	COLD OPEN	What's the Word on the Street?: Float (featuring Soichi Noguchi)
	SCENE	Big Bird and Snuffy are having a playdate today. They decide that first they will play a game where they see who can stay in the air the longest. They start jumping, but find they just come down. They continue jumping, rattling the whole street, including Gordon. He comes over to investigate and explains to them that gravity keeps things down, which is why they can't stay up. He demonstrates by throwing some of his stuff and they watch them fall straight down. He then leaves.
	SCENE cont'd	Abby finds the two, sad that they can't stay up in the air. Abby helps them out with a magical rhyme to get rid of gravity. She recites a spell, waves her wand and...
	SCENE cont'd	...the two begin to float off of the ground. Abby wishes them happy floating and flies away. The two sing about the great things to do while "Floating on Air." When they decide to start their playdate, they find that they can't keep hold their ball, car and sandwich, which all float out of reach. Gordon floats up with them, confused about what's happening. They explain what Abby has done and he calls her on his cellphone. Abby re-appears and restores gravity at Gordon's request.
	SCENE cont'd	Everyone is happy to be back on the ground. As Gordon leaves, Big Bird and Snuffy sing about preferring to be on the ground instead of in the air. They begin to debate over what they should do now.

	Muppets / Animation	Abby's Flying Fairy School Today, the class will take the "Tooth Fairy Test", where they must retrieve a child's tooth, change it into a coin, then leave it under their pillow. They appear in a little girl's bedroom and Blogg tries a sleeping spell to make sure she doesn't wake up, but it affects Mrs. Sparklenose as well. Now on their own, Blogg tries to get the tooth, but his hand gets stuck under the girl's hand. They use the magic lifting word (up) and she rises into the air. But, now how to they make the tooth into a coin? They call on Spot, who shows them a commercial for The World Tooth Bank, where chanting "ATM" will conjure up a tooth-to-coin machine. They chant the letters and convert the tooth into one coin. Blogg tries to slip under the pillow, but they keep saying down, making her fall on his hand again. Gonnigan loses his grip and falls onto a TV remote, showing a workout show, which continuously makes the girl go up and down. They finally get the coin under the pillow, when Mrs. Sparklenose wakes up, ready to begin the test. She sees the great job they've already done and awards them their Tooth Fairy Badges.
