Jay Jay: Oh, it's just a small part of my Parade of Lights. You'll get to see the whole parade, tonight. Snuffy: Why are you making a Parade of Lights? Jay Jay: To celebrate the first night of winter, Snuffy. I wanna do it as a gift to all my friends and the folks of Tarrytown. Snuffy: What's your Parade of Lights going to look like?

Jay Jay: Everyone from all around Will be glad they came and stayed [Yeah!] Jay Jay: For my amazing, blazing light parade Jay Jay, Snuffy: An amazing, blazing light parade (Fireworks begin to go off in the night sky.) An amazing, blazing light parade Tonight's the night Jay Jay: (spoken) Just wait, you'll see Snuffy: Yeah! (Widen to frame Jay Jay.) That sounds supersonic! Can I be a part of the parade lights, too? Jay Jay: Of course, you can! Come with me, and I'll show you what you can do! Narrator: So, Jay Jay told Snuffy what he wanted him to do. And while Snuffy went off to do it, Jay Jay visited everybody else— Narrator: —to see how their part in the Winter Parade was coming along. Jay Jay: Big Jake? Savannah? I came to check on you two in your parade costumes. Savannah: (from inside) We're comin' out, sugar. Savannah: And you can see for yourself. Jay Jay: Wow! (Close-up of them; he continues o.s.) You look great! Big Jake We'll look even better when it's dark out tonight. Savannah: Jay Jay, I think your Winter Parade is goin' to be the best gift ever to everybody. Big Jake: Me too! Jay Jay: (from o.s.) Thanks! (Back to him.) Okay, now I'm going to check on the rest of my parade. (He leaves.) I'll see ya later. Big Jake: Bye, now!

Jay Jay: (from o.s.) Great! (Overhead shot.) Okay, I have to go check on everybody else, I'll see ya later! (He exits.) Tuffy: Bye! Evan: Bye! Narrator: Now, it was time to see what Herky and Old Oscar were up to. Oscar: Well, Herky, my boy, those are all the chicken feathers we could find. Herky: Oh yeah, ought to be enough. Jay Jay: Hi, guys. How's it goin'? Herky: Jay Jay, we gather-r-red all the loose chicken feather-r-rs in Farmer Dale's chicken coop. Oscar: And, there they are. Jay Jay: Oh, great! Wanna give our plan a try? Herky: Sur-r-re thing. Okay, Oscar-r-r, let's get into our-r-r positions! Oscar: (from o.s.) Righty-o! Oscar: Okay, Herky, are you ready? Herky: R-r-ready! Oscar: Here I goooooo!!! Herky: My tur-r-rn! (He leans forward a bit.) Oscar: There you go, jay jay. Oscar: (from o.s.) Instant snow, just in time for your Winter Parade! Jay Jay: Wow, it looks just like the real thing! (He giggles a bit.) And the feathers tickle too, Thanks! Oscar: (chuckles) You're welcome! (Wide shot.) Herky: Our pleasur-r-re! After all, you can't have a Winter-r-r Parade without snow! Narrator: With his snowstorm all checked out, it was time to see how Snuffy was doing with his part of the parade. Jay Jay: Hi there, Snuffy. How's it going? Snuffy: Hi, Jay Jay. (Jay Jay meets up alongside.) I...I guess everything's okay. See? Snuffy: I did what you asked—I drew a sky picture just like I always do. Jay Jay: Oh, wonderful, Snuffy! Snuffy: But... (Head-on view of them.) I-I don't get it. If your parade is happening at night— (Close-up.) —who's going to see my picture in the dark sky? And what does my sky picture have to do with lights, anyway? (Widen to frame Jay Jay.) Jay Jay: There's Tracy with your answer right now. Snuffy: Hey, she brought back the lightning bugs from Lightning Bug Lake! Tracy: Okay, guys, there's the picture! Now go do your thing! Snuffy: (from o.s.) Look! The lightning bugs are lighting up my picture! (They flit away; the picture disappears.) Tracy: (from o.s.) That was Jay Jay's plan. (Close-up.) And when we do it again tonight, everybody will be able to see your beautiful sky picture all lit up for the parade! (Wide shot of the trio.) Jay Jay's Parade of Lights is going to be the best parade, ever. Snuffy: Thanks, Jay Jay. You're right, you're giving us the best present ever. Jay Jay: Ah, you guys deserve it for being good friends to me all year long. Narrator: Yes, Jay Jay couldn't have been more happy with his gift to his friends and the folks of Tarrytown. Narrator: But a strange thing happened that night on the first day of winter— (It starts to snow heavily.) —winter actually arrived— (Snow piles up all around.) —and it came as a big blizzard. Narrator: It got windy and cold. And then— (The interior lights go out.) —there was a power failure in Tarrytown, and all the lights went out. Narrator: This was bad for everybody, but for Jay Jay, it was a nightmare. Jay Jay: (groans) I can't believe it. Why did it have to do this tonight of all nights?! Tracy: I'm sorry, Jay Jay. I know how much you wanted to put on that parade. Herky: But without electr-r-ricity, how can we have a Par-r-rade of Light? Ther-r-re's no power-r-r, and— Snuffy: (cutting in) And—and—and it's much too cold for the lightning bugs to come out! Jay Jay: (dejectedly, exiting) I know. Narrator: Jay Jay was unhappy that he couldn't give his gift to his friends to show them how much he loved them. Snuffy: Poor Jay Jay. Tracy: I wish I knew what we could do for him. Herky: Well, I guess we won't be needing the fake snow after-r-r all. There's plenty of the r-r-real stuff to go ar-r-round. Tracy: (gasps in realization) What did you say? Herky: I said, ther-r-re's plenty of the r-r-real snow now, that it's all cold and icy out. Tracy: That's it! Snuffy: W-w-what's it ? Tracy: The answer to Jay Jay's parade problem. Come on, follow me! Narrator: Tracy gathered everybody together, and explained her plan for saving Jay Jay's parade. Big Jake: But I don't understand. How can we have a Parade of Lights if there are no lights? (Cut to the children.) Tracy: By changing it to a Parade of Ice—and there's plenty of that. Snuffy: Ice? How can you have a Parade of Ice? Savannah: (from o.s.) Wait. (Cut to her and Big Jake.) I see what Tracy's gettin' at. and, sugar, that's one great idea! (Back to the children.) Tracy: Thanks, Savannah. Narrator: Tracy told her plan for a Parade of Ice— (Ground level view of outside; they leave one by one.) —and then, everybody went off to make it happen. Narrator: It was sometime later that night, when Jay Jay was awakened from his sleep. Tracy: Jay Jay, wake up. Jay Jay: Huh? (More stammering.) What? (He backs up a little; more stammering) Oh, Tracy, what's up? Tracy: I have something to show you. Jay Jay: W-w-what is it? Tracy: You have to follow me and see, come on! Narrator: Tracy led Jay Jay out onto the runway. And there, he was in for a big surprise. Jay Jay: (gasps) I don't believe it! Narrator: Standing there in the snow, were huge sculptures made out of ice and snow. All others: SURPRISE!!! Brenda: See, Jay Jay? Your parade can happen, after all. But, it's not a light parade anymore, it's an ice parade! Snuffy: And it was all Tracy's idea. Jay Jay: Who made all these sculptures? Tracy: We all did— (Close-up of her on the end of this.) —just so you could have a parade after all. Narrator: To his surprise, each and every one of them showed Jay Jay— (Cut to the sculptures.) —doing things with one of his friends. (Close-up of the first sculpture: the one of Jay Jay and Snuffy flying near the mountains.) Like spending time with Snuffy— (The second one: Jay Jay and Big Jake camping.) —or camping with Big Jake— (The last one: Jay Jay and Brenda with the crates.) —or counting crates for Brenda. (Overview of the airport.) Yes, the whole Ice Parade was a tribute to their favorite little jet plane, Jay Jay. Jay Jay: But... (Close-up.) But... (gasps slightly) Gosh, they're all about me! Brenda: (chuckles) That's just the point, Jay Jay. Each one of them is a reminder that you don't have to give us one big gift at the end of the year, because all year long you give a little bit of yourself each and every day. Snuffy: (from o.s.) Yup. (Cut to him.) So this Ice Parade is our gift to you. Jay Jay: Oh, wow. Thanks, everybody. Tracy: (from o.s.) Okay, now! (Cut to her on the end of this.) Let's bring this parade to Tarrytown, so everybody can enjoy it. Snuffy: Yippee! We're going to get to have a parade after all! (Tuffy jitters in place excitedly.) Tuffy: That's t-t-t-tow-rrific! Narrator: So that's what they did, and all the people of Tarrytown came out— (Cut to Savannah, Evan and Oscar, also watching the parade.) —to witness this beautiful Ice Parade— (Back to the other end of the line.) shining in the bright moonlight. All: And everyone from all around Found some snow and played Tracy: And made some sculptures for an ice parade Jay Jay: For me Tuffy: What a nice pawade Jay Jay: For me Big Jake: What a nice parade All: And what a wonderful night Narrator: So that's how Jay Jay realized that giving— (Close-up of a smiling Jay Jay.) —is something you do all year long— (Cut to Savannah/Evan/Oscar.) —to show friends how much you love them. (Street level, framing the other spectators.) Something Jay Jay had always done— (Back to Jay Jay, who aims one big smile at the camera.) —every day of the year.
