Chapter 2: Yellow Means Slow

"I think she got it!" Peggy Jean smiled.

"Yes! Up, down. Open, close. In, out." Baby Bop smiled. "But my favorite opposites are stop and go! And I'm going outside to play stop and go now!"

"I'll go with you, Baby Bop!" Sally smiled.

"Me too." GoGo smiled.

"Have fun!" Lucy waved.

"At least she'll be out of my hair." Linus smiled.

"Why don't you join us, Linus?" asked Sally.

Linus groaned with disgust before hiding under his blanket. "I'm not here." Linus said.

"Fine!" Sally huffed as she followed Baby Bop And GoGo outside.

"Now, what would you like to play?" Barney asked Peggy Jean.

"What does everyone else wanna play?" asked Peggy Jean. "Tag? Hide and seek? Jacks?"

"Well, I really like to play dress up!" Angela smiled.

"Great idea!" Patty Swanson smiled as they made their way to the dress up closet.

"What should we dress up as?" Lucy asked.

"Hmm..." Charlie Brown began.

"I'll be a ballerina!" Peggy Jean smiled.

"And I'll be an astronaut." Marcie smiled.

"If you can stay awake long enough to get the costume on." Patty Swanson teased.

Charlie Brown sighed. "I'll jut be a dinosaur."

Snoopy smiled as he found his Joe Cool sweater and sunglasses.

Back outside, Baby Bop, Sally, and GoGo were looking for for the right person to stop. They then spotted Officers Phillips. "Stop, Officer Phillips!" Baby Bop smiled.

"Why certainly, Baby Bop." Officer Phillips smiled.

"Wanna know what we're doing?" asked GoGo?

"We're telling people when to stop and when to go." Sally explained.

"As a park police officer, I tell people when to stop and go a lot, so it's nice to have some helpers today." Officer Phillip's smiled.

"Oh goody!" Baby Bop giggled. "You can go now!" Officer Phillip's began to walk again. "Stop! Okay, go!" Baby Bop then stopped her in her tracks again. "Stop! This is fun!"

"Uh Baby Bop, I think you should slow down." Sally whispered.

"Yeah, before you get us a ticket." GoGo whispered.

"Uh-oh." Baby Bop said.

Back inside the Caboose, Barney emerged from the curtain, wearing a crown.

"Nice idea, Lucy." Peggy said.

"He can help me rule my queendom." Lucy beamed.

"Still awake, Marcie?" Shermy asked as Marcie put on her space helmet, to which she nodded.

"How do I look, Barney?" Charlie Brown asked as he was in a costume that looked a lot like Barney.

"You look super dee duper, Charlie Brown!" Barney smiled. "Just like me!"

Snoopy giggled, putting on a t-shirt that resembled Charlie's. "Look at Snoopy!" Linus exclaimed, tying his blanket around his neck like a cape.

"Good grief." Charlie Brown sighed with a smile. "Nice impression, pal."

"Is everybody ready?" Barney asked.

"Ready!" the kids exclaimed.

"Then let's do it!" Linus jumped for joy.

"Do what?" asked Peggy Jean.

"Just follow us." Lucy winked.

Barney:

A big parade of costumes is coming your way.

It's some much fun it kind of makes me want to say

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10."

Yes, costumes can be fun no matter where or when.

Mario and Franklin:

You can wear a cowboy hat; Swing a rope in the air!

Barney:

Pretend to be a king with a crown that you wear

Angela and Peggy Jean:

You can be a ballerina - That's always fun!

Barney:

The big parade of costumes is for everyone!

Barney, Barney's friends, and Peanuts Gang:

A big parade of costumes is coming your way.

It's some much fun it kind of makes me want to say

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10."

Yes, costumes can be fun no matter where or when.

Gianna and Patty Swanson:

You can be your favorite rag doll and play the whole day through!

Jamal and Linus:

Or you can be a pilot; flying in the sky so blue!

Barney:

Or you can be a scarecrow; dancin' in a field!

Or be a mighty king, with a royal shield!

Barney, Barney's friends, and Peanuts Gang:

"That was fun!" Peggy Jean giggled. "What do you think, Marcie?" She then saw Marcie laying down. "Marcie?" Peggy then tapped on the space helmet and heard a snore.

"Yep, she's asleep." Lucy grinned.

"Should I wake her up?" Peggy asked.

"Let's see if you can." Sally giggled, as Peggy Jean grabbed the radio and looked for heavy rock.

Lucy gulped at what Peggy Jean was up to. "What kind of devil are you? Doing this without the amplifier?"

"Oh, hey Sally. Back so soon?" Eudora asked.

"Yeah. GoGo and Baby Bop are still playing." Sally giggled. "I just wanted to be with my Sweet Babboo."

"FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME, I AM NOT YOUR SWEET BABBOO!" Linus shouted.

"We get it. No need to shout." Gianna shuddered. Lucy then plugged in the radio for Peggy. The red haired girl then turned on the radio, but Marcie would not wake up.

"She must be a heavy sleeper." Peggy commented.

"We'll wake her up in a few." Charlie Brown promised.

"I wonder when GoGo and Baby Bop are gonna head back in." Linus said, before seeing the former rush in. "WHO'S PLAYING HEAVY ROCK?!" GoGo shouted.

"Peggy." Lucy giggled.

"Oh. Why?"

"We're bored." Linus said.

"Where's Baby Bop?" Peggy Jean asked, before seeing the toddler's blanket and placing it on Marcie.

"Playing by herself." GoGo shrugged.

Back outside, that was what Baby Bop was doing. "Stop, go. Stop, go." Baby Bop sighed. "There's no one to play stop and go with." She then spotted Bingo coming by. "Oh, Bingo! Stop!" The dog then stopped in his tracks. "Good doggy! Go!" Bingo then moved again.

"Stop! Good Bingo. Go!"

Bingo then ran off. "Oh, you're getting tired of playing stop and go? Okay bye bye!" She then spotted a bird. "Oh look! A birdie!"

Baby Bop:

Once I saw a little bird come hop, hop, hop.

So I cried, little bird won't you stop, stop, stop?

And was going to the window to say, How do you do?

But he shook his little tail, and far away he flew.

Back inside the caboose, Marcie was snuggled with Webster on the couch. "So, now what should we play?" Peggy Jean asked.

"How about freeze dancing?" Barney suggested.

"I LOVE THAT GAME!" Eudora cheered, dancing around.

"Alright. DJ Cool is in the caboose, then." Snoopy thought, putting music on the radio and blaring it up to the max, but forgetting about the amplifiers and heavy rock CD. "YIKES!"

"SNOOPY!" Lucy shouted, huffing.

"Talk about a heavy sleeper." Peggy Jean giggled. "Marcie didn't even flinch."

Linus chuckled a little, before unplugging the amplifiers from the radio and trying to find a better CD to put on.

With a laugh, Snoopy tossed his DJ Cool hat away, which landed on the hat rack and woke Marcie almost instantly. "How in the world?" Peggy Jean asked.

"I won't ask if you don't ask." Lucy teased.

"Nap well?" Peggy giggled.

"I wasn't sleeping. Just resting my eyes." Marcie fibbed as Snoopy rolled his eyes and explained the activity.

"Okay, are you ready?" Barney asked as he stood by the radio.

"Ready!" The kids smiled. Barney then started the music and they all started to dance.

"Stop!" Barney said, And the kids and Snoopy froze in place. "You all look very silly!"

"Awwww. Shucks." Lucy giggled.

"Okay, Go!" Barney smiled and they all started to dance again. "Stop!" They then froze in place. "Good job everybody!"

"Even if we can't stop, I'd like to play another game." Peggy Jean smiled.

"Same here, gang!" GoGo grinned.

"Like baseball!" Charlie Brown smiled.

"Or hopscotch!" Gianna smiled.

"Or jump rope." Lucy smiled.

"Or reading." Marcie suggested.

"Marcie!" the rest of the kids (sans Peggy Jean) exclaimed.

"Well, we could play them all!" Barney smiled. "Because whether wiggling my head, tails, or toes, it's fun to keep moving and stay on the go!"

Barney:

There are lots of different ways our bodies move. (Bodies move!)

They can twist and bend and shake and really groove. (Really groove!)

If you're ready now to start, let's try to find a part

That will do the things old Barney says to do.

"Wave your arms up high!" Barney smiled as the kids did just that. "Now, wiggle your fingers!"

"Hop up and down! Now, run in place! Now, stop!" Barney smiled.

Barney, Barney's Friends, and Peanuts Gang:

There are lots of different ways our bodies move. (Bodies move!)

They can twist and bend and shake and really groove. (Really groove!)

Now we've had a lot of fun. It's a shame that we're all done.

But we'd like to play this game again real soon.
