Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[tvlistingman]

PETER: I am starting to get worried over Bryan and his dormies

ELMO: Yeah, what the heck did he invite Big Bird, Telly and Elmo on that car trip

ZOE: It is 12:17am

LITTLE BIRD: And I am starting to get worried

PETER: Why don't we say a prayer everyone for Bryan and his dorm mates of getting home witn no bruises or not get into an accident before we go to bed

ALL: Our father which art in heaven
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Thy Kingdom Come, thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread, and give us to our endeavors
As we forgive or trespassers, But lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever

LITTLE BIRD: Peter, where did you learn this stuff

PETER: At my Christian Science Church

ZOE: in addition, Peter also goes to another church in Rhode Island, it's a Jewish Church

ELMO: So Peter is doing good

PETER: Thanks, Good Night Elmo and Zoe and Little Bird

LITTLE BIRD: Good Night Zoe and Elmo and Peter

ELMO: Good Night Zoe and Peter and Little Bird

ZOE: Good Night Elmo and Peter and Little Bird

Bry: Everyone was being worried for nothing. We've been back for a while. We snuck in hours ago. Oh well. Whatcha doin, Hoots.
Hoots: Trying to find the letter of the day. (blows a note out of his sax and the Letter F comes out of the horn) There! The Letter F!
Bry: Starts words like faithful, friendly and fun. All great words to describe our friends at the dorms.
Hoots: I know the Number of the Day too. The Number 2, for 2 Snuffleupagus' in our room tonight.
Bry: Yeah, Alice is sleeping over tonight, but she'll be going back home in the morning. Speaking of sleep, I should get some. Goodnight, Hoots.
Hoots: Night! (plays sleepy Sesame Street theme)

[The Count]

Knew you'd be OK Bry... Just, well... Here's to another great summer day.

[BEAR]

(At the pool)
Bry: You got everything you need?
Snuffy: I think so.
Bry: Well, have a good bath, Snuffy!
Snuffy: Thanks, Bryan. See ya later!
Bry: Okay.
Snuffy: Well, here I am taking my bath. Taking baths can be fun, you know why? I'll tell ya.
(Sings) Oh, when I'm in my bubbly tub
A funny thing happens to me when I scrub
I splash and I wash and then it comes along
And soon I'm a'gigglin' and a'singin' this song

Oh a bubble on my snuffle
While I'm taking my bath
A bubble on my snuffle
Is making me laugh
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ho, ho, he
A bubble on my snuffle
Is tickling me
I said, a bubble on my snuffle
Is tickling me

It's the silliest sight you've ever seen
When a snuffleupagus is gettin' clean
No bath is better, I suppose
Then when there's a bubble on the end of your nose!

Yeah, a bubble on my snuffle
While I'm taking my bath
A bubble on my snuffle
Is making me laugh
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ho, ho, he
A bubble on my snuffle
Is tickling me
I said, a bubble on my snuffle
Is tickling me

(Laughs) Do-hohohoho!! Yeah!

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: RARGH!
Rowlf: Uh-oh.
Lisa: I CAN'T find the word I WANT!
Rowlf: Well what word do you want?
Lisa: I don't know.
Rowlf: Well then how do you expect to find it?
Lisa: I expect that by flipping through this dictionary, one of the words will ring a bell, and be the one I'm looking for. But so far, it isn't working. And it is taking SO long... <groans>
Robin: Do you want us to help?
Lisa: I would love for you to help, but how can you?
Robin: Well... I don't know. What word are you looking for?
Lisa: Well I don't really know what the word is. That's the problem.
Robin: How can you look for it if you don't know what it is?
Lisa: Uh, well... Well, I know something about the word...
Gonzo: Tell us that. Maybe that'll help.
Lisa: ...Okay... It was on a spelling list I had in fourth grade the same week as the word "saunter." It's a synonym for sexy. It starts with a letter in the second half of the alphabet, possibly S or V. And we drew pictures to remember what the words meant that week, and I drew a lady in a red dress. Does that help?
Clifford: A lady in a red dress?
Lisa: Well, that's what I remember! It worked, didn't it? I know what the word means.
Rowlf: But you don't know the word.
Lisa: Exactly.
Rowlf: It didn't work.
Lisa: <Sigh.> I don't suppose any of you have any ideas as to what the word might be?
Chef: Sensooel?
Lisa: ...Maybe?
Chef: Sensoouoos?
Lisa: Perhaps?
Chef: Fulooptoouoos?
Lisa: Um...
Chef: Ettrecteefe-a?
Lisa: No.
Chef: Pretty?
Lisa: Nein.
Chef: Sooggesteefe-a?
Lisa: Lo.
Chef: Seleceeuoos?
Lisa: Pardon?
Chef: Seleceeuoos?
Lisa: I did not learn that in fourth grade. ...Actually, I just learned that today.
Clifford: ...How...?
Lisa: By looking through this dictionary! <Sigh!> I just can't find the right word! There's all sorts of other fun words... like... like "sozzled." I have never in my life heard the word "sozzled."
Rowlf: Sozzled?
Lisa: It apparently means "drunk." It's not the word I'm looking for.
Rowlf: No.
Lisa: Oy! You'd think I'd have a better way of finding this word.
Robin: How about a... A Thesuh... Thesusuh... Thes... The book that sounds like a dinosaur.
Lisa: Thesaurus?
Robin: Yeah. Why don't you try that?
Lisa: I already did.
Robin: Oh...
Lisa: It's a nice idea, though.

[BEAR]

Telly: The Letter of the Day must be S.
Bry: How do you know that?
Telly: I was walking by Lisa's room and I heard them saying a bunch of silly S words.
Big Bird: Were they having a vocabulary lesson?
Telly: I don't know!

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <skimming through dictionary> ...Strip, stripe, stripling, strive, strobe, strode, stroke, stroll, strong, strontium, strop, strove, struck, structure, struggle, strum, strung, strut... something I can't pronounce... stub, stubble, stubborn, stucco-
Clifford: Do you have to read these all out loud?
Lisa: Yes. Stuck, stud, student, studio, studious, study, stuff, stuffy, stul-ti-fy... stumble, stump, stun, stung, stunk, stunt-
Gonzo: THAT'S what I should be doing! A new stunt!
Lisa: <glances at Gonzo.> <ahem> Stupefy, stupendous, stupid, sturdy...
Rowf: I think she's implying something.
Lisa: Sturgeon, stutter, sty, style, stylus, stymie, styptic- I never had any idea there were so many "S-T" words. Suave, sub, subaltern, subcommittee... <two pages later> I FOUND IT! I found it I found it I found it I found it! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! <jumps and dances around> I found the word! Yippee!!!!!!!
Rowlf: So what was it?
Lisa: <sitting back down with notebook> Well I can't tell you, I'm using it in my fanfiction!
Clifford: <groans>
Lisa: It'll be in the next chapter. I promise.

[The Count]

You'd better make good on that promise girly... Or there'll be a lot of grumpy roommies in that loft you share.

[Erine81981]

Grover: *over hears Lisa* This looks like a job for....*runs to the bathroom**comes back out*.....Suuuu-per Grover! *looks at costume* Whoops! Wrong one. Embarrassing! *runs back and comes out in Super Grover outfit* Suuuu-per Grover away! *flies out making a hole in the celling* Whoops! Wrong room. *flies into Lisa's room*

In Lisa's room..........

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! (CRASH!) Hello there little girl. Suuu-per Grover here to save the day! I heard you screaming and all. What is wrong?

[The Count]

Wha-huh? He flew out through the ceiling? But wouldn't that mean he just crashed up through to the third floor? And then back down into Lisa's room?
Man, that's gonna be a pain to fix... Especially when your rooms are next door to each other, he could've just walked over.
Oh well... I'll put a call in to Biff and Sully in the morning.
Better warn everybody up in that area of the third floor.

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <laughs and hugs Super Grover> Thank you, Super Grover, but it just so happens that I was shouting for joy, because my problem is solved. Thank you for coming to help, though! I sure hope that landing didn't hurt you. You're much too cute of a monster to be in pain. <kisses Super Grover's nose> I'm going to bed now, though. Why don't you use the door this time? It hurts much less. Well, sleep well!

<After Gro- excuse me- Super Grover leaves.>

Clifford: Now how come he gets a kiss?
Lisa: One, because he's cute. Two, he crashed through the ceiling.
Gonzo: So if I crashed through the ceiling, you would give me a kiss, too?
Camilla: Baw?!
Lisa: That's Camilla's turf.
Camilla: Bawk bu-bawk bawk!
Gonzo: Sorry honey...
Camilla: Ba-gawk bawk!
Gonzo: I-
Camilla: Burgawk buck bu-gaw bawk!
Gonzo: But-
Camilla: Bu-gawk BAWK!
Gonzo: Camilla?
Camilla: Buck.
Gonzo: <hugs Camilla> I love you.
Camilla: Bu- ...Bu- ...Baw.....
Clifford: Oh, brother...
Lisa: Good night, everybody.
Rowlf: Yeah. Sleep good.

[Erine81981]

Sorry about that Ed. I'll be sure to pay for it this time. Ohhh Super Grover. *goes off to bed*

Herry: I wonder who that super hero is?

Cookie M: Who?

Herry: I was asking you Cookie Monster. *folds arms on hips*

Cookie M: Me not know. *goes back to eatting cookies*

Grover: *walks in* Hey guys.

Herry: You just missed....Grover?

Grover: Yes Herry?

Herry: Why do you do that? We know it's you.

Grover: Who, what?

Herry: *whispers to Cookie* He must of landed on his head to much.

(both laugh)

Grover: I am going on to bed. Good Night guys.

Herry: Good night. Come on Cookie Monster. Let's watch some TV.

Cookie M: TV!

[BEAR]

Bry: (At window waving) Thanks, Bats! There. That's taken care of.
Big Bird: What was that?
Bry: Oh, just a card for the Amazing Mumford. It was his birthday today.
Big Bird: Oh really? Gee, I didn't know that.
Bry: Well, I think I'm off to bed now. Did Lisa ever find the word she was looking for?
Rosita: Yeah, I think so.
Bry: Good. So what's the Letter and Number of the Day?
Snuffy: The Letter is S and the Number...
Telly: I'll give you the Number on my pogo stick. Just count my jumps. (bounces on his pogo stick) BOING!
Rosita: Uno...
Telly: BOING!
Rosita: Dos...
Telly: BOING!
Rosita: Tres...
Telly: BOING!
Rosita: Quatro...
Telly: (crashes into the wall and flies out the window landing in the bush outside) *Thud*
Hoots: Looks like the Number of the Day is 4.
Rosita: You okay, Telly!?
Telly: Fine!
Bry: Oh, dear. Goodnight, everyone.

[The Count]

No worries Kyle... They're already doing a bit of a job for me... Good thing they got here early, they can take care of the holes in the ceilings/floors and the wall in your room.
I'll probably be taking a bath.
Count: Vhy? Is 1 missing?
*Beat.

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: Let's see. Today is the eighth, which means... <looks at calendar> Hm... Hey guys! Prawnie should be back in two days.
Clifford: It's about time!
Gonzo: Are you sure? Because every time we think he's back, he's not.
Camilla: Burgurk!
Lisa: Well, it should be real this time.
Gonzo: Okay...
Lisa: So, two days until Prawnie's back, which means three days until my sister's back, which means.... ten... days... before I leave! OH MY GOSH! OH MY HOLY MOSQUITOES!
Robin: Is that good or bad?
Lisa: I DON'T KNOW! TEN DAYS! Ten days to write and type and post as much story as possible, ten days to pack, ten days to panick about flying by myself again and finding staff at the airport in New York and ten days before I'm in New York which means eleven days before I'm in Poland and... and... <shuffles through papers> And... NINETEEN DAYS UNTIL I'M IN ISRAEL! <SQUEALS!> Oh my gosh I gotta write! I gotta finish this chapter and type it and post it and figure out the next one and the next one and AHHHHH! Oh PLEASE let me get to 1975 before I go!!!!!!!
Rowlf: Would you just write?
Lisa: YES SIR!

[redBoobergurl]

Cantus: Well, I just talked with a couple of my roomies and it sounds as if Ryan might finally be back in a couple more days
Beth: Oh I hope so, I miss him!
Red: Me too!
Mokey: I'd bet you're looking forward to staying your room again Cantus
Cantus: Yes, but because I'm a wanderer it doesn't much matter to me where I stay
Beth: I suppose that is true
Cantus: Still looking forward to seeing the boy though
Beth: Me too

[The Count]

*Comes back...
UD: What happened to that bath?
Eh, can't rully lock myself in there, since I'm tending to Biff and Sully while they're here for the day.
UD: Just as well...
Hey, I think we should have a BBQ cookout this weekend, that'll probably cheer up a lot of people as some old friends come back from vacation.
UD: You mean...
Yeah, heard it from Lisa. Though I think she's slipping.
UD: How so?
Well... Rowlf told her to quit panicking and just write...
UD: And?
Usually, she'd have responded with "Left". Oh well, probably get to writing some more meself.

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: *Is laying outside the dorm rooms on a chaise lounge chair, with huge sunglasses on her face, sleeping in the noontime sun.* zzzzzz....

Scooter: *Sitting beside her, with a bucket hat on his head, proofreading her novel, "Sadie's Stories"* ...wow, this is really good...

Jim, Jerry, & Frank: *They are all sitting inside the dorms, in the main room; watching 'The Dark Crystal' on the TV*

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Aaah! What's with all the noise?
Telly: Yeah, what's going on!?
Bry: Oh, that's Biff and Sully working out in the hallway. I guess Super Grover made a bit of a mess last night.
Telly: Oh!
Snuffy: That Super Grover...Do-hoho!
Bry: Got Birdkateers today, Big Bird?
Big Bird: Yep! I was hoping we could go up to the roof and hang out with Bert's pigeons. I'll be leaving after lunch.
Bry: Okay.
Rosita: (Playing with her guitar) What are we having for lunch?
Bry: Let's go to Everybody Eats. It's a nice day. We'll walk there!

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: All right, Rowlf, pay up.
Rowlf: What?
Lisa: I made her squeal. You owe me a nickel.
Rowlf: Where does it say she squeals?
Lisa: Look at her post!
Rowlf: <looks at computer> It doesn't say she squeals.
Lisa: What do you call three captialized E's? I call that a squeal.
Rowlf: Well so do I, but it's not directly related to the line.
Lisa: Yes it is.
Rowlf: No it isn't.
Lisa: It so is! See, it's the first thing she typed. Thus it was her first reaction. The line is early in the chapter, she had to express her reaction right away.
Rowlf: But the way the paragraphs are separated-
Lisa: Nice try. I'm right and you know it. Now pay up.
Rowlf: Fine, lemme find a nickel...
Lisa: Thank you.

Clifford: Now what was that all about?
Rowlf: She bet me a nickel that she could make Sara squeal with Richard Hunt's line in her new chapter.
Clifford: A nickel?
Rowlf: She made the bet, not me. I just accepted it. You seen a nickel anywhere?
Clifford: Yeah, I think there's one on the floor in the common room.
Rowlf: Thanks.

Clifford: <reads post over Lisa's shoulder.> I don't think she was squealing at that specific line.
Lisa: I'm sure she squealed at that specific line.
Clifford: There's not much evidence for it in the post, though.
Lisa: Yeah, but it's not about the evidence, it's about who can argue it!
Clifford: You mean you know he's right, and you're taking the money anyway?
Lisa: It's just a nickel.
Clifford: That's another thing. Why would you bet a nickel?
Lisa: One word.
Clifford: Excuse me?
Lisa: <sings> TRADITIOOOOOON, TRADITION! ...TRA-DI-TION! TRADITIOOOOOON, TRADITION! ...TRA-DI-TION!
Clifford: All right, I get the point. And that was six words, by the way.
Lisa: Picky picky.
Robin: How did it start?
Lisa: Pardon?
Robin: The tradition. How did it start?
Lisa: <With a Yiddish accent> I'll tell you... I don't know. <Drops accent> Actually I do know. My aunt and uncle started it when they first got married. At the time, a nickel could actually buy you something. Apparently inflation didn't affect the bet, it just kind of stuck.
Rowlf: Well, here's the nickel.
Lisa: Thank you! <kisses Rowlf's nose.>
Clifford: Wait a second. Now he gets a kiss?
Lisa: He lost a bet.
Clifford: So lemme get this straight. The only way you'll kiss a guy is if he's cute, he crashes through the ceiling, or he loses a bet?
Lisa: Or he could be my dad, uncle, grandfather, or baby cousin.
Clifford: That ain't happening...
Lisa: Nope. All right, I'm heading to Everybody Eats for lunch. Anybody coming?
Robin: Ooh, me!
Gonzo: Me too!
Camilla: Buck bawk!
Chef: I'll cume-a und iet sume-a loonch tuu.
Clifford: Why not?
Rowlf: I'll come, but who's paying?
Lisa: Why?
Rowlf: Well I just lost a bet...
Lisa: One lousy nickel. All right, let's go! Maybe we'll see Bryan and his roomie's there, too, I think they just left.

[The Count]

Well... Biff and Sully finished the repairs, it's all OK now.
Hope you guys took your umbrellas, summer showers are prevalent these days. Hope Sara and Scooter came indoors in time.
Will update you guys soon.

[The Count]

*Coming back to the dorms... Aw man, that was a great lunch.
UD: Did you go to Everybody Eats?
Count: Did you count all of our friends there?
Nope on both... Got myself a great burger and fries and soda over at the Rock & Roll Sandwich Shop over on Cerf Street.

*Both: Oh...
Hey, come on... Would I come back empty handed?
*Both: Huh?
Brought you boys your faves... 40-Clove Garlic Chicken for The Count, and Bloodied at the Steak for Uncle Deadly.
Eat up guys, I'll be over here if you need me.
*Both have themselves a late meal.

[BEAR]

Hey, Ed! Is there a map of Hensonville available so that we can find our way around town better? Also, it would be great if someone could draw up a map of the Dorm grounds including where everyone lives. What do you think?

[The Count]

Hmmm... Last I knew Sara was working on drawing a map of the town. Not sure what progress she's made.
As for a map of the dorms, good idea... Anyone in mind to draw it up?

[Erine81981]

Resting on the couch with feet on the feet rest

Boy are my feet tired.

Herry: You can say that again.

Boy are my feet tired.

Herry: I was only teasing, Kyle.

And I was just joining in on the fun. What time did Grover say he gets off?

Herry: I think 8 or 7.

Good I'll try and figure out what to have for dinner.

Herry: I'm going to go outside and take a nap in the hammock.

It's a hot day so be sure to put some furscreen on.

Herry: I'll ready on it.

[Skeeter Muppet]

*in Room 15, there is a group of Fraggles crowded around Kim*

Kim: *not looking up from her book* Can I help you?
Gillis: What are you doing?
Kim: Crossword puzzle.
Tosh: What's a 'crossword puzzle'?
Boober: What Kim's doing, silly!
Kim: I have to guess the answer to these clues and write the letters in these boxes here. And some of the words that go across share letters with the ones that go up and down. They cross over. That's why they call it a 'crossword'.
Fraggles: Oh.
Boober: ...why?
Kim: Why, what?
Boober: Why are you doing a crossword puzzle?
Kim: Because I'm bored and I want to.
Gillis: Are you ever going to start writing a story?
Kim: ...we'll see, Gillis.

-Kim

[Katzi428]

*walking into the room & kicking off my sandals* I am pooped!
Prairie:Yeah...you look it.How was Olive Garden?
The food was good but I ate too much.I should've just ordered soup.My stomach was bugging me the rest of the time I was out with my mother,my friend,& her parents.It was my friend's mother's birthday.
Prairie:Sounds nice!
Yeah...except my friend was being a real crab today.All of us went to a few places after dinner & one of them was the mall. Since my feet were bugging me,I sat outside the bookstore while my friend went in. I saw a book called "Chicken Soup For The Father's & Daughter's Soul".So I told my friend that I wished that it had been around when my dad was alive. She told me that I should buy it for myself.I said no because I was afraid I'd be crying with some parts. She just rolled her eyes & made a clicking noise with her tongue.
Prairie:Oh Kath...I'm sorry.She shouldn't have done that.
That's not the only thing. We were supposed to meet her parents & my mom at a certain time & she's quicker than me on her feet.So between that & my feet hurting I was pretty slow.So she goes "Now you see why we don't go places together anymore!"
Prairie:That's awful of her to say that! :mad: Here....put up your feet & relax. I'll be right back.
Where are you going?
Prairie:Into my room to get my foot massaging cream. I'm going to rub it on your feet.
Prairie..you're a sweetie.I'll go change into my PJs before you do my feet.Thanks SO much!
Prairie:What are friends for?;)

[The Count]

Well... Good to see Kim around again. If she's bored, she might want to go and read some of the wonderful tomes in our growing fanmade fictional library... Some I can recommend, though only a couple by my own pen... A few half-baked attempts, wouldn't want someone else getting invested into something that I'm not even completely confident of.
But more on that on the morrow... Sleep tight everybody.

[Erine81981]

Grover: Seems we always have pizza or chicken.

Herry: I'm fine with whatever we eat. I'm hungry!

*eatting some pizza* I just love meat lovers. Best there is! WOOOOO!

Grover: You and your pizza, Kyle.

Gotta love the pizza!

Cookie M: URP! That is good pizza.

(CRASH!)

You can always tell when Cookie Monster loves his food.

Herry: Hows that?

When he burps and knocks a picture down from the wall.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: I can't believe Grover would be dressed as Super Grover and try to save Lisa from depression

ELMO: he sure made a hole,

LITTLE BIRD: And me and Elmo were at Birdkateers while Biff and Sully were repairing the hole

ZOE: And that Super Grover, although I love Grover and his altar egos

PETER: We all too

ELMO: Tomorrow after school why don't we go swimming in the Outdoor Pool

ZOE: Sounds good

LITTLE BIRD: Me Too

PETER: Me four

ELMO: Good Night Zoe and Peter and Little Bird (feeds his fish)

ZOE: Good Night Elmo and Peter and Little Bird

LITTLE BIRD: Good Night Elmo and Zoe and Peter

PETER: Good Night Elmo and Zoe and Little Bird

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: ...<Sigh>... I dunno, guys.
Gonzo: What?
Lisa: Well... It's just that this scene here... it's not coming at all. I mean, there are SO many scenes that could come so easily right now... but I'm not on those scenes. I'm on this scene. And I really don't wanna write this scene.
Gonzo: So don't write it.
Lisa: Oh, but I have to write this scene, you see. It's a very important scene, especially if I'm going to do the things I'm going to do. This <points at notebook> is very important.
Rowlf: Well, what happens in the scene?
Lisa: See, now there's the trouble. ...I have no idea.
Rowlf: Then how do you know it's important?
Lisa: Just trust me on this one.
Rowlf: Okay...
Lisa: But it's just frustrating. I have so many ideas for so many scenes, and I wanna write those scenes, but I'm nowhere near them yet.
Gonzo: Well what scenes do you wanna write?
Lisa: Well, like... I wanna write... Camilla's big scene in part three-
Camilla: Bagawk BAW?
Lisa: Yes, Camilla, you have- a very big scene in part three, a nice important role. It's relatively short, unfortunately, but you do have it.
Camilla: Bawk!
Lisa: You're welcome. So I wanna write that scene, and I wanna write this other scene that's at about the same time as that, and I wanna write... Well. Actually, I just wanna write part three. I like part three. It's fun. It's all... heart-wrenchy and sweet and cute and lovable. I like part three.
Gonzo: So write part three.
Lisa: But I can't post part three. I have to post part one. I have to post chapter twenty six of part one. I can't just skip forward, it would throw the readers off terribly. Could you imagine, if I went from just meeting the Electric Mayhem in 1973, straight to 2009 with... Mm, how to say this without giving too much away... with Miss Piggy bawling her eyes out in the bathroom? It would be much too confusing.
Gonzo: Why is Piggy bawling her eyes out in the bathroom in 2009?
Lisa: Youuu think I'm going to tell you that? Not- on yourrrrr... life!
Gonzo: Well, it was worth a shot.
Lisa: No, not really.
Gonzo: Oh.
Lisa: But anyway... You don't mind that I'm just rambling, do you?
Gonzo: Not at all!
Rowlf: Nope.
Lisa: Oh good. Because I don't intend to stop. See there's SOOO many good scenes to write, and it's just so frustrating that I'm not at any of them, and I have to get through this stuff that I have no idea what to do with before I can get to any of the really fun stuff. Now why can't readers just sort of telepathically pick up stuff from my brain so I can skip it. That would make it sooo much easier. But they can't, so I have to show it all to them. Which means I have to write two more flirting scenes, at least. And that's really hard.
Rowlf: Why's that?
Lisa: Mm, because I don't flirt? I neeever flirt. I'm never around anyone I want to flirt with. And occasionally someone will tell me that I'm flirting, but I'm not really concious of it. I don't even realize that I'm flirting until they tell me so, it's not even intentional. So I, I really am not the right person to be writing these flirting scenes, but unfortunately I can't just delegate it, you know?
Gonzo: No.
Rowlf: I'll take your word for it.
Lisa: So I'm really just kind of stuck, see. That's why I just wanna get to 1975, because then I'm not stuck anymore! Then I know what I'm doing for just about the entire rest of the series. It's just this beginning stuff that's got me all tied in knots. I don't really know this stuff.
Rowlf: Well, you've been doing pretty well so far.
Lisa: Uh... I've been passing. But I'm really stuck on this one scene I'm in! I feel like I don't really know the characters. How do I introduce characters that I don't know?
Rowlf: You don't know them?
Lisa: Well, I know, I... yuhhhhhhhhh I dunno. I'm just really dissapointed in myself that I haven't made ANY headway at all since I posted today. I mean what the heck is that. I usually make such good progress on this kinda day...
Gonzo: Well judging by your slowness of speech, I'd say you need sleep.
Lisa: <nods> Prooobably. <Yawns> ...Prooobably. I just hope I can actually sleep tonight. And stay asleep. I'm so sick of waking up at six in the morning for no good reason. <stands, stretches, yawns> All right, guys. Good night.
Gonzo: Good night, Lisa.
Rowlf: Night.
Camilla: Buck-buck.
Lisa: You too. ...See ya tomorrow... <Sigh.>

[The Count]

Hey Lisa... Don't worry, I go through the same not-knowingness and multiple scenarios myself. Seems the flirting you had between Kermit and Miss Mousey was good enough, though you could always talk to Ruahnna if you need help with the flirty scenes. As for waking up that early, I've got that built into my own clock as well... Too much training by my dad, waking us up that early so we'd be ready to get to school on time, and it's stuck with me to this day.
If you need to talk behind the scenes about any problems with the story scenes, feel free to contact me privately. Hope I can help you out since your stories are the driving force behind the rest of ours getting finished and printed to add to our growing library here.

[daughterdeadly]

Daughterdeadly: (opens door to her and Emmet's dorm quickly.) Whoooo! Emmet, Guess what?!

Emmet: (looks up from the book he was reading.) What? What is it?

Daughterdeadly: Today I graduated from Tudor Elementary School!!! So that makes me like, an official pre-seventh grader!

(Heh, isn't that a little strange... I'm a seventh grader writing about what I'm doing in my college dorms... wierd ain't it? Anyways...)

Emmet:Allright! Hey, is that why you didn't get back to the dorms till this late?

Daughterdeadly:Yeah, I went out to eat with some friends... It was pretty fun. But I'm so like, tired right now... I'm gonna crash... (she starts walking to her bed then spies a deck of cards on the table.) Actually, Emmet... how 'bout a game of cards first? Huh, How about it, eh?

Emmet:Um, sure... okay! That sounds swell!

Daughterdeadly:Allright! (she smiles and nodds her head slowely, then suddenly holds it in pain.) Ouch...

Emmet:What happened? Are you okay?

Daughterdeadly:Ummm... yeah, I'll tell you about it tommarrow, okay?

Emmet: (shrugs) Allright...

[BEAR]

(Big Bird, Telly, Rosita and Snuffy are all asleep)
Bry: What a nice day it was. Well, goodnight, Hoots.
Hoots: Goodnight, my man! Muppet Dorms were brought to us today by the Letter P (a group of stars in the sky light up forming a constallation of the letter P) and the Number 7 (another constellation in the form of the number 7 lights up). Have jazzy dreams!

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Bill: You are not getting downcast about your mother are you Martin? You haven't interacted with anyone else in the dorms for a long time. Do you realize Ally and Emmet sent us a thank you card for letting Emmet stay with us and you never acknowledged it?
Martin: Oh dear me. I should have been more polite. It's not that I'm fretting over my mummy Bill. Her condition is treatable. I just haven't been making my presence actively felt because the manager asked me to keep a bit of control over the expressing of my spiritual faith to keep things balanced among the dorms and I want to be a respectful resident.
Bill: Ah I understand friend. I feel exactly the same way. At least you have good news for your mother. How have your visits with her been going?
Martin: We're really enjoying our lunches together Bill and we've come over half-way through my Astroboy DVD collection.
Bill: She really enjoys those cartoons does she?
Martin: Yeah. The greatest action sci-fi series in all Japan. It's fun to watch that cute little robot-boy smash the enemy robots to pieces and defeat the villians controlling them. SMASH! BAM! HOORAY!
Bill: (laughing) You certainly have a lot to be thankful for haven't you? You're spending exciting times with your mummy and with kimotherapy and radium she should get on top of the cancer attacking her. But really you shouldn't have to keep such a low profile in the dorms should you?
Martin: Well Bill. I suppose not.
Bill: Think about it. I'm sure everybody will support you gladly and rejoice that your mother's condition looks so favourable.
Martin: Of course.
Bill: And many of them know about your personal faith but as long as we don't push it upon them they'll accept you as you are. Won't they?
Martin: You're right Bill. I shouldn't be such a silly-billy. And you are a smart-billy to point this out to me.
Bill: So you'll come out of this shell?
Martin: Yes I will. And I know the very first thing I must do as well.
Bill: And that is?
Martin: Go see Ally and Emmet and apologize and thank them for the Thank you card they gave you and I.
Bill: Attaboy Marty. Let's go.

[The Count]

Hey... Kathy, Lisa, Kyle... The Moppet Reunion special's started!
Hmmm, wonder if Sara would like to audition for the role of Gray, Mr. Cole's red-headed niece who's Kyle's girlfriend.
Well, she'd better talk to Beauregard or Christy if so.

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Knocking on Ally's door.
Martin: Ally! Emmet! Are you there? Bill and I would like to see you and I have something important to say.

[Katzi428]

Hey... Kathy, Lisa, Kyle... The Moppet Reunion special's started!
.
Yep....I noticed...thanks Ed.


Prairie:Hey Ed? Is the BBQ still on for this weekend?Like you said yesterday,it might cheer some dormmates up & I know a certain one that needs some cheering up.

[The Count]

Yes it is Prairie. Why, did you want to ask me something about it?

[Katzi428]

Yes it is Prairie. Why, did you want to ask me something about it?
Prairie:Just checking.My roomie here came home from being out yesterday & was upset because one of her friends was pretty insensitive.So I figured a barbecue would cheer her up.
(OOC:Ed...check my post from 10:07 last night)

[The Count]

*Chuckling... No need for OOC's here Kath, just label your comment with a star as if it were some sort of privately whispered comment.
And I read it last night, so I understand. Now, if some people would update their fanfics...

[BEAR]

Bry: Where is my shirt? I can't find my red shirt! Who did laundry last?
Big Bird: I think it was Telly.
Telly: Huh? I don't have it.
Bry: Blah!

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: A barbeque sounds nice guys. I can make coleslaw and potato salad.

Scooter: Or you can make some drinks or something.

Sara: Yeah, anything to help the guys out with the barbeque!

Jim: We can also have music!

Jerry: Get the Electric Mayhem and us, and we'll have a great time!

Frank: Sounds good, and tastes good.

[redBoobergurl]

Red: Did you guys hear, there's a barbeque this weekend!
Mokey: Ooh, sounds fun!
Beth: What should we bring guys?
Red: Doozerstick pie!
Beth: Well, that sounds good for you guys but what about me?
Mokey: I like that cheese dip that you make
Beth: Oh, the mexican one with the taco chips?
Mokey: Yeah!
Beth: All right, I'll make that, it will be fun!

[The Count]

That the one with the different layers of Mexican taco fillers? That reminds me... Gotta go to one of the two supermarkets and pick up some stuff.
*Makes list.
Jalapeño poppers...
Sesame seeded bagel chips.
Oval-shaped gaucho burgers to make into bat-burgers.
BBQ ribs.
And I'm thinking a good rustic pecan pie.
Could get some more stuff, unless you guys want to help out.

[Erine81981]

Hey... Kathy, Lisa, Kyle... The Moppet Reunion special's started!
Hmmm, wonder if Sara would like to audition for the role of Gray, Mr. Cole's red-headed niece who's Kyle's girlfriend.
Well, she'd better talk to Beauregard or Christy if so.
Thanks Ed for reminding me. Come on guys. *running to our room* Our shows about to start. It just came back on today.

Grover: Wait for me.

Herry: Oh I've be waiting for it to come back on.

Cookie M: Here some cookies. Dig in! *starts munching down cookies*

Oscar: *trashcan rattling* Wait for me. I've hated this show for the longest and now I just can't stand to miss any of it.

You want to watch it Oscar?

Oscar: What? Us grouches like to have fun. That is hating stuff. Heh heh heh heh heh heh......

*turns on TV set* Here we go.

[The Count]

Well... At least now everybody knows. Hope Sara, Beth, Lisa, and maybe even Catherine (Ru) update their fanfictions soon.
I mean... How long's one supposed to keep nagging before it starts grating on the person you're nagging for more story? Don't know how Lisa does it...
*Walks off back to room.

[daughterdeadly]

Emmet: *Goes to the door and opens it* Oh, hey guys! Ally, look who's here!

Ally: Martin! Bill! How are you doin' guys? Come on in... *Grabs afew bean bags and places them on the floor* Here take a seat! Oh, um... sorry about the limited seating... *looks at the bean bags* uh, never mind, you can stand if you want...

Emmet: I have not seen you guys for a while around here...

Ally: Yeah, are you all allright? And uh,what was so important that you wanted to tell us now?

[Katzi428]

Hmmmm...OK....*making a list*....3 cartons of eggs,dry mustard,paprika...salt & pepper to taste......There!I'll be making devilled eggs for the barbecue. Sound good,Prairie?
Prairie:Yep.And I'm going to make tuna macaroni salad.
Sounds delicious!
Gaffer:Meow?*going in between my legs & purring*
Ohhhh...of course Gaffer!Can't forget your Friskies' cat food!We're running low on that.

[Ruahnna]

Hey Lisa... Seems the flirting you had between Kermit and Miss Mousey was good enough, though you could always talk to Ruahnna if you need help with the flirty scenes.

LOL, Ed! Come on down, Lisa, if you need any flirting tips--I'm living with the Queen of Broken Hearts in room 20!

Have been AWOL for a couple of days, but I'm back now. Have been working furiously on next installment of Kermie's girl. Actually, that's not true. I've been working on writing the scenes from the Christmas show (and I am lovin' the music and the dancin' and, um, okay), which is after the next scene I need to post (which I haven't written) and I can totally sympathize with Lisa about how hard it is to both write sequentially (since stories don't often develop that way) and to do it IN FRONT OF PEOPLE! Eeek! Actually, when I first came to MC and saw all the fanfic written in segments I thought, "These folks are bonafied crazy." And here I am, one of the crazy people.

Oh--and I'm not sure how to broach the topic of a barbeque with my roomie--any suggestions, or should Piggy and I go out on a girls' night out?

[Ruahnna]

Piggy: Oh--there you are! I was wondering if you were going to slow down enough or continue to be a blur this week as well!
Catherine: Sorry, honey. This has been a killer week for me. Things will slow down next week, promise. Thank heaven--cause I'm bushed.
Piggy: Well here's something that ought to lift your spirits. (Holds up a beautiful green satin robe.)
Catherine: Ooh! Piggy--it's beautiful! Thank you! Thank you, thank you!
Piggy: Do not thank Moi--they are house-warming, um, dorm-warming gifts from Count.
Catherine: Wow--for an undead guy, he's got fantastic instincts for gifts! This is so beautiful--we'll have to bake brownies or something.
Piggy: (holding it up and displaying it) Here is Moi's robe. Enchanting, is it not?
Catherine: (stroking the soft texture of her robe) Lovely--just lovely. (Looks at Piggy with sudden inspiration.) I am totally grubby after helping at field day today--If you don't have a date...
Piggy: Humpf!
Catherine: Well then, let's have a spa night, hm? We'll soak and exfoliate and paint our little piggies and be girly-girls tonight. (soto voce: And maybe I'll begin to feel human again.)
Piggy: I was hoping you'd ask. Let me gather a few things and we're off.

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <Suddenly starts squealing in gibberish that sounds something like this> AZIGIOVIBIODIZEEBEE MEJNUGADA BENIGIO BLA DANANANAGEZUMAMEENABEZUUUUUP!
Clifford: Come again?
Lisa: <Deep breath>
Clifford: No no no, don't actually say all that again!
Lisa: Aww...
Rowlf: What was that about?
Lisa: <is very smug> Sommmmmmmething! <Giggles> It's just so perfect! I love it when it just sort of magically fits together like this... <Sigh!> <Sits down in front of notebook again> Now then. ...Where was I?
Robin: You're at the part where the ink stops and the blank page starts.
Lisa: Oh yes, of course. Thank you. <kisses the top of Robin's head>
Clifford: Wait a second...
Lisa: Yes?
Clifford: How come Robin got a kiss? He didn't fall through the ceiling, he didn't lose a bet, and he's not related to you.
Lisa: No... But he's cute.
Robin: <squirms>
Clifford: Whatever.
Gonzo: Yes?
Clifford: ...Never mind.
Gonzo: <shrugs> Okay.

*Pst, Hey Ruahnna? Maybe preface it with the deal I have with Chef- no cooking the dorm residents, or anything of their species. And maybe say something about how it's so nice that we respect that sort of thing here at the dorms. <Shrug> Just a thought. And thanks- I may stop by some time in the next chapter or two... I'm not sure if that's a measurement of time or not, but...

[tvlistingman]

PETER: Do you know what are we going to do tomorrow

ELMO: What is it?

ZOE: What is it?

PETER: We are going to see the movie, Cars

LITTLE BIRD: It was released today

ZOE: And we are going to see it at the Muppet Cinema tomorrow night

PETER: Sounds good

LITTLE BIRD: I Like that plan!

[The Count]

*Finishes watching TMM.
Count: 1, 1 vonderful movie!
UD: Yes... But why wasn't I in it?
Well... You were trapped at the theater... Still bound by the rules of Death.
UD, with an air of quietud: Ah yes... Death, that cheery fellow.

Yep... And it looks like I even have an excuse to go talk to Lisa now that I have the dialogue as to what happened to Miss Mousey. She's got a bit of a running gag going on.
Count: Hmmm?
UD: Whatever.
That'd be Gonzo's cue... Kind of our own little myth here at the dorms.
Count: Vhat?
Myth, myth.
*Bootiful ghost lady: Yeth?

Hey Ru, glad you're digging the dorms. If you prefer to go on a spa night, that's OK... We'll just save you some of the other samplers from the cookout.

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: *looks up from her crossword* Barbeque? Did someone say barbeque?
Betty Lou: Yup! We're having a cookout this weekend.
Kim: Great! We need something to break up the monotony around here.
Betty Lou: What about that trip we took to Disneyland a couple of weeks ago?
Kim: That's the thing about summer, Betty Lou...you need a LOT of monotony-breakers.
Gillis: Well I, for one, think it sounds like a fun time. Only...
Kim: Only what, Gillis?
Gillis: ...what's a "barbeque"?
Kim: A barbeque is like a regular meal, only instead of cooking the food inside on the stove or in the oven, you cook it outside on a grill, over a fire. It's a lot of fun.
Boober: What kind of foods do you usually cook?
Kim: Chicken, hamburgers, pork chops, hot dogs-
Boober: You cook DOGS?!?
Kim: *sighs* No, they're not real dogs. They're just called hot dogs because they're long like one breed of dog is.
Tosh: Is that true?
Kim: Well, actually I think that last part is an urban legend. But hot dogs are not real dogs, nor are they made from any part of a real dog.
Betty Lou: Kim, you forgot the most important part!
Kim: What's that, Betty Lou?
Betty Lou: The s'mores!
Kim: Oh, right! But, I think I'll save those as a surprise at the cookout. Now, what do you think we should bring?
Fraggles: Doozer sticks!
Kim: *chuckles* Natch on that one. Let's see...I'll need to get s'mores ingredients from the store before the cookout. And iced tea. Can't have a cookout without iced tea.
Betty Lou: Snapple or Lipton's?
Kim: What are you, crazy? Lipton's, of course.

-Kim

[Erine81981]

Guys I won't be able to make it to the cookout. I have to work tomorrow around 2 to 10. Maybe I'll get to or not but hope ya'll have fun tomorrow.

Grover: Do not worry Kyle. We will save you some.

Thanks Grover. Your so kind.

Herry: Do we have some chips and dip?

Yep I think we do. *looks in cupbroad* Yep. Is that's what your bring?

Herry: You guessed it.

Cookie M: Me going to bring me mommy's speical cookies. She makes the best.

You better save me some of those too Cookie Monster. I want some too. So don't eat them all.

Cookie M: Me not eat them all. Don't worry Kyle.

I hope I don't have to. Good Night guys. See you in the morning.

Monsters: Good Night, Kyle.

[Ruahnna]

Piggy: (sighing deeply and pushing toes underneath covers on her canopy bed) I feel lovely.
Catherine: You look great, too, Piggy. I'm feeling pretty spiffy myself--all cleaned up and polished. Hey, um, Piggy....
Piggy: (sleepily) Um hm?
Catherine: (tentatively) Um, some of our dormies are having a cookout tomorrow. Do you want to, you know, go out on the lawn and hang out? They'll be food and probably music and a lot of dorm buddies. I can cook something for us to take....
Piggy: (drifting) Sounds lovely.
Catherine: Oh, good. (Pushes toes under covers of her own bed. Groans with how wonderful being supine feels after this week.) I'll whip something up in the morning, er, midmorning. (snores)

[BEAR]

Bry: What time is the barbecue?
Rosita: Not sure.
Bry: Hmmm...well, we'll need to get to the market in the morning to pick up some things.
Telly: What do we need to buy?
Bry: We'll make a list tomorrow before we go.
Big Bird: Let's not forget the birdseed!
Bry: Don't worry, Big Bird. It's at the top of the list.
Big Bird: Oh good!
Snuffy: I sure hope Sara makes that coleslaw. Yummy!
Bry: You like that stuff, huh?
Snuffy: Oh yeah! Coleslaw has cabbage in it and I looooove cabbage!
Bry: Well, if we want to get to the store in time in the morning, we should get some sleep. Goodnight all!
Telly: Night, Bryan!
Rosita: Buenas noches.
Snuffy: Nighty night!
Big Bird: Goodnight!
Hoots: Dream a little dream for me, kids!

[The Count]

Hmmm... Not sure if the BBQ should be today Saturday in the late afternoon so most people can come and the music takes us into the night. Or if it should be on Sunday. Eh, maybe late afternoon today would be best.
We'll have to get to the supermarket pretty early, not too early so as to miss out on our Saturday morning shows, especially the Yugio series finale.
Count: That's 6, 6 TV series finales.
Yeah, must be the year of the TV kill-off this time around.

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Martin: Thanks Ally. I don't mind the beanbag.
Bill: Nor do I.

(they both sit down into them)

Martin: Bill has recently brought it to my attention that I didn't really ever say a proper thank you for the card you gave us to say thank you for the time we offered our hospitality to Emmet when you went away for your Aunt's funeral. I want to apologize for that. I have been neglecting a lot of people here lately.
Bill: You okay telling it all yourself Martin?
Martin: (takes a deep breath) Yes Bill. My mother has a lymphona in her face which is believed to be treatable and she is to start kimotherapy very soon.
I fear I have been laid back in my own corner. Mum and I are both positive about it and we have personal faith in God that whatever happens she will be in safe hands and I feared I would seem to be too spiritual in some people's eyes. But Bill showed me I shouldn't let it worry me like this and I can mix with the folk here and not have to appear that way at all.
And I'm so glad I've broken the ice by coming over to say this to you and Emmet.
Bill: That's right. He needs to have friends support at this time and only he can allow or prevent it to happen.
Martin: (wipes his forehead with a handkerchief) Yes that's right. Thank you Emmet and Ally for listening to me. (puts a hand on Bill's shoulder) Thanks to you also Bill.
Bill: Here Martin. Let's see you smile now (he blows some bubbles)
Martin: (laughing) Oh thank you Bill. They are so beautiful aren't they Ally? Emmet?

[The Count]

*Dressed up and at one of the town's supermarkets, check the Hensonville Layout thread for their names and which one you'd prefer to go to.

OK, you guys know the game plan?
Count: I'll go get the wegetables.
UD: The livestock's mine to haunt down.
Good, and I'll head on over to the bakery section and get Grover's help if he's working there.
UD: Won't we need to make sure we can afford everything?
Are you kidding? With two living calculators amonst us?
*Count and I laugh a little. Now get you two spooks, we need to get what we need for the BBQ later.

[Erine81981]

Herry. Cookie Monster.

Herry: Yea Kyle?

You and Cookie Monster are going to pal around with Bryan's friends and all when I head off to work. Grover doesn't come home from work until 6. So I'll leave him a note and all.

Herry: Ok.

Cookie M: Ok. Lets go play in the pool.

Herry: Sounds like fun!

I'll be down by in the common room reading. So just let me know and I'll get all the stuff ya'll need for the party.

Herry: Thanks Kyle.

Your welcome Herry. Ya'll have fun.

[Erine81981]

Grover: Yes may I help you? *looks up* Hey Ed. Count. Glad to see you here.
You needed something? Some meat. Ok. *starts cutting some meat* Whoops! This thing is hard to use. Whoops! I keep cutting to small.

After a few minutes go by Grover finally gets all the meat cut for Ed.

Grover: There you go Ed. I can not wait for the cookout. I will be home at 6. So I will see you and the rest of you there. Thanks agian Ed. See yea Count. Ok who's next? *see's Mr. Johnson* Hello there sir. How may I help you?

Mr. Johnson: Oh I would love some....*sees Grover*...its you!? Oh no. Not again! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! *runs away*

Grover: Some people just can not stand still enough for some meat or cheese. Oh well. Next!

[The Count]

*Getting back to the dorms... Sure nice of Grover to help us back there.
OK... Hope everyone's back from the store. *Gets bowl of humus, puts spoon into bowl, and gets a glass of tea.
There, now we'll have something to snack on while we work.

*Preps burgers by cutting them into bat shapes, washes veggies, and starts marinating the meat.
Sure hope some of the stronger guys will help setting up the grill and handling the flames.

[RedDragon]

Only a few more days til my b-day shindig...It's early because SOMEONE has to go to Israel

<rolls eyes>

Just kidding....I can't wait, I can't wait

<bounces off walls>

What to do, what to do....I know what Lisa would say. "Write, girlie, write!" But I'm not a writing power house like her...she is such a nagger, but I would never write if she didn't do her thing. What will I do when she leaves...Beau'll just have to pick up the slack, I guess

<Stomach: rumble, rumble>

I guess I should eat....

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: *Hobbles into the kitchen, leafing through some old recipes.* Hmm...these are great sounding guys...

Scooter: *Carrying two huge bags in his hands.* What are we making again?

Sara: We are making my grandmother's chocolate-cherry muffins, as well as coleslaw, and potato salad.

Jerry: Where's the potatoes then?

Sara: Huh? What do you mean 'where's the potatoes?'...oh great. I forgot to buy potatoes. Oh well. Coleslaw and Chocolate-Cherry muffins it is.

Jim: *Starts to work on the Coleslaw with Frank, and Jerry.*

Sara: *She and Scooter start to work on the Chocolate-Cherry Muffins.*

[The Count]

Oh sorry Sara... Got the potatoes over here... Sorry, guess I bought a bit much. Making three batches, one with apples, one without, and my aunt's pink potato salad which has radishes. The Fraggles may like that one.
*Working on stuff for the cookout.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: All right, I've got everything I need to make the taco dip!
Mokey: We've got all we need to make the Doozerstick pie!
Red: Then let's get to work!
*they head to the kitchen*

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: Oh thanks Ed!! We're making good ol' Southern potato salad.

Scooter: Tons of artery-clogging mayonasie. >>

Sara: Yes. Mustard, mayo, potatoes, lots of dill and rosemary. And a good bit of celery. *Starts to work on the potato salad as well, as the Chocolate-Cherry muffins cook in the oven. The smell of them fill the entire dorms.*

Jim: Those muffins smell so great, Sara!

Jerry: Arn't they cupcakes though?

Sara: Well, they're both actually. The sweetness of a cupcake, but the consistancy of a muffin, which has just too much in it. XD Yeah, gooey, sticky sweet and very tasty. Can't wait for them to be done!

[BEAR]

(Herry and Cookie Monster coming in to see Ed)
Herry: Hey, Ed. Did I hear you say you needed help moving stuff? I can just use my strong muscles to carry things. Come on, Cookie Monster.
Cookie: Ooooh! (starts sniffing the food on Ed's table)
Herry: Cookie!
Cookie: Whah?
Herry: Let's go!
Cookie: Okay.
(both go out to set things up for BBQ)

[BEAR]

Bry: Okay! We have everything we need. Let's get cookin'.
Rosita: I'm going to start making mi abuelo's special guacemole dip.
Snuffy: Mmm, sounds good.
Rosita: Yeah, it's one of my favorites. Bryan, would you help me cut up the avocados?
Bry: Oh, sure, Rosita.
Rosita: Gracias.
Bry: Big Bird, maybe you can help me out with the birdseed cookies. How does that sound?
Big Bird: Sounds good. Are we still having birdseed milkshakes too?
Bry: You bet!
Big Bird: Yay!
Bry: (Slicing up an assortment of vegetables and eggs and meats for a salad and puts them in a bowl) This is for the cobb salad. Telly, would you toss this for me?
Telly: Sure! (picks up bowl and throws it out the window)
Bry: Telly!!

[The Count]

Thanks Herry and Cookie. Don't worry Bry... There's some shade outside so I think Hoots probably grabbed the bowl before anything spilled.
OK... My salad's done, it's got potatoes and mayo and hardboiled eggs, onions, peas, peppers, and apples. Made another batch with radishes, don't think I'll make a third though. Besides... They were used up for Sara's salad.
Count: 1 potato, 2 potato, 3 potato 4...
Mmm, that reminds me of the song Cinnamon.

We'll need some for this pecan pie I picked up at the market.

OK, meat's done marinating and the burgers are ready. Veggies washed and sliced to top off the burgers.
Come on guys, we're going outside to grill it all up. Oh hi Beth, just put the Mex dip on the table there.
*Others start grabbing some of the chips and dip with glasses of tea/lemonade.

[daughterdeadly]

Ally: Aww... Martin, Bill... you guys are just too sweet! *Reaches out to touch one of the bubbles.*

Emmet: And, uh, we're really sorry about your mom... we only wish the best of luck torwards you and your family...

Ally: *Nods head.* Yeah. Now come here you two, you've just earned your selves some hugs! *She laughs, hugs the two, then pokes gently at one of the drifting bubbles.* Ha, ha! That's so far-out!

Emmet: *Get's his share of hugs and curiously asks* Are we gonna make it to the BBQ, guys?

Ally: Hmm... sure, Of course we'll have to shop for our share of the food for it... I'm not much of a cook but... oh, well. We have to bring something. *Looks at Bill and Martin.* Are you guys gonna make it? Well, we'll let you think on that... I'm so sorry you two, but before it's to late I figure me and Emmet should round up our supplies for the BBQ.

Emmet: You're welcome to come with us!

Ally: That's right... But if you cant... that's fine too. Come on, Emmet. Let's get to gettin'... *Pauses and hugs the two again.* We'll see you around... Thank's so much, guys!!!

*Emmet and Ally skip out of room 8 rather happily on their way to the store.*

[The Count]

*Goes back inside to get some utensils for serving salads. Oh hi Ally, we got plenty of food already... Just come on and join the table. Me thinks the guacamole's finished...
*Heads on back outside.

[BEAR]

Oscar: Hey, didn't know there was gonna be tossed salad. Hehehe!
Bry: Oscar, there's not!
Hoots: Don't worry, Bry. I got the salad right here. It's safe.
Bry: Oh good! Thanks, Hoots!
Hoots: No sweat. So, when does this shindig start?
Bry: Not for a little while.
Hoots: Good, I can go help set up the stage and everything for the entertainment. See you dudes later.
Bry: See ya!

[BEAR]

*Goes back inside to get some utensils for serving salads. Oh hi Ally, we got plenty of food already... Just come on and join the table. Me thinks the guacamole's finished...
*Heads on back outside.

Rosita: Coming, Ed! Just got to put in a little more pepper. (Gets the pepper shaker) Shake shake shake! (with small bowl of guacamole in one hand and a bag of tortilla chips in the other) Okay, here it is. (hands them to Ed.)

[Muppet Matt]

Matt: What should we bring!

Lips: Kool-Aid?

Matt: Great, lets go!

*Makes it and goes downstairs with roomies*

Ed, sorry we didn't bring anything else. I've been busy lately.:smirk:

No worries Matt... We got plenty of food already.
Thanks Rosita, just go put it on the table.

Hey, thanks Bry and Kyle for taking turns grilling the meat. *Smells.
Think it's ready. *Walks over to the dorm's outside side entrance.
*Ringing bell: Come and get it!!

[BEAR]

Herry: Kyle's here? I thought he was at work.
Cookie: Who cares. Let's eat!
Bry: Hey, Ed! Wanna grab me a drink please while I tend to the grill? Thanks, buddy.

[The Count]

Sure thing... Thought Kyle would be here after 6 PM. Maybe he's a bit late picking up Grover over at the supermarket.
*Serves two tall glasses with ice and iced tea... *Sets glass by plate near Bryan.

Thanks, Ed. (takes drink) Mmm refreshing. Kyle? No, haven't seen him back from work yet, but I'm sure he'll be around soon. Grover also gets off work around 6. Big Bird, your sunflower seed vegieburger is ready!
Big Bird: Thanks, Bryan! Looks yummy.

[tvlistingman]

ELMO: Boy that was some Cars movie

PETER: I loved that Cars Movie

ZOE: Are we going to the Barbecue

LITTLE BIRD: I made some birdseed cookies for the BBQ

PETER: and how about some oranges and bananas to go

ELMO: Yeah and some carrots and celery

ZOE: To the Barbecue we go!

[Ruahnna]

Catherine: I think those vegetables have marinated enough, Piggy. Here--help me take the zucchini and yellow squash slices down to grill. And grab the bowl with the onion slices and mushrooms, will ya?
Piggy: (sighing, but helping with a pained look) What's that thing you're wearing?
Catherine: (puzzled) What thing? (looks down) Oh--it's an apron.
Piggy: What does it do?
Catherine: What does it--well, um, you wear it when you are working in the kitchen and it's, um, supposed to keep you from getting messy.
Piggy: That one must be defective. You should take it back.
Catherine: (ruefully) Oh. Well, I am a little grubby again after this little cooking flurry. Let me take the apron off and dust off a little of this flour....
Better?
Piggy: Marginally.
Catherine: (pushing a brownie in Piggy's mouth as much to silence her as anything else) Hey--try one of these. Now let's go or we'll be late.
Piggy: (talking with difficulty) Mwoths bahg.
Catherine: Thanks--I like that recipe.

[Beauregard]

Bo: He's here!
Bobo: He's there!
Beau: He's...where?
Bobo: And who?
Bo: I should explain...I am here, back, etc, at least as long as my computer doesn't die...I am here.
Beau: Oh good!
Bobo: *hides pizza crusts* We didn't trash a thing.
Beau:; Except that television and the fridge and...
Bobo: *shuts Beau up*
Bo: *sudden hugs for Beau and Bobo*

[Beauregard]

Beau'll just have to pick up the slack, I guess

<Stomach: rumble, rumble>

I guess I should eat....

Bo: Just so long as I don't have to pick up her room
Beau: Wouldn't it be too hea-vy?
Bobo: Snaks sound nice...

[The Count]

Hey Bo... Come on up to the cookout, we're out in the patio area.
Oh hey guys... Mmm, think these carrots and celery would be best for some of the salads.
*Runs a quick chop and drops them into a small dish so others can take some and add it if they want.

Hope everybody's here already. The devilled eggs Prairie and Kathy brought smell great, so does Sara's cole slaw, the birdseed cookies, and practically everything else.
Welcome to the dorms' Summer 2006 BBQ!

[Beauregard]

Bo: Shall we?
Bobo: Food? Outdoors cooking, I'm there.
Beau: how can they cook the out-doors?
Bo: ...
Beau: Are they different to in-doors?
Bobo: Oh brother.

[The Count]

Well... We'll just save Bo and his roomies some food if they can't make it. *Fills up tumbler glass with iced tea, gets help in loading the plate with a dressed-up bat-burger and chips, along with a bowl filled with cole slaw, some potato salad, and a couple of dips.
Ah... Good eating. Wonder when the others will get here and start up the music. Kinda feel like the night's perfect for Grandma's Feather Bed.
Well... Here's to everybody's health.

[Muppet Matt]

Dr. Teeth: As soon as the rest of the band gets here we'll start jamm'n.............. Grandma's Feather Bed!:D

Hoots: (with saxaphone in wing) Hey, let's get this BBQ rolling with some music!!

[The Count]

*Sits down at seat with Count and Uncle Deadly who also have their food served... Yeah, come on guys, music's what we need.
Kinda surprised the Country Trio haven't gotten here yet. Maybe they're helping Sara and Scooter with something. Oh hey Matt, glad you could make it. Drinks are over there, the food's all set up on the long table.

[BEAR]

Hoots: 1, 2, 3, 4! (along with the rest of the Birdland Band plays a rockin' Sesame Street theme)
Bry: Good food, great music. What more could we ask for?
Grover: (in waiter garb pops up) The chicken or the fish, sir?
Bry: Grover! You're off from work...atleast, I thought you were.
Grover: Always looking to pick up a little extra change here and there. What will it be?
Bry: Well, in that case...I'll have another hot dog.
Grover: Hot dog. You got it. Frankie!!
(a cocker spaniel muppet dog walks in wearing sunglasses and a beach towel)
Frankie: You called?
Bry: Grover, what is this?
Grover: You said you wanted a hot dog. Be sure to keep him in the shade and give him plenty of water. He is easily seseptible to heat stroke.
Bry: Oh, brother. (gets up and goes to the ice box)
Grover: What, no tip?! Talk about cheap. Come on, Frankie. Let us get some food.
Frankie: Okay.

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Have a birdseed cookie, Cookie Monster.
Cookie: (eats a cookie) Ooh! That delicious! (smacking lips)
Rosita: Hola, Bryan.
Bry: Hey, Rosita. Enjoying yourself?
Rosita: Oh yeah. Say, whatever happened to Baba and all those guys that used to live with him? Haven't seen them around for a while.
Bry: Hmmm...you may need to ask Ed about that. That's a good question and I'm not even sure either.
Telly: Yeah, same with that other guy.
Bry: Supermuppet was his alias.
Snuffy: Yeah, I thought for sure they'd be here.

[The Count]

Yaey!! *Claps. Man, that's the one I've been waiting to hear ever since the first trip we had to SS back when the old dormhouse was still standing.
Maybe I'll grace the stage with a song too... But that can wait, right now it's time to dance.
*Square dance starts up and dorm residents take to the stage.

[BEAR]

Big Bird: (dancing) Oh this is fun!
Telly: Yeah! Hey, maybe we can do some triangle dancing next!
Big Bird: Triangle dancing?

Bill: Hey Hey Hey! We're here. I'm Bill and bubbles come out of my head.
Martin: And I'm Martin. Bubbles come out of my simple bubble wand. Sorry I've been so un-sociable lately everybody but I want to start changing that today please.
Bill: We brought some pork and beef sausages and some chicken patties to contribute. Now now don't worry. They only came from ordinary pigs, cows and chickens. Not from the muppet variety.
Martin: And please allow us to entertain you all in our usual way.

(they blow great big bubbles all around while they perform a remarkable sort of soft-shoe dance step together)

[Katzi428]

Prairie:Mmmm...everything is delicious!!
It sure is!I hope everyone is enjoying thev tuna macaroni salad & the devilled eggs. I just hope I didn't put too much dry mustard in the devilled eggs.
Prairie:You didn't.
How do you know?
Prairie:Well...I...er...took one & ate it.
*laughing a bit* You're a piece of work,Prairie.:)

[The Count]

Aw come on Kath... You know the chef's allowed to taste a little bit of their work.

Bry: Huh?
Big Bird: There are people outside.
Bry: I guess the barbecue is still going on.
Telly: You told us to go to bed.
Bry: Well, I didn't realize it would be happening all weekend. I figured the party would be ending at some point last night.
Rosita: Sleep is good for you, but I would love to go back outside for some barbecued breakfast.
Bry: Okay, let me change my clothes.
All: Horray!
Big Bird: I'll go get Snuffy.

[The Count]

Heck no, it's still going strong buddy. Gotta get all the stragglers in you know.
*Finishing off a couple of spare ribs, chugging a bit of tea, and wiping my hands and mouth.

Well, lots of friends here at the cookout... Maybe we can get a little "a la mode" music over there on the piano from ol' Brown Ears?
*Piano tinkling starts as the song begins...

Me: Long long time ago...
I can still remember how the Muppets
Used to make me smile.

I could make those silly creatures dance...

Lips: And can music save your mortal soul?

No verdict was returned.

Hoots: The sergeants played a marching tune.
Bryan: We all got up to dance.
Ah, but we never got the chance.

Miss Piggy: The actors tried to take the field.
But the stupid musicians refused to yield.
Catherine: Now do you recall what was the deal.
The day the Muppeteer died.

All: So bye, bye, Miss American Pie.
Drove my chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry.
Them good ol' boys drinkin' whiskey and rye...
Singing this'll be the day that I die...
This'll be the day that I die.

*Music softens back to a tinkling melody.
Me: I saw a girl who was playing the blues.
So I asked her for some happy news.
Lisa: But she just smiled and turned away.

Snuffy: But not a word was spoken.
Herry: The churchbells all were broken.

Kermit: And the man I admire most.
Caught the last train for the coast.
The father of this froggy host.
Me: The day the Muppeteer died.

Me, quietly: So bye, bye, Miss American Pie.
Drove my chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry.
Them good ol' boys drinkin' whiskey and rye...
Singing this'll be the day that I die...
This'll be the day that I die.


All, in a sad yet happy slow tone: So bye, bye, Miss American Pie.
Drove my chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry.

Bye, bye, Miss America Pie...

Not time to go yet, though.

Grover: Kyle? What you still doing here? Are you spoused to be at work.

Weeellll....*whispers* I called into work today. I just need sometime off. I've already put in mine time for my vacation. Just lazying around today and the next two days.

Then lets go!

Cookie M: *carring a floaty around his belly* Wait for me!

[BEAR]

Bry: Well, this BBQ is fun, but we can't stay long. The Tony's are coming on soon. Unless you wanna bring the TV out here, Ed.

[Muppet Matt]

Dr. Teeth: Any requests for songs?

[BEAR]

Rosita: Oh, Beth! I never got to ask you about your wedding! How was it? I would love to see pictures. I bet you looked beautiful.

Yeah... Why not play Grandma's Feather Bed while we put away all the stuff that's leftover and clean up the grill.

Grover, Herry Cookie Monster and Emmet: When you meet somebody who don't like soulfood they still got a soul

Heh... That was good guys. Oh hi Sara, hope you enjoyed yourself at the BBQ, that cole slaw was great.
And if you liked the song we sang... There's another fan-made version at the Original Sesame Street Lyrics Archive called "When The Muppets Cried" expressing the same sort of sentiment.

But it's late now, and I can't think of a better way to finish... Than a slice of pecan pie with some vanilla ice cream on top. Now who wants some?

Mokey: Oh ok, you should get some rest then
Beth: I think I will
Red: We'll clean up the dishes
Beth: Thanks! Hopefully my pictures will come this week so I can share them with all of our dorm friends

[The Count]

Just so long as it gets posted Beth.

Well, then I suggest some of the other desserts made by our friends such as the chocolate cherry muffins from Sara or the Doozerstick pie from the Fraggles, or some brownies by Kathy or Cathy.
*Serving piece of pie with ice cream for Cookie Monster. Here you go.
Hmm, don't think I have any blue-flavored ice cream... But here's a trick.
*Serves pie and ice cream for Grover, drizzling blueberry sauce on top. There, sweet and blue for you my friend.
*Serving Herry and Kyle. *In whispers to both: There are some cookies too, not sure if CM should know... And wasn't he bringing some from his mom, those legendary apple-walnut-raisin ones?
OK guys... Have a good night.

The dorms were brought to you by the letters B and Q and by the number 19.

Prairie:That barbecue was fun! Whew...I'm *BURP* stuffed!Excuse me.:o
You're excused.:) And yes..the barbecue was fun.I'm happy everyone enjoyed everything. No leftovers though...which is good!Our friends had their fill of everything.
Prairie:Right...I don't think I'll be able to eat anything for the next few days.Ooohh..my poor stomach!
You're not going to be sick are you?

Telly: Bryan?
Bry: Yes, Telly?
Telly: What is a whiskey and rye?
Bry: (opening eyes) A what?
Telly: It was in that song about the pie we sang today. "Drinking whiskey and rye". What does it mean?
Big Bird: (sitting in his nest with Radar) Hey, yeah. What does that mean?
Bry: Oh! Umm...gee...(not sure how to explain it to the kids) Well...I'll tell you what--since Ed is the one that taught you the song, you should ask him. Nevermind what it is, you're too young to understand anyways.
Telly: Oh, okay.
Big Bird: (to Telly) I don't think he really knows.
Bry: Just go to sleep, guys.
Hoots: (chuckling quietly)
Bry: (To Hoots) What?

[The Count]

Yep... Another beautiful day here at the dorms. Wonder if there'll be any updates to the fanfics... Guess we'll have to wait and see.

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Bill: That was a superb barbecue. And wasn't Emmet brilliant performing that song with the Sesame Street Monsters Martin?
Martin: They sure were. I remember the version of it that he sang in his Jug-Band Christmas movie Bill. With his original partners. Harvey, Charlie and Wendell. They did a good job of recreating how it was sung in that film. Cookie Monster was an excellent substitute for Wendell.
Bill: Yeah. Aren't you glad we attended?
Martin: You bet. Best time I've had in ages. Well I need to think about my latest fan-fic ideas Bill. Let's go back to our dorm.
Bill: Cool. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: So, did you guys have fun at the barbeque last night?
Betty Lou: We sure did! And I'm glad we got back in time to watch the Tony Awards, too! I can't believe the Tonys have been around for sixty years!
Kim: Yeah, it is hard to believe. They showed some great moments, too.
Tosh: My favorite part was when they gave that Tony award to the lady who had hers stolen.
Gillis: It was a stunning show. All of that wonderful music and dancing...I'd love to go to that Broadway place they talked about one day.
Kim: Well, I can't do anything about Broadway, but how about the next best thing?
Boober: What do you mean?
Kim: A group of people from my church is taking a bus into Chicago to see Wicked in about a week. And I think there might be enough room for my roommates...
Betty Lou: You mean it? Oh, Kim that'd be fantastic!
Gillis: I'd love to go!
Tosh: Now we can see who these people are that you had us dress up as for Halloween last year!
Boober: Do we have to take a bus? I mean, being in an enclosed space with all those people...all those germs...
Kim: Well, it'd be a little stupid for us to fly up to Chicago, Boober. So are you in or not?
Boober: ... *sighs* Yeah, I'm in.
Tosh: That's the spirit, Boober!

Telly: And how about those Tony Awards last night.
Bry: Ya know, I was a little dissapointed in them. The show was kinda boring this year. Nothing real exciting or entertaining happened.
Big Bird: That Rod guy from Avenue Q was there. That was fun.
Bry: Yeah, that was possibly the only thing worth seeing. Oh well...so what are we doing today? I was thinking I'd do a little cleaning around here.
Big Bird: Bird and I were gonna go skating in the patio area. Right?
Big Bird: Right, Snuff!
Rosita: Well, I'll stay in and help you, Bryan.
Bry: Thanks, Rosita.
Telly: Yeah, me too. I need to reorganize my triangle collection.

[BEAR]

Bry: Been awfully quiet today.
Rosita: Yeah, I wonder where everyone is.
Telly: They're probably all still sleeping after that huge barbecue we had.
Bry: Or on vacation for summer.

[The Count]

Or taking care of other previously-scheduled appointments. No worries though... At least it gives you a chance to catch up on a few things you've been meaning to tend to. But it's OK, I'm sure our friends here at the dorms will stop and say Hello as they go about their busy little lives. Oh well, such is the nature of summer vacation.
UD: Hey, I thought Ryan would be back on the 10th of this month.
Yeah... Guess his return got messed up at the last second again. Well, just hope the shadows offer you some solice Uncle Deadly.
UD: Thank you my frightful fiend... Will just play myself a mournful little malady on the organ upstairs.
OK, the couch's made for whenever you get back.

[Katzi428]

Prairie:I heard you up in the middle of the night,Kath.You all right?
Yeah...my sinuses were acting up.The painkillers I took weren't helping much.So that's why I was tossing & turning so much.:(
Prairie:Gosh...I hope you're going to see a doctor about them.:concern:
Yeah...I probably will.

[The Count]

Well... If you need something to help Kath, just check out my Muppet Gathering intro or head on over and watch the DVD with the second episode of the Moppet Reunion.

[Katzi428]

Well... If you need something to help Kath, just check out my Muppet Gathering intro or head on over and watch the DVD with the second episode of the Moppet Reunion.
I read the beginning of the Muppet Gathering intro.Looks good!:)
I'll take another look at the Moppet Reunion.(My little Izzy is expecting more kittens!)

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: Hey guys, look! E-mail from Prawnie!
Clifford: Isn't he supposed to be back by now?
Gonzo: I told you he wouldn't be...
Lisa: Oh hush. Look. It says here, he promises he will be back on the 15th. Dang it, that's only three days before I leave!
Gonzo: Yes, that's only three days from now!
Rowlf: Ladies and gentle-things, the pessimist and the optimist.
Lisa: <Groans>

[Erine81981]

Grover: I would love to learn to do that.

Herry: Chopping in half?

Grover: No! That is not what I mean.

Cookie M: Me would love those good eats on there. Mmmmmm....*licks lips*

Herry: Oh Cookie Monster. Thinking of food.

Cookie M: Me just love food!

Let's just watch the movie. *eatting popcorn*

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Hey Cantus, Lisa heard from Ryan, he's now coming back on the 15th
Cantus: Oh good, that's not too much longer from now!
Red: I'm so glad he's finally coming back, not that we don't like having you here Cantus
Cantus: I know what you mean, it's all right
Mokey: We're going to have to have a welcome back party or something when he gets here!
Beth: That would be nice

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Martin: I'm putting my Fraggle Rock story on hold while I think about how I should put it Bill. It's a real challenge.
Bill: That's okay Martin. I'm sure you'll figure out how to tell the story sooner or later.
Martin: Thanks Bill. I know I can do it. I just need to be patient awaiting for inspiration to come.
Bill: Yeah. It'll hit you out of nowhere.
Martin: Well I'll take a rest for now. See you when I get up Bill. Perhaps I'll find inspiration in a dream.
Bill: Okay. Have a nice rest Martin.

[BEAR]

Big Bird: I can't wait for Ryan to be back, it's been so long!
Snuffy: Yeah, it's just not the same without our little buddy here at the dorms.
Bry: Yeah, I miss him too.
Rosita: (on the phone leaving message for Prairie) Hola, Prairie. This is Rosita. I hope Kathy is feeling okay, but just so you know, you are welcome to come and stay here whenever you want. I think you might be with us when Kathy is out of town but if she needs some space, Bryan says our door is always open to you. Looking forward to spending more time with you, chica. Adios! (hangs up)
Telly: Hey, Bryan! Can we go to the zoo this week?
Bry: Sure, maybe we'll go on Friday.
Telly: I've been wanting to see the elephants lately.
(the big grey Elephant barges into our room)
Elephant: Did someone say they wanted to see an elephant?! I'm an elephant! Tee hee hee hee!!
Bry: No!! Get out get out get out!! (pushed elephant out) Telly, never do that again! That elephant is the most obnoxious creature that ever came from Sesame Street.

[The Count]

Oh... You mean Little Joey? Sorry the dorms have been quiet lately... We're working on other things, like that fantasticaba... Oh great, now she's got me doing it too. The Moppet Family Reunion special. That, and a couple of other things. Just knock if any of you guys and gals needs us.

[tvlistingman]

(air conditioner on)

PETER: Whoo it is hot in here

ELMO: It is kinda like summer

ZOE: Which is on it's way

LITTLE BIRD: I agree

PETER: which is in 7 more days

ZOE: That's right

LITTLE BIRD: And After Birdkateers, we are going to go to the beach

PETER: Sounds good

ZOE: I agree with that

ELMO: Why don't we go swimming in the outdoor pool

PETER: Okay!

[Katzi428]

Prairie:Ahhhh....that pool felt good!You should have come with me,Kath.
Nah...I was cool enough here. I'll probably go with you tomorrow.
PrairieYou better!You shouldn't stay in the dorm room all the time.
I will....I promise.
Prairie:So,what did the doctor say about the sinus pain.
He gave me antibiotics & antihistamine.This all better work. I don't want to be miserable when I'm in New York.
Prairie:Well maybe the change of climate will help.How long are you going?
From Monday til Thursday. You'll be staying with Bryan & his crew.
Prairie:Sounds like fun.I get along with Bryan,Big Bird,Snuffy,Rosita & everyone else there.

[The Count]

Hope everything goes great on your trip Kath. BTW: You gonna see the Garfield movie this weekend? For some reason, I keep thinking of one of the characters from the animated series when I think of Billy Connolly's villain character in the movie.

[Katzi428]

Hope everything goes great on your trip Kath. BTW: You gonna see the Garfield movie this weekend? For some reason, I keep thinking of one of the characters from the animated series when I think of Billy Connolly's villain character in the movie.
Thanks Ed. I don't think I'll be seeing the movie this weekend though. My sister's friend wants to see it & my sister told her what a bona fide Garfield fan I am.:) So I'll be seeing it with her & possibly my sister.I know that we'll have a meowvelous time!

[The Count]

Just so long as the meowvie leaves you purring with delight. And the Garfield we all know is actually different from the first drawings I have in the first comic strip book. So's Jon for that matter. And I guess I kinda miss the series along with all the good times I had back then.
Heh, guess I'll just go about posting more of the story I started for Christmas in the summer. Maybe more tomorrow though.

[Erine81981]

I was thinking guys that since my couins is having a wedding and all that I have to go to Sweetwater to be in it. So would ya'll like to stay or come along

Grover: Go.

Cookie M: Oooo me haven't seen your mommy in a long time.

Well she should be welcome to see you there Cookie Monster. She always bakes when your there.

Herry: I can bring my weights and my teddy monster?

Sure Herry. I don't see why not. I'll make sure that none of the girls try and get it or hide. Remember that?

Herry: Oh yea. What a day that was.

Wonder if Oscar would love to go. He has a place that he used to visit back when I was growing up. If he doesn't want to Bryan can look in on him.

Grover: Where was that?

At my grandparents. Don't think he would go anyways. My grandpa is kind of losing it or you know. Don't know what he would think with a green thing in his trashcan.

Herry: Sorry to hear that Kyle.

It's ok. Just hope that my mom doesn't lose it all before he does. She's told me that he keeps coming over and banging on the door and all.

Cookie M: Poor Mrs. Mommy.

It's fine. Don't worry. Lets watch some "Good Eats" on the Food channel.

Cookie M: Oh boy. Me hope it's "cookies!"

Oh bother.....

[The Count]

Hello? Anybody here? Sure been quiet lately, wonder where the rest of the residents are.
Count: Maybe they're out and about, traweling here and going there.
UD: Or maybe they're all at the cinema, awaiting the next episode of the Moppet Family movie.
Yeah... Hope some of our friends noticed the story I got going, wonder where Lisa can be... She's usually the one who nags us to post more, well I have, even a chapter giving her the limelight...
*Slight chuckle: She'll turn up eventually.
Come on guys, let's go and hang out in the common room.

[Muppet Matt]

Sure been quiet lately,

Dr. Teeth: Quiet no more! Blasts into EM jam with speekers on ful blast!*

[The Count]

Thanks... Needed that.

[Muppet Matt]

No prob.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Eeeee! Look what I got!
Red: Cool! It's a bag!
Mokey: And it's got Kermit on it!
Beth: Yep, I finally got my very cool Kermit bag. I'm taking this everywhere I go
Red: Looks like you can fit alot in there
Beth: Yeah, it's very roomie, I'm SO excited!
Mokey: I'm so glad you're so happy!

[The Count]

Is that the ruc sac or the messenger bag Beth?

UD: Should've known this one would be the same...
What's the matt... Hey, oh I know now.

*Quietly: It's the 15th and Ryan's not back yet. Well, I'll just leave him alone to skulk in peace.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: It's sort of a tote bag Ed. Got it off of e-bay. I wish it was a messenger, but I couldn't find that one at my Target. I love the tote though, it's vintage looking. Anyway, Cantus is going to come up to see Uncle Deadly, he knows how he feels
Cantus: Yes, I'm heading your way right now roomie

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <enters room 24> I'M HERE!
Rowlf: Where have you been?
Gonzo: Where's Ryan?
Robin: WHERE is your HAIR?
Lisa: Why aren't you in bed?
Clifford: What's with the questions?
Lisa: How should I know?
Gonzo: Can we get some answers?
Lisa: Yes. I have been shopping, packing, sleeping at Nyssa's, writing like crazy, typing like crazy, and posting like crazy.
Rowlf: That's one question.
Lisa: Prawnie is at his aunt's house, he will be back Saturday, he promises.
Gonzo: Heard that before...
Lisa: Yeah, I know. And my hair, well, I got a little too close to the fan... No, actually, I cut it off for Locks for Love. I'm going to donate it on my trip. Meanwhile, it was about to the middle of my back, and as you can see, it's now about chin length when it's straight and lip-length when it's curly. I like it!
Rowlf: Very nice.
Lisa: Now Robin, why aren't you in bed?
Robin: Because I haven't had a bed time story.
Lisa: Get in bed, I'll read you my new chapter in a minute.
Robin: Okay.
Gonzo: <Sigh> I think I'll go sulk with UD and Cantus...
Camilla: Bawk bawk...
Clifford: Yeah, me too...
Lisa: I'm sorry, guys... <Calls after them> You have my permission to throttle him when he comes back!

[The Count]

UD, gliding through the darkness: Throttle him? No, no my dear Lisa... These things are done subtly. First we'll welcome him back. Then we'll frighten and scare him off... Then we kill him. But I digress, the organ's calling my name and I must tend to it.
Good to see you back Lisa. That's a nice tote bag Beth. Gotta make the rounds, see you later.

[TogetherAgain]

Robin: <Sitting on bed, watching Lisa pack.>
Lisa: <Folding and rolling clothes, tucking them into a bag, and trying to figure out where to put various items. Looks up, sees Robin.> What's the matter, Robin?
Robin: ...Nothing...
Lisa: <Tilts head to side.> You're not very convincing. <Sits next to Robin.> What's on your mind?
Robin: <Quietly looking at all the things set out for packing.> It's a lot of stuff.
Lisa: Well, I'm going to be gone for a while.
Robin: How long?
Lisa: About six weeks. You know that.
Robin: Oh... That's a long time.
Lisa: Yes, it is a long time.
Robin: Do you have to go?
Lisa: Yes, Robin. I have to go.
Robin: Why?
Lisa: Because, this is the sort of thing that you only get one chance to do. This is my chance, and I'm doing it.
Robin: ...Okay. I'm gonna miss you, though.
Lisa: I'm gonna miss you too. <Hugs Robin.> You wanna help me pack?
Robin: Not really.
Lisa: Yeah, neither do I.
Robin: When is Ryan coming back?
Lisa: He should be back tomorrow.
Robin: What if he isn't?
Lisa: Then when he does get back, we get to pelt him with muffins and penguins.
Robin: But where are we going to go when you're gone?
Lisa: You'll probably go with Prawnie. Although, he doesn't know that yet.
Robin: What if he can't take us?
Lisa: He should be able to, considering how long we've had Gonzo, Camilla, and Clifford here.
Robin: But what if he can't?
Lisa: Well then, we'll find someone else. But Prawnie should be able to.
Robin: Okay.
Lisa: <smiles> I'm not going to leave you alone with the Chef, if that's what you're worried about.
Robin: Oh I wasn't worried. I was just wondering.
Lisa: Oh good. I'd hate for you to worry. <Looks at the piles of stuff to be packed.> Um... What do you say we go for a walk?
Robin: Okay!
Lisa: And maybe we'll get some ice cream, too. Sound good?
Robin: Yeah!
Lisa: All right. <Stands up, shakes fist at the piles of stuff.> Let's go.
Robin: Okay! <Stands up>
Lisa: <Runs for the door> Last one out is a rotten egg!
Robin: Hey, wait up! <Runs after Lisa>

[redBoobergurl]

Mokey: *calling Lisa* Hey Lisa, if Prawnie's not back or doesn't want to take all your roomies in, we're happy to have little Robin down in our room, Red can take him swimming and stuff, just thought we'd let you know.

[The Count]

Yep... Gonna be an interesting summer. If Prawny comes back, then we'll have a small get-together t welcome him back and send off Lisa. If he isn't back, then I think Lisa should make some arrangements to have her and Ryan's roomies looked after.
Here's what I have so far in terms of the summer travels. Please, those of you who are mentioned confirm if tis is accurate.
Prairie will bunk with Bryan when she leaves on her 4, 4 fabulous trips this summer.
Scooter will come downstairs and stay with the Count, Uncle Deadly if he's still with us, and myself when Sara leaves for D.C.
Beth's offered to take in Robin, not sure if she'd also welcome Rowlf if Cantus is still with her as well.

Here are some added suggestions:
Kyle could look after Gonzo and Camilla, and maybe Clifford also if Lisa and Ryan are both gone. Contact him and please LMK.
The Swedish Chef can just take up residence in one of the common rooms, behind the kitchen counter... Or maybe Catherine might want to take him in as a temporary personal chef for herself and Piggy until Lisa gets back. Contact her and please LMK.
That is all for announcements fright now.

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: *groans, laying on her bed*

Scooter: What's wrong?

Sara: I'm. Not. Going. To. D.C.

Jim: *perks head up, looking down from the top bunk.* What!? We thought you were going to go see that museum exhibit!

Sara: No....*sits up in the bed, and gently swings her bad knee over the edge of it.* I strained another ligament playing with my friend, and I can't walk for longer then 20 minutes before it starts feeling like someone is shooting flames at it. *looks to the side, frowning. Takes on a snivelly tone to her voice.* Plus the hotels are WAY too expensive in DC.

Scooter: Too expensive? The hotels?

Sara: Yes. Momma wanted to get a hotel for about $60 a night. She basically wanted to do this trip for under $1,000. Which...isn't possible right now. And she also has trouble walking, because she has arthtisc in her knees. Shes...overweight, like I am. >> So, combining not enough money, with bad knees, and a small dog in the mix....equals no trip to DC.

Jerry: That's too bad. Are you still going to go somewhere though?

Sara: Yeah, we're hoping to go to this little hotel down in Daytona, Florida...I think it's called Cabana Motel. It's on the beach, really beautiful sunsets and sunrises. It'll be nice. And I'll only be gone for a week. The second week in July. So it won't be too long!

Frank: Good deal, huh?

Sara: Oh yeah, really good deal. I won't get to see the exhibit....but I'll still have a fun time. Plus swimming in a pool will help my knee some. ;)

Scooter: *hugs gently* It'll be a nice vacation, won't it?

Sara: Definately. It will be pretty sweet. I just wish you guys could come along.

Scooter: I'll go with you!

Sara: Sure! I'll tell Ed, you're coming with me, Scooter. You guys wanna come too? *Looks up at the Trio.*

Jim: Naw, we'll just stay here. Keep the guys company. Plus 4 guests is too much ain't it?

Sara: *dosn't really want to say it, but she nods slowly.* Yeah...it is a little too much.

Scooter: Daytona Beach! Awesome!!

Sara: *Laughs, and is really happy again.*

Scooter: What's in Daytone Beach?

Sara: A lot of stuff, Scooter. You'll love it!

[The Count]

That's OK Sara... Just hope your knee and ligaments get better. Maybe a few fellows' songs could put you in a good mood. Knock if you need me.

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Bill: Have you heard Martin that poor Sara has had to cancel her vacation at D.C.?
Martin: No kidding? How come?
Bill: Well among other reasons she has hurt her injured knee a teensy bit more in the ligaments and it's really hurting her to be on her feet for long periods.
Martin: That's a shame. No holiday. How disappointing.
Bill: Actually she does have a replacement holiday planned with her parents. A week at a beach hotel in Daytona Florida and Scooter has decided to join her.
Martin: That's great. Bill let's write her a please get well soon card and a bon voyage card combined into one. I think she and Scooter will really love that.
Bill: Sounds like a very nice idea. And when we deliver it we must let them all know about your mother recently getting back home from her tests in Brisbane City Queensland. Hopefully she will start her chemo soon here in Rockhampton. They'll all be pleased to know she is going to do fine.
Martin: Oh yes. Where's my wand? I bought us some more bubble liquid at the shops yesterday Bill. Have a big drink. We need to cheerfully celebrate that and let's write this card and go see Sara and her friends.

They compose the card and go knock on Sara's door to deliver it.

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: *hobbles over to the door, opening it.* Hey guys! Oh...a card? Thank you so much! Well, the trip has also been changed...once again.

Scooter: *sitting at the computer, looking at the details for Hurl Rock Motel.* The Cabana Motel is apperently no more.

Jim: *tuning up his banjo* It closed down?

Sara: *goes back to sit on the bed, and invites Bill and Martin to sit in the two chairs at the desk.* It isn't just closed down, Jim. It's completely gone. Apperently a few years back, either due to hurricanes or merely because of real estate, they tore down about 85 small hotels along the beach shores. So...we're going to Myrtle Beach.

Scooter: That's still a good trip, isn't it?

Sara: Oh yeah. And it'll be cooler, Scoot; cause we know everything about Myrtle Beach. We can go to all the best places, and not spend time trying to find them! It's really great.

Jerry: It still isn't DC though.

Scooter: Yeah, Jerry. It isn't DC. But it'll be nice.

Sara: It'll be really nice. Really great actually. Plus...we can go to Broadway on the Beach...go to the Discovery Store....and buy Mythbusters Season 2!!!! And guess what? In Season 2....they blow up the concrete truck. YES!!!

Scooter: Yeah!!!

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Martin: Well we're glad you're actually going somewhere Sara.
Bill: And we sincerely hope that this trip works out this time.
Martin: Yes. Bon voyage and good luck Sara and Scooter.
Incidentally we have good news to share with you all regarding my mother.
She took a day trip to Brisbane in Australia to have more tests and they went well. So she should start getting her chemo treatment hopefully in her own home city to make things a little easier.
Bill: And she will be okay.
Martin: You don't mind if we blow a few little bubbles to celebrate do you?
Bill: We're sure you don't.

The two of them blow big beautiful bubbles to everyone's amusement.

[The Count]

That's some good news Martin. Now if only we had something bigger to blow bubbles for... A certain cracker of shellfish returning to the fold as it were...

[The Count]

Hey Lisa... Hope you've finalized who's going to be staying with whom... In case that opener of shellfish mentioned above doesn't get here before you leave.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: *calling Ed* Of course Rowlf would be welcome here too if Ryan doesn't come back soon! The more the merrier. Haven't heard from Lisa though so I guess we'll play it by ear.

[The Count]

But wouldn't it hurt playing it by ear? Can't we just use our hands instead?

[Katzi428]

Prairie will bunk with Bryan when she leaves on her 4, 4 fabulous trips this summer.

That is all for announcements fright now.
Uh...better make that 3 trips,Ed.
We've had more than our share of expenses this year so the cruise is off.I'm still going to NY (in a couple of days) & plans for MO. still look good. Also,plans for Disney World are set for July.

[The Count]

Glad to hear about your plans fur the summer Kath. Working here downstairs in the ol' lair, LMK if you need us.

[Katzi428]

*folding things & putting them in my suitcase*Whew! There...done.
*Gaffer hops in my suitcase just as I was about to shut it*
Ohhhh no you don't Gaffer.Nice try but you can't come to New York*picking her up and setting her on the floor*
Gaffer:Meow? *looking at me sadly*
Gaffie...I love you but you can't come with me.Prairie'll be here & you guys will be staying with Bryan and his roomies.
*Gaffer saunters off*
Prairie:Looking forward to going to New York,Kath?
Yeah.I won't be gone long,but at least it'll be a change of scenery.
Prairie:Yeah...and you need that.
Has it been that obvious?
Prairie:Well...yeah..*shifting uncomfortably in her chair*Kath...I didn't want to tell you this,but..well...you've been kind of a grouch lately. I miss the old Kathy who'd almost always be smiling.Since what happened with your friend,you just don't seem like yourself.And yesterday...WOW! I thought you'd bite my head off!:eek:
Oh Prairie....*hugging her* I'm so sorry.As far as what happened with my friend and I,I'll be seeing her tomorrow.Hopefully she'll act nicer.She's had a lot on her mind recently but didn't realize she was taking it out on me. And about yesterday.A former friend of mine called & just can't take the hint that she makes me angry and I don't want anything to do with her anymore. After I hung up on her,I just let the phone ring.
Prairie: Yeah...the Count was counting the rings!*laughing*
*laughing*He was?
Prairie:Yeah!Didn't you see the lightning & hear the thunder?
Oh gosh....no!
Prairie:Well he was!
*shaking my head in amusement* Oh good grief!
Prairie:Well...it's good to see you laughing.
Yeah...feels good too.Again,Prairie,I'm sorry.
Prairie:It's OK Kath.I'm glad that you and I are still friends.
You're definitely right about that!:)

[The Count]

*Takes cake out of the oven, then gets second cake out of the fridge.

Hey, gather round peoples... We're having a send-off get-together-again... To wish Lisa and Kathy a great time on their trips.
Hugs to all, there's chocolate cake here... Milk in the fridge. We'll miss you, but it'll be worth it to see you gals have a great summer vacation.

Prairie:Mmmmmm..CAKE!!!Thanks Ed & Count!
Yeah...that was really sweet of you.Thanks so much.:)
(BTW...I'm going to see "Garfield 2" tomorrow.It'll be great!)

[The Count]

Yes, I bet it'll be grrrrrrreat.
But how can you tell them apart? Oh, yeah, the sign that the tank is full, that gives him away every time.
Hope Toga staggers in to say farewell to her roomies and set them up with their temp caretakers... Either that, or at least has a piece of cake, a glass of milk, and a fragment of story I left her.

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <Sits out by the food and the people, notebook in lap.> Thanks, guys. Nice to get out of the dorm room- Everytime I look at my luggage, I start singing. <Sings> All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...
Robin: <Hugs Lisa> I'm gonna miss you.
Lisa: <Hugging Robin back.> I'm gonna miss you too, Robin.
Gonzo: <Pacing> Why isn't Ryan here yet?
Lisa: I don't know. He said he would be here... <Sigh.> He'd better get here soon, that's all I have to say. <Opens notebook, uncaps pen.> ...On second thought, that's not all I have to say. Gonzo, could you give me a hand with something?
Gonzo: <Claps>
Lisa: Seriously.
Gonzo: Coming...

[The Count]

Now where are those two off to?
UD, playing organ up on 3rd Floor's Common Room: They say I lead a very normal life. Yes, I hear voices singing and there's noone there... But the souls of long-ago forgotten friends comfort me at night. For I know that I'm never alone, as I lead a very normal life.

[Katzi428]

Yes, I bet it'll be grrrrrrreat.
But how can you tell them apart? Oh, yeah, the sign that the tank is full, that gives him away every time.
.
LOL...right! And Prince (Garfield's lookalike) has a British accent.:)

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: Thanks for your help, Gonz.
Gonzo: No problem! And hey, thanks for having us in your room for so long.
Lisa: My pleasure. It was no trouble at all.
Clifford: Well I'm not sure the Swedish Chef would agree to that.
Lisa: What, you don't think he liked being tied up in the closet? It's his own fault, he knows better than to chase Camilla like that.
Camilla: Bawk, bu-bawk!
Chef: Es toot mur Leeed, I'm surry, cheeckee. Boot yuoo dun't hefe-a tu vurry-vurty-vurry ebuoot it unymure-a. I'll be-a in zee keetchee vheele-a Leese's guney-gune-a ecruss zee veter-pund-sea.
Camilla: Bawk bawk, burg.
Rowlf: I'm almost starting to worry. Didn't Ryan say he'd be back today?
Lisa: Yes, he did. Well, the day's not over yet, I guess. Still... Well, he probably just... I don't know. Argh! Why isn't he here?
Gonzo: Maybe he got kidnapped by a Siberian circus and he's being forced to do acts like eating a pickled bicycle tire while balancing a wooden ladder on his nose and doing the hokey-pokey! ...I'm jealous.
Robin: Why?
Lisa: Somehow, I doubt that's what happened. But come here, guys, group hug. I'm gonna miss all of you.
Robin: We're gonna miss you too, Lisa.

[Erine81981]

Come on guys. Lets watch some Godzilla cartoons.

Cookie M: Godzilla!

Grover: I never really like that lizard guy. He seemed to smash everyones house.

Herry: Don't worry Grover. In this he's a good guy. He helps his friends and all.

Ok. Everyone ready?

Herry: Ready!

Cookie M: Ready!

Grover: I guess.

*puts in DVD* I just love cartoons!

[TogetherAgain]

<All occupants of room 24 go to Ryan's room>

Lisa: Okay... Come here, lemme hug ya... <hugs Camilla> I'm gonna miss having a girl in my room when I come back.
Camilla: Bawk...
Lisa: And I'll miss you when I'm gone, too. <Hugs Gonzo, kisses his cheek> You give Prawnie a good piece of my mind when he comes back, y'hear?
Gonzo: You got it.
Clifford: Now wait a minute. How come he-
Lisa: <Kisses Clifford's cheek> Got a kiss? <Hugs Clifford> I'm gonna miss ya, Cliff.
Clifford: Aw... Now you're makin' me cry!

<Lisa, Rowlf, Robin, and Chef head down to Beth's room>
Robin: <Hugs Lisa> I don't want you to go!
Lisa: <Hugs Robin> I know, Robin. I have to, though. <Kisses Robin's cheek.> You be a good little Frog Scout while I'm gone, okay? Have fun with Beth and Red and Mokey. You'll get lots of swimming in.
Robin: Okay...

[Muppet Matt]

SEE YA SOON LISA!!!!!!!!!!!!:excited::D;) I'll go check up on the gang a little later. Ok?

[The Count]

*Upstairs getting a snack... Bye Lisa, we'll miss you... And your stories... Have a good time and stay safe!

OK, so for the time being... Until Lisa returns...
The Swedish Chef will be in the 2nd Floor's Common Room kitchen area, and will have the same status as Oscar The Grouch.
Robin the Frog and Rowlf The Dog will be under Beth's care, along with Cantus the Minstrel until Ryan's return.
If he wants to, Kyle will be awarded the responsability of looking after Clifford, Gonzo, and Camilla the Chicken along with his three furry and blue roomies until Ryan's return.
Uncle Deadly will stay with me, again until Ryan's return.
And Prairie Dawn will be with Bryan while Kathy's away.
That is all for announcements.

Oh, and happy Father's Day to everyone here at the MC Dorms.

[RedDragon]

<waits patiently by the mail box> hmm-mm-mmmm

L: What are you doing?

Waiting for Lisa's first letter...

L: But...she just left...

So...what's your point?

L: It's gonna be awhile before she mails anything...

Well...It's not like I have anything better to do...

[BEAR]

Big Bird: (waving) Bye, Lisa!
Snuffy: (waving with his snuffle) Have a safe flight!

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Welcome Robin and Rowlf!
Rowlf: Why thank you!
Robin: *still a little tenative after Lisa left* Well, this looks like a nice room
Red: *walking over to Robin*: We're going to have so much fun Robin! Mokey and I will take you to the park and we can go swimming! It will be great!
Rowlf: See Robin, what did Lisa tell you? These guys are fun!
Robin *perking up a bit*: Hey can we go swimming today?
Red: Of course! It's a beautiful day to go swimming!
Beth: All right, swimming it is. First of all, here are your beds, they are air mattresses, Cantus says they are pretty comfortable
Cantus: Can't complain
Beth: So, how about we all go have dinner tonight and get ourselves better aquainted?
*everyone agrees*
Red: Come on Robin, let's go to the pool!
Robin: All right! I'm right behind you! *they hop away together*
Rowlf: Hey Cantus? Let's jam
Cantus: Sounds cool
Beth: This is going to work out pretty well I think
Mokey: I think you're right

[Muppet Matt]

*Goes to room #25*

Matt:Hi guys! I told Lisa I'd come and check on you. Is everything ok?

Clifford:Yeah.

Gonzo: We're fine!

Camilla: Bawk.

Matt: Ok, if you guys need anything just holler and one of us will come help.

Clifford: One of you?

Matt: Me, Dr. Teeth, Animal or Lips.

Clifford: Don't send Animal, ok?

Gonzo: No, send him!

Matt: Ok, If Animal comes someone will be with him. Ok, do you guys want to have dinner with us ?

Gonzo: Sure!

Matt: Ok then! Lets go and get the rest of the my roomies and go!

Camilla: Bawk Bawk Bawk!

[The Count]

Hmmm... Thought I said Kyle would look after those guys. Oh well, so long as someone's looking after them, I guess it's OK.
BTW: Matt, they're in Room #25, not 24. And you are aware your room's up on the floor above right? In any case, think it'd be OK for you to look after them for the day. I'm sure Kyle will LMK later if he can take over for you.
Just a friendly message, no worries. Have a good day everyone.

[Muppet Matt]

Oh! Ok, if you want to take over Kyle that's fine with me! Sorry about that.:o

[The Count]

No, it's OK Matt... Like I said, you can look after them for the day... Kyle will probably LMK when he gets home from work at one of the supermarkets here in town later.

[RedDragon]

<opens mail box> Yes! It's here!

L: A letter from Lisa?!

No, silly. The book I ordered on-line...<looks up at ceiling> It's time to see what really makes that boy tick...I wonder if he knows I bought this <shrugs>

L: Who's the author?

A friend...

L: How very vague of you.

I know <smiles mischievously>

L: Do I know him?

Maybe...

L: Nyssa!

Hahaha <runs up stairs to read book>

[tvlistingman]

PETER: Whoo, it is hot out

ELMO: Yeah

ZOE: Kinda like 90 degrees

LITTLE BIRD: kinda like summer

PETER: I will take you guys to the park to go swimming

ELMO: Okay, Peter

ZOE: I agree

LITTLE BIRD: Let's go to the Pool!

[redBoobergurl]

Robin: Thank you for taking me swimming Red, it was so much fun!
Red: No problem Robin! I think you taught me a thing or two out there!
Robin: Well, I am a frog. So, where do you think everyone is?
Red: Well, Beth said we'd all be having dinner together, I'm sure we'll meet up here. I'll bet Cantus and Rowlf are down playing music together by the piano. I don't know where Beth and Mokey are though.
Robin: Do you know how to play checkers? We could play that while we wait for them
Red: I don't think I've ever played that game. Can you teach me?
Robin: Sure! Boy, I can't wait to tell Uncle Kermit all about my new friends. I still miss Lisa, but I think I'll have fun here
Red: Of course you will! You're with me!
*they laugh*

[The Count]

*Getting back to the dorms... Well, at least now I've gone to see X-Men 3... An OK movie, few things weren't handled as well as they should've.
Hmmm, looks like I've got some fanfic reading to do.
UD: Yes, we're in here waiting for you Eduardo.
OK, I'm on my way.

[Katzi428]

I'll be leaving for NY tomorrow morning,Prairie.
Prairie:OK Kath....have fun!And don't worry about me.I plan to have a good time with Bryan Rosita & everyone:)
I know you will. See you on Thursday.Bye!

[Erine81981]

Hey guys. I'm home.

Grover: Glad to see you home.

Man did I work my butt off today.

Herry: I saw you out there. Man, what a hot day. *whips forehead*

Yep. You can say that again.

Grover: By the way. Ed wanted to know if you would look after Gonzo, Clifford and Camilla.

Uh I'll take to Ed when I get a change but whoever they stay with will be fine by me.

Cookie M: *yawns* Me sleepy.

Then go to bed. Your not trying to do what I think your doing. Are you?

Cookie M: What?

Oh nothing. Never mind. I'm going on to bed. See ya'll in the morn'.

Monsters: Good Night, Kyle.

Good night...*yawing*...

[BEAR]

Hey, Ed, do you know if Kathy's left yet?

[The Count]

It's possible... Haven't heard from her in a while, nor have I seen her online.
Oh well.
UD: A fine chapter Ed... Especially since I'm in it.
Thanks. Hope Sara finds it soon, got another chapter ready though it may be a bit short like the others. Got that one to get to, and then the big musical number from SS.

[redBoobergurl]

Robin: Hey Rowlf?
Rowlf: Yeah?
Robin: Would you read me the latest in Ed's story?
Rowlf: Sure, I'm enjoying it, it's a good read
Mokey: I wonder if Beth's had a chance to write anymore of her story
Rowlf: Well, she did have that thing at her church today and all this week
Mokey: Oh that's right! Well, maybe she'll have time later.
Rowlf: Hey, why don't you and I both read to Robin like we're acting it out
Mokey: Sure!
Robin: How fun!

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Where's Prairie?
Rosita: I think she's gonna come a little later this afternoon.
Bry: Let's get her bed all set up.

[redBoobergurl]

*Beth returns home from long day*
Beth: Hey guys! Cantus guess what?
Cantus: What?
Beth: Ryan's back! He's back and he's looking for you!
Cantus: Really? I think I'll go see him. Thank you girls so much for your hospitality, you were wonderful
Red: Come visit anytime!
Mokey: Yeah, it was fun having you!
*Cantus hugs all three*

[The Count]

Huh? Hey Beth, where did you hear Ryan was back for good? Cause last I knew, he went over to where we held the send-off party for Lisa and said he still wasn't permanently back.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: Say, why don't we take the old station wagon to go to the beach

ZOE: I agree with you

ELMO: The beach

LITTLE BIRD: So what are we going to watch on TV

PETER: ****'s Kitchen on FOX

ZOE: Gordon Ramsay

ELMO: Uh, he is a mean guy, and he berates everybody

LITTLE BIRD: He's British, is it Peter

PETER: He needs to take some anger management courses or lose his job if he does either a Booby Knight or Woodie Hayes

[redBoobergurl]

Huh? Hey Beth, where did you hear Ryan was back for good? Cause last I knew, he went over to where we held the send-off party for Lisa and said he still wasn't permanently back.
Got a PM from him looking for his roommates, I guess I assumed he was back, cause he said he finally had internet at his mom's house, but could be wrong. Guess we'll just wait and see! :)

[The Count]

Yep... Guess we will. He's got an old phantomly dragon here in our room who's been dreading the day he has to go back to the insanity in that room.
UD: And why wouldn't I look forward to the boy's return? So many ways to let him know I scare.

[BEAR]

*knock knock*
Bry: (opens door) Hey, Prairie!
Prairie: Hello there! Sorry, I hope I'm not too late.
Gaffer: Meow!
Bry: No, it's okay. You are actually just in time because we were about to get in bed. Hi, Gaffer.
Rosita: Hola, Prairie!
Big Bird: Hi!
Telly: Hello!
Snuffy: Hi.
Hoots: What's up?
Prairie: Hi, everyone.
Bry: We set up a little bed for you by the window next to Rosita. Hope it is okay.
Prairie: Oooh! Looks nice and fluffy. Thanks.
Goodnight.

[Beauregard]

Beau: *in bedroom* I'm sorry that I accidently closed to lid of the trunk.
Bobo: *pulling on swimming trunks*
Bo: Yeah, well, it's fine, but I do hate being stuck in my pirate chest/truck/thingie for such long periods of time, it's not good for digestion.
Bobo: *rip*
Beau: Uh oh...here we go again.

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Martin: Mummy has had her first helping of chemo today Bill. She telephoned me earlier to let me know how she was.
Bill: That's nice Martin. Is she fine?
Martin: Yeah. She is going to take it easy tomorrow. We'll see how she's feeling on the weekend. Maybe she'll be able to get together with me for Astroboy. We're nearly finished all the DVDs. Then we'll find something else to do.
Bill: Sounds wonderful. What are you doing now?
Martin: I've been reading Ed's story Muppet Family Gathering. I'll finish it shortly then I'll let him know how I like it.
Bill: Great. I'll read it too.
Martin: It's well worth looking at. Let me assure you.

[The Count]

*Leaves small bouquet at Room #13's doorstep, for Martin's mom.
Hope she pulls through. Now then, got a bit of sorting to do before sending some questions for the list...
*Walks back to Room #1.

[The Count]

Hmmm, things sure have been slow here today.
UD: What about posting more story?
Would, but I'm waiting to hear from Sara to see if she can help with what I asked for the next chapter.
Count: Then vhat have you been doing?
Going through the ML, searching for the stuff I want to ask KermieClown. Almost finished though.
BTW: Uncle Deadly, heard Ryan's roaming the halls, but he's not fully back yet.
*UD glides off to find Ryan and give him a big hug before coming back to our room.

[Erine81981]

(CRASH!)

What in the world was that? *running to the living room* Oh no..Gonzo.

Gonzo: Here I am in the flesh.

We just had that fixed. You not have made another hole in the door.

Clifford: Hey guys. Can w....uh oh? Did Gonzo make another hole in the door?

Yep.

Clifford: I've told him to stop but does he listen.

Camilla: Bawk!

Clifford: What was that?

Gonzo: She agrees with you. Sorry Kyle.

Thats fine. Just watch it next time.

Since Grover and Herry are working. Lets all go to the Zoo.

Clifford: I'll go wake the monster up.

Ok. I'll get the picnic basket ready.

[theprawncracker]

*roaming the dark halls* Man I miss these guys, but I'm just not completely able to come back yet...

*A creature's yellow eyes are seen behind Ryan and dart toward him*

AH!

Uncle Deadly *hugging Ryan*: Hello old friend.

Uncle D., darn I should've known I couldn't hide from you.

UD: Yes, you should've. So are you finally coming home from your extended journey away?

I'm afraid not Uncle D. But...I'm really trying this time I promise, I know I've been giving lots of false dates...But this time I promise. Soon.

UD: *nods* What should I tell the others?

Nothing...I know Gonzo's mad enough already...I'm dead when I get home aren't I?

UD: *chuckles* I suppose you might be. But it's not that bad my fiend. Except for not being able to eat lasagna on the third Wednesday in March...That always gets to me.

I know I know, I haven't forgotten about you guys! I love you, and I miss you. *hugs Uncle D.* I'll see you soon alright?

*Uncle D. nods as Ryan dissapears into the shadows once more*

[BEAR]

(from earlier this morning around 9 o'clock)
Telly: (waking up) *sniff sniff* What's that smell?
Rosita: Smells delicious!
Bry: (sitting up in bed and notices Prairie Dawn in the kitchen) Prairie?
Prairie: Good morning! Who wants breakfast?
Bry: Be careful.
Prairie: Oh I’m fine. This is easy cooking.
Big Bird: What are you making?
Prairie: Letter of the Day pancakes.
Snuffy: What is a Letter of the Day pancake?
Prairie: It is a pancake with the Letter of the Day spelled out in chocolate chips on the top. See?
Telly: Hey, it's the letter L!
Big Bird: Be careful. The Cookie Monster is just down the hall.
Prairie: Oh, I took that into consideration. I made his own plate. (giggles) Teeheehee
Bry: You really didn’t have to do this.
Prairie: It’s okay. I like it, and you were all so nice to let me stay here!
Rosita: Do you cook a lot for Kathy?
Prairie: Sometimes. Especially when she isn’t feeling well. Here’s a special poppy seed one for you, Big Bird.
Big Bird: Wow, thanks.
Prairie: You’re welcome.
Telly: Oh oh oh, Prairie! Can I have a triangle shaped one!
Prairie: A triangle shaped? Oh dear...I'll see what I can do.
Telly: All right! Haha!
Bry: I'll help.

[tvlistingman]

ELMO: Boy, what a day at the beach

ZOE: Man, i'm tired

PETER: I had a swell time at the beach

LITTLE BIRD: We played volleyball

ZOE: and Badminton

LITTLE BIRD: So why don't we watch According to Jim

ELMO: Okay

PETER: A Good Day at the Beach!

[BEAR]

Bry: Hmm...think I'm gonna go back to the normal pink for now...
Prairie: Hi, Bryan! What are...you doing?! Aaah!!
Bry: Prairie, relax. I am only changing your type color for now while you stay with us so it is easier to read when Telly is around.
Prairie: Oh. (scrunches face) Huh? Easier to read? What do you mean?
Bry: Nevermind. Did you have fun playing in the park today?
Prairie: Yeah!
Rosita: We had a great time.
Bry: Good. Well, I dunno about you all, but I'm hungry. Where shall we go for dinner?
Telly: How about Everybody Eats?
Bry: Sounds good. Then when we get back I need to wrap up Beth's wedding gift we never gave her.

[Erine81981]

Grover: So you and him and him and that chicken went to the zoo?

Cookie M: What can't you understand?

Grover: That one looks so weird.

Cookie M: That's what he calls himself. Weirdo.

Gonzo: *hanging upside down* Zzzzzz...Weeeeeeee...zzzzzz...

Grover: Weirdos? I am going on to bed.

Cookie M: Good night Grover.

Clifford: What are you still doing up Cookie my man?

Cookie M: Me just up for midnight snack. You want some?

Clifford: Nah..thanks anyways man. I have a new song I've been writiing. I want to see what Dr. Teeth thinks about it. Good night monster.

Cookie M: Good night cool man. *sits down and watches some TV*

[Erine81981]

Out in the hallway.......

Oscar: *pops out* What a horrable day this was. No one bothered me at all. Oh how I just love being a grouch. Oh by the way...todays letter of the day was the letter "L". And the number of the day was the number "12" as in 12 angry bugs....

A bunch of bugs scury away yelling in their buggy voices

...like I said before. Today was one horrable day. Heh heh heh heh.....*slams trashlid*

[The Count]

Gee... Wonder what everybody's up to today... Probably asleep, oh well. Think I'll tune in and see if a new episode of the Moppet Reunion's airing.

[Erine81981]

*yawning and getting up* Oh did I have a nice sleep. Glad my pinky toe is still doing alright. I just can't seem to wonder what I did with it. Oh well. Time for something to eat. What to fix? *turns on TV*

[The Count]

Hmmm... Wonder where everybody's gotten too. Dinner time, think I'll round up my buddies and head on out to Everybody Eats. I'm sure Bry and Kyle will find the story when they get back home to their own rooms.
*Snatches wallet and roomies and heads on out to the restaurant.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: I'm hungry

ELMO: Me Too

ZOE: Let's go to Everybody Eats for some ice cream sundaes!!!

LITTLE BIRD: and go play indoor minituare Golf

PETER: Sounds good!

[The Count]

*Back in Room #1... Boy, it's a good thing they stay open late over at Everybody Eats.
Count: Yes, makes it a good thing to be nocturnal.
Heh... Yeah, we got ourselves a good meal down there.
Well, hope everybody's OK... Think I'll head off to sleep in a little bit.
Good night everyone.

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: Well, it ain't Daytona Beach. But finally.....Hurl Rock Motel in Myrtle Beach, is great isn't it?

Scooter: Yeah, we've got a two room, huh?

Sara: Yep. Mom was balking at $84 a night, for a very nice, two room effeciency...until I showed her some of the other prices.

Jim: Get's really expensive dosn't it?

Sara: That's not the half of it. The sad part is, we're going to have to board my little chihauha, Bridget. So...she's not going to be with us.

Frank: She'll be fine.

Sara: She'll be fine? I really hope she is...she's skittish, has seizures....she's overweight. She's the sweetest little thing, and dosn't even bark. She's not a normal chi. But they said she'll probably get a whole run to herself, so she'll be alone, and in her little baby pen. Which'll be great for her.

Jerry: Baby pen?

Sara: Yeah. One of those old, soft-sided baby pens. We keep her in there. With her water, her dog bed, and her blanket. It's her own little home. And she can see what we're doing through the mesh as well. But she is usually in one of our laps most times. I really do hope she'll be alright though...

Scooter: She should be fine, Sara. Good thing is, you know Myrtle Beach too, don't you?

Sara: Definately. We've been going there for nearly....4 years now? Maybe 5 years? I know it like the back of my hand! It's a great place. So....Myrtle Beach in two weeks!

Scooter: YEAH!!!

[The Count]

That sounds really swell Sara. Hmmm, maybe Kath'll be back later today.
Oh, not sure if you saw the last I posted, more's on the way... Heh, just gotta make a mental note of how many Muppets'll show up. And I'll contact you when that's done for the next song(s) I'll probably need.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Boy, what a crazy week I'm having!
Mokey: Yeah, we've noticed you haven't been around much
Beth: Sorry about that guys
Red: It's ok! Mokey and I have been entertaining Rowlf and Robin
Beth: Did Cantus come back? I had a little mix up about Ryan coming back
Red: Nope, he's just waiting up there with the rest of his roomies
Beth: Oh ok
Rowlf: I've checked on them a couple of times, they're all right
Beth: That's good
Robin: Are you going to be able to play with us this weekend?
Beth: I hope so! I also really need to get back to that story I've been writing
Robin: Ooh! I like that story, Lisa was reading it to me. I'd really like to hear more
Beth: You're not the only one! I'll be working on it this weekend for sure, I feel bad leaving everyone hanging
Mokey: I'm sure they understand. Besides, we've had Ed's great story to keep us entertained
Beth: That's good

[tvlistingman]

PETER (watching the Little Bird next to segment on Youtube.com)

ELMO: What are you watching, Peter

[The Count]

Well... Looks like it's closing time on the ol' dorms.
Before we go... The dorms have been brought to you by the letter K, for friends like Kermit and Kathy, who's back from NYC...
Count: And by the number 6. *Ghostly 6 floats out through the organ's pipes.
Good night everybody.

[Erine81981]

*opens the door* Hello everyone! What did the wather man say?

Grover: We are spoused to have some rain.

Gonzo: Ooooo maybe I can make an anttena out of my skull. That would be fun.

Grover: *whispers to Cookie* When is Rryan coming back. I do not think I can take anymore of this guy.

Cookie M: Me like him.

Grover: Go figure.

Herry: *walking into the living area* Hey Kyle. How was work?

Not bad. I saw Clifford picking up some dinner tonight. What did ya'll have for dinner?

Herry: Grilled Chicken with mashed potatos and green beans.

Your making me hungry. Any left?

Clifford: There sould be. If Cookie hasn't ate it all.

Hey Clifford. Thanks. I think I'm going to have some then.

[The Count]

Heh... Some rain... Suddenly, I'm reminded of that sketch at Charlie's with the glass of milk.
It's been thunderin' back home, not sure if the downpour's reached us here in town though.

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: Okay everyone, time for bed!
Roomies: Awww! *various noises of complaint*
Kim: Hey, remember what's tomorrow? Bus trip, Chicago, Wicked? I want you guys to be well-rested.
Tosh: But we're not leaving until the afternoon! Your mom said so!
Boober: So? Kim's right; we don't want to be tired for the trip!
Gillis: And I'll imagine it will be difficult to sleep on the bus, right?
Kim: *nods* Right, Gillis. And it's not just our church group that's going; there are going to be a couple other groups going along as well. So I'll imagine that the bus'll be pretty noisy. Plus, I've got errands to run before we go...
Betty Lou: Like what?
Kim: To the bank, for one thing. Souveniers of the show aren't going to be cheap. So, like I said...bedtime, gang.
Roomies: *general grumbling of acceptance*

-Kim

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Martin: Hopefully my mother will be able to see me tomorrow Bill. I'll give her the bouquet of flowers that Ed dropped by for her the other day.
I've written a thank you note for him and I'll send it to room 1 now.
Bill: Good Martin. And how is the Astroboy series going?
Martin: Almost finished Bill. I've played her 44 out of 51 episodes. We'll do what we can tomorrow so we'll have them all finished soon.
Bill: I'm glad for you both. I hope you can find the time to work on more fan fics as well.
Martin: Yes but at the moment I'm trying to see if I can get another launch of my spy adventure.
Bill: Where this time?
Martin: I gave a copy to the principle of the Catholic school attatched to our church after mass last Saturday night. He's promised to read it and see what he can do about organizing a launch at the school for the kids age 10 upwards. No guarantee but if the commitee say yes then I'll be able to do it.
Bill: That is exciting. I'll pray for good luck for you.
Martin: Thanks Bill. I hope to promote this story as much as possible. I hope it takes off one day.

[theprawncracker]

Me: *Walks in main door and up to desk and rings the bell* Hello Pops, I'd like to re-check in. *grabs room keys for #25* Thanks! *goes to room #1 and knocks on door* Hey Ed! I'm here to finally recover a certain phantom of mine.

Uncle Deadly: *appears in doorway* Ryan! Does this mean...

Me: You bet Uncle D.! I'm back!

UD: Well it took you long enough my friend! *hugs Ryan*

Me: Ed, Count, I can't thank you enough for taking care of Uncle D. while I was away for so long. Here, I baked muffins! *hands Ed muffins* And if you ever need anything Ed, let me know! Now c'mon Uncle D., we've still got some others to recover!

UD: Indeed, and thank you again Eduardo and Count, I had a frightfully delightful time.

*Uncle D. and Ryan go in the elevator to Beth's room and knock on the door*

Me: BETH! *hugs Beth* It's Prawnie!! I'm back! Hi Red! Mokey! Rowlf? Robin? Cantus!! *hugs Cantus*

Cantus: Ryan my friend, it has been so long! Where on Fraggle Rock have you been?!

Me: Well you know Cantus, travelling here and there...Singing...

Cantus: Mm, you haven't changed one bit my old friend. Welcome home.

Me: Thanks Cantus. And thank you Beth, Red, Mokey, for taking care of Cantus, here! Muffins!!! *hands them muffins* Take care you guys, and Beth if you need anything at all let me know! I'm here to help! C'mon you guys! Off to Kyle's room! *We run off to Kyle's room and knock on the door* Kyle! I'm back!

Cantus: Yes, and we are here to recover our three remaining room mates.

Me: Yup! What? There already in my room? Oh, ok thanks, here take these muffins I made for watching over them, you're a real pal Kyle. Tell Grover, Cookie, and Herry I said hi. And if you ever need anything holler! C'mon guys, let's go home!

*The three of us head to Room # 25 and open the door*

Me: Gonzo! Camilla! Clifford! Guess who's back!

*Ryan is tackled by a speeding blue ball of fur*

Gonzo: RYAN!! You weren't captured by midget clowns and forced to walk a tightrope with an overweight bearded lady while whistling the ballad of Davy Crocket!

Me: Nice to see you too Gonzo.

Gonzo: NOW WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?! I waited months for you to come back so I could show you my new act! But no! You didn't! Lisa kept giving dates, "the 15th," "the 17th," But you weren't there! I had to go through so much rubber cement to rehearse the act on the 15th, and you didn't even show up!

Camilla: Baguck babawk!

Gonzo: Yeah! And Camilla was almost deep fried in secret spices and served with a side of fries!

Me: Gonzo...Camilla...Everyone...I'm sorry I was gone so long...I couldn't come back...Surely Lisa and Ed and Beth told you all that didn't they? It's just hard to explain. But one thing that isn't hard to explain...Is that I missed you guys! *gives one big group hug* Please forgive me.

Clifford: Aw man, we could never stay mad at you. You took us into your room! Let us live here with ya!

Cantus: And play our music!

UD: And speak of death!

Camilla: Bagawk!

Gonzo: And perform a stunt such as mounting a plank of wood atop a cereal box and dancing the tango on top while cooking a banna cream pie and singing "O Canada!"

Me: Man I've missed you guys! Now, how bout I get unpacked, we go for a swim, and then we all go out for pizza on me!

Gonzo: Oh, we don't have to go out! *goes to fridge and takes out pizza and throws it at Ryan* There! Now we have pizza on you!

Me: ...I suppose I deserved that!

Gonzo: I told Lisa I'd get you back!

[The Count]

The Prawn has returned... And all is good with the world, for now.
Thanks for the muffins Ryan... *To self, guess he forgot Beth's room's fright next door to ours. Oh well...

Glad you're back for good this time buddy. Was afraid you might not make it back before the anniversary shake-up, but we've all the summer to enjoy till then. We'll be downstairs if you need us.
Wonder if Kathy got back OK from NYC. Prairie was asking about her yesterday...

[Katzi428]

Prairie: Hi Kathy...glad you're home!*hug*
Thanks Prairie....*hugging her back* Glad to be home.Did you have fun with Bryan,Grover,Herry,Rosita & Cookie?
Prairie:Yeah. I made pancakes for them the first day I was there. They loved them!
Well....of course they did. Your cooking is better than you know who's.Just don't tell him I said that.;)
Prairie*giggling*:I won't.Plus all of us went swimming at the pool.It was hot down here in the past few days.YUK!
I'm glad you had so much fun with them.

[RedDragon]

Why am I so subject to whims?

L: <shug> You're a push over...

Pretty much...I've only written one chapter of the fantasy story I'm writing and now I'm thinking of writing Mairin's story...I blame Kyle...

L: Oh?

I mean, not in a "it's all your fault I'm in trouble" kind of way. More like a "you put this idea in my head" kind of way...It's all because he said he was going to be writing a Vic/Kyle origin story...It got me to thinking...

L: So...you don't want to write it?

No, no, I do...I've been thinking for awhile that I should explain Mairin's past...I mean all we know about the girl is that she came back from "college" when she got a note saying Kyle was in trouble, she likes Jack, she lights matches to watch them burn when bored, she enjoys doing dangerous things, and she has had experience in criminal activies (i.e. she carries around a device that can immediately open any lock and knows how to hotwire a car)...we don't even know what she looks like...

L: I see...Hey isn't it your Birthday tomorrow!

Yeah...

L: Let's throw a party!

Can't...I have to run our yard sale from 9 to 5...

L: Bummer...

Totally...

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: I'm so happy Ryan's back!
Red: Me too, I missed him!
Mokey: I'll miss having Cantus around, but I'm enjoying your company Rowlf and Robin
Robin: You guys are nice, I'm having fun here too
Rowlf: Indeed, you ladies are quite hospitable!
Beth: Anyway, would you guys like to go to a parade with me tonight?
Robin: Ooh! A parade? Will there be clowns? Uncle Kermit told me all about clowns
Beth: I bet there will be clowns
Rowlf: How about a marching band?
Beth: Yeah, I think so
Red: Cheerleaders?
Beth: Maybe
Mokey: What about people dressed up in pretty clothes?
Beth: Yeah, I think so. So what do you guys say?
*everyone excitedly agrees to go to the parade*
Beth: All right, we have to go in a couple of hours

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: *standing outside Room 15* Okay guys, hurry up! We've gotta go!
Betty Lou: I'm ready, Kim! How do I look? *twirls in her new dress, which looks a lot like her regular dress*
Kim: Fabulous. Where are the Fraggles?
Gillis: We're coming, we're coming. Oh, an actual theatre show. I can't wait! Do we have good seats?
Kim: I'm assuming so. I mean, they wouldn't stick us up in the nosebleed section. *sticks her head into the room* Tosh, Boober, shake a leg! We don't want to be late!
Boober: *exits* Are you sure the bus is safe? What about the restaurant we're eating at; are the conditions sanitary? Has it gotten a good rating from a certified health inspector?
Kim: It'll be fine, Boober, trust me. Put your paranoia away for twelve hours and just enjoy the trip. This is supposed to be fun!
Boober: *mumbling* Maybe I oughta just stay home...
Tosh: *leaves the room, holding onto Beast's rope* Kim, are you sure we have to leave Beast here?
Kim: Yeah, I'm sure. Sorry, Toph, but they don't allow pets in the theatre. Beast will be fine here alone, don't worry. He's got toys to play with and plenty of food and water.
Tosh: Well...
Kim: Look, if it'll make you feel better, we'll get Ed or Beth or somebody to check in on him while we're gone. Okay?
Tosh: Okay. *turns to Beast* Now you be on your best behavior, all right?
Beast: *nods, goes back inside the room*
Kim: Good. Now let's move out, gang!
*Kim locks the door and the Room 15 gang heads out*

-Kim

Cookie M: Wha...?

[RedDragon]

Well, it's the thought that counts, if not the practice...Thanks guys...why am I still up? <shrug, turns off light, lights a match> Happy Birthday to me...goodnight everyone <blows out match>

[The Count]

Sorry bout that Nyssa. Just that the age line in the header of your posts said 17, so I thought you'd be 18. Oh well, no worries. Guess that means it was a figure of Elmo wit the 1 and Snuffy with the 7.
Hope you have a great B-Day anyway, at least a nice party in the evening.

[BEAR]

Snuffy: ZZZZZZZZZZZZ...
Big Bird: (Snoring) Qua qua qua qua...
Rosita: Zzzzzzzz...
Telly: Zzzzzzz...
Bry: Well, I'm glad Prairie had a good time. It was nice having her visit. I feel bad that I wasn't really able to spend more time with them the last couple days. I suddenly got really busy yesterday with stuff and didn't have much time.
Hoots: Hey, it's cool. Seemed like she enjoyed the company of our roomies here. Hey, did you hear Ryan's back?
Bry: You sure? I've heard that before.
Hoots: Hehehe! No, he's back for real this time.
Bry: Well, it's about time. I've missed the guy a lot, but not nearly as much as his own roomies I'm sure.
Hoots: I don't remember the last time I've seen Gonzo so excited.
Bry: Yeah. I think I'm gonna go to bed now. I'm beat. Would you do me a favor, Hoots?
Hoots: What's up?
Bry: It's Nyssa's birthday. Would you take this to her room? (hands Hoots a birthday card with a box of Fraggle candies.)
Hoots: No problem.
Bry: Thanks. Goodnight.
Hoots: (flies off to make his delivery)

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: All right did everyone sign the card for Nyssa's birthday?
*everyone choruses yes*
Robin: Mokey and I made her a picture!
Beth: That's wonderful!
Red: I can bring the card and picture to her
Rowlf: Don't forget the cookies
Red: I won't, I just didn't want a certain someone to hear me
Mokey: Don't worry, I haven't seen him up and about today

[Ruahnna]

Catherine: (bustling into room with two knapsacks, and multiple boxes and bags) Piggy? I'm back! (Stops, looks around room in dismay. It is, well, rather untidy, with clothing and shopping bags strewn about the room. There is a definite odor of burnt popcorn coming from the kitchen, and there are several plates, an empty ice cream carton and about six mostly empty glasses sitting on the coffee table, along with several glossy magazines.) Piggy? (Goes to her room and sets the boxes, bags and knapsacks on her bed. Comes back out and begins to pick up clothing in a laundry basket. Carries the dishes back to the kitchen and runs a sink of hot, soapy water. Sighs. Wishes she could get in the sink of hot, soapy water, but gets a warm, soapy sponge and wipes out the microwave instead. Starts a teapot boiling. While the dishes are soaking, she begins to gather the boxes and shopping bags. The bedroom door opens and Piggy emerges wearing her robe, looking tousled and rested.)
Piggy: Oh--hello! You are back! I thought I heard someone. (She eyes Catherine's disheveled appearance.) Did you have a nice time, um, wherever you went?
Catherine: Yes, actually. My family reunion last weekend was fun, and camp was great, too. (Eyeing Piggy sternly.) This place looks as though you were having a bit of a vacation, too. Did you go shopping every day while I was out?
Piggy: (Rushing forward and giving two enthusiastic kissy-kissy kisses on Catherine's cheeks, an obvious ploy to avoid the question) Welcome home, roomie!
Catherine: Piggy--
Piggy: Are you going to bake something now?
(There is a moment when they look at each other, one not-so-innocently hopeful, the other trying hard not to be amused.)
Catherine: (sighing) Yes--I guess I could manage to cook something. Pull up a chair at the table and visit with me while I do the dishes.
Piggy: Oh--the dishes. Didn't I put my teacup away this morning?
Catherine: (giving Piggy a look) No. (She rummages around in the cabinet over the stoves, peeks in the fridge. In a moment, she is boiling pasta and steaming some frozen vegetables.)
Piggy: (accepting a cup of tea and stirring in sugar and cream) So you went to camp. I didn't know they had camp for grown-ups.
Catherine: This wasn't a camp for grownups. Piggy, I told you what I was going to be doing.
Piggy: Well, um, tell me again. (little laugh) You're such a fascinating story-teller. (flutters lashes)
Catherine: (not buying it) I spent the last week with about eighteen kids every day. We went hiking and to archery and played sports and made crafts.
Piggy: (clearly horrified) And you finally escaped?
Catherine: (laughing at last) No, Piggy. I didn't escape. Camp was over yesterday and I came home.
Piggy: (in a conspiratorial growl) Why did you have to go? Were you doing community service or something?
Catherine: No, silly. I did it because I enjoyed the children and because I think every kid ought to have a chance to go to camp.
Piggy: Did they pay you?
Catherine: (rinsing pasta in cold water and mixing it with Italian dressing and the veggies) I got this t-shirt.
(They stare at each other.)
Piggy: I will never understand you.
Catherine: (putting a steaming plate of pasta salad in front of Piggy) But you love me anyway.
Piggy: (lets out a little squeak of pleasure at the sight of food) Yes--roomie. I love you anyway.

[The Count]

Well... Always nice to see/hear people come back to their home here at the dorms. Wonder if more of that story will get posted. Got a bit of my own, but since I've posted so much, think I'll wait till Monday to update.

That, and I'd like to see if I find a talented-enough artist/drawer as advertised in that thread over in FanFic & FanArt. *Slight sigh*
Oh well, on with the weekend I guess.

[RedDragon]

ow...ow...ow

L: What is it?

I got so burned out there today...I swear the sun is trying to kill me...Now I'm going to fill a tub with aloe and bathe in it...

L: ....have fun...

<nods>

[RedDragon]

<looks around frantically> I've killed the dorms! NOOOOOOOOOOO! Someone post! <faints>

L: Breathe girl breathe! <fans me> Someone post...Quick!

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: You could never kill the dorms!
Robin: Kill the dorms??? *looks worried*
Red: Don't worry Robin, Nyssa was worried because no one seems to be around tonight
Robin: Oh good! I was worried, I like it here, I wouldn't want it to die out!
Rowlf: Don't worry little man, I think everyone's just busy tonight
Mokey: Yeah, it is a weekend and all

[The Count]

*Laughs a little. Yeah, just cause noone's posting in a while, dodn't mean it's dead. Heck, if it were, you'd think Uncle Deadly and my roomie here would like it better.
No, it might close down at the anniversary... But we've got the summer before then. Hope you guys and ghouls have a good night's sleep.
