Everyone was gathered in the center of Pop Village.

They were gathered in front of a Valentine's Day-themed stage.

Poppy and Branch met up with the other leaders.

Poppy asked, "What's going on?"

Barb answered, "Diamond dude's got something big he wants to share."

Branch said, "Probably another one of his attention-grasping schemes."

Just then, some music started playing.

Tiny Diamond came out, "Ladies and gentlemen, gather around. Today is your lucky day. Because the Troll of Love's love potion spectacular is about to begin."

Some of the others were confused.

"Troll of Love?"

"Love potion?"

Guy Diamond popped out and started singing.

"Go take your troubles to the Troll of Love

That's me!

The Heavens sent me, from above

Go on, everybody, get into a line

Try a little spray

Of Love Potion Number Five."

Biggie was the first to respond, "Ooh, ooh! I want to try some love potion!"

Guy said, "Our first customer! Step right up! And prepare to be...irresistible."

Guy then spritzed Biggie with the perfume.

Just then, a Tiny Diamond dressed in women's clothes came out.

He was sniffing.

He giggled when he saw Biggie.

Biggie and the other Trolls went, "Ooh."

But, Poppy, Branch, and the other leaders saw right through it.

"Ew!"

"Dang!"

Tiny said in a high pitched voice, "Well, hello. Aren't you just the most adorable thing I've ever seen?"

Biggie then shouted out, "I'm...irresistible!"

Barb then shouted, "Come on! It's a dude! It's not even a grown-up!"

But, everyone else still wanted some love potion.

Queen Essence said, "Can you believe this nonsense?"

Trollex said, "I know! A love potion? Please."

Riff also said, "Well, you won't see me buying that stuff...or something."

Then, something caught his attention.

Two Trolls said, "Us, either."

Riff turned to see who said that.

No sooner than he did, Riff was in awe when he saw the owners of those voices.

A couple of pretty trolls connected by the hair.

One said, "That's obviously just cheap perfume."

The other said, "Even we wouldn't be smelled dead wearing that stuff. Know what we mean?"

Riff was still in awe, "Uh...uh...uh..."

One of the twins just said, "Ok, then. Well, see ya."

When they left, Riff asked, "Who are they?"

Poppy responded, "You mean the twins? Satin and Chenille?"

Riff repeated their names, "Satin...Chenille..."

They all knew what that meant.

Queen Essence said, "Aw, looks like somebody got bit by the lovebug."

Barb playfully pushed him forward, "You should try to go get with that."

But, Riff held back, "Are you crazy? A couple of Troll goddesses such as them are surely spoken for. I need a little...head start."

Delta asked, "A head start? Like what?"

Tiny whispered to him, "Love Potion #5."

Riff shouted, "That's it!"

Riff immediately went to the front of the line.

Guy said, "Perfect. Just sign the contract that says you will always come to the Troll of Love for any romantic problems."

When he signed it, Guy tried to give him some.

But, he was already out, "Whoops. All gone."

Riff said, "No, no way! You've gotta have more!"

Guy replied, "What do I look like? A wizard? I don't know how to make that stuff."

Riff, in turn, said, "Fine. No love potion, no contract."

He ripped up the signed contract.

Guy shouted out, "Wait! I'll get you more!"

Poppy asked, "How? You don't know how to make it."

Guy then realized, "But, I know someone who might."
