        One day, Sesame Street was having a grand festival. There were many exciting attractions there such as games, restaurants, rides, shops, museums, plays, etc. Ernie was one of the volunteers. He was a puppet with orange skin, a striped shirt, messy black hair, and a big red nose. Ernie was sitting at his game booth, Rubber Ducky Madness. The goal of the game was to throw a ring, and if it landed on a rubber ducky, you get a rubber duck. Business was slow, obviously. Ernie was busy eating a donut when all of a sudden he saw a bunch of people crowding around the Performing Arts Theater. I wonder what's going on. Ernie thought to himself. I better go check. He called over his boyfriend, Burt, who was running the Unibrows Museum to come and watch over his booth. The museum was just closing down for the day. "Fine," said Burt. "But you owe me a back rub later!" 

        "Sure thing, Burteroni!" yelled Ernie. He ran as fast as his puppet legs could move towards the theater. He got front row seats because he was a worker in the festival. They were performing "The Wizard of Oz", Ernie's least favorite musical. He was about to leave when he saw a figure in the corner of his eye. The girl playing Dorothy walked across the stage, about to perform "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". The girl sang so beautifully. She had pink skin, golden brown hair, and extremely black eyes. Ernie felt something sticking up in his pants. He tried to hide it, but he couldn't. The girl stared at the big stick poking inside his pants. It was so embarassing. Ernie went back to his seat.

        During the play, Ernie didn't pay attention. All he did was stare at the girl who was looking pretty creeped out by him. He just couldn't look away. She was wearing a very expensive skirt that girls everwhere would kill for. How Ernie wished he was Toto. After the play, Ernie returned to his booth to find Burt sleeping on the job. Ernie took over his stand again, and thought of the girl all day long. He didn't eat or drink. He didn't even excrete his waste in the toilet; he did it in his pants. In fact, he was so deep in thought that he din't even let people play his game and didn't notice the tomatoes getting thrown at him or the security taking people away.

        The festival ended at 12 AM, and Burt had to snap the daydreaming Ernie by throwing a hard stone at him. "What the fuck, Burt!?" exclaimed Ernie.

        "I had to do it, man. You were daydreaming! The festival's closing by the way, and you have to give me a back massage," Burt stated.

        "W-what!? Are you kidding me!?"

        "Nope. C'mon, Ernie." Burt and Ernie went back to their apartment where Ernie was forced to give Burt a back rub. Even while he was doing that, he still couldn't get his mind off of the girl. He dreamt that they got married and had seven kids that night.
