(This time, the title appears on an animated cake, with 12 candles. The words "volume 12" appears on the lower left corner of the cake)
(Susan and Gordon are getting ready for a party)
Gordon: Oh, hi. Welcome to the party.
Susan: We're so glad that you could make it.
Gordon: We are going to have fun today. There'll be plenty of food, and lots of fun.
Susan: I just hope that everybody that we invited can make it.
Gordon: Oh, I'm sure that they will.

(Big Bird is in front of his doors)
Big Bird: (to audience) Oh, hi there. Well, I am ready for the party, and I am about to come!
(mysterious music plays as Mr. Snuffleupagus shows up)
Mr. Snuffleupagus: Oh, hello, Bird.
Big Bird: Hi, Snuffy. I am going to a party. Say, would you like to cme?
Mr. Snuffleupagus: Oh, of course I would.
Big Bird: Great!
Mr. Snuffleupagus: But I don't have an invitation. What if the party hosts get angry because somebody they didn't invite came to the party?
Big Bird: Oh, gee. I never thought of that. Well, I'll go and ask if you can come. You stay right there, I'll be back. (leaves)
Mr. Snuffleupagus: I hope that they have a spaghetti cake at the party.

(Big Bird come to the party. Maria, David, and Luis are already there)
Gordon: Hi, Big Bird. Make yourself at home.
Big Bird: Thanks.
David: Have some milk.
Big Bird: Well, Gordon, I have a question.
Gordon: Okay, Big Bird.
Big Bird: Is it okay if Mr. Snuffleupagus comes to the party?
Gordon: Mr. Snuffleupagus?
Susan: You mean your imaginary friend?
Maria: Just what we need. An imaginary party guest.
Big Bird: But Mr. Snuffleupagus is not....
Gordon: Look, Big Bird, if he is real like you say he is, then he can come.
Big Bird: Thanks.
Gordon: But only if he is real.
Big Bird: Oh, he's real, and he will come. (leaves)
(cut to the following skits: Cookie Monster goes on a diet, a short kid tries to use a tall water fountain, and The Word Family Song: Op)
(Big Bird comes outside of 123 Sesame Street to get Mr. Snuffleupagus)
Big Bird: I've got some good news, Snuffy. You can come!
Mr. Snuffleupagus: Oh, that's good. (sneezes) But I can't come to the party. I am starting to feel sick.
Big Bird: Oh, that's too bad.
Mr. Snuffleupagus: Than ks, anyway, bird. (leaves, and sneezes)
Big Bird: Well, I guess I'll just have to attend the party without him.
(cut to the following sketches: Ernie writes an alphabet story, and The Zizzy Zoomers)
(The doorbell rings)
Susan: I'll get it.
(Susan opens the doro. The Count coems in)
The Count: Greetings! I am here to count party guests!
Susan: Well, not everybody is here yet.
The Count: That's okay. I will count how many guests are already here.
Susan: Okay.
The Count: (counting Susan) One, (counting David and Maria) two, three, (counting Gordon) four, (counting three kids) five, six, seven, (counting Luis and Big Bird) eight, nine, (counting Kermit the Frog) ten, (pointing to the audience) eleven! Eleven guests! A ha ha! (the sound of thunder is heard)
Kermit: Uh, aren't you forgetting somebody?
The Count: Who?
Luis: You.
The Count: Oh, yeah! One me, and that makes twelve wonderful party guests! A ha ha! (more thunder is heard)
(cut to the following sketches: The Ladybug Picnic and Pinball Number Count #12)
(Now almost everybody is at the party, including every reglar human from the 1977-1978 season, several real kids, Don Music, Biff, Sully, Gladys the Cow, Bert, Ernie, Cookie Monster, Grover, Herry, Little Bird, Prairie Dawn, Simon Soundman, and The Amazing Mumford)
Bert: This is such a great party.
Ernie: Of course it is. I like the cake.
Cookie Monster: I like the COOKIES!
The Amazing Mumford: I am now going to perform my floating cake trick.
Grover: Oh boy, I can not wait to see it done.
The Amazing Mumford: Okay, here it goes. A la peanut butter sandwhiches!
(However, instead of the cake floating, Grover floats instead)
Grover: Uh, Mumfy...
The Amazing Mumford: (oblivious to Grover floating) Something is wrong. I'll try it again....
Grover: (floating above the cake) Uh, Mumfy, look up...
The Amazing Mumford: ....A la peanut butter sandwhiches!
(Grover suddenly falls down into the cake)
Grover: Oh, I am so embarrassed.
The Amazing Mumford: What are you doing in the cake?
(Don Music is at the piano)
Don Music: Hey, everybody, it's time for my new song.
Bob: Oh, great, let's hear it.
Mr. MacIntosh: Yeah!
Bert: I would love to hear it.
Don Music: Okay, here it goes. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dea... dea... oh, I'll never get it right! (bangs head on the piano)
Kermit: What seems to be the problem, Don?
Don Music: I can't think of a word that rhymes with "you".
Bert: Well, I like songs that don't have rhymes in them.
Bob: Yeah, not all songs have to rhyme.
Don Music: They don't?
All: No.
Don Music: Okay, then, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy... happy..." Oh, I'll stil never get it right! (bangs head on piano)
Kermit: Oh, you're still stuck, huh?
Grover: Hey, froggy babyyyyyy!! (slaps Kermit on the back) How are you enjoying the party, froggy?
Kermit: Uh, in pain.
Grover: Oh.
Mr. Hooper: I like all of the food here.
Cookie Monster: Me, too.
Susan: Well, I am glad you like it here.
Olivia; You and Gordon didn't do too bad of a job.
Susan: Thanks.
Little Bird: I like the birdseed.
Big Bird: Me too.
Gladys: I can't stand birdseed. Can I have a doughnut?
Herry: I don't know, can you? (chuckels)
Simon Soundman: Well, I like everything about this party. It's certainly better than the party I went to last week.
Luis: Really. What was wrong with it?
Simon Soundman: Well, it was ona very noisy (makes loud train sound), and there were too many meow's and woof-woofs on the (makes train sound). And I kept hearing soem strange (makes explosion sound) sound. And the (makes fire alarm sound) kept going off. This is a better party. Much, much better.
Ernie: I wish I could understand.
Susan: Oh no.
Gordon: What's wrong?
Susan: The cake is too burnt.
(everyone moans)
Grover: That sure is terrible.
Kermit: You can say that again.
Grover: That sure is terrible.
Biff: Well, you can just make anothe rcake, right?
Gordon: Of course we can.
Prairie Dawn: That's good to know.
Willy: Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't we take that cake to Oscar?
Mr. Hooper: What a great idea.
(fade to outside of the apartment, where Oscar is enjoying time without the others)
Oscar: Well, I sure am glad that I didn't go to that party. There would have been too much happiness. And everybody else is gone. There's nobody here to bother me. That's good. But it's also bad, as there is nobody for me to yell at. Oh, why didn't I go to that party?
(Susan, Gordon, Olivia, Mr. Hooper, Linda, and Bob all come out with the cake)
Gordon: Oh, hi, Oscar.
Oscar: Oh, great, here come some people.
Mr. Hooper: We thought that you might like this cake.
Oscar: Oh.
Bob: Yeah, it was burnt.
Oscar: (sniffs) Oh, and it smells so great. Give me that cake!
Gordon: Okay.
(LInda uses sign language to get everybody's attention)
Bob: Oh, wait, Linda is trying to tell us something.
(the adults all gather around, Linda being blocked from Oscar's view, and the others whisper)
Gordon: That's a good idea.
Mr. Hooper: Yeah.
Olivia: Of course.
(they all go to Oscar's can with the cake)
Mr. Hooper: Oscar, here is your cake.
Oscar: Give it to me!
(they dumpt the cake on Oscar, and all have a laugh)
Oscar: Wow! This really is a good cake.
Susan: We are so glad that you like it.
Oscar: I am going to go down into my can and get dirtier.
(goes into can, closes lid. Big Bird walks outside the building)
Big Bird: Well, I've got to go.
Susan: Why, Big Bird?
Big Bird: I'm going to go check on Mr. Snuffleupagus.
Olivia: How typical. He leaves a party to see his sick imaginary friend.
Bob: Well, good luck, Big Bird.
Gordon: Thanks for comming to the party.
(they all go inside)
Big Bird: Well, I'm going to see Snuffy, but before I go, I'd like to let you know that Sesame Street was brought to you today by the letters Y and Z, and by the number 12.
Bob: Yeah.
(Susan and Gordon are getting ready for a party)
Gordon: Oh, hi. Welcome to the party.
Susan: We're so glad that you could make it.
Gordon: We are going to have fun today. There'll be plenty of food, and lots of fun.
