Thursday, March 16. Arthur, Francine, Buster, and Marina met up again at the Sugar Bowl that afternoon, but without Alex, Murray and Ovejita.
Buster: Are you guys okay with us together, despite the fact that we are both from different schools?
Arthur: Two days ago, I did see you two blushing a bit before you came in here, before I knew what was happening.
Francine: Also, you two kind of look cute together. (giggles)
Arthur: What Francine means is, yes, absolutely.
Buster and Marina hugged each other with happiness.
Buster: I am wondering with Alex, Murray, and Ovejita are.
Arthur: Maybe there still working on the campaign.
Francine: Let's go to Alex's house and see what's happening.
The four kids then leave the Sugar Bowl, then they make their way to Alex's house. Meanwhile, Alex was in his room thinking about what to do about the situation of how they could get a big crowd of townsfolk
at the berry farm. Just then, Murray and Ovejita came over to see him.
Murray: Alex, we were worried about you.
Alex: Sorry, Murray, Ovejita, I just have a bit of stress, wondering if this is going to work out. I asked for a day off today from working to be involved with this campaign.
Outside, the gang were just walking up to Alex's house. Before they knocked on his door, they were listening in on the conversation. Ovejita then does something she
hasn't done once before on the show Sesame Street: speak English.
Ovejita: Alex, things will be okay. I believe all the berries in the farm will be sold by Sunday night!
Both Murray and Alex were surprised to hear Ovejita speak English.
Murray: Ovejita, why happened you spoke English before?
Ovejita: Because Murray, it wasn't really until Rosita took me to an English class at her school. After several classes, I have been speaking English fluently. (looks at Alex) Yes, us kids also do school stuff during filming on Sesame Street.
Alex: I'm just worried that things could go wrong.
Ovejita: I think with me and Murray at the farm, things could go right!
Murray: Ovejita is right about this, Alex. I think you'll be very surprised indeed...
Just then, everybody heard a knock on the door. Alex opened it, and there stood the gang. He saw the gang at the door.
Alex: I assume you all were standing there the whole time, and overheard our conversation, did you? (Everybody nods)
Buster: Yes, we did.
Marina: I think Murray and Ovejita are correct. I suggest we have them appear at the farm as special guests people would meet!
Alex thought that because both Murray and Ovejita were celebrities, he could understand where Marina was coming from...
Alex: (exclaims) I think you might have the best idea. Marina! We can have a special meet-and-greet for my two famous friends at the farm!
Marina: Terrific!
Marina held out her hand to Alex, and he shakes her hand.
Marina: Now, you don't know me enough yet. I'm not just blind, I'm also an excellent soccer player and a gymnast.
Buster: She also can do yoga poses perfectly.
Marina: (blushing) Awww... thanks Buster. Alex, I would like to challenge your friends to a soccer game with me and my friends.
Alex: Well, I don't have to go to work today. I guess we can play one game.
Marina: I brought my soccer home with a beeper in it. This is so I can hear where the ball is.
Ovejita: Vamanos! ("Come on!") Let's go!
The kids where to Alex's yard to play soccer: It was Alex's team (himself, Murray and Ovejita) vs. Marina's team. (herself, Arthur, Francine, & Buster) Despite being blind, Marina showed Alex and his team that she was a excellent soccer player. On the last play, the score was tied 3-3. Marina did a terrific move where she faked out Alex, and scored the winning goal for her team.
Murray: I guess we need more practice before we play another game.
Ovejita: Si, Murray. ("Yes, Murray.")
Alex: That was a good game, guys. Now to have to get to the berry farm for work. We've got a big weekend coming up, because this is our last chance to save the berry farm. I hope you all get a good night's rest tonight, because we'll need it.
While Alex went off to work, the others went home to prepare their plans and work hard to keep the berry farm from closing down.
