Bridget carried the cage down the stairs and into her room where Max, Branch and Poppy hopped off the loops and behind a table leg.

"Scullery maid!" Chef yelled through an opening in her ceiling. A bunch of pots and pans fell on her from the opening while the three Trolls ran to another hiding place.

"Wash these pots and pans for Trollstice. The king's inviting everyone. Except you." Chef ordered then dropped a spoon, which hit Bridget on the head.

Bridget cried then threw herself on her bed, sobbing into her pillow. Branch looked at her with curiosity, while Poppy looked with sympathy and Max looked with both. Bridget moved a curtain from her nightstand, pulled a magazine out with Gristle on it, and began to sing.

Bridget:

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams, I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you

While in the cage, DJ Suki can hear Bridget singing about King Gristle. She actually wants to help the scullery maid hook up with him. She then decides to join in the song, but with her own point of view on Max.

DJ Suki:

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes, I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying
I love you

Bridget and DJ Suki:

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying
I love you

After the song ended, Bridget sobbed into the pillow with Gristle's face until she cried herself to sleep.

"Oh, she's in love with the King." Poppy said.

"That's so sweet. I think." Max added.

"What are you talking about? Bergens don't have feelings." Branch pointed out.

"Well, maybe you don't know anything about the Bergens after all." Poppy remarked.

"I second that." Max smirked.

"Alright, now let's go." Poppy urged.

The three Trolls made it past Bridget's bed, onto the counter, and Max removed the cover of the cage.

"Guys!" Poppy and Max greeted.

"Poppy! Max!" The Trolls exclaimed.

The Snack Pack:

Celebrate good times, come on

Poppy:

It's a celebration

Branch and Max shushed them all.

The Snack Pack (quietly):

There's a party going on right here
