(music plays)

The show opens with a green apple holding up the word "It." The apple stands in front of a green billboard that reads "Matters." An orange and banana walk up to the apple. The apple jumps on top of the orange and places the word "It" next to "Matters."

Atshani, the grape, sits on a couch, typing on a laptop. A caption reads "Hi, I?m Atshani and this is my story..."

Atshani plays in a playground with other fruits and says SOMETHING HAPPENED
TO ME AT SCHOOL.
SOMEBODY TOLD A LIE ABOUT ME.

Two oranges appear, lie and say YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS!

The other fruits laugh and Atshani narrates BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE,
BECAUSE I DO HAVE FRIENDS.
NONE OF MY FRIENDS
STOOD UP FOR ME.

Atshani is alone in a gym and cries. Then, he talks to the teacher, a cantaloupe, and narrates I FINALLY GOT THE NERVE
AND TOLD THE TEACHER.

The teacher says I'M GLAD YOU TOLD ME
WHAT'S HAPPENING.

The teacher now talks to the oranges, and Atshani narrates THE BULLIES GOT IN TROUBLE
AND STOPPED MAKING FUN OF ME.
MY TEACHER TOLD ME I SHOULD TELL
MY FRIENDS HOW I WAS FEELING.

Atshani talks to the other fruits in the playground and continues MY FRIENDS APOLOGIZED.

The banana says SORRY.

The apple says I'M SORRY, TOO.

Atshani narrates THEY WERE TOO AFRAID OF
THE BULLIES TO HELP ME.

Back on the couch, Atshani types and a caption reads "If you need a friend?s help, you have to ask them... and if someone is bullying you, you have to stand up for yourself."

He says THAT'S MY STORY,
AND IT MATTERS.
