Storm on Sesame Street

"Storm on Sesame Street."

-Let's get another. -Okay. Almost, Bert.

-Oh, boy, this is heavy. - Okay. Phew.

-Come on in, get your supplies. -Thanks for the water.

-Certainly, Baby Bear. -You're welcome. Stay safe, Baby Bear.

- -Oh, hi.

Elmo's so happy you're here.

You know, there's a big storm coming to Sesame Street,

so we're helping our neighbors.

Like Elmo said, we're handing out extra food and water,

'cause folks will need to stay inside during the storm.

-Yeah. -Be safe, everyone.

-Uh-huh. -Together, we'll all get through this.

You know, Daddy says there's gonna be lots of wind

and rain, and thunder and lightning.

Elmo and Tango don't want this storm to come, Daddy.

Yeah, I understand.

But unfortunately, we can't change the weather.

We can prepare for it, though,

which is why I need your help, uh, on a special mission.

-Wha… A special mission? - Mm-hm.

- -I need you to find star stickers,

a sock and an ice cream scooper.

- Mm? -Huh?

I know, they… they seem silly.

But I promise they'll help us and our friends during the storm.

Helping our friends is how we can show courage during tough times.

Well, you can count on us.

Elmo and Tango can show courage, just like Daddy.

I know it. I know you can.

Okay, now come on. Let's start our special mission.

- -

I'm Sammy Squalls, here on Sesame Street,

where neighbors are helping each other prepare for the really big storm.

Excuse me, what are your thoughts on the oncoming storm?

Scram.

Yes, absolutely. We'd all love for this storm to scram.

Not the storm, you.

Oh! Any thoughts on the oncoming storm?

Double scram.

Okay. There you…

There you have it. Back to you.

Okay, I found some more supplies. Here.

Oh, good.

That one's cute, Bird.

They're so cute.

Ah, Snuffy, Big Bird. Hi.

- Hi, Elmo. -Hey, Elmo.

It's really busy in here.

Looks like lots of people are staying at Elmo's for the storm.

-Yeah. - Hey, Elmo.

Oh! Coming!

Hey, Abby, Rudy, have you seen a…

Abby, oh, I'm so scared.

Everything feels so different outside.

I know, brother. I know.

Rudy's right. Sesame Street does feel different today.

Hm. Elmo understands why Rudy's scared.

Can Elmo tell you something?

Elmo's scared too.

But Elmo needs to have courage.

Yeah, Elmo has to help his friend.

Elmo has an idea.

Uh, Rudy, Abby, do you want to help Elmo and Tango

with our special mission?

- - Huh? Special mission?

Yeah, Elmo's daddy needs us to find three things: star stickers…

-Uh-huh. -Oh.

…a sock and an ice cream scooper.

Elmo doesn't know why, but his daddy said that they're very important.

Whoa! This must be a really special mission, then.

It's okay.

Aw! But the storm…

-Is outside. -Mm-hm.

And we're inside.

-So let's start our special mission. -

To the kitchen!

Okay.

There you go, Radar.

-Hi. -Oh!

Hi, Snuffy!

Whoa! What are you three doing there?

-Well, we're on a special mission. -Oh?

-Wow. Why so many stuffies? -Yeah, what's with the stuffies, Snuffy?

Well, storms can be scary, you know.

And you never know when you might need a hug.

And I like to get mine from a fuzzy cabbage.

Aw.

Um, you said something about a special mission?

Yeah, that's right. We're looking for star stickers.

-They're very important. -

But we don't know why. Will you help us look?

-Oh, sure. -You betcha.

Great. Thank you.

- I'm gonna look over here. -Excuse me.

- -Whoa!

Oh, that wind is so loud and scary.

It is scary. Elmo's scared too.

But Elmo needs to have courage and help his friends.

Maybe with a fuzzy hug.

See? That wasn't the wind, Rudy. That was just dragon roaring for a hug.

Oh! A dragon! I like that.

Oh! Look! There's the stickers!

Yeah!

All right, come on. There's more to find on our special mission.

Yeah, that's right. We have to find a sock and an ice cream scooper.

And Elmo knows where to look next: Bert and Ernie's apartment. Yay!

Oh! Ernie, Bert, we need help with our…

special…

mission.

Yeah, that's right.

Bert, it's a really important mission, okay?

Rudy, we're over here.

-The animals stole our laundry. -Give me that.

-Why do you have all these animals? -Stop, you!

Well, we're taking care of them during the storm. See?

We're giving them food and water and a safe place to stay.

And they're giving us nothing but trouble.

Come back here!

Hey, look, look, look! A sock! Oh! Could we have that sock, Ernie?

Oh, sure you can.

What? Oh! If you can catch it.

- -

That thunder is so loud and scary.

- -The storm is getting scary.

But Elmo needs to have courage for his friends.

Hey, Rudy, look. The sound of the thunder is scary.

-Yeah. -But this isn't.

Grab an instrument, everybody.

-Huh? Whoa. -

Aw.

Well, look at that. Your idea helped the animals feel better.

-You helped me feel better too, Elmo. -

-Thank you. -Aw, you're welcome.

And…

we got the sock!

Yay!

Now, let's go back upstairs to Elmo's apartment.

Yeah, we still need to get the ice cream scooper.

-Oh, yeah, that's right. -Bye.

Bye now!

So, uh, you wanna play checkers, Bert?

Ernie, I'm over here.

Phew! It is really raining out there. Thanks so much for inviting me in.

Oh, happy to have you.

Oh, Sammy Squalls! In my apartment! Oh!

Tonight's top story: your place is lovely!

-Aw. -Oh! Thank you so much. Oh!

And this just in: Yuck.

Pleasure as always, Oscar.

Is there a good place for my go bag?

-You put it down right there. -Okay.

Good idea having a bag packed to take with you in case the storm gets worse

and you need to go quickly.

Oh, yes. Our go bag has all our most important stuff.

Phones, medicine, food, water.

Oh, yeah. That's kind of like my scram bag.

It has all my most important stuff:

-smelly trash. - Ugh!

Oh, wow. Okay.

Ms. Sammy Squalls, let's find you a less stinky place to rest, huh?

- Way ahead of you. -Oh!

-What are you doing? -Oh, we inflating this bed.

Yeah, just unfurl it here.

And me going to turn it on.

Oh, good. This is working.

-Oh, yeah. -Oh, it's working a little too well.

Okay, you can turn it off now.

-It's a little big. -Breaking news: I'm getting squished.

Oh, yeah. Nice and comfy. Yeah.

Help me.

Elmo, how'd your special mission go?

Well, we got the star stickers and the sock.

-Yeah. -But no ice cream scooper yet.

-Then you better keep lookin'. -Yeah.

You know, speaking of looking, has anybody seen my microphone?

It got lost when I got squished.

It might have fallen in my scram bag here.

-Let me check. -Yeah!

Let's see. We got an old hairbrush, an old tuba,

a dirty boot, an ice cream scooper.

Oh, an even dirtier boot.

Wait a minute, Oscar. We need that.

What, the dirtier boot?

I knew you couldn't be all bad, Elmo. Sure. Here.

No, no, no, the ice cream scoop.

Hey! We found all three items.

-Yes! We did it! -Oh! All right!

-Uh-oh. -Oh, no.

Oh, looks like the power's out.

Yeah.

Everyone all right?

Elmo?

Where are you, son?

Elmo's scared of the big storm, Daddy.

Elmo tried to have courage, but the storm is too scary.

Oh, here. Come on.
