Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: *opens the door to room 3* Hey guys? Guess what?
Red: What?
Cookie: What?
Wanda: Yeah?
Beth: We have a guest for the week!
Cookie: Who?
*Big Bird comes in the door*
Big Bird: ME!
Red: Big Bird!
Cookie: Hi birdie!
Wanda: What brings you down here? *gives him a hug*
Big Bird: Bryan is out of town this week. It's just for a week this time though, not so long like last time, so I get to stay with you guys!
Cookie: Oh boy!
Red: This will be fun! Want to go swimming with me?
Big Bird: Sure! But first I want to set up my nest, will you help me?
Red: Of course.
Beth: Well I'm going to go to work since it appears all is well here
*no one hears her as they excitedly chatter away*

[BEAR]

Well, I think Big Bird is settled. And Telly is going to Kyle's as usual. Not sure if Bert and Ernie will be with Kathy or Ed. Either way, I hope they don't cause too much trouble. I think Bert's birthday is soon, by the by. Hmm... Will have to remember that.

[Erine81981]

*knock on the door is heard* Wonder who that could be? *smiles*

Murray: I know! I know! It's........

Herry, Murray and Me: TELLY!

Telly: Whoa! Never had i had a greeting like that before.

We are just glad to have someone staying with us who's a good friend.

Telly: Glad to be here. I'll put my things in Herry's room with Chuckie Sue in the living room.

That will be just fine. You came at a good time too. We were just about to have lunch. Mac and Cheese and hot dogs.

Telly: Hot dog! My mom hardly makes that. I'm more of a grilled cheese sandwich.

Don't worry. Tonight is everyone eats what they want Monday.

Herry: Oooo can't wait till tonight! Ooooo Telly i wanted to show you my new square collection i got.

Telly: Cool Herry. I'll have to show you my new triangle too.

Alright guys. Make your plate.

Murray: *grabs 2 hot dogs and a scoop of mac and cheese* My favorite.

[The Count]

Hi Bry... The guys and I just came back from lunch at House of the Rising Dim Sum... And though it's not audio cassette version to go with the others, I did get the audio CD version of DH. Will be reading it soon, I think Bert's really interested in it too.
Bert: Yeah, yeah... Let's get a readin' this nifty book about that Harry Potter guy.
Ernie: Harry Potter? Ooh, I like that series too, lots of good fun.
Count: And the darkness... Vonderfully masterfully wrought about by the writer.
*Laughs. Guess I've got an anxious crowd. So no worries, the boys will be here with me, Kathy or Ryan will pik them up and look after them for the rest of the week.

Good journeys Bry, wherever your travels take you.

[Gloat]

*Adam, Boppity and Gloat comes back to the building covered in dirt, they have just been playing football*

Boppity: That dog better not come near me again, that bite on the leg really hurt. If i do see it again ill break all its legs!

Adam: You do realize that Dog was Gloat right?

Boppity: *Stares*

Gloat: I want a sandwich

Adam: I want punch you but we can't all have what we want can we

Gloat: *cowers*

Adam: Dont worry, i dont wanna punch ya

Gloat: can i have the sandwich then?

Adam: no

Good journeys Bry, wherever your travels take you.

Nora: Oh, it is, good, Bert, really good.
MN: True...can't really discuss the plot, though.
Storyteller: Is it true you've already gone back and re-read it a few times?
MN: Might have, might have.
Nora: Wow...well, the sale brought in a good chunk of money for Coming Unbound, so Mrs. Farley's happy.

(up in heaven)

JJ: So do you guys know what happened?
JH: Oh, dear, no, I've just been listening to people read the book aloud. But it sounds excellent, from what I hear.
R: I tried hovering over J.K. Rowling's shoulder at her house in Edinburgh...
JJ: Good heavens, have you no scruples, Hunt?
R: But didn't see much, 'cause H.G. Wells and Arthur Conan Doyle and half the big-name authors up here got there first.
JR: What about C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien?
JH: Wouldn't bet on Lewis, 'cause I've heard him going on and on about how he doesn't like the books. But I hear Tolkien loves them.

[The Count]

Hey, who's JR?
Gotten past the arrival at the Burrow... Disc 3 awaits.
TellJH I can lend him the discs after finishing with them myself. Or he can come listen as we play it on our computer's CD Rom.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

JH: Who's JR? He's some guy named Ewing, got shot by...
JR: No I'm not, I'm Joe Raposo.
JJ: Well, there was bound to be some confusion...there's too many of us up here whose names start with J. Exceptions are Eren and that little punk from the Bronx.
R: Your face, Jerry.

MN: Okay, guys, how about, whenever there are multiple J's present, I use your first names instead of initials?

All: Sure, fine, fine.
R: And if you want, you can drop the MN and just announce yourself as Erin.

Erin: Oh, and Jim, Ed says you're welcome to swing by and listen to the audio CDs.
Jim: Ah, excellent. Thank you, Ed.

[The Count]

*All in Room #1 are in their jammies or sleeping clothes. Ah yes, Joe Raposo. He wrote some nice songs, I think there's a restaurant here in town he'd enjoy or at least be particularly fond of its name.
Feel free to swing by Jim, that'd make Ernie here happy.
Ernie: And don't forget Rubber Duckie too.
Of course not. OK guys, since it's a non-school night you can stay up as late as you can last while we read.
Count: Mmm, vonderful, I'm hexpecting great things out of this book. Such a nice name it has, perhaps Uncle Deadly might be interested in reading it afterwards.
*Chuckling, he might be a bit busy torturing Prawny to keep writing his own fanfics.

*Hums a snatch from "J-Friends" thinking over all the J's in the Muppeteer cloud club above.

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: *walks in* I. Hate. Bugs!
Gillis: *writing something on a piece of paper at the desk* What was it this time?
Kim: Earwig, I think. In the bathtub. I flushed it.
Boober: Did you remember to disinfect the tub?
Kim: I don't think I need to go that far, but if you want to go scrub the bathtub down then by all means, feel free Boober.
Boober: Okay. Back in a bit. *grabs his cleaning supplies and am-scrays from the room*
Kim: Seriously, if I see one more creepy crawly today, I may just lose it.
Tosh: Well, can't really blame you.
Betty Lou: *looks up from feeding Speedbump* Why, what happened?
Kim: I found a spider this morning. On my bread.
Betty Lou: The cinnamon swirl you bought from Great Harvest Saturday?
Kim: Yup.
Betty Lou: EW!
Gillis: So that's why she threw the bread away; goodness knows what else might have been on the roll or in the bag.
Kim: Great Harvest is a nice place, but I dearly hope they're more careful with their packaging techniques than that.

(up in heaven)
Jim: Richard, what did you do?
Richard: Oh come on, Jim; I wouldn't stoop that low. Besides, it's a waste of perfectly good bread if you ask me.

-Kim

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *sighs happily*
Gonzo: Still content with the book?
Ryan: CONTENT? Are you kidding, Gonzo? It was AMAZING!
Gonzo: Well, that's great, but I think Ed wanted you to drop by and pick up Ernie and Bert for Bryan.
Ryan: *headslap* Sheesh! Nearly forgot! *darts down to room 1 and knocks on the door*

[The Count]

*The door opens creakily on it's own accord. *In Lurch-like voice: You knocked?

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *gulps* Hi there, Ed, sorry to interruput your Potter listening... but I figured I'd offer to take Ernie and Bert off your hands. *innocent look*

[The Count]

Well... The boys do have their hearts set on finishing the story... Was waiting to hear what you and Kathy worked out between you... But if she's OK with it, and you can finish the story with them... I'd be glad to send 'em along in the morning.
Hope you can understand my fiend.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Oh, well, I haven't really talked to Kathy... okay, that's cool, no worries! I'll talk to Kath in the morning, and we'll work something out! Night, pal!

[The Count]

Very well... But don't be alarmed if you end up with a yellow pine cone headed and an orange pumpkin headed zombie at your dorstep in the morning.
*Eerie laugh as the door quickly closes with an audibly loud slamming creak bidding Prawny farewell.

[redBoobergurl]

*Wanda has just finished reading the sneak peek Beth gave of the final chapter of her story*
Wanda: *Sniffles*: That is such a nice ending. I just can't believe it's over
Beth: Me too *also sniffles*
Big Bird: What's wrong?
Wanda: Beth just finished writing her story about me and Rowlf
Big Bird: Oh! Can you read it to me?
Wanda: *wipes her eyes* Sure Big Bird, let's go outside
Big Bird: Oh boy!

[The Count]

*Walking back into Room #1...

Hey Count, I'm back.
Count: Have a good lunch?
Yeah, I was famished.
Count: Ah good.
Did Bert and Ernie...
Count: Sent them upstairs to Prawny's loft as soon as they vere vashed and dressed and packed to go.
Good, he needs all the support he can get.
Count: Huh?
Never mind... Let's get back to HP.
Count: Yes, ewen now that ve know vhat the Deathly Hallows are.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: Claudia, you look dreadful!

Claudia: TO THE THIRD POWER! *Bag eyes* I SWEAR IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! I MIXED THE WRONG CHEMICAL! *Paranoia* WAIT I KNOW THE ANSWER! BILL CLINTON!

Beaker: Meee? *Looks at Claudia and screams*

Claudia: I WAS WRONG? Why yes...I WAS! YEEHAHAH!

Bunsen: Oh please, calm yourself! I'm sure there can be some relief in all this!

Claudia: :D BUNNIE BUNNIE! ARMSTRONG DISCOVERED EYGYPT IN 1969!

Bunsen: Were you not a girl I would have slapped you so as to be able to help you return to common sense.

Claudia: *Lays on the couch* -_- I WISH I WAS IN HIGHSCHOOL AGAIN!

Beaker: *holds hand* meemee...

Bunsen: Indeed Beakie! Never give up and never surrender to the brilliance of education!

Claudia: Just hush...up..*Sleep*

Beaker: aww meep <3

Bunsen: I fear what she might mumble about in her sleep. She tends to talk in her sleep when stressed.

Claudia: I, Claudia, am very proud to be the discoverer of this Alien Technology....I found it out by the 2 + 2 problem...it equals FOUR!

Bunsen: See?

Beaker: *shakes head*

[The Count]

Just apply the trouttonogging method Bunsen, it'll sort itself out.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: Good Idea Edward!

Beaker: MEE!

Bunsen: Let her rest?

Beaker: Mee. *puts blanket over her* *pats head*

Bunsen: ...that method seems too gentle. Electrifying does best!

Beaker: MEE MEEEEMEE!

Bunsen: Oh darn *snaps fingers*

[theprawncracker]

Ernie: But, Bert, you said you'd play a game with me!
Bert: *groans* Ernie, I'm tired, it's late, and we just got settled in here at Ryan's, can't I get some rest?
Ernie: But Bert, you promised!
Bert: Tomorrow, Ernie!
Ernie: But Bert!
Ryan: *walking in* Hey guys, how's it going?
Bert: To bed. *hides under covers on couch*
Ernie: Oh, c'mon Bert! Play a game with me!
Ryan: Which game are you wanting to play, Ernie?
Ernie: I wanted to play Twister with Bert here!
Bert: But I'm tired, and I want to go to bed.
Ryan: Well, I'll play with you, Ernie!
Ernie: You will? Really? Oh! Well that's great! Thanks Ryan! You just go on to bed, Bert, old buddy, old pal!
Ryan: Yup! But, uh, we can't play in my room, Clifford's already asleep.
Ernie: Yeah, and we really wouldn't be able to fit.
Ryan: Yeah, yeah... hmmm... oh! I know! We can move the coffee table, and play out here!
Ernie: That's great!
Ryan: *moves the coffee table* Okay, spread out the mat!
Bert: Hey... what are you doing?
Ernie: Don't worry about it, Bert, you just get some sleep.
Bert: But how can I get any sleep when you're playing Twister here?
Ryan: Okay, I'll go first! Spin it, Ern!
Ernie: *spins it* Okay, uh, right hand red!
Ryan: Simple!
Bert: Hey! I'm trying to sleep!
Ryan: We know, we promise you won't have to play.
Bert: But I-
Ryan: Okay, Ernie, left foot blue!
Ernie: Khekhekhe, this is fun! Thanks Ryan!
Ryan: No problem, Ern!
Bert: *groans* I'm sleeping in the lobby!
Ryan: Ooh, I get left foot blue, too! Move over, Ernie!

[The Count]

*Midnight tolls as a weary thin-fingered hand props up onto the desk above.

Finished it... And I'm just floored by all that happened in the last chapters, and the epilogue's perfect in my mind no matter what anyone else says. The epilogue's the best, cause it lets you take it to wherever you want to in fanfic planning. And boy, do I have a fanfic planning.
Good night all... The dorms were brought to you by the letter Z and the number 17.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: I also thought the epilogue added a nice touch...and the fanfic writers are going to have a field day, you know that.
Nora: I thought I was going to need tissues on 34.
Storyteller: Oh, I needed tissues starting around 5 or 6.
Erin: So what's on for today?
Nora: Now that the HP release is over, it's back to normal at the shop.
Storyteller: I'm expecting a letter from Beige over in Fraggle Cave - he's helping me out with a history project.
Erin: I'm on assignment, so I guess it's a full day.

[BeakerSqueedom]

[OOC: I never make sense]


THE NONSENSE SONG!

---
Claudia:

*Raises eyebrow as sober music sounds from her radio*

The day feels rather slow even though time is on the go.
Now that I think about it--time has a certain to and fro.
Nothing stays and some things go. The moon shifts and the sun sets except the big blue thing in the sky. My youth is temporary but my mind is forever..
my sanity expire--whenever.


*Up beat music starts and Claudia gets a sudden spark*


Bunsen:

Ladies and gentlemen I would like to call this lyrical tale the nonsense song!


Claudia:

Bunnie, Bunnie, can't you see? Time is like a jimboree! It is ageful and ageless all in one.

Wait that did not make sense at all!

Bunsen:

Indeed my dear Waston, it'll send me on a fall!
This is why I call it the nonsense song!

Claudia:

Oh Beakie, time is on the move and that's all I am talking about!
I need a soothe from this sudden hue.

The hue of insanity is on the brink!
The house is gonna sink!

Suddenly I've lost an inch!

Bunsen:

Claudia, hue is a color tone!

Claudia:

It is? OH COLOR TIME PINK!

Bunsen:

This is all a wild rink!

Beakie:

Mee mee? Mee mee? Mee mee mememe~

Claudia:

THIS IS THE NONSENSE SONG!

Beakie:

Mee mee? Mee mee? Mee mee mememe~

Bunsen:

Nonsense song!

Claudia:

Nonsense song!

Beaker:

NONSENSE MEEEEEEEEE!

Bunsen:

Randomly there is a MUDGE!

Claudia:

What the fudge?


All three:

Once again the nonsense song!

---

BEHIND THE SCENES

Claudia: What the effing?

Bunsen: Erm, I suppose you were experiencing temporary insanity from not needed stress?

Claudia: No, not that. I noticed how uncoordinated the song was but I loved the beat. I think Simon Cowell would label us the worst lyricists in the world. I guess the singing was done out of sheer craziness.

Bunsen: I should hope not.

Claudia: Beaker did wonderfully though. He sings just great.

Bunsen: I must agree.

Beaker: Mee mee *nod nod*

Beth: It is finished. Posted. I am done.
Wanda: It's a masterpiece for sure.
Red: Boy I tell you, I don't know if I would recommend that people live with you Beth, you put them through so much in your fan fics!
Beth: But you know you love it
Red: Yeah
Wanda: I do
Cookie: So me next?
Beth: Who knows, maybe!
Big Bird: Hey, you could finish that Grover story you never finished
Beth: Oh my gosh, I had almost forgotten that one. I don't know, we'll see, I've got a few ideas up my sleeve but I need to take a little break for awhile
Wanda: It's well deserved
Beth: Thanks.

[Erine81981]

Telly: Kyle? Kyiiiiiilllle? Wonder where Kyle could be?

Herry: Hey Telly. What's up?

Telly: Trying to find Kyle. Have you seen him?

Herry: He was here just a while ago but he left. Said something about a Joe go stick?

Telly: Joe go stick? What's that?

Herry: I don't know. I've never heard of it before.

Telly: I hope he gets back soon. Me and him are going out on a pogo stick ride. I'm going to be in the hallway.

Herry: Ok.

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

Oscar: *looks out of his trashcan* I sure do hope no one bothers me.

Telly: *sees Oscar's eyes peeking out* Hey Oscar! *runs over to him*

Oscar: Oh bother. *opens lid* What do you want?

Telly: Would you like to see me try out my new pogo stick?

Oscar: Not really.

Telly: Ok. I'll show you. *starts pogo sticking* This is really fun. You should try it.

Oscar: I really don't care.
Telly: Come on Oscar. You know you want too.

Oscar: No i don't!

Telly: Come on Oscar. You do. You do. You do.

Oscar: Ok ok ok. If i try this will you leave me alone?

Telly: I would anything for you.

Oscar gets out of his trashcan and tries out Telly's pogostick but keeps failing on getting it right.

Telly: All you have to do is. First get any of your foot on the pedal. Then you get your other foot up on the other side and start bouncing.

Oscar: *tries again and again but keeps failing*

Telly: You can do it Oscar.

Oscar: *tries again and gets the hang of it* This isn't all that bad. *keeps bouncing along the hallway*

Telly: Uh Oscar? Oscar! OSCAR! *runs after Oscar*

[BeakerSqueedom]

*In hallway*

Claudia: BOUNCING GROUCH ON THE GO!

Bunsen: He seems to be enjoying himself.I think he likes it.

Beaker: Meee..*hides behind Claudia*

Claudia: RUN TELLY RUN!

Bunsen: Claudia, how about going outside for a small jog? For some odd reason I feel rather enclosed for so long. I suppose I want to simply strech these legs of mine.

Beaker: Mee. *tense all over*

Claudia: Good idea, you guys do need to take a breather.

Bunsen: You as well.

Claudia: Yeah.

Beaker: Meee.

Claudia: *Bites lip* I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! *HUGGLES THEM TO DEATH*

Bunsen and Beaker: O_O *huggled tightly*

Bunsen: You always were overly affectionate.

Claudia: Not as much as Miss Piggy, she snogs and huggles and and...cooes to her Kermit....I don't do that.

Bunsen: I stand corrected. I am very much glad you do not do so...I'd get nightmares for the rest of my days.

Beaker: *nod nod*

Claudia: Aw, I am not that bad. :/

Bunsen: True.

Claudia: I AM UTTERLY SANE AND ADORABLE!

Bunsen: I take that back.

Beaker: Meee...

[Erine81981]

Telly: Oscar! Oscar! Give me back my pogostick.

Maurice: *walking in the door* I'm hom...*gets trampled by Oscar* Whoa....did anyone catch that number on that pogostick?

Telly: Oscar! Stop Oscar! I want my pogostick back! *tramples Maurice*

Maurice: *gets back up* Man oh man.....*falls back down*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: (pokes head out door) What is going on up there?
Nora: Sounds like a pogostick contest or something.
Storyteller: Pogostick...where I come from, it's a leapstick.
Erin: And the Doozers call it something else entirely.
Storyteller: Flooping. Guaranteed to induce hiccups in five out of 10 bull Doozers, including Turbo.
Erin: Poor Telly, he's out there chasing Oscar...and Maurice is going to end up in the hospital if he gets trampled one more time.

(all hear Claudia yell "I am utterly sane and adorable!")

Nora: Uh, should we get her a strait jacket or something?
Erin: Nah, it's business as usual for her, with the mad scientist and the meeping guinea pig for roommates.
Nora: And I thought my siblings were holy terrors.
Erin: Where's Thomas Dolby when we need him? (radio in room starts playing "She Blinded Me With Science") Ah, there he is.

[The Count]

*Hears music coming from Erin's room. Doesn't that guy have any other hit songs? Guess not.
Count: Ah, another 1-hit vonder! Reminds me of the Underground Coffins.
Whatever happened to that recording group?
Count: They got buried by the critics.

[Katzi428]

*Hears music coming from Erin's room. Doesn't that guy have any other hit songs? Guess not.
Count: Ah, another 1-hit vonder! Reminds me of the Underground Coffins.
Whatever happened to that recording group?
Count: They got buried by the critics.
passing by Room 1 & hearing Ed & the Count's conversationGROAN!Now that's bad!:rolleyes:
(wasn't trying to be nosy,btw);)

[BeakerSqueedom]

OOC : I just died laughing Erin. I think I do need one of those! XD

Bunsen: Oh, what a day. Now, I should like to...OOOooo *Hears radio from Erin's room* I fancy that song.

Claudia: I wonder why. *Was stuffed in a machine* TESTING ON HUMANS IS NOT OK! XD

Bunsen: *humming* I very much can relate to this song.

Beaker: Mee *slaps hand on face*

Claudia: I think I must agree with Nora...I DO need a strait jacket.

Bunsen: Oh my dear Claudia, you will have taken part on a most important invention in the history of the world!

Claudia: Like that alchemy machine that turned gold into cottage cheese? *Loling*

Bunsen: That DOES come useful. Hmph...

Beaker: meeemeee!

---

Bunsen: It's poetry in motion..Hmmm hmm *does a corny shagadelic dance*

Beaker: *Holding his nose and waving his free hand as a dance* Harmonymeemee

Claudia: *laughing in the machine* Lemme outta here! XD

[Erine81981]

Hey guys. *sees no one is home* Where is everyone? *looks in every room* Nope. Not there. *walks out into the hallway and heads over to Oscar's can* Knock knock. Hello in there. *opens lid* Hello! *echo is heard*

Fluffy: *trumpet noise*

Hey there Fluffy! *pets her trunk* Have you seen Oscar?

Fluffy: *sad trumpet noise*

He's gone? Where could he have gone off to? He never leaves his trash belongings. And where is everyone else? This makes no since at all. *heads up to Claudia's room* (Knock knock)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: KYLE HELP! XD EEE! *soundproof*

Bunsen: *chuckles* I'll get that. *Opens door and closes it behind him* Oh hello my dear Kyle. Have you found our green furry friend?

Beaker: *Is with Bunsen* Meemeee

Bunsen: If you didn't then I might recommend that you search within that direction *points to the right side* or call them up on their cellphones...if they've any. *looks pleased* I am sure Beaker could assist you.

Beaker: Meemeemee.

Claudia: I DON'T WANT TO BE A MAN! D:

Bunsen: : )

[Erine81981]

Claudia! Is everything ok in there? Thanks Bunsan but you aren't trying anything on her that would jeopardize her life.....would you?

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <drops off a plate of muffins outside of Beth's door> For finishing a series...
Rowlf: I detect a hint of jealousy there-
Lisa: Oh hush!
Rowlf: <Shakes head> It's not my fault you haven't touched it in... months.
Lisa: Well, I just- ...just... I just got an idea. ...<looks at Rowlf> How do you do that? I've gotta talk to you more often!
Rowlf: I don't even know what I did.
Lisa: Neither do I. But I thank you for it. <Shakes Rowlf's paw>
Rowlf: So does that mean you're gonna go write it?
Lisa: ...<shifty eyes>... Don't push it...
Rowlf: <shakes head>
Lisa: Well- Vim needs to process it first! OOH! See there he goes...
Rowlf: I can't see inside your head, Lisa.
Lisa: ...You sure?...
Rowlf: No, but I'm sure I wouldn't want to.
Lisa: Oh.
Rowlf: ...Although- <pulls Lisa's head down and peers into her ear> When do I get my casts off in that story...
Lisa: Hey! <covers ears with hands> That's classified information there! Now come on, we've gotta get back to the room and make sure Chef doesn't burn a hole in the ceiling. What was he cooking again?
Rowlf: Who knows?
Lisa: Who EVER knows?
Rowlf: Who WANTS to know?
Lisa: Who- ...I'm out. Let's go.
Rowlf: Got it.

[redBoobergurl]

*Beth opens the door and grabs the plate of muffins*
Beth: Will have to send a thank you card to Lisa later
Cookie: MUFFINS!
Wanda: We have to share Cookie
Cookie: Ok
Red: Looks like we've got our breakfast
Big Bird: Yeah! I'm glad I'm staying with you guys this week!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia! Is everything ok in there? Thanks Bunsan but you aren't trying anything on her that would jeopardize her life.....would you?

Bunsen: *Spectacles shine mischeviously* Oh what a thing to say Kyle. Of COURSE I would never attempt to do so. My inventions always lack human experimentation.

Beaker: *Shakes* meemee...>__>

*A few minutes later*

*The machine door opens and smoke pours from it*

Claudia: *Cough* I am a boy OH MY GOSH! *Looks in the mirror* Well...I look better as a boy than a girl though...but...just EW! Feels uncomfortable to walk too.

---

Bunsen: How about we look for those two hmm?

Beaker: Mee.

*Door opens with a squimish Claudia*

Claudia: BUNSEN I WILL KILL YOU! I WILL--

Bunsen: Oh dear, what have you done to yourself? You look so masculine!

Claudia: Don't act innocent! *Sees Kyle* Hey, Found them yet? XD

Bunsen: I love your voice...you have a Colombian accent..O_o

Claudia: I better be changed back to a girl..I am not ready to be called "Claudio" yet. I'm sure we can set up a Muppet search Kyle *Giggles*...woah I sound bad giggling. My voice is horribly deep.

Bunsen: Welcome to manhood.

Claudia: You are a sick Scientist.

Bunsen: Alrighty, let us search Kyle!

[Gloat]

Gloat: What's that noise? I'm trying to sleep!

Adam: How can you sleep when you're hanging out the window?

Gloat: hm.... I never thought about that

Adam: *pulls him in* I think i heard Bunsen, maybe its him, go check it out

*Boppity and Gloat go to Claudia's room, they go in, seeing she has become a bloke*

Gloat: *Gasp* Its's a man!

[The Count]

Hoped it wouldn't come to this, but...

At the lobby's desk, an ornate Kermit emerald green switch is flipped while the marble 44 is pushed back into the wall where the room keys usually hang. The room above seals off with just Claudia inside, as the hands on the Muppet Labs clock move backwards at an alarming speed. She, though momentarily turned into a boy, is trapped inside the machine Bunsen invented once again as time quickly races back to undo the effects of such a high-tech piece of screwy science. Once the room's main occupant has been altered back to the way she used to be, a girl, the contraption's lid opens admitting her exit before blowing an internal fuse that noone will be able to fix forever more.

OK, that oughta do it.
The marble 44 comes back out of its inner depression and the switch is turned off as time can now continue its usual prodding forward march.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: Oh hello you two, indeed she was. *Smiles* That simply demonstrated that it did work.

Claudia: THANKS! XD I CAN GIGGLE AGAIN! I am a girl again!

Bunsen: *snaps fingers* I am to acompany Kyle in his search. Toodles!

Beaker: *stays with Claudia*

Claudia: Hey Gloat, how's Adam?

[Erine81981]

Ok team of misfits. We have a job to do. We have to find Telly and Oscar. Seems that Herry saw Maurice with a few brusies and took him to Dr. Bob. I just hope he's ok. But Telly and Oscar have been missing since last night. But i am also going to be leave for a river trip tomorrow morning. So i'm going to stay with my sister and Grover is the only one coming with me to the river. The others didn't want to go. Herry had to work and so does Maurice but Murray, Telly and Oscar (who does whever he wants to) will stay behind. So You Claudia and Bunsan will search while me and Beaker will look too. So head on that way and by that time i can see who will be staying with who.

Split!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Gulp...ulp...(lurches forward and clutches stomach) Time travel makes me feel unwell.
Erin: (dizzy) I have the same problem with paint fumes and bleach. On the other hand, thanks to Ed, Claudia seems to be back to normal.
Nora: (huddled on sofa) Normal? Are you sure that's the right word?
Erin: Yeah, I know - normal should never be used in the same sentence as Muppet College Dorms.
Storyteller: I think we could all do with some tea.
Erin: (rising to feet) Tea, Earl Grey, hot. (heads off to kitchen)
Nora: Hmm, sure we're not in Star Trek?
Erin: More like Dr. Who. Or MST3K. (starts to sing) "They're raising a commotion...the dorms are in disharmony...Bunsen blinded us with science..."
Storyteller: (spoken) He blinded us with science!
Erin: (returning with pot of tea) Nothing like bergamot and orange to clear the head.

[The Count]

Mmm... MST3k, one of my favorite varieties of tea. You should band with us Erin, Winslow's the leader of our movie-ripping remembering troop and we could certainly use a third. But que sera, sera...

**Goes off for a sandwich for lunch wile working out the details of Beaker's monster makeover for later plans.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Good idea Kyle, once you leave to that trip I'd be happy to take care of the two if they are found.

Bunsen: Search party assembled. Apology not, so sorry Storyteller & co. for that time warp...Eddie had to anyway because I did not exactly built an 'antidote' for the slight change. *Chuckles nervously*

Beaker: *follows Kyle* mee mee (Transalation: Thanks for saving me from the crazy Scientist and the wierd girl.)

Claudia: Heard that. :/

Bunsen: Let us get searching, I am actually worried that Grouch is out of his 'delightful' home and Telly still chases him about without any trace left behind unless...

Claudia: that one is too smokish.

Bunsen: Yes, I am afraid you are right. The others might make a bit of a fuss about it.

Claudia: The Clue Finder?

Bunsen: Sold it.

Claudia: The robotic dog?

Bunsen: Was adopted.

Claudia: You create too many things..it crowds up the room. I think we should just do it the old fashioned way. ANTI-TECH--just plain eyes and brains.

--

Bunsen: Mhmm. I certainly did blind people with Science.

Claudia: Yah, like that time you smack the living daylights of that guy with the incredibly long neck.

Bunsen: It was the only known cure for his outrageously long neck at that time. Muppet labs has gone to high levels, higher plateaus, highe-

Claudia: Shh, I see little rubber marks.

Bunsen: *amused*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Mmm... MST3k, one of my favorite varieties of tea. You should band with us Erin, Winslow's the leader of our movie-ripping remembering troop and we could certainly use a third. But que sera, sera...

**Goes off for a sandwich for lunch wile working out the details of Beaker's monster makeover for later plans.

Beaker: O_O MEEP MEE? *touches hair*

[Sorry I am laughing. XD]

[The Count]

No need to worry Beaker... All will be explained in October, if you're still with us that is.
*No evil laugh, I don't want to scare him any further than he already seems to be.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: *Amused* Meeeee..*Imagines* Meep.*Nod nod*

Bunsen: I think he likes it. XD

[The Count]

Good to hear that... Cause you're also due up for a transformation yourself Bunsen. But that's a loooooong ways away.

[Erine81981]

Ok Beaker. I know i don't understand you but i'll try.

Grover: *shows up* Hey Kyle.

Hey Grover. Have you seen Telly or Oscar?

Grover: Well i thought i might have seen them down by the.....

Don't forget tomorrow is our trip with my sister, borther in law and their friends. You still want to come right?

Grover: Sure. I need a little cute vacation.

Good. Now where was it you saw Telly and Oscar?

Grover: Let me see. *thinks a bit*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: Meee. *nods*

----

Bunsen: I've made an interesting discovery.

Claudia: Yes?

Bunsen: The Grouch actually likes something besides his junk piles.

Claudia: He is a softie but we all know he'd never admit it. *Follows rubber marks on marble floor*

Bunsen: This is like playing guess who.

Claudia: Kinda.

Bunsen: Oh, I've another clue...*picks up a small strand of green fur* *sniffs it*

Claudia: EW!

Bunsen: Yes, most definatley him.

Claudia: Why'd you do that?

Bunsen: It could have been Mr. Gloat's. There are many residents with green fur so that was all I could do to see if it belonged to him.

Claudia: I am worried but at the same time having fun.

Bunsen: Oh really?

Claudia: Yes.

Bunsen: I should say the same.

Claudia: That's sweet!

Bunsen: *Looks about* *prints leading downstairs*

[Erine81981]

Beaker, Grover and Me all look around the back patio but still no sign of Oscar and Telly.

Grover: Where could they have gone?

Don't really know. All i know that I was spoused to have a pogostick outing with him. Maybe Bunsan has something he could give us to help us fine them. Would you know of anything Beaker?

On the other side of the dorms..........

Telly: Oscar!

Oscar: I am having to much fu....i mean i hate this all together.

Telly: Come on Oscar. I want it back. It is mine.

Oscar: You gotta catch me. Heh heh heh heh....*bounces off*

Telly: OSCAR! *runs off after Oscar again*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *yawns*
Ernie: Long day?
Bert: He's been gone all day, Ernie, of course it was a long day!
Ryan: You know it, but well worth the length.
Clifford: Why don't you get some sleep then?
Ryan: I will later, gonna head down to Lisa's room and get some stuff done with the 100 Greatest Muppets list before bed.
Roomies: *eye Ryan longingly*
Ryan: *rolls eyes* Yes, you are all on it.
Roomies: *eye Ryan longingly again*
Ryan: Yes, and you are all over 100.
Clifford: That's all I needed to know!
Gonzo: Yup, me too!
Uncle Deadly: Quite.
Ryan: Sheesh... anyway, I'm also gonna be talking to her and Ed about taking you guys in next week, I'm leaving Saturday morning and not coming back till Sunday.
Gonzo: WHAT?
Rizzo: Who's gonna feed me?
Camilla: Bragawk!
Ryan: Good grief... be back later guys.

[The Count]

Count: You know Ryan... There are almost 5,000 entries in the Muppet Uniwerse, at least according to the vonderful Muppet Listings Ed and I have been vorking on. If you need any help culling through who should be part of the top 100, please don't hesitate in asking.

Finished reading the bottom 25 at that other website. It's got some honest stuff, but also some very screwed up reasoning for some of their choices. There was virtually no reason for Scooter given, they used that as a rant for something else.
Oh well... Just hope I have enough energies to actually fill up the castle with 100 times 10 haunters.
Count: You've already got the first ten though.
Good point. Could share it with Prawny and/or Lisa, but what I rully need is someone to draw them for me.
Count: You'll find someone. Now let's see vhat ve can do with #11.
*Both go off to secretly converse about the various haunters and the plans for getting them all housed at the Count's castle.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: *Shrugs* Meeep. *Marks Bunsen's cellphone number*

---

Bunsen: Dr. Bunsen Honey Dew here, how may I be of service? Yes, I have got it. *hears noises* I will call you later.

Claudia: How fancy.

---

[Gloat]

Gloat: *finally realizes he was being talked to* Hey Claudia, Adams fine, if ya want to we can bring him here

[Erine81981]

*talking to Grover* Well glad to know we got found Telly and Oscar last night.

Grover: Yep. *getting ready for the trip*

I'll let Ed know that Herry, Maurice, Murray and Telly are going to stay here. And if they want to go and stay with someone will be by me. You got your furryscreen right?

Grover: Yes i do. Does this hat make me look cute and adorable?

You don't have to wear anything to be that Grover. Your always cute and adorable.

Grover: Ohhhh you making me blush.

Good. Everything is packed and we are ready to head out. You do got everything you need?

Grover: I have everything i need.

Good. *leaves note on Ed's door* Then let's head out. *head up the stairs from the first floor and out the main lobby doors* (whispers) Bye dorms. We'll be back on monday.

Grover: GOOOBYE EVERYBODDIEEEEE!

Grover!

Grover: What?

Never mind. Come on.

[The Count]

Hello from the dorms management team. Various announcements to get to today.

1 We'd like to apologize to Dr. Teeth, as his birthday was this last Monday, July 23. If you have any gifts or cards to pass along, please leave them at Room #28's door with Maddie or at the party later tonight.
2 We would also like to apologize to Bert, as his birthday was yesterday, July 26. If you have a card or gift, leave it at Room #25's door as he's currently rooming with Ryan until Bryan gets back or at the party later tonight.
3 Needless to say, there'll be a party later tonight for both Dr. Teeth and Bert, hope to see you guys and gals there.
4 Claudia will be looking after Telly for the weekend until Bryan gets back, as Kyle will be leaving on a weekend getaway of his own. To that end, Kathy, Erin, and Beth, please PM me to know if you can look after any or all of the monsters from Kyle's gang.
Thanks, that's all and have a good weekend.

[theprawncracker]

Bert: *sighs*
Ryan: Hey, Bert, what's wrong pal?
Bert: No one remembered my birthday, Ryan.
Ryan: What? No one remembered? Not even Ernie?
Bert: *sighs* No... not even Ernie.
Ryan: Are you sure?
Bert: *nods* No one even wished me a happy birthday...
Ryan: Maybe they were waiting for the perfect moment.
Bert: What do you mean?
Ernie: *jumps out* Like right now! *blows noise-maker in Bert's ear* Surprise!
Dormies: *jump out from behind couch* Surprise! Happy Birthday, Bert!
Ryan: Yeah, something like that.
Bert: *groans* I should've seen that coming...

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (on phone) Uh-huh...okay, sure. Take care. (hangs up phone) Guys, start prepping the sofa bed, I think we're going to have company over the weekend.
Storyteller: Oh, how nice.
Erin: I've got a pot of clam chowder in the fridge, ready to heat up on the stove, and I'm going to make some bread later on, so we're all set for dinner tonight.
Nora: Is the chowder homemade?
Erin: You bet - I got the recipe from a friend while I was in Boston a little while back.
Storyteller: Oh, goodness, we got Bert's birthday mixed up...and I have this lovely rock crystal carving of a pigeon to give him.
Nora: Yeah...and we got him a few new stoneware bowls, good for soup or oatmeal.
Erin: Well, we're not too late...let's run them up to him, shall we?

[The Count]

*On the phone... OK, will send him over. *Finishes and hangs up.
*Side window opens up into the common room: Hey Maurice! You got a room for the weekend. You'll be with Erin in Room #7, I think you'll like them as they happen to be well acquainted with your old friend Richard.
*Side window closes down and the furry blueish monster walks the length of the hall, turning to his left first, and meets Erin and her crew.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Hey guys, we've got another guest for the weekend
Cookie: Who?
Murray: ME!
Cookie: Oh boy! A fellow fuzzy monster. You not blue, but that ok
Murray: I am happy to be staying with you guys, thanks for having me
Beth: It's no problem
Big Bird: It's like a big slumber party!
Red: Ooh, does that mean we get to stay up late?
Beth: Sure, why not
Wanda: We could go get some movies
Beth: That sounds like a plan

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: Thankfully, they were found. Oh, um..well, Telly I forgot to welcome you to our--humble room. *Tries to move his little table with flasks and tubes ect.*

Claudia: Don't wory Telly I won't let him do anything strange on you and I assure you we are very much normal.

Bunsen: Oh look, a penny.

Claudia: *Rolls eyes*

Telly: Uh, that's ok. *uncomfortable* I hear you scream sometimes.

Claudia: That means I am HAPPY : D.

Bunsen: No, that means she is under stress while slowly losing every bit of sanity left.

Telly: Kyle...please come back home...>_<

Beaker: *pats Telly*

----

Claudia: Oh! It was Ernie and Dr Teeth's birthday!

Bunsen: So it was. I suppose we should take a trip to the mall--where the normal people are.

Claudia: Yah, come on Telly we'll have loads of fun!

Telly: Ok!

---

Beaker: *Sees them leave* Meep? *is alone* MEEEPP! *celebrates*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Gloat: *finally realizes he was being talked to* Hey Claudia, Adams fine, if ya want to we can bring him here

*Just before mall*

Claudia: He could come to the mall with us...you could too!

Bunsen: Suddenly I feel like saying my own full name...Bunsen Honeydew.

Claudia: I'm starting to rub off on you. :D

Bunsen: Figures.

[BEAR]

(a pigeon swoops in and lands on Ryan's window with an envelope in his beak containing a birthday card from Bryan)

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Bert! Bert! Brian sent you a birthday card via air-mail!
Bert: Eheheheh! Oh, that was so nice of him.
Ernie: C'mon, old buddy Bert, we've gotta go get stuff for your party!
Bert: Oh, okay!
Ryan: *shakes head*

[The Count]

Uh, it's Bert's birthday, not Ernie's Claudia. Remind me to send you something I hope will cheer up your day.
Looks like everyone's set... Murray's with Beth, Maurice's with Erin, Telly's with Claudia and Big Bird's also with Beth... Though I thought I saw Bryan here somewhere. Oh well.
Count: That leaves us with 1, 1 furry friend to find a home for.
*Knock on the door.
Now who could that be?
Herry: Just lovable ol' Herry Monster. Heard you had a room I could spend the night at?
Count: Of course, set your luggage down and let's go get some snacks before the party.
Herry: Thanks Count.
Oh and Beth, if you want any Muppet movies, I have plenty to share.

[BeakerSqueedom]

[Opps thanks Count--sure send that haunter!]

Bunsen: See?

Claudia: I have bad memory ok? XD

[ZootyCutie]

Happy dappy birthday, Dr. Teeth!

Janice: Rully hope you like the presents! By the way, Maddie; like "happy dappy"? Like, that's rully lame.


It's not my fault that "dappy" is one of the only things that rhymes with "happy".

Dr. Teeth: Nevermind about that, girls. What did ya get me?


A new keyboard book, and a poster with some great keyboardists and their signatures on it.

Dr. Teeth: And that's why you guys are my friends.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(knock at door to room 7)

Erin: (opens door a crack) Maurice, is that you? (door opens wider) So it is! Hi, Maurice, come in, we've got the sofa bed made up for you.
Storyteller: There's soup and bread on the table, if you're hungry...
Nora: Yeah, and then we're all heading off to Dr. Teeth's party in a bit.

(up in heaven)

Richard: Is that Maurice? (looks down) Hi, Maurice, how ya doing?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *Drags self* Gift to Bert. *Gives him a CD player complete with headphones that could come useful for Ernie's talkative mannerisms and leaves it in front of the door*

Bunsen: I hope he likes these Ralph Lauren suits, we've spent hours in that store.

Claudia: Who knew you were such a fashionist? Very unlike you. *grumpy*

Telly: I got him this baby hermit crab in a bowl.

Claudia: *leaves*

[The Count]

*Bats leave a CD of rock and roll and jazz great hits wrapped up and waiting for Dr. Teeth, and a posterboard with bottlecaps depicting different location-specific monuments or identifying designs from around the world for Bert.

If anyone needs me, please leave a message as I'll probably be indisposed most of the day. Thanks, and enjoy your gifts boys.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *wakes up* The candyman.

Bunsen: Another nightmare?

Claudia: Yup, I have to stop watching them horror movies.

Bunsen: Yes, they appear so morbid.

Claudia:*brushing teeth* Yeghh, be showering. *closes door*

Bunsen: Alrighty then. *Plucks a hair off of Beaker with tweezers*

Beaker: MEEP! *jumps*

Bunsen: Thank you, now to put this strand of hair into the scanner.

Beaker: *peers curiously at it*

*Scanner purrs as a soft green light brushes over the piece*

Bunsen: Let's see the results. *goes to a little black screen*

Lacking:

Insufficent amount of iron.
More water.
Less sugar.
Exercise.

Bunsen: This small but valuable product, will spot any physical needs in the body to avoid the maturing of potential disease or illness however, it will will not detect any parasites.

Beaker: Oooo meemeemee?

Bunsen: Yes, it will detect weakness in the bones ect.

Claudia: *Brushes her hair quickly*

[anytimepally]

Randall: (sees Don leaning back in a chair with an ice pack on his head) Somgwriting again, Don?
Don: No.. that stupid monkey threw a banana at me!
Randall: Sal? Why?
Don: I stumbled and caught myself against Tony Bennett's case.
Randall: Ah, yes.. fingerprints.
(Don nods.)

(Johnny and Sal enter, carrying a cake a dressed for a luau)

Randall: What's going on, guys?
Sal: IT'S PAR-TAY TIME!
Randall: But why?
Johnny: I dunno.. Ma sent over this cake.. maybe it was supposed to be for Bert's birthday?... or even Dr. Teeth's. You know how Ma is.. she's always been a few days late.
Don: Maybe we should invite them up?
Johnny: Nah, let's just go down to the patio.. a sorta inpromtu barbaque.
Sal: Sounds great, Johnny! .. oh, and Don, sorry about earlier.
Don: Ah, don't worry about it.. I've hurt myself worse!
Randall: Ok.. let's go then... I'm always ready to party! I'll grab the canolis from the fridge.
Johnny: Sal, if you'd like to do the honors..
Sal: No problem, Johnny... ALL RIGHT, IF'N YOUSE GUYS WANT TO PARTY, GET YOUR HINDERS DOWN TO THE PATIO!

(we all leave, heading for the patio... Johnny begins to sing)

Johnny:
Outside my window, I can hear the radio
And I know that motor wagon is ready to fly,
All: 'Cause it's almost Saturday night.

Don:
Bye bye, tomorrow, Johnny's gone to the patio,
And you know good old friends are ready to ride,
All: 'Cause it's almost Saturday night.

Randall & Sal:
Gonna push the clouds away, let the music have it's way,
Let it steal my heart away, and you know I'm goooooiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnn'!

Johnny:
Outside the ringing, the night train is bringin' me home,
When you hear that locomotion get ready to ride,
All: 'Cause it's almost Saturday night.

Randall & Sal:
Gonna push the clouds away, let the music have it's way,
Let it steal my heart away, and you know I'm goooooiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnn'!

Johnny & Don:
Outside the ringing, the night train is bringin' me home,
When you hear that locomotion get ready to ride,
All: 'Cause it's almost Saturday night.

Sal: And you'd better believe it, buddy!

[BeakerSqueedom]

*Claudia & Co. hear faint singing*

Bunsen: That sounded so snazzy. *Chuckles* It's been awhile since we've had singing from other residents. It's been so long that we had to actually create a rather desperate song thanks to your previous stress. Of course you seem fine now--you should let Edward know so you could do those drawings for him.

Claudia: Your right, my grades might not be up to an A but it is at a B- sort of thing. Time to strech the old artsie fingers!

Bunsen: Yes, let me remind you to keep a balance between drawing and studying.

Claudia: Yah, I get carried away.

Beaker: Meeep meee meee!

Claudia: Oh that's awful nice of them to throw a party for Bert and Dr. Teeth!

Bunsen: We should attend soon--if nothing serious happens.

Claudia: *Wearing gas mask* Chemical fumes...too bad gas masks do not work too much but they will do. *turns off their air conditioner for the saftey of the others in the dorms* Open the window Beakie.

Beaker: Mee *opens*

Bunsen: *cleans up* Let's get out of the room until it clears.

Claudia & co. : *Leaves window open as they step out and close the door*

----

Beaker: Meee mee.

Claudia: I'm gonna take off--I want to just walk around. *waves* bye guys!

Bunsen: *a little surprised* Oh alrighty then. *Blinks*

Beaker: Meeemeeemee?

Bunsen: I guess we should just do our own thing too.

[Gloat]

*Boppity and Gloat walk in*

Adam: Hey guys, how was the walk?

Boppity: Terrible, we walked into a shop and the owner came up to us and said 'No pets! Get out!'

Adam: Well you should have explained that you weren't pets shouldnt you

Gloat: Nah, we decided to take our crocodile to the park instead

Adam: A crocodile?

Boppity: Are you crazy, a crocodile is far too big for a pet

Adam: Oh good *sighs*

Boppity: Crocodile is the name of our pet snake

Adam: Thats horrible!

Boppity: what you mean?

Adam: Poor thing must have wanted to kill itself after being seen with you!

Gloat: Well she must have been happy when the RSPCA came

Adam: Thank god they got it away from you

Gloat: The RSPCA don't seem to like people playing poker with snakes, so they took her and gave us some old guy to play with, but we got bored and came back

Adam: couldnt you have just played poker for the rest of the week and leave me and every other creature on this planet in peace?

Boppity & Gloat: nope

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *Tackles Adam* Sorry Adam for the little incident in the mall. Bunsen took too much time deciding suits for Bert. : D Beaker kept getting stalked by some muppet fan in the mall too. X3 Gloat and Bobbity are better company than mine--least they do not do experimentations on you.

[Gloat]

Adam: believe me, Boppity and Gloat are nothing to be proud of. Good thing is they get out a lot, so i dont have to look after them much

Gloat: *climbs on Adams shoulder* He loves us really

Adam: Yeh, sure *rolleyes*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Aw, Adam does Gloat. He's just hiding it. ;3 *Tease* *Groans*

Beaker: *Running through the hallway* MEEMEEE!

Bunsen: Beaker! *pant* Come back here at once!

Beaker: Nomeepmeepmeemee!

Bunsen: You may feel a little bit of pain as I open up your head for the insertion of this fascinating microchip but I assure you that you won't feel a thing after I do so!

Claudia: *Picks the two up by the collar* Don't run in the hallway Beaker, even if you are being chased by a derranged scientist. You could hurt someone.

Bunsen: *Frowns*Correction, I'm the wonderfully derranged handsome scientist!

Beaker: *Rolls eyes* Meeemeeemeee.

Bunsen: Don't you start with me young man. *Disdained*

Beaker: Mee.

Claudia: *Puts them down* *Laughing out her lungs* Ignore the handsome scientist Adam! XD

Bunsen: Oh, Adam! Hello there. *Adjusts wrinkled collar* *Ignores Claudia's immature rasberries ect.* Nice to see you..greetings to you both too. *Clears throat*

Beaker: *waves* Meemee.

[Gloat]

Adam: Heys guys, hope your having a nice time, how bout you take Gloat out with ya, im sure he wants some fun with head surgery *winks*

Gloat: What?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: *Smiles slyly* Oh that'd be utterly fantastic! *Chuckles eerily at the thought of inserting his mind control chip*

Claudia & Beaker: *Just stares at Bunsen*

Bunsen: Oh my, was it something I said? *Has a Mr. Rogers expression*

Claudia: Ok Bunnie. No more caffiene for you! : D *Nervous laugh*

Bunsen: I am just dandy. Now, I promise to make it very much painless Mr. Gloat..now if you would kindly step this wa-

Claudia: Bye Adam! Gotta fly! I don't want Eddie doing another time sequence change! XD *Tugs on Bunsen's lab coat*

Bunsen: Oh poo. *goes with her*

Beaker: phew.

[Gloat]

Adam: you're lucky Gloat, he was about to do head surgery on you

Gloat: Wouldnt have been too bad, im bored

*just then Boppity comes up the stairs with a big box, when he gets tro the top he falls backwards down the stairs*

Adam: Well that was todays laugh, wasnt up to the usual standards though

Gloat: you kidding? I thought it was great! *runs after Boppity only to fall down the stairs himself*

Adam: *walks up the the stairs and shouts down* Dont come crying to me when you get a bangin headache! *walks back into the dorm*

[tvlistingman]

PETER: Today, it is Bert's Birthday, and what should we get him tomorrow at Wal-Mart as some birthday gifts. I have a list

ZOE: He likes pigeons, so we can get him a Pigeon T-Shirt

PETER: Check

BABY BEAR: He Likes Oatmeal, so why don't we get him some Oatmeal Cookies

PETER: Check

LITTLE BIRD: and he Likes Bottle Caps and Paper Clips so we can get him 2 tins, One for his Bottle Caps and One For his Paper Clips

PETER: Good Idea, We'll have a good night everybody!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Wow, Dracula was real. *Watching History Channel*

Bunsen: Quite, he was so barbarous that he'd impale those unloyal to him or strike a nail into those who requested that he remove his turban. Which is why they labeled him to be Vladmir the impaler III--due to his grosteque nature they titled him to have a likeness to a vampire. So in other words, anything that had to do with the word Dracula would be associated as a dark symbolism of vamprism. He was a brilliant fighter but a terrible human being. It's a shame that his death was uncertain to how it came to be.

Claudia: Don't let Count hear you. Atleast we know not all vampires are bloodthirsty meanies.

Bunsen: Exactly, though keep in mind that Vladmir was not one.

Claudia: History is my specialty, no need to tell me that plus that is such a silly thing to tell me. Now where did that Biology book go. >_>

Bunsen: *looks around* Also, where did your Geology book go?

Claudia: *Gulps* I need those! Usually, I put everything in order...

Beaker: *reading bits of her books* Meemee.

Claudia: Gosh. *relief* Thought they were lost.

Bunsen: Thank goodness.

Claudia: Yah, who knew Beaker liked reading?

Beaker: *looks at her questioningly*

Bunsen: He always did that.

Claudia: Oh. : D

[The Count]

Count, dressed in his pajamas: Ah yes... Great Uncle Dracula... He vas the most famous one at the family reunions, ve used to have such fun talking about the batball games and the Old World.
Ah vell... Herry and Ed are asleep, though I noticed that nice Catherine checked back in. Mmm, think I'll retire for the night myself.
But before I do... MC Dorms vere brought to you by the letter M for midnight and by the number 5.
Nighty-night, and don't let the batty bats bite.

[Gloat]

Adam: *wakes up and smiles* Good Mornin everyone!

*boppity and Gloat come over*

Adam: ..... Thats just great guys, ruin my day! *tries to go to sleep again*

Boppity: ................ Lets go play twister! *start to walk away*

Adam: *grabs and hugs em* just kidding, lets go have some fun!

Gloat: But... you never have fun with us

Adam: Hey, schools out for summer, we can have fun all day and all night, with the help of Guiness! We're off to the bar!

Ahhh don't worry about Bunsan. He's nothing but a scientist. He's not scary.

Telly: You don't know the half of it. *runs into our room*

Thanks again Claudia for looking after him. Hope he didn't cause any trouble.

[The Count]

Hey Kyle... Glad to have you back.
Herry: Hey Kyle! *Slaps him on the back. Let me get my things and I'll be back upstairs in a sec.

[Erine81981]

You got it Ed. I love that show. *goes to my computer and cheaks it out*

[The Count]

*Goes back to Room #1, a grinning smile on my face as I hope Kyle hears some familiar names mentioned in Episode 15 and then hears the good news in Episode 16.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth *hanging up the phone*: Ok Murray, Kyle is back!
Murray: Oh boy! Thanks for letting me stay! *runs out the door*
Beth: Anytime
Big Bird: I wonder when Bryan will be back, I thought he'd be here by now

[Erine81981]

Ok. We now have 1, 2, 3, 4 monsters.

Murray: Glad you are back.

Me too Murray. I was missing everyone here at the dorms.

Grover: Me too. I just did not like that river.

That river was rough in some places.

Grover: You could say that again. I could not stand it after the first try.

Me too Grover. I was tired like you were. But we still went back.

Herry: What else did ya'll do?

Telly: Was it fun?

We'll we watched movies.

Grover: Play games.

Eat some burgers and hot dogs.

Murray: Hot dog?

Grover: Yep. I told everyone that you my freind Murray loves hot dogs.

Herry: Did you get anything?

Nope. I didn't have enough money to but Grover did.

Telly: What'd you get?

Grover: I got me a new t-shirt. *shows Telly, Murray and Herry*

Murray: That is cool! What does it read?

Telly: It reads "I surived the frio river."

Grover: This is one shirt that tells the truth.

[The Count]

You know... Got so caught up with the voting for Prawny, I forgot to ask him about his roomies and the ones he was watching. Oh well, Bryan will just have to wait until da' little shrimp gets back to reclaim his two buddies.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: So we got the Pigeon T-Shirt, the Oatmeal Cookies and two tins for his Bottle Caps and Paper Clips

ZOE: So why don't we give it to him right now

BABY BEAR: Okay

LITTLE BIRD: Bert is going to like it!

[Erine81981]

I almost forgot about Bert's birthday. Do we still have those things in the closet?

Grover: I thnk we do. I will cheak. *heads to the cloest*

Telly: I did make a card for Bert for us all to sign.

That's good Telly. *gets the card* Hey! That is awsome Telly. You did a great job.

Telly: Thanks. I wanted to draw something he would like on it.

Murray: Oooo Bert will love that. *writes his name in the card*

Grover: Is this it?

Yes! I thought we got rid of it. Good to see it still works. He'll enjoy this computer game of "Guess that Pigeon!" *signs the card*

Grover: *signs the card*

Herry: *signs the card*

I've heard that Ryan and his buddies aren't back from where ever it was they went so we'll give this to Bert when they arrive back. I'm just wondering where is Maurice at?

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(in room 7)

Nora: (looks up from Scrabble board) It sounds like Kyle's back, better grab your things, Maurice.
Erin: It was really nice having you here, Maurice, and do come by and visit again, soon.
Maurice: Thanks a lot, guys, and I promise I'll drop in again. (heads for door) Bye, and take care!

[Erine81981]

Maurice: *knocks*

Grover: *opens door* Hey Maurice! Where have you been?

Maurice: Where else but over at Erin's place. She and her roomie are such good friends. So how was the river?

Grover: Ok i guess. Me and Kyle kind of got some bruises.

My knee is hurting and my foot seems to be like it's puffy.

Maurice: Puffy?

Yep. That's what it feels like. How was your days here?

Maurice: Fun. Erin read me all of her Fan fics and we even played games.

Glad to see you had a fun time. I know me and Grover enjoyed our trip even for the bruises.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: Miss Claudia please!

Claudia: NOOO!

Bunsen: Your soup is getting cold!

Claudia: NOO!

Bunsen: I understand you dislike my cooking but think of your health!

Claudia: It's just a cold! >_> NOOO!

Bunsen: Come now...you are acting completley silly! Besides chicken is high in protein!

Claudia: >_> OOOoo...just like cottage cheese is high in protein and vitamins?

Beaker: Mee? O_o *confused*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: Claudia, if Bunsen cooked it, you'd better not eat it.
Nora: Yeah, the poison control center's kind of backed up today.
Storyteller: Erin, bring her some of your clam chowder. I'll brew up a pot of potato and radish stew.
Nora: (aside) So, Erin, which stories did you show to Maurice? I wasn't there.
Erin: Oh, just a few that I've been working on. They're the ones you've seen already, but I can't say any plot details out loud.
Nora: Oh, those. (sigh) But honestly, you're more secretive than J.K. Rowling.
Erin: Who, along with Karen Prell, has a birthday today.

[The Count]

Well... Cottage cheese is full of minerals. Especially after it's been turned from a gold bar into a block of cottage cheese by one of Bunsen's old inventions.

[Gloat]

Adam: *finishes attaching number Plate to the dorm door showing '23'* Finally, didnt think it would be so hard

Boppity: still not found a bar?

Adam: could you be patient? I have to do this first

Boppity: well, i dont drink alcohol anyway

Adam: *groans*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Erin: Claudia, if Bunsen cooked it, you'd better not eat it.
Nora: Yeah, the poison control center's kind of backed up today.
Storyteller: Erin, bring her some of your clam chowder. I'll brew up a pot of potato and radish stew.
Nora: (aside) So, Erin, which stories did you show to Maurice? I wasn't there.
Erin: Oh, just a few that I've been working on. They're the ones you've seen already, but I can't say any plot details out loud.
Nora: Oh, those. (sigh) But honestly, you're more secretive than J.K. Rowling.
Erin: Who, along with Karen Prell, has a birthday today.

Bunsen: I may not cook as well as Swedish Chef but golly! I'd doubt my food to be poisionous.

Claudia: I have my suspicions, Bunsen. Thanks guys!

[The Count]

Hello from the dorms management team.

Hope you guys are enjoying this, the first day of the month of August 2007. Couple of things...
To all dorms residents, remember that towards the end of the month everyone will have to vacate the building and seek temporary housing arrangements as we near the anniversary when you'll have to resubmit your application if you wish to stay for another year.
But on to happier news... Or should that be mews? We'd like to wish a happy purrday or birthday to Wanda the Cat. If you have birthday wishes, gifts, or cards, please leave them at Room #3 or talk to Beth if she needs help with the party preparations for later tonight.

Thanks and have a good day.

[redBoobergurl]

Red: Party! Party!
Beth: Shhh....we don't want Wanda to hear us!
Red: Oh yeah
Cookie: What we do for her birthday?
Beth: Well I thought that just us roomies could take her to lunch and then tonight we can have a party for the rest of the dorm down at the pool
Red: Sounds like a plan!
Cookie: Me get the cake
Beth: You promise not to eat it?
Cookie: Me promise
Red: I'll go get the pools cleaned
Beth: And I'll distract Wanda. *goes to find Wanda in the bathroom where she is getting ready for the day* Hey Wanda!
Wanda: Good morning!
Beth: Happy birthday! How would you like to go for manicures and pedicures this morning?
Wanda: Really? That sounds great! Thanks! *they leave the dorm*

[BEAR]

Bry: hey everyone! I'm back! Where is everyone?

[redBoobergurl]

Big Bird *tackles Bryan in big hug*: RIGHT HERE! Welcome back!

[The Count]

Hi Bry... Telly's upstairs with Kyle. Bert and Ernie seem to have gone off with Prawny, they'll be back at week's end.
Hi Beth... And how's the purrday girl? *Gives Wanda a big hug.
See you at the party tonight.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Wha wha? >_> WHA? Birthday..mmfmm *snuggles to the pillow* Bunsen got Wanda's pressie? *Drowsy*...*Overslept*

Bunsen: Yes, I am to leave it by her door right now. *Holding a bird plush*

Beaker: *Holding a mouse plush* Mee. *Follows Bunsen*

Bunsen & Beaker: *leaves the gifts by the door*

---

[redBoobergurl]

OOC: We had a major tragedy in my city tonight. I'm ok, but a bridge collapsed in the heart of Minneapolis, and it's kind of consuming me tonight. I apologize, please go on with the party, Wanda is all ready to celebrate. Thanks, I'll check in tomorrow.

[The Count]

OOC: Glad to hear that big cousin. *Hugs. You know, I'd be wery suspicious of that bridge collapsing. You sure it wasn't caused by all the sports fans upset at the trades made killing the Twins and T-Wolves? Hope you're OK though.

Count: Do you have the present my fiend?
Me: Yep... Got Wanda a cookbook and a pair of fuzzy feeted slippers. Now come on, I think there's some music leading us off to the poolhouse.
*Both head upwards inside the elevator and out the walled walkway to the watery wings of the poolhouse, accompanied by a haunting magic pipe's music.

Count: I say 1, 2, ah-ha!
Me: Play me do... Let me sound as sweet as you.
Count: Play me vide, play me long.
Both: Let me be your song... Happy birthday Wanda!

[BeakerSqueedom]

OOC: I hope you get better. I am so glad you were not on that bridge when it happened! D: *hugs her caringly*

Bunsen: Oh dear, Beth must be troubled as she has not gone to her friend's party. I-I think I should...

Beaker: *puts hand on his shoulder* meep meep?

Claudia: You seem a little speechless Bunnie. *not sarcastic*

Bunsen: I did get some flowers experimented on earlier--they did get bigger and more beautiful...I suppose Beth should like them.

Claudia: You act as if you had a crush on her. *Jokes gently*

Bunsen: Oh stop it, I simply hate to see a person feel distraught especially someone who seems so kind. I hope this sends a smile to her face.

Beaker: *writing a card*

Dear Beth,

The heart of your city may be a bit wounded but our hearts expand for you.

Love,

Beaker, Bunsen and Claudia.

P.S

sorry if it sounds corny. Bunsen told me to write that but we are glad that you are ok. Glad it was not you on that bridge. Claudia would cry her heart out and eat loads of doughnuts and torture me and Bunsen for an eternity. XD


Bunsen: Ready?

Beaker: Mee.

Bunsen: Ooo, I just adore your hand writing.

Beaker: Mee? *looks modest* Meee.

Bunsen: *chuckles* *Lays the card and overgrown beautiful flowers at Beth's door*

---

[BEAR]

Bry: I hope Wanda likes this album of jazz standards that Hoots helped me put together. I'll just leave it here by their door along with this plate of cookies for Beth. (leaves covered plate and wrapped gift at the foot of room 3's door)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: >_> *edits the card*

Dear Beth,

The heart of your city may be a bit wounded but our hearts expand for you.

Love,

Beaker, Bunsen and Claudia.

P.S

sorry if it sounds corny. Bunsen told me to write that but we are glad that you are ok. Glad it was not you on that bridge. Claudia would cry her heart out and eat loads of doughnuts and torture me and Bunsen for an eternity. XD

ooorrr....ask Bunsen to make a Beth clone. : D I am like sooo smart.

;3 Feel better.


Bunsen: You are one strange individual.

Claudia: *slinks off*

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Aww, thanks for the flowers, Bunsen, Beaker and Claudia. The card was very nice too. Thanks for the cookies Bry. I'm feeling better today.
Cookie: Me let you have cookies
Beth: It's ok Cookie, I'll share
Cookie: Ok, thanks
Beth: How did the party go?
Wanda: It was really fun, I have some wonderful friends here
Beth: I'm glad, I"m so sorry I didn't make it
Wanda: You had other things on your mind, it's ok. Besides, we did get pedicures yesterday!
Beth: That's true!

[The Count]

*Leaves a baggy filled with coconut kisses tied to Room #3's doorknob. For Beth and Wanda, and Cookie and Red... Hope these show that you're all tops when it comes to my forum friends.
Signed: Ed and The Count.

Count: Vell, I vonder if Cookie's gotten a chance to read her latest story.
Yeah... She'll probably have much more real-life inspiration to draw from now, after what happened yesterday.

Oh well... *Goes to start up some inventory errands.

[Katzi428]

leaving a (slightly belated )present for Wanda. a bag of treats.Also,leaving a plant for Beth with a note that says "Hope you're OK.Love,Kathy & the crew in room 3" Then coming back to Room 6.
Hi Prairie....what are you doing?
Prairie: Hmm?Oh!Morning Kathy!Just watching some home movies.Can't believe my birthday is tomorrow!

Prairie:Anything wrong?:concern:

Prairie:Your Aunt Kathy,right? I hope she's OK.
Oh...she's fine.But I'll be visiting her from tomorrow til Saturday.She has a place down here.
Prairie:Wow...that's cool!Have fun!
So...you're not mad that I won't be here for your birthday?I'll be home Saturday night & we'll do something special.
Prairie:Kath...I know how much you love your aunt.And family does come first.So yes,I understand.And I'm notmad.
Thanks Prairie...you're the best!

[Katzi428]

3 hours later
Hey Prairie...just got off the phone with my mom.
Prairie:What's up?
Turns out we'll be leaving later than I thought tomorrow.So how's about we go to breakfast tomorrow? You too,of course,Rosita.:)
Prairie:Ooh...GREAT!Thanks Kathy!:excited:
Rosita:YAY! Can't wait!

[Gloat]

*Adam and Boppity place a large box of choc chip cookies at the door of room 3*

Adam: There we go

Boppity: It only took us a few hours to find the room aswell

Adam: It took you 3 hours, you brung the present on your own

Boppity: Oh yeh

[redBoobergurl]

Wanda: I'm just so happy to have so many wonderful friends here. *writes thank you cards to The Count and Ed, Boppity and Gloat, Bryan, and Kathy and her roomies*
Beth: Me too *also writes Thank yous to the above*
Cookie: Thank you for sharing you cookies
Beth: Anytime, anytime
Red: So Cookie, did you read this story that Beth started about you?
Cookie: Yes, me did. Me like it though, even if me hit by Oscar
Red: Welcome to the club my friend. Future roomies beware! This girl loves to write about us!

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Oh, Bryan, I'm so glad you're back!
Bry: Me too, Big Bird.
Telly: Where were you anyway?
Bry: Well, we've been having a lot of long rehearsals for the play I'm in for the last couple of weeks and I just needed to be away for a bit. I figured it would be more fun for you guys to stay with some of our Dorm buddies than sit around alone here in the room.
Telly: We would have found something to do, but I had a great time at Kyle's. I always do. And even Claudia was a good host for those couple days. Her roommates just make me nervous.
Bry: Oh, you know Bunsen means well. He's just a bit eccentric at times. Who isn't around here, afterall?
Telly: Yeah.
Bry: Big Bird: Did you enjoy staying with Beth and her crew?
Big Bird: Oh yeah! You know it was Wanda's birthday yesterday.
Bry: I did. I send a small gift over there last night. I should send Beth, Kyle, Claudia, Ed and Ryan a little something as a thank you for watching over you guys last week.
Telly: I think Ryan is still gone.
Big Bird: And he's got Bert and Ernie with him.
Bry: Oh, that's right. Well, we'll get him something later.
Big Bird: So what are we going to do today?
Bry: Oh, I didn't tell you. We're having our preview performance tonight and tomorrow is our opening.
Big Bird: Can we go?
Bry: I've already got tickets for the whole Dorm to come tomorrow night. It's only a sixty-seat house so it should hold everybody.
Big Bird: Yaaaaaaaaaaay!
Telly: Al-riight! (pumps fist)

(plates of assorted muffins are sent to Ed, Claudia, Beth and Kyle with a thank you note)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: Beth seems to do just fine now. Poor girl got into a bit of a shock but thankfully she is alright. I feel such euphoria at this point. Suddenly an erg of energy has zapped me into an energetic state. Strange, perhaps I am experiencing happiness from helping a dear friend.

Claudia: Totally, Beth is like uber cool ok?

Bunsen: Er...hmm..like totally girlfriend?

Claudia: Don't ever do that again. You sound so un-you. XD

Bunsen: I guess you are right. Oh look! *Sees the thank you note and muffins* Bryan has sent us assorted muffin delights!

Claudia: YUM! : D *reads note* aw, that big lug.

Beaker: *munches on a muffin* *eats it approvingly*

Claudia: It's yummy! : P *eating*

Bunsen: Ooo, tickets to a performance? Oh how exciting!

[The Count]

Count: Edvard?
Mmm... Yeah? *Almost falling asleep.
Count: Bryan left us some delicious muffins as a sort of thank-you for looking after Bert and Ernie last veek.
Aw, that's nice of him... Did you count how many he dropped off?
Count: Yes, he left us 6 scrumptious cornbread pecan muffins.
Oh good. Did you already have one?
Count: Vell... Yes, so six take avay one is...
Correction. Six take away two.
Count: Huh?
*Ed takes a muffin for himself and sets it aside.
Count: Oh, then that'd make it four muffins left.
Fright. Now then... *Instructs Batty and opens the window so he can take care of the errand.
Count: Vhat did you ask of him? And vhere are the remaining muffins?
Sent them upstairs to Catherine and her roomies, they can have the rest of our baked goods. Sort of an offering to try and perk her up.
Count: Are you trying to get her to post that chapter?
Maybe... We'll just have to wait and see though, won't we.
Count: Yes... Vell played.
Quite. Now let's get to work on our own little projects.
Count: Mmm, indeed, I've been looking forvard to those two haunters. And Claudia did such a good job drawing Alton.
Indubitably... Waiting to see her to ask if she'd like the info for the next one.

*Both enjoy a bit of doodling and creative character consultation brainstorming.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *pouty* I've been waiting for another art request from Eddie. D:

Bunsen: Perhaps, he was waiting for you to do just that.

Claudia: OH! Well gee! I did not know that. I should tell him that--when he is up of course. I don't wanna disturb his sleep. Mesa is to sleep now. :3

Bunsen: Silly you.

Claudia: mmffmm. *snuggles on pillow*

Beaker: meee.

Claudia: I'll send him a note harry potter style!

Bunsen: I'll do that. *Gets Beaker on a jetpack and stuffs a note in his pocket* *plays Hp music*

Beaker: O_o; Mee? *is shot out the window* MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! D: MEEMOMO! *Is splattered against Edward's window* *Sticks the note on the glass with some sticky material and blasts back to his room a little shaken up*

Note to Edward:

I am ALWAYS happy to make character drawings. Once I finish a particular drawing send me the next character. I am ALWAYS happy to do it. :D So do not wait for me and just send that info going. I intend to draw all of them so as to give you some stable ---person for drawing your creative characters.

Yours truly,

SUPER CLAUDIA!

P.S.

Alton looks a bit like Frank Sinatra no? XD


----

Claudia: *cradling Beaker* BUNSEN!

Bunsen: Yes? *looks innocent*

Beaker: *shaking* meeemeemeeme XD

[The Count]

Batty comes back after delivering the muffins to Catherine, his claws scratch off the note plastered on the outside of our basement room's window.
*Reads message. Oh! That's vonderful! Sent her the info for the next one... Will have to do something for her when next we meet. And look out Claudia, cause I'll be on the huggles path straight to you.

Sleep well everybody.
Count: The dorms vere brought to you by the letter W and by the number 9.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: >___> Bunsen?

Bunsen: Mmm?

Claudia: *shows him the last page of Deathly Hallows*

Bunsen: Oh, yes. We fell asleep reading the previous page. Let's see what's become of it. *sits next to her and reads it to himself as to not give out any spoilers*

Beaker: *Watching over Claudia's shoulder* *reads to himself too*

Claudia: WOAH THAT IS SO COOL! :D

Bunsen: You're right!

Beaker: MEE! :D

[The Count]

*Hears a knock at the door... Now who could that be?
*Opens the door to Room #1 to find a little purring orange city kitty, a blue monster who used to have batty wings and a Spanish accent, and a piano-playing pink Muppet girl.

Oh hey girls... Come on in. *Gives them all another hug. Kathy left to go visit her namesake aunt huh? Sure, you can stay here till tomorrow when she gets back.

Now come on, we've got a lot to do to get the party for miss P.D. ready tonight.
*Calls Beth to ask Red if she can have the pool cleaned for agood weekend wetbash.

Bunsen: First things first, get the gifts.

Adam: no

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Today is Prairie Dawn's birthday? Yaaaaaaay! I just love parties!
Telly: What are we going to get her as a present?
Bry: Well, I've already got for her 3 tickets for her and her roomies to come and see my play, Sunday in the Park with George. I wanted to invite the whole Dorm House tonight, but seeing as how there's already a party going on, I think everyone will most likely stay here. The tickets I'm giving Prairie are good for any time she wants to see it.
Telly: So are you not going to the party tonight?
Bry: I don't see how since we have our opening night performance at 8 pm. And then of course there's the gala afterwards.
Big Bird: That's true. You need to be there.
Bry: Yes, but the two of you should go to Prairie's party. You can see my show anytime. It runs for seven weeks. Big Bird, you still gonna draw the birthday card?
Big Bird: Uh huh!
Bry: Good. Telly, why don't you go downstairs and see if Kathy or Ed need any help with the party planning. I'm going to start baking.
Telly: Yes, sir! (salutes and runs downstairs)

[The Count]

Hi Telly... Since it's still light out, and Big B's busy... If you could, take these streamers with 6's printed on them and hang them on the walkway that leads to the poolhouse. Have to make a call to Snuffy's mom to arrange a surprise and then I'll bring you the tank to fill the balloons.

Rosita, you're in charge of the menu, I hope we have enough staples to make some of our friends traditional party favorites.
Rosita: Sí, you can count on me Ed.
Count: Splendid, vhat chore do you have for me?
You get the invitations sent out... And help Rosita should we need to pay for anything extra that's not currently in the pantry.
Count: *Salutes. Wery vell. *Sets to writing out invites to the party tonight, as we'll finally be feasting in name of Prairie Dawn and Wanda as well.

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Hi, Ed. Now that I've finished drawing Prairie's birthday card, Bryan sent me out here to help. I can hang streamers and things in high places. I'm very tall you know.

(Bryan is in the room puting the show tickets for Prairie in an envelope with Big Bird's card, which was signed by Bryan, Big Bird and Telly, and then the envelope is taken down by Bernice the Pigeon to be placed on the gift table.)

[redBoobergurl]

Wanda: So do you think Prairie will like this songbook of American Classics for piano and voice?
Beth: I'm sure she will
Red: I'm so excited for the party!
Cookie: Me excited for the food!

[The Count]

Hi Big Bird. OK, please take these tassle streamers and hang them from the higher parts of the walls in the poolhouse. Oh, and then you can help Snuffy with the surprise we have set up for the party-goers.
Rosita should be there with the buffet table and fixings for burgers and salad and chips and dips, she hinted she might make some refried bean or black bean dipping compote for the tortilla chips.
*Places Prairie's gifts in a cart and wheels it to the common room's elevator. This'll make it easier to take everything outside to where we're having the shindig. Mmm, wonder if Cookie'd like helping out as our taste-tester. Oh well, Count should be back with Prairie in an hour or two, they went out to Rainbow Connections Moviehouse to spend the afternoon... And give us a chance to get the place ready.
*Leaves en route for the poolhouse adjacent to the main dorms building.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: Need help Edward?

Beaker: Mee mee.

*Claudia rushes to hide the gifts in her room*

[The Count]

Hmmm... Thought I heard Bunsen and Beaker about. Oh well, guess everybody's hiding in the poolhouse waiting to surprise the birthday girl, or girls as the case may be. Better go join them there.
*Puts on his swim trunks, T-shirt, rubberized slippers, grabs a towel, and heads upstairs and out to where the congregation of ravel rousers are currently gathered.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Oh there is a party?

Bunsen: Why are you hiding the gifts?

Claudia: They are for your lab mouse! D: packages of cheese! : D

Bunsen: Oh, so those gifts in your arms are for Miss Dawn?

Claudia: Yah! *Holding a big box that is wrapped neatly and stuffed into a pink bag* She'll love these dresses I got her. It was hard to find her size but it was oddly possible.

Bunsen: Lets get going to that party.

Beaker: *carrying towels* Mee.

Claudia: AWWW! I LOVE YOUR SHORTS! They have smilies. XD You still have those Beaker?

Beaker: Mee.

Claudia: Your only wearing it because I bought them for yah?

Beaker: *nod*

Bunsen: *Chuckles* I just have a plain ones. Lets get going.

Claudia: You look wierd in those buuuttt...I am use to seeing you in a lab coat. XD

Bunsen: I do not blame you.

*All go off to poolhouse*

[tvlistingman]

PETER: We have the Electric Keyboard as a Present for Prairie Dawn to Practice her songs and the birthday card

ZOE: And we got the food for the party

LITTLE BIRD: Swimming trunks on

BABY BEAR: Let's go to the Poolhouse for Prairie Dawn's Birthday Party!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *Stares blankly at the screen* Wow, Notre Dame is probably the most adult thing in Disney. I just understood the whole thing now. Seeing it as a ten year old I could not. O_o *scratches head* Strange movie but it shows exactly just how brutal and ignorant were the people of that era. *Sticks tounge out in disgust* Frollo is ew but anyway...the voice-over actor had a wonderful singing voice.

Bunsen: That movie is better than any other movie I've seen from Disney. It had more quality and was not dumbed down so much--though it is a little strong for the children.

Beaker: O_O *staring at the screen all disturbed*

Claudia: *Giggles* I sound like Statler and Waldorf. Anyway, did you all enjoy the party? I forgot to give Dawn her gifts.

Beaker: *takes the large box containing pretty dresses, gets out of the room and leaves it by Kathy's door*

Bunsen: It was very nice though Beaker made too many 'water' bombs with his jumping. I kept getting wet.

Claudia: -_- you already were though.

Bunsen: I know.

Beaker: Meememememe!

[The Count]

Yes... It's one of my top faves as well, fright up there with Little Mermaid.
Hey Prairie, I think someone lef some gifts for you at Kathy's door.
Prairie: Really? I'll be just a moment. She leaves Room #1 and retrieves the present with pretty pink dresses from Claudia and her friends, enters the room and hangs them on her dresser to try them out later, and returns to Room #1 after closing Room #6's door.
Count: So, how vere they?
Prairie: Some very lovely dresses.
Rosita: Why don't we go out for lunch before Kathy returns?
That's a good idea, Everybody Eats?
Roomies: Yaey!

The entire party departs for the restaurant, we'll be back soon.
*Hangs a little sign on our door saying "Out to Lunch".

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Marty: Sorry we haven't been around very much lately. We wish a belated Happy Birthday to all the residents we've missed and a very happy birthday to Prairie Dawn.

Bill: Marty has been working on fan fic updates. I love the way your Father Marty story is coming along.

Marty: Thank you Bill. I hope I can put you in it somewhere.

Bill: That'll be great Marty. Thanks.

Marty: We will endeavour not to neglect you all as much.

Bill: See you soon.

[Katzi428]

entering Room 6 Hi...I'm back!....oh yeah...you girls must be at the pool.

Prairie coming out of the pool with goggles on Hi Kath! How was your visit with your aunt?

[The Count]

*Bopping head to the tune of MC Radio we brought along poolside.
Hi Kath, these two are ready for you to bring 'em bak home. *A blur of orange darts out and leaps up onto Kathy's shoulders.
Her too, apparently.

[Katzi428]

*Bopping head to the tune of MC Radio we brought along poolside.
Hi Kath, these two are ready for you to bring 'em bak home. *A blur of orange darts out and leaps up onto Kathy's shoulders.
Her too, apparently.
Hee-hee.holding Gaffer in my arms Looks like a certain orange ball of fur missed me even though I was only gone for one day.Thanks for keeping an eye on her & the girls,Ed. Prairie and Rosita? You two all set to head back downstairs?
the girls whisper something,giggle & yellTIDALWAVE! and splash me causing me to get drenched!:eek:
UGGGHHH! Oh aren't you two a riot!:rolleyes:
Rosita getting out of the pool Oh we know.But it's SO good to see you,Kathy!hugging me with her wet body and laughing
ROSITA! Good thing that I'm not dressed up fancy.I think you scared poor Gaffer.
Gaffer under a lounge chair,looking scared Meow?
Rosita:Ay,gatitaI'm sorry.Come on out.I won't get you wet again.
Prairie towel wrapped her body : I'm ready to go. Thanks for the great party and presents everyone!

Gaffer:Prrrtt...
OK.putting Gaffer in her carrier 'Night everyone.

[The Count]

Well... Think that's my cue to skadew too.
*Gets his travel-along MC Radio and plastic tumbler with cup of iced tea, heading back indoors and downstairs to Room #1.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Hey, Erin, you okay? We didn't see you at the party.
Storyteller: Yeah, what's going on?
Erin: I'm okay, you guys, I just had an upset stomach - and since it's been so hot lately, I think I might have had some heat exhaustion, too.
Nora: Ergh, that is not fun.
Erin: But did Prairie Dawn get those books of piano music I sent along? And that copy of "How to Direct a Play When the Whole Thing's Falling Apart?"
Storyteller: Duly delivered. And Wanda loved that angora wrap we gave her.
Erin: Excellent, excellent...(leans back on sofa)
Nora: Heat exhaustion...sure looks that way.
Erin: Yeah, well, I've always been a cool/cold weather person. If I have to put on a sweater to go outside, I'm happy.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *falls asleep near her computer after finishing a teaser comic drawing* Fmm...Alchemy was actually written....in codes....olden times...*Mumble*

Beaker: Meemee..*looks at drawing*

Bunsen: Oh look...it's Mr. Kermit and Mr. Fiama...looks so identical.

Beaker: *nod*

Bunsen: Wonder why she changed her mind about becoming an artist.

Beaker: *shrug* mee.

[BEAR]

Big Bird: (snoring) Qua-qua-qua-qua...
Bry: Zzzzzzzz...
Telly: Zzzzzzzz...
Chuckie Sue: (nawing on the bars of her cage)

[Gloat]

*In the lobby*

Gloat: *humming tune happily*

Adam: why are you so happy? *smiles*

Gloat: Oh, im not happy *carries on humming*

Adam: Oh, alright then *looks confused* you need a haircut by the way

Gloat: What *looks at hair around his neck* i dont need a haircut

Adam: oh yes you do, you look a mess

Gloat: but my hair is supposed to be messy, it gives me character!

Adam: but thats the problem!

Gloat: *moving away*

Adam: Dont worry, im joking, i love your messy green hair, its Boppity's thats the problem

Gloat: *sighs* can we go do something fun?

Adam: no

Gloat: *blinks*

Adam: kidding ya, if anyone wants to have fun with us we can then

[The Count]

Hmmm... Thought I heard Prawny quietly clinking back into his room.
Count Ah, so good to have family back home where they belong.
Yep, he'll have to see if Bryan's in to send Bert and Ernie back, they might have to spend the night with that guy and his cast of roomies.
Count: Indeed...

You know... I wonder how Uncle Deadly would feel about having another relative.
Count: Another one?
Oh yeah... Already have plans to bring him and Auntie Eleanor into the castle's count... With a niece and nephew who are dragons too... Just thinking I found the angle for that fiery Mexican dragon from Power Rangers to join the family. But that's a long ways away, just keep the news to yourself OK Count?
Count: You can count on me.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: That was a splendid movie!

Claudia: *puts her purse on her chair happily* *Eyes flashing with enthusiasm* IT WAS GREAT!

Bunsen: Yes, Dumbledore had style.

Claudia: That part made me laugh but I hate Cho Chang now. Ratting on the group so unloyaly.

Bunsen: Well, her feelings got in the way.

Claudia: Tell that to the crazy lady Umbridge! Torturing young students!

Bunsen: It was very disturbing but that film had heart.

Claudia: AND ACTION! : D

Beaker: *grabs a stick and pretends to shoot a crucio curse*

Claudia: OH OUCH! THE AGONY! OH GOSH THE LIGHT IS FLASHING BEFORE ME EYES!

Bunsen: Fear not! *chuckles* *pretends to do occulemency*

Beaker: MEEMEE!

Claudia: *laughing loudly* SILLIES!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: But in the book, the squealer was some girl named Marietta.
Erin: Yeah, and when she did, her face looked like Vendaface had just gotten through with it.
Nora: Uh-huh - if Vendaface had a "really ugly zits and blemishes" option.
Erin: And I think it does - Beaker, stop zapping Claudia with the Crucio Curse, that's an Unforgivable Curse!
Storyteller: An Unforgivable Curse - just like my brother-in-law's singing voice.
Nora: He's that bad?
Storyteller: Oh, dear Lord, whenever he sings, flowers wilt and the Ditzies' light becomes noticeably darker.
Erin: He is that bad.
Nora: And what do you guys think of Umbridge?
Storyteller: Don't go there.
Erin: Yeah, or else I might be tempted to use words that would be spelled out with asterisks.

[The Count]

Yes... That's why I love being a fan of something where I have friends that can supply answers like Erin, cause they're as big fans as I am.
Although... The movie directors probably did that in order to make the break-up between Harry and Jo more believable. Unforgivable curses, and yet they used them all over the place in the last three books. If you thought Umbridge was a BA lady in OOTP, wait till you see/read about her in DH.

Oh well, gotta get a move on, new term duties creeping up.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Nora: But in the book, the squealer was some girl named Marietta.
Erin: Yeah, and when she did, her face looked like Vendaface had just gotten through with it.
Nora: Uh-huh - if Vendaface had a "really ugly zits and blemishes" option.
Erin: And I think it does - Beaker, stop zapping Claudia with the Crucio Curse, that's an Unforgivable Curse!
Storyteller: An Unforgivable Curse - just like my brother-in-law's singing voice.
Nora: He's that bad?
Storyteller: Oh, dear Lord, whenever he sings, flowers wilt and the Ditzies' light becomes noticeably darker.
Erin: He is that bad.
Nora: And what do you guys think of Umbridge?
Storyteller: Don't go there.
Erin: Yeah, or else I might be tempted to use words that would be spelled out with asterisks.

[OOC: Deathly Hallows was AWESOME but anyway...]

Claudia: Umbridge is demented, terrible, vile and plastic! The pink...kittens...the happy creepiness. THE RULES D:!

Bunsen: Dreadful, however, she is very attractive.

Claudia & Beaker: O_O;;; *stares at him*

Bunsen: Well, she was rather pretty to look at..

Claudia: You know I thought that you'd like tonks but..Umbridge?

Bunsen: ...she...she's just something nearly exact to my fancy that's all.

Claudia: EWW! D:

Beaker: *shakes*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: (shocked) Bunsen? Did you just say that Umbridge was attractive?
Erin: (in kitchen, over whir of blender) Good grief, he has gone off the deep end.
Nora: And Ed was right - if you thought she was bad in "Phoenix..." (pause) Erin, what are you doing in there? (goes into kitchen, where E. has an array of fruits spread out over the stove and counter)
Erin: It's sorbet season, and I'm making a few batches for the dorms. I'm working on the mango-orange at the moment, and then I'm going to do kiwi, lemon, maybe some lime...
Nora: Wow...this place is going to look like an extension to Deep Freeze or Cold Comfort.
Storyteller: You make that sound like a bad thing - Erin, dear, save some lime for me, won't you?
Erin: Will do - and I think Richard's already got his eye on the mango-orange.

(up in heaven)

Richard: You know I do.
Jim: I'll take some kiwi, Jerry's put in an order for the lime, Joe and Eren both want some of the lemon and Christine wants some of the mango-orange.

[The Count]

Put in a request for a lime and coconut sorbet from Erin's shop... Better ask for a second coconut for the ol' counting man though.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: Lime's coming through, but the kiwi's on hold.
Nora: What happened?
Erin: Don't have enough kiwis. Storyteller, could you pass me that coconut on the counter there?
Storyteller: Certainly.
(E. takes a hammer and nail, punches holes in the coconut and lets the milk drain into a measuring cup)
Erin: Nora (opens purse, takes out a few dollars), could you make a run to the fruit stall down near Nelson Square and grab a few more kiwis, please?
Nora: Will do. (departs)

[The Count]

Hmmm... Wonder if any of Mr. Macintosh's relations work at that fruit stall. Oh well, off to the fanfics!

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: So are you ok with what I've written Cookie?
Cookie: Me fine with it. It just a story
Beth: Good, I'm glad you don't mind

[BEAR]

(at Hooper's...)

Bry: (cleaning counters when the phone rings) Hooper's in Hensonville, this is Bryan.
Telly: (calling from dorms, he is eating some sorbet) Hi, Bryan! How's work?
Bry: Kinda slow actually. Bert and Ernie back yet?
Telly: I haven't seen 'em.
Bry: (hears lip smacking) What are you eating?
Telly: Oh! Strawberry sorbet. Erin made it!
Bry: Really?
Telly: Yeah. She's made all kinds of flavors. It's so sweet and refreshing, especially on a hot day like today.
Bry: Sounds good. I wonder if she'd be willing to make some to sell at the store.
Telly: I can ask!
Bry: Thanks, Telly!
(Telly runs off to talk to Erin)

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *yawns*
Uncle Deadly: Good to see you back and writing again, my fiend.
Ryan: Thanks Uncle D.
Uncle Deadly: Now get to it!
Ryan: *sigh* Yes sir.

[BEAR]

Ernie: Ryan, is it okay if we go back to our own room now?
Bert: yeah I think I heard Bryan was back.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *blink* I didn't even realize you guys were still here! Yes, please, by all means go on back, sorry guys. Tell Bry I said hi!

[BEAR]

Ernie: You didn't notice we were still here or that your floor is covered in Jell-o. Ah well...come on, Bert!

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *blink blink* *shakes head* I hope Rizzo's hungry.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (ladling finished sorbets into cartons) Nora, hurry up with the kiwis!
Nora: (runs into kitchen, drops a paper bag full of kiwis onto the counter) Got as much as I could carry!
Erin: Excellent, excellent, thanks a bunch. (starts weighing and chopping kiwis)
Nora: Did you make strawberry as well?
Erin: Yeah, Telly came by here and got some earlier. (mixes kiwis with lime juice, and whirs them in a blender)
Storyteller: There's someone at the door, hang on. (answers door) Hello, Telly, good to see you again...what? Really? One moment. (goes back to kitchen) Would you be willing to sell some at Deep Freeze and Cold Comfort, as well as Hooper's?
Erin: Me? Make sorbet to sell? Well...
Storyteller: Come on, they'd go wild for it.
Nora: Yeah, your stuff is really popular here in the dorms.
Erin: Hmmm...hey, why not. And I might show them some of my gelato recipes as well...
Storyteller: That's our girl. (to Telly) Tell Bry she's keen on it...yes, see you later. (returns to kitchen) Aren't those seraphim up there (points to Jim and Richard and co's cloud) supposed to be coming down here for some sorbet?
Erin: Yes, they are. Nora, ladle out, let's see...two lemons for Jeff and Eren, one lime for Jerry, one strawberry for Jim, 'cause the kiwi's not done, and two mango-oranges for Richard and Christine. And call Ed, tell him that batch of lime with coconut is done.

[The Count]

*Two car-hop waitress bats flutter past the window of Room #7... They pick up the lime and coconut sorbet for Ed, and the coconut sorbet with pieces of toasted shredded coconut for the Count.
*They leave a nice tip for Erin before coming back home to Room #1 and then off to their midnight minnarets at the master's doomicile.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: Thank you, lovely bats. (puts tip money in jar marked: For next trip to Europe)
Nora: Shouldn't Jim and the others be arriving?
Storyteller: Hmmm...one Fraggle friend of mine who specializes in the paranormal says that there is an unusually large amount of...
Nora: Paranormal activity?
Storyteller: Yes, right outside our door.

(outside)
Jerry Juhl: I told you, we should have come in twos and threes.
Joe Raposo: It's kinda crowded out here.
Richard: Yeah, we could have waited, but our sorbet would have melted.
Jim: And after all that hard work she's put into it...
Christine: Not to mention all the time we've spent daydreaming about it.
Eren: Please, just knock on the door - Joe, you're standing on my foot.

(inside)
Erin: I think paranormal's the wrong word. I mean, they're angels, they're well-established in the holy kingdom of heaven, not wraiths condemned to walk the earth. (opens door) Come in, everyone, your sorbet's on the table.
(Jim and his band of loony angels eagerly traipse in, greet the mortal occupants of room 7 and make a collective celestial beeline for the sorbet - and the three of us grab our own cups of sorbet and join them)

[BEAR]

(In room 29...)
Bry: (coming in) Boy, what a day... Hey, Telly. Did you ask Erin about the sorbet to sell at Hooper's?
Telly: Yep! She said it would be nooo problem!
Bry: Good! Would you mind going downstairs and asking her how many flavors she has and how much would be available for tomorrow?
Telly: Yes, Sir! (salutes, and then goes downstairs to room 7.) I wonder if she has anymore of the lime flavored...la de da de da... (he gets to room 7, which is Erin's room, and hears a lot of chatter from inside the room) Hmm...I didn't know there was going to be a party tonight. (He notices that the door has been left open just a crack and Telly pokes his head in) Erin? (All he can see is the spirits of Jim Henson and company) GHOSTS! AAAAAAHHH! (runs away terrified)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Did someone say paranormal? *Smiles evily*

Bunsen: Do not get her started!

Beaker: D: *hides her alien signs and books*

Claudia: *takes camera and rushes out of the room* SNAP SNAP SNAP MY GHOST PRETTIES!

Beaker: MEEEMEE!

Claudia: *takes a pic of the ghost figures in Erin's room*

Bunsen: Please stop, you are running in your jammies!

Claudia: O_O *faces reddens* SORRY ERIN! XD *rushes back in to her own room* .....Yah...but it's cute...it has wittle monkeys all over it. :3 AWWWW!

Bunsen: It is kind of adorable but no reason to run like a little girl with no proper wear.

Claudia: True, least I am not nakie. >_> They don't even look like pj's...just sweat pants and a shirt...

Bunsen: *Shaking* THE HORROR

Beaker: *faints*

Claudia: *Rolls eyes*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Telly! What's wrong?
Jim: (in Erin's chair, finishing up last of his sorbet) Goodness, he looks like he's just seen a ghost.
Nora: Or six.
Storyteller: Hmm, hmm...where's Erin?
Joe: Which one? There's two here, but one's got an e, the other's got an i.
Storyteller: Erin with an i. The mortal one.
Jerry: She went back to start another round of lime.
Erin: (turns on radio as she walks in) I'm back...was that Telly I heard running out of here, screaming?
Christine: (sitting on sofa next to Richard) It was, poor guy.
Richard: He was yelling something about ghosts.
Jerry: We're not ghosts, we're...um...incorporeal individuals.
Richard: I don't care what he calls us, just as long as Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray don't come running in. (whistles a few bars from the "Ghostbusters" theme)
Jim: Remember when the Ghost Hunters people came by the studio?
Nora: Didn't one of you try to drop a water balloon on them?
Richard: I almost did, and you won't believe what Don...hey, wait a minute, Don's not here.
Joe: I'll call him...is that okay, Erin?
Erin: Fine by me. What flavor would he want?
Joe: Either lemon or strawberry. Your pick. (looks up) Don, if you want some sorbet, come and get it!

(Claudia appears with camera)

Richard: Claudia, can you get one of me and Christine? (R and C pose with arms around each other's shoulders)

(Don appears)
Don: (mock-scolding) How dare you have a party without telling me first.
Erin: It's okay, we've only just started. Here's your strawberry - (hears screaming) Uh-oh, I think we've started a paranormal panic around here.

[The Count]

Count: Sewen! 7 spectacular spirits in Room #7! Looks like someone got lucky. Small joke.
Me, hearing screams coming from the hallway, in alternating medium deep or ghostly haunting vampire voice: Aaah. Music to my ears.
*Evil laugh.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Jim: Oh, thank you, Count. (looks at clock) Well, everyone, I think we'd better be getting back, it's getting late.
Storyteller: Thank you all for dropping by.
Erin: Yeah, without you it'd be dull as tombs.

(chorus of groans - then angels start to leave)

Christine: It was lots of fun tonight...(yawn)
Richard: Come on, Gumbelina,* I'll read you a bedtime story. (over shoulder) That's good stuff, Erin, make sure you don't run out!
Don: Jerry, you want to see my latest idea for...
Jerry: Not after that speaking tube incident, please.
(Joe departs, humming Clair de Lune; Eren flies out soon after)
Jim: Good night, Muppet fans.

(back to "normal" in 7)

Erin: Well, let's clean up and start packing it in, shall we?
Nora: Boy, that was weird...can we do that again?
Storyteller: As long as there are Muppet fans and sorbet lovers, yes.

(up in heaven, everyone retires for night on their respective clouds)

* According to Jacquie Gordon, Christine's mother, "Gumbelina" was Richard's nickname for Christine.

[BEAR]

(In room 29...Bryan is pouring a cold drink and Bert and Ernie are folding laundry)
Bry: What did Erin say? Telly? What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost or something.
Telly: I diiiiiid!
Bry: Oh, Telly. Come on, stop kidding around. I should have just called her. (goes to the phone to call Erin)
Telly: I'm not kidding around! I saw a ghost! Actually, I saw se-se-se-seven of them!
Bert: Telly, don't be ridiculous. There are no such things as ghosts. Right, Ernie?
Ernie: (covered in a white bed sheet from the laundry pile) Anybody see a pillow case anywhere?
Bert: (turns to face Ernie) AAAAH! (runs away)
Telly: AAAAH! (follows Bert)
Ernie: (laughing under the sheet) Khekhekhekhe!

(The camera pans out through the window of room 29 to a full shot of the moonlit Dorm House...)
The voice of JH's spirit echos from the Heavens: Muppet College Dorms were brought to you today by the letter S (a group of stars form the letter in the sky) for sorbet, screams and silliness, and by the number 7 (another group of stars form a 7). Pleasant screams...oops, I mean dreams. (chuckles)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Oooo...titles are fun...

Bunsen: How?

Claudia: Well, if I had an awesome title for a name. It'd be Claudia the Catastrophic!

Bunsen: That does not truly fit your character though.

Claudia: Yah, it does!

Beaker: Mee.

Claudia: *Chokes* Beaker the buttkicker? XDDD

Beaker: *nod* *poses*

Bunsen: Then I modestly call myself Bunsen the buff.

Claudia and Beaker: *Loling their heads off*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *singing* There's something in the air today!
Gonzo: *singing* There's something we can't put our fingers on!
Clifford: Don't'cha think ya should stop singin' and get out there and buy the thing?
Ryan: Hold on! I just heard Piggy was on Today, so I'm trying to catch her before I go.
Rizzo: *rolls eyes* Oh, c'mon... You've been waitin' two years for d'is t'ing, and you're waiting because Piggy is on T.V.?
Ryan: ...Yes?
Uncle Deadly: We shall not attempt to understand you...

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: (groggy) I dreamed that our room was invaded by ghosts, and we all sat around eating sorbet.
Storyteller: (at table, reading paper) That wasn't a dream, sweetie.
Erin: But I'm still amazed we didn't have the Ghost Hunters camped out on our doorstep.
Storyteller: Mm. So what's on for today?
Erin: I've got to run errands and stuff. As for the sorbet, I've got five trial pints ready for Hooper's: lemon, lime-coconut, kiwi, mango-orange and strawberry. So tell Bry and Telly that they can swing by and pick them up whenever they can.
Nora: Will do. What about the two ice cream places?
Erin: We'll see what they're looking for, and I'll prepare their batches when I get back.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: It's a big day guys
Red: How come?
Cookie: What going on?
Wanda: Isn't today when TMS Season Two is out?
Beth: Bingo!
Red: Ooh! Are we going to get it?
Beth: Of course! But I gotta go to work, so one of you has to go to the store
Cookie: Me do it!
Red: I can go too
Wanda: We'll all go, but we'll wait until you get home to watch it
Beth: Sounds good, thanks guys!

[The Count]

Ah... The advantages of having a tape trading buddy. Makes it unnecessary to go and buy TMS Season 2, cause I have it all already in my own library. True the Muppets on Muppets segment isn't there, but I can get it in the future as a bonus Muppetism segment from my trading partner. Although, the Chloris Leachman episode is missing the pig version of Vet's Hospital... Oh well, have fun everybody!
And don't forget: FR Season 3 on September 11, and SST Old School Volume 2 on October 24.

Ryan: *watches Don Knotts*
Gonzo: Where am I?
Ryan: HAHA! Fozzie just got sunglasses from Floyd!
Gonzo: Yeah, but where am I?

Gloat: Jimmy eat world?

Adam: You dont know em? Then you're missing out! *puts it in the stereo* And now i've also got enough money for a Muppet monster model, which hopefully i will buy soon, might get models of you two

Boppity: ooh! Get five of me!

Adam: Why five?

Boppity: I like myself

Adam: Well no, i will only have enough money for two

Gloat: You should get a proper job

Adam: Why dont you get a job?

Gloat: can't a guy be lazy without people asking questions? *roll eyes*

[BEAR]

Bry: (calls Erin) hey there! Thanks so much for the sorbets. I think they'll be a hit! See ya!

[theprawncracker]

Uncle Deadly: That Edgar Bergen certainly was a classy fellow.
Ryan: You're just saying that because you got to sing.
Uncle Deadly: Your point being?
Ryan: *shakes head*
Gonzo: I love that opening number!
Camilla: Brawk bawk!
Gonzo: Oh, don't worry, honey, you're the only chicken for these eyes.

Clifford: That was Kyle, said he's gonna be out for a few days, and just wanted everyone to know.
Ryan: Oh, alright.
Clifford: ...Well should ya let everyone know?
Ryan: Could you? I'm watching this.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: *Laying on his bed*

Claudia: Bunnie?

Bunsen: Hmm?

Claudia: Are you alright?

Bunsen: Yes, physically speaking--but not mentally. I can't create anything more. Ran out of ideas for a better invention.

Claudia: Oh Bunnie, take a rest ok? I am sure you'll be your old mad s-- I mean get back to creating soon.

Bunsen: Hope so.

Beaker: *Happy for this* Meeemeeee *singing*

Claudia: *glare*

PETER: Did you guys see Piggy this morning on the today Show

LITTLE BIRD: Yes, she was promoting the Muppet Show Season 2 on DVD

ZOE: Yes!

BABY BEAR: Piggy looked beautiful as usual

PETER: Why don't we get it at the store Tomorrow okay

ALL: Okay!

[Skeeter Muppet]

Gillis: So, making plans to purchase season 2 of the Muppet Show tomorrow?
Kim: Yeah, if Mom decides to go to Rockford tomorrow and the streets on that side of Rockford haven't been shut down.
Tosh: Why would they shut it down?
Kim: Because 7 inches of rain in a few hours plus power outages equals one big mess.
Tosh: Ah.
Boober: Y'know, I've noticed that you've gotten the first season of the Muppet Show and are planning on getting the second season, but you haven't said anything about getting any of the seasons of Fraggle Rock that are out.
Kim: Everything in its own time, Boober. Everything in its own time.

[Ruahnna]

(There are two couples happily reclining in the two tweed lime green recliners in room 20. One couple is completely platonic, but very snuggly. The other couple is not as platonic, but they are only snuggly on and off—some of it depends on what is happening on the television screen. Currently, they are in the “on” phase.)
Catherine: Wow—this is so great. I’ve really missed you guys. And you look so vibrant and wonderful!
Fozzie (leaning his head over on her shoulder): Oh yeah! I had forgotten how funny I was!
(Kermit made a sound that might have meant anything, but at least it covered Piggy’s completely undignified snort of derision. Kermit followed up by dipping an apple slice in whipped caramel and stuffing it into Piggy’s mouth. If it hadn’t been so delicious, she might have protested, but she contented herself with leaning over Kermit’s reclining body to get another one. She also got a handful of cheese balls and retaliated by putting the whole fistful into Kermit’s mouth. Kermit would have made a scrunchy face, but he had to chew and swallow first. When he finally did that, Nancy Walker’s big dance number with Sweetums was on, and he refrained from comment.
When there was a scene change, Piggy sighed with contentment and brushed her hair back from her face in what was so obviously a fish for compliments that Kermit ignored her on purpose for several minutes, but when she cleared her throat for the third time, he laughed and relented.)
Kermit: (dryly) You look good, Piggy.
Piggy: (turning big innocent eyes on him) Then? Or now?
(Kermit starts to comment, but Catherine beats him to the punch.)
Catherine: (with reproachful sarcasm) Very subtle, dear. Why don’t you just plug in the APPLAUSE sign?
Fozzie: (without even looking at Piggy) I think some of the bulbs are burned out.
(This time it is Kermit who snorts, which brings to an abrupt end the snuggling on the second lime green recliner. He accepts his fate with resignation, and continues to watch the screen. When the tape comes to an end and the main menu returns, with Kermit and Fozzie bantering over and over on the screen, Kermit heaves himself out of the recliner and goes to the DVD player. He takes the first DVD out—the one with Piggy’s sultry pose on the cover, and is momentarily distracted putting it away in the carrier. He takes out the second DVD, which bears his smiling mug, and puts it into the DVD slot.
When he returns to the recliner, it is possible that his momentary distraction has been observed, and there is a slight softening in the posture of his seat-mate. Kermit takes that as an invitation, climbs into the chair, puts his arm around his girl and picks up the remote control.)
Kermit: “Play all”?
(Three voices answer him in chorus.) Oh yeah. Play all.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: I love Steve Martin, he's so funny
Red: He's a Ramblin guy!
Wanda: I like the balloon animals myself
Cookie: We going to watch more Muppet Show?
Beth: Yes, as soon as I get home tonight!

[BeakerSqueedom]

*Puts on her make-up carefully while Beaker reluctantly brushes her hair. Bunsen appears a little confused but resumes with his stumped imagination block. Claudia flinches and gives out a terrible growl*

Claudia: OUCH! Careful Beakie!

Beaker: Meemeemee! *points to her brush*

Claudia: Sorry, I am looking my best for the day! I have a date with the sun and the sky! : D *Overly cheerful*

* Her melon-headed friend turns around and looks even more puzzled but before he could speak, Claudia shuts him up with a smile.*

Claudia: Get dressed, we are gonna go and have fun out there. We are going everywhere together! You too Beaker!

Beaker: *About to leave and do so but is stopped*

Claudia: After you are done with my hair.

Bunsen: The obvious of this whole situation is that she has truly lost it.

[Gloat]

*walking the corridors*

Adam: So tell me, why are you wasting my time?

Boppity: I'm telling ya, I dropped my pork pie!

Adam: couldnt you just get a new one and eat that?

Boppity: I want pork pie!

Adam: ... alright *walk on*

[The Count]

Just got back from errands on campus... Man, sometimes it's enough to make you cuss under your breath. Oh well, at least it's done, time to kick back and hopefully nag, er um, catch up on some fanfics.

[Katzi428]

Uggghhh...is it hot out today!
Rosita:Oh...you're not kiddin' amiga!
Prairie:Lucky for us,the fan and air conditioning work. I'm still roasting though!:p

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *Back from her fun in the sun trip* THAT WAS AWESOME

Bunsen: *Sweaty* Really?

Beaker: *pant* Meeee.

Claudia: *Sees Kathy* Pool? CAN I GO WITH YOU? :D I WANNA GO I WANNA GO! *Glomps Kathy happily with millions of snugs*

Bunsen: Er...she is just very happy. Ignore her affectionate self.

Beaker: Mee. >_>

[The Count]

Thanks Kath... But I'll stay indoors today. Got the I.C.E. unit turned on, gonna do a bit of number totals. Hope you have fun at the pool though.

*Heads back indoors... Now what would Red want to talk about? Oh well, Beth'll call if she needs help, or I her.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: Oh that is a mighty shame.

Claudia: Awww, Edddiiieee! D:

Beaker: Mee. *Runs to his room to change*

Bunsen: *Does so too*

Claudia: >_> Gee, thanks. *Drags herself to do the same*

--

Claudia: *Comes out with a towel* HIIII! : D OMGSH! TIME TO TOTALLY ROCK THE WATER!

Bunsen: Would be impossible to do so--rock the pool. I suppose we all are to get utterly 'jiggy with it' you hear it my 'snoop homeys'? I am afraid not so I can only say 'you got served'.

Claudia: *shakes head*

Beaker: *Frowns at his smiley shorts*

Claudia: :3 awww

[Gloat]

Adam: *walks up to reception with Gloat on shoulder* Hello? i need a word

[redBoobergurl]

(OOC: Ed, Red was just coming back and saw Kathy in the hallway, she wasn't going to see you. Not that she doesn't like you of course)
*At the pool*
Red: Ok Prairie, try this, instead of going over, sideways, under, trying going, under, sideways, and then over. *she demonstrates making a large splash*

[The Count]

*OOC: That's OK Beth.

*At the reception desk...
Count: Which word would you like?

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: I am braising nicely in my own juices.
Nora: That's an interesting way of saying you're all hot and sweaty.
Erin: But it is the truth.
Storyteller: What about the sorbet? Couldn't you have some of that?
Erin: I dispatched five pints off to Hooper's, and the rest is on its way to Cold Comfort and Deep Freeze.
Nora: So what's there for us?
Erin: Well, I've got the ingredients for some more strawberry and kiwi - and I've got a few gelato and frozen yogurt recipes that I want to try out.
Storyteller: I've got a good one for radish and Doozer stick gelato - (goes into hut, emerges with recipe card) why not try that?
Erin: (reading card) Looks like it'd work. I also want to try out a gelato with pineapple and mint in it.
Storyteller: Mmm, sounds good, too.
Nora: So do a trial batch of both.
Erin: Will do. (starts a few pots of cream and egg yolks boiling on the stove) Nora, start that one batch of strawberry in the mixer, will you?
Nora: (pours strawberry sorbet mixture into mixer bowl and starts it up) And we're going.

[Katzi428]

*At the pool*
Red: Ok Prairie, try this, instead of going over, sideways, under, trying going, under, sideways, and then over. *she demonstrates making a large splash*
Prairie:OK...let's see.goes under,over,the sideways,creating a big splash! Then she surfacesYAY! I think I did it!
Looks like it!Way to go Prairie!
Rosita:Good job Prairie!
waving at Claudia Bunsen and Beaker Hi guys!C'mon in!The water is nice and cold!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: WHEE! *Pushes the two boys in the pool* :3 YEEHAHAHA!

*SPLASH*

Bunsen: Oh dear! O_O

Beaker: MEEEE!

Claudia: GERONIMO! *jumps in*
---

Claudia: *swims to Kathy* It is VERY cold. XD

Bunsen: Just what we needed.

Beaker: *floating on his back* meeemeeee *humming*

[Katzi428]

Claudia: WHEE! *Pushes the two boys in the pool* :3 YEEHAHAHA!

*SPLASH*

Bunsen: Oh dear! O_O

Beaker: MEEEE!

Claudia: GERONIMO! *jumps in*

Claudia: *swims to Kathy* It is VERY cold. XD

Bunsen: Just what we needed.

Beaker: *floating on his back* meeemeeee *humming*
See?Told ya it was cold! Feels good though!:)

[The Count]

Did someone say frozen yogurt? *Leaves order for a minty pineapple colada gelato or frozen yogurt pint at Room #7, while the Count slips a note in Room #44's mailslot asking Claudia if she's got that haunter's drawing finished, saying it's OK if not just yet as we understand other things interrupt one's list of things to do.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Hey, newsy floozy...
Erin: Don't call me newsy floozy! I am a respected reporter, so no one calls me newsy floozy! (pause) Except me.
Storyteller: Anyway, respected reporter, we have an order for one pint of pineapple-mint gelato, for room 1.
Erin: Ah. Coming up. (scoops gelato into a one-pint carton) I'll run this off to room 1 right now. (heads off)
Nora: What did they mean by "that haunter's drawing?"
Storyteller: Oh, it might be something to do with our little party from two nights ago.
Nora: (gulp) Let's just hope it doesn't get our friends exorcised.

(up in heaven)

Jerry Juhl: All right, boys, ten sit-ups, fifteen crunches, ten pull-ups...
Jim: Jerry, not now, please...
Richard: I was playing basketball all day; I'm tired.

(down here)

Erin: (now outside room 1 with gelato) That's exorcised, Jerry, not exercised.

(up there)

Jim: That's an old joke.
Richard: And he's an old man (ducks as Jerry throws something at him).

[Beakerfan]

*meanwhile, up on the third floor, in room 42*

*door creaks open*

*loud wind*

*tumbleweed blows out the door*

*an eerie noise comes from somewhere inside....*

[The Count]

*Opens door and takes the pint of pineapple gelato after exchanging some coinage with Erin. Oh, that's just a bit of creative artwork Claudia and I are dealing in, there's one I'd like to share, but not until KG Chapter 52 gets posted. And I happen to have a short fanfic in mind for that gofer, even have a nice punny title that ought to do his mentor proud.

But those plans can keep till later... *Knowing smile as he tells Erin she can PM me if interested on getting the scoop, her choice, blue raspberry or news.

[Gloat]

*At the reception desk...
Count: Which word would you like?

Adam: Hey Count

Gloat: Hi

Adam: I was wondering if you have anything planned for the end of this month before we leave, like a party or something like that?

[The Count]

Well... There is a party, but usually that's to celebrate the dorms' anniversary. If any of the residents here wants to have a get-together before having to vacate due to the yearly shake-up, that'd be OK by me. You guys would probably have to plan it for the next-to-last weekend in August, since the last is when the anniversary's planned to go into effect.

Hope this helps.

[Gloat]

Adam: Thanks Count, was just curious *smiles* Have a nice day

Gloat: Bye Bye

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *sleepwalks to get Count's letter near her door* MMffmm...*Picks it up and reads it* mmffmm...mmm? *Gets a sudden chill from Alex's room nearby* MY GOSH THATS COLD! O_O *wakes up* ...Alex? O_o

*Silence*

EDDIE OMGSH SHE PROBABLY WAS EATEN ALIVE BY A TERRIBLE MONSTER D:<!

Bunsen: Claudia, go back to sleep. *Groggy*

Claudia: THE HAUNTED ROOM OF THE DORMS COMES TO HAuNT US! XD

Beaker: MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Claudia: *remains calm for a couple of seconds* The drawing si scoming soon!

*Comes back to insanity* XD

Bunsen: Talk normally please...>_> OH! What a cute little tumbleweed! *grabs it* ....for decoration! :D

Beaker: mee O_O

[Gloat]

*walk by Claudia's door and hear shouting*

Gloat: hmm, i wonder what Bunsen's doing to her

Adam: what dont you go check?

Gloat: What? No!

Adam: *knocks on the door and runs off leaving Gloat at the door*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Silly, the door was open. Heehee I am fine Gloaty <3!...*Whips out a ghost weapon and charging it up* *Is clad in white* THE MIB BE COMIN' IN!

Bunsen: er...nod your head? XD *Remembers song*...anyway it's supposed to MIW..because you are in white. O_o

Claudia: ....MAN! Well er...COME BACK ADAM! XD

Beaker: Meeemee! :D

[Beakerfan]

*more eerie noises come from room 42*

*something flashes across the hallway*

*the door slams shut*

*somebody screams*

[The Count]

Hmmm... Wonder what's going on upstairs. Maybe Floyd has some news to share, or Pepe commented something to Rizzo in which case I'd have to check in with Prawny...
Hmm, curioser and curioser.

[BeakerSqueedom]

*Claudia rushes back inside and feels a sudden chill go down her spine. Her thoughts are clouded from sheer panic as she wraps herself in a warm comforting blanket. Bunsen shivers a bit "Alex probably left the window open again." he assures her weakly with a bit of a shaky voice. "We probably are just suffering a bad case of the spooks." He spoke once again with a firm smile.They do not see the figure flashing through the hall. Beaker, on the other hand does and begins to shake even more. Quietly, does the little assistant walk out from the safety of the room without Claudia's knowledge. "Meep?" He closes the door behind him and spots the room. "Meee?" he calls again but suddenly the door shuts with a loud slam. He rushes to knock on any door in search of help holding a panic struck face "ALEXMEEMEE! MEEEEMEEE!" .*

Ryan: *stretches* I'm gonna have to get my sleep schedule back to normal soon...
Gonzo: Don't say it!
Ryan: *sigh* School's starting in a week...
Gonzo: No!
Ryan: Yeah...
Gonzo: It's not fair!
Ryan: Tell me about it. And it sounds like we're all vacating again at the end of the month. Hope Lisa will wanna stay on the roof again, that was fun.
Uncle Deadly: Fun for whom?
Ryan: You know what I mean.
Uncle Deadly: It's hard not to, living with you for all this time.
Ryan: *smirks* You know you love it.
Uncle Deadly: *eyebrow raise* And I thought you knew me.

[The Count]

Yeah... And I think it'll be toughest for you Prawny. You know that the choices for roomies will be determined on a first come/first serve basis, and practically every Muppet will be available for everyone once again. Might have to call in a conference depending on who you choose this time around though, eh, we'll see what happens.

*Off to plot next fanfic with the gofer.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

*Opens door and takes the pint of pineapple gelato after exchanging some coinage with Erin. Oh, that's just a bit of creative artwork Claudia and I are dealing in, there's one I'd like to share, but not until KG Chapter 52 gets posted. And I happen to have a short fanfic in mind for that gofer, even have a nice punny title that ought to do his mentor proud.

But those plans can keep till later... *Knowing smile as he tells Erin she can PM me if interested on getting the scoop, her choice, blue raspberry or news.

Erin: Duly noted. Thank you, both for the info and for your custom. (pockets the gelato fee and looks up) Guys, it's not about you.

(up in heaven)

Jerry: So I can't make them do crunches. Pity.
Jim: Now, Jerry, you were our head writer, not our personal fitness trainer.
(Richard flies by, carrying a basketball and wearing a whistle on a lanyard)
Jerry: And where are you off to, young Richard?
Richard: I'm supposed to meet Ryan White and a few others for a pick-up game in a bit.

[The Count]

Ungh... Stuff's a waiting to be done... And yet, the power of procrastination compels me...
Oh well, it "wil" get done. Maybe I shoulda talked myself outta this precarious situation... Nah.
*Goes back to doing whatever it was I was doing earlier... Pretty much nothing at all.

[Beakerfan]

*Floyd and Pepe scurry out the door of room 42 and quickly shut it*
Floyd: Whadda we do? We can't just LEAVE her like that!
Pepe: We run! That is what we do hokay! We CAN leave her like that! Animal can handle her hokay!
Floyd: We don't have anywhere to go meathead! Besides, how will she eat, or shower?
Pepe: That is not hup to us, hokay?
Floyd: We need help....
Pepe: From who?
Floyd: Someone who has experience in this area....
Pepe: Hokay hokay hokay I got it! Uhhh, who is this?
Floyd: We need Ed and the Count! I mean, the Count's a vampire, right? So he oughtta know what to do about her, um, condition?
Pepe: But vampires and werewolves are two different theengs, hokay?
Floyd: Well, they've gotta know somethin!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*the door swings open to reveal a frustrated Alex chained to her bed, gashes across her face and torso. As Animal tries to calm her, she growls at him. Animal jumps back and runs out the door.*

*Alex begins howling*

[The Count]

Um... Not gonna make a joke that I could here, hokay.
Alex... She's awhat-wolf now? Oh well... Hmmm, will have to chat with Maddie and some other sources, there's always Patricia at the Mystery & Myths Shop... Better round up the troops.
*Makes a few calls assembling the haunting party.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: (on phone) Yes, Ed, right away. (hangs up) Alex is a werewolf!
Storyteller: She's been like that for the last three hours or so...something's got to be done.
Nora: Erin, get the garlic!
Erin: No! Garlic's for vampires...for werewolves, and for anyone with lycanthropy, you need silver! (runs off to kitchen, and starts rattling around in the chest of good silverware) Nora! I've got a pot of wolfsbane growing on the sill in my room! Clip off five or six large sprigs, will you?
Nora: (gulp) Silver and wolfsbane?
Erin: Silver's supposed to repel were-beasts, according to the King's Quest games. The wolfsbane is for us.
(nervously emerges from kitchen, wielding a silver cake cutter, a salad fork and a large serving spoon)
Storyteller: I'll bring my sun lamp!
(Nora emerges with wolfsbane)
Erin: All right - everyone grab a sprig and rub it all over yourself. (they do so)
Nora: I'm still not sure...did you also learn this from King's Quest?
Erin: Yeah, one of the unofficial fan-made games. (pause) Let's go.

(They dash off to 42. Meanwhile, up in heaven...)

Richard: (singing) He's the hairy-handed gent, who ran amuck in Kent...lately he's been overheard in Mayfair...better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out, Jim...
Jim: Pardon?
Richard: It's part of the song. (sings again) Ah-ooo, werewolves of London...

[ZootyCutie]

*hangs up phone* Guys, we got a mission.

Dr. Teeth: So, what it is?

Alex has become a werewolf. We got to help.

Janice: I feel all light-headed. *faints*

Okay, so it's up to us to help her. We need my reading lamp, to protect us, silver bullets to destroy the cause, and these brown Ghostbusters jumpsuits, because they were the only thing I could think of. Okay guys, you ready?

Dr. Teeth: Yep.

Lips: Yep.

Zoot: I'm staying with Janice.

Okay, it's just the three of us. Just to be safe, let's wear our Friendternal Helmet Wearers helmets. Now, let's go save a dormie!

[The Count]

Hmmm... For some reason I thought Richard would be singing "Wotcher Knocked 'Em In The Old Kent Road".
So... Wolfsbane, yes. But rubbing it on yourselves? Never heard of that. *Gets a call and instructions from Patricia (a.k.a. cherrypotion37) and jots them down. OK thanks. *Hangs up.

Count... Get that ol' cauldron of ours out, we need to make us a brew.
Count: Vonderful! Ve haven't had one of those in ages.
Mmm... Got the wolfsbane Nora left, also picked some night-blooming jazmin, moonflower, mandrake root, and a sliver of tannis root. We'll also be needing a clipping of bat's claw and a hair of the wolf itself... Good thing Animal had some in him from tangling with his former bunkmate.
*Plops ingredients, swirls them around thrice clockwise. Ah, you know, I really think I could've loved Potions class in my own silent way.
*The liquid turns a palid lunitone white, just before it bubbles over filling the silver ladled goblet with its frothy foam.
OK Count, take this upstairs to Alex and make sure she drinks it all up.
Count: Fright, and she has to drink it from the silver cup itself?
Yes, that's one of the um, saferways to cure a person of their eminent licanthropy.

As the master vampire counter leaves, Ed sits to think about his own little world of haunters. Hmm, that might not be a bad idea, but I have to talk to Sean and temper it a bit.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(outside the door to room 42)

Storyteller: Let's see, we've got Lips and Dr. Teeth and ZootyCutie, and me and Nora and Erin...
Erin: All we need is the Count with the potion.
Storyteller: (as Count appears) Ah, here he is.
Erin: Right. Count, we'll subdue Alex, and you'll make her drink the potion. Everyone got their silver items, their sun lamps, and their wolfsbane and assorted protective items...okay.
Nora: (timidly) I, Eleanor Jane Brandon, being of sound mind and soon-to-be-mangled body...
Erin: Nora, knock off the last will recitation, please. (knocks on door) Alex, we don't care how bloodthirsty you're feeling or how much hair you've suddenly sprouted, we're going in!

(door is flung open)

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *sees everyone at the door* Aaooooooooh! Aaoooooooooh! *struggles to get free* Grrrrrrr! Grrrrrrrrr! *bites at chains* *chains break* *stands on bed and howls* Aaooooooooh! *seeing no chance of escape, I dive out the window*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (holding cake cutter over her head) Uh-oh.
Nora: Now what!
Erin: (grabs walkie-talkie) Code silver, code silver. Alex is loose on the grounds. Repeat: Alex is loose on the grounds. Secure all entrances and exits, and have Crazy Harry ready with a round of assorted pyrotechnic gadgets.

(band takes off for ground floor)

[ZootyCutie]

Okay guys, this calls for drastic measures.

Dr. Teeth: Right. We got to catch her.

Lips: Agreed.

*into walky-talky* We're on the ground floor, and Crazy Harry's at the door with his equipment. What should we do next?

[The Count]

Count, to the rest of the party: No vorries... She just landed on the balcony outside, all the rooms on this side of the third floor have them.

Now then Alex... He gazes straight at her, freezing her in place with the power of his vampiric mesmorizing bloodshot batty eyes.
Here, drink this nice creamy milkshake... Drink it out of this nice silver cup, that's a good girl...

[The Count]

*OOC: Ziffled, twice! And here I have simple solutions to the problems... Jus carry on and LMK when you're ready to have the cure administered.
*Keeps enjoying the MC Radio broadcast, oblivious to what's happening up above.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

The group now hovers in the doorway. There are two reading lamps now trained on Alex, along with a silver cake cutter, a box of silver bullets, and several sprigs of wolfsbane.

Down on the ground, Crazy Harry stands ready to set off an explosion, should the "patient" try to jump.

Storyteller: Now, Count. We're not ready to see Hensonville break out in an epidemic of li...lico...
Erin: Lycanthropy.
Storyteller: Whatever, whatever, just give her the wee dram.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Bunsen, let's go! GO GO GO GO! *Gets army suit* *Has hair tied back and rushes in the room noisily* ONE TWO THREE! WEREWOLF ON THE MOVE!

Bunsen: Yes mam! *Follows*

Beaker: *Scared* AlexMEE!

Claudia: ALEX! D: Anyone need my assistance?

Bunsen: Or my shockers? :D

Claudia: no. :/

Marty: Exciting news about the second season of Muppet Show Bill. My brother has promised to get it for me either as a Christmas or birthday present.
Bill: That'll be terrific Marty.
Marty: Yes I can hardly wait.

[The Count]

Count: If you insist... *Directs Alex to take the shining silver drinking cup in her pawed hands and gulp down the elixir. *Patting her shoulder, there, doesn't that feel better?
You just have to know how to treat the creatures of the night... Oh hello Claudia, you vouldn't have any monster morphing issues of your own? Guess not, though Bunsen must certainly make things interesting for you.
*Trying to strike up a jovial conversation as Alex starts shedding her wolfish walker-skin, changing back into her normal clothed self.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Oh, I was too late. Thank gosh you are alright Alex! : D Beaker was so trying to tell me this whole time that there was an over-sized pup in your room with razor sharp teeth *laughing in too much of a casual manner* but it turns out you were a werewolf! Who would have believed that? *Checks her own clothes out* I love this suit. XD

Please Eddie, I live in fear of being a man again. *joking*

Bunsen: That was genius. You must admit. *looks to Alex* Are you alright? *hides his little shockers*

Beaker: *puts hand on her forehead* mee.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(back in room 7)

Erin: (collapsing into chair) Thank heavens that's over and done with. (wearily tosses silver items aside)
Storyteller: The Count knows how to handle that sort of thing, eh, Nora...Nora?
Erin: She's in her room.
Storyteller: She hasn't been bitten or scratched, has she?
Erin: No, Alex would have gotten me first, 'cause I was much closer. She's just a little freaked.

(up in heaven)

Richard: (taking a deep breath) Ah-oooooo.....

(down here)

Nora: Eeek! (hides under bed)
Erin: Richard, not tonight, please?
