Troll-cyclopedia Scrapbook, Volume 31, chapter seven: The Origin of Troll Gems.
On the day a Troll baby gets its first hair it's cut.
And then it's planted like a seed in the Gem Garden and fertilized.
- [grunts.]
- Uh Not fertilized like that.
- [whines.]
- Fertilized with joy! [cheering.]
As the Troll's joy grows, the seed grows too, until, one day, a flower blooms, revealing their unique Troll Gem inside.
[cheering.]
- [Trolls gasp.]
- [giggles.]
After that, I present the gem to the Troll before the whole Village to honor them for embracing their joy.
Is it true that your gem glows when it hears you sing? I don't know.
You tell me.
[sings high note.]
[kids.]
Ooh! When will we get ours, Queen Poppy? Won't be long now.
Most Trolls' gems bloom right around your age.
Though, sometimes it does take a little longer.
[Branch.]
Poppy! Did you hear? Meadow Spriggs says my gem sprouted this morning.
[giggles.]
Yeah, of course I heard, Branch! He's what we call a "late bloomer.
" It's blowing my mind.
I'm getting a Troll Gem.
Me, the Village grouch! Hey, no one thinks you're the Village grouch.
They think you're the Village grump.
Sure, fair.
Fair point.
All I mean is, I did it.
I actually became a joyful person.
You did, Branch.
And I'm so proud of you.
So, I'm gonna make sure that tonight you get a Gem Day Ceremony that shows how big a deal this is.
Oh, Poppy, you spoil me.
But it is a big deal, so I'll be paying close attention.
- Hm? - [laughs.]
I'm just kidding.
Come here, you! Aw! But this day is super important.
OK, see you soon! Trust me, Queen Poppy, per your request, I've made sure this Gem Day will be a tremendous success.
First, I ordered Klaus to design the best-tasting cupcake he ever has or ever will make and he did.
It's the perfect Gem Day dessert! Dessert? Queen Poppy, if I had any spare time, I'd chuckle at that remark.
This isn't the dessert.
It's the invitation.
- [party horn honks.]
- You're invited! Get out! I will not.
Baked into every cupcake is a gummy replica of Branch's gem.
This is crazy! They're almost identical.
[gasps.]
Wow! I'm I'm just so impressed.
Now, let's talk presentation boxes for the real gem.
Whoa! [low-pitch scream.]
Squish? A gummy one? Then the real gem is [gasps.]
Last one.
- The gem! - Excellent.
Every invitation shipped to the Village ahead of schedule.
- Uh You were saying? - [screams.]
[sighs.]
Thanks for coming to help, guys.
Branch's gem is lost in a cupcake somewhere in the Village, so we have to check them all before anyone eats theirs.
Got it.
[yells.]
Emergency announcement! Shh-shh! C-Cooper! I don't want anyone knowing about this.
If Branch catches wind, it will ruin his special day.
Just split up and check the cupcakes as fast as you can.
Go, team! Hey, Bella.
Mind if I see your cupcake? You don't? Great! Thanks! Love you! Bye! Cupcake inspector! Hm.
Everything appears to be in order.
As you were.
Phew! That's a relief.
May I? Do you mind? Thanks for your cooperation.
[Biggie.]
Why, yes, Mr.
Dinkles, of course you can have the first bite.
Whoa! Dinkles, hold up! [screams.]
- Phew! [chuckles.]
- [gasps.]
[onlookers gasp.]
Poppy, why did you do that? Branch! Why did I do it? Because um Uh Because slapping cupcakes is the newest craze.
Everyone's doing it! Really? Because that sounds [auto-tuned.]
Slap-tastic! We got us an old-fashioned cupcake-slapping on our hands! - Yee-haw! - [cheering.]
Oh, I suddenly regret this.
Whoo! This cupcake is done for! Cupcake-slapping? Uh I don't get it.
- [cheering.]
- Wahoo! Actually, never mind! I totally do! Cupcake-slapping for life! Wahoo! [laughs.]
Uh Maybe it's just me, but it sort of seems like we made finding the gem way harder.
New plan.
[cassette whirs.]
[Branch.]
Oh, sorry There.
As requested, one of Branch's songs from my archives.
It's perfect, DJ.
A gem glows when it hears its owner singing, so [Branch's singing blares.]
[gasps.]
There! We found it! - Yay! - Yeah! Cupcake slap! [low-pitch.]
No! [gasps.]
I've never heard a cupcake shatter before.
Bonus! I mean, there might be hope.
[gasps.]
I mean, it might be OK.
[gasps.]
- I mean - Cooper! No.
No, no, no, no, no! I ruined Branch's Troll Gem.
He's gonna be crushed.
[sighs.]
- Perhaps not.
- [others.]
King Peppy? If you plant another strand of Branch's hair, it's possible to grow a brand-new gem.
But for it to blossom in time for the ceremony, Branch would need to feel a burst of overwhelming joy like he's never experienced before.
Now, if you don't mind, I'll disappear back into the shadows.
[spookily.]
Ooh! OK.
To the ceremony! Where are they? - Branch! - Poppy, where have you been? Putting on my ceremonial garb, just like you.
[gasps.]
We have got to get a picture of you, by the way.
You really want to do this now? We're supposed to start the ceremony.
[Poppy.]
Yeah, it's OK, Branch.
Just smile for the camera.
Smile.
Smile harder.
Yow! - What was that? - [Poppy.]
Branch, cheese! [groans.]
[grunts.]
Great picture, Branch.
You look nice.
Thanks.
That makes me feel good.
Good? As in, joyful? I mean, I guess I'm a little In that case, Branch, allow me to reiterate: you look really nice.
[Cooper.]
Yeah.
Branch, you look so nice, I could stare at you all night.
Uh That makes me feel awkward? [grunting.]
"Awkward"? Well, we can't have that on your big night.
You're supposed to be feeling joy! Ha-ha! Yeah! And you know what makes me feel joy, Branch? Babies playing with puppies! [giggles.]
- We love you, Branch! - [yapping.]
[Poppy and Smidge.]
Aw! What? Poppy, what is going on? OK, Branch, I didn't want it to come to this, but it's time to bring out the big funs.
Tickle, tickle, tickle! [laughter continues.]
[giggling.]
OK, enough! Guys, please! I'll admit that was delightful, but now is not the time.
Why are you acting so weird? Um Oh, my guh.
[sighs.]
We are acting weird, and it's because I lost your gem.
[gasps.]
You lost my gem? But then we found it! Oh! But then it shattered into a million pieces.
Oh.
I'm really sorry.
I know how much today means to you, and you can't have a Gem Day without a gem, so take mine.
What? It's not as good as having yours, but at least you'll always have a reminder of all you've accomplished.
Poppy, no.
This is too important to you.
You can't give me your gem.
Yeah, Poppy, you shouldn't do that.
Take my gem, Branch.
No.
Take mine, Branch.
No, dude, take mine.
Guys, really? You deserve this, Branch.
You worked a lot harder to get your gem than we did.
You're the last Troll that should go without one, dude.
Come on, Branch.
I I can't believe this.
It makes me feel so much so much [Smidge.]
Oh, my guh! Branch, it is my honor as your queen, and as your friend, to present you with your gem.
May it always shine as bright as your joyful spirit.
[sings note.]
[sings note.]
[harmonizing continues.]
[Poppy.]
It's not just bowling.
It's not just pinball.
[bell ringing.]
It's the Bumper Bullseye Ball Championship! It's Branch and Biggie versus Creek and Aspen, trading bullseye after bullseye.
Creek with a finesse shot.
[crowd gasps.]
Mwah! [blows.]
- [bell ringing.]
- [Poppy.]
Bullseye! [chuckling.]
If Branch can hit a bullseye with either of his last two rolls, his team wins.
Believe in yourself, Branch.
This game is 10% swing for the fence, 90% confidence.
Uh-huh.
- Ten percent roll, 90% Troll.
- I got it.
Ten percent ball, 90% give it your all.
- Biggie, I get it.
- Ten percent Biggie! Don't worry, we've got this one in the hair.
- So, just wish me luck and Huh? - [squish.]
Oh, man! I stepped on a muffin.
Oh, no! What? What's wrong? Haven't you heard, Branch? Stepping on a muffin is bad luck.
And right before your big shot, too.
Darn.
That's ridiculous.
There's no such thing as luck.
Oh, I hope you're right, Branch.
I'd hate for you to get jinxed.
Nothing worse than a jinx, except maybe a jinxed Troll who gets jinxed by yet another jinx.
Stop saying that word.
Which word? "Jinx"? I'll stop saying "jinx," if "jinx" is the word that's bothering you.
Is it "jinx," Branch? Is it "jinx"? Is it "jinx"? Is it "jinx"? Is it "jinx"? Is it "jinx"? - Jinx, jinx, jinx.
Is it "jinx"? - [groans.]
Knock it off! You are just trying to get in my head, because you know we're gonna win.
Wait! Um Branch [chuckles.]
I hear that you don't believe in luck.
But maybe, since the entire game is in your hands, you could call time-out and go visit Cybil, the Village mystic.
Cybil? Oh, please! There's nothing mystical about her.
All she does is point out the obvious.
You are a Troll who loves to party.
[gasps.]
You're right! And you love hug time.
Oh! I do! And you have a worm for a best friend.
Oh, incredible! I don't know what you mean.
Trust me, Biggie.
This superstition stuff is just a bunch of nonsense.
- [squish.]
- Huh? [yells.]
Who keeps leaving these here? Oh, forget it! [sighs.]
Don't let it get to you.
- Jinx! - [grunts.]
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on! - [bird squawks.]
- What? Random critter interference.
Bad luck.
Tough break, mate.
Not the outcome any of us wanted.
[stifled laughter.]
- Jinx! - [groans.]
I am not jinxed! Time out! [whistle blows.]
I'm going to the bumper ball bush to get a ball.
Then I will hit the winning shot because there is no such thing as bad luck.
[squish.]
Come on! Branch's time-out means the game resumes in two hours.
That may seem excessive, but it's the perfect amount for a time-out party! [cheering.]
[groans.]
Branch, hey, wait up! Are you OK? I'm fine.
Just [groans.]
You don't believe in bad luck, do you? Hm.
I believe in cupcakes.
I believe there is a right way to throw a squishball.
I believe that you comb your hair from the bottom, not the top.
I believe in the Marshtato Fairy, peppermint cocoa, that scratch-and-sniff scrapbooks are underrated.
And I believe in long, warm hugs that last three days.
But bad luck? No.
Yeah, exactly.
Everyone else has this crazy idea that I'm jinxed, just because I stepped on a muffin.
[shrieks.]
You should go see Cybil! What? You just said you don't believe in bad luck.
Well, yeah, but I've got layers, Branch, OK? Contradictions makes me endearing.
Yeah, you are pretty endearing.
Look, Branch, it's fine if you don't believe in luck.
But you do seem pretty worked up about this.
Maybe going to Cybil would help? Worked up? I am not worked up, because there's nothing to be worked up about.
If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna get a new ball.
[grunting continues.]
[panting.]
Ha! See? No such thing as [screams.]
[grunts.]
Want to see Cybil now? That was a coincidence.
[Poppy screams.]
Double coincidence? [Poppy screams.]
Fine, we'll go see Cybil.
[Cybil.]
Welcome.
I foresee you are here to invite me to a party.
Whoa! - She's good.
- What? That's not why we're here.
Well, it's not the only reason.
- [party horn honks.]
- Come to our party! That proves nothing.
You're always inviting people to parties.
[Cybil.]
Mm.
But I sense there is another reason for your visit.
Two for two! You're good.
I literally just told her that.
Look, I stepped on a muffin, and even though it's insane [groans.]
I think it jinxed me.
- Ah.
And you seek my help.
- [Poppy gasps.]
- [mimics explosion.]
- [groans.]
Obviously.
Well, let me tell you, only a good-luck charm can ward off a jinx! Perfect! Hand one over.
Ooh.
I predict that I don't have any good luck charms here.
That is not a prediction.
And I sense we will all go search for one together.
[mystical moaning.]
Now you're just saying what you're gonna do! [giggles.]
Goosebumps! [bellowing.]
This is where I could get my good-luck charm? Indeed.
I see you finding a four-leaf clover here.
[muttering.]
Stupid bad luck.
Seriously? I've got an hour left to get back to the game.
- This could take all day! - [bellows.]
[gasps.]
A four-leaf clover! Oh, no, you don't! - I got one! - [bellows.]
[screaming.]
[screams.]
[grunts.]
Ha! A four-leaf clover.
[groans.]
I predict disappointment.
Branch, are you OK? I'm fine.
What's next? A rainbow gem is the luckiest of all stones.
There! [Branch panting.]
[grunting.]
Yes! Huh? No, no, no, no, no! [screams.]
[Poppy screams.]
- [Branch.]
Still got it.
- [bird squawks.]
Uh Branch, I'm not sure this is a good idea anymore.
[Branch.]
Next.
- [groans.]
We're running out of time.
- Not to worry.
All you have to do is catch a golden cricket.
I have foreseen that this is where you will finally succeed.
Then why didn't we start here? [sighs.]
Fine, whatever.
Golden cricket.
Keep your eyes peeled.
They tend to blend in with their environment.
Ah.
No, you're thinking of the spotted golden cricket.
I meant the western mountain golden cricket.
What? [grunts.]
Whoa! [hisses.]
- Whoa! - Abort, Branch! Abort! No! You're coming with me, good-luck charm! [yelling.]
[grunting continues.]
[hisses.]
[screams.]
[grunts.]
- [yelling.]
- Branch! - [cricket hisses.]
- [screams.]
- [grunts.]
- [gasps.]
- [yelling.]
- Branch, wait! [panting and grunting.]
Give up! You're coming with me! To make sure I win a recreational activity! [grunting.]
Branch, you've got to stop! I can't! I'm jinxed! We don't know that! But you're the one who insisted we go to Cybil! - [hisses.]
- [screams.]
Yes, but I thought it might help you ease your mind! Does this look like it's helping at all? [hisses.]
No.
[hisses.]
Look, Branch, I don't know for sure if there is such a thing as luck or jinxes or charms, but I know you getting so bent out of shape about it doesn't do any good, right? Yeah, I guess you're right.
[grunts.]
Oh, I knew this would happen.
No, you didn't! [Poppy.]
Well, Trolls, time-out is over, and Branch lines up for the big shot.
[crowd cheering.]
Did you go to see Cybil? Did you get rid of the jinx? Doesn't matter.
I got this.
[inhales and exhales.]
- [squeaks.]
- [crowd gasps.]
Wait for it.
[gasps.]
- [gasps.]
- Wait for it.
[screams.]
Wait for it.
[whimpers.]
[both.]
Wait for it! [crowd groans.]
Huh.
Oh, well.
Sorry, Biggie.
[Creek.]
Wahoo! Oh, I told you you were jinxed, you jinx boy! Oh, yeah, did you see that? Does it hurt right here? Ha-ha! [chuckling.]
Whoa! [grunts.]
- [bell ringing.]
- [Poppy.]
Bullseye! [both cheering.]
Team Branch wins! It's a Bumper Bullseye Ball victory for the scrapbooks! What? This cannot be.
[cheering.]
Well, it looks like my luck has finally turned around.
Don't worry, Creek.
I know just where you could find a golden cricket.
[both laugh.]
[Biggie laughs.]
I don't get that reference.
I did not see that coming.
[Creek grunts.]

Phew! That's a relief.
May I? Do you mind? Thanks for your cooperation.
[Biggie.]
Why, yes, Mr.

Tickle, tickle, tickle! [laughter continues.]
[giggling.]
OK, enough! Guys, please! I'll admit that was delightful, but now is not the time.
Why are you acting so weird? Um Oh, my guh.
[sighs.]
We are acting weird, and it's because I lost your gem.
[gasps.]
You lost my gem? But then we found it! Oh! But then it shattered into a million pieces.
Oh.

You worked a lot harder to get your gem than we did.
You're the last Troll that should go without one, dude.
Come on, Branch.
I I can't believe this.
It makes me feel so much so much [Smidge.]
Oh, my guh! Branch, it is my honor as your queen, and as your friend, to present you with your gem.
May it always shine as bright as your joyful spirit.

- Ten percent Biggie! Don't worry, we've got this one in the hair.
- So, just wish me luck and Huh? - [squish.]
Oh, man! I stepped on a muffin.
Oh, no! What? What's wrong? Haven't you heard, Branch? Stepping on a muffin is bad luck.
And right before your big shot, too.
Darn.
That's ridiculous.
There's no such thing as luck.

- Jinx! - [grunts.]
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on! - [bird squawks.]
- What? Random critter interference.
Bad luck.
Tough break, mate.
Not the outcome any of us wanted.
[stifled laughter.]
- Jinx! - [groans.]
I am not jinxed! Time out! [whistle blows.]
I'm going to the bumper ball bush to get a ball.
Then I will hit the winning shot because there is no such thing as bad luck.
[squish.]
Come on! Branch's time-out means the game resumes in two hours.
That may seem excessive, but it's the perfect amount for a time-out party! [cheering.]
[groans.]
Branch, hey, wait up! Are you OK? I'm fine.
Just [groans.]
You don't believe in bad luck, do you? Hm.
I believe in cupcakes.
I believe there is a right way to throw a squishball.
I believe that you comb your hair from the bottom, not the top.
I believe in the Marshtato Fairy, peppermint cocoa, that scratch-and-sniff scrapbooks are underrated.
And I believe in long, warm hugs that last three days.
But bad luck? No.
Yeah, exactly.
Everyone else has this crazy idea that I'm jinxed, just because I stepped on a muffin.
[shrieks.]
You should go see Cybil! What? You just said you don't believe in bad luck.
Well, yeah, but I've got layers, Branch, OK? Contradictions makes me endearing.
Yeah, you are pretty endearing.
Look, Branch, it's fine if you don't believe in luck.
But you do seem pretty worked up about this.
Maybe going to Cybil would help? Worked up? I am not worked up, because there's nothing to be worked up about.
If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna get a new ball.
[grunting continues.]
[panting.]
Ha! See? No such thing as [screams.]
[grunts.]
Want to see Cybil now? That was a coincidence.
[Poppy screams.]
Double coincidence? [Poppy screams.]
Fine, we'll go see Cybil.
[Cybil.]
Welcome.
I foresee you are here to invite me to a party.
Whoa! - She's good.
- What? That's not why we're here.
Well, it's not the only reason.
- [party horn honks.]
- Come to our party! That proves nothing.
You're always inviting people to parties.
[Cybil.]
Mm.
But I sense there is another reason for your visit.
Two for two! You're good.
I literally just told her that.
Look, I stepped on a muffin, and even though it's insane [groans.]
I think it jinxed me.
- Ah.
And you seek my help.
- [Poppy gasps.]
- [mimics explosion.]
- [groans.]
Obviously.
Well, let me tell you, only a good-luck charm can ward off a jinx! Perfect! Hand one over.
Ooh.
I predict that I don't have any good luck charms here.
That is not a prediction.
And I sense we will all go search for one together.
[mystical moaning.]
Now you're just saying what you're gonna do! [giggles.]
Goosebumps! [bellowing.]
This is where I could get my good-luck charm? Indeed.
I see you finding a four-leaf clover here.
[muttering.]
Stupid bad luck.
Seriously? I've got an hour left to get back to the game.
- This could take all day! - [bellows.]
[gasps.]
A four-leaf clover! Oh, no, you don't! - I got one! - [bellows.]
[screaming.]
[screams.]
[grunts.]
Ha! A four-leaf clover.
[groans.]
I predict disappointment.
Branch, are you OK? I'm fine.
What's next? A rainbow gem is the luckiest of all stones.
There! [Branch panting.]
[grunting.]
Yes! Huh? No, no, no, no, no! [screams.]
[Poppy screams.]
- [Branch.]
Still got it.
- [bird squawks.]
Uh Branch, I'm not sure this is a good idea anymore.
[Branch.]
Next.
- [groans.]
We're running out of time.
- Not to worry.
All you have to do is catch a golden cricket.
I have foreseen that this is where you will finally succeed.
Then why didn't we start here? [sighs.]
Fine, whatever.
Golden cricket.
Keep your eyes peeled.
They tend to blend in with their environment.
Ah.
No, you're thinking of the spotted golden cricket.
I meant the western mountain golden cricket.
What? [grunts.]
Whoa! [hisses.]
- Whoa! - Abort, Branch! Abort! No! You're coming with me, good-luck charm! [yelling.]
[grunting continues.]
[hisses.]
[screams.]
[grunts.]
- [yelling.]
- Branch! - [cricket hisses.]
- [screams.]
- [grunts.]
- [gasps.]
- [yelling.]
- Branch, wait! [panting and grunting.]
Give up! You're coming with me! To make sure I win a recreational activity! [grunting.]
Branch, you've got to stop! I can't! I'm jinxed! We don't know that! But you're the one who insisted we go to Cybil! - [hisses.]
- [screams.]
Yes, but I thought it might help you ease your mind! Does this look like it's helping at all? [hisses.]
No.
[hisses.]
Look, Branch, I don't know for sure if there is such a thing as luck or jinxes or charms, but I know you getting so bent out of shape about it doesn't do any good, right? Yeah, I guess you're right.
[grunts.]
Oh, I knew this would happen.
No, you didn't! [Poppy.]
Well, Trolls, time-out is over, and Branch lines up for the big shot.
[crowd cheering.]
Did you go to see Cybil? Did you get rid of the jinx? Doesn't matter.
I got this.
[inhales and exhales.]
- [squeaks.]
- [crowd gasps.]
Wait for it.
[gasps.]
- [gasps.]
- Wait for it.
[screams.]
Wait for it.
[whimpers.]
[both.]
Wait for it! [crowd groans.]
Huh.
Oh, well.
Sorry, Biggie.
[Creek.]
Wahoo! Oh, I told you you were jinxed, you jinx boy! Oh, yeah, did you see that? Does it hurt right here? Ha-ha! [chuckling.]
Whoa! [grunts.]
- [bell ringing.]
- [Poppy.]
Bullseye! [both cheering.]
Team Branch wins! It's a Bumper Bullseye Ball victory for the scrapbooks! What? This cannot be.
[cheering.]
Well, it looks like my luck has finally turned around.
Don't worry, Creek.
I know just where you could find a golden cricket.
[both laugh.]
[Biggie laughs.]
I don't get that reference.
I did not see that coming.
[Creek grunts.]
