by gray trolls.

(Scene changes to Bridget cleaning the dishes, seeing her reflection, and sadly glancing at her jumpsuit and single roller skate laid on her bed)

(Scene changes to King Gristle, sitting sadly at the head of the table, the single roller skate beside him, watching the door for hope that she might arrive)

(Scene changes to the trolls back in the pot, and Branch can't stop staring sadly at Poppy)

Branch: "You with the sad eyes."

(At his voice, many trolls looked up in confusion as to who was singing)

Taken by surprise, the trolls slowly looked up at the screen, wondering who had sung.

Branch: "Don't be discouraged."

Realizing it was Branch who was singing, the brothers looked at one another in confusion and surprise, their eyes still reflecting the sorrow they all felt.

Branch: (Slowly approaches Poppy and kneels down next to her) "Oh, I realize, it's hard to take courage, in a world full of people. You can lose sight of it all, the darkness inside you can make you feel so small."

At Branch's words the brothers all looked down in reflection. It was true, this feeling of hopelessness and despair they now felt made them feel so alone and small. It was hard to think of anything else that mattered as they were consumed in their grief.

(Poppy's hug time bracelet goes off, causing Branch to extend his arms open to Poppy for a hug. Poppy looks at Branch, then sadly turns away while covering her bracelets light with her hand. Lowering his hands, Branch gazes sadly at Poppy as the other hug time bracelets go off one by one, no troll moving to hug anyone)

(Bridget sadly listens to the chiming of the hug time bracelets from outside the pot)

Chef: "What are you doing? The king is waiting. Get those Trolls out there!"

Bridget: (Startled, she moved her head away from the pot) "Sorry, Chef." (Begins pushing the pot toward the dining hall)

Chef: "Oh, you are sorry."

(Back in the pot)

Branch: "Show me a smile then…" (Takes Poppy by the hands and brings her to her feet) "Don't be unhappy, can't remember when…" (Poppy takes her hands away and takes a few steps away from Branch) "I last saw you laughing…This world makes you crazy…" (Branch goofily slides toward Poppy, making her smile)

Seeing Branch singing and trying to make Poppy smile brought a small smile to the brother's. Slowly, they began to feel comforted by Branch's words, and hearing him sing so beautifully and sincerely planted a seed of hope in the brothers' hearts.

Branch: "And when you've taken all you can bear, just, call me up, 'cause I will always be there." (Poppy's color comes back) "And I see your true colors shining through."

"Poppy!" Viva said, now smiling and crying in joy.

"Viva…" Clay whispered.

Looking over at Clay, Viva noticed that he wasn't meeting her eyes but instead looking down. Following his gaze, she noticed that her vibrant pink color, the same shade as Poppy's, had begun to return to her. Laughing in joy, she looked up and met Clay's gaze, exchanging a look of wonder and joy.

Branch: "I see your true colors, and that's why I love you."

At Branch's words, Viva and the brothers gasped and directed their gazes at the screen. Branch…loved Poppy? At this thought a small smile formed on the brothers faces. Their brother deserved to be happy and to have love in his life.

Poppy: (At his words, joy fills Poppy and she smiles warmly at him) "So don't be afraid…"

Branch & Poppy: (Poppy holds her hand out to Branch, which he takes. At the contact, Branch begins to get his colors back) "To let them show. Your true colors…true colors are beautiful."

"Branch! Yes!" The brothers cheered in joy. Looking at each other, they noticed that their colors were returning as well. Laughing in happiness, the brothers embraced one another, Viva laughing in joy to the side, watching the brothers celebrate.

"He did it! He got his colors back!" John Dory cheered, hugging Bruce, who just kept laughing and smiling.

(With their true colors back, Branch and Poppy begin dancing, the trolls they pass regaining their true color as well)

Branch: "I see your true colors shining through…" (Poppy: "True colors…") Branch: "I see your true colors…"

Branch & Poppy: "That's why I love you."

"All the trolls are getting their colors back!" Floyd exclaimed, still smiling in joy as he watched his younger brother dance with Poppy, their colors lighting everyone up.

"And Branch finally came to realize his feelings for Poppy!" Bruce added, thumping John Dory on the back in excitement.

"Oh, I'm so happy right now!" Viva squealed, holding onto Clay's arms as they had just embraced.

"I know right!" Clay said, smiling warmly at her.

Looking into his eyes, Viva felt her heart leap in more than just excitement. Without realizing what she was doing, she leaned over and kissed Clay on the cheek. Pulling back, she saw Clay blush and put a hand on his cheek where she had kissed him in shock. Smiling nervously, she waited for him to say something, but was taken by surprise when he instead pulled her close and kissed her on the lips, his brothers whooping and wolf whistling behind them.

Branch & Poppy: "So don't be afraid, to let them show."

Branch: "Your true colors…"

Poppy: "True colors-"

Branch & Poppy: "Are beautiful."

Branch: "Like a rainbow."

Poppy: "Oh, oh, oh...like a rainbow."

(Cooper begins playing his harmonica, as all the trolls gather together, everyone having their colors back. Branch and Poppy hug, with all the other trolls hugging someone as well)

As the trolls on screen hugged, so did the brothers and Viva, all of them forming a small group hug. When the hug ended, John Dory was the first to speak.

"Oh man! I can't believe it! Branch is back! Our Branch!" he exclaimed, unable to stand still in excitement.

"I know! Not to mention he brought all their colors back too!" Floyd added in joy.

"And ours! I'm glad Branch is no longer gray. That was the worst feeling ever," Bruce said, shuddering. "I can't even imagine living like that for twenty years."

"Let's not talk about that now though. Did you guys hear his voice!" Clay said, holding Viva's hand.

"It was so fantastamazing!" Viva said, smiling widely. "He really does have the voice of an angel."

"His voice is really incredible," John Dory said, agreeing strongly with Viva.

"And his colors are as vibrant as I remember them to be!" Floyd said in joy.

Poppy: "Thank you!"

Branch: "No. Thank you."

Poppy: "For what?"

Branch: "For showing me how to be…happy."

"Yes!" Viva and the brothers cheered, still overjoyed to finally see Branch with his colors.

Poppy: "Really? You're finally happy? Now?"

"Come to think of it, it is kind of a weird time for Branch to get his colors back," John Dory said, reminding everyone of the troll's current situation.

"Oh right, I forgot about that…" Clay said, feeling slightly guilty that he did indeed forget the dangerous situation his brother was still in.

Branch: "I think so. Happiness is inside of all of us, right? Sometimes, you just need someone to help you find it." (Poppy smiles at him)

"Aww, they really are perfect for each other," Viva said, looking over at Clay who smiled his goofy smile at her she adored.

Young Troll: "What's gonna happen now, Princess Poppy?"

Poppy: "I don't know. But I know we're not giving up." (Turns around to look at Branch, smiling at him who smiles back)

(The pot shakes and a loud noise echos in the pot, as the trolls hear the lid being unlocked)

"Oh no!" Viva and the brothers gasped, their previous fear and nervousness returning.

Guy Diamond: "No."

Biggie: "This is it, Mr. Dinkles. This is it."

(The trolls all gather close together and watch terrified as the lid opens. But instead of seeing Chef or King Gristle, Bridget is seen looking sadly and worriedly down on them)

"It's Bridget?!" John Dory exclaimed, both in shock and relief.

"Do you think she'll help them?" Bruce asked hopefully.

"Let us hope so…" Floyd said, watching the screen with bated breath.

Bridget: "Poppy!"

Poppy: "Bridget?"

Bergens in Background: "Trolls! Trolls! Trolls!"

(Bridget reaches her hand inside, allowing Poppy to climb on)

Poppy: "What are you doing?"

Bridget: "I can't let them eat you."

Poppy: "But…"

Bridget: "Come on!" (Tips the pot to its side, allowing the trolls to escape) "You gotta go! Hurry! Go, go, go! Get out of here!" (Sets Poppy down on the ground, as the other trolls begin to make their way toward the Troll Tree to escape)

"Yes!" Viva and the brothers shouted in relief and joy. Their siblings and the other trolls were saved.

"I never thought I'd see a Bergen freeing trolls, especially on Trollstice" Viva said in wonder. She was really beginning to like Bridget.

Poppy: "No! Bridget, if you go in there without us, you know what they'll do."

"Oh no, she's right," Floyd gasped, worried for the Bergen.

Bridget: "I know." (Stands between the door frame of the dinning hall, about to go in)

Poppy: "But, Bridget…"

Bridget: "It's okay." (Kneels down beside Poppy) "It's okay, Poppy. You showed me what it feels like to be happy. I never would have known if it wasn't for you. And I love you for that."

"Woah" Viva and the brothers gasped, looking at each other in amazement.

Poppy: "I love you too, Bridget."

Chef: "Bridget!"

Bridget: (Stands up and runs back to the door and begins to shut it) "Go on, now. You have to hurry!"

Poppy: "Come with us."

Bridget: "And make it easier for them to find you? No way! You have to go. Now!"

Poppy: "Bridget!" (Stops Bridget from closing the door)

Bridget: (Gently pushes Poppy away with her finger, which Poppy hugs) "Bye, Poppy." (Closes the door)

"I can't believe Bridget sacrificed everything, just for Poppy," Viva said in shock, grateful to the Bergen while also worried about what would happen to her.

(Inside the dining room, where Bridget pushes the, now empty, pot toward the King)

Bergens: (Chanting) "Trolls! Trolls! Trolls!"

King Gristle: "Wait! Chef, shouldn't we wait for Lady Glittersparkles?" (At his words Bridget looks at him worriedly)

"He really does care about her," Bruce said in wonder, referring to the King's feelings toward 'Lady Glittersparkles' (aka Bridget).

Chef: "Oh, you are absolutely right." (Address the Bergen's) "Now, everyone, there will be no Trolls until the king's plus one has arrived."

Bergens: "Boo!" (Bridget looks down sadly)

"Poor Bridget…" Clay softly said, also worried for her.

Bergen: "We've waited long enough!"

Chef: "Unless…"

King Gristle: "Unless, what?"

Chef: "Well, unless she doesn't come at all. But that's crazy talk. Who wouldn't wanna be with you?"

King Gristle: "Yeah. Maybe we should start."

Bergens: "Trolls! Trolls! Trolls!"

Trolls: (As they escape through the tunnels) "Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls!"

Cooper: "Yeah!"

Biggie: "Whoo-hoo!"

"Yes, get out of there!" John Dory said, cheering the trolls on along with his brothers and Viva.

(Troll Tree, entrance to the tunnels)

Poppy: (Her and Branch are seen directing the trolls into the tunnels) "Go! Come on. Hurry! Come on. Everybody, let's go. No Troll left behind!"

"Of course Branch would stay behind with her to make sure the other trolls made it out safely," Floyd said, proud of his brother.

"You know, now I have to get used to seeing Branch with his colors again," John Dory said in amusement, causing his brothers to chuckle at his words.

Branch: "Watch your step." (Sees Poppy walking away from the tunnel and staring at the castle) "Poppy?"

Poppy: "Bridget just ruined her life to save ours. It's not right! She deserves to be happy as much as we do. They all do!"

"Uh, what?" John Dory asked.

"I sense another 'Poppy plan'" Bruce said.

"Oh no, they're going back aren't they?" Floyd said in realization.

"What? Why? They just escaped!" Viva exclaimed, not wanting Poppy to go back.

"You're right, they did. But from what we've seen of your sister, she won't leave an opportunity to help someone, even if it is the enemy," Floyd told her.

"Let's just hope they don't get caught…" Clay said, hoping his brother would stay safe while also knowing he would get in harm's way if it meant protecting Poppy, which worried him while at the same time causing him to feel proud of his youngest brother.

Author's Note: Happy Valentine's Day! I was so excited when I realized this chapter fell on Valentine's Day, so while I wasn't planning on it, I decided to have a Viva and Clay moment. I hope you enjoyed this chapter (as well as the others) as much as I enjoy writing them and remember to let your true colors shine! (Sorry, that might've been a little cheesy :)) Oh, also, I didn't have the brothers commenting a whole lot when Branch first started singing because since they lost their colors I wanted them to act like the trolls on-screen, as they had also never heard (adult) Branch sing before and were equally surprised. They were just so consumed with grief and sorrow that they didn't know what to say. If that makes sense.
