RaspberryOoh, anything yet, Blueberry?

Nothing. Berryweb's still down,

...all over town.

Grumblin' Gooseberries, we're missing "Berry In-the-Know"!

Oh, forget it, show's almost over anyway.

(Computer starting up)

Oh, Look! It's back up!

So remember, fashionistas, just two weeks until the big event!

RaspberryWhat big event?

It's "Berry In The Know Fashion Talk Show's" first FASHION CONTEST!

BothA fashion contest! (Giggles)

Technology makes this live streaming

Berrynet show possible, so our theme is

Technology in Fashion!

BothTechnology.

That's right, technology. So enter today!

Until then, this is Mavis Maraschino reminding you

to ask yourselves... Are you... "Berry In the Know?"

(Schmoozy laughter)

What's the matter? You two're the fashion experts of

Berry Bitty City, you definitely have to enter!

We know fashion. But technology is not our area of expertise.

Now, wait, so what if you're techno-newbies? I just read a book that says

when you're a beginner, anything's possible

because you don't know what's impossible, It says right here,

"above all, you must keep your windows of creativity open."

(Wires untangling)

I think the windows are opening!

Where?

No, my windows of creativity!

I have an idea!

C'mon, Raspberry!

Thanks, Blueberry!

...Technology and crashin'?

No, technology and Fashion!

We have this great idea for a new kind of fashion show--

-Could you...?

Ooh! I could!

(Chewing)

And we want you to be the star!

Uh, sorry, girls, I'm a little distracted tonight.

Things've been crazy trying to run the cafe and the marketplace.

Today was the worst. The marketplace had a run on

rutabagas like you wouldn't believe!

Maybe you could tell me your idea tomorrow?

But this is an unbelievable first for fashion!

Here, let me help you. This idea is so, so...

Cutting edge!

Let me do that.

...Brilliant. It's brilliant!

(Struggling)

(Meow)

(Ooph)

I think you better tell me now.

So you want me to be your model in this Technology-In-Fashion contest,

with a video camera in my hair?

Exactly. Here. Look.

You'll be wearing a "haircam" that Lemon will make.

And a special skirt that Raspberry will make.

A skirt that's also a video screen!

Whatever the "haircam" films...?

...The video skirt shows.

And what the haircam films, will be you demonstrating

your favorite recipes using the high-tech gadgets in your kitchen!

Wow! That's the wildest tech-fashion idea I ever heard of!

You should definitely go with it...

(Giggles)

...But... I just don't see how I'm going to have time to be your model.

I wouldn't even have time to come to the fittings.

Uh..not when I'm running two businesses at the same time.

(Whispers)

Um, Strawberry?

What if you only had to worry about... one business?

Huh?

What if we run the cafe for you until the contest?

Then you'd have time to be our model.

Please, Strawberry.

In the name of Art... and Progress.

You think you could run the cafe?

Well - we'd do our beginners' best.

(Exhale) Okay. We'll give it a try.

(Cheers of excitement)

(Restaurant chatter)

Okay, (hee hee), Order of waffles, two smoothies... Oh,

who had the island surprise?

Uh...what's an island surprise? I guess it's a surprise. (Giggle)

(Blending)

(Chopping)

Oh...

Mmmmm.

Smoothies, smoothies... wait. Forgot the waffle.

RaspberryOkay

Whuh?? If the smoothies are in here, where's the waffle batter?

(Spit out)

Raspberry, don't panic!

I moved all my afternoon appointments to the morning

so I can take over for you at lunch.

Gotta go, I have to finish three pedicures,

three Berry Bitty Blowouts and three fresh 'n fragrant facials!

(Salon chatter)

Uh?

(Gasp)

Ohh!

Apron, order pad, good luck...

How'd it go?

Uh, you'll find out.

(Upset grumbling)

Oh!

Uh...

Eee!

Ooh!

That'll do it, Plum.

(Gasp!!)

Whoa!

Yiii!

Huh?

(Snoring and muttering in her sleep)

Ten orders of coconut souffle..!

Giant souffle!

coming to get me...

NOOOO!...

(Birds chirpping)

Raspberry-Hi -Hey

-...Lemon -...Raspberry...

Could you take the morning shift...

At the cafe today?

-I need to turn off my phone, and focus on my design.

BothTTYL!

Annnd... send!

(Sewing)

(Stomach growl)

(Sigh) That's what you get when you skip breakfast.

Oh, muffin crumbs... forgot to pack breakfast.

Hey... strawberries!

(Disappointed sigh) Not ripe.

There's got to be a ripe one around here somewhere....

(Giggles)

(CHOMP!!)

Mmmm! Mmmmm! Mmmmmm!

(Chomp)

Oh!?

Oof!

(Grrr..)

(Pushing efforts)

Ooof!

Huh?

Uh.

(Eeek, giggles)

BothIt's you!

(Gasp) Wait! What are you doing here?

Didn't you get my text?

No. Didn't you get my text?

Flyin' waffles!

...THE CAFE!!

Wait! (sniffing) Do you smell that?

(Sniffs) Yeah. Smells really good!

It's no one's fault, Sour. Things just happen.

If you had checked the air,

maybe things wouldna' "just happened."

I would have, if you hadn't insisted

on doing it yourself, silly.

I didn't.

But... you said you're the only one who knows how.

Well, I am. We got flat tires cuz you wanted to

drive through this turnip patch.

Raspberry & LemonStrawberry patch.

Who's that?

Oh, customers!

Okay! Customers! Sunshine! Sweetness! ...Smiles!

SourI'm smiling on the inside.

Good morning! Welcome to Sweet and Sour's Food Truck!

I'm Sweet, she's Sour. We're Sweet and Sour Grapes.

-We're twins! -But we're nothing alike.

May I offer you my whipped n' whirled peach parfait?

Well, thank y- (mouth full)...

MMM! That's... delicious!

If you want delicious, stuff your face with my curried cucumber canape.

Ohh!!

MMMmmmm!

Enjoy a persimmon hazelnut honey waffle!

Chew on this sun-dried tomato and chili crepe!

Bite-size berry brittle!

Diced dates á la Sour!

No!

Stop!

It's so good!

Which one?

It was the dates wasn't it?

I can't make up my mind... but one thing is certain...

You girls sure can cook!

Lemon!, What if we...(whispers)

So... I know we just met and we barely know you...

but how would you like a job?

Great, the Berrykins are on it;

they're going to take care of the food truck.

Do you think this is gonna work?

Piece of cake. I'll get them set up in the cafe

while you try your new haircam on Strawberry...

...then you can have her for your skirt fitting this afternoon.

Deal.

Okay, now donnnn't move...

Mmm...mmm..hm! Aaand Perfect!

We... are about to make fashion history.

(Spark flash)

(Gasp)

(Metal creak)

(Gasp!)

(Static electricity)

(Door chime)

Good afternoon, miss! Please have a seat.

Huh?

Annnd may I take your order?

Uhhhh....who... whoooo are--

No hurry, take your time to peruse our menu of delicious,

delectable and simply delightful dishes! I'll be back in a jiffy.

What'll it be?

Uh... someone already... wait, who--

What's with your hair?

Wuhh...?

Never mind. Taste can't be learned, but lucky for you,

you get to taste one of my, I mean...

(Sigh) our specials.

Today we have Sweet's Banana Buttersquash Bl-IIICK (I mean Bisque);

Sour's Salsify Sunflower Salad (mmm) it's a winner!;

and I don't know why I even mention this special,

the other chef made it...

but Sweet's Strawberry Fondue, or should I say

Fond-eeeeeuuwwww.

Oh, and I highly recommend my Spicy-Ricy Jalapeno Omelette

with Peanut Butter Chutney.

Uhhhhh...

Maybe if I go bake a cake and come back, you'll have made up your mind by then.

I'm so sorry...

I forgot to tell you the specials. I would recommend the Strawberry Fondue.

That's a real crowd pleaser...

(Dialing)

Hi Lemon, Raspberry. I was supposed to meet Strawberry for a fitting.

Aren't you finished yet with her hair?

Oh I'm finished alright. Finished with my haircam,

finished with technology, finished with this whole contest!

What are you talking about? Where's Strawberry?

At the marketplace. Said she had to go back to work.

Nah-ah. She's not, I mean, I'm at the marketplace and she's not.

Ohh, she must've meant her other place of business.

Hey, was she excited when you told her about the twins?

Lemon?

I thought you were going to tell her about the twins!

Oh!!

Oh!!

(Scream)

A pyramid...I've never served pyramids at my cafe--

Oh dear! Is there something wrong with your Papaya Pyramid?

(Ugh) If someone would just tell me. What is--

I totally understand, you needn't say another word,

I'll get you a nice Celery SweetSwirl,

one of my personal specialities.

Strawberry, we can explain-



I don't know who they are, I don't know where they came from,

I don't know what's going on, but..

I AM GOING TO FIND OUT!

No-no-no-no!

It's our fault.

We sort of...

Kind of...

Thought we would Well...

We didn't just think...

We actually went ahead and...

...Hired them.

Hired them? Them-whom? Whom...THEM?

Sweet and Sour. They're really good chefs.

...and they're twins (Giggle)

It's too sweet, Sweet.

Just give it a taste. It's way too salty.

We're making soup, not syrup!

They don't look so much like twins.

I don't think they want to.

(Sigh)

Let's talk.

Ladies, I don't know if now's the best time to try new chefs.

Especially with the dinner honoring

Princess Berrykin tonight.

(gasp)The dinner!

We'll make sure everything goes smooth as icing.

Smooth-um... smoother! Even.

I don't know about this...

We'll make it work, Strawberry.

Are you sure?

Promise.

Well... okay.

Oh, thank you, Strawberry.

Thank you!

I have to go check the marketplace.

Then, I'll be expecting you back at the salon, Lemon,

so you can do something about this.

About what...?

(Electrical zapping).

(Forced chuckling)

Ohhh, that! Sure-of course-no problem heh, heh!

Awww, what were we thinking?

Well, who knew they were so argumentative...?

No, I mean the contest, I mean everything. Oh,

I can't make a "haircam"...

I can't make a video skirt.

(Groan)

Whatever gave us the idea we could do this in the first place?

...Blueberry!

(New age music)

Breeeathe deeply... let the aromas of nature...

stimmmmulate your creative energies...

(sneeze)

Oh! What is that stuff?

Fizzleberry and nostrilla-ticklebinne.

They stimulate the sinuses and the senses. Nice, isn't it?

(Grumbling) Not really.

So! Let's try a word-association exercise to break down the walls

of rigid thinking and let those problem-solving creative ideas flow.

I'll say a word and you say the first word that pops into your mind.

We'll start with Lemon... Here we go.

Hairdo...?

expl*si*n

Fashion?

Failure.

Style.

Stale.

Um...I don't think this is working.

Oh, I'm sorry, Blueberry. It's not the exercise. It's me.

I'm just in a bad mood. Maybe you better continue without me.

Oh, Lemon, don't give up...

Everyone gets moody from time to time...

(Gasp)

Moody! That's it! I'll do mood nails instead of a haircam.

I'll design nails that change color

depending on your mood!

Yay! Great idea, Lemon!

But then... what'll we show on your video screen skirt?

I dunno, could we... prerecord something cool, and screen that on the skirt?

Then it wouldn't have to be live, you know,

we wouldn't... need a haircam.

Bouncin' berries, that's it!

Do you have any friend fragrance, um,

I mean scents that bring... Friendship? Harmony? A little peace?

I recommend... lemon verbena and skittermint.

Thanks!

Just in case...

(Giggle)

(Cheering!)

I'd like to share a few of my most pleasant memories

of our beloved Princess Berrykin.

A Princess who reigns with grace and wisdom. We all remember when--

SweetSour! Something's burning!

Sour(Gasp) MY CAKES!

(Clattering and crashing!)

(Exhale) Aw, great.

I'm sorry, Sour. Can I help you make some new ones?

Ohhh, so you can take credit for them, huh?

What? No!

Or maybe slip some vinegar into the mix so they'll think

your cakes are better than mine?

(Exhale) You're talking nonsense!

I'm talking deceit, Sweet.

Underhanded kitchen tricks from my own sister!

(Bang)

(Horrified gasp!) You almost hit me!

It was an accident.

An accident? I don't believe you.

That was, but this isn't.

(Splat)

Uh! My apron!

My apron, that you stole!

Oh really? Then if you are wearing mine, then you won't mind

if I put some of this parsley puff on my apron!

(Splat)

You call this a parsley puff? You, you... sous chef!

Sous chef! Oh!

Take that!!

Quick! Play something!

Girls! Girls! Breathe! Breathe!

Peace! Harmony! Friendship!

(Pie-splats)

(Yikes & yelps)

What in the berry bitty world...?!? Oh!!

(Horrified gasp!) The boss!

(Exhale)

(Tasting)

Mmm, aaah

Who made these icings?

...I did?

Together?

Of course not! Mine is the Glinty Minty Sparkle

And I made the Creamy Carnation Rose.

Mmmmm! I've never tasted anything so berry delicious!

Uh, must be mine

Oh here, try mine.

Mmmm. Mmmmmm.

Mmmmm. Ah! Mmmmmm.

That's it. They're both great on their own,

but mixed together? Oh wow...(giggle) divine!

...Really?

You know... If you two created recipes together,

your cooking would reach a whole new, fantastic level!

Us?

Cook something... together?

Well... I guess we could... try?

Great, cuz we have some cakes to ice.

Come on, I'll help you. Let's alternate each layer with both

your cakes and mix your icings, and we'll make one giant cake

for Princess Berrykin!

(Music)

Mmmm. I think I'm going to have another slice! (Giggles)

This is the best!

If you'll share some of your cooking secrets with me, you can stay.

Uh, you can have my old bedroom above the cafe.

Really?

But... you have to try and get along.

We may be expert chefs, but I'll admit, we aren't expert sisters.

(Giggle) I'm only asking you to do your best.

(Sigh) I think we can agree to that.

What do you think, Raspberry?

Should we give our tech-fashions another try?

Tech tomorrow. Tonight we eat!
