Well? Whatta ya think?

(Giggle) I think it's amazing! A skirt that's a video screen!

Congratulations, Raspberry, what a brilliant invention!

Thanks, Strawberry! Apple, can we jump online? "Berry In the Know"'s almost over!

It's the fashion talk webcast we're doing this fashion show for.

Oh!



"Berry In the Knowww!"... the Berry Bitty fashion world's go- to show

to know what's nouveau... Y'know? Ha ha!

Don't forget our Technology In Fashion contest taking place tomorrow!

(Gasp!) That's the contest we entered!

We have some spectacularly intriguing entries coming in from

all over the Berry Bitty World. But the entry that's really frilling my frock

is from Berry Bitty City, and those fabulous fashionistas,

Lemon Meringue and Rah, Rah, Razzzzberry Torte!

Both:(Gitty) That's us!

I can't believe it! -Oh my goodness!

Don't forget to be ready to text in your votes for your favorite techno-fashion.



Mwah mwah mwah.

When the Berry Bitty World sees Strawberry walk down the runway wearing

my screen-skirt and Lemon's mood-nails,

we'll absolutely, positively get the most votes!

Lemon, Your mood nails turned blue. Are you sad?

I was just thinking...

Raspberry's screen skirt is so outrageously wonderful.

I don't know if my mood nails make much of a statement.

Well, I think they're great!

Thank you, but...

You'll barely see them in the webcast.

They're not as prominent as, like a hairstyle, or...

(Gasp!)

Aghhh!

That's it! Forget mood nails, I'll do moody hair! We'll call them Moodies!!!



I can try, and always have the mood nails as back up.

Well, you better get to it.

It's gonna be a long night.

Here goes nothin'. Juice cables?

(Sparks, rumbling)

RaspberryIt's not

... alive? Is it?

No, it's the sparkleberry juice that makes it move that way...

and the energy of the emotion of whoever wears it.

Behold...

MOODY HAIR!

Hey, Orange... I haven't been to many fashion shows...

But... aren't we s'posed to have a model?

What's going on in the dressing rooooom...?

Sorry, it's taking longer than we thought to reroute all the screen-skirt cables.

And we haven't even added the moody hair yet.

(Struggling) Maybe I shouldn't try to change tops? Just model one outfit?

Can't have a fashion show with only one outfit! We have to find a figure..

a way...

we gotta model at least four different tops with the screen skirt.

But how? Even with both of us helping, she can't change that fast.



Hi, Girls! We would love to watch your fashion show. Is that okay?

What "we?" You dragged me here

(Chuckle)...Little early for Halloween, isn't it?

You're very welcome to watch. 'Scuse us for a second...

Psst! I got an idea!

Why not use the twins as models? That way people will think it's just one model,

and you can have one on camera while the other is changing.

Might work...

But we wanted to feature you in your kitchen, Strawberry!

Strawberry'd still be in the video clips on the skirt...

Good point.

Lemme ask 'em.

I thought the theme was "technology in fashion," not "monotony in fashion."

I'm sure they are just ironing out some glitches.

Ironing! Fashion? Clothes?(Giggle) ...Funny, huh?

No.

Um, excuse me? Sour? Sweet? We have a problem we think you could help us with.



Both(Gasp)

Oh we're so flattered. Yes!

Whu.. Hold up. Why would anyone want to look at me?

Sour! You're gorgeous!

Of course you would say that, you look just like me.

Well, you also have personal flair.

SourI don't. -You do.

SourYou have more -That's silly.

Everyone'll be looking at you instead of me.

SweetWon't -Will.



Please, there's no time for arguments.

There's always time for arguments.

Like jelly beans - you can't have just one.

C'mon, Sour. It'll be fun.

Ohhhhhhhhh... 'kay.

Thank you so much for thinking of us, Strawberry!

Are you sure this 'moody hair' thing is gonna work?

Wow! It really does work! I'm impressed, Lemon!

(Aggh)

Is uh...something wrong, Sour?

Sweet's hair looks better than mine.

Oh, I think I get it. Sour's hair is "green with envy!" (Giggles)

Trust me, Sour. If both your hairstyles aren't fabulous,

it'll be just as much my reputation as yours.

Now remember, Girls, the fashion webcast is tonight,

so you'll have to keep your "moodies" on for the rest of the day.

Moodies! Ohh, that's cute, Lemon.

I'll see you at rehearsal in half an hour.

We'll be there!

What's with you and this "we" thing?

SweetWe're twins!

SourHuh! Not if I can help it....

Hi, Orange! You look nice, today.

Sweet!(Gasp) Sour! So do you! Wow, are those Lemon's moody hair pieces?

She calls 'em "moodies." Aren't they the best? She's so talented!

Oh, is that what talent is? Who knew!

We need to pick up a few things for the cafe.

Happy to help!

Uh, then help me understand why there's no whole wheat flour in this whole joint?

Oh, uh (big sigh) I just ran out this morning.

Great. Wellll, I guess we can just forget about baking at the cafe this week.

No pancakes, no pies, no muffins, no bread.

Sourrr...!



...No waffles, no puff pastries, no cake, and you can kiss cookies goodbye!

Do you think this is funny?

Oo, what's this? My sweet sister, angry?

Uh, I'm not angry. Why would you say that?

Cuz your hair is steaming! (Big, excited inhale) This is so great!

Oh, uh. Golly, that's probably just static, or I don't know.

(Giggles) Aw, your hair is blushing. That's awesome!

Your hair is doing a joy dance. You must be berry happy!

Happy!!!??? I am not.

I was just saying what the hair is doing. And Lemon told me these dos don't lie.

I... I've never told a lie in my life. That's just so... wrong!

As if!

(Growling noises)

Gee, don't get your hair in a tangle.

(Sproinging)

(Yelp)

AllYikes!

Quick, the door!

All(Panting)

Eh, good move, Orange! I'm so glad those things are locked in there.

Did I or didn't I?

Did you or didn't you what?

Close the back window this morning?

All(Surprised gasps)

(Boings)

I didn't.

SweetRaspberry? Are you here?

(Gasp)

BothAhhh!

MoodiesAhhh!

Girls! Have you seen two runaway hair extensions?

With attitudes?

Those twins are never on time.

(Phone ring).

Hello?... Oh, Hi Strawberry... you're where?... They WHAT!?

(Scared yelling)

Uh! Are those my... are they wearing hats from my new puppy fashions?

No one's supposed to see those until I release my spring line!

(Doink)

Did ya have to make them so, so... moody?

I didn't realize how much out-of-control emotion those twins

had roaring around inside them! Musta blown their circuits!

Yoo-hoo! Oh, cutey-moodies!

MoodiesYelp

That's right! It's me! Come to Mama!

Heh heh. Sure love their "mama."

(Gasp)

Berrykins(Yelling for help)

"Get em!"

SweetOver here

LemonWatch out

SourThere's one

I got one.

"Oh no"

Hey, check it! Hair bait!

(Chasing excitement)

Naughty, Moodies! Naughty!

(Exasperated sigh)

What are we going to do? I don't think all the mousse in the world

could get those things to behave.

Well, I'm not modeling with some wigged-out wiglet on my head.

Lemon, we'll do anything to help you with the show.

Go ahead and make a fool of yourselves in front of all the Berry Bitty World,

but you can count me out.

Sour, don't you think you're sounding just a little bit, um...

Selfish?

-Yes! -No.

Raspberry, you better go ahead without me and just do the show with your skirt.

I'm not doing the fashion show without you. We're a team, Lemon.

Thanks, Raspberry.

(Sigh) I really thought I had something with my original vision.

What was that?

A haircam that displays on Raspberry's skirt.

But I couldn't hide the cameras and cables well enough.

Cool.

Y'know? I betcha... I could hide cameras in these barrettes.

You could?

And I think... I could make 'em wireless.

No cables to mess with.

You COULD?!

But... now it really is last minute. Don't know if we can do it.



Lemon. Just do your best.

(Pre-show chatter)

(Metallic squeak)

I don't wear glasses.

Yes, but it's important that the audience thinks you and Sweet are the same model.

That's the problem. I don't want to be the same as her.

(Sigh) But Sour, you agreed!

I didn't. You twisted my arm.

Okay, guys, everything's ready with Berryweb hookup...

When this light goes red...?

...The webcams'll be live, and you're on!

Every "Berry In the Know" fan in the Berry Bitty World

will be streaming your fashion show!

Thanks, Apple! Great job!

Are you done with me yet?

Uh huh, and mmm hmmm

and...yes!

Ah-ah-ahhh...?

(Frustrated exhale)

Lemon, you're a genius. Sour, you look gorgeous!

You're just saying that cuz now I look like you.

Oh, Sour. I'm sorry, but...

Please, can't you try to be a good sport?

Hi, Sweet! Whoah, you look terrific!

I AM NOT SWEE...

(Gasp)

...That is, I am not ...responsible. It's all due to Lemon's genius.

And yours, Apple!

Look at...all this!

How does this work?

This will show what's airing on "Berry In The Know,"

and this shows what our webcams onstage are filming live.

Whatever.

I mean... AMAZING!!! You're sooo talented.

And when the light turns red--

-Never mind, that. Uh, how is it all...

...plugged in?

Well... the sparkleberry juice power cables are connected to the--

OrangeApple! Can you help me with this light stand?

Sure!

'Scuse me.

(Beep)

Power cable, power cable?

(Grunt)

(Power shutting down)

(Gasp)

OrangeThat'll do, Apple.

Thanks! Any time.

Uh!! It's down. Why's it down? (Gasp) Hmm?

I musta crashed the system with those barrette cams!

Oh no oh no oh no OHNOOOO!!!

RaspberryApple, we're ready to go in ten!

Yeah! No worries!

Oh no, oh no oh no. Oh here!

(Power on)

(Wheeewww!)

Five minutes to airtime, everybody!

Five minutes!

("Berry In The Know" intro music)

Mavis Maraschino here. Hello fans! Are you "Berry In The Know?"

(Cackles)

We're about to find out when we begin our first

fashion show contest.

Merciful Madras - the submission from Berry Bitty City is broadcasting early!

They weren't supposed to start for another few minutes, but uh...

Ooooh, it looks like something... interesting is going on there!

(Chuckle)

The latex can wait! We take you live to Berry Bitty City!

Lemon! Lemon, where are you? Five minutes!

We gotta get the barrette camera's in the twins' hair!

I can't find the models!

What? They must be over there.

Why did you say I twisted your arm?

It's so clear now! This was all your planning to get us to look exactly the same.

Of all the underhanded...

But you know this fashion show wasn't my idea...

I don't know that.

You actually believe we all plotted behind your back?

Anything's possible.

It's only for the show anyway. It's not like you have to look like me forever.

SourHello? We're twins!

Places, people - three minutes to air time!

(Gasp)

Berrykins(Shrieks!)

Ahhh!

What is it?

They're loose!

Who's loose?

The.. the...

Strawberry! You identity saboteur!

Helping Sweet eradicate any last bit of individuality I have!

She.. never..

There you are! Quick! We're live in two!

More like in one!

Bursting boysenberries, get those barrette cams in their hair!

All(Shrieks!)

AllAhhhh!

All(Struggling)

Where'd they go?

Hey, you're hair looks better than mine!

I'm not setting a foot on that catwalk until I look as good.

But your hair looks good, too.

Does not!

Does too!

Hey, Apple, is that light s'posed to be on?

What light?

That red one?

(Gasping inhale)

(Scream!) WE'RE ON! UNPLUG! UNPLUG!

(Power down)

They've...They've been seeing us!

See-seeing us? Who?

EVERYBODYYYY!

We've been on! Live! All this time!

(Shrieeeeeek!)

All(Groaning)

RaspberryWe're live in two!

LemonMore like in one!

RaspberryBursting boysenberries, get those barrette cams in their hair!

All(Shriek!)--

Awww, Disaster.

Our reputations are ruined.

I'll never sell another outfit.

My salon'll be boycotted.

Never showing my face again...

Wait - I've got it. Identity makeovers.

I'm in. I'll change my name, hair, face, voice. I won't even be Raspberry anymore.

I'll even start eating lima beans.

It's not that bad...

It's worse. Look how many messages are waiting for us to read!

(Text message beeping)

I'm never looking at my phone again.

Can you just imagine the nasty texts we're getting?

I'm so sorry. I was in charge of the tech... It's my fault.

It's not your fault, Apple.

It's mine.

What do you mean, Sour?

(Sigh)I fooled around with Apple's computer stuff. I was trying to...

well, pull the plug on the whole show.

And seeing the playback of how awful I treated my sister...

I never knew how... how awful I was...

You're leaving?

You'll be better off without me. Sweet'll stay and help you in the cafe.

Don't count on it.

Sweet? What are you..? You didn't do anything wrong; you never do.

You're my sister. I stick with you no matter what.

Oh, Sweet. I'm sorry. Everywhere we go, I wear out our welcome.

You can't leave! I've been all over, and I promise, this place is the best.

You'll see - this is the kind of place where you can wear out your welcome

and still be welcome. Because you're loved.

That's right.

Please don't go.

Really?

You'll forgive me?

Us.

-Us.

We'll both try and get along better.

(Giggle) Of course.

(Deep breath) Here goes.

Bouncing Myrtleberries! I can't believe this.

Mmmmm. That bad, huh?

No!

No, listen. "Congratulations to Berry Bitty City for winning

Berry In the Know's fashion contest!"

BothWha????

"How inventive and avant-garde of you to enter a comedy fashion show!"

(Giggle)

"Your admirer, Mavis Maraschino!"

We won?!

All(Screaming in glee!)

So Lemon, I forgot to ask,

(Giggle)

What did you end up doing with those hair thingies?

The moodies? They disappeared. Thank goodness we've seen the last of them!

(Cheers and whistles)
