Val's POV

We start walking to the entrance of the castle.

Poppy then turns around to face us. "Guy Diamond, you're on glitter." She says.

"Glitter at the ready!" Guy Diamond says.

"Cooper, pyrotechnics." Poppy says afterwards.

"Fire." Cooper says while holding a blow torch and fireworks.

"Satin, Chenille, festive outfits." Poppy says.

"On it!" Satin and Chenille says in unison.

Branch then steps forward and says, "Uh, Poppy, about these costumes..."

"Branch, we've been over this. It's not a holiday without costumes. So put on your big-boy pants and let's go in there, in three, two, one." Poppy says.

Afterwards, Poppy bursts the door open and yells, "Stop everything!"

"Poppy!" Bridget yells in excitement while running to Poppy.

"Bridget!" Poppy yells while running to Bridget.

Poppy jumps in Bridget's hand and they start greeting each other.

"Pop Star!"

"B-Bop!"

"Lolly Pop!"

"Roller Girl!"

"Glitter Girl!"

"Morning Jogger!"

"Helicopter!"

"Prim and..."

"Proper!"

Branch and I just stand there, with me in confusion and him in boredom.

"Sup." Gristle says to us.

"Sup." Branch and I say in unison.

"You're hair looks amazing!" Poppy says to Bridget.

I just realize that Bridget has two rainbow-colored pigtails. And it does look good on her.

"It's a weave." Bridget whispers, but I'm still able to hear her.

"I won't say a  word." Poppy says.

"It's so good to see you, Poppy. Um, what are you doing here?" Bridget asks as she puts Poppy down.

"Funny you should ask. Hit it, Smidge!" Poppy says.

And right on cue, Smidge turns the lights off. The other Trolls open a big box, which then turns into a stage.

Bridget starts to clap in excitement.

Poppy then walks on to the stage and says, "Lady and gentleman, we are here to solve your problems!"

"We have problems?" Bridget asks in confusion.

"But don't worry. We have the solution. You guys need a new holiday!" Poppy says, ignoring Bridget's question.

"Why do we need a holiday?" Bridget asks.

"How else are you gonna get presents and wear awesome costumes and play 'How many marshmallows you fit in your mouth'?" Poppy asks.

"Hundred and seventy-two. Beat that." Cooper says with marshmallows in his mouth.

"Yeah." I say in agreement.

"My goodness, excuse me. Have you not been getting our cards back?" Gristle asks.

"Uh, yeah. I especially love the Wednesday one. You know, it really made me appreciate the middle of the week." Branch says to them.

"Middle of the week. Told ya, babe." Gristle says to Bridget in triumph.

"Look, we care about you guys, and we want to make sure you have something to celebrate. And here's the great news. The Trolls have, like, a kajillion holidays, so you can have one of ours!" Poppy says.

"That's cool! I guess." Bridget says.

"Yeah, it is!" Poppy says.

The lights go out and Poppy is going to sing.

Poppy: You're looking for a holiday. And there's a million things to celebrate. Your life is bland right now but that's okay. Prepare your minds to get blown away.

The lights turns back on and everyone is dancing around.

Poppy: Holi-

Branch: Day!

Poppy: Holi-

Branch: Day!

Val: Holiday!

Branch: Poppy, break it down!

Poppy: The first holiday we're presenting to ya. A sparkly shiny day called Glitterpalooza.

Poppy then throws glitter in the air.

Poppy: Homie Guy Diamond, take the mic.

Poppy, Branch, Val: And give the Bergens something they gonna like.

Guy Diamond: When you wake up in the morning. Whether it's sunny or whether it's stormy. Open the door for a big surprise. A blast of glitter shoots in your eyes.

Trolls, Val: Glitterpalooza! Glitterpalooza! Glitterpalooza!

Just then glitter shoots at Gristle. But the glitter got in his eyes.

Yeah, that is the only problem with Glitterpalooza. The glitter might get in your eyes.

"Ah! Oh, yeah. Oh that got in there. Oh, it's in my eye." Gristle says in pain.

"Maybe that holiday is not really cool for us." Bridget says to us.

Poppy: That's okay. We got tons of holidays. Biggie, tell them about Tickle Day!

Biggie: We celebrate with giggles. Get tickled, get tickled. Get tickled by spiders.

Afterwards, spiders are thrown at Gristle. But he doesn't seem to like it because he is screaming in fear.

I really feel bad for him.

Branch: Clearly not your idea of fun.

Poppy: Yo, Satin, Chenille, show them another one

Satin, Chenille: Everyone will scream "hooray" in the electric foam parade. We got lasers that sparkle and glow. So everyone enjoys the show. And there'll be flowers shooting bubbles in the air. You'll be blinded by the lights but you just won't care. Flip a little switch, get a bubble bomb-bomb. Because a party ain't a party without lasers and foam.

Bubble foam shoots onto Gristle and a laser shoots into his eye.

"Ah! It stings!" Gristle says in pain.

"These don't seem like Bergen things." Bridget says to us.

Branch: Okay, not the holiday for you?

Poppy: It's all good. We're only halfway through.

"You got to be kidding me." Gristle says.

I can tell that Bridget and Gristle are not liking this.

Cooper: All your family and friends will gather around to enjoy the majestic sounds. A chorus you'll hear from miles away. For 24 hours, it's Balloon Squeal Day.

Balloons started squealing, but Bridget and Gristle looked a little annoyed by the noise.

And I can tell that Branch can see it too.

"Hey, everybody, why don't we just take a cool five?" Branch asks before trying to do his smile. "Not working?" He asks afterwards.

"Nope." I say.

"Still super weird." Poppy says.

Well, this is not going to end to well for Bridget and Gristle.
