SCENE 3 The parade still can't begin, as they're missing the main element - the big, Grouch float. A delivery man arrives with a float decorated with hearts, flowers and balloons, none of which is Grouchy. It turns out he's made a mistake; that float is for the Happy Elf Parade. The man won't be able to construct Oscar's float in time, so Oscar decides to call off the parade. Tarah volunteers to be the float, thinking her wheelchair can be decorated with some Grouchy items.
