Ahhh!!

(Gobbling)

Oo! (Gasp!)

G'morning!

Thanks for the mail.

Ahh chooo!

Marketplace all closed up?

Yep. I did all the stuff you asked.

Great. Thank you.

Guess we're all set to go, soon as the girls get here.

Oh, I'm so excited to show you, and Sweet 'n Sour

how beautiful our countryside is.

Your guys' first Berry Bitty City annual camp-out!

Uh, Strawb? I think I've been on a few camp-outs in my day.

(Giggles) I know you have, Apple. But this is your first one with me.

And that's berry special to me.

Oh, yeah. Me too!

Whatcha got there?

This is the perfect opportunity for me to film a camping video.

I'm gonna set up as a link on my Berry Best Bits page.

So, like a travelogue? "My Night in the Wilderness?"

Not exactly. More like Apple's Step-by-Step guide on

How to Set Up Camp the Right and Proper Apple Way.

Sounds like a big project!

No task is too big when it comes to teaching the world

the science of camping in the outdoors.

Sounds great, but...

y'know, this campout is for fun and friends, not work.

So, I hope you won't be too busy to have fun too...

Sour! Sweet! Are you ready?

Hi Apple!

Where is everyone?

I don't know if this "great outdoors" thing is gonna be so great.

Sour! We haven't even left yet.

That's the best time to rethink going somewhere.

That's a sweet camera, Apple!

Ha Ha. Sweet! Get it? (Giggles)

(Giggling)

(Gasp)

That does look pretty pro. sh**ting a big movie?

A camping tutorial.

Oh wow great idea.

A movie all about us?

A video of our campout!

Uh, no. Actually, none of you are in it. Just me.

I am going to demonstrate, in high definition, stop motion,

time-lapse photography, how to set up a camp.

The fine points of how to properly pitch a tent...

the do's and don'ts of unrolling a sleeping bag...

how to avoid the heartbreak of a cold cookstove...

Two hours packed with vital information every camper needs to know.

Uh,. two hours?

And an extra half-hour of exclusive bonus material,

"Camping Tutorial: The Making Of!"

I need a cloth to clean this with -- do you have one, Strawb'?

Sure, in the kitchen.

Are we ever going? Somewhere out there... is a poison ivy plant with my name on it.

PlumWe're coming! -OrangeWait for us!

(Panting) Sorry we're late, Strawberry!

Whew, almost forgot the supplies Sweet asked for.

No worries.

So Orange, you got marshmallows?

Check. Cherry's got em in her pack.

Girls, I'm so excited to make you my special S'more Than S'mores recipe.

It's regular S'mores you know, graham crackers,

marshmallows and chocolate bar, with my unique twist

strawberry slices and shaved almond!

"Yum" says Plum.

"Neat," says Sweet. (Giggles)

"Oh nuts" says Orange.

Uh... that doesn't rhyme.

No, no. The almond!

(Gasp) I think I left it on the counter in my store.

I'll go with you.

And chocolate milk? You can't have a campfire without hot chocolate!

Plum's got it in her canteen.

Perfect. We'll heat it up on our campfire. And then...

you all know what's next!

All(Giggles)

What? What's next? We put the fire out?

(Sighs) (giggle)

It's one of our long-standing camp-out traditions... tall tales.

Tall tales?

Yeah, we make up fun stories, like tales, like make-believe,

and tell 'em around the campfire.

Everyone gets a turn.

The wilder, more outrageous, the better.

Sounds... outrageously thrilling.

How about short tales so we can get home sooner?

(Giggle) You're too funny, Sour.

All ready...!

Are we good?

(Panting) Almond. -Got it.

We're all set.

Let's do it!

♪

(Tired sigh)

Whew!

(Gasps) Apple, this isn't a race!

Gotta get there so I can start sh**ting! C'mon, Tea Time...

We're supposed to be relaxing and (breath) having fun!

(Giggle) Oh, I better catch up with her.

You do that. I'm going to take a little break. (Whew)

-Have a good break. -Good idea. -See you tonight.

SweetEnjoy your rest, Cherry.

Now that looks like the best idea I've seen all day.

(Whew) You said it.

Uh, guys? That isn't the chocolate milk for

the hot chocolate around the campfire tonight, is it?

Uh, and isn't that almond supposed to be for Sweet's

special S'more Than S'mores recipe?

Uh.. Well... but... no one's gonna miss one little sip.

No one's gonna miss one little nibble.

Well, then I'm having a marshmallow.

No one will miss just one. Right?

Whew! We're here!

'Bout time.

Berry Beautiful Meadow, our old campground!

What a gorgeous spot!

Huh?!

Apple! Wow. You're really going to town.

The first part of assembling a tent is

to lay out all your equipment in a neat and orderly manner.

I'm so sorry, but this is the spot where we usually build the campfire.

It is?

And we set up all our sleeping bags just over there...

And our cooking equipment here, near the campfire.

Can I help you move your "set" over to the edge of the meadow?

That's okay, Strawberry. I want to keep it in a certain order,

so I'll do it myself. You guys go ahead, don't mind me...

Hey. What in the berry bitty world has happened to Orange, Cherry and Plum?

Maybe they got smart and went home?

Sourrrr...!

So, where's the marshmallows? I've got my stick. Let's get roastin'.

That's for after dinner.

And we can't start dinner until we find the other girls.

I'll go back down the trail and look for them, Strawberry.

Thanks, Sweet. I'll come with you.

(Panting)

Cherry!

Plum! Orange! Where've you been?

Are you all right?

(Gasping) So...sorry...Strawberry...

(Breathless) Long... story.

(Breathless) You wouldn't even (Inhale)...

Believe it.

Try me.

Well, I was just taking a little rest stop with Orange and Plum.

just minding our own business, not bothering a soul, when...

... all of a sudden...

Both(Eeek!)

Mutterin' Mushberries!

My backpack!

AllThe marshmallows!

Quick! Catch him!

Gotcha!

Orange tried to save our precious marshmallows.

Ahhh!

But suddenly, Orange ran out of tree.

(Gasp!)

Plum and I had to think fast.

She stuck a perfect landing.

(Giggle)How did you ever get the backpack, back?

Oh, yeah, we uh, made a trade with the bird,

Orange's almond for my backpack.

You mean there's not going to be any shaved almond for my S'more Than S'mores?

C'mon, is that what really made you late?

No. It's not. (Big inhale) Cherry's just trying to cover for me;

the truth is... it was all my fault!

It was...

The canteen of chocolate milk.

Like she said, we was 'bout halfway up the trace, restin' 'r dogs fer a spell...

Hey, now, Plum! Ain't that fer Strawburry's hot chocolate?

We're meant to save that fer 'round th' camp fire!

Agh! Dagnabbit, y'all are right! Must be off my rocker.

Then I up n' recollected I'd been hankern' to show the gals

a new dance routine I'd been workin' on.



(Snap!)

(Boink boink)

(Gasp!) Sizzlin' Sassafras!

(Boing boing)

Aw, blusteration. It went down a critter hole!

Boy howdy, we're in fer it now. That's Strawberry's hot chocolate!

Got to git it back!

We're with you, Partner.

Brisk up, Gals. Here goes nothin'.

So by gum, we clum down inta that thar hole.

Hold yer horses, now, where'd that canteen get to?

By all rights, should be right here!

(Strange noise) -All(Startled)

PlumWell, there we wuz, down a hole without a coil.

And then we heard somethin' that made us wish we wuz anywhere but there.

(Growl) All(Gasp)

Hey, now, that canteen is our'n, Buster!

Kindly hand it over, real friendly-like.



Gopher(Chitters)

Botheration!

Wull, now the hair's in the butter.

After that varmint!

Gopher(Chitters)

Easy, now, boy, easy...

Keep him in the corral.

Now don't git his dander up. I'm gonna...

He's on the prod, Plum. Ya best step lively!

And I leapt up on 'em. Never have you seen such a catawaumpus.

Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaa!!!

Ride 'em, Plum!

Stick to yer saddle!

Rein 'em in!

Giddyap, cowgirl!

WEEEE-YOOOOWWWWW!!!! HA!

Wull, I'm here to tell ya it was a rip-snortin' ride.

The varmint threw me, and was 'bout to head for the high horizon.



But... we made a fair shake in the end.

Whatta ya think, thar, partner?

(Slurp lick).

(Chuckle) That's okay, big fella, we luv yew too.

All(Laughing)

So... no almond shavings for my S'more Than S'mores?

C'mon. What really made you late?

Okay, okay, here's the deal. (Gasping) It was really well... all my fault.

The truth is...

I put it to you, Orange, might that be the very almond intended

for Sweet's S'more Than Smore recipe?

What? Why, indeed it 'tis. Oh, whatever was I thinking?

I shall "squirrel it away" as they say, until an appropriate occasion

calls forth the necessity to bring it out in the open, ey what?

Well said, Orange. Well said.

All(Gasps)

(Licking his lips)

I beg your pardon! Is that polite?

Cheeky fellow, ey what?

I say, fellow travellers, let's tarry no longer in this dreadful spot.

Off we go!

Beg pardon?

RUN!!!

OrangeI must confess, I ran like the very dickens. And who wouldn't,

being chivvied by a fiend, set on purloining Sweet's precious almond?

(Growls)

Away with you, you bandit!

I believe I have a strategy that I suspect might outwit this thieving rapscallion.

Have you? Do tell!

(Whispering)

(Gasp) I say, old girl, capital idea!

Take that, I tell you!

Take my hand!

Hand me your foot!

I say! You are pulling me in two!

OrangeI say! They were pulling me in two!

Both(Gasp!)

(Struggling chitter)

Look out! The blighter is making way for himself!

BothWhooaa!

OOOF!!.

HOOF!!.

WHOA!

OOOF!!.

(Doink doink)

Quick! Capture that almond!

Jolly well done, Orange!

Sweet will have her almond shavings in good order.

(Chitter)

Ohh... fiddlesticks.

All(Laughing)

You mean you really did lose the almond for my S'more Than S'mores?

All(Out of control laughter)

I don't get it. What's so funny?

Sweet. (Giggle) Why so serious?

Don't you like our tall tales?

What "tall tales?"

Wait a minute...(gasp). Oh, no! Sweet, you weren't there!

Wasn't where?



You went with Orange, and...

Oh, I'm sorry. Sweet.

It's something we always do for fun around the campfire.

We make up outrageous stories.



Nah, it's all just silly stuff. (Giggles)

Plum and Cherry and I'll get more kindling, since we were late

and couldn't help set up camp.

All(Giggles)

Ok, I'm dying to know. What really happened? What really took you so long?

Oh, Strawberry, I don't know. It's just too...

embarrassing.

C'mon.

Well.. -it's like this

You see...

We just stopped to take a break...

Now that looks like the best idea I've seen all day.

You said it.

Uh, guys? That isn't the chocolate milk for

the hot chocolate around the campfire tonight, is it?

Uh, and isn't that almond supposed to be

for Sweet's special S'more Than S'mores recipe?

Uh, oo, well, uh but.. N, no one's gonna miss just one little sip.

No one's gonna miss one little nibble.

Well, then I'm having a marshmallow.

No one will miss just one. Right?

Hey, check it. My new dance routine.

PlumWhoa!

(Doink)

(Gasp!)

(Gasps)

-Ughh -Oohh!

You. Are so busted.

No chocolate for Strawberry?

No marshmallows for Sweet's S'more Than S'mores?

I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.

We better run back to my store.

(Panting)

Hurry. Before someone sees us.

Can't find my keys! Oh, here. Hold this.

(Glug)

Aw, bitterberries. No marshmallows.

Check inside the storeroom...?

You got it...

(Clatter, crash)



...and I couldn't get it opened.

Hey! Get me out of here!

OrangeHold on, Plum!

We'll catch you. Here.

Whooaa!

(Crash)

(Groans)

Let's get outta here.

Got everything? Canteen.

Marshmallows. Check.

Where's the almond?

Inside on the counter.

Locked.

Keys?

Inside on the counter. Next to the almond.

Both(Groan)

Now whatta we do?

We gotta get back. It's getting late and they'll be worried. Sorry, Sweet.

You're going to have to do without the almond.

And so we ran back up here, as fast as we could.

(Giggling) That's the best tall tale ever! (Giggling)

But unfortunately, it's true.
