Strawberry Shortcake in: The Berry Tin Soldier
By Alexander Wong
Hello, everyone. Sorry I took so long writing but I was too lazy to write my stories. So I decided to create a new story based on the 2003-2008 Strawberry Shortcake series along with two characters from the 1980's series. Unfortunately, I do not own anything because the Strawberry Shortcake series belong to American Greetings. Still, I will know that if anyone reads my fan-fictional fairy tale, then everyone will like it. Hope you enjoy it, because here's the first chapter.
Chapter 1: Starting a Brand-New Play
"And they lived happily ever after," Strawberry Shortcake finished reading a book to her friends. Strawberry invited her friends Orange Blossom, Angel Cake, Peppermint Fizz, Crepe Suzette and Ginger Snap for a storytelling. The book she was reading was called "The Brave Tin Soldier"; and it was interesting to everyone.
"Incroyable!" Crepes' exclaimed as Strawberry Shortcake put down the book. "I have never seen a brave soldier fell in love with a dancer as he faced many adventures."
"Yeah, Strawberry, it's amazing, it is, I like it, I really do", Ginger spoke rapidly to Strawberry.
"It surely is romantic," Angel Cake sighed dreamily. "Despite many dangers, he still became steadfast and in love".
"Yeah, great," Peppermint Fizz spoke in sarcasm since she probably didn't like the gender of the book.
"Well," Strawberry said. "While I was reading the book, I was wondering… why don't we do a play based on the story?"
"Yeah, that's a good idea, Strawberry Shortcake!" Orange Blossom shouted. "We should start a play based on it."
"Alright, then," Angel said. "What should we do first?" "Well, according to the beginning of the story, there were 25 tin soldiers and they were all brothers." Ginger replied.
"So, we should audition twenty-five boys to play the soldiers," Orange replied.
"Except one problem," Strawberry spoke in sadness. "What?" the others questioned.
"In Strawberryland, there are many girls and one boy, Huckleberry Pie," Strawberry answered.
"That's true, Strawberry," said Angel. "So, what can we do, Strawberry?"
Then, Peppermint Fizz spoke up and said, "Come on, guys! Don't you realize that girls can be better soldiers than boys? If these soldiers can keep their eyes face front, then so can we."
"You know, I think Peppermint's right," Orange Blossom agreed. "Good idea, Peppermint," said Strawberry.
"Yeah, great idea, Peppermint," Ginger nodded. "So, instead of 25 boys, we can get 25 girls, starting with us," Angel said.
"Yeah, and Strawberry, Mon Cherie, you can be the main character of the story," Crepe said.
"Wow," Strawberry said as she never had portrayed a soldier before.
"Well, alright", Peppermint nodded in agreement. "If you guys make me the leader of the tin soldiers."
"Why don't we audition some of our friends close to us like Blueberry Muffin, Raspberry Torte, Lemon Meringue, and Rainbow Sherbet?" Angel said.
"Yeah, yeah," Ginger nodded. "And also our friends far away from the sea, Coco Calypso and Seaberry Delight".
"What about my friends from around the World like Tea Blossom, Tangerina Torta, and Frosty Puff?" Crepe spoke.
"How about Apricot, Cherry Jam, Plum Puddin', Banana Candy, and Watermelon Kiss?" Orange spoke. "We shouldn't forget about them as well."
"Don't forget about our other friends Peach Blush and Café Ole", said Peppermint.
"And last but not least, our friends from the country Annie Oatmeal and Carmel Corn. Along with my friend from Berrywood, Lime Light", Strawberry finished.
"Alright, that's all 25 girls," Orange counted. "Now, what about the costumes?"
"Well, my friends," Crepe said. "I have a friend from Eggland who worked at the Palace. He has some outfits that have a right fit and can show the similarity to the soldiers."
"Alright, then," Strawberry said. "Now we have the auditions and the costumes. Let's start a play!"
And so, they began to do the auditions and costumes for a different but good play.
