The following is a transcript for the episode "Flyer's Ed".

(The camera shows Vibe Town in space facing an evil spaceship. An alien is heard speaking. Then we go inside the control room.)
Rhythm: Captain, the alien sent a message and it’s as you suspected, they say they rock harder than we can! (The evil spaceship takes out a guitar.)
Blues: What are we going to do?! (Lownote turns around in his chair.)
Lownote: I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. I’m going to get out of the way so you can talk to the captain. (He chuckles and his seat rises, revealing Val.)
Val: (laughs) Set photons to hardcore. (Rhythm presses a button and Vibe Town takes out a guitar along with Val.) Rock on. (She and the spaceship play their guitars. Rhythm and Blues also help. We go to reality where Val is mimicking an electric guitar. (Poppy and Holly are watching her.)
Holly: Uh… is she OK?
Poppy: Yep. Val’s just been in a Hard Rock sci-fantasy ever since Lownote Jones’ big announcement. To help us explore Funk culture, he’s gonna let any Troll who wants to fly the Vibe Town Spaceship. (The camera zooms out to show Vibe Town behind her and Holly.)
Holly: Whoa!
Poppy: All you have to do is take his week-long flying class first.
Val: Wait. I got to take what now? (Soon, she, Poppy, Holly, DJ Suki, Guy Diamond, and different Trolls are at Lownote’s class.)
Lownote: (Writing on the chalk board slowly) My name is… Mr…. (Val sighs in disgust.) … Lownote…
Val: Ugh.
Lownote: Jones. (He writes some lines under his name.)
Val: Finally.
Lownote: Baby. (Val lays her head on her desk and groans.) Any questions before we begin?
Val: (Raising her hand) Oh, oh! Mr. Lownote, sitting still at a desk listening to lessons all day isn’t exactly my jam. Any way I could skip it?
Lownote: (chuckles) What a delightfully short-sighted question, Val. You see, space piloting is very, very, difficult. And while I’ll be with you during your flight to make sure you’re 100% safe, nobody can fly Vibe Town without taking the class and passing the final exam.
Val: Oh, Mr. Lownote, same exact question, just rephrased in a different way. Can I please just fly Vibe Town right now?
Lownote: Well, sure you can.
Val: Yes! (She mimics an electric guitar.)
Lownote: (Holding up a textbook) In text book form!
Val: Huh?
All: (Taking out their text books) Ooh!
Lownote: Welcome to the exciting world of reading about the exciting world of flying. (The students chatter happily while Val groans. After a while, the class ends. We can see that Poppy and Holly’s hair are a bit messy.)
Holly: Phew. This spaceship class is a brain-wrinkler, y’all. Cylindrical Interstellar War Core technology ain’t as easy as my mamma led me to believe. (Poppy sees Val playing her guitar by a mushroom.)
Poppy: Hey, Val. We’re forming a buddy study group. Want to be a study buddy and study, buddy?
Val: Hm. I would, but I worry it’ll will conflict with my preexistent plans to not study and goof off, so… (She goes back to playing her guitar.)
Poppy: Not study? Uh, Val, you do realize that you don’t get to fly if you don’t pass the test, right?
Val: Oh, I’ll pass. Using a little thing I call the Val Method. (Three words form with some fire.) What’s the Val Method? Glad you asked.
Poppy and Holly: We didn’t.
Val: The Val Method is a set of guidelines that help me crush a test while making the bare minimum of effort. Guideline #1: every teacher has a tell. (The next day, Lownote’s class starts again.) Take Lownote for example. Whenever he’s about to say something that will be on the test, he clears his throat and raises an eyebrow.
Lownote: Now… (He clears his throat and raises an eyebrow.) This button activates the ship’s vertical thrust…
Val: Which means I got to pay attention. But when the brow goes down…
Lownote: And this button activates the ship’s cupholders.
Val: That’s my cue to think about nothing but Val stuff. (She puts her feet on her desk and imagines her controlling Vibe Town and fighting an evil spaceship. Lownote coughs and we go back to reality.)
Lownote: When driving a spaceship, keep your hands at 10 and 2,000, depending on which galaxy’s clock you go by. Now, this button activates… (Val imagines herself playing her guitar on a purple planet with a skull face. Lownote clears his throat again and we go back to reality.) Interstellar objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. (Val imagines herself fighting an evil spaceship again.)
Val: (singsong) Val method! (We go back to reality and she is drawing pictures.) Guideline #2: there’s always a risk the teacher will call on you when you’re not listening. (Lownote comes over to her.)
Lownote: Val Thundershock? (Val looks up.) When is the right time to pull the red lever?
Val: Uh… So just stay calm and restate the question as an answer. (clears) Well, frankly, any time is the right time to pull the red lever, provided it’s not the wrong time to pull the red lever.
Lownote: Hm. Mm-hm. Very true. Did everyone hear what Val just said? (The students chatter.)
Val: Val Method. (She imitates an electric guitar while Poppy folds her arms. The class starts once more the next day.) Guideline numero 3-o: if you really need some R&R from the boring Q&A, get the teacher talking about stuff they really like.
Lownote: Now bear with me, the ship’s Evasive Maneuver Guidance System is incredibly complicated, so this’ll take a while.
Val: Oh, Mr. Lownote, sir, would you say it’s as complicated as playing a funky bass riff?
Lownote: Far more complicated, Val. In fact, the comparison is downright absurd. But since you brought it up… (He takes out his bass guitar.) … here’s a little something I’ve been groovin’ on. (He starts playing his bass guitar. The students cheer and snap their fingers.)
Val: Ha-ha!
Poppy: Val, come on! There’s no way you’ll get to fly Vibe Town by making the bare minimum of effort. And I’m really worried about how you’ll feel when Lownote gives you back your test and says… (Later, Lownote shows that Val got a good score on her test.)
Lownote: Val got a good score.
Poppy: WHAT?!
Val: Val Method.
Poppy: But how did… She didn’t even-
Lownote: (Giving Poppy’s test back) You got a good score, too, Poppy. I mean, not Val good, but still good.
Poppy: Well… I don’t… She-
Val: Maybe you should have used the Val Method, eh, Popsqueak? (laughs)
Poppy: But… but Val got… How’d she-
Lownote: Shh, shh. And because Poppy and Val got the highest scores, Val score, again, being the higher of the two, they get to fly first. (The students cheer.)
All: Yeah!
Poppy: But… her score was- (Lownote presses a button on a remote and he, Poppy, and Val are teleported onto Vibe Town.)
Poppy and Val: Whoa!
Lownote, OK, Val, you know what to do.
Val: Oh, yeah. Better believe I do. (She puts on her seatbelt and starts driving the spaceship.) Whooooooo! (Poppy screams and holds on as the spaceship goes fast and Val sings The Sun, The Moon, The Stars & I.)
(Val)
Been waiting all my life
To break on through the atmosphere
Climbing higher and higher
Till my whole world disappears
Racing through the sky I’ve never been up so high
It’s such a magic ride
The sun, the moon, the stars and I
Look where we are
Up in the stars, yeah
Countdown to one
Face to the sun, yeah
Racing through the sky I’ve never been up so high
It’s such a magic ride
The sun, the moon, the stars and I (Poppy is seen all beaten up.)
Val: Yow! An epic first space flight and all thanks to… the Val Method! (She mimics and electric guitar.)
Lownote’s Voice: Danger.
Poppy: Huh?
Lownote’s Voice: Danger.
Lownote: Uh-oh. We’re headed into a Glitter-roid shower. (Poppy and Val gasp and see lots of Glitter-roids.)
Poppy: Ah! So smashy!
Lownote: Engage navigation mode! (The seats disappear and another machine appears.)
Poppy and Val: Aah!
Lownote: (chuckles) Oh, don’t worry; like I said, as long as I’m here, you’re 100% safe. I’ll just set down my smoothies and plot a course on the Evasive Maneuver Guidance System. Val, please activate the cup holders.
Val: The uh… cup holders?
Lownote: Mm-hm. It’s easy. Just do like I showed you in class. (Val looks around the machine.)
Val: Uh… uh… (She presses a button and Lownote begins to glow.)
Lownote: Oh, this is bad. (He disappears.)
Poppy: Aah! Val, you just beamed Lownote off the ship!
Val: What?! No, it’s not my fault! I just pressed the cup holder button.
Poppy: No, the cup holder button is the one that looks like a cup holder! (We show a cup holder button.)
Val: Oh. Look at that.
Poppy: And you would have known that if you had paid attention in class! (She and Val hear a crash.)
Both: Ah! (The Glitter-roids are hitting the Vibe Town Spaceship.)
Val: OK, don’t panic. I can fly us out of this. How do we use this Evasive Maneuver thingy?
Poppy: Gee, I don’t know! But thanks to the Val Method, I can play a funky riff on the bass guitar!
Val: Uh… OK, we can just teleport Lownote back. (She presses a button and Cooper appears.)
Both: Cooper?!
Cooper: (laughs) I am not Lownote Jones. (He, Poppy, and Val scream as a huge Glitter-roid heads toward the spaceship. Cooper then teleports himself away.)
Val: I’m so sorry, Popsqueak! You were right! I should have taken the class way more seriously. The Val Method doomed us! (She and Poppy scream while hugging each other.)
Lownote: Simulation mode terminated.
Poppy and Val: Huh? Simulation mode? (They find themselves in simulation chairs and gasp.)
Val: We… we never went to space?
Lownote: (chuckles) No, you didn’t.
Val: Then… you know I wasn’t ready to fly the Funk ship?
Lownote: Indeed. So Poppy and I decided to teach you a little lesson by putting you in that simulation.
Poppy: You never told me it was a simulation!
Lownote: Oh, right. I knew I forgot something. (laughs) What a world!
Val: Well, whatever it was, you were so right, Lownote. I wasn’t ready. But I promise you next time I will be.
Lownote: And how are you going to do that?
Val: I’m gonna take your class again and really pay attention this time, and… and I’m gonna read your textbook cover to cover. In fact, I’m going to get started right now. (She takes out her textbook.) You hear me, world?! This is a new Val! Study, study, study!
Poppy: Wow. Val was actually excited about studying. How did you do that?
Lownote: By following a set of guidelines for handling students who try to make the bare minimum effort. I call it… the Lownote Method. (He laughs and plays his bass guitar while Poppy snaps her fingers.)
