I don't own anything that is Strawberry Shortcake unless I bake a Strawberry Shortcake.

Part two, Strawberry returns to OZ, there is a plant in danger, and sisterly revenge.

It had been a month since the trip to OZ, Pupcake was getting a little too big to say in the house and was sleeping in the nearby forest in order to guard the house from any monsters that might be lurking, Strawberry had just finally allowed herself to sleep at night a week ago, and an huge dragonfly nearly killed the plants that she was watering.

She looked up after seeming her plants nearly get ripped out of her window plant box and said "holy macrons! Where did you come from?!" she asked in shock as to why a dragonfly would fly so close to an open window of a house when there is a person's head sticking out of it.

"A long ways away, madam." The dragonfly answered in a polite manner. "I was sent to find a Strawberry Shortcake, to take back to Emerald City by the good witch. Would you happen to be her?"

"Yes I am Strawberry Shortcake, but what is so urgent that the good witch needs me? And how would the good witch even know my name? I don't remember giving it to anybody the last time I was in OZ." Strawberry asked out of curiosity. No matter how smart or magical she was, she was still a child after all, and it was a very valid question.

"The good witch knows many things. Now we need to go and see what she wants soon, Madam Shortcake." The dragonfly told her.

This made the good witch seem like a stocker as Strawberry got on the dragonfly to fly off to Emerald City in the land of OZ, which she still didn't know was the land of OZ by the way. She only went because it seemed like the dragonfly would not take no for an answer, so this was technically a kidnapping.

On the flight over to Emerald City, Strawberry got to see the barren wasteland that OZ had become after she left. She thought it was strange that it only took a month for the place to become a waste land when they didn't need her there before. Emerald City didn't look as bright as it use to either.

"What happened here?" She asked as the dragonfly landed on the castle balcony.

"The Gem Berry bushes are being killed by another wicked witch and the ones that were picked before are being taken for granted by the berriekins." The good witch said as she quickly and magically showed an image in the air. "Both efforts are destroying our wildlife and food sources. At this rate, we will all die in the dark of starvation. There are only a few Gem Berry bushes left, and we really need the Gem Berry bushes to live." Her voice sounded panicked.

Her other wicked sister was causing more harm than good, in her quest for revenge and to teach the barriekins a lesion in taking the things they have for granted. She understood that the berriekins needed to learn a lesson and she was upset too that her sister, no matter how mean, was dead but her living sister was going about this the wrong way and she really needed Strawberry's help to fix it as Strawberry's singing was magical enough to make the berriekins do what they needed to do to save themselves.

"And you want me to help you save those plants so that the people of this land don't die?" Strawberry asked, showing that just because she six years old and acted like a child didn't mean that she was stupid.

She had shown such a thing before by questioning the berriekins choices but now she was using it on the good witch and it was proving that those weren't just random instances. Yeah sure she makes dumb choices but to be fair, getting impaled by a house beam during a tornado is the much better option as opposed to being ripped apart by that tornado with nothing to block the impact at all. So it was dumb choice vs. dumber choice in that respect.

Well anyways, back to the present instead of being trapped in the good witches thoughts.

"Yes, I need your help. You see, I don't like using my wand on living things; especially when it is my sister of the berriekins, but that is not what I need you to help me with." The good witch states as she walks to the balcony. "I need you to find and bring one of the plants back to me so that it can be replanted and protected. This would really help out the people every much and you would not have to get your hands bloodied with any deaths. I am aware that the last death you saw shock you up very much, and while I didn't intend the last death to happen, you still didn't need to see that." She finished in an apologetic tone.

"I will help you." Strawberry said, happy that she didn't have to see anymore death. Although something in the back of her mind could not shake the feeling that somebody was going to die on this trip too.

With that, the good witch ordered the dragonfly who had taken Strawberry to the castle in Emerald city to take her to the nearest living Gem Berry bush. Upon flying over the bush, Strawberry saw three familiar berriekins. She landed to great them as they were the same ones who gave her those shoes a month ago. They were playing with the berries on the bush and littering when there was a garbage can nearby. She could now see why the good witch had said the berriekins were taking such a thing for granted now that she got to see the real thing and how the berriekins were acting. She could also see why the last witch who died in front of her a month ago was so mean to them. These berriekins were mean to everything else in their wake; it sort of acted as some sort of karmic justice.

Anyway she gave them a pep talk in the form of a song, which forced their wills to clean up after themselves and take care of the bush, via magic and was about to use it to have them help her safely dig up the bush and place in an a pot so she could move it to a safer location when the wicked witch that was flying around killing these plants with a zap saw a chance for revenge and made it look like she was going to zap Strawberry in a death beam but instead aimed for the bush as a way of toying with Strawberry's mind as a part of her revenge. She then flew off while riding a flying monkey that she had gained when her sister died.

"Oh no, this is bad. What do we do to save your people now?" Strawberry asked the berriekins as she watched the witch fly away. She was a bit upset that she had to watch a Plant die, as the good witch told her that she would not have to see death that day.

"I think the good witch saw another Gem Berry bush in the forest a few weeks ago, maybe it is still there." the dragonfly informed her.

"Do you think she could guide to the location of where she saw it?" Strawberry asked in a panic. She needed to make sure it didn't die so that the residence of this land didn't die. She really hated death in any form.

"We could try and ask, let me call up some dragonfly friends so that the berriekins can come along with us when we ask. Then we will go and ask." The dragonfly said before flying off to find a way to make sure they all went.

The dragonfly came back with three other dragonflies. "Hop on and lets go, quickly." The dragonfly that they had been talking to before had told them in a hurry.

When they got back to Emerald Cities Castle, the friends from the last trip to OZ were there and she went to greet them. She was about to gossip but then her mind reminded her that she need to ask the good witch if she could guide them to the bush that she saw a few weeks ago.

She asked and the good witch agreed to show them where she saw it, but didn't guarantee that it would still be there with her sister running ramped.

They went to the place where the good witch saw it and after a bit of looking around, low and behold it was still there. With the good witch, the berriekins, and the three friends she had made last time she was in OZ on her side, they would have a better chance of defending the plant from the vengeful witch teaching harsh lessons.

Sure enough the wicked witch showed up to kill the last plant holding these very special berries. The witch was about to zap when the good witch got in the way. The wicked witch not really intending to kill people, stopped in her tracks.

"Why are you guarding that bush, you know just as well as I that those berriekins don't deserve the luxury of having these barriers. All they do is leave them on, toss them around, and kill them when they get bored of them. Plus the people who kill our sister are down there, you are going to tell me that you would betray your own sister in order to protect them?" The wicked witch asked, feeling betrayed even if her only living sister was 'the good witch'.

"It isn't as simple as you make it out to be, you see without these plants we all die, not just the berriekins. If I am protecting this bush, I am only doing it in the best interest of all the citizens of OZ, not just them." The good witch sighs and continues as her sister is still waiting to hear about why she is defending their sisters' murderers. "As for 'the ones who killed our sister' that was a complete accident and if anything it was the scarecrow, lion, and tin girl that partook in such an accident, our guest in OZ had nothing to do with it other than seeing it happen. I had no intention of anybody dying when I invited the young girl as a guest in our land and I had no intention of her gaining those shoes that our sister wanted. The shoes part was all on the berriekins." She said as she hopped her sister would listen to reason. Then she switched to a begging tone "Please please please, rethink this. I don't want to have to attempt to take your wand away."

Deciding to hold off on the revenge and deciding to no longer target Strawberry as her sister did have a point on Strawberry being innocent. She would target the tin girl, the lion, and the scarecrow latter. The wicked witch asked "And how do you suggest I go about teaching the berriekins to not be wasteful?"

The good witch moved beside her sister and whispered in her ear. "You could let our guest do it, her singing is magical and make people do things that they would not have done otherwise. Just before you destroyed that last plant her singing made three berriekins actually clean up after themselves against their will and they didn't seem to mind because it was a song. Maybe she is the right person for such a job despite only be six years old."

This sounded like a good idea to the wicked witch but it was risky as getting a smart six year old like Strawberry to use her singing for that thing would be hard to do if they told her to do it. So far as the wicked witch knew, her sister had been tricking Strawberry into singing for the greater good. She also knew that if Strawberry was more aware of her magical ability, she would either become a great source of good or a great source of evil with it. Not that she doubted that strawberry was aware of having such magic but she doubted that Strawberry was aware of how powerful something like that could be or was at the moment.

"That sounds kind of risky but if we can somehow make it happen without telling her to do it, then I am game for such a plan. But know this, as this mess is over with and she gets though teaching, I am going after the scarecrow, tin girl, and lion. They need to be taught not to kill in a way that will leave a lasting impact and I don't think our guest will cut it on that. Also if they ever fall back into this trend of hurting the resources they need to live, I will come back and personally kill every bush that comes out of that last bush, as well as that bush." The wicked witch whispered back before she went away, calling the monkeys to follow her as she left. The good witch watched the fly away and nodded in understanding.

The good witch flew back down while still on her dragonfly. "I think our issue with my sister is solved for now, but we still need to move this bush to somewhere safe." The good witch stated as everybody wondered what she had said to her sister to make her sister go away. They all shock off the question in their mind and turned around to start to dig up and move the bush when the plant looked like its light was going out.

In order to save the plant Strawberry sang a song about how love, water, and sunlight can save all the plant and by proxy save everybody in this land. The song had saved the plant from dying via the magic of the song its self. This gave the group enough time to dig it up, plant it in a pot, and move it to a green house in a berriekin town in order to be taken care of until it could stand on its' own without Strawberry's magic.

While staying there until the plant could stand on its own, Strawberry thought it was a good idea to teach the berriekins to not be wasteful via magic song that forces them not to be wasteful in a finite sense. At this point she was starting to see singing as a convenient job, rather than something she enjoyed doing, but they learned their lesson but it also helped to that the good witch said that if they ever be wasteful again she was going to let all the Gem Berry bushes die. She had waited until Strawberry was asleep to tell them that though. With the combined efforts, the lesson really stuck.

So after the bush was taken out of the green house, the good witch had a dragonfly take Strawberry home. After Strawberry was home, she was greeted by her dog who had gotten slightly bigger in the week that she was gone and they had a homemade cake and a nap, without a care in the world.

Back in OZ, the wicked witch kept her word on teaching the scarecrow, tin girl, and lion not to kill people, and boy did it make her feel better to be targeting the right people.

The end.

Here are some things I would like to clear up from throughout the story before one leaves.

One, just because a witch is wicked doesn't mean they are evil. Wicked has more than one meaning, one is good, and the other is just mean or bad.

Two, just because somebody is a 'good' which doesn't mean their morals are clean and pure. You could be manipulative to your own ends and still be considered 'good'.

And three, we don't know if Strawberry Shortcake is good or evil in this fic, she is just a six year old kid with magic powers and a moral compass. A person can be evil and still have a moral compass. It would not matter if she was good or evil; she would still be shook up by seeing death as she is just a six year old.

That is all, thank you for reading.
