The Adventures of Sesame Street
#7. Dopey and Joe
A bright sunny day on Sesame Street, well not so bright at Elmo's house there was actually a small rain cloud over his house. Which just happened to be raining, just over Elmo's house. And on Sesame Street this means that Elmo is sad :(. I wonder why Elmo is so sad? Sailor Moon had noticed this rain cloud and decided to go over to Elmo's house to see what is the matter.
"Elmo, what's the matter?" asked Sailor Moon.
"Elmo misses Dorothy" Elmo started to cry.
"Oh Elmo, forget about her! Dorothy did something very bad, and you deserve a better fish then her" Sailor Moon expressed her true feelings.
"But…but…DOROTHY!" Elmo burst into tears again.
"Oh boy this is going to be hard" Sailor Moon shook her head in disappointment.
The next day Grover went over to Elmo's house to see if he wanted to play super heroes. But unfortunately Elmo was still under the weather, literally. The rain cloud is still over his tiny house in the middle of Sesame Street, which doesn't mean it's a good sign of Elmo feeling better.
"Why are you so sad?" asked Grover in his annoying voice.
"Elmo is sad because Elmo has no goldfish" that's been what his problem is? Just not having a silly goldfish? Well then we need to get him a new goldfish! Don't we Grover?
"Well does Elmo want a new goldfish?"
"Elmo wants a new goldfish, because Elmo is lonely" Grover decided to take action. He dragged Elmo out of his house and of course the little rain cloud followed them. This is the first time Elmo has been out of the house since Dorothy went off to jail. So Grover pulling Elmo behind him marched right up to Big Bird and said:
"Big Bird!"
"Yes Grover? Oh Elmo you're out of your house, and it looks like you brought the rain cloud with you" said Big Bird kind of annoyed because he doesn't like getting wet, so he pulled out his big red umbrella.
"That's we're here. Elmo is so sad because he's lonely. So he wants a new goldfish" explained Grover.
"Well then maybe we should go to the pet store" said Big Bird getting excited. So excited it's almost orgasmic, if only he had a you know what.
"But we don't have a pet store on Sesame Street" Grover shrugs. Elmo started crying; since he was hoping to get a new goldfish is the next hour or so.
"Well then, I think it's time to go into the BIG CITY!" echo echo echo…. Yes it echoed.
"You don't mean?"
"Yes Grover…the BIG CITY" once again it echoed.
"Well how are we going to get there?" asked Grover.
"We walk" said Big Bird with a big smile!11one.
"WALK!" Elmo and Grover shouted at the same time.
"Well how else are we supposed to get there?" explained Big Bird. So off they went to the BIG CITY echo echo echo. Unfortunately the BIG CITY echo echo echo…is in Canada, and they are not. About 5 minutes later Elmo started complaining about his feet hurting.
"Elmo's feet hurt. Are Big Bird, Grover, and Elmo there yet?" Elmo is big on complaining if you haven't noticed by now.
"No Elmo, we've only been walking for 5 minutes" said Big Bird annoyed. Two hours later…
"No Elmo for the last time we're not there!"
"Well Big Bird doesn't have to yell!" Elmo started crying.
"What do you expect when this is the millionth time you've asked" oh no I hope this isn't going to be another bad day for Big Bird. Just then a car came by and stopped.
"Can I help yeah folks?" the young man said with a drawl. By the looks of it he had tons of room in his truck if it wasn't for the chickens.
"BOCK!" screamed one of the chickens. It startled the young travelers.
"Well…" began Big Bird. "We're headed to the BIG CITY (echo echo echo) and maybe you could give us a ride?"
"Well sure! I'm headed there myself, see if I can get rid of these pesky chickens" Elmo, Grover, and Big Bird climbed into the back of the truck with the so called pesky chickens.
The next day the chicken filled truck stopped in the BIG CITY echo echo echo.
"We're here!" said the young man who decided to give them a lift. "You guys still back there?" he got out of the truck to notice that they were fast asleep. Wait a second it only takes a day to get to Canada from Arizona?
"Oh sorry we must have fallen asleep" said Big Bird.
"S'alright. So where are you folks headin' now?"
"We're going to the pet store" said Grover excitedly.
"Oh well I'll be darned that's where we are right now. Well let's hurry up inside before they close"
"The pet store can close?" asked Elmo.
"Yes Elmo of course Pet Stores can close" Big Bird has been annoyed with Elmo ever since the first time he asked if they were there yet. He's just lucky that a nice stranger was able to give them a lift. But I'm still trying to figure out how it only takes a day to get to Canada from Arizona. The four of them went into the pet store, Elmo ran to the back where the kept the goldfish. He stared into one of the tanks searching for one, but there was none. An employee came out of the back fixing their hair.
"May I help you with something?" asked the employee.
"Well we're looking for a new goldfish for this young lad" said Big Bird referring to Elmo. "But you don't seem to have any left?"
"Oh yeah. Sorry about that we've been having a lot of fish buyers these days. But we do have a dwarf with a pet fish?" they sell dwarfs at a pet store? "Unfortunately the dwarf does not talk so it has the goldfish to talk for him" explained the employee.
"Oh can Elmo have that? Can Elmo have that?" Elmo was so excited! Who can be excited about getting a dwarf is beyooond me.
"Well I guess" shrugged Big Bird.
"YIPPEE!" Elmo started jumping up and down. The employee left into the back to go get the dwarf and his goldfish. She came back about 1 minute later with a little midget holding a fish bowl.
"Elmo, this is Dopey and his goldfish Joe" said the employee. While Big Bird followed the employee to the cash, Elmo stopped jumping up and down and went to go shake Dopey's hand.
"Elmo is happy to meet Dopey" Dopey put down Joe's fish bowl, and pulled up his droopy sleeves to shake Elmo's hand. From then on they were GREAT friends.
"I'm assuming Dopey is happy to meet you too Elmo" said Joe from on the floor. Big Bird came back and said:
"So it's all taken care of, except the fact about getting home"
"That reminds me…" just then Dopey sneezed interrupting Joe, then all of a sudden they started teleporting.
"Where are we?" asked Grover.
"We're in a time warp. Every time Dopey sneezes we teleport so now we just need to figure out where to go"
"Well obviously home!" said Big Bird angrily. The next thing they knew they were at Elmo's house.
"Wow, it really works" explained Grover surprised. And that's the story on how Elmo got a new goldfish, even though he got a teleporting dwarf who has a talking goldfish, Elmo is still very happy.
"THE END!" Elmo what f+ are you doing? It's not the end of the story yet! Aw come on don't start crying on me now. Fine just run away see if I care!
Back in the BIG CITY echo echo echo, the young gentleman, well I can't call him a gentleman or young well the guy who gave them a lift comes out of a beer store.
"Hey where'd everybody go?" he questioned the situation. Now it's the end!
