~At DreamWorks Animation Studios, California~

Inside The Campus Of The Studio, A Board Meeting Was Held With A Group Of Character Art Designers For The Trolls Franchise.

The 4 Art Designers Of Trolls Sat Around A Table With Their Paperwork And Sheets, Waiting For Their Presenter.

The New Investor Of The Trolls Franchise Named Sergei, (Played & Portrayed By "Jim Carrey"), Walked In The Room, Ready To Present.

"Hello Hello Helloooo, Good Morning Ladies And Gentlemen, If Men Are Even Gentle Anymore"
Sergei Greeted.

"Good Morning!"
The Art Designing Team Greeted Back.

"I Am Sergei, And As You Might've Heard, I'm The Soon To Be New Investor For The Entire Trolls Franchise And I Have A Grand Operatic Presentation To Show You All!"
Sergei Said

"There Will Be A Opera Portion Of The Presentation?!"
One Of The Designers Stood Up, Excited.

"No, Sit Down Casual Shirt With Low Self Esteem-"
Sergei Said.

"Oh.."
The Designer Sat Back Down.

"Now, My Assistant Jerry Will Bring In My New Idea Designs For The Next Chapter Of The Trolls That I Think Will Amaze Your Balls As In The Context Of Amazeballs- JERRY!"
Sergei Called Out.

Jerry, Sergei's Assistant, Rushed In The Room With Boards.
"I'M HERE, I'M HERE!"

"Place Up My Idea Designs On The Wall For These Fine Artists"
Sergei Instructed.

Jerry Put Up Both Boards Up Against The Wall To Hang Up The Newest Character Designs Of The Trolls.

One Of The Boards Had Up The Title Logo For "Trolls: Apocatopia", While The Other Board Had Up The Apocalypse Style Designs For Poppy & Branch.

"OOOOOH!"
The Design Team Gazed At The Boards.

"Is This Your Presenting Stick Ma'am?"
Sergei Pointed.

"Yes It Is"
The Lady Designer Nodded.

"Yeah Well Sucks To Be You-"
Sergei Took The Presenting Stick.

Sergei Walked Up To The Front.
"Now To Begin, To Show Off The Brand New Logo For The Next Installment Of The Trolls Called...Apocatopia"

"A p o c a t o p i a a a a a . . ."
Jerry Waved His Hands And Said Mystically.

"Did I Say Do The Mystical Effect?"
Sergei Questioned.

"Well I Uh-"
Jerry Said.

"THEN DON'T DO IT!"
Sergei Replied.

"Apocatopia .____."
Jerry Said Casually And Walked To The Corner.

"I Really Enjoy That Flame Effect On The Title"
Another Designer Said.

"Well We Wanted To Really Capture The Feel Of A Mad Max Style Even If It Is Copyrighted BUT HEY THIS IS DREAMWORKS AND WE SHALL MAKE THIS DREAM.....Work"
Sergei Said.

"W o r k . . .
W o r k . . .
W o r k . . ."
Jerry Added Another Mystical Effect.

"-.-"
Sergei Glared Over At Jerry.

"Uhm"
Jerry Cleared His Throat And Looked Away.

"Moving On To The Actual New Troll Designs. And I Used Our Main Characters, Poppy & Branch, In This Example As You Can See"
Sergei Gestured.

"OOOOOOOH"
The Designers Looked Up At The Designs And Noted Down What They Saw.

"To Stick With Our Apocalyptic Feel, We Gave Poppy A Shoulder Pad With A New Dress Outfit, As Well As A New Hardcore Queenly Crown."
Sergei Explained.

"And As For Branch, Gave Him A More Muscular Outlook, With New Silver & Black Amor, Rugged Pants And As Well As A Gary Implanted On His Chest Cause Ya Know, Gotta Have Some Kind Of Reference To The Spin Off Show Amirite? Don't Wanna Leave That Uncannon"
Sergeu Chuckled.

"But I Heard That The Beat Goes On Wasn't Canon With The Films?"
One Of The Designers Mentioned.

"Well Some Dream Of That Show To Be Canon, And We Shall Make That Dream......Wait For It....Wait For It..."
Sergei Said.

"?"
The Designers Raised Their Eyebrows.

".....Work"
Sergei Finished Off Using A Mystical Tone.

"OHHH"
The Designers Grinned And Nodded.

Jerry Scoffed, Wishing He Could've Did The Mystical Effect.
"Pfft-"

The Designers All Clapped For The Presentation.
"👏👏👏"

"Fabulous And Intriguing Presentation Sergei!"
One Of The Designers Complimented.

"Ah, It's What I Do. Investing With Your Interests As The Nobody Ever Would Say"
Sergei Winked.

"We'll Have Some More Concepts And Models Of These Apocalypse Designs For You By Tomorrow"
Another Designer Said.

"FANTASTIC! Work Hard, Play Hard!"
Sergei Replied.

The 4 Art Designers Gathered Up Their Belongings And Walked Out Of The Room Together.

By The Door, Was The Director Of "Trolls" & "Trolls World Tour", Walt Dohrn, Who Was Listening To The Presentation, Fascinated By Sergei's Idea.

"EHHH? EHHH? I SEE YOU PEEKIN INNN THERE WALTY HALTY"
Sergei Said.

Walt Dohrn Walked In, Chuckling.
"Yes Yessss, Couldn't Hold My Intriguing Curiosity Of This New Idea To Take The Franchise"

"Yep, Been Hoping This Will Land A Good Impression On You As You Direct These Creatures Full Of Their Happy Go Lucky...Visually High Nature"
Sergei Gestures.

"Just Have One Minor Question, With The New Take On The Trolls With The Whole Apocalypse Concept, Are You Sure It Get The Fans Of Trolls Interested In It?"
Walt Questioned.

"Ah, I See Your Point. But, The Way I See It Is That The Fans Of Trolls Who Grew Up With The Franchise In 2016 Are Growing Up To This Day. And I Figure, Let's Have The Franchise Grow With The Fans. Into A More, Mature And Edgier Look To It"
Sergei Explained To Walt.

"Like A Way To Maintain It's Original Fans?"
Walt Raised His Eyebrow.

"Correctoooooo! Plus, If You Notice The Lastest Trends Of Films Like Avengers, Or DC Heroes, Or Even Action Films, Those Dark Tones Are Very Intriguing. And To Give Trolls That Feel To It....Absolute Butt Bonkers!"
Sergei Added On.

"Well You Are The Soon To Be Investor Of This Franchise, So I Got My Trust In You"
Walt Patted Sergei's Shoulder.

"Trust Me. This Turn We Take With The Trolls...It Will Raise People's HAIR UP HIGHHH! But Sucks For Bald People Ya Know Pfft"
Sergei Shrugged.

"And I'm Sure The People At Our Campaign Event On Saturday Will Definitely Enjoy Your Presentation"
Walt Said.

"It Will Surely Blow Them Away"
Sergei Smirked.

"Keep Up The Good Work!"
Walt Said And Walked Out The Room.

Jerry Took Down The Boards On The Wall.
"Wow, You Actually Pulled This Off"

"I'm Sorry- Actually? Do You Know Who I Am??"
Sergei Questioned.

Jerry Blinked.
"Well I Don't Have Your Birth Certificate Sir So I Uh-"

"I AM THE ONE WHO WILL BRING THIS TROLLY FRANCHISE TO THE BETTER THAN WORSE Through My Way -.-"
Sergei Said Firmly, Walking Up Close To Jerry.

Jerry Nodded Rapidly.
"Mhm. Mhm. Yes Sir"

"And Also The Person Who Has This"
Sergei Placed The Legendary Scrapbook Down On The Table.

"Oh Yes I Remembered You Showed Me This Yesterday! But I Don't Quite Understand It"
Jerry Tilted His Head.

"With This Book, I Can Practically Make Any Decision I Want With These Trolls! Anything"
Sergei Bounced His Eyebrows.

"Oooooo Ho Ho Hoooo! But...How'd You Get It?"
Jerry Asked.

"Do I Ask You How You Pee Or Dump Or Potential NUMBER 3???"
Sergei Said.

"UH- UH-...WELL YOU DON'T ASK SO I..."
Jerry Studdered.

"DISMISSED JERRY! And Get Me A Latte-"
Sergei Demanded.

"YES SIR-"
Jerry Grabbed The Presentation Boards And Ran Out The Room.

Sergei Picked Up The Legendary Scrapbook, And Looked Out The Window With A Mischievous Evil Grin Amongst His Face Of The Plans He Has With The Trolls Franchise.

~In Big Sky, Montana~

After 22 Hours, The Amtrak Train Reached Its Destination In The State Of Montana, In The City Of Big Sky.

The Train Stopped At Its Train Station, As The Passengers Grabbed Their Luggage And Boarded Off.

The Trolls Hopped Down The Steps Carefully And Onto The Ground, Walking To The Side Of The Road.

"I Guess This Is Our Stop!"
Poppy Said.

"Yeah But Like...Where?"
Trollex Wondered.

"Hmmm....OOH! TROLLADA! 🇨🇦"
Cooper Blurted.

"No Cooper, Trollada Is Cold And Full Of Snow....And Canadians"
Branch Said.

"Great, We're Lost Again"
Prince D Said.

"Not Entirelyyyyy, We Just Need A Navigator To Show Us Around!"
Poppy Said.

"And Where Are We Supposed To Find One?"
Branch Crossed His Arms.

The Group Thought Of A Potential Navigator, And Turned Their Heads To The iPhone In Barb's Hands.

Barb Swiped Through Her iPhone.
"Hmmm...I Should Start A Thingy Called An Instagram Page On This"

"Can I See That- THANKS"
Branch Snatched The iPhone From Barb.

"AYE! THAT'S MINE TIMBERASS!"
Barb Said.

"RELAX! You Can Have It Back Once I Figure Out Where We Go"
Branch Said.

"So Like...Never?"
Barb Said.

"-.-"
Branch Glared Over At Barb.

"C'mon Barbbbb, Have Some Faith"
Poppy Nudged.

"There Is No Faith With Bumbo Over Here!"
Barb Pointed.

"Stop Calling Me Bumbo! MY EARS AREN'T BIG!"
Branch Said.

"What Does Bumbo Mean?"
Trollex Asked.

"Branch & Dumbo. Bumbo"
Barb Said.

"OHHH I GET IT...BRANCH MATED WITH A BABY ELEPHANTTTT!!!"
Cooper Yelled Out.

"EVERYONE FOCUS!"
Branch Shouted.

Branch Looked At The iPhone, And Swiped Through It For Something To Help With.

Branch Noticed A App With A Map On It.
"Hm, This Seems Useful"

Branch Pressed The "Google Maps" App And Opened Up Virtual GPS Map To Follow.

"Interesting...OOH! A MIC! It Can Listen To My Commands!"
Branch Pointed.

"Oh Well Aren't You The Tech Wizard 😒"
Barb Rolled Her Eyes.

Branch Pressed The Mic Button And Spoke Into It.
"Get Us Out Of Here!"

The Mic Didn't Understand The Request And Denied The Access To A Location.

Branch's Eyes Twitched In Confusion.
"WHAT?!?!"

"Sucks Don't It 😏"
Barb Said In Branch's Ear.

"uuuuggGGGGGHHHHHHHAAAHHHHHH!!!! C'MON! WORK! WORK! GAAAAAHHH!!! WORK WORK WORK WORK!"
Branch Jumped On The iPhone Rapidly.

As Branch Kept Jumping On The iPhone, He Accidentally Jumped Hard On The Big Home Button, Activating Siri.

Siri: Hello, What Can I
Help You With?

"AH!"
The Trolls Flinched And Held Each Other.

"It Just Taaalkkkeeddd.."
Trollex Slowly Pointed.

"It Asked To Help You B"
Prince D Said.

"Hm.."
Branch Walked Up To The iPhone.

Branch Cleared His Throat.
"H-H...Hellooo..?"

Siri: Hello

"....C-Can...Can You Help Us..?"
Branch Asked.

Siri: I Think I Just Said I Could.

"Well Rude, But YAY!"
Branch Went Back To The Phone.

"Well Whaddya Know, Voice Activated Phones, Ya Don't See That Everyday"
Prince D Said.

"I'm Sure Some People Do Every Second Of Their Lives-"
Trollex Said.

Prince D And Trollex Looked At The Readers From The Wattpad Camera.

Branch Picked Up The iPhone.
"I Can't Keep Holding This!"

A Little Random Turtle That Crossed The Street, Crawled Nearby The Trolls Slowly.

"Can I Lean Our Phone On You Turtle From The Sonic Movie? Thanks!"
Branch Leaned The iPhone Against The Turtle's Shell.

The Turtle Just Remained Still.
"👁👄👁"

Branch Cleared His Throat.
"Excuse Me, Miss?"

Siri: You Can Call Me Siri

"Well Miss Siri, Find The Legendary Scrapbook!"
Branch Requested.

Siri: Finding Hot Girls
On Facebook

"Hm, Intriguing"
Branch Said.

"You Actually TRUST THIS WOMAN?!?"
Poppy Questioned With Her Eyebrow Raised.

"YES-I-DO 😁"
Branch Said In A Robot Voice With A Grin.

Barb Groaned In Her Hands.
"UGHHHH! This Is Getting Us Nowhere!"

"MOVE!"
Barb Kicked Branch Away.

"YOI-"
Branch Yelped And Flung Aside.

"SIRI LADY, GET US OUT OF THIS ROAD!!!"
Barb Yelled Into The Phone.

Siri: Say It Nicely

"DON'T MAKE ME JERK A KNOT IN YOUR CIRCUITS!!!"
Barb Replied.

Siri: Alright Then. Walk Up Ahead To The Nearest City

"GRACIAS!"
Barb Started Walking Up Ahead The Road.

"Very Sophisticated -.-"
Branch Dusted Himself Off.

As The Trolls Walked Towards The City Of Big Sky, Ellie & The Alley Cats Jumped Off The Back Of The Train And Spotted The Trolls.

Ellie Smirked Mischievously.
"Follow Them"

~At Big Sky High School~

As The Dismissal Bell Rang, The Students Of Big Sky High School Got Let Out Of School For Their Summer Break Vacation.

14 Yr Old, Silas Timberlake, (Played & Portrayed By "Jacob Tremblay"), Came Out Of The School's Entrance With His Best Friend Alex.

"FINALLY! School Is Over And We Are Free From This Prison!"
Silas Said With His Arms Open Wide.

Alex Snickers.
"Prision? That's What You're Gonna Call It?"

"That's What It Felt Like So Ya Know"
Silas Shrugged.

"Ah, I Was Thinking More Of....The Bullsquat Center"
Alex Said.

"Wow...That's So Bland"
Silas Said.

"I Could've Said The Other Bull Worddddd"
Alex Said.

"Doesn't Matter What It's Called, Just Know Our First Year As Freshman Is Done! And I Can Focus On My Summer Mission"
Silas Said.

Alex Groans.
"Oh Godddd, Don't Tell Me You're Gonna Try...AGAIN"

"You Act Like It's A Bad Thing"
Silas Went And Picked Up His Skateboard From The Racks.

"CAUSE IT IS! How Long Are You Gonna Do This Dude? Your Dad Clearly Had Had Enough Of You Sneaking Your Way Into All His Concerts! Remember When You Rented Out A Limo Just To Arrive At His Concert?!"
Alex Said.

"And It Was A Classy Limo"
Silas Added.

"Yeah And YOU USED HIS WHOLE CREDIT CARD!"
Alex Said.

"Who Knew Limo's Costed So Much Though?"
Silas Placed Down His Skateboard.

Alex Sighed.
"Look Man, I Think You Should Cool It With Your Schemes This Summer. You've Gotten In Trouble Too Many Times And Your Dad Is Gonna Snap One Day"

"Maybe One Day But Not This Day! Cause He's Going To California Tomorrow For A Campaign On Saturday Annnd I'm Not Gonna Miss My Shot Of Going To LA!"
Silas Said.

"It's Gonna Backfireeee.."
Alex Said.

"No It Won'tttt, Trust Me. I Got A Full On Plan Of Going With Him!"
Silas Insured.

In Front Of Both Boys, Was A Girl Named Jess, Who Silas Had A Huge Crush On, Talking To Her Friends By The Bus Stop.

Silas Looked Across At Jess From Afar And Smiled A Bit With A Little Blush.

Alex Noticed Silas Looking At Jess.
"How About Instead Of Trying To Scheme Your Way Into Events With Your Dad...Try Your Way Into Impressing Jess"

Silas Scoffed.
"Pfft, I Don't Got To Impress Her."

"You've Been Trying To Impress Her All Year, This Is Your Chance"
Alex Gestured.

"Hmm...You're Right! I Got This! I Got Game!"
Silas Nodded.

"Mmm You Got Something...But It's Definitely Not Game"
Alex Said.

Silas Put His Backpack Down.
"Watch My Bag"

Silas Inhaled And Exhaled, Then Walked Over Towards Jess At The Bus Stop.

~~~

On The Sidewalk Of The High School, The Trolls Were Strolling Down As They Listened To Siri.

Siri: Keep Up Straight Ahead

"Thanks Ri Ri!"
Barb Thanked.

Siri: Please Don't Call Me
Ri Ri

"I Will Call You What I WANT!!"
Barb Yelled.

Siri: You're Not My
Mama Or Papa

"UGH!"
Barb Hit The iPhone.

Sir: Ha. Ha. You're Weak

Poppy Turned To Branch Who Has His Arms Crossed.
"Branch! Stop Being A Male Karen And Look Around For The Scrapbook"

"I Don't See How That's Possible With THE WORLD WE ARE IN!"
Branch Gestured.

"But You Still Have To Help Out!"
Poppy Said.

A Teenage Girl Walked Down The Sidewalk Of The School And Was About To Step On Poppy.

Branch Immediately Pushed Poppy Out The Way.
"AND YOU NEED TO LOOK OUT -.-"

Trollex Turned Around And His Eyes Widen, Tapping Branch's Shoulder.
"O_________O.....C-C-C-C.."

Branch And The Group Turned Around To See Ellie & The Alley Cats Right Behind Them.

"Annnd You Need To Look Out For Us~"
Ellie Chuckled.

"I- I- I- H-H-HOW...B-B-BUT.."
Poppy And Branch Studder Together.

"What's Wrong?
Cat Got Your Tongue?~"
Butch Smirked.

"RUNNN!!!"
Poppy Yelled Out.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!"
The Trolls Quickly Sprinted Off.

"AFTER THEM NOW!"
Ellie Demanded.

Butch, Lightning, Meathead, And Ash Dashed And Chased After The Trolls.

"H-HOW DID THEY FIND US??!!?!"
Poppy Said.

"I DON'T KNOW! CATS HAVE A STRONG SMELL SENSE LIKE GRU'S LONG NOSE!"
Branch Replied.

~~~

At The Bus Stop, Jess & Her Friends Were Chit Chatting Together About Their Summer Plans, As Silas Was Walking Up Behind Them.

Silas Was Right Behind Jess And Sighed Deeply, And Tapped Jess's Shoulder Nervously.

Jess, With Her Curly Hair And Southern Accent, Turned Around To Silas.

"Oh Hey There Silas!"
Jess Greeted.

"H-H-HEYYYYYY JESSSS, WHAT'S UP...GIRLOOOOOO HAH HAH"
Silas Laughed Nervously.

"It's Over 🤦‍♂️"
Alex Facepalmed.

"Nothing Much Just SOOO Glad School Is Over! I Got So Much Plans!"
Jess Said.

"O-Oh Um Really? Me Too! I Actually Had One Plan That I Wanted To Do.."
Silas Said, Rubbing His Arm, Eager To Ask Her Out.

"I'm Sure It's Fun Just Like My Plans! I'm Headin' Over To Mississippi!"
Jess Told Him.

Silas's Face Expression Went Down.
"....Mississippi?"

Jess Nodded.
"Yup! Going To Visit My Family's Farm And Help Out There! Really Looking Forward To It! What About You?"

"Oh Uh, Just Ummmm...Swimming..Pool..Clean...Teeeaaaammm?"
Silas Made Up A Lie.

"You'll Be Cleaning A Swimming Pool?"
Jess Raised Her Eyebrow.

"yeeeEESSSSS! GOTTA YA KNOW...MAKE SURE IT'S A SANITARY PLACE TO GET WET 😁"
Silas Grinned Wide.

"Well Sure Sounds Like Fun! I'm Sure Y'all Will Make It Perfectly Clean!"
Jess Said.

"Yeahhh.."
Silas Said.

Jess Turned Her Head To See Her Mom Pulling Up In The Car.
"Well My Rides Here, Guess I'll See Ya Later! Have A Great Summer!"

Jess Gave Silas A Goodbye Hug And Went To Her Car.
"HAVE FUN WITH THE CLEAN TEAM!"

"HAVE FUN ON THE....Farm...👋"
Silas Waved, Disappointed.

Silas Turned Around And Looked Across At Alex Who Was Watching The Whole Thing.

"😄👍"
Alex Gave A Thumbs Up And Walked Away.

"-.-"
Silas Gave Alex A Glare.

~~~

Around The School, The Trolls Were Being Chased By The 4 Alley Cats Right On Their Trail.

"WE GOTTA LOSE THEM!"
Poppy Said.

"YA THINK?!?"
Branch Replied.

Barb Pressed The iPhone Button For Siri.
"RI RI! TELL HOW TO GET RID OF PUSSY CATS!"

Siri: Searching For "How To Get Rid Of Cats With Pussies"

"GAAAH NOT WHAT I MEANT!"
Barb Shook The Phone.

"BEST TO GIVE UP NOW"
Butch Shouted.

"YEAH WE GOTCHA NOW BECAUSE...WELL....CAUSE WE GOT YOU!"
Meathead Said.

"YUH, HHAHAOIHGOIE"
Ash Laughed.

"UM UHHH.."
Poppy Tried To Think Of Something.

Poppy Looked Around The School's Campus, And Spotted A Backpack Next To A Skateboard.

"HOP IN THAT BAG!"
Poppy Pointed.

The Trolls Headed In The Direction Of The Backpack And Stopped At It.

Poppy Unzipped The Backpack.
"IN IN IN CMON!"

The Trolls All Hopped In The Backpack As Well As Poppy, And Zipped It Back Up.

The 4 Alley Cats Ran At The Backpack, Poking It And Scratching It.

Silas Walked Back To His Backpack With The Alley Cats Around It.

The Alley Cats Backed Off As Silas Picked Up His Backpack On His Back.

"The Heck- Shoo! Shoo!"
Silas Motioned The Alley Cats To Go Away.

The Alley Cats Immediately Sprinted Away From Silas And Back To Ellie.

"Well? What Happened?! Where Are They?!"
Ellie Questioned.

"They Hopped In A Bag"
Butch Replied.

"What Bag????"
Ellie Asked.

"That Kid's Backpack"
Lightning Pointed.

Silas Put On His Airpods, Hopped On His Skateboard And Started Riding Away.

"UGGGGGHHHH!!! IDIOTSSSS!!!"
Ellie Made Meathead And Lightning Hit Their Heads Together.

"OIIII-"
Both Cats Doinked Each Other's Heads.

~~~

Skateboarding His Way Home, Silas Listened To Heartbreaking Music Along The Way With The Song "Me & My Broken Heart" By Rixton.

"What's Happening?! AND WHO HAS US?!?! DID THE CATS DRAG US AWAY???? AAAAH TUNA!"
Trollex Pulled His Hair.

"Not Sure"
Poppy Replied.

Poppy Unzipped The Backpack And Poked Her Head Out The Bag.
"Hmmm.."

Branch Poked His Head Out Next To Poppy.
"Where's He Taking Us?"

Trollex Poked His Head Out And Looked Up At The Sunlight.
"Ooooooo.....We're Deadddd..."

"Huh?"
Silas Took Off A Earpod And Turned Around On His Shoulder.

Poppy, Branch And Trollex Immediately Vanish Back Into The Backpack.

Silas Looked Around Himself, Then Shrugged And Continued Riding His Way Home.

Siri: You Are Going The Wrong Way

Barb Covered The iPhone's Speaker.
"Please SHUT UP-"
