Plot
It is BJ's seventh birthday and everybody is getting ready for his
VIDEO birthday party. BJ really wants a red scooter with bells and a horn. The
day leads to pretending to fly in an airplane, showing off the treehouse
and even flying kites. When Barney gets a phone call from Professor
WIKIS Tinkerputt, he takes BJ and Baby Bop to see his new toy factory.
Professor Tinkerputt shows off his new inventions and plans to take
the Barney mobile to carry his large surprise. Barney and the other
START A
WIKI dinos, on the other hand, are told they will fly back in a hot air balloon
that Tinkerputt helps them design. Flying through the clouds, they
meet four ducks soaring through the skies. As soon as the three
dinosaurs return to the treehouse, the party begins. Mother Goose
stops by for the party and to catch her goose Clarence the Goose, who
has ran off. She also introduces herself and shares some rhymes with
everyone, while they're acted out by puppets and by the other friends.
She then welcomes Old King Cole, who enters through the aisle and
really makes it a party. After the king leaves, Professor Tinkerputt
comes back and brings his surprise, which isn't a red scooter to BJ's
surprise because he's not giving it to him. Instead, It turns out that
Barney and Baby Bop got him the scooter actually and Professor
Tinkerputt reveals his inflatable cake surprise (also known as the
"Spectacular Spontanious Perfect Party Pastry Provider"). With the
help of the audience, the candles are blown out and BJ is thankful for
his party.

as the Dance Captain and Cast Manager for the tour.
