Whoa, whoa, comin' through!
[meows]
- On your left! - [purring]
Hot tray. Watch your back!
Aw, Custard, the leaves are falling!
Looks like Frightfall is almost here!
I can't wait to see what new adventures
we're about to "fall" into.
Get it? Fall?
'Cause the leaves?

There's no time for a peppy musical number!
I've arranged for The Berryworks
to supply all the food for The Frightfall Fun Fair,
and I am totally freaking out!
Please tell me we've got terrifying treats!
Uh, I don't want to brag,
but we really outdid ourselves this year.
Our food is fun, frightful, flantastic!
Bread Pudding is gonna be totally blown away.
The Extraordinary Berry is...
We know.
Strawberry Shortcake,
overachieving as usual.
But what about everyberry else?
Orange Blossom?
Grape, with a Scary-Berry twist.
I recreated the exact apple cider J. Quincy Cupcake served
at The Berryworks' first Fright Fall celebration.
The Cauldron Cup 3000!
Turns any drink into a spooky witch's brew.
[whistling kettle sounds]
[bubbling and boiling]
[explosion]
I can fix that.
Lime Chiffon, educational.
Lemon Meringue, explode-y.
Blueberry Muffin?
I've almost finished my Harvest Medley ice cream!
I just need inspiration for the topping.
[gasps]
A maple leaf. Of course!
Natural and nutritious.
Right!
Raspberry Tart?
I whipped up my award-winning tarte a la citrouille.
That is, pumpkin tart, but fancy.
[sighs]
I'd be jealous, too, if it weren't me.
Not bad.
"Not bad"?
These terrifying treats are terrific!
Fright Fall is almost here,
and everyberry is feeling that spooky, scary spirit!
[flatly] Everyberry but Huckleberry Pie.
Aah! Spiderwebs!
Aah! Pumpkins!
Aah! Lamppost!
You okay, Huck?
Sorry, Strawberry. I know you love Fright Fall.
Maybe I would too, if I were brave like you.
Well...
not everyberry can be brave like me.
You don't have to love spooky stuff
like ghosts, or monsters, or...
lampposts.
Aah!
I see a lot of standing around.
You berries got my food ready yet?
[grumbling] Oh... sprouts today.
No respect for hard work.
Yeesh.
Someberry buttered the wrong side of his biscuit.
Crusty Muffin.
That grump runs the fun fair.
Ironic, don't you think?
[corncob] He's not so bad once you get to know him.
You see the talking corncob too, right?
Good.
Last time I talked to a vegetable, things got weird.
Crusty Muffin is my uncle.
[all together] Aw!
But he's so grumpy, and you're so cute!
I get that a lot.
I'm Strawberry Shortcake!
This is Orange, Lemon, Lime,
and Blueberry.
[mechanism whirring]
I'm Candy Corn,
at least when I'm not Corny the Cob.
Whoa...
that's pretty cool.
Made it myself.
Been helping my Uncle with his fun fair
ever since he started it back in Niblet's Hollow.
Shut the stove door!
You're from Niblet's Hollow?
I'm from Berryville!
We're neighbors!
Oh!
Didn't expect to meet another country berry.
Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect
when Uncle Crusty said the fair was coming to Big Apple City.
She sounds like I did when I moved here,
and now this berry gets to help someberry else
fall in love with Big Apple City!
I know Big Apple City can seem loud and overwhelming,
but everyberry here loves celebrating the holidays
just like berries back home!
I'm sure there are new friends out there
waiting to enjoy your carnival!
'Sup, Spice Squad?
It's everyberry's fave fall friend,
Pumpkin Spice,
here with the deets on the Do's and Don't's
for fall in Big Apple City.
Today, I'm checking out the Fright Fall Fun Fair.
Is it spicy?
Or is it dicey?
Ooh, she seems nice.
Go say hi!
Uh...
Hmm.
Hey, sprouts!
- Corny the Cob here! - [hip bump]
[grunts] Uh! Oof!
Fright Fall Fun Fair?
Definitely dicey.
"Like" and subscribe for more hot tips,
and remember, love you, mean it, Spice Squad!
M'wah!
You didn't let her finish.
You barely even let her start!
[Candy] It's fine.
Right now, scary is trending,
not cute corn...
What is this, a log?
- [Candy] Cob! - Whatever.
If I show that on my channel, traffic goes way down.
I need spooky, scary, shocking!
If anything totes terrifying happens,
DM me. K? Bye!
[hatch opening]
Okay, that wasn't a great example,
but trust me,
everyberry else is super nice!
[Pieman shouting] This is an outrage!
Almost everyberry.
First, you wouldn't let me put up a booth at the fair.
Now you won't let me put up one measly sign?
At this fair, what I say goes!
The Berryworks is handling the food,
not you.
So hit the purple brick road, Pieman!
You think you can intimidate The Peculiar Purple Pieman?
[snarls]
Well... you can,
but I... will have my revenge!
[cackling menacingly]
Whoa... Ooh!
Ooh! Oh! Ow!
[laughing awkwardly]
There's always a few rottenberries
in every bunch,
but everyberry else will love the fair!
[Johnnycake Cobbler] Smell that lovely fresh fall air!
Who doesn't love a fun-filled fair?
Johnnycake Cobbler's Ring Toss Stand!
Very best in all the land!
You tryin' to cheat my customers?
I resent that accusation.
I'm the most truthful berry in the nation!
[clanking]
[chuckles nervously] Wow, is that the time?
I, uh...
[groans] Some days,
I just don't know if this fair is worth it,
but then I remember my sweet little Candy
loves this fair as much as I do,
and that makes all the difference.
Isn't that right?
You betcha, Uncle Crusty.
Hey!
Why aren't those booths set up?
Aw, you and your uncle are so sweet.
You know what? As your brand-new berry besties,
we are gonna make sure
your first Fright Fall Fun Fair in the big city is perfect!
Nothing's gonna get in our way.
No freaky fall weather,
no berries with bad attitudes,
not even a marauding monster could stop us!
This is gonna be the funnest fun fair
that ever... uh... funned!
- [cheering] Yes! - Yippee! -Yay!
"Funned" isn't a word.
You berries are so nice!
I bet we can make this a fun fair to remember! [giggles]
[all laughing together]
Oh, yeah.
[spooky music playing]
[power clanks off]
[quick snarl]
[low snarling]
[growling]
[smashing]
[gasps]
Hot cross buns!
What happened?
This is awful!
Oh, no, look!
Candy, I'm so sorr...
[guitar strumming]
Sorry. I'm a nervous strummer.
[clanking] Aah!
- Aah! - Nothin' to see here.
Just a couple of small repairs.
Everyberry go have fun.
Well, go on, now! Get!
I know I always have the most fun
when someberry orders me to do it!
Candy Corn, I'm so sorry.
I guess some of these cityberries don't want us around.
That does it!
Someberry trying to ruin the fair
is bad enough,
but making a sweet berry like Candy Corn
not feel welcome in Big Apple City?
Ooh, that really burns my bundt cake!
Don't go to any trouble.
We are going to every trouble!
I vow to you
that we won't stop till we find the culprit,
'cause that's what berry besties do!
So, what do we do, Shortcakes?
I did not think that far ahead!
[Lime Chiffon] Good thing I did.
[gasping] Ooh!
Wait, how... How did you change so fast?
Did you have that costume on you?
I've read enough Apricot Christie novels
to know that a good detective is always prepared
for a mystery to present itself.
[suspenseful musical flourish]
A good detective also supplies her own sound effects.
[recorded flourish]
First
we inspect the crime scene...
Huh... [thumps]
Sturdy.
Someberry would have to be very strong to break it.
Curious.
These look like claw marks.
- Curiouser. - [Orange Blossom] Ugh!
I've been slimed!
[sniffing]
Elderberry sauce?
Curiousest!
Did you say... "elderberry sauce"?
There was a story when I was growing up
about this monster who leaves a trail of elderberry sauce, and...
and...
and it's obviously not that!
[laughing nervously]
Is it hot in here?
Why are you still recording?
It's probably just someberries pulling a Fright Fall prank.
Mystery solved, you're welcome!
Totally!
Someberry must have snuck in after the fair closed.
It's definitely that and not a monster.
There's a monster now? [screams]
[clank]
Yeah, sorry, that's on me.
Tonight, we stake out the fair
and find out exactly who's behind this dastardly...
- [anxious guitar strumming] - Huck!
A stakeout?
Like... [gulps] ...in the dark?
[groaning]
I'll stay with Huckleberry.
Someberry should keep an eye on The Berryworks anyway.
Just... please stop strumming!
Fumbling around aimlessly in the dark
isn't really my thing.
[flatly] I'll stay too.
I can't take all this excitement.
Then it's settled.
Tonight, we commence Operation
"find the vandal berries who are definitely not a monster
and support our new friend, Candy Corn,
to show her life in the city is totally fine and not scary"!
Eh, I'm still workshopping mission names.
[together] Operation "Placeholder"!
[Raspberry] Tarte à la citrouille?
It's French, so you know it's good!
Does anyberry want a pumpkin tart?
Why is noberry stopping?
It's the vibe!
This monster thing is creeping berries out!
And he's not helping.
♪ Oh, life is nothing but endless fear ♪
♪ Terror and madness year after year... ♪
For the sake of everyberry's sanity,
let's figure this out!
What is it you don't like about Fright Fall?
The tone. The mood. The ambulance.
Are you trying to say "ambience"?
No, the ambulance!
I get scared, I fall and get hurt,
the ambulance comes and takes me away!
We'll unpack that later.
Right now, we just need to find something about Fright Fall
you love.
Not everything has to be scary!
It would be nice to not be scared.
You really think you can help him?
It's not like we're getting any customers
with him screaming all the time.
So, it's time for...
Fright Fall 101!
Welcome to your crash course in holiday self-expression!
You look amazing!
But what does this have to do with Fright Fall?
[chuckling] Hello!
Fright Fall? Costumes? Dressing up?
And your look doesn't need to be scary! See?
Honey Bee-lightly's dress from my fave movie,
"Breakfast at Mulberry's."
It's perfect. It's flawless.
It's me,
and I'm generously offering you
the use of my sacred costume trunk
to find the "you" you want to express!
[rummaging]
This isn't gonna work.
Trust me.
[Huck] I am...
[voice echoes spookily] Angry Eyebrows Huck!
[chuckling lightly]
That is technically barely a costume.
But wait, if I'm Angry Eyebrows Huck,
what happened to Regular Eyebrows Huck?
Where does the costume end and Huck begin?
Who even am I?
[sobbing dramatically]
I think the costume is giving him an existential crisis.
Awesome.
If we're gonna find whoever is behind this,
we should spread out to cover more ground.
I'll watch the entrance to the fair,
to spot anyberry trying to sneak in.
[Orange] Good thinking, Candy!
Everyberry else,
be stealthy, quick, and quiet.
We've got a bad berry to catch.
Good thing I made... The Grabber 3000!
[electric guitar flourish]
[wood splintering]
[distant dog barking]
[grabber retracting]
I-I can fix that.
[Custard meowing]
Huh...
Uh...
- [clanking] - Aah!
Kinda spooky, huh?
I mean, not for me.
I'm not scared.
Just checking on you, you know?
[Custard screeching]
Oh... [chuckling in relief]
Just a trash can.
Nothing to worry about.
- [creaking and splintering] - Aah!
[distant snarling]
What was that?
[all screaming]
[grabber cocking]
Very funny, Orange.
Making weird monster sounds to scare us?
No, seriously. I genuinely laughed.
That wasn't me!
And that wasn't monster.
Monsters talk more like...
[monstrous snarling]
Then who was it?
That sound could've come from anything.
The wind through the trees,
or that old creaky log,
or those red glowing eyes!
[low growling]
- Run. - [all screaming]
[monster snarling]
[tripping on a root]
This is not great.
[breathing hard]
[berries calling] Strawberry?
[voices echoing] Where are you?
This way! Hurry!
- This way! - [rustling]
I can't find you!
[breathing hard]
- [beast snarls] - [gasps]
[meowing]
Custard!
I've never been so happy to see you in all my life!
[distant snarling]
- [hisses] - Custard?
What's wrong?
- [gasps] - [Custard yowls]
[monster snarls]
[gasps]
- [Grabber unreeling] - [yelps]
Gotcha.
[snarling]
We're gonna need a bigger grabber.
[breathing hard]
- Oh! - Oof!
Where were you?
Are you all right?
We were so worried!
[breathing hard] We were...
- It was... - [Candy breathing hard]
Something just ran through the park!
Hmm...
It was... an it!
A giant it!
[gasps]
The Beast from Berry Bog...
Can someberry explain what is going on?
The Beast from Berry Bog was a Berryville myth.
I think we had it in Niblet's Hollow too.
"Beware The Beast of Berry Bog,
Who comes upon command,
To wander through blue mist and fog,
To spread fear throughout the land!
When elderberries crushed you spy,
Be careful where you tread,
The Beast of Berry Bog is nigh,
And you should get to bed!"
[anxious guitar strumming]
[stops abruptly]
Sorry.
I'll allow it.
If the beast is haunting the fun fair,
berries might be in danger!
Do you think Uncle Crusty will need to shut down?
We're not letting that happen.
We promised to make sure your fun fair was perfect,
and that's exactly what we're gonna do! Right, Shortcakes?
When I said nothing was gonna stop us,
not even a marauding monster,
I didn't think there would actually be a marauding monster!
But I don't want my friends to think I'm a scaredyberry,
so...
I can't wait to get back out there
and face that, uh...
big, monstrous, glowing-eyed beast.
We can take care of that thing no problem.
I don't know what we're worried about, 'cause it's so not a big deal at all!
Actually, it's a very big deal.
If word gets out that a beast from Berry Bog
is haunting the Fright Fall Fun Fair, it could cause a city-wide panic!
So the most important thing right now is that we don't tell anyberry else
until we have more information.
Got it?
Uh... Lime?
Aw, fiddle-faddle.
Breaking news from The Fright Fall Fun Fair!
The Beast of Berry Bog is loose!
What is the beast?
Why doesn't the fair want you to know about it?
Are you in danger?
I'm streaming live until I get the truth.
Love you, mean it, Spice Squad!
M'wah!
So much for keeping it quiet.
Everyberry in the city is watching.
[clip playing] The Beast of Berry Bog is loose!
[grumbling]
[sighing] Good...
If they stay away from the fair,
we don't have to worry about facing the beast.
Even though we totally want to save the fair,
and aren't even worried about stopping the beast, right?
What were we talking about again?
So there's regular Shortcakes...
then there's Shortcakes
after eating an entire espresso coffee cheesecake by herself,
and then there's this Shortcakes.
Something's up.
Okay, deep breaths.
[hyperventilating]
Just keep it together, Strawberry.
Keep it together.
Noberry will know that you're totally terrified
if you just keep... it... together!
Welcome, brand-new followers
to the source for all creature conspiracies!
Purple pies! Perfect for peak performance,
when running from mysterious monsters!
Johnnycake Cobbler's Monster-B-Gone!
No beast will harm you when you've got this on!
[crowd clamoring]
Might be better to shut this whole thing down.
Monsters at the fair... [groaning]
Why would a monster attack a fair?
[snaps fingers] How did that Berry Bog legend start again?
"Beware The Beast of Berry Bog,
Who comes upon command..."
"Upon command"!
Someberry summoned it,
and that means suspects!
Seriously,
how do you keep doing all that so fast?
Each of these berries has a clear motive
to summon the beast...
The Peculiar Purple Pieman.
When he wasn't allowed in the fair,
he was as nasty as his artificial pie filling.
Did he bake up this monstrous scheme?
Pumpkin Spice called the fair "dull."
Perhaps she thought a beast would spice up her feed.
Johnnycake Cobbler.
When the beast showed up to play,
he conveniently had Monster-B-Gone the next day.
Coincidence?
I say... no way!
And Crusty Muffin.
Uncle Crusty?
Sorry, Candy,
but he doesn't even seem to like the fair, or berries in general.
Maybe he's looking for an excuse to end it.
One of these berries definitely summoned the beast.
They're behind the attacks.
And if we find out who,
we can stop the beast before we have to see it.
Uh, which would be a shame,
because I definitely want to see that thing again.
When we do see it,
I'm working on a new and improved Monster Grabber 4000,
guaranteed to catch the beast!
[crashing nearby]
Let me guess. You can fix that.
What about Huck?
I think he might be a...
[whispering loudly] lost cause.
I heard that.
I wanted you to.
I'll be fine! If I close my eyes,
curl up in a ball, and hide in the corner.
I should be able to block out the seemingly endless number of horrors
from which there seems to be no escape.
[clanking] Ow.
I know how to get Huck into the Fright Fall spirit.
Normally, I wouldn't care,
but this time of year brings out my softer side.
[Sour Grapes] Welcome to Fright Fall 102,
the next level in your Fright Fall education.
Costumes are not the best thing about Fright Fall.
Uh, have you seen me in this costume?
I'm never taking it off!
The best part of Fright Fall is the tricks.
I'm going to dip your hands in these bowls.
You'll feel something gross and scary,
but that's the trick.
It's not what you think it is.
[nervously] Okay.
[Grapes] These are eyeballs.
- [gasps] - Don't freak.
They're peeled grapes.
[shuddering] Gross...
[Grapes] And these are maggots.
[laughs] A-ha! Noodles!
Ha! Let me try one.
- Aah! - [bowl smashes]
That bowl was empty.
But the vast emptiness is terrifying and soul-chilling.
Too real.
This got too real! [sobs]
[Bread Pudding groans]
Hope their investigation is going better than this.
[Lime Chiffon] This case was gonna be tougher to crack
than a carton of eggs.
The Pieman didn't appreciate the accusation.
He swears he wasn't anywhere near the park,
and if anyberry thought they saw him,
well, he's just got one of those faces.
Pumpkin Spice was in the park...
...but she had a very dramatic list of reasons it wasn't her...
...that she shared with all her followers.
They say "follow the money..."
Johnnycake Cobbler was definitely making money...
...but he was so busy making dough, he said we had to go.
Dead ends.
No answers.
We were getting more frustrated than Crusty Muffin...
[grumbling]
Who was still really crusty.
The beast's trail was as cold as an ice-cream sandwich,
and nothing was gonna melt it.
Ugh, it could be anyberry!
At this rate, we'll never figure it out!
You tried your best,
but there's no way anyberry's coming back to the fair
with a beast on the loose,
and if I'm being honest, I don't think they should.
If you're ever in Niblet's Hollow, drop me a line.
It was real nice meeting y'all.
On one hand, I feel horrible.
We promised Candy
we would help her have the best fun fair ever,
but on the other hand,
now I won't have to face The Beast of Berry Bog.
I feel so awful.
If only we could find the beast!
But we did our best,
and if Candy really wants to leave,
we should respect her decision.
There's nothing else we can do.
[Lemon Meringue] Oh, we can find it!
The new and improved Monster Grabber 4000!
- This thing is built to take down a beast! - [clanking]
[groans] Ugh!
Just when I think I'm out,
they pull me back in!
Okay, one, that's awesome.
Two, we still don't know how to find the beast.
Ho-ho, yeah, we do.
[activating mechanisms]
It comes complete with forensic scanners
that can isolate the molecular compound unique to the beast,
and follow any traces left in the atmosphere!
[groaning]
The machine can follow
the elderberry junk it leaves behind.
Oh!
- Gotcha. - Now I get it.
[Lemon] Oh, I've got a trail.
Follow me!
[sighs bravely]
[distant hooting]
[Strawberry shudders]
[Custard meows]
[branches crack and rustle]
[rustling]
Gulp!
[distant crow cawing]
- [wind rustles treetops] - [shudders fearfully]
[twig snaps]
- [shudders in fear] - You okay?
Totally!
I'm just so excited
to face this horrifying creature!
[laughing nervously]
Uh...
[snarling]
[thunderclap]
- [gasps in fright] - [beast snarls]
I can't do this!
I can't face The Beast of Berry Bog!
I'm sorry.
I'm... scared.
Like, really, really scared.

Now, follow me! Let's find that beast!
[distant howling]
[shudders] Aah!
Follow Lemon. Let's follow Lemon.
[mumbles] I'm not scared. No reason to be scared.
I'm not scared. I've never been so scared.
[sighs] We give up.
We tried everything.
Everything? Seriously.
We tried, like, two things.
What more could there possibly be?
Should we sing him a song about facing his fears or something?
Watch and learn.
[slams door open]
Everyberry has been treating you like a little sprout this whole time,
but do you know why we have an entire holiday
filled with scary things?
[clanking]
It's 'cause the world will always have scary things in it,
and you can either hide from it or deal with it.
That's what Fright Fall is all about...
facing your fears, even when you're afraid.
You're welcome.
Totally what I was gonna say next.
[Lemon] That's as far as the trail goes.
The beast must be in that pond?
So what exactly do we do now?
Go in after it?
- Lure it out? - With what?
A really good poem!
Who doesn't appreciate poetry?
Uh, that's weird.
The trail picks up on the other side of the pond.
It heads down into the Funnel Cake Station.
[beeps]
Aw, fiddle-faddle.
What is it?
I didn't really build the Monster Grabber 4000
to walk down stairs.
Why not?
How many monsters do you know
that use mass transit?
So we're gonna grab a monster
without our monster-grabber?
We'll be okay.
We can do this.
We've got each other!
What? We sang a whole song about it right over there.
I'm learning to grow as a berry!
[bats squeaking]
But also, like, please hold my hand.
[screaming]
Aw! It's sleeping.
I guess terrorizing berries can really take it out of ya.
What is it doing down here?
Maybe it just prefers dark solitary places?
I mean, same.
[low snarling]
[yowling]
Mew! Mew! Mew-mew!
Grr! Rrow! Meow!
What is it, Custard?
[snarling]
Oh, biscuits.
Maybe it just needs a hug?
[ferocious roaring]
[screaming in terror]
[Huck] Hey, Raspberry?
I just wanted to say thanks.
What you said made a lot of sense.
I know.
Next time I see something scary,
whatever it is, I'm gonna face it.
[distant screaming]
Save yourselves!
Run!
It's here!
Don't ask it for a hug!
[beast snarling]
[ferocious roaring]
Aah!
- [crowd screaming] - [roaring]
Get away from them, you beast!
[snarling]
[hands snapping]
Get everyberry to safety!
[beast snarling]
- [piece clattering] - [Strawberry] A button?
Someberry distract the beast!
This is my moment!
[strumming guitar]
Angry Eyebrows Huck is here.
Angry but facing the fear!
- Gotta say, it feels okay... - [boink]
I didn't realize how much the costume informed the attitude.
[snarling]
[electricity crackling]
Shortcakes, you did it!
I did?
I faced my fears!
I beat the beast!
Whoa, adrenaline rush!
I can feel my heart pounding behind my eyeballs!
[gears clanking and grinding]
Uh, I don't think monsters make noises like that.
Let's see what's really going on.
[hatch hissing open]
[all] Candy Corn?
You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you?
You just had to solve the mystery, didn't you?
Candy Corn?
You built the beast?
That's totally...
[Lemon] Amazing.
I was gonna say "horrible."
Oh, right, yeah, horrible.
Obviously.
But, like, in a very impressive way.
But why?
It doesn't make sense.
Yeah, you're so sweet.
No... I'm... not!
I love monsters and scary movies,
and things that are gross and creepy and sticky and icky,
but noberry wants to hear that
from little adorable Candy Corn!
You try being scary with a face like this!
Aw...
Oh, get over it already!
I knew as long as this fun fair was running,
I'd have to play the cute little mascot.
So I built the Beast of Berry Bog monster
to scare everyberry away.
Then Uncle Crusty would have to shut down the carnival,
and I would've gotten away with it, too,
if it hadn't have been for you bumbling berries!
Why didn't you just tell your uncle you didn't like being the mascot?
Uncle Crusty loves it when I play Corny.
What would he think of me if I told him I hated it?
You were afraid.
No!
Yeah.
Sometimes admitting you're afraid
is the scariest thing you can do,
but having someberry by your side helps.
Come on.
We'll tell your Uncle together.
Really?
After everything I did?
Told ya country berries had to stick together.
You were that afraid to tell me?
In her defense, you can be a little intimidating.
[growling]
Yup, there it is.
I love this fair,
but not nearly as much as I love my favorite niece.
You can always tell me anything.
Won't me make me love you any less.
Mystery of the mechanical monster, solved!
Things are always less scary
once you've uncovered what's really going on.
That's all very touching, but does this mean no more fair?
Because it was gonna be very good for business.
I think I have an idea.
Step right up,
if you dare,
to see our latest and greatest attraction,
The Beast From Berry Bog!
[ferocious snarling]
[gasps in fright]
[hatch hissing]
Ta-da!
[laughing in delight] Ha ha! Wow!
Berries are loving the new Beast of Berry Bog attraction!
Because let's face it,
a little scary can be a lot of fun.
A lot of scary...
can be really scary.
That's why it's good to have best friends by your side,
who will always be there to hold your hand.
So?
What is the Beast Hunter of Berryville up to today?
[laughing]
I think my beast-hunting days are behind me,
but our adventure did inspire my newest recipe.
Ta-da!
The Berry Bog Blondie!
[gasps in delight]
Oh, careful, Huck.
You might find this treat a little bit...
A-bup-bup-bup-bup!
I too have faced my fears, Strawberry.
I'm a changed berry.
Aah!
[clanging into lamppost]
Ow.
[sighs]
Really, Huckleberry?
[all laugh]
[chuckles] I wasn't really scared.
