 	SCENE 1 	Ruthie walks out onto Sesame Street from the Subway Station on her way to Finders Keepers. Several monsters are buzzing about chanting "Moon," including Elmo's cousin Mimsy, who asks Ruthie if she's the moon. Telly explains to Ruthie that they're all getting ready for the Monster Moon Watch, an annual event scheduled for that night on the rooftops. It's being held on Sesame Street this year in honor of Slimey the Worm, who is currently on a long trip to the moon. Telly leaves to find his tuba so he can play the Monster Moon Tune, while Mimsy appears looking for the moon again.
