‐ Reporters, by starting this printing press,

we will officially begin publishing

TrollsTopia's first ever scrapbook‐newspaper,

The Fabloid!

[ Trolls cheering ]

‐ Thanks to our reporting,

all Trolls will finally get recognized for their fabulous deeds,

which they would never brag about themselves.

Y'know, 'cuz Trolls are so humble.

‐ No. Stop it!

‐ Poppy, you're the humble one.

‐ Aw, you guys, no, you are.

[ everybody talking ]

Stop! You're the humble one.

[ everybody talking ]

‐ Enough! Ugh! You're all humble, ok?

POPPY: Aww, Branch… ‐ No, you are.

‐ Gah! Just start the presses!

Oh!

♪

‐ Stop the presses!

[ Trolls gasp ]

‐ Ugh.

‐ Apologies, but I just broke a story that you need to see!

‐ Minuet is the one who has been giving out cookies

while Trolls' backs are turned?

[ Minuet giggles ]

Wow, this is front page material, Laguna. I can see it now:

Minuet Makes Mystery Munchies, Motivating Many to Mutter.

Mmmm…

‐ No, that headline is way too long‐‐ ‐ Start the presses!

‐ Hey, hey, TrollsTopia, time to get that paper!

Bless up!

One love!

Stay cool!

‐ That's who's been giving out all those cookies?

Thank you, Minuet…

[ Minuet giggles ]

…wherever you are.

[ Troll laughs ]

‐ I've been waiting my whole life for this.

‐ Well, the first Fabloid issue is a big success,

thanks to you, Laguna.

‐ Oh, just wait 'til you see my next story.

It's about the TrollsTopia Wishing Well.

We are all familiar with the well tradition…

Trolls toss cupcakes into the well, make wishes,

and sometimes the wishes magically come true.

[ Troll cheering ]

But what if the well isn't magic at all?

What if it's a Troll who's granting those wishes?

A Troll who deserves recognition.

‐ I dunno, Laguna. I've heard enough wish‐come‐true stories

to think that there really is something magical about this well.

‐ Please, what possible evidence is there for the existence of "magic"?

BOTH: Uh…

‐ Ha.

Ho!

Yeah!

♪

NARRATOR: "Magic is real!"

‐ Hmm, I see your point.

But, in the case of the well, I am certain there's a Troll behind it.

And I'm going to prove it!

‐ Suit yourself! ‐ We just hate for you to waste your time.

[ Poppy giggles ]

BOTH: She knows!

‐ Well, it's all over now!

Laguna's a great reporter, Poppy.

It's only a matter of time before she exposes

that we're the ones down in this well granting wishes!

POPPY: No!

Branch, you've seen the Trolls' faces

when they believe their wish was granted magically.

It fills them with a hope that anything is possible.

‐ You're right. We can't let that be ruined.

'Cuz of the hope thing you just said, not 'cuz I get cupcakes whenever I want.

[ Branch giggles ]

TINY: I wish I had a new bike!

‐ Oh! Oh!

♪

So how do we stop Laguna?

‐ Easy…

we keep her busy.

Right after we get Tiny a new bike!

[ both laughing ]

Laguna, we know that you want to work on that wishing well story,

and while we wish you well, pun intended,

there's actually a hot new story that we need you to crack.

‐ What came first,

the chicken bug or the chicken bug egg?

‐ You want me to answer a timeless riddle

that's plagued Trolls‐kind for thousands of years?

BOTH: Could you?

‐ Well, it seems an odd subject for a good‐deed based publication,

but if that's my assignment, then… Hmm…

Trolly moley where does one even begin? Think, Laguna.

[ Poppy laughing ]

‐ No Troll could ever answer that question.

‐ Yup, she'll be busy for a very long time…

[ both laughing ]

‐ It was the chicken.

BOTH: What?

‐ You were only gone ten minutes! ‐ How did you do that?

‐ It wasn't easy.

I had to brush up on the genetics of domesticated fowl,

locate a dozen scrolls of knowledge that had been lost for generations.

Ah!

Decipher three ancient languages each more complex than the last,

snack break,

and finally submit my findings to the scientific community

for a strict peer review.

Woohoo!

‐ You did all that in ten minutes?

‐ Oh, no.

I also wrote a draft of my wishing well article.

BOTH: Huh?

‐ I have yet to identify the Troll responsible,

but it details my theory quite clearly.

‐ Wow. We'd…

We'd love to print this, Laguna.

But…

The Fabloid has certain journalistic standards.

Right, Branch?

‐ Standards.

‐ We need hard facts.

And since your wishing well article doesn't have an eyewitness…

‐ Oh, I see…

If I had known the standards,

I would've never brought you this without an eyewitness.

Hmm…

[ both gasp ]

I found an eyewitness!

BOTH: What?

‐ A few days ago I came to the well to wish for a new pie,

because someone sat on my old pie.

And I don't want to name names,

but it was me.

[ Cooper laughing ]

Anyway, when I looked down,

I could barely see a Troll inside the well!

And they were listening to me!

‐ There you have it, an eyewitness.

I believe my story meets The Fabloid's standards now, yes?

‐ Uh… ‐ Uh…

Well, let's see about that…

Cooper, would you say you're as confident you saw someone in the well

as you were when you witnessed that mysterious Troll

that kept following you everywhere you went?

‐ Oh, absolutely.

But shh…

he's right behind me.

Ooh, you ominous yet handsome‐shaped Troll!

Why are you so obsessed with me?

Huh? Hey! Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you!

Come back here!

‐ Oh my, perhaps Cooper is not a reliable witness after all.

I'm beginning to doubt whether my article will ever meet the Fabloid's standards.

Hmm…

[ both sigh ]

‐ Well, Branch, now that we've taken care of Laguna,

we can finally get back to‐‐

Laguna?

‐ Hello! Just finishing up!

BOTH: Finishing up?

‐ "Wishing Well Wishes Point to One Wonderful Troll?"

LAGUNA: Poppy? Branch?

[ both gasp ]

You've been taking my papers?

But why?

Unless…

[ Laguna gasps ]

It's you!

You're the Trolls granting the wishes!

‐ Wait, Laguna, listen, we‐‐

‐ No! No more diversions!

I am going to write a new story that will expose you

for exactly who you are.

Two very sweet Trolls.

[ both sigh ]

TINY: It's the "Guna Gazette", comin' atcha!

‐ Well, this is it.

Once everyone reads this,

the Trolls' world becomes a little less whimsical.

"Wishing Well Wishes Point To Two Terrific Trolls,

by Laguna Tidepool.

Contrary to the common belief

in The TrollsTopia Wishing Well's supernatural powers,

it was discovered yesterday that the wishes made at the well

have actually been granted by two Trolls: Poppy and Branch.

[ Branch gasps ]

The duo's deeds were conducted secretly, in order to preserve

every Trolls‐Topian's sense of childlike wonder,

making Poppy and Branch all the more deserving of recognition.

But…"

‐ But…

‐ "But after a great deal of reflection, this reporter has decided

that exposing them would undermine their generosity.

As such, only one copy of this paper has been printed

and once Poppy and Branch stop reading it out loud,

Laguna will destroy it so their secret is kept forever.

By the way, you can look up now, I'm standing right in front of you?"

BOTH: Laguna?

‐ You're not going to share the story with TrollsTopia?

‐ No, I'm not.

All I want is for Trolls to be recognized for their good deeds.

And now…

you have been.

BOTH: Aww.

‐ Now, for my next Fabloid story.

I just heard a rumor that R&B have opened a bed in breakfast

as a place for Trolls to relax!

[ Poppy gasps ]

‐ R&B Open B&B for R&R?

‐ Can you cover it, Laguna?

‐ For a story like that, we're gonna need our very best!

‐ The best? Oh, stop. You two are the best.

‐ No, you are! You're the best.

‐ Let's be serious, you clearly are the best.

‐ You're the best. ‐ Oh, no, you.

‐ Pff, no, you are. ‐ Stop!

‐ Gah! ‐ I won't listen for another second.

‐ Y'see?

It always goes back to a smile.

Told ya, Poppy.

You've got "Resting Nice Face."

‐ Aww.

BOTH: It's time for R&B's podcast!

‐ Yeah!

‐ Live from inside a hair pod, it's your favorite podcast:

BOTH: R&B are on it!

‐ I'm your co‐host, R.

And always by my side is my scintillating sister

from the same mister… B!

‐ Before we bring the funk, let's have a word from our sponsor.

Today's episode is brought to you by Hugs. And The Fun Factory‐‐

‐ Hey, mind turnin' it up, bro?

B: …game‐related needs.

The Funtime Factory, official sponsor of hide 'n seek!

R: Well, sis, it's time to open up those vines

and provide our listeners with the advice they need.

B: That's right.

Years of scientific study have taught us that every problem has a solution.

And we're here to help you find it!

‐ Hello? You're on the hair.

‐ Yeah, so, I'm having an issue with my pet snake,

half the time I pick him up, he makes this aggressive hissing sound.

So I was wondering…

How do I get him to do it all the time?

R: Ok…

Unusual question, but…

BOTH: R&B are on it!

‐ According to our calculations,

you should spend exactly two minutes a day telling him how much you love his voice

‐ Hi, um…

my name is, uh…

"Brinch."

What do you do if the zipper gets stuck on your…

bunny pajamas?

Just jiggle the zipper up up‐down…

BOTH: You're welcome, Branch! BRANCH: Uh, it's, uh…

Brinch.

BOTH: Next caller!

‐ Apologize.

‐ And offer to replace it.

‐ Whatever you do…

‐ Don't pull on the gum.

[ Cooper gasps ]

I shall call you Two‐per!

[ Cooper laughs ]

‐ Joining us now, in person, Biggie!

I understand you need help?

‐ Yes.

As you know, Mr. Dinkles and I recently celebrated our friend‐iversary

and, well, we received a present from a certain Troll,

which turned out to be…

a re‐gift.

[ both gasp ]

‐ A Troll took a present they were gifted

and gave it to someone else in the guise of a new gift?

‐ I'm afraid so.

‐ Ah!

‐ Rest assured, Biggie…

BOTH: R&B are on it!

‐ That's right! Clearly the solution to your problem is…

Just let it go!

‐ Confront the re‐gifting Troll!

BOTH: What?

‐ Uh…

aren't you supposed to say the same thing?

‐ Yes, we are.

What is happening?

Are we disagreeing?

‐ Apparently so.

And I don't like it!

‐ Biggie, the re‐gift upset you.

The only way to fix this is to express your feelings

to the Troll in question.

‐ Hmm, I suppose that's true.

I think I will discuss it with them.

‐ Biggie, no!

This Troll likely meant no offense and a confrontation would embarrass them.

The only way to fix this is for you to let it go!

‐ Yes.

I guess it would be better if I gave them the benefit of the doubt.

‐ No!

This is about open and honest communication.

Whaaa! ‐ Some things are better left unsaid.

Whaaa!

‐ You deserve an explanation.

‐ It's no big deal!

‐ Ah! This is too much!

There's got to be a better way for me to decide whose advice to take!

♪

‐ Ok! We need data,

now that we're no longer on the air,

tell us what happened and give us all the details.

‐ Well, it was yesterday. 4:32 pm.

I had just used the process of elimination to determine who gave us our last gift,

because the tag fell off when Mr. Dinkles tried to eat it.

Which is a terrible habit of his and gives him the worst indigestion, but‐‐

‐ Uh… Maybe not all the details.

‐ Oh, right.

[ Biggie giggles ]

Anyway…

It was from Dante.

[ both gasp ]

BOTH: Dante?

‐ Yes.

And when I opened it, I found the exact cupcake dome

that I'd given to him to congratulate him at his big concert last week.

‐ Got it. Now, using some super‐funky predictive modeling,

I have mathematic certainty that by taking my advice

and confronting Dante, it'd go like this.

‐ My word, Biggie.

Thank you for bringing this Trolls‐pas to my attention!

It never occurred to me that a re‐gift

could so affect the feelings of a fellow Troll.

I swear to you, from now on, I will do better.

‐ Oh, my! That went well!

‐ It sure did.

And once that happens, who knows what it could lead to…

‐ And the Trolls‐bel Peace Prize goes to…

Dante Crescendo!

[ applause ]

‐ I know it's a cliche,

but I'd like to dedicate this award to a true friend,

who started me on a path of service to all Trolls‐manity,

by confronting me over a re‐gifted cupcake dome.

‐ Well, that settles it, then.

I'm going to talk to Dante.

‐ Hold up. Better double‐check your math, sis'.

'Cuz according to my calculations,

if Biggie confronts Dante, this'll be what'll happen.

‐ My… my word, Biggie. I'm so embarrassed.

I‐‐ I seem to be having trouble looking you in the eye,

I‐‐ I must go.

‐ Oh, my! That went horribly!

‐ And from there, things could only get worse.

I don't want to embarrass Dante if I don't have to.

‐ So he expressed his feelings to me, instead!

‐ And came up with a third option?

‐ Yes! And I'm glad I did!

Because by talking things out with Poppy, I learned something very important…
