- [Poppy.]
Dad? - Huh? What-What's happening? We're going through your old scrapbooks, remember? We asked you to make a donation to the Village library.
You said yes.
Oh, of course.
[chuckles.]
Well, there are plenty of classics here.
For Whom The Bell Trolls, Jayne Hair, The Complete Works of Leo Trollstoy Volume 1.
Whoa! What's this? Hey, I always wondered what happened to those.
They're the blueprints for that old sandcastle idea of yours, right? Oh, not just any sandcastle.
It was to be my legacy.
- A life-size, majestic structure.
- Whoa.
A testament to the never-quitting Troll spirit.
[Branch gasps.]
- But then I quit.
- Oh.
Yes, I couldn't quite figure out how to pull it off.
Dreamed too big, I suppose.
Ah, but sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine what might have been.
[snoring.]
Uh Dad? Yes! Nice job finding these, Branch.
He doesn't suspect a thing! [snoring.]
Ah! I can't wait to see my dad's face when we surprise him with the finished castle.
I have wanted to make his dream come true forever.
[Branch.]
The issue is the sand.
Sand could never support a structure this big until now.
Huh? See, Branch and I have spent months experimenting with sand-to-water ratios.
Not enough water, and sand won't hold together.
Too much gives you a soggy mess.
Mm-hm.
But just the right amount and anything is possible, like sand steel.
[metallic clang.]
- Ooh! - Oh, my guh.
Or sand glass.
Oh, my guh! We can even make sand gelatin.
Not that that helps us.
Point is, with a little motivation music, we'll have this castle built by lunchtime.
[whistle blares.]
[cheering.]
We did it, Trolls! Let's take a look at Oh.
People, for the last time, someone actually look at what we achieved before we high-five! Oh, my guh.
This is all we've gotten done? It's only a matter of time before my dad sees what we're doing.
We've got to brainstorm solutions, or the surprise will be ruined.
Well, we could just tell your dad what we're up to.
You know, not worry about making it a surprise? [others gasp.]
Branch, who hurt you? What we need is to speed up construction.
And for that, got to get critter-powered! Nothing digs sand faster than a kitty critter.
Yeah, but do you know why they dig in the sand? - Whoa! - No, no, no! Stop! [both groan.]
OK, we need a different critter.
See? Flying the water up should save us a bunch of time.
[both.]
Wait, Smidge! You're gonna blow the castle aw [kitty meows.]
[muffled.]
No, no, no! Poppy! Branch! We're having some issues with the local crustaceans.
They're trying to take our things to their underwater lair.
Hey! That's not yours, you weird dog! Great! Now we got to deal with finders-keepers critters, aka grabby crabs, aka the selfish shellfish.
When they work together, there's no stopping them.
[gasps.]
That's not a problem, that's a solution! [shrieks.]
Oh, my guh! Oh, my guh! Oh, my guh! [Poppy.]
Here's my proposal.
You help us finish building our sandcastle, and in return we give you this entire box of stuff.
Ooh! Stuff.
Hm.
Looks like these guys know how to drive a hard bargain.
OK, two boxes.
Ooh! More stuff.
Hm.
Biggie, ask if they'll help us.
Uh Why would I know how to talk to them? You talk to Mr.
Dinkles.
[gasps.]
Poppy, I speak worm.
It's a romance language.
These are not worms.
[Smidge.]
Um Poppy, allow me.
Smidge, you speak crab? Well, I don't speak it.
[rhythmic snapping.]
Troll-é! We've got a deal.
We got our team, now let's get to building.
Hey, I know it might look bad No end in sight Looks like we're in an uphill fight But hey! That's how it goes And what do we do when times get tough? Do we hang our heads? Do we give up? No way! We can do it We can all get through it We can do it By committing now to never quitting We don't give up Never quit, never stop Yeah, we might fail But we give all we got Because we can do anything Ooh! Get excited, Dad! When I take off this blindfold, you are in for a huge surprise.
[snoring.]
Ahem.
Dad? [gasps.]
How did I? [gasps.]
What? My castle! That's right! Just like you designed it.
Including the sand guard wall the sand fountain [chuckles.]
and even the sand ballroom, complete with sand-elier and baby sand piano.
Wow! Oh, Poppy! How did you do all this? Well, Branch and I did a ton of research, and we got help from the finders-keepers critters.
Finders-keepers critters, of course! I thought of that, too, but never figured out how to keep them from betraying me.
- Uh What's betraying who, now? - The critters.
With a sandcastle this magnificent, well, the first chance they get they would [Cooper screams.]
Whoa! [Smidge screams.]
[Branch screams.]
[Biggie screams.]
- [thud.]
- Oof! Oh, frosting! Listen, Trolls, the finders-keepers critters want to keep my dad's castle.
But we can't let them steal my dad's legacy.
We are going over that wall! [inhales and yells.]
[all yelling.]
[grunts.]
[Poppy.]
We are going some other way around that wall.
[others groaning.]
[yelling.]
Huh? [grunting.]
[Poppy.]
I think they're winning.
We give up! The castle is yours! Here is a giant gift horse with nothing inside.
Trust me.
That's a thing! [gasps.]
[all grunt.]
[laughter.]
That didn't work at all! It wasn't supposed to.
We're just the distraction.
[laughter continues.]
[yelling.]
[grunts.]
Who's next? They're burrowing away! We've won! - [cheering.]
- In your face! - [Cooper.]
Yeah! - [Poppy.]
Yeah! Work it! Congratulations, honey.
The castle is yours! No, Dad.
The castle is yours.
[rumbling.]
What's going on? Where's that sound coming from? Oh, no! The critters are trying to take the castle back to the lagoon! But once it hits the water, it will completely fall apart.
Someone has to talk some sense into them.
- Biggie? - [gasps.]
Poppy, we've been over this! - Romance language! - Right.
[gasps and grunts.]
[grunting continues.]
[shrieking.]
[grunts.]
[Branch.]
Poppy! The wall! It's gonna give way any moment! Get out of there! No! This is my dad's dream! I won't give up on it! - [King Peppy.]
Look out, Poppy! - [screams.]
Oh, I should have given up on it.
Poppy, are you OK? Yeah.
Yeah, I am.
Thanks to you.
No! Sorry, Dad.
I I messed up.
Messed up? You made my biggest dream come true.
[scoffs.]
For, like, 15 minutes.
Eh, for some dreams, that's long enough.
[sighs.]
I'm sorry we couldn't build your legacy.
Poppy, you're the greatest legacy a father could ask for.
Aw, Dad.
[sniffs.]
Thank you.
[snoring.]
Dad? [laughter.]
- [Smidge screams.]
- [laughter continues.]
[chanting.]
Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! - [cheering.]
- OK.
OK.
OK.
Whoa! Guys! Guys! I get that you're happy we're going to Poppy's monthly truth-or-dare game-day thingy, but can we please dial it back? - [both.]
OK! - [gasps and sighs.]
Sorry, Branch.
You just don't understand because you've never played.
Truth or dare is so fun! Yeah! Especially the dares.
[laughs.]
Hey, everyone! Look at me! I'm wearing pants! Me, a Glitter Troll, wearing pants! [auto-tuned.]
Wahoo! Yeah! [cackles.]
[laughter.]
OK, I got to admit, that does sound fun.
I mean, who doesn't love a good dare? [whimpering.]
[chanting.]
Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! All right, gang, I've put all of our names in this bowl.
And up first will be - Biggie! - [gulps.]
- [chanting.]
Biggie! Biggie! Biggie! - [whimpers.]
OK, Biggie, the question we've all been waiting for.
Truth [Guy and Smidge grunting.]
or cupcake? Huh? Did you say "truth or cupcake"? Yeah, because I can tell you don't like dares.
- [gasps.]
- [both.]
What? [scoffs.]
Not like dares.
[chuckles.]
Poppy, I I don't know what you mean.
[sheepish laugh.]
Really? Because you always pick truth.
Not always.
Truth! I choose truth.
My gut says truth.
You know, this time I'll pick dare.
Huh? No, no, no.
I can't.
One hundred percent truth.
[groaning.]
OK, yes, always.
But you guys adore truth or dare.
I don't want you to not play because of me.
[scoffs.]
Please, it's just a game.
Not a big deal.
Right, guys? Sorry, Poppy, I know you want us to cheer right now, but it absolutely is a big deal.
Yeah, you're not being emotionally honest.
[chuckles.]
Wow.
[sucks teeth.]
That went badly.
Allow me to rephrase.
Not playing is disappointing, but we all make sacrifices for the people we love sometimes.
And we love Biggie.
Better? [both.]
Better! Al right, let's get our cupcake on! Truth or cupcake? - Cupcake! - Truth or cupcake? - Cupcake! - Cupcake! Cupcake.
[all.]
Hm.
Actually, this game is terrible.
OK, shut it down! Meet here tomorrow and I'll have a new game, like [gasps.]
truth or ice cream.
No! Truth or brownies.
No.
Truth or belly button lint.
Ew, gross.
No! - Huh? - I will not let this game be ruined.
When we meet tomorrow, we're playing truth or dare as always.
Only this time I'm picking dare.
[both gasp.]
[chanting.]
Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! [auto-tuned.]
Truth or dare.
Really, Biggie? Are you sure that's what you want to do? Yes.
All I need is a little help preparing for it.
And I know just the Troll to ask.
Me? I'm the Troll you meant? Actually, I meant Sky Toronto, but he was busy.
- Oh.
- Then I tried Harper.
Then Tug Duluth, Mags, and King Peppy, then back to Sky Toronto again, until I finally came here.
Well, you clearly don't need help with truth.
Please, Branch.
I don't want to let down the others.
However tough the dare is tomorrow, I have to be sure I can complete it.
Relax.
All you need is to get a little experience under your belt.
The three most common dares are: eat something gross, pull a crazy stunt, and do something to embarrass yourself.
First up, eat an entire jar of dehydrated snail slime.
W-Why? What does it taste like? Only one way to find out.
[whimpering.]
[groans.]
[munching.]
Hm? See? Dares are nothing to be afraid of.
Actually, when it's dehydrated, snail slime's not half bad.
Mm.
A little dry, though.
No! Don't do that or you'll rehydrate it! [screaming.]
OK, onto "pull a crazy stunt.
" Biggie, I dare you to do a cannonball off Cannonball Cliff.
[bird squawks.]
- [whimpers.]
- It's easy! Just don't look down! Whoa! [laughs.]
Just don't look down.
Don't look down.
Don't look down.
[screams.]
I looked down! I looked down! All right, third dare's the charm.
"Do something embarrassing.
" Now, get in there.
[inhales and exhales.]
Welcome, Gia.
Seven-layer dip goes to serving table three.
And, Biggie, what food did you bring? - I didn't bring any food to the potluck.
- [others gasp.]
[yells.]
What kind of savage doesn't bring any food to a potluck? At least bring some chips, you monster! [whimpering.]
I'm sorry! I'll go get something right away! [whimpers.]
- [panting.]
- Ha! You did it! Wasn't that great? No! It was horrible! I'll never be able to do a dare! I brought some mac and cheese! [sighs.]
Tomorrow's gonna be rough.
[chanting.]
Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! All right, Biggie, it's truth-or-dare time.
But, honestly, we can find something else to play.
You don't have to do this.
No, I do, for everyone's fun.
Dare.
[both.]
Yeah! So be it.
This one is a true classic.
Biggie, I dare you - [gulps.]
- [chanting.]
Dare, dare, dare.
to swipe the statue of Dare-lene J.
McGuffin! - [gasps.]
- Ooh! Wait, who? Dare-lene J.
McGuffin, the most daring Troll that ever lived.
[Guy.]
Once on a dare, she shaved her head bald while eating six chili peppers, and telling a total stranger she had a crush on them! Her final wish was that they build a memorial featuring a statue in her own likeness, just so Trolls could dare each other to take it.
Biggie, all you have to do is go grab the statue and bring it back to me, without getting caught.
Let's do this.
[chanting.]
Dare! Dare! Dare! Dare! Dare! Dare! [gasps.]
Come on, come on, come on.
[sighs.]
He's got it! What? [alarm wailing.]
He's stealing the statue that was meant to be stolen! Oh! That scoundrel! Biggie, quick, bring it to me! I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it! [gasps.]
Don't you dare! [in unison.]
Dare-lene J.
McGuffin? [whimpers.]
Wait, she's still alive? Of course she's still alive, Branch.
Why would you assume otherwise? Because of everything you said! Because she has a memorial! I really think you're reading too far into things.
[Guy and Smidge.]
Mm-hm.
[whimpering.]
- [screams.]
- [Dare-lene.]
Get back here! [Biggie shrieks.]
I said, get back here! Whoa! [Dare-lene screams.]
[shrieks.]
Ow! Ow! Oof! [giggles.]
Not this time.
[groans.]
Biggie, this is getting out of hand.
You don't have to finish the dare.
No, I won't let you down.
[grunts.]
[Dare-lene.]
That was a good one! Ha! I've got it! Free and clear! My statue! Get back here! [burps.]
No, no, no! [gasps.]
It fell into S'mores Lake! - Aw - [wind gusts.]
Then it's gone for good now.
I'm so sorry, Biggie.
Don't be.
I am not backing out on this dare! Someone get me some fireproof swim trunks! [Guy.]
Are you mad? [grunting.]
Biggie, you know I don't like doing this, but I am playing my queen card.
This dare is over.
No, I can't be the reason you don't play your game.
I can't! [sighs.]
But I will give you another dare in its place.
Really? Yes.
And here it is.
Biggie we all love you, and there is no game that we wouldn't give up to spend time with you.
Your dare is to stop and accept that.
You mean it? - You know it, boy! - Oh, my guh, yes.
Wow.
But, you know, now that I've tried it I think I like dares.
Huh? [chanting.]
Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! [in unison.]
Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Dare-lene for the win!
