== ==
(Val is performing a concert for Rock Hollow. Her guitar strings fire up and the crowd cheers.)
Val: Ah! (She smashes her guitar against some speakers.)
Demo: YOW! Way to rock! (He and the crowd cheer.)
Val: Ha-ha! That smash was so… dissatisfying.
All: Aw!
Demo: YOW! Spoke too soon!
Val: Ugh! I can’t end an epic solo on a bland smash! I’m craving something new. (Outside, she gets ready to smash a mushroom.) Yes! (She smashes the mushroom The Rock Trolls cheer.) Ugh. Too dry.
All: Aw! (At the beach, Val gets ready to smash a conch shell.)
Val: Yes! (She smashes the conch shell and the Rock Trolls cheer.) Too crunchy!
All: Aw! (At Country Corral, Val gets ready to smash a piñata.)
Val: YEEEAH! (She doesn’t smash the piñata.) Too obvious!
All: Aw!
Rock Troll #1: Yeah, we should have known that one. (Val sees something.)
Val: (gasps) There… (The camera shows a Cheery Glo-mato.)
All: Ooh! (Val screams, runs to the Cheery Glo-mato, and smashes it with her guitar. The camera makes it look like the world is covered in tomato juice.) That… (She blows a kiss and laughs.) … hit the spot.
All: Yeah! (They pick up Val and toss her in the air with their hair.)
Holly: Y’all! (Poppy comes up to her.) What did you do to my Cheery Glo-mato, y’all?! (A leaf falls off the plant where the Cheery Glo-mato once was.)
Val: Oh. (The Rock Trolls put her down.) That was your Cheery Tomato?
Holly: (grunts) Cheery Glo-mato! Y’know,  ‘cause it glows?! And ‘cause there’s only one way to grow it?! (We go to the past where she is cheering for her Cheery Glo-mato.)
Past Holly: Sunlight, compost, H2O! Grow for Mamma, go, go, go! (Her Cheery Glo-mato grows.) Yeah! (We go back to the present.)
Holly: I was gonna enter it in the Country Corral Fair next month! It was gonna be my prize winner.
Poppy: (Putting her hand on Holly’s shoulder) Oh, Holly, that’s awful. But I’m sure Val didn’t know. Did you, Val?
Val: No.
Holly: I understand. It was an honest mistake. A horrifyin’, soul-crushin’ honest mistake. One so devestatin’ most Trolls would die before takin’ it the high road. But not me! (laughs) Not me.
Val: So, we’re cool?
Holly: (sarcastic) Yes, Val. We are cool. (She and Val fist bump.) High road, Holly! High road! (Val turns to her friends.)
Val: Well, that worked out. Who wants ice cream?!
All: YEAH! (Just before they go, Poppy blocks their way with her hair.)
Poppy: Ice cream?! No!
All: Aw!
Poppy: Val, you’ve gotta apologize to Holly!
Val: I did apologize. I said: “We’re cool?” Conflict resolution!
All: Yeah!
Poppy: “We’re cool?” Wow. OK. Val, look. An apology needs to show empathy.
Val: Right. And by empathy, you mean…
Poppy: Really? Ugh. OK, empathy happens when you think about how your actions hurt someone and-
Val: No way, Popsqueak. I’ll just stick to the Rock way of doing things. (She starts to leave.)
Poppy: Fine! But your conscience is gonna get to you.
Val: Oh. And by conscience you mean?
Poppy: GAH! Conscience, Val! The voice in your head that makes you feel bad when you do wrong! Eventually, you’re gonna have to listen to it.
Val: Huh. Sounds like a real drag. Pass. (She leaves.)
Poppy: What?! (grunts) You can’t pass on your- Oh, never mind! Ugh, I gotta hug something! (At the Pop Village market, Val and her friends are lining up for ice cream. Smidge is in front of them.)
Val: Pfft. Can you believe Poppy? “Conscience.” (She chuckles and Smidge gets her ice cream.) S’up, Smidge?
Smidge: Hey, Glo-mato.
Val: Wait. What’d you say?
Smidge I said, “Hey, Val.”
Val: Right. ‘Cause Val’s my name. And this has been a totally normal social exchange. (chuckles nervously)
Smidge: OK? (She leaves while licking her ice cream.)
Demo: You OK? You look kinda soft rock.
Val: I’m fine. I-I just… I thought she said-
Ice Cream Vendor: Hey, Val!
Val: Huh? (The ice cream vendor holds out a cone with a Cheery Glo-mato.)
Ice Cream Vendor I got your Glo-mato.
Val: Ah! What?! (She squeezes her eyes shut.)
Ice Cream Vendor: I said, “I got your usual.”
Val: But… but… (Bubbles shaped like Cheery Glo-matos float by. Val sees a blue male Techno Troll blowing bubbles. He blows a big bubble shaped like a Cheer Glo-mato.) Aah! (She sees her friends staring at her.) What?! I’m not weird, you’re weird!
Voice: It’s never gonna stop!
Val: (gasps) Who’s that?!
Voice: It was me! (A Cheery Glo-mato appears.)
Cheery Glo-mato: Your conscience. (He laughs and Val screams. As her friends stare at her, she runs to Poppy’s pod.)
Val: Poppy, please! I need your help… (She holds out her arm.) … with this! (The Cheery Glo-mato is not on her shoulder.)
Poppy: Your shoulder?
Val: Huh?
Cheery Glo-mato: She can’t see me!
Poppy: Oh! I see what’s going on here. You feel bad about smashing Holly’s Glo-mato, so your deeply underdeveloped conscience is following you around in the form of a Glo-mato.
Cheery Glo-mato: Ooh, that Troll’s perspective. (He laughs and moves around Val’s body.)
Val: Yes! OK?! How do I get rid of it?!
Poppy: Well, to clear your conscience, you really have to think about what you did. And then find a way to express your regret. Ooh! Maybe in a thoughtful card or-
Val: Card! Got it! (She runs off to make a card and comes back in a single second, scaring Poppy. She takes the card.)
Poppy: “Hollee, sorry I did that thing I did the one time. Vall.” And you misspelled Holly. And you misspelled Val.
Cheery Glo-mato: You gotta do better than that!
Val: I don’t know! I’ve never done this before!
Cheery Glo-mato: (In a scary voice) Uh-oh. Someone’s gotten bigger. (Val gasps in horror.)
Val: Oh, please, Poppy! What else can I do?!
Poppy: I don’t know. Sometimes when I need to say sorry, I write a song and-
Val: Song! Yes! I can write a song! (She zooms off.)
Poppy: Wow. She seems stressed. (She takes out a piece of paper and scissors.) I bet she could use a card. (She starts making a card. Then she goes to see Holly. She is making something out of cookie dough.) Hey, Holly! Looks like you’re feeling better.
Holly: Yep. I’m happy to say I’ve let bygones be bygones… (chuckles) … by which I mean how Val took out all her pent-up aggression on my poor Glo-mato who never did a thing to harm anyone! High road! So I’m whippin’ up a new fair entry: cookie dough sculptures! (She shows cookie dough sculptures of Dante, Lownote, and Synth.)
Poppy: Wow! That is just great! Hey, by the way, I’m sort of looking for Val. Have you seen her anywhere?
Val: (offscreen) HOLLY! (We see that her, Demo, and a big male Rock Troll have their instruments and huge speakers.) I WROTE THIS FOR YOU! OW!
Holly: Wha…?
Poppy: Oh, this could be bad.
Val: PREPARE TO BE APOLOGIZED! OW! (She sings her apology song.)
(Val)
I smashed your favorite vegetable
(Rock Troll #1)
Hey!
(Val)
‘Cause it was, oh, so smashable
But now I got this Glo-mato
(Rock Troll #1 and Demo)
Bleh!
(Val)
And, uh-oh, he’s gotta go
I wrote this song
(Demo)
I wrote this song
(Val)
In hopes that I might get him
(All)
Gone, gone, gone, gone!
(Val)
I might get him
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Help me get him gone! (The sound speakers send in a shockwave.)
Poppy: Wait! (The soundwave causes the cookie dough sculptures to be destroyed.)
Val: So… apology accepted? (She sees the destroyed cookie dough sculptures.) Oh… (Holly gets out of the pile and gasps. Poppy then runs over to her.)
Poppy: Oh, oh. Holly, I am so sorry. I-
Holly: I… I just… (She gets out of the pile.) I need a minute, y’all. (She goes inside her pod.) HIGH ROAD!!!
Val: Oh, man! I made it even worse?! (Closeup of Val's feet as the ground shakes. She gasps.) Oh, no. (The Cheery Glo-mato is seen behind her and he laughs.)
Cheery Glo-mato: I’m still here! (He gets closer to Val and she screams. She walks backwards to Poppy.)
Val: Oh, you were right, Poppy! My conscience is gonna eat me!
Cheery Glo-mato: (laughs) Someone hasn’t resolved their feelings!
Val: Wow! Eaten by a gnarly projection of my own inner demons. So cool.
Poppy: No, Val! I didn’t say your conscience was gonna eat you. I said it would catch up with you and that you would have to listen to it.
Val: Listen to it? (The Cheery Glo-mato laughs again.) Do you wanna tell me something?
Cheery Glo-mato: Actually, yeah, I do! (He jumps in the air.) I kept wondering why you didn’t ask.
Val: Uh… maybe ‘cause you lurk around like some nightmare creature.
Cheery Glo-mato: Hm. Yeah, I get that. Now, let’s talk about everything. (He holds out a tea set.) Tea?
Val: (Taking a cup) Why, thank you. (She laughs while Poppy watches her drink her fake tea. Later, Val rings the bell on Holly’s pod. Still angry, she comes out.)
Holly: Val.
Val: Hey, Holly. Are you all right?
Holly: Oh, I’m fine. Cookie dough is good for the hair. Makes it nice and shiny.
Val: Really?
Holly: I don’t know! But I’m just gonna keep tellin’ myself that till I get it all out! Now, what is it?!
Val: (sighs) Holly, look, for the first time in my life, I’ve actually started listening to my conscience. (She sees the Cheery Glo-mato laughing in Poppy’s hair.) I really thought how smashing your Glo-mato must have made you feel. It’s the thing I learned called empanada.
Poppy and Cheer Glo-mato: (offscreen) Empathy.
Val: Empathy. And all I wanted to do is to tell you… I’m really sorry. And to give you this. (She holds out a pot with a new Cheery Glo-mato.)
Holly: Aw! A lil’ baby Cheery Glo-mato.
Val: Yeah. It might still grow in time for the fair if we both cheer it on together.
Poppy: And it definitely will if all three of us chip in!
Holly: Aw! Get in here, y’all! (She hugs Poppy and Val with her hair. The Cheery Glo-mato is seen on Val’s head.)
Cheery Glo-mato: (giggles) Looks like someone isn’t needed anymore. (He uses a leaf and floats away into the sky. Later, Poppy, Val, and Holly are seen in cheerleading outfits.)
Holly: You ready, y’all?
Val: Ugh. I guess. Stupid empanada. Grow, Glo-mato! Grow, grow, Glo-mato!
Poppy and Val: Till you glow!
All: Glo-mato! Glow, glow, Glo-mato! (The new Cheery Glo-mato grows and the girls cheer while jumping in the air.)
