Intro

Queen Poppy: You can do it solo

Branch: But then you'd be all by yourself

Synth: Yo! So it'd be more fun to share this one with someone else!

Rhythm & Blues: Together we will soar across the sky and beyond!

Holly Darling: So turn up your voice!

Val Thundershock: Stand up and sing along!

All Trolls: All different voices, our melody's ringin'
We're living in harmony! Yeah, we're livin' in harmony!
Our song is much stronger with every Troll singin'

We're livin' in harmony!

At Rock Hollow, Val was in the middle of an epic guitar solo, the crowd cheering and screaming her name. When she smashed her guitar, she didn't feel the edge of her rockness. She wanted something new. She tried a mushroom, a seashell, and a pinata. But then, she saw a tomato ahead. She ran and smashed it harder as the juices exploded. Her fellow Rock Trolls cheered for her, until they heard someone gasping.

"Ya'll!" Holly gasped as Poppy, Aggie, Barb, and Delta came over with their gardening tools and wore gardening clothes, "What did y'all do ta my Cheery Glo-mato, ya'll?!"

The Rock Trolls put Val down, and she asked, "That was your cherry tomato?"

Holly grunted frustratingly, "Cheery Glo-mato! Ya know, 'cause it glows? Ayn' 'cause there's only one way ta grow it?"

"We cheered faw the Cheery Glo-mato ta grow," Delta explained.

"Ay were gonna entuurr it in the Country Corral Fauurr next mownth! It was gonna be my prize-winnuurrr," Holly said sadly.

Poppy placed her hand on Holly's shoulder, "Oh, Holly, that's awful."

"But I'm sure Val did know? Did you, Val?" Barb asked her ambassador.

"No," Val admitted.

"Ay understand. It was an honest mistake," Holly admitted, but her voice started to und angry, "Ayy hawrifying, sowl-crushing honest mistake. One so devastating mowst Trolls would die befawe takin' thay ...err high road. But nahwt me! nahwt me!"

"So, we're cool?" Val raised her fist on Holly.

"Yes, Val. We are cool," Holly fist-bumped Val before walking away, "High road, Holly! High road!"

Val then turned back to her fellow rockers, "Well, that worked out. Who wants ice cream?"

The Rock Troll cheered as Val ran off.

But Poppy blocked her with her hair, "Ice cream?! No! Val, you've gotta apologize to Holly!"

"I did apologize. I said: 'We're cool?' Conflict resolution!" the Rock ambassador yelled as her fellow Rock Trolls cheered.

"'We're cool?' Wow, okay. Val, look. I've been in your shoes before when I stole all the strings, and I never realized the differences do matter. Turning other Trolls into Rock like us isn't the solution. An apology needs to show empathy, like I did," Barb explained her experience about her mistake during the World Tour.

"Right. And by empathy you mean?" Val asked.

"Really? You don't know! I guess I'm the only Rock Troll to feel this way," The Queen of Rock groaned.

"Okay, empathy happens when y'all think how y'all's actions hurt someone and-" Delta tried to explain.

But Val held her hand up, "No way, Mayor. I'll just stick to the rock way of doing things."

"Fine! But your conscience is gonna get to you!" Aggie warned

"Oh! And by conscience you mean?" Val didn't know about that one either.

Poppy yelled frustratingly, "UUGHH! 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."

"Huh. Sounds like a real drag. Pass," Val said before walking away.

"What? Ugh! You can't pass on your-! Oh, nevermind! Ugh, I've gotta hug something!" Poppy was looking for something to hug.

"You can hug me," Aggie opened her arms, and let Poppy hug her, but the Magic Musical Troll put her arms down, and admitted, "Now I feel uncomfortable."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, Poppy, Delta, Barb, and Aggie were having snacks with biscuits and tea in Poppy's pod.

Suddenly, Val came in screaming in distress, "Your Majesties! Please, I need your help... with this!" She showed them her shoulder.

Barb narrowed her eyes to look at something on Val's shoulder, but nothing's there, "Your shoulder?"

Val then looked down, and saw her glo-mato conscience herself, "They can't see me!"

"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 glomato," Aggie guessed.

"Ooh, that Troll's perceptive." The glomato giggled as it showed everywhere around Val's head while she tried to look away from it.

"Yes, okay! How do I get rid of it?" Val pleaded

"Whel, ta awful clear y'all's conscience, ya have ta mighty think about what ya done. Ayn' then faand ayy way ta express y'all's regret," Delta explained.

"Oh, maybe in a thoughtful card or-" Poppy suggested.

"Card! Got it!" Val ran off, and a second later, she came back with a card.

Poppy took the card, and read it, "'Hollee, sorry I did that thing I did the one time. Vall.'"

Delta, Barb, and Aggie looked at the card themselves as they made the same unsatisfied faces that Poppy made.

Delta took the card, and showed Val's writings to her, "Uh, y'all misspelled Holly. Ayn' ya misspelled Val!"

"You never misspelled your own name before," Barb said.

Val then started to become terrified of her conscience, which the female leaders didn't see, as she backed away.

"Oh, please, Your Majesties, what else can I do?" She begged for help.

"I don't know! Sometimes, when I need to say sorry, I write a song and-" Poppy explained, but Val cut her off.

"Song! Yes! I can write a song!" The Rock ambassador ran away, making Poppy twirl a bit.

"Wow, she seems stressed. I bet she could use a card," the Pop Queen took out a paper and a scissor, and started cutting to make a card.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Poppy, Delta, Barb, and Aggie went back to Country Corral to see how Holly was doing.

"Hey, Holly!" They greeted.

"Looks like you're a-feelin' bettuurr," Delta smiled.

"Yup, I'm happy ta say I've let bygones be bygones..."Holly chuckled before turning angry again as she recalled how Val smashed her glo-mato, "By witch ay mean how Val done took out all huurr pent-up aggression on my poaw glo-mato who nevuurr done ayy thing ta harm anyone! High road!" She then turned back to the four leaders, "So, I'm whippin' up ayy awful new fauurr entry: Cookie dough sculptures!"

She showed her cookie dough sculptures that look like Dante, Lownote and Synth.

"Well, goo'ness gracious, that there is great, Holly!" Delta said proudly.

Aggie then looked over at a Synth cook dough sculpture before she could open her mouth to take a bite on the head.

"Nahwt so fast! Naw one's a-takin' ayy bite on my cookie dough sculpture!" Holly warned her as Aggie then attempted to lick, "Nahwt even ayy lik!" Then, Aggie tried to take a small speck, "Nahwt even ayy spek!"

As Holly kept warning her, Aggie just let that go.

"Hey, by the way, we're sort of looking for Val. Have you seen her anywhere?" Poppy asked,

"Holly!" Val then called through the speakers with Demo, and her drummer, "I wrote this for you! Ow!"

"Wha...?" Holly was speechless.

"Uh-oh," Barb murmured.

"Ooh, this could be bad," Poppy commented.

"Prepare to be apologized!"

Val: I smashed your favorite vegetable
'Cuz it was, oh, so smashable
But now I got this glomato
And, uh-oh, he's gotta go

I wrote this song

Demo: I wrote this song

Val: In hoped that I might get him
Gone, gone, gone, gone
I might get him
Gone, gone, gone, gone!

Help me get him gone!

At the end of the song, a strong shockwave came out of the speakers, causing the cookie dough sculptures to crumble and explode

"So? Apology accepted?" Val came down from the speakers, and saw Holly's cookie sculptures crumble.

Holly got up, and picked up a cookie dough sculpture of Synth's said before it melted.

"So..., can I eat it now?" Aggie asked. Though she knew it's not a good time, but she wanted to eat some

"Oh, oh, Holly, I am so sorry, I-" Poppy tried to comfort the Country Ambassador, but she was too upset to feel better.

"I...ey just... ay nee ayy minute. Ya'll," Holly leaped from her destroyed cookie dough sculptures, and walked into her pod before shouting, "HIGH ROAD!"

"Oh, man. I made it even worse?!" Val was now scared as she found out her glo-mato conscience was getting bigger. She screamed and backed away as her conscience was still invisible to the four leaders, "Oh, you were right, girls, my conscience is gonna eat me," She then looked back at her invisible conscience before crying, "Wow, eaten by a gnarly projection of my own inner demons. Co cool."

"Wow, ya Rock trolls have y'all's own perspective ov a-dealin' something awful bad," Delta commented.

"No, Val! We didn't say that your conscience was gonna eat you, we said it would catch up with you and that you would have to listen to it!" Poppy explained

"Listen to it?" Val inquired.

"I know it's weird, but I listen to my own conscience as well, and look what it made me now," Barb said.

Then, Val started to talk to her invisible conscience, and Poppy chuckled.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, Val rang Holly's doorbell as Holly came out with cookie dough still on her hair.

"Val."

"Hey, Holly, are you all right?" Val asked

"Oh, I'm fine. Cookie dough is darn good faw the hauurr. Makes it nice ayn' shiny," Holly wiped the cookie dough off her hair.

"Really?"

"Ay don't know! But I'm just gonna keep tellin' myself that there 'till ay get it all out! Now what is it?!"

Val sighed before confessing, "Holly, look. For the first time in my life, I've actually started listening to my conscience," She turned around as she looked at the four leaders and her glo-mato conscience, which is on Poppy's hair, "I really thought about how smashing your glo-mato must have made you feel. Is this thing I learned called empanada."

"Empathy," Poppy, Delta, barb, Aggie, and the glo-mato conscience corrected her

"Empathy. And all I wanted to do is to tell you... I'm really sorry. And to give you this," Val showed Holly a pot of baby glo-mato

"Aw, ayy lil' baby cheery glo-mato,"Holly cooed and took the pot

"Yeah. It might 'till grow in time for the fair... if we both cheer it on together."

"And it definitely will if all seven of us chip in!" Poppy added.

"As long as I don't wear skirts and stuff," Barb requested.

"Aww! Get in here, y'all!" Holly pulled the six girls with her hair into a hug, and Val's conscience flew away.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, when Holly planted her new glo-mato on the ground, the girl were dressed in cheerleader dress, except Barb, and held their pom-poms.

"Ya ready, y'all?" Holly asked

"I guess," Val groaned, "Stupid empanada."

The girl cheered for the glomato to grow, and once they did, it grew a little big.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, this is my own version of Cheery Glo-mato. I decided to put Barb and Delta there because... well, it would be nice, and Barb has done wrong things before, so she might teach Val to show empathy.

The song doesn't belong to me.
