SCENE 1 | Nina and Star greet the Sproutlet viewers while looking through a costume chest and talk about pretending to be different things while dressing up, followed by a version of the Welcome Song. Nina talks about tonight's theme and asks Star what he's dressing up as now - he's dressed up as a superhero, his favorite thing to be, given the fact that they're big, strong, and can save people. Nina recites a poem about pretending to be anything, with Star filling in her blanks, and explains that the Spanish word for costume is disfraz, which she invites Star and the Sproutlets to say with her. |

SCENE 2 | Nina and Star welcome back the Sproutlets and explain that tonight's adventure is about playing dress up and wearing costumes, or disfraz. Nina asks Star if the sky likes to dress up at night, with a cake of sparkly stars and the moon as a crown. After singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," they look up at the stars through the Sprout-o-scope and notice constellations of a cowboy hat and a princess dress. Nina and Star then hear Chica squeaking, prompting them to explain that she's going to celebrate Sproutlets' birthdays... |

After that, Star is "all dressed up" and falls asleep. |
