SST Season 20 Outline: Saving Hooper's Store

[minor muppetz]

Thanks to a private message request by Kathy27, here is a season 20 outline. She actually requested this plot, but I have decided to make it a multi-episode story.

Here is part 1.

Scene 1
Big Bird welcomes the viewer to Sesame Street, and goes to Hooper's Store, where he finds David and Gina to be sad. He wonders why they are sad. Big Bird thinks aloud to what might have happened. He thinks maybe they forgot the alphabet, or maybe they forgot what day of the week it is, or mayeb they ran out of birdseed ingredients. The latter makes Big Bird sad, and he starst to cry.
