But it might be best to take him back to the stream, huh?
Orange Blossom
What? I can't do that. I promised to take care of him.
But that's when you thought he was a fish. It's just that, well, isn't a frog more than you bargained for?
Orange Blossom
I am not going to turn my back on him just because he switched species. He, Tad, can't help it if he's a frog.
Orange Blossom
Strawberry!
Orange, What's the matter?
Orange Blossom
It's Tad! He's He's gone! [sobbing]
[gasps] Now don't worry! everyone's out looking, I'm sure the berrykins will find him any minute now. He couldn't have gone very far!
Orange Blossom
I did everything I could for him, I kept him cool when he was hot, warm when he was cold raised him, sheltered him, no frog has ever been so loved and now he ran away!
Orange, everyone knows you to be so kind and considerate, but I think maybe you've been trying to be so kind and considerate to Tad that you've forgotten about everyone else.
Orange Blossom
But you guys are my friends. My very best friends. I could never forget you.
What I mean is, Tad has caused a bit of trouble, and—
Orange Blossom
But he doesn't know any better.
Exactly. I think being responsible for a pet means taking responsibility for any trouble he causes, because the pet really doesn't know any better.
Hi all! Tea? Muffins? I know: smoothies!
Orange Blossom
You said we'd be meeting in private.
No, I didn't. I'm sorry girls, but I just don't feel comfortable taking secret meetings. I have a feeling this is something that we need to get out in the open. I mean, none of you would like the idea of something being done behind your back, would you?
We didn't mean to, Strawberry!
It's okay, it's okay. I know you wanted to help Raspberry, which is very sweet. I just think being secret fashion elves might not be the best way.
Orange Blossom
Well, at least it wasn't another flower heist.
Next year, let's have ceramics festival instead.
Guys, I'm telling you, it's like something was under the ground. Things were going up and going down and sideways and forwards and shaking, it was like the end of the world!
Not the end of the world.
Close to the end of the world?
The day before the end of the world? When it's getting into the part where all life as we know it ceases to—
I know, and I appreciate what you're trying to do. Please, girls, I'm gonna miss the bus.
Orange Blossom
Good!
Please stop her, Strawberry!
Orange Blossom
Don't let her leave!
Oh, Strawberry, I just feel there's no need for me to stay in Berry Bitty City. Not unless I can do something useful. Something that everyone needs.
I'll tell you what we need. Someone to take care of the complaints about this machine.
Oh, where do I begin? One, the machine is lousy at conversation and boy is it useless at giving advice. Two, it doesn't tell you how nice you look or offer any fashion hints. Three, it won't laugh at any of our jokes. Four, it doesn't fit in a sleeping bag for sleepovers, and it won't even respond when you send it an invitation! How rude. Five, it doesn't have a shoulder to cry on. And six, and this is by far the worst, it never hugs. We love you for who you are as a person and friend, Lemon, and that machine can never be any of those things.
The first challenge! The Berryfest princess judges the flower contest at the festival. Let's see who knows their flowers. You may proceed.
Ah that's easy. A rose by any other name would still smell as rosy.
KKadiebug
Oh, thory. I think I have a double begonia.
Don't you mean double pneumonia, Kadiebug?
No, no, no. Kadiebug was right the first time. It is a begonia.
Orange Blossom
The flower is a daisy. [sniffs] And you had... [sniffs] three slices of cantaloupe at lunch.
you are right! On both counts...
What do you call a flower that grows in between your nose and your chin? Tulips! Get it? Two lips.
Good answer, and a lackluster joke.
Lackluster? What does that mean?
[scoffs] I thought it was a fabulous joke. Well, everyone has different tastes, I guess.
Oh, I'm sorry, you ate your flower and you are disqualified.
SSadiebug
I couldn't help it. I was hungry.
I think she ate a honeysuckle.
That is a zinnia, a genus of 20 species of annual and perennial plants of family Asteraceae.
Hmm, I suppose you are correct. It's a zinnia, at least.
Oh boy, I just don't know.
Oh, terribly sorry. It was a daffodil.
Oh shucks, no wonder I missed it. Daffodils aren't in fashion this season.
[starts feeling terrible about how rude she was as she sniffles] No wonder she took off. If I was her, I'd quit too.
Orange Blossom
[voice breaking] I was so selfish. She kept asking us to help each other, and instead we were just... rude to each other.
[voice breaking] I was mean.
[crying] And she only asked us to do... one little thing.
[crying] And I messed it up with my rhinestones.
[crying and sniffling] No, no... It was all me with my silly glitter trying to have the best wing. Why didn't we just help each other out like she asked? [she hugs her best friend]
[The other girls feel terrible about how rude they were as well and Plum Pudding starts crying]
Orange Blossom
Here, please take my hankie.
[She takes it and blows her nose] Thank you.
We're all to blame. And after Strawberry worked so hard...
[crying] What a great leader...
[sniffling] Never complained.
Orange Blossom
Always polite.
Heart and gold. And she cared so much about us having fun.
[through tears] And now, she left us!
[The girls cry and hug as they forgive each other for how they acted earlier until when Strawberry calls them]
Can someone help me down?
[still crying] I can still hear her pleading voice in my memory. [sobs]
[stops crying] Wait! That voice is real.
[All the girls stops crying]
Orange Blossom
On the count of three. One, two...
On three, or after you say three?
You know, I was wondering the same thing.
Me too! I'd hate for you to run out on three and I was left waiting here for you to say three.
Maybe we could go out on four. Four is a good number.
Orange Blossom
Okay. Four!
Careful, Pupcake! More apple cider, anyone?
Ooh yes, please, Strawberry. What's your secret? It's so good!
Easy, Plum. You just warm up some apple cider with a little orange rind...
Orange Blossom
Mmm, orange. My favorite!
A tiny smidgen of lemon juice...
A bit of cinnamon, and my secret ingredient.
Warm wishes! I imagine my friends enjoying it and somehow it just comes out better.
That was the best ball ever!
I can't remember a better one.
I think I enjoyed helping out the chipmunks a lot more than just throwing our usual Glimmerberry Ball.
Me too! It made it much more special.
It's like Strawberry's secret cider ingredient.
Yes, the party was special because I kept imagining how much the chipmunks are going to enjoy their nice home and all the snacks for their hibernation.
Orange Blossom
So, do you think they enjoyed the party?
[The chipmunks are snoring and cooing]
I think that says it all.
Sweet dreams. See you in the spring.
