Val's POV

Right now, I'm standing next to Poppy and Branch.

I don't think Bridget and Gristle are liking the holidays we have showed them lately. And I don't think Poppy sees that.

"Uh, Poppy, this whole thing has been great." Branch says to Poppy.

"Thank you." Poppy says.

"And you're great for doing it." Branch adds.

"Thank you again." Poppy says.

"But it's a disaster." Branch says.

"Thank- Wait, what?" Poppy asks in confusion.

Well, at least I'm not the only one who thinks this whole thing was some-what a disaster.

"You know that wise old saying, 'Go big or go home'? Maybe we should go-" Branch starts to say.

"Bigger!" Poppy interrupts.

"That's not what I had in mind." I say to myself. All I know is that this is not going to go so well.

Just then, loud music started to play.

Poppy: It's time to double-down in the speed round. Got a holiday you're gonna like better stick around.

Guy Diamond: Well, my favorite's Epic Hug Ball Day.

Trolls, Val: That's a big ball of hugs.

Poppy: Or Shock a Friend Day. Rub your feet on the rug.

Trolls, Val: And touch everyone you love.

Fuzzbert goes over to Gristle and shocks him.

Okay, now I feel really bad for Gristle.

Branch: Well, there's a very special day we call an Equinox. It's a great opportunity to celebrate socks.

Trolls, Val: Socks, socks, socks, socks, sock. Come on!

Poppy: Tear-Away Pants Day. Feel the breeze on your hips.

Biggie: Hear the sound of Velcro going rip, rip, rip.

Just then, Biggie rips his pants off.

Branch: Good Luck Troll Day. Put a gem on your stomach.

Poppy: Then you spread a little charm. Let a friend belly rub it.

Guy Diamond, Biggie: Rub it, rub it, rub it, rub it, rub it, rub it.

Branch: Everyone will be so jelly when they see you on the telly with a shiny pink jewel sticky right out your belly.

Val: On Express Yourself Day, give your opinion a shout.

Poppy: Keep It To Yourself Day. Where you shut your mouth.

Val: There's a rocking holiday filled up with lots of drama. Get your jumping all around and we call it "Mosh-sha-sha-na".

Cooper: Shoot a flare in the air like you just don't care.

Cooper started lighting fireworks in the castle.

Poppy: 'Cause it's Fireworks Day in the village square.

Branch: There's Bleepy Sound Day where you only speak in bleeps. You can say anything, like-

*bleep*

*bleep*

*bleep*

Val: If you want a tattoo but you're having doubts, there's Random Tattoo Day.

Trolls, Val: Which is not thought out.

Gristle gets a tattoo that says, "Hug Life".

Poppy: Smacksgiving Day is a day we embrace. Especially when someone gets slapped in the face.

Gristle then gets slapped really hard on the face.

Poppy: A big holiday that's a bundle of fun.

Satin, Chenille: It's Fuzzy Onesie Day, so go put one on.

Bridget and Gristle are now wearing ugly sweaters. But it looks like the one on Gristle is to tight for him.

It's a onesie, and it's fuzzy. And it's cute and ugly-fugly.

Trolls, Val: And we know you're gonna love it when you're feeling super snuggly.

"Stop!" We hear Bridget scream.

It was quiet for a few seconds.

Bridget gasps before saying, "I used my outside voice."

Everyone, including me leave the stage and watch what is going to happen from backstage.

"You don't like any of our holidays?" Poppy asks Bridget.

"Poppy, all this glitter and foam... and pyrotechnics..." Bridget starts to say.

"Don't forget the fuzzy sweaters!" Poppy adds.

"How could we?" Gristle asks in the background.

"I guess what I'm saying...Hmm. Maybe it's best  if you, um, go and stand somewhere, like, where we're not." Bridget says.

Oh, I know where this is going.

"Oh. Uh, you mean, like, back here?" Poppy asks as she takes a step back.

"Um... Mm-mm." Bridget says.

"How about here?" Poppy asks as she takes another step back.

"Mm-mm." Bridget says while shaking her head.

"You mean, like, over here?" Poppy asks while, once again, taking another step back.

"Maybe farther." Bridget says.

"Wait, are you mad at me?" Poppy asks.

"No I'm not mad. I'm just feeling a feeling that's the opposite of happy." Bridget says.

"What is happening?" Guy diamond whispers to Branch and I.

"I don't know."I say while shrugging my shoulders.

"It's like, the nicest fight ever." Branch says afterwards.

"Bridget, I think I know what you are trying to say." Poppy says.

"Okay, good. Because I really didn't want to have to say it." Bridget says with a sigh in relief.

"You want me..." Poppy starts to say.

"Mm-hmm." Bridget says.

"...to step back..." Poppy adds.

"Uh-huh."

"...so we have room..." Poppy says.

Well, at least Poppy understands what Bridget is trying to say.

"Yes!" Bridget says.

"...to show you more holidays!"

Yes- Wait, what? That caught me off guard.

"What? No!" Bridget says.

"Like Fuzzy Legwarmer Day or Chug a Jug of Milk Day-" Poppy starts to say.

"Poppy, enough!" Bridget shouts.

This gets Poppy to quiet down.

"You're not listening to me." Bridget says.

"What do you want me to do?" Poppy asks.

"I think...you should... leave." Bridget says hesitantly.

Poppy looked heartbroken after Bridget said that. "Oh... Okay." She says before leaving the stage. Poppy then runs out of the castle.

We just stand there as we watch Poppy leave.

I kind of feel bad for her.
