[The Count]

Huh? Hee, Kathy... You haven't been privy to the conversations between the prawn and the toga have you?
It goes like this... One says right, then the other says left, then sideways, March, May, oh, P, Q... And so on, at least that's what I've come to understand from their strange half-speak. Maybe we can ask one of them to come and lecture us on the habits of half-speech now that they've gotten their own dictionary published.

And here's a slice of apple caramel pie some of my ghosts got from the fight at the RHLC HQ.
*Hands Kathy the piece of pie, before retreating back into his own room.

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: *runs down to Ed's room* Ed, Ryan's still locked away, but he wanted me to tell you that it's right, left, sideways, March, May, thunder, lightning, headslap, then blink. Oh, P, and Q are nowhere involved. See ya!

[The Count]

*Calling after Gonzo: Trust me, it was in there when they were camped out up on the roof last year, during the time the dorms closed down!

Sure hope Beth and Cath read the latest addition. Wonder if I should talk to them about who/what should be #3. Oh well, they'll reply to the story eventually...
*Heads off to go to sleep.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Grrr...all that pastry-related foolishness...why, I have a great notion to trot over to the RHLC and drag those two back here.

[The Count]

Count: Vhy don't you Storyteller? After all, ve could use some of those fine pastries for Big Bird's birthday. Oh vell, let them have their yummy fun for now.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: I ought to, but they're both taller and heavier, and in addition to a sense of humor, Erin inherited a stubborn streak from her mother...and wait a moment, why do I hear them screaming something about Scooter? (throws open portal to RHLC) That's it, I'm coming in there!

[Ruahnna]

(Piggy and Kermit are sitting beside each other on one of the lime tweed recliners. They are not looking at each other. Piggy looks flustered and upset. Kermit looks dignified and wounded. He lets Piggy hold his hand for a moment, then withdraws from her again.)
Piggy: Kermie, I...Kermie, are vous still mad at moi?
Kermit: Um, I don't..maybe. (He looks away, and Piggy looks ashamed.)
Piggy: I'm...I'm really sorry, Kermie. I didn't mean to... He was just...it was just one of those little infatuations.
Kermit: (very snarky) Yeah? Well, your little infatuation had ham for breakfast, how do you like that?
(Piggy doesn't say anything, but there is a dainty little sniff after a moment. Kermit tries to ignore it, and it is not repeated, but when he looks around to catch her eye, she looks hastily away and dabs at her eyes. Kermit sighs, and scoots back into the chair. His arms slips across the back of the chair--as subtle as a teenager at a movie--and settles around Piggy's shoulders. She looks up in surprise.)
Kermit: Oh, what the hey. C'mere.
(Piggy scooches back until she is sitting beside him with his head on her shoulder and her head leaning on his. Her arm slips around his waist.)
Piggy: Vous are very sweet to be so understanding, Mon Capitan.
Kermit: Just tell me it wasn't the hair.
(There is no sound from Piggy.)
Kermit: Um, Piggy...?

[The Count]

Count, to himself: Portal? Hmm, she must have access to the tunnels in the Matthew T. Fraggle Room. Oh vell, at least there'll be plenty of pastries for the birthday on Thursday and this coming veekend.
*Trundles off to Room #1 to head off for a night's rest in peace as well.

[Erine81981]

Ok everyone. To Beth's room. Big Bird's birthday is today so we need to bring him his presents and to sing him a song.

Everyone gathers around Beth's room and starts to harmonize

Maurice, FilFil, Herry and Telly: Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Big Birrrrrd.
Happy Birthday toooooo......

FilFil: *gets down on one knee*.....Yooooooou.

Good job guys. Alright. Hand the presents to Beth. Sorry Bird. Grover is at work but i'll let him know to come visit you sometime tonight.

Telly: You'll like mine.

Maurice: Mine too.

FilFil: Nope. He'll like mine better.

Guys!

Herry: *hands box to Beth* He'll really like mine.

Guys! Stop it! Now quite fighting. I don't want Big Bird to think we fight all the time. Now apologize.

Maurice, Telly, FilFil and Herry: Sorry Big Bird.

Thank you guys. *hands Big Bird his present from me* You have a wonderful time Bird. Happy Birthday!

[Katzi428]

Huh? Hee, Kathy... You haven't been privy to the conversations between the prawn and the toga have you?
Me? Nosy? Never!:halo:
It goes like this... One says right, then the other says left, then sideways, March, May, oh, P, Q... And so on, at least that's what I've come to understand from their strange half-speak. Maybe we can ask one of them to come and lecture us on the habits of half-speech now that they've gotten their own dictionary published.
Ah-HA! Got it now!lightbulb going on over head

And here's a slice of apple caramel pie some of my ghosts got from the fight at the RHLC HQ.
*Hands Kathy the piece of pie, before retreating back into his own room.
Oooohhh...delicious!Thanks! getting a nice cold glass of milk to enjoy it with

[The Count]

No problem Kathy.

*Soft music starts to play, with a decidedly birthday theme to its melody.
MC Dorms were brought to you today by the letter B, for Big Bird... And by the number 20.
Count: Mmm, nice big number for our feathered friend.
Night all.

[BEAR]

Bry: (calling room 3 from an airport and leaves a message) hi Big Bird! It's me, Bryan. You must still be at your party. I hope you're having a good time. I wanted to wish you a very happy birthday. Gosh, I sure do miss you a lot. Give everyone else my regards. Happy birthday again, Big Bird! I love you. Bye. (hangs up)

[Ruahnna]

Catherine: Hey, guys! Glad to see you came to Big Bird's party after all.
Kermit: Yeah, well, we thought it might be a good idea to get out and mingle a little, you know, with other people. (This is belied by the tight grip Kermit has on Piggy's hand. The fearsome grip is happily returned.)
Piggy: The big canary's a good guy.
Kermit: (firmly) Piggy!
(Piggy subsides without a word, and Catherine gives Kermit a raised-eyebrow look. Kermit looks back defiantly, determined not to blush. He almost succeeds.)
Fozzie: Hey guys--if you are through making up you might want to come over and see the big birdseed cake. It's pretty good, if you don't mind picking the sunflower shells out of your teeth.
(Kermit looks at Piggy.)
Piggy: Whatever you think, Kermie.
(Kermit nods with satisfaction and they head toward the cake.)
Catherine: (to Fozzie) Must have worked it out.
Fozzie: They always do. Come on--I want another piece of cake!

[The Count]

*Waking up... So here it is, the first day of spring... There should be some cooling winds blowing through town, scattered rain clouds, and maybe a rainbow or two. Wonder if there's any cornbread cake left from last night's party for Big Bird. Mmm, cornbread cake with raisins inside it, yummo!

[redBoobergurl]

Big Bird: I'm so glad that Bryan called me even if I missed it for the party, it was nice to hear his voice at least!
Beth: Did you have a good birthday yesterday?
Big Bird: Yeah, I got nice presents, the cake was great, Bryan called and I got to spend the whole day with Snuffy. It was wonderful!
Beth: I'm so glad
Big Bird: Thanks for everything
Beth: You're welcome
*they hug*

[The Count]

*listening to some rock and roll music before heading off to the showers, then get dressed for afternoon classes. Mrs. Robinson just finished up, now got Higher and Higher playing. Sure hope there's something we can do to help out our local MC Radio station.
*Check out the thread entitled "Save Internet Radio" in the Announcements section of the forum.

[anytimepally]

Sal: Hey, is that guy ever getting’ outta bed? He’s been sleeping since Johnny and I got back from the show last night.
Randall: Oh, Don’s just trying to sleep off a woman, Sal. He’ll be all right.. just needs some time, that’s all.
Sal: You mean, The Pig?
(I nod.)
Sal: That pig’s always trouble, Randall . . . Johnny & I warned him.
Randall: I don’t think “I told you so” is what he needs to hear right now, Sal.
Sal: Yeah, I guess.
Randall: Listen.. I’ve got to run to the store.. be back in a bit, ok.
Sal: Yeah, sure.. oh, and if you see Johnny, tell him I’m gettin’ his suits ironed.
(I leave.)
Sal walks over to Tony Bennett and turns him on. Music starts playing.

Tony: (singing)

Smile . . . though your heart is aching
Smile . . . even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

(Don, hearing the song, awakens and sits up in bed.)

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile . . . what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile . . .
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile . . . what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile . . .

(Tony goes back into his booth.)

Don: (tearing up) Thanks, Sal.. that really helps.
Sal: Yeah yeah.. Tony’s great.. always cheers me up when Johnny’s yelling at me.
Don: Nice to have him around here . . . and you, too, Sal.
Sal: Aww.. thanks, Don.
Don: (with gusto) Well, can’t stay in bed all day when there’s work to be done. There are legendary songs just waiting to be written!
Sal: Yeah.. and I gotta get ironing Johnny’s shirts. He wears about three per day.. it’s hard to keep up sometimes.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: No time to write...I'm getting so frustrated!
Cookie: What wrong?
Beth: I've just had a rough week at work so far and I have this story I'm writing
Cookie: The one about doggie?
Beth: Yep and I know what I want to do with it and everything but I have had literally no time to write!
Cookie: That too bad
Beth: And I've just had to deal with some stuff that hasn't been all that pleasant this week so I'm just frustrated
Cookie: You know what me do when me frustrated?
Beth: Eat cookies?
Cookie: That too, but me also go find someone to give me hug
Beth: Oh, I see...
Cookie: You want hug?
Beth: Yeah, that would be nice
*Cookie gives Beth big monster hug*
Cookie: That better?
Beth *a little smushed*: Yeah, not sure if I can breathe, but better. Thanks.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *paces around room* Well... I've been stuck in here all day and I still haven't gotten any writing done, so I guess Ed and Uncle D.'s plan isn't working all too well.
Uncle Deadly: *knocks on door from outside* Ryan, if I was to fry one of your Muppet figurines, which would you want to go first?
Ryan: ...This is cruel and unusual. *begins writing*
Gonzo: *from outside room* Of course it's unusual, I live here!

[The Count]

You leave those figures or figurines alone Uncle D. Ryan has as big a love for those as I do. And if you mean any harm to them, well, I won't post the new segment of my own story.

*Sets to writing to post and hold a trump card over other fanfic authors.

[theprawncracker]

Uncle Deadly: *whispering to Ed* 'Twas just a ploy my fiend, I would never harm these plastic pearls, you know that. Now, do continue with your own story, as I'm sure Ryan is continuing his.

*Meanwhile, in Ryan's bedroom*

Ryan: *playing harmonica* Time passes slow when you're in the cooler...

[anytimepally]

Johnny: (entering the room) Hiya, Sal.. you got those shirts done?
Sal: Yeah, Johnny.. pressed and starched, just like ya like ‘em.
Johnny: Thanks, Sal.. (noticing Don working hard at his piano) .. Don? You’re awake.
Don: Yeah.. you were right about Miss Piggy after all.
Johnny: That’ll teach you to listen to Johnny Fiama when I tell you something.. experience is a hard teacher.
Don: I know.. but she was nothing special. Just another woman.
Johnny: You’re being too kind, Don.
Don: (taking the bait) And what made her think she was good enough for the great Don Music, anyway. I have higher standards than that.
Johnny: God willing, everyone does, Don. The Pig may be very talented, but she’s just not girlfriend material.
Don: (hesitantly defiant) You’re . . . right! It makes me feel like singing! … But I won’t.

(Don goes back to working on his next musical creation.)

Sal: Whatcha want I should do now, Johnny?
Johnny: I brought some lunch back, so I’m gonna be eatin’ that while I’m doin’ my vocal exercises.
Sal: Gee, thanks Johnny.. I am gettin’ kinda hungry.
Johnny: Whatdaya mean, Sal? This is my lunch!
Sal: (slinking away) Oh.. sorry Johnny.
Don: You should be more considerate, Johnny. Sal’s spent the whole day doing things for you.. ironing your shirts, dusting Tony Bennett, making your bed.. you could’ve at least brought him lunch, too.
Johnny: It’s none of your business, Donny boy.
Don: Someone’s got to stick up for Sal!
Johnny: Sal’s a big monkey.. he can look after himself! And I don’t have to stand around here and listen to this! Sal, get the door.

(Sal opens the door and Johnny storms from the room with his lunch, slamming the door behind him.)

[The Count]

*Whispering back to Uncle D: Yes, I know that full well, but I had to go along with your rousse old spook.
BTW: Do you have your trusty golden hanger with you? Should hate to think what would happen if Ryan got a hold of it.

[theprawncracker]

Uncle Deadly: *waves lock-pick around* Right here my fiend. I never let it leave my person.

*Meanwhile in Room 25*

Clifford: Got any fives?
Ernie: Go fish.
Ernie: How about threes?
Camilla: Brawk bawk.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: (singing in a silly sort of way) But we've got high hopes, high apple-pie-in the-sky hopes.
Storyteller: Hmm, speaking of apple pie, I hope you've learned your lesson about wantonly launching articles of confectionery around the RHLC at high velocity.
Nora: What lesson?
Storyteller: That pie-throwing leads to bruised egos and sticky floors.
Nora: Gee, I didn't know that was part of the deal...apart from Uncle Deadly threatening Scooter, it was all lots of fun.
Storyteller: (sigh) Where's the third occupant of this room, the glasses-wearing Silly Creature?
Nora: Making trifle over in the RHLC. And talking about some quilt book.

[The Count]

Hmmm... Home again, and tomorrow's my off day. Too bad I've got stuff that needs taking care of that'll keep me busy all day long. Oh well, at least I hope Beth's found the new segment I posted and it cheers her up regarding her own fanfic foibles.

That reminds me, need to talk to her and/or Cath, will drop them a PM soon.

[Erine81981]

Glad to have the tv to myself tonight. Man that party must of put those five out of business. There all conked out for the night. *eatting some chips and drinking some water* *turn to the camrea*

Muppet Dorms were brought you by the letter "W" for words like Why and Wild and also by the number "4." Like i hope i get to bed before 4. Good night everyone. Sleep tight and don't like the night boogie bugs bite.

[anytimepally]

Don: You really should stand up for yourself more, Sal. Your loyalty to Johnny is an inspiration, but you deserve to be treated better.
Sal: Gee, thanks, Don.. the closest to a compliment I ever get from Johnny is “get over here you stupid monkey!”.
Don: You see what I mean? You’re a great monkey and anyone would be very lucky to have you around.
Sal: (shrugging with disbelief) Really?
Don: You look after Johnny without a second thought.. I don’t think he’d be half as successful without you. He’d probably still be living with him mom.
(They both chuckle.)
Sal: Yeah, but Johnny’s not so bad. You get used to him after a while.
Don: You “get used to” being underappreciated and overworked.
Sal: Well, I mean.. it’s not as bad as all that. Johnny means well, really, he does.. he just doesn’t express himself very well.
Don: (nods) If you say so, Sal. I just think you could use more independence, you know? I don’t mean anything against Johnny Fiama.
Sal: Yeah, I know.. I can usually tell if someone means offense to Johnny. You’re just looking out for me.. it’s kinda nice for someone to be thinking about me for a change.
Don: All right, Sal.. I’m sure you know what’s best for — (pauses, noticing that Sal is tearing up). Sal, what’s wrong?
Sal: Nothing.
Don: Come on, Sal. . .
Sal: (wiping his eyes) It’s just odd for someone to be just talking to me, you know.. without asking me to do something or spending the whole time talking about themselves. I’m not used to it, that’s all . . . well, until now, I’ve never really experienced that before. It’s a heartwarming feeling, whatever it is.
Don: It’s friendship, Sal.
Sal: (smiling) Yeah…

(some time later, as a gesture of thanks, Sal insists on ironing Don Music’s shirts)

Johnny: (entering the room) Sal! With my own iron?!
Sal: (shaking his head) It’s not whatcha think, Johnny!
Johnny: I can see.
Sal: I was just.. helping.

(Johnny spins around and leaves the room.)

Sal: (running after him) Oh, no! Johnny, wait for me.. Johnny? I can explain!
(I enter the room, after nearly being knocked down by an outgoing Sal)
Randall: What's wrong with them?
Don: I tried to make Sal feel more appreciated, and he wanted to thank me for looking out for him by ironing my shirt.. over my protests, even.. you know I look better in wrinkles.
Randall: Of course you do, Don.
Don: Well, anyway, Johnny caught him ironing my shirts and took it personally.

(Sal finally catches Johnny on the steps outside the MC Dorms.. Sal sits down beside him)

Johnny: (turning away) Don’t talk to me.
Sal: I was just ironing his shirts, Johnny.. we’re roomies, it should be ok to help each other out sometimes.
Johnny: I put a roof over your head Sal.. we spend almost all of every day together.. that’s not something most friends have.
Sal: We’re really friends, Johnny?
Johnny: (turns toward Sal) Of course we are.. You don't think I'd hang around with just any monkey, do you? I don’t spend so much time or talk so much with anyone else.. and I like to think that you do the same.. That man is trying to take you away from me, Sal.
Sal: Gee, Johnny, I don’t think so.. I think he was just trying to help.. he doesn’t know us that well, yet.. he’ll get used to it.. you’re my best friend in the whole wide world, Johnny.. and nothing’s ever gonna change that.
Johnny: That’s nice, Sal.. Ma always liked you.
Sal: That’s good.. she makes great cannolis!
Johnny: Well, all right, Sal.. let’s go back inside. I've to work on some jokes for next week's show.
Sal: Great, Johnny! You know, I can’t imagine anyone ever taking your place.
Johnny: (nods) And I don’t want you ironing that man’s shirts.
Sal: Ok, Johnny.

(A short time later, Johnny and Sal enter the room to Don, once again, banging his head on his piano)

Don: I'll never get it! Never! Never!
Johnny: Earthquake!
Sal: Save yourself, Johnny! Flee!!
Johnny: No, No.. save Tony Bennett!!

(They rush over to stabilize a wobbly Tony Bennett)

Johnny: You got him there, Sal??
Sal: Yeah.. I got him. It'd have to be a real earthquake to knock him over now.
Johnny: (getting up from Tony's side and collapsing into his desk chair) Good.. just hold him there.. I'll let you know when Don's tantrum is over.
Sal: Right, Johnny!
Johnny: Boy, am I exhausted. Whew!

Randall: (shaking my head) Back to old times...

[The Count]

Johnny: Sal, will ya just let me sleep a little longer?
Sal: Sure, Johnny.. it's your birthday!

(Sal sprints over to the door and swings in open, then yells)

Sal: AND YOUSE GUYS BETTER BRING JOHNNY FIAMA PRESENTS!!!!

[Katzi428]

Rosita:Kathy.....c'mon lazybones...get up.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....:sleep:
Prairie:whispering: Rosita...don't wake Kathy. She didn't fall asleep til real early this morning.
Rosita whispering:Is she sick?
Prairie:whispering: Not that I know of.I heard her moving around in the kitchen fixing herself warm milk around 2 this morning .But finally heard her snoring til around 4.
Rosita:whispering:Ohhh...pobrecita Kathy.*covering me up with an extra blanket*I'll let her sleep.
mumbling:Thanks girls.

[Erine81981]

Telly: *sits up in bed and rubs his eyes* *yawn* What was that?

FilFil: *rubbing his eyes* I think it was that...*yawn*....that monkey from upstairs.

Telly: That monkey is something else.

FilFil: What do you mean? Tell me tell me tell me.

Telly: He's just so hyper. He can't seem to be still or quite about that guy he hangs around with.

FilFil: I see. But i still don't get it.

Telly: There's nothing i can explain to you without not know what i'm talking about.

FilFil: I know. *yawns* I'm sleep. Sweet drea.......*covers up and falls alseep*

Telly: *groans and heads back to sleep*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *inside room still* Ernie, Ernie, can you hear me?
Ernie: *outside room* Yeah Ryan, I can hear you. What d'you need?
Ryan: Could you go buy Johnny a present from me? I would do it myself but I'm still locked in here, as you can tell.
Ernie: Oh, sure Ryan, no problem.
Ryan: Thanks Ernie, you're the best.
Ernie: No problem Ryan, buddy! Now, where did I put Rubber Duckie...
Ryan: I hope that was a smart move.

[The Count]

Ungh... Why do I keep getting this Don Music-ish feeling of insatisfaction... Hey Count, could you please take Johnny's present for me to his party?
Count: Certainly Edvard... It'll get taken care of.
Good. Now if only I got my rear in gear and got other stuff taken care of as well...

[anytimepally]

Sal: Johnny, my best friend who's having a birthday today.. I got ya this autographed gold record of "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" for your solid gold record played.
Johnny: Aww, thanks Sal!
Randall: You guys do realize you can't actually play a gold record on the record player, right? They're for decoration only.
Sal: Says who?!
Randall: Look at it Sal, it hasn't got the grooves. It's a commemorative piece for when a songs sells over half a million copies.
Johnny: Huh.. you learn something every day. How come none of my records got a gold record?
Don: (smiling, and leaning in to look at the record) I can show you some of mine if you'd like.

[Erine81981]

Grover: *knocks on Randall's door* Hey there Randall. I Grover am here to give you six presents from each of us from room 26. Kyle that is. *hands each box to Randall* This one is from Telly. This one right here is from Kyle. Awwww lookie at that cute little wrapping. Wonder who could it be? Why little old me. *laughs* Next one is from Herry. Then this one from FilFil. Sorry about the wrapping. He is still learning. Last but not least this one is from Maurice. Hope this will make Mr. Fiama will enjoy all of these. Bye. *heads back downstairs back to room 26 and bumps into Ernie* Hey Ernie. What is up with you?

[theprawncracker]

Ernie: Oh, Grover, hi! I'm just going to deliver these presents from Ryan, Clifford, Bert, and me. Bert and I got Mr. Fiama some hair gel and a new Tony Bennet comb. Clifford got him a certificate for Murray's Pin-Striped Suit Empire. And from Ryan, I got him this nice little leash for Sal, I thought he'd like it. Khekhekhe.

[anytimepally]

Johnny: Who was that weird, blue guy?
Randall: Johnny, don't speak badly of people who bring gifts.
Johnny: Gifts? For me?
Randall: It's not anyone else's birthday today.
Don: That was Grover, Johnny.. he's an old friend.
Sal: He's so adorable!
Randall: He thinks so, too, Sal
Sal: Yeah, yeah.. come on.. let's get the party rolling.. everyone wants cake and ice cream.. and by everyone.. I mean me!

(runs over to the door, opens it and yells)

Sal: OK, YOUSE GUYS.. EVERYONE GET UP HERE NOW TO CELEBRATE THE GREATEST DAY OF THE ENTIRE YEAR.. THE BIRTHDAY OF THE ONE, THE ONLY.. JOHNNY FIAMA!!!!!!!! .....AND THERE'S MARBLE CAKE!

[theprawncracker]

Bert: Oh, a party! Sounds like fun!
Clifford: Actually, it sounds like Sal yellin' up a storm.
Gonzo: Sounds like fun!
Clifford: Can't say I didn't see that coming... Alright ya'll, let's go get our par-tay on.
Camilla: Bragawk!
Uncle Deadly: Fright, let us boogie into the night!
Ryan: *inside room* Hey! What about me?! I wanna party too!!

[The Count]

Eh... Another day, another headache. Wonder what the rest of the place is up to...

[Katzi428]

singing with a French accent Zank heaven...for leetle girrrrlllss...for leetle girls get beeger every dayyy....
Prairie:Hmmm...all you need is a French beret, Mademoiselle Kathy!:smirk: I can tell how excited you are about the baby,though.;)
Yeah...I just wish I could see her sooner.
Prairie:I know.But time will fly.I promise.Too bad they don't live closer.
Yeah..tell me about it!Distance rots! But at least I don't live in another country.
Prairie:Yep.Plus I'm sure your brother will take videos of the baby.
You're right.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

MN: Ah...Friday at last.
Storyteller: Yes...now, who's up for pizza?
Nora: Ooh! Me! Me!
MN: Sounds good, but it'll have to be double cheese or vegetables. Still got a few weeks of Lent left.
Storyteller: That's all right...now, then, I've got a batch of dough stored in the fridge, so if you ladies would start digging out the appropriate toppings...(all head into kitchen)

[Ruahnna]

Piggy: (muttering) I do NOT wish to visit that room where a certain person who shall remain nameless lives!
(Kermit and Catherine have one arm a piece, and they are dragging, um, helping Piggy toward the birthday party for Johnny Fiama.)
Catherine: Look, I know it might be a little awkward at first, but we've known Johnny a long time and it's his birthday. C'mon--you didn't even have to buy a present, okay? Fozzie and I did the shopping.
Kermit: I mean, sure, it's going to be embarrassing and all since you practically threw yourself at his room-mate the other day, but you at least need to make an appearance.
(Piggy looks at him, annoyed and flustered.)
Piggy: (muttering) I'm making a fist...
Catherine: (grabbing Piggy's hand) Don't do it, Piggy. I think we agreed that Kermit's entitled to a few snarky comments over what happened. He was, after all, very forgiving under the circumstances.
Piggy: A few? How about a few every hour? Look, I said I'm sorry. I just got carried away.
(Kermit has his mouth open to say something but, seeing the look on Piggy's face, thinks better of it. Instead, he smiles that lop-sided smile that Piggy is so fond of and she subsides and smiles back.)
Kermit: Okay, truce?
Piggy: Truce. (After a moment, she reaches for Kermit's hand.) Promise you'll stick close to me tonight?
Kermit: (dryly) I don't intend to let you out of my sight. (muttering under his breath) Especially near their kitchen. Sheesh!
(Fozzie looks up at Catherine, cheerful for a Friday night.)
Fozzie: You think Johnny will like the smoking jacket we got him?
Catherine: I do. It's very old-school. And I think Sal will like it, too.
Fozzie: Sal? Why will Sal like it? He doesn't even wear the same size as Johnny.
Catherine: True, but the smoking jacket doesn't need to be ironed.
Kermit: Good thinking, guys.
Piggy: Of course--that's why they are Moi's roomies.

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: *plops down on the couch with a bowl of popcorn* Anyone up for a movie?
Clifford: *shrug* Sure, why not. It IS Friday. How 'bout a little Muppet Wizard of Oz?
Ernie: Ooh, sounds like fun. *eats popcorn*
Bert: Yeah, Ryan loves that one.
Gonzo: ...Where is Ryan?
Uncle Deadly: Locked in his room.
Bert: Still?
Clifford: Yeah, why do ya think I've been sleepin' out on the floor every night?
Ernie: Well don't you think we should let him out?
Camilla: Brawk bagawk byuck bawk.
Uncle Deadly: Indeed, he hasn't posted his latest story yet.
Gonzo: Maybe he's not posting it as a sign of rebellion. Maybe if you let him out, he'll post it.
Uncle Deadly: ...That's so crazy... it just might work.
Ernie: This IS Gonzo we're talking about. Khekhekhe.
Uncle Deadly: *picks lock on Ryan's door* *cautiously opens* Ryan, you can-
Ryan: *darts out* *kisses floor* FREEDOM!! SWEET, GLORIOUS FREEDOM!!
Clifford: *shakes head* Start the movie Gonzo.

[Erine81981]

FilFil: Heard someone mention a movie. Can i come in and watch?

Herry: We both heard.

Maurice: Actually we all heard.

Telly: Oooo the Muppet's Wizard of Oz. My favorite. Pass the popcorn, pleace.

Randall: Quiet night around the dorms...
Don: Indeed! It helps my brilliance rise to the surface.
Randall: Really? I hadn't noticed.
Don: What do you mean?!
Randall: I'm joking... You wanna come watch T.V. with Johnny, Sal, and I?
Don: No.. I've got to finish this last line.. I need something that rhymes with "orange."
Randall: OK.. if you change your mind, we're watching Bubba Ho-Tep

[The Count]

Hello from your friendly MC dorms management team.

It's come to our attention... That the current birthday season has hit a second week and will start off promptly today. So who's turn is it to have a party? Good question.
*Consults register...
Well, as I see it, there should be a party over in Room #19. Why? For today we celebrate one of Kim's roommates, the Beast! If you have any questions about party preparations, talk to Kim and Tosh Fraggle over in Room #19 on the second floor. Hope to see you at the party later tonight and have a good day.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *eating bowl of cereal* Hey, Ernie, I forgot to tell you that Bryan sends his greetings from Washington D.C.
Ernie: Ooh, that's great! I'll be sure to tell Bert when he wakes up.
Ryan: *smirks* I'm sure you will. I'm also pretty sure you'll be the one to wake him up.
Ernie: Khekhekhe, maybe. So, what are we doing today, pal?
Ryan: Well, I'm actually going to my dad's birthday part today, so I won't be around much until later tonight.
Ernie: Aww... well, that's okay buddy, I'm sure me and Bert can find something to do with Gonzo and the others.
Ryan: Yeah, maybe you can go out shopping for the Beast.
Ernie: Oh, good idea. Uh, just one thing... what do you buy for a beast?
Ryan: *shrug* Got me. But I'm sure Uncle Deadly or Gonzo would know.
Ernie: Khekhekhe, you're probably right Ryan.
Ryan: Then that would make Lisa left.
Ernie: Sure! Now c'mon, let's go wake Bert up!'
Ryan: *shakes head* You go ahead, I'll make him some oatmeal so he isn't completely crabby.
Ernie: Good idea.

[The Count]

Hey Prawny... Swung by that other place you set up for us to stay at... Nice diggs, hope it doesn't get any bad neighbors if you know what I mean.

[Erine81981]

FilFil: Why are we here? I thought we were staying at the other place.

We'll be staying here till we have to move for a while to the other room.

Herry: Good i can still workout for a while.

Telly: Is Oscar coming with us?

Oh yea. Almost forgot about Oscar. He'll be coming with us over to the other place when we have to start moving.

Maurice: I'm glad that Ryan and Lisa were kind of enough to build us some rooms to stay in.

Yep. It was. Maybe we need to send them both a Thank You card.

Herry: I'll get the cards.

Grover: *comes in* Hey everybody.

(In Union): Hey Grover.

Herry: We're making thank you cards for Ryan and Lisa.

Grover: Oooo i have to go get my cute little crayons.

I'm going to go get some donuts. I'll be back. *walks out the door*

FilFil: Oooo donuts. Yummy!

[anytimepally]

Sal: Hey, guys.. I heard someone downstairs say something about donuts.. I'm gonna go check it out.

(leaves)

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: So Tosh, any special plans for Beast's birthday today?
Tosh: We're going to go over to the park and play. Then we're going for a walk around town.
Kim: Well, it certainly is a nice enough day for it.
Boober: *running up* Tosh, Tosh, Tosh! Don't go yet!
Tosh: What is it, Boober?
Kim: Yeah, whyfor are you channeling Wembley?
Boober: *gives Kim a Look* What? *to Tosh* You said you were going into town, right?
Tosh: Yeah.
Boober: You'd better take this, then. It's my present for Beast. I was going to give it to you tonight, but you could probably use it this afternoon if you wanted. *hands her an envelope*
Tosh: *opens it* Oh! Look, Beast! It's a gift certificate for that grooming place in town that you like!
Beast: Yay! *excited growling*
Kim: Hey, now you can get all spiffed up for your party tonight.
Beast: Yeah, yeah! *nods*
Tosh: We'd better get going. See you guys later!
Kim: Later, Tosh! And don't forget to be back in time for the party tonight!
Tosh: We won't!

-Kim

[anytimepally]

Johnny: Hey.. I made these beast-treats for Beastie's birthday present.
Randall: That's nice, Johnny. What flavor are they?
Johnny: Umm.. I dunno.
Sal: Maybe I could try one.. you know, so you'll know what flavor to tell Tosh they are at the party tonight!
Johnny: Wa.. Sal grabs one and eats it, then spits it out across the room ... Wait...
Don: You okay, Sal?
Sal: Yeah, but Johnny.. those things taste like charcoal!
Johnny: Yeah... well, it was gonna be my lunch, but I got sidetracked and left 'em in the oven too long.
Don: (shaking his head) That's just not right...
Johnny: But Beasts eat this kind of stuff, yeah?
(Don and Sal shrug)
Randall: At least the rest of us got legit gifts.. come on, let's get to the party.
Johnny: (as we're leaving) What? It's legit..

[The Count]

Hello from the dorms' management.

OK, I'm not sure if Tosh Fraggle and the Beast came back for their party last night. But I hope they had a good time. That reminds me, there's another celebrateur today... That little bundle of cuteness known as Bean Bunny. Hop on downstairs to Room #4 and check in with Bo about party preparations. Or if he's not in at the moment feel free to leave your presents for the hair-brained hare at his room's door.

Hope this message gets through and have a good day.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Wonder what's going on?
MN: Yeah, the front door was blocked off, so I had to come in the back.
Nora: Well, Phil mentioned something about the whole place being moved to a new server...
MN: Maybe that explains why the "Domain Default Page" keeps coming up.
Nora: And why all the other pages on the site are dead except for the forum.
Storyteller: What are you girls talking about?
MN: Computers.
Storyteller: Computers? Why don't you two talk about something of cultural significance or high artistic value?
Nora: (giggle) Storyteller, you're starting to sound like Sam the Eagle.

[The Count]

Hi Erin... The doors aren't locked... If you get that domain message, then just type www.muppetcentral.com into your browser and update your bookmarks. Just did it meself. Oh, and that reminds me, we're meeting at a temporary other campus clubhouse Ryan set up for just such an emergency. Drop me a PM and I can give you the address so you can go and join us there.

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: *comes in, dragging a suitcase behind her* I've gotta get lighter luggage!!!

Scooter: Hey, where have you been?

Sara: Doing lots of things that needed to be done! Taking care of some debts, trying to pass my driver's test...and failing. Many times. Mailing out some stuff that had to be mailed. Stuff like that.

Sadie: And that caused you to be gone for nearly...a month?

Sara: Um...yes. Sorry about that guys!

Scooter: It's okay. We've been kept company by everyone else in the dorms. If you knew you were gonna be away for so long, we could've dormed with Ed or somebody else ya know?

Sara: I get the point, Scoot. I'm sorry I've been gone for so long!! I bet Richard kept you company too.

Scooter: Oh yeah, had some fun times in the club lately.

Sadie: I'm just wondering when that sweet niece of his might post again though. She was so nice!

Sara: Yeah, I do miss Amanda too. ...I forgot actually, was her name Amanda?

Scooter: I think it was. I'd have to ask around actually.

Sara: Either way guys....I'm back!!!

*much cheering is heard from Room 6 (?), with streamers being popped, and chocolate doughnuts being thrown out the door, and down the hallway in celebratory glee-ness.*

[Erine81981]

Grover: *resting on the couch*

Hey Grover. Are you ok?

Grover: I....am.......fine.

Your breathing hard. Are you sure your fine?

Grover: Not.....really.

What did you do today?

Grover: Lots....of......work.

You didn't?

Grover: I........did.

Grover! You know you have to rest in between jobs. You don't need to keep working?

Grover: But....i.....like....to.....help.

I know Grover but you need to keep it down a bit. Don't go all out. Listen to this song.

*music starts up*

Me: I take a big box of cookies from the kitchen
I eat them all 'till my tummy start to ache
So before i eat another box of cookies
There is one more thing i take
I go and
Take a rest yeah
I take a rest
Put my head on my pillow and my hands on my chest
I enjoy eating cookies
But sometime it best
To take it slow
Take it easy
Take a rest

Me: Hey Herry - you ever take a rest?

Herry: Oh sure Kyle; if you're an active kind of guy like me - you have to
Sometimes I take a walk around the corner
Sometimes I take a run around the block
Sometimes I take out my dolly and play
But every day at 2 o'clock
I go and
Take a rest
I take a rest
Put my head on fluffy pillow and my hands on my chest
I love being busy
But sometimes it's best
To take it slow
Take it easy
Take a rest

Herry: Hey Telly, do you ever take a rest?

Telly: Sure I do, Herry. Everybody takes a rest sometimes. Listen, I'll tell you about it.
You know your body likes to go out playing
But then it likes being quiet too
So when your body starts to tell you that it's tired
There is just one thing to do
Just go and
Take a rest
Just take a rest
Put your head on my pillow and your hands on my chest
It's fun to be busy
But sometimes it's best
To take it slow
Take it easy
Take a rest

Me & Herry: Everybody

All: Take it slow
Take it easy
Take a rest

Telly: Even softer

All: Take it slow
Take it easy
Take a rest

Me: Oh. I'm so tired. *falls over on floor* Zzzzzzzzzz....zzzzz....

Grover: That was one triffic advice Kyle. Thank you so very much. *kisses me on the head* See you around.

Telly: Uh Kyle? Is he alright?

Herry: He should be. He's just sleepy. He always falls asleep after that song. Wanna go a video game?

Telly: Sure. I have one called "Triangle Parts." *talking as he walks away with Herry*

[redBoobergurl]

Count: Ah... Looks like this skeleton key does vork after all. Hmmm, sounds like they're having fun next door in Beth's room... And Grover's tucked in and sleeping avay on the couch up in Kyle's room.
Good, Ed vill be happy to know everything's fine. Just hope he'll be able to get in here vhen he gets back from classes later tonight.

[The Count]

Oh wow! The place's open at last, and looks like Phil cleaned the entire town while we were staying over at the MC Jr. apartments. Gotta tell everybody!
*Rushes off to make a grand announcement.

[anytimepally]

Johnny: Ah.. Home Sweet Home
Sal: (over at the fridge) umm.. Johnny?

[The Count]

*The Count and Ed finish off a succulent shrimp soup his mom sent over to warm the bones on this rain-chilled night. Mmm, that sure was good. Gonna check the threads and send Phil a message.

Heh, OK then... Rest in peace Count.

[Erine81981]

Grover: Mmmmm love your mac and cheese Kyle.

Count: Good. You'll be checking the threads?
Yeah, gotta catch up with that janitor person. Not to mention plan a surprise for one of our premiere members here for tomorrow.

[redBoobergurl]

Red: Beth! There you are! What happened?
Beth: I can't get here from work. It's hard to explain. I'm here now but only for a little bit. *sigh* This is frustrating.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *runs a basket of muffins to Beth's room* Hey there Red, heard Beth was a little down, so I baked her some muffins. *hands Red muffins* See ya later! *bounces off*

[The Count]

*Downstairs in Room #1... Been under the weather all day today, pulls back covers and trots off to the bat-room for a late night shower.

Oh hi Prawny... Excited about tomorrow huh? Hmmm, wonder if the Count would like to go with my family to the local circus his Sunday, and then with my friend and I to Buffalo Wild Wings where we'll watch Wrestlemania 23.

Night everybody, will be up for a while longer.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Oh, hi there Ed! You BET I'm excited about tomorrow! It's my darling other half's birthday! Hoo! And boy is she gonna be surprised at her gift! Whoopie! See ya Ed!

[anytimepally]

Don Music: (playing a tune on the piano) Uhh.. I just can't think of any words tonight!
Randall: But at least you've got a nice tune there, Don.
Sal Manilla: Yeah.. yeah.. it sounds kinda familiar!
Don: (smiling) The best songs always sound familiar.
Johnny Fiama: That, or you're playing an already-written tune.
Don: What in the world do you mean?!?
Johnny: Start it over.
Don: k.. (starts the tune over)
Johnny: (singing)
Now the curtain is going up..
The Entertainer is taking his bow
does his dance-step and sings his song
even gets the audience to sing along
yes, he knows just what he must do
knows how to bring down the house when he's through..
Snappy patter and jokes
he knows what pleases the folks,
The entertainer, the star of the show!
Don: And that's a real song?
I nod.

Don: Oh.. I'd forgotten writing that one!

[theprawncracker]

Uncle Deadly: So, Ryan my fiend, what did you happen to get your dear other half for her birthday? Hmm?
Ryan: *smirks* Wouldn't you like to know.
Uncle Deadly: Indeed, that's why I asked.
Ryan: Well, I'm not telling. You'll just have to wait and be surprised like everyone else.
Gonzo: *leans in close* But you'll tell me right?
Ryan: Nope.
Gonzo: Humph! Well I see how it is!
Bert: How is it?
Gonzo: ...I don't know. But I see it.
Clifford: Dude, how can you see somethin' if you don't know what it is?
Ernie: Oh, that's easy Clifford. I mean, I can see Gonzo and not know what he is.
Ryan: He's gotcha there Cliff.
Camilla: Bragawk!

[Erine81981]

I'll be in my room again. Since i leave at 6 in the morning.

Grover: Ok. I will be on the couch watching tv. I am off tomorrow.

Everyone looks at Grover with a surprised looked

Grover: What? You can not expect a cute little furry blue monster like me to work all the time?

Everyone gives a look as in well

Grover: You do?

Herry: Your always working.

Maruice: All the time.

Telly: Do you ever take off?

Grover: That is why i am taking off tomorrow.

Everyone agrees and all goes their separate ways

Grover: What do they think I Grover am? Oh well. *turns on tv to watch is favorite show, "The Moppet Family."

[The Count]

*Feels a bit better at the tolling of the midnight chimes. Mmm, sounds like there's some music coming from upstairs. Well, good night guys and gals.
MC Dorms was brought to you by the letter U...
Count: And by the number 1.
*A ghostly white 1 appears in mid air before vanishing spookily into nothingness.

[theprawncracker]

Uncle Deadly: Now I see why you wouldn't tell me.
Ryan: Exactly.
Uncle Deadly: And what a lovely gift you've given her.
Ryan: Thanks, I try.
Bert: Yeah, it's really very good Ryan.
Ryan: You read it, Bert?
Bert: Yeah, Ernie dragged me down to the library this morning, and we read it
Ryan: Great! I'm glad you liked it.
Bert: And I saw that Lisa did too. What a great way to start out her birthday.
Ryan: Yup. And I'm not even done yet. *evil grin*

[The Count]

Sorry it's a bit late, but here's another message from the dorms management team.

Today we celebrate a great event, for we commemorate the birth of that most heralded of MC members... Lisa! You maybe know her as the girl who writes all this incredible fanfiction, or as one of the key players from the local T*K*O offices, as the inimitable Ms. Insane A. Syllum, as the voice of those three cute little kittens from the Moppets Family, or as just Prawny's half. In any case, we'll be having a party for her later tonight even if she doesn't log on and know about it. Check with Ryan in Room #25 as to what you can do to help out with the party preparations, as that's the only way to contact this most mysterious scribe.

Take care and happy biiiiiiiirthday Lisa!

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Yea, home again!
Red: At least for awhile
Beth: At least for the weekend, we'll see how things go on Monday
Big Bird: I'm so glad we're here for Lisa's birthday

*tons of Muppets run through the hall*
Ryan: *blink* That was fast. *runs off as well*

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <bounces to the library> I would SO do a cartwheel if I knew how!
Rowlf: Nice to see you taking on the maturity of adulthood.
Lisa: Mature, shmature! I'm a kid at heart forever.
Robin: I'm a kid forver, physically!
Chef: Yebben shmur de gurgle!

[theprawncracker]

Clifford: Hey gang, we've got muffins over there near the fireplace (and away from Gonzo), and some punch over there too. Have a ball. Ry's in the kitchen with Ernie and Bert cookin' the rest of the dinner.

*in the kitchen with Ernie and Bert*

Ryan: Bert, where'd that cheese go?
Bert: I don't know! It was just there!
Ryan: But it's gone!
Rizzo: *from hole in the wall* Heh heh! Look who's got the uppah-hand now! *runs away*
Ryan: Sheesh... Ernie?
Ernie: Yeah?
Ryan: Call out for pizzas.
Ernie: Khekhekhe!

[anytimepally]

Johnny Fiama: Clifford! My man.. what's happenin' bay-bee?
Sal Manilla: Party Time!!! (looking around).. Hey, where's the real food?
Don Music: Bert & Ernie are in the Kitchen, you say?
Randall: That's what I heard, Don.
Don: Oh.. good people, though.. old friends of mine, you know, so they must be.
Johnny: Your friends are all a little kooky there, Don.
Don: Not these two.. why, Bert he collects.. well, maybe that's a bad example.. umm.. Ernie, he's always got his.. (shaking his head) oh, nevermind.
Johnny and I chuckle.
Sal: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Time to Par-Tay.. And nobody better bother Johnny Fiama while he's gettin' down with his bad self, neither!

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Ernie, where are those pizzas?
Ernie: I ordered them over an hour ago. I don't know where they are.

*meanwhile, at the front door of the Dorms*

Pizza guy: Uhh, did anybody order twenty-seven large pizzas?
Rizzo: Yo! Right here bud. *takes pizzas* And just put it on Ryan's tab. Heh heh. *runs off with pizzas*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

MN: Finally, the weekend.
Storyteller: So are you planning to actually relax this time?
MN: (sigh) I've got a huge paper to start working on, and ten million other things besides.
Nora: Yeah, and I promised to put in an extra shift down at Coming Unbound tomorrow morning.
Storyteller: Right, right, how is Mrs. Farley?
Nora: I think her neck brace is almost ready to come off.
Storyteller: Oh, bless her, she's been through so much...now, back to you, Erin...
MN: Yes, Storyteller, I'll try to get some rest.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Okay guys, here's the deal, I managed to swipe a bowl of cheesy potatoes from my parent's dinner party back home. Gaurd it with your lives, I'm gonna go check on the party. *leaves*
Ernie: What do you think happened to all that other food, Bert?
Bert: I dunno.
Rizzo: *throws a bottlecap on the floor*
Bert: Ooh! Look at THAT! *bends over*
Ernie: Look at what? *bends over*
Rizzo: *swipes cheesy potatoes and runs* This is too easy.
Ernie: *gets back up* ...Uh oh.

[Erine81981]

Grover: Hey everyboddieeeee!!

Herry: It's time to dance! Hit it DJ FilFil!

FilFil pops up from behind a set of record players set over by the wall of the Fan Fic Library and starts with the DJing

DJ FilFil: *wearing a head band* Yo yo yo everybody. It's time for us to bust a move. Everybody ready?

Maurice: I know i am.

Telly: Me too. *laughs*

DJ FilFil: Then lets get fuzzy and funky. *starts up some music*

I'm here with the sodas. This place is happen. Hey Clifford. *hip hop hand shake* What up fool?

[theprawncracker]

Clifford: *laughs* Hey man, good to see you guys made it. Like I said, we got muffins and punch over there. Not sure how much is left. Or where Ryan is with the rest of that food.

Ryan:* in a ventalation shaft* Uch, I am going to exterminate that vermin!
Ernie: *crawling behind Ryan* I can't believe Bert didn't wanna come with us.
Ryan: *crawls into a spider web* Yeah, what an opportunity he's missing...

[Ruahnna]

Catherine: Isn't this exciting? Lisa's going to be a genuine adult!
Fozzie: Is that different from being a fake adult?
Piggy: Oh, brother.
Fozzie: I didn't know she had a brother. I thought she and Ryan were just friends.
Kermit: Um, Fozzie--Catherine meant that Lisa's going to be of legal age.
(Fozzie put both hands over his mouth, shocked.)
Fozzie: You mean--you mean she's been illegal all this time?
Kermit: (desperately) Help me out here, guys!
Catherine: Um, okay. (pats Kermit on head so he doesn't hyperventilate) Fozzie, in order to make some decisions for yourself, you have to reach a certain ago.
Fozzie: Why?
Catherine: Um, well, it's because it's better to make some decisions after you're old enough to understand the consequences.
Piggy: And be tried as an adult.
Kermit: Piggy! Not helping!
Fozzie: What kinds of things?
Catherine: Um, things like going into a bar, and uh, you know, getting a tattoo and, well, entering into a legally binding contract and getting married and those sorts of things.
Fozzie: Wow! And Lisa will be old enough to do all those things?
Catherine: Well, um, yes.
Fozzie: Is she going to do those things?
Catherine: I don't think so, dear. C'mon everybody--let's shake a leg. Party won't wait forever!
Piggy: (smugly) My present is the best.
Kermit: Oh, you think so? What makes you think a Miss Piggy writing pen is better than a Kermit writing tablet?
Catherine: I think she'll like both of your presents. I was practical. I made food.
Kermit: What'd you make?
Catherine: Something without cheese--I hear their having a problem with cheese in Ryan's room. I made cookies. These are chocolate chip--the ones in this big tin. And the ones in this bright green tin are NOT chocolate chip cookies, got it?
Kermit: Oh, good! The kind Robin likes!
Piggy: I seem to remember a certain amphibian who ate about five last time I brought them home....
Kermit: (fondly) Yeah--that was very sweet of you, Piggy. Not many bakeries around here make them.
Fozzie: Well, I think she's going to like my present best of all.
Catherine: What'd you get her, Fozzie?
Fozzie: A nametag. See?--you can write your name in it right here, and if your name changes, you can just wipe it off and write in your new name.
Catherine: (ruffling Fozzie's fur) You're a pretty smart bear, you are. I think she's gonna love it.
Piggy: I think she needs it!
Kermit: I think we're here! Party time! Happy birthday, Lisa!

Clifford: Hey hey! Look who it is! Kerm, Piggy, Fozzie, Cath, welcome everybody. Hey, you brought cookies? Great. We need 'em. We're drastically low on food, and our cook ran off somewhere.

Ryan: *in a ventalation shaft* Ernie, will you quit squeaking Rubber Duckie?
Ernie: I left Rubber Duckie with Bert, Ryan.
Ryan: ...Then what's squeak- *the vent falls through dropping us in the pool*
Rizzo: *laughs from lawn chair* Hahaha! I got you good Ryan! Haha! Good luck findin' me now! *runs off again*
Ryan: ...Ernie?
Ernie: Yeah?
Ryan: We're gonna need the heavy artilery...
Ernie: *gulps* Like?
Ryan: ...We're callin' in the Chef.

Ryan: ...Hey, I have an idea! Let's ask Ed if you can move in with me and the guys!
Rizzo: Really? Ya mean it?
Ryan: Yeah! I'm sure Gonzo would love to have you. Now c'mon, grab all that food you stole and let's head back to Lisa's party.

Roomies: ...again.
Boober: Seriously, you all should just come to expect it from us.
Kim: *facepalms* Boober... Seriously, though. We would have made it on time, but I've just had library stuff on my mind all week. We're instating a new circulation system and it's just nuts.
Betty Lou: Kim, the present!
Kim: Right! What would I do without you guys?
Gillis: Better that we not answer that question.
Kim: Shaddup, Maestro... Anyhoo, we all chipped in to get this gift for you, Lisa. Tosh, you and Beast want to do the honors?
Tosh: Sure! Lisa, this is for you. *Beast hands the present to Lisa* It's a nice fountain pen, with your name embossed on it. And it's got its own pen case. You can use it to write your stories with, or you can just set it somewhere to look pretty.

-Kim

[The Count]

Hmmm, looks like we missed the party. Just as well, we wouldn't want anybody else getting sick on account of me.
Count: Are you feeling better my fiend?
Yeah, but I've still got residual symptoms.
Count: Ah, that's all fright... You stay there, I'll go get the latest updates to the stories in the library.
Thanks Count. Oh, and did the bats get Lisa's present to her?
Count: Yes, a CD with all of the fanfics recorded by us Muppets and her forum friends, organized according to chronological order and by author.
Mmm, good.

(back in the room.. Don, still asleep, hears Sal say the word "worm.")

Don: (in a groggy, sleeping whisper) The worm?.. mmmhmhmhhm.. sure.. (Don flops around on the bed for a few seconds, before falling completely back asleep)

Ryan: Well, I do.
Uncle Deadly: Then why are you writing?
Ryan: ...Because I like to...
Uncle Deadly: No! Why are you writing instead of just posting?
Ryan: Oh! Because I'd like to stay a chapter ahead of myself.
Uncle Deadly: ...Oh. Well how much of chapter 6 do you have done?
Ryan: I'd have more done if you'd let me write.

[Effralyo]

*Enters the main lobby with Brool on her hands, escorted by Zeliboba*
Eeeer.... Count?... Is anyone here?... We are ready to settle, would I get our key, please?..

*And while I'm waiting - here comes the descript!*...
So there, we with Zeliboba the Courtyard Spirit and Brool the Minstrel live in Floor 1, West Wing, room #7. (I decided there’ll be too many things to describe for four, so Convincing John is now avaliable as a roommate for anyone.)
Here’s the descript of this room.
First, let’s feature where is placed what.
Left side: One nightstand, one sofa, two baskets and two dresser drawers.
Right side: Two wardrobes, a desk, a TV set and a chair.
Center: Empty.

The wallpaper isn’t split anywhere, it all features small Stetson hats, banjos and horseshoe prints on yellow bakground.
2. Since I don’t like (and din’t get used to) sleeping on the bed, there is a big sofa near the left wall. It’s dark brown, covered with a blue and orange plaid. (Pillows and stuff are placed inside the sofa, so we have to get them out and make our bed every evening – but it’s not a problem). Zelly and me sleep on it both to save space - although Zeliboba sometimes can sleep in a big dog basket which stands near. On the right from the sofa stands the other basket, smaller by size, for Brool.
Carpet on the floor is big, and has a bright Mexican pattern.
There’s a nightstand next to the sofa – shared by me and Zel. I keep my bookbag, cellphone, case for glasses, sketch pads, pencils and a portative DVD player on the upper shelf, and Zeliboba stores his pocket PC, several most favorite books, a pair of sunglasses and a magic wand on the lower one. There is also a batch of Sesame/TMS DVDs and a fully functioning silver laptop on the nitestand.
Brool has a big green dish with his name on the one side, it stands near his basket and always filled with fresh cat food or corn crunchies.
There are several SS plushies on the sofa – Elmo, Zoe, Bert, Big Bird & Cookie – and a “pull-string” Alameda Slim doll.
We have two guitars – an electric one (Zeliboba’s) and a plain one (for me or Brool when he wants).
Wardrobes: Zeliboba’s on the left has blue knobs, mine on the right has yellow knobs. Zelly keeps his cloak, several T-shirts, jeans/furry pants, a top hat, a fancy green hat and his entire tie collection hung inside his closet. My jeans and t-shirts are neatly hung in my closet.
Dresser drawers: I have additional clothes folded in the drawers, along with some personal items (like hair comb, home and room keys, a medallion with Zel’s portrait, etc.) Zeliboba keeps his thick family photo album, a hair/sideburn comb and magic spells that ain’t used yet (they look like small lighting balls) in his drawer. It also holds a framed pic of his dad, Fanokeits.
There’s a complete set of watercolors, acrylic colors, pastels, brushes and markers on the desk, and a comfy orange armchair near the desk.
Zeliboba’s pet tortoise, Lettuce, lives in a box under the desk. As for me, I take care of Brool - cuz he’s a wannabe kitty afterall.
The wastebasket is set up in the farther left corner of the room.
Our toothbrushes and towels are naturally kept in the Floor 1 Bathrooms. Zeliboba has a blue toothbrush, marked by a small golden star and a letter Z. Mine looks almost same, yet is orange and marked by a letter J. A small dark green toothbrush belongs to Brool.
Zelly’s fluffy towel features a sunset landscape. Mine is bright yellow, with white strips.
And Brool’s towel is purple, with white musical notes in the middle.
And of course, the free space of the walls is all covered with my drawings of the Muppet characters, Alameda Slim and Yosemite Sam.- That’s all.

[Fragglemuppet]

*all of us are walking to the lobby, me on my way to work and the others to class* Hey Julia! You remember me, right? It's Kate, and I'm sure you know my roommates here. This is Gobo, Wembly, and Lou Fraggle..
Wembly: Hi Julia. Pleased to meet you. I don't think I know yourur roommates though.
Oh, sure you remember the minstrel Brool from the rock?
Wembly: Oh yeah, I forgot.
Lou: Well it's nice to meet you anyway.
Gobo: Yeah, look forward to seeing you around. Sorry I've gotta run; I'm late for my music class.
All: Have fun! See you later!

[The Count]

Oh my... Um, I'll be fright there. *Goes straight upstairs through the elevator to the front lobby where Julia's waiting...
Hello and welcome, oh, hi Julia. Finally made it over here. And this is the amous Zeleboba I've heard so much about. And of course Brool, glad to have another Fraggle here in the dorms.

Unfortunately, there've been some changes since you first expressed interest in joining the dorms. First of all, Room #7's been taken by Erin and her roomies. Secondly, we instituted an applications program which all potential new residents should fill out and submit for the review committee to examine before approving the resident's addition tothe dorms' register.

Howeer, I believe we can send you the application form promptly. Once you've finished it, please send it back to me and we'll have you settled in your room soon there after. Hope you can understand that we had to adopt these new policies due to ongoing events last year, and I assure you everyone here went through the same process fairly. Hope to hear from you soon Effy, and have a good day.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *sneezes* Ugh... I hate spring...
Bert: *blows nose* Me too...
Ernie: *walks in from playing outside* Oh boy, I just love spring!

Ernie: Still not feeling well you guys?
Bert: *stuffy nose* What does it look like, Ernie?
Ernie: It looks like your nose is running, you better go catch it. Khekhekhe.
Bert: *moans* Ernie... please, we're sick.
Ernie: I'm sorry Bert... is there anything I could do for you guys?
Ryan: *sniffs* I'd love a grilled cheese sandwich... don't know why, but it sounds good.
Bert: *blows nose again* Yeah, and some nice warm oatmeal would be great Ernie. Not too much cinnamon though, okay?
Ernie: You got it guys. You just sit here and watch some 'Fraggle Rock', okay?
Ryan: Thanks Ernie. Oh boy... I just love grilled cheese.
Rizzo: Did somebody say grilled cheese?
Ryan: No. No I didn't. Now sit down and watch Fraggle Rock.

Sal Manilla: I'm almost finished Johnny.. just have to hang up this last pair of pants in your closet, and I can get started on lunch.
Randall: What're you guys having today?
Sal: I was thinking about banana bread and breakfast sausage steaks.
Randall: That does sound good.. can I help?
Johnny: Of course.. the more people cooking, the sooner I get to eat.
Sal: You eatin' Don?
Don Music: Banana bread and sausage?
Sal nods.
Don: (goes back to reading) You guys are so strange...

[The Count]

*Cart parked outside Room #25 waits for Ernie to find it and bring it inside. Its contents include a bowl of warm oatmeal with a pinch of cinnamon and a sprinkling of raisins, two stacks of grilled cheese sandwiches, a tumbler of lemon tea, and a couple of pecan muffins (the big ones that you can cut up and share with friends). Get well soon Ryan and Bert, know what it feels like after being sick myself last weekend.

[theprawncracker]

Ernie: Well, I'm off to get the cinnamon, I'll be back in a bit! *opens door* ...I got the cinnamon!
Rizzo: D'at was- Sweet mother Mary! Look at all this FOOD! *dives onto cart*
Ryan: *looks up* Aww, that Ed is too much. Uncle Deadly, why don't you go give him me and Bert's sincerest thanks.
Uncle Deadly: Of course my fiend.*slips off*
Ryan: *grabs grilled cheese* Yummy!
Bert: *grabs oatmeal* You can say that again!
Rizzo: Yummy!
Ryan: Sheesh.

[The Count]

Hello, dorms management team here yet again.

Seems we have good cause to celebrate today, the fourth day of the fourth month of the year...
Count: Two 4's!
Anyway... Today's a double birthday and we'll celebrate it in usual MC Dorms fashion. So who is it this time? Glad you asked. *Checks birthday list.
Oh, it's Lou Fraggle, she's a sweet Fraggle who lives with Kate upstairs on the third floor in Room #38.
*Checks list again. And that little blue weirdo who lives with Ryan in Room #25. No, I meanGonzo the Great, he happens to share his birthday with that young Fraggle.

If you have any questions about party preparations, please consult their roomies or myself. Thanks and happy B-Day Gonzo and Lou!
Count: Two birthday's on the same day... Two plus two makes 4! I love math too!

[The Count]

*Knocks on Room #25's door... Ryan? Prawny? Everything OK in there? Just wondering if you've got things ready for Gonzo's B-day party. LMK if you need any help. Take care buddy.
*Walks away back to go and nag some other authors to update their stories.

[anytimepally]

Johnny Fiama: Gonzo?
Randall: Yeah, it's his birthday.
Johnny: That guy is one weird cat.
Sal Manilla: He's not a cat, Johnny.. he's a ..umm.. a.. you know.. (shrugs) whatever.
Don Music: And you guys are sure he's going to like a vat of pudding?
Randall: If you knew him better, you'd understand.. he's an artiste. There're a thousand things he could do with a vat of pudding.
Sal: Yeah, like eat it!
Randall: Sal, stop eating Gonzo's pudding!
(Sal wipes stray pudding from his mouth)
Sal: Sorry.

Randall: Now, where did I put Lou's quilt?
Don: Why do you have Lou's quilt?
Randall: No, no, Don.. I didn't take her quilt.. it's her birthday, too. We got her a quilt.. my grandmother sewed it.
Don: TWO birthdays?
I nod.
Don: Today's a great day for birthdays.

[theprawncracker]

Clifford: Ry... man, you do know that today is Gonzo's birthday... right?
Ryan: Yup.
Clifford: And you do know that he and Camilla are due back any minute now, right?
Ryan: Yup.
Clifford: And you do know that you don't have anything ready for the party, right?
Ryan: Wrong.
Clifford: Wha'?
Ryan: Watch this. Okay, Rizzo, you can pull the rope now.
Rizzo: 'Bout time. *pulls rope and balloons, streamers, confetti, and other party things fall from the celing* Snazzy.
Ryan: And you said it was a dumb idea to install an opening in the celing.
Clifford: *mouth agape*
Ernie: Shh! They're coming!
*everyone hides*
Gonzo: *coming into room* Gee, Camilla! Look at all this stuff! I think a clown exploded in here!
Camilla: Brawk bawk bra-
*everyone jumps up* Surprise!
Gonzo: Oh, hi guys.
Bert: ...You're not surprised?
Gonzo: *shrug*
Ryan: *pats Bert's shoulder* Get used to it pal. Now, c'mon, let's party!

[Erine81981]

Telly: I've got all the presents from us fro Gonzo's b-day.

Alright Telly. I'll meet you guys over there.

Telly: Come on Herry.

Herry: *holding a hugh bucket of cream yogurt*

Grover: Do you need any help, Herry?

Herry: *grunting a bit* Uh maybe. Just open the door.

Grover: Gladly. *opens door*

FilFil and Maurices come flying through the door knocking down Herry which then spills all the cream yogurt everywhere

Grover: Oh boy.

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <sitting on bed, curled up, snug against the wall>
Robin: <hops onto bed next to Lisa> Feeling better?
Lisa: ...Better, compared to when?
Robin: ...Last night?
Lisa: Yes.
Robin: Monday?
Lisa: Yes.
Robin: An hour ago?

Robin: ...Oh. I'm sorry.
Lisa: <pats Robin> Thanks.
Robin: ...Want me to get Dr. Bob?
Lisa: NO.
Robin: <shrug> Okay...
Lisa: ...But y'know what you COULD do?
Robin: What?
Lisa: Send my regards at Gonzo's party.
Robin: ...You're not coming?
Lisa: <shakes head> I get nauseous too easily still.
Robin: ...Oh. ...Are you SURE you don't want me to get Dr. Bob?
Lisa: I'm sure. I- ...My mom made an appointment for me for Friday, with a REAL doctor.
Rowlf/Dr. Bob: <coming in> What do you mean, a REAL doctor?
Lisa: I mean, a doctor who prescribes more pills than puns.
Rowlf/Dr. Bob: Point taken. <removes Dr. Bob costume> Come on, Robin, we'd better get going... Sure you don't wanna come, Lisa?
Lisa: I'm sure... <sigh> Send Prawnie my glomps.
Rowlf: ...Robin? That'll be your job.
Robin: <salutes> Frog Scout Robin, ready to glomp! ...What's a glomp?
Lisa: Cross between a hug and a tackle.
Robin: <salutes again> Ready to glomp!
Lisa: <grins> Have a good time, guys. Where's Chef?
Rowlf: ...I think he's still locked in the closet for starting the fire.
Lisa: Fair enough.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *opens door for Rowlf and Robin* Oh, hi guy- *is glomped by Robin, falls over with Robin on top of him* Oomf... you're good at that Robin!
Ernie: *helps Ryan and Robin up* Hi guys, welcome. We've got food over here. Unless Rizzo ate it all... and we'll have some dancing in a bit. Have fun!

[Erine81981]

*heads out the door but sees the mess* Oh my gosh! What in the world happened here?

Over at in room 25.........

Grover: Uh oh. I hear Kyle.

Herry: Oh boy are we going to be in big trouble.

Telly: It was FilFil and Marice's fault.

Maurice: We didn't mean too.

FilFil: Were sorry.

Herry: It was an accident guys. Don't worry. Maybe Snuffy can suck up for us.

Grover: Good idea, Herry. We will do that when the party is over.

Telly: Then let's dance!

DJ FilFil: *pops up from behind a desk* Hey you furry, feathered or just plain skined! It's me DJ FilFil here to bring this party to a rompin stompin good time. If everyone is ready to get down. Then here is the first song! *lifts up a turn table sets it on the desk and starts playing the first song*

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: Okay guys, we ready to head to the birthday party? We've got Gonzo and Lou's gifts?
Betty Lou: Sure do!
Tosh: She's going to love these new hair ribbons. And that was a cool idea to take little Fraggle Pebbles and make them into a bracelet, Kim.
Kim: Thanks; got the idea from one of my aunts. Now, what about Gonzo's present?
Boober: Right here. *holds up a trumpet case* Why are we getting him a trumpet? I thought he already had one...
Kim: Yeah, well with the abuse that one takes I figure he's going to need a back-up or a spare, just in case. Know what I mean?
Gillis: Absolutely. I feel the same way about my batons.
Kim: Let's go, gang.
Boober: *as they leave the room* And for once, we're not going to be late!
Kim: Aw, hush with that, will you Boober?

-Kim

[Effralyo]

*Ed, Brool isn't a fraggle, he's a green fat kitty-like monster. :) *
Side note: Thanks for a warm welcome, but could you wait till next Tuesday when I can finally join and chat away more with the dorms residents? I just have no enough pocket $ for now...

[Fragglemuppet]

GRRR! I hate computers!
Wembly: *worried* What's wrong?
My computer keeps acting up! But never mind about that. Lou! Happy birthday!
Lou: Thank you! I thaught you'd forgotten!
Of course not! I could never forget about you, or any of my roommates for that matter! I've got a present for you here too! Ah, here it is.
*hands Lou gift* It's a purse with all different types of flowers from the rock painted on it.
Lou: Oh my! It's beautiful!
I thaught you'd like it. I'm glad.
Gobo: I got you this little trinket box made of painted clay with fraggle pebles on the lid. Mokey helped me make it the last time I was down at the rock.
Lou: Oh Gobo, thank you!
Wembly: Lou, I got you this wring with a crystal from the crystal cavern in it.
*noticing the surprised expression on my face* Did I do something wrong?
No, you didn't do anything wrong. If you want to give her a wring..
Wembly: It's pretty and I thaught she'd like it.
Lou: It's stunning! Thank you Wembly!*Lou takes off the wring long enough to give it to me to feel.*
Me: Wow it is really nice!\ Ya got yourrself a keeper there Lou!
Lou: What?
Never mind. Happy birthday Lou. I'm sorry I didn't plan you a big party. What do you say we crash Gonzo's? I'm sure he wouldn't mind, and we do have his presents to give him. Besides, I feel like it's been way too long since we've socialized with other members.
Gobo: Agreed.
Wembly: Agreed.Alright then; let's party!
*goes down to room 25 and knocks on the door* Hey, mind if we join you!

[Erine81981]

Telly: Me and the monsters all got you something Gonzo.

Yea and most of its on the floor in our room.

FilFil: We are really sorry Kyle.

I know you are. Don't worry about it. It was accident. *sees Kate and the fraggles* Hey there girl. Haven't seen you in a while. Hey Gobo, Wembley and Lou. Hows things goin' down at the rock?

Grover: We also got something for Lou too. *hands Lou her present*

What is it Grover?

Grover: *whispers* It is a pebble i found outside today.

*whispers* I see.

[Fragglemuppet]

Lou: Oh Grover, this is a really nice peble, thank you. Gonzo, we all got you presents. Anyway, *muddering* (Ryan's gonna love us for this.) The last time I was at the rock, II talked Healer Fraggle into giving me a used moss pack. I thaught, based on everything I'd seen and heard from you so far, that you might like it.
Wembly: This gift is from both Gobo and me. Kate took us to the Unusual Gifts For Unusual People store, and we got you this therapy band.
We figured you would find something..uh..interesting to do with it.As for me, I got you something no whatever or other weird person should be without, a genuine mettal slinky! You see the end here. Well if you like you can uncoil it and... And I probably shouldn't be giving you ideas!
Lou: Hey Kate! You know it's past midnight? It's your birthday!
Yep, that was sort of my plan. Keep on partying from one party to the next.
Fraggles: Happy birthday!
Thanks. Sorry to take attention from you Lou and Gonzo. It just sort of happened that way.

[The Count]

Hello from the dorms management team.

Well, last night's party was certainly interesting to say the least. But there's another birthday on the agenda for today. Whose? None other than that Fragglish rock 'n' roller known as Kate or Fragglemuppet to her forum friends. We'll have a party for her or if she prefers, you can leave your presents and well-wishes at her room's door, #38 up on the third floor on the other side of the common room. So happy birthday Kate and enjoy your special day.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: It is Lou's Birthday and Gonzo's Birthday

ZOE: I know, I went to the store and I got Gonzo this great magic set

BABY BEAR: Okay, and For Lou's Birthday, I got him this Digital Camera

LITTLE BIRD: So why don't we give the Birthday gifts to Lou and Gonzo!

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: So many birthdays it's hard to keep up!
Big Bird: I've been coloring lots of pictures for everyone!
Beth: That's nice Big Bird
Cookie: Me like all the birthdays, me like the cake
Red: I just like the parties
Wanda: That doesn't surprise me
Beth: Hey, it's Easter this weekend, we should make baskets for each other
Red: Ooh fun!

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: How are you likin' your gifts Gonzo?
Gonzo: They're GREAT! I've never seen so much pudding in my life!
Camilla: Brawk bawk?
Gonzo: Oh, yeah, forgot about the summer of '93.
Ryan: If I don't ask, I won't know. So I won't ask.
Rizzo: Yo, Ryan, you got a present for Kate yet?
Ryan: Oh, nuts, I knew I forgot something.
Uncle Deadly: Worry not, my fiend. I sent out Ernie and Bert to shop for gifts earlier, they should be back anytime.
Ryan: Phew, thanks Uncle D., you're a lifesaver.
Uncle Deadly: Yet I have no life myself, how odd.
Gonzo: Speaking of which! *does cannonball into pudding vat*
Clifford: You just had to say 'odd', didn't you?

[Fragglemuppet]

*gets back to the dorms after having dinner with mom* *in Miss Piggy immitation* Hellooo? Where is everybody? *in lower voice* Where is everybody?

[The Count]

*Leaves box of Doozerdust cookies with a birthday card for Lou, and a nice new sweater with a birthday card for Kate at Room #38's doorstep. Hope they like these and happy belated birthdays.

[Erine81981]

Everythings fine in room 26. Grover and Herry are at work. Maurice and FilFil are playing video games and Telly and i are cooking lunch. Just wanted to let everyone know everythings fine. Talk to ya'll later.

[theprawncracker]

Ernie: I sure hope Kate likes her present.
Ryan: I'm sure she will. It was a great idea to get her 'What's the Name of That Song?' on DVD. It's a great special.
Ernie: I just hope she likes it!
Ryan: How could she not?
Rizzo: Yo, Ryan, when's lunch?
Ryan: We already ate.
Rizzo: Ha ha, very funny.
Ryan: Heh, nothin' gets by you does it Rizzo?
Rizzo: Nope. Now when's lunch?
Ryan: I'll get on it soon.
Uncle Deadly: Don't worry about it my fiend. I shall prepare lunch, you write more of that lovely fan-fiction of yours.
Ryan: *shrug* Whatever you say.
Gonzo: Who said what about me?
Ryan: *shakes head*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: For Lou, we got a shawl spun out of Toe-Tickler cocoon silk, a music box that plays the song of the Ancient Fraggles, and a copy of "Why Everyone Should Love a Wimp."
Nora: For Kate, one shawl made from the same material, but in a silly creature's size, one set of candles with a variety of scents, and a copy of the Mayhem's greatest hits.
MN: And for Gonzo, one crash helmet, one set of decals for his motorcycle, and a biography of Evil Kneivel.
Nora: You know he's not going to use that crash helmet.
MN: Yeah, I know...but Camilla might want to make a nest in it...(starts snickering)
Storyteller: And what are you giggling about, my lady journalist?
MN: Huh...oh, right. You see, our class was holding a fundraiser for our year's gift to the school this week.
Nora: Yeah, so?
MN: Let me finish? The class council set up buckets with five professors' names and photos on them. We had to drop loose change in them...and the prof whose bucket contained the most change by the end of the week had to teach classes while wearing an Easter bunny suit today.
(Nora throws back her head and cackles)
Storyteller: Shameless!
MN: Oh, yeah, and I was in an English class with one of the profs...and a bunch of other students wanted to see him wear the suit. I think one ambitious student raised $200 independently and dropped it in. Really.
Nora: So did he get the suit?
MN: (snicker) He did. Three of us, including me, came to class with cameras, and one guy brought in a bag of carrots to share with everyone.
Storyteller: My goodness...you English majors are a vindictive lot.
MN: Come on, all the profs taking part did so of their own free will. And he was a good sport about it - in fact, he was actively encouraging us to drop change in his bucket. It was all fun.

(Yes, this did happen at MN's real-life university in the last week.)

[tvlistingman]

PETER: Another Friday Night and a Another Weekend and It is Easter

ZOE: What Should We Do

BABY BEAR: I'm thinking of doing something with Easter

FilFil ane Me: MAHNA MAHNA!!

Telly and Maurice: Do do do doo

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *drops of basket of muffins in front of Randall's room* Hope he likes 'em. Thanking him for all those awesome MP3s he's sent me.
Uncle Deadly: How nice of you, my fiend. Now get back to writing!
Ryan: *runs*

[anytimepally]

Randall: Hey, Sal.. whatcha eating, there?
Sal: (stuffing the last muffin into his mouth) Nothmming... nothing.
Randall: Riiiiiight... thanks for sharing, Sal.
Sal: Hey, somebody left some muffins in the hall, I figured they were up for grabs.. and I had to eat them before someone came looking for them. They were delicious, though!
Randall: It's ok, Sal.. I'll just peanut butter another slice of bread and get a glass of water...
Sal: Ummm...
Randall: What is it, Sal?
Sal: We're outta peanut butter.
Randall: What are you talking about?! There's a whole jar in here.
Sal: THAT'S JOHNNY FIAMA'S PEANUT BUTTER... NOT YOURS!!
Randall: Well, I guess someone shouldn't have eaten all the muffins, eh?

[The Count]

That sounds like great fun MN. Now why did you get the fun college? Oh well, at least I have my own English major BA to fall back on if this Law School gig doesn't pan out. Have a happy Easter weekend guys and gals.

[Fragglemuppet]

Say Lou? I'll be right back.
Lou: Where ya goin'?
To thank everyone for their gifts. *leaves the dorms, and comes back some time later with some packages. Goes downstairs, and leaves a tray of walnut blondies outside room 1. Then goes to room 7 with a moderate sized carot cake and a note reading:

Dear Erin, Madam Storyteller and Norah,

Thanks for all the beautiful gifts; the shall is exquisit, and I love sented candles! Lou loves everything, too.
Erin, a little bird, (maybe it was Bernice), told me about your college adventures, and I thaught a carot cake might suit you and your roomies. If bunnies made a sound I would make it here.

Happy Easter weekend,
Kate and Lou

*Next I go up to Randal's room, and leave a box of assorted muffins clearly labeled "For Randal!" and a note reading,

Dear Randal, Thanks for all the free music you've provided me and others. You're awesome! Kate

*I go back to my room.* Miss me?
Lou: Boy, you were gone a long time!
Yeah, well I had some thank you notes and things to deliver.
Lou: Ah, I see. Finished?
Yes, I think so.
Lou: Good, 'cause Wembly and I are getting kind of hungry.
You know, living here has really made you souft! Back in the rock if you were hungry, you'd start searching high and low for a doozer tower to destroy.
Wembly: Well not that high, actually. You see we're not as tall as you and...
Me: *scrunching up face* Sheesh!

[The Count]

*The door to Room #1 opens up just a crack, as a violet tinged four-fingered hand reaches out and snatches up the pack of walnut blondies, dragging it back inside before anyone notices.

Thanks Kate, these are tré delicious.

[Fragglemuppet]

*passing by Ed's room* Thaught you'd like 'em. Hmmm, wonder if Randal actually got to enjoy any of his muffins last night. Surely with all that variety there was one Sal didn't like. Oh well, with all Johnny puts Sal through, he deserves a treat.

[anytimepally]

Johnny: What is that, Sal? An early Easter basket?
Sal: No, Johnny.. it's a basket of muffins.. or it was.. there's only one left now. They seem to pop up all the time recently!
Johnny: (grabbing the muffin) Hey, thanks Sal, I am hungry.
Sal: Actually, Johnny, I was saving that for Randall.. he was kinda sore that I ate all of the last basket.
Johnny: (eating the muffin) He'll live.

Randall: (entering the room) Hey guys! what's u.. Sal? Did you eat another basket of muffins?
Sal: No, not this time.
Randall: Well, I've got the note right here.. and I don't see any muffins.
Sal: Well, I mean, I ate them but Johnny helped! They were delicious, if that helps.
Randall: It doesn't. You should at least go down the hall and thank Kate for them.
Sal: Oh, I did! I left a pack of bananas as big as me.. even took some down for Ryan and the guys in room 25 for the muffins they dropped by the other day.
Don: (excitiedly) So, that's why there are banans in the hall!.. (suddenly depressed) I was hoping the circus was in town..
Johnny: The circus is in town, isn't it?
Randall: Yeah.. you guys want to go?
Don: Of course! I'll get my going-into-town suit out.. ooohh, I'm so exicited! A circus and Easter in the same weekend.. it's as if they knew Don Music was in town, and they're celebrating the occaision!

(as we're leaving)
Sal: You know, I had a cousin once that worked in a circus.
Johnny: Sal, a organ grinder is not a real circus act.
Don: You had a cousin who was an organ grinder?
Sal: No, he was a monkey.

[Erine81981]

Delivery Monster Grover: *knocks on Randall's door* Hello there sir. I am the delivery monster who loves to deliver stuff to people. Being that it is my job i do around here. So here you go. From room 26 a basket of muffins, cookies and cupcakes. Now enjoy these cute little desserts for all the music you have gave us. Bye bye. *runs off*

[Ruahnna]

Fozzie: (mumbling around a mouthful of hot roll) Theesh are good. Canth I haf another one with butther and honey?
Catherine: Don't talk with your mouth full. But, yes. You may.
Kerimt: That's a nice shiny new stove you got there, Catherine.
Catherine: (thrilled) I know! It took them ten days to deliver it and install it, but it's here now! I'm so excited!
Piggy: Will it cook better than the old stove?
Catherine: You tell me. I'll be putting lasagna on the table in, um, 20 minutes. How's that?
(There is no response but drooling.)
Catherine: (laughing) Run along, run along. I'll call you.

[Katzi428]

Grrrrrrrrr.....:grouchy:
Prairie:What's wrong,Kath?
Writers' block.Prairie...I had all sorts of good ideas when I started this thing!Now it seems like they're practically lost!:rolleyes:

sigh I guess you're right.
Prairie:I know I'm right. It's supposed to be chilly tonight,so maybe Gaffer'll cuddle up with you.

Prairie:Nite Kath....sweet dreams.

When all the world's asleep

Fozzie is having a doze
No honkers honking his nose
Can't hear a sound no one's around
'Cause it's sleepytime at Muppet Dorms

*sax solo*

Bert and Ernie's on a journey
Into the land of dreams
But i'm singing and a swinging
Under those bright moon beams

The world is taking a break
But i've got music to make
I'm happy staying away
'Cause it's sleepytime....
I said sleepytime.....

Whooooa! Slee-py-time
At the Muppet Dorms! Yeah!

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Well, Easter is done for another year!
Red: We've got lots of candy though
Cookie: Me like the candy
Wanda: Just make sure you share
Cookie: Me will share
Big Bird: I had fun coloring eggs. I wish I could save one for Bryan
Beth: Unfortunately I think the egg would spoil. We can save him some candy though
Big Bird: That sounds good
Wanda: How about a couple of these plastic eggs too?
Beth: That's a great idea!

[The Count]

*Note from management. Hi guys, my home computer's on the fritz for the time being, I'm at my school computer. So I trust you'll watch out after each other in my absence. Have a good time at the MC Dorms.

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: So why are we here?
Rizzo: *carrying a basket of muffins* Got me. I just know d'at d'ese muffins look great.
Gonzo: I think that's why we're here. To deliver muffins.
Rizzo: Oh. So... so I can't eat any?
Gonzo: No, Rizzo, you can't eat any.
Rizzo: Figures. So where are we takin' d'ese t'ings?
Gonzo: *shrugs* Beats me. When I asked Ryan, he just said 'anytimepally'. And when I asked 'Any time what?' He said 'Randall.'
Rizzo: *shakes head* Why do we live with such a weirdo?
Gonzo: Because he doesn't make us pay rent.
Rizzo: Oh, right.

[anytimepally]

Randall: Hey guys.. where's Sal? .. It's awfully late for him to be out on a weeknight.
Johnny: He's.. um.. seeing a man about a horse. Or something.
Randall: You mean, he's in the bathroom?
Dan: Yeah, he's been in there all day.. well, all evening anyway.
Randall: (smiling) Hehe.. that's what he gets for eating all the muffins!

[theprawncracker]

Rizzo: Hey, Gonzo, look! D'ere's Sal! Maybe he can help us.
Gonzo: Hi Sal. We've got these muffins here and- ...that's strange, he just ran off.
Rizzo: Towards the bathroom, it looks like.
Gonzo: Huh, guess he doesn't like muffins.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: Hey

ZOE: How was Boston

PETER: It was good

BABY BEAR: Where did you Go

PETER: The BPL to get some Chicago Tribune Saturday TV Skeds from 1972-91.

LITTLE BIRD: Wow, and then what did you do

PETER: Go to the Science Museum

ZOE: Awesome, Your birthday is in 2 days

PETER: Yes, I'm going to turn 21

LITTLE BIRD: The Big 2-1, say why don't we go to everybody Eats and then go to Wal-Mart to get a surprise birthday gift

BABY BEAR: No Peeking, Peter

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Was that Erin I saw collapsing on the sofa, clutching her head?
Nora: Yeah, the profs are really starting to pile on the major projects.
Storyteller: Oh, oh...let me guess, Erin, you've got a tension headache.
MN: Are you kidding, I've had a tension headache for the last three weeks.
Storyteller: Tsk. Those whip-cracking scoundrels. Take some bonkleberry tea, it'll help your head.

[Erine81981]

Well guys glad that my friends and his family let us hang with them on Easter Sunday.

Grover: Your freinds are very nice.

Telly: Very nice. I love Misty. She even has a favorites characters.

You mean "SpoungeBob?"

Telly: Yep. Her's is square tho while "TriangleBob" is has triangles about him.

Herry: How many eggs did you find FilFil?

FilFil: Not much but Maurice found lots.

Maurice: *over on the floor* Lots of eggggs! *crazy look on his face*

Is he going to be ok?

Herry: He should but he has done this before.

Everyone looks at Maurice on the floor playing with all of his eggs

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *yawns* What a long day...
Bert: You can say that again.
Rizzo: What a long day.
Ryan: I wonder how many times we can use that gag before it stops being funny.
Uncle Deadly: Trust me, it's already dead.
Ryan: Figured as much. Well gang, I'm off to bed, I'm exhausted. See you all tomorrow.
Ernie: Good night, Ryan!
Ryan: Night Ernie, night everybody.

[Erine81981]

I'm heading on to bed. I'll see ya'll tomorrow morning. Good night.

Telly: Good night. Me and FilFil are staying up late.

Alright guys. Everyone else is asleep. So try and keep it down tonight.

FilFil and Telly: Alright.

Telly: What are we watching tonight?

FilFil: What about Ducktales vol 2?

Telly: Ok. *puts in the DVD*

As the camrea pulls back from the window a we hear Oscar voice talking about the letter and number of the day. "Today was brought to you by the letter "M" for muffins and by the number "0" since no Randall hasn't been able to getting any muffins. Keep up the good work Sal. Eat them all. Muppet Dorms has been a production of the Muppet Central Workshop. Have a rotten dream. Heh heh heh heh heh......"

[The Count]

Rotten dream? Yeah, had that, problem is I keep with it though I know it's a bad dream. Oh well, at least there's MC to help me get back on trac. Talk to you guys later.

[redBoobergurl]

Wanda: Um, Beth? Were you going to finish the story about me and Rowlf? I kind of want to know what the wedding is like
Beth: Oh! Yeah, I've just had a crazy week. I promise, it's coming
Big Bird: Are you really going to marry Rowlf Wanda?
Wanda: Oh, um, well, it's just a story
Big Bird: Oh *sounds dissapointed*
Wanda: But maybe someday
Big Bird: If you do, can I come?
Wanda: Of course Big Bird, I wouldn't let you miss it
Big Bird: Yea!
Beth: Anyway, hopefully I'll get to it today, if not, well, soon
Wanda: Sounds good

[The Count]

Yeah... Kind of waiting for that part of the story meself as well. And I know aboutthe pressures of "life" and posting fanfic. Heck, I'm at another one of those "I don't know's". But as for Hensonville, the next chapter will advance the plot a few years and introduce three familiar faces. Hope to get it posted soonerishkibbible, and maybe something else sorted out.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

MN: (sinks down into sofa) Another long day and night.
Storyteller: Ah, cheer up, it's Wednesday. Weekend's not far away.
MN: Neither are the deadlines.
Nora: And I've just been saddled with a huge paper on the writers of the Lost Generation. Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Stein...all the big names.
Storyteller: Goodness...(starts to write) The silly creatures who are called 'professors' take a savage delight in loading their young charges with lengthy papers and exams twice a year, once before the summer and again right before the winter holidays...
MN: Hoo, yeah, savage is right. What do you call having to write a 12-15 page paper for history, complete with a 25-source annotated bibliography?
Nora: Sheer torture.
MN: Yeah, even my English professors think that's horrendous. (gets up) I'm in need of a snack. A plate of lemon cookies and a mug of tea. (goes into kitchen; returns several minutes later with a plate of cookies and a brewed pot of Lady Grey)
Nora: I'll join you in some of that.
Storyteller: Same here. (all start to sip and munch)
MN: You know, it's a shame that people aren't as big on afternoon (or evening) tea here as they are in England.
Nora: I know...if we could take a break at four and have tea and scones each day, we'd all be a lot less harried.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *lying motionless on bed*
Rizzo: And you say d'is happens often?
Gonzo: Only when he's overloaded himself studying for a test.
Rizzo: Oh, I see. And we just leave him?
Gonzo: Yup.
Rizzo: Nice system.

[tvlistingman]

LITTLE BIRD, BABY BEAR AND ZOE: HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY PETER!!!

PETER: Well, Thank You

ZOE: We Got You the Brady Bunch DVD Set

PETER: Thank You

LITTLE BIRD: The Brady Bunch

BABY BEAR: And We Baked you a Cake

PETER: Thanks, I'm going to have a Sunshine-Y DAY!

[The Count]

Hello from the dorms management team.

Sorry for not reporting this yesterday but April 12 was Peter's birthday. If you want to hold a party for him this weekend, that'd be OK with me. Or if you just wish to leave him a card and a present, please do so at Room #27's doorstep. Hope this is OK and have a great day today.

After all, it's Friday the 13th! *Evil laughter can be heard through the halls.

[Skeeter Muppet]

Boober: W-what was that?
Kim: Oh, just Ed's evil laughter in celebration of today being Friday the 13th.
Boober: F-F-F-Friday the 13th?!?!? *dives under his blanket* No one bother me! I'm not coming out!
Kim: *facepalms* Here we go again...

-Kim

[The Count]

*Leaves blackened four-leaf clover underneath Room #19's door to help soothe Boober's nerves.

[Erine81981]

Herry: Today is one creepy day.

FilFil: Why's that?

Maurice: It's.....*glup*....friday the 13th.

FilFil: Firday the 13th?

Everyone makes it seem to be a bad day but's not. So i wouldn't worry FilFil.

FilFil: Since i had never heard anything bad i'll be just fine.

Telly: *comes running out of bathroom* I just broke my glass triangle. Were all doomed! Everyone rub a rabbit's foot or keep a horse shoe. Anyone have any of that stuff to keep us safe?

Uh Telly it's not the end of the world.

Telly: That's what they want you to think. We're DOOMED! *runs out the door to find those lucky things*

FilFil: Poor Telly.

Herry: Don't worry he'll be fine.

[redBoobergurl]

*Big Bird comes in with a football helmet on*
Red: What's the helmet for Big Bird?
Big Bird: It's Friday the 13th and all sorts of wacky stuff is going on
Red: And the helmet will protect you from what?
Big Bird: Anything! You never know what could happen!
Red: I think you've been living with Telly too long

[Erine81981]

Telly: *runs into Beth's room right into Big Bird* I am so glad i found you. You do know what da....*sees Big Bird's helment*....good. You do know what day it is. I just wanted to warn you. You two might want to take after Big Bird and do the same. By the way, do any of ya'll have a rabbits foot or a horse shoe?

[theprawncracker]

Bert: Well, it looks like we all survived Friday the 13th unscathed.
Rizzo: Not all of us. *points to stunned Ryan*
Gonzo: What happened to him?
Camilla: Brawk byuck bragawk.
Clifford: Yeah man, he didn't get in till almost midnight.
Uncle Deadly: Indeed, and he was just as stunned then, if not more so.
Ryan: ...The lights... I wasn't speeding... okay, but not much... and I didn't know my headlight was out... DON'T ARREST ME!
Ernie: ...Anyone wanna go play outside?
Rizzo: Duh.
Clifford: Yeah dude, let's get outta here.
Uncle Deadly: Indeed.
Gonzo: Wait for me!
Camilla: Brawk!
Bert: *left alone* Uh, Ryan?
Ryan: AHHHHHHHH!!!
Bert: *runs out*

[Fragglemuppet]

*nearly crashes into Bigbird while walking in the hallway* Oops, sorry Bigbird! Hey, I was hoping I'd see you! Did Beth tell you that I saw Bryan yesterday? I went to his show, and afterward I got to talk to him for a few minutes. He's having fun, but to tell the truth he seemed a bit lonely. I can tell he misses you. He told me to tell all of you guys hi for him. Well, I'll see you later; I've got a couple of papers for class I'm working on. *takes the elevator upstairs and walks into room*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: TWO HOURS! TWO HOURS LEFT!
Bert: What's up with him?
Rizzo: Beats me, he's just been runnin' around like d'is all afternoon, talkin' about Animal and cash, and such.
Clifford: And he's been on eBay again.
Uncle Deadly: That explains it. Someone dust off a spot on the action figure shelf.
Ernie: *scratches head*
Gonzo: You get used to it.

[The Count]

Hey Ryan... Which figure you after? Been watching the Dodgers and Padres game tonight, on Jackie Robinson Day, it's been rully interesting to me with all the interviews and stories from back in the day.

Been meaning to fill in a few spots to complete my collection, but I'm leaving that for the summer. Concentrating on school stuff and other pursuits like getting the woodworker for my double-shelving unit. Not to mention there's that Sesame Street set Ken's got, ahefty investment will have to be decided upon should I go after that one. We'll see what happens and good luck buddy.

[anytimepally]

Johnny: Whatcha doin' there, guys?
Randall: Watching baseball, Johnny.. Frank Robinson was just on.. one of my all-time favorite players. And Dave Winfield's on in a minute.. I grew up watching him.
Sal: Why not join us, Johnny?
Don: Yeah, it's the national pastime, you know. And if Don Music enjoys it, everyone should.
Johnny: Eh.. I'm more of a hockey fan myself.. the Devil's play today?
Sal: I dunno, Johnny.. you want I should run out for a newspaper and check?
Johnny: (shakes his head) Nah, I'll check in the morning.. you got any food with the game?
Don: Yeah, we got chips and salsa and ice cream and all kinds of snacky foods.
Johnny: Ok, then. I'm in.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Rizzo: Aw no...
Uncle Deadly: Sounds like he did it.
Ryan: *runs down to room 1* Ed! Ed! Ed! I won! I won! I won! The Electric Mayhem Stage Playset!! *dances* My regular series collection, sans variants, is completed!!

[The Count]

Ah... Hockey, and what's more, Playoff Hockey! Too bad there's virtually no TV coverage of it though, I love playoff hockey, especially for the possitbility of the marathon games.
To quote a fiend of mine... Sudden Death, my favorite part of the game!
Count: Yes, games that last into 1, 2, 3 in the morning!

Bummed that the Maple Leafs aren't in this year... But at least the Detroit Redwings are up 2-0 on Calgary. Those flames will get snuffed out by the redwing dragons in no time. And it looks like the NY Rangers'll win a series for the first time in a long time.

[The Count]

*Approves. Glad to hear it. That reminds me, there's a section of piping on the front of my set that needs glueing. You need to be careful with the little stagelights, there are six of them and the hooks that allow them to latch on to the stage's rigging can snap off. That's why I've got four left. And you need to be careful when checking Animal's wrist and ankle articulation, those can break off too. But the eyebrow articulation's cool, you need to use your fingers to get that one to move up or down. Sorry if I sound preachy about it, just dwelling on past experiences to make sure you don't go through the same thing. Though my original playset Animal figure suffered a disarming injury or two, Ken stepped in with a great replacement.

Oh, and congrats... If we're talking about the fifty figures that make up the ten regular series, sans variants with the lone exception of the two differently-painted Frog Scouts that came with the FSL Kermit figures, then that part of my collection's complete too. Course, the Mini Muppets, Special Exclusives (Wedding of the Century and Jim Henson Muppet), and Industry Exclusives portion of the collection are complete in my collection too. And I've got a lot of the variants kept MOC/MIB.
*Opens closet so Prawny can see the band and other repaints tucked neatly in rows on the lower rack.

(Catherine walks through the door and drops her bags. She is immediately glommed by an enthusiastic Fozzie, who comes and throws his furry arms around her waist.)
Fozzie: You're home! You're home!
Catherine: (patting Fozzie warmly on the back and removing his hat so she can kiss the top of his head fondly) Hi Fozzie! I missed you too!
(Fozzie starts to carry the suitcase but finds it impossible to lift. Catherine laughs and hefts it with difficulty, staggering down the short hallway to deposit it in her room.) There--I'll unpack later. I'm bushed. (They flop into the two lime-green tweed recliners.) How have things been while I've been gone?
Fozzie: Okay. We stayed with Layla, and she's nice. She cooks for us and everything.
Catherine: Where are Kermit and Piggy? Out on a date?
Fozzie: Nope--Kermit's cramming for a final in "How to Handle Irate Guest Stars."
Catherine: And Piggy?
Fozzie: (after looking around carefully) Probably just cramming. She had a killer day yesterday--two department store openings and a ribbon-cutting ceremony. I think she went out with some of the gang for ice cream.
Catherine: (anxiously) I didn't know Piggy had three gigs yesterday.
Fozzie: Well, technically, she had two. The second department store opening had something to do with a pair of red shoes....
Catherine: Ice cream, huh?
Fozzie: (brightening) Yeah--wanno go see if we can join them?
Catherine: Sounds like a plan.

[BEAR]

(It's a nice quiet night. Big Bird is all tucked into his nest for the night and he says goodnight to Beth who turns out the light. He is looking up out the basement room window at the night sky and a single bright star catches his eye.)

Big Bird: One little star, all alone in the sky
Do you ever get lonely as the twilight drifts by?

(Sitting on a sandy Florida beach watching the night sky...)
Bry: One little star, in the darkening blue
Do you long for another just the way that I do?

(Ernie and Bert, both in pajamas, are gazing out Ryan's window)
Ernie: Sky begins to fill;
Bert: Darkness ends the day
Both (harmonizing): Someone who I love is far away.
(Ernie rests his head in his hand while Bert pats him on the back)

Bry: One little star, reaching far through the night
Do you shine on my someone? Are we sharing your light?
Oh, one little star, shine on us both tonight.

Big Bird (speaking): Gosh, Bryan hasn't written in so long. I really miss him. I wonder what he's doing right now.

One little star (Bry/Bert/Ernie: one little star)
Reaching far through the night (Bry/Bert/Ernie: reaching far through the night)
Would you shine on my someone (Bry/Bert/Ernie: shine on my someone)
So we're sharing your light? (Bry/Bert/Ernie: please, share your light)

ALL: Oh, one little star, shine on us all tonight.

(Big Bird tucks his beak into his chest and drifts off to sleep, dreaming of the day he gets to see his friend again)

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Hey guys, I've got a postcard from Bryan!
Big Bird: Wow! I was just thinking about him last night!
Beth: Well this is great timing then!
Red: Read the card!
Cookie: Yeah, me want to know how he doing too
Wanda: What's it say Beth?
*they all gather around and Beth reads the card talking about Bryan's experience in New York*
Big Bird: Wow, I can't wait to see the umbrella he got, that sounds neat!
Wanda: Thanks for reading that
Red: Yeah, it's neat to hear about his travels.
Cookie: You think he had cookies in Big Apple?
Beth: I'm sure he did Cookie Monster, come on guys, let's eat, I'm hungry

[The Count]

Huh... Imagine that, Red actually interested in reading someone's postcards about their travels in outer space. Oh well, you learn something new every ay.

[Erine81981]

Telly: *comes running in* Beth hear from Bryan again. It's so cool to hear from our roomie and buddy. He said he's doing fine and well and that he'll be home as soon as he can. I am so happy! *laughs goes to his room*

Glad to alway see Telly happy. So Grover hows the campain going?

Grover: It is going just fine. Herry and Cookie are helping me in it.

Telly: I'm going to have to come and vote for you.

I've been needing too. Just haven't had time.

Herry: I sure do love helping as much as Grover does. I sure do hope he wins.

Grover: I hope so too Herry but if i do not i will not worry. Everyone here are freinds and not enemies.

Good to hear that.

Herry: Just hope no one tries to blow anything up.

Crazy Harry: Did someone say "blow up?" *sets off his dymite which blows a up some of our dishes* *laughs and runs away*

Telly: *runs out of room* What was that?

Crazy Harry blew up some of our dishes and stuff.

Telly: *whew* I thought i was thinking to much of triangles. *walks back into the room*

[The Count]

Hey Telly... If you haven't voted for Muppet 2007 President yet... Then you might want to lend your support to Miss Piggy and Catherine. After all, she'll make sure that we all look good and the nation runs smoothly. Besides, pink and purplish and red Muppets need to stick together. So see if FilFil would want to vote for her too.

[Erine81981]

Telly: Sounds good to me Ed. I'll see if i can find FilFil. I'll see you later Kyle. I'm going to go vote and see if i can find FilFil.

Ok. Oh and i think FilFil might be somewhere down at the park. He and Maurice went to go feed the birds. Be careful.

Telly: Ok. *puts on rollarskates and rolls out* Weeeeeeeeee......

[The Count]

*Watches Telly ride off... Heh, he's a good monster, glad he's bunking with Kyle while Bryan's gone on his tour.
Mee-mee-mee-meep-meep... *Scatting a little tune.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: Boy I had a Great Birthday

LITTLE BIRD: Yes you do with That Little Party

ZOE: What should we do Tomorrow

BABY BEAR: In Celebration of our Birthday, Tomorrow we are Going to plan a 21st Birthday at Birdland

PETER: Good Idea

BABY BEAR: I'm going to Call Ed on that, Okay

ZOE: Just go for it!

[Fragglemuppet]

Me: *whining* I'm booored!
Lou: Don't you think you should be working on your homework?
I should be.
Lou: Aren't you worried about all you have to do?
A little, but my stress levil is admittedly too low.
*A minute goes by.* *Suddenly, I hear an ear-percing sound and jump a bit.*
What was that?
Wembly: That was my siren for the Fraggle Rock Volunteer Fire Department. I figured maybe it would give your stress levil a little boost.
Sheesh, you're hanging out with Gonzo too much!

[Erine81981]

Telly: We're back.

What took ya'll so long?

Telly: FilFil and Maurice had to vote too and then it was like a domino effect.

Maurice: All the other monsters started voting for Miss Piggy.

FilFil: It was strange.

Telly: Very strange. *thinks* What if Grover doens't get all the votes he needs? What if he doesn't get picked to be president? Oh no! I've done something wrong!

It's alright Telly. Don't worry. If those monsters wanted to voite for Miss Piggy or Grover it's alright. We won't know of anything till the whole thing is over.

Oscar: *pops up from behind the couch* What's is all that racket?

Telly: Oh Oscar. *goes over to him and lays his head on him* We have to help Grover win the election.

Oscar: Why would i do that? I'm a grouch.

FilFil: But you could help in some way.

Oscar: What? What is it you don't understand. Why would i want to help that furry blue rug?

Maurice: It's just to help Grover get elected for president.

Oscar: What do you want me to do? Go vote for him?

Telly: *light bulb clicks* That's it! Oscar can go vote for Grover.

Oscar: Oh no. I'm not going to vote for anyone. I hate voting. I even hate voting for other grouches.

Oh come on Oscar. Maybe Grover will do something for you.

Oscar: What? I don't want anyone doing anything for me!

Telly: Grab him boys!

FilFil and Me grab Oscar and go to the voting place

Oscar: What are you doing? Let me go!

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *yawns* Ugh, I do not want to rewrite this essay.
Gonzo: It's not due until the 24th.
Ryan: This is true. So I guess I can do it later.
Gonzo: Yup!
Ryan: Well... what do I do now?
Gonzo: We can play exploding sock dodgeball!
Ryan: ...I think I'll just turn in early.
Gonzo: *shrug* Suit yourself.

[Katzi428]

Prairie:Uh Kathy?Me and Rosita need to talk to you.
Sure,girls.You're not mad at me are you?
Rosita:No.But we know someone that will be mad at us if we don't vote for them.
Prairie:Mad enough to knock us into the middle of next week if you know what we mean.
Ah...I understand.Well,in my opinion,this candidate might be just all talk and no action.I know who you're talking about,by the way.;) Stick to who you were originally going to vote for.
Rosita:Who did youvote for,Kathy?
The Swedish Chef!
Prairie:KATHY!You did not!He's not running and you know it!
Prairie, votes are supposed to be kept secret. You'll find out when the elections are over. By the way,you're right about me not voting for the Chef and him not running.
Rosita:Thought so.

[The Count]

Actually... You can divulge the person in an election (is that what you meant when you said "ekections"?) if you wish to do so, the secrecy of your vote is intended so as not to compell you to divulge the name of the candidate you voted for if you don't want to do so. It's all up to you Kath.
And Ryan, don't you have a fanfic that's in need of updating? Well, I'll let Uncle Deadly take care of that.

*Goes off to brush teeth and go to sleep. Got an early wake-up call tomorrow, good night guys and gals.

[anytimepally]

Randall: Hey Johnny, the Devil's lost!
Johnny: Yeah, I know but the guys'll come back next game.
Randall: I'm rooting for the Sabres myself.. although, I wasn't really a hockey fan until the 98 Olympics when Dominik Hasek carried the Czech Republic to the gold medal.. after that, I became a Sabres fan because that's where he played.. now he's in Detroit, so I'm kinda rooting for them in the west.
Sal: Yeah, Johnny, doze Sabres won today.. maybe you should switch teams.
Johnny: And root against Jersey? Are you crazy?! Come'on.. Ma would have a stroke, Sal!
Sal: Oh, yeah Johnny.. I forgot.. we haven't been living dere for so long now.. All Right, you Devil's LISTEN UP! I know youse guys can hear me.. start winning some hockey games so's Johnny Fiama don't lose his shirt to Low-Key Joe at the casino like last year!
Johnny: (nudging Sal at the mention of gambling) All right.. that's enough there, Sal.
Sal: Sorry Johnny.
Don: Gambling is bad, Johnny.. very bad.
Johnny: You're losing, too, eh?
Don: (nods) More than I can afford.

[Effralyo]

*Heads to the one of the common rooms talking to Zeliboba*
Me: ...you'll definitely like them, darling! Especially Clifford. And Floyd! I'm sure Teeth will agree to take you to the scene at least one time...
Zel: And what about the cake? It'll be the blackberry one?
Me: I'll talk to Swedish Chef, okay? Or, we can drop into that bakery with Janice. Later...
Zel: Whaaaw!

[The Count]

*Grabs the key to Room #21 from the backwall behind the lobby's desk. Julia? Now where did she go?
*Walks past the sets of double doors and finds her and her roommates in Floor 2's common room. Oh there you are. Nice to meet you. This particular common room has a few special features: though there's a trashcan in the left back corner of each common room, this one is where Oscar the Grouch lives; and the Old World furnace in the right back corner holds the elevator we use to get from floor to floor.

Come on, your room's this way. We just need to walk out of the common room into the main hallway and turn to our left... It'll take a while... Ah, here we are, last door down on our left.

*Hands key to Julia. You've got neighbors to your right in Room #19, Kim and Betty Lou and a group of Fraggles, and then there's Catherine with Kermit and Piggy and Fozzie in Room #20 diagonally to the right across from your room.

If you need any help settling in, LMK and I'll try to do my best to help you. Welcome to the MC Dorms and have a great day.

Rosita:They do?
Yes they do. Dean Chapman wouldn't let any idiots in here,and you know that Ed and The Count have things safe.All of us take care of each other.
Rosita nodding You're right. I guess I just got so scared though.
That's okay. You're allowed to be. But that maniac is not going to come here.
Rosita:breathing a sigh of reliefThat's good. What happened to your face?
Well..you punched my cheek when I was trying to wake you up from that nightmare.
Rosita:Oh NO! :eek: Kathy,I'm sorry!
Don't worry about it. It's not broken. You sure have some left hook, though, Senorita!
Rosita:Left hook?
Left hand to punch with.
Rosita:Oh. giggling a bit I guess I do,huh?
Yeah,you do.C'mon...let's go meet Prairie downtown and we'll have dinner at Everybody Eats.

[The Count]

Count: Don't vorry, I'll look after Gaffer for you vhile you go have dinner with Prairie. *Softly: Rosita, that killer von't come here... At least not that person specifically, to punctuate vhat he had done, he killed himself as vell. It upsets us too, every time ve think this senseless school shooting thing has become something that ve can look back on learning from our past, a new one takes place. Dredful stuff, and I hope Catherine's OK since ve haven't heard from her lately.
*In normal tones: But I don't vant to vorry you girls. Go and have a good time with Prairie, maybe ve'll join you at Everybody Eats as soon as Ed gets home.

*Waves them off hoping Rosita will be fine after her bad dream.

[The Count]

Later that night at Everybody Eats... Kathy? Where she'd say...
The Count spots Prairie waving them over and guides Ed to their table.

Oh hi... Thought you and the girls might like some company for dinner. Nice of Beth to watchover the cats while we're dining out tonight. So did you order anything yet?

Hankering for some good meatloaf with baby carrots and mashed potatoes, with some good ol' Sprite.
Count: Mmm, think I'll have a bowl of goulash vith garlic bread and ask for a side order of cold bat's claw cole slaw, with a glass of iced tea.
Oh and Rosita, I hope you're feeling better after that bad dream you had. Know that Dean Chapman wouldn't allow anyone like that on campus. Plus, security at the dorms is pretty OK, if any undesirables tread ground there we try to deal with them swiftly. But let's just enjoy the meal and put those kinds of thoughts away for now.
*Hears a faint giggle from Prairie, decides to just let Kathy steer the flow of conversation.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *collapses into armchair*
Clifford: Tired, dude?
Ryan: Wiped.
Clifford: Heh, poor guy. Long day?
Ryan: Not really... I just totally killed myself in P.E. trying to get bonus points.
Clifford: ...Why?
Ryan: *shrug* Seemed like a smart thing to do at the time. But now... ugh.
Clifford: Perk up dude. Week's almost half over.
Ryan: Almost being the key word there my friend.
Clifford: Heh heh. Well, I don't think anyone would mind if you just went on to bed.
Ryan: *yawns* I'm sure Uncle D. and Ed would. I do have a fan-fic going ya know.
Clifford: Yeah, I know. But still, a Prawn's gotta sleep baby.
Ryan: Like a baby... which sounds super good. Night Cliff.
Clifford: Night Ry, sleep tight.

So Prairie...how was work?
Prairie:Oh...it was OK. Everyone was talking about the..
I give her a look and Prairie continues:
Prairie:...weird weather we've been having.
Rosita:I'm OK now Ed.It just scared me.
Prairie:We'll be OK Rosita. Mmmm...this lasagna I'm having is tasty!
Gonna save some for Gaffer?
Prairie:Yeah..some. How's your burrito,Kath?
It's good!Did I tell you all that I'm going to a Mexican restaurant for my birthday?They have delicious burritos there!
Rosita:Oh yeah! I knew there was a special day coming up!
Remind me to thank Beth for watching Gaffer for us,Ed.

[Erine81981]

Telly: I heard Rostia was having a nightmare about what happed.

I know. It makes me upset for this stuff that happens out there in the world. I try not to think about it. I hate to talk about that stuff happening even when it doesn't happen.

Telly: Can we do something for Roista?

Sure. What did you have in mind?

Telly: A card and some cookies?

That would be nice.

Few hours later.........

There.

Telly: Finished touches. *places the cookies into a basket and the card he made*

Alright. Let's go give it to her and the rest of the girls.

Telly: *grabs the basket* Ready.

Me and Telly goes down to room 6 and leaves the basket outside the door

Telly: Hope she likes it.

She will and so will the others too. Come on. Lets go watch some "Happy Feet."

Telly: Oh goodie. I love that movie. *tries to tap dance up the stairs*

[Katzi428]

groan Ohhhh...I'm stuffed!
Rositapicking up a basket of you know whats with a card attached to it Too stuffed for these?Kyle and Telly sent them up with a card hoping I'm okay.
Prairie:Oh...that was nice of them!
Rosita:They said that the goodies are for all of us.
Sounds fine.:)
Gaffer,meanwhile,is giving me a "None for ME?" look
You get your Pounce treats plus some lasagna ,Miss Gaffer.
Gaffer:Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
You're welcome sweetiepuss.giving her scratches on her head
Prairie:Awww...Gaffer loves lasagna!
Let's just make sure she doesn't get tubby like a certain other orange cat that loves lasagna.
Prairie:Gotcha.I only gave her a little bit.
Good idea.Well ladies...I'm crashing for the night.I'll dig into some of the coo...uh...those things tomorrow.Now...like Ed and the Count said,everything is safe. But if you feel like bunking in with me in the middle of the night,my door's open,OK?
Rosita:OK. And Kathy?
Hmmm?
Rositahugging me Thank you.
Prairie hugs me too Yeah...thanks Kath.You seem to be the bravest out of the 3 of us.If you want to include Gaffer,that's 4 of us.
Well...you're more than welcome taking the girls into a group hug Sweet dreams!

[The Count]

Count: You think she meant Kyle and Telly brought "down" for her?
*Smiles... Yeah. Already thanked Beth on our behalf and Kathy's for watching after the cats. *In bed with Fatatatita curled up around him... And it was nice to go out for dinner with friends.
Count: But there's something else?
Yes. Finally saw Catherine posting here, and that makes me very glad, to know she's safe and well. Now if I can get some good dreams for a change...
Count: Nighty night my fiend, and hope the batty bats delight.
Thanks, and Count...
Count: Yes?
Me: Rest in peace.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Did you guys have fun playing with the cats last night?
Wanda: Well I certainly did, but then again, I speak their language
Beth *laughs* That is true. I certainly hope Rosita's feeling better about everything
Wanda *whispering*: I'm surprised that one hasn't had any nightmares yet *points over to Big Bird who is playing Candy Land with Cookie Monster*
Beth: Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on him. But, I know he hasn't watched much of the news either so that's probably a good thing
Red *comes over*: What are you guys talking about?
Beth: The s-h-o-o-t-i-n-g that took place at that college. Rosita was having nightmares and Wanda was surprised Big Bird hasn't yet
Red: He hasn't watched the news
Beth: I know. But even if he does hear anything Ed was real good at reassuring Rosita that our campus is safe so I'm sure he'd do the same for Big Bird
Over at the table
Big Bird: Cookie, you don't eat the Princess Lolly card!
Cookie: Looked like lollipop to me
Back over by Beth's bed
Beth: I'd say we've got nothing to worry about for now!
Wanda: Let's get breakfast
Beth: Sounds good.

[The Count]

Hello from the dorms management team.

It pleases me to remind you guys of yet another festive birthday today. And this time, it's for one of te newest members of the Muppet troop, her exploits sung in Beth's Rowlf's Stories fictional as they may be... Or not...
Yes, she's definitely made a meowveelous mark with all of us, happy birthday Wanda the Cat!

Furthermore, it seems as if this week's lined up with birthdays for various dorm residents. So if it's OK with everybody involved, we'll have a party on Saturday evening for all those whose days of birth fall within this little calendar romp.
*Leaves a birthday card and a coupon for Wanda at that spa Adam Cole clued him in to, near the suburban parts of town.

[redBoobergurl]

OOC: You know, you'd think I'd write down my roommates birthdays so I didn't forget them, especially one that I made up!!!

Red: Is she gone?
Beth: Yep, sure is. I'm going to put this present Ed left for her over here. We'll make sure she gets it
Cookie: It the kitty's birthday?
Beth: Yep, it sure is, so, we need to plan a little surprise for her. What do you guys think?
Big Bird: How about cake? Everyone loves cake!
Beth: True, cake is a great idea. I was thinking, she loves jazz music. What if we got Hoots and his band to play a special little concert tonight? We can invite all of our dorm friends to come
Big Bird: Can I come?
Beth: You know what, I think as long as we have the party start early enough so you're not up past your bedtime that you definately can come
Big Bird: Oh boy!
Red: Will there be dancing?
Beth: One would assume
Red: Whoopie!
Beth: All right, I'll get in touch with Hoots, Cookie and Red you're in charge of the cake. Big Bird, how would you like to make some decorations?
Big Bird: Ok!

[tvlistingman]

PETER: What should we do

ZOE: I Know

LITTLE BIRD: What is it, Zoe

ZOE: I Can take Peter to Birdland Jazz Club with Hoots the Owl tonight for his Birthday Dinner

BABY BEAR: And Hoots can sing Peter a Song

PETER: That is a good idea for a birthday, thanks

ZOE: You're welcome!!! and after that we'll go swimming

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: All right, everything is all set
Red: Yea! This will be a great birthday party!
Cookie: Me want the cake
Red: Cookie, you promised me, you wouldn't eat the cake
Cookie: Me won't, me just want to
Big Bird: I've got all sorts of decorations
Beth: All righty, to the common room to set up for the party
*on the way Beth tacks a note on the bulletin board inviting everyone to come down for the birthday party*
Red: When is Hoots coming?
Beth: In a little while
Cookie: What about kitty cat?
Beth: Oh, she'll be busy for awhile yet, I took care of that!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(loud squeal from kitchen)
Storyteller: The smoke detector's going off in the kitchen! Nora! Did you leave something cooking?
Nora: No! I only just got back here!
(in kitchen)
Storyteller: Hmm, hmm, the stove's off, the oven's off...wait a moment, that smoke has a distinct cerebral odor...
(sudden glance over at table)
Nora: Erin?
MN: (wearily) Hi, guys.
Storyteller: That smoke's coming out of your head?
MN: I had a huge paper to finish up and turn in...and I fried half my brain cells in the process.
Nora: Ouch.
Storyteller: Get a moss pack on that head. It'll help your brain cool down.

[The Count]

Count: Um Beth... You're having Wanda's party tonight? Just asking, because I think the plan vas to have a mass party on Saturday evening for the 4, 4 birthdays this veek. But if those are your vishes, then it's OK with Ed and me. Hope Wanda has a vonderful time.

[Erine81981]

Grover: A birthday is being held here today.

Grover: Where is Telly?

He's down at the pool with some of the other monsters.

Grover: Oh ok. Come on Herry.

Herry: Coming. *carring a box of decor stuff*

FilFIi: I get to ride in the front seat!

Maurice: Not if i beat you out there.

Is everyone read.....*gets pushed over by FilFil and Maurice as they run out of the room out the big two doors* Well!

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Oops, that's right. Well, it's not so much a big party as just Hoots and the band jamming in a special concert for her as sort of a gift. Everyone is welcome and anyone who doesn't make it can celebrate with us on Saturday too.

[The Count]

Count: That's OK... Jazz music is enjoyed by all of us here. *Hugs Beth, no vorries. Though I hope you can give us all the gift of more fanfic on this, Wanda's special day.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Sounds like Wanda's having a little birthday shindig downstairs.
Uncle Deadly: Indeed. Too bad you can't join us.
Ryan: ...Why- why can't I?
Uncle Deadly: You're writing, remember? *locks door*
