SCENE 1 | Telly and Baby Bear have just finished making a book they wrote and illustrated. Stinky the Stinkweed, Zoe and Gordon assemble to be the first to hear their story - "The Little Merbear." In the story, Baby Bear plays a "Merbear," with his best friend, a fish (Telly). They sing songs and enjoy their marine life, when they're approached by a shark (Joey Mazzarino). He turns out to be an "alphabet shark," who sings "The Alphabet Song" with them. They all then eat the letters for lunch and live happily ever after. | |
SCENE 1 cont'd | Stinky loved the story and wishes he could write one too, but believes he can't because he's a plant. Gordon tells him writers can still come up with stories and offers to write down his first line: "Once upon a time..." He and Zoe start coming up with how the story will go... | |
SCENE 1 cont'd | As the story begins, Stinky plays a plant who encounters a dancing princess. He loves her dancing, but can't dance with her because he's confined to his pot.

SCENE 1 cont'd | The newly-transformed plant finds the princess and they dance together.

The Lovely Magic Gordon Guy appears to grant it and the princess makes him her royal plant, then gives him some water. | |
