SCENE 1 | Zoe looks for someone to play with and finds Baby Bear, who is drawing a picture of Gabi (as a surprise gift for her mom). Zoe wants to be involved, so they assign her to the position of lookout, to make sure the surprise won't be ruined. Zoe starts crowding Baby Bear's space, thinking her role is to look at the picture. Gabi begins thinking of a way to teach Zoe the proper way to be a lookout. |
