After the thrilling and welcoming performance of the Troll Leaders, the mood was set for the party. The performers thank us for all the appreciation and bow down to the crowd. The trolls were already socializing and getting to know the newcomers such as the Putt Putt Trolls and the very few Vacay Islanders. Individuals with common interests were getting their chance to interact. Barb and Floyd were bonding over their interest in gothic culture. Hickory spoke to Clay about the measurements of protection the Putt-Putt trolls had. Spruce bonded with King Peppy, Essence, Quincy, and Thrash? about parenting along with a sugar-rushed Cloud Guy. John Dory was having a nice chat about synchrony with Trollzart. 

"Stay alert. BROZONE will be performing in an hour!" Mr. Dinkles announced with the deepest voice with a microphone.

Branch was glad to see everyone having fun, however, he was unsure about the decision he was about to take that night. He stared at the ring in secret when suddenly Hickory and Clay went after him to talk. Hickory smirked in happiness, "Is that a proposal I smell?"

"That is exactly what you're smelling." Branch hid the ring in his vest again, "And what is wrong with it?"

"Nothin' I was just surprised to hear you had the guts to do it." Hickory pulled Branch by his shoulders and gave him a manly man-hug, "I bet two strudels that you'd do it. Dickory always doubted it."

"Wait." Branch glared at Clay, who was busy eating Hickory's homemade apple strudels, "Clay, you can't go around just telling people."

Clay replied with a mouthful in an innocent tone, "I didn't tell everyone. I told Hick. He's my bro."

Branch took a deep sigh to soothe himself down, he was still getting used to his brothers' own personalities and style. He breathed slowly and reminded himself carefully, "I am not the control freak in the family. I am NOT the control freak in the family."

"Now that you put anxiety to sleep, listen to me." Hickory approached him in a mentor-like way and began to give him some classic Hickory advice, "Be yourself. That's what she likes about you. And if you think what you have planned is bad, that means it'll be just enough. Just a reminder that we are our biggest critics."

Clay nodded respectfully to him. Branch felt a much calmer hush in his mind, "Wow you really know how to put people at ease."

"It's my thing." Hickory winked at Branch before running after Dickory, who was eating all of the food they brought, "Break a leg pal. I gotta deal with somethin' first."

Soon the two brothers were joined by the three other members, who were there to support Branch. Floyd came up to Branch and explained, "Hey B. We're on our way to the dressing room to rehearse a bit and get ready for the performance, but first we wanted to know if you're comfortable with this decision and IF you need our support when the time comes."

"I really appreciate your empathy guys but I honestly think I'm ready to do this." Branch felt so much love from this movement, he wasn't used to this happening. It only ever happened with Poppy since he didn't show his vulnerable side that much to other trolls, "Thank you guys."

"We love you kid." Spruce kissed Branch's forehead in a surfer-like manner, "It's gonna be as easy as riding a bike."

"We'll be waiting." John punched Branch playfully before heading backstage with the other brothers. Branch observed proudly, but before doing it he had to call for his backup.

On the dance floor, Poppy and Viva had the brightest smile on their faces as they observed their success. DJ Suki was playing the craziest, most thrilling tunes with her Woofer Bug and Trollex assisted her with crowd-pleasing beatdrops. Legsly swung around upside down holding an out-of-character Guy Diamond to simulate a disco ball,  "SPARKLES FOR EVERYONE!" Legsly squeezed Guy Diamond and sprinkled glitter all across the floor.

The glitter spread all over the trolls of different tribes, Poppy and Viva threw it up in the air and laid down on the floor doing glitter angels together living the childhood they never got together. 

The sisters were left a bit isolated from all the fun at the party and chose to have a bonding moment with each other. Viva let out a cheerful laugh, "Oh I wish we could do this forever and ever!"

"Me too!" Poppy agreed with her out of her enthusiastic persona, but suddenly she got reminded of a thought she was keeping to herself almost all day and wanted to bring it up again for some closure, "Hey sis, uhm can I ask you about something?"

Viva glanced at her shrugging it off and allowing her to make the question, "Yeah sure."

"You know that thing about uh..." Poppy struggled to put it into words and she noticed Viva's expression had been altered to negative. She didn't even have to finish the sentence as her older sister already knew, "Mom."

"Yes well uhm..." Poppy stood up and rubbed her hands together, trying to reason with her, "I still don't understand what exactly happened to her and why you and Dad are SO against the idea of speaking-"

"There is nothing to talk about that woman." Viva responded with a drier tone, something similar to what Poppy first heard back in Hole 'n Fun when she was insecure about leaving her home. Poppy knew it wasn't right but she went for it anyway, "I am tired of secrets. I want to know the truth. It wouldn't hurt so bad now wo-"

"POPPY ENOUGH!" Viva screamed at her sister with an unexpected amount of rage, she regretted it as soon as it happened but she knew she was not the one who was supposed to be apologizing.

Viva walked away from the discussion with no conclusion at all, leaving Poppy distraught and out of herself mentally. Meanwhile still on the road, Bridget and Gristle were already settled upon their differences for now. Somehow the two were making out while riding a motorbike, the strange critter that's been following them got too close and Gristle got triggered by the critter assuming it was a fly, he slapped it away making it lose its track.
