‐ Ah!
[ loud metal music ]
Val, it's too loud!
Val!
‐ Oh, good! You're here. I need your help with something.
‐ Wait. Were you making all that noise just so I'd come over here?
‐ Yeah, I wasn't gonna walk all the way over to you, was I?
‐ Uh. What can I do, Val?
‐ My manager, Demo, has been acting all weird lately.
He's been super tired, missing jam sessions
and yesterday he wore a tie...
without irony!
‐ Well, did you try talking to him?
‐ Meh...
I'm not really good at all that mushy "talking‐'bout‐stuff" stuff.
But you are.
So, I need you to, like, talk to him for me.
‐ Aw, Val! You're really worried about your friend!
‐ Ugh! Stop! Will you talk to Demo, or not?
‐ Of course, Val. Don't worry. I'll get to the bottom of it!

‐ Phew.
[ sighs ]
‐ Hey, Demo! ‐ Oh!
Hey, uh, Poppy! W‐what's shakin'?
‐ Not much, Demo. Then, again,
I'm not the one sneaking into my own home trying not to be noticed.
So the question is, what's shaking with you?
‐ Eh, n‐nothing's shaking! Heh‐heh!
‐ Ah, but see, I'm a very good listener,
and the way your voice just cracked tells me that there is...
indeed...
something...
shaking.
‐ What? No! It doesn't!
[ chuckles ]
‐ Uh‐huh! You just glanced up, up as in Classical Crest.
This has something to do with the classical Trolls!
‐ How are you even doing this, man? ‐ That's it! You've been sneaking off
to play classical music with the Classical Trolls!
‐ Hush! Fine. You've figured it out!
Now, you get out of my head, you adorable, pink lady wizard.
‐ Absolutely!
DEMO: Come with me.
I'll show you what I've been up to.

One! Two! One, two, three, four!

‐ Oh! It's classical guitar!
MINUET: Indeed!
You would never expect to hear such a delicate melody
from a Hard Rock Troll, but everything he does exudes classical.
‐ That was called "The Piercing Scream Of The Flaming Skull".
[ clapping ]
‐ Demo, that was so gentle, so sensitive! Why would you keep that a secret?
‐ 'Cause Hard Rock Trolls don't do "gentle and sensitive".
Especially Val.
If she catches you doing anything that she thinks doesn't rock,
you get...
"the face."
‐ Here you go, dude! ‐ Ah, how righteous of you!
‐ Ah!
‐ Uh!
[ chuckling ]
‐ I get it, Demo. It's hard to be vulnerable
when you think someone's gonna judge you. But you can't hide this!
You clearly love classical culture.
‐ Whoa, whoa! I said I like classical guitar!
But there is no evidence I love classical culture!
‐ Breathtaking performance, Demo!
‐ Many thanks, my classical brother!
[ chuckle ]
POPPY: Uh...
‐ Okay, I love it! But you can't tell Val.
‐ Ooh. I'm not very good at keeping secrets.
Even my own! Hopscotch is overrated!
See?
‐ Please, Poppy!
I'm practicing for a big concert here in the Crest this weekend.
And I can't let fear of "the face" distract me.
Can you just keep it quiet 'till after the show?
‐ Uh...
‐ Please?
‐ Uh!
So, Val! Uh...
I talked to Demo. And, it turns out, he's fine!
It's all "Welcome to Demo Town! Population: Zero worries."
[ chuckles ]
‐ What?
‐ Nothing. Just, you can relax!
[ chuckles ]
‐ Wait. Your voice just cracked. And you glanced up. Which means...
something.
I don't know. Anyway, thanks.
‐ No problem!
Good morning, Trollstopia!
Ah!
And good morning, Demo and Val!
‐ Get this, Poppy,
Val saw me leaving the hollow this morning
and asked where I was going!
‐ Oh! Did she? And what did you say?
‐ That I was coming to see you,
'cause you needed to pick out new speakers.
Remember the new speakers?
[ tense instrumental music ]
‐ Yup! I asked Demo to pick out speakers!
That is the thing that I asked for!
‐ Really?
‐ Mm‐hmm!
‐ Cool. I love speakers. I'll join!
‐ Oh, great!
VAL: Let's crank this bad boy up to loud
and see what it can do!

‐ Ah, good morn‐‐
Ah! Demo and Val!
Here! Again!
‐ So, Demo says you plan to spend the day detonating pyrotechnics?
‐ Uh...
[ tense instrumental music ]
No! No way! No explosives!
Because my eyebrows are way too cute to get blown off!
Demo, we have to tell her what's really going on.
‐ No! Poppy, wait!
‐ Val, the truth is...
Demo and I have been planning surprise birthday party for you!
[ sighs ]
‐ What? But my birthday is ten months away!
‐ To Val's birthday!
In ten months.
‐ Welp! I'd better get going! Lots of birthday stuff to plan!
[ chuckles ]
‐ See you later!
‐ Demo's been spending time with the Classical Trolls!
‐ What?
Where did you get an idea like that?
‐ I just figured it out, the moment he took that sip.
He's clearly hiding something!
‐ But, heh...
[ winces ]
‐ I'm going to Classical Crest to get to the bottom of this!
But I still want that surprise party!
‐ Uh! I gotta intercept her before she gets to Demo!

‐ Yeah! Honestly, Demo, your classical guitar is really good.
When I hear it, the scream of my soul echoes endlessly
in the flaming recesses of my rock heart.
