Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures

[repeated line]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Have a berry nice day!

Sweet Grapes:
Sour, can I talk to you about your birthday?

Sour Grapes:
[sourly] You mean OUR birthday. I have this condition called "twin sister", in case you haven't noticed.

Sweet Grapes:
Not this year.

Sour Grapes:
What do you mean?

Sweet Grapes:
This year I'm giving you an early birthday present.

Sour Grapes:
[rolls her eyes upward] Oh... please, don't let it be matching jumpsuits again.

Sweet Grapes:
No, no. My present to you this year is a birthday all your own.

Sour Grapes:
Say that again?

Sweet Grapes:
This year I'm giving up celebrating my birthday, so you can have the day for yourself.

Sour Grapes:
Is this like that time you found 10,001 knock-knock jokes on the Berryweb and thought they were so funny, you read them to me for eleven hours straight?

Sweet Grapes:
This is no joke. Your party, your presents, your birthday.

Sour Grapes:
[smiles] For real?

Sweet Grapes:
For real.

Sour Grapes:
[excitedly] YES!

[at Sweet's surprise, Sour hugs her warmly and they jump up and down joyfully]

[the Berry girls meet Huckleberry]

Strawberry Shortcake:
I'm Strawberry Shortcake. I live there with my friends.

Huckleberry Pie:
Oh, hi there. I'm Huckleberry Pie.

Orange Blossom:
Hello, I'm Orange.

Cherry Jam:
Hi, I'm Cherry.

Blueberry Muffin:
Hello, Huckleberry. I'm Blueberry.

Strawberry Shortcake:
So you've been driving from town to town in Huck's Pup Mobile, getting dogs adopted.

Huckleberry Pie:
Yeah, I started with 25. I'm taking these... leftover guys to Berry Big City, to start Huckleberry's home for pets.

Cherry Jam:
[impressed] Oh...

Strawberry Shortcake:
That is quite admirable.

[the girls play croquet. Raspberry's mind is elsewhere, and she does not focus on the game. The ball is heading her direction]

Cherry Jam:
Raspberry, watch out!

[Raspberry jumps, barely evading the ball, trips and falls. She giggles embarrassedly]

Raspberry Torte:
Oh! I lost again!

[the other girls approach]

Blueberry Muffin:
You've lost three games in a row.

Plum Pudding:
We've heard about being a good sport, but this is... extreme.

Strawberry Shortcake:
[chuckles] Raspberry, is there something else you might be so giggly about?

Raspberry Torte:
[giggles] OK, OK... I'm sorry, just... OK. So... last night, right after the talent show, something berry unbelie... well, incredible... uhm, I mean... just great happened!

[a flashback from the previous episode:
the talent scout gives her calling card to Raspberry, asking her to call and talk about her outfits]

Cherry Jam, Blueberry Muffin, Plum Pudding, Strawberry Shortcake, Lemon Meringue, Orange Blossom:
[impressed] Wow!

Raspberry Torte:
Yep! Here's her card.

[Raspberry shows the card to her friends. They react excitedly]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Raspberry, that's great!

[Cherry holds a photo of Raspberry]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Cherry, is there any reason you wouldn't be happy for Raspberry?

Cherry Jam:
[nods solemnly] Yes, there is.

Strawberry Shortcake:
I mean... we are all going to miss her, but... this is her chance to be a star.

Cherry Jam:
When you're a star, sometimes it's hard to be yourself. Raspberry isn't acting like herself. And the Raspberry we knew was happier.

Strawberry Shortcake:
So you're not jealous at Raspberry!

Cherry Jam:
[smiles] Oh, no. I'm worried for her.

[Cherry looks again at the photo. She and Strawberry look at a shining star in the sky]

Cherry Jam:
You know, a star shines much brighter here than in Berry Big City.

[first scene:
Orange is in her store, using a pogo stick to place canned goods on the high shelves. Berrykin Bloom enters. Impressed, he watches how Orange bounces up and down]

Berrykin Bloom:
Uh, hello, Miss Orange.

Orange Blossom:
Oh, hi, Berrykin Bloom! Thank you so much for getting me this pogo stick. Very thoughtful of you!

Strawberry Shortcake:
We may be bitty, but I know we can do big things!

Cherry Jam:
I've created a musical monster!

[Plum and Apple try to persuade Strawberry to put on the Groove Booties. Strawberry hesitates, recalling how troublesome the Booties were on the previous episode]

Strawberry Shortcake:
[to Apple] You... ah... you're sure this is safe?

[Apple nods]

Plum Pudding:
[laughs] The only risk is: you'll turn into too good dancer.

Apple Dumplin:
Or the computer crashes and your feet get deleted...

Strawberry Shortcake:
[shocked] What?

Apple Dumplin:
[smiles] Eh... tech humor.

[first scene of the show:
Strawberry and Orange sit leisurely by the river bank, dipping their feet in the water]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Ahhh... we should do this tomorrow with the rest of the girls.

Sweet Grapes:
I... I never told a lie in my life. That's just so... wrong.

[Berrykin Bloom offers a "Hot and Not" chili pepper to Sweet. She smells it, and lets Sour smell it too]

Sweet Grapes:
Mmm... they look beautiful, and smell great.

Sour Grapes:
[folds her arms] As much as I don't like to agree with my sister, she's right.

[Berrykin Bloom bows gracefully]

[the twins taste Berrykin Bloom's "Hot and Not" chili sauce]

Sweet Grapes:
Mmm... that's the best chili sauce ever!

[Sweet turns to her sister]

Sweet Grapes:
You have to have it at the caf?.

Sour Grapes:
[smiling, whispering to Berrykin Bloom] That's twice in one day I agree with her. I'm starting to get worried.

[Sour and Apple prompt Berrykin Bloom to enter the contest]

Sour Grapes:
When I was faced with making eight dozen rhubarb trifles in one night, did I say "It just isn't my style"? When my souffl? deflated like a flat tire, did I climb under the covers and pull the sheet over my head?

Apple Dumplin:
No!

Sour Grapes:
I say: enter that contest, and beat him!

Apple Dumplin:
Yay!

Sour Grapes:
It's amazing what you can do when you really try.

[Sweet and Sour taste Berrykin Bloom's chili sauce]

Sweet Grapes:
It's wonderful, Berrykin Bloom. What's your secret?

Berrykin Bloom:
[chuckles] No secret, really. I follow three simple rules: you can't rush, everything takes time; never give up, there is a solution for every problem; and always have a little loving care, any job worth doing is worth doing well!

[Blueberry looks for tracks with her magnifying glass while it is raining]

Blueberry Muffin:
If I can't find them with my official Patty Persimmon genius detective magnifying glass, then they're gone!

Strawberry Shortcake:
[horrified] My pets?

Blueberry Muffin:
No, the puff crumbs. I can't believe someone ate them.

Orange Blossom:
OK. I'm reading a Patty Persimmon mystery book that Blueberry recommended, and there is a search party scene, and they were able to find the missing Glimmerberry by splitting up.

Strawberry Shortcake:
Great idea!

[the search party of Orange, Raspberry, Berrykin Bloom and Mr. Longface come to a spot where there is a bent plant. Berrykin Bloom examines the plant and concludes that the pets went that way]

Orange Blossom:
Wow! This really reminding me of the mystery Blueberry gave me: the search party was in a dark wood like this. Well, they were tracking the missing Glimmerberry, the mean nasty very naughty thief tracking them!

Berrykin Bloom:
[gasps in fear] Oh...

Raspberry Torte:
Oh, hey, I read that mystery: "Patty Persimmon, genius detective, and the case of the mean, nasty, berry naughty Glimmerberry thief"!

Mr. Longface:
[worried] Exactly how mean, nasty and... eh... what was the rest?

Raspberry Torte:
BERRY naughty.

Mr. Longface:
Oh dear...

Orange Blossom:
But it turns out it was not the thief at all!

Mr. Longface:
[relieved] Oh... thank goodness.

Orange Blossom:
It was really a forest monster!

Raspberry Torte:
Yeah, they call it the "Slither-Slider".

[Berrykin Bloom and Mr. Longface shake in fear to hear about the imaginary monster]

[Kadiebug and Sadiebug rest at the opening of a hollow log. Kadiebug opens the snack basket, gives Sadiebug a glass of juice and a sandwich for herself, but Sadiebug snatches it from her. Kadiebug snatches the sandwich back]

Kadiebug:
Oh, hey! I was saving that sandwich for me!

Sadiebug:
[snatches the sandwich again] Finders keepers, losers weepers!

[Orange, Raspberry, Berrykin Bloom and Mr. Longface find a shelter from the rain. They make umbrellas of large leaves and flowers]

Orange Blossom:
Remember, Raspberry?

Raspberry Torte:
Yep. The Slither-Slider always strikes in the rain.

[Berrykin Bloom and Mr. Longface look at each other, worried]

[first scene:
Strawberry teaches her friends how to ice a cake, using a pastry bag. Custard jumps on a chair, trying to reach the cake]

Strawberry Shortcake:
No, Custard, this isn't for you.

Lemon Meringue:
[chuckles] C'mon, Custard. Down you go.

[Lemon takes Custard and places her on the floor]

Strawberry Shortcake:
So, you just squeeze the bag gently, make the frosting come out as you go... like so.

[Strawberry shows how to ice the cake, walking around it while pressing the bag]

Lemon Meringue:
Nice!

Orange Blossom:
Really nice!

Plum Pudding:
You're so good at that!

Raspberry Torte:
Oh, pretty!

Strawberry Shortcake:
[chuckles] Just takes a little practice. Anyone want to try? Lemon?

[Strawberry hands Lemon the pastry bag]

Lemon Meringue:
[hesitates] Oh, I just know I'm going to mess up your pretty cake.

Strawberry Shortcake:
Don't worry. No matter what it looks like, it will taste the same.

[Lemon ices the cake as Strawberry showed]

Lemon Meringue:
Hey, these don't look half bad... ahhh!

[the door opens, Princess Berrykin appears, holding her sceptre and a scroll. The noise makes Lemon jump, and she unintentionally squeezes the bag while it is pointed at Orange]

Princess Berrykin:
Girls, guess what!

[Lemon gasps when she sees Orange's face is covered with the icing. Custard jumps at Orange's lap and licks some of the icing off her face]

Plum Pudding:
[giggles] Well, hehe, you didn't mess up the cake!

Princess Berrykin:
Oh, I apologize for barging. I'm excited because I have some special news!

[Lemon hands Orange a napkin to clean her face]

[just as Orange finishes cleaning her face, Lemon places her elbows on the table, unintentionally pressing the pastry bag. Again, the icing is sprayed on Orange's face]

Orange Blossom:
[amused] Why do you keep frosting ME? Do I look like a cake?

Plum Pudding:
[chuckles] Hehe, you do now!

[Plum takes a napkin and helps Orange clean her face]

[Lemon comes out of her salon, exclaiming in excitement. She rushes to tell her friends the great news]

Lemon Meringue:
I did it! I did it! I did it! I did it!

[Lemon bumps into two Berrykins carrying a basket of fruit, makes them spin around. Then she passes near Plum, who is in the middle of dancing]

Lemon Meringue:
Plum, c'mon, you have to see! I did it!

[Plum stops dancing and looks after Lemon. Lemon passes by Orange, who is arranging oranges]

Lemon Meringue:
Orange, hurry, you have to see what I made!

[Lemon passes by Blueberry, who is sitting and reading a book]

Lemon Meringue:
Blueberry! Blueberry! C'mon!

[Blueberry closes the book, smiles and goes to Lemon. Lemon passes by Raspberry]

Lemon Meringue:
Raspberry! You've got to see this! You've got to!

[Raspberry steps out of her boutique, looking quizzically at Lemon. Lemon meets Strawberry, who is sweeping the path]

Lemon Meringue:
Strawberry, come see!

Strawberry Shortcake:
[smiles] See what?

[all the girls gather at Lemon's salon. They are fascinated to see Lemon's invention - a sparkling manicure]

Lemon Meringue:
That's the most incredible manicure ever! But there is more!

[Lemon moves her fingers. A pleasant music comes out of her manicured nails. The girls are excited]

Lemon Meringue:
They're musical! I call them "Glamicures".

Blueberry Muffin:
They're the greatest!

Orange Blossom:
Very best!

Raspberry Torte:
Most creative salon beautification!

[Lemon gives her friends the Glamicure]

Blueberry Muffin:
I really gotten myself into a pickle.

Bosley Bookworm:
You're... inside a pickle?

[the girls think about a plan]

Raspberry Torte:
Aha!

Orange Blossom:
Whatcha got?

Raspberry Torte:
A headache. I think I'm thinking too hard.

[at Blueberry's book store, Berrykin Bloom reads a story to the baby Berrykins]

Baby Berrykin #1, Baby Berrykin #2, Baby Berrykin #3:
Story time, story time, story time!

Berrykin Bloom:
Have a seat, little ones, and we shall begin.

[Berrykin Bloom takes a book from the book pile and opens it]

Berrykin Bloom:
Here's a nice book of nursery rhymes that I...

Baby Berrykin #1, Baby Berrykin #2, Baby Berrykin #3:
No! Not that one!

[the red baby Berrykin hops to the book pile and picks another book, gives it to Berrykin Bloom and returns to his place]

Baby Berrykin #1:
Read this one!

Baby Berrykin #2:
It's a lot better!

[the frightening image on the book cover gives Berrykin Bloom the creeps]

Berrykin Bloom:
Really? Well... eh... the case of the Slinking... Slinking Slinker. Oh, my! That sounds a bit... ehm... frightening.

Baby Berrykin #3:
But it's science!

Berrykin Bloom:
[reluctantly, opens the book and starts reading] Well then: "Once upon a time there was a Slinking Slinker who... who..." oh dear! Well, eh, are we sure we wouldn't rather hear these quite charming little nursery rhymes?

Baby Berrykin #1, Baby Berrykin #2, Baby Berrykin #3:
[exclaim together] Slinking Slinker, Slinking Slinker, Slinking Slinker!

Berrykin Bloom:
[continues reading] "... a Slinking Slinker who had... long sharp glistening teeth... and a growl as loud as a foghorn"... oh... that sounds dreadful!

[Berrykin Bloom finally reaches the end of the scary story]

Berrykin Bloom:
..."and the Slinking Slinker slinked into the night, and nobody ever knew what happened to him". And that's all, the end.

[relieved, Berrykin Bloom closes the book and places it on the pile]

Baby Berrykin #1, Baby Berrykin #2, Baby Berrykin #3:
[excitedly] Yay! Read it again! Read it again!

[Berrykin Bloom feels like he has had enough of the scary book]

Berrykin Bloom:
No, no, no. It's past by... er... past your bed time. Come along now, come along.

[disappointed, the baby Berrykins leave the store]

Berrykin Bloom:
Up you go. Get to bed. Pleasant dreams. He... don't think about...

[Berrykin Bloom looks fearfully at the scary book]

Berrykin Bloom:
...about that awful Slinking Slinker.

[Berrykin Bloom leaves the store, whistling in attempt to suppress his fear. Suddenly Berrykin Bill appears]

Berrykin Bill:
Hey!

[Berrykin Bloom jumps, yelling in fear, before he realizes it is not the Slinking Slinker but Berrykin Bill]

Berrykin Bill:
Is everything alright, Berrykin Bloom?

Berrykin Bloom:
Alright? How can it be alright when that Slinking Slinker is slinking about?

Berrykin Bill:
Slinking Slinker? Hmm... that doesn't sound good.

Berrykin Bloom:
Umph, I should say! Slinking Slinkers are only the most terrifying creastures in existence! I read it in a science book!

[the Berry girls are caught in the trap Berrykin Bruce set for the Slinking Slinker. The Berrykins approach, and they are puzzled to see the girls inside the trap. Berrykin Bruce frees them]

Berrykin Bruce:
The city is fine. That's why we built this trap - to protect Berry Bitty City from the Slinking Slinker.

Blueberry Muffin:
[chuckles] The Slinking Slinker? That's just a story. Did the baby Berrykins tell you it was real?

[everyone looks at Berrykin Bloom. He is very embarrassed]

Berrykin Bloom:
Oh... oops... hehe... I thought it was, and when I heard someone slinking...

Strawberry Shortcake:
Oh, my. That was just us, I'm afraid.

Berrykin Bloom:
[chuckles in relief] Hehe... I guess I let my worries carried me away.

[first scene:
Strawberry is riding her scooter to the construction site. Berrykin Bill supervises the work, giving instructions to the Berrykin workers]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Good morning, Berrykin Bill.

Berrykin Bill:
Good morning, Strawberry. And a berry beautiful one it is!

[Sweet describes her special S'more recipe with strawberry slices and shaved almond]

Plum Pudding:
Yum says Plum!

Sweet Grapes:
Neat says Sweet!

[Sweet giggles]

Orange Blossom:
Oh no says Orange!

Lemon Meringue:
Ah... that doesn't rhyme.

Orange Blossom:
No, no. The almond! I think I left it on the counter in my store.

Sweet Grapes:
I'll go with you.

[Orange and Sweet go to fetch the almond]

[Strawberry and Raspberry explain Sour their tradition of tall tales]

Strawberry Shortcake:
[chuckles] It's one of our long-standing campout traditions: tall tales.

Sour Grapes:
Tall tales?

Raspberry Torte:
Yes, we make up fun stories, like tales, like make-believe, and tell them around the campfire. Everyone gets a turn. The wild, more outrageous, the better.

Sour Grapes:
[sourly] Sounds outrageously thrilling. How about short tales? So we can go home soon.

Lemon Meringue:
[laughs] You're too funny, Sour.

[Sour teases Apple for the third time]

Apple Dumplin:
That's the last pineapple!

Cherry Jam:
You mean "the last straw"?

Sour Grapes:
[laughs] Don't you think one meanie in Berry Bitty City is enough?

[Apple leaves, after behaving rudely to the other girls. Lemon, Sweet, Cherry and Blueberry look accusingly at Sour]

Sour Grapes:
What?

Sweet Grapes:
[whispers to Lemon] You were right about the dark side.

Lemon Meringue:
[to Sour] What did you do to her?

Sour Grapes:
Just gave her a cooking lesson. And she is a natural.

Blueberry Muffin:
There was nothing natural about that. Nothing naturally... Apple.

Sweet Grapes:
[points at Sour] She's acting like... like you! Ho no! She's a... Sour Apple!

Strawberry Shortcake:
Berry Bitty Cookery Company, desserts straight to your door, Strawberry speaking.

[repeated line]

Apple Dumplin:
I call'em like I taste'em!

[opening scene:
Strawberry, Cherry, Berrykin Bill and a Berrykin worker walk on the beach near their new resort, checking that everything is ready]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Beach chairs?

Berrykin Bill:
[looks at his clipboard] Check.

Cherry Jam:
Barbecue?

Berrykin Bill:
Check.

Strawberry Shortcake:
Oh, volleyball net!

[they stop. Berrykin Bill looks at the clipboard and sees the net is missing]

Berrykin Bill:
Oh, better get on that one!

[Berrykin Bill gestures to the Berrykin worker, and he nods and rushes cheerfully to get the net]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Thank you, Berrykin Bill. Everyone has done such a great job helping us open the resort on time.

[Strawberry chuckles]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Well, it's sure you and the Berrykins get a vacation here, too.

Cherry Jam:
How about... guests?

Strawberry Shortcake:
Hmm... good point. I wonder what's keeping the girls.

Cherry Jam:
[giggles] Never heard of anyone being late for their own vacation.

Mavis Maraschino:
Bertram! Do we shrink from a challenge?

Berrykin Bertram:
[sighs unenthusiastically] We rise to it...

[first scene:
Strawberry is in Orange Mart, preparing a letter for a delivery. Pupcake is outside, sitting in the back seat of Strawberry's scooter]

Orange Blossom:
Wow! This letter is going all the way to Berry Big City? Must be pretty important!

[Strawberry finishes writing the address on the envelope]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Very important. It's a birthday card to a friend of mine.

[Strawberry gives Orange the letter]

[first scene:
Strawberry prepares the tables in her caf?, humming a tune. Pupcake and Custard run about, often bumping into Strawberry and nearly trip her over. After Strawberry finishes preparing the tables, she looks at the clock]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Wow, still not the time befor the caf? opens! Hmmm... guess it's a good morning to clean up the fridge.

[Strawberry opens the fridge, finding it is clean]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Oh, that's right. I cleaned it yesterday.

[Strawberry chuckles]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Hmmm... clean the oven?

[Strawberry opens the oven, and finds it is clean too]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Oh, I forgot. I cleaned it the day before. Looks like I'm all out of things to do. Hey, Pupcake, think we should go strawberry shopping?

[Pupcake stands on his rear paws and barks excitedly, waggling his tail and ears]

Strawberry Shortcake:
[giggles] I'll take that as a "yes".

[Pupcake and Custard run outside. Strawberry takes off her apron and exits the caf?. She puts Custard in the back seat of her scooter. Pupcake sees a butterfly and runs after it]

Strawberry Shortcake:
[giggles] Pupcake, hey, come back!

[Strawberry starts the scooter and drives after Pupcake]

Strawberry Shortcake:
[amused] Pupcake, come back here!

[Strawberry passes by her friends, greeting them good morning]

Orange Blossom:
Thank you for shopping at Orange's general store, where there is a place for everything and a thing for every place!

Apple Dumplin:
A race is only fun if it's fair!

Blueberry Muffin:
The Littlest Berrykin proved that it doesn't matter how little you are, you can still do berry big things.

[Blueberry receives a letter from Berry Bitty Mysteries magazine about the story she sent them. She reads it aloud:
]

Blueberry Muffin:
We regret to inform you that your mystery story is...

Blueberry Muffin, Strawberry Shortcake:
...not what Berry Bitty Mysteries magazine is looking for at this time.

[Blueberry sighs sadly. Strawberry puts her hand on Blueberry's shoulder consolingly]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Oh, Blueberry, I am so... so sorry.

[Lemon interrogates two butterflies and a bumblebee about her missing violets]

Lemon Meringue:
Where were you on the night when this terrible tragedy occurred?

Butterfly:
Asleep.

Bumblebee:
Me too.

Lemon Meringue:
Oh... asleep, huh? That seems mighty suspicious!

[Strawberry approaches Lemon]

Strawberry Shortcake:
[whispers to Lemon] Ah... Lemon? They always sleep at night.

Lemon Meringue:
Oh. Ah... I'm sorry.

[Berrykin Bloom tells jokes]

Berrykin Bloom:
Say, did you hear about one of our baby Berrykins who ate his homework?

[the crowd gasps]

Berrykin Bloom:
His teacher told him it was a piece of cake!

[Plum beats the drums. The crowd laughs]

Berrykin Bloom:
You know how Strawberry Shortcake keeps Pupcake from barking in the back seat of Cherry Jam's tour bus? She moves him to the front seat!

[Plum beats the drums. The crowd laughs]

Berrykin Bloom:
Why did the piece of toast go to the doctor? Because it was feeling really crummy!

[Plum beats the drums. The crowd laughs]

[first scene:
the Berrykins are working at the orchards, using their magic to make fruit in various colors. Berrykin Bloom is working in the garden. Strawberry rides her scooter, stopping by to greet Berrykin Bloom]

Strawberry Shortcake:
Good morning, Berrykin Bloom.

Berrykin Bloom:
Good morning, Strawberry Shrotcake.

Strawberry Shortcake:
What are you up to today?

Berrykin Bloom:
I'm creating ways to make flowers in different sizes, both very big...

[Berrykin Bloom points at the flowers on his left, which are very big]

Berrykin Bloom:
...and very small.

[Berrykin Bloom uses the water sprayer on the flowers on his right, which are small]

Berrykin Bloom:
Even if you don't have a whole lot of room, you can still have plenty of flowers in bloom!

Strawberry Shortcake:
[chuckles] That's a very clever idea!

Raspberry Torte:
The Princess needs me to help run the Berryworks. And besides, I'm much too small to reach any of the flowers.

Strawberry Shortcake:
That's not so! Even though we're bitty...

Plum Pudding, Orange Blossom, Blueberry Muffin, Lemon Meringue:
...we can do big things!

[first scene:
Plum is walking, carrying a box of her diving gear. Postmaster Bumblebee flies nearby]

Plum Pudding:
Good morning, Postmaster.

Postmaster Bumblebee:
[chuckles] You're getting ready for your vacation, I see.

[a strong gust of wind make Plum stop, and pushes Postmaster Bumblebee backwards]

Postmaster Bumblebee:
Feel the chill in that breeze!

Plum Pudding:
[sighs] Yeah... not much summer left. We're trying to get going before it's over. Ah! Oh, I nearly forgot: do you have anything for me today?

[Postmaster Bumblebee opens the mail bag, and takes out a purple package]

Postmaster Bumblebee:
Well... well, well, well, hmm... what have we here?

[Postmaster Bumblebee shakes the package. It makes a rattling sound]

Postmaster Bumblebee:
Hmm, now, let's see... they're six dozens dry kidney beans, or...?

[Postmaster Bumblebee hands Plum the package. She puts the box down and takes the package]

Plum Pudding:
The maracas I ordered last week!

[Plum opens the package and takes out the maracas. She shakes them excitedly]

Plum Pudding:
Thank you, Postmaster! These are for our trip. When we get to Berry Breezy Bay resort, they're gonna know we arrived!

[Blueberry imitates her favorite book character, the detective Patty Persimmon]

Blueberry Muffin:
Ahem... ahem... ahem... well, my keen powers of deduction tell me that you're... going on a nature hike!

Plum Pudding:
[sarcastically] How'd you guess?

Blueberry Muffin:
It was no guess. I asked myself: why would these girls have butterfly nets and binoculars?

[repeated line]

Blueberry Muffin:
[exclaims] AHA!

Blueberry Muffin:
As Patty Persimmon would say: time to get a clue or two!
