=== Disclaimer/Intro ===
* Disclaimer: The following presentation is rated for older audiences. While this retells the 2003 installment with expanded lore, new characters, episodes, and hopefully a proper finale, this is entirely fan made media. This series will also tackle many serious challenges, such as death, grief, trauma, puberty, true love, war, racism, terrorism, and mental disorders.
* (We fade in and the intro plays for the very first time)
* Narrator: What very few Christians seem to realize is that there's a world beyond human imagining, said world hopes to be a very popular one among many in the world of Christianity. For you see, God has what he considers a 100% Christian earth with all negatives diminished, an Earth that grows better every day under the guide of the many young souls sent by himself. God took the DNA of select deceased people and made the many children that would roam the lands. He also gave the kids excessive intelligence, giving them the powers to do anything with ease. He then sent these spirits to his Catholic planet of Strawberryland, hoping his proudest creation, who was one of these girls, who was deemed the world's alpha girl, will one day be the queen of the world. Get ready for the adventures of a life time and explore how everything strawberry-related became the biggest sensation of all, and how one girl had her life go from peaceful to an absolute party. Whether the event is going on an adventure, gaining new comrades, or stopping enemies, it's always a new adventure. This is, The True Story of Strawberry Shortcake.
=== God's New Idea/Creating Strawberryland ===
* (Upbeat music plays as different sugary sweets fly around in the night sky as the Narrator goes on.)
* Narrator: Hi there! How would you like to hear about a life changing legacy! Well today's your day, there's a world not so very far from our world, it's a very special sort of of place, a one of a kind and never ordinary kind of place where dreams come true and the inhabitants grow better everyday. I would describe it as the world as one country. You may not have heard about it, it was like our planet, but a whole lot better. (We cut to God's castle in the Kingdom of Heaven and see God himself looking out at a plan.)
=== Satan Finds Out/Danger in Purple ===
=== Freeing The Innocent/Creating the Kids ===
* Narrator: Okay. Uh, now we're gonna cover how they... uh toilet trained the three of them? Yeah... I'm gonna try to not go into too much detail here. Uh, depending on the time, the angels would take either one of the girls and Pineapple to the bathroom every hour on the hour, and have that kid sit for a few minutes. Even if that girl didn't go, they would praise her for trying. Somehow, for both girls, they were able to actually empty themselves the first time, and now that they had the right idea, they knew what to do, and they could even recognize the feeling that they needed to go. It took like a whole month, but now they could basically go successfully every time. (Pause) Glad that's over with.
=== Meet Gruffy/Welcome New Child ===
=== Baby Strawberry/The First Few Years ===
=== Lime Light ===
* Narrator: If we're gonna tie the series together we might as well flash onto this scene. (In the daycare Strawberry is heard babbling as she stacks blocks, when a toddler with a lime motif crawls up.)
* Lime Light: WHAT DAT?!
* Narrator: See that new girl in the nursery? She'll make a comeback in the future, but I'm not telling you when.
* Lime Light: (Giggling and pointing) I want!
* Strawberry Shortcake: Um, this one?
* Lime Light: (Clapping and giggling.) Uh-huh, uh-huh!
* Strawberry Shortcake: Hmmm, Welllll, okayyyyy. (Hands Lime the block she wants.) Here you go. (The tower falls and Lime laughs.)
* Cranberry Milkshake: (Pouts) Meanie!
* Daycare Angel: Oh, Cranberry. We all make mistakes. (Strawberry sighs. And the Angel notices Gruffy.) Ah, Gruffy, good to see you again.
* Gruffy: Why good afternoon your holiness, I have come to take Strawberry Shortcake and Cranberry Milkshake home.
* Daycare Angel: Ah, for a very demonic beast, you must be very gentle.
* Gruffy: My elders always said to never judge a book by it's cover.
* Strawberry Shortcake: Gwuffy! (Waddles over to the wolf and hugs him.)
* Cranberry Milkshake: (Giggles.) Gruffy's back! (Lime whimpers.)
* Gruffy: (Notices Lime is scared.) There is no need to fear me little one, my name is Gruffy. And I see you want to befriend my young ones, their names are Strawberry Shortcake and Cranberry Milkshake. Well, I don’t mind such a thing, you can enjoy their company all you want.
* Lime Light: Friend?
* Gruffy: Yes, they can be your friends. (Lime strokes Gruffy's nose. She and Strawberry rhen hug happily and we cut to thosw two and Cranberry running around a field and chasing a butterfly in the sunset.)
* Narrator: The three girls spent day after summery day, playing and laughing and laughing and playing. (In the middle of their play, the three girls fall.)
* Strawberry Shortcake: Aaah! (All three girls collide into each other with an "Oof!")
* Gruffy: (Runs over) You three alright?
* Strawberry Shortcake: (Notices a butterfly on her head.) Huh? Oooh.
* Lime Light: Oh, pretty!
* Strawberry Shortcake: Huh? (The three toddlers giggle and laugh)
* Guardian Angel: Isn’t this lovely?
* Gruffy: (Chuckles) How could I not agree? The beauty of close friends enjoying each other’s company is something the good book will always appreciate for the many long years that lie ahead of the happiness.
* Narrator: Well, it wasn't long after, but one day... (Gruffy walks across the fields and approaches a solemn angel.)
* Guardian Angel: Gruffy, I have some unfortunate news about Lime.
* Gruffy: (Nervously) Oh dear, it just can't be too soon. She has so much to live for.
* Guardian Angel: It's not that, I... I just found out that... Lime Light... she... has to …(She whispers into the wolf’s ear.)
* Gruffy: (His ears drop down.) Oh dear. Strawberry will be most upset by this. (He turns walks over to the three girls sitting and watching the sunset. He sighs before speaking again.) Girls, I received the news, and I do not believe it will be taken well by the three of you.
* All 3 toddlers: OHH. (They hug each other, sobbing and sniffling)
* Gruffy: Lime, you have made many memories that the two will remember. I wish you the best of luck in your new life, and may the good lord be on your side. Thank you for everything.
* Lime Light: (Sadly getting up.) Bye-bye, Strawberry
* Strawberry Shortcake: Bye-bye.
* Cranberry Milkshake: (Sadly) Bye Lime. (The toddlers part ways with Strawberry and Cranberry following Gruffy.)
* Gruffy: Girls, you aren't alone in this. I too am deeply disheartened by this sudden turn, but sometimes, the world can be turned upside down. We may be a one country world, but we have our hiccups every now and then. But you two still have me.
* Strawberry Shortcake: (Lightening up a bit) Really?
* Cranberry Milkshake: You will stay?
* Gruffy: (Assuring smile.) Why of course I will. We'll always be together. Let me tell you something that you'll benefit from. (Looks up at the sky.) Look at the stars. God and his family look down on us from those stars. And if you're ever feeling down or alone, just remember, that God will always be there to guide you. And so will I.

=== Gruffy's Passing/To Protect Our Baby Sister ===
* (The date is September 17th 1998, a sick Gruffy lies in his cave looking over a basket containing a newborn baby with orange hair.)
* Narrator: Then one fateful night, Gruffy felt weak. He felt tired. And it looked like he wouldn't make it.
* Gruffy: (To the angel.) I have one last request, tell the girls' friend Lime Light the unfortunate news, wherever she may have gone to years ago. I just hope that when my time comes that it doesn't hurt her too much.
* Angel of Souls: I promise. (Strawberry and Cranberry arrive in their night-robes and slippers.)
* Strawberry Shortcake: Gruffy? You wanted to see us?
* Gruffy: (Turns his head to look at the two girls.) Yes. Strawberry Shortcake, Cranberry Milkshake… it is with great sorrow that my time on this planet is nearing its end. I wish for two you to be at my side during my final moments.
* Strawberry Shortcake: (Taken aback.) O-of course.
* Cranberry Milkshake: (Trembling) Okay...
* Gruffy: (Tiredly.) I am very tired, and in a moment girls, I will sink into a deep sleep, and I will never wake up again. (Motions over to the baby.) But before you two go, here is your new sister, Apple Dumplin, she was born hours ago, she has the same parents as you. I want you girls to continue forward and care for this young soul.
* Cranberry Milkshake: (Worried.) Sure, anything for you. (Wraps her arm around Strawberry.)
* Gruffy: Yes Cranberry. I really hope you two find many caring friends as you can, and I hope you have many adventures you'll never forget.
* Strawberry Shortcake: (Tears brimming.) So do we Gruffy.
* Gruffy: I'll see you on the other side... (The two girls sit tearfully next to Gruffy, whose breath begins to slow down until he exhales his final breath. Tears pour down Strawberry's face as Cranberry embraces her.)
* Angel of Souls: (Solemnly.) I'm sorry girls. I'm so sorry... (Strawberry tearfully looks up as the angel hands her a rose, which she places next to the wolf. Cranberry takes the basket holding Apple Dumplin. The two girls leave the body. In the house, as they lay Apple Dumplin in her new crib. Strawberry looks up in the sky with tears in her eyes.)
* Cranberry Milkshake: I'll miss him too Strawberry, but I understand that it was his time. You still have me, and maybe one day, we'll find those friends he was talking about. Besides, he may be gone in the flesh, but not in spirit. Spirits last forever, and we need to protect our baby sister no matter what.
* Strawberry Shortcake: (Calming down.) Maybe you're right.
* Cranberry Milkshake: I am. Good night Strawberry.
* Strawberry Shortcake: Good night, Cranberry. (The two sisters hug, and then head to their bedrooms and we cut to the exterior of Strawberry's house, then we pan up to the night skies, where Gruffy begins his ascent into heaven before the episode fades out.)
* Narrator: We had a great first episode here, and this is only the start of a long journey.
