(Poppy's friends go looking for Poppy outside in the dark. Mr. Dinkles is used as a light)
Biggie: "Poppy! Poppy!"
"Oh no, she's missing!" Viva gasped, worried for her sister and hating the thought of her being alone out in the dark.
"Don't worry Viv, she's probably not missing. I'm guessing she just wanted some alone time," Clay told her, placing a hand on her shoulder in comfort.
Chenille: "Poppy!"
Satin: "Poppy, where are you?"
Biggie: "Oh, can you see her, Mr. Dinkles?"
Chenille: "Where is she?"
Branch: (Up ahead, Branch sees a curtain of pink hair) "Hey, guys, give me a minute." (Approaches the pink hair) "Poppy, I know you're hiding in your hair."
(Instead of finding Poppy however, a forest creature jumps out and yells a warning to Branch, who jumps back frightened)
"Ah!" the brothers and Viva yelled in shock, startled.
Branch: "Ah, what the what?"
Cooper: "Not Poppy!"
Branch: (Apologizes to the creature) "Sorry. Wrong hair."
(Creature growls at him then goes back to sleep under their hair)
"I also thought that was Poppy," John Dory admitted, still slightly startled.
Branch: (Approaches a second curtain of pink hair, cautiously this time) "Uh... Poppy? Is that you?"
"I love how Branch is the one who went to comfort her," Bruce commented.
Poppy: (Draws her hair in, revealing herself to Branch and the others) "I totally blew it with Bridget. I-I mean we've never had a fight before and…I'm worried I just lost my best friend forever. Forever."
At those words the brothers all exchanged sad and guilty looks. It was, afterall, because of a fight why the brothers broke up the band and separated from each other in the first place, not speaking or keeping in touch with each other for the past twenty years.
Branch: (Sits down next to Poppy) "No, that's not possible."
Bruce looked down sadly. Of course Branch would know that wasn't the case with Poppy and Bridget. It seemed as if that was the first 'big' fight Poppy had ever had, and as Branch has seen and lived through worse fights than that, well, he would know that Poppy's and Bridget's friendship was still intact.
Poppy: "I don't know, Branch."
Branch: "Well, I do, because I'm your friend. And you know what?" (Stands up and starts beatboxing) "Friends! How many of us have them?"
"Hey, he's beatboxing! He used to do that all the time as a kid!" John Dory said, excited to see Branch hadn't changed in that aspect.
"Yeah, he did, haha. He's gotten pretty good," Bruce agreed, chuckling.
"What's he doing though? If he's trying to cheer her up I don't think that's the right way to do it," Floyd added.
"Yeah, it just looks like he's bothering Poppy more than comforting her," Clay said, agreeing with his younger brother.
"Maybe cheering others up is also new to him?" Viva guessed.
Poppy: (Gets annoyed at Branch's beatboxing) "Branch? Branch, please stop."
Branch: (Finishes with his beatboxing) "Friends!"
Poppy: "Thank you." (Walks away from him, while a mischievous smile goes on Branch's face)
Branch: "Thank you for being a friend! You know this one. Travel down a road and back again…"
"What is he doing?" John Dory asked.
"He's really bad at this comforting thing," Bruce noted.
Poppy: "Branch, what's your problem?"
Branch: "You just might have a problem, but I'll understand." (Poppy stares at him exasperated) "We all need somebody to lean on! Lean on me! When you're not strong! And I'll be your friend…"
"Hey! He used to do this to us as a kid! Remember? He loved singing so much that he would sing song after song, which would get on our nerves so much, but instead of stopping he'd start singing songs with lyrics that matched what we would be saying to him," John Dory said, laughing in remembrance.
"Oh! I know what he's doing! He's not trying to cheer her up. He's doing to her what she did to Bridget," Floyd said in realization.
"You're right! Probably because this is the only way for her to understand what she was doing, since she tends to listen to others best through song," Clay added.
"And I guess they're not dating if he's referring to her as a friend," Bruce added sadly. He wished they were dating already!
"Oh yeah, I guess you're right about that," Viva said, a little disappointed as she was also hoping they were dating.
(Screen shows Chad and Todd cleaning up after the Trolls in the castle, with Gristle ranting and Bridget looking sadly around at the mess. King Gristle also has an ice pack over one of his eyes and bandages wrapped over his head)
"Woah, that's a mess," Bruce gasped, and he knew what a mess looked like. Having thirteen kids would do that to you…
King Gristle: "You know what? No more Trolls in the castle area! The Trolls just want us to be like them with their happy energy and glitter and foam and...lasers." (Picks up his keyboard from the floor and places it on its stand)
Bridget: (Looks at the trolls ruined decorations and stage, and a small amount of glitter shoots out from the words 'Holiday' as Bridget accidentally backs into it. Crouching down, she runs her fingers over the word) "Holiday. [sighs] Grissy, maybe we shouldn't have been so hard on Poppy and the Trolls."
"She really wasn't all that hard on them though," John Dory commented, earning a glare from Viva.
(King Gristle sneezes, causing glitter to pop out of his ears)
Bridget: "I mean, they were just trying to do something nice for us."
King Gristle: "I guess. I just can't believe they took a bus all this way and created an elaborate holiday theme, song, and dance, just to find a holiday for us. That is poor time management if you ask me."
"No, that wasn't poor time management! She just really cares about her friends!" Viva said, defending her sister.
Bridget: "Yeah, they did do all of that. Just to try and help us."
King Gristle: "I mean, why does she even care so much about what we do? There's glitter on the ceiling…"
Bridget: (Walks over to her collection of cards Poppy sent them, all of which were taped around the fireplace, and looks at all the cards) "You're right. She does care. A lot. Maybe we do have a reason to celebrate a holiday after all. [gasps] Grissy, that's it!"
King Gristle: "What? W... wh... what did I say? Was it king-ish? Did I sound like a king?"
"Seriously?!" John Dory asked, exasperated with the King.
Bridger: "Yes, it was super king-ish. Now get your keyboard ready. We have work to do!" (Runs off excitedly)
"I wonder what she's planning?" Floyd wondered aloud.
King Gristle: "You see what I did right there, Chad? That is how a king gets things…Oh!" (Falls onto his keyboard)
Chad: "Very impressive, sir." (Todd nods in agreement)
At this John Dory burst out laughing, earning him amused eye rolls from his brothers.
(Screen goes back to Branch, who's still singing songs to Poppy)
Branch: "Oh you're the best friend, that I've ever had! I've been with you such a long time…"
"He's still going!" Clay asked in surprise.
"She still hasn't figured it out!" Bruce said at the same time.
Poppy: (Screams) "Branch! Stop! I keep telling you to stop and you just keep singing! It's like you're not even listening to…" (Sits up in understanding) "Oh, my holy realization! That was just what I did to Bridget, wasn't it?"
"There it is!" Floyd said, glad Poppy finally understood her mistake.
Branch: "Phew! There it is. I was runnin' out of songs."
"Yeah I bet," John Dory chuckled in amusement.
Poppy: "Oh, man! I got so excited trying to take care of Bridget and I… [sighs] I wasn't even listening to her."
(Bubbles and soft humming gains Poppy's and Branch's attention, and they look to see where they're coming from and notice it's coming from Bergen Town. Together, Branch and Poppy walk in Bergen Town and see that the Bergen's have decorated their town their own way. Walking down the streets, they pass Bergens who are gently singing and see Todd and Chad with a leaf blower which they're pouring bubble mix into and using it to release a soft blow of bubbles over the town)
"Woah," the brothers and Viva gasped softly, the sight of the Bergen's celebrating their own holiday their own way taking them by surprise.
"Those decorations and the atmosphere…it's incredible," Floyd said, at a loss for words.
King Gristle: (Seen trimming the Troll Tree from above) "Hey, everybody! The tree looks like Troll hair!"
"That's actually really neat," Bruce commented.
Bridget: "Grissy, it's so beautiful!"
Poppy: "Bridget!" (Runs up to Bridget)
Bridget: "Poppy!"
Poppy: "This is amazing!"
Bridget: "I am so glad to see you."
Poppy: "I'm sorry, Bridget. I was not being a good friend. I got so caught up in telling you what to celebrate that I didn't even think about why."
Bridget: "Oh, it's okay, Poppy. You actually helped us. We realized that the holidays aren't about all that stuff."
Poppy: "Right? Oh! It's not about the glitter or the presents or the decorations...Although, man, do I love decorations! But no. You're right. It's not about that. I'm learning as I go."
Bridget: "Me too. I think that the holidays are about celebrating the awesome things in life. And the super awesome thing in our lives...is our friendship with you guys. The Trolls."
Poppy: "And a friendship like ours is definitely something worth celebrating." (Poppy and Bridget hug)
"Aw. I'm so glad they made up," Viva said, glad that their friendship wasn't ruined.
"I knew they'd be okay," John Dory said, folding his arms with a smile on his face.
"It's so sweet how much their friendship means to each other," Floyd said, happy for Poppy and Bridget.
Poppy: (Looks up and sees Branch smiling warmly at the two of them) "Branch... you're smiling!"
Branch: "I... I am? I... I am! Wow! That's what this feels like."
Seeing their brother smiling immediately brought a smile to the brother's, as Branch being happy meant the world to them.
"He has a really nice smile," Viva told the brothers.
"Yeah, he does," Floyd happily said, looking up at Branch.
Bridget: "You have a very nice smile."
Branch: "Thanks. Now I can't stop. Yeah, this is kinda starting to hurt."
At those words the brothers all chuckled in amusement.
Poppy: "This is really nice, Bridget."
King Gristle: "Happy Troll-A-Bration, everybody!"
"Oh, I love it!" Viva exclaimed in joy and excitement.
Poppy: "I love it."
Bridget: "And since we're celebrating the Trolls, I thought we could Troll it up a little bit. Hit it, Grissy!"
(King Gristle ice skates down the roads, playing an upbeat melody on his keyboard)
"Dang, he's good," John Dory said, commenting on King Gristle's talent with his keyboard.
Branch: (Jumps on King Gristle's keyboard) "Holiday, come on."
Chad & Todd: "Holiday!"
Branch: "Celebrate!"
Chad & Todd: "Celebrate!"
Poppy: "If we took a holiday…"
Bridget: "Took some time to celebrate!"
Poppy: "Just one day out of life…"
Bridget: (Begins to ice skate with King Gristle, Poppy on her shoulder) "Everybody now!"
Everyone: "It would be, it would be so nice!" (All the Bergen's start to ice skate)
"This is a nice holiday," Bruce said, giving Clay and John Dory a side-hug as the trolls enjoyed the scene.
Poppy & Bridget: "Everybody spread the word. We're gonna have a celebration!"
Everyone: "All across the world! In every nation!"
Branch: "It's time for the good times! Forget about the bad times!"
"Dang, he can really hit those high notes!" Clay said, amazed and impressed by his brother's talent of singing. Watching and hearing Branch sing could only bring joy to the brothers.
King Gristle: "Oh yeah!"
Branch: "One day to come together to release the pressure!"
Everyone: "We need a holiday!"
Narrator: "And so Poppy and Bridget took some time to celebrate and appreciate each other on a brand new holiday." (Guy Diamond vocalizes in the Troll Tree, then the hug time bracelets go off and all the Trolls hug) "They would take one day out of life and it would be, it would be… so nice!"
Everyone: "It would be so nice!"
(Screen shows the scrapbook and the 'Narrator' who was telling the story, who turned out to be Mr. Dinkles blowing a pipe)
Mr. Dinkles: "So happy holidays to all! And to all, a goodnight."
"Wait, what?" John Dory asked, confused.
Biggie: "Oh, there you are, Mr. Dinkles." (Mr. Dinkles drops the pipe and squeaks innocently) "Hang on, what are you wearin'?" (Picks Mr. Dinkles up) "Is that a pipe? Who gave Mr. Dinkles a pipe?" (Picks up Mr. Dinkles and walks off and the screen goes black)
"Oh man, that was fun!" John Dory said while laughing at the ending scene with Mr. Dinkles and Biggie.
"You know, as we're getting to know Branch more and more, I'm realizing just how similar he is to us. He's sensitive to those around him and is aware of others feelings, a leader when he needs to be, outgoing and fun, knows how to take things seriously, and pretty smooth when it comes to interacting with Poppy," Bruce said, comparing Branch's personality with all the brothers and noticing the similarities.
"Yeah, he's definitely our little bro," Floyd happily agreed.
