A Country Pumpkin (Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures)

A Country Pumpkin is the the first episode of Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures Season 5, and 65th overall. Compared to their younger depictions, Strawberry and her friends gained a more mature appearance as 16-year-olds since the series takes place 4 years after the events of the Season 4 finale, with Apple Dumplin, Strawberry's cousin, having gotten a bit taller, more graceful, patient, self-conscious, and wiser than her younger years. It also features newer characters, including those whose names are based on the beverages we drink with two of them being seasonal drinks for fall and winter, and all except one are males. Others, however, have foods named after them as well. This also marks the return of Huckleberry Pie.

Synopsis
When a new girl moved into Berry Bitty City, Strawberry Shortcake and her friends welcome her with open arms as her new neighbor. But that's not the only surprise; one of her best friends is in for the shock of her life as two familiar faces arrive for a berry grand opening to present a special guest and her friend.

Plot
A red ribbon is cut in half...because a bonsai tree house is built in Berry Bitty City. But not just any bonsai tree house; it's a records studio called Cherry Jamz Records, owned by none other than the famous singer herself, Cherry Jam! It has been four years since the grand opening of the Berry Bitty Market and Cherry Jam arriving in Berry Bitty City for the entertainment. And after that, a brief visit by Huckleberry Pie and his dog, Tom Tom. And then after that, the arrival of the Grape Twins, Sweet and Sour, and Apple Dumplin, Strawberry's cousin. Now, here they are; sixteen (except Apple who's just fourteen) and still growing as today is a special occasion for Cherry Jam. This grand opening also marks the anniversary for the making of her music video with her song, "Anything Is Possible". Sweet and Sour Grapes were already given a café of their own, Sweet & Sour Bakery, on their 16th birthday to store their food truck. And by the generous donations from Berry Big City through Huckleberry, the Berry Bitty Café is given an upgrade, with an extra bedroom that also serves as a computer program and repair workshop for Apple since her staying in Berry Bitty City. But little do the Berry Bitty Girls know, there's a berry special surprise for them just around the corner.

The next morning after the grand opening, Strawberry is asked to provide refreshments at Cherry Jamz Radio as a caterer while the Grapes Twins take over at her café when she hears singing on her way to work. That can't be Cherry. She hasn't written a song after the whole fiasco with Mavis Maraschino about not wanting to write another song ever again. Still, it sounded so velvety, gentle, sweet, and not to mention so strong that even a country person could keep with the beat. Who is this mysterious ultimate singer? Strawberry looks around for the source until she saw where--or whom--it was coming from. A girl with orange hair, dressed in country-style clothing, hence the cowgirl boots, with a pumpkin as her hat, on her outfit and boots, and smelled of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, was skipping while humming a tune into the small town and stopping at an area that looks like the perfect spot to...plant a seed? Soon, Strawberry was joined with Orange, Blueberry, Lemon, Raspberry, Cherry, the Grapes Twins, and Apple as they all watch what was going on. The girl drops the seed and covers it with soil, allowing a Berrykin, whom Strawberry did not notice was with her this whole time, to conjure sparkles into the soil, focusing on the seed. In an instant, something happened. A lone vine sprouts from the ground before splitting into five more, and from them, a group of five pumpkins have grown, with the biggest one behind the other four being the main part for a certain purpose. Then, that purpose makes itself known when a window has magically formed slightly below the top with a room inside, which makes it a penthouse of sorts. Next, another window has formed on the two pumpkins in front of the big one, creating a different kind of room with a refreshments barstand on the right side, a salon lounge on the left side, and an entire bistro section with a pumpkin-shaped stage fit for more than one musician between the barstand and a kitchen in the back, making it a restaurant--no, a bar. A medley bar, to be exact. Which leaves the final two pumpkins on each side to turn into private booths fit for four people. And for the few final touches; a terrace to decorate the entrance, making the bar enticing for all walks of life, and the vines detached themselves and turn into fences around the perimeter, leaving an open section for the entrance. When the construction is done, the girl whistles the other Berrykins over...with a movers truck. This could only mean one thing; Strawberry has a new neighbor! The other Berry Bitty Girls have never seen anyone like her before. With a berry big business like that, she could be born into the city life, but she dresses like a true country bumpkin. When Cherry Jam first came to Berry Bitty City, she was dressed like a regular person upon meeting Strawberry for the grand opening of the Berry Bitty Market. After Orange, Raspberry, Lemon, and Blueberry had gotten to know the real Cherry Jam, the former pop star has decided to stay in Berry Bitty City and start her new life as a composer, music writer, music instructor, and for the first time, a music producer for every gifted musician who will want to sing with Cherry, as long as its not for popularity or fortune. Now, it seems like the same could be said about this bitty bumpkin; that is, if she's a real bumpkin.

Seeing that she's Strawberry's new neighbor, the girls decided to give her gifts to make her feel welcome in Berry Bitty City. Strawberry is baking her first pumpkin spice soufflé the way she's baked her strawberry soufflés since the Berry Bitty World Record for Berrykin Bloom; Blueberry has already ordered a collection of Patty Persimmon books and a poster for the neighbor to decorate her room with (if she's the only neighbor); Orange is procuring an assortment of spices, fruits, natural sweetners, and every other ingredient for her to make healthy lattés, frappés, and even milkshakes; Lemon has worked tiredlessy to style her hair in a Southern-belle manner, while at the same time mixing a bottle of pumpkin spice perfume to give the bar an essential fragrance; Raspberry, given the neighbor's sense of style, decides to dress up as bumpkin herself in her honor; Plum has looked through her whole collection of CDs to see if she has any country-style music, including mixed genres, and she's found plenty for the neighbor to dance to; Cherry has managed to find a banjo for the neighbor to play her music, and lucky for her it's pumpkin-themed; Sweet and Sour Grapes, with the help of Berrykin Bloom, began making their first pumpkin spice cider (sparkling, of course) and pumpkin flavored ginger ale should this bumpkin plans on having a party at her place; and finally, Apple Dumplin uploaded a few country-style tutorial videos into her Groove Booties so she can practice all the moves herself in case the neighbor asks to dance with her.

The girls bring their gifts to the new girl's house and Strawberry knocks on the door. The bumpkin answers, and the Berry Bitty Girls shouted suprise, welcoming her to Berry Bitty City and offering her treats, music, special ingredients for her beverages, and souvenirs for memories. The bumpkin thanks graciously for the gifts and introduces herself as Pumpkin Spice Latté, and before anyone can introduce themselves, she's already figured out their names and talent for everything they do to a T, much to the girls' surprise. Plus, she's recognized the five girls from when they were touring with Cherry Jam in Berry Big City. And when she mentioned the Grapes Twins' names from when they were making deliveries in their food truck, she thought their treats are absolutely superb. Also, she's read numerous stories about Apple Dumplin's adventures on the Berry Bitty Web, and was so inspired by it all that she wanted to express her culture to the Berry Bitty World. So, this proves that Pumpkin Spice did grow up in the city life, but she confesses to being a country bumpkin at heart. Now, one would think that with a name like pumpkin spice latté, it'd be a seasonal edition for the Fall. But not this one; she's all about any kind of holiday for any season, and she sure can dance to any kind of music with country flair. And at her medley bar called Pumpkin Spice Cafélonistro, so many people are going to feel welcomed when they come from miles around just to get a taste of the treats and drinks. And the girls are all invited for Pumpkin's corral, as it will be the perfect event for the grand opening, which the girls graciously accept. But that's not the only surprise in store. Pumpkin Spice reveals to Blueberry that a special surprise package is waiting at her doorstep and that the other girls are in for one as well. In fact, Pumpkin already got her special surprise when a guy's voice calls out from outside the bar, but it doesn't sound like Huckleberry's voice. She, however, knew who it was and turns around to see the one person she had wanted the girls to meet. Standing at the doorway is a boy with coffee hair, burnt sienna eyes, and a stocky built slim body frame. It's her best friend and childhood sweetheart, Gingamon Cider. Feeling excited about the news and congratulating them for being in a relationship, the girls help Pumpkin get situated as she directs them to where the food and drinks can go, and debated where to put the decorations.

By then, it was time to call it a night, so Strawberry and the girls bade the couple goodnight and pick up where they left off in the morning. While they were gone, Pumpkin and Gingamon ran to the Berrykin's truck, carried one of the crates labeled "fragile" inside the bar, opening it, and peeked in saying to someone that the coast is clear. Who were they talking to? And why hide it from the girls? If they only knew...

As the other girls turn in for the night, Blueberry sees her Bookstore's lights are on, making her curious but also concerned what is going on. Is someone breaking in? She had to find out. But no sooner had she open the door, Blueberry saw what--or who--her "special surprise package" was; Huckleberry Pie! Squealing with joy, Blueberry just ran into his arms and hugged him, saying how much she's missed him for so long. Huckleberry could only smile and hug back as a way of saying he's missed her, too. But when he pulled back, that smile is replaced with a frown, concerning and confusing Blueberry. What could be wrong? That question is answered when Huck confessed that he should have been honest with Blueberry on the phone when he visited Berry Bitty City. Things were not good in Berry Big City; they were much worse. Blueberry listened as he told his story all through the night...

The next morning, as Pumpkin Spice and Gingamon Cider directed the Berrykins where to place the furniture, Strawberry is baking pumpkin spice muffins and pumpkin spice waffles in the toaster for the early morning so she and the girls can get energized to help out with the Cafélonistro's grand opening when her toaster times out earlier than expected, causing the waffles to pop out in the air that Strawberry didn't react in time to grab a plate and catch them. But in an instant, someone grabbed the plate and caught the waffles just in time before they could hit the floor. A British-accented voice caught Strawberry's attention and she looks up to see a boy with opal white hair and those piercing silver eyes that could melt any girl's heart. But what really stood out are the dimples. How can anyone not be so cute without those dazzling features? The boy introduced himself as Pineberry Smoothie and offered treats of his own to Strawberry as a sign of his entry for applying to work in the Berry Bitty Café and getting to know Strawberry while he's at it. Hearing the way he spoke almost made Strawberry weak at the knees that she was able to compose herself in an instant and answered his questions without a single stutter, but an occasional giggle is fine for Pineberry.

At Orange Mart, Orange is surveying the shelves to decorate Pumpkin's bar for the corral. As it turns out, she doesn't have any kind of proper necessities to decorate the bar with. She's already checked the Berry Bitty Market, and her own booth doesn't have what she needed, either. What decorations does one use for a corral? Fortunately, Pumpkin gave Orange a business card yesterday when she was helping set up the ingredients at her business. She called the number, and in no time flat, they answered. It was a number for Frappé Landscape & Horticulture from Berry Big City, and the person talking to Orange is Cappuccino Frappé, the owner. While she's talking, a door opens, meaning that somebody is entering her store. She's even started giggling when Cappuccino commented about hearing the name from when she and the girls toured in Berry Big City with Cherry Jam, and complimented on her dancing with the tambourine on-stage being so adorable. While the person walks up to Orange quietly, Cappuccino asked if she was expecting any visitors at some point, only for her to respond no, and Orange realizes that he sounded much closer this time. Then, when Cappuccino tells her to turn around, she obliged and was nearly knocked off her feet when she sees the person she didn't hear come into her store. In front of her is a boy with sienna hair in dreadlocks, chestnut eyes, and a well-toned body frame. It's Cappuccino Frappé himself! When Pumpkin Spice told Orange that Cappuccino has a very likable personality, she wasn't kidding. In fact, he's real a guardian angel for anybody in the Berry Bitty World! And he's more than happy to help Orange with the decorations for Pumpkin Spice's corral at her bar. For Orange, it's a win-win because she'll get to know more about Cappuccino from her own perspective like Pumpkin has.

Meanwhile, at Fresh Fashions Boutique, Raspberry is struggling to come up with designs for the corral that fits the style of the theme. But after last night of greeting Pumpkin Spice and Gingamon, she's already developed artist's block and can't figure out what design fits the theme, and she's made so many that fits her friends' styles to a T, it's taken a toll on her. Plus, her fabrics are all over the place, which makes it much worse. Maybe some fresh air will do her good, and that might help get her creative windows to open again. But when she walked out of her boutique, she noticed something at the corner of her eye. Sitting on the grass is a boy with long tea green hair styled in a braid and top knot wearing a hair adornment in a meditative position with his eyes closed. Curious, Raspberry walks up to him without making a sound, but to her surprise, the boy sensed movement as he held his hand in the air, like he's telling her not to move. How does he know without looking is a question she will never understand. The boy states that he's "almost done". He also adds the magic is in the planning, and he never draws a single line until he is sure. And in an instant, he opens his light green eyes with a smile on his face, drew what he meditated at rapid speed in a sketchbook of his own, and finally showed his work to Raspberry. It's a picture of herself dressed in the same style of clothing as his, but with a different attribute that's suitable for females. It's incredible! He just visualizes the design in his mind, and drew it in a millisecond without missing a step! He's such a talented fashion designer! She was able to snap herself when the boy asked if his work was to his liking, and she admitted that she loved it. Taking it as a compliment, the boy introduces himself as Matcha Latté, a quadruplet sibling of Pumpkin Spice, and asked if he could work with Raspberry, seeing that's she's a talented fashion designer herself. Raspberry accepted the help with no questions asked and shook his hand eagerly...until the moment is interrupted with grumble from her stomach. No wonder she's struggling to come up with designs. She was supposed to be sketching early before going to the Café, but her hunger came earlier than expected. But as the old saying goes, "chivalry is not dead" as Matcha held out his arm for Raspberry so he can escort her for breakfast, and then they can get know each other and give each other fashion tips.

But Raspberry isn't the only fashion expert having problems in her own business. At her salon, Lemon struggled to assist the customers because her arms are sore from styling her hair when she and the girls greeted Pumpkin Spice and helping set up the bar for the corral. But the extra work put into it made her arms hurt more, and no matter how many times she tries to rest in a comfortable position, even her body ached from arranging the furniture in Pumpkin's bedroom above the bar. Fortunately for her, the salon is now vacant so she can relax a little more. Then, opportunity knocks. Literally, someone knocks on Lemon's salon door, but Lemon is too exhausted to open it for them, so all she can do is say "it's open". Somebody walks in, but Lemon can't see who it was with her head down, and is still too sore to say anything else. With a look of understanding and empathy in his lawn green eyes, the person puts down a silver briefcase he was carrying with a lime wedge logo, presses a button, and it turns into a spa massage bed. The person gently picks up Lemon bridal-style and places her on the bed. Lemon then feels something pressing on her back. Confused, she opens her eyes and turns her head to see a boy with a sock beanie cap resembling a lime wedge massaging her back. The looks back at her and smiles, apologetically hoping she did not mind this kind of treatment and an aroma therapy to ease the stress. Lemon accepted it and encourages him to continue what he's doing, but not before asking for his name. Feeling grateful, the boy asks her to hire him to work in her salon and she's got herself a deal, introducing himself as Key Lime Chiffon.

At Sweet Beats Studio, Plum is practicing her square dance to perform at the corral, but even with the music playing, she feels "off-beat", so to speak, without rhythm. She was told by Cherry Jam yesterday that Pumpkin Spice Latté was a natural-born country dancer and did the square dance like a pro when she performed in Berry Big City. But after spending a whole day helping Pumpkin Spice get situated in Berry Bitty City, Plum has suddenly lost her own "inner music", so it looks like she can't perform at Pumpkin's corral. But then, she hears a funky beat outside her studio. It's actually coming from the marketplace. When Plum got there via scooter, she is absolutely floored by what she sees. On the stage, some sort of dance performance with a group of Berrykins watching a boy with a hood over his head and a slate blue mask covering his lower face breakdancing to the music, and the stage is propped with a large blank white canvas. But Plum doesn't remember hearing from either Strawberry or Princess Berryin announcing a rehearsal in Berry Bitty City. Who is this guy? She's never seen this sort of dancing before, except maybe from the Berry Big City dancers, but something tells Plum that doesn't seem like the case. Curious, she walks up to get a closer look. And then, the hooded breakdancer did something unexpected. He takes out...water balloons? Except these aren't filled with water. The liquid's too thick unless...they're filled with paint. With a spin, the boy throws one of the water balloons and it exploded into gold paint. But it didn't splatter all over the place; the white canvas is also drawn with a special marker that either keeps the paint in place or for it to trace along the outline. Even so, the boy's got good aim, but he's not done yet. He throws another water balloon, but this one is filled red paint, and it covers outside of the outline for a background. So, all that's left is to fill the area where the gold outline traced around. He's down to his final water balloon, and it's bigger than the other two he's thrown. Plum just stands there with anticipation, waiting to see how this ends. He backflips, then frontflips, and incredibly, he pulled a Triple Arabian flip, throwing his last water balloon with his feet! The water balloon hits the empty spot head-on, and the purple paint (boysenberry, to be exact) splatters out perfectly on where the gold outlines the area, creating what the picture is revealed to be; a boysenberry fruit. Words fail to describe this performance, but an applause breaks out and Plum is cheering with enthrallment, it's caught the attention of the Berrykins that they all joined and thought that was the most astounding performance they've ever witnessed. Taking it as a compliment, the boy bowed and lowers his mask and hood to reveal his tekhelet eyes and very short medium dark brown hair with an undercut, eminence streaks and a cinnamon roll-like spiral on the sides of his head. Plum is shocked to the core because she recognized the boy as Boysenberry Roll, Berry Big City's street performer and graffiti artist of Boyz N' Berry Graffiti Studios! The boy in question just chuckled at her enthusiasm and for the recognition of his reputation that he returns the gesture with a shake of the hand and presenting a Gooseberry pie, her favorite. Plum couldn't help it; she just jumped up and hugged him, saying that she loved to have him perform at Pumpkin's corral with her, only to realize she was still hugging him and lets go, apologizing for her outburst. But Boysenberry, given his share of love for dancing, forgave her by saying that it would be an honor to work with a dance instructor like her. After all, they both have ways of finding their inner music wherever they are in the Berry Bitty World.

Elsewhere, Cherry is taking a stroll in the berry patch on her way back to her recording studio when she hears a guitar playing...and someone singing? That can't be Huck, though. He couldn't sing a proper note, he can't get a handle on...anything that's new to him since he's stayed in Berry Bitty City to have his pup-mobile fixed up, his acting is horrible, he can't dance, and he freezes at the mention of being on stage in front of so many people. Plus, he was a klutz with the construction equipment until he found Cherry's lucky charm that, because of it, he was made an honorary member of the Society of Extraordinary Engineers. But this other guy--whoever he is--has such a smooth voice unlike any Cherry's ever heard of in Berry Big City. When she got back, the base of the tree house is empty, so where is the singing coming from? Then when she peeked to the side of her tour bus, she can see who was singing by the doorway. It's a boy with very short onyx black hair and a jasmine headband tied around his head, playing a song with his electric sitar. And he smelled like cardamom, lemongrass cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves...almost like Pumpkin Spice Latté. Could this boy be related to her in some way? While the boy is singing, Cherry felt as if the lyrics are dedicated to the most beautiful person in his life, no matter what she looks like. Is he singing...about her? As he sang, he caught a small whiff of cherry blossoms in the air and when he opened his saffron eyes, he glances to his right and sees Cherry watching him play, smiling. He smiles back and continues his song until he's finished, and he looks back at Cherry, who apologized for unintentionally distracting him from his singing. But he politely tells her not worry, for he does not mind an audience, especially if it's one special person. The boy introduces himself as Masala Chai Latté, another quadruplet sibling of Pumpkin Spice, confirming Cherry's theory to be sound. He confesses that he doesn't just sing for the fame, but also to send a message to the people in the Berry Bitty World who are waiting for answers to come to them. And when not in public, he sometimes sing about what his heart is saying to him. That's what led him to sing about Cherry Jam since her performance with the Berry Bitty Girls in Berry Big City. Cherry had no idea how strong Masala Chai's feelings for her were. Normally, most other people would hang out with Cherry just for the popularity, but Masala Chai is different. In a way, he's exactly like Cherry. Both lived a pampered life in the big city, but at the same time, they go to the countryside to relax and give up the life of fame and fortune. Feeling that she could connect with him on another level, Cherry offers to escort Masala Chai to Berry Bitty Café, which he accepts.

At Sweet & Sour Bakery, the Grapes Twins are preparing special concoctions for the corral, but with an interesting twist. For the first time, Sweet Grapes mixed up a certain batch of sauces for Sour Grapes to taste-test. The gothic chef takes a sample with a celery stick and tastes it, her eyes wide as, well, grapes. This is the most well-seasoned sauce she's ever tasted! She asked her sister what is this aromatic yet smoked flavor, and Sweet responded it's a recipe she's read about famous for this particular sauce in Pumpkin Spice's old hometown called honey BBQ, though not as spicy hot as Berrykin Bloom's chili sauce, but it does have some zang to it. Sour, with little to no reluctance, wholeheartedly agrees with her sister and offers another kind of sauce of her own for Sweet to try. This one is different from the one she's tried; not just in flavor, but also in color--yellow, like mustard yellow. Like Sour, Sweet takes a sample with a carrot this time and tastes it, her eyes closed contently for savoring the flavor. This is the sweetest, most seasonal flavor she's ever tasted. Sour confided in her sister she would like it and reveals to her the sauce she's tasted is one of Pumpkin Spice's favorites, the honey mustard. Turns out, the Grapes Twins have swapped out their roles on what assortments to make, be it sweet or seasonal spices. And it worked out for both of them because now they have some special condiments to serve in the corral Strawberry as caterers. But then, a few voices caught their attention from outside the kitchen and they see two boys entering their café. Apparently, they were "discussing" about the styles of attire and culture. One of them is dressed in Irish-styled clothing, having Shamrock green hair streaked with spring green highlights and emerald green eyes, yet he speaks with a Scottish accent and dialect, and has on Scottish-style accessories like the tartan tam and sash; the other is more of a preppy bad boy with hazel eyes and bronze hair with long bangs swept to the side. The latter, however, sparked a memory in the Grapes Twins' minds. They both knew the boy from when they were doing food deliveries on the road before meeting Strawberry and the other girls. But he didn't seem to be pay any notice because he was busy looking at his clipboard and writing something down on paper, possibly evaluating people's jobs and their tasks. When he walked to the Twins' food truck, Sweet and Sour offered him treats (the same way they did Raspberry and Lemon) and he takes one of each without looking. Taking a bite, he grades their culinary skills and just as he was about to ask for another, his eyes locked on Sour's and everything stops for them. But it was short-lived when Sweet prepped the treats for to go. The boy didn't really want to, but he has to so that he can keep grading everyone else's jobs and tasks...before waving a sad good-bye to Sour. She waved back, but felt more disappointed that she didn't get his name. In the present, Sour still has that disappointed look on her face and Sweet was the only person who noticed it since that day. She didn't like seeing her sister so upset, so Sweet owed her a favor after the birthday present Sour gave her. When the boys sat down on one of the tables, Sweet and Sour greeted them just like they did with Strawberry--without fighting about who's food tastes better this time--before presenting the food to start it off, giving Sour a chance to get the boy's name. But in no less than a second hearing her voice and looking up at her, he instantly recognized Sour since they were kids. Standing up to shake her hands, he finally got the chance to introduce himself as Breadfruit Pudding. Wait, "Pudding"?! That's the same name as Plum's! Breadfruit chuckled at the Twins' reactions, he confirmed that he is indeed Plum's older brother, and explains the reason he's dressed in purple like his sister is so that he honors her, no matter how far away they are in the Berry Bitty World. But the surprise doesn't stop there; the green-clad boy next to Breadfruit introduces himself as Shamrock Shaek, the final quadruplet sibling of Pumpkin Spice Latté. Pumpkin Spice, too?! The Twins were told she has four brothers, but his last name doesn't even match like his other siblings'! Shamrock agrees with that logic, but admits to being related to Pumpkin Spice, Matcha, and Masala Chai; they just come from different sides of the family. Though, he can't deny his style of attire being a form of a mixed heritage, but the real symbol of his culture is the tartan pattern on the tam and sash, which represents a clan from his family's side. The four-leaf clover is the depiction of his first name, and like his quadruplet sister, he's all about any kind of holiday for any kind of season, not just for Spring. Plus, the way he talks, especially when he was walking in with Breadfruit, no one really understood what he just said. But Sweet did, and she thought the way he's dressed and how he talks is pretty cute, making him blush the color of Strawberry's hair. Sour and Breadfruit could not believe their eyes! Is Sweet Grapes being, well, sweet on Shamrock? He managed to compose himself so he can offer small boxes of his own treats; Rosella Berry Trifle and Marmalade Flourless Blondies. Sweet took a bite of the trifle, and her eyes close blissfully as she savors the flavor just like with the honey mustard. Sour can see where this is going and suggests to Breadfruit they leave her sister and Shamrock alone for a bit, and the preppy bad boy agrees. After all, they got a lot to talk about.

In Berry Beautiful Meadow, the creation of a Berry Bitty Web page has taken place as Apple Dumplin sets up a digital newspaper called Blueberry Bruit so that Blueberry Muffin can post a blog from her account and write an article about what goes on in the Berry Bitty World, including her reviews on Pumpkin Spice Cafélonistro. Pupcake, now a full-grown Beagle with his ears drooping downwards, and Custard, now a full-grown cat with her white muzzle more noticeable than when she was a kitten, are keeping her company since Strawberry will be busy at the café making preparations for the Cafélonistro's grand opening when they hear something buzzing, making Apple stop in her tracks. It can't be the postal bees or ladybugs because few are either currently working in the postal office at Orange Mart or making deliveries in other parts of Berry Bitty City, and whatever is making that sound is a bit more mechanical than normal. Plus, it's smaller than the bees and ladybugs…and it's close. Very close. When Pupcake and Custard saw the source of the buzzing, they growled at it as they stand in front of Apple, who followed their gaze and realized what the object is. It's a tiny, strawberry-shaped drone with butterfly wings for flight, powered by Wanderberry magic, fueled by sparkleberry juice, and runs on Glimmerberry energy. Apple recognizes the object as the Strawbre Flyer VX, one of the latest, high-end drones in Berry Big City. But so far, no other stores in Berry Bitty City have drones like this because these very models are super rare, they sell like hot cakes faster than Apple could promote tasty treats Strawberry bakes daily. But how did this drone make it to a small town that's mostly common in a cosmopolitan area? When the drone flew downwards, Pupcake and Custard nearly jumped at it, but see how very tiny it is. In fact, it's so tiny, no one but Apple could spot it from a few feet away. Not to mention the drone easily fits in her hands. It's such a delicate work, that very few people could design one that even fits inside a controller that pilots it. Which brings out the question; how did this particular drone know where to find Apple unless…someone is controlling it? Then, realization struck her like lightning. The Strawbre Flyer VX also has a built-in camera that's sometimes used for surveillance purposes, which means that the person who invented this drone might be nearby. But what really caught her eye is the youngberry symbol above it. Whoever invented the drone sure has mechanical engineering capabilities, just like she does. Suddenly, they hear rustling, and Pupcake caught a scent of youngberries in the air. He barks at Apple and points to the direction where the mystery lurker is hiding. She'd ask for help, but with the girls busy with their projects for the grand opening, Apple will have to rely on her own wits and be smarter this time. Now…what would Strawberry do if she were in this situation? She'd trick him, of course. Silently gesturing Pupcake and Custard to play along, Apple pretends to play with the Strawbre drone before putting it down so that its camera is facing the pets and not her walking in the other direction. She stealthily tiptoed around the area where Pupcake sniffed the intruder. As she got closer, she could see a small patch of brown in the leaves. Slowly and quietly, Apple creeps up on him, reaches out for the leaves and pushes them away, exposing who the intruder really is. It's a boy about her age with dark auburn hair, cordovan eyes, and maroon goggles over his head. In his hand is the very controller for the drone he sent out, having the same logo below a monitor, which is how he's been watching her from afar. So, he's the one who invented the latest drone in Berry Bitty City. After walking back to Apple's quiet spot, the boy took the time to get over the awkward situation they were in and introduces himself as Youngberry Crépe, inventor of the Strawbre Flyer VX and a cousin to Boysenberry Roll. Wait, he's related to the street performer and graffiti artist of Berry Big City?! Just like her to Strawberry Shortcake! And Apple's heard tons of stories about Boysenberry when she was touring in the neighborhoods of Rubosville, his old hometown. One thing's for sure; the guy's got quite a reputation going for him, and it was thanks to his cousin, Youngberry that he's gained an entourage and many supporters of the world for his old neighborhood's liberation from loan sharks who would want to claim it as their own turf for crime syndicates. According to the articles, his face was never visible due to the hood over his head, and there are rumors that Boysenberry may have gone underground (fancy way of saying when someone's hiding in the shadows) because every time the Berry Big City Police arrive, he disappears in the crowd and no one's heard from him since. The last time anyone has seen of him was during the opening ceremony at Berry Bitty City Bitty Games where Strawberry and the Sweet Beats performed that day. But Youngberry has been keeping track of his cousin's whereabouts and offered him residence in Younberry's caravan outside the city so that he doesn't get spotted by the police or anyone against the use of graffiti art. Even so, Apple was just lucky to have met someone famous in person during her adventures in the Berry Bitty World and another with the talents she has. That was just the response Youngberry wanted to hear as confessed that the Strawbre Flyer VX is a gift for Apple and, if possible, as a sign of entry for applying to work with Apple, who confessed that she "feels too young" to hire someone, but is willing to make that exception, only for Strawberry's sake. The last thing she wanted is to keep someone awake with the music blasting in their room or cause a little chaos in the city.

Back at the Café, as the customers (mainly Raspberry and Matcha, Cherry and Masala Chai, and Blueberry and Huckleberry) have their breakfast, Pineberry takes the remaining waffles and pancakes outside where Strawberry is waiting; Redbud and Rose Hip, respectfully. Yes, he's taken note by Huckleberry that Strawberry was allergic to the Hibiscus and the Purple Puffpetals, so maybe these new flowers Pineberry provided will be edible enough to not make her sneeze or her nose stuffy. All her years, no one has ever done like this for Strawberry, or be so considerate of her allergies. And like a proper gentleman, Pineberry pulls a chair for her to sit and pushes it back, and he pulls one for himself. They both look and smell so delicious, Strawberry decided to try the Rose Hip waffle first. Pineberry waited with anticipation until he sees the smile on her face, which means that she loves it, especially when she tasted the persimmon powder. And when she tries the Redbud pancake next, her reaction is the same. Just like with the Grapes Twins, Strawberry commends that he has mad baking skills. Taking it as a compliment, Pineberry took her hand and kissed it, making her blush the color of her hat. After calming down, he told his story about what made him go into the baking business. Before coming into Berry Big City, Pineberry started out as a student at a baking school in Sconewall. When he graduated with flying colors, he participated in an exchange program to apply for a job at a bakery in the big city. He can still remember it; the smells, the aroma, the taste of the treats reaching up to his nose--it was paradise. When the opening ceremony of the Berry Big City Bitty Games began, the staff hired him as a caterer, right before the upcoming performance by Strawberry and the Sweet Beats, especially when the mention of Cherry Jam sparked the excitement. At first, he did not know what to expect; seeing Cherry Jam or watching Strawberry Shortcake playing her guitar on-stage. The latter was pretty obvious; when Pineberry heard her sing, he thought she had a voice of an angel, and the fact that she can bake any pastry in the Berry Bitty World as well just makes his heart flutter. In fact, when he was invited to a royal ball by none other than Queen of Berryvania herself, he was nearly knocked off his feet after tasting the Olallie Rhubarb Surprise and the Very Berry Spice Royale. Isn't there anything Strawberry can't do? It's because of her, Pineberry was inspired to create pastries of his own in her honor and pay his contributions to the Berry Bitty Café. Strawberry couldn't help but gush about it; she had no idea her talents would inspire anyone to do anything berry sweet for someone like her. She then asked him if his own cooking aspired him to open his own café in Berry Big City, only for him to respond a sad no, much to her dismay. She asked if it's because his cooking didn't live up to everyone's expectations, but it was the opposite of that, and a much more different matter. Pineberry was working in a bakery and serving Huckleberry one day when an unexpected guest walked in with beetles bigger than ladybugs and bumblebees combined for bodyguards and holding a grape cane in his hand; all signs that tell Pineberry "Purple Kingpin". He was talking to the ladybug manager of the bakery, demanding his cut of payment or he threatens to tear it all down and convert it into a four-story townhouse. Unable to take this treatment, Pineberry walks up to the crime boss with a check in his hand...which is more than what he asked of his cut. Infuriated with the amount, the Purple Kingpin angrily takes it and walks out of the bakery with the bodyguards in tow, but something tells Pineberry that he'll be back to try and take it down again. The manager thanked Pineberry for his bravery, and as a sign of gratitude, she gives him the keys to her caravan for that he can travel anywhere in the world as he pleases. Pineberry tried to refuse in knowing that the manager will lose her business at some point, but she insisted he takes it and confidently states she will have to move onwards and forwards to start over. This gives Huckleberry an idea into handing over his Pup-mobile to the manager, and she is free to modify it in any she wants. It's just the motivation he needs to see Blueberry again in Berry Bitty City. He may be the owner of Huckleberry's Home for Pets, but he's also an Honorary member of the Society of Extraordinary Engineers, so not only will he be able to build his business elsewhere, but he's also willing to repurpose the caravan and make it suitable for more than six people, let alone four extra. Impressed by this hidden talent, Pineberry accepts the gift and wishes the manager good luck on her moving on to bigger and better things. Jumping back to the present, he finishes his story by saying how he had to cut a few corners to get an entry into every restaurant he comes to because emailing a resumé will likely put him and Huckleberry at the risk of being tracked by someone (i.e Purple Kingpin) who could be watching his every move. After what happened in Berry Big City, he feels that no matter where he goes in the world, he couldn't get away from the hate. Strawberry felt sorry for Pineberry. She had no idea how scary his life had been, and just when he was starting to enjoy baking in the city, all of that was ruined no thanks to the person who threatened to take it all away. But she was very understanding and offers to let Pineberry stay in Berry Bitty City as long as he likes, silently promising she won't tell a soul. With that, they share a hug.

After a well-energized breakfast, everyone went back to the task at hand, with Raspberry and Matcha walking back to her boutique to get started on her fashion designs for the corral at the Cafélonistro with his help. Like Pineberry, Matcha tells his story about what drew him into the world of fashion designing. Before moving to and from Berry Big City, he and his quadruplet siblings were born in Pumpkin Grove, their old childhood home. Pumpkin Spice was the oldest of the four, making her the Strawberry Shortcake of the family and always looking out for others. When they were kids (about Apple's previous age), Matcha was so shy at the time that he would watch from a distance than join the crowd. He would wander around the forest, finding peace and quiet with himself that he just sat down at a spot and relax his mind, letting his thoughts flow within and without. Then, realization struck him. He discovered how inspired he was to create that he would sketch it out and show it to the world. When they reached a certain age to run businesses of their own, the quadruplets went their separate ways with Matcha enrolling in a fashion warehouse in Berry Big City.
