(Music)
Strawberry: Now that is a winter swirl tree. (Sighs)
Sour: Alright, lets get to it. (Throws ornament)
Strawberry: Uh, good question. Why is Sour Grapes attacking the tree?
Orange: She decorates it. Every year.
(Transits)
Sour: Winter Swirl.
(Lights)
(Breaks)
Sour: Woo.
(Transits)
Sour: Deck the halls.
(Throws)
(Transits)
Sour: This tree is like my soul.
(Shows an evil looking tree)
Strawberry: B..b..but, Winterswirl trees should be MAGICAL GLOWING BEACONS OF HOPE! Isn’t there anyberry else who could…
(Shows Bread and Raspberry dating, shows Lime and Blueberry talking to each other while Blueberry eats snow, then Shows Lemon lighting up the LemonAndLime All Time Cart)
(Fireworks)
Strawberry: Hold the scone. Ive got an idea!
Orange: Lemon would be great, but she’s gonna say NO.
Strawberry:Why? Lighting a tree seems like a totally Lemon thing to do.
Orange: Whoever decorates the tree has to give a speech at the tree lighting. Lemon, not really an outgoing berry so…
Strawberry: (Squealing in joy)
Orange: Why are you making that face…
Strawberry: (to the audience) You know who is an outgoing berry? ME! (Giggles) Who better to turn Lemon into the perfect Public Speaker?
(All surround)
Strawberry: Hiiiii!!!! Yeah, we’ve decided you’re decorating the Winter Swirl tree this year.
Lemon: (gasps)
Lemon: (to the audience) No no. No no no no NO!!!!
Lemon: I DONT do speeches.
Strawberry: But you can make this place look more amazing than any other Berry!
Lemon: Ugh, that is true.
Strawberry: And the speech? (Blows) Easy once we turn you into a Speech Giving Machine! (Looks cutely at Lemon) please?
Lemon: Aww. (Stands up)
Lemon: (in a robot voice) SPEECH GIVING MACHINE ACTIVATED
Blueberry, Orange, Lime: (confused)
Lemon: Ah, that sounded better in my head. FINE, what do I do?
Lime: Use descriptive words. You aren’t lighting a tree, youre illuminating the SPIRIT OF THE SEASON!
Lemon:Uh huh.
Orange: Look every berry in the eye with a look that says “HEY, YOU! LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING! GRR!”
Lemon: Grr?
Blueberry : If you get nervous, just think of every berry in their underwear!
Lemon: Gross.
Strawberry: And last but not least, smile, be yourself, speak from the heart and you’ll be PERFECT! Get all that?
Lemon: Uhh….
Strawberry: RIGHT! Show us what you’ve got!
(Strawberry, Lime, Orange and Blueberry sit down)
Lemon: (deep breathes) Ahem, hey there.
Orange: Grr.
Lemon: So… GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
Lime: AAAAH!!! (Cover eyes)
Lemon: I uh.. (in a robot voice) WANNA ILLUMINATE THE (pause) LOTS OF SPARKBERIES!
Blueberry: (gestures)
Lemon:Underwear! We all have it!
Strawberry, Lime, Orange: (disgusted)
Lemon: in summary trees
(Fake smile)
Blueberry: Yay! (Claps)
Strawberrry: okay, that was uh… well…
Lemon: SEE?! This is why I NEVER WANTED TO LIGHT THE TREE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
(Walks away)
Strawberry: (to the audience) The thing about being an outgoing berry is, sometimes you forget not every berry is as outgoing as you.
Strawberry: Um, Lemon?
Lemon: I dont wanna talk about it. I dont wanna talk AT ALL.
Strawberry: I know. I know. Just listen. I shouldn’t have tried to force you to do something you didn’t want to do. Youre perfect just the way you are! (In a robot voice) YOURE JUST SO GOOD AT DECORATING… (in her regular voice) Huh???
Lemon: Yeah, well if i didn’t have to give a speech, I'd love to…
Strawberry: (Squealing in joy)
Lemon: Why are you making that face…
Strawberry: (to the audience) The thing about being an outgoing berry is you can speak up for your friends who dont like speaking as much by getting rid of silly rules like HAVING TO GIVE A SPEECH!
(Night view)
Strawberry: My pal Lemon, is going to let her work speak for itself.
(Gleams)
Blueberry, Orange, Lime, Huck, Townspeople: WOO! YEAH! WOOHOO! ALRIGHT!
Raspberry, Bread and Sour: (silent)
Lemon: (giggles)
(Switches)
(EXTREMELY BRIGHT LIGHT)
Raspberry, Bread and Sour: (get blinded)
Raspberry and Bread: YEAH! WOOHOO!
Sour: (thumbs up)
Strawberry: Now that was an awesome speech!
Lemon: Yeah, I am pretty awesome.
