Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Telly welcomes the viewer as he struggles to write the letter X. Maria shows him how to make a proper one and assures Telly that with practice, he'll be much better at writing.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Telly muses that one day he'll be able to write the whole alphabet when he hears a semi-heavenly voice singing. Suddenly, a puff of smoke appears (which also causes Oscar's furnace to explode) and Telly's Fairy Godmonster arrives! She turns her magic wand into a magic pencil that can write anything; he uses it to write the entire alphabet perfectly in seconds. She poofs herself up, up and away which sets off some more smoke to Oscar's delight.

 	SCENE 2 	Maria is impressed with the multiple alphabets Telly has written, but doesn't buy his "magic pencil" story. He's upset that the pencil tip has been worn down when Maria points out there's a sharpener at the Fix-It Shop and Telly rushes over.
 	SCENE 2 cont'd	Inside the shop, Luis takes a call from Oscar about his furnace and agrees to fix it in a week. Telly sharpens his pencil and frets when it's shorter than before, which as Luis explains is what happens when pencils get sharpened. He then asks Telly to relay to Maria he's in the basement when she arrives, but Telly doesn't want to wait that long. His Fairy Godmonster re-appears but explains that she can't send the message; only Telly can see/hear her. She does point out that the magic pencil can help him write notes, and Telly writes one for Maria.
 	SCENE 2 cont'd	Telly runs out just as Maria comes in and sees the note. She doesn't understand how Telly has become good at writing so fast and goes to show Luis. Telly's Fairy Godmonster comments to the viewer how she's enjoying how the proceedings are going and attempts to leave in a puff of smoke. When she has trouble poofing away she decides to walk, needing the exercise.

 	SCENE 5 	Telly's pencil lasts just long enough for him to write "THE END," meaning he's finished his story! He calls out Luis and Maria to show them, but is upset that he won't be able to write anymore. His Fairy Godmonster appears (unseen by the others) and assures him with all the practicing he's done today, he won't need a magic pencil anymore. To prove it, Luis provides him with a marker and Telly successfully writes his name. His Fairy Godmonster takes her leave and, from beyond, bids Maria and Luis farewell, which only they can hear.
