Plot
Tired of being pushed around, Sugar Pie takes a class on assertiveness. However, it worked too well.

Episode
(Opening shot: fade in to the exterior of the Rainbow House during the day. Zoom in slowly to the sound of a bell ringing.) (Birds and critters converge on the dwelling; cut to the backyard as others make their way from their homes.) (Ground level; she pours out a pile of feed from a box.) (The hungry animals hurry down, all chow down eagerly as she hovers beside them. A mouse jumps up and knocks the box from her grasp. It pours the food into its gullet, causing its entire body to swell up. She swoops over to snatch it with a chuckle. A barking noise prompts her to turn around; cut to frame Cranberry Pup. He is next to an empty bowl and pleads with her with a whimper.) (One sniff of the food, and the puppy growl and kicks the bowl. It flips into the air so that it lands upside down on her head, dumping the feed and causing her to lose grip of the box. More barking greets her as she removes the bowl from her head.) (She picks up a bowl of salad from a table; close-up of the puppy as it is set down beside him.) (Another annoyed bark and this too is flung away, surprising the young blonde greatly. A nibble at an apple causes the dark red-furred face to turn green. There is a cough.) (He comes to, zips away with a bark, and returns with an open cookbook. The page he points out shows a salad piled high with candy and topped with whipped cream and a strawberry.) (Back to her, now smiling pleadingly.) (She gets it knocked off her hand, her face slapped, and the book thrust into her face.) (Fade to black.)
 * {Sugar Pie} (from o.s.) "Lunchtime!"
 * {Sugar Pie} (from o.s.) "Who's hungry?"
 * {Sugar Pie} "Plenty for everyone."
 * {Sugar Pie} (filing bowl) "Here you go, Cranberry Pup."
 * {Sugar Pie} "Okay, Cranberry. You win."
 * {Sugar Pie} "Berries, carrots, and apples. Yum-yum-yum!"
 * {Sugar Pie} "Well, then, what do you want to eat?"
 * {Sugar Pie} "I'm not sure I can even make that." (Her perspective; he points angrily.) "Well...I don't want you to starve."
 * {Sugar Pie} (holding up a cupcake) "Oh...are you sure I can't tempt you with a nice and yummy ---"
 * {Sugar Pie} (sighing heavily) "I'll make your special recipe."

(Fade in to several produce stands set up near the castle and zoom out to frame Sugar Pie looking on from a distance. She has her backback and is holding a scroll.) (Her perspective of the sheet, moving down; gumdrops, mints, and rock candies are checked off, but licorice and chocolate bars are not. She points at one.) (Cut to frame her as she swims over to a licorice stand. Before she can get one, a fat red-skinned alien zips in and beats her to it.) (The alien pays no mind, placing a coin on the counter and snatching a handful away with some annoyance.) (Behind her, an elderly male alien approaches, his laugh catches her off guard, and she comes up behind him. This alien is colored pale brown.) (Close-up of the device.) (Zoom out to frame both; he flips a coin onto the counter.) (Grabbing a bunch in his hand, he walks off; two female aliens stand up into view to take his place. The first is light red and the other is light green. Both are dressed in typical 1980s fashion and speak with a Valley Girl accent.) (Soft snickering as she retreats past Choco Cream and Gelatin Soft without noticing them.)
 * {Sugar Pie} "Let's see."
 * {Sugar Pie} "Licorice."
 * {Sugar Pie} "Excuse me, um...I think you just stepped in front of me."
 * {Sugar Pie} (as she departs) "Excuse me, I think you made a mistake." (hastily, following her) "I was actually here first and ---" (She stops.)
 * {Fat Red Alien} "Sorry, didn't notice you there!"
 * {Sugar Pie} (to herself) "I know."
 * {Sugar Pie} "Oh, excuse me, sir."
 * {Old Alien} (mumbling, holding up ear trumpet) "Yes? What?"
 * {Sugar Pie} "I think you just cut in front of me."
 * {Old Alien} "A cut of celery?" (lowering trumpet; disdainful mutter) "This is the licorice stand!"
 * {Sugar Pie} "I said..." (speaking into it; reverberating) "I think you just cut in front of me!"
 * {Old Alien} (laughing) "No need, dearie. I'm already in front."
 * {Sugar Pie} (to herself) "I noticed."
 * {Female Alien 1} "...and then I was like, 'uhh, eww...' "
 * {Sugar Pie} "Hey!" (Both roll their eyes at her.)
 * {Female Alien 1} "Hey, move back. You're in my personal space?" (Sugar eyes the wide empty area between herself and them.)
 * {Sugar Pie} "But..."
 * {Female Alien 2} (as Sugar slinks away) "Seriously, do you need your licorice so badly? Get a life!"
