=== Recap/The Job Search/Train Ride ===
* Narrator: Last time, we shied away from the main part of True Story of Strawberry Shortcake. Rambo is a ram, who has issues, joins a rehab and meets a rather unusual gang of animals. What's causing Rambo's incidents? A deer named Gerald. Rambo was rather curious about the ranch so with Peck and Stud, he went out to meet the spirit of Senor Mula, an old mule who once roamed the ranch. After catching a group of outlaws stealing the ranch's most prized trophy, Rambo led an army to take back what was stolen from them! The power of the animals was able to pay off, and the ranch's most beloved possession was soon home!
* TBA
* Narrator: Before we begin, I would like to introduce you to someone. We'll call him the balladeer.
* Balladeer: Thanks for the introduction. I'm so ecstatic to be here today!
=== The Berry Prairie Dude Ranch/Meet The Angry Animals ===
* Narrator: And eventually, they did arrive at their destination. (We cut to the ranch, Strawberry and Angel head up to the entrance, Pork gasps with delight upon seeing them)
* Pork: Guys! They're here! They're here! Let's go guys! (His brothers rejoice and Rambo turns his head towards it.)
* Rambo: (surprised) Already? Looks like we're getting started! (The other animals chatter excitedly and assemble as Strawberry and Angel approach the main area, Annie comes out of the house.)
* Annie Oatmeal: Hello! I'm Annie Oatmeal! (The opens the door and a silver angel flies around before touching down next to Annie.)
* Power Ent: (Lands next to Annie.) And it is I, the almighty Powerfully Angelic Entity, God's most unique angel!
* Annie Oatmeal: (Giggles) You can call him Ent for short, anyways, welcome to the Berry Prairie Dude Ranch!
* Power Ent: I've been helping Annie since she was ten, and we've grown pretty close!
* Annie Oatmeal: You two must be here about the job. (shakes Strawberry's hand)
* Strawberry Shortcake: I'm Strawberry Shortcake and this is--
* Angel Cake: (shakes Annie's hand) Angel Cake Christ! And may I say, it's a pleasure to meet the two of you, Miss Annie and Mister Ent!
* Power Ent: Hey! I'm an angel, you're an angel! We're both angels! And you’re the daughter of Jesus! (The Piglets exclaim at the sight of seeing the daughter of Christ)
* Angel Cake: That’s so cool! So when will you two start the interviews?
* Power Ent: What do you think Annie?
* Annie Oatmeal: Well, how about now! Who goes first?
* Strawberry Shortcake: You go ahead, Angel Cake.
* Angel Cake: Well, okay!
* Power Ent: Alright then! Come with us! (Angel follows him and Annie to the interview with Strawberry watching.)
* Rambo: They won't be out for a while. You might as well get to know us! I'm Rambo, leader of a group called the Angry Animals... (The Piglets stack themselves on one another) And those are the Piglets.
* Pork: I'm Pork...
* Ham: Name's Ham!
* Bacon: And I'm Bacon!
* Strawberry Shortcake: Who'd name them that?
* Rambo: Trust me, I’ve heard crazier name decisions. This next guy you won't be disappointed about, watch what he can do. (Walks over to Peck's fence post and taps it with his hoof, which awakens the rooster, who speeds over to a pond where he dunks his face in before knocking and apple down from one of the trees in the orchard and pecking it at full speed, he then rushes past a tan bull with horns, making him roar before rushing over to a gaggle of geese.)
* Peck: Left shoulder hut, that’s your right! (He then zooms over to Rambo, stopping right next to him) Hi there how's it going you're looking kind of sweet my name's Peck and honestly it's a heart stopping sensation to see ya!
*Strawberry Shortcake: Same with you! How fast were you going?
*Peck: About faster than a blink, and I could beat time itself in any time of race.
*Strawberry Shortcake: Berry cool!) Points to the blue horse and red cow behind the field) Who are these two?
*Stud: Talkin' to me? I'm Stud, and this is Maria! Stud, Maria, this is Strawberry Shortcake.
*Maria: Hi there! It sure is great to meet you.
*Rambo: We got quite the gang, but that's not all of us. (A cyan duck comes boomeranging in.)
*Dan: Why hello there! My name's Dan and I'm really good at this! (Jumps into the air and spins like a boomerang before landing in front of Strawberry.)
*Rambo: Markus is the biggest member right now. He normally keeps to himself, but he's got a big heart.
*Markus: That's right, as long as you're doing good, then I'm more than fine. (A brown puppy comes bounding around the corner and leaps about.)
*Rambo: Chaos lives up to his name.
*Chaos: I sure do!
*Rambo: There's no stopping him. You gotta wait until he tires out, but his spirits are great when all is right.
*Chaos: Here comes the zoom! (Laughs as he runs into the pasture.)
*Rambo: (Noticing a black sheep with white wool.) Sarah! How have you been!
*Sarah: It's been great Rambo! I think it's gonna be a good ol' time here! (Nuzzles him.)
*Rambo: We've only just started dating, if you can even consider it that. We're usually always here on the ranch.
*Peck: (Zooms over to a light orange cat.) And let's not forget about Eva, and she's known for stunts like you've never seen before.
*Eva: Watch this you guys! (She gets a running start and leaps over a fence before looping around and landing on the grass much to the surprise of the others.)
*Rambo: (Seeing a deer running up to the ranch's sign and over to the rest.) Gerald and I have an... interesting history.
*Gerald: How's it going guys? I'm fine as always if you ask me.
*Peck: You're not gonna believe this! The daughter of Jesus is being interviewed right now!
*Gerald: Who again? (A crimson fox peeks out from behind a barrel.)
*Adeline: Did someone say Jesus?! (Turns to a white goat.)
*Sydney: You heard him. Angel Cake Christ herself is here! Isn't that cool! (A light gray sheep runs into the scene.)
*Reina: Back up! Can't miss the daughter of Christ!
=== The Tour/Down On The Ranch ===
=== Meet The Cuke Boys/Forming The Teams/Chili Cook Off & Watermelon Kiss Falls In Love ===
* (Begin Song: Good Ol' Boys)
* Just the good ol' boys,
* Never meanin' no harm,
* Beats all you never saw, 
* Been in trouble with the law 
* Since the day they was born.
* Straight'nin' the curves,
* Flat'nin' the hills.
* Someday the mountain might get 'em, 
* But the law never will.
* Makin' their way,
* The only way they know how,
* That's just a little bit more 
* Than the law will allow.
* Just the good ol' boys,
* Wouldn't change if they could,
* Fightin' the system like a two modern day Robin Hood.
* (End Song)
* Balladeer: I know we could've introduced these two earlier, but better late than never. These are the Cuke Brothers. Beaugarden Cuke, and Lucas, otherwise known as Leavenworth Cuke. They've been part of the ranch for quite a long time. Actually a few years before Rambo.
* Power Ent: (He and Annie finish looking over the checklist) Alright! That's everyone! Lucas, you lead Strawberry's team to their bunkhouse, Beau, you lead Angel's.
* Banana Candy: (Turns towards Tangerina Torta and whispers) Psst, Tangerina. We might be on different teams, but I wanted to wish you good luck on the contest.
* Tangerina Torta: (whispers while blushing) Thanks Banana, good luck to you as well. (The two hug each other, which Rambo's ears pick up though when he looks over to the teams, he sees nothing.)
* Rambo: Did you guys hear something? (His group looks around.)
* Peck: Yeah I think I heard something that I'd think would never be heard here and... (Silence, then acting like he's fine.) Maybe not. (Turns to the groups.) Yeah, it's nothing, you can go on. (The Cuke brothers lead the two teams to their bunkhouses.)
* 
=== Have A Little Faith In Yourself/Rambo's Backstory ===
=== A Horse With Two Rear Ends/The Ent's Feelings For Annie ===
* Cranberry Clover: Plum, Lemon, True Blue; this is the first time I've seen a horse with two rear ends!
* Gerald: (To the others) You know what’d be funnier guys? If he said that Angel Cake had the capability of a horse’s rear end. So if she has to go to the bathroom, then what's going to happen? (After a second, the guys laugh again.)
* Sydney: (Rolls her eyes with a sigh) Boys...
=== Nonexistent Dream/The Ent Becomes Suspicious ===
* Narrator: So you know how your parents tell you to say no to suspicious substances? Well I'm sure the person who made the following sequence was on something, and regardless if Plum was or wasn't on anything in this scene, it's not gonna be great. You have been warned. Good luck. (The dream sequence begins as we see the main five Angry Animals frolicking across the field.) 
* Rambo: Man, today is such a beautiful day isn't it?
* Peck: (Zooms in) Yeah it sure is?
* Power Ent: (Lands in on the scene) That's what I was gonna say!
* Rambo: Did you guys notice that Plum's been... wasted.
* Power Ent: Huh? I never noticed myself- (Suddenly begins seizing up, concerning the Piglets)
* Stud: Uh, Ent, are you alright?
* Maria: I don't know if he is, but it can't be whatever's in the water.
* Plum Puddin': (Blushing) You helped me to have faith in myself... and you knew I could do it... and you're just... so... beautiful... that I want to feel your lips on mine...
* Annie Oatmeal: (Sheepishly) Aww... it's always nice to help others, especially you! Why do you say that?
* Rambo: (As most of the other Angry Animals circle the Ent, who isn't snapping out of it.) Ent, you gotta stop... (The other animals begin trying to get the Ent to snap out of this mysterious effect.)
* Gerald: (off-screen) What is going on over there?!
* Chaos: (Appears in front of the camera) You know we should, we should, you should probably go ahead and shut that off. (The dream ends with static.
* Narrator: What the blazes was that?
* Balladeer: I don't know but I definitely won't be getting that out of my head.
* Narrator: I'm so glad you sympathize with me.
* Balladeer: Why would I not?
* Narrator: Well apart from that, it seemed like things could run smoothly on the third day. Also, why are we calling this a "nonexistent dream" when some guy who's laughing his behind off clearly wrote the dream out?!
* Balladeer: Just some people trying to make a fool out of you, which I wouldn’t do. I've seen much crazier things. But if it makes you feel better, I asked a friend to make a copy that cuts off at the most shocking part. That's what you witnessed.
* Narrator: What would I be doing without you?
* Eva: (Walking up to Peck) You're up early... You alright?
* Peck: (Smirks) Yeah, what makes you think I'm not
* Eva: You look like you saw something unusual.
* Peck: Eva, I heard Plum talking in her sleep and she said... I'll tell you later. (Zooms off)
* Power Ent: (Lands in front of Eva) Hey sleepyhead, you look like you saw something you shouldn't have seen.
* Eva: Peck saw something rather stunning.
* Power Ent: Gonna tell me or...
* Eva: Maybe... maybe not...
* Power Ent: Alright, keep your secrets.
* TBA
* (The Ent flies in, looking for Annie, who comes out of the bathroom.)
* Power Ent: (Relieved) There you are Annie! I was looking for you! I've been waiting to speak to you!
* Annie Oatmeal: (Concerned) What's wrong Ent?
* Power Ent: There is a LOT I have to get off my chest and I mean a lot.
* Annie Oatmeal: I know how you feel, but what is it that’s bothering you?
* Power Ent: First off, I was speaking with Rambo, and he told me that Peck thinks there's something between you and Plum, which I think is obviously one of the biggest lies yet. From what I hear, this was because Peck heard Plum talking in her sleep before the sun rose. And it gets worse when it comes to Plum: I’m starting to lose faith in her.
* Annie Oatmeal: I'm not sure how he heard that, but what makes you think you're losing faith.
* Power Ent: The girls have been pushing her buttons since day one.
* Annie Oatmeal: I get she is one of the more intelligent members, but even she can make mistakes.
* Power Ent: I can’t deny that.
* Annie Oatmeal: And about what you said about Plum being in love with me... I don't know what made her think that, but I would say that it's not the case, because nothing can top our bond, now come on! The day's not over yet! (Walks off while the Ent floats where is is. Annie turns back and blushes at the Ent.)
* Power Ent: (To himself) Still got a chance. You know you'll get her one day. (Rambo gives a sigh of relief.)
* Rambo: Welp, we should have until at least tomorrow to make our next move.
* Sarah: And I'll be there to help you keep things in order! (She nuzzles Rambo, who returns the favor)
=== Lemon Meringue's Guilt/Badmouthing Plum ===
=== Rambo’s Motivational Speech/The Piglets' Vow ===
=== Sarah Reassures Rambo/Won't Back Down ===
* Sarah: Rambo... you hardly spoke today.
=== The Animals Learn the Truth & The Ent Apologizes to Annie and Plum ===
* Gerald: Watch the experts at work. We'll have an answer before you know it! (A montage begins with the animals, excluding Rambo, Maria, Markus, Sarah, and Reina trying to make Plum and Annie admit to having feelings for each other, with each attempt failing hilariously.)
* Rambo: (At the end of the montage.) Everybody stop it!
* Sarah: Well it's not the craziest thing to have happened so far.
* Power Ent: I've been on their case since this began.
* Rambo: (Calls out to the others.) Guys, listen here. (The other animals turn to Rambo.) I don't know what you all were doing, but I doubt that Annie and Plum even had feelings for each other to begin with.
* Sarah: I'm with him on this.
* Pork: If Rambo says it, then he must be right. (His brothers nod.)
* Power Ent: I'll sort this out when I get both girls in the same spot. (Annie and Plum approach the Ent from different sides)
* Plum Puddin: You wanted to speak to the two of us Ent?
* Annie Oatmeal: Well he did say it was it was important.
* Power Ent: Anyways, Rambo said that Peck claims he heard Plum talking in her sleep the other morning, and from what he heard, he thinks she is in love with you, which I think is plausible in my mind.
* Plum Puddin': That was a dream I was having because of my subconscious crush on Annie.
* Power Ent: Alright, and also, I'm sorry about believing you two were meant for each other, I really thought....
* Annie Oatmeal: I understand... I would say we're extremely close friends, just short of romantic.
* Plum Puddin': And I'm happy you two look out for me!
* Power Ent: Thank the lord for that, I was worried that it would interfere with something I've been waiting to tell you... and I'm not ready.
* Annie Oatmeal: Well, if you ever find the confidence to, then I'll be ready to listen. (She hugs the Ent before both she and Plum hug each other and depart.)
=== Senor Mula Speaks to Annie ===
* Narrator: Now that the Ent had finally found out the truth about Annie and Plum's interactions, it felt like finally getting the scratch on your back you could never get at first. (Annie looks into the sunset, smiling to herself when the wind almost blows her hat off.)
* Annie Oatmeal: (Turning back.) Who's there? (Gray hooves of an unknown beast tread towards her. Annie turns to see the ghost of an old mule.) Senor Mula?
* Senor Mula: Annie, my child, you have done wonders for this ranch for the past six years. I knew that God would be a great influence. He helped you to have faith in yourself. But the interactions between you and a familiar someone will soon advance to higher grounds.
* Annie Oatmeal: (Sheepishly) Aww... it's always nice to help others? Why do you say that?
* Senor Mula: About the familiar someone? Ah well you won't know until you realize it. But when it does happen, you won't regret it. (Begins to fade out.)
=== The Trail Ride/Peppercorn Patch ===
=== Rambo Regains His Confidence/The Piglets to The Rescue ===
* (Rambo glances at the newspaper article about his brave rescue of the ranch trophy, which turns something on in his brain. His despair fades away, and with his newfound confidence, he gets up and heads out of his stable. He kicks open the door to the barn and heads over to the prized pasture where he calls over his friends with a low bleat.)
=== Giddy Up/The Trophy Is Awarded ===
=== The Ent Reveals His Secret ===
* Power Ent: Well, it seems like we had quite the success!
* Annie Oatmeal: Oh we sure did!
* Power Ent: And not only that, we helped Plum to have faith in herself, and I knew she could do it... and there’s something I need to tell you.
* Annie Oatmeal: (Sheepishly) Aww... it's always nice to help others, especially you! Why do you say that?
* Power Ent: About what I need to tell you? (Annie nods.) So... ever since we met six years ago, when I saw and heard your heartwarming voice, majestic hair, and adorable face, I started having this… feeling. I started believing that there was something about you, something that made you stand out among the others.
* Annie Oatmeal: What was it?
* Power Ent: It was this afternoon, when the answer came to me, and I finally knew what I was feeling. And it's because of what I've been waiting to tell you ever since the competition started, and from the looks of the current situation, it’s now or never, so here it goes. Not only are you, Annie Oatmeal, the most beautiful cowgirl that a male angel like myself could lay his eyes upon, you are also are the only true love of my life. And you know that with this statement being made, it is to be considered a beloved honor, that I wish to spend the rest of my days with you. (Upon hearing "true love of my life" a smile forms on Annie's face before she covers her mouth and her eyes begin to tear up.)
* Annie Oatmeal: (Smiling through her tears) Do you… really mean that?!
*Power Ent: I’d never lie about things like that! But all this does it beg another question, and what I want to ask you is… do you love me as much as I do? (A single tear rolls down Annie's cheek, which she wipes away.)
*Annie Oatmeal: (Blushing a bit as she rubs her eyes dry before she finally gives her answer.) You know, to be honest, I never knew you felt that way about me! I really appreciate having you help me out, and believe it or not, I actually feel the same way about you, so what else could I say except... yes! I wouldn’t have known anything about this ranch if it weren’t for your leadership, your strategy, and most of all, your charming personality! I owe you a huge thank you for helping me out for the past six years, and I’ll always have faith in ya! There's something else I want to tell you: for someone who's always able to live up to his title as a Powerfully Angelic Entity, I love you too... (She and the Ent look into each others eyes before Annie abruptly pulls the Ent into a hug while being careful to not crush his wings, and kisses him on the lips before letting go of him, leaving him to float completely still in surprise.) I’m gonna head down to the main area. (Walks away, leaving the Ent, still floating in his spot.)
*Power Ent: (surprised) I've done it. (Rambo watches with wide eyes)
*Rambo: (surprised) He's done it...
*Power Ent: I don’t believe it…
* Rambo: (surprised) Guys, he actually told her...
* The Piglets: (enthusiastically) He's done it!
*Power Ent: I don’t believe it… She likes me! She likes me! (Flies around excitedly) Oh man I never thought this would happen!
* Peck: (Triumphantly as the others begin to exclaim) She loves him! (The other animals cheer and celebrate this majestic moment with Maria and Markus nuzzling each other.)
* Gerald: Victory! Fellas victory is ours!
*Adeline: Oh that makes my heart sing!
*Chaos: Knowing you personally, I bet it does!
*Annie Oatmeal: (We cut to her, and the wind blows through her hair. She turns to see Senor Mula's ghost.)
*Senor Mula: Well done Annie! You've done me proud! (Annie tears up with pride, waving to the equine's ghost.)
*Power Ent: (Lands beside both Rambo and Sarah, the latter with her wool groomed and decked out in a flower crown and country styled veil. My Farm is Saved from Disney's Home on the Range plays as both sheep look at each other. Time skip.) And after all this time, I finally pronounce you two, ram and wife. (Closes the Bible, and Rambo and Sarah look at each other with loving smiles as their eyes. They both lean in and nuzzle each other as the Ent turns to Annie. He pulls her in and both of their lips make contact, pressing together in a passionate kiss. Rambo and Sarah finish their nuzzle with the Piglets and Chaos bouncing around with happiness, Peck beaming, Stud rearing, Maria and Markus looking at each other lovingly, Dan flapping his wings, Eva showing off, Gerald smiling at the viewer, Adeline looking around, and Sydney leaping around, all while we hear the sounds of their respective animals. The episode closes with the iris on Rambo, who nods at us.)
*Narrator: Here's today's lesson: Everyone makes mistakes, and most people will never know the potential in others, and Plum Puddin' helped our friends to recognize that.
*Balladeer: They sure did.
* Narrator: I'm so glad you were here with me today.
* Balladeer: Oh it was my honor.
