SCENE 1 Telly and Baby Bear play a game where they see who can think of the most P words. Telly becomes stuck, then blurts out a made-up word, “popplebubble.” They start exchanging silly-sounding made-up words, and realize that they really like saying “Poconoko.” They decide that it will be a secret password for a best friends club, and even come up with a handsign for it. They swear they will keep it secret, but Zoe comes by and asks them what Poconoko means.
