Elmo leads Rosita, Baby Bear and the rest of the party in a song in praise of the grandparents.

	SCENE 1 cont'd	Elmo is still upset his grandparents aren't coming, but tries to replace them by having Alan and Chris dress like them (as well as do their voices correctly). Rosita drags him off too, and Alan and Chris go change (though Chris finds himself enjoying the dress).
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Rosita introduces Elmo to her abuela, who sings a traditional Mexican song with them. They suddenly hear a strange beeping...
