Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[theprawncracker]

Me: *pokes head in Nyssa's room* Welcome to the club Nyz, we have t-shirts!

Gonzo: Ryan! Let's go do more commentary!

UD: Ryan, do you plan on writing another story soon, hmmm?

Me: See what I mean?

[The Count]

You know... Thought Telly would try out for the football team, thought most of the monsters would. Then again, I trust Clifford to run the team as captain this year, he'll get me the info of who's on the team before the big game on Saturday.

[Erine81981]

That was one full fun day guys. Thanks for cheering me up.

Grover: Glad to have helped you have a fun day.

Herry: Here here.

I think it's time for some fun in the pool. Who's up for some fun?!

Grover: I know I am!

Maurice: Wait for me.

Hey Maurice! Come on.

Cookie M: You can't forget me.

Well then come on!

We all go down to the Indoor Dorm's Pool

[The Count]

Well... Think I'll just leave you guys with a song before retiring for the night.

Rowlf, if you please...
*Piano starts playing.

*Sing: Down by the river.
That flows past the courtyard.
And wooden houses.
With shutters turned down.
There lives a girl.
Everybody calles "Patches".
Patches, my darling, of old shanty town.

*Musical flourish.
We planned to marry.
When June brought the summer.
I couldn't wait.
To make Patches my bride.
Now I don't see how.
That ever can happen.
My folks say "No".
And my heart breaks inside.

*Raising voice higher.
Patches! Oh what can I do!
*Normal voice again.
I swear I'll always love you.
But a girl from that place.
Would just bring me disgrace.
So my folks won't let me come to you.


*Musical doublescales linger in the air.
Each night I cry.
As I think of that shanty.
And pretty Patches.
A-watchin' the door.
She doesn't know.
That I can't come to see her.
Patches must think.
I love her no more.

*Second brief flourish.
I hear a neighbor.
A-tellin' my father.
He says a girl.
Named a-Patches was found.
Floating face down.
In that dirty old river.
That flows past the courtyard.
In old shanty town.

*Raising voice again.
Patches! Oh what can I do!
*Normal voice.
I swear I'll always love you.
It may not be right.
But I'll join you tonight.
Patches... I'm coming to you.
*Song ends.

[Erine81981]

Great singing Ed. Loved the song too. Thanks for playing it. Since no one hasn't said the letter of the day. That is if it's ok. I'm going to say today's Dorm was brought you by the letter "F" and by the number "11." Good night everyone. That is that's going to sleep. I'm going to spend sometime a friend. See ya'll later. Bye.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

MN: All right, the bathroom's done. Black and white tile floor and dark blue walls with chrome and bronze touches...and that mural of the Algonquin over the sink looks right nice...hey, Nora, are you all right?
Nora: Paint...fumes.
MN: Oh Lord...(turns on fan and hauls Nora out into the hallway) Okay, Nora, nice oxygen-rich air. Breathe it in. That's an order.
Storyteller: Ooh...that's the sixth time that's happened. The flower fumes in the Caves of Boredom will do that to you.
MN: No, Storyteller, those were the paint fumes in the Caves of Ablutions.
Storyteller: Whatever, Boober will hide in there either way. Now I need to set up my rock fountain...oh, where's the switch on this thing...

[BEAR]

Ernie: Hey, Bert, how were the tryouts for the choir?
Bert: Great! I hope I get in.
Telly: It was fun, but I think I'm going to take Ed's idea and go out for the football team instead.
Bry: Whatever makes you happy, Telly. I really think that Big Bird would be great in the choir.
Big Bird: Well, I do love to sing!

[christyb]

Me: *pokes head in Nyssa's room* Welcome to the club Nyz, we have t-shirts!


Christyb: *walks up* Hey i'll take one of those and maybe a cure of writer's block.

Skeeter: Chhhhrrrrriiiiisssstttttyyyyy....you're supposed to be finishing that chapter. Come on I wanna know what happens.

Christyb: Hide me I'm being bellowed. :)

[Beauregard]

Bobo: *steps in front of Christy*
Beau: *tries to see below Christy's feet*
Bo: Oh, Skeeter, hi...have you seen Christy?
Bean: Yup! Oh! She's just behind Bobo the silly cute bear!

[christyb]

Christyb:*whispers in Beau's ear* I'm gonna kill that rabbit.

Skeeter: *hands on hips* Nice try guys, but don't you think she's procrastinated enough?

[Beauregard]

Bo: *whispers back* Please do...
Beau: What is procreated?
Bobo: Procrastinated...she said procrastinated...
Bean: What is procreated anyway? *big cute oh-so-innocent bunny eyes*

[christyb]

Skeeter: Oh brother.

Christyb: *hangs an arm around Beau's shoulder* Why don't you just tell us all what that means pal?

[Beauregard]

Bo: Well...er...
Bean: Yes? What?
Bobo: *scratches head*
Bo: Well...when two people love each other...
Bean: Like Skeeter and Christy? Like, best friends? *hugs Bobo*
Bo: Not quite...but since you passed the buck over to Christy and Skeeter...go ahead you two...

[christyb]

Christyb: No I prefer Dogs.
Skeeter: Gross! Not dogs, dogs are nice. But me and you?
Christyb:It's more like...hmmm....when a er...umm....Mommy and Daddy...umm....*pulls a muffin out of no where* Muffin anyone? I think we need to hear this lesson from the expert. Take it away Bo.

[Beauregard]

Bobo: Thanks...I love a Muffin...
Bean: Well, Daddy Bo person?
Bo: Bean...i'm not your father...
Beau: *makes Darth Vader sound*
Bo: ...but...if I was, then...you would be...er...
Bean: You're cute adorable son?
Bo: Exactly! *wipes forehead*
Beau: That still doesn't explain about...
Bo: *claps hand over Beau's mouth*

[christyb]

Skeeter: *grins evilly at Christy who nods her head* Soooo Daddy Bo. Why not tell your son who his Mommy is?

[Beauregard]

Bean: *oh-so-evil-grin* Are you sure you're my dad?
Bo: ...!
Beau: .!!
Bobo: !!!
Bean: *blinks ever-so-cute-eyes*

[christyb]

Christyb: *whispers to Skeeter* I can't wait to see him dig outta this hole. *louder* So Mr. Bunny...why not explain to Bean why he doesn't look a thing like you.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *very very slowly and quietly* Because...I am not...his...
Bean: Daddy? Well, I do see some resembalence! The eyes are large and round (and totally freaked out) not unlike mine...the hair is disturbingly clean and neat...
Bobo: Yeah, those eyes are kinda round...
Beau: Neat hair...

[christyb]

Skeeter: But Bean has his Mother's ears.
Christyb: Don't forget though he has his Father's feet.
Skeeter: *whispers to Christy* He's so going to kill us.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *looks down at feet* Actually...I do have huge shoes...I always th-Stop. This is not a conversation i am taking part in.
Beau: You're not?
Bobo: Looks like he is...
Bean: Can we just get back to when we were explaining about the-*piano falls on Bean's head*
Bo: What an amazing coincidence...*leaves room rapidly*

[christyb]

Christyb: He's so dead.
Skeeter: Bean?
Christyb: No Beau.
Skeeter: He got out of that way to easily.
Christyb: Two can play in this game.
Skeeter: What are ya gonna do?
Christyb: Follow me to the next thread.

[Beauregard]

Beau: Bo died?
Bobo: Alas poor Yorrik...I knew him Horotio...

[The Count]

Movin' right along...

Hey Sis, if you need some help with that story, drop me a PM and we can talk about it. Frankly, need a bit of encouragement/inspiration/help meself.
Oh well... See you round the dorms. *In low voice: Anything we should get for the birthday girl for Friday?

[Beauregard]

Bo: 8wondering off by himself* Oh, hey Ed. Whose birthday is Friday? I noticed you talking to yourself there...

[christyb]

Christyb: PM coming your way. Oh yeah....and is there something I can do to loud mouthed neighbors.

Skeeter: Friday? What's so special about Friday? :halo:

[Beauregard]

Beau: It begins with F?
Bobo: It ends in Day? Wait...that's the same with every other day...

[The Count]

Uh, I was talking to Christy there. And it's Friday, special enough on it's own.
*Don't want to give away the surprise.

[christyb]

Christyb: Yeah, and don't you have a squashed bunny to revive?

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: How'd the first practice go Red?
Red: Good! We've got a great squad this year!
Abby: I had alot of fun
Beth: That's great!
Red: Did you audition for the choir?
Beth: Yep! Looks like alot of people will be doing that too. It's nice that there are so many activities here at the dorms

[theprawncracker]

Me: Ugh...
UD: Pardon me Ryan, but aren't you supposed to be at school? And have you been sleeping this entire time?!
Me: Oh...Yes Uncle D. I feel awwwwful...
UD: Anything I can get you my fiend? Green tea? Shriekin' noodle soup?
Me: I'm okay Uncle D., just keep Gonzo out...Please.
UD: *smiles* Can do my fiend, can do.

[ReneeLouvier]

Scooter: How's work going for ya?

Sara: Pretty good. I really do like working there, Scoot. Although yesterday I smacked the top of my head really hard on the truck getting into it. I was pretty dazed for awhile.

Scooter: You okay now?

Sara: Yeah. *stretches out on her bed, smirking* Took me a little while, but after I slept I feel great. Going to work at 3pm today, as usual, then tomorrow I get Wednesday off!

Scooter: Awesome.

[Ruahnna]

Kermit: (Peeking around doorway) Is she--is she gone now?
Catherine: Yes. I shooed her off to class this morning and she hasn't reappeared. (looks at watch) Her last class isn't over until three, and then I think she's meeting someone at Everybody Eats.
Kermit: Well, good, because Fozzie and I-- (stops, looks startled) Meeting someone. Who?
Catherine: (shrugging) I don't know--somebody from one of her classes, I think.
Kermit: (making scrunchy face) One of her classes....
Catherine: Kermit?
Kermit: (looking up) Hm?
Catherine: Kermit--you were in the middle of saying something and then you tuned out. What about you and Fozzie?
Kermit: Oh--oh, Fozzie and I finally tracked down the last of our things. Seems they got shipped to Kermit, Texas instead of Hensonville. Go figure.
Catherine: And...?
Kermit: Oh--and we're ready to get our room set up. Sorry we've been sortof camping out with you guys, but our furniture is on its way over here now.
Catherine: Oh--great! (puzzled) Why did you want to know where Piggy was?
Kermit: (pats fingers together awkwardly, trying to think how to say this)Well, um, I have found that it's easier to redecorate when she's not helping.
Catherine: Ah. No argument here. Can I help? And where's Fozzie?
Kermit: Little bear's room. And sure, we could use the help. (There are sounds of bumping and banging in the lobby and down the hall.) Oh, good. It looks like our stuff is here now.
Catherine: Great--we'll finish it this afternoon before Piggy gets back. She'll be surprised.
Fozzie: (coming in room) Hey Kermmmit! I think our stuff is here!
Kermit: Yeah--that looks like our boxes. C'mon--we'll get everything set up. (He trots out.)
(Fozzie starts for the door but stops and looks up at Catherine hopefully.)
Fozzie: Could we have a snack? Lunch was a long time ago?
Catherine: I've got some gingerbread cake and, um, there's some leftover mac and cheese. Want me to heat it up?
Fozzie: (gratefully) Yes! I'll be back in a minute! (runs after Kermit)
Catherine: (puts bowl in microwave) Whew! It will be nice to finally get settled!

[Leyla]

<Leyla is typing frantically into her laptop, Hilda has set the flowers in a simple white vase and is fussing with them in a mixture of anxiety and shy curiosity>

Leyla: Hilda... what was I thinking putting Camilla in this story anyway? She's tough to write!

Hilda: <thoughtfully> Do you really think Gonzo sent these to me?

Leyla: <distracted> How on earth do you spell buck... bok... buk... bawk... hmmm... oh, sorry Hiilda. I don't know if he did or not. Why don't you ask him?

Hilda: <scandalised> I can't do that?!

Leyla: Why not?

Hilda: <stutters, than glares> Well... would you ask him if he were your secret admirer?

Leyla<considers>: No... but only because I don't have one.

Hilda: <sighs> Oh, I don't know what to do!

Leyla: <reluctantly pulling away from laptop> I'll tell you what. Why don't you write a response... just to your secret admirer. I'll pin it up where everyone can see it. Maybe you'll get a note or a letter back... and we'll be able to track him down.

Hilda: <uncertainly> well... maybe. Will you help me?

Leyla: Oh, of course... right after I get back from work!

[Java]

<Overhear's Leyla's comment about writing for Camilla>

Boy, is that hard. It's got to be done though. Speaking of, I better hurry up and post the next chapter before I have to go to work.

<Looks up as Sprocket enters the room>

Well, did you find him?

<Sprocket startes to dance around the room>

Good, when is he coming to live with us?

<holds up two toes>

Just enough time to get over night shift. Well, what are you waiting for, start preparing our new roommates section as I go shower for work. Oh and post the next chapter in my story too...

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: Ryaaaaaaaaaan!!! *jumps on Ryan's bed*
Me: Oh...GONZO I'M SICK!!
Gonzo: So so so? Let's go do more commentary!! C'mon c'mon!!
Me: Gonzo, the only way you can get me to do more commentary is if you push me down there in this bed.
Gonzo: *shrug* Okay, let's go! *pushes bed down to commentary room*

[BEAR]

Telly: Oh no!
Big Bird: What's wrong, Telly?
Telly: Ryan is sick!
Big Bird: Aww, that's too bad. I hope he gets better soon.
Bry: (in bed, groaning with face covered under the blankets) Uuuugh...
Telly: Bry? Are you okay?
Bry: I feel...awful!
Big Bird: Are you sick too?
Bry: Yeeah...
Telly: What is it?
Bry: My whole body aches and I feel nauseous.
Big Bird: Too bad Rosita isn't here. She always knew what to do.
(Ernie and Bert walk in)
Ernie: Hey, what's going on?
Big Bird: Bryan is sick.
Ernie: Oh no. Really?
Bert: It is getting to be that time of year.
Telly: We need to help him to feel better.
Bert: Don't worry. I know exactly what to do.
Ernie: You do?
Bert: Sure! All he needs is to relax, get plenty of sleep and drink lots of fluids. I know! (to me) I'll fix you up a nice piping hot bowl of lentil soup.
Ernie: (Disgusted at the thought) Lentil soup, Bert?
Bert: Trust me.
Ernie: (shrugs) Okay...
Bert: (to me) You just get all snuggly comfy there under the covers and I'll get the soup ready. (to self) Hmm...I just might make myself a bowl.

[Fragglemuppet]

*passing by Brian's room* Do you think you could make me a bowl too, Bert? Thanks. And congradulations on making the quire! I just wish you could get Ernie involved. You two work well together. *aside* No comments from either of you.
You got in too, Brian, of course. I'm sorry you don't feel well though. 'tis the season you know. Feel better!

[BEAR]

Bert: I got into the choir? Hunky dory! That is great! Alright, Bryan. Here's a nice hot bowl of soup. Doesn't that smell just heavenly?!
Bry: Hmm...thanks. (takes it and tries to eat)
Bert: Hey, Ernie. Take this bowl up to Kate, would you? Maybe while you're up there you can talk to her about joining the choir. She seemed to really want you.
Ernie: You got it, Bert! (runs upstairs delivering a tray with a bowl of lentil soup and a dish of plain toasted white bread) I don't see how anyone could eat this stuff. Oh well. (knocks on Kate's door) Hi there! Here's your soup!

[theprawncracker]

Me: *bed pushed back into dorm* Well...That was...Erm...Interesting Gonz, thanks.
Gonzo: No problem Ryan. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with Camilla.
Me: Have fun Gonzo...I'll be here...In bed...
Clifford: Don't worry dude, I brought you some chicken noodle-
Camilla: BAWK BAGAWK!! *mauls Clifford and kicks can of soup out the window*
Me: You walked right into that one Cliff.
Clifford: *gets up with broken sunglasses* Ugh...You HAD to have the chicken...

[BEAR]

Bert: (runs over to Ryan's room) Perhaps you'd like to try some lentil soup. I've got extra!

[theprawncracker]

UD: *to Bert* I'm sorry Bert, but Ryan's on bed rest right now, and as for the soup...I'm already dead, trust me, he doesn't need any soup...

[Katzi428]

Rosita: Oh no! I just heard that Bryan's sick!
Awwww.....poor Bry.:sympathy:
Prairie:What does he have,Rosita?
Rosita:Ernie said that Bryan has a stomach ache & feels nauseous. I think I'll fix him some of that special chicken soup I used to fix him when I roomed with him and he was sick.
That's a nice idea Rosita.:) There's some crackers that I have in the kitchen closet.So we can give those to him.
Prairie:Plus some ginger ale and toast would help.
Rosita:Buena idea.But we'll make the toast at the last minute.This way it won't get cold.
You're right.
2 minutes later...
WHOA! Rosita...better make extra. Ryan's sick too!
Rosita:What?Oh no! *shaking head* OK...more chicken soup coming up.
Prairiegetting sterile masks out
Prairie...whatcha doing?
Prairie:I don't want us getting sick.
Hopefully not.
Rosita:OK chicas...everything's ready.Let's get them to our sick dormmates.
heading out the door

[BEAR]

Bert: (lowers eyebrow at UD's comment) Hmmm... (lights up again) Oh well, more for me! (laughs, and goes back to room 29)

[Fragglemuppet]

Thanks Ernie, the soup spells great! Luckily I have some jelly packets here that I..uh..baught from Everybody Eats. It's easier to manage with them than with a jar.
About the chorus, I thaught you might like to join it, so as you and bert would be together. That, and I just love your singing voice! But it's really up to you though. Just know that it's never too late to join. See you later!

[tvlistingman]

PETER: I can't believe Bryan and Ryan are sick

BABY BEAR: I do not believe it

ZOE: We're all healthy, right Little Bird

LITTLE BIRD: Right, Zoe

PETER: Why don't we get a get well card for Bryan and Ryan

ZOE: Okay!

[The Count]

*Arriving at Room #1... Well, at least the trip here's gotten better, that's 1, 1 good thing about today.
Count: And you got the trouble of that exam out of the way fright?
Yes, so that'd be 2, 2 good things today.

*Sits down in creepy couch, stroking Fatatatita's black fur while she's sitting in my lap.
Heh... So much on my plate... Good to have some way of just letting some stress off of my shoulders.
Well... Think I'll just reheat some of my mom's good cooking and curl up with a good fanfiction.

[Katzi428]

OK checking dorm roomsRyan's in room 25 and Bry's in 29.So who wants to go where?
Rosita:I better go in Bryan's room.He's used to me seeing him when he's sick.
Prairie: All right.I'll go into Ryan's room. That chicken girlfriend of Gonzo's isn't too crazy about me though.She always seems to think that I'm trying to flirt with Gonzo!:rolleyes:
Ohhh brother! All right. Prairie...I'll try to help you as soon as possible.
going to Bryan's room with Rosita Hi Ernie! Can you do Rosita and I a favor and give this food to Bryan? We know it's not lentil soup but tell Bert not to be hurt.Thanks!

[Katzi428]

*Arriving at Room #1... Well, at least the trip here's gotten better, that's 1, 1 good thing about today.
Count: And you got the trouble of that exam out of the way fright?
Yes, so that'd be 2, 2 good things today.

*Sits down in creepy couch, stroking Fatatatita's black fur while she's sitting in my lap.
Heh... So much on my plate... Good to have some way of just letting some stress off of my shoulders.
Well... Think I'll just reheat some of my mom's good cooking and curl up with a good fanfiction.
Gaffer:scratching on Ed & the Count's doorMeow?? (as if to say Can Fatatita come out and play?)

[BEAR]

Ernie: "Tell Bert not to be hurt." Hey, that's a good rhyme, Kathy! Khekhekhekhe! Don't worry, I'll be sure to give this to Bryan. Smells good.
Bry: (sitting up in bed) Who is that?
Ernie: It's Kathy and Rosita. They brought over some soup. Some flavorful soup.
Bry: Oh...Thanks for the soup, you two.
Ernie: Oh, and we'll try and hide it from Bert. Thanks again. Bye bye!

[The Count]

You go ahead... I'll be OK, got some good stories to read.
*Opens door so Fatatatita can go and play with Gaffer.

[theprawncracker]

UD: Oh Ryan my fiend, Miss Dawn brought over some edible soup for you!
Me: *slurping soup* Oh...That's so good. Thank her for me will you Uncle D.?
UD: Right away Ryan. *goes to thank Prairie Dawn and Kathy*

[redBoobergurl]

*Abby sneezes and sends a spray of dust from her magic wand turning the cup of pencils on the desk into a small pumpkin*
Abby: Oh no! I'm sorry!
Red: It's ok, we can get some more pencils
Abby: I think I'm going to sneeze again
Red: Quick! Grab the wand!
Abby: Ahhhhh
Beth: No! I've got it! *quickly grabs wand*
Abby: AHHHCHOO!
Red: That was a close one
Abby: I think I have a cold
Beth: Doesn't surprise me, sounds like some bugs are going around the dorm
Abby: Bugs? Where???
Beth: I meant bugs that make you sick
Abby: Oh, I get it
Beth: Well, if you are getting sick then you'd better get into bed
Red: Yeah, we don't want you missing cheerleading practice! The big game is this weekend!

[theprawncracker]

Me: Psst, Cliff, I'm going to bed. Please just lock the door and don't let Gonzo in. I need some sleep.
Clifford: Heh heh heh, you got it dude. Night! Sleep tight! Don't let that weirdo bite!
Me: *sarcastic laugh* Oh ha ha, very funny. Good night Clifford. *puts pillow over head*

[The Count]

You take that pillow off of your head fright now! Don't you know that's the surest way to die in your sleep, smothered under your own pillow?
Honestly Prawny, woulda thought rooming with Uncle Deadly would've made you more sensible to these things. Besides, we need you among the living to keep nagging/bombarding Lisa.

[Skeeter Muppet]

Gillis: Hmmm...
Kim: What's the word, Maestro?
Tosh: Sasquatch.
Kim: Very cute, Tosh.
Gillis: Seems a few of our dormmates are ill. Ryan...Bryan...I think Abby Cadabby too.
Kim: Oh, that's too bad. *notices her roommates are all looking at her* What?
Tosh: Its a well-known fact that if there's a bug around, you'll probably catch it too.
Gills: Its also a well-known fact that when YOU get sick, the rest of US end up getting sick as well.
Kim: Well, don't worry guys - especially you, Boober. As Hawkeye Pierce once observed, I am in fine fettle. I've never felt fettler. The only major thing going on with my health these days are my darn headaches, and I can take asprin for those.
Boober: Liar; I've heard you sneezing.
Kim: *sighs* Boober, those were run-of-the-mill, occasional sneezes, not cold sneezes. You've all lived with me long enough to know that when I start to come down with a cold, my throat gets sore first thing. And my throat feels fine.
Boober: *shrugs* If you say so...
Kim: On to more important things - have you guys heard anything from Erin about the choir? Are we in or not?
Betty Lou: Dunno.
Kim: Well, we need to find out, so I can see if practices might interfere with my work schedule.

-Kim

[The Count]

Uh Kim... Mayhaps the reason you haven't heard from Erin about the Quire is because... Well, it's Kate the one who's in charge of that singing group.
Hope this helps. Good night everyone.

[Katzi428]

whispering in the hallway so I won't wake anyone OK Gaffer....time to come home.You can play with Fatatita tomorrow.
Gaffer:Hmph!
Don't give me any of your cattitude,little girl.You'll see Fatatita in the morning.
Gaffer strolls into the room
Good girl.

[The Count]

*Opening door to let Fatatatita back in... Hey Kath, tell Prairie I liked her new play this morning about the healthy foods. But she'd better get Rowlf to get that piano of hers back in tune though.
And here are some little chocolate mini-squares I picked up at Penny Candyman's. *Hands baggy to Kath.

Again, good night everybodeeeeeee!

[BEAR]

Telly: You just rest right here on the couch and watch some tv.
Bry: Thanks, Telly. Oh, wait.
Telly: What?
Bry: We still haven't put up our room description.
Big Bird: We'll take care of that in a bit.
Bert: Yeah, we'll do that as soon as I put the rest of this soup away.
Ernie: (stopping Bert from going in the fridge in an effort to hide the chicken soup that Kathy made) Bert!
Bert: Yes, Ernie?
Ernie: Umm...I'll help you with that, Bert.
Bert: Oh, well, thanks, Ernie. I appreciate the help.
Ernie: No problem. (takes the tupperware full of left over lentil soup and puts it in the fridge. Then hides the chicken soup in the back of the fridge behind everything else.)
Telly: (whispering to Ernie) Good save.

[Katzi428]

*Opening door to let Fatatatita back in... Hey Kath, tell Prairie I liked her new play this morning about the healthy foods. But she'd better get Rowlf to get that piano of hers back in tune though.
And here are some little chocolate mini-squares I picked up at Penny Candyman's. *Hands baggy to Kath.
Mmmmmm...thanks!I'll let Prairie know about the piano.I think she's aware about it though.

[Fragglemuppet]

I'll be back in a minute, guys.
*goes down to Kim's room and knocks on door* Hi, just a late-night call while we were both still awake to let you know that all of your roommates, and you of course, are most definately in. As for timing, I was planning on having them once a week, and am trying to work them around everyone's schedule. Most people are flexible, but I know you have a pretty tight work schedule. LMK what time you're usually around, and I'll have a set time for you. Well, that's all I've got to say for now; I want to go ask Ed if he would like to join. I know he had expressed some interest. Well, good night all; see you tomorrow!
*goes to Ed's room and asks him and the Count, before heading back up to bed.*

[Beauregard]

Bo: *wakes up in bed and streatches*
Bobo: *wakes on on sofa and streatches*
Beau: *streatches an eleastic band, snap* Ouch...


Bean: *wakes up in hospital and screams*

Bo: So, do you think Bean's ok?
Bobo: He should be fine...
Beau: He only had a piano on him...

Bean: *in hospital* Oh, nurse, hi, wow, you're so cute, and so am I! I rhyme! Hey, can you get me some flowers? I'm all lonely and *sniff*...oh and some choclate, and a hearty breakfast, along with about $50, some bubblebath, candyfloss, and a kiss? All becuase I'm so...*sniff* Down in the dumps...*evil smile*

[The Count]

Thanks Kate... Would like to join, rully I would... But I've got a lot of things on my plate fright now, and I'm a bit sorry that I don't think Quire practice could be fit in the schedule.
Hope that's OK, wish you and the rest of the group luck and success.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *relaxes*
Bobo: *same*
Beau: *see above*
Bean: *bursts through door* I'm back guys! I'm so perfectly well again! Yey! I love life!

[theprawncracker]

*bursts through door* I'm back guys! I'm so perfectly well again! Yey! I love life!
UD: I can arrange for you not to love life at all rabbit.

[christyb]

*Christyb slips a note under The Count's door*

Count,
If you can get someone to volunteer...I need somebody to keep a certain someone busy on a certain date. Hope this isn't so confusing. Maybe Scooter would be willing? Thanks.

Christyb

Skeeter: *walks up* What are you doing?

Christyb: Uh...nothing nothing at all. I'm checking for squeaky hinges!

Skeeter: That's not our door.

Christyb: It's not? Oh yeah it's not.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *before Christy can touch his door* That's not your door either. And nothings happening here, so don't bother evesdropping.
Beau: *drops some leaves on the floor*
Bobo: He said don't...
Bean: I love autumn leaves! *throws a whole heap on the floor and rolls in them*

[The Count]

Will see what I can do Sis. Good to have a free day on Wednesdays again. Oh, Sesame'll be on soon. Talk to you guys later.

[Fragglemuppet]

That's okay Ed; after all, there's always next year. I've decided to make practice Wednsday evening, (that's tonight) from nine to eleven. We won't be singing all that time of course, but I figure that way I can make time for those that are not available until late, and those who like to turn in early. I hope this meets with everyone's satisfaction.

[christyb]

Bo: *before Christy can touch his door* That's not your door either. And nothings happening here, so don't bother evesdropping.
Beau: *drops some leaves on the floor*
Bobo: He said don't...
Bean: I love autumn leaves! *throws a whole heap on the floor and rolls in them*

Skeeter: Do you understand him?
Christyb: Depends on the situation. Just be thankful that Beau didn't drop eaves instead of leaves.
Skeeter: This is going to be one intresting year.

[Erine81981]

Well since Grover and Herry are at work. I wonder what I'm going to do?

Maurice: Uh....Kyle?

Yes Maurice?

Maurice: I'm hungry. What's todays lunch going to be?

I was thinking of fixing some "Cheeseburger Mac" today. Sound good to you?

Maurice: Mmmmm I just love that stuff.

Cookie M: Did me hear someone say "Cheeseburger Mac?"

Maurice: Yep you did Cookie Monster. Kyle's going to fix it for lunch.

Cookie M: Can me help?
Sure. Both of ya'll can!

Cookie M: Me just love to help. (whispers to Maurice) Me help so me can try it before it's done. Ha ha ha ha ha....

I heard that Cookie Monster!

Cookie M: Oops!

[Leyla]

Jimmy: Where'd that girl get to? I need her to put another log on the fire.

Wanda:Yeah, where is Leyla... I haven't seen her at all this morning.

Hilda: Oh, she's in the closet.

Wanda: I beg your pardon?

Hilda: She's in the closet... look, I'll show you. <Hilda wanders to the spacious closet just inside the door to their rooms and taps the wooden door. Whimpering can be heard within.>

Wanda: Oh.. is this an ushy gushy thing? Some sort of regression to her closet days? Is the ushy gushy girl in there with her?

Hilda: No, no. She wasn't in the closet very long anyway. The ushy gushy girl is chained to a tree outside, trying to peer into Catherine, Kermit, Fozzie and Piggy's room right now. You can probably guess who she's trying to peer at.

Wanda: I can. So what is this, they're trading places for the day?

Hilda: No.

Jimmy: Then, what's she doing in there?!

Hilda: She got a phone call early this morning to come in on Friday as a substitute French teacher at the local elementary school. It's her first time ever.

Wanda: <tapping the door> That doesn't make sense. Leyla! Why are you in there?

Leyla: <muffled> I'm hiding!

Wanda: I thought you liked kids.

Leyla:<muffled> I do!!

Wanda: I thought you liked being a teacher!

Leyla: <muffled> I do!!

<All three exchange perplexed looks>

Leyla: <muffled> Why did it have to be french? The first day ever, and it's french!

Hilda: <slowly> But... you speak french.

Leyla: I know! But still!

Hilda: Would it be easier if it were English?

Leyla: No!

Hilda: So your way of coping is to hide in a closet?

Leyla: Yes.

Hilda: Hmm. Alright then.

Wanda: Why don't you take your laptop in there and get some writing done?

Jimmy: I think I left my slippers in there. Could you fetch them?

Leyla: <moans>

[The Count]

Hello from the MC Dorms Management Team.

Just wanted to let you know about a new rule added to choosing roommates, a suggestion made by the review committee's members.

If you wish to room with a fanfictional Muppet character of your own creation, then:
1 You must be rooming with a "cannon" or already established Muppet character.
Take Erin for example, she's rooming with The Storyteller Fraggle, which under this rule would then allow her to admit Nora Brandon into her room's crew.
2 You may add such a character, if you still have room within your allotted roommate total. If you already have five (5) roommates, then you need to choose whom amongst your current crew you'd wish to replace.
For example, if Ryan wanted to add Butch and Clyde, he'd have to let one of his roomies go given the mathematical calculations of such a roommate total, going from four (4) to six (6) when the limit is five (5).
And no Holy Book of Armaments jokes out of you Bo or Erin.

In other dorms news...
The calendar's almost ready for posting, just need a few last B-Day dates.
1 Rowlf The Dog.
If you have either their original debut airdates or Muppeteer B-Days, I'd appreciate someone contacting me with said dates.
Also, there are some pets whose B-Days are missing, would appreciate help with those as well.

Thank you, that is all.
Ed and The Count.

[Beauregard]

Bo: Oops! Forgot about the airdates Count! Sorry, will try and track! Beau, when were you born?
Beau: I was born?
Bean: *peeks out from leaves* How does that work?
Bobo: Oh for pete's sake...

[Katzi428]

Prairie: Darn piano...it's really out of tune.
she hits a note and Gaffer yowls
Prairie:Oh Gaffer...I'm sorry,kitty.Your poor ears! Hopefully I can get Rowlf to help me get this thing back in tune.*she dials the phone* Drat...got the answering machine. Hi Rowlf...it's Prairie over in room 6. Look,can you do me a favor?My piano sounds horribly out of tune.So maybe you can help me re tune it? Thanks.Bye.hangs up the phone
Hey ....I heard that Abby Cadabby is coming down with a cold .Everyone seems to be getting sick!
Rosita: Oh no! I hope she feels better soon. She's on the cheerleading team and we cheer at the first game on Saturday!
I hope she feels better soon too. Well..I have to go audition for Kate's choir.See you 2 later.
Rosita:Buena suerte Kath.
Prairie: Yep...good luck!
Thanks girls!

[redBoobergurl]

Abby: I don't know why I couldn't go to school today. I'm feeling better *sniff*
Beth: Well, we just want to make sure you're good and rested and much better for the big game this weekend. You wouldn't want to miss that right?
Abby: *sniff* No, but I'm bored. I would be having so much more fun at school.
Beth: Hmm, tell you what, we can play a board game, any game you'd like
Abby: Ok. How about Candy Land?
Beth: Sounds good, let's play that.

[ReneeLouvier]

*An older lady, is dragging a rolling suitcase behind her, as she double checks the numbers on the address. Nodding to herself she goes inside the building, ready to check into the dorms. She's wearing hospital scrubs, as she had finally decided to make more of her life, and go back to college to get a nursing degree. And she just came off of a 10-hour shift from the local hospital as their "go-fer" on medical supplies.*

Sadie: Finally I got here. Now where is my son and that girlfriend of his? He said that I would be staying with them....

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Hi, Sadie!
MN: Nice to see you again, Sadie...don't know where Scooter and Sara are at the moment, though...wha? No Holy Book of Armaments jokes? No fair, man...

But at least: There is no rule 6!

[ReneeLouvier]

Sadie: Oh thank you! Sara told me she'd be staying in room #20...or was it #5? I can't seem to remember. I'll just hang out with you guys until she shows up! ;)

[The Count]

*To Erin: Shhhhh... We don't want to incur another one of Bean's attacks.
Oh hello Mrs. Grosse. Scooter and Sara are downstairs in Room #5. Just go past the double doors into the hallway and the common room, Seymour will help you with the elevator in the Old World furnace. Do you need me to show you where their room is?

[Skeeter Muppet]

And no Holy Book of Armaments jokes out of you Bo or Erin.

Kim: What about me? Can I make Holy Book of Armaments jokes?
Betty Lou: Nah; I'm more in the mood for the Knights Who Say 'Ni'.
Gillis: Is it an African or a European swallow?
Tosh: This is an ex-parrot!
Boober: ...uh, I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay?
Kim: Boober, you know how much I hate that song...
Boober: Sorry.

-Kim

[Beauregard]

Bean: *practasing cheerleading* Give be an "O!"
Beau: *sigh* Oh?
Bean: Give me a U!
Bobo: You...stop that this instant.
Bean: Give me an "R!"
Bo: O? U? R? what does that spell anyway?
Bean: Give me an "Oh you are so cute Bean and we love you to bits and would never hit you with a baseball bat!"
Bobo: Give me a baseball bat...

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Guys, I've been thinking about a third roomie
Red: Really?
Abby: Who? *sneezes*
Beth: Bless you. Anyway, she be a great addition to the choir
Red: Ok...
Beth: She's got good fashion sense so she'd be fun to have around for makeovers
Abby: Ooh, she sounds pretty
Beth: And she'd make a certain dog who lives upstairs quite happy
Red: OH! I know!
Beth: Yeah, well I'm going to talk to Ed and then see if my friend would like to join us so don't get excited yet.

[Beauregard]

Bo: Have you seen -
Bobo: - SHH!
Bean: *alseep under the sofa*
Bo: Alright...tiptoe...
Beau: How do I tip my toes?
Bo: *clamps hand over Beau's mouth as the three creep out of the apartment*
Bean: *opens one eye* I knew that would get rid of them. *cute giggle*

[BEAR]

Bert: What's with all these strange people moving into the Dorms?
Ernie: Strange people? You're one to talk, Bert.
Bert: Ernie!
Ernie: (Snickers) Khekhekhe!
Bert: I'm serious. These people. I've never seen them before.
Ernie: Me neither, but I'm sure they are nice if we just give them a chance and get to know them.
Bert: I dunno about this.
Ernie: Come on, Bert. Let's go outside.

[ReneeLouvier]

(I'm assuming I'm keeping Skeeter company until Friday, okay? Meaning I can use her for talking and stuff until then.)

Sadie: Oh no need, Ed! Thanks for telling me where they are! *goes down the hall to the double doors, and waves to Ernie and Bert as they're leaving to go outside.* Hi there boys!

Seymour: I'll help you with those bags. Going down or up?

Sadie: Down please, I'd like to get whatever level room 5 is at.

Seymour: Okay-dokey! *closes the doors, and goes down to the lower level.* There we are.

Sadie: Thank's again, Seymour! *starts to knock on the door, only to find it partway open, to a somewhat funny/touching scene.*

*Scooter and Skeeter are on either side of Sara helping her with some yoga, as she's been ordered to do by her doctor, to help keep her knee limber. She keeps falling flat on her face, slight winces of pain flashing across her features.*

Sadie: Oh you poor dear, what happened to you!?

Scooter: *hears his mother, and falls foward out of a position suddenly.* MOM?!?

Sara: Mrs. Grosse! Ooww....a..pleasure to meet you. I thought it would be tomorrow when you were coming....*is rubbing her knee softly, as she sits against the bedframe, watching Scooter spaz over the early arrival of his Mom.*

Skeeter: *She gently pulls herself out of a difficult position, and smiles over at Sadie.* Hey Mom. Like Sara said, didn't expect you till tomorrow.

Sadie: Well, I was already in town before I knew it, so I figured I'd go ahead and get settled into here.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *running along hallways*
Bobo: Yup, we lost him.
Beau: Uh oh...is he dead?
Bo: Not that lost...
Bean: *walks up calmly* Oh who's lost? You know, if we stuck together, no one would ever get lost! Yey!
Bo: Have you been having lessons with Elmo?

[The Count]

Uh no Sara... *Whispering: The plan was that you'd look after her "on" Friday. But it's OK, I'm sure Sis wouldn't mind you looking after her roomie till then. Just to be safe, you should send her a PM talking about it.

And I'll get to your PM next Beth.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: How is cheerleading practice, Zoe

ZOE: Terrific, (giggles)

PETER: I PM either Bryan or Big Bird about the Birdkateers meeting and soon either Bryan or Big Bird gets this message, you're going to members of Birdkateers

LITTLE BIRD: How nice of Big Bird

BABY BEAR: That is so sweet of him.

PETER: We are incredibly healthy, I can't believe some people are sick

ZOE: It is just cold season, Peter, but we're eating healthy

[theprawncracker]

Me: Welp, I'm feeling MUCH better today.
Gonzo: Even though you have a chemistry test tomorrow?
Me: ...Thanks Gonzo...*goes back to studying*
Gonzo: Anytime pally. *pats back*
Me: *elbows Gonzo in the chest*
Gonzo: Ooh, thanks Ryan, that spot was feeling WAY too good.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

*To Erin: Shhhhh... We don't want to incur another one of Bean's attacks.


MN: And I'm sure the others wouldn't want that either.

(Storyteller emerges from the bathroom, wearing a gray wig and holding a red paint-stained paintbrush)

Storyteller: (dry, cracked feeble voice) Norman...
MN: (slight shudder) Get away from that shower, Mrs. Bates. (shudders again)

[The Count]

Huh? Mother?
Count: Are you hexpecting a wisit from Norman?

Bates or the Quadradimensional?
Count: "Psycho" Bates.
Nope... He knows this is the MC Dorms. All haunters should be tucked away for the night back at the castle or in his case, Bates Motel.
Count: Ah... Wery vell then.
*Both go back to sleep.

[Beauregard]

Bean: *bangs on Muppet Newsgirl's door* Norman is my middle name! You called? Hmm? Hmm?
Beau: *creeps by*
Bobo: *on tiptoes*
Bo: *runs into own room, slams and double locks the doors*

[BEAR]

Ernie: Yum! What a great late night snack. Well, time for bed now.
Bry: Ernie, you're done? Aren't you going to finish your numbers and alphabet soup?
Ernie: No, I'm saving those. It's the number and letter of the day. The letter K and the number 8. I'll eat them up tomorrow. Goodnight!
Bry: Okaaay...

[The Count]

Hello, here's another update from the dorms management team.

Not sure if you're awre, but the 3rd semi-annual MC awards will be handed out on 9/22/2006, a week from this Friday. Head on over to the MC Awards 3 Strikes, You're Out! thread and vote for all of your favorite MC'ers in the ton and a half of zany categories. Hope this helps and have a good day.

[theprawncracker]

Me: *walking by bulletin board on way to class* Ooh, I better tell Ed that the Awards have been changed to the 22nd due to scheduling dificulties. Cliff, you mind doing that? I've gotta jet off to class.

Clifford: No problem dude. I'll head over to his dorm right now. *heads off to Room #1 while Ryan heads off to school* *knocks on door* Yo Ed, Ryan tells me that the day of the award show has been changed to Friday the 22nd, a week from tomorrow, ya'll may wanna edit that bulletin of yours.

[The Count]

Thanks Cliff... Taken care of. Oh, and you should probably hand in the team roster later today, you'll have all of tomorrow to practice for the game on Saturday.

[redBoobergurl]

*A knock is heard at the door of room 3*
Beth: I'll get it! I bet it's my friend!
*opens the door to reveal Wanda the Cat surrounded by luggage*
Beth: Wanda! It's so good to see you! *they hug*
Wanda: Thanks! It's good to be here. I had a little trouble finding the place, as he's said before, Rowlf's not real good at giving directions
Beth: It's no problem. My other roommates, Red Fraggle and Abby Cadabby are at classes and then they have cheerleading practice, but you'll see them tonight
Wanda: Great! Want to help me with my bags? I hate to ask but..
Beth: It's no problem. I'm going to call Kate later and see if you can audition for the choir too. We could use your stunning voice!
Wanda: Oh that sounds wonderful! I'd love the chance to sing!
*they set about getting Wanda's stuff into the room and getting her all unloaded*

[JaniceFerSure]

Diana: I'm officially on vacation time,11 days off from work.Going to spend most of the time getting things done around the dorm,and travelling.I love Great Muppet Caper,watching it now,whilst listening to my MP3s.How are you Janice?

Janice: I'm like so bummed,I mean rully,it's like cold today and raining.We need to find some indoor activities to spend the day doing.

Zoot: We can always play.

Floyd: That's true.Nothing like a song to wake up the day.

Diana: I'm going to bake some brownies,you all can play.Enjoy yourselves.

*leaves out*


*Electric Mayhem plays Sing Sing Sing*

[The Count]

*Hearing music eminating from Room #33...

*Singing....
Me and you.
Are subject to.
The blues now and then.

When you get the blues and sing them out.
You sing them out again.

Hmmm, wonder if she'd like to get in on the Quire that Kate's putting together. The band can always get gigs playing for the MC Frogs at their games, first one's this Saturday.
Wonder if they know they have a balcony space behind their room connected to their room's outer back wall. Oh well, they'll find it whenever they feel like holding an impromptu dorms concert.
*Moves along, en route to the campus.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Bean: *bangs on Muppet Newsgirl's door* Norman is my middle name! You called? Hmm? Hmm?
Beau: *creeps by*
Bobo: *on tiptoes*
Bo: *runs into own room, slams and double locks the doors*

MN: (triple-locks the door) We're closed. No deliveries.
Storyteller: You know, everyone, Richard Hunt told me this really good joke about hasenpfeffer...:smirk:
Nora: SHHHH! Don't! You'll only incite him more!
MN: (gruff Scottish accent) I warned them but oh, no, it's just a harmless little bunny...
Nora: Oh, Storyteller, if only you hadn't made that Psycho reference! (sotto voce) So how does that joke go?
MN: Bo, call your roommate back in, please? ;) :)

[Erine81981]

Come on guys. Tonight's the Awards for the MC'ers. We can go vote. Maybe we'll get some awards.

Maurice: I've got my bowtie and top hat.

Ok. We'll leave a note for Grover and Herry. Come on Cookie. We have to hurry to get the front row seat.

Cookie M: Me sorry. *putting on bowtie* Me can't do it!

Maurice: I'll help you Cookie Monster. *gets it on Cookie Monster's neak* There.
Cookie M: Thank you Maurice.

*walking out the door* Come on guys!

Cookie Monster and Maurice: Coming!

[Erine81981]

*driving away from the droms*

[BEAR]

Bry: (starts to run after Kyle's car) Kyle, wait! Oh, no...The awards aren't actually until next week. Today is just when the voting is happening. He's going to the theater and no one will be there.
Telly: Atleast he'll be sure to get a good seat.

[Java]

<Writes quick scrawled note for Sprocket when he comes back from class>
Sprocket,
They've called me in for overtime at work. Please welcome our new roommate when he arrives this evening and tell him that I'm sorry I wasn't here to welcome him. I'll see you all in the morning after my meeting is over.
Don't forget your homework!

Later,
Melissa

[redBoobergurl]

*Beth and Wanda have finished unpacking her things. She now sleeps on a bunk above Beth's bed. Many cat things now adorn the room as well as a picture of Rowlf added to the collection of pictures scattered about*
Beth: Yea! This is going to be great!
Wanda: I'm so glad to be here, especially with another Minnesota girl
Beth: Yep, we gotta stick together
Wanda: I hope I like your roommates. Abby Cadabby looks really cute. Red seems like fun.
Beth: Abby's a sweetheart. Careful though, she's just getting over a cold. Red's awesome, she's like my alter ego, we compliment each other quite well.
Wanda: That's awesome! So, when will they be here?
Beth: In a little bit, they're at practice right now
Wanda: So about that choir?
Beth: Right! Let me call Kate. Hey, does Rowlf know you're here yet?
Wanda: Not yet, but I'm sure I'll bump into him eventually
Beth: *calling Kate* Hi Kate, I've got another person, well, cat who'd like to join the choir. Her name is Wanda, I've wrote about her in a couple of fan fics. She's got a great voice. Let me know if she can stop by to audition sometime.

[BEAR]

Bry: Hey, has Clifford posted the football roster yet?
Ernie: I don't think so.
Telly: I hope he posts it soon. I want to know if I made the team this year! I'm getting so nervous thinking about it!
Big Bird: I'm sure you made it, Telly.
Bry: You guys want some lunch?
Big Bird: Where's Bert?
Ernie: He's taking a nap.
Bry: Well, I'll make you guys some food and then I'll set Bert's aside for when he wakes up. May I offer you guys some Figgy Fizz Soda to start with?

[The Count]

Well... At least Uncle Deadly will probably be at the theater, he'll tell Kyle the awards aren't until next week.

I'll be coming home soon guys... Keep the dorms nice and clean.

[BEAR]

Ernie: Oops! Be right back!
Bry: Where are you going?
Ernie: Hold the sandwich for me, Bryan. Ed will be back soon and I left a huge mess down in the reading room.
Bry: Better hurry.
Big Bird: Thanks for the birdseed milkshake, Bryan. I'm gonna have to have a quick lunch today. I am meeting with the Birdkateers this afternoon.
Bry: Oh yeah! First meeting of the new semester, huh?
Big Bird: That's right. I'm not sure who's gonna show up. I think Little Bird and Baby Bear will be there though.
Bry: Well, whatever you do, I'm sure you'll have a good time.

[The Count]

Hmmm... Nice sig Bry, wonder where it's from though.
Oh, Camilla signed up for Birdketeers too after the announcements were posted. And don't forget to cast your votes for the MCies.

[BEAR]

Thanks, Ed. My new sig is from "Dance Myself to Sleep" when the boogie woogie sheep come in.
That's right, Camilla did sign up, didn't she. Well, I'm sure Bird will see her there.
As for the MCies, most of my votes are in. Also sent to Ryan a couple new category ideas. Hope he got them.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Clifford, you STILL haven't posted the football roster??
Clifford: Hey dude, you can't rush perfection.
Me: Right, tha'ts why I'm not rushing you.
Clifford: I'll forget I heard that. *exits to go post football roster*

*It reads: Hey again ya'll! It's Clifford! Here with the roster for the MC Frogs line up for the 06-07 season! Here it is ya'll, enjoy!!

Clifford: Quarterback
Cookie Monster: Blocker/Wide Reciever
Herry Monster: Blocker/Wide Reciever
Ernie: Reciever
Tell Monster: Blocker/Wide Reciever
Ryan: Scapegoat

There ya go ya'll! Hope to see you Saturday for the first game! And practice starts tomorrow!

Me: Cliff...What's that about...Me?
Clifford: Oh nothin', just be on the field tomorrow after school.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: How was birdkateers

LITTLE BIRD: Awesome

BABY BEAR: I loved it

ZOE: Oh it is awesome, Baby Bear

PETER: Why don't we order pizza for dinner, everyone wants pepperoni

ALL: RIGHT!!!

PETER: And after that, dorm pool for swimming!

[The Count]

Yeah... Thought that's where it was from Bry... Just didn't recognize it at first.
*Getting back home... Mmm, that hamburger and potato salad at the Rock & Roll Deli sure was good.
Count: Yes... And I hope to have a good sleep tonight, vhat vith all the stormy veather.

OK, I'll be in the reading room, hope the fanfic library got some updates.
*Reads MC Frogs roster... Heh, Ryan's the... Guess he'll be the one kicking the field goals and kickoffs, that's what a scapegoat's for on a football team.
*Chuckles and moves away to the library. Oh and Clifford, the game's on Saturday. Tomorrow's, er, well it'll be a great day.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: (pokes head out door) Okay, he's gone.
MN: At last. I've got an article to finish up for the paper...but I could go for some tea and scones.
Storyteller: Yes, and I've got to re-sort all these stories from Amanda. The ones about her zany uncle.
MN: (goes into kitchen, gets a plate of scones and pours a mug of blueberry tea) Got a new one for you. One about him giving his mother a pair of diamond earrings.
Storyteller: Oh, how sweet.
MN: He dropped them in her refill of champagne at a Christmas party.
Storyteller: Oooh! Oh...well, those would be expensive gallstones.
Nora: Did she swallow them?
MN: No she didn't...but Amanda says her uncle didn't try that again after that. It was all done in a typically amusing Hunt-like way...and it sounds like Jane loved the earrings. (smiles) I love hearing anecdotes like that. (parks herself at desk and starts typing)
Nora: My dad did something like that when he proposed to Mom. Dropped the ring in her glass of sparkling cider while she wasn't looking.
Storyteller: Charming.
Nora: (giggle) He tied the ring to a big rubber spider first. He says you could hear her scream all the way across the restaurant.

[Erine81981]

Seems that we went to early.

Maurice: Seems I don't need my top hat and bowtie at the moment. *takes them off*

*phone rings* Hello? Hey Bryan. What up? Ooooooh I see. The awards aren't till next week. I see. Sorry I didn't hear you before. I was wondering. We got down there and couldn't get in.

Cookie M: Me got ready for nothing. Oh well. *eats bowtie and cufflings*

*looking at Cookie Monster* Yeah I know. I just thought with what Ed had said. Thanks Bryan. Thanks for letting me know now. I'll talk to you later. Bye. *hangs up* Well I'm going on to take a nice warm bath.

Maurice: I'm going to read some more.

Cookie M: Me just relax and watch TV. *plops down starts eatting some cookies*

[Erine81981]

*starts humming and some music starts*

Songs, are around whenever you need them
Songs, follow you wherever you lead them
Songs, they seem to come alive each time you sing 'em
Songs, you can play them straight or you can swing 'em
Songs, don't know how we'd get on without them
Songs, you can hum them, whistle or shout them....

At Walmart........

Herry: (whistling outside the same tune)

Grover: *in the bakery* Songs can keep you company when you're alone
So find a song and you'll be halfway home
You can't go wrong
So believe in a song....

[Fragglemuppet]

*calling Beth and leaving a message* Hi Beth, I'm sorry I didn't get you earlier. Somehow, I don't seem to get to these things until late. Of course Wanda can join us! I love cats, especially if they can sing in my key, heheh. I'll tell you what. Since we're going to perform at the game on Saturday, tell her she can just come up to the common room tomorrow evening, and we'll go over the song we'll be singing. either that, or I can come down and pick her up if she needs help getting there. What do you say? Well, I'll talk to you girls later. Good night.

[BEAR]

(Ernie and Bert walking through the hallways of the dorms and join the song)

Ernie: They get you hummin'
You start a strummin'
Just keep 'em comin'
They get you goin'
Bert: You snap your fingers
The music lingers
You get some singers
To make a showin'

(In Big Bird's nest space...)
Bry & Big Bird (in harmony): Words and music blending
Send you dancing in all the aisles
Songs can bring you memories
Of good times, big smiles...

[Erine81981]

Maurice and Cookie Monster: The band is jumpin'
The music's thumpin'
It's really somethin'
They hit the ceiling
Mauirce: A hot piano,
Cookie Monster: a high soprano
Me: Do what they can for a happy feeling

Me, Cookie Monster and Maurice: Songs bring you up when you're down
Songs are the best friends around
They're worth singin' about

Me: All you need is a song.....

[BEAR]

Telly: (Dancing around the room to the music) Alright, let's bring it home!!

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: Hmm, lot of singin' going on in the dorms tonight.
Tosh: Kim, think we'll make it to the game on Saturday?
Kim: I think so, Tosh. My little cousin's birthday party is in the morning. And Mom and I are going to the Pec Thing afterwards (I hope). But I should be done with that in time for the game.
Gillis: And even if we don't make it, there will be other performances.
Tosh: That's true.
Kim: So see? Nothing to worry about.

-Kim

[BEAR]

Big Bird: La La La La La
La La La La La

Bry: Okay, now let's put
Both parts together

(singing this verse at the same time as the other verus is talking place)
Bry, Big Bird, Ernie, Bert and Telly: Songs, are around whenever you need them
Songs, follow you wherever you lead them
Songs, they seem to come alive each time you sing 'em
Songs, you can play them straight or you can swing 'em

Songs, don't know how we'd get on without them
Songs, you can hum them, whistle or shout them
Songs can keep you company when you're alone
So find a song and you'll be halfway home

(singing this verse at the same time as the other verus is talking place)
Kyle, Maurice, Cookie Monster, Grover and Herry: They get you hummin'
You start a strummin'
Just keep 'em comin'
They get you goin'
You snap your fingers
The music lingers
You get some singers
To make a showin'

Words and music blending
Send you dancing in all the aisles
Songs can bring you memories
Of good times, big smiles

The band is jumpin'
The music's thumpin'
It's really somethin'
They hit the ceiling
A hot piano, a high soprano
Do what they can for a happy feeling

Songs bring you up when you're down
Songs are the best friends around
They're worth singin' about

Bry, Big Bird, Ernie, Bert and Telly: All you need is a song
You can't go wrong

Everyone: All you need is a song
You can't go wrong
All you need is a song

Everyone: Songs!

[Erine81981]

Awsome singing guys.

Grover: You are the one who said we could pull it off.

Herry: And we did.

Glad to have ya'll home.

*opens door* Great singing from you side of the song Bry and the others.

Cookie M: Oooo me just can't get enough.

Maurice: Me too.

Oscar: *out in the hallway* What was all that racket?

We were singing. It's it wonderful!

Oscar: No! I hated it!

Well! *walks back into room and slams door*

Oscar: *looks at camrea* What? *groans and sits face on hand*

[BEAR]

(Everyone in room 29 getting in bed)
Bry: Goodnight, guys!

(In Bert and Ernie's room...)
Ernie: Bert? Bert?
Bert: Ernie, what is it?
Ernie: I can't sleep, Bert.
Bert: Well, go and drink some warm milk or something.
Ernie: I mean, I can't sleep because we haven't talked about the Letter of the Day yet.
Bert: (sighs in frustration) Oh, Ernie...
Ernie: I've got an idea! I'm gonna sing a song and you can guess what the letter is!
Bert: Do you have to do this now? It's late.
Ernie: We can't do it later. Otherwise it won't be the letter of the day anymore.
Bert: Okay, okay. Go ahead, but make it quick. Bryan asked me to open Hooper's Store early in the morning.
Ernie: Okay, I'll sing this song, and you can guess what letter it is!

(music starts)

Ernie: Dee, dee-dee, dee-dee, dee-dee, dee-dee, dee-dee, doggy;
Dee-dee, dangerous dragon;
Dee-dee, dee-dee, donkey, duckie,
Dinosaur.

Oh, dee, dee-dee, dee-dee, dee-dee, dee-dee, dee-dee, dinner;
Dee-dee, dee-dee, de-licious;
Dee-dee, dee-dee, dee, don't drop dishes
Down on the floor.

Oh, do a dance.
Dig some dirt.
Dunk a doughnut for dessert.
Draw a daisy that's dee-de-lightful to see.
When "D" is handy, it's fine and dandy.

Dee, dee-dee, dee,
"D" is such a very nice letter.
Each day I like it better,
That lovely letter called "D!"

Bert: The letter D, Ernie. That wasn't so hard.
Ernie: But can you think of any good words that start with the letter D, Bert?
Bert: Well, sure...there's "doctor" and "dentist" and "dime"..."dollar"...

Ernie: (interupting) Draw a daisy that's dee, de-lightful to see.
When "D" is handy, it's fine and dandy.

Dee, dee-dee, dee,
"D" is such a very nice letter.
Each day I like it better,
That lovely letter called "D,"
Dee-dee, dee, having fun,
But now I'm dee, dee, dee, done!

Ernie: Well, goodnight, Bert. That was fun.
Bert: Goodnight? But what about all those other great D words. Like "did" and "do" and "doorknob"! How about a Spanish word "Dos", which means "2" the number of the day! This is great! Ernie, what are some other D words? Ernie...??
Ernie: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Bert: Drat.

[Beauregard]

(Bear, you really have Ernie and Bert's characters down well!)

Beau: Siiiiing, sing a song....
Bo: Sing it loud....
Bobo: Sing it strooong...
Bean: It doesn't really matter if it's good enough - becuase frankly speaking your singing is bad, but as long as we are singing together as family that's just yey whee whoo yey! So, let's start again shall we?
Bo: Goodnight Bobo.
Beau: Goodnight Bo.
Bobo: Goodnight Beau.
Bean: Guys?

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Sorry I didn't have the chance to introduce you guys last night, but now I can! Red, Abby, I'd like you to meet my friend Wanda the Cat!
Red: Hi! I'm Red Fraggle, I've heard so much about you!
Abby: Hi! I'm Abby Cadabby. You're really pretty.
Wanda: Hi Red, Hi Abby, thanks!
Beth: So, I talked to Kate, you're in the choir no problem. She said we'll go over the song we're singing at the game a few minutes before hand
Wanda: Great!
Red: I'm so excited for the first game!
Abby: Me too!
Wanda: It's fun to watch football. Who all is playing?
Beth: You know, I don't know for sure. I gotta chat with Ryan about that. I'd better call him. *calls Ryan's room and asks him to call me back to talk about the team roster and schedule of games*

[Beauregard]

Bean: I'm off the cheerleading team.
Bo: Oh? Why?
Bean: Becuase I was just too good, and I hate to make others feel bad.
Bobo: So you didn't turn up, huh?
Bean: Exactly!
Beau: Mmhmm...

[christyb]

(I'm assuming I'm keeping Skeeter company until Friday, okay? Meaning I can use her for talking and stuff until then.)


(Out of well my mind but we won't go into that: Sara it's fine by me. Use Skeeter however you want and talk with her as much as you want today. Tonight I'm not gonna be able to be here for the party so I really need you to take over then. Twould be a shame for the guest of honor to miss her own party. Anyways, feel free to use her today and this weekend all you want. I'm gonna use her for this next post then she's all yours for the time being.)

Back to the game....

Christyb: *carrying something very suspicious in her arms covered in a blanket*

Skeeter: *arrives at their room door to grab a photo album to show her mom* What's that?

Christyb: Oh nothing...it's an um...science experiment!

Skeeter: But you're not taking a science class.

Christyb: I know but it's for a friend of mine...she's wondering how holograms effect the growth of er....caco beans.

Skeeter: *raises and eyebrow* Riiiiggghhhhttttt...that wouldn't happen to be something for me would it? *tries to uncover the object*

Christyb: *slaps Skeeter's hand* Naughty girl. No peeking. Besides what makes you think you can get away with anything today?

Skeeter: No particular reason.

Christyb: Happy Birthday by the way. *laughs and quickly runs into Beau's room to avoid Skeeter*

Skeeter: They're all up to something....

[ReneeLouvier]

(I've got work from 3-7pm today, so I won't be back until tomorrow! Unless I can squeeze some time in later tonight, alright?)

Sadie: *Is in the kitchen with Sara, making the cake for Scooter and Skeeter.* Oh they will love this, Sara. Where did you get the idea for it?

Sara: *starting to ice one of the cakes, on the turntable.* Oh just spending a semester with Scooter helped. *smirks a bit, finishing up the main icing on one of the cakes.* There we go.

Scooter: *poking his head into the kitchen.* What are you guys doing?

Skeeter: *right behind him* Are those for us?

Sadie: Uh....um...*failing to find words, as she's still standing in front of the cake she just pulled out of the oven.*

Sara: No, they arn't for you....yet. Why don't you guys go do something....together....for awhile....

Sadie: *With some quick thinking, she reaches into her pocket, and pulls out a 100 dollar bill.* Why dont' you guys go and get some lunch, then do some shopping at Hoopers, together!?

Scooter: Uh...sure Mom. *pockets the 100 bill, and looks at them both suspisciously for a moment before turning to leave the kitchen.*

Skeeter: Don't think we don't know what those are....*glares at them for a moment, before she realizes Scooter has already left.* HEY! That's our money, not yours! *takes off after him, easily tackling him to the floor.*

Scooter: HEY! I know that!!

*a friendly twin scuffle ensues on the main room carpet.*

*Sara and Sadie look at each other for a moment.*

Sara: Do you think they know? *starts to ice the other cake Sadie pulled out*

Sadie: *Smiles, watching them fight, until Skeeter has the 100 in her hand triumphantly, making for the door.* Yep.

[christyb]

(BTW that's okay Sara. We'll just give them to The Count. I'm gonna be leaving pretty soon for the day myself. No worries)

*stashing the package at Beau's room with a note for Bean not to touch it. Takes off for Sara's room. Jumps out of the way of Skeeter and Scooter running downt he hallway. Pokes my head in the door*

Christyb: I think this room should come with a warning label. Yikes, I just about got twin smashed. Hi guys, I picked up the party decorations. I had to duck them in Beau's room. I hope Bean doesn't get into the confetti.
*tries to sneak a bite of some frosting*

[The Count]

Sure, I got plenty of space in my room if you want me to watch over the Grosse family for the weekend. Oh, that reminds me...
*Confirms with Count we have the supplies ready. OK, come on you two let's go.
*Leaves for Hooper's, Friendly's, some of the other stores in town with Scoot and Skeet aweing at all the stuff in the windows.

[christyb]

(Count, I'm leaving for the weekend. If you can take care of Skeeter during the party and for the weekend I'd appreciate it. Thanks!)

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: Good, got the cakes done, the decorations are in Beau's room. And if that bunny gets near them....there's gonna be Rarebit for supper.

Sadie: Sara! Why would say such a thing for such a cute little guy?

Sara: Cause he always pokes his cute little nose into everything, Sadie. I hope those two aren't about to kill each other while out shopping...

*In Hoopers store*

Scooter: No one said anything to us about our birthday today.

Skeeter: Yeah, Mom didn't even wish us a happy birthday either. *looks at the candy aisle, with Scooter across from her, looking at the juices.*

Scooter: Skeet, we're what? 22? I don't think we'd need to be told happy birthday still...

Skeeter: I know that. But it's nice anyways. *grabs a couple of candy bars.* What candy bar does your wife like?

Scooter: *starts a bit at her saying that, turning around to face her.* She's not my wife, Skeeter! She's my girlfriend. *without missing a beat* And she likes a lot of stuff. As long as it's milk chocolate, and dosn't have peanuts, she'll be fine with whatever you chose.

Skeeter: Well that nixes a lot of choices. Um...Kit-Kat I guess. *tosses a large Kit-Kat into the basket.*

Scooter: Snickers for me. *grabs a bottle of grape juice, and they start to head for the checkout.* Did we get everything?

Skeeter: Chips, sodas, juices, candy and candy bars. Yep.

Scooter: Awesome.

[Katzi428]

You two all set for Scooter & Skeeter's party tonight?
Prairie:Uh huh! We got Scooter a coffee cup with his name on it like Kermit's.
Rosita:And we got Skeeter a pretty necklace.showing me
Oooohh...that's pretty! I got Scooter a shirt that says "I'LL GO-FER ANYTHING!" and I got Skeeter a shirt that says "GIRL POWER!"

[The Count]

*Standing outside near Hooper's... So you two ready to go have lunch at Friendly's?

[BEAR]

(At Hoopers...)
Bert: (behind the counter) Hello, Scooter and Skeeter. Will that be all for you today? Nifty. Okay...since it's your special day, I'll take off 50%. (Into camera) That means half the price. Hehehe! (Back to the twins) That'll be $15 please. By the way, happy birthday!

[Erine81981]

I got a call saying that Big Bird, Ernie, Bert and Telly are coming to stay for awhile.

Cookie M: Oooooo won't this be fun!

Grover: You really mean it?

Herry: Are we still invited to the birthday party?

Abby: There's a party tonight!
Beth: There sure is! A birthday party for Scooter and Skeeter
Wanda: Oh! Scooter's a nice guy. I don't know his sister real well.
Red: So do we have presents? I know we've got this cool megaphone for Skeeter since she's on the cheerleading team, what'd ya get Scooter?
Beth: a gift certificate to the movie theatre so he can go scout out all the new good films to show here on campus
Red: Oh, that's great!
Beth: All right, let's wrap the presents and sign the cards!

Clifford: Heh heh, so good we could find a scapegoat on such short notice.

[RedDragon]

Nyz: C'est difficile!

Mokey: Pardonnez-moi?

Nyz: C'est très difficile!

Mokey: Ce qui est erroné?

Nyz: S'inquiéter de l'université...

Mokey: Je vois...alors ne vous inquiétez pas...changez votre attitude et soyez heureux

Nyz: Il n'est pas celui facile....

Mokey: Seulement parce que vous le faites ainsi...

[The Count]

*Arriving back at the dorms... Yeah, we had a good day. Scooter, I'm sure Sara will explain that to you when you talk to her. Huh? Yeah Skeeter, you'll be staying with the Count and me during the weekend.
Come on... There's something down in the first floor's common room I want to show you two...
*They take the elevator downstairs...

[BEAR]

Ernie: (on phone with Bryan) Oh, no problem, Bryan. We can handle it. Bye! (hangs up)
Bert: What's going on?
Ernie: Bryan has to go away this weekend, but he said that Kyle would keep us company.
Telly: Sounds good to me.
Big Bird: Oh, you guys are gonna love playing with Kyle.
Telly: Yeah, he's got some fun toys and he doesn't get too mad when I knock things over while jumping on my pogostick!
Ernie: Sounds like my kinda guy! What are we waiting for? Let's go!

[The Count]

No, you wait here in the common room, I'll be right back.

*Leaves Scooter and Skeeter in the common room, watching some shows on the TV there.

*Knocks on Beth's, Sara's, Kathy's and Erin's door, Shhh, come on... Time for the party. Yeah, tell the others to come down when they can.

WHAT?? NO WAY!!:mad:
Rosita:Kathy...me and Prairie will be backup singers!
Ohhhh.....grumbling but deciding not to be a spoilsport as the girls put Kermit hats on themselves and me OK...I'll do it.

In the evening when the sun goes down
Folks all hurry to the edge of town
At the bayou bank they stand and wait
In the clear air

Soon the water ripples catch their eye
And the ladies hush and breathe a sigh
On a lilypad all dressed in white
He appears there

And then he
(Prairie & Rosita: Uh-huh)
Boogies up and down and shuffles right
(Prairie & Rosita: Uh-huh uh-huh)
Slips and splashes in the moonlit night
(Prairie & Rosita: Uh-huh uh-huh)
Alligators with their teeth so bright
Smile and sway there
(Prairie & Rosita: Sway there)
And soon the
(Prairie & Rosita: Uh-huh)
Loons are joining in the jamboree
Everybody's happy just like me
Watch him dance
On that log
Yeesh, it's the Disco Frog!
(P & R: Ribbit Ribbit! Ribbit Ribbit!)

Through the day the swamp's a quiet place
Snails and salamanders set the pace

P & R: In the spider where the air is still like a trance there
Fireflies are twinklin' white and green
There's a sudden crazy change of scene
And the star who's danced both far and wide comes to dance there

Me: And then he
(P & R: Uh-huh)
Boogies up and down and shuffles right
(P & R: Uh-huh uh-huh)
Slips and splashes in the moonlit night
(P & R: Uh-huh uh-huh)

P & R: Alligators with their teeth so bright
Smile and sway there
(Sway there)

Me and The Girls: And soon the
(P & R: Uh-huh)
Loons are joining in the jamboree
Everybody's happy just like me

P & R: Watch him dance
On that log

Me: Yeesh, it's the Disco Frog!
(P & R: Ribbit Ribbit! Ribbit Ribbit!)

GuestFrogs: Uh-huh uh-huh
Uh-huh uh-huh
Uh-huh uh-huh
Uh-huh uh-huh

P & R: Uh-huuuuh

Guest Frogs: Uh-huh uh-huh

P& R: Uh-huuuuh

Guest Frogs: Uh-huh uh-huh

P & R: Uh-huuuuh

Me: Join us by that swampy waterside
Where we never have a thing to hide

P & R: And it makes you feel so good inside
Just to be there
While the stars are sparklin' through the night
And the bayou moon is burnin' bright

Me and the Girls: Yes, it's quite the most amazing sight
You can see there

P & R: Because she
(P & R: Uh-huh)

Me and the Girls: Boogies up and down and shuffles right
(P & R: Uh-huh uh-huh)
Slips and splashes in the moonlit night
(P & R: Uh-huh uh-huh)

Alligators with their teeth so bright
Smile and sway there
(Sway there)
And soon the
(Uh-huh)
Loons are joining in the jamboree
(Uh-huh uh-huh)
Everybody's happy just like me
Watch her dance
On that log

Yeesh, it's the Disco Frog!

Oh by the way....the dorms today were brought to you by the letter S (for Scooter & Skeeter) & the number 2 !:)

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: Hey, hope we're not late!
Gillis: Are you kidding? It's practically our schtick.
Kim: (grumbling under her breath) Can it, Maestro... Anyway, happy birthday you two! *hugs Scooter first, then Skeeter*
Tosh: Can we give them their presents now?
Kim: Yeah, go ahead.
Tosh: Here, Skeeter! This is from me, Betty Lou, and Kim.

[Erine81981]

*applauds* Ya'll were terrific! I've alwayed loved that song. Oh by the way Scooter and Skeeter. Theses are from us the mosnters and from Bryan's roomies and him too. *hands them the presents* Hope you two like them.

[Ruahnna]

A party of four stops outside the doorway to the 1st floor common room. Catherine (Ru) is in the lead, holding Fozzie's hand. Fozzie has his other hand over one ear and is la-la-la-ing to himself, and Catherine holds two presents in one hand and looks a little harried. Behind her are sounds of sniping.
"...none of your beeswax!"
"Oh yeah? Well I say it is my business if you're going to--"
"Oh look who's suddenly interested in my whereabouts?"
"What do you mean suddenly? I told you--"
"Sell it to somebody who cares."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
Catherine stops abruptly and Kermit and Piggy crash unceremoniously into her back, knocking her and Fozzie forward a step. Catherine turns around and glares at her other two roomies. She does not look amused.
"Okay--I've officially had it with you two!"
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Don't huh and what me! I've been listening to you two bicker for two days now--two whole days! You're driving me crazy and just look what you're doing to Fozzie." (Fozzie looks miserably from behind his hat, where he has been hiding his face.)
Kermit has the good grace to look sheepish, but Piggy is unrepentant.
"It is not moi's fault that he has been acting so--"
"ME? You're the one who--"
Catherine: (holding up her hand) Aah! Uh uh uhh! I am not having this! We are about to go into a party and you are NOT going in having this stupid argument.
Kermit: (sullenly) I don't think it's stupid. (Piggy sulks.)
Catherine: (glaring at both of them) Stupid doesn't even begin to describe it. (Turning on Piggy suddenly.) Tell him!
Piggy: (looking astonished and betrayed) I will not!
Kermit: Ah ha!
Catherine: (fixing Kermit with a stare) And you be quiet. Piggy--tell him or I'll tell him. This is going to END. NOW.
(Piggy huffs and puffs for a few minutes, looking mutinous, but eventually shrugs her shoulders and sighs.)
Piggy: (mumbling) I was at the hospital.
Kermit: What? The...the hospital? Why?
Piggy: (unintelligible mumbling)
Kermit: Say again?
Catherine: A little louder, please, dear.
Piggy: I was at the hospital visiting Bean.
Kermit: Bean Bunny? Little guy lives down the--
Piggy: Cute? Annoying? That's him. We were taking a class together and the professor asked me to take him notes from class.
Kermit: (Looking flustered and embarrassed) Well, if you were at the-- (He stops, frowns and scrunches up his face, eventually turning to her suspiciously.) You can't have been visiting him the whole time.
Catherine: (slapping hand over forehead) Of for the love of Pete! (Fozzie starts la-la-la-ing again.)
Piggy: I didn't say I was visiting him the WHOLE TIME.
Kermit: You didn't even come home one night! I know--cause I was waiting up for you! We arranged the whole room just to surprise you and you never even came home that night!
Piggy: (looking at Kermit differently, her eyes soft) You waited up for moi?
Kermit: (still mad) I sure did! (He sees the look in Piggy's eye and it takes some of the angry wind out of his sails.) Um, that is, I was waiting but I fell asleep in the recliner and when I woke up, you weren't home.
Piggy: (gently) I didn't see you when I came in.
Kermit: (flustered) You came in?
Piggy: Of course I came in! What did you think....oh, Kermie. (Her voice is reproachful, but sweet. She puts a hand on his arm.) I didn't see you or I would have spoken. I left the next morning very early for an audition in the city. I was trying to get back in time for my class.
Kermit: Audition? I didn't know....
Piggy: You didn't ask. When I got back, you were giving moi the third degree and I didn't like it. I didn't know why you were being so snotty, and it made me mad, too.
Kermit: (a little hurt) You never even said anything about the room.
Piggy: Oh. It looked nice. I was a little hurt that you did it without me.
Kermit: Oh. We never thought, um.... Sorry. We didn't mean to exclude you. I didn't think you'd be interested in moving the furniture.
Piggy: I wasn't. But I could have made some suggestions about style.
(They look at each other a little hopefully. Piggy already has her hand on his arm, so it is easier for her to lean in and give him a quick little hug.)
Piggy: Sorry. (She tries to pull away, but Kermit holds on a little longer, giving her a whole hug. When they break apart, he is still holding her hand.)
Kermit: Me, too. Do you--would you like to add the finishing touches to the room? I mean, you live there too. We want you to feel at home there.
Piggy: Oh, Kermie.
Kermit: So, after the party we can finish our room?
Piggy: That would be nice.
Catherine looks relieved, and Fozzie has stopped singing to himself.
Catherine: Was that so hard?
(Piggy and Kermit look at each other and smile. Kermit steps forward and hugs Catherine, then Fozzie.)
Kermit: We're sorry. We--I acted like a big jerk. I'm sorry we acted so silly.
He turns to Piggy, who looks at him blankly, but she relents when he hauls on her hand.
Piggy: Sorry. (She reaches out and gives hugs Fozzie, who is still hugging Kermit.) We didn't mean to make you two miserable.
Fozzie: Please don't fight any more. I hate conflict!
Catherine: (sighing deeply) Now can we just go in to the party? We're going to miss all the fun stuff at Scooter and Skeeter's birthday party.
Fozzie: (turning toward the door) You know, that's so funny.
Catherine: What's that, Fozzie?
Fozzie: Scooter and Skeeter have the same birthday. I mean, what are the odds?
Catherine: Um....
(Kermit takes the lead, pulling Piggy after him into the common room.)
Kermit: C'mon you guys--let's celebrate a little.

[The Count]

Thanks for going over the schedule with me Scooter.
Scooter: Sure, no problem Ed. Some of those shows look pretty interesting.
Yeah... At least now I know which ones to tune in to on what network and at what time on Saturdays.
Scooter: BTW, where's Skeet?
Oh, she's probably with Red and the rest of the cheerleaders... Getting ready for the game. Hmm, wonder if it's the team from Acme Lou. Got some friends there I haven't seen in a long time.
Scooter: Yeah, I think Sara mentioned something about those guys that one time...

Heh, if only I was confident about what I wanna create.
Scooter: Come again?
Well... I said that the Count would have these little PVC figures of fiends from the Old Country... But I keep waffling and wembling if I want to go down that road or not. It's one of my worry-spots.
Scooter: Oh, I see... *Shaking head as if not really.
Don't worry about it Scooter... Let's just get ready for the game later tonight. Some of the gang from around here might help me out with that later, we can chata bout it through the dorms PM system.
*Both move out of their room and up to the reading room for some fanfic updates.

Jabber: What are you doing?

Nyz: Daydreaming...

Jabber: But it's night...

Nyz: Then I'm Nightdreaming...

Jabber: Isn't that kind of a waste of time?

Nyz: Not at all...It is clinical proven that if you don't "work out" your brain it will shrink...and one of the best ways to "work out" your brain is to Daydream...or Nightdream as the chase may be...

Jabber: I see...

Nyz: Besides...If I didn't Day/Nightdream I would never be able to write my stories...ever...

Jabber: <nods>

*Scooter and Skeeter are sound asleep, both tired out after cheering at the big game and selling sodas and snacks at the big game.
Count, quietly: Ed? Vhat are you doing up so late?
Well... Just felt like getting up and checking my messages for a while.
Count: Mmm, I see. Vell, just let me know if there's anything interesting.
Will do buddy.

*Reads messages from Ryan. Huh? Thought we were playing against the Acme Loons this week. Oh well, guess that game got pushed back to next week, and the game with the Mice was this Saturday. Sure hope we won though.

The Storyteller's Dog: What are you doing up so early again? I figured you would be to tired to get up this morning.
Melissa: Well, I would be if I wasn't going to work again.
The Storyteller's Dog: You're working entirely to much.
Melissa: I'm sorry, but I'm needed and the money helps my husband and I get the little things we need for the house we are buying.
The Storyteller's Dog: True.
Melisa: Anyway, how are you doing? Settling in okay? Sprocket showing you around and giving you the grand tour?
The Storyteller's Dog: Yes, <looks over at Sprocket who is sleeping on his back with his legs half up in the air> he's a good dog. This is a welcome break from all the traveling around a Storyteller has to do. Better than that cold, drab castle we stay in too. I think I might like it here.
Melissa: Good, I'm sorry that I haven't been around so much to get you settled. I promise to spend more time with both of you on my next day off.
The Storyteller's Dog: Which is?
Melissa: <Shrugs as she stands up to find shoes to be able to leave> By the way, what's your first name?
The Storyteller's Dog: I don't have one. Most people call me mongrel.
Melissa: That won't do. You should think about what you want to be called let me know.
The Storyteller's Dog: Okay, I'll do that.
Melissa: You all behave today and I'll see you tonight after work. <leaves room and quietly exits dorms>

MN: Wait...what...aw, man, Scooter and Skeeter had a birthday this weekend and I missed it? Rats. I need to start taking on a relaxed workload.
Nora: Great...just when I had to go up to Danforth and visit my snob of a brother and his buddies in Delta Upsilon Mu. (aside) Spells out DUM.
Storyteller: Now, now, I managed to grab some cake, and there's a football game soon. (starts sorting through letters) Ah, here's one from the Rock...Beige Fraggle is the Cave's new ambassador to the Rock, and on his first official visit he brought his little sister Ecru along, how nice...oh ho, what's this?
MN: Judging from your sudden tone shift, I'd say there's something juicy in that letter.
Storyteller: The World's Oldest Fraggle is now going out with the Cave's Oldest Fraggle!
(room dissolves in peals of laughter)
Nora: Now that's irony, seeing as they hated each other's guts. (looks glum) But I bought Scooter this really nice green and orange and turquoise sweater, and I got Skeeter a new set of nunchuks.
MN: Yeah, and a while ago I got Scooter some good books of guitar music, and I got Skeeter a trial membership at the local skydiving school.
Storyteller: Oh...I think you'll still have time to give those to them.

Floyd: What are you wearing Diana?

Diana: It's a new shirt Floyd.I bought it at the Maryland Rennaisance Festival.

Dr. Teeth: How did you enjoy your stay at the woods of medieval imagination?

Diana: It was nice to be walking around,seeing a lot of families spending time together.A place to be invisible amongst the living.I miss being in the forest too,reminds me of summer camp.

Janice: We have a balcony Diana,care to check it out? We put some patio furniture,a dart board and a foosball table out there,gives us something to do.

Diana: Fabulous.Thanks for doing that. Will be a nice place to meditate at too.

Janice: Fer surely.

Lisa: I am NOT sick.
Rowlf: Yet.
Lisa: <Glares.> I am not sick, and I am not GETTING sick.
Rowlf: You're awful tired for someone who's not getting sick.
Lisa: That's called sleep deprivation. Happens all the time.
Rowlf: And you don't look so good, either.
Lisa: That's because I'm TIRED. Not sick.
Rowlf: <Puts paw on Lisa's cheek> You're awful WARM for someone who's not getting sick, too.
Lisa: It's warm in here.
Robin: I'm not warm!
Lisa: Well- you're cold-blooded. I over heat easy. Big difference.
Rowlf: So you're not sick?
Lisa: No.
Rowlf: And you're not getting sick.
Lisa: No.
Rowlf: Well in that case, why not write some more story?
Lisa: Would you CAN IT, Rowlf? I'm all ready in enough of a guilt-trip for not going to the family party today OR going out to see my grandmother when she was supposedly in my aunt's car at the synagogue. I have homework to do, all right?
Rowlf: ...You're also in an awful bad mood for someone who's not getting sick.
Lisa: ROWLF!
Rowlf: Sorry.
Lisa: <rubs head and groans>
Rowlf: Just drink plenty of water, okay?
Lisa: <sarcastically> Yes doctor.
Rowlf: Hey, your mom told you the same thing...
Lisa: I know...
Robin: Rowlf?
Rowlf: <Guiding Robin out of the room> Let's go to the park... Just leave her be for now, Robin.
Robin: Do you think she's just upset?
Rowlf: Upset?
Robin: She said Ed was the only one who replied to the chapter she posted with Ryan...
Rowlf: That may have something to do with it. The fact that she stayed up past two in the morning to post that chapter might have something to do with it, too.
Robin: But Ryan stayed up too, and he seems okay...
Rowlf: I don't know, Robin. I just think it'd be a good idea to leave Lisa be for now.
Robin: Okay...

Lisa: <Now alone in room 24> I am not sick. I'm just tired. ...I can't be sick, I have too much to do. And besides, I feel fine... I'm just tired. <Drinks water>

Wow... That was a great come from behind win.
Skeeter: What team was that?
The NY Giants.
Skeeter: Sure was great!
Yeah... And my team won too.
Skeeter: The Giants?
Nope, the Ravens. Different team. There's cold sodas or juice in the fridge if you want. I'll be back in a little while.

*Goes to check on Erin. Hey Erin... You can still hand the twins their gifts, they're staying with me for the weekend until Christy and Sara get back. And the MC Frogs game was last night.
Hope this helps... Let us know if you catch Richard's cameo in the movie.

Lisa: <leaning against doorpost of room 24, glaring at door of room 25> Same way you knew without a doubt that it was I who made the thud. <Raises and lowers eyebrows> Beware the wrath of Lyan... <giggles> <starts to close door, stops, throws it back open> And I am NOT SICK! I was just tired. I feel much better now, so beware... <glares over shoulder at backpack.> Well. Prepare to beware, anyway... <goes back into room and resumes work on homework>

MN: Storyteller...
Storyteller: All right, all right, I misread the calendar.
Nora: Okay, I'll bring Scooter and Skeeter's presents over! (runs out of room)
MN: I'll be along in a bit. Let's see. One book of James Taylor hits arranged for solo acoustic guitar, one book of random blues tunes, same arrangement, one trial membership to the Falling For You skydiving school...and one pack of Ace bandages, just in case.

[redBoobergurl]

Red: Boy, what a weekend!
Beth: Yep, sure was great! We beat the Mice in the game 33-21!
Wanda: Not a bad way to start off the year
Abby: I had fun at the game and the party! It was a fun weekend.
Beth: Yes it was. I'm glad you're feeling better Abby. Now it sounds like Lisa's getting sick, or well, maybe not
Red: We should take her some chicken soup just in case
Beth: Wanda should take it, it'll give her an excuse to see Rowlf
Wanda: Oh hush now. I'd be glad to take it though
*they make chicken soup and Wanda brings it up to room 24 explaining that it's not because she is sick, it's to prevent her from getting sick*

[The Count]

Huh? That's not the score I got from Prawny... Will let the two of you get together and talk it over before adding it to the team's record.

Gillis: No, I always talk in my sleep at *checks clock* 7:38 in the morning. What are you doing?
Kim: I got called in to work this morning, at the school. Last minute.
Gillis: Obviously, or you wouldn't be rushing like this. What grade are you subbing for.
Kim: I dunno. The secretary didn't even know.
Gillis: You mean you agreed to sub and you don't even know what grade it's for?
Kim: Shhh! Keep your voice down; don't want to wake the neighbors, or our other roommates for that matter. The only thing I know is that it's elementary school. With any luck, I won't be subbing in the fifth grade.
Gillis: What's wrong with fifth-graders?
Kim: That's when they start becoming obnoxious little brats who hang around the library and cause trouble. Now go back to sleep, and let the others know where I went.
Gillis: *laying back down* All right. What time will you be home?
Kim: Any time between 3 and 4; depends on if I need to stay after for any reason.
Gillis: You mean the aide's sub might have to stay after school? *snickers*
Kim: To help the teacher, Gillis. To help the teacher.
Gillis: Oh, teacher's pet then.
Kim: Y'know, you're skating on thin ice, Maestro.

MN: The Curse of the Golden Boar. You're in it, I'm in it, the Muppets and Muppeteers are in it, a bunch of us are in it...that sorta thing.

Hey Sis... Here's Skeeter's present, sorry it's late. Got her a neat sports watch, it has a stopwatch feature and a sort of bugle call alarm. Hope she likes it.

Ernie: It was great! We had the first football game, Scooter and Skeeter's birthday...
Telly: You missed a lot.
Bry: I know. I wish I was around.
Bert: How many more weekends do you have to do this show of yours?
Bry: Only one more weekend, Bert.
Bert: Oh, good.
Bry: I'd like to make it up to you for missing everything this weekend. I've been invited to a special press luncheon for the USC football team today and I thought maybe you guys would like to come.
Ernie: USC?
Big Bird: Hey, I think Red Fraggle told me about them once. It's the University of Silly Creatures...whatever that means.
Bry: (laughs) Something like that, Big Bird. Anyway, you guys wanna come?
Ernie: You bet!
Bert: Ernie, we have class today.
Ernie: Oh yeah.
Telly: Yeah, and I have a tuba lesson this afternoon.
Bry: Oh.
Telly: Sorry.
Big Bird: Well, I'm not busy. I can go!
Bry: Oh, great, Big Bird!
Ernie: Hey, when you're there, see if you can get the inside scoop on their team's strategies this year so we can whip them when we play.
Bry: You got it, buddy. Okay, Big Bird, it's just you and me. You ready?
Big Bird: Yep!

Big Bird: It was such a beautiful room. Reminded me of the banquet hall we used to celebrate Grover at the Flyer's Club Roost.
Bry: Yeah, this one was a little bigger but it did look almost like that.
Big Bird: I wonder where everyone is.

Sure hope Scooter got back to his room all right, saw Sara here earlier though I haven't heard from her. Hope he likes the neat leather bound agenda we got him for his birthday, he can keep much more information stored there than on his clipboard, stuff like important dates and phones and that sort of stuff.

Bry: Hey, Bert, would you do me a favor?
Bert: Sure. What is it?
Bry: Would you make a few deliveries for me? A couple of belated birthday gifts and a card for Kyle thanking him for letting you guys stay with him last weekend.
Bert: No problem.
Bry: Oh good. (Hands Bert 3 envelopes each containing something different--the first one is for Scooter and holds a gift card to the Sharper Image; the second, for Skeeter, has a gift card for Chicks Sporting Goods; the third is a thank you card for Kyle.) I really appreciate it, Bert.
Bert: You're very welcome. I have a system.
Bry: What's that?
Bert: Get a load of this...(walks over to the window) Bernice! (Bernice the pigeon soars down from the roof and lands on the window sill) Would you deliver these please?
(Bernice coos and takes envelopes in her beak and flies off to deliver)
Bry: (intrigued) Well, look at that.
Bert: Pretty nifty, huh? Now, that's air mail! (Laughs)

[Leyla]

Wanda is sitting by herself, staring sadly at a picture of Wayne. She looks up as Leyla enters their room.

Wanda: Hi... oh... are you okay?

Leyla: Hmm? Oh, oh yes, I am. I'm just....

Wanda: You look confused.

Leyla: Yes, that's it exactly. I'm confused!

Wanda: Um... about what? I'm... not feeling too certain these days either.

<Leyla smiles and settles next to Wanda in their little blue sofa, drapping an encouraging arm over her shoulder.> I know. It'll get better.

Wanda: Thanks... are boys confusing you too?

Leyla: Well, one is... but not in the same way. It's one boy and one girl, actually. A couple of writers... or maybe just one.

Wanda: Toga and Prawnie?

Leyla: Yeah, I was hanging out with them for a while... and they were being confusing... and evil, apparently. I only know about the confusing part.

Wanda: <confused> I... don't understand.

Leyla: I don't think you're supposed to. It's fun though.

Wanda: So you had a good time?

Leyla:I did! I really did. They're good fiends.

Wanda: Um... was that a mistake? You mean good friends?

Leyla: Sure... that too. <laughs>

[theprawncracker]

Uncle Deadly: *pokes head into Layla's door* Ah, yes they're good fiends as well, believe you me. Now if you'll excuse me, that prawn has an essay to finish...*leaves*

[Leyla]

Leyla: Did... that just happen?

Wanda: Oh, relax. You'll get used to him.

Leyla: He's a little scary.

Wanda: And Prawnie and Lisa aren't?

Leyla: Point taken.

[Erine81981]

Hey there guys. Back from my sisters.

Grover: Why did you have to go over there?

The nieces wanted to see me and I thought I would go over there to visit.

Herry: We got a card.
From who?

Herry: From Bryan. He says "Thank you Kyle for letting my roomies stay over."

*calls Bryan up* Hey Bryan. Glad to see you back. Sorry I missed yea. I was out for a few days. I hope your roomies didn't think I abandon them. Sure thing. Anytime you need someone to watch over them I'll be the man. Thanks for the card too. You and your friends are welcome anytime. Bye. *hangs up* I just can't get enough of Big Bird, Telly, Bert and Ernie. There all fun to be with.

Cookie M: Me enjoyed Ernie over. He should come over often.

Yep. So do I Cookie Monster. Time for some TV. *sets back*

Cookie M: Me watch too. *grabs a box of cookies*

Can I have some?

Cookie M: *hands box to me*

Thanks. *starts eatting them like Cookie does*

Cookie M: Me not know you a monster?

I'm not. Just being around you makes me do crazy things.

Cookie M: Me see. *grabs box back*

*shrugs*

[The Count]

You know something Fatatatita... *Sitting with her in my lap.
Been thinking of posting something along the line of short little scenes... Stringing them along into a grand collection... Might have some Muppetlike characters, might have some humans, and might have some other things. Hmmm, will probably talk it over with some of those writer fiends of mine. Maybe they'll see this and we can talk about it over the dorms' mailer.
Oh well... *Lets her get back to her corner, moves on to check more posts.

[Katzi428]

Prairie & Rosita come in
Prairie:OK Kath...what's the matter?she sits cross-legged on the floor
Rosita: Yeah...you're not usually in such a bad mood. You okay,amiga? Oscar didn't say anything to get you so upset,did he?sitting next to Prairie on the floor
No....Oscar didn't say or do anything to get me mad. I guess I felt like it was one of those days. You 2 were lucky you had to work. I was really bad company today.:rolleyes:
Prairie:You feel sick?Headache?Flu symptoms? It's going around the dorms,you know.
Don't worry "Nurse Prairie";) I'm not sick.Just tired,I guess.Hopefully things will be better tomorrow.
Rosita:I know what'll make you feel better.
What?
Rosita:You'll find out in the morning.Now why don't you get some sleep,OK?
C'mon...tell me!
Rosita:And ruin the surprise? No way Jose! Prairie knows, right Prairie?
Prairie:I'm pretty sure I do. 'Night Kath!
But.....
they tiptoe out of my room
Rosita*whispering*:Those chocolate croissants that Kathy loves. I saw them in Mike's Bakery in Hensonville on my break!
Prairie:Good idea! And I'll get her a double chocolate chip frappucino from the coffee shop!

[BEAR]

Bry: It's so nice not to be sick anymore.
Big Bird: Yeah, I'm glad you're feeling better.
Bry: Yeah, it didn't last that long. And I really think it's a bit too early for the flu. Hopefully we can all keep ourselves from getting it this year. We don't want what happened last year.
Ernie: What happened last year?
Big Bird: Everyone got so sick. Even Snuffy!
Telly: It started with just snuffle sniffles, and then he would sneeze so hard he blew me right out the window! It was like living in the middle of a hurricane!!
Bert: Wow.
Ernie: (laughs)
Bry: We tried everything to get him better, including warm cabbage soup, but it wasn't til later when we found out that we needed the leaf of a stink plant for the mixture to work.
Ernie: A stink plant?
Bert: Whatever happened to good old fashioned echinacea?
Big Bird: Good thing we had Stinky around. He saved the day!
Bry: He sure did. Let's just hope that none of us get that sick this time. Anything good on TV?
Telly: Deal or No Deal.
Bry: Oooh! Let's watch that!

[BEAR]

Telly: Hey, Bryan? What's is the Letter and Number of the Day?
Bry: Hmm...I dunno. I thought we'd find that out from Prawnie tonight.
Ernie: No problem!
Bry: You know what the sponsors are tonight, Ernie?
Ernie: No, I don't, but Rubber Duckie does.
Bert: Rubber Duckie knows the Letter and Number of the Day?
Ernie: That's right!
Bert: Oh, Ernie...
Bry: Okay. Well, then I'll leave it to you then. Goodnight, you two. Goodnight, Big Bird!
Big Bird: (from his nest area outside the kitchen window) Goodnight!
Bry: Come on, Telly, let's go to sleep. (goes to bed)
Telly: Okay. (follows me)
Ernie: Go ahead, Rubber Duckie. What is the Number of the Day? (Ernie squeazes Duckie as he talks to him) Is it 1?
Rubber Duckie: *Squeak*
Ernie: No, it's not 1. Is it 2?
Rubber Duckie: *Squeak*
Ernie: It's not 2, either.
Bert: Ernie, what are you doing?
Ernie: Quiet, Bert. Rubber Duckie is about to tell us the Number of the Day. Is it 3?
Rubber Duckie: *Squeak*
Ernie: No?
Bert: Ernie, Rubber Duckie does not know the Number of the Day.
Ernie: Of course, he does, Bert. (to Rubber Duckie) Is the Number of the Day 4?
Rubber Duckie: *Squeak*
Ernie: It's not 4, either?! What could it be? Is it...is it the number 5?!
Rubber Duckie: (excitedly) *Squeak* *Squeak* *Squeak* *Squeak*!!!
Ernie: The Number of the Day is 5! Yay!!
Bert: Now, Ernie, stop this nonesense! Your Rubber Duckie did not just tell you that the Number of the Day is 5!
Ernie: He didn't? Are...are you sure?
Bert: I am sure, Ernie. That is ridiculous! You just made that up is all!
Ernie: I made it up, Bert?
Bert: Yes. All the duck did was squeak. You made him squeak. He did not say the Number of the Day.
Ernie: Oh...well, okay, Bert. I guess you're right.
Bert: Of course, I'm right.
Ernie: Gee...sorry about that, Bert. Come on, Rubber Duckie. Let's get ready for bed. (goes to the bathroom)
Bert: Yeah, it was made up. (Under his breath) Honestly...
Oh, hi, Bernice. (Walks over to Bernice, who is perched on the window) What's that?
Bernice: *Coos*
Bert: What? (looks around to see if anyone else is in the room) Bernice...(lowers voice) The Letter of the Day is T?
Bernice: *Coos*
Bert: Terrific. I love the letter T. Thank you, Bernice.
Ernie: (walks up behind Bert) Hey, Bert!
Bert: (Startled) Ah! Oh, hi! Hi, Ernie.
Ernie: Bert, whatcha doin'?
Bert: Nothing. Nothing at all, Ernie. (embarrassed laughter) Just um...saying "goodnight" to Bernice. That's all...
Ernie: Oh...okay. Well, I'll be getting in bed now. Goodnight, Bert.
Bert: Goodnight, Ernie.

[The Count]

*Chuckling... Oh those two... They're almost as bad as Lyan.
Hmmm... Wonder where it is that Rosita works. I know Prairie helps out at Fran's Fragrant Flowers... And you can probably get a good cup of joe at Jim's Coffee House...
Oh well... Off to take care of some errands. Sure hope Sara's OK, haven't heard from her in a while. Also hope Kendra's doing fine, she hasn't been here in a while.
*Goes off to get some breakfast.

[JaniceFerSure]

Zoot: What's that smell?

Diana: It's coffee from Dunkin' Donuts Zoot.I bought the gallon box,in case anyone wanted some.

Dr. Teeth: Thanks for the cafe Diana.

Diana: You're welcome Dr. Teeth.

Beth: Yes, I've got a chocolate chip one for you, a tuna one for Wanda and a doozer dust one for Red
Red: What kind of muffin are you going to eat?
Beth: Blueberry
Wanda: I'll go down to the kitchen to get us some milk
Beth: Sounds great! I love muffins
Roomies: We know!

*Christy wanders down the hallway reading the notebook in one hand and balancing two full latte cups in another*

Christyb: *muttering to self*

Skeeter: *coming down the hallway looking for her coffee* Whoa there! *takes her cup* You sure that was a good idea?

Christyb: Huh? Wha? Oh the coffee. Sure it was. Actually, that's the carmel mocha which would be mine. Yours is the single white mocha still in my hand.

Skeeter: *switches the coffee* Gotcha. What's so fascinating by the way.

Christyb: Destiny...*frowns, hands Skeeter my cup and begins scribbling*

Skeeter: Yours or the story?

Christyb: Ha ha very funny. No it's this whole reverse Piggy/Kermit thing. It's so much fun to have Piggy be the disintrested one!

Skeeter: I actually have a neat idea for the next chapter! Let's go into the common room and I'll tell you!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

MN: (on phone) Mmmhmm. Right. Okay, it'll be in tomorrow. (hangs up) I love my job.
(sneezing from Nora's room)
Storyteller: Nora, are you all right?
Nora: No...(achoo). One of Mike's fraternity buddies had a sinus infection, and I think I caught it! (achoo) My day is ruined.
MN: Take a few decongestants and kick back with some soup and OJ. I'll call Mrs. Farley and tell her you can't come in to work this afternoon. (goes back to desk and starts shuffling through story notes again)

Rosita:Hi Kathy!Wait!Stay in bed!

Bry: Thanks for the doing the sponsors last night.
Rubber Duckie: *Squeak squeak*

Bert: Bernice helped too!
Ernie: *Snickers*
Bry: And thank you to Bernice.
Telly: (eating his cereal)
Bry: Hurry, Telly. You don't want to miss your Triangle Lovers Club.
Telly: Oh, that's for sure. Thanks for watching the clock for me.
Ernie: It's a lovely day. Hey, Bert, what do ya say we go outside and do something fun?
Bert: Okay, Ernie. Let me get my shoes on.
Bry: I'll see you guys later. Gotta get to Hoopers.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Aye carumba...El tarea de espanol es muy mal...Que molestia...
Gonzo: What was that?
Me: Oh nothing...Just trying to do this Spanish homework and finish my chemistry...Hey, do you know how many protons there are in Ce?
Gonzo: 58.
Me: ...How do you know that?
Gonzo: It's a weirdo thing.

[The Count]

Well... First problem is that it should be "la" tarea, seeing as how "tarea" (assignment) is a noun that demands a female concording article.
Hope that helps Prawny... Gonna be busy reading through all the posts and fanfics, just hope it's more chapters than reviews.

[Erine81981]

Guys I order some pizza!

Cookie M: Cookie pizza too?

No. Sorry Cookie Monster. I order just regaler.

Cookie M: Me never get pizza me like.

Grover: Cookie Monster? You seem to forget that you eat all the cookies that Kyle lets you have.

Cookie M: But me wanted cookie pizza.

I got your other favorite.

Cookie M: Me not care. *sits with hand on chin*

(whispers to Maurice) I got the pan pizza of the century.

Maurice: You did!? Oh my gosh!

Cookie M: *purks up*

Grover: No! You could not have!

Herry: For real?

Yep!

Herry: WOW!

Cookie M: *waves his hand like "who cares" and sits back down*

*sees Cookie Monster not interested* Oh well. I guess he doesn't care.

Cookie M: Ooooh me need to know what Kyle got! But me not want them to know me interested. Me in a bind. Me got to find out.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Oh Goooooooonzo!
Gonzo: Hark! Is that the commentary call of the Prawn done with his homework?
Me: Yup! Let's go!
Gonzo: Whoopie!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(Nora is bundled up against the pillows, looking generally sulky and stopped up)
Storyteller: (enters with a bowl and spoon) All right, here you go. One bowl of radish and potato soup with rosemary on top. Best thing in the world for what you've got.
Nora: (sniffle) Thanks. (starts slurping up soup) So where's Erin?
Storyteller: Out coping with assorted job and school-related stresses.
(door creaks open)
MN: What a day...
Storyteller: There's soup on the stove.
MN: Thank you...Nora, I've got a get well card for you from Mrs. F., and another one from your brother and sisters. (tosses cards to Nora)
Nora: Ahhh! Be careful with that one from Heather and the twins, it could be rigged. (rips open one; it explodes in a flash of blue flames) See?
MN: Obviously they've been taking lessons from Don Sahlin. (goes to kitchen, gets bowl of soup) Oh, and I swung by the Henson offices downtown...and it looks like you're not the only one laid up with a cold. (starts spooning up soup) You see, Linda Lavin was there last week for a show, and she had a cold...and now Richard and Kathy have it...and Dave and Jerry didn't look so great either.
Storyteller: Oooh...I'll save some soup for them. (runs off to kitchen)
MN: (laughs softly) I know; I stopped by to visit them at their homes. They're all sicker than I don't know what.
Nora: Must be an epidemic...(flumps back onto pillows)
Storyteller: (returns with four glass jars full of soup) Do you think you can run these off for Kathy and the boys?
MN: Sure. Just let me finish first.

[BEAR]

Bert: (on the computer) Oh this is just awful...
Ernie: What's wrong, Bert?
Bert: Oh, it's all these people that are buying the new TMX for regular price and then trying to resell it for profit of up to a thousand dollars. Then when all the retail stores sell out, parents have to turn to online sources to buy the toy for their kids. But the costs are so expensive that no one can afford it. It's just not right.
Bry: Yeah, Bert, I was looking at that too. It's been upsetting me all day actually.
Ernie: Atleast we get the real deal just down the hall for free! Khekhekhe!
Bry: Haha, that's true, Ernie. I just can't believe people could act so selfish and greedy though at the expense of the children.
Ernie: This is terrible! (on the verge of dramatic tears) Those poor kids! (starts to shake Bert) We can't let this happen, Bert!
Bert: Well, there's really not much we can do about it.
Ernie: Of course there is! We can get the whole gang together and fight this. We need to save Elmo! (Sticks head out the door to the hallway) Who's with me?! Who's going to help save our little red buddy?!

<Melissa jumps back up and stares at table again.>

The Storyteller's Dog: But maybe we should try an intervention first?

<Sprocket nods and the two dogs walk up and put their front paws on the table.>

Sprocket:<Whispering to The Storyteller's dog> Arrgh ruff.
The Storyteller's Dog: I don't see anything exciting up here either. Just different shades on pieces of paper.
Melissa: For your information these are paint chips.
Sprocket: Ruff aroo, ruff arrgh.
Melissa: I'm also trying to catch up on all the posts that I missed over at MC. As well as start preliminary work on my next chapter so that I don't leave Gonzo and Camilla in a lurch forever.
The Storyteller's Dog: Will you ever stop doing everything at once?
Melissa: No. Will you ever decide what name you want to go by?
The Storyteller's Dog: Let me get back to you on that...

Cookie M: Me wanted a cookie pizza and Kyle didn't get one.

Oscar: Why not?

Cookie M: Because...*hears someone coming into the dorms*

Pizza Delivery Monster: Hello? Is anyone here for this pizza?

Cookie M: He's here! What me do?

I don't know. Maybe it's here. *goes out into the hallway*

COOKIE MONSTER!

Maurice: I guess that answers your quesion.

All the monsters race out into the hallway

Herry: What happened?

Cookie Monster ate all the pizza.

Grover: Why did you do that?

Cookie M: *full of pizza lying on the floor* Me wanted to know what pizza Kyle got. URP! Excuse me.

Today was really a great day. I can't thank you 2 enough for treating me to lunch and dinner in Hensonville! Plus the special breakfast this morning:) You really went all out.
Prairie:Hey....you deserved it!
Rosita:Sure did!Because you're a good friend to us.
And you're good friends to me! Before I go to bed,I'm going to massage my feet in that foot massager I bought.I need to go to the podiatrist tomorrow.That toenail of mine doesn't look so good & I don't know what he'll want to do about it.
Rosita: Do you think he'll want to remove it?
To be honest,Rosita....I'm not sure. If he does,I'll be off my feet for awhile.
Rosita:Ay....pobrecita Kathy.:sympathy:
Gracias Rosita. I'll be OK.
Prairie:Well...we'll help you in any way we can.
Thanks Prairie.Goodnight girls & thanks again.

Going to bed now, good night guys.

Nora: How'd they like the soup? I was asleep when you came back.
MN: They loved it...but they're all going to have to stay in bed for another day.
Storyteller: (chopping radishes and potatoes at counter) We'll just have to make more. And later on I'll show you my recipe for rockweed bisque...
Nora: I dunno, Storyteller. Rockweed bisque might be all right for Fraggles but I don't know how silly creatures would take it.

[Erine81981]

Well guys. I'm going to be headed over to my granny's around noon. So I don't know if I'm staying the night or staying over there for a while. I thought if I don't return you could go stay with Bryan and the gang. Got it?

Cookie M: Understood.

Maurice: *salutes* Yes sir!

Good. Just let Grover and Herry know about it.

Cookie M: You can count on us.

Thanks guys. I'm going to get gather some stuff up.

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: *laying back on her bed, staring at the ceiling.*

Scooter: You okay?

Sara: Why is it, whenever I'm finally quiet for a moment, you ask "you okay?"?

Scooter: Cause for a human, you're pretty much like us muppets. You're rarely quiet. And when you're quiet, either your sleeping, or something's going on in your head.

Sara: *scoffs playfully, looking over at him.*

Scooter: And you definately arn't sleeping. So, what's going through your head?

Sara: You really wanna know?

Scooter: *sitting at the computer, looking over at her. His expression is that he's not really sure if he wants to know or not now.* Uh...sure.

Sara: What's for dinner tonight? What should I wear to work today? Will I have to stock supplements? Am I going to have to bag dehydrated fruit yet again? Are there going to be anymore 'come in just before we close shop' customers tonight? How long is it going to take to count my drawer down? What's going to happen to Red, Doc, Convincing John, and Doc in my story?

Scooter: Uh....let's see. Whatever you decide to fix. I'd say jeans and a comfy t-shirt, probably good sneakers with those insoles. I'm not sure. From you told me, no, because usually Aubrey or Lou does that. Hopefully no, cause that is a pain isn't it? Usually 20 minutes, but you are getting better and faster. And I have no clue, until you write more story.

Sara: *sitting up now, after having listened to his answers* ...Wow. I never expected you to answer them.

Scooter: Kermit always shoots off questions to me like that. I'm used to it. ;)

Sara: Okay, gofer. Anything on your mind?

Scooter: Whens the next chapter?

Sara: It might be tomorrow, only got it halfway done as of now...

Scooter: Oh, alright. Oh hey, I heard from Nora that the guys are sick! A cold or something.

Sara: I'll send them some Beaufort Stew. That'll make 'em feel good.

*She and Scooter make up a huge pot of Beaufort stew, and then haul it into town to give to them.*

MN, Storyteller and Nora encounter Sara and Scooter on the way into town.

Storyteller: Oooh...that stew smells divine!
MN: I think Kathy and the boys are definitely going to get well, what with all the soup and stew we're sending them.
Nora: Storyteller, what's that you're holding?
Storyteller: It's my rockweed bisque, of course. I whipped up a batch last night while you two weren't looking.
MN: Let me taste...mmm, kind of minty. All right. Each invalid gets one jar of potato and radish stew, one jar of rockweed bisque and one goodly portion of Beaufort...and I just heard that they're all still pretty ill; Richard tried to sneak out of bed and shoot a few hoops during the night, and that aggravated his lungs quite a bit.
Storyteller: Ooooh...well, you know how he is, the poor dear.

PETER: What is it, Zoe?

ZOE: Peter, didn't i hear that Ernie and Telly are on a mission to Save Elmo

PETER: I heard

LITTLE BIRD: It's just that the new TMX is that they get it at regular price and then sell it at a much expensive price

BABY BEAR: (sobbing): Oh!, this is horrible, I can't believe these people would do that at the expenses of those poor children

PETER: I looked up on EBay and one TMX sells for $250 because retail stores run out of TMX (Tickle-Me-Elmo's) and parents have to turn to Online sources to by TMX's for their kids

ZOE: I know, on the way to classes, we can sign on the sign-up sheet that Ernie and Telly posted on the Lobby

LITTLE BIRD: Good Idea

BABY BEAR: We need to save our red friend, Elmo

PETER: That's right!!!!

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: I forgot I have to find a place for you guys to stay this weekend because I'll out of town for a wedding!
Red: Oh sure, just dump us on someone else
Beth: Now come on, you know that's not what's going to happen
Red: I know
Wanda: Well, I'd like to stay with someone who knows me quite well
Beth: I understand that. Logicially I'd love to send you to Lisa's because Rowlf is there, but I know Lisa's been busy with school and hasn't been around much
Abby: I want to stay with someone I know well too, I'm still new
Beth: There's that to consider too. Would you guys like to stay with Ed and the Count? I'm sure they'd be willing to have you come down there
Wanda: Sounds good to me
Abby: And me
Red: Sure, why not
Beth: I'l give him a call now. *calls Ed* Hey, I was wondering if you could take in a few extra roomies this weekend? Friday night through Sunday night specifically?

[The Count]

Sure, no problem Beth... Though I'll probably be reading for my classes, I hope. Let's just see what happens, though I think they'll have plenty to keep busy around here at the dorms.

Catch you later.

(Ernie and Telly are sound asleep on the couch)
Big Bird: They were up all night.
Bry: Okay, this is ridiculous. (waking up Ernie and Telly) Guys? Guys, you need to get up.
Telly: (sleepily) Need to help Elmo...
Ernie: (just as sleepily) Must save him...
Bry: No, look...I really admire you two doing this and trying to win justice for your friend but the way you are doing it is going to make you sick. Listen, I promise that we will try and figure something out, but right now you need to go to your beds and get some rest. Then in a couple hours I will wake you so that you can wash up for the Awards tonight. (leads them each to their respective rooms) Is Bert back from the store yet?
Big Bird: Not yet.
Bry: Well, I hope he gets back soon. We need to get ready for the MC Awards.

[The Count]

Uh Bryan... Last I knew, the awards won't be handed out until Friday. Unless Prawny's changed the date, if so he'll tell us when he gets back later.

[BEAR]

Bry: Thanks, Ed. Hmm...if that's the case then I probably won't be able to attend. Will be doing the last weekend of my show. We'll see what Ryan says.

[Katzi428]

Rosita:How did you do at the foot doctor, Kathy?
Eh...so so.He cut off a lot of the nail that was bugging me,so that was a relief. He then asked me if I wanted the whole big toenail to be removed next time or just half. I told him the whole nail because it had been bugging me a lot. So he said I made a good choice.
Prairie:When are you going to have it done?
After I get back from my cruise next month. This way I won't need to be in pain on the cruise or have to soak my foot every night I'm there.
Prairie:Good thinking. Now another question,Miss Kathy...
Uh oh...here it comes.:rolleyes:
Prairie:What were you doing up in the middle of the night? You OK? I heard you padding around at 3 this morning.
Insomnia, Prairie. But hopefully I'll sleep OK tonight.
Rosita:Oh...I wish I had known. Mi abuela always heated up milk for me when I couldn't sleep.I would've heated you some.
Thank you Rosita. But I wouldn't have wanted to wake you. Tonight if I have insomnia,I'll heat up some milk for myself.

[theprawncracker]

Me: *sees Ed and Bry debating about Awards date* Hey guys, the awards are still on Friday, so Bry don't wash up yet...On second thought do, have you been hanging around Oscar? *wink* Just kiddin' man. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a chemistry quiz and math test to study for. See you guys!

[The Count]

That, among other things like commentary and TTMBT.

*Leaves CD with meditational music wrapped up in wrapping paper and a card that reads "Happy Birthday Rocco!" on Room #27's doorstep.

[BEAR]

Bry: Thanks, Ryan. On second thought, I have been hanging around Oscar and I should wash up. Dirty Grouch. Thanks...

Tosh: *climbing up to Kim's bunk* Kim?
Kim: (tiredly) She's not here; she's dead.
Boober: What? Kim's dead?!? Oh no, what'll we do? We'll have to move out!
Kim: *sighing* Put the paranoia on simmer, Boober; I was kidding. Besides, if I were dead would I be talking to you right now?
Boober: No, I guess not. ...You aren't sick, are you?
Kim: No. I'm just tired from working at both the school and the library today. I only had an hour and a half break in between my two jobs.
Betty Lou: Then why did you agree to work at the school again?
Kim: Little things called "bills", Betty Lou, remember? Besides, I worked pre-k today, so it wasn't too bad.
Gillis: Will you go in again if they call you tomorrow?
Kim: ...*sighs* I'm crossing my fingers that they don't call, Maestro. I'd prefer two days of sleeping in before Saturday rather than one or none.
Boober: Well maybe if you went to bed earlier you wouldn't be so tired in the mornings and you wouldn't have to sleep in.
Kim: Message recieved, Boober. No reply.

Ernie: What are you doing, Bert?
Bert: Oh, hey, Ernie. I'm just wrapping up this birthday present for Rocco.
Ernie: Rocco?
Bert: Yeah. You know Rocco, Zoe's pet rock?
Ernie: Oh, sure.
Bert: Yeah. Oh this is going to be great!
Ernie: Uh, Bert? What exactly do you give a rock for its birthday?
Bert: That's a very good question. I thought a long time about this and decided that Rocko should have a pet too.
Ernie: Oh really? What did you get? A gerble? A cuddly little kitten?
Bert: No...
Ernie: Bert, you're not giving a pigeon, are you?
Bert: Not a bad idea! *laughs* but no. It is the perfect pet for a rock.
Ernie: And what's that?
Bert: (holding up wrapped gift) A twig!
Ernie: I should have guessed.
Bert: *Laughs*
Ernie: Well, Bert, I'll be taking my bath now. See ya later.
Bert: Okay. Bye, Ernie. (Examining his wrapping work) Hmm...needs a ribbon.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Homework is so draining...
Uncle Deadly: I could go clog up the sink for you.
Me: Good grief Uncle D. not you too...
UD: *chuckles* It rubs off on you if you spend TOO much time around you pun-ish types.
Me: This is true, I just hope once it's rubbed on, it rubs off just as easy.
UD: See what I mean?

(In the bathroom taking a shower...)
Bry:
I like to sing, sing in the shower. Ah-ha!
As the water falls, I let my voice ring loud and clear.
I like to sing, sing in the shower. Ah-ha!
'Cause I love the way that my singin sounds in here.
And as I sing I imagine I'm upon the sand,
Imagine that I'm singing with a great big band.
My records are playing on the radio.
And I'm going to be the star of a great big show!
----------------------------------------------------

(In the bathtub...)
Ernie:
That's why I sing, sing in my bathtub. la-la.
As I soak myself, I let my voice ring loud and clear.
I like to sing, la la, sing in my bathtub.
'Cause I love the way that my voice sounds in here.
And as I sing I imagine what I want to be.
Like a singing sailor on a stormy sea.
Or a crooning cowboy on an open plain.
I can even imagine that I'm singin in the rain!
-----------------------------------------------------------

(Outside behind the dumpsters in a muddy barrel...)
Oscar:
That's why I sing, sing in my mudbath.
As I squish around, I put my lovely voice in gear.
That's why I sing, huh-huh-huh, sing in my mudbath.
'Cause I love the way that my singing sounds in here.
Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
And as I sing I imagine that this is a swamp.
And it's even better than the city dump.
The crocodiles are restless, and you hear a screech.
And up comes Oscar, the king of muddy beach!
-----------------------------------------------------------

(Outside in the garden; it's raining a little...)
Big Bird:
That's why I sing, sing in my birdbath.
As the water falls, I just belt it loud and clear.
I like to sing, sing in my birdbath.
And I take a bath every time it rains out here.
And as I sing I imagine I'm a surfin ace.
I'm riding my surfboard in a surfing race.
The waves are getting restless, I'm about to fall.
So I turn into a plane and fly away from it all!
-----------------------------------------------------------

All 4:
That's why I sing, sing in the shower/bathtub/mudbath/birdbath. La-la!
As the water falls, I let my voice ring loud and clear!
That's why I sing, sing in the shower/bathtub/mudbath/birdbath. La-la!
'Cause I love the way that my singing sounds in here!
La-la! La-la-la-la. La-la-la-la-la-la.
Oh yes we love the way that our voices sound in here!
