Berrykins shouting: over here! No, over here come on!

(Berrykins shouting and laughing)

Hurry! Hurry, come on! Come on, everybody!

(Giggling) wait up, guys, wait up!

(Panting) any sign of it?

I'm afraid not.

Berrykins: you find it?

Nothing yet!

Got nothing over here!

Oh dear! It could be almost... Oh, anywhere.

That's why they call it a wanderberry.

We better find it soon.

We need it for the berryfest feast tomorrow.

Oh, we'll find it sooner or later. We always do.

Well, according to the rules,

The berryfest princess is in charge of the wanderberry hunt.

And you're the berryfest princess this year.

So you tell us where to look.

Lead on, oh fearless leader!

(Laughs)

Very well, faithful berry-hunters.

As your most leaderly leader, I hereby decree we look...

Hmm. Um, how about over that way?

Begging the princess' pardon, but the really amazing plants

Grow over by the creek. I bet it's that way.

I read somewhere that wanderberries like shade.

I say we check under those tall flowers.

I'm so sure we'll find it hiding in there somewhere.

Wanderberries need sun. It's gotta be over there.

Guess they all had their own ideas, huh?

I have a feeling we'll find it over here.

Just a hunch, but that's what my heart's telling me.

Come on, you two.

Okay, custard, pupcake, keep your eyes open.

Only one wanderberry plant grows at a time

And it could be anywhere. Could be right under our noses!

(Sniffing)

(Pupcake barks)

(Custard meows)

Oh! (Giggles)

There it is. The one-and-only, one-of-a-kind...

Wanderberry.

Strawberry: (gasps) isn't it the most berry beautiful thing

You've ever seen?

(Sniffing)

Careful, pupcake. This berry's going to be our dessert

At the berryfest feast tomorrow.

Berrykin bloom: look out!

(Crash)

Ooph! Ow!

Whoa, are you alright, berrykin bloom?

(Groaning)

Yes, thank you, miss shortcake, had a little stumble,

Took a little tumble, as I was looking for--

(Gasps) but you've found it!

Oh my, my, my. Yes, yes, yes. A fine specimen this year.

About the biggest I've ever seen!

Oh, the color, so rich! The shape, just so!

That texture! Oh, amazing!

Oh... (Sniffing)

And the aroma! Oh yes! Perfect in every way!

Oh, custard, no!

Yes, pet, we must take care.

There is but one of these delicious,

Nutritious berries at any given time.

And how fitting that you,

Our new berryfest princess, should have found it!

Raspberry: found it? Found it? Who found it?

Strawberry! Strawberry found it!

Girls: where? Who? Where is it?

Look at it!

Isn't it something?

Unbelievable!

It's incredible!

In unison: whoahhh!

All at once: let me get it! Let me! No, me!

Now-now. You know the tradition.

It's the berryfest princess who plucks the berry.

Berrykin : oh, I knew that. Didn't you know that?

Berrykin : I wanted to see if you knew!

Princess strawberry?

I'd be honored.

(Struggling and straining)

Pull harder!

You can do it!

Blueberry: come on, strawberry!

Lemon: give it a good yank!


Plum: that's it!

(Everyone cheering)

(Laughing) oh, look. There it goes!

At this moment, a new wanderberry

Is springing up somewhere!

Could it be here? Or there? Or there?

We never-ever know quite where.

This thing's pretty heavy. It's gonna take all of us,

Working together, to get it back.

(Cart rattling)

Is everyone ready?

In unison: ready!

Miss shortcake...?

(Bird singing in distance)

What's the matter?

Did you hear that?

Uh...i didn't hear anything.

Me neither.

Me neither, either.

But listen... Very close.

Oh! There it is again!

(Bird singing)

How berry beautiful...

Berrykin bloom: quite a lovely sound.

I still don't hear anything.

Plum: I hear my stomach growling.

Oh, just thinking about our picnic tomorrow,

And having this berry for dessert!

Oh. It stopped. I wonder why?

All I know is, we have to get this berry back.

Ah, you're right, orange blossom. Let's get moving.

Raspberry: heave!

Berrykins: ho!

Lemon: heave!

Everyone: ho!

Lemon: heave!

Everyone: ho!

Lemon: heave!

Everyone: ho!

Plum: and heave.

Everyone: (straining) and ho!

(Snap)

Blueberry: oh, no!

Lemon: quick, get the cart!

How will we get the berry back now?

Yeah, what'll we do, oh wise leader?

Just gonna have to carry it back, I guess.

That thing must weigh at least...a lot.

We can do it, together. Come on, everybody. Grab hold!

Blueberry: lift with your legs!

Raspberry: okay guys, count to three!

Lemon: one...

Plum: two...

Orange: three!

Blueberry: better hurry.

Lemon: it's getting dark.

Orange: yeah, can't leave it way out here.

Plum: gotta get it back tonight.

Raspberry: right, we have a tradition to keep, you know!

Plum: heave!

Blueberry: ho!

Orange: heeeeave!

Blueberry: hoooooo!

Plum: can i...take a... Little break?

Lemon: (panting) me...too.

I think we all need a rest.

Berrykins: (sighing) oh boy!

We'll catch our breath, then we'll start again.

Why can't we just leave it here?

Yeah, just for one night.

Oh, I don't think we better.

Please, strawberry?

Um...it's tradition to store it at the berryworks, right?

We should keep moving... Right?

It is tradition. But you are the berryfest princess

And this decision is yours to make.

I know everyone is berry tired...

We're having the picnic here tomorrow.

That's true.

So we'd just have to bring it back.

Yeah... I guess it'll be okay.

(Bird singing)

Oh! Pupcake, custard, do you hear that?

(Meow)

It sounds somehow... Different now.

Almost like... Something's wrong.

Maybe we should go look for it, to make sure it's alright.

Plum: (yelling) strawberry, strawberry, strawberry!

Orange: it's a disaster, disaster, disaster!

What is, what's the matter, what's wrong?

Plum: come on and see!

Why won't you tell me what--

(Gasps) oh, no!

Is everything alright? The berrykins tell me that--

Oh! Oh, my!

We've been robbed by rabbits, burgled by bunnies!

And they ate almost every last berry bit.

Oh, I was really looking forward

To a big berry dessert this afternoon.

It just won't be the berryfest feast without it.


Yeah, it's a... Tradition!

When the old one disappeared, a new one popped up,

Somewhere, right, berrykin bloom?

Oh yes, that's true. Quite true.

Alright!

We'll have a wanderberry after all!

Plum: fantastic! Oh, yeah!

Oh, I love it!

(Bird singing)

Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go find it!

I think...there's something wrong with that bird.

I think it needs me.

I think we need you!

You know, she's right.

There's only about a ton of things to do around here.

And since you're the berryfest princess this year,

You're in charge of everything.

You have to judge the flower show.

And you need to help with the berrykin band concert.

Plum: and there's the whole berryfest feast to plan!

Raspberry: and you can't do anything 'til we find another wanderberry!

Plum: you're the leader, you have to decide what we do next.

Alright. Alright! I will decide.

Orange blossom, you help the berrykin band

Set up for their concert.

Will do!

Lemon meringue, you get the flower show set up

And pick the top three for me.

I'm on it!

Strawberry: raspberry torte, plum pudding, blueberry muffin.

You'll help me get the food ready for the feast.

And you...

Berrykin : yes?

I want you to go look for the new wanderberry, okay?

Will do! Okay!

Count on us!

How many does that make?

Forty-six and... Forty-seven.

Right. Need about another dozen.

All done with flowers. Need any help in here?

Oh, we'd love some help with the sandwiches!

Orange: the berrykin band's ready to go. Can I help here?

We can use all the help we can get.

You and I can work on the salad, orange blossom.

Strawberry: see, we're going to be fine.

As long as we work together, nothing can stop us!

(Gasps) did you find the new wanderberry?

In unison: we looked everywhere. Two times, no, three!

We couldn't find it. And we're as sorry as can be.

(Sigh)

Oh, no!

How can we possibly have the berryfest feast

Without the wanderberry?

It's almost time for the picnic.

You still have to pick a winner at the flower show.

And there's the band concert, too.

Blueberry: so what are we going to do, strawberry?

Plumwhat are you gonna do, strawberry?

You're the leader here!

Raspberry: yeah! Tell us, strawberry!

Lemon: what's gonna happen?

What'll we do?

Yeah, what?

I don't know!

I need a minute to think. By myself.

Was it just me, or did she seem a little stressed?

(Sighs) I have no clue what to do! It's all just...

(Sighs) too much.

(Bird singing)

Oh... There it is again.

It's coming from over there, isn't it?

It sounds like it's having some real trouble.

I better go check on it.

Oh...but they're waiting for me back there.

What should I do? It's so hard to decide...

Berrykin bloom: it's never easy, is it?

I want to make everybody happy,

But they all want something different.

I can't decide who to listen to first.

Oh, you'll do the right thing.

Don't worry that the others might disagree with you.

Just listen to your heart, strawberry shortcake.

You have a very good one, you know.

Thank you.

I'll tell your friends you need a few minutes.

(Bird singing)

I know what I have to do.

I have to find that bird, but...which way now?

(Bird singing)

Do you think it sounds...weaker?

Seems like it's coming from this way.

Come on, you two, let's hurry.

(Bird singing)

I still hear it. It's up here somewhere, I'm sure.

(Whining)

You can do it, pupcake.

(Meowing)

Strawberry: there you go, come on, now.

I think we're getting closer.

Oh. I don't hear it anymore. Do you?


Where could it be?

What is it, custard?

(Meows)

Oh! You found the wanderberry!

It's smaller than the other one,

But it's still berry beautiful.

I'll be careful not to lose this one.

Strawberry!

You found it!

Oh, we were worried about you! Didn't know you were out here

Finding the wanderberry all by yourself!

Lucky for us, you're the berryfest princess this year!

Raspberry: come on! Let's get it back to town!

(Bird singing)

In just a moment.

Uh...but, why not now?

Because first I have to find that bird.

Do you know where it is, pupcake?

(Pupcake barks)

There it is!

(Bird whistling weakly)

Strawberry: oh, poor little fella.

Oh, my. The sweet little thing.

What's the matter with it?

I'm not sure.

(Chirping)

Raspberry: oh, dear! It's all tangled up.

Can you get it loose, strawberry?

I think so...

(Chirping)

There, you're free.

Go on, little birdie, you fly away now.

We have to get this berry back home.

Uh...strawberry? You coming?

Something's still wrong.

Oh... It can't fly.

Why not?

I don't know.

Uh...maybe it hurt its wing!

Oh! We better leave it here and get a doctor.

Or we could build a stretcher and carry it back to town.

Yeah, those are berry good ideas, but...

What is it?

(Chirping)

Are you hungry?

(Chirping)

Uh...strawberry, that's for the feast, remember?

Let's see if it wants some.

Does that make you feel better?

Have some more.

Well, uh... Don't give it all.

We can find some seeds or something.

But this is helping.

Berrykin bloom: it's a very special plant.

The wanderberry is especially nutritious.

If we don't get the berry back for the feast,

Everybody's gonna be really disappointed.

Well, if they are... I'm sorry.

But this is the right thing to do. I know it is.

How can you be so sure?

I can't be completely sure, but I have to make

What I feel is the best decision and go with it.

I guess that's what being in charge is about.

I've considered everybody's ideas,

But now I have to do what I feel is right,

Even if it doesn't please everyone.

You can't make a better decision than that!

(Whistling cheerfully)

It is pretty, isn't it?

Yeah, kind of beautiful.

Here, little fella.

(Whistling)

(Wings flapping)

(Whistling continues)

That berry was just what it needed.

I'm glad we listened to you, strawberry,

Otherwise we never would have made up our minds on what to do!

(Giggling) that's why you're the leader

'Cause you know how to stick with a good choice,

Even if it wasn't what the rest of us wanted.

Thanks, guys.

Strawberry, it's wonderful!

What? What is it?

Guess we're having a berryfest feast after all!

Is everybody ready for dessert?

(Everyone cheering)

(Laughing)

I think there's enough to go around!

(Cheering)

Berrykin bloom: but first...

First, my friends, let's thank our hostess,

Our berryfest princess, for this wonderful feast.

(Everyone cheering)

Thank you, everybody. I'm just glad that...that...

(Bird singing)

What's the matter, strawberry? You speechless?

No, listen...

(Bird singing)

That's the song it was singing the first time I heard it.

Berrykin bloom: no...i think it's a little different.


I think this song is a song meant for you.
