Strawberry Shortcake and her friends prepare their sleeping bags for a sleepover at the Clubhouse.

Lime comes up with a book club, Lemon wants a scary movie marathon, Blueberry suggests for the theme of the slumber party to be relaxation, Orange plans to binge on junk food and Raspberry hopes to have a tea party. Strawberry happily says that it's going to be perfect. Unbeknownst to her, her friends all have clashing ideas.
While Lime is read out loud a book, but Lemon interrupts her telling her that she's trying to watch a movie. The movie scares Raspberry, causing her to spill tea. Blueberry tries to meditate but gets frustrated by Orange chewing loudly. Various things happen at once and Strawberry is disappointed and was not expecting this to happen. Strawberry gets all of her friends attention and tries to tell them a solution but keeps getting interrupted by her friends and their own ideas for the party. After they're done, she tells them about her idea of taking turns for each activity for a specific time her alarm has and will rotate after the time is up. All the girls agree with the plan.
Raspberry was going to brew tea until the timer rings and accidentally breaks her own teapot after getting startled by it, afterwards they all watch a horror movie and everyone is on edge and once the timer rings they immediately turn off the movie. Blueberry and her friends all meditate and when she was about to tell the next step everyone the timer rings and everyone rushes off, Lime reads out a book and when the timer rang everyone but Blueberry left, she eagerly asks Lime what happens next in the story. Orange introduces her snack stash but the timer rings before they could eat. Various montages plays of the timer going off before they could continue further with their own activities, which is starting to irritate all of her friends.
Strawberry is upset because she didn't expect for her first slumber party to end up like this. Her friends argue over what they want to do and Raspberry angrily utters that the slumber party is a disaster but Orange contradicts this saying that the snack Strawberry made is great, Strawberry thanks her for the compliment and explains what she put in the bag and how it's a mix of sweet and salty flavors and gets an idea on how to save the slumber party.
The next scene shows the girls watching a film adaptation of Lime's book while also enjoying tea and snacks. Lemon and Lime seems to agree that the movie is good. Orange praises Strawberry for the idea of combining all their ideas into one for the slumber party. Strawberry compares this to baking where you put all the ingredients together for the perfect recipe and how this is the perfect slumber party to her.
