Plot
Caramel Cider attempts to harvest an apple crop in the city garden, but her stubbornness and sleep deprivation causes trouble to some people.

Episode
(The episode starts with Caramel surveying hills of apple trees in the city garden.) (At the end of this line, Gastro comes into the scene.) (Gastro looks with worry.) (He walks off. The girl glares at him, then back at the crop.) (She takes another look at the million of trees. She swallows hard, realizing that this will be a big job.)
 * {Caramel Cider} "Boy, that there is the biggest apple crop ah've ever laid eyes on."
 * {Gastro} "Way too big for you to handle. I mean, bitting off more than you can chew is just was concerns me."
 * {Caramel Cider} (irritated) "Are you saying ah'm too weak to do this job?"
 * {Gastro} "No, but..."
 * {Caramel Cider} "This is the CandyCake Guppy Caramel Cider, remember?" (getting in his face) "The reliable and most dependable of the Candies?"
 * {Gastro} (sounding nervous) "Ar-are you saying I'm messing with your head? One Candy plus hundreds of apple trees just sounds really messed up."
 * {Caramel Cider} "Don't you dare say that just because ah'm little! Ah could handle this harvest, and ah will prove it to you!"
 * {Gastro} (shrugs) "Suit yourself."
 * {Caramel Cider} "I'm gonna get every last apple out of those trees all by myself!"

(Caramel floats through the orchard. There are several buckets of apples filled to the brim. She stops near them and looks around.) (One drops one her head as a tremor shakes the ground.) (She zips off. Cut to Jupiter Town, which is shaking harder, then to Rainbow Flavor as she rises to roof level for a look. In the distance, a huge cloud of dust begins to dash its way along the road leading into town.) (A herd of snapping turtles. Jupiter Town citizens run and fly everywhere, windows are closed, a welcome mat is yanked inside a house, and the front door slams shut. Cotton lets the tremors bounce him along.) (As the turtles continue their mad run, Caramel zooms up next to them.) (She tries to get in front of the turtles. In town, Sugar and Lemon came up alongside Cinnamon, who turns her head with a scared moan. Choco and Cotton have a stick of cotton candy and a chocolate bar and watch with great interest.) (He digs into his chocolate bar. The stampede approaches one of the bridges over the stream bordering Jupiter Town. The nimble cowgirl gets in distance in front of the turtles and does a Quick Attack move on a row of raging turtles.) (She gets ready and does the same move on another row.) (After a brief silence, the watchers cheer her success.) (A bigger snapping turtle in the herd spoke.) (Her silhouette emerges over a hill in full view, framed by the setting sun. Cheers are heard as she throws her hat in the air.) (He thuds to the ground.) (Cut to a bunch of balloons and the end of a hanging banner.) (A celebration is being set up in the town square. Lollipop goes to Gelatin as the handsome redhead adjusts the bow on a red ribbon tied around a tree.) (He takes a banner decorated with apples and hangs it from the third-floor balcony.) (We go to ground level. Now a large crowd has gathered at the pavilion, where a lectern has been set up in front of the doors. Lollipop comes up, carrying a stack of notes, squaring up their edges and bringing the first page up.) (Vanilla barges in, knocking the notes everywhere and forcing Lolli to move aside, much to her annoyance.) (Lolli shoves him back.) (Choco interrupts her.) (The brown-suited boy looks at her with wide eyes for a brief second.) (Sugar peeks her head up.) (She cringes and slides away.) (Cut to the crowd. There is just silence. Back to her.) (She looks to see the mayor standing next to her with a sweet grin. The girl gives up with a groan and lets her notes go flying in all directions.) (The mayor takes her place, with a large trophy decorated with a brown and orange ribbon.) (Cut to the curtain, which shows...nothing. The cheers turn into gasps, silence, and confused chatter.) (Part of a light-skinned head with red hair and a cowboy hat and a pile of apples make their way through the crowd.) (Cough! Some creatures react with shock as she passes. She also left fruit behind.) (Back to the others. Caramel is heard stumbling over something.) (At the lectern, she thrusts her face into the mayor's, with a full backpack of apples slung on her back. The red nose and the bloodshot eyes betray the fact that her harvesting time has cut deeply into her sleep.)
 * {Caramel Cider} "Well, ah better bet bucking. These apples aren't gonna buck themselves."
 * {Caramel Cider} "Oh boy!"

 * {Caramel Cider} "Ah understand. Just next time, try not to cause more trouble."
 * {Lead Snapping Turtle} (as herd walks away) "Will do, Ms Cider. So long!"
 * {Caramel Cider} "So long!"

 * {Lollipop Pops} "Welcome, everyone! Today we are here to honor a young girl we can always count on to help in matters big and small." (Next page) "A girl whose contributions to--"

 * {Choco Cream} "This week, I get to make baked goods for the first time!"
 * {Lollipop Pops} "What does that have to do with Caramel?"
 * {Choco Cream} "Oh! Caramel, one of the bestest bakers ever, is gonna help me. She makes everything great, so free samples for everyone!" (Cheers.)
 * {Lollipop Pops} (pushes him aside) "Okay, that's great." (Notes up, but scrambled.) "Now if I could just make a point without being interrupted---"
 * {Sugar Pie} "Lollipop? I'm sorry, but I just wanted to say that Caramel is also helping me this week with the cats. We count up all the new kittens that were born this season. She's gonna help gather them using her wonderful herding skills."
 * {Lollipop Pops} "Anyone else? Anyone?"
 * {Lollipop Pops} "No?" (She brings her notes up again.) "Well, as I was saying, ---"
 * {Lollipop Pops} (floating off) "Never mind!"
 * {Mayor Jupiter} "And so, with no further ado, it's my privilege to give the 'Prized Guppy of Jupiter Town' Award to our beloved guest of honor...a guppy of the utmost trustworthiness, reliability, and integrity...Jupiter Town's most capable and dependable friend..." (gesturing to his left) "...Caramel Cider!"
 * {Lemon Drop} (shaking her head slowly, under her breath) "Awkward."
 * {Caramel Cider} (from o.s.) "Ah'm here!"
 * {Caramel Cider} "I'm here!"
 * {Caramel Cider} "Sorry ah'm late...I was just..."
