[TogetherAgain]

Robin: LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISA!!!!! *jumps in Lisa's arms*
Rowlf: Well I'll be! The three minded one has returned!
Swedish Chef: Leesa! Yuoore-a beck! Hurey! Noo I cun shoo yuoo my noo receepe-a fur Metza Bell Suoofle-a!
Ryan: Lisa! Welcome home, finally! You owe me big time half/fiance/wife of mine! I handled your Secret Santa, your roomies, and your sister!
Gonzo: And me on top of all that!
Ryan: Yeah! So, how plan you to repay moi?

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <Giggles> <hugs Robin> Hey Rowlf- Love to see it, Chef- I think- Um, And Prawnie, I plan to repay you by, um... ...So how's Trip coming?

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: ...Trip... It's uh, it's great, uh yeah. Well, Rowlf, guys, you have your stuff packed, you know where the door is, thanks for staying, see you around! *pushes other half and her roomies out* Phew...
Uncle Deadly: So how IS Trip coming? Hmm?
Ryan: Don't make me push you out too.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Now, you girls have your first day of class tomorrow, so I want you both to get a decent night's sleep, no excessive amounts of caffeine or loud rock music...
Nora: No fair, why do you get to have all your classes starting in the late morning?
MN: Because I knew that Monday nights with the paper would leave me feeling ragged. So there.
Nora: I've got a history class at eight in the morning. Zombie central.
MN: Hey, you want zombies, just see the people I work with. I swear, these people never sleep.
Storyteller: Yes, but you are not "these people." And you, Erin, in particular, really need to set aside some time for relaxing, thinking, working on writing...
MN: Yes, Mom...and hey, wait a minute, don't you have to teach an eight o'clock class tomorrow yourself?
Storyteller: Yes, and I plan to take my advice of no caffeine and...
Nora: Then why are you chugging back that mug of superstrong spider tree tea?
Storyteller: Well, I need my energy to...
(much joking)
MN: Come on, who's up for cocoa?

[The Count]

Huh? And here I thought tomorrow was a holiday. Oh well, good thing my classes or courses or however they're called are afternoon/night classes. Though I have to go through the same old song and dance of finding readers/assistants to hire... Not to mention getting the books I'll need... And not knowing what fic project I want to work on...
Count: So many little vorries... Just count them and they'll go avay as each gets taken care of. Ewentually.
Like Robin said, when's eventually?

Wonder if there'll be more fanfic updates soonerishkibbible... *Sighs while sipping a glass of milk before heading off to bed.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

MN: Yeah, you'd think they'd be good enough to let us have MLK Day off. But the profs will use any excuse to annoy us.
Nora: We were supposed to have tomorrow off? Nuts.

[The Count]

I have a dream... Or rather, I'd like to have one where I finally figure out what it is my fic projects should go.
Oh well, we can't have everything. Wonder if some nagging will prompt those authors into action...

[BEAR]

Hey, Ed. Thought you were going to write the story of Hensonville and how it all came to be.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Hey Cookie, did you sleep good last night
Cookie: Yeah, me sure did. Me dreamed there were lots of macaroons and me had to eat them all to get out of the room
Beth: Sounds yummy
Cookie: It was. Me wish me had macaroons right now
Beth: We could probably find you some type of cookie down in the kitchen, maybe some lunch too?
Cookie: Oh boy, that sound great, let's go!
Beth: All right

[The Count]

Oh hi Bry... That's one possible fic project, but I think that'll just be archived for now. Besides, there might be someone else working on something similar. What I'm kinda mulling over is my counting characters, how I can't seem to decide on a full bat-girl following or all the monsters of the night and why one has to be mutually exclusive of the other and my constant changing of minds between the two.

Might settle on something that mixes a bit of both, but of course, no decision's final as of yet. It just kind of brings me down a bit from time to time, but I keep goin' on.
Take care, might have something to share with you soon though, no promises though.

Ernie: (walks through the livingroom wearing swim trunks and holding a towel and Rubber Duckie) Hi there, Bert! (humming to himself)
Bert: (sitting in his chair reading a book) Oh, hi, Ernie. Have a nice bath.
Ernie: I'm not taking a bath, Bert.
Bert: You're not? But you've got your towel and Rubber Duckie...
Ernie: I'm going to the beach!
Bert: To the beach? Ernie, it's the middle of winter.
Ernie: I know! Now let's see...I got my towel, my sunglasses (puts on sunglasses), and of course Rubber Duckie!
Rubber Duckie: (wearing matching glasses and a dab of sunscreen on his beak) *Squeak squeak*
Ernie: Khekhekhekhe!
Bert: But it's freezing outside. Ernie, you'll catch cold!
Ernie: Oh, I'm not going outside, Bert.
Bert: You're...not??
Ernie: Nope. I'm going bringing the beach inside.
Bert: Inside? Oh, oh! I see! You're pretending! You're pretending to go to the beach inside!
Ernie: That's right, Bert! (unfolds beach chair and sets it in the middle of the room)
Bert: Neat! Eh-eh-eh-eh!
Ernie: Let's see here...where is the perfect place to sit to catch some rays.
Bert: Catch some rays? Well, outside, Ernie. That's where the sun is.
Ernie: No, the sun is inside. (grabs the lamp and moves it over his beach chair) There we go!
Bert: Ernie, that's my lamp! I was using it to read!
Ernie: You can have it back when I'm done! Now what's missing?
Bert: Missing?
Ernie: Yes. What is on a beach that we don't have here?
Bert: Well, sand, of course...
Ernie: Exactly!
Bert: But you're not bringing sand into the livingroom, Ernie!
Ernie: Oh, just a little, Bert! (brings out a bucket full of sand and spreads it all over the carpet)
Bert: I just vacuumed!
Ernie: I'll clean it up in a minute, Bert!
Bert: (angrily) Grrrrr...
Ernie: Now, I'll just put on my cd of soothing ocean waves. (he turns on the cd player and lounges in his chair) Aaah...pretty relaxing, huh, Bert?
Bert: Ernie...
Ernie: Come on, Bert! Relax at the beach with me.
Bert: Well...
Ernie: It's really fun!
Bert: Alright...I'll just sit over here...this is silly, but I'll try.
Ernie: You can use my glasses.
Bert: Thank you. (puts on Ernie's sunglasses)
Ernie: Now feel the soft sand between your toes.
Bert: Well, I feel it in my saddle shoes, but--
Ernie: Imagine the warm sun against your skin...
Bert: Oh...ya know, it feels pretty good!
Ernie: Of course it does, Bert!
Bert: Yeah! Eh-eh-eh!
Ernie: Now imagine seagulls flying around in the sky. (the sounds of seagulls are heard)
Bert: How about pigeons?
Ernie: There aren't any pigeons at the beach, Bert.
Bert: There are at my beach!
Ernie: Oh!
Bert: Hey, Ernie! You were right. This is kinda nice! It sure beats the cold!
Ernie: I knew you'd like it, Bert!
Telly: (peaks in the door from the hallway) Hey, Ernie! Come on outside and make a snowman with us!
Ernie: Oh, I'll be right out, Telly!
Telly: Okay! (goes back out)
Ernie: (gets up and starts puting his snow clothes on over his swim trunks, humming to himself) Hmm hmm hmm...
Bert: This is so great! I am totally relaxed.
Ernie: That's wonderful, Bert, but I'm gonna go outside to play now. Enjoy the beach! Khekhekhe!
Bert: Thanks! I will! Ah, the sand against my feet and that nice cool breeze sweeping in...
(Just then, Ernie opens the back door to go outside and a big gust of cold wind blows in the room bringing a snowstorm inside covering Bert.)
Bert: (shivering) Er-er-er-n-n-ieeeee...

(music cue: the "Whah whah whah" ending music)

Take care, might have something to share with you soon though, no promises though.

Sounds "nifty", as a friend of ours would say!

[BEAR]

Rosita: Here's your chicken tortilla soup, Bert. Be careful! Es muy calliente.
Bert: (wrapped in a blanket with his bare feet soaking in a tub of warm water) Thank you.
Bry: Have you heard from Kathy at all yet, Prairie?
Prairie: No, but I hope she's feeling better. She's just been through so much lately. We should do something really nice for her when she gets back!
Rosita: Si. You're right, mi amiga. I wish we could do something for her right now though.
Big Bird: You could make her a card and send it to her. I have some crayons and paper you can use.
Bry: That's a great idea, Big Bird. What do you think, girls?
Rosita: Sounds good to me!
Prairie: Yeah, me too!
Bry: Alrighty!
Big Bird: Great! I'll go get the crayons and paper! (goes out to his nest)

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: YARGH!!!
Gonzo: Something wrong?
Ryan: Gee, what would give you that idea?
Gonzo: Well, you did shout YARGH!!!!
Ryan: That was sarcasm Gonzo.
Gonzo: The YARGH!!!! was sarcasm?
Ryan: No! The- Ugh! I hate homework!
Gonzo: Well maybe if you weren't out all weekend you could've gotten it done.
Ryan: ...I think you should go now Gonzo.
Gonzo: Could you kick me out? I'd enjoy it more.
Ryan: *kicks Gonzo out*
Gonzo: Whoopie!

[BEAR]

(up on the rooftop...)
Hoots: Muppet Dorms were brought to you today by the letters M, L, K, and by the number 3. Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day! (plays "One Small Voice" on his sax)

[redBoobergurl]

*Cookie Monster walks into the room as Red is doing some situps*
Cookie: Red? What you doing?
Red: Situps and stretches. I have to get in shape for the swim season!
Cookie: Oh! You going to dive again? You real good at that.
Red: Sure am! I love diving as much as you love cookies.
Cookie: Cookies! Where cookies?
Red: No, Cookie, I was just trying to compare something
Cookie: What compare mean?
Red: It means seeing what is the same and what is different
Cookie: Oh I get it. Me loving cookie is same as you loving diving.
Red: Right! Boy, living with you must be rubbing off on me already, I'm doing Sesame Street type lessons!
*they laugh*

[Erine81981]

Grover: When will he bere here?

Any second Grover.

Herry: I can't wait to meet him.

Maurice: Me too.

Few hours go by and still no FilFil

Maurice: Well I'm heading back in. It's to cold out here. *goes back in*

Grover: Sorry guys but I have to start my mail carrying job. Let me know when he gets here.

Don't worry Grover. You'll get to meet him when you get back from work.

Herry: I wonder if Cookie is having fun?

[BEAR]

Gaffer: (pawing at the door) Meow...
Bry: What? You wanna go out and play with Fatatatita?
Gaffer: Meow!
Bry: Okay. (opens door) There ya go!
Gaffer: (trots off downstairs)
Ernie: Gee, it sure has been quiet around the Dorms lately.
Bert: I like it.
Bry: Well, winter break is coming to an end, so people are probably either going back to work or school.
Rosita: I wish Kathy was coming back here.
Bry: Well, did you finish making your card for her.
Prairie: Yep! Just finished. See? (holds up the card)
Rosita: It's a drawing of Kathy playing with us in the snow. That's me and that's Prairie.
Prairie: We drew it because that's what we miss about Kathy most. Her smile and how much fun we would have playing with her. I drew her throwing a snowball at me but missing. Tee hee hee!
Bry: Very nice. Should we mail this now?
Prairie: Yes, please!
Bry: Okay. Let me just put it in an envelope and take it to Grover for delivering. (puts card in envelope and writes Kathy on the outside of the envelope)
Bert: Oh, why don't you have Bernice deliver the card? It will be much faster.
Bry: Are you sure, Bert?
Bert: Oh yeah! Bernice loves taking mail!
Bry: Okay. Here you go. (gives Bert the envelope)
Bert: (taking the envelope and goes to the window) Here, Bernice. Please take this letter to Kathy.
Bernice: *coos*
Bert: (places envelope in her beak and the pigeon flies off) Thank you!..."Air mail" (laughs) Eh-eh-eh-eh!

[Erine81981]

Herry: *sees Bernice* There goes Bert's pigeon. *waves to Bernice*

What's she doing?

Herry: Looks to be a peice of paper in her beak.

About that time a bus pulls up in the parking lot

Look it's Fil.

FilFil: Thank you sir. Thanks for letting me dance. You dance very well too sir.

Bus Driver: Thank you FilFil. I'll see you later. Bye. *waves and shuts door and drives away*

FilFil: Ok. Now where do I go first?

Hey FilFil! Over here!

FilFil: *sees Me and Herry* Hey there!

*walks over to him* Glad you could make it.

Herry: Let me get those for you Fil.

How was your trip?

FilFil: Fun. I got to meet lots of people. I got to dance on the bus too. It was so much fun.

Glad you had a safe trip. Let's head to our room.

Everyone stops to say hi and to greet our new dormie FilFil "

FilFil: Everyone here is so nice.

Yep. Everyone here are nice to everyone.

Oscar: *pops up from his trashcan* What have we got here?

This is our new roomie Oscar. His name is FilFil.

Oscar: I see. Come here FilFil. I want to tell you something.

FilFil: *walks over to Oscar's trashcan* Yeah?

Oscar: *leans over in FilFil's face and yells* NEVER COME NEAR MY TRASHCAN EVER! *slams trashlid*

FilFil: *runs back over to us*

It's alright Fil. He's always been like that. He's a grouch.

FilFil: You got that right.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Oh, the college girls are exhausted.
Nora: No sense repeating the obvious, Storyteller. (turns to MN) What do you have, Erin?
MN: Two newspaper stories and an ode to write, a chapter to read on ancient Egypt, and I have to start reading Dangerous Liasons. You?
Nora: Two chapters on Renaissance art, one chapter to read on the Aztecs and five bio questions.
Storyteller: If you two want my advice, I'd tell you to worry about the paper stories tomorrow, Erin. As for you, Nora, just tackle one assignment tonight.
MN: All the permission I need, teach.
Nora: Right on.
Storyteller: But since you were up late last night with the paper tigers, Newsgirl, you'd better get a few decent Zs. Is that clear?
MN: (mutters something in assent)

[BEAR]

Rosita: Bryan?
Bry: Yes, Rosita?
Rosita: Do you think Kathy got our card yet?
Bry: Well, I don't think Bernice has come back yet.
Rosita: Oh.
Bry: But Florida is quite a distance from here and Bernice is small, so it may take a while.
Rosita: But Bert said it would go faster.
Bry: He did say that and I'm sure it will. Afterall, if the card was put through the regular postal service, then it would have more stops with the approval and stamps and filing and sorting... I never thought I'd say this, but thank goodness we have a pigeon. Don't worry, Rosita. If Kathy doesn't get it today, then I'm sure she will very soon.
Rosita: Oh good.
Bry: Now come on and let's get the others for dinner.
Rosita: Okay!

[Katzi428]

from home:
Hmmm...what's this? Hey!A Get Well card from Rosita & Prairie! Bert's pigeon Bernice delivered it to me. Thanks Bernice!Here..have some bread and relax your wings a bit.
looking at card Oh...look at the drawing of the girls and I in the snow! Awww...I miss them! I miss everyone in the dorms! I'm going to try and go back tomorrow. I need to thank Bryan for taking care of Prairie Rosita & Gaffer for me.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Gonzo, Trip won't write itself.
Gonzo: Has it ever?
Ryan: ...No.
Gonzo: Oh.
Ryan: P.
Gonzo: Family forum Ryan!
Ryan: Good grief...
Gonzo: Ah well. Just get back to your writing. *leaves*
Ryan: ...Curse that weirdo.

[BEAR]

(in room 6, Prairie and Rosita are laying in their beds trying to go to sleep...)

Rosita: Prairie?
Prairie: Yes?
Rosita: Prairie, I'm worried about Kathy. I mean, she hasn't called or anything. Do you think she's okay?
Prairie: I'm sure she's just fine. She's been through worse than this.
Rosita: Si, you're probably right. What do you think she's doing right now?
Prairie: I'm sure she's sleeping and getting plenty of rest as she should be.
Rosita: Oh, I miss her.
Prairie: Me too. Hey, you know what I'd do to her if she were here?
Rosita: What?
Prairie: This! (throws a soft fluffy pillow at Rosita's face)
Rosita: Hey!
Prairie: (giggling) Tee hee hee!
Rosita: This means war! (throws a pillow back at Prairie, which leads into a playful pillow fight)
Hoots: (outside the window) Hey, girls!
Rosita: Hola, Senior Hoots.
Prairie: Hi, Hoots.
Hoots: Just wanted to let you know that Bryan got a letter from Kathy saying she'll be back to the Dorms tomorrow.
Rosita: Really?
Prairie: Yay!!
Hoots: And also, it's your night to do the sponsors.
Prairie: Oh! Well then...the Muppet Dorms were brought to you today by the letter T for teach, terrific and tomorrow.
Rosita: And by el numero quatro--the number 4!
Hoots: Nice! Well, goodnight!
Prairie: Goodnight!
Rosita: Buenos noches!

[The Count]

Hey Bryan... Hope you have your closed captioning equipment ready should Episode 4115 air today in hopes of getting that last Hopping Honker's name. Will try to get it on my own should the episode air here on my local affiliate, but if you can help out that'd be great too. Talk to you later though.

[Katzi428]

Prairie and Rosita...come on back when you get a chance.Bye!

[Katzi428]

Prairie opens the door to our room and she and Rosita (who's holding Gaffer) walk in
Prairie:Kathy! You're back!:excited:
Sure looks that way!How are you,Prairie? Come give me a hug...both of you!
Just be gentle OK?
The girls each hug me and Gaffer gently jumps on my lap and starts purring happily
Rosita:How's your foot,Kathy?
Still hurting unfortunately,Rosita. Look...you two won't mind helping me with things,will you?
Rosita:Kathy!Estas loca,chica?Of course we won't mind helping you! Right,Prairie?
Prairie:Um...I guess so.What was the first thing you said,Rosita?
Rosita:Oops..sorry Prairie.I asked Kathy if she was crazy. "Estas loca?" means "Are you crazy?" in Spanish
Prairie:Ah-ha. Kath...we're definitely going to help you.No ifs and or buts.
Thanks.Of course there are some things that I'll need to do myself.
Prairie:Oh we know that.The doctor in the ER was crazy not to give you a walker or crutches.
Well my house at home is small and only 1 floor.I can't balance on crutches anyway. I have this shoe that's supposed to help heal my foot. Not really doing any good though.:rolleyes: I've been putting ice on my foot too.That's not helping either.I see my foot doctor tomorrow.
Rosita:I hope that it helps you.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *skips into room*
Clifford: Uh oh... He's happy.
Ryan: Hello Clifford... Is it not a splendid day?
Clifford: So who's the girl?
Ryan: Pardon?
Clifford: The only time you act like this is when you've got a chance with a girl, or when you finish a fan-fic. And since the second choice ain't logical, who's the girl?
Ryan: Silly Clifford, my happiness cannot be summed up just like that!
Clifford: M'kay, then how 'bout the fact that you're talking like Grover. You only do that when you're really excited. And the only time you're really excited is when you think you've got a chance with a girl.
Ryan: ...Alas, I must go Clifford!
Clifford: To where?
Ryan: To hide in my room so you quit interrogating me. *runs and locks self in room*
Clifford: Hey! That's my room too!!

[The Count]

Alas indeed. For seuth, if only twas there more fanfic abounding tonight... Whoa, for I do so loveth fanfics... And yaey verily, updates hath been long neglected. To nag, or not to nag, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the muffins and ziffles of outrageous fortunes... Or whether more canst be posted in one night. Alas, I say, and alas again.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(group is gathered around the dinner table)
Storyteller: All right, let's have a recap of everyone's day.
Nora: Okay. (clears throat) I went to my classes, ran a few errands, did my shift at Coming Unbound, that sort of thing.
MN: I went to my classes...and my history prof completely forgot that our class was the ancient Egypt class...and after my last class of the day, I went to the campus' monthly Great Books forum.
Nora: I've heard about that. They usually go in for the dusty old tomes like the Aeneid.
MN: Yeah, well, tonight it was the Sherlock Holmes books.
Nora: Wow!
Storyteller: All right, my turn. I taught my two classes on legends and folklore, started work on a biography of the World's Oldest Fraggle and I had lunch at that new radish bar shop in the south branch of the Rock...and Beige Fraggle and his little sister finally delivered those stories from the Cave.
Nora: What took them so long?
Storyteller: Well...one of the stories in there was a rather torrid story about the Cave's Oldest Fraggle and some of her old boyfriends...so the new security Fraggle advised Beige and Ecru to hold off on coming.
Nora: What? Beige isn't security Fraggle anymore?
MN: No, he gave the job up so he could become the Cave's ambassador to the Rock.
Storyteller: And he says he likes his new job a lot better. Now dig in, that winter vegetable pie won't stay hot forever.

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Were Prairie and Rosita okay sleeping in their own room last night without Kathy there?
Bry: Oh sure. I had Hoots watch over them.
Big Bird: Good.
Bry: Man, it's so cold. Will it ever stop?
Big Bird: (cheerfully) But it's wintertime! It's supposed to be cold!
Bry: I know that. I just wish it wasn't as cold inside as it is outside. Sometimes I think it's colder.
Bert: (coming in the room followed by Ernie) No.
Ernie: Come on, Bert!
Bert: Ernie, it is a secret and he will tell us when he is ready to tell us.
Ernie: But, Bert...
Bry: Hey, boys! What's going on?
Ernie: Well, I heard from Clifford that Ryan is holding a juicy secret and won't tell anybody.
Bert: And I was telling Ernie that he should mind his own business.
Ernie: But I'm bored, Bert.
Bert: I'll tell ya what, if you're bored then why don't the two of us play a game of checkers.
Ernie: No, I want to do something exciting and interesting, and this secret is the most exciting and interesting thing that's happened around here for a while!
Big Bird: We can play Journey to Ernie! We haven't played that for a while.
Ernie: Not today, Big Bird.
Bry: Ernie, maybe you spent a little too much time with Red Fraggle while I was gone because it seems like she's rubbed off on you.
Ernie: What do you mean?
Bry: Nevermind. The point is that Bert's right. Leave Ryan alone. He'll talk when he wants to talk.
Ernie: I think he mentioned something about a girl!
Bry: Ernie, that's enough!
Ernie: Oh, alright...
Bert: Come on, Ernie. I'll show you my newest book I checked out at the library--Cloudy with a Chance of Oatmeal. (leaves the room)
Ernie: (not enthused) Great... (follows)
Bry: (To self) A girl, hmm? Hope it's not Hilda. Yikes!

[TogetherAgain]

Rowlf: <Checking Lisa's temperature> I'm still not sure why you stayed home sick. You don't feel too bad.
Lisa: Yeah, well, considering the headache and nausea of yesterday, I didn't think I'd survive another day of school. It's a shortened day, anyway. And I've got stuff to work on...
Rowlf: <Shrug> Suit yourself. Just be glad you slept through the part of the day when Chef's the only one in the room.
Lisa: Heh. He was my only room mate for a while, 'member? I think I could handle it.
Rowlf: Suit yourself...

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Arrrgggg
Wanda: What's wrong?
Beth: I'm so bored. I have nothing going on right now and I'm just so bored.
Red: I'm not, I've got swimming things to prepare for
Beth: Well, I'm not a swimmer
Cookie: When me bored me make cookies then me eat them
Beth: I suppose I could do that but that's not the most productive thing I could be doing
Red: You could watch me dive!
Beth: Yes, I could do that
Wanda: We could go shopping
Beth: No money, bad idea
Wanda: True
Red: You know what? You should do something nice for yourself!
Wanda: Great idea Red! Let's do nails and facials and stuff!
Beth: Ok
Red: Well, I'm still going diving
Cookie: Me think me going to watch t.v., girly stuff not for me
Beth: I understand. Come on Wanda. Tell you what Cookie Monster, when we're done, we'll make cookies too. And even come watch you practice Red
Cookie: Oh boy!
Red: Cool!

[The Count]

Well... If you're feeling bored Beth, you could always do a drabble or two. Yes Lisa, that's the word of the day... Not "squabble" like when you and the prawn and the British boy squabble-squabble-squabbled... Drabbles, go check the thread in the fanfic library.
Either that, or you could start that 4th story you hinted at a while ago.

As for me, errands and alike dominate tomorrow, but I have time for some goofing off this somewhat chilled rainy afternoon. Might have something done now that there's, um, well, never mind. Don't want to jinx it.

[redBoobergurl]

Ah yes, the fourth Rowlf story, the big wedding of Rowlf and Wanda....now if I could just get this stupid block out of my head......

[BEAR]

Telly: Call the doctor!! Call the doctor!! It's an EMERGENCY!!!
Bry: Telly, what is it?! What's wrong?!?
Telly: Beth has a block in her head!!
Big Bird: A block in her head? Sounds painful.
Telly: (grabs me by the shirt) Quick, Bryan! Call 911!
Big Bird: Yeah, Bryan. Do something!
Bry: But wait a second, Telly--
Telly: (runs back out) Don't worry, Beth! We'll help you out!!

[Erine81981]

Hey there.....Tel...ly. What's wrong with him?

Herry: I over heard something about someone having a block in their head.

A block? In their head?! Never mind. Come on Herry. We're showing FilFil around the droms. Here's Bryan's room. Hey Bryan. Big Bird. This here is my new roomie. FilFil.

FilFil: Hey there.

What was wrong with Telly?

[The Count]

Heh, I know the feeling.

*Spotting Telly and Big Bird coming out of the common room's elevator. Hi guys, what's... Huh? No Telly, Beth's fine. She just meant she had a bit of writer's block. Although if that's the case, we might have to call in Dr. Bob to operate... Not the piano, I meant remove the pencil lodged in her arm causing the Writer's Cramp she's suffering. Just hope the boomerang-shaped Funny Bone in her elbow isn't extracted either.

Oh sorry... Those were just some jokes, she'll be fine.
Say Big Bird, isn't Birdketeers this afternoon? You might want to hold it indoors due to the cold weather outside.
And here are some mugs of hot white chocolate with vanilla and peppermint, with some mint candies.
*Hands out cups to Telly, Big Bird, Wanda, and Beth.

*To Beth: If you need to talk about story ideas, contact me if you wish and we can talk then.

Hey, Kyle! Herry, my man! (gives Herry high five) Hi there, Filfil. Welcome to the dorms! You're gonna love it here. Maybe later you'd like to present the letter and number of the day! Sorry about Telly. He's a little high-strung sometimes. I better go get him. See you around!

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Oh, right! Birdkateers! Thanks, Ed. And thanks for the hot chocolate. See you later!
Telly: Are you sure it's just writer's block? Alright. Right behind ya, Big Bird.

[The Count]

Bye guys... Oh hi Bry, they just left.

BTW: So everybody knows...
Kyle's new roommate is named "FilFil", both "F"'s in his name should be capitalized.
Why do I stress this? Because FilFil is the US cousin to an SS monster from the Egyptian co-production named... Filfil.
And since most of our roomies are from the US neighborhood, I just thought you might need this little reminder to make sure you know what Muppet monster is living with us, and more specifically Kyle, here in the dorms.
That's all... Have a good day guys and dolls.

[redBoobergurl]

*Beth sees Telly and Big Bird running out to Birdketeers*
Beth: Hey guys, thanks for the concern, Ed's right, just a little writer's block, that's all. Have fun!
Wanda: So, now that we're done with our nails are we going to make good on our promises to Cookie Monster and Red?
Beth: Sure are, let's go get our cookie loving friend and do some baking and then head down to the pool

(Ed, will be PM'ing you about my story at some point soon here, thanks.)

[The Count]

When you can Beth... Have a recipe for chocolate chip cookies, since those are his fave... But these are chocolate chip amaretto ice cream sandwich cookies. Watched it today on the earlier episode of Everything Italian, I just love that network and the shows they have. One of my true faves is Iron Chef: America, lots of crazy stuff on that show.

Oh and Beth, I might need your help as well, so I'll wait for your message to then ask for your help in turn.

[BEAR]

Thanks, Ed. And I'll be sure to keep a look out for some of those names. Maybe Big Bird can help me out too. Also, before you leave, Beth...when do you suppose swim team will start? I think Ernie was wondering. Thanks. See you all later!

[tvlistingman]

LITTLE BIRD: Well, I'm going to Birdkateers meeting, this afternoon, indoors

BABY BEAR: I'm going with you to

PETER: Have Fun

ZOE: What'cha doing, You got more TV schedules

PETER: Yeah!!!

ZOE: This is from Hawaii

PETER: Yes, Honolulu, HI from 1972-89

ZOE: You know Sesame Street went to Hawaii one time

PETER: I know and Big Bird knew that Snuffleupaguses come from Hawaii

ZOE: That is definitly true

[redBoobergurl]

Red: Hey Bryan! Funny you should ask about the swim team, I'm just getting ready to start practices! The official season will start February 1st with practices starting next week. Have Ernie give me a call and tell him to bring Rubber Ducky too!

[Erine81981]

FilFil: Thank you Bryan. Can't wait! *starts dancing around*

Herry: Catch ya'll later Bryan.

Talk to you later. Come on FilFil.

FilFil: Ok. *dances back to the room*

Out in the hallway........

Oscar: *pops up* Hey Telly. I have some candy for you. *hands Telly one of Oscar's trick candies*

[BEAR]

Telly: Oh. Hi, Oscar! Candy? I get it! This is to thank me for the great Secret Santa presents I gave you for Christmas, huh. You didn't have to do that! (opens up the candy)...

[Katzi428]

Hey girls hobbling into the room with a boot-like immobilizer on my foot
Prairie:KATHY!Oh gracious!:eek:
Rositagetting up from her chair, taking my arm and helping me sit down Where is that sandal you were wearing?
The doctor said that my foot is fractured after all.So I need to wear this thing all the time except for when I shower.
Rosita:Even to bed?
Yeah. Plus I need to get a walker.
Prairie:Oh Kath!getting tears in her eyes:sympathy:
Prairie...Rosita...come here...both of you.putting my arms around the girls and hugging them Listen to me.I've been through much worse in my life.You know that.I'll survive! Always have & always will. I promise!

[BEAR]

Telly: (opens the box of candy from Oscar and a scary grouch jack-in-the-box type clown pops out) AAAAAHHHHH!!!! (drops the box and runs away)

[theprawncracker]

Clifford: Where's Ryan?
Gonzo: Hauled up in his room with the door locked.
Uncle Deadly: And he's been constantly text messaging for two hours.
Camilla: Brawk bawk bycuk bragawk.
Gonzo: Yup. Lady troubles.
Uncle Deadly: Methinks there may be some male troubles as well.
Clifford: Figures.
Gonzo: Hmm... So it's probably Lisa's fault, right?
Uncle Deadly: How do you figure?
Gonzo: Well they ARE married, aren't they?
Clifford: Good greif.
Camilla: Bawk brawk!
Gonzo: I think it would be best if we just left him alone, c'mon gang.

[The Count]

So... No chance of more fanfic from the prawn tonight huh?
Hmmm, maybe he just needs some space. And some ideas. And more story to actually post.
Oh well... *Flicks on the TV to watch some late night programming.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Sounds like Ryan's not feeling to great.
MN: Well, ya know, it's been one of those days. I nearly drowned and froze to death on my way back from art class.
Storyteller: Yeah, and (snerk-k-k-k) I think I'b cubbing down wid a code.
MN: Wid a code...hmm, is that some spy flick I haven't heard about?
Storyteller: (sneeze, sniffle) Berry fubny.
Nora: I think she means the upper respiratory infection.
MN: I know she means the upper respiratory infection. I just can't resist making a bad joke. Go put your feet up, Storyteller, and I'll bring you some radish tea.
(Storyteller sneezes and sniffles some more, and retreats to her hut)

[BEAR]

Bry: I'm gonna go ask Herry if he wants to go to the gym with me.
Telly: To the gym?
Bry: Yeah. You know, the place where you go and exercise.
Telly: Oh, right!
Bry: You wanna come?
Telly: No thanks. I got enough exercise running away from that grouch-in-the-box!
Bry: Haha! Okay, Telly. See ya later!

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: *presses ear up to door*
Clifford: Hear anything man?
Gonzo: Shh! Wait... I hear the typing of fingers!
Camilla: Brawk?
Gonzo: *whispers* He... Stopped.
All: *silent*
*door flies open and Gonzo goes flying across the room*
Ryan and Gonzo: YAAAAAAAAHOO!!!!
Clifford: ...Well that's certainly a change of tone.
Ryan: SHE SAID YES!
Uncle Deadly: ...Say again?
Ryan: SHE SAID YES!
Clifford: Yeah, we heard. So did the rest of the Dorms.
Ryan: *squeezes Clifford, Uncle Deadly and Camilla into a hug* Oh I love you guys!
Gonzo: *climbs in from hole in the wall* What about me?
Ryan: ...Did you make that hole?
Gonzo: Indirectly, yes.
Ryan: ...I'll think about it.

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <knocks on Prawnie's door> Mazel tov, half!

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: LISA!! ...Why didn't you just use the hole? Oh wait, cause you're a half, you can't use whole... Um... Yeah, thanks!
Gonzo: Ryan, you're dating?! Aren't you married to Lisa?! What will the kids think?!

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: Oh chill, Gonz, there's only one kid, and he's not even mine. ...And besides, he's my brother, too. ...Er... Yes.
Rowlf: And I thought we Muppets were crazy.
Lisa: You are.
Rowlf: Compared to you?
Lisa: Don't ask.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Please don't ask. And don't tell my girl either...
Clifford: Your girl?
Ryan: *ahem*

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: OOH, gettin' poSESSive! <Giggles> <sings> So, put another log on the fire... <strolls away>

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Hey! Don't you stroll away from me Fran! I still haven't gotten my prime rib!!

[BEAR]

Ernie: (opens Ryan's door) She said "Yes"? Bert, she said "Yes"!
Bert: That's great. Umm... who's "she"?
Ernie: I dunno, but who cares! She said "Yes!" Woohoo!
Bert: Ernie, what did I tell you about minding your--
Ernie: (shaking Ryan's hand) Congratulations, Ryan!
Bert: Yeah...Congratulations. What am I doing here? I don't even know who "she" is or why I'm congratulating it. (to Lisa) Are you the "she"?
Ernie: Khekhekhe!!

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <Runs back and whacks Prawnie over the head with a frying pan>
Chef: YAGURL PAN DE PAN MINE!
Lisa: Yeah, whatever. <Hands Chef his pan and strolls away again> <sings> Then go out to the car, and change the tire...

[Katzi428]

sigh I'm thinking of quitting Fran's Fragrant Flowers,girls.
Prairie:What? Why?
Prairie...I've taken way too many sick days off since November. It's not fair to Fran for me to be a no-show.Sooner or later she'll have to fire me anyway.
Rosita:Kathy...you're being silly.Every day Fran asks how you are and says she misses you.
Really?
Rositacrossing her heart:Cross my heart.Please don't quit.
I'll call Fran in the morning and talk to her.
Prairie:Only if you want to.She's going to convince you to stay,I can tell you that much.
You think so?
Prairie:Yep...I think so.
Rosita:Me too.
Thanks for the pep talk,you two.:) I'm gonna head to bed.
Prairie:Need help?Wasn't your mom supposed to show up with that walker?
I got a call from my mom earlier.She said she'll be going to a different pharmacy that has them.The one that my sister went to first didn't have them. If you girls want to help me,it's up to you. Just hope I don't fall.
Rosita:OK Kath. Ready Prairie?
Prairie:All clear on this end. One...two..three...,and HEAVE!
they help me to my room
Thanks girls. Goodnight.
Prairie:If you need us in the middle of the night,let us know.
Gotcha.See you tomorrow! Hey....what's the commotion outside?
Rosita:It's Ryan!Did he tell you he was going to ask some girl out?
Yeah....oh wow!She must've said yes! Dang foot. I'll be in touch with him to congratulate him!:)

[Leyla]

<Jimmy bursts in abruptly>

Jimmy: Did ah hear someone infringin' on mah copyrights?<

<Leyla bolts in after him> Oh, excuse me guys. Congrats Prawnie... JIMMY! What are you doing!

Jimmy: Ahm protectin' mah personal properties, that's what.

Leyla: Shel Siverstein wrote that poem, not you! Now c'mon home now and I make dinner.

Jimmy: Well... will you cook me up some bacon and some beans?

Leyla: Yes...

Jimmy: Oh, great... and then could you go out to the car and change the tire?

Leyla: I guess so..

Jimmy: And wash my socks and change my old blue jeans?

Leyla: Save me...

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Gonzo, evasive manuever 81A!
Gonzo: Which 81A?
Ryan: The one where we save Leyla!
Gonzo: Oh yeah! *tackles Jimmy*
Ryan: RUN LEYLA!!

[BEAR]

(ooc: By the way, I just noticed a triple ziffle by me, Lisa, and Kathy! Don't think I've ever seen that before)

[Leyla]

<Jimmy, heedess of the fact that he is now on the floor covered by a Gonzo and a teenaged boy continues singing orders>

Leyla: Hmm... well, at least someone's willing to defend my honour. Hey Lisa, would you like to go out for popcorn and rice krispy squares while the boys settle this?

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: Oh, gladly! See ya, boys!

[BEAR]

Bert: But, Lisa! Are you the "she"?! (lowers brow) Of all the Dorm storylines today, I had to get dragged into this one.
Ernie: DOGPILE! (dives into the pile of everyone else tackling Jimmy, taking out Bert in the process)

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *wrastles Jimmy* That's right, I said wrastles!
Gonzo: Whoo! This is GREAT!
Clifford: Ten bucks says Ryan wimps out first.
Camilla: Brawk.

[Leyla]

<Lisa and Leyla are settled comfortable at Room 20's kitchen table, listening to the faint sounds of chaos around them.>

Leyla: Oh no, no, she forgave him for that little gaffe with Camilla. But I tell you, the fur... well... not fur...feather boas, maybe, are gonna fly when Piggy finds out what we did to her clothing. Is it always this wild in the Dorms?

[BEAR]

(HA! Another triple-ziffle!)

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *pins Jimmy* HA! Got 'im!
Uncle Deadly: I thought you got her?
Ryan: No, I- Well, yes, but... Nevermind.

[BEAR]

Bert: (who has been getting flung and squished) Hey, I just had my saddle shoes polished!

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *tumbles over Jimmy* Sorry Bert- PUT A LOG ON THIS FIRE!! -But it's my job as an other half!
Camilla: Brawk bawk. *waddles downstairs with Lisa and Leyla*

[The Count]

Honestly... Can't I leave you guys alone for a couple of hours?
*Whistles blow and everybody in the dogpile stops their cavorting, slowing down to almost stop-still non-motion.
The bodies are peeled off of each other, until Gonzo and Ryan are cleared off of the hillbilly heaped on the floor.

OK, that's 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct... Ball's in Ryan's court.
Now go post some fanfic or the penalty will be enforced from the mark of your curfew young man.

*Hears giggling coming from Room #20. Huh? Layla and Lisa? Cath give you gals permission to raid her room? Dunno if the diva pig will tolerate a couple of ushygushy fangirls invading her personal private space, even if you are fangirls of hers.
Oh well... It just gets crazy in here som etimes. Sent Beth a message, wonder what she thinks or if maybe I should talk to a few of the other scribes here.

Night all...

[BEAR]

Ernie: Bert?
Bert: (sigh) What!?
Ernie: I think you lost your nose, Bert. (holds up an orange foam ball) It was stuck to Gonzo's head.
Bert: Give me that!
Ernie: Here you go. (squishes the nose back on Bert's face) Ya know, you really should be careful. It's not good when your nose comes off so easily.
Bert: Grrr...
Ernie: Come on, Bert. Let's go back to our room. Boy, those guys sure know how to celebrate, huh!
Bert: (annoyed) Yeah, sure!

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *dusts self off* Okay warden, you win. Sorry Jimmy, no hard feelings?
Gonzo: Hard feet that's for sure...*rubs head*
Ryan: And... Uh, Ed... More fan-fic? Well, I drabbled a bit.

[Leyla]

<Leyla returns from answering a knock at the door>
Lisa: Who was it?
Leyla: Oh, it was Ed, just checking to make sure this wasn't an unauthorized invasion while Ru's away.
Lisa: Ah. Is it?
Leyla: <giggles> No, I'm roomie sitting. Someone's gotta keep Fozzie eating Kermit and Piggy PG.
Lisa: <skeptical> And you're the person she chose for this?
Leyla: I'm sure it was a rush decision. Besides... I have the robot equivalent of experience in this field.
Lisa: Ah. <they sit in companiable silence for awhile> Leyla?
Leyla: Lisa?
Lisa: Where ARE her roomies?
Leyla: <shrug> I dunno. I'm sure they're fine. What trouble could they possibly get up to?
Lisa: <stares>

[The Count]

Yeah, I saw. That's only good for a 1-yard gain though, you need another whole chapter of Trip to make good.
Considering a smidge of drabbling, either that or something else I sent to Beth. Might have to consult you about it too later though.
Night all, and whoever wants to do can do tonight's sponsors.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *skips through the halls*
*Miss Piggy is walking down the hall, with Kermit and Fozzie behind her lugging shopping bags*
Ryan: MISS PIGGY!
Piggy: Oh, Ryan! What a surprise dear.
Ryan: SHE SAID YES! *plants one on Piggy then skips off*
Piggy: *mouth agape* ...Ahh... He... AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! HIIIII-YAAAAH! *karate chops nothing*
Kermit: A little late there Piggy.
Piggy: *glares at Kermit* HI-YA! *karate chops him*
Fozzie: Ugh, I didn't order pork chops for dinner! Ahhh!
Piggy: Watch it bear!

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: ...did we miss something?
Boober: Around this place? ...Probably.
Betty Lou: Lemme check... *sticks head out the door* Well, its all quiet now. So I guess we did miss it.
Kim: Dang. I hate when we do that.

-Kim

[BEAR]

Hoots: (outside Kim's window) Hey, you guys could always present the letter and number of the day! I'll accompany you with a little music on my horn here!

[Erine81981]

(OCC: Sorry Bryan. I've been meaning to tell everyone that my parents computer is down becuase of the weather so I haven't been able to get on lately. So I try while I'm over at my sisters to do everything that I can. Just wanted to let everyone here know what's been happen.)

How was the gym last night?

Herry: Fine. I saw me a pretty little monster down there. And boy was she buff.

I bet. Me, FilFil and Maurice are going to the store. Wanna come?

Herry: Nah...I'll stay here. I need to catch up on some of those new Fan Fic Stories.

I understand. I was reading one about the fraggles. Pretty neat one. *put on coat*

Maurice: *pokes head in the door* Are you coming?

I was heading out the door.

Maurice: It sure is cold out.....*shuts door*

[Beauregard]

Bo: I wonder what the world is like outside this Dorm Room
Beau: Why?
Bo: *shrugs* Good point. It's just great in here.
Bobo: Yup. *eats icecream*
Bean: *appears in the doorway* Everyone! Come on outside and we'll play a game of cute baseball with pink fluffy balls!
Bo: It's nice in here.
Beau: Agreed.
Bobo: Yup. *eats icecream*

ka-THUNK!ka- THUNK!
Oh...isn't this great!:rolleyes:
Prairie:That's the new walker,Kath?
Uh huh.Something tells me after a couple of days you and Rosita will want to room with someone else.
Prairie:KATHY!You stop that!NOW!!:mad: Rosita and I are not going to move out just because you need to use a walker for a few weeks!
Prairie then switches to a calmer tone:Kath hugging me I'm sorry I yelled. Honest I am. It's just that you thinking that Rosita and I want to move out just because of the walker...well,that hurts! I can speak for Rosita and myself when I tell you that you're like a sister to the two of us!
I am?
Prairie: You sure are!We wouldn't trade you for any of the dormies here. Oh sure Bryan and his crew are fun when we stay with them. But Rosita,Gaffer and I alwayslook forward to when you come back from vacation or being sick at home.
Oh Prairie...thanks so much! I needed to hear that! hugging Prairie
Prairie:You're welcome. Now....how about I make us some mac and cheese for lunch?
Sounds delicious to me!:)

[redBoobergurl]

Cookie *coming into the room*: Dum de dum de dum, dum de dum *sees Wanda eating a sandwich* What you eating?
Wanda: It's a grilled cheese sandwich. It's really yummy
Cookie: Cheese! Cheese start with c.
Wanda: Yes it does Cookie. Would you like one? I can make these real easily
Cookie: You would make one for me?
Wanda: Sure! I don't mind!
Cookie: Ok! Cheese may not be cookie, but me like cheese
Wanda: Cool, let me just finish this before it gets too cold
Cookie: Ok *watches as Wanda eats her sandwich but does manage to wait patiently*
Wanda: I'm impressed Cookie, you waited for me to finish instead of trying to eat it yourself
Cookie: Me learning good manners living at dorms
Wanda: Well, after your sandwich I think we've probably got another special treat around here too
Cookie: Oh boy! Is it cookie?
Wanda: You'll just have to wait and see *goes to make sandwich*
Cookie: Me can hardly wait for special treat. Me wonder if it's big chocolate chip cookie or peanut butter cookie. Oh me getting so hungry! *starts pacing in the room* Me wonder if treat in the room. If me were cookie me wonder where me hide. Hmmmm. *starts to get impatient and tears apart the room looking for cookies, finally finds them and devours them* MMMMM, me love cookies!
*Wanda comes back with sandwich*
Wanda: Cookie Monster!
Cookie: Uh oh.
Wanda: What happened to you saying you've learned good manners at the dorms?
Cookie: Umm, me no say "learned" me say "learning" which means me still learning, me can't help myself. *grabs sandwich and devours it too*
Wanda: *Sigh* All right, help me clean up the room before Beth gets back
Cookie Monster: Urp! Scuse me.

(Bryan, Big Bird and Telly go downstairs to room 6)
Bry: (knocks on door) Kathy, are you there? It's me Bryan!
Big Bird: And Big Bird!
Telly: And Telly!

[The Count]

Well, it's Friday afternoon. The weekend has started and I'm looking forward to all the shows I usually watch. Wonder what Mom sent for dinner, it'll be hard to top those peanut butter pancakes from this morning, with toasted peanuts and sweet syrup. Mmm, I'm getting hungry thinking what may be for dinner tonight. Also need to talk to my best friend, some creative block stuff. If not, I may talk to some of my MC friends instead. Oh well, I'm homeward bound...

[BEAR]

Bry: (opening the door a bit) Kathy? Hi! Sorry, don't mean to barge in. We just wanted to see if you needed anything. We also brought you some brownies.
Telly: (sees the walker) Whooah...that's the weirdest looking pogostick I've ever seeeen!
Big Bird: Hehe! Oh, Telly, that's not a pogostick.
Telly: It's not?
Big Bird: No! It's a... umm... Gosh, I don't know what that is!
Bry: It's a walker, Big Bird!
Big Bird: A walker? But I don't see any feet. (leans down looking for feet on the walker)
Telly: Me neither.
Bry: No, no, no. Guys, listen. This thing is used to help Kathy walk around. She's injured and should not be puting a lot of weight on her foot, so she can't walk around very easily on her own right now. So until her foot is better, she uses the walker.
Big Bird: Oh, it's kinda like a cane!
Bry: That's right.
Telly: Cooool!

coming over to the door Hi guys! Sorry I took so long. As you can see, I have this walker,and it takes me a while to get places. Thanks for explaining,Bry;) I don't know how long I'll need to use it for, unfortunately. But I need to warn you guys.I don't quite have the hang of it yet. So if you see me coming by with this,watch your feet so they don't get crushed.
Mmmm...brownies! Thanks! I love brownies! And yes...if I need help,I'll let you guys know. Prairie and Rosita are doing a good job. I'll let them know if they need a break ,that you offered to help.Prairie and Rosita should be back in a bit.They went to get sandwiches for us.

Bry: Hey, Telly. You all ready for bed?
Telly: Almost. I can't find Freddy
Bry: Check under the bed.
Telly: Oh, yeah! He always falls down there. Thanks, Bryan.
Bry: You're welcome.
Big Bird: (comes inside from the nest) Hey, Bryan.
Bry: Hi, Big Bird. What are you doing up? Is your electric blanket warm enough for you?
Big Bird: Oh sure! My nest is as toasty as ever.
Bry: Good.
Big Bird: I was just thinking.
Bry: Oh? About what?
Big Bird: Kathy.
Bry: What about her?
Big Bird: Well...she didn't seem very happy about her walker.
Bry: Yeah, and I don't blame her.
Big Bird: But I don't understand. Aren't walkers supposed to help people.
Bry: Yes, but some people when they're injured or handicapped in some way don't like to use them.
Big Bird: But why?
Bry: Maybe because when people need walkers or canes or wheelchairs, it makes them feel old or helpless or sick, and a lot of people don't like to be seen that way. They don't like to draw that kind of attention. They like to be able to do things on their own and those things can get in the way and it's often frustrating. Just like we don't want to depend on others all the time either and Kathy often feels like she does.
Big Bird: But we don't mind helping. That's what friends are for!
Bry: Exactly! And the same goes for her walker.
Telly: Her walker is her friend?
Bry: Hehe. In a way, yes. It's helping her until her foot is healed enough to where she can walk on her own without it.
Telly: I remember when I fell off my pogostick and hurt my arm. I had to go to the hospital and they put my arm in a cast. I didn't like it at first, but then I learned that I had to wear it to make my arm better.
Big Bird: I just wish there was a way we could get her to like the walker more.
Telly: Well, when I had my cast, people signed it and drew pictures on it to make me feel better.
Big Bird: Telly, that's a brilliant idea!
Telly: What is?
Big Bird: Why don't we decorate Kathy's walker?
Bry: Like personalizing it?
Big Bird: Uh huh! We can get ribbons and bells...
Telly: And triangles?
Big Bird: All kinds of stuff! We could even get some of are other friends around here to donate things. Like Grover and Herry and Gonzo...
Telly: I'll bet we could even get Oscar to give up something.
Bry: That's a very clever idea and I'm sure Kathy would appreciate it. Just one problem...
Telly: What?
Bry: Well, it should be a surprise, right? So, how are we gonna get the walker away from Kathy without her noticing?
Telly: Good point.
Big Bird: I've got an idea!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Big Bird has gone to Oscar's can to get Slimey and they are now downstairs outside room 6)
Big Bird: (holding little Slimey the Worm in his hand) Okay, Slimey, here's the plan... You're little and your quiet, so we need you to crawl under the door to the inside of the room. Then when you're on the other side, climb up the door and unlock it. Then Telly is going to sneak in and get the walker from next to Kathy's bed. Got it?
Slimey: Okay.
Big Bird: Alright, little worm. Do your stuff.
(Big Bird sets Slimey on the floor and the worm does exactly what he was asked to. Once the door unlocks, it's Telly's cue to enter)
Big Bird: (whispering) Okay, Telly. You're on.
Telly: (wearing miners helmet and mask) What if I can't find it? What if it's so dark that I can't see anything and I trip on doll and totally ruin the whole operation?!
Big Bird: Telly, you'll be fine. That's why you're wearing that miners helmet. See, it's got a light on it.
Telly: Oh...
Big Bird: Telly, I'm right here. You can do this.
Telly: Oh alright. (Telly goes in the room taking very slow and soft steps so he doesn't wake anyone up. He hears a loud noise...) Gee, I'd never expect Prairie to snore like that.
Big Bird: (whispering from the door) Telly, the walker is right there.
Telly: I see it. (carefully picks it up and makes his way out the room with it and closes the door behind him) I did it!
Slimey: Way to go, Telly!
Big Bird: Great! Now we can take it upstairs and tomorrow we'll fix it all up!
Telly: I just thought of something. Isn't she going to notice it missing when she wakes up in the morning? What's she gonna do without her walker all day?
Big Bird: Oh...well...she's got Prairie and Rosita to help her out. Remember? That's what friends are for!
Telly: Oh yeah!
Big Bird: Come on!
(Big Bird and Telly take Slimey back to the trashcan before heading to room 29)

[BEAR]

Ernie: (voice-over) Muppet Dorms were brought to you by the letter C and by the number 3.
Bert: (voice-over) Ernie, I'm trying to sleep. Would you keep it down?
Ernie: Sorry, Bert. Goodnight.

[The Count]

*Awake in Room #1...
Hmmm... I don't know. I'm a bit worried about what Big Bird and Telly did. Usually, those two are model citizens, especially under Bryan's care. But to get Slimey as the means of breaking an entry into someone else's room? And then pilfering an important piece of equipment very much needed by one of that room's inhabitants? Yes, surprises are generally meant to be that, without knowledge of what's coming on the part of the surprisee... But sometimes surprises can be shared and informed in advance. Also, the idea of decorating her walker is a good one... Though Kathy might want to decorate it herself or say that others can decorate it, since after all it is the walker that she herself has for her use until whatsoever time she can go back and return it to the hospital or wherever she got it from. Besides, I don't think she feels miffed against the walker itself, but rather it's an accumulation of things.

Well, hopefully Bry will talk to those two and rectify the situation. It was a good idea, just that this kind of surprise should've been talked over with Kathy, or at least one of her roomies.

[BEAR]

Hoots: (overhearing room 1's inhabitant) Man, someone's got their strings tuned a little too tight. Eh, I'll take care of it... (gets the undecorated walker out of room 29 and puts it back in room 6) There.

[The Count]

Oh hey Hoots... Thanks, though I guess the music helped bring that walker downstairs. Sorry if it seemed a bit tight back there, I just worry for Kathy's sake... After all, that walker's pretty important to her foot healing up right. Almost as important as my cane or walking staff. But I know Big Bird and Telly meant well, so it's all good.
Take care and cap a few Z's before you have to open up Birdland tonight.

[Katzi428]

You know what I was thinking?
Rosita: What's that,amiga?
This walker would look pretty cool decorated.You know...streamers and stuff? A couple of sparkly heart stickers.
Prairie suddenly bursts out laughing!
Dumb idea Prairie?
Prairie:No...no...not at all! You see...I heard Bryan and his roomies talking last night and....um,never mind. I guess you'll find out later.
Find out what?
Prairie:Nothing...you'll be surprised.;)

[The Count]

Hmmm, I wonder if Beth and/or Christy got the messages I sent them about the little frighters. Guess all I can do is wait to hear back from them. If not, I might have to recur to some other sources, which wouldn't be a bad thing... But since I shared with them first, I'm kinda hopeful to find out what their thoughts/feedback is and if this has a chance of thriving this time.

Oh well... *Goes back to minding business absently watching some TV.

[redBoobergurl]

Ed? Were you trying to get in touch with me? I haven't gotten any messages...odd...

[The Count]

Hi Beth... Check e last eply I ent ou or Rowlf's Story, the ist ould e the e ottom. If ot, MK nd an end t ain.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: You what?
MN: That's right. I've quit my editor job and gone back to being strictly a reporter.
Storyteller: Well, the way you were staggering in here early Tuesday mornings last semester...and it's your decision, and I think you made the right one.
MN: Yeah...and I just felt like I didn't really belong in there.
Nora: So maybe you stand a chance of getting some decent sleep now.
MN: And no petty newsroom politics. Sure, sure, there will be some noses bent out of shape, but I think it will pass.
Storyteller: Like gallstones. Now, come on, I've got a pot of grubroot chowder on the stove. It'll be cold tonight.

[BEAR]

Telly: Where's Bryan?
Big Bird: He had work today, remember?
Telly: Oh yeah. I hope he gets home soon. I'm starving.
Bry: (enters) I'm home! There you two are! I heard that you guys stuck downstairs last night and broke into Kathy's room to take her walker.
Telly: Yeah, we did.
Bry: You know better than that. I mean I know you had the idea, but I didn't realize you'd do it that way.
Big Bird: We were just trying to surprise Kathy with a nicely decorated walker to make her happy! It would have been great too if Ed hadn't found out.
Telly: Yeah, he busted us big time!
Bry: So where is it right now?
Big Bird: Back downstairs with Kathy.
Telly: Undecorated and plain as ever.
Bry: Sorry, guys.
Big Bird: We just wanted to cheer her up! Why does Ed have to get mad at us?
Bry: Hey, I understand. I don't think Ed was trying to be mean, but it's not right to break into someone else's private room. Plus, it's important Kathy has her walker.
Big Bird: We didn't know we were doing anything wrong.
Bry: I know. Your intentions were good. Tell ya what, maybe you can still do it, but let Prairie or Rosita know next time.
Big Bird: Okay.
Telly: Okay.
Bry: Now, come on. Let's get dinner. I'm starving!
Telly: Me too!

phone rings in Room 6
Rosita:Hello?Room 6!Oh...um...hi Mama!casting a sneaky look at me I'm going to go in the other room so I can talk.Hang on,por favor
closing the door to her roomSorry for calling you "Mama" Bryan...but Kathy was sitting right there and I didn't want her knowing anything about you & the others going to decorate her walker.....yes,Prairie knows....OK...I'll give you a call when Kathy goes to bed. She'll be so happy and excited when you do this for her.:)....right.OK...Adios!*hanging up the phone and coming to watch TV with us.*
Rosita,how's your mother?
Rosita:My mother? Ohhhh...Mama's doing fine! She says hola and that she hopes your foot feels better soon.Prairie,can I talk to you,please?
Prairie follows Rosita into her room Rosita...was that really your mama?
Rosita:No..it was Bryan.He just was saying that he and the others still want to decorate Kathy's walker.I had to say it was my mother because Kathy was sitting right there.I told Bryan that after Kathy goes to bed I'll call him & let him know he can bring the walker upstairs.
Prairie:Oooh...good plan Rosita! Maybe I'll stay in Kathy's room with her tonight in case she needs help getting out of bed for anything.
Rosita:Buena idea Prairie! Now...let's go back outside to Kathy.
the girls come out of Rosita's room
OK..you 2 sneaks...what's going on?
Prairie:Huh? Oh nothing!Just girl talk!
And what am I;chopped liver?
Rosita:Kathy..just trust us,OK?I promise that tomorrow you'll be surprised!
OK...if you say so.I'm going to bed anyway.'Night girls.
Prairie: Hey Kath? I was thinking I could sleep on the cot next to your bed tonight in case you need help.
Well I have the walker. But OK...if you want to help me out tonight you can. You,Rosita?
Rosita:Maybe tomorrow night.Buenas noches!
Prairie and I disappear into my room.
Rosita*dialing the phone* Hi Bert it's Rosita. Tell Bryan that Kathy just went to bed and to come up in about a half hour.Thanks!

[BEAR]

(Bryan and Ernie show up at room 6's door) *knock knock*
Bry: Hi, Rosita. We're here for the walker. Don't worry. We'll have it back by morning.

[BEAR]

(the roomies of 29 are staring at Kathy's walker)
Bry: So what do you want to do with this?
Ernie: I have an idea!
Bry: Yes, Ernie?
Ernie: How about we each contribute one or two things to decorate it and then we pass it around to some of the other dormies to add stuff?
Bert: That's a neato idea, Ernie!
Ernie: Thank you, Bert.
Bry: Well, that means that it might take slightly longer to get the thing back to Kathy. I guess we can always just ask Rosita for extra time. It's too late to call. Hoots, would you leave a note at their window?
Hoots: Sure thing. Do you want it in the major or minor key?
Bry: Huh?
Hoots: Hehehe! Just kiddin'. I know what you mean. (flies off)
Telly: So what are we gonna put on it?
Big Bird: Everyone split up andget whatever you can find.
(all go to their respective rooms/nests and come back with things)
Bert: I can donate some of my bottlecaps. They'd look great glued down the sides of the legs here.
Bry: How about three on each side?
Bert: Okay.
Ernie: And I've got this great bike horn! (honks it) *Honk honk* Khekhekhe! We can put it on the front.
Bry: We'll always know she's comin'. Well, I've got some star stickers we can put around. How about you, Big Bird?
Big Bird: How about one of my feathers?
Bry: Good idea! Very personal touch. (gently pulls a beautiful big yellow feather from Big Bird's wing and fastens it on the walker with one of the star stickers)
Big Bird: Telly, did you find something to add to the walker?
Telly: I dunno...
Bry: Well, we don't have a lot of time. We have to pass it on to someone else.
Telly: Go ahead. I'll find something.
Bry: Okay. Maybe Beth and her roomies would like to contribute. I'll leave it with her first thing in the morning.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: So have they officially set you free yet?
MN: No, fearless leader's trying to coax me back. The thing is, the other editors seem perfectly capable of editing their own stuff...and they do a much better job of it than I do, and there are painfully long periods when I don't have anything to edit.
Storyteller: That's not good.
MN: And I have a meeting on the subject this afternoon. I'm not looking forward to it.
Nora: Hang in there.

[Katzi428]

Rositaopening door and finding a note:Hmmmm...reading noteThis is a nice idea!
Prairie:Morning Rosita! What's that note?
Rosita:A note from room 29. They're thinking of passing Kathy's walker around to different rooms to decorate it.
Prairie: Hey...great idea!But what's Kathy going to do without her walker meanwhile?
Rosita:The 2 of us will be here all day to help her.
hobbling out of my roomRosita and Prairie,my walker's missing!:eek:
Prairie:OK Kath...take it easy. It's all part of the surprise.You'll get it back later...I promise.Meanwhile,Rosita and I are here to help you.
OK...if you say so.
Prairie:Yep...I do.I'm gonna fix some French toast for us for breakfast.
Sounds delish!

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Hey guys look, Bryan sent down Kathy's walker
Red: Wait! Doesn't she need that to walk with?
Beth: Yes, but we're all helping to decorate it
Red: Oh! Cool!
Cookie: Me hang some cookies from it
Beth: Ok...hopefully that won't make her too hungry to look at them
Wanda: I'll hang some musical notes
Red: I've got some pretty red pebbles to glue to the sides
Beth: And I'll add some purple ones
*they work and then step back to admire their work*
Beth: Looks pretty good! I think I'll go leave it with Ryan and see if he and his roommates want to add anything

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *hauls in Kathy's walker* Oomph! Guys! We've got a project!
Gonzo: Ooh! A walker! Let me guess! We're going to ducktape the walker to my back, and shoot me out of the window while sticking my nose in a pencil sharpener!
Ryan: ...No.
Gonzo: Well what then?
Ryan: We get to decorate Kathy's walker for her!
Clifford: Sounds cool dude. What are we supposed to put on it?
Ryan: Whatever we want I suppose. Something that represents us.
Clifford: Nice. Well, what represents me?
Uncle Deadly: A pompous, over-bearing, cell phone addict?
Clifford: Man, if you weren't already dead...
Ryan: Easy guys, let's get this done, shall we?
Clifford: Sounds good to me. I'll hang some shades for her. This thing is already so bright, she may need 'em. Heh heh.
Camilla: Brawk, bagawk bruck byuck brawk!
Gonzo: Go easy on the feathers honey. Save some for molting season.
Uncle Deadly: I think I shall dangle some tissue paper ghosts from this walker. Give Kathy a little transparency as she walks. ...Er, hobbles.
Ryan: Very nice Uncle D. How bout you Gonzo?
Gonzo: A sampling of my mold collection, of course!
Ryan: ...Of course... I think I'll attatch a mini pamphlet on how to disinfect mold... Hmm, who should we give this thing to next?
Gonzo: Lisa?
Ryan: We'll never see it again.
Gonzo: Good point...
Clifford: Kyle?
Ryan: Sounds good. Gonzo, you feel like walking this to Kyle's room?
Gonzo: Sure thing!

[BEAR]

Ernie: (is heading out the door carrying a big box) Bye, Bert!
Bert: Ernie, where are you going with that box?
Ernie: Oh, well I heard that Ed has been missing a few letters. So, I've got the whole alphabet in this box for him to barrow. See you later, Bert!

[The Count]

Actually, it's more a case of missing numbers. Or rather, not knowing what to number. Sent messages to Beth, Christy and Prawny, haven't heard from them yet and that makes me doubt myself even more. If there was any forum friend I trusted enough and was a mature male, maybe I could talk to that person in earnest about my concerns... Eh, maybe tomorrow will bring some replies and maybe I can move forward from there.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: So how's it going, reporter girl?
MN: Well, I'm glad that I'm going to be getting some more sleep this semester...but in some small way I'm kinda going to miss dealing with the zombies each Monday night.
Storyteller: But you'll still be dealing with them, won't you? You're still on the staff, just not on the editorial board.
MN: That's true. I'll have lots more time to do newspaper stories now...and maybe work on a Muppet fanfic or two.
Nora: That sounds fun.

[ReneeLouvier]

Scooter: *coming in from sitting down in the main room* I heard they're all decorating Kathy's walker guys!

Sara: *looking up from a book she's reading.* Oh really? That's awesome!

Sadie: When are we getting our chance at it?

Scooter: Probably in awhile. They don't want her to be without it for too long, but we can add a few things.

Sara: How about just one or two things? Not that much ya know?

Sadie: Something with rainbows perhaps?

Sara: I've got an awesome idea! *She pulls out her clipboard, and sets to work on it.* We could make a small pouch to hang on the inside of it, to hold things!

Scooter: That is a really good idea...we could also attach a cup holder to it too! So she can also have a drink or something with her if she wanted it while she's walking around the dorms!

Sadie: We should find out who's got it tonight, or the next day and just take it over to them, while they're doing their thing. Kathy shouldn't go too long without something like that.

Sara & Scooter: Agreed.

[BEAR]

Ernie: (calls up Sara's room) Oh, hi, Scooter! It's Ernie. Listen, if you're interested in adding to Kathy's walker that'd be great! Last I heard it was with Kyle, but I'm not sure if it's made it's way past there. Maybe you can go over there and make your contributions. Talk to you later!

[Skeeter Muppet]

*Boober walks into Room #19 with a basket of laundry*
Kim: Hey, Boober. What's the word in the halls?
Boober: Seems they're passing around Kathy's walker for everyone in the dorms to decorate.
Gillis: Doesn't she need it to help her walk, though?
Kim: Well, she does have Rosita and Prairie to help her in the meantime. You guys interested in helping to decorate it?
Betty Lou: Sure!
Tosh: Yeah!
Gillis: Sounds like a good idea.
Boober: Sure, why not?
Kim: Great. You guys get to thinking about what you want to add, and I'll go see about getting it sent down our way.

Alright guys everyone ready to give a dectration to Kathy's chair?

Monsters: Ready!

Go!

Grover: I adorable Grover am going to give her one of my playing blocks. *sticks it to the chair*

Herry: Here is a picture of me and Kathy the last time me and the mosnters hung out together. *sticks it to the chair*

Maurice: I have a drawing that I drew just for Kathy. It's of me, her, Prairie and Rosita. *hangs it on the chair*

And you FilFil?

FilFil: I don't have anything to give her. :(

Why not some of your fur?

Grover: We could cut some off?

That would be great!

FilFil: Will it hurt?

Herry: Not at all. Have you ever had a fur cut?

FilFil: I still do.

Herry: That's what it's like.

FilFil: Ok. *cuts some fur off* There you go.

*sticks the fur on the chair* There we go. Now were done. Hold on. One more thing. *runs into the hallway and grabs something from Oscar's can* This should do it. *sticks a piece of Oscar's old holey blacket on her chair* Now it's finished. *sticks the chair out in the hallway* (hollars) If anyone needs it it's right here!

[BEAR]

Ernie: Hey, Kyle! (looks at walker) Wow! Look how colorful it looks, Bert!
Bert: Very festive! Hey, Ernie, why don't we take this down to Ed's room before giving it back to Kathy tonight.
Ernie: Great idea, old buddy!

MN: Yeah, there's one born every minute...and with the Internet and other forms of mass communication, it's practically an epidemic. Now then. We're going to toddle over to Kathy's place to add our own touches to her walker.
Storyteller: Think she'd object to a few stencils of the Solemn Mark of the Fraggle?
MN: I'm going to take my paints and do some abstract art on the front bars.
Nora: I've got some macrame, and some beads and things like that.
MN: I didn't know you did macrame.
Nora: Took it up a week or so ago. I'm in an art class, you know, and we've been doing this stuff.

Sorry about that guys. Got home last night tired and cold from a long day on campus. Had dinner and went straight to bed, got stuff to do this morning before heading out again. Hope Kathy liked all the great little surprises for her walker, if anybody wants to add something, they can go down to her room and do so, so long as they talk to one of her roomies first.

Good day everybody... Have fun.

Scooter: We got the cup holder. How does this thing attach?

Sadie: I think it grips two of the bars or something...it's quite big!

Sara: Yeah, it's big enough that a large 44oz mug can be placed in it. But it also gets smaller for something as small as a can of soda. It's really neat. Okay, now we gotta go take these to Kathy for her!

Scooter: Right!

*Sara heads down to Kathy's room to give her the last touches for her walker. Her own cane thumping on the floor softly, as she gets closer to her friends room just beside her.*

Sara: *To herself as she knocks on the door* Kinda funny, this is. We're both kinda lame for awhile, and we're right beside each other! *leans against the wall, resting her knee again.*

Ernie: Don't be silly, Bert. We have our first swim practice today.
Bert: Swim practice?
Ernie: Yep! I signed us up this morning.
Bert: But, Ernie...
Ernie: Bert, you can get in the pool wearing that. You'll get your socks wet. Khekhekhe! Go get your trunks on.
Bert: I don't want--
Bry: Bert, why don't you give it a try? It'd be nice to see you and Ernie do an activity together.
Bert: That's true. Okay, you talked me into it. I'll go change.
Ernie: Yay! (Rubber Duckie squeaks)

[redBoobergurl]

*At the pool*
Red: All right, I've got Robin the Frog back again, myself, and hey, Ernie AND Bert? Great to see you both!!! Don't be nervous about the water Bert, we'll teach you everything you need to know. Maybe you'd like the backstroke, it's gentler and easier than diving. Anyway, glad to see you. Wonder if anyone else is coming down too?

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Kathy really seems to like her walker's new decor job.
MN: Yeah, it looks like more than a piece of ambulatory hardware now.
Nora: Ambulatory hardware. Nice term. So how was your day?
MN: Went to the gym, helped deliver papers, went to my classes, started work on a long-term journalism class assignment.
Nora: Classes, walk in the park, shift at the bookstore, errands. The usual.
MN: Where's Storyteller?
Nora: I think she's gone to some reunion down in the Rock or something.

[Erine81981]

Grover: Hey Kyle.

Grover: Me, Herry, Maruice and FilFil are going down to the swimming pool.

Alright. Be back for dinner.

FilFil: I brought my floaties.

Maurice: Oh and Kyle fixing some spaghetti tonight.

Herry: He said if you wanted to come and eat with us ya'll all could. So who's ready for some swimming?

[BEAR]

Snuffy: (walking through the garden overhearing the monsters) Spaghetti? My favorite! I wonder if it would be alright with Kyle for me to stop by for a bite. I was going to have a sleepover with Bird, but I don't think he'll mind if I'm a little late. (goes to Kyle's window)

[Erine81981]

*sees Snuffy out in the yard, sticks head out window* Hey Snuffy. My Snuffleupagus brother! *does snuffle thing with his snuffle* Sure thing Snuffy. You can come eat. Tell Bryan the rest if they want some come and join us. Would you mind telling the monsters that it's ready?

[BEAR]

Snuffy: You got it, Kyle! (calls) Hey, everybody! Spaghetti is ready in Kyle's room! Hohoho!
(a swarm of people, even some who don't live in the dorms, come rushing inside for spaghetti)

[BEAR]

Telly: Hey, Bryan, they're having spaghetti over at Kyle's. You coming?
Bry: Set some aside for me, I'll be there a bit later.
Telly: Okay. Bye!

[Erine81981]

Grover: Thanks Kyle for letting everyone come and eat with us. *spins some spaghetti on his fork*

Herry: Kyle always makes the best! Slurp!

Maurice: I just can't get enought of it. *take a bite of some garlic bread* Mmmmmm..luv tish stuff. *glup*

Thanks everyone for coming and eating. We need to do more of this.

Anything Muppet Boy: Boy is this stuff is........AWSOME! *eats more*

FilFil: I've never seen so much people want to eat spaghetti. But I know my mother and father couldn't get enough of it. Urp! Excuse me.

Everyone starts to laugh

[The Count]

Another late nighter... Looking forward to some sleep. Oh, Count...
Count: Yes?
Spread the word, there'll be a double party this weekend.
Count: Who's?
Hilda, it was yesterday, and Ernie's on Sunday.
Count: Wery vell, the message vill get to all the dormies.
Thanks.

[BEAR]

Ernie: (eating spaghetti) Pretty good. Huh, Bert?
Bert: Oh yeah!
Ernie: What's that, Rubber Duckie?
Rubber Duckie: *squeak squeak squeak*
Ernie: Oh! You wanna try some?
Rubber Duckie: *squeak squeak*
Ernie: Okay! (sticks Rubber Duckie beak down in the bowl of noodles)
Rubber Duckie: *squeak squeak*
Ernie: Now, now, Rubber Duckie. No talking with your mouth full. Khekhekhe!

Big Bird: (entering Kyle's room with me) Anyone seen Snuffy? He was supposed to come over tonight.
Snuffy: (at window with a big bowl of spaghetti and spoon in snuffle) Hello, Bird!
Big Bird: Snuffy? What are you doing here?
Snuffy: Eating spaghetti, Bird.
Big Bird: Of course. You love spaghetti! I should have expected you to be here!
Snuffy: And Kyle makes the best too! You should try it.
Big Bird: Sure, why not!
Snuffy: Kyle, a bowl for the bird, if you please.
Bry: Yeah, I'll have some too if there's any left.

[Erine81981]

Here ya'll two go. *hands a bowl to Big Bird and one to Bryan* Enjoy. Still warm too. *still eating some*

[BEAR]

Bry: (putting a big fluffy blanket over Snuffy who is laying in the floor nest to Big Bird's nest) There you go all ready for bed.
Snuffy: Gee, thanks for letting me sleep over, Bryan.
Bry: Hey, no problem. You know you're always welcome around here. Well, goodnight, you two. (goes inside)
Big Bird: Goodnight, Bryan.
Snuffy: Goodnight. Goodnight, Bird.
Big Bird: 'Night, Snuff.
(after a few seconds...)
Snuffy: Umm...Bird?
Big Bird: Yeah, Snuffy?
Snuffy: I can't sleep.
Big Bird: You can't sleep?
Snuffy: (sigh) No...
Big Bird: Oh. Well, how about I tell you a story?
Snuffy: Okay.
Big Bird: Okay...(gets book from shelf by nest and reads it) "Once upon a time, the Muppet Dorms were brought to you by the number 3, and by the letter S, which starts words like 'sleep,' 'swim,' and 'spaghetti.' Muppet Dorms are also sponsored by the Muppet Central Forum. The end."
Snuffy: *Yawn* Good story. Thanks, Bird. Goodnight.
Big Bird: Goodnight, Snuffy.
(the two friends fall into a gentle sleep.)

[redBoobergurl]

Red: We had such a good turn out at the pool yesterday! I had Ernie and Bert and Robin and some of your old monster roommates Cookie!
Cookie: Me monster buddies? Me should come down too!
Red: You should Cookie, it will be fun
Cookie: Ok, me come to next practice
Red: Awesome!
Wanda: I am looking forward to watching, but I just don't like the water much
Red: That's ok
Beth: So, is everyone hungry for breakfast?
Cookie: Yeah!
Red: I am
Wanda: Me too
Beth: Then off to Everybody Eats we go!

[The Count]

And so another day begins here at the MC Dorms. Gonna be reading up for one of my classes today, it's my "off" day today. Still have erands to take care of, maybe I'll get to talk with that friend of mine later in the evening.

Oh well, have fun guys, nock if you need me.

[Erine81981]

*sits back watching Tv and eats leftover stakefingers*

Maurice: Hey Kyle.

Hey Maurice.

Maurice: What's you doin'?

Nothin'.

Maurice: Can I join yea?

Sure. *hands him a stakefinger*

Maurice: Thanks. *eats it*

FilFil: *yawns and streaches* Wonder what everyones doing?

Were in here FilFil.

Maurice: You slept really late this morning.

FilFil: Ya...wasn't really tired last night. So I stayed up and and listen to some music.

That's what I was hearing last night.

FilFil: Sorry. Did I keep you up?

Nah....i just thought I was hearing things.

FilFil: Any more stakefingers?

Some in the fridge.

FilFil: Thanks.

Maurice: Heat me up some too.

FilFil: Alright.

[Erine81981]

Grover: I am going on to lunch. Any of you ladies need anything? Alright then. See ya later. *see's Herry* Hey Herry.

Herry: Hey Grover. Where are you going?

Grover: Going on to lunch. Wanna come?

Herry: Can't. I have to wait til the other cartpusher gets back.

Grover: Alright. See you later.

Herry: Ok.

[Erine81981]

(sorry bout that)

[BEAR]

Bry: Gosh, it's been so quiet around the Dorms all day.
Ernie: That's one.
Bert: I find it quaint.
Ernie: That's two.
Bry: Well, atleast you got to spend some nice quality time reading your new book.
Ernie: Three!
Bert: Ah yes! The Quest of the Quaker Quail. It's quite a good read.
Ernie: Four, five, six and seven!!
Bert: Ernie, what are you doing?!
Ernie: What am I doing, Bert?
Bert: That was my question.
Ernie: Eight. I am counting how many times I hear a "Q" word, Bert.
Bert: Oh...
Ernie: No, "Q".
Bert: I see.
Ernie: "Q".
Bert: OKAY!
Ernie: "Q"!
Bert: I give up. (To me) You talk to him. I quit.
Ernie: Nine.
Bry: Ernie, why?
Ernie: "Q".
Bry: No, Ernie. I mean, why are you counting "Q" words?
Ernie: Why didn't you say so? Khekhekhe! I am counting "Q" words because "Q" is the letter of the day! See, so far I've heard "quiet," "quaint," "quality," "quest," "Quaker," "quail," "quite," "question," and "quit." And all those words begin with the letter Q.
Bry: Uh huh.
Ernie: And once I've counted as many words as I can, that will be the number of the day! So far, I have nine.
Bry: Cute.
Ernie: No, no. "Cute" starts with the letter C, but I can see where you might get confused.
Bry: (sarcastically) Right. Well, thanks for the correction. Have fun. If you don't mind, I'm going to bed. (goes to bed)
Bert: Yeah, I'm going to bed too. This is all making me queazy. (goes to bed)
Ernie: "Queazy." That's ten! Ten "Q" words! Khekhekhe!
(a loud clap of thunder and lightning outside the window)
Ernie: (puzzled by what just happened) Hmm...queer.

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: I was gonna go swimming today...geez...*grumbling a bit* I'm just destined to live with pain, arn't I? *ranting to no one in particular while halfway cross-legged on her bed. Her right leg stretched out because of her knee, and her left leg crossed so she can look at her ankle.*

Sadie: What do you mean? *curled up on the small couch, reading a novel.*

Sara: I was sleeping in yesterday, and apperently something in this world didn't want me to sleep past nine! *hefts up her left ankle, showing two small red marks.*

Scooters: Looks kinda like you got bit by a snake...

Sara: No...A NEEDLE! Eye first no less! It was apperently sticking in my mattress left over from when I was repairing something, and it was stuck fast, so it didn't go farther into the mattress when my ankle came crashing down upon it!

Sadie: Oh, that's horrible! That must've not felt good, huh?

Sara: No. I almost had to go get the pliers to get it out! And it just really hurts...and I have no health insurance, so I can't just go to the doctor! *sighs* Oh well. *grabs an ace bandage, wraps it around her ankle, and decides to use her cane on the left side today.*

Scooter: At least you've already got a cane. That's something good.

Sara: Yeah. I'mma go limp down to the pool. I had already decided I'd do some swimming today, maybe some exercises or something. Keep myself limber, at least as much as his possible. *has her swimsuit on, a flower black with pink flowers onepiece.*

Scooter: Mind if I join ya? *is rummaging around for his trunks, and finds them; green with black racing stripes down the sides.* Let me change really quick, and I'll help ya down there!

Sara: Scoot, ya don't have too...*sees this look of 'no questions asked, I'll help you' on his face* Alright.

Scooter: Good. *goes into their small bathroom to change, and comes out with a Muppets beach towel over his shoulders* Ready to go? *extends his arm like a gentlemen*

Sara: *blushes immediately* Oh, yes. *giggles* Come on. Maybe Red'll join us? I don't know, but let's just get going.

[Erine81981]

Lunch is ready!

Herry: What is our specialty?

Mac and Cheese with fried fries.

Grover: Oh boy oh boy. My favorite.

Herry: Mine too. *starts digging in*

Dig i.....never mind.

FilFil: Hey Kyle?

Yes FilFil.

FilFil: What's it like around the hoildays?

Fun.

Maurice: Really fun. We have games all year round.

Why of just last year for Christmas we all did the secert santa.

FilFil: What's that?

Grover: You pick a person, monster or bird or whoever and buy them a present.

FilFil: How do you know who your getting it for? *eats a fry*

Herry: Its like this. You then tell whoever that is taking names so they'll know who's got who and you won't mess anything up.

FilFil: I see. That sounds nice. I can't wait.

*looks at the camrea* It's going to be a long year.

PETER: It's Friday Night

ZOE: What should We Do

LITTLE BIRD: What should we do

BABY BEAR: Hmmm

PETER: I know

ZOE: What is it Peter?

PETER: Why don't we go swimming and then curl up to a movie

LITTLE BIRD Good Idea, Petey!!

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *bangs head against notebook*
Clifford: Rough day Ry?
Ryan: Yeah, and it's only noon.
Clifford: It'll be okay dude, it always is.
Ryan: Thanks Cliff. Now if only I didn't have such mondo writer's block...
Clifford: Well, you're writin' in here aren't ya?
Ryan: ...Cliff, why don't you go pick up some lunch.
Clifford: But I'm not hun-
Ryan: Just go. I've gotta finish writing.
Clifford: Sheesh, who stuck a beehive down your jeans?

[Erine81981]

Herry: Those brothers were really cool. Alex looked to be a kid that I wouldn't mind working out with.

Maurice: It was a really nice tv movie.

I can't wait for the new seires next saturday.

Oscar: *pops up* I thought it was going to about naked brothers. What was that about?

Grover: That was only the name of the band, grouchie.

Oscar: Well I hated it!

Figures.

Oscar: *rushes off*

FilFil: I really thought that Nat kid was really cute.

Grover: As cute as me?

As cute as you Grover. *hugs him* Next satuday well watch a new Neds and a the new series of the Naked Brother's Band.

Monsters: Woooooooooooo!!

[The Count]

Hmmm, been pretty quiet here lately. Well, that's gonna change!
Count: Something planned for today?
Yes, it's a major birthday today!
Count: Whose?
Well... We're celebrating Hilda's birthday, which was this last Wednesday, on the 24th.
Count: Ah... A fellow friend from th Old Country.
Which country is that by the way?
Count: The old one...
Moving on... Ernie's birthday is today.
Count: Bryan vill be happy to hear that, and maybe he'll drop by later to help us celebrate.
Yes... But that's not the biggest news, there's news you won't believe.
Count: Do tell, do tell!
Today's our fair own's birthday as well!!!

Count: You mean...
That's fright, Hensonville, and the Muppet Central operating corporation are nine years old today. It's a real testament to Mayor Chapman and Dean Chapman's work that this place has been standing here for so long.
Count: That's three, three triumphant birthdays!
*Thunder and lightning can be heard and seen outside.

Yes, a major party will have to be held today for everyone involved. My hopes are that as many of our freiends from here in the dorms and elsewhere from this quaint city will come and join in the fun later today.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Whoo! It's MC's Birthday!!
Gonzo: Whoopie! This is gonna be a great day! Haha!
Ryan: You're telling me! C'mon, let's go start up some of the festivities, shall we?
Gonzo: I'd be insulted if we didn't.
Clifford: Will you two shut up?! It's way too early for this!!
Ryan: Party pooper! C'mon Gonzo!
Gonzo: WHOO!

[The Count]

And her I thought that little prawn was excited at the thought of getting a present for his wardrobe mistress. Oh well...

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *spies Ed* Oh, but I am Ed! But secretly of course... C'mon Gonz, we've got some shopping to do!

[The Count]

OK... Just be sure not to let Gonzo do all the food shopping alone again.

Man, that was the weirdest Iron Chef America episode I've ever seen. It was like as if Gonzo and Bunsen and Beaker were all on one kitchen team, challenging a guy similar to the Swedish hef but schooled in Japanese culinary cultures instead of that of the Nordic nationality.

[Erine81981]

Alright guys. We have to get things ready for tonight's parties.

Herry: Ok. Me and FilFil are going to go get some of the old decrations from the basements.

Maurice: How about I go get some of stuff from the HensonVille Store?

That would be grand Maurice. How about you and Grover go.

FilFil: He's still at work.

Oh yea. I forgot. Go see if Bryan needs anything you and the others can go.

Maurice: Ok. *runs over to Bryan's room*

I'll start by cleaning around the room as well outside in the hallway.

Maurice: Hey Bryan. Kyle wanted to know if you need anything from the store? I thought if you did me and whoever wnated to go could come along.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

MN: Wow...this site's been up for nine years?
Storyteller: Yeah, tempus fugit. And around here, the tempus really does fugit.
Nora: Can we go to the party? Please?
MN: Oh, sure. It was a rough week last week.
Storyteller: Yes...going for a long period of time without a party isn't good for your health.
MN: Maybe I'll whip up a batch of brownies for the occasion. The kind with the caramel sauce swirled in.
Nora: (swoon) I think I have time to throw together some party mix. (grabs box of cereal, chocolate chips and other necessary edibles)
Storyteller: You do that, and I'll bring a pan of radish bars.
MN: Sounds great, but do keep them away from Gobo. Won't do to set off his allergies, don't ya know.

[The Count]

Tempus Fuget? He's here? Sorry, that's the name of a Portugese forum friend on another forum. Well, not his real name, his screen name.

But there's better things to look forward to. OK, we got the burgers and short ribs fired up thanks to Prawny's interrogation work.
Count: Don't ou mean his mastery of the grills?
No, the grill usually makes him spill, info that is, about his other persona...

We've got some hot veggie platters with sesame paste dipping suce from House of the Rising Dim Sum, nine-layer salad and nine-layer salsa (had to add olives and peppers to the salad, and a layer of red pepper spiked catsup along with some garlic enfused sour cream to the salsa), and I think Erin'll be bringing some desserts.
Count: Ah-ha! I love it, the place is dressed to the nines!
The camera pans back to reveal a pattern of neon 9's painted in a sort of glowing computer rainbow splash on the backwalls of the party hall.

[BEAR]

Bry: Has Ed already started setting up for the party?
Big Bird: Yep. And Ryan and Gonzo started up the grill. Ryan's allowed to do that because he's a grown-up.
Bry: Hey, just because he has a new girlfriend and knows how to drive a car doesn't automatically make him a grown-up.
Big Bird: Okay. Oh, and Maurice asked if we needed anything from the store. I told him we didn't need anything because you already went to Mr. Looper's Store.
Bry: Good good. And where's the birthday boy?
Bert: (enters) Still taking his bath.
Ernie: (heard singing the "Rubber Duckie" tune loudly from the bathroom) LA LA LA LA LA BA DA DEE DUM DAH DOO...
Telly: He's been in there all day!
Bry: Now that's how you spend a birthday! Doing what you love most. Come on! Let's go see if Ed needs help.

[Erine81981]

Grover: I am home!

Herry: Hey Grover. We're getting ready for our birthday here.

Grover: Who is?

Maurice: The dorms. Ernie's! And Hilda's too.

Grover: Oh yea. I almost forgot about that.

FilFil: This is my first time here for our the celebration for the dorms.

Grover: You will love it.

*walks into the hallway* Hit it!

*music starts up*

FilFil: I think I do?

Alright now you go!

FilFil: Clap your hands five times *everyone claps their hands*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(oven timer beeps)
MN: Brownies are up. (opens oven door, sending drool-inducing scent through kitchen)
Nora: Oh, man, those are going to go quickly.
Storyteller: Coming through with the radish bars.
MN: How long will those need?
Storyteller: About ten, twenty minutes. (pops them into oven after MN removes brownies) How's the mix coming, Nora?
Nora: I made two kinds. There's the sweet kind, with the chocolate and peanut butter and powdered sugar, and then there's the savory kind, with the soy sauce and a whole bunch of hot peppers.
MN: Whoa, wait a minute, what kind of hot peppers?
Nora: Oh, the kind from...uh, the kind from the...uh...canister marked "Tenochtitlan Bonfire...eat at your own risk." (gulps)
MN: Oh man, those are the super-hots. Those things'll fry your mouth and half your neurons. Pull them out. (Nora starts to do so, with some difficulty)
Storyteller: And we'll all be running around like the Fraggles that ate from the Tooth Tower...Erin, why on earth do you keep those around?
MN: Because there's a nest of miniature fire dragons in one of the trees outside, and they're awfully fond of these. Keeps their flame glands nourished.
Nora: (picks last pepper out of party mix) Got the last one.

[The Count]

Actually Herry... The dorms' birthday isn't until the first weekend or thereabouts in September. Today's the town's birthday.

OK, the guests should be arriving soon. Count, be sure to usher them all in, esecially Ernie and Hilda. Got to finish these fudge spiders, oh, and tell Bryan he's in charge until I get back.
Leaves party hall to go attach the chocolate rod legs to squared fudge brownie spiders, and also gets a punch bowl filled wth Caribbean Cooler punch for all to drink, helped by a couple of bats who airlift the drinking fontain out to the festive goings-on.

[Erine81981]

Herry: Guess I should of said the town of Hensonville is today's birthday. Or is it the other way around? I don't know. I can't help it!

Grover: *pats Herry on the back* It is alright Herry. Everyone says other things and mean the other thing.

Your really confusing me.

Grover: I hear that I do that to alot of others. Oh well. Come on everybodieeeee!!! *runs to the common room*

[The Count]

Count: Don't vorry Herry my friend. We know what you mean, it's the town's birthday... Along vith the birthday of the Muppet Central organization vhich funded this fair town.
*Coming back in: And just what is it you can't help? Cause if you ask me, you're pretty helpful in your own way. So come on and cheer up, here's a bowl of chips and some nine-layer salsa for you and the monsters to enjoy. Now let's get some music and wish our bathday boy and witching wardrobe woman a happy birthday!

[BEAR]

(getting out of the bath tub...)
Ernie: What a great birthday this has been! Thanks for spending it with me, Rubber Duckie!
Rubber Duckie: *Squeak squeak*
Ernie: Hey, I wonder if there's a party for me tonight. Do ya think so?
Rubber Duckie: *Squeak squeak squeak*
Ernie: Let's go see, huh?
Rubber Duckie: *Squeak squeak squeak squeak*
Ernie: Oh, you're right, Rubber Duckie. I should dry off first so I don't drip water all over the hallway carpet. Okay...(takes his fluffy towel and dries himself all off) There. All dry! Ready to go find the party?
Rubber Duckie: *Squeak squeak squeak*!
Ernie: Oh. Khekhekhekhe! Right again. If there is a party, I can't go in a towel. You're such a smart duckie. I'll get dressed and then we'll go to the party. (goes to room 29 to get ready)

[BEAR]

Ernie: Hey, Rubber Duckie. Wouldn't it be fun to go to the party in disguise and see if they recognize me? Oh, I've got a great costume! It'll sure give ol' Bert a surprise. (Ernie puts on an old cowboy costume with a ten-gallon hat and a big bushy black false mustache and an eye patch over the right eye.) This'll be great! Khekhekhe! (walks into party room)

[BEAR]

Bry: Where's Ernie?
Big Bird: Yeah, he's missing his own party!
Hoots: And what a hot party it is too! The music's thumpin', the monsters dancin'...
Bry: Like everyday in Kyle's room.

[Erine81981]

Herry: Thank you Count. *grabs the chips off the table* This is good. Who made it? *walks with The Count*

*gathers up some dormies for a musical treat for Ernie and Hilda* Alright guys. You know what to do. *starts to conduct*

(intermental of "Honker Duckie Dinger Jamboree" is heard)

Alrighty guys. I have all of these sounds I would like ya'll to make so here are some of the stuff. *throws them to people he want's making them* Here we go. I'll point to you when I want the sound made. Hit it off guys!

(music continues)

Me: Come on everybody
To a street called Sesame
There's something very silly
That we'd like you all to see
It's the latest, it's the greatest
It's the only place to be
It's the Honker Duckie Dinger Jamboree

Ed! Count! Bryan! Big Bird! *points to them*

Ed: *Honks! Honk!*

Bryan: *Squeeze! Squeeze!*

The Count: *Honk! Honk!*

Big Bird: *Ding!*

Me: Take a chance and join us
And I know that you'll agree
Our show may not be fancy
But it's noisy and its free
It's got honks, it's got squeaks, it's got dings, and it's got me
It's the Honker Duckie Dinger Jamboree
The Honker Duckie Dinger Jamboree
(Beth! Red! Bert! Oscar!) *points to them*

Beth: *Honk! Honk!*

Red: *Squeeze! Squeeze!*

Bert: *Honk! Honk!*

Oscar: *Ding!* Boy do I hate this.
Me: Play it boys!

Beth, Red, Bert, Ed, Count, Bryan, Oscar and Big Bird all play a little diddy of Honker Duckie Dinger Jamboree with the sounds

Hilda! Hoots! Ryan! Clifford! *points to them*

Hilda: *Honk! Honk!*

Disguised Ernie: Oh, boy. They're playing the Jamboree song. I love it.
Bert: That sure was fun. I wish Ernie was here to enjoy it.
Disguised Ernie: (strolls over to Bert and speaks in bad cowboy voice) Say there, pardner. Nice party.
Bert: Oh, thanks.
Ernie: And I love the nines. That must be the number of the day.
Bert: Yeah. Hey, how do you know about the number of the day? I've never seen you around here before.
Ernie: Everyone knows about the number of the day, Greenhorn! It's universal! Who's the party for?
Bert: My best friend, Ernie. It's his birthday and he should be here.
Ernie: Oh? Where is he?
Bert: I don't know. He's probably still up taking his bath.
Telly: Oh this is so sad! What if Ernie's been sitting in hot bath water for so long that he's gotten all shrivelly and slipped down the drain!!! Someone call a plumber!! (grabs Disguised Ernie by the collar and shakes him knocking off the cowboy hat) We've got to save him!!!!
Bry: Telly, I'm sure Ernie hasn't slipped down the drain. But...(sees the cowboy) Hey, who are you, anyway? You look familiar.
Ernie: Me? I'm uuh...Barry. Dirty Barry.
Telly: Dirty Barry? I love Dirty Barry!
Big Bird: My Granny Bird always told me to wash my berries before I eat them. It's healthier.
Telly: No, Big Bird! Dirty Barry like in one of the greatest westerns of all time!(to Ernie) Are you really him?
Ernie: Umm... you can say that.
Telly: Oh wow!
Ernie: Yeah...I saw this nice place and thought about moving in.
Telly: That would be sooo cooool!!
Bry: Wait a second, Dirty Barry...you don't look so dirty to me. And...*sniff sniff* is that strawberry bubble bath I smell?
Ernie: Uh...no, I uh...ate some strawberry griddle cakes for breakfast.
Bry: Ah...pretty late breakfast, dontcha think?
Big Bird: And you've got black shaggy hair like Ernie!
Ernie: (trying to stifle a laugh) Khekhekhe!
Bert: Ah ha!! There's only one person who has that laugh! Ernie!!
Bry: (tearing off fake mustache) Nice try, buddy!
Ernie: You found me!
Big Bird: (singing) It's Ernie!
Ernie: It's me!
Big Bird: We'd know you anywhere.
That "khekhekhe" when you laugh
That Ernie shirt and hair.
The squeaking of your duckie tells us you're the one.
We found him, we found him la la la la la
All: Happy birthday to Ernie, our chum!

Ernie: Sorry for tricking you, Bert. I was just having fun.
Bert: It's okay, Ernie.
Ernie: It is?
Bert: Sure. It's your birthday. You're supposed to have fun!
Ernie: Aww thanks, Bert. (puts arm around his buddy's shoulders) Khekhekhe!
Bert: (laughing) Eh-eh-eh-eh!

(Everyone at the Dorms are still celebrating into the night and doing "De Rubber Duck" along with other fun dances)
Big Bird (voice-over): Muppet Dorms were brought to you today by the letters M, C, and by the number 9. Goodnight!

[The Count]

Hmmm, wonder why Hilda couldn't make it. Oh well, hope the guests of honor like their presents.

The bats leave a package at the doorstep of Room #29, the card reads Happy Birthday to Ernie! and contains a disguise kit with hats and beards and some other little clothing accessory attachments.
Meanwhile, another package is dropped off at Room #18's doorstep with a card that reads appy Birthday to Hilda, showing an Eastern European black rose on the cover, along with a package that envelops a knitten dusky gray shawl and a few gypsy good or bad luck charms for her to clip on to the shawl.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Sorry I missed the party guys, was it fun?
Red: Of course! Parties are always fun
Beth: Did Ernie like the bubble bath we got him?
Cookie: Me think so, he like baths
Beth: And did Hilda like the pearl necklace?
Wanda: She never came so we just left it outside her door
Beth: Sounds good. I've just been so busy with my show at church I just haven't had much time to hang out here

That would be a wonderful idea Maurice. We can also let everyone sign it too. I'll go get some of that paper in the basement of the dorms. Hope Ed don't mind. Be back.

Herry: I'm going to draw her a picture of me holding my weights.

FilFil: I'm doing a drawing of me dancing the night away. Since I love to dance.

A brief shiver is felt down my spine. Huh? Did you feel that?
Count: Vhat?
For a moment there... Thought Christy, you know, my cyber sister, was online and watching us from her room.
Count: Is that possible?
Dunno... I've learned that nothing's impossible, just improbable. Eh, maybe it was just my nerves. Although...
Count: So vhat's new?
Eh, same old same old. So, you have any suggestions for #4?
Count: Vell, there's alvays that creepy little ki vith the glasses... You know, ol' 4-Eyes, though it's not really a total of four eyes he has..
Hmmm, I'll take it under consideration. Maybe the tree little haunting helpers I contacted can reply with their suggestions on what manner of ghoul or spook can take up the #4 spot in our first batch of counting castle creeps.

Ernie: (in swim trunks) Hey, I hear there's a lemon pudding swimming pool in the Prawncracker's room. Anyone wanna come?
Bert: Is there an oatmeal jacuzzi too? (laughs) Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh!
Ernie: Hmm...I dunno.
Bert: No thanks, Ernie. I'm going to bed. Goodnight! (goes to bed)
Ernie: Suit yourself. Come on, Rubber Duckie, let's go practice our high dive!
(RD: *squeak squeak*)
Ernie: Khekhekhe! (runs off)
Telly: I'll be right behind ya, Ernie! I just have to get my snorkle-mask. You coming, Bryan?
Bry: No sweets for me I'm afraid.
(The others all gasp with surprise)
Rosita: But, Bryan, you've always had a sweet tooth.
Bry: Exactly. That's why the dentist found a cavity last week. I need to go in for a filling tomorrow morning.
Prairie: Oh, dear. I'm so sorry, Bryan. First Kathy and now you?
Telly: Oh no! Now who are they going to stay with?!
Bry: Who?
Telly: Prairie and Rosita! Places are running out, soon they'll be homeless!!
Bry: No, Telly, that's silly! Rosita and Prairie are staying here. I'm not going anywhere. It's just a small filling. Nothing compared to what Kathy is going through. I am nervous about it hurting though.
Prairie: I'm sure everything will be fine.
Rosita: Si, no problemo! And don't worry. We'll be here if you need anything.
Bry: I know. You always are and I appreciate it.
Rosita: Group hug?
Bry: You got it!
(Me, Telly, Prairie and Rosita hug while Gaffer jumps up on my lap to get in on it and we laugh)

(While a bunch of the dormies are having fun in the pudding pool, we here Prairie in voice-over)
Muppet Dorms were brought to you today by the letters K, P, and by the number 9.

Bo: What are YOU doing?
Bean: I was...creeping along with these marshmellows.
Bo: I was creeping after you to see what you were doing.
Bean: Typical...

Beth: I guess we missed out on the lemon pudding pool last night
Red: What are you talking about? I was there, I love swimming
Beth: Even in pudding?
Red: Sure! It was great!
Beth: Makes sense I suppose
Cookie: Me did not go because me did not want to eat it and ruin the fun
Beth: Good for you Cookie Monster. Hey, how about Chocolate Chip pancakes since for breakfast since you were so good?
Cookie: Chocolate chippy! Oh boy!
Wanda: So easy to please, must be nice

Prairie:That's fine....you still have all of us to take care of you.I'll let Rosita know that you're backand she can come back with Gaffer.
Good idea.

[Erine81981]

Herry: Kathy's back. Are we done with the poster?

FilFil: Last time I remember we didn't get to color it.

Herry: Then let's get after it!

FilFil: I'll get the paints and markers.

Herry: We might have to help Grover's drawing a bit since he's at work.

Maurice: I'll work on it. *get some crayons and starts coloring his and Grover's drawing*

The monsters all work on a signed poster for Kathy return

MN: Finally, another week gone.
Storyteller: Erin...
MN: Yes, Storyteller?
Storyteller: You promised you would take it easier this semester, and for what?
MN: I might have promised that I would take it easier, but my professors and editors sure as heck didn't.
Nora: She's got a point, you know.
Storyteller: (mutter mutter) Since you're so good at accepting assignments, I'll give you one: relax over the weekend, and maybe work on a work of fiction or something.
MN: I'll see what I can do.
Storyteller: That's right. No excuses.

[The Count]

Been reading through Kermie's Girl, have to leave it after the first three pages. Will go bak and see if I can find the review of Pepe's act. In the meantime, I'm happy with the little haunters lined up, not sure when they'll debut since I have to read for classes this weekend, but I am happy with where it's at for now. Gonna raid the fridge for a little pre-night snack and then it's off to bed. Night Count.
Count: Good night. *Promptly falls asleep in his own bat-sprawled bedclothes.

[BEAR]

Bry: Aah it's so nice to be able to talk normally again.
Big Bird: You can talk!
Bry: Yeah. Well, the numbness wore off a while ago, as well as the pain.
Big Bird: Oh good.
Bry: Where are the girls?
Big Bird: Oh, Kathy's back so Prairie and Rosita went back to their room downstairs.
Bry: Oh good. I'm glad she's back. Say, shouldn't you be asleep? It's late.
Big Bird: Oh, you're right. Goodnight, Bryan!
Bry: Goodnight.
Big Bird: (goes out to his nest and finds Gaffer the Cat curled up in a blanket in the nest.) Gaffer, didn't you hear? Kathy's back!
Gaffer: (perks up) Meow! (hops out of the nest and trots off downstairs)
Big Bird: (steps into nest and gets comfortable, and then drifts off to sleep)
Bert: (voice-over) Muppet Dorms were sponsored today by the letter D and by the number 1. Muppet Dorms is a production of the Muppet Central Forum. Goodnight.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Ah, lots of medical incidents around here; Kathy's back and Bryan's novocaine dose has worn off and...Kathy's back??
MN: I could have sworn I heard someone hobbling into room 6.
Storyteller: Well what are you waiting for? Where's that bread pudding you were going to make for her?
MN: Fresh batch cooling on the stove as we speak.
Nora: Oh, man, the tea, where's the tea...oh, here. And here's the hot chocolate and the oatmeal Ed and the Count sent.
Storyteller: And I've got some new moss packs and another jar of rockweed bisque, so let's take this all over.

(group takes pudding, lavender-mint tea, hot chocolate, oatmeal, rockweed bisque and moss packs over to room 6)

MN: Kathy? Oh, Kathy, we've got some gifts to soothe those with aching feet and recently extracted teeth. We brought some stuff over a few days ago but Bryan said you weren't back, so we held it.
Storyteller: And like I said, next time you've got a sore tooth, I can always call my cousin Filch; he's really good with a pair of pliers...
Nora: (wince) Please, don't mention the pliers.
Storyteller: Why not? It's just teasing.
Nora: Because when I was a little Muppet with loose teeth...
MN: You're a Whatnot-type Muppet. You don't have visible teeth.
Nora: Yeah, well, my uncle used to joke about using pliers.

[The Count]

Still reading through Kermie's Girl, completely enthralled and entranced by the wealth of storytelling power such a good tome happens to have.
Mmm, about through with half of what's been posted so far, just gotta do a bit of organiing to keep things straight before asking Cath... Great stuff, wonder if anybody else's checked out the library's remaining copies though. They must've, this is just such a great epic tale...

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: Hey Ry! How goes it?
Ryan: Hey Gonzo, I'm doing okay I guess.
Gonzo: Good! How goes the writing?
Ryan: ...Uncle Deadly bribed you to come in and ask that didn't he?
Gonzo: How did you know?
Ryan: 'Cause I just kicked him out for asking too much.
Gonzo: Ohh... He forgot to mention that part.
Ryan: I bet he did. Well, you tell Uncle D. that the writing isn't getting anywhere with all this persistent nagging.
Gonzo: That's what I said! But he told me that persistent nagging is what gets you to write in the first place!
Ryan: ...Say good bye Gonzo.
Gonzo: Good bye Gonzo.
Ryan: Oh? Leaving so soon? *throws Gonzo out of room*
Gonzo: Whoo!

[The Count]

Hey Prawny... You get those ideas for Don't Trip I sent ya? If you need to toss some ideas around, feel free to LMK. Oh sorry, gotta get back to finishing Kermie's Girl. *Leaves as quickly as he came.

Hey...thanks ladies! That was really sweet of you.:) Thankfully my mouth is practically healed.Storyteller...I'll pass on Filch pulling my teeth.I'm hoping I never have to go through this again! This stuff looks good!

[BEAR]

Bry: Hey, Telly. Where ya goin'?
Telly: Down to the library. Uncle Deadly and I are going to read some stories together.
Bry: You and Uncle Deadly? I thought you were afraid of him.
Telly: Oh, he's not so bad once you get to know him. Besides, it's only when he acts creepy that I'm afraid of him. See ya! (runs off)
Bry: But...he always acts creepy...

[The Count]

Yes, and that's what we like about him. Don't worry Bry, the Count's down there too. Just got back myself after finishing my current read, but he lingered behind to catch up on some additinal titles. They'll be back home in time for dinner I wager.

[BEAR]

Thanks, Ed. By the way, Big Bird was wondering what the number of the day was. You can ask the Count when he gets back. Hope you're having a good night. Are you watching the Super Bowl? I know that Ernie is watching on the common room TV up here. I'll bet you Herry is in there as well.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Ugh! The Bears lost!
Gonzo: What did Fozzie lose?
Clifford: His mind. A long time ago. We all did.
Ryan: No, not Fozzie.
Gonzo: Bobo then?
Clifford: He lost his mind too.
Ryan: No! Not Bobo!
Gonzo: Well who then? Yogi? Pooh?
Ryan: NO! The football team!
Gonzo: Ohh... Since when do you watch football?
Ryan: I don't. I like the commercials.
Clifford: Sheesh...

[Erine81981]

Herry: Thanks Ernie for watching the Super Bowl with me. Non of the others wanted to watch it with me. Please pass the chips.

In room 26........

Grover: Ok. My turn! *takes the dice and rolls them* Oooo I got a four.

Good Grover. Alright my turn. *rolls the dice and lands on a slide* Weeeeee! That was fun.

FilFil: My tune! My turn!

Ok here FilFil. *hands dice to FilFil*

FilFil: Alright here I go. *rolls the dice* Cool. I get to climb a ladder.

Maurice: Alrighty. Come on. Monster needs a new pair of shoes.

Grover: But Maurice, you do not wear shoes.

Maurice: Oh yea. That's right. Monster needs a new pair of...of....what is it that I need a new pair of?

Everyone: Just roll the dice!

Maurice: Ok ok. Don't have to be rude about it. *rolls the dice* Oooo slide! Weeeeeee!

[The Count]

*Morning after... Ungh, another long Monday on campus... It was a good game last night in the Super Bowl... Until things started to get out of control ad it was clear the Bears were going to lose. Turned it off during the third quarter, just wasn't worth watching. As far as the commercials go, the one I liked butdon't know what it was about was the one at the supermarket, which ended with the lady saying "Clean-up on Register 6." And after listeningto a descript of it on Mike & Mike, I'm going to have to give up my #1 fave chocolate in the world for almost half a year... What the frell were Snickes thinking?!?!? That sounds like such a horrid commercial idea... Oh well, maybe there'll be some fanfic updated to cheer me up later in the day. *I'm looking at you Prawn and other half and other third.

[BEAR]

*I'm looking at you Prawn and other half and other third.

Big Bird: (overhearing Ed) Gee, I'm gonna have to start learning fractions.
Telly: Goodluck.

[ReneeLouvier]

Scooter: V-days' coming up.

Sadie: Did you watch the game, Sara?

Sara: I don't like football. I don't understand why a bunch of overpaid, burly guys would want to just about kill each other, over a ovaloid ball that's made out of Miss Piggy's cousin.

Scooter: You don't seem to just not like it, you seem to hate it actually...

Sara: It's pointless! The puppy bowl is cuter anyways!

Sadie: Until those white peraynees kept ganging up on that poor small dog. It was about as small as a chihuahua, wasn't it?

Sara: Yeah. I didn't watch much of anything yesterday to be honest. I just simply didn't like it!

Scooter: What are you going to do about V-Day though?

Sara: Just take Dad out to dinner, like we always do. His birthday's on Febuary 14th, ya know.

Sadie: Oh yes, I forgot! What is he getting for his birthday?

Sara: I have no clue at all.
