What're you guys doing?

A music track for Strawberry's birthday video.

I'm putting it together like a birthday memory album,

so Strawberry can post it on her Berry Best Bits page.

Huh.

Want to try one more before lunch?

(Giggling)

If we can do the narration without giggling this time...

(Rimshot)

All(Giggling)

(Giggle)

I'm sorry... every time I see that scene of me with the feathers...(giggles)

Ehem. Okay. Serious. Serious. (Exhale)

Let's roll one....

Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Memories video, take three... Rolling...

Really, I thought it would start just like any other day.

Because I'd forgotten what day it was.

But I was about to be reminded.

AllHAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYY!

(Wild cheering and giggling)

(Blowing party horns)

It began with breakfast in bed.

But that was only the start.

You see, this is what we do for each other on all our birthdays.

We try to give them their perfect day.

We have a holiday.

(Whoops & hollers, laughter and giggles)

(Whooping and cheering)

BlueberryHappy birthday, Strawberry!

Thanks, Blueberry!

StrawberryAnd that's how it was, this very special day.

Thanks to some very special friends.

But it wasn't over yet.

The day ended with a sleepover.

(Pillow fight giggles & shrieks)

(Giggling) Wh... which turned into (giggles)

a pillow fi... (giggles) fight...

(Giggles)

I knew it... every time we get to that scene, she loses it.

(P-TOO!)

(Hysterical laughter)

(Fast gliss)

(Rimshot)

Wish I could have a birthday like that. (Pffbt)

Mine are never fun.

How come?

Gotta share 'em with my sister, Sweet.

Just once, I wish I could have a birthday all my own.

But... I guess that's never, ever, never... gonna happen.

Uh, how come?

Oh. (Heh heh) Yeah. Cuz she's your twin.

Her birthday's always going to be... your birthday, too.

Wow, looks good! Thanks, Sour!

(Chomp) Oh, and please thank Sweet, too!

(Grunts)

StrawberryBut it wasn't over yet.

The day ended with a sleep over.

Oh, that's so cute!

Here comes the part where Strawberry kept cracking up...

Which turned into (hehe) a pillow fi... (giggling) -Sweet(Laughing)

Oh, hi, Sour.

Hi.

I would have cleaned all this up.

StrawberryIt was my day. It was our day.

It was the berry best of days.

Annnd... there. Saved into Strawberry's birthday memory album.

(Tsk) Awww, Apple, that is so sweet.

Sour, you gotta see--

-Seen it.

That was an incredible birthday you guys gave Strawberry.

We try to make everyone's birthday wishes come true.

And I happen to know two birthdays that are coming up...

Oh wow. You mean ours?

Thanks again for the lunch, Sour.

(Grunt)

You just talk to your sister, when she, uh... feels like talking again.

Figure out what you'd like to do for the day, and send out invitations.

We'll take care of the rest.

Really? I bet Sour would like to go trail riding, it's her favorite,

or I wonder if she'd want...--

Oh, I already know what Sour wants...

You do? What is it? Huh?

...Oh, she said all she wanted was for once to have a birthday all her own.

All(Gasps!)

...Her own?

Yuh-huh.

SweetWhen did she say that?

Today. She said she is sick n' tired of sharing her birthday every year. And...

Uh...Apple? Could you help me with this?

Yuh, hold on, Strawb', just want to (grunt)... ah there it is.

Did she say anything else?

Sure. Like, her dream of having her birthday all to herself is

never, ever, never, ever, never...hold on.

What was I saying?

Uh, helping me?--

"Never ever."

Yeah, never ever ever gonna happen cuz you're like twins

and your birthday'll forever be on the same day, kinda stuff.

All(Gasps!)

She seemed kinda sad about it.

Oh.

What's wrong with her?

Um...

Oh, Apple. Why did you tell her that?

What? ...What Sour said? Cuz... cuz she said it.

But...

She even sadder than Sour was!

Oh no. Is it cuz I told her what Sour said?

But... then why didn't she just say it was a secret?

Some things aren't meant to be repeated, even if they aren't an official secret.

But... but then... how're you supposed to know when it's okay

to repeat what you've heard and when it isn't okay?

Sometimes that's a tough one to answer.

Oh, I don't get it. I mean, I spent a whole month on Very Berry Island,

and everybody there tells everybody everything!

...Sour? Can I talk to you about your birthday?

You mean "our" birthday? I have this condition called

"twin sister," in case you hadn't noticed.

Not this year.

...What do you mean?

This year, I'm giving you an early birthday present.

(Groan) Pleeease don't let it be matching jumpsuits again....

No, no. My present to you this year, is a birthday all your own.

...Say that again?



Is this like that time you found "Ten-Thousand-And-One Knock-Knock Jokes"

on the Berryweb and thought they were so funny

you read 'em to me for eleven hours straight?

This is no joke. Your party. Your presents. Your birthday.

...F-f-ffff'r real?

For real.

YES!

(Squeals of excitement)

Sour(Shrieks and screams)

Oh, I've really sunk the ship now. Listen, they're screaming at each other.

All cuzza me and my loose lips.

'Morning, Orange!

Hey! Quick! Gotta mail something important here!

Special Delivery! Birthday's tomorrow! Invitations! Gotta go out!

Step on it!

Here! Here! Got 'em? Great!

Wait! Stop-stop! You forgot Orange!

My birthday. You're invited.

What's this...?

(Sewing machine)

Wow! Did you see all the activities Sour has planned for her birthday?

It's going to be bigger than Strawberry's.

It's going to be the biggest birthday in Berry Bitty City's history!

Where's Sweet's name?

Hey , Sweet, how come your name's not on here?

Sweet; Not on where?

On your birthday invitation?

What birthday invitation?

Yours?

This birthday invitation only has Sour on it.

That's because it's from Sour, not me.

That's my present to Sour this year, her own birthday, without me.

Oh, let me get you lemonade.

Her own day, her own party, her own presents.

Can you believe that?

What a sweet thing to do!

Looks like she's got a really fun day planned for you guys.

Well, fer you too, right?

Not exactly.

You mean she...--

-Well, she invited you, right?

No. She doesn't have to. It's her birthday, and I want her to have it her way.

Oh, there I go again...

Are you sure that's what you want?

SweetSure! It's my present to my sister.

Sweet, I just gotta say, what you're doing has to be

the most giving birthday present anyone has ever given.

(Giggles) Thanks, Strawberry.

See you later.

'Bye.

Aw, is that nice or what?

I vote "what." This is all my fault. If only I hadn't blabbed.

But Sweet wants to do it.

Sure, but only 'cause I spilled the cheese...

Spilled the ...cheese?

Yeah, you know, let the cat out of the hat...

Do you mean (giggle)...let the cat out of the bag?

Yeah, yeah. That's what Plum said.

And she's right. I guess.

Aw. In Berry Balmy Bayou they say "Let the nuts out of the shell.

"Hard to keep these different customs straight.

Well that's all water under the bri--

-Chimney

Bridge?

On Very Berry Island they say "chimney."

It's just an expression.

Well, I'm not expressing myself ever again...

I just get everyone in trouble n' make 'em feel bad.

Now c'mon. Let's think of something fun like...

all the things Sour has planned for tomorrow.

Let's see the invitation?

Ehhh...

What invitation?

The one you're... (giggle) holding, um...

Well... What if I was invited but you weren't, and then I tell you

and you find out... oh busted bumpers, you see what I mean?

But I was invited. That's how I know what the...

item is... that you're hiding behind your back.

Apple, it's okay to show me.

Y'sure...?

Look at all the fun things we're going to do...!

Without Sweet, thanks to me.

AllHappy Birthdayyyyyy!

(Wild cheering and giggling)

(Laughter and giggles)

I WON! I WON! (Giggling).

I WON! I WON! (Giggling).

Hey, you made me bok choy n' mustard! My favorite!

Your birthday should have all your favorite things, and be perfect!

Is something wrong, Sour?

Uh, no.

This is just... Everything is just... perfect.

SourNo.

No. No.

Uh-uh.

No.

Ummmm....

Nah.

No. Uh-uh.

No.

SourNo. No. Nooope.

No.

Sorry.

No.

Apple(Panting)

Strawberry! Where's Strawberry!

Oh there you are...

WE GOT A PROBLEM. THE BIRTHDAY'S GOING BAD.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

UHHHEHHHH HARD TO SAY. IT'S LESS OF A "WHAT" N' MORE A "WHO."

Oh, uh-uh, WHO'S THE PROBLEM?

THAT'S WHAT'S HARD TO SAY.

WHY ?

'CAUSE IF I TELL YOU, I MIGHT GET SOMEONE IN TROUBLE.

WHO?

SOUR!

(Gasp) Eee! I let the cheese out of the bag. I mean I spilled the cat!

Apple, I think it's okay for you to tell me.

(Sigh) Sour isn't having a good time. The more we do for her,

the more unhappy she gets. Something's wrong,

but none of us can figure out what!

Uh, oh. Sweet made me promise to make Sour's birthday perfect.

I'm glad you told me, Apple. Time to call for reinforcements.

(Whew!)

(Hup hup)

(Splat)

BerrykinsTa da!

(Giggling)

PlumNice idea!

BlueberryBrilliant, Strawberry!

Sweet, have you ever seen anything so hysterical?...

Sweet?

BothUhhh You didn't invite her.

Uh, I meant Swuuuhtrawberry..have you ever seen anything... did I say?

(Giggle) I meant Strawberry.

Did I say Sweet?

(Giggling)

Whoahhh... easy, boy.

Riding's your favorite sport, right?

Huh? Oh. Yeah.

Fun...

Whoahh...

Doesn't look like you're having fun.

No, it's... been great, I just... (sigh)

Something's missing.

But I think I know how to fix it.

Can you help me with something back at the cafe?

Sure!

Giddy up, let's go!

C'mon, boy!

Are you going?

Aw, I'm sorry, Sweet, this is awfully... awkward.

I looked at the time, and... I gotta go change for... you know...

Sour's birthday party.

Plum, it's okay! Go! Go! Have fun! I'm fine! I'm enjoying myself here.

(Grunt) I'm sorry. But I, I have to say it.

Say what?

Well, I know I shouldn't say it, cuz it's your sister and all, but I.... no,

I've got to get it off my chest, I mean what sister doesn't invite a sister

to a sister's birthday party on a sister's birthday?

It's... It's just wrong, that's all!

It, it's just... oh, I don't get it, it's, it's ....NOT NICE!

Plum, I am absolutely fine with it. It was my idea.

How often do you get the opportunity to give someone

what they truly want for their birthday?

And like you said...she's my sister

and her having a perfect birthday means everything to me.

(Sniffle)

You're amazing. Being so... sweet, I just--

-You go get changed. I'll finish my Kiwi smoothie.

Okay, but I still feel bad leaving you here...

Sweet! Sweet! Oh, good, Strawberry said you'd prob'ly be here.

Hi, Plum.

Okay, so here's the deal.

Uhhhh....

What is it?

Apple, what is it?

Ahhh-ehhhmmm Strawberry told me to tell you something.

Ehhhhhaaand to not tell you something else.

Uh-huh? ...So?

Buhhhht, I'm not so sure now which part is which.

There is definitely a possibility here that I could spill,

let, blab...huhhh wreck everything.

Is the right "which" part abouuuut...

...the cafe?

(Uhh...)

Is it abouuuut... the next travel report for your Berryweb page?

(Hmpf)

Well I didn't know, thought it was worth a guess...

Is it about... my sister's birthday?

(Yelp) That's IT! THAT'S what I'm supposed to tell you!

You, Sweet, are cordially invited to Sour's Birthday Party, at the cafe.

BUT I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING ELSE!

My lips are sunk, I mean sealed.

Not another word, not a single word! I'm not putting my foot near my mouth ever.

Not blabbing anything, not getting anyone in any trouble

which is why you won't hear a word from me, not a single word....

(Ooohhhs and aawww's)

You guys! What is this?

Uh ...Birthday party decorations?

Well, yeah, but they're my favorite color, not Sour's...

(Exhale) Guys!

This isn't the music she likes. We gotta change it.

Wait. Want to cut the cake?

Sour's the birthday girl... she gets to do that.

Will you do it, Sweet?

Oh, Sour. Happy Birthday!

Okay. I'll do it..if you want me to.

Uh-oh. This is Angel's Food.

Sour doesn't like this kind of cake. It's my favorite.

Because it's your party.

I'm giving your birthday back to you.

Everybody did wonderful things to make my birthday perfect, but...

something was missing. It was my sister.

Huh, I guess it wasn't a birthday without you.

There's still plenty of birthday left today. Let's share it together.

AllHAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET AND SOUR!
