Bridget was over the moon when she returned to her room, and so were the trolls. She spun around numerous times before plopping down on her bed.

Cooper: I think the king really likes us!

Biggie: I know, right?!

Bridget: That was the greatest day of my life! Thanks, Poppy.

Poppy: Of course!

Bridget: Thanks to all of you! Even you, I guess.

Branch looked up at Bridget, she clearly meant him. He did come up with this huge poem to say to the king.

Bridget: I just never thought something like that could happen to me. And it just did! I'm so excited I could just scream.

Bridget let out a quiet scream.

Poppy: I could scream too! Creek is alive!

All the trolls started cheering but stopped when they heard an agonizing scream, it was coming from Branch. He immediately went silent when he saw all the trolls staring at him like something just happened.

Poppy: Branch, what's wrong?

Branch: Nothing, I thought we were celebrating!

Cooper: That's your happy shout.

Branch: It's been a while.

Poppy: Well, tell you what, you're gonna have plenty of practice, because we're gonna save Creek...and life will be all cupcakes and rainbows again!

Branch: Up top!

Poppy attempted to high five Branch, but he quickly pulled away.

Branch: Too slow!

That made Poppy extremely happy, Branch was finally getting the hang of being happy!

Poppy: Okay, everybody, let's go save Creek!

Everyone started out the door but they were quickly stopped by Bridget.

Bridget: No! No! You can't leave. Lady Glittersparkles is gonna be the king's plus one at dinner.

Branch: The dinner where they're serving Troll? Yeah, I think we're gonna have to skip that one. Come on, Poppy, let's go.

Branch made his way to the door holding Poppy's hand, but they were stopped again.

Bridget: No! No, you have to help me be Lady Glittersparkles. I need you!

This was getting nowhere, Poppy finally spoke up trying to intervene.

Poppy: Bridget, you don't wanna pretend to be someone you're not forever.

Bridget: Then...how about just for tomorrow?

Poppy: Bridget, you don't need us anymore! You and the king can make each other happy!
