Wildstyle, Tulip, Sally and Lucy

**Wildstyle, Tulip, Sally and Lucy** is the fourth episode of VeggieGirls. It deals with the topic of handling peer-pressure as the biblical story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the Book of Daniel is retold with elements taken from Terry Gilliam's films.

## Plot

### Opening Countertop

On the countertop, Wildstyle Van Pelt and Tulip Brown is alone while greeting the kids, but when he notices that Lucy Van Pelt is absent, Lucy Van Pelt calls out that he's coming. From off-screen, Lucy Van Pelt ends up crashing into some stuff, and when he finally arrives, it turns out that the reason for this is because he has an oversized oven mitt on his head, which he christens his "new hat". When Wildstyle expresses concern that Lucy Van Pelt cannot see anything from wearing the oven mitt, Lucy Van Pelt retorts that according to "Veggie Beat" magazines, all the cool people wear oven mitts on their heads. Wildstyle then remembers that they got a letter from Dexter Wilmington from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, who explains that when he's visiting his friend, Billy, Billy wants to watch a show that Dexter is not supposed to watch, but Billy tells him that if he doesn't watch it, it means he's not cool, so he wants to know what he should do. Lucy Van Pelt then decides to consult Qwerty about this problem, but unfortunately, because of the oven mitt that completely obscures his vision, he winds up falling into the kitchen sink. Wildstyle then tells Dexter that while he's trying to get Lucy Van Pelt out of the sink, he should watch a story about three girls named Tulip, Sally, Wildstyle and Lucy who were faced with the exact same problem.

### Act 1

We are introduced to the narrator of the story, an old onion named George, who serves as the gatekeeper to the Dimple Chocolate Factory. George then explains that the real names of Tulip, Sally, Wildstyle and Lucy are Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, respectively. But everyone else called them by their nicknames since they couldn't remember the trio's real names. George then explains that every morning at the Chocolate Factory, everyone works hard to make sure that everything is going smoothly, before noticing that it's almost 8 o'clock, which means that it's time for the morning milk delivery. Penny Forrester then approaches the front gate and, in her speaking debut, explains to George in song that she'd love to stay and talk, but she doesn't have the time because everyone works really hard at the chocolate factory. After Penny Forrester arrives at the factory, she meets up with Snayler Mendoza, who tells her through song that she's in trouble because she's two minutes late for work, before he also orders the other employees (which are played by a multitude of peas) to get back to work.

We are then introduced to the trio: Tulip, Sally, Wildstyle and Lucy (played, respectively, by Wildstyle Van Pelt, Tulip Brown, Sally Brown, and Lucy Van Pelt), who also explain through song that they don't have any time to play because they have a lot of work to do in the factory. The employees of the factory are hard at work, making sure that all of the chocolate bunnies are made, as well as disposing of any bunnies that have been made wrong. Soon, the song ends as Penny Forrester takes off in her delivery truck to deliver the chocolate bunnies. As a lone chocolate bunny falls out of the back of the truck and lands in front of George, George then explains that every day, they make 14,638 chocolate bunnies (give or take a few), before explaining that Betty Dimple, the lady of the chocolate factory, isn't exactly a bad woman, but he just gets confused real easily sometimes. George then demonstrates this by stating that it all happened when Betty made a big announcement.

Back inside the factory, the workers are still hard at work, when a video screen appears, before Betty Dimple appears on the screen, announcing that this morning, they have shipped their two millionth chocolate bunny and decides to reward everyone by allowing them to eat as many chocolate bunnies as they like for the next half hour. After this announcement is made, Snayler Mendoza compliments Betty Dimple for allowing everyone to eat the bunnies, while Betty Dimple is confident that everyone will give their praise to him for this announcement. While the rest of the employees ravenously eat as many of the bunnies as they like, Sally Brown is a little bit uncertain about this decision, telling Wildstyle Van Pelt and Lucy Van Pelt that they shouldn't eat any more bunnies, because it isn't good to eat too much candy in one sitting. When Wildstyle and Lucy Van Pelt argue about this, stating that everyone else is doing it, Sally Brown retorts back that they should remember what their parents taught them, as well as remembering a song that his mother used to sing to him back when he was really little. After Shack sings a little bit of the song, he then tells Wildstyle Van Pelt and Lucy Van Pelt that even though their parents aren't with them, they can still remember everything that they've learned from this. This finally convinces Tulip Brown and Lucy Van Pelt not to eat any more bunnies.

As time passes, the other employees are still eating chocolate bunnies, but after a while, they begin to feel rather sick from doing so. At the end of the half hour free-for-all, Betty Dimple and Snayler Mendoza then head into the workroom before noticing that everyone has become sick as dogs as a result of eating too many chocolate bunnies. Betty Dimple is angered by this before Snayler Mendoza notices that Tulip, Sally, Wildstyle and Lucy are the only ones who are still standing up. When Betty Dimple and Snayler Mendoza approach the three girls, she is impressed by their resilience before telling them that he's going to promote them to Sally Brown Executives (which, according to Snayler Mendoza, means that you have to wear a tie when Wildstyle Van Pelt and Lucy Van Pelt asks what it means). After Betty Dimple tells Tulip, Sally, and Lucy to meet him in his office first thing in the morning, George then shows up, stating that Tulip, Sally, and Lucy are able to get on Betty Dimple's good side, before adding that the four girls are in for a big surprise when they come into Betty Dimple's office.

The next morning, Tulip, Sally, Wildstyle and Lucy are greeted by Betty Dimple, who then explains that she will have every one of his faithful employees bow down to a chocolate bunny statue, before showing them a model of the statue, to which she says that the real thing is 90 feet tall. Betty Dimple then explains further that it will be a beautiful day when everyone bows down to the statue and sings a song known as "The Bunny Song," which Wildstyle Van Pelt and Lucy Van Pelt says that she's not familiar with and asks Betty Dimple to hum a few bars. Betty Dimple then obliges as he starts singing "The Bunny Song," talking about how much she loves the bunny and not anything else. After the song ends, Tulip, Sally, Wildstyle, and Lucy are a little bit troubled by the lyrics, with Wildstyle Van Pelt asking what will happen if anyone doesn't sing the song. Betty Dimple answers that question by showing the three girls the furnace where the "bad bunnies" (bunnies that get messed up during the production cycle) are sent to be destroyed, before he says in a rather intimidating matter, "Let's just say in my mind, if you don't bow down and sing the song, you're a bad bunny." Betty Dimple then hops off before telling Tulip, Sally, and Lucy that the ceremony is starting. George then shows up and states that the girls were in a real woman with this: "The Bunny Song" was full of all kinds of stuff that the three girls knew was wrong, but the punishment for refusing to sing it would result in Betty Dimple throwing them into the furnace! She then asks the viewers what they would do if they were them, but decides to hold that thought as the ceremony is about to begin.

That afternoon, when everyone is gathered outside, Betty Dimple then announces that it is now time to bow to the bunny and sing "The Bunny Song." While everyone else bows down, Tulip, Sally, Wildstyle and Lucy are the only ones who do not bow, before Betty Dimple and Snayler Mendoza approach them, with Betty Dimple telling them to sing. In response, Sally Brown instead sings Think Of Me along with Wildstyle Van Pelt and Lucy Van Pelt. After the trio finishes singing, Betty Dimple is touched from hearing this song and says that she'll be singing that song... as he punishes them by throws them into the furnace, before calling out to the guards to take them to the fiery furnace. Three carrot guards then approach the trio, while Penny Forrester is concerned and states that she has to help them, before noticing Betty Dimple's delivery truck.

### Act 2

Betty Dimple has now tied up Tulip, Sally, Wildstyle and Lucy, before she explains that he tried being patient & kind with the three girls & that she's infuriated by their stubbornness. When Betty Dimple asks the two women and two girls if they will sing the song, they then explain to her that God wants us to stand up for what they believe is right and that they cannot sing the song. At first, it seems that Betty Dimple understands, before saying that they're bad bunnies before they end up getting pushed down towards the fiery furnace, but Penny saves them in time in the delivery truck. Betty Dimple then has two Dark-Bots chase after the quartet into a vent, but one of the guards crash into the wall and falls into a vat of chocolate.

The chase continues through the vents, which leads to the other Dark-Bot falling into the vat of chocolate as well. Once the guards have been dispatched, Penny Forrester then pilots the truck through the vents once again, and when they see that there is light on the left of the vents, they turn left, believing it to be a way out. Unfortunately, that vent brings them back to where they started from. Betty Dimple then has Snayler Mendoza take the controls to which a pair of mechanical hands take hold of the truck and starts to tilt it downwards in an attempt to dump Tulip, Sally, Wildstyle and Lucy into the fiery furnace down below. However, Penny Forrester is able to escape before unplugging the controls just as the truck is now halfway tilted.

Penny Forrester then angrily proclaims that no one bakes her buddies much to Betty Dimple's annoyance and threatens Penny Forrester, the latch bolt for the gate of the truck then comes loose, which causes Tulip, Sally, Wildstyle and Lucy to fall into the fiery furnace. Betty Dimple then laughs at her victory, stating that no one will ever stand up to her again. However, the room suddenly turns dark before a multitude of bright lights shoot out from the windows of the furnace. Snayler Mendoza peers into one of the windows as he asks how many girls they threw into the furnace. Betty Dimple incredulously answers that there are three before Snayler Mendoza states that there are four girls in there now, making note that one of them is real shiny, as well as the fact that they aren't burning up. Betty Dimple then calls out to the three girls to get out of there, before the fiery furnace gate then opens up, as Tulip, Sally, Wildstyle and Lucy come out alive & well.

When Betty Dimple sees that the two women and two girls were saved by God's power, she then admits that he was wrong for trying to get them to do stuff that they weren't supposed to do, stating that he forgot everything his mother taught him. When he asks them to forgive him, they do. Betty Dimple then asks if there's any way that he can make it up to them. Tulip Brown and Sally Brown then answers that he could sing one of their songs, before he starts singing the song Stand! before Wildstyle Van Pelt and Lucy Van Pelt also join in as well, singing about how God wants us to stand up for what we believe in when we're faced with the peer pressure of doing things that we're not supposed to do. Everyone in the factory then sings the song, before the story comes to an end, as George then smiles at the viewers.
