[ Poppy humming ]
‐ Good morning. ‐ Good morning, Queen Poppy!
‐ Okay! Top spin coming at you.
‐ Alright, Tiny!
Way to serve that ball... to...
nobody?
Um, are you looking for someone to play with?
‐ What do you mean, Daddy's friend Aunt Poppy? I've got someone.
He's the P in my posse,
he turns on my entourage,
he's Shiny Diamond!
‐ But, Tiny, there's nobody‐‐
‐ Now give me some of homie handshake love, Shiny D!
Okay, yeah.
Up top. Yeah.
Okay, let's go! Already.
‐ Poppy? ‐ Oh, hey, Guy.
‐ Just a little hairs up,
Shiny Diamond is Tiny's new imaginary friend.
‐ Oh, an imaginary friend!
‐ Yes, but to Tiny, he's very real.
He means the world to my little guy.
‐ Yeah, no, of course.
When I was a kid, I had an imaginary friend too,
Brunhilda.
She always made me feel so safe, 'cause no matter where I went,
even when I was all alone, I always had a good friend close by.
But I haven't not seen her in a long time.
Don't worry, Guy, I would never do anything to spoil this for Tiny.
‐ Yeah! Uh‐huh. Up top, Shiny!
Okay, let's go. Yeah!
Here we go, up top.
Dismount and... handshake over, people.
‐ Woo! So impressive!
Well, Shiny, it was a pleasure meeting you.
Oh, strong grip.
Okay, I'm up to hang out with Val, have a super fun day, you two!
‐ Wait, you're just going to leave, Aunt Poppy?
‐ Uh, what do you mean?
Well, usually, when you meet somebody new,
you drop everything to get to know them.
‐ Huh, I guess I do, don't I?
‐ Yeah, so? Why wouldn't you do it for Shiny Diamond?
‐ Why? Um...
No reason at all!
I would love to spend some get‐to‐know‐you time with Shiny!
‐ Well, alright, Aunty P!
Then let's level up this party, Shiny Diamond style!
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah!
♪ You'll be best friends forever ♪
♪ And ever to the end ♪
♪ Every day that we're together ♪
♪ Is another day well spent ♪
♪ Yeah, we'll be best friends forever ♪
♪ And never, never better Than when we're together ♪
♪ Whether we're playing hide and seek Or maybe freeze ♪
♪ Tag is never bad ♪
♪ It's like we have ESP I get you, you get me ♪
♪ And it's hard to imagine There's anyone else out there ♪
♪ Who sparkles like us And make just as good a pair ♪
♪ The way we do is me and me you ♪
♪ Through and through, hand in hand We'll be best friends to the very end! ♪

‐ Take it away, Shiny.
Oh, mic drop!
Tiny and Shiny out!
Yeah, way to jump rope, Shiny D! Woo!
‐ Popsqueak! I thought we we're going to hang.
Uh, well, this looks...
I don't know, bizarre? Painful? Pick your adjective.
‐ Sorry, Val, it's just...
Tiny wanted me to spend time with his imaginary friend Shiny‐‐
And I don't want knowing Shiny isn't real, so I went along with it?
‐ Oh. Well, I know this isn't really like me,
but I actually think that's very sweet.
‐ Really? ‐ No!
‐ Oh.
‐ Poppy, what's your plan here? You're just going to keep letting him
yank on your hair forever to protect him from the truth?
‐ Not forever, I'm sure Shiny will get bored of jumping hair eventually.
‐ Shiny's bored of jumping hair.
‐ Oh, really?
See?
‐ Now he wants you to teach him how to ride a bike.
‐ Aw!
Sorry, what now?
So you want me to teach Shiny how to ride a bike all on his own?
‐ Why, Popsqueak?
Is there some reason you can't teach Shiny?
‐ Yeah, Aunt Poppy, is there a reason?
‐ No, no, no!
Reason?
So... I'll just...
‐ Okay, he's ready, Aunt Poppy, let go!
‐ You sure, Tiny? Maybe we should‐‐!
‐ He'll never learn if you don't let go!
He's ready, Aunt Poppy!
[ Poppy gasps ]
[ Tiny Diamond gasps ]
Oh! He wasn't ready!
He wasn't ready, Aunt Poppy!
POPPY: No, no, no, no!
‐ Shiny? Shiny, please, tell your boy you're not hurt.
Uh‐huh, uh‐huh, yeah.
Okay. Uh‐huh.
No, just speak up.
Yeah, okay, uh‐huh.
Well, he's got no cuts or broken bones.
‐ Oh, that's good.
‐ But he says the emotional trauma runs real deep.
Dang, dang, it should've been me.
‐ Oh, Tiny, don't be sad.
Believe me, Shiny isn't upset, not really.
‐ Wait, he isn't? But he just said he is.
‐ Oh. Uh, well, yeah, true.
‐ Well, then why'd you say he's not really upset?
What do you mean by that?
‐ Uh... Well, I... All I meant was... um...
Wait, I know what will cheer Shiny up!
His very own...
cuddle puppy!
‐ What?
Oh.
Oh, he's so cute!
He's licking my face!
Here, Shiny.
‐ Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?
Yeah! Throw the stick, Shiny!
Go get it, Glitter Dog!
‐ Oh, please, Val, stop sulking!
Shiny's happy again, and all I did was feed into Tiny's fantasy a little.
What's the harm in that?
TINY DIAMOND: Aunt Poppy! ‐ Ah!
‐ Glitter Dog is gone! ‐ What?
‐ He just ran off into the woods!
Shiny's worried sick, we got to go find him!
Come on, everybody!
‐ Um, you were saying?
‐ Glitter Dog? Glitter Dog!
‐ Wait, Tiny, it's okay, Glitter Dog is, um...
right here!
‐ No, he's not, that's some other dog.
‐ Uh, huh‐huh.
Uh... huh?
‐ Well, now you're holding nothing!
Is this a game to you?
Wait, you hear that barking?
‐ Barking?
‐ There he is!
‐ Oh, good.
‐ Oh, wow.
‐ He's stuck in the middle of that bridge! You got to rescue him, Aunt Poppy!
‐Ah! ‐Ah!
Okay, Poppy, this whole situation has gotten officially very uncool.
You cannot go out there.
‐ Yeah, yeah, Val, I think you're right.
Tiny... I...
[ Poppy gasps ]
‐ Please, Aunt Poppy, save Glitter Dog...
for Shiny.
‐ Never mind, I'm going out there!
‐ Yeah!
‐ Seriously?
‐ Yes, Val, seriously.
‐ Poppy, stop! Come back!
‐ Keep going, Aunt Poppy, I believe in you!
‐ No, don't! This is way out of hand!
‐ You're setting a heroic example for my impressionable young mind!
‐ Ugh.
‐ It's okay, Val! It seems pretty sturdy!
Looks like some French braid action on these joists,
so I think it's pretty safe‐‐ Ah!
Okay, other than that,
I think it's pretty safe. Ah!
Uh... other than that...
Hey!
Okay, forget this.
Clearly, I've taken things way too far, I'm coming back.
Ah! Ah!
‐ Ah! ‐ Ah!
Ah!
POPPY: No!
Thank you, Val.
‐ Can you just tell him already?
‐ Tiny, I've been trying to avoid this all day, but...
there's something I've got to tell you.
‐ No, Aunt Poppy, there's something I've got to tell you.
Shiny Diamond isn't real.
‐ What?
You knew? When did you...?
‐ About 15 minutes after I imagined him,
but then you clearly seemed to think he was real,
and I didn't want to spoil it for you, so...
‐ But I went out on the bridge.
‐ Yeah, in hindsight, Tiny Diamond took that part way too far.
But hey, I'm just a kid, what's your excuse?
‐ But‐‐ But, I almost‐‐
‐ Okay, glad we got that all worked out.
It's been real.
Bless up! Tiny out.
‐ Uh...
‐ Wow. Am I glad that's over with,
because now I can finally introduce you to Rockarella,
and boy, oh, boy, do we have some fun things planned for you!
[ alien speaking unintelligibly ]
‐ Captain, the alien sent a message, and it's as you suspected,
they say they rock harder than we can!
‐ What are we going to do?
‐ 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.
‐ Set photons to hardcore.
Rock on.
[ Val and Alien playing metal music ]
[ Val making guitar sounds ]
‐ Uh... is she okay?
‐ Yep, Val's just been in a Hard Rock sci‐fi fantasy
ever since Lownote Jones' big announcement.
To help us explore Funk culture,
he's going to let any Troll who wants to fly the Vibe Town spaceship.
‐ Wow!
‐ All you have to do is take his week‐long flying class first.
‐ Wait, I got to take what now?
‐ My name...
is Mr...
[ Val sighs ]
‐ Lownote...
‐ Ah...
‐ Jones.
‐ Ugh, finally.
‐ Baby.
‐ Oh...
‐ Any questions before we begin?
‐ 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?
‐ What a delightfully shortsighted 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.
‐ Oh, Mr. Lownote, same exact question,
just rephrased in a slightly different way,
can I, please, just fly Vibe Town right now?
[ bell dings ]
‐ Well, sure you can.
‐ Yes!
[ Val making guitar sounds ]
‐ In textbook form!
‐ Huh?
‐ Oh! ‐ Oh!
‐ Welcome to the exciting world
of reading about the exciting world of flying.
[ students talking indistinctly ]
‐ Woo, this spaceship class is a brain‐wrinkler, yo.
Cylindrical Interstellar Warp Core technology ain't as easy
as my Mama led me to believe.
‐ Hey, Val, we're forming a study‐buddy group,
want to be a study buddy and study, buddy?
‐ Hmm, I would, but I worry it'll conflict with my preexistent plans
to not study and goof off, so...
‐ Not study?
Uh, Val, you do realize that you don't get to fly if you don't pass the test, right?
‐ Oh, I'll pass, using a little thing I call the Val method.
What's the Val method? Glad you asked.
‐ We didn't! ‐ The Val method
is a set of guidelines that help me crush a test while making the bare
minimum of effort.
Guideline number one, every teacher has a tell.
Take Lownote, for example.
Whenever he's about to say something that'll be on the test,
he clears his throat and raises an eyebrow.
‐ Now...
[ Lownote clears throat ]
This button activates the ship's vertical thrust...
‐ Which means I got to pay attention.
But when the brow goes down...
‐ And this button activates the ship's cup holders.
‐ That's my cue to think about nothing but Val stuff.
[ Lownote coughs ]
‐ 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...
[ Lownote clears throat ]
Interstellar objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.
♪ Val method! ♪♪
Guideline number two,
there's always a risk the teacher will call on you
when you're not listening.
‐ Val Thundershock?
When is the right time to pull the red lever?
‐ Uh...
So just stay calm and restate the question as an answer.
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.
‐ Very true.
Did everyone hear what Val just said?
[ students murmuring ]
‐ Val method.
Guideline numero three‐o,
if you really need some R&R from the boring Q&A,
get the teacher talking about stuff they really like.
‐ Now bear with me, the ship's Evasive Maneuver Guidance System
is incredibly complicated, so this'll take a while.
‐ Oh, Mr. Lownote, sir, would you say it's as complicated
as playing a funky bass riff?
‐ Far more complicated, Val.
In fact, the comparison is downright absurd.
But since you brought it up...
here's a little something I've been groovin' on.
[ students cheering ]
‐ 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...
‐ Val got a perfect score.
‐ What?
‐ Val method.
‐ But how did‐‐? She didn't even‐‐
‐ You got a good score too, Poppy.
I mean, not Val good, but still good.
‐ Well‐‐ I don't‐‐ She‐‐
‐ Maybe you should've used the Val method, eh, Popsqueak?
‐ But... But Val got‐‐ How'd she‐‐?
‐ And because Poppy and Val got the highest scores,
Val score, again, being the higher of the two, they get to fly first.
TROLLS: Yeah!
‐ But... her score was‐‐
‐ Whoa! ‐ Whoa!
‐ Okay, Val, you know what to do.
‐ Oh, yeah, better believe I do.
Woo!

VIBE TOWN COMPUTER: Danger. Danger.
‐ Uh‐oh, we're headed into a glitter‐roid shower.
‐ Ah! So smashy!
‐ Engage navigation mode!
‐ Ah! ‐ Ah!
‐ 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.
‐ The cup holders?
‐ It's easy, just do like I showed you in class.
‐ Eh... Uh...
Ah!
‐ Oh, this is bad.
‐ Ah! Val, you just beamed Lownote off the ship!
‐ What? No, it's not my fault,
I just pressed the cup holder button.
‐ No, the cup holder button is the one that looks like a cup holder!
‐ Oh, look at that.
‐ And you would've known that if you had paid attention in class!
‐ Ah! ‐ Ah!
‐ Ah, woah!
Okay, don't panic, I can fly us out of this.
Uh... how do we use this evasive‐maneuver thingy?
‐ Gee, I don't know! But thanks to the Val method,
I can play a funky riff on the bass guitar!
‐ Uh, okay, we can just teleport Lownote back.
‐ Cooper? ‐ Cooper?
‐ I am not Lownote Jones.
[ Val, Poppy and Cooper screaming ]
‐ I'm so sorry, Popsqueak, you were right,
I should've taken the class way more seriously.
The Val method doomed us!
‐ Ah! ‐ Ah!
VIBE TOWN COMPUTER: Simulation mode terminated.
‐ Huh? ‐ Huh?
‐ Simulation mode? ‐ Simulation mode?
[ Val and Poppy gasp ]
‐ We... We never went to space?
‐ No, you didn't.
‐ Then... you knew I wasn't ready to fly the Funk ship?
‐ Indeed, so Poppy and I decided to teach you a little lesson
by putting you in that simulation.
‐ You never told me it was a simulation!
‐ Oh, right, I knew I forgot something.
What a world!
‐ Well, whatever it was, you were so right, Lownote,
I wasn't ready.
But I promise you next time I will be.
‐ And how are you going to do that?
‐ I'm going to take your class again and really pay attention this time,
and, and I'm going to read your textbook cover to cover.
In fact, I'm going to go get started right now.
You hear me, world? This is a new Val!
Study, study, study!
‐ Wow, Val was actually excited about studying, how did you do that?
‐ By following a set of guidelines for handling students
who try to make the bare minimum of effort.
I call it...
the Lownote method.
