So, I thought about the first film, and thought about what might happen if Chef captured Poppy instead of the Snack Pack. Here's what I've been brainstorming, hope you like it.
The party was in full swing, trolls were dancing the night away, singing loudly, and not worrying about anything but having fun. Poppy was there to make sure it stayed that way, standing on the stage along with Cooper getting the trolls to go bigger than before. Nearby, Branch was watching the whole thing unfold. Being in a big party, as if. Being with Poppy? That was different. Branch didn't know why, but since they were kids, he felt he was floating on air when he was around Poppy, he didn't know why, he just did. Still, he avoided the party and went back to his bunker.
Poppy: MORE GLITTER!!!!!!
But no matter how loud, glittery, or festive this party was, Poppy knew this party couldn't cover up her childhood trauma. Uh oh, her scar was starting to hurt again. Out of the blue, the princess fainted right where she was standing.
King Peppy: Poppy!
This wasn't anything new to King Peppy, he had seen his daughter faint for brief moments as she was growing up. He ran up to the stage and helped his daughter to her feet.
King Peppy: Another fainting spell?
Poppy: Yeah, I'm good, Dad, it'll pass.
The princess turned her attention to the crowd of trolls, all of them had gone silent with what just happened.
Poppy: It's okay, guys, let's get back to the party!
Just like that, the party was back in full swing, louder and crazier than ever before. But several miles away, the chef Bergen was keeping a map as to where the trolls could be. She had been banished 20 years prior for failing to please the king's son, failing to make his first Trollstice memorable and for him to become happy. Since her banishment, she swore to find the trolls and bring them back. Suddenly, a spark of light shimmered near her hideout catching her attention, when she looked through her telescope, she found the location of what she had been searching for for a long time.
Chef: Trolls...

Poppy: Okay, everyone, settle down! I just want to take a moment, get a little real.
Biggie: Poppy! She's my friend! I know her!
All: Shhhhhhhh!
Mr. Dinkles: Mew.
King Peppy cleared his throat and Poppy continued her speech.
Poppy: I just want to take a second to celebrate out king. My father, who 20 years ago this night, saved us from the dreaded Bergens.
Poppy turned to her father and smiled, taking his hand in hers.
King Peppy: That's my girl.

But at the same time, Poppy was feeling guilty, every troll in front of her didn't know anything that had happened to her. Even though they haven't seen a Bergen in 20 years, that wasn't the case for Poppy, she had to come clean.
Poppy: Dad...while the party's winding down, and while everyone's quiet, there's something you need to know.
King Peppy: What is it, sweetheart?
Poppy showed her scar to her father, it still looked the same from 15 years ago, but not as serious as it was then.
Poppy: This scar...I didn't get it from baking, and it's not a birthmark either. The truth is...I was atta-
But Poppy's words were interrupted by loud thumping, the trolls all gasped hearing the same noise. When they turned around, they were all in for a surprise.
Chef: Gotcha.
All the trolls froze in shock, not wanting to believe that it was true, Cooper pooped out 3 cupcakes.
Poppy: Uh...cupcake?
One glance at the princess was enough for Chef, she immediately recognized her to be the troll meant for the king's son. She let out a creepy grin and opened up her fanny pack.
Poppy: ...RUN!!!!!!!!
All the trolls ran for their lives, not knowing if they were going to survive, or get eaten. Chef attempted to grab some of the scrambling trolls, but failed, the trolls all escaping and hiding.
Biggie: Mr. Dinkles! Has anybody seen Mr. Dinkles?!
Mr. Dinkles: Mew.
Poppy: Biggie, run!!!
The princess ran around trying to keep all the trolls together, thankfully, no one had been caught.
Poppy: Blend in! Blend in!!! BLEND IN!!!!!
That's exactly what the trolls did, blending in with the bushes, trees, shrubs, the nearest place they could find. The Snack Pack all hid under a mushroom, they weren't seen thankfully.
DJ Suki: Everyone okay?
Cooper: I don't think so...
Cooper looked down at all the cupcakes he just pooped out.
Biggie: Wait, where's Poppy?!
The Snack Pack all looked from their hiding place, Poppy was getting a group of kids to hide in bushes, but what happened next was not what they anticipated. While Poppy's back was turned, Chef reached down grabbing her, nearly suffocating the princess.
Poppy: No...no...! Help! HELP!!!!!
Chef: Princess Poppy, I remember you. Time for you to suffer your 20 year old fate.
Poppy's friends all extended their hair towards Chef's leg, making her trip and release Poppy.
Poppy: Thanks, guys!
But just as she was about to hide with everyone else, Poppy slowly stopped in her tracks. No...not again, not now! Another dizzy spell began to overwhelm Poppy, her emotional scar hurting more than before. Before she knew it, she passed out in the soft grass.
All: Poppy!!!!
King Peppy: No!!! My daughter!
Chef seized opportunity and grabbed Poppy, sealing her in her fanny pack. When she saw there weren't any other trolls around, she left with the princess. Just like that, Poppy was gone. ________________
All the trolls came out of their hiding spots in complete shock, they couldn't believe a Bergen had found them, and they couldn't believe that their beloved princess was captured.
DJ Suki: King Peppy, what do we do?
King Peppy loves his daughter more than anyone else, but at this point, there was no other option.
King Peppy: We have to get out of here! Everyone, with me!
DJ Suki: Wait, what about Poppy?!
Biggie: She's your daughter!
King Peppy: I know, but I can't let anything else happen to the rest of you!
Cooper: But what about no troll left behind?
King Peppy: I'm sorry, that was a long time ago, I'm not the king I once was.
At this point, the Snack Pack knew that there was only one troll they could turn to. One that would be willing to save Poppy.
