== ==
(At Classical Crest, Smidge and Val are running toward each other while screaming. They soon reach each other.)
Smidge: I just looked at my watch and realized I was gonna be late for Dante’s party!
Val: I just looked at my watch and realized I was gonna be early for Dante’s party!
Smidge: Huh?
Val: I’m a Hard Rock Troll. I can’t show up on time! (Her watch rings.) Oh, OK, I’m late now. We’re cool. (She starts to walk inside.)
Smidge: (Doing a facepalm) Oh, my Guh. (She and Val enter a room and gasp because they see some Troll children dancing. A shadow of CJ Suki is seen.)
Both: Whoa!
Val: This is Dante’s party?! It looks… so fun!
Smidge: I know… Last Troll on the dance floor is a Troll that gets to dance just like any other Troll! (She and Val scream with joy. Suddenly, a light from another room turns on.)
Dante: Val? Smidge? What on earth are you doing here at the children’s table?
Smidge and Val: Children’s table? (They watch the Troll children dance.)
Dante: A separate area wherein children can… (clears his throat) … ‘cast their appendages into the air as if they possess not a single care, as they say?
Tiny Diamond: Give it up, fellow kids! If your bedtime is 7:30, make some noise! (The children cheer.)
Smidge: Whoa! If this is just the children’s table, I can’t wait to see the actual party.
Smidge and Val: Hey-yoooooo! (Soon, they are at Dante’s party where the guests are waltzing.)
Smidge: Wow, Dante, this looks really… (Poppy is heard laughing and she is seen waltzing with Synth.)
Poppy: (gasps) Val! Smidge! Check out our waltz! Did you know it’s step one-two instead of step-one-two? (She continues waltzing with Synth.)
Smidge: … fun.
Dante: I know! (chuckles) And later we shall toast another with dedicatory speeches! I’m delivering mine in rhyming verse. I find iambic Pertameter makes a party truly wild. Rawr!
Smidge: (Looking at Val) Uh-huh… (Val chuckles.)
Dante: Val, Smidge, this party is so important to me and it means the world that you’ve come. Now, I am off to “raise the roof” in 3/4 time! 1, 2, 3, uh, uh! 1, 2. 3, uh, uh!
Smidge and Val: We’ve gotta get back to the children’s table!
Smidge: I know! But how?! We can’t leave. Dante just said how much it means to him that we’re here.
Val: Hm… Oh! What if we… (She and Smidge laugh.)
Smidge: I don’t know why we’re laughing!
Val: ‘Cause I just solved our problem. All we have to do is… take turns going to the children’s table while the other person covers here!
Smidge: Oh… Oh, my… Oh, my Guh! Then we both get to go without Dante ever being the wiser. I-it’s so simple. Why has no Troll ever tried this before?
Lownote: (Appearing from behind a curtain) Oh, they have. They call it… the Party Switcheroo. (Val and Smidge gasp.)
Smidge: Love the name.
Val: Agreed.
Lownote: Many Trolls have stood in your hair before. Craving some other, wilder party. They attempt the Switcheroo, only to discover that the same craving that fuels it also steers it towards its inevitable conclusion… betrayal. (Val and Smidge gasp again.)
Smidge: Not as big a fan of betrayal.
Val: Same.
Lownote: So, I warn you, Trolls, just stay where you are and enjoy the party that’s right in front of you… before it’s too late. (He walks backwards.)
Val: I say we ignore Lownote’s warning and do it anyway.
Smidge: OK!
Val: Great. Here’s how it’s gonna work: First, we set our Hug Watches to go off every 15 minutes. (She and Smidge set their Hug Watches. She then goes to the children’s table.) And while one of us has a blast at the children’s table… (She jumps on a flag with Tiny.)
Val and Tiny Diamond: Whooooo! (Smidge stays at Dante’s party.)
Val: … the other stays here, making sure no-one notices. (Smidge watches the guests waltz. Dante then comes over to her.)
Dante: Say, Smidge, where is Val?
Smidge: Oh, she’s… uh… over there. (She points to a purple male Funk Troll dancing with a female Rock Troll.)
Dante: Hm? Where?
Smidge: (Pointing to a blue female Funk Troll dancing with a male Country Troll.) There. See?
Dante: I don’t-
Smidge: (Pointing to a magenta female Pop Troll dancing with Demo) You really don’t see her?
Dante: I can’t seem to-
Smidge: Right there! Where I’m pointing!
Dante: Of course! Now I see her! Ta-ta! (He laughs and flies away.)
Val: (As she and Smidge’s Hug Watches go off) And when our watches go up… (Smidge runs to the children’s table while Val runs to Dante’s party.)
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! That totally worked!
Val: And now it’s time to…
Both: (As they high-five) Switcheroo!
Val: Then we just lather… (Smidge uses a little cane as a golf club and hits a cupcake into a large mug and the Troll children cheer for her.) Rinse… (At Dante’s party, Val is reading a menu.) I’ll order the cupcake confit with frosting aoil. And Smidge? (A fake Smidge is next to her. She then imitates her.) Oh, my gerrrr, I’ll take one of each! (She closes the menu and it is revealed that the fake Smidge is a plant.) And repeat. (As she and Smidge continue to switch, they sing A Little Bit.)
(Val)
Never running out of time
Not a question in my mind
(Smidge)
Always get just what I want
Never compromise
(Both)
Just a little bit zany
Just a little bit mad
And nobody can save me
‘Cause I like it like that
I want a little bit of this
And a little bit of that
Oh, yeah!
I want a little bit of this
And a little bit of that
Oh, yeah!
Don’t you tell me that
I’m gonna have to choose
I want a little bit of this
And a little bit of that
Oh, yeah! Yeah! Yeah! (Val is then seen hanging onto a chandelier.)
Val: Whooooo! Whooooo! (Her watch goes off.) Aw, man! Time’s up already? Eh, Smidge can cover for me a little longer. (She goes back to swinging and the Troll children cheer.) Whoooo! (At Dante’s party, Smidge is looking at her watch.)
Smidge: Come on, Val. Where are you? (She sees Poppy holding up a cupcake.)
Poppy: And so, dear friends, I leave you with this: may the knots in your hair unravel quickly and the knots in your hugs last a lifetime.
All: Aw! (The guests take a bite out of their cupcakes.)
Dante: (sobs) Here, here, Poppy. Here, here. (He wipes his tears.) And next to toast shall be… Val Thundershock! (He realizes hat Val is not here.) Val? Where is Val?
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! (She runs off to find Val.)
Dante: Wait… Is Val not here?
Smidge: She’s here! Val is here! It’s just… I, uh… I asked her if I could do my toast first ‘cause it’s uh… super… long. (The guests groan.) OK, so… a toast: by me. Smidge. Hi. But first… what is a toast? Some would define it as a kind-hearted speech. Others would call it crunchy bread. And who can really say who’s right and who’s wrong in this crazy, upside-down world? (She chuckles along with the guests. Soon, they are getting bored.) … and you can use Flavor Berry jam… Sparkle Melon jam. That’s a good toast jam if you like jam, which I don’t… and um… (She sees Val.) Val’s here; time for her toast. Thank you.
Poppy and Dante: Huh?
Val: Uh… (She takes out a cupcake.) Toast!
All: Ah… (They take another bite from their cupcakes and their heads fall onto the table.)
Val: Ah… (Just as she is about to take a bite from her cupcake, Smidge grabs her with her hair.) Whoa!
Smidge: Val, what took you so long?! My watch went off 20 minutes ago!
Val: Gee. Did it? Gee, my watch must not be working. Gee.
Smidge: Why are you overusing the word “gee”? Unless… (She uses her hair to grab Val’s watch.) Your watch is fine! You ignored it!
Val: What?! How dare you! I would never do something like that! (She and Smidge grunt and Lownote reappears.)
Lownote: Well, well, well. Do I detect a hint of… betrayal? (Smidge and Val look at each other and laugh.)
Val: Wha-? No! Not at all!
Smidge: Yeah, everything’s going great. In fact, Val and I were just about to… (She gives Val back her watch.)
Both: (High-fiving with their hair) Switcheroo! (Smidge runs off.)
Val: See? No betrayal here!
Lownote: Really? So, it doesn’t bother you that Smidge just tampered with your Hug Watch timer so she can stay at the children’s table as long as she wants whilst you remain stuck here with the adults? (Val looks at her Hug Watch.)
Val: (gasps) Betrayal!
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! (She runs away.)
Val: (As she runs after Smidge) Hey Un-switch-a-that-roo! (Smidge blocks her way with a food cart and she jumps over it. She then grabs Smidge with her hair.) Ha-ha! Ow! (Smidge grabs a chandelier with her hair and swings ahead of Val.) No! (Smidge laughs and Val uses her hair to form a wrecking ball. Smidge avoids it and runs on the wall and on the ceiling while Val laughs. Smidge soon catches up with her.) I’m going to the children’s table!
Smidge: No, I am! (She tackles Val, causing them to roll into the curtain. They fly above Tiny Diamond and crash onto the food table, breaking it. They gasp and see the angry Troll children.)
Val: We’re so sorry.
Smidge: We’ll clean everything up.
Tiny Diamond: You better believe it! And after that, you’re going somewhere to think about what you’ve done… (Later, Val and Smidge are at a table with no fun things.)
Val: The children’s children’s table?!
Tiny Diamond: You better believe it! This is where we send those who cannot behave themselves at the children’s table. Tiny Diamond out. (He closes the door with his hair.)
Val: I guess this is the part where I’m supposed to say sorry for ignoring my Hug Watch and leaving you at the adult party or whatever.
Smidge: Yeah, and then we do the thing where I apologize to you for disabling your Hug Watch.
Val: If we were doing that kind of thing.
Smidge. Yeah. If. Which we totally are. I’m so sorry.
Val: Ugh, me too! If we’d just listened to Lownote and enjoyed Dante’s party, we never would have committed the… you know. (Lownote is seen behind her.)
Lownote: Betrayal.
Val: OK!
Smidge: We get it! (Lownote laughs and closes the door.
Val: Ugh. Actually, I think Lownote was right. About more than just the betrayal. All that time we were focused on going to the children’s table, we could have been making the best of the party we were at.
Smidge: You know, Val, the night’s young. There’s still time to take his advice.
Val: Yeah, it’s not too late.
Tiny Diamond: (From inside) I hear a lot of talking out there and not a lot of thinking! (Smidge and Val laugh. Soon, they are back at Dante’s party and waltzing.)
Val: (As Smidge spins her with her hair) Wheeeee! (Poppy and Dante come up to them.)
Poppy: Val! Smidge! There you are!
Dante: I take it you two are enjoying the festivities?
Smidge: Oh, my Guh, yes! This waltz is the twirling experience of my young Troll life!
Val: Everybody raise the roof 3/4 time!
All: 1, 2, 3, uh, uh! 1, 2, 3, uh, uh!
