[The Count]

*Downstairs...

Count: I'm back... Any calls vhile I vas out?
Nope, hope to hear from Beth tomorrow though.
Count: Good. You know the new season vill start up on Monday.
Yes... Plenty of additions and now I have to do the totals all over again again.
Count: Ah vell... Que sera sera.
Yeah, and we've got a ton of B-Days next Thursday.
Count: That's one of the perks of having a club in one's own name. Still haven't found a name for Jerry's?
Naw... But it's OK, we've got our own familiar factions here in town, and that's good enough for now.
Count: Quite. Good night.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Sorry I've been gone all day guys
Red: It's ok
Wanda: Did you get the power back at work?
Beth: I don't know yet
Cookie: You have message from Ed
Beth *reads message taken in Cookie's scratchy handwriting*: Ok, I'll call him tomorrow morning, right now, I'm beat, I'm going to bed

[anytimepally]

Johnny: Where you been all night?
Randall: Packing, Johnny.. I'm moving this weekend.
Don: Oh? .. You leaving us here alone?
Randall: Only for a week or so.. or, you know, whenever my new internet gets hooked up.. hopefully not too long.
Sal: Moving's always exciting!
Randall: I sure hope so.. it's been busy the last week!
Don: (upset) You're going to miss my birthday, aren't you?
Randall: Probably, Don, but we can always party again when I get back.
Don: True.. if anyone's birthday is worth two parties, it's certainly mine!
Sal: All right! I'm always up for a par-tay!
Johnny: We're not gonna hafta stay with the pig while you're gone, are we?
Randall: I don't know, Johnny.. we'll worry about that tomorrow.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *runs into Randall's room* MOVING? A WEEK? Who am I gonna get my Muppet music fix from?
Clifford: As if you didn't have enough music already.
Ryan: Sh! I'm trying to be genuine!

[The Count]

Count, holding a conversation with Uncle Deadly: "Trying" being the operative vord.
*Both share a small chuckle.

Count, to Ryan now: Besides, vith Kyle and Randall gone, only temporarily though, that means you'll be the one ewerybody comes to to get their Muppet music fix. Unless they happen to tune in to MC Radio or Muppet Musique, but you know vhat I mean Ryan. Hope you're up to handling such a big responsibility.
*Says his good-byes to Uncle D, and departs off to meet Ed at Jim's Coffee House or the bakery run by Sarah Y for some early breakfast.

[Gloat]

*in the dorm*

Adam: Gloat! Gloat! Where are you?

Boppity: *relaxed and readin 'Top Gear' magazine by the coffee machine* Why do you want him?

Adam: well i havent seen him since 5 yesterday

Boppity: He's under his bed?

Adam: What? Whats he doing there? *walks to Gloats bed, then kneels down and looks under*

Gloat: Oh, hi Adam

Adam: Why are you under your bed?

Gloat: Thinking...

Adam: And do you always think under your bed? It would explain a lot

Gloat: Nah, I'm thinking about what to do today

Adam: Well how would the mattress know? its not as if he goes out to nightclubs every Friday night is it?

Gloat: I crawled under here for something and felt like thinking a bit

Adam: Why not think on top of the bed?

Gloat: Im comfy enough

Adam: *Grabs his neck hair and pulls him out* behave!

Gloat: Alright, fine *sits on bed*

Adam: Sometimes i feel like i gotta put you two on a lead

Boppity: But that wouldnt be good for our singing will it

Adam: Singing?

Boppity: Yes

Adam: Oh yeh *roll eyes* Havent seen you do it for ages though

Boppity: would you like us to?

Adam: God no

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *rocks back and forth* *gulps*
Clifford: What's up with you, dude?
Ryan: Sh! Quiet, I don't want anyone to know I'm here!
Clifford: Why not?
Ryan: You heard Ed last night! I'm the one in charge of getting music to the masses!
Clifford: Yeah, so?
Ryan: I can't handle that kind of pressure! It's too much!
Clifford: Yet you can deliver fan-fiction at a rapid rate with Uncle Deadly breathing down your neck?
Ryan: *turns around and sees Uncle Deadly breathing on neck* I wondered what that was.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: So, Bunnie, got inspiration yet?

Bunsen: Not as of now. *glum*

Claudia: Well, you--you *trying to get through the masses of his inventions* you could start by shrinking these inventions. They are crowding the room and I can't move alot.

Bunsen: Sorry, I get carried away with my creations at times that I can't really see how troublesome they can be space-wise. *Gets his Shrink-ray and mini-sizes them* There....they look like toys now. *Chuckle*

Claudia: Yah. : ) I am sure you'll be able to think of something.

Bunsen: It has been days--this is something that has never happened to me before.

Claudia: Awww *Huggles*

Bunsen: @_@ Thank you.

Beaker: *happy as he has not been tested on* Meeeemeee! *singing*

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Ok, left a message for Ed, hopefully he'll get it soon. Now, what should we do today?
Red: Swimming!
Beth: I'm so tired of swimming, no offense Red
Red: It's ok.
Wanda: We could go to a movie
Beth: eh, I don't want to spend the day in a dark theatre
Cookie: We could eat cookies
Beth: Actually that's not a bad idea Cookie Monster, except let's not just eat cookies, let's go on a picnic!
Roomies: YEA! Great idea!

[The Count]

*Back in our room after an early breakfast and a check at the store... Mmm, got Beth's message, have to work on that.
Count, outside... To Cookie: Better take an umbrella, I felt raindrops starting to fall as ve headed back. Scattered showers have been dripping through town this entire veek.

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Hi, Bryan! What are you doing home?
Bry: It's my day off.
Big Bird: But who's running the store?
Bry: It's closed for the day.
Big Bird: But I'm so thirsty and I was going to walk down there for a birdseed milkshake. Now what do I do?
Bry: It's okay, Big Bird. I can make you a birdseed milkshake here.
Big Bird: Oh...you're right! Why didn't I think of that? Hehe!
Bry: Where is everyone else?
Big Bird: Bert and Ernie went to the zoo and Telly took Chuckie Sue to the vet.
Bry: Oh, is she okay?
Big Bird: Yeah. It's only a check-up.
Bry: Oh good. So then what do you wanna do today? It's just us.
Big Bird: Well...we can read some of Beth's new story.
Bry: Good idea, Bird. How about we order a pizza, I'll make us some milkshakes, and we'll head down to the reading room?
Big Bird: You know what I like!

[Beakerfan]

*back in room 42*
Alex: *sitting on bed, staring at self in mirror* Ugh... what a day! *looks at broken shackles around wrists and ankles* Animal and I seem to match..... *looks back in mirror and notices claw marks across her face, Professor Lupin style* WHAT DID I DO TO MYSELF? MY BEAUTIFUL FACE! *begins to cry*
Floyd: Aw, it's allright Alex! It's not your fault, besides, you'll get better real quick!
Alex: You're right. It's not my fault...
Pepe: *to Floyd* I do not think jou should have said that hokay...
Alex: *looks at Floyd* It's all your fault for leaving me in the forest last week! I got bitten because you got scared and ran off! *continues crying*
Animal: *scrambles under the bed*
Floyd: *to Pepe* Aw, she'll be alright! She's jest upset 'n' tired now, that's all.
*Floyd and Pepe exit*
Animal: *cautiously comes out from under the bed* OK?
Alex: Yeah, it's ok Animal. Come sit with me?
Animal: *climbs up onto Alex's lap*
Alex: I'm sorry I scared you. I know, it can get pretty crazy around here, but that's the way I like things.
Animal: *staring at Alex* *sees shackles and claw marks* PRI-TEE!
Alex: *smiles* Thanks Animal

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Oh, now, Alex, it's all right. I'll bring you a moss pack and some aloe vera and we'll help those to heal (hears screaming from Erin's room)...now what is that girl yelling about?
Erin: (from behind closed door) It's up! It's up! (runs out) The photo's up!
Nora: Photo?
Erin: Right, right. (takes a deep breath) The AIDS quilt block...
Storyteller: Yes?
Erin: (still kind of breathless) containing Richard's panel...
Nora: Go on...
Erin: It's finally been photographed, and the photo's been posted on the AIDS quilt web site.
Nora: Wow!
Storyteller: And at long last...
Erin: I know, I was starting to give up hope of seeing it posted...and hey, it's an early birthday present for Richard, how about that?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: If Alex is a werewolf half person...then I must not be a muggle after all! I AM A WITCH!

Bunsen: No, no you are not. *shoots forgetful ray on her* You are a muggle who dwells with a Scientist that is not most wanted and not about to be sent to Azkaban for the murder of Loo-...I mean...I certainly am not a deatheater at all. :D

Beaker: *Is in voldemort clothes* *Cackles high pitchedly* MEEEHEEEHEEMEEE! >D

Claudia: Oh look! A WAND! :D

Bunsen: *Gets wand and does a forgetting charm on her again before hiding it* You were saying?


*This was done for humorous purposes*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: If she's a witch, then I'm a direct descendant of Rowena Ravenclaw. And Bunsen, it's called a Memory Charm. (pause) Beaker, if you're planning on impersonating the Dark Lord, just be forewarned that I've got a holly and phoenix feather wand, plus a real knack for the Disarming Charm.
Nora: Really?
Erin: (sotto voce) Just play along.
Storyteller: Um, is it true that too many memory charms can scramble your brains?
Erin: Yeah...but seeing as Claudia has had to live with those two for the last little bit, I wouldn't be surprised if she already was scrambled. No offense, by the way, Claudia.
Nora: Hmm...wonder if Bunsen's lab coat hides any Dark Marks?
Storyteller: Eh, so what else is new?

[BeakerSqueedom]

[LOL! Thanks for the correction. The forgetting thing was part of the humor. XD I thought it sounded more ignorantish that way. See? Ignorantish...heehee..erherm. XD]

Beaker: >_> mee. *suspicious but accepts Erin's offer*

Bunsen: Oops, oh dear. You know too much heir...I'm afraid I must kill you. *chuckles* ^_^ No one is supposed to have known that. : D

Beaker: <3 Mee.

Claudia: >_> I am a muggle with nothing more even though there are wierdos trying to murder the heir of Ravenclaw. XD

Bunsen: Ouch. Beaker...you know I despise the burning pain in that dar--tatoo I was given!

Beaker: oopsmee. XD

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: I'm in the mood for coffee. Let's make coffee! Can we have coffee? Huh? Huh? Can we, please?
Rizzo: I t'ink you've had enough.
Gonzo: I don't! I like him like this! Whoo! More coffee!
Clifford: *shakes head* Boy buys a new Grover mug, and he's downin' all the coffee we have...
Uncle Deadly: Did you honestly expect any less of him?
Clifford: Nah.
Ryan: Coffee! MORE!

[Katzi428]

Aaaaahhhh...stretching out on my bed
Rosita: You tired,Kathy?
Yeah..actually I am stifling a yawn Sorry about that.Didn't mean to be rude.
Rosita:Oh you weren't. You look tired,though.
I'll go to sleep in a little while. Is Gaffer in from her playdate with Fatatita?
Rosita:Prairie went to get her.
Good. I just didn't want Gaffer wandering around all night.
Rosita:Oh she doesn't.She and Fatatita are good friends. They're always together.Besides,if Ed or the Count sees them together and it's late,he goes looking for them.Just like we do.
Prairie coming in with Gaffer: She was having a good time with Fatatita and didn't want to come home just yet. I had to get both from under the chairs on the second floor. Not easy if you ask me! :rolleyes:
Rosita:Oh Prairie..I'm sorry!I should have gone with you.
Prairie:That's OK Rosita. Both kitties are safe and sound now,right,Gaffer?
Gaffer glares at Prairie
Prairie: Oh Gaffie...don't be mad! I love you and just wanted you to be safe!You can play with Fatatita tomorrow,I promise!
Gaffer:Prrt?
Prairie:Yes...really.
Gaffer jumps on my bed and starts giving Prairie kitty kisses and headbonks
Awwww! OK ladies....I'm tired. Oh by the way...MC Dorms were brought to you by the letters C for cat M for Meow and the number 3
MC Orms are a production of Muppet Central! Goodnight! blowing a kiss

[Erine81981]

Letter:

Hey guys,
Sorry that we can't be there. With everything going haywire we just can't be there. We will be back soon but not to soon. Hey Bryan? Telly is doing fine. He and the other monsters are staying with me and my parents. He does miss you, Big Bird, Ernie and Bert. I also miss everyone there. But wanted to let everyone here know we are coming back but not to soon.

Your freinds,
Kyle, Herry, Murray, Grover, Telly and
Oscar the Grocuh

[The Count]

Aargh... Long day, and an equally long night. Only the A's are done, still have a whole alphabet to go through...

Ryan, if you have a new Grover mug and have to use it, quit the coffee and switch to hot chocolate instead or ice cream sundaes.
Glad Fatatatita got to have some fun with Gaffer while I was cooped up in here.
Kyle must not have noticed Telly went back to Bryan's room as soon as he came back.
Hey Erin... I'll see your holly and phoenix tailfeather wand and disarming charm... And raise you a cloak of invisibility, stone of resurrection, and a unicorn's hair core wand. The bet's to you Beaker.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: >_> Meee! *pleased with Eddie*

Bunsen: @_@ I suppose Eddie is a vampire in the wizarding world?

Claudia: OOO! That'd be awesome!

Bunsen: *gets his Lignum Vitae 16' essence of dragon whisker*

Claudia: Oh wait..I AM FORGETFUL! :D I do not remember anything at all. XD

Bunsen: Nice acting. *shakes head*

Beaker: @_@

[Gloat]

Adam: *walks into the room with shopping bag, the room is completely black only lit by a few candles around the room, apart from the candles, its pitch black* huh? *walks in further looking for the light swith, when Boppity and Gloat jumps out from the darkness*

Boppity and Gloat: GAAHHHH!

Adam: Ah! Geez! *turns on the lights then grabs them both by the necks* What are you doing?

Boppity: ....*random noise* ....

Adam: *releases grip on their throat*

Boppity: We were preparing

Adam: *lets them down* preparing for what?

Gloat: Hallowe'en!

Adam: Hallowe'en? But thats ages away

Boppity: For us it's the best day of the year

Adam: Cos your monsters?

Boppity: Exactly

Adam: Well can you not practice in here? I don't wanna have to kick you out

Gloat: But we need to practice! We need to be scary

Adam: .... Alright, but just cos i like you *smiles* but practice with each other and not with anyone else or we'll be kicked out of this place for sure

Boppity: Alright... Were we good?

Adam: ..... No, i would be more scared if you were normal for once, you do need practice

Boppity: aww... I thought we did well

Adam: Just joking, you kinda freaked me out, but dont do it again!

Gloat: We promise

Adam: Good *looks up and notices all the furniture stuck to the ceiling* ....... Please, don't even try to explain

[theprawncracker]

Uncle Deadly: I love modern technology.
Clifford: Why's that dude?
Uncle Deadly: *points to calmed down Ryan* Decaf coffee.
Clifford: Heh heh!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: Technology is fascinating. Were I not inspirationally useless-- it'd be just wonderful to dig into that sort of stuff. Nothing I can do at this point.

Claudia: You've been like this for days Bunnie!

Bunsen: A scientist without his creativity, leaves him a day without a single discovery made. In this case it has been days. It is like having your favorite artist having no more dance moves to use.

Claudia: Michael Jackson is my man, ok? Lay off of him...he is the KING of dance! *Gospel music starts* MMhhm! Ain't no one like him I says! Right girls?

*Random gospel girls start to sing from behind*

Bunsen: *Confused* Where did they come from? How di-

Claudia: He is divinity in motion! *snaps fingers* MMHMM! You sure ain't gonna find anotha like that brotha. He is the cosmos!

Beaker: *afraid*

Bunsen: Oh my...

Claudia: *dressed up in a long blue robe with a michael jackson book in her hand as if it was the bible* MMMHMM!

Bunsen: I am a man...so I will not slap you into sanity. Instead I'll simply stuff you into this nice machine right here that will fix up that chemical imbalance you have...*truly disturbed*

Claudia: YOU DARE DEFY MY MICHAEL?

Bunsen: Yes, I do.

Claudia: Then suffer his wrath. :3 *puts in a Jackson vid of his music clips* SUSIE GOT YOUR NUMBER! SUSIE AIN'T YOUR FRIEND! LOOK WHO GOT YOU UNDER! XD LADDALDALDA!

Bunsen: Beaker...please make her stop! D: Hush up Claudia! AT ONCE!

Beaker: *Looks up to her innocently* *Gives a hug*

Claudia: O_o AWWWW *Carries him and huggles him madly*

Bunsen: One way to stop Claudia from rambling on about how wonderful Mr. Jackson is. : P I suppose that was an experiment in itself! I feel joyous.

Claudia: *giggling*

[The Count]

*Heads off to the bat-rooms for a shower, dressing up in casual clothes, and then some dinner. *Sends Batty with a message for Kathy, and another for Claudia, gripped in each of his claws, held apart so he knows which is for whom.
*Hums the tune of "Dee, Dee, Dee" as I go, towel folded in my arms and my robe over the shoulder.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *steps out of her room casually before spotting a flying bat. She grabs hold of the message from it's little claws careful not to do any harm.* Thanks Batty! :D Here is an awesome little spider for you! *gives Batty a dead spider that she found nearby*

Bunsen: A message from Edward?

Claudia: yah!

Bunsen: How nice. : )

Beaker: *still in Claudia's embrace* *getting stiff from too much hugging* Meee!

Claudia: Awwww I like hugging you. You're so soft and squishy. :3

Beaker: *shakes head*

[Gloat]

*All three walk into the common room, Adam carrying a large shopping bag*

Gloat: ooh! What did you get?

Adam: Stuff

*all sit down in the middle of the common room, Adam opens the bag*

Adam: *starts taking things out* Got myself a Marillion CD and a new razor, and the rest of the stuff is mostly for you guys

Boppity: Aww, you didn't have to go through all that trouble

Adam: I wanted to keep you quiet for an hour or so, i had to *pulled out extra bag* Since you guys are preparing for halowe'en, i got you some facepaints, scary masks, robes...

Gloat: Wow, this is gonna be the best halowe'en ever!

Adam: As long as i dont see you the whole day, yes it will. Anyway, i also bought you a microphone since you appear to thing you're good singers

Boppity: Oh dont worry, we are *winks*

Adam: I don't believe you, you're monsters, monsters weren't supposed to sing

Boppity: But we've had lots of practice when we were on The Muppet Show

Adam: Alright, whatever, i believe you *rummaging to bottom of the bag*

Gloat: *tilts head* what you got there?

Adam: Since you've been good, well, good for your standards at least, i thought i would buy you some traditional English food!

Boppity and Gloat: English?

Adam: Fish and chips! *smiles* .... but most of it's for me *hands a bag to each of them, they opens them and stare at the food*

Boppity: It looks very greasy and fatty

Gloat: I'm trying to keep my figure at the moment, and Boppity is right, looks kinda... fatty

Adam: It's food

Gloat: He's got a point

*Both dive into there food*

Adam: Great, now i lost my appetite, and i bet everyone else in here has aswell *shakes head*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: If you've got any treacle sponge in there, Adam, I wouldn't say no to a bit of that.
Nora: Treacle sponge?
Erin: Steamed treacle pudding...I first tried it when we went to London last year. (swoons) It's heavenly with a splash of vanilla custard.
Storyteller: Judging from the way you talk about it, I don't doubt that it is delicious...so how come you haven't tried to make it?
Erin: Well, the thing is, treacle's not really available in the U.S. The closest we've got is molasses and corn syrup...but molasses is something different, and I don't like using lots of corn syrup. (goes to room, starts to rummage for binoculars)
Nora: What's going on?
Erin: It's the Perseids tonight. I'm going out into the courtyard to see if I can spot any. (emerges with binoculars and a quilt to sit on)
Storyteller: Oooh, I'll get my telescope...and did I tell you about the legend of Moony the Merggle, who tried to make rocket fuel out of old dishcloths and fermented radish soup...

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Bill: I see you finally added an update to your Father Marty story.
Marty: Glad you noticed Bill. It is slowly starting to fall into place.
Bill: And Beth's new Sesame Street story is looking good as well. Cookie Monster should be pleased to see he's starring in two great fan-fic works.
Marty: He certainly is. I shall add some more to my story soon. I hope he's liking it as much as Beth's.
Bill: I bet he is.

[Gloat]

Erin: If you've got any treacle sponge in there, Adam, I wouldn't say no to a bit of that.
Nora: Treacle sponge?
Erin: Steamed treacle pudding...I first tried it when we went to London last year. (swoons) It's heavenly with a splash of vanilla custard.


Well, er, i havent got any here but i can buy some for ya, i know a good chippy down a few blocks *gets up* could you also take this? *hands over own fish and chips* Those two put me off *smiles*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: You do not build a rocket like that. That fellow was probably quite primitive in his technology or *pauses with a thoughtful gaze*... simply lacked my extraordinary skills! *Pleased with himself*

Claudia: Don't be so modest! *sarcasm*

Beaker: *shakes head* Meesigh.

Bunsen: Oh please, I could not possibly accept this noble prize for my ingenious work. I only composed it with...*Snaps back to reality* *Sees his friends and appears sheepish* oopsy! :D

Claudia: @_@

[Erine81981]

We all walk into the dorms

Hey you guys! We are back and glad to be.

Herry: Glad to be back.

Did everyone know that Telly already went back to Bryans?

Monsters: Yeah.

Oh i didn't know that.

Grover: I hope everyone saw the new season of our famous street.

Murray: I just hope everyone liked my word of the day segment at the beginning.

I know i loved it.

Maurice: I hope that Prairie knew that we were gone and that she didn't mind getting me a replacement while i was gone.

Come on. Let's go tell Ed we are back.

We all head to Ed's room

[BEAR]

Big Bird: (strolling down the hallway) La la la la la... Oh! Hi there, Kyle! Hi, Monsters! Welcome back! Did you have a nice trip?

[Erine81981]

Hi Big Bird! *hugs him* We enjoyed it.

Grover: But we really missed everyone here too.

Herry: Yeah.

How have you been since i hadn't seen you in a while.

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Oh, I've been fine. Have you read any of Beth's new story? It's really sad but soo good! And I went to the park yesterday with Snuffy! We played explorers. Then this morning I had a big bowl of yummy Birdseed Krispies. I spilled the milk but I didn't cry! Hehe! And now, I am just going for a little walk. I thought I'd go to the garden and visit my friend Stinky the Stinkweed. What are you doing?

[Erine81981]

We're going to let Ed know we are back from our little trip and can't wait to for some fun to start around here.

Maurice: Yeah. Some fun!

Murray: Is it ok if i go with Big Bird?

Sure. If Big Bird says it's alright. We will back to our room later if you, Bryan and the gang want to have dinner tonight over in our room.

[Gloat]

Adam: *drops a bag of treacle sponge on Erin's door, then walks back to his dorm, and walks in* Hey guys!

Boppity and Gloat: Hi

Adam: Just gave Erin some treacle sponge, i feel good, so im gonna treat you two aswell

Gloat: really? how?

Adam: We're going to the park a few miles down the road, apparantly they just installed some swings, thought you might wanna try something fun for once

Boppity: Oh wow, thanks, but do we really have to walk? It's a little bright outside

Adam: You're monsters, not vampires

Gloat: then can we go to the arcade?

Adam: As long as we don't spend any money

Gloat: Deal

[Skeeter Muppet]

Boober: *walking up to the computer desk* What are you doing, Kim?
Kim: Writing.
Boober: ...as in actual...writing writing? Story writing?
Kim: *sighs* Yes, story writing writing. A Fraggle story, if you must know.
Tosh: A story about us?
Kim: Yup.
Gillis: Think you'll actually finish this one?
Betty Lou: Gillis!
Kim: Hey; don't go there, Maestro. Do we bug you and ask if you're going to finish when you're working on a song?
Gillis: Well, no...
Kim: Then why do you do it when I'm writing?
Gillis: *sighs* ...You're right. I'm sorry.
Kim: Apology accepted, Maestro.

-Kim

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Thanks, Adam...smells good. (goes into kitchen)
Erin: (going through a book with Storyteller) Hmm, yes, that looks good...that's okay, too...no, that one's way too complicated...
Storyteller: Well, we all know he's fond of orange and chocolate. And it's summer, so we might consider an ice cream cake...
Nora: What's going on?
Erin: Richard's birthday in three days.
Storyteller: Yeah, so we're going over cake recipes.
Nora: Wow, that's right...I hope Scooter remembers...
Erin: Oh, he should. He and Richard were/are best pals, after all.
Storyteller: Yes, yes...what's that smell?
Nora: Oh...Adam dropped this off. Treacle sponge.
Erin: Excellent, grab some bowls and spoons, everyone.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: I am so tired, those storms sure kept me awake last night
Red: I didn't hear them
Wanda: I did
Cookie: Me too
Beth: *Yawn* Well anyway, we needed the rain so I guess that's ok. So before I forget guys I have to find a place for you to stay for four days.
Red: Where are you going?
Beth: My all girls trip is Friday of this week through Monday. Four day weekend, it will be nice
Wanda: I'm sure we can find a place to stay, we can ask around and see who's here
Beth: Yeah, I'm not worried about it. We'll have it figured out by Thursday evening.

[Gloat]

*Adam is on a step ladder in the dorm, trying to take the furniture off the ceiling, Boppity walks in*

Boppity: Hi Adam, having a good day?

Adam: no

Boppity: Well i know what will cheer you up! *Takes out two party poppers and explodes them onto Adam, the coloured paper landing all over him*

Adam: ....

Boppity: *smile dissapears* You're not entirel happy are you?

Adam: I'm cleaning up the mess you made, and i havent had coffee for twenty minutes!

Boppity: But Gloat did the coffee machine, i just stuck up everything else

Adam: Come a little closer to me

Boppity: *moves closer*

Adam: There we go *Detaches a bed from the ceiling and it lands on Boppity* You deserved that

Boppity: I know

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: THE BEDS ARE FALLING! D:

Bunsen: Excuse me? *looks around*

Beaker: Mee?

Claudia: I thought I heard something fall...sounded loud because it was a bed...

Bunsen: You have been infected with Paranoia. A hazardous disorder caused by cheese and pretzels.

Claudia: What?

Bunsen: I wanted to sound funny. Apparently, I failed to accomplish that humorous feel. *Slinks off*

Beaker: Meep.

Claudia: >_>;;; What the meep?

Beaker: *Gasp*

Claudia: Sorry, I should not say those words.

Beaker: MEEE! *Tries to wash her mouth with soap*

Claudia: AHHH! PLEASE! NOOO! AHHHRRGH! THE SOAP!

Bunsen: *enters the scene suddenly* What in the name of Isaac is happening here?


*Sees Claudia with soap in her mouth*

Storyteller: Ick...now what silly creature came up with the practice of rinsing mouths out with soap, as punishment for using bad words?
Erin: (looks up from cookbook) Yeah, and Claudia would have to say a lot worse than "meep" for her to be cursing.
Storyteller: Mm, yes...(grabs a bottle of some liquid and heads off) Come on, Claudia, I've got some radish juice with me. It'll get the taste out of your mouth.
Erin: (goes back to reading cookbook) Let's see...orange marble cake...chocolate layer cake with orange glaze...chocolate-mint swamp cake - no, I'm saving that for Jim's birthday...

[BeakerSqueedom]

(OOC: By a bad experience. My teacher ACTUALLY dragged me to the bathroom for saying the bad version of "dern" as a kid--I was like 8 years old LOL! XD I never was the same after that. That's why I try not to curse...THE SOAP THE SOAP! D: )

Claudia: Thanks ST...*Gets the liquid and pours it in her own cup before drinking it up* XD That is better tasting than that terrible soap.. Thanks guys! Now to punish that little piece of booger! *Runs after a squealing Beaker*

Beaker: MEEMEEEEMEEEE!

Claudia: RAWR!

Bunsen: Rawr? Erin, I think a muffler is needed. >_> Oh dear!

Claudia: >_> RAWR!

Herry: What's you eatting?

[BEAR]

Hey Beth! I'd be happy to take in Cookie or any of your roomies while you're gone. Let me know.

[Gloat]

*Adam finally gets all the furniture off the ceiling and is drinking his own body weight in coffee, Boppity and Gloat are watching 'Carry on' films*

Boppity: ahhhh, Carry On films, they aren't horror films, but they make up for it in comedy

Gloat: And that Kenneth Williams is the best actor ever!

Adam: You think so?

Gloat: Yes, he's better than you

Adam: *pours boiling coffee on him, he screams* I know he's better than me, but don't rub it in!

Gloat: *runs out dorm and down to the poolroom, jumping headfirst into the deep end, returns to surface seconds later* ow *steam rising off the water*

[redBoobergurl]

Cookie: Me would love to go stay with Bryan while you gone
Beth: I will let him know. I am thinking maybe Red can go to Ryan's and Wanda can go to Ed's or Kathy's.
Cookie: Sound good to me. You think Bryan has cookies?
Beth: I'm sure he does Cookie Monster *pats his furry head*

[The Count]

Just so long as he doesn't go out of business... *Slight reference to today's episode.

Sorry I'm late Count. Got back from Penny Candyman's, was buying some treats for Batty.
Count: Oh? Vhat did you get?
*Lying down on bed... Got him eight peppermint orbs.
Count: The red and white swirly ones?
No... These are mint green and have little mint frosted spikes all over the sphere. Kind of like a hedgehog croquet ball but in candy form.
Count: Ah... The Queen of Hearts might like those next time at one of her tea parties at the castle.
Also got eight crunchy butterscotch squares. *Yawns... Might go back tomorrow and get some nut clusters.
Count: You sound bushed.
Yeah... Think I'll take a little nap and come back to make the rounds later.
*Falls asleep.
The Count proceeds to let Batty out of his roost for tonight's mid-night flight, sampling one of the minty spike balls.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *knocks on Beth's door* Hey Beth! I'd be happy to let Red stay with me and the guys!
Gonzo: You didn't even ask us if it was okay!
Ryan: *blink* So?
Gonzo: Well what if I have a problem with it?
Ryan: Do you?
Gonzo: No. But if I did, I'd be really upset with you right now.
Ryan: ...Well thank goodness you don't.

[Erine81981]

*watchings some old Muppet Show episodes from the first season* This is my favorite.

Grover: My favorite was when we were on the show. Remember that Herry?

Herry: I sure do. Oh that Swedish Chef was fun to meet.

Maurice: I loved his soup he made.

Murray: I wished i could of been there.

Herry: Yea...but it was back in the day.
Hold on guys. This is my favorite song. *starts to sing alone*

Oscar: *pops up* Ahhhh you wouldn't want to be there Murray. To much lovey dovey stuff.

Murray: But i love lovey dovey stuff.

Oscar: Phooey. *walks out of the room*

Everyone laugh

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Yay, everything is coming together, I'm happy you guys will have places to stay
Red: So when are you leaving again?
Beth: Well, Friday morning technically, but I think I'm going to have you guys go to your places Thursday night. I'll be busy packing and running errands and I don't even know if I'll be around here much
Wanda: I can understand that
Beth: Tell you what though, how about we have lunch together tomorrow, all four of us?
Cookie: Me love lunch!
Beth: I kind of figured
Red: What about today? What are we going to do today?
Beth: Swimming?
Red: OK!

[Gloat]

*all in the pool*

Boppity: Seems warmer than usual today

Adam: Good thing aswell, i've been really cold lately, must be the weather

Gloat: So what are we doing today?

Adam: Well since you want the room decorated, ill do that

Boppity: OK we'll get the other stuff

Adam: Other stuff?

Boppity: You'll see

Adam: Oh no *holds head in hands* Don't spend too much this time, i dont wanna have to resort to busking

Boppity: You? Busking?

Adam: No, you busking, people seem to like slapstick humour

Gloat: You're going to slap us with sticks?

Adam: ... Gloat, Slapstick, its a type of comedy

Gloat: I know, just trying to keep you on your toes

Adam: *stares*

Boppity: That reminds me! We managed to scare someone!

Adam: Really?

Boppity: Yeh, we were at the shopping center, and we bumped into a guy who asked who we were, we told him we were from the Muppet show and told him our names

Adam: Must have been scared half to death from just seeing you

Boppity: But then he said he had never seen us and didnt have a clue who we were, so we hung him on top of a large fountain

Adam: ...

Gloat: Great eh?

Adam: Thats not how you scare people!

Boppity: What?

Adam: You're gonna get yourselves arrested!

boppity and Gloat: Oh...

Adam: Promise me you'll never attack anyone again or try to scare anyone outside this building!

Boppity: .... Alright...

Adam: Good, now come on, we got work to do, and when you go to buy stuff, apologise to the guy, and don't duck when he atempts to push you

Boppity and Gloat: Ok

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: (listening to dialogue between Adam, Boppity and Gloat) Hanging a man from a fountain...if that keeps up they're going to have their pictures on the wall at the post office.

Erin: All right...I think this is the one I'll make. (closes cookbook)
Nora: What, you mean the cake for Richard's birthday?
Erin: Yes. As we know, Richard's awfully fond of orange and chocolate...so this cake is an orange layer cake, with orange sauce between the layers to make it nice and moist, and a chocolate glaze drizzled all over the top.
Storyteller: Oooh, nice...or maybe you could throw some pineapple into it somewhere.
Erin: Yeah, make it tropical. And I'll whip up a batch of mango-orange sorbet to go along with it.

[The Count]

Nice to see the cake finally chosen. Remember that most of Richard's "friends" who live here in the dorms share his birthday tomorrow as well. It'll be a heck of a party, maybe some of the RHLC-ers would like to visit and make it truly something to party about.
Oh well, I'll leave that to Erin and Sara. Got other things on the ol' to-do list for the day.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *scribbling furiously in notebook*
Uncle Deadly: Ah ha, has inspiration struck, my fiend?
Ryan: Not in the least. I'm just scrambling to finish my Honors English homework.
Uncle Deadly: Another short story?
Ryan: No, a journal about a book I haven't finished yet.
Uncle Deadly: *head tilt* Good luck with that.
Ryan: Gargh... this is NOT how I wanted to spend my last day of freedom...
Uncle Deadly: Perhaps, then, you should've finished this homework of your earlier than the final day of summer?
Ryan: ...Logic was never one of my strong suits.
Uncle Deadly: Which can be shown by your choice of roommates.
*something in the kitchen explodes*
Rizzo: *from kitchen* You expect me to eat d'at?
Ryan: ...Tell me about it.

[Katzi428]

Hey girls! waving package excitedly in the air Look what came in the mail today!

Rosita:Bueno! Hey...I just finished making tuna salad for us for lunch. So we can have it while watching the DVD.

[BEAR]

Bry: Hey, guys! Guess who's staying with us this weekend.
Big Bird: Snuffy?
Bry: No.
Bert: Grover?

Ernie: Prairie Dawn?
Bry: No...
Telly: Baby Chapman?
Bry: Haha! No, Telly!
Big Bird: Then who?
Bry: Cookie Monster!
Roomies: Yaaaay!

Ernie: Khekhekhe!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(whir of mixer in room 7's kitchen)

Erin: Nora, pass me the flour mixture, would you?
Nora: Coming over! (hands over large bowl of flour, baking powder and salt)
Erin: Thank you kindly. (starts to pour it into the cake batter) Storyteller, would you start softening a few more sticks of unsalted butter?
Storyteller: Already done, and I've zested and juiced the oranges.
Erin: And the pineapple?
Storyteller: Cored and juiced.
Erin: Excellent...(stops mixer, scrapes down bowl and starts to divide batter between three greased layer pans)
Nora: How many of these cakes are we making?
Erin: At least three - 'cause we're feeding the RHLC crew, the dorm residents and anyone else who wants to drop in. (puts pans into oven, since heated to 350 degrees)
Storyteller: All right, I'll get to work on the glaze.
Erin: The baking chocolate's in the cabinet on the right. (starts to make orange-pineapple glaze) Nora, peel and cube those mangos and mix them with some lemon zest and sugar. That's for the sorbet.
Nora: I'm on it.
Erin: And do it over the sink, 'cause they're a tad ripe.

[Gloat]

Adam: *finishes painting the ceiling black* Never thought it would look this bad*

*Boppity and Gloat walk in*

Adam: I tought you said black would look good on the ceiling, it looks horrible

Boppity: Makes us feel more at home, anyway, we got decorations

Adam: Like what?

Gloat: Spider webs, candles, stuff like that

Adam: But we were supposed to be happy living here!

Boppity: We'll be happy

Adam: What about me? I bought this place!

Gloat: We got you a rubber duck *smiles*

Adam: *refrains from beatin them* Did you apologise to the guy you assaulted?

Boppity: He started running after us so we super-glued him to a Jeep

Adam: That's it *grabs them both by the scruff and chucks them out the door* Go for a walk or something, leave me alone for an hour or so, and get some cookies while your at it! *closes door*

Gloat: He'll be smiling again in ten minutes

Boppity: I know, lets get some cookies

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:

*Looks sympathetically at Bobbity and Gloat and shakes his head as he once again begins to polish up his spectacles with a little blue rag* Try living with the female species--they're the most complex creatures on Earth. For instance, try to borrow her long time childhood plush toy for a little experiment and she tries to throw you out the window as a poor attempt to rescue her beloved toy or make her a temporary guinea pig for a perfectly safe experiment and she goes out running with screams capable of physical torture.

Beaker:

Meep mee!

Bunsen:

Oh yes, Adam is highly merciful compared to our demoni- *Sees a happy Claudia skip their way* ...er little bundle of giggles and fun! *Gulps as he fiddles with his glasses*

Claudia:
I PASSED THE TEST ! THE NIGHTMARE IS GONE! *Smothers the nerdy two with kisses and hugs*

Bunsen:
OH DEAR!

Beaker:
MEEEEHELP!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(in the now completely cake-scented kitchen of room 7)

Nora: Woof...four cakes, at three layers apiece...I can't believe it.
Erin: Believe it, and pass me the bowl of orange sauce while you're at it. (starts to set up bottom layers on cake plates, spreading a generous bit of sauce on top)
Storyteller: Nice...next layers, now.
(and cycle continues until all four cakes are assembled)
Erin: (smearing last bit of orange sauce on top of all 4) Now for the glaze...Storyteller, that's your job.
(S. picks up the bowl of chocolate glaze and drizzles it all over the top and sides of each cake)
Erin: Nice...wait, one last touch...Nora, would you get that bowl of sliced almonds I toasted earlier?
Nora: Here you go...(ice cream mixer dings) And the sorbet's done; I'll get that into the freezer before it decides to melt.
(E. takes the almonds, and sprinkles them in a large 'RH' on the top of one of the cakes, which had been made slightly larger than the others)
Erin: All done.
Nora: Why just that one?
Erin: Well, it seems we're celebrating multiple birthdays tomorrow...but this one will be the centerpiece cake. (picks up phone) Ed, the cakes and sorbet are all done.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: The Semester is almost here, so why don't we go school shopping at Wal-Mart

ZOE: Yes, because I need some new clothes

BABY BEAR: Because I need a new binder

LITTLE BIRD: And I'm thinking of what should I get for Birdkateers

(Everybody Exchanges Goodnights)

[Erine81981]

Good night everyone.

Grover: Good night Kyle. Good night Herry. Good night Maurice. Good night Murray.

Murray: Good night Kyle. Good night Grover. Good night Maurice. Good night Herry. Good night Maurice.

Herry: Good night Kyle. Good night Murray. Good night Grover. Good night Maurice.

Maurice: Good night Kyle. Good night Herry. Good night Murray. Good night Grover.

Good night everyone in this room.

Grover: *yells from his room* But we are not all in the same room!

*yells back* I know!

Grover: So i do not get it?

Herry: He was just saying Grover. But i'll ask him what he means tomorrow. Good night Grover.

Grover: Good night Herry. *turns on night light and then covers up* Ooooo the stars look so cute up in the sky.

Murray: *walks in* I like stars too but i also love dogs. *few muppet dogs come into the our room*

MURRAY!

Murray: Uh oh. Good night guys. *runs back into bed*

Muppet Dog: Bark! Bark! Woof! Woof! *jumps into bed with me*

I'll have to talk to that monster of mine......tomorrow. Good night. And you too dog.

Muppet Dog: *lays head down*

[The Count]

*Passed out on bed, unconscious what with the projects still left to finish, as he's busy as a bat in restless flight.
The Count got Erin's message and let her know that there'll be a notice dutifully posted tomorrow announcing the celebrations.

[redBoobergurl]

Cookie: We still go to lunch today?
Beth: Yep, we can go anywhere you guys want
Red: Might as well do Everybody Eats, that's the only place we'll all agree on
Wanda: She's probably right, they have the best variety
Beth: Ok, should we go around 11:30 or so?
Red: Sounds good to me
Wanda: Me too
Cookie: Me three

[The Count]

Hello from the dorms management team.

We'd like to let everybody know that there's a mega-bash planned for later today. Why's that? Because we're celebrating birthdays for Alex, known here as Beakerfan, Janice, Beaker, Don Music, and... the man of the day, Richard Hunt.
Count: 5 fabulous festive birthdays!
*Thunder and lightning can be heard and seen outside.

So if you want to help, talk to Erin in Room #7 as she's our resident RHLC leader or any of the people who room with the corresponding celebrateurs.
Hope to see you there today and have a great day.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(Erin enters with a vase and a pair of scissors)

Erin: Let's see...R is for the rip-roaring laughs you gave us, I is for the insane antics you created...C is for the cackles we kept hearing from the trenches...um, H is for Henry, the middle name your parents gave you...

(clips a large bunch of peonies from the bush growing in the pot in the kitchen - need to get that transplanted to the courtyard, with Ed's permission - and puts them in water)

Erin: Okay, let's see...um...A is for the A-plus puppeteer that you are...or were...R is for the Rock of Fraggles, which you appeared on...and D is for director, which you were for "The Honk of Honks." (pause, then sighs) I've done better.

(up in heaven)

Richard: Bad case of writer's block?

(down here)

Erin: Yes...and for me it's chronic.
Richard: Too bad...nice group of peonies, though.

(Ed: do I have permission to invite the rest of the RHLC - the non-dorm residents - in for the fete?)

[Skeeter Muppet]

Boober: Waiting until the last minute to do something for Richard's birthday, I see.
Kim: Oh, I am not, Boober. I'm hoping to have the prologue and first chapter of my story posted today.
Boober: Then why aren't you working on it?
Kim: Because my word processer program is old and crap, okay? Sheesh.
Gillis: What songs are we putting into the fanmix this year?
Kim: Hey, that's your job Maestro. I'm just in charge of album art. But I think one or two of those items from Jim's memorial service might fit in well...
Gillis: *nodding* Yes, yes I believe you're right!
Boober: Why don't you restart your computer? That always fixes it.
Kim: Thanks for the advice, O Great and Wise Computer Tech. How about gifts for Janice, Beaker, Don and Alex? How're we doing on those?
Tosh: Well, we got a new hat and a CD of women in rock and roll for Janice...
Betty Lou: ...a flame resistant lab coat for Beaker...
Tosh: ...a book on classical composers for Don...
Betty Lou: ...and for Alex a gift certificate to the music store in town.
Kim: Sounds good, girls. Sounds good.

-Kim

[The Count]

Of course you have permission to call them in Erin... Didn't I say so yesterday? Oh well...
And if by courtyard you mean the outside patio/garden with performance stage deck/gazebo, then yes, I think the peonies would be a nice touch amidst the black roses and orchids that bloom there. Who knows, maybe even Stinky would like some of them as company out there.
*Goes back to working on the list while Count's out shopping for gifts for the crew.

Hmm... Wonder who Beth got to watch over Wanda for the weekend while she's away.

[redBoobergurl]

Wanda: Good question Ed, I still don't know myself. If you don't mind, can I crash down with you guys?

Beth: You guys ready to go to lunch?

Roomies: YEAH!

[The Count]

Sure... Y Not. Thought Beth would've talked to Kathy, but is okay by me. And I think Fatatatita would like some catty company too.
*Mmm, gotta keep going to finally finish this monster headache today.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *still asleep*
Floyd: *to Pepe and Animal* ssshhhhh!
All Three: *pop up around Alex's bed* HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Animal: *jumps up and down* PRE-SANT! *hands Alex a plate of food*
Alex: Oh how sweet you guys! And Animal! You made me breakfast? Awwwww..... *looks at plate* It looks.... delicious! *mumbles*whatever it is....
Pepe: Seniorita! I helped too hokay! See, I made you horchata hokay! And.... later..... we can share my real present together..... *suave, somewhat creepy look*
Alex: Thank you for the horchata! But as for the other present, no offence to you, but you might want to get me something else. You should know by now I'm not that kind of girl..... *looks around* Where'd Floyd run off to?
Pepe: Aw, well, um... he went off to see his lady, jou know? Because today is her birthday hokay? And um.... well, he wanted to spend some time with her....
Alex: Pepe, go no further. I got it. So, what are we getting Janice for her birthday?
Animal: CAKE! CAKE!
Pepe: zat is a good idea, no? Everybody like cake, hokay? Just like everybody like Pepe!
Alex: Well, Animal, I know you do seem to enjoy baking, so do you two want to get started on that? Pepe, you'll have to read the instructions for him. And don't let things get too out of hand, ok? I'll get started wrapping Beaker's present.

[redBoobergurl]

Cookie: Mmm, that good lunch
Red: It was pretty yummy
Beth: I'm glad we had some time to spend together. Now, you all have places to stay, so I'm going to leave you guys now, I have so much stuff to do, I need to go to stay at my real house tonight. So, I won't see you guys until Monday afternoon sometime.
Red: I'll miss you *hugs Beth*
Beth: I'll miss all of you, but you'll have fun with our dorm friends. There's a birthday party tonight.
Red: Party? Awesome!
Beth: All right, have fun, see you when I get back!
*they all hug and separate, Beth heads to her car, Red goes in search of Ryan, Wanda heads down to Ed's and Cookie goes to look for Bryan and his roommates*

[Erine81981]

Hey guys. It's Alex's birthday.

Murray: As well as Janice, Beaker and Don Music. Who is Don Music?

Grover: He is one the wonderful piano playing musicians of Sesame Street.

Murray: I guess i had never heard of him.

Oh this is great! I get to go buy Alex a birthday present! This is going to be great!

Murray: But don't forget about the others.

Bye. I've got to go! *shoots out door*

Murray: He forgot about the other birthday guest.

Grover: He does that alot. But do not worry. We can help out buy going to the store later.

Murray: Sounds good to me.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *Studying* 2..3...4....*Scribbles something on her paper*

Bunsen: *Sits in front of her*

Claudia: *Only the sound of her pencil scratching against the paper*

Bunsen: *Stares*

Claudia: Hmmmhmmm *humming*

Bunsen: *Clears throat rather loudly*

Claudia: *Ignores*

Bunsen: CLAUDIA!

Claudia: *A high pitch squeal escapes her lips as she falls over* WHAT! WHAT! >_>

Bunsen: *Gets off the chair and kneels down on one knee near her* You forgot didn't you?

Claudia: About what Bunnie?

Bunsen: Today is a very special day for a certain assistant of mine who has kindly stayed up to help you with your homework. Today, Claudia, is the very day that marked Beakie's existence and you forget it?

Claudia: *Angered expression fades into a shocked one* WHAT? OH NO! Beaker, Richard, Alex...and the gang! OH NO! OH NO NO NO! *Panic struck* I DID NOT EVEN GO TO THE STORE YET!

Bunsen: You're lucky I even went to do those things. I labeled some to be yours so Beaker does not stay completely mad at you.

Claudia: I feel ashamed, thanks.

Bunsen: No problem.

---

Beaker: *Sitting out of the school on the grass with a few sad sighs* Meee meee? *Looks at the window where Claudia and Bunsen are* meee...*Sniffles* *Wrapping his presents for Alex, Richard, ect.*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Well Red, I hope you like it here with us, we've got all the necessities. Refrigerator, sink, garbage disposal-
Red: Doozer sticks?
Ryan: ...Okay, not ALL of the necessities...
Red: Oh, that's alright, I brought my own. And my own dodgeball! Whoopie! Hey Gonzo, catch! *Red throws the ball towards Gonzo, which hits him and sends him flying into a wall*
Gonzo: Hahaha! Oh that was SO cool! Do it again!
Red: You got it!
Ryan: Yup, you'll be right at home.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: So what's the plan, Jan?
Erin: Hmm...I think the party's going to be out in the courtyard, plenty of room for people to goof off and have fun.
Storyteller: What are we going to do for the main course?
Erin: Since we've got such a decadent set of cakes, I'd say let's go for some salads, some pitas and grilled vegetables...oh, wait, Nora, did you pick up that box of chocolate-covered donuts, like I asked?
Nora: Right here. (drops box on counter)
Erin: Good, very good...(pause) What's the matter with Beaker?
Storyteller: Oh...Claudia forgot it was his birthday.
Erin: Aw, the poor guy...well, we didn't forget, Beaker's present is over there and...
Nora: It's flying away!
Erin: No it isn't, it's being carried.
Storyteller: Ah - so what's in it?
Erin: A brand-new lab coat, and a geode with bright golden crystals.

(the orange and peach-wrapped box, actually being carried by a certain Muppet performer turned angel, flies across the campus and is set down before Beaker)

Richard: Here you are, Beaker, old pal. Erin asked me to fly this over for you.

[heralde]

Erin: A brand-new lab coat, and a geode with bright golden crystals.

(the orange and peach-wrapped box, actually being carried by a certain Muppet performer turned angel, flies across the campus and is set down before Beaker)

Richard: Here you are, Beaker, old pal. Erin asked me to fly this over for you.

Awww, that's sweet! :eek:

[The Count]

Count: Velcome to all those who've stepped into our little slice of town from the RHLC. The party's getting ready and I think I hear the Electric Mayhem tuning up to rock the prowerbial house in honor of their bandmate's birthday.
Who knows... You might just like it here and decide to register as residents vhen the anniwersary comes. But no pressure... Just enjoy the party!
Happy birthday to you too Richard.

[heralde]

Thanks Count! Not sure if I've ever been here before actually!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: Meemeee? *Sees an angelic Richard with a gift* *Gasps happily* MEEEMEEEMEEEMEE! :3 *Huggles it and thanks Richard*

Claudia: *Walks towards Beaker bashfully* Hey....saw Mr. Hunt flying up there...I am [I]so sorry Beaker. *Sits next to him* I was just so overjoyed with this test and all the studying and...and everything that-that I forgot your very special day--along with many others. *Red in the face* I am so embarrassed.

Beaker: *Looks to his feet momentarily while hugging his gift in a childish manner*

Claudia: Beaker, I'll make it up to you. *Her smile turns wry* I promise to be Bunsen's assistant for the whole semester to come and suffer head explosions, electric shocks, being eaten by a giant bacteria, ect. Like that?

Beaker: *Looks up to her and puts a hand on her shoulder*

Bunsen: Yes, I will make sure she helps me out with my inventions.

Beaker: *Shakes head* Meepnope...*Looks thoughtful* Meemeee?

Claudia: YES! *Gives him a crushing hug*

Bunsen: *Smiles* We've got your gifts...do you intend to open them early?

Beaker: *Shakes head* Meee!


Claudia: After you blow the candles? Alright buddy.

EDIT:

Claudia: HIII HERALDE! :D OMGSH! YAY!

Bunsen: Hello there!

Beaker: *Waves* MEEP MEEP! :D

[heralde]

Hehe thanks! Wow, this is like coming in in the middle of D&D. Continue, I'll just watch for a bit. ;)

[The Count]

Count: Yes vell... If you vant to get in on the fun, you can check back vhen registry's in full swing at the end of the month.
Then again, you'll see vhat this place is like if you stick around and watch instead.

[heralde]

Oh sure I'll watch for awhile, it's very entertaining so far! I have to sign off in a minute, but I'll probably be back. Continue! ;)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: It'd be delightful to have the fellow around!

Beaker: Meemee!

Claudia: *Giggles* The best gift is to have Heralde around?

Beaker: Meep.

Claudia: Aw! I bet Heralde will!

Bunsen: Yes, I'd like to test on him a littl-

Claudia: I would not allow it.

Bunsen: Oh please, as if you had power over me. Respect your elders, dear.

Claudia: I'll show you respect! *Tackles*

Bunsen: SECURITY! SECURITY!

Claudia: Keep callin'!

[heralde]

Claudia: Aw! I bet Heralde will!

Bunsen: Yes, I'd like to test on him a littl-

Claudia: I would not allow it.



Heralde's a girl actually, but thanks all the same, I'm grateful! Lol (I swear, that Bunsen's crazy!)

[BeakerSqueedom]

[XD Forgive me. Did not have his glasses on right.]

Bunsen: Oh dear...

Claudia: *Red* Bunnie...PLEASE

Bunsen: My glasses were foggy that's all. XD

Beaker: Meesheesh.

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: *coming out carrying the presents* Hey, heralde! Welcome to the dorms!
Tosh: Who's that?
Kim: That's heralde, one of the members of the RHLC. She's here for Richard and Alex and Beaker and Don's birthday part today.
Gillis: The RHLC...that's one of the little clubs you belong to, isn't it?
Kim: The only club, Gillis. And given your relationship with Richard you could be considered an honorary member yourself, you know.

-Kim

[heralde]

Kim: *coming out carrying the presents* Hey, heralde! Welcome to the dorms!
Tosh: Who's that?
Kim: That's heralde, one of the members of the RHLC. She's here for Richard and Alex and Beaker and Don's birthday part today.
Gillis: The RHLC...that's one of the little clubs you belong to, isn't it?
Kim: The only club, Gillis. And given your relationship with Richard you could be considered an honorary member yourself, you know.

-Kim

Oh yeah Gillis! I like him! I always wondered why he disapeared halfway through the "Day the Music Died" episode! Hehe

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *grumbles at homework as Dormies head down to the party* Clifford, tell Claudia that she can keep the handkerchief, she'll know what you mean.
Clifford: Ew.
Ryan: That's what I said.
Red: You mean you're not coming to the party, Ryan?
Ryan: Well, not right now, Red, I've got some homework to-
Red: Oh, c'mon, you're being a real Doozer, ya know that? Time for fun!
Ryan: *scrunches up face* Red, I don't think you really understand that I have to do this work, and-
Red: Doozer-head! *skips out*
Ryan: *frowns* I despise the educational system...

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: Hi, heralde, how's it going? (pause) Bunsen, don't even think about testing your latest devices on the party guests. That's an order!
Storyteller: So what time does this foolishness start?
Erin: (snort) I'd say it's already started. (pause) Let's get the food out to the buffet tables around 7 or so.
Nora: (enters room) Hi, heralde, haven't seen the rest of the RHLC - except Erin - since that pie fight you guys had. (to others) I'm sorting the presents - we've got a macrame shawl and some dream catchers for Janice, a silver charm bracelet for Alex...
Erin: Good point - last thing we need is for her to turn into a werewolf. But we're nowhere near a full moon, so we're good.
Nora: And some books of sheet music and a poster of Gershwin for Don...wait, where did Richard go?
Erin: Went back to heaven to get ready. He and his celestial pals should be cruising in here eventually.

[Skeeter Muppet]

Oh yeah Gillis! I like him! I always wondered why he disapeared halfway through the "Day the Music Died" episode! Hehe

Gillis: Because I had other duties that needed my attention, that's why.
Kim: Stop it, Maestro. *places the gifts on the gift table* And actually Erin, the foolishness started when the dorms were first established. It just hasn't ended.

-Kim

[The Count]

You hate the educational system Prawny? *Bangs head on desk. These totals keep coming out wrong... Oh, I'll never finish it all. And there's still that term paper I've um, pushed aside for the time being...
*Peeved at trying to get everything done.

[Beakerfan]

*Pepe and Animal run into bedroom*
Animal: AL-EX! AL-EX!
Pepe: Looklooklook! We have made the cake hokay!
Alex: It's beautiful guys! Janice will love it!
Pepe: Did you wrap the other presents hokay?
Alex: Sure did! Beaker's Beyonce poster J-Lo CD are wrapped and ready to go, as well as Richard's felt flowers which we all made for him, and Don Music's CD of Bach.
Animal: AH BACH!
Alex: *smacks forehead* Ok... um.... let's go pass out the presents! First, I'll put the cake in this carrier so nothing will happen to it. Ok! Let's go find Beaker first!
Pepe: I will carry Senior Hunt's flowers and Senior Music's CD hokay!
Alex: Ok, and Animal, since you and Pepe made it, you can carry Janice's cake.
Animal: Yeahyeahyeah! *grabs cake* *sees Alex give him a stern look* Care-full!
Alex: And I've got Beaker's presents! Let's go!
*the three head off to find Beaker*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: Or maybe the foolishness really started when Jim and the gang got together for the first time.
Nora: Erin? We've got presents for everyone except...
Erin: No, he's covered...I've gotten permission from Ed to plant a peony garden out by the performance stage, so that's one of them. I'll tell you about the other one in a bit. (looks at watch) Let's move the food. We've got salads, shish kebabs, wraps and the vegetable platters, and (sticks head out window)...yes, smells like someone's fired up the grill.
Storyteller: And the desserts?
Erin: We'll move those out last, since they've got to stay refrigerated for a bit.

(Group heads out to party area, bearing bowls and trays of food, along with their presents for the gift table.)

(Meanwhile, a large group of angels, also bearing appropriate gifts and the like, flies in from the northeast and turns in the direction of the campus. The group is led by Richard, and includes Jim, Jerry Juhl, Joe Raposo, Don Sahlin, other deceased Muppet crew members and a few TMS guest stars as well.)

[Skeeter Muppet]

Betty Lou: *whispering* Kim! I don't think we got a present for Richard!
Kim: *also whispering* Don't worry, Betty Lou. I've got it covered.
Betty Lou: Are you sure?
Kim: Trust me.

Boppity: But we'll have no cakes for ourselves

Adam: I'll get you both a carrot next time i go to the market, now empty the freezer, and if any of you lay one claw on on cake, you'll have Bunsen's experiments to answer to

Boppity and Gloat: Yes sir!

Adam: The take everyones gifts and leave them on their doors, and when they answer that door, **** well give em the cutest smile you can give!

Boppity and Gloat: Yes Sir!

[HAHAHA! XD THAT IS AN AWESOME GIFT FOR BEAKIE! XDD]

Beaker: *Drinking his cup of soda failing to hold back excited meeps of happiness*

Claudia: Yes I know you are excited but be paitent! :D

Beaker: *Sees Alex and Co.* MEEPMEEP! *Waves*

Claudia: Oh look! I might as well hand her the gift now that she is here! *Holding a box containing a collection of muppet movies plus muppet show vids in good condition and a hidden little box with a silver necklace inside it*

Bunsen: Just when I needed an unoccupied guinea pig...*sighs and walks to where the party is*

XDD

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: So what was the other gift?
Erin: (scanning skies with binoculars) It was a scroll-type drawing of Richard and all the characters he played - it's going on display in the RHLC HQ after the party.
Nora: What's with the binoculars?
Erin: I'm scanning for arriving guests - and one ghost of honor. (pause) Wait a moment...

(binoculars show a squadron of angels flying in on final approach to the dorms)
Jerry: Don, you're in my flight path, move over.
Don: Well don't bump me, I've got the firecrackers and Catherine Wheels.
Eren: And I've got the baklava.
Joe: Don, I'm amazed they let you have access to that stuff.
Christine: How was Beaker doing?
Richard: He was just fine when I left.
Jim: Dorms in sight.
Richard: (waving arms) Clear the runway!

Erin: They're here - we can get started, then.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Hey Dr. Dew!

Bunsen: Hmm...foshizzle.

Claudia: *Slaps her forehead*

Bunsen: I know. I know. I'll cut it out it's just with all the strange slang some of you teens say--I try to understand it and it amuses me.

Claudia: Not all of the 'youngins' speak like that. I do it occasionally when I am with a person who is prone to those types of words.

Bunsen: I see.

Claudia: Aight?

Bunsen: To the dizzle my home G.

Claudia: *Loling her butt off*

[Beakerfan]

*in Claudia's room*
All: HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAKER!
Alex: *hands Beaker his presents* Here ya go! *recieves present from Claudia* Oh, thank you so much! It's perfect! *puts on necklace*
Pepe: Uh, seniorita, I am thinking Beaker has a present for you hokay.
Alex: *sees Beaker holding chocolates, rose, and plush* Oh Beaker! I love it! *squeezes Beaker in tight bear-hug*

EDIT: ziffled!

[BeakerSqueedom]

XDDD [We were at the party but that'll be cool. I can rp it out again heehee!]

Beaker: *Hugs back* Mee! *Opens gift up* *Red in the face but pleased all the same*

Claudia: OOOOO! BEAKER! *Tease tease*

Beaker: *Red* Mee. *Looks bashful* Thankyoumee!

Claudia: : D

Beaker: Meeemeemee?

Claudia: Beaker says he wants to dance with you when you go down to the party : 3 *Nudges her*

Beaker: *Rolls eyes at Claudia* Meep :3 (Meaning yes)

Bunsen: Oh Beaker! *Sees poster* *Glasses fog up* Oh deary me, what a dazzling gift!

Claudia: *Giggle* Your glasses are all fogged up...

Bunsen: I did not notice...*Clears throat*

[Gloat]

*boppity and Gloat have given gifts to all the right people (for a change) and now only have Beaker to go, they go to his room, hearing others inside and knock on the door*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: *Gets the door* Meehello!

Bunsen: Oh! New gifts!

Claudia: Hi you two! Adam been nice to yah?

[Gloat]

Boppity: You can say so, but these last fews days he hasn't had enough coffee

Gloat: Or too much, Happy Birthday anyway Beaker!

Boppity: Happy Birthday! can we come in? we're bored, and Adam is busy being lazy

Gloat: But don't worry, he still says happy Birthday

[BEAR]

Cookie: (wandering the hallway looking for room 29; singing to self) Fuzzy and blue, me said me fuzzy and blue...from head to bottom of shoe...Now let see...where Bryan's room. This one look right. (knocks on door)
Big Bird: (opens door) Oh! Hi, Cookie Monster!
Cookie: Hi, Birdie!
Big Bird: I heard that you were going to be staying with us while Beth is away.
Cookie: Yeah, me heard that too.
Big Bird: Well, everyone has already headed down to the party. Do you want to go?
Cookie: There going to be cake there?
Big Bird: About 4 or 5 cakes!
Cookie: (puts on a pair of dark shades) Let's party!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(outside)

Richard: So Claudia's back in Beaker's good graces...that's good to hear.
Erin: (starting to sit down in a deck chair) Everything going okay, Richard?
Richard: Fine, just fine...uh, don't sit there; Don (Sahlin) just stuck a few firecrackers under the cushions.
Erin: (jumps to feet) Ooh, thanks for the warning.
Nora: I just dropped off Janice's gifts and Don Music's gifts.
Erin: Nice. I'll run inside and give Alex her charm bracelet...

(explosion and fiendish cackle)

Storyteller: (slow-dancing with a friend from the Rock) Uh-oh, has Mr. Sahlin met up with Crazy Harry?
Jim: (chatting with some of the residents) For the sake of the architecture, I hope not.

(inside, at Claudia's room)

Erin: Alex, are you in there? I have your present! (enters) Here you are, my friend, one silver charm bracelet. Wear it in health, and during the full moon.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: Mee!

Bunsen: Of course, actually we are to go to the party as Beaker would like to have a dance with a certain birthday madam moiselle.

Claudia: Come along if you want! : D We'll have loads of fun...actually....*Looks to Adam's room* *Evil smile*

Bunsen: What are you thinking?

Claudia: *Cackles before stalking towards his room* Come here Adam! : 3 WE WILL HAVE LOADS OF FUN! *Attempts to drag Adam*

Bunsen: Claudia!

Beaker: MEEP!

To Erin:

Claudia: Hey!

Bunsen: Ooo, I am afraid the room is getting rather popular!

Claudia: *Giggles* I think you mean Alex and Beaker!

Bunsen: Mmmhhmm.

[ZootyCutie]

Happy Birthday, Janice!

Janice: Wow, this is rully a surprise! I thought you guys forgot!

Dr. Teeth: Now why would we do that?

Lips: We got you something.

Zoot: Yep. *hands her a CD shaped package*

Janice: *opens it* Wow! You guys got me the Hairspray CD?

After we saw the expression on your face after you saw the movie, we thought you'd like the soundrack to the film.

Janice: Come over here guys! *hugs them*

[Gloat]

Adam: *Comes out* Oh, Hi guys, hi Claudia, whats with the evil smile?

Boppity: *talking to Bunsen and Beaker* We'll go with you, sounds like fun *hands over gifts*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Oh...*Looks sheepish* I was only gonna drag yah out of the room plus it is a party you are missing! The music, cookies, cake, and the festivity! It is a crime to not go out there and have a ball!

X3

Beaker: Mee *Takes the gifts happily and hugs them*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Is it time for the cake yet?
Erin: Well, people are still eating, but we can get the cakes and sorbet anyway.

(in room 7)

Storyteller: All right, Nora, you take one medium cake and the sorbet, I'll take two mediums and Erin will take the center cake.
Erin: Since it's so warm out, we'll set these up in the first-floor (U.S. ground floor) common room. There's a cooler and stuff in there now.
Nora: What about the song and all that?
Erin: We'll have a big group serenade when everyone's all ready - let's get the desserts set up...and don't forget the donuts!

(group sets off, cakes, sorbet and donuts in tow - exactly how this was accomplished in one go is a mystery even to the poster)

[Gloat]

Adam: Ok, i'll come, i guess someones gotta keep my two under control *smiles* What time we goin?

[Gloat]

(OOP: Won't be here for the rest of the party, its 2 AM here, but lets just say i was there)

[The Count]

Wearily, a lone figure makes his way upstairs to the party in order to hand out gifts. For Beaker, there's a small carrier with his own pet Muppaphone inside, and a gift card for one of the many stores around town. For Janice and Don Music, two CD's with inspirational Muppet music and a few other songs that seemed appropriate like Sarah McLaughlin's version of "Rainbow Connection" and the Cowsills' "Flower Girl" in Janice's disc along with a peace medal sign; and "Mary Had A Bicycle", ""Eight Little Notes" by Rowlf, and some of Joe Raposo's songs in Don Music's disc along with a music note medal. For Alex, we got her a day pass at the town's spa and tanning salon, Pigs in a Blanket as well as a little silver pentagram charm. Last, but not least, for Richard... Well, what can we give him but a great party and the joy of being surrounded by his friends, Muppet and otherwise.

Hope everyone's having a good time. *Sneaks a chocolate doughnut and glass of milk before heading back downstairs to my batmosphered bunker.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Wow, Ed, you look awful.
Erin: We'll save you some cake, don't worry.
Storyteller: Goodness, he looks like a ghost...no offense!
Richard: None taken.
(radio starts playing "I'm Looking Through You"

(another explosion out in the courtyard, followed by some shrieking fireworks)

Erin: (shaking head) What can you do? (goes to desk, turns on PA system) If everyone would like to trot around to the first-floor common room in the next little bit, we will have cake, ice cream, sorbet and a chorus of Happy Birthday for our five guests of honor.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: Mee? Meee! *Thanks Eddie graciously*
Bunsen: Sounds like a--like a...
Claudia: A PET! :3 LET HIM FREE!
Beaker: Mee! *Has his first pet ever* *Lets it out*
Claudia: AWWW! What you gonna name the little feller?
Beaker: Meep.
Claudia: Peepers?
Beaker: Mee!
Bunsen: Aw. *Saying little sweet words to the muppetphone*

Peepers: *Bites Honeydew's nose*

Claudia: OH NO!
Beaker: Meep!
Bunsen: I think he likes me!
Claudia: *Carries it and cooes at it* Bunnie did not mean to hurt you. No he did not...aww
Bunsen: What do you mean?

Peepers: *Snuggles up against Claudia*

Bunsen: Why, I never!
Beaker: MEEP!
Bunsen: Hmph.
Claudia: AWWW!

(They go to where Erin and Co. are)

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(party has shifted to common room)

All: (singing) Happy birthday to you...
Don (Sahlin, not Music): These dorms are a zoo...
Storyteller: You look like a Muppet...
All: Happy birthday...to...you...

Jim: Let's now have a toast.
Christine: Just one?
Jim: Well, maybe a little more than that. (clears throat) To Don Music, the owner of the smartest, most imaginative head that ever smashed into a piano.
(applause, and Joe runs his fingers over the keys of a nearby piano)
Jim: To Janice, the Mayhem's own wonder girl, who strums all our strings.
(applause, and many shouts of "Fer sure!")
Jim: To Beaker, who survived stainless steel rabbits, Bunsonium, alarm systems at the Mallory Gallery...(pulls out comprehensive list - which coils all over the floor)...and many other things, and who lived to tell the tale. To Beaker!
(applause, and chorus of "Meep meep!")
Jim: To Alex, the most famous and lovable werewolf since Professor Lupin. And thanks for not biting anyone.
(applause and wolf-howls)
Jim: Finally...(by now, everyone's looking at their watches) To Richard, who joined our madcap little band as a teenager, who created some of our wackiest and most-beloved characters, who captured the hearts of fans all over the world...
Richard: Cut to the chase already, the sorbet's melting.
Jim: To Richard!
(applause, and a few shouts of "Your Face!")

Erin: And now, the cake! (cuts five goodly slices from the main cake, sets them on plates with scoops of sorbet, and hands them around to the birthday boys and girls) Cheers!

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: Did someone say cake? We are so there. *looks over at her roomies* Guys, why don't you leave Mr. Juhl alone, huh?
Boober: Give us a break, Kim!
Tosh: Yeah, we've missed Jerry!
Jerry: Aw, it's okay. They're not hurting anything.
Kim: Well, okay. *shrugs*

-Kim

[heralde]

Jim: Finally...(by now, everyone's looking at their watches) To Richard, who joined our madcap little band as a teenager, who created some of our wackiest and most-beloved characters, who captured the hearts of fans all over the world...
Richard: Cut to the chase already, the sorbet's melting.
Jim: To Richard!
(applause, and a few shouts of "Your Face!")

Aw, very nicely put!

Darn, looks like I missed everything! Is the cake all gone?

[BeakerSqueedom]

[Well typed Erin. <3 I actually could picture it.]

Beaker: Meep! *Toasts to every single person here*

Peepers: *Smiles happily on Beaker's Lap*

Bunsen: *Teary-eyed* Oh..*Takes a handkerchief from his pocket and blows on it* that was so beautifully done, Erin.

Claudia: *Sniffles* I got emotional myself. TOAST!

Bunsen: Oh hello Miss Heralde--I doubt it! We probably are to eat it right now.

Beaker: *Gives his pressies to Richard and to the birthday boys/girls*
Mee. <3

[heralde]

Oh good, yay! And I take back when I said Bunsen about you being crazy!

Yeah I did forget to wish everyone else a Happy Birthday! Birthdays are a nice thing. As Kermit once said, "Life would just pass in a blur if it weren't for times like this." :)

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Aw, very nicely put!

Darn, looks like I missed everything! Is the cake all gone?

No, not yet...but I saved you a slice, heralde...and it's got part of the 'R' on it. (hands heralde a slice of cake and a scoop of sorbet) Nora, you want to run a couple of slices off to Ed and the Count? And hurry, because Richard's going back for seconds.

Nora: Will do! (quickly removes two slices and runs them off to Ed and the Count)
Erin: Good, excellent. (looks at crumbs, which are all that remain of medium cakes) Wow, those didn't suffer.
Jerry: Oh, Boober, how is Mokey doing these days? And Gillis, you sly tunester, you, how goes it with the chorale?

[heralde]

No, not yet...but I saved you a slice, heralde...and it's got part of the 'R' on it. (hands heralde a slice of cake and a scoop of sorbet) Nora, you want to run a couple of slices off to Ed and the Count? And hurry, because Richard's going back for seconds.



Thanks, MN, that's absolutely perfect! Mmm...yummy!

Hehe, so Richard likes going back for seconds too? We have something in common, hehe.

[Skeeter Muppet]

Boober: Mokey's doing fine. Haven't seen her around the dorms in a while, unfortunately.
Kim: Come to think of it, we haven't heard much from Wembley, Gobo or Lou either. Weird.
Gillis: Oh, Jerry, the chorale is doing wonderfully! It's a little different having to commute from here to Fraggle Rock, but so far it's working.
Kim: Y'know, I gotta tell you, rooming with a bunch of Fraggles has been one of the most interesting experiences of my life. Interesting in a good way, guys.

-Kim

[heralde]

Kim: Y'know, I gotta tell you, rooming with a bunch of Fraggles has been one of the most interesting experiences of my life. Interesting in a good way, guys.

-Kim

I bet! I mean, tell the truth, how many lunches a day do they have?

[Skeeter Muppet]

I bet! I mean, tell the truth, how many lunches a day do they have?

Boober: Hey, we're Fraggles, not hobbits!
Kim: Down, Boober. Eh, offhand I'd say one or two. And that's not counting the intermittent snacking. Fortunately I keep the refrigerator stocked with plenty of Doozer sticks.

-Kim

[heralde]

Boober: Hey, we're Fraggles, not hobbits!
Kim: Down, Boober. Eh, offhand I'd say one or two. And that's not counting the intermittent snacking. Fortunately I keep the refrigerator stocked with plenty of Doozer sticks.

-Kim

Lol, you've got me, Boober, that's exactly what I was thinking too. "Second Breakfast" is more of a Hobbit thing. Btw, Boober, you're my favorite Fraggle. ;)

...Don't the Doozer sticks get a bit frozen in the frig? Or are they better that way?

[Skeeter Muppet]

Tosh: They wouldn't get frozen in the fridge, they'd get frozen in the freezer.
Boober: Actually refrigerated Doozer sticks keep better than ones stored at room temperature, I've found. They last longer. Same with ordinary radishes.
Kim: The things you learn when rooming with Fraggles...heh.

-Kim

[heralde]

I see! Ever consider trying...beats? "They're nature's candy don't ya know!"

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Oh, I have at least four lunches a day, five if I need an extra burst of energy for a ten-part epic.
Nora: Beets? Nature's candy? (winces a bit) Never really liked beets, actually.
Erin: But they do stain the dishes a nice magenta color, you have to admit.

clock starts to chime:

Joe: Hey, everyone, we've got to get going, it's getting a tad late...good night, Don, and how about we do a couple duets some time?
Jerry: Good night, Fraggles, and I'll drop in again soon. Tosh, tell your Beast I said hello.
(Don Sahlin departs, but without setting off more firecrackers)
Eren: My, my...we do know how to go over the top when we all get together...
(in another part of the common room)
Richard:...thanks, you too, Beaker...Scooter, old pal, it's great to see you again, tell that old goat you've got for an uncle I said "Your face"...happy birthday, Janice, and can I have a kiss...yes, thank you...Don, my man, don't ever change, okay?
Jim: Excellent party, everyone...and we'll be back on the 24th of next month, hmm? (starts to fly off)
Christine: Richard, are you coming?
Richard: One moment - guys, I had a swell time, thanks a lot. (does one final fly around the room, to thank everyone, and pauses to rub shoulders with the RHLC crew)
Erin: Glad to hear it, Richard, it was the least we could do...does it scare you to know that you would have been 56 this year?
Richard: (wincing slightly) A little. See you again, soon. (flies off)

Nora: Wow...should we clean up?
Erin: No, we'll do it in the morning.

[heralde]

Eh yeah, cleaning up is for the next morning!

Aw, goodnight everyone who's leaving! Glad you liked the party, Richard! Thanks for taking a moment for us. ;)

I think I posted this somewhere else already, but I just adore this clip! Lol Only Richard could do the perfect monster lullaby. :)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Smgsu9Nogvc

[Skeeter Muppet]

Tosh: I will, Jerry! Bye!
(before Richard leaves)
Kim: Glad you could hang with us tonight, Richard. *slips something into his hand* Anytime you want to stop by our room and have a listen to that, feel free. Door's always open.
Richard: Thanks, I will, but I think you'd better hang onto it for me. *hands back a CD of James Taylor's best songs* And don't let Gillis get too high-and-mighty on you.
Gillis: I heard that!
Kim: *grinning* Don't worry. Between me, Tosh, Boober and Betty Lou, we're capable of keeping him in line. (after he leaves) Well, let's head back to the room, guys.
Gillis: Yes, you still need to finish chapter one of your story, don't you? The one you said you were going to post sometime this evening...?
Kim: One, it's still twenty minutes until its tomorrow. And two, what did I say about nagging me?
Roomies: Do it as often as possible.
Kim: *turns and looks at them* ...Richard told you to say that, didn't he?
Boober: Yeah, pretty much.

[The Count]

Downstairs in Room #1, Ed is awakened by soft purring. He thinks it's Fatatatita wanting him to get her some breakfast, but she's still asleep in her own little bed. Then where's...
The outline of a fetching female feline form can be seen, slunk and snoozing in the corner of the couch in the center of the room. Her duffelbag slung over her shoulder accenting her alure, she can be heard humming a few snatches of "Dream a Little Dream of Me" while the tips of her tousled brownish hair swirl in the amiable breeze beneath the oscillating spider fan.
Wanda, as her eyes open slowly but surely: Mmm... Morning already, oh hi Ed, wondered when you'd notice...
OMG! So sooorry Wanda. Did the Count see to you last night? Was a bit busy what with that mammoth project...
Wanda: Yeah, got in OK after Beth left. She spies the slice of birthday cake and is hesitant to ask, belied by a pang in the pit of her stomach and those melting kitty-cat eyes. Um, would you mind...
Of course not. Compliments of Erin, dig in.
Wanda: Thank you messieur.
Picked up a few mannerisms from Piggy?
Wanda: It's hard not to. We live together here at the dorms, at the boarding house, at the theater... Though I like it here with Beth the best.
Yep, she's a great person. Whadda ya say we wait for the Count to get up and have a late breakfast/early lunch at Everybody Eats.
Wanda, purring softly and contentedly this time: I'd say you know how to make a gal feel welcome.
*In Kermit voice: Oh good. Just make yourself comfy and we'll leave in a coupla hours or so.
Wanda devours the piece of cake after it's been offered to her, observing ladylike propriety yet taking a few bites that might belong to her furry blue roommate, as Ed goes off to wash up and get ready for the coming day.

[BeakerSqueedom]

(Night before Richard left)

Beaker: *Sniffles* Mee!

Claudia: Wow, in his 50's right now...bye Mr. Hunt...

Beaker: *Hugs Richard lovingly*

Bunsen: *Looking sincere*

Peepers: *Silent and not biting Bunsen's nose for once*

Beaker: Byebye! *Sniffles*

----

(Today)

Beaker: Meep *Carrying a picture of Richard reverently in his hands*

Claudia: Hey buddy...

Peepers: *Snuggles on his side*

Bunsen: Hello there..

Beaker: Mee.

Claudia: *Huggles him tightly*

....

Peepers: UMF! *Bites Bunsen's nose*

Bunsen: OH DEAR! GET HIM OFF! GET HIM OFF!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(night before, back in room 7)

(Nora and Storyteller have since turned in; Erin is up having her usual mug of chamomile tea)

(voice at window): Can't sleep, Erin?
Erin: What? (turns) Oh, hi, Richard. (laughs softly) I'm wired - and chamomile's the only thing that'll get me to sleep most of the time.
Richard: Yeah, warm milk and counting sheep are overrated. No offense to the sheep. (floats in) I just wanted to stop and say thanks again; the cake was delicious.
Erin: Thanks - I've never made it before. And I hope you weren't too upset when I said you would have been 56?
Richard: (leans in, gives her a hug) No, no...heck, look at Jim, he'd have been 71! I'm just a kid compared to him! (pause) I also saw the rest of the AIDS quilt block...it looks great.
Erin: (returning hug) Thanks...it looked pretty good in the photo. (explosion outside) Sounds like Don's still on the loose.
Richard: Yeah, I'd better go rein him in. Good night, and enjoy your tea. (flies off)

(next morning)

Nora: (yawn) Is it just me, or did we have a ghost in the kitchen last night?
Erin: Yeah, Richard stopped in for a chat.
Nora: Nice...and I thought I heard fireworks going off?
Erin: Oh, please, it was just a hug...(Nora starts giggling uncontrollably)...oh, wait, you mean Don. Yeah, he was still at large.
Storyteller: Ah, well, what can you do...so, we need to go downstairs and help clean up...but we'll eat first, of course.

[ZootyCutie]

Okay, let's go over what were doing today.

Janice: Like, we're going to Hairspray again, right?

Yep, for the third time.

Dr. Teeth: We're probably going to play video games for a litte while, huh?

Yeah.

Lips: But, we can't forget the most important part today.

Right.

All: High School Musical 2!

That's a biggie. I guess we just do our own thing until it's time for the fun.

[Gloat]

*all sitting at dinner table*

Adam: This is the first time we've used this properly, up till now you've only eaten takeaways

Gloat: Its because we don't like your food

Adam: Yes, well.... eat it before i make you

*all eating quietly*

Adam: Did you both enjoy last night?

Boppity and Gloat: Yes

Adam: Good, hope you didn't get into any trouble

Boppity and Gloat: No

Adam: *stares* I don't believe you

Boppity: We were good, now if you'll excuse us, we're off to some dark alleyways *get up and leave*

Adam: ...

[BEAR]

Bry: Good afternoon, everybody. Someone must have slept in a little late today.
Cookie: Me tired from big party last night.
Bry: I'm sorry I wasn't here when you arrived last night. I had a performance.
Cookie: It okay. Show must go on, as they say.
Bry: Did you sleep well.
Cookie: Yeah.
Bry: Good! (pats CM on the head) I don't have to work today. Hoots told me he'd look after the store this afternoon. So what do you guys want to do?
Ernie: We can play ball.
Cookie: Have lunch.
Big Bird: We can go bird watching.
Bert: For pigeons?
Telly: We can go to the pool.
Ernie: Oooh! Swimming sounds fun!
Bert: Yeah, it is hot today. Hotter than yesterday.
Bry: What do you say, Big Bird?
Big Bird: Sure! I can dip my feet for a while.
Bry: Let's go down to the pool then!
Cookie: Then can we have lunch?
Bry: We'll bring lunch down there. How's that?
Cookie: Like picnic?
Bry: Yeah...like a pool picnic. And I'll even pack extra cookies!
Cookie: You speak my language.
Bry: Haha! I'll pack up some sandwiches and snacks.
Ernie: I'll get the soda pop!
Bry: Thanks, Ernie.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:

(Claudia stumbles a bit as she walks through the door with a pale complexion nearing an unattractive washed-up blue color. Her hair is faded and her clothes, despite it's brilliant color, contrasts her sickly appearance greatly.)

Peepers:

(The little brown ball of fur shakes as he sets eyes on her image. He quickly rushes beneath Beaker's bed to hide.)

Claudia:

Do not be scared Peepers! I just don't feel well today--I thought nobody would notice until some student told me. I have not slept correctly for days but I just feel stressed. Everyone does [I]sometimes but I try my best to be as optimistic as possible! I won't let this strange occurence get to me. I have good grades, changing colleges, and a great future. I have even recieved a commendation today through my teacher. I won't let this little physical illness get to me.

I just need to sleep better and just relax and take it slow. I am happy though...very. All this studying will pay off even though I sometimes feel like hanging out with friends. I lost one of my best friends also over studying and grades...I guess I am sort of by myself again--oh yah...he was my only friend. He said I was an idiot for preferring my school work over his birthday and so he broke it off with me. Me, myself and I...but just you wait...this will all pay off when I get successful! Though sometimes I just wish to go to the mall instead of being enclosed in my room...or doing what many others can do. I know every single person that have made something out of themselves has experienced this a couple of times.

I guess I should not bother to be self pitying. I must continue and the show must go on. This will pass and I will be knowledgeable--that's all I really want...to be intelligent and prudent in this life. I don't mind these small losses...because I can make bigger wins...my goal is all that matters at this point.

(Smiles wryly but collects her dignity before sitting on her bed)

Sorry, I am just....I really do feel worn-out today. I-I-I just..I am just being silly...I-I...

(Sniffles)

I suppose even Chaplin had his days...or many famous figures had them...I hope to become like those people.

Peepers:

(Hops next to her and snuggles beside her.)

Claudia:

(Sleeps on the bed with Peepers laying against her stomach.)

---

(An hour later)

Bunsen:

What is she doing sleeping so early?

Beaker:

MEEP! (Covers her up with a blanket)

Bunsen:

You're right, she does look pale...(Frowns looking to Beaker helplessly)

Beaker and Bunsen:

(Appear worried)

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *sitting in hallway, back against the wall*
Floyd: Hey man! How goes it? Whoa! What's with the new threads?
Alex: Floyd, I think you're beginning to rub off on me. Either that or it's just my hippie hometown roots leaking out of me. *begins braiding what hair is just long enough to be braided*
Floyd: That's real groovy. If you need help with anything, you know where to find me.
Alex: Actually, I don't...
Floyd: Well, whaddaya mean you don't? I mean, naturally I'll be with my main squeeze!
Alex: Oh. Right. *hears loud noises coming from bedroom* What's that?
Floyd: Oh, that's just Animal. He's bringing his drums out on the roof.
Alex: On the roof?
Floyd: Yeah. Said he had to.
Alex: Oh. Keep an eye on him for me, will ya?
Floyd: Oh, don't worry bout it! The spirits will protect him while he's up there.
Alex: *looks up* Please keep an eye out for him, Richard and Jim...... *finishes braiding her hair and begins sticking flowers in it*

[Erine81981]

Grover: Do we have everything for the party?

Herry: I think we do.

Oh by the way. My neices are coming over for the tonight and staying the night.

Murray: They are? This is going to be fun! *jumps up and down*

There's a knock at the door

Maurice: It's the neices.

Lyndi: Hey guys.

Everyone: Hi Lyndi.

Grover: And it is also Heartly. You cute little thing.

Heartly: *gives Grover a hug*

Murray: Isn't she so cute.

I'm going to call in the food. Get everyone settled.

Murray: Coming up Kyle.

Murray shows the girls to the couch and turns the tv to the Disney Channel

Bonnie: This is going to be fun.

Murray: You just took the words out of mouth.

Bonnie: How did do that?

Herry: Don't worry bout that. Is everyone excited for "High School Musical 2?"

Lyndi: I know i can't wait.

Herry: Me too.

Grover: I will be right back. I just got a phone call from my job a the "What a Chicken" resturant.

Ok Grover. We will wait for you till you get back.

Grover: Do not worry. I will be back safe and sound. *leaves out for his job*

Oh i am so excited!

Heartly: Why?

Beauce you are here.

Heartly: Really?

Yep. *picks her up* I'm just glad to see ya'll here.

Heartly: I am happy too.

[anytimepally]

Johnny: Sal, get the lights, he's coming down the hall!
Sal: Right, Johnny!
Don: I'm so excited! He was gone for too long.. and just imagine how excited he'll be to see me!
Johnny: Quiet guys!

just as the door opens, all three jump up and yell SURPRISE! but, in the darkness, Randall trips over a chair and drops the cake he was carrying on Don Music's head

Sal: (mumbling) That wasn't much of a welcome home...
Randall: Thanks guys.. it's good to be back.
Johnny: (turning the lights back on) You okay there, Don?
Don: I'm not just O.K., I'm delicious!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: (writing a letter to Beige Fraggle) "...life continues apace here, in ways that would make your Cave's Oldest Fraggle keel over from shock on the spot..." (pauses, looks up) You're looking tense, Erin.
Erin: (looking through cabinets for teapot and kettle) Yeah, I've got a wicked kink in my neck and left shoulder.
Nora: You must be joking; all we did was remove two bags of trash from the common room and patio.
Erin: True, true, but I went out to run errands after we finished up, and...well, with one thing and another, I'm all seized up. (heats kettle of water, goes looking for tea)
Storyteller: Mm, yes...what are you brewing in there?
Erin: Tea, Earl Grey, hot.
Nora: Are you a Star Trek fan or something?
Erin: No, I'm just fond of Earl Grey.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: We have our new gear for this semester coming in the fall

ZOE: We're all set

BABY BEAR: So Why don't we watch High School Musical 2

LITTLE BIRD: Okay!

[Erine81981]

Alright guys its coming on.

Lyndi: I wished it hadn't rained us out of the movie.

Grover: I know. We were getting into it and it messed up.

Herry: It happens alot around here. We have Dish Network and if it's storming outside it messes up.

Maurice & Bonnie: Shhhhhhh....

Murray: It's coming on.

Oscar: *pops up*

Murray: Why are you here Oscar?

Oscar: I don't want to miss my favorite character. Sharpaee. She's a grouchy one.

The lights go out and we all start watching the movie

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Quaquaquaqua...
Bry: Zzzzzzzz...

Ernie: Three sheep...
Sheep: Baaa!
Bert: *sigh*!

[The Count]

*Awake and washing up, then dressing quietly, then leaves for an early class at the campus. Hope Count and Wanda don't mind my absence.

[Gloat]

*watching 'Jeepers Creepers'*

Adam: This film isn't scary, and plus, it's daytime, we shouldn't be watching it now

Boppity: You're right, and it's not what i expected

Gloat: Not our type of horror

Adam: *Takes the video out* So what you wanna watch?

Boppity and Gloat: Muppets!

Adam: Again?

Boppity and Gloat: Yeh!

Adam: ... Fine *puts it on* But i'm going out, see ya later *walks out the door*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:

Are you alright?


Claudia:

Of course, Bunnie!

Bunsen:

(Gets his health scanner)

Claudia:

EEEE! TAKE THAT AWAY! I HATE IT!

(Bats at it with her hands)


Bunsen:

(Trying to find the button to turn it on)

Why?

Claudia:

For some weird reason I feel naked with that scanner!

Bunsen:

Strictly professional, besides this only gives me a list of what you need. It does not reveal anything unwanted--simply a list.

Claudia:

I still feel naked with that thing.


Bunsen:

Too bad.

(He chuckles lightly before getting a list)

Mental Health

Stress 99%
Anger 0%
Insanity 50%
Depression 0%
Happiness 100%
Tiredness 89%
I AM A MICHAEL JACKSON FAN OMG 3000% (Off the charts)

Wtfudge?


Claudia:

(Smiles cheesily)

Bunsen:

(Shakes head)

You are a very strange person.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *adorned in hippie-style attire* Floyd, is Animal still on the roof?
Floyd: Sure is, man!
Alex: Why? He hasn't done anything but sit up there.
Floyd: Just wait.... when the sun comes up.....
*the sun suddenly pops up in the sky*
Animal: *on roof* YEAHHHHHH! *begins playing drums like crazy*
Alex: And he's doing this because......
Floyd: Well, I really don't know. But he did mention the fact that school starts on Monday, and you have to be there by 8:30. We all know how much you like your sleep....
Alex: No I don't!
Floyd: Riiiight....

[Erine81981]

*getting ready to cook some Spaghetti for the girls and monsters of the room*

Bonnie: I love this movie.

Grover: So do i.

Heartly: *lying down watching the movie*

Herry: What is this again?

Bonnie: "Scooby Doo 2."

Herry: Oh yea. I remember this movie. Good one. *goes into the kitchen* What you making?

Spaghetti.

Herry: Oh boy. My favorite.

[Gloat]

Boppity: Where do you think Adam's gone?

Gloat: Dunno, maybe he went to get some food, i hope he does, i'm starving!

Boppity: I don't think he did, he's probably gone to get another movie

Gloat: Without us? but he'll pick a bad one

Boppity: We should go after him, make sure he picks one we all like, well... that we like

*both get up and walk out, locking door*

Gloat: Which ways the video store?

Boppity: Wanna check the roof?

Gloat: Sure

*head upstairs*

[BEAR]

Bry: Hey, Kyle! Couldn't help but notice you're making spaghetti. Smells good! Be careful or you might see a snuffle through your window sniffing that out!

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Marty: Well I finished off Father Marty's Muppet Ministry.
Bill: Already? How long is it?
Marty: 6 chapters Bill.
Bill: Only 6? That's not very much to it.
Marty: True. But you see, I had the idea to make it the first in a series of very short fan-fics. It'll be the first spin off series from T*K*O only it'll be in fan fic writing form as opposed to the television script-like style.
Bill: That sounds great Marty. When's the next one?
Marty: Soon Bill. I have just commenced my sequel to last year's epic I wrote featuring Kendra, Snowthy and myself as the Three Detectives. I'll be working on that for awhile but I'll try to put out more Father Marty while I'm at it.
Bill: Is this the sequel where I get framed for robbery and the Three Detectives have to clear my name?
Marty: That's the one Bill.
Bill: Wow. I hope I have a happy ending.
Marty: Don't worry Bill. You will.

[Erine81981]

Bry: Hey, Kyle! Couldn't help but notice you're making spaghetti. Smells good! Be careful or you might see a snuffle through your window sniffing that out!
*laughs* If he wants some tell him to come right in. I always make enough for leftovers.

Herry: I've always loved your spaghetti Kyle.

Lyndi: I know i do.

Heartly: Its good.

Oscar: *pops up* Are those three still here?

Lyndi: And what's it do you?

Oscar: Ahhh i like your style.

Here Oscar. I made you some spaghetti but with oil syrup and olives.

Oscar: *grabs the bowl and leaves*

I knew that would make him scram. He loves how i make his. *eatting some* This is good. I didn't know i was that good of a cook.

Murray: I too love your spaghetti. *eats some more*

Grover: Me too. But i have to go. I'm working over at Charlie's this afternoon. He said i will get some a raise sometime today. I can not wait to tell my mommy. See you 'round. *leaves out the door*

See yea Grover. What are we going to do today?

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *blinks at Clifford who's sprawled out on his bed* What's up with you?
Clifford: Nothin', nothin' at all is up, I'm all down.
Ryan: Heh, what's wrong?
Clifford: Red. She's totally worn me out, dude.
Ryan: Ah ha. Where is she now?
Clifford: Out with Gonzo somewhere. I swear, between the two of them they'd have enough energy to light up the state of Kansas.
Ryan: Well, you get some rest, I'll try and keep them out all day, and we'll just put in a movie tonight.
Clifford: Good luck with that, dude.

[The Count]

The occupants of Room #1, along with their catty guest for the weekend are upstairs enjoying the light rain seated in some of the comfy chairs of the deck/gazebo. The falling droplets and breezing wind creates a delicious almost autumnlike climate. Three cups of pumpkin soup, three plates with Monte Cristo egg, ham, and mozzarella cheese sandwiches, and fanfic books in their laps... All are peacefully in some state of either half-napping or half-relaxing as the weather is very much to their liking from within the shelter of the wooden pavillion in the dorm's garden/patio area.

[The Count]

The Count and Wanda have gone to Rainbow Connections Moviehouse, hoping to run into Sara or Scooter there... In the meantime, Ed puts his headphones on and tunes in to the MC Radio station while continuing work on the massive Muppet list. Fatatatita, opting to stay indoors appeased by the coolness of the windswept rainstorm, curls up beneath Ed's computer desk playfully batting at his rubber slippers when he's not noticing her there. Secretly, he hopes that certain fanfic authors will come in during the wee hours of the night and post some updates, one ushgusher in particular...

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:

Eddie has been quiet...

Bunsen:

You're just paranoid, as usual. The last time you said something similar Beakie and I merely gave you stares that accuratley expressed our utter embarrassment. I don't even think that homeless person has forgiven you for-

Claudia:

It was my first time seeing a homeless person. You know how overprotected I am of these things! I wanted to just observe him for awhile besides he was talking to a Dunkin' Doughnuts cup and well I wanted to-

Bunsen:

Were it not for Beaker, you'd be locked in the local garbage can smelling the common waste that people throw in before any of us would find you. The thought makes me laugh...you'd be squealing in disgust and start to take your anger out on the nearest innocent bystander.*Sees her frown* The look on your face tells me I should stop.

Claudia:

It did not take extensive research to figure that out.

Bunsen:

You are school smart but not street smart that was the point I was trying to make. Now, returning to our previous topic, Edward is at the Moviehouse where he is probably enjoying himself with some of his dear friends.

Claudia:

Bunnie...I-I-I XD I AM NOT STREET SMART? HOW IN THE WORLD CAN YOU SAY THAT?

*Tries to look ghetto and totally up-to-date*

Bunsen:

Most of the students have told you that, not only Bunnie and please refrain from doing that posture! It makes you look very silly!

Claudia:
It's the suit I always wear to class isn't it?

Bunsen:

Most silliest thing I've ever heard since the first time I heard Beaker's way of communicating.

Beaker:

*GASP*

Bunsen:

Forget what I said Beakie! *Tries to console him*

Beaker:

MEEPMEEEPMEEEP! MEE?

Bunsen:

Well it is strange you must admit--wait! wait! come back!

Claudia:

*Giggles at their bickering* You two make a great couple.

[The Count]

Count, coming in through the door singing happily: Let a frown be your umbrella... On a rainy, rainy day...
Actually Claudia, Edvard stayed in his room tonight.
Wanda: Should we do something for him Count?
Count: No, he's gotten it in his mind he's got to finish this for once...
Wanda: Mmm... Well I'm sure he's OK Claudia. Just send the drawing when it's ready, I'm sure he'll like it. The one of the alley cat was most superb, though Beth hasn't seen it yet.
*Giggles a little thinking of what Beth's reaction will be.

*Downstairs, still listening to MC Radio, oblivious to what's going on around him while getting the master list half done.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:

Oops! I forgot about that drawing. *Sheepish*

Bunsen:

Oh, how great to know you liked her drawing! I am sure she will have the next one for you by tommorow, correct? *Looks to Claudia pressingly*

Claudia:

*Blushes a bit*
I can't believe I forgot.

Beaker:

*Shakes head*

[The Count]

Hello from the dorms management team.

Tired as I am from working all through the night on the list... We'd like to take this time to wish one of our long-standing and regular residents a joyous birthday. The guy with his furry friends... One of the MP3 masters... None other than our very own Kyle (Erine81981)
If you want to leave a card or a gift or help with the party planning, please talk to Grover or Herry in Room #26. Again, have a great day buddy.

[Gloat]

*Boppity and Gloat are in the common room*

Boppity: You hungry?

Gloat: Yeh, got any food?

Boppity: Well Adam hasn't come back, so no

Gloat: Aww, any money

Boppity: 27 euros

Gloat: Euros? *grabs them and eats them* Useless, and they don't taste good either

Boppity: You could have left some for me

Gloat: Sorry

[Erine81981]

Grover: Do not forget today is Kyle's birthday.

Herry: Don't worry Grover. I have everything planed.

Maurice: We all do.

Murray: *running in* I got the stremmers!

Grover: Shhhhh Murray. We have to keep this a secret. Kyle does not know we are planning a party for him.

Murray: Surprise Party.

Grover: Yes. So let us all go to the store and get the stuff ready.

Herry: Me and Maurice will heads up with the Chef and get him to make a cake.

Maurice: I just hope that the Chef doesn't make an exploding cake.

Grover: Good idea. Come on Murray.

Murray: Coming. Oh boy. Surprise Party.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:

My Kyle is all grown up! *Grabs a tissue and blows in it*

Bunsen:

He already was, dear.

Claudia:

Bunsen:

Come along...we have a party to prepare!

Beaker:

Claudia:

[Erine81981]

Herry: Hey Claudia. Bunsan and Beaker. Hows things going with the decorations?

Maurice: Hey Lisa. Is the Chef around? He is. Good. I need him to make a cake for Kyle's birthday. Just ask Sweetums to help out with bring it down. I know me and Herry wouldn't be able to. Thanks again. See you at the party guys and Lisa. *runs off*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: *Struggling with her bag of decos* Great! *Straining*

Bunsen: Nearly there Claudia! Keep pulling! To the patio we go!

Beaker: Meemeee.

Claudia: Gee, thanks for helping Bunnie! Who do I look like, Santa Clause? Give me a hand will you?

Bunsen: You're already here.

Claudia: *Frowns* You're right...well time to decorate the gazebo!

Beaker: Meep! *Starts the hanging of ribbons*

Bunsen: *Programs his machine to shoot out excessive bubbles*

Beaker: *Hit by the bubbles and begins coughing* MEEKEEMEEEKEEKEH!

Claudia: OH NO HE IS FLYING AWAY! D: *Grabs his leg*

Beaker: *On a bed of bubbles* MEEMEEEMEEE!

Claudia: BUNSEN TURN IT OFF!

Bunsen: Hmm?

Claudia: TURN IT OFF!

Bunsen: *Sees Beaker being held down by her* Opps! *Turns off the machine*

Beaker: *Splat!*

[Erine81981]

Grover: Glad to see everyone helping out.

Herry: I'm just glad that everything is going ok.

Murray: Not to ok. Beaker was just about to be flown off on a bed of bubbles.

Maurice: But it looked to be fun.

Grover: Maybe Bunsan needs to work on it more.

Murray: It's ok. He turned it off.

Herry: Oh yeah. Bubble machine. *runs off to the patio*

Oscar: *pops up* Hey there fuzzy and blues.

Murray: And red.

Oscar: :rolleyes: I see everyone working hard on Kyle's surprise party.

Grover: It will be great Oscar. Are you coming?

Oscar: I wouldn't miss it for the world. I know something will go wrong. *laughs*

Grover: Oh grouchy. *slaps Oscar on the back*

Oscar: *cough* Hey! No touching the grouch. *leaves*

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *dreamily making card*
Pepe: Hola seniorita! Everything is hokay? Jou are looking a little strange hokay.

Pepe: Si! I know this, hokay! What are jou making? *peers over her shoulder*

Alex: There! I just put the finishing touches on Kyles present!
Floyd: Sweet! Uh, what is it?
Pepe: Oh! Let me see let me see!
Alex: Ok, ta-da! *shows off blue and green knitted blanket*
Pepe: Oohhhhhh.....
Animal: *tries to grab blanket*
Alex: *pulls blanket away* NO! This is not yours Animal.
Animal: SAH-REE.
Alex: Ok boys! Grab your cards and lets go give Kyle his present!

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *toddles in with a birthday present for Kyle*
Red: Hey, Ryan! What's with the box?
Ryan: It's a birthday present for Kyle.
Red: Oh, how cool! ...What is it?
Ryan: I'm glad you asked Red. Because if I tell you now, I won't have to explain it again later.
Red: Huh?
Ryan: Exactly! It's a free coupon to any of my MP3s that Kyle wants.
Red: What are MP3s?
Ryan: Music you can play on the computer.
Clifford: Didn't Kyle have access to all of your MP3s anytime he wanted anyway?
Ryan: ...Well... yes, but now he has a coupon that says so.
Clifford: Good grief...

[Erine81981]

Grover: This is going to be one cute little birthday party. Kyle is going to love this.

Herry: He'll love every bit of it. Hey Ryan. Just put it right over there with the rest of the presents.

Murray: Have we got Kyle anything?

Grover: WHAT? You forgot about the present?

Murray: I didn't know that. Hmmmmm what about a squid?

Herry: A squid?

Grover: Mur-ray.

Murray: Or maybe a dog?

Maurice: He already has one.

Murray: Oh yea. Hmmmm what about a newspaper?

Herry: Newspaper? What would he do with that?

Murray: Read it?

Grover, Herry and Maurice: Mur-ray!

Murray: Don't worry. I have the best one yet. Be back in a few. *shoots off*

Grover: Please tell me that he is going to get the present we picked out.

Herry: We won't know till he gets back.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *knocks on Kyles door*
Floyd: Where's the present?
Alex: Oh, I decided I'll give it to him in person. He's not here right now.
Floyd: Then what are we doin here?
Alex: I thought I'd see if the guys needed any help.
Floyd Pepe and Animal: *groan*
Alex: Hey! I won't be having any attitude from you three tonight! This is Kyle's party and we wanna make it really special for him!
*all three*: Yes Alex.....

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Done!

Bunsen: Fixed.

Beaker: Meep!

Bunsen: I got his gifts! Now where is the cake?

Claudia: Not sure....

[The Count]

Well... Hope Kyle likes the present we sent him... A wall-sized animation poster of Super Grover,the fuzzy and blue superhero soaring above the Sesame Street landscape, the faces of some of his furry friends watching from below. Other dwellers of the famed street are attempting to catch a glimpse of this urban legend in his own mind... But the monsters of Sesame Street, his biggest fans, are the ones shown prominently in the prime rooftop or upper floored locations scattered throughout the tableau.
Wanda: So who did the artwork?
Let's just say a mutual friend of ours and leave it at that.
Wanda: Oh... OK.
She flicks a curl of hair out of her line of sight, while adjusting the bow around Fatatatita's neck.
Wanda: So are you going to attend this get-together?
No, I'm tired from the headaches and will probably sleep early tonight. Besides, errands abound as I make my fleeting try to get caught up on everything.
Wanda: That's understandable. By the way...
The fabulous feline walks over to Ed and gives him a much needed hug.
Wanda: Thanks for letting me room here with you boys this weekend.
You're most welcome, and I hope Beth has lots of stories to tell and post upon her return.

[Erine81981]

Maurice: *glances out window in room 26 and sees Kyle* He's here! *runs out on the back patio* Kyle's here!

Herry: Nows the time to hide. It's time!

Grover: Hey everybodieeee!

Herry: Grover!

Grover: Sorry. I had to let everyone know.

Herry: Oh yea.

Grover: *nods at Herry*

Herry: (whispers) Oh yea!

Murray: HIDE!

[BEAR]

Bry: (sleeping) Zzzzzzzzz...
Cookie: (gently creeps up to my bed and tries to wake me whispering) Bryan? Bryan?
Bry: (waking up) Wha...? Huh? (rubs eyes) Cookie Monster? What are you doing up?
Cookie: Me no can sleep.
Bry: Why not?
Cookie: Today was Kyle's birthday.
Bry: Oh that's right. I've been out and busy today I totally forgot. I should go out and get him something tomorrow. How was the party though?
Cookie: Me did not go.
Bry: Why not?
Cookie: Well, me made Kyle a present...
Bry: Yeah?
Cookie: But me ate it.
Bry: Oh dear.
Cookie: And me got so sad, me didn't know what to do. You think Kyle will be mad?
Bry: I'm sure he's not. He loves you.
Cookie: And he one of me best buddies too.
Bry: I'll tell ya what...in the morning, we will get up and get Kyle's present and send it to him. How's that?
Cookie: Okay. Thank you, Bryan.
Bry: You're welcome.
Cookie: And Bryan?
Bry: Yes?
Cookie: (sweetly) You one of me best buddies too.
Bry: Thank you, Cookie Monster. (rubs the top of his head)

[BeakerSqueedom]

(Yesterday)

Claudia: :3 SURPRISE!

Bunsen: *Gives him a floating hover car as a gift* :3 Warning, it wastes gas fast.

Beaker: *Gives him a drawing of Kyle holding a large smile*

Claudia: *Throws herself to give him a big hug* HAPPY BITHDEEE!

Bunsen: Frappes anyone?

----

(Today)

Claudia: Eddie's been having headaches..I KNEW IT! I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHIN' A MATTER WITH HIM!

Bunsen: Not again.

Claudia: IT'S TRUE! Now, all SUPER BEAKER has to do is give him a get well card!

Beaker: Mee? *Looks to uniform*

Claudia: YES!

Beaker: *Puts it on and does a card*

Bunsen: It's just a headache...

Claudia: D: I dun like my Eddie to have those nasty headaches!

Bunsen: Who are you, mother goose?

Claudia: Very funny though I do not see how that fits with me...

[The Count]

Hello again from the dorms management team.

Last night we had a party for Kyle... Today, it's the birthday of that funny furry furball... A barrel of bareable bravado with his gentle-natured disposition... Fozzieeee Beeear!
If you have a card or gift, I suggest you leave it for Fozzie with Catherine at Room #20, though I haven't seen any of them in ages here. You might want to call ahead to let them know, to see if they'll want the usual birthday party treatment. Would be a shame to go to the trouble of having a party and the guest of honor failing to show.
At any rate... Happy birthday Fozzie and yuk it up.

[Gloat]

Boppity: 2 more gifts? How much people live here

Adam: Now come on, be nice

Boppity: Alright *throws in money*

Adam: We got 120, another 50 each and a kiss from each of you

Boppity: What?

Adam: Hm, you're right, more of a punishment, ok, 50 each and cookies

[BEAR]

Bry: Come on, Cookie! We're going out to get Kyle's gift.
Cookie: Yeah yeah!
Bry: Looks like we'll need to pick up another while we're at it for Fozzie.
Ernie: I know a great joke shop on the corner.
Bry: Cool! Let's go. Not sure when Beth gets back, Cookie, but you can just stay with us until we see her.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:

I want to watch the Discovery Channel!

Claudia:

You've hogged it the whole time while I was studying my butt off!

Bunsen:

Yes, but I have rarely been able to get to the television because I've been going crackers for a code I've been trying to crack!

Claudia:

Think I have not been doing the same thing?

Bunsen:

Doubtful, all you worry about is school work. I worry about important things!

Claudia:

Someone finally breaks out of the Mr. Rogers personality!

Bunsen:

*GASP* Oh?

Claudia:

OH!

Beaker:

O_O MEEPEMEEP!

*Claudia and Bunsen struggle for the remote*

Beaker: ...Meee...*Grabs the remote and changes it to Starz*

Bunsen: Back to the Future is on?

Claudia: I LOVE THAT MOVIE!

*They all giggle*

*Bunsen, Beaker, and Claudia sit on the sofa to watch the movie*

[Wanted to make this a little pointless.] XD

[Erine81981]

Ok i'm back guys. I just got back from the joke store.

Herry: What for?

Didn't hear?

Herry: No?

It's Fozzie's birthday.

Murray: It is? Wow! The great comdien himself. I have lots of his old jokes in a book that i found in my parents attic. He's a really funny bear.

Good to hear that. Let's all take this over to Kevin and Fozzie's room.

Herry: I'll be there. Let me get my drum.

Ok.

Murray: I'm going to take my......oh no.

What?

Murray: I don't have anything to play with. *starts sobbing*

Herry: Don't worry Murray. I'll let you bang my other drum.

Murray: For real? You will let me do that?

Herry: That's what friends are for.

Murray: Thank you Herry.

Herry: Your welcome Murray. *grabs both drums*

Me, Murray and Herry head over to Kevin's room to give Fozzie his birthday present

[The Count]

Uh Kyle... You're going to be searching for a long time... Kevin no longer lives here at the dorms. Fozzie Bear is now rooming with Catherine in Room #20, he's done so since May of 2006 when first she moved in. Hope that's OK pal.
*Drops off a box of honey baclava squares and cylinders, along with a card signed by The Count, Ed, and paw-stamped by Fatatatita and claw-scratched by Batty.

*Drops off another card at Room #3 thanking Beth for letting Wanda room with us.
*Drops off one last card with a pink bow and a bouquet of flowers at Room #6 in hopes of cheering Kathy out of her current fffftunk.

[Erine81981]

Oh yea. I toadlly forgot Ed. Thanks for that reminder. Ok monsters. To Catherine's room. My mix up since when i remember back in the day that Kevin had moved in.

Murray: Who's this Kevin guy?

Herry: One of our monators guys. He does lots for this dorms too.

Murray: Hmmm guess i haven't meet him. Oh well to Catherine's room!

We all head over to Catherine's room

[BEAR]

Bry: Ernie, I thought you said the joke store was on the corner.
Ernie: I didn't say which corner.
Bry: There's the problem. We spent all day looking for this place!
Ernie: Sorry.
Big Bird: Well, look at the bright side. Atleast we got birthday gifts for Fozzie Bear and Kyle.
Cookie: (chomping on something) This chicken taste like rubber.
Bert: That's because it's a rubber chicken.
Cookie: Oh.
Bry: Cookie, don't eat that! (takes it away) It's for Fozzie.
Cookie: Oopsy.
Bry: That's okay. We can wash the slobber off. Telly, do you have Kyle's present?
Telly: Right here! (holding a big box) What is it, anyway?
Bry: It's an external hard drive for his computer. It's meant to store all those great MP3's he has. And boy, does he have a lot! Cookie, you had a special present you wanted to give Kyle, huh?
Cookie: Yeah! Me got it here. (holds up a black bowler hat with a big furry blue letter M on the front)
Bry: What is that?
Cookie: This hat for Kyle. We make him honorary member of Muppet Monsters of America.
Telly: The Sesame Street chapter! Hehe!
Bry: How fitting. I'm sure he'll love it!
Big Bird: I've got the cards I drew!
Bry: Very nice, Big Bird. Let's deliver this stuff!

(The whole gang delivers the external hard drive and hat to Kyle, and the rubber chicken and musical socks to Fozzie.)

[Erine81981]

Lookie at what i got from Bryan. An external hard drive for my computer for all the mp3 songs that i have.

Murray: What's an exiteral hard drive?

It's something for computer. It would hard to explain. Just something for a computer. And it's not exiteral it's external.

Murray: Oh i see.

Herry: I see you finally got the hat with the letter "M" on it. That is so cool.

I know. Cookie Monster gave it to me. He said that you the monsters of Sesame Street made me honorary member of Muppet Monsters of America.

Herry: Yep. Cookie asked me, Murray, Grover, Maurice, Zoe, Elmo and Telly and other monsters too to make you that.

Thanks so very much Herry and Murray. I'll have to thank all the other monsters too. Well since it's late i'm going to hit the hay.

Murray: Hit the hay? Why would you do that? Did it do something to you?

No Murray. It's a saying meaning "going to sleep."

Murray: Like i'm pooped.

Yep. Just like that. Good night monsters.

Murray: Good night Kyle.

Herry: Good night.

As the camera pulls out the window of the hallway we hear a cute furry voice say, "Muppet Dorms has been brought to you by the letter "M" and by the number "16." Muppet Dorms is a production of the Muppet Central Forms. Good night all you sweet cute little people.

[Gloat]

*watching '******* The Movie'*

Adam: Wow, never thought it would be so funny!

Gloat: *laughing* I love watching them hurt themselves

Boppity: There should be a second movie

Adam: I thought there was

Boppity: Well what are you waiting for, we need it!

Adam: Alright fine *gets up and walks out to buy it*

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Hey, I'm back!
Wanda: Hi! How was your weekend?
Beth: Good! How was yours?
Wanda: Very nice, I enjoyed my stay with Ed, The Count and of course Fatatita. She's a sweet little cat.
Beth: I'm glad. So where are the others?
Wanda: Cookie is still with Bryan and I haven't seen Red for a couple of days.
Beth: Well, I'm sure they'll be back soon. Man, I have so much laundry to do!
Wanda: I can help if you'd like
Beth: That would be great, thanks.

[BeakerSqueedom]

[JACK--- IS A NASTY MOVIE! XD EWW! LOL! It is amazing how they could go so far as to do those things! XD]

Bunsen:

Feeling artistic?

Claudia:

Yah, I always did. Just that time is being cruel to me! *Laugh*

Bunsen:

Well, I'd make time stop but with Edward's rewinding it damaged my inventions in the process. More or so the gender switch machine--it could have been useful for the FBI, you know? They could have used that as an advantage to succeed over--

Claudia:

Nah thanks.

Bunsen:

Was only a suggestion.

Claudia:

Sweet of yah.

Bunsen:

Aw, shucks. Get to that drawing will you? You promised Edward the drawing.

Claudia:

:3 *Hugging Beaker* Ok ok ok!

Beaker:

*Hears Adam's t.v play* MEEEP!

Claudia:

Oh no, that movie was just terrifyingly daring! I don't think even Gonzo would do those things!

Bunsen:

You'd be surprised.

[Katzi428]

*Drops off one last card with a pink bow and a bouquet of flowers at Room #6 in hopes of cheering Kathy out of her current fffftunk.
Prairie:Hey Kath! Look what Ed dropped off for you!handing me the flowers
Awwww...that was sweet of him.:) sniffing the flowers They smell nice.
Rosita: You think you'll feel better now?
Yeah...I'll be all right.putting water in a vase & then putting the flowers in the vaseI'll thank him later.
Prairie:Good!How about we go to the Hensonville Mall?It's air conditioned & it'll get us out of the dorms.

Cookie: Dum dee dum dee dum... Hi, Bert.
Bert: (looking up from his book) Oh. Hello, Cookie Monster. (goes back to reading)
Cookie: Bert?
Bert: Umm...yeah. What?
Cookie: How come we never hang out?
Bert: Hang out?
Cookie: Yeah yeah. We friends right?
Bert: Well, sure. We're friends.
Cookie: Okay okay. Then how come we no hang out?
Bert: Well, perhaps it's because you and I have nothing in common. I mean, that must be it.
Cookie: Nothing in common?
Bert: Sure...I mean our interests are completely different.
Bry: (behind the counter making lunch) I dunno...I think you two may have more in common than you think.;)
Bert: No, no. I am telling you, we don't like any of the same things. For example... Cookie, what is your favorite color?
Cookie: Blue...like me fur.
Bert: Okay. You're favorite color is blue. My favorite color is gray.
Bry: Come on now, Bert. Everyone has different favorite colors.
Bert: Okay. Then what about this. What is your favorite food?
Cookie: What else? Cookies!
Bert: You see? My favorite food is oatmeal.
Cookie: Oh. Oatmeal okay, me guess.
Bert: I like to collect paperclips and bottlecaps. What do you like to collect?
Cookie: Cookies!
Bert: Uh huh! My favorite song is "Doin' the Pigeon". What's yours?
Cookie: (sings) C is for cookie, that good enough for me! C is for cookie...
Bert: You see the pattern here? I'm sorry, Cookie Monster.
Big Bird: (Walks in the room) Hey, Cookie Monster! I think Beth is back.
Cookie: Oh, okay...
Bert: I have to go now anyway. I'll be late for my meeting at the Association of W Lovers. See ya later! (starts to leave)
Bry: Oh, Bert...
Cookie: Wait wait wait! Did you say "W Lovers"?
Bert: Yeah?
Cookie: Me love the letter W!
Bert: (confused) You do?
Cookie: Uh huh!
Bert: (surprised and excited) You love the letter W? This letter right here? (holds up a W)
Cookie: It me favorite letter!
Bert: (Excited) It is?
Cookie: Yep! To...eat! (Grabs the W and devours it leaving little crumbs everywhere.) Uurp! 'Scuse me. (wipes mouth) Boy that fun. Thank you for hanging out with me, Bert. You fun guy. Bye bye! (goes back downstairs to room 3)
Bert: (sighs and faints)

(Bryan and Telly walk down the hallway each carrying two bags full of trash)
Bry: Thanks for helping me clean out the room, Telly.
Telly: No problem.
Bry: There was just so much junk in my desk and closet that is really not needed anymore.
Telly: Well, I know where it's needed.
Bry: Yep. Our neighborhood "pack rat". (opening Oscar's can) Special delivery, Oscar! (drops the 4 bags which are full of various junk items, including old greeting cards, a lamp chain, dented candy tins, a broken calculator, a pair of sunglasses with one lens popped out, and dried out pens, in the can.)
Telly: He'll love that!
Bry: Yeah. Come on, Telly. Let's go see if there's any more.

[Erine81981]

Down in Oscar's can............

Oscar: Well well well. Some new trash just for me. *opens all four spreading them through out his pad* Now to do something with all this this stuff.

[Erine81981]

*watching "America's Got Talent* Oh boy this is going to be fantasic.

Grover: *eatting the Chicken Al King*

Herry: When's Kermit and his friends coming on?

Don't know. Just can't wait.

Maurice: That guy that does the van..vantre...

Ventriloquist?

Maurice: Yes that's the word. He's good.

Murray: What is that?

Murray: Why not carry me around?

Well your a little big.

Herry: Little big? He's big! Like me.

I hope so Grover. Let's watch.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Hey Cookie!
Cookie: Hi Beth, welcome back. Kyle need to talk to you. Me wanted to tell you before me forgot.
Beth: No problem, I'll give him a call. There are cookies on the table.
Cookie: COOKIES! *runs over and immediately devours*
Beth: *calls Kyle* Hey Kyle, heard you were looking for me, what's up?

[Erine81981]

Oscar: *pops up* Now this is my kinda of my music.

Grover: They have a really good rhythm.

Oscar: No they don't! They were awful and i liked it.

I know i liked it. They were wonderful.

Oscar: Awful!

Grover: They are at it again.

Herry: Nah. Let's keep watching the show. Maybe Kermit will be back on.

Grover: Yeah!

The shouting keeps going

[Erine81981]

Oscar: Awful!

Wonderful!

Oscar: Awful!

As me and Oscar keep disagreeing with each other the phone rings

Herry: Hey Kyle!

What!

Herry: Beth is on the phone.

Beth? What does she want? *gets the phone* Hey Beth. What's up? What'd you call for?

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Wow, sounds like Cookie Monster's on the prowl tonight; better lock up the cookie jar.
Erin: I would - if we had a cookie jar, which we really don't.
Storyteller: What? But every organized person needs a cookie jar in the kitchen.
Nora: Storyteller. Remember who we're talking about.
Erin: Yeah. There are a lot of words that can describe me. Organized is not one of them.
Storyteller: All right, but at least don't leave the teapot so close to the edge of the counter; I don't think it can survive one more trip to the floor.
Erin: I know...I've been meaning to get a couple of new ones. (shrugs) Anyone want some tea?
Nora: It'll have to be decaf for me.
Storyteller: Full-strength, dear, I'm translating a couple of novellas at the moment.
Erin: Right...two Earl Greys, one peppermint. (pours boiling water into mugs and adds tea bags, as E. is doubting her teapot's structural integrity)

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Well, Cookie Monster told me you needed to talk to me, so I thought I'd give you a call. How'd you like the rest of America's Got Talent?

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *extremely bouncy*
Rizzo: T'ink he remembers he still has mat' homework to do?
Clifford: No idea. But at least he liked Kermit and the gang on T.V.
Gonzo: I miss Camilla though.
Rizzo: D'at was Camilla?
Gonzo: Of course! Couldn't you tell?
Red: Um, can I go home now?
Uncle Deadly: You won't find an answer from them, my dear, so you may as well go, I'll let them know you've gone.
Red: Thanks! See ya, guys!
Ryan: *bounces*
Clifford: *shakes head*

[Erine81981]

Beth: Well, Cookie Monster told me you needed to talk to me, so I thought I'd give you a call. How'd you like the rest of America's Got Talent?
*on the phone* Well i didn't tell Cookie anything. Maybe someone else did. But i really enjoyed it.

Grover: *remembers* Oh yea. I was the one who told Cookie that i wanted to talk to Beth.

Herry: Better tell Kyle.

Grover: Hold the phone! *runs at me knocking me over which knocks the phone out of my hand* *grabs the phone* Hey Beth. It is me your cute and loveable furry blue monster....Grover. I am the one who needs to talk to you.

Claudia: You did so well, Beakie!

Bunsen: Too bad they could not understand you so well. Was the wig comfy? Tsstsst!

Beaker: Meep!

Claudia: You gave such a nice constructive critque but at the same time gave praises! You are such a merciful judge! *Giggle*

Beaker: Meee *trying to look modest*

Claudia: Animal needs a haircut...might need to call Alex. XD

[The Count]

*Stretching legs... Well, the list's a bit more manageable now. Gotten through to the G's, and 2000+ entries. That's about two-fifths of the load. Will probably finally do some reading for classes tomorrow, if I can pull myself out of working on that monster long enough. Haven't even done anything with the haunters in a while... Hope Claudia's got the spider ready, can't wait to share the others I have with her, especially #5 and #10 which I'm proudest of for now.

*Goes off to wash up and then sleep off the night away.

(Bryan, not able to sleep decides to write a little note and slips it in Ed's mailbox. The note reads: )

Dear Ed,

I hope you are doing well. I was just curious to know what's going on with the anniversary shake-up. When do we need to leave the dorms? Thanks so much. Have a good night!

Bryan

[The Count]

*Gets Bryan's note... *Reads... *Writes and sends a reply to him saying that everybody will have to move out probably next Monday, but I want to announce it proper so everyone has a chance to have full knowledge of what's going on.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Hmm, I never did get to talk to Grover about what he wanted. Oh well, I am sure he will call back.
Red: So, did you hear, anniversary shake up is coming soon
Beth: Sure is. Boy can you believe you and I have lived together for 2 1/2 years?
Red: Wow
Beth: Anyway, Ed will give us more info soon I'm sure, for now, let's just continue to have some fun
Red: Sounds good to me!

[The Count]

Yes... And if you could please post some more story, that'd be good too.

Clifford: You should be, dude! You've had homework every night this week, and been wakin' up super early.
Ryan: Well, I've got to. My first class starts at 7:30 in the morning.
Clifford: On the bright side, the coffee you've been drinking isn't really having that much of an effect.
Ryan: *frowns* Thanks Cliff.
Clifford: Anytime, my man. Ya know we've gotta move outta here pretty soon, don't'cha?
Ryan: Yeah, I know, I know.
Clifford: Think everybody's comin' back to the room?
Ryan: *shrug* Not sure. It'll depend on how things go.
Clifford: So... like, if Gonzo blows up a few more things, he's out?
Ryan: *smirks* Not exactly.
Clifford: Dang.
Ryan: *shakes head* *stares at homework* I'll do this later. I'm gonna go talk to Claudia for a bit, that is, if I can get in her room without being mamboed with.
Clifford: Good luck.
Ryan: Thanks, I'll need it.

Bunsen: Beaker, I have not seen that dance in years!

Beaker: Mee? *Nods*

Bunsen: It has been that long.

Claudia: Hey Ryan!

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *flushed* Oh, Pepe, this is such an honor for me... I hope I don't end up with a chipped shoulder after all this salsaing!
*rimshot*
Ryan: Thanks Animal.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *sniffs* I've been dumped by a prawn... But, uh, Claudia, I still need to talk to--*toppled over by dancing Alex*

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *trips over Ryan, whom she just toppled* Oof! Sorry Ryan! Wasn't looking where I was going! Here, I'll get outta your way so you can talk to Claudia. *moonwalks back over to Beaker* Hey Beaker! Betcha can't do this one! *begins dancing like Beyonce*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Dear goodness... Alex's brain has been invaded! GONZO!
Gonzo: *pops up* Yes?
Ryan: Get the vaccuum! Alex needs her brain sucked!
Gonzo: Cool! *runs out*
Ryan: Don't worry Alex, we'll save you!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: Meemeemeee! *Happily does the tango with her*

Bunsen: Oh! I LOVE THAT DANCE!

Beaker: *Has a rose in his mouth*

Bunsen: Oh, where did that rose come from? *scratches head*

Claudia: Ay, Pepito quieres bailar conmigo? Que coqueto eres! *Swings him about* *Giggling*

Bunsen: Excuse her Pepe, she needs to talk to Ryan. *Leads her out of the party crazed room so she can discuss things properly with him*

Claudia: Like! MY ROOOMMMM!

Bunsen: Yeeessssss....Beaker seems to enjoy himself.

Claudia: ;__;

----

Beaker: *Notices the sexy dance from Alex* *Red* Meemeeemeemeee! *Winks oocishly*

Bunsen: O_O Oh my. *Clears throat* Very tempting. XD

Beaker: Mee!

Bunsen: Jealous? I think not.

Beaker: ;3

Bunsen: Very naughty of you.

Beaker: Meee *Dancing with Alex on the way out of the room*

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *dancing out the door and into the hallway* Wow Beaker! You're a really fun dancer!

[Katzi428]

Prairie: Wow! Everyone is dancing around!
Rosita:Si! Hey Kathy...maybe you should do the Disco Frog dance for everyone!
both girls giggle
Sheesh...the two of you will never let me live that down huh?:rolleyes:
Prairie: I'm just sorry I didn't have a video camera that day. C'mon Kath...have a sense of humor about it.
OK..you're right. Actually I do have a sense of humor about it.It was funny!:)
Rosita:So...you gonna do it?
Let me think.....um....thinking....thinking..........NO!: p
both girls:Party pooper!
(OOC: I posted about this at 8:59 EST & "Disco Frog" was on MC Radio around 10 minutes later!Coincidental huh?)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: ;3 Meemeemee!

Bunsen: He's a wonderful singer too.

Beaker: *Playfully serenades to Alex*

Bunsen: Who knew you were a complete flirt?

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *blink* Gonzo, I think they're ignoring us.
Gonzo: Should I try eating the vaccuum?
Ryan: Not just yet, we're not completely desperate.

[Beakerfan]

*in the background, somebody lets out an intense yell, but no one notices*
Alex: You have a wonderful voice Beaker!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*back in Claudia's room*
Pepe: *pouting* Is no fun hokay. Just is no fun. Aha! *runs to the kitchen* *brings back chips and salsa* Now is fun hokay! Now Pepe be life of the party! Becos everybody say "Pepe, jou bring the food! What would we do without jou" hokay! Now Pepe is fun!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex: Wheee! *is twirled by Beaker*

*all of a sudden, something jumps out and tackles Beaker!*
Alex: Aaaaahhhhh! ANIMAL! What did you do that for?
Animal: *looks at Beaker* Grrrrr! *points at Alex* MINE! WO-MAN! *begins shaking Beaker, while suddenly speaking in half-growls, half-meeps* Grrrmeep! Yaaaaahhhheep! Meeeeeep-errrrrrrrr!
Alex: *eyes wide in amazement* What the hey - Bunsen, do you know what he is saying? And how can he be talking in meeps? He can barely talk english!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:

*Feels a sudden tackle by a flash of a brilliant red figure* MEEEPPPPP! MEEEP MEEP MEEEP MEEEEEP!

Bunsen:

Since they've known each other for so long it has become noticeable that Animal has somehow gotten use to Beaker's vocal patterns. Animal is far more intelligent than even I give him credit for. That is how I grew to understand Beaker as well but even I have trouble understanding him at times. Animal, having been probably the most observant (contrary to others belief) has simply mastered the language through that exact technique!

Marvelous!

Beaker:

*Struggles and pins Animal to the ground before falling victim once more under Animal's trap* *They roll around the carpet hilariously* ALEXMEEPMEEP!

Bunsen:

He'd never have those intentions with her Animal! Besides he is half her age...possibly old enough to..

Beaker:

*Offended* MEE?

Bunsen:

It is true...

Beaker:

MEEMEEEMEE! *Tackles Animal before being flung to the cieling*

Bunsen:

I think I've made things worse...GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF BEAKER!

...*whispers to Alex* My bets are on Animal.

XD

[OOC: Never had this much fun since...whenever! XD]

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Gonzo, eat the vaccuum!
Gonzo: Whoopie! *bites down on vaccuum*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: ...>_> Gee Ryan, I wanted a bite out of that! *Unaware of battle*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Gonzo, share your vaccuum.
Gonzo: Man, this sucks...
Ryan: Duh, it's a vaccuum.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Thank you. XD Nice pun. *Gets a knife and fork* YUM!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: *waves white flag*

---

Claudia: Er...bye Ryan! *Hears meeping* *Rushes out* Remember our plan!

---

Bunsen: Beaker, are you alright? We should go before Claudia sees you. You know how dramatic she can be.

Beaker: *Twitch*

Claudia: BEAKER? What happened to you? *Huggles Beaker gently*

Bunsen: Well from his flirtaciousness did he anger Animal since Alex is clearly his--as he says "Woman" so yes. This was basically all Beaker's doing.

Beaker: Meeeeee?

Claudia: *Frowns* Beaker. I am sooo mad at you.

Beaker: Meee?...

Claudia: *Looks serious*

Bunsen: *Shivers* That cold stare...

Claudia: Come on Beaker.

Beaker: >_> *Gulp*

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: She ate all of my vaccuum!
Ryan: What do you expect? Claudia really sweeps the competition when it comes to vaccuum eating!
Gonzo: ...Just stop.
Ryan: Sorry.

[Katzi428]

Gonzo: She ate all of my vaccuum!
Ryan: What do you expect? Claudia really sweeps the competition when it comes to vaccuum eating!
Gonzo: ...Just stop.
Ryan: Sorry.
taking a cane ..going up to Ryan's room & then giving him the hook for the bad pun!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen to Katie: Thank you Miss Katie. *Shakes head*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *dragged off stage*
Uncle Deadly: *pops up* About time! He was killing this performance!

[Katzi428]

Bunsen to Katie: Thank you Miss Katie. *Shakes head*
It's Kathy if you're talking to me,Bunsen.And you're welcome.;) :)

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: (hearing commotion) W-w-what's going on?
Storyteller: Well, nature abhors a vacuum...but Gonzo seems to like them.
Erin: Mmm...(thumbing through book) Hey, I've got a joke: Did you know that Marcel Proust wrote a cookbook, in addition to his other books?
Storyteller: Really? What was it called?
Erin: A la recherche du Pain Perdu.
(Storyteller cackles)
Nora: I don't get it.
Erin: It's a play on "A la recherche du Temps Perdus," In Remembrance of Things Past. And pain perdu is French toast.
Nora: Oh, oh...(winces)
Erin: (sighs) If I have to explain it, it's not funny - but my French professor got a laugh out of it. (gets up) On another subject, I got us a new teapot.
Storyteller: Oh, let's do see it.
Erin: (goes to kitchen, returns with pot) Here it is, one nice big round blue one, which I unearthed in Finders Keepers.
Nora: Looks good.

[The Count]

*Overhearing Erin... You've got a... friend?
You just call up my name...
Count, at the organ supplying the mood music: And you know wherever Iam...
I'll come running...
*Spooky voice: Running for you.

Sorry, that tune's stuck in my mind from the performance last Tuesday. Did you happen to see it Erin? Just wondering cause it was a James Taylor song being performed and we haven't heard anything from the resident RHLC-er on it yet.

But whatever you're planning, just know you're always welcome here.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: Oh sorry Kathy dear, I wonder if Pipi has gotten out of the room yet.

Claudia: Bunnie, you confused Kathy for Katie?

Bunsen: I'm not good with names.

Beaker: *Goes in the room and sees Pepe* Meeemee?

Well, if you wanna be technical, it's actually not a James Taylor song, it's a Carole King song, from "Tapestry." But both King and Taylor won Grammys for their respective performances of said tune.

And unfortunately I missed it...oh, well.

Nora: What did he mean by "you've got a..."
Erin: That's probably because he read the message before I finished it; I accidentally hit the key for "Submit Reply" as I was typing.
Nora: Ah.
Erin: Yeah, well, thank heavens for the edit option.
