(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."

Finnian, the green apple, types on a computer "My name is Finnian and this is a true story..."

Finnian and other fruits ride the bus as he narrates I RIDE THE BUS
TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY.
NONE OF MY FRIENDS
TAKE THE BUS SO I SIT ALONE.
SOMETIMES KIDS KICK
THE BACK OF MY SEAT.
AND SAY MEAN JOKES.

A pair of bananas seating behind him say WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?
YEAH, I THOUGHT THE ZOO WAS
CLOSED TODAY.
I GUESS THEY LEFT THE CAGE OPEN

Finnian talks to a bigger apple in a living room and narrates WHEN I GOT HOME, I TOLD MY MOM.
SHE WAS NOT HAPPY.

The mother leaves and comes back with an envelope, and says GIVE THIS LETTER
TO YOUR TEACHER.

Finnian waits for the bus with other fruits and narrates THE NEXT DAY,
MY TEACHER GAVE ME A BUS BUDDY
TO HELP ME NOT
GET BULLIED ON THE BUS.

A pear standing behind him says HI, I'M COOPER.

Finnian sits with Cooper in the bus and says THE NOTE WORKED.
NOW I HAVE SOMEONE TO SIT WITH.
AND KIDS DON'T BULLY ME.

Back on his computer, Finnian types "I?m glad I told my mom and teacher what was happening."

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