Strawberry Shortcake had lots of nice things to say about the other seasons, but it turns out autumn is her favorite. However shall she and the others end the summer? Answer: campout. Darn it, how come characters who don't know how to swim never learn it in my favorite shows but do in my unfavorites? Huh, Custard has learned to translate Pupcake's language. Sleepovers at each other's houses six times? That friendship is STRONG. Angel Cake looks her invitation over: Someone's excited. Ginger Snap convinces Strawberry Shortcake that no invitation came; the latter will believe the worst liars. Either way, the nyctophobic Ginger Snap - who did get but just kept hiding them - is coming.
Will hiding in the closet work? Nope. How's about faking illness? I should say not. Ginger Snap glares at Chocolate Chipmunk, the following written on her face: "Sometimes you can be a real nuisance". Bag along some lights, everything will be okay...unless an annoying branch ruins it. (Why doesn't she hear the plops?) Strawberry Shortcake learns the inevitable and apologizes that her friend felt compelled to join. Too late.
"Creepy, crawly night monsters!" Yikes, Huckleberry Pie is scary! How 'bout some not-so-scary stories? But the others are no help, for they desire a thrill. Ginger Snap's easier to convince about certain things than Angel Cake: The latter didn't join in singing "Fun For Fun's Sake", but the former sure did at the end of "An Itty Bitty Scare". Never mind, an extinguished fire destroyed it. No flashlights? No problem. A bicycle-lamp can provide relief...or not.
Ginger Snap disappears to find her dropped flashlights before the others get a fire going (though Angel Cake has a say against it). The one from Cookie Corners ain't in her tent, prompting a search. "Leave it to me, the pie guy!" Ha ha! Moving on, great character development on Ginger Snap's part. Following the second song come responses to an owl's hooting which reminds me of Moe from the Three Stooges short The Ghost Talks:
Ginger Snap: Who's there? (hooting) That's right. Who? (more hooting) I asked YOU who!
Moe: We gotta figure a way outta here. (hooting) Hush, ya lamebrain, who do ya THINK I'm talkin' about?
Priceless. "Maybe the creepy crawlies are as scared of me as I am of them." If only more people, especially other TV producers, would realize this simple fact. Ginger Snap makes new friends out of an owl, cricket, and frog, who help her locate the flashlights. On top of that, the rescue party ends up becoming the rescued. Owls are cute, frogs are cute, crickets are cute...in short, misunderstood beasts being given a better chance on television. No wonder this show's excellent.moreless

ADD QUOTES- Ginger Snap: Frightened by the dark Haunted by the night Just the thought of evening makes my tummy not feel right Wish I knew how come I came to be No more than shaky, quaky, scaredy little me Fearful of the trees Shrinking from the moon Startled at my shadow, even scared to sing this tune There's no greater shame, I guarantee Than being flittish, skittish, scaredy little me Oh, why can I be more like Huck He loves a scare the most And Angel Cake's not horror-struck She'd welcome any ghost And Orange Blossom has no fear Her bravery's superpowered And Strawberry never sheds a tear So why am I such a coward Silly fraidy cat Yellow-bellied bird A heebie-jeebie chicken who could use a friendly word But who would ever make friends willingly With such a lily-livered, scaredy little me If only I could me more like them And less like scaredy little me Edit
- All except Ginger Snap: An itty-bitty scare An itty-bitty scare That fright in the night When there's nothing really there There's fun in the sun But it never can compare To a spooky-ooky itty-bitty scare Strawberry Shortcake: Gather 'round the campfire Look at the smoke I think that's a ghost, and this isn't a joke Huckleberry Pie: No wait, it's a witch Angel Cake: It's a pumpkin Orange Blossom: It's a head Ginger Snap: It's time I ran in home and got in bed All except Ginger Snap: An itty-bitty scare An itty-bitty fright Orange Blossom: The lump in your throat At the bump in the night Strawberry Shortcake: There's nothing to fear Just stay near me and beware All except Ginger Snap: Of the eerie-weary spooky-ooky itty-bitty scare Angel Cake: Maybe if you're lucky A cute ghost or two Will sneak up behind you And suddenly go boo Orange Blossom: Or a beast in the woods Crawling closer, creep, creep, creep All except GS: Creep, creep, creep, creep Ginger Snap: Now I know I'll never get to sleep Strawberry Shortcake: The night is a place where we store all our fears But when friends are with friends, there's no need for any tears 'Cause the point of these stories is to have ourselves a ball But when you clear away the smoke There's nothing there at all All: An itty-bitty scare A bitty-batty boo When friends stick together There's no night they can't get through So let's whip up some fun And a few surprises too With the creepy-leapy, eerie-weary, spooky-ooky, freaky-eeky Itty-bitty scare Edit
- Ginger Snap: Who's there? (owl hoots) That's right. Who? (more hooting) I asked you who! Edit
