Princeton: (Sighs) It's such a beautiful day today.

Kate Monster: I know. There's nothing better than watching TV with you, Princeton.

Princeton: Aww! Thanks!

Kate Monster: How much better can this day possibly get?

(Then they hear Cinderelmo, Ginger, Kieran and Lizzie coming)

Cinderelmo, Ginger, Kieran and Lizzie: Mom! Dad! Mom! Mom! Dad! Dad! Mom!

Kate Monster: Oh! Hello, kids!

Princeton: What are you all excited about?

Lizzie: We got invited to the Big Blue House to celebrate Tutter's birthday!

Kate Monster: Oh! How exciting!

Princeton: I'll read what it says. (Clears throat) "Dear Cinderelmo, Ginger, Kieran and Lizzie, You are cordially invited to visit me and my friends at the Big Blue House. We're getting ready for a birthday party for our friend Tutter and we need help with the cake, decorations and presents. There will also lots of surprises as well. I hope to see you there! Your friend, Bear."

Kieran: I love birthday parties!

Ginger: Me too!

(All of a sudden, the doorbell rang.)

Kate Monster: Oh! We're coming!

(Kate Monster opened the door and saw almost every single one of her friends with the invitations that herself, Princeton, Cinderelmo, Ginger, Kieran and Lizzie got.)

All: Hello!

Kate Monster: Hello, everyone! How wonderful to see you all!

Julian: Thanks, Kate! And guess what? We all got the invitations to the Big Blue House as well!

Princeton: Wow! Guess it looks like Kate, the kids and I are not the only ones invited!

(Tutter pops up behind the table.)

Tutter: Hi, Bear! Hi, Pip! Hi, Pop! Hi, Tally! Oh! Hi, everyone!

All: Hi, Tutter!

Tutter: I heard you all were talking about my birthday.

Tutter: Really?

The Avenue Q Gang: (Agreeing)

Tutter: Oh, boy! I can't wait to try all the new things I can do when I am older!

When I’m older,

It'll be so great!

I can hardly, hardly wait

To learn to tie my shoes

On my own two feet

Folks will stop and stare

To write my name myself

For the whole world to see!

My favorite things are there

Because my sweet home is so perfect for a bear

Gee, it's great to be at home

I would laugh to see a photograph

Of my good friend jumping rope with a giraffe

It would be fun to send a letter back

Ooh hoo, yeah

It makes me smile to think my friends will say

Bear: Hey! Speaking of birthdays, how about you all help my friends get ready for the party?

Avenue Q Gang: Yeah!

Bear: Great! Come on, everybody!

(The Avenue Q Gang go back inside the Big Blue House. Bear then looks at the viewers.)

Bear: (to the viewer) You know, getting ready for a birthday party can be so much fun! But, what do you think? What do you like about having a birthday party? Hmm?

(A animated question mark appears on the screen and a video clip of children talking about birthdays play)

Boy #1: I get presents, I get to stay up late

Boy #2: Getting presents!

Girl #1: Getting presents!

Boy #3: And growing bigger!

Bear: Okay, everyone! How about we check on Ojo to see how she's doing with the cake?

Rue: Sounds good to me, Bear!

Tank: Yeah!

Bear: Okay then! Let's go!

(Bear and the Avenue Q Gang head to the kitchen)

Bear: Ojo? Ojo?

(Bear then sees Ojo with a chef's hat and apron getting ready to make a cake)

Ojo: Oh! There you all are! I was just getting ready to make the most delicious cake for Tutter! And I need lots of help!

Bear: Hey, will you all help Ojo with making the birthday cake for Tutter?

The Avenue Q Gang: Yeah! Sure! Definitely!

Bear: Well, then, what are we waiting for?

Mr. Cook: Let's get cooking!

Axe: Chop, chop, everybody!

BEAR:

If you take hot milk and you pour in powder

And you put it in the freezer and you leave it about an hour

If it's brown and sweet when you put it on your tongue

Did you make French fries?

OJO: (SPOKEN)

(Laughs)

No, pudding!

ANGELITA: (SPOKEN)

Delicioso!

BEAR:

If you mush an apple and you squoosh a lemon

Squish an orange and squash a melon

And you poor it in a glass and you serve it for lunch

Is it liver and onions?

BEAN:(SPOKEN)

No, it's punch!

BEAR:(SPOKEN)

Mmm, mmm!

ALL:

Magic in the kitchen with a splash and a splatter

Magic in the kitchen with abracadabra

BEAR:

There's magic in the cake and casserole

And the very best part's when you lick the bowl!

JOAN: (SPOKEN)

I've got the eggs! (laughs)

BEAR:

Peel a banana, drop it in a dish

Add some ice cream and that's if you wish

Drizzle some syrup all over it

Is it fish?

OJO: (SPOKEN)

No, a banana split!

BASALT: (SPOKEN)

Now let's mix it all together!

OJO:

I make my favorite recipe with chopped up cheese

Melted chocolate and some pears and some peas

Stir it all together with an avocado

BEAR: (SPOKEN)

What do I call it?

OJO: (SPOKEN)

(Laughs) I don't know!

KATE MONSTER: (SPOKEN)

How about...

ALL:

Magic in the kitchen with a splash and a splatter

Magic in the kitchen with abracadabra

Magic in the cake and a casserole

And the very best part's when you lick the bowl!

(The cake is put inside an oven. A little while later, the oven dings.)

Bear: Hey! The cake is ready!

Matilda Honey: Oh, boy!

(Ojo opens the oven and sees the birthday cake and takes it out of the oven.)

Kieran: Wow! That is one sweet-looking birthday cake!

Ojo: I'll try it!

(Ojo licks the frosting on the cake.)

Ojo: (Gasps) It's delicious!

(Everyone cheers)

Ojo: Thank you all for helping me with the cake!

Bear: You're welcome, Ojo!

Kate Monster: See you at the party!

Bear: Wow! The birthday cake is great!

(Everyone hears a stomach growling.)

Terry: Oh! That's my stomach! That birthday cake sure has made me hungry.

Bear: (Laughs) Terry, you should wait until the party starts to have the cake.

Terry: Oh, I hate waiting.

Bear: How about we check on Pip, Pop and Tally to see how they're doing with the decorations?

Bean: Sure!

Bear: Great! Come on!

(Bear and the Avenue Q Gang head inside the living room to find it a mess)

Bear: Pip? Pop? Tally? How's it coming with those...

Pip and Pop: Hi, Bear.

(Bear and the Avenue Q Gang saw Pip and Pop tangled up. Tally tries to help them.)

Ginger: They're all tangled up!

Princeton: This is not good.

Tally: Oh, hi guys. We're trying to decorate the living room, but Pip and Pop got all tangled up in some of the streamers.

Greg the Bunny: Aww. What should we do to help?

Pip: Just pull that streamer.

Bear: Okay.

Kate Monster: We should help, too.

Stephanie: One, two, three!

(Bear and the Avenue Q Gang pull the streamer and Pip and Pop got untangled by spinning. They then get dizzy.)

Bear: Are you two alright?

Pip and Pop: We're fine.

Pip: Just a little...

Pop: ...dizzy.

Tally: Pip! Pop! You're okay!

Pip and Pop: Thanks, guys!

(Rod sees a balloon.)

Rod: Look! It's a balloon!

(Rod tries to blow up the balloon. After a few tries, he panted.)

Rod: (high-pitched) That was quite some good stuff. (Notices his voice) What happened to my voice? Why do I sound like a chipmunk?

(Everyone laughs)

Pip and Pop: We love birthday parties!

(A balloon pops)

Pip and Pop: Oops!

Dorsel: (Startled) What was that?

Libble: Do you hear what I hear?

Bear: Hey! That sounds like Shadow! Hey! Maybe if we all sing Shadow's song, she'll appear!

Joan: Yeah!

Easy: Great idea!

Stephanie: We'll sing with you! Right, guys?

Others: Yeah!

Evan the Troll: Hold on, everyone, let me just warm up a bit. (Plays his guitar and hums a few bars) Okay, we're ready!

Bear: (to the viewer) Hey! Do you remember Shadow's song? Well, then, if you do, then sing along with us!

(And so Bear and The Avenue Q Gang look for Shadow.)

BEAR:

CINDERELMO: (SPOKEN)

Shadow: Who are your new friends?

Bear: These are all my friends from Avenue Q. They're coming for a visit.

Avenue Q Gang: Hi, Shadow!

Shadow: Hello! Nice to meet you all!

Bear: So Shadow, What have you been doing today?

Shadow: Well, I was dancing a jig with the lamp in the attic! (Dances as she hums a little tune then laughs) Oh, golly, do I feel grand!

Bear: Me too! So Shadow, do you have a story for us today?

Leona: Yeah! Please tell us a story, Shadow!

Rue: We love stories!

Shadow: Of course I do! And I know just the story! Just watch!

Ginger: Me too!

Bear: (Laughs) I know! Let's go check on Treelo and my friend Ursa and see how they're doing with the present wrapped for Tutter. Come on!

(Bear and the Avenue Q Gang walk into Bear's bedroom where they saw Ursa.)

Bear: Oh! Hi, Ursa!

Ursa: Hello, Bear!

(Bear and Ursa hug each other)

Bear: Ursa, these are my friends from Avenue Q. They've come for a visit.

The Avenue Q Gang: Hi, Ursa! Nice to meet you! Hello!

Ursa: I'm trying to find Treelo. He's supposed to wrap Tutter's present but then he ran off to play.

(Treelo appears with the present)

Treelo: (Laughing)

Bear and The Avenue Q Gang: (Screaming)

Treelo: (Screaming)

All: (Screaming)

Bear: Treelo? You surprised us!

Treelo: Sorry. Look at present Treelo wrapped for Tutter!

Bear, Ursa and the Avenue Q Gang: Wow! Oooh! Beautiful! Great job, Treelo! Nice present! Tutter will love it!

Treelo: Then, Treelo open birthday present! (Laughs) Happy birthday!

Princeton: Wait a minute, that's supposed to be Tutter's birthday present!

Treelo: No! Treelo present! Mine, mine, mine!

Ursa: It's not your birthday, Treelo! It's Tutter's birthday.

Skye: Yeah! You wish it was your birthday, Treelo. But it's Tutter's birthday and you're wrapping a present for him.

Treelo: Really?

Bear: Yeah! After all, one of the great things about birthdays is sharing with other people by giving them presents. And Tutter is very good at sharing.

Treelo: Okay. Tutter can have present.

Kieran: Great job, Treelo!

Lizzie: You know what they say, "Sharing is caring".

Bear: Right, Lizzie!

Ursa: I think we need some music while we wrap Tutter's present.

Bear: I know! Let's see if we can find some on the radio.

(Bear turns on the radio and some music plays.)

Treelo: Music? Treelo love music! (Laughs)
