Be My Val In Time/Transcript

The following is a transcript for the episode "Be My Val In Time".
== ==
(We show the first day of TrollsTopia.)
Rhythm: The first day of TrollsTopia.
Past Poppy: Welcome, one and all! This is a proud moment for Trolls-kind, as Trolls from each Tribe gather, to live together in perfect harmony! (The crowd cheers.) If each of you will step forward, I have “Welcome to TrollsTopia” gifts for everyone! (She gives a plant to Holly.) Welcome to TrollsTopia!
Past Holly: Woo-hoo! (Poppy gives a plant to Synth.)
Past Poppy:  Here you go, Synth.
Past Synth: Meh meh meh meh! (Poppy shows a plant to Val.)
Past Val: Ooh, a plant… Fun.
Past Poppy: Yes, Val. For as this plant grows, so may our friendship.
Past Val: (Taking the plant from Poppy) Uh… you’re not always like this, are you?
Past Poppy: (laughs) Oh, Val! It’s good to laugh. (She laughs again.)
Past Val: Ugh. I give me and this TrollsTopia thing about a week. (We fast forward to six months later.)
Blues: Six months later. (Val walks by making guitar sounds. (She sees some Trolls holding plants with hearts.)
Val: Huh?
Blues: (As she, Rhythm, Poppy, Holly, Dante, and Synth show up) Aren’t they amazing, Val?!
Val: What’s amazing?
Rhythm: The plants Poppy gave us on the first day of TrollsTopia. I’m sure you were just as delighted as we were to wake up and find they’d sprouted these funktastic fruits!
Poppy: They’re called Stum Plums! And my plan has always been that tonight, now that they’ve blossomed, we would have a big party to share them and celebrate how, as these plants have grown, so have our friendships. (Her friends murmur while Val becomes shocked.)
Val: Uh, yeah… I also think this is a great idea! (laughs nervously) In fact, I’m so excited, I’m gonna just go home and stare at my fruit till it’s time to bring out my fruit and show you my fruit. Can’t wait. Fruit! (She runs off.)
Dante: Heavens. She certainly said the word “fruit” an excessive number of times.
Poppy, Holly, Rhythm, Blues, and Synth: Mm-hm.
Synth: Then again, fruit is a great word!
Poppy, Holly, and Synth: Yeah!
Rhythm and Blues: Hm… (Val looks back as she runs.)
Val: Oh, no, no, no! (A wormhole appears, knocking her down.)
Rhythm: Hold up, Val!
Blues: Something you wanna tell us about your fruit?
Val: The fruit? Pfft. Come on. Why would you… There is no fruit! ‘Cause there is no plant! ‘Cause I didn’t take care of the plant! (Rhythm and Blues gasp.) I know. It’s just, I was a different Troll when I first came to TrollsTopia. I thought it was just a dumb plant from a pink Troll who was way too upbeat. How was I supposed to know that pink Troll would turn out to be my best friend? And tonight when I show up empty-handed, she’ll know that I didn’t care about the gift.
Rhythm and Blues: Hm…
Rhythm: Have you considered time travel?
Val: Time travel?
Rhythm: Go back in time and change the past! Of course, you’d need a time machine.
Blues: You can use ours if you don’t have one!
Val: Uh… (In their lab, Rhythm shows Val some roller skates.)
Rhythm: ‘Kay, just a few rules. First, we’ve got enough time juice to use these once, so make it count. (Blues pours some time juice into the roller skates.)
Val: Time juice?
Blues: (As she and Rhythm pick up Val and put the roller skates on her feet) And when we send you into the past, you’ll only have one hour to convince your past self to take care of the plant. Then you’ll be ka-zapped back to the present.
Val: But-
Rhythm: Also, never let your past self know you’re from the future or it could trigger a change to the timeline that’ll disrupt the course of history as we know it.
Blues: But most importantly, have fun!
Val: Wait. Trigger a what? (Rhythm and Blues jump onto her back.)
Rhythm: To the past! (Val screams as she goes backwards on the roller skates. The past is then shown.)
Past Val: Uh… you’re not always like this, are you?
Past Poppy: Oh, Val! It’s good to laugh. (She laughs again.)
Past Val: Ugh. I give me and this TrollsTopia thing about a week. (Electricity is seen behind a bush as she walks past it.) I think I know the perfect place to put this. (Val, Rhythm, and Blues pop out of the bush.)
Blues: OK, Val, what’s the plan?
Val: Well, there are two things I know about myself. One, I rock so hard. And two, the only way I’d ever take care of a plant is if someone convinced me it rocked so hard as I do. (She puts on a blue wig and red glasses and runs to her past self.) Dude, big mistake ditching this plant! It rocks so hard!
Past Val: It does?
Val: Oh, yeah.
Past Val: Well, gee. If that’s true, then… you keep it. (She starts to leave.)
Val: What?! No, no, no! I don’t want it!
Past Val: Why not? You just said it rocks.
Val: Well, yeah, it does. I-I just don’t rock enough to be worthy of its rock-ness.
Past Val: Oh. But if you don’t rock, how can I trust you that the plant does rock?
Val: No! I mean, I do rock. I mean, I-I just… Wait! You’re messing with me!
Past Val: (laughs) Yeah. (She leaves.)
Val: Ugh. I am good. (Soon, she, Rhythm, and Blues jump on a mushroom with instruments.) Listen up, TrollsTopia! The first song is called “Plants Rock So Take Really Good Care Of Them”! A 1, 2, 3, (She starts singing.)
(Val)
Plants rock!
Plants really rock!
Water ‘em
Give ‘em sun 
Show ‘em love
Plants rock
Plants really rock! (Demo shows up)
Past Demo: Everyone! 
All: Huh?
Past Demo: Come listen! Bad Hair Day just released a new song called “Don’t Water Your Plants ‘Cause Rockin’ All Day Is Way More Fun”! (The crowd cheers and runs off.)
Val: Oh, man! It totally forgot they wrote that song. And it does rock. Argh! (She removes her wig and glasses.) Forget this! I’m just gonna tell her the truth! (She runs off.)
Rhythm: Wait, no!
Blues: Val!
Val: Hey, you! Me!
Past Val: What? But you look like… an-
Val: Dude, have your mind blown later. Here’s the deal: I am you from the future. And I am begging you. Just take care of this plant.
Past Val: The… the plant?
Val: Yes. I know you don’t get it now, but someday you and Poppy are gonna be BFFs. And it’s gonna break your heart when you look back at the Troll that you used to be and realize how long it took you to figure out how cool Poppy is. So, please, just take care of the plant.
Past Val: Wow. I had no idea living in this “TrollsTopia” place could make me so… so… soft rock.
Val: I’m sorry, what’s that?!
Past Val: If you are what I turn into by living here, I’m moving back to Volcano Rock City, man. Like now! (Val gasps in horror.)
Val: Moving back to Volcano Rock City?! (She runs after her past self while Rhythm and Blues watch from the bush.)
Rhythm and Blues: A change to the timeline that’ll disrupt the course of history as we know it!
Val: Take the plant!
Past Val: I’m leaving.
Val: Take the plant!
Past Val: Move! (She moves aside.)
Val: Take the plant! (Her past self dodges her until she gets tired.) Ha-ha! I’m you! So I know every move you’re gonna make.
Past Val: Yeah?! Well, I’m you so I know you’re gonna fall for... What’s that over there?!
Val: Ha! Nice try. Ugh, fine! I know it’s a trick, but I gotta look! (Her past self laughs and runs through a bush.) Aah! Get back here! (She gasps and sees that her past self is gone.) Man, she’s really gone. (Poppy appears with some Stum Plums.)
Past Poppy: Oh, hey, Val. Is something wrong with the gift that I gave you this morning?
Val: Huh? Oh, right. This morning. No, it’s great. I actually really love it. It’s just, it reminds me of this great gift a friend gave me a while ago. And I really feel bad that I didn’t take care of that gift.
Past Poppy: Hm. Yeah, I get that.
Val: You… you do?
Past Poppy: Well, yeah. We’ve all made mistakes in our past that we wish that we could do over. And clearly you’ve grown into a more caring Troll since then. And I know I can’t speak for your friend, but if were me, that’s how I’d see it. (Val sheds a tear.)
Val: Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s what she would say, too.
Past Poppy: I’m betting she… (Val hugs her. Her past self gasps from the bush.)
Val: Thanks, Poppy. You always know what to say. I assume. ‘Cause like, we just met, so how would I know? That’d be weird! Psh!
Past Poppy: Oh, Val! (laughs) You tickle me. (She laughs again and leaves.)
Rhythm: I’m so sorry, Val, but the skates wanna go. (She takes out the skates.)
Val: Yeah. OK. So what, do I have to put ‘em on again or… (Blues picks her up and they go back to the present, leaving the plant behind on the ground. Her past self's feet step into the frame. She picks up the plant as the camera quickly pans up her body. She smiles.) 
Past Val: Wait, trigger a what?
Past Blues: To the past! (They go to the past while their future selves come back to the present.)
Rhythm: Well, we’re back.
Blues: Val, I’m so sorry we weren’t able to convince past you to take care of…
All: Huh? (They see the Stum Plum fully bloomed with a note.) The plant! (Val picks up the plant and the note.)
Val: It’s a note. From me.
Past Val: Hey, future me. It’s uh, you. Anyway, after I saw you and Poppy together, I just… decided to give this “TrollsTopia thing a shot and take care of the plant. And you were right. Poppy and I did become BFFs. So, I’m headed back in time to make sure past us keeps taking care of the plant ‘cause let’s be honest, Poppy’s worth it.
Val: Aw.
Past Val: Don’t you dare say, “Aw” to this! (At the party, many Stum Plums are glowing. Val shows up.)
Val: Poppy!
Poppy: Val?
Val: Poppy, look! I have the plant! I looked after it, I watered it, I pruned it. Pruning, that’s a thing, right? For as the plant grows, so does our friendship and our friendship is really important to me. (Poppy’s eyes fill with happy tears.) What’ I’m trying to say is… (Poppy hugs her.)
