The breeze was warm, the sun was bright, and the scent of flowers was in the air. It seemed like nothing could ruin this day for Snuffy. Nothing that is, until... Jay Jay: Snuffy! Tracy: Hey, Snuffy! Snuffy: Oh, hi, Jay Jay. Hi, Tracy. Tracy: Are you ready for your first day of school tomorrow? Snuffy: (jittering in place, freaking out) Ohhhh noooo!!! Why did you remind me?! Jay Jay: What's the matter, little guy? Tomorrow will be a great day for you! You're gonna be going to the Michael O. Tarry School—that's where Tracy and I went when we were little! Snuffy: Bu-bu...but I'm scared of going! Jay Jay: (a bit teasingly) Is that what's bothering you? Tracy: Don't worry. Lots of kids are a little scared of their first day of school. Snuffy: I-I'm a lot scared. What if I don't like the teacher? Jay Jay: But you will! Snuffy: (panting) W-what if the teacher doesn't like me? Tracy: Of course, the teacher will like you. Snuffy: (completely freaked out) A-and what if the work is t-too hard...and I don't know anybody...and I miss you guys... (stammering) and I-and-and-and I-and-and- Jay Jay: (interrupting) Hey, little buddy, hold on before you blow a gasket. Tracy: Listen, Snuffy. School is fun, and the teacher and other kids help you with the stuff you don't know. Listen. Tracy: Wouldn't you like to learn to say your ABC's? Jay Jay: And learn to read just what you please? Tracy: Wouldn't you like to know what makes a river flow? Jay Jay: And how a hive of honey comes from bees? Jay Jay: Wouldn't you like to find out how a planet spins around? Tracy: Or how a single letter makes a sound? Jay Jay, Tracy: If you'd like some special friends Then, there's a place I'd recommend It's the very merry Michael O. Tarry School Tracy: Wouldn't you like to learn to paint a bright, blue sky? (Jay Jay darts from one corner of the screen to another.) Jay Jay: And how a heavy hummingbird can fly? Snuffy: What if I'm scared? Tracy: What if it's fun? Snuffy: What if I'm slow? Jay Jay: What if you won? (They gradually float backwards to their original positions.) Jay Jay, Tracy: At the very merry Michael O. Tarry Ask someone who's been there already Very merry Michael O. Tarry School Tracy: It's so cool! Jay Jay, Tracy: That's the very merry Michael O. Tarry School Tracy: So, there's really nothing to be afraid of tomorrow, Snuffy. It'll be fun, we promise. Jay Jay: Yeah. Best thing for you to do now is get a good night's sleep so you're ready for your first day of school. Snuffy: Well...if you say so. Narrator: That night, Snuffy tried to follow Jay Jay and Tracy's advice to get a good night's sleep. Narrator: But poor Snuffy didn't sleep well. He worried and worried about the first day of school. Then, suddenly, he had an idea. Snuffy: I know what to do, and I'll do it first thing in the morning. Jay Jay: (singsong) Hey, Snuffy! Time to rise and shine! It's your big day, guy! (realizing, normal tone) Snuffy? * All lines marked with one asterisk (*) will be delivered in singsong form from this point on. * Tracy: Hey, where is he? * Jay Jay: Hey, Snuffy! * Jay Jay, Tracy: Come out, come out wherever you are! * Tracy: Time for school, Snuffy! Herky: (from o.s.) Hey, ever-r-rybody! (He lowers into view before them.) What's up? Jay Jay: We can't find Snuffy! Herky: What? Tracy: He's gotta be around here, somewhere. * Tracy: Snuffy? Oh, Snuffy! Narrator: Where was Snuffy? (Overhead shot of the airport; the three kids search all around.) * Jay Jay, Tracy: Snuffy! Herky: (looking through the observation tower's glass windows) Hey, Snuff! Ar-r-re ya in ther-r-re? * Tracy: Where are you?! * Jay Jay: Snuffy! This is no time to play Hide and Seek! We've got to get to school! Jay Jay: I don't see him anywhere, Tracy. Tracy: I wonder if he's hiding because he's afraid of school. Jay Jay: I didn't even think of that, but where could he be? (Herky hovers over to them.) Herky: Don't think he went to Tar-r-rytown, do ya? Tracy: Well, he could of. Maybe we'd better look for him there.
