Strawberry's world-traveling cousin Apple Dumplin' stops at Berry Bitty City. What starts as a brief visit becomes a series of comical misadventures that ends with Apple finding a new home with Strawberry and her friends.

Berry Bitty City is abuzz as Berrykin Bloom introduces the biggest, juiciest, strangest fruit anyone has ever seen! It's the size of a house, shaped like a strawberry, colored like a watermelon and has a spiky pineapple top. "I call it the sparklestrawwaterpineberry!" says Berrykin Bloom. Princess Berrykin declares it the greatest achievement in Berryculture she's ever witnessed.

To convince the dance-averse Huckleberry to attend the big masquerade ball at the dog park, Blueberry promises she'll stay by his side the whole evening and make sure he doesn't have to dance. But as the day of the ball dawns, Blueberry awakens with a bad cold. She doesn't know how to tell Huck that she can't go to the ball. Lemon and Raspberry misinterpret her sniffles, thinking she's so heartbroken to be disappointing Huck that she's crying!

The girls plan a formal afternoon lawn party tea to inaugurate their new dog park. Plum is in charge of decorations, Cherry music, and Strawberry snacks. There's even a giant, dog-shaped ice sculpture. As the girls get dressed, Raspberry puts the finishing touches on the high-fashion hats that will accompany their beautiful gowns. At last everything is ready. But when the gate opens... the puppies back away!

The girls are driven to distraction by their frisky puppies frolicking all over Berry Bitty City! Full of energy and thinking that everything in town is a toy for them to play with, they cause comical mayhem wherever they go. Strawberry suggests the pups need a place of their own where they can play, a dog park! The girls decide to call in Huckleberry, who runs an animal hotel in Berry Big City, to help design the park.

Cherry Jam is so enjoying staying in Berry Bitty City, that she calls her managers in Big Bitty City and informs them that she is going to stay for a much needed vacation! Strawberry and the girls are thrilled that she will be with them for a little longer, and they do all they can to make their guest comfortable. But Cherry doesn't want to be treated like a guest she wants to fit in and contribute to the community.

With time running out before the Grand Opening celebration for the new Marketplace, Strawberry's friends get the idea to invite her favorite singer, superstar CHERRY JAM, to be the guest singer. The girls are blown away when their berryjuice cell phone gets a text message that Cherry accepts their invitation! Strawberry is touched by their surprise, but reminds them that now the town and Marketplace really have to shine!

Strawberry is really touched when her girlfriends and the Berrykins volunteer to help her with the construction of her new marketplace, so when the girls suggest they take charge of designing Strawberry's dream-bedroom to go on the second story, of course Strawberry agrees. While construction is going on, the girls each show Strawberry their individual ideas for the bedroom.

After returning to the café after a walk with her pets, Strawberry is met by Mr. Longface. He's been waiting for her so that they can get started making treats and decorating for Sadiebug's and Kadiebug's party that afternoon. But Custard and Pupcake have enjoyed their time outside so much that they want to continue playing.

With all the Baby Berrykins running around Berry Bitty City, Princess Berrykin decides to build a Day Care Center and playground. But she's worried because it's dull-looking - all grey metal and brown wood. She asks Strawberry whom might be good to help her out. And two names immediately come to her mind - Lemon and Raspberry! The Princess confesses she's always admired their sense of design and style.

While working in her store, Orange overhears the Berrykins laughing and shouting outside. When she goes to the door to investigate, a clump of dandelion fluff gets blown inside chased by three Berrykins. She watches as they head butt the clump around until it floats back toward Orange. Just as it floats close, she gives it a bat sending it outside and the Berrykins happily chasing after it. Wanting in on the fun, she joins them.

While sipping cider in Strawberry's café, the girls muse about how they cannot wait for winter to arrive. They list the various traditions they love about the season but the one they all agree on is the Glimmerberry Ball. Strawberry mentions that she doesn't think the café can hold the party this year because of how the town has grown. The girls decide to split up and search for a new location.

Raspberry is distraught when she suspects her friends have copied her design on her lantern for the "Glimmerberry Gathering".

It's time again for the Dance-Off between the Big Bitty City Dance Team and the Berry Bitty City Dancers. Plum is stressed out and frazzled because she desperately wants to win. And the Big Bitty City Dancers are a force to be reckoned with. They are elegant and beautifully synchronized. Plum shows the girls a maze of dance steps that she's choreographed in the hopes of creating a winning piece. The problem is, the contest is only 1 week away!

The grove around Berry Bitty City is abuzz with activity. The Berrykins are using their sparkles to harvest berries, Berrykin Bloom is in his garden spraying flowers with a special solution to make them larger, and Raspberry is nearby gathering flower petals to make perfume. The wind starts to blow and picks up some of the sparkles. The sparkles float along the wind and get combined with some of Berrykin Bloom's solution.

Blueberry has become obsessed with the mystery book detective heroine, Patti Persimmon. She decorates her store with Patti posters and rearranges her shelves to make room for all the Patti books she's ordered. Blueberry begins to neglect outings with her friends and even goes so far as to dress like her idol just to emulate her. She then starts looking for cases to solve around town.

Overhearing Blueberry reading a story to the baby Berrykins about the scary Galumphalot, Orange is uncharacteristically shaken. She determines she doesn't want anything scary around her, just relaxation. But while the girls are having a hair-styling party at Lemon's salon, a malfunction at the BerryWorks causes the whole town to go dark. And Orange begins to get really anxious.

All of Berry Bitty City is excitedly making their way through the berry batch in search of the elusive Wanderberry. It is to be the dessert at the BerryFest Feast. Everyone is milling about searching for it on their own when Blueberry points out that the rules say the BerryFest Princess is in charge of the search. The girls turn to her for direction and she points them where she thinks the berry might be.

All of Berry Bitty City is gathered around to watch the last snowberrykin melt. As the last bit of snow forms a puddle, a cheer goes up, spring is here! It's now time for the annual BerryFest. But with Princess Berrykin out of town on business, who will be the BerryFest Princess and preside over the festival?! Everyone is abuzz with how to go about choosing the Princess and what her duties will be. Postmaster Bee declares the only fair way to go about it is to hold an election. Everyone agrees.

Plum decides to hold a dance recital at Strawberry's Café Cabaret stage and sends out a stack of invitations. She forgets, however, to check the sign-up sheet at the Café and schedules it for the same night as Blueberry is scheduled to read to the baby Berrykins. Strawberry tells Plum she cannot hold the recital in the Café on her chosen day because the Café is booked.
