It was a sunny day today, the air was sweet, and everything was A-okay. Mostly everyone on Sesame Street met up at Hooper's Store for Elmo's birthday. Gabi and Miles helped pass out treats to others. The Count was counting all of the ice cream bars. "One! Ice cream bar! Ha ha!" he exclaimed. Ernie snickered. "Gee, I wonder how many there are! There's gotta be enough for everybody, wouldn't you say?" The Count ignored him, and after a while, Ernie shrugged. He continued to eat his bowl of Neapolitan ice cream. Suddenly, the door slams open and Big Bird storms in, clearly upset. "Alright! Who snitched?" he demanded. He looked around to a now quiet group of friends. He waited for an answer. He sighed and raised his voice. "I said, who SNITCHED!" Gabi runs to Big Bird to calm him down. "Whoa, Big Bird, what's the problem?" Big Bird pulls his arm away. "Don't touch me, Gabi! I wanna know who fucking snitched on me!" Everyone gasped. Elmo spoke up. "Big Bird! Elmo says no swearing!" Big Bird grits his teeth. "Just move, Gabi!" Gabi throws her hands up apprehensively. "Okay, okay, okay!" Miles gets up. "Who ruffled your feathers, Big Bird?" Big Bird didn't find this funny. He slammed his fists against the table, scaring a lot of his friends. "Somebody better tell me who snitched, damn it!" Snuffy's eyes grew wide. "Whaddya talking about, Bird?" Big Bird's expression looked like he was fuming. "I can't mention it here!" He stamped a foot. Bert was getting fed up with Big Bird's behavior and stood up. "Big Bird, this is Elmo's birthday party. Please leave." Scattered 'ooh's emanated. Gabi came up to Miles "I think we need to get an adult," she suggested. Miles nodded. "It's about to get rough up in here. I can see where Alan is." Gabi gave Miles a look and crossed her arms. "I know you ain't gonna ask Alan to stop a fight." Miles rubbed his head. "Right, I'll get my dad." Miles proceeded to leave to get Gordon. Cookie Monster hides his face. "Me not like this," he uttered, probably moreso for the fact that there were no cookies at the party.
Big Bird looks at Miles leave then back at Bert. "See what you did!" Big Bird exclaimed. "You escalated everything!" Bert scoffed. "Me? You're being antagonistic!" Gabi nodded at Bert's use of a bigger word, as did others. Big Bird was not impressed. "You know what? Let's take this outside." Bert folded his arms. "You brought the beef in here, Big Bird." Gabi was nervous and wanted everyone to calm down, but she thought yelling would make it worse, as Big Bird was a lot bigger than her. She was not used to him being angry. At all. She felt like she was going to pee herself, that's how tense the room was. "I SAID let's take this outside. There's children in here." Bert threw up his arms. "But you came in here in a threatening manner!" Elmo wanted to cry. His birthday was ruined and not by Zoe this time. Suddenly, Bert rolled up his sleeves. Ernie whistled. He knew. It was time for the business. Unknowingly to (just about)everyone, Bert was pretty cut. He had muscley arms with a pigeon tattoo with a banner that said 'Bernice' on it. Bert was not playing. "Okay. Let's go outside then." Big Bird was taken aback a little and in the back of his mind thought he would get his ass handed to him, but he would see. "Let's go!" Big Bird shouted as he headed out the door with Bert headed out. Gabi shook her head. "Bert." He looks over. "It'll take a second." He closes the door behind him. Gabi frets. "I'm gonna get in so much trouble." She hugged herself and softly muttered "shit." Elmo looks up. "Elmo heard that." She softly pets Elmo. Telly sighs. "Wow, you guys. That was scary."
Oscar was in his trash can minding his business when he hears a bunch of shouting. He's irked and proceeds to pop out. Before he can yell 'scram!', he notices it's Big Bird and Bert cussing each other out. His eyes grow big and he actually smiles. "I think I may have some popcorn down here," he says while trying not to miss any action.
"I'll kick your ASS!" Big Bird yells at Bert. Bert is in formation, ready to swing and knock the giant bird off of his feet, but he was still taunting him with empty threats. "Come on, you rainbow striped piece of shit!" He kept trying to fake out Bert. "You pigeon lovin' motherfucker!" Bert kept his eyes on the prize. Oscar watched and was excited for once. He wanted to egg them on, but wanted everything to happen 'naturally'. Suddenly, a familiar face comes down the street on a skateboard. "SUPE-per GROVER!" He was coming toward them. Bewildered, Big Bird was startled and moved out of the way. "What the fuck!" Super Grover was losing control of his board and crashed offscreen. Bert ran to his aid. Big Bird took his chance and pimp slapped Bert while he was distracted. Bert fell over. Big Bird went in his face and yelled "HA! GOT EMMM! I bet you're the one who snitched!" He heard more footsteps. He looked. Sure enough, it was Gordon. And he was PISSED. "BIG BIRDDD..." he boomed. Big Bird felt that. He gulped and stood up slowly. He shook. Miles had his arms crossed. Gabi came over concerned. She had taken care of the rest of her muppet friends while this was happening. Big Bird's tone changed from tough guy to soft and fluffy. "Gordon." Bert slowly got up and rubbed his head. Grover got up, too. Oscar quickly went back into his can like he wasn't even there. Big Bird then looks at Miles. Gordon noticed this. "Yeah, Miles told on you, like he should have," Gordon makes clear. "b-but b-" Gordon cut him off. "Big Bird, why did you have to ruin Elmo's birthday party? And why did you try to fight Bert? Was this over Miles finding see-" Big Bird interrupted "NO". Gordon sighed and motioned everyone back into Hooper's. except for Big Bird. Miles helped Grover inside as Gabi assisted Bert.
Big Bird started to whimper. "I'm not in trouble again, am I?" Gordon crossed his arms. "Oh, you betcha. I gotta put up the baby gate and you gotta stay in your nest." Big Bird sighs. Gordon looks at him for a while.
"Today has been brought to you by the number 0, and the letter 'L' " he said while forming an L on his forehead while walking away.
Big Bird sulks and has learned his lesson.
