Strawberry: glitters.
No, glittery!
Glittery?
No-no-no-no-no, glitter-ing!
Glit...ter...ing. Oh, that sounds best!
What do you think, pupcake?
(Barks)
Strawberry: custard?
(Meows)
Aww, why thank you.
Hmm. Now, what rhymes with star?
(Gasps) I know, far!
Ahem!
Up in the sky, so very far,
(Gasps) look, what's that?
A falling star!
One wish to make, what will it be?
A lot at stake, you must agree.
Little white light, a glittering ball,
With great delight I watch it fall.
Soon as it's gone, my wish comes then,
To see before dawn, one fall again.
Mr. Longface: oh-ho! Bravo!
Delightful, miss shortcake, simply delightful!
Oh, mr. Longface! I'm so glad you're here.
It's only a week until the next story time corner,
And you're the perfect person to help me with the poem
I'll be reading for everyone.
It's almost there, I think,
But I would be grateful for some help with these two words.
Oh! T'would be an honor!
Oh, thank you!
Just those two words are all that i--
(Phone ringing)
Oops! Excuse me.
Strawberry's café,
Hope you're having a berry nice day.
Strawberry speaking.
Oh, that's great!
I'll be right over, raspberry.
Umm, do you mind watching the café, mr. Longface?
Just running over to raspberry's boutique,
Be right back!
Why, certainly! Take your time.
Hmm. Glittering?
Oh no-no-no-no-no, glitter-y!
Yes.
Strawberry: I'm so excited!
A custom-designed one of a kind
Raspberry original dress for my own poetry night!
Raspberry: mmm-hmm.
Okay, I have all your merry measurements,
Now I know what size to make your dress!
So you can relax. (Giggles)
(Sighs)
Uh, would you like to see my preliminary,
You know, my first sketches?
And you can make any changes you want.
Surprise me!
I just love surprises.
Well, okay then. I guess so.
Then I'll just, um, you know, go with what I had,
I mean have in mind, if that's what you have in mind.
Sounds terrific!
Well, I've got to get back to the café.
Thanks!
Raspberry: I'll have it ready for you by story time!
Mr. Longface: oh falling star from outer space!
How doth I wish to see your face!
Oh falling star up in the sky!
I see you twinkle with my eye!
Don't fly away! You'll make me cry!
(Sobs)
Oh! (Clears throat)
Ah, miss shortcake.
Would you know a word that rhymes with "cry"?
Why?
"Why"! Of course! Perfect!
I mean...
Why change so much of my poem?
Didn't you like it?
(Gasps) oh, no, my dear,
I simply adored it!
I merely made a few changes
To give it more of that sense of being there.
The actual moment when you saw the star!
Well, to tell the truth,
I haven't ever seen a sh**ting star,
I was more imagining.
Oh my. But to be a true poet,
You must write about what you know!
To write what it feels like
To wish upon a falling star, you must...
Experience it for yourself!
Hmm.
(Crickets chirping)
Hi guys!
Hi, plum pudding!
Where are you off to strawberry?
On a campout.
I'm trying to write a poem
About wishing on a sh**ting star,
And mr. Longface says to write about something,
You should experience it.
Ahhh yes, just like when I dance,
One has to...
Feel it from within!
Uh...yeah!
Think it might be a little cold tonight for a campout?
Well, if this'll make me a better writer,
It's worth it.
Oh, wait.
I have some glowberry-sunflower energy bars,
They're just the thing for a campout.
Thanks, plum!
Plum: looks like raspberry's working late.
Maybe she could use some munchies.
Oh, do me favor, will you?
Make sure she's not working too hard
On that dress she's making for me.
Sure thing.
(Scooter purring)
Have fun!
(Frustrated groan)
Hi, raspberry!
How's it going?
(Frustrated groan)
Well, I started out with a design I liked,
But then, well I wasn't so sure,
So I made a couple changes,
And pretty soon I'm changing my mind back and forth,
But now I'm thinking I really like what I started with best,
But now I'm worried I won't finish it in time.
Oh, you poor thing. Can I help?
I can cut stuff or, you could show me what to do.
That's so sweet of you,
But it's really important to me that I do this by myself.
Know what I mean?
I guess. Are you sure?
I'm sure. I just hope I can.
(Sewing machine whirring)
(Plum giggling)
Plum: ta-dah!
Oh, my goodness! (Laughs)
What are you saying? That I'm no fashion expert?
(Laughs harder)
Always in style, always in fashion,
And it only took me a couple of minutes!
What's that? Not strawberry's style?
No problem, I'll just pull another model
Out of my sleeve.
There!
(With accent) hiya-hiya,
I'm strawberry's new dress!
How do you like me?
(Laughs) stop! Oh dear!
Did I cheer you up?
(Chuckles) oh, yeah.
But now I really have to get back to work.
I like this so much,
I just want, I just hope, I just...
Wish I can make it in time.
You'll do it. You just need a good night's sleep,
A fresh start in the morning,
And I know you'll make your wish come true.
I'll close up your shop.
Really? Okay. Good night, plum.
(Yawns)
Thanks again.
What are friends for?
(Gasps)
Hi, blueberry? It's plum.
(Yawns)
(Barking and meowing)
Aw, I missed it!
Okay, no more yawning.
Plum: and so that's the deal.
Lemon: awww, poor raspberry!
And you know how she wants everything she makes
To be the berry best it can be.
That's why I say we've got to finish
Strawberry's outfit ourselves. Tonight!
What plum's talking about us doing sounds like this story,
"The shoemaker and the elves".
While the shoemaker is asleep,
These elves sneak in and make the shoes to help him out.
Orange: (gasps)
We could be like the elves!
Lemon: raspberry's secret helpers!
Deal?
Together: deal!
(Barking and meowing)
(Gasps) what?!
(Disapppointed sigh)
Okay. No more sleeping!
(Crickets chirping)
Okay, shh!
Shh!
Shh!
Shush!

Morning, raspberry!
We were just walking by and--
Wow, would you look at that!
What a great outfit!
But, but, but... Where'd it come from?
Didn't you make it?
Um, i-i don't remember making it.
I don't think I could have.
All night I dreamed about sewing,
But I don't remember, I mean,
This really isn't my original design, so i...
Well, you see, we thought, well it was--
It was the fashion elves!
Fashion elves?
Yeah! You know, like the story about the shoemaker's elves?
Blueberry has a book about it!
Huh? Oh! Uhh-yeah! Kinda like um...
The berrykins!
But with pointy shoes!
They know when you're in need and they come at night and help!
Really! Can you see them?
Well, um...
You can! I mean, you can't!
I mean, you can, but you shouldn't.
Those are the rules.
You spy on fashion elves,
They run away and never come back.
That's right.
Elves. Tsk, what're you gonna do?
It must have been because you were wishing so hard
For your dress to be made, your wish came true!
It isn't that you couldn't have done it on your own...
And it's still from your design.
Well, not really. (Giggles)
This is much more, uh, complicated?
But wow.
If these fashion elves can make a design
This complicated in one night,
Think what they could do with a little more...direction!
Huh?! Huh?!
Now I can really go wild and design something for strawberry
That is extra, extra-ordinary...
Out of this world!
(Giggles) oh oh oh, something like this!
I'll leave a new design out for the fashion elves tonight,
And see how they do with it!
Um, maybe they're, er...
Only one-night elves?
Possibly, yes, but in case they are here to stay,
I better get designing,
Because strawberry deserves the berry best!
(Giggles)
Plum(yawning) keep your heels on the floor as long as possible...
Don't you think we should tell her the truth?
(Yawns)
How are we gonna stay up another whole night?
I was going to, until somebody said "fashion elves".
I'm sorry.
(Yawns) releve...
And turn around.
(Yawns) grand plie, first position.
(Thud)
(Snoring)
Huh?!
(Snoring)
(Scooter purring)
(Crickets chirping)
Yum! Elf snacks!
We're gonna need the nutrition.
This is a monster of a dress!
We'll never finish it by morning.
We've got to, for raspberry.
Look, let's divide the design in four parts,
And each take a section.
Good idea.
(Cutting paper)
See?
Now if it drizzles, we won't get wet!
We'll just climb into the tent!
(Meows)
Oh, muffin crumbs!
It's stuck!
(Barking and meowing)
Don't tell me.
(Barking and meowing)
(Gasps) oh! Oh.
(Door opens)
(Yawns) morning, raspberry!
We came to see the elves' latest and greatest!
(Gasps)
This is exquisite!
Especially this area.
I really love this lace down here.
Hmmm,
But, see, it only goes part way around the hem.
Hmm, it seems like the elves have gotten off track.
Off track?!
Well, i-i think this outfit is a smashing success!
It's fabulous.
Just look at the placement of these buttons,
So, uh, pleasingly unexpected!
But, but, but girls,
This dress doesn't look anything like my design.
Hmm.
I like this detail here, and this lace over here,
And these buttons are quite clever,
But the whole thing seems like
Too many, um, different designs in one.
I know!
All: huh?
What are you doing?
You're not doing a new design are you?
Uh, no-no-no. I'm writing the elves a note.
Well, you could just tell us and--
Well, you could just tell us and-- shh!
(Gasps)
Raspberry: "dear elves,
Please concentrate on one idea and go with it.
Gratefully yours, raspberry torte."
Um: please concentrate on so, you see the problem?
I really think the best solution is to go with my idea,
But I don't know how to tell the girls in the nicest way,
So I don't make them feel like I'm...
You know, putting down their dress designs.
And how many nights have you girls been "fashion sprites"?
Elves.
Sorry.
I've lost count.
Umm, four?
Tell you what, I'm about to open the café,
So why don't you come back at today
And we'll talk it over?
I think I'll have an answer by then.
Oh, that's great!
Okay, thanks strawberry!
So what do you think?
How can I convince them to go with my idea
And not hurt their feelings?
Lemon, I've having trouble hearing.
Can you come by the cafe, at say,
And I'm sure I'll have an answer for you.
Great! Thanks, strawberry!(Sighs) oh, you've got to help me.
My idea is just simplest, that's all,
But I don't want to appear bossy, you know.
I have to get back to the cafe, but come by at, say ?
And we'll talk it over.
(Door opens and closes)
Strawberry? You said :, right?
Oh, hi, blueberry!
I'll be with you in just a second.
(Gasps)
(Greeting awkwardly)
Strawberry: hi all!
Tea? Muffins? I know,
Smoothies!
But...
I thought...
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?
(Talking over each other)
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.
But we had to! I offered to help her,
But she wanted to do it all by herself.
Helping is good, but, well--
Pardon the interruption,
But here are three of my latest versions of your poem
For your review, miss shortcake.
What were you saying, strawberry?
Oh, it's just...
Sometimes you want to make something your own way.
You know,
It's nice to know you can do some things all on your own.
All on your own.
Yes!
Hmm.
Strawberry's right, we should tell her the truth.
Oh, but how? She'll be so disappointed.
I'd rather make ten more dresses than disappoint raspberry.
Maybe the trouble is that we weren't working together.
Let's all agree on one design and start over!
♪
Oh, raspberry!
Up and at 'em!
Rise and shine, sunshine!
Morning's a wasting.
(Yawns)
(Giggles)
I've gotten used to over-sleeping,
Now that all my work is being done for me.
Wow.
Oh.
It's perfect. It's absolutely amazing.
Then why do you look so sad?
Hmm, because I didn't make it.
I really wanted to make something sweet for strawberry
That was all from me to her.
My own design, all made by me.
I can't take credit for this though,
Even if it is really fabulously fantastic.
Although, the elves could surely use some practice
With their cross-stitching.
See but I'm worried I'm going to hurt the elves' feelings,
But I have one more day to make strawberry's dress,
And I'm going to ask them to let me do it all by myself.
Listen, raspberry.
You don't need to write the note.
There's, um, something we need to tell you.
A poem of my own.
Oh, of course,
You're perfectly right, miss shortcake.
I'm afraid I got a bit carried away.
I hope you know how much I always appreciate your help,
Mr. Longface.
As I appreciate yours, miss shortcake.
Your poem reawakened my long-lost love of poetry!
Oh, girls.
I know you were just trying to help.
Well, if I fail,
At least strawberry could wear the dress you made.
Well, I've got a lot of work to do.
Maybe there is another way we can help you, raspberry!
Huh?

Raspberry: you know, if it's too simple, strawberry,
I have a back-up dress that is--
Oh, I'd know a raspberry design anywhere.
It's beautiful.
Strawberry: I've done a lot of things so far.
But never wished on a falling star.
I've heard they're sparkly,
Fast and white,
With glittery tails
That light the night.
Maybe, they look kind of prickly or furry.
Someday I'll know,
But I'm in no hurry.
Who knows where I'll see one or when?
I guess I'll just save up my wishes 'til then.
In the meantime, I'm just having fun
Imagining the time when I do see one.
