[BeakerSqueedom]

*The wail of innocent people could be heard as
Claudia glomps the heck out of them*

*War cry*

Claudia:
*Looks up*
Huh? GLOAT! I'll save you!

*Laughs out loud*

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: *holding a bouquet of flowers, starts to walk out the door*

Alex: Where on earth are you going?

Sweetums: Claudia is upset about something. I thought I'd go over and cheer her up!

Alex: Aw, how nice!

Sweetums: *exits and knocks on Claudia's door*

[Gloat]

*They are in Claudia's room*

Adam: Hi Claudia, sorry bout that, our narrator is trying to annoy us

Boppity: Narrator?

Adam: Why don't you go throw yourself into a dumpster?

Boppity: *dissapears*

Adam: *shouting at narrator* I didnt mean it!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
O_O
*Back in the room*
Must have been the teleporter...
*Hears the Narrator*
......I'M BEING STALKED!

Bunsen:
Ooh, I'll get that.
*Opens the door*
Greetings Sweetums!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Flowers? For me?
You shouldn't have...

Claudia:
No silly...
AWW! Sweetums, this is so sweet!
Thank you thank you thank you!
*Glomps him*

Beaker:
Meep!

[BEAR]

Bryan: Okay, which ones of you want to help me clean out my car?
Roomies: (no answer) ...
Bryan: Come on!
Big Bird: I'll help. I like to help.
Bryan: Thanks, Big Bird. Anyone else?
Bert: Yeah, I suppose I should help too.
Bryan: Anyone else...? (staring straight at Ernie and Cookie Monster who are sitting watching TV)
Ernie/Cookie: (no answer)...
Bryan: Okay...but if I find one cookie crumb in there, there will be a price to pay!
Ernie: (Jumps up) I'm with ya!
Cookie: (follows) Me clean crumbs!
Bryan: Thank you!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Dr. Van Neuter:
I am puttin' on my top hat,
Tyin' up my white tie,
Brushin' off my tails.

Claudia:
I am dudin' up my shirt front,
Puttin' in the shirt studs,
Polishin' my nails...

Bunsen:
I am steppin' out, my dear,
To breathe an atmosphere
That simply reeks with class!

Dr. Van Neuter:
And I trust that you'll excuse my dust
When I step on the gas...

Claudia:
*Giggles*

Bunsen:
*Sighs*
Not that type..

Beaker:
Meee..
*Shakes head*

Claudia:
Oops!

Dr. Van Neuter:
For I'll be there,
Puttin' down my top hat,
Mussin' up my white tie,
Dancin' in my tails.

*The three stare at her outfit*

Claudia:
I am putting on my top hat...
*Positions her hat*
I am pinning up my bow tie...
*Does so*
Brushin' off my tails!
*Walks out happily to go to the party*

Dr. Van Neuter:
That's a first...

Bunsen:
Agreed, a different sight though.

Beaker:
*Faints*

Claudia:
Girls can wear tuxes too...
;)

*Corny ending music*

EDIT:

Claudia:
*Returns to the room to get her white gloves
and goes to the party--officially and puts on some lipstick and mascara on the way*

[Erine81981]

Herry: *wakes up* *yawns* *streches* That was a good nap. *looks at watch* It's time! *runs to the bathroom*

Murray: *walks in* Yea i understand Bruce. But Rhyming doesn't look to be easy.

Bruce: But i can rythm all the time. *surprised*

Murray: That is one of the oldest rhymes in the book.

Bruce: What? There's not a book about rhymes.

Murray: Yes there is. Look. *pulls out a book which says "Book of Rhyme"*

Bruce: Wow! Can i see?

Murray: Sure. *puts book down* But you better be careful. This is Abby's book. So it might have some magic to it.

Bruce: What do you mean?

Murray: You will see.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *mutters* *angrily punches numbers on calculator*
Clifford: *pushing down tuxedo pant leg creases* What's up with you dude?
Ryan: Homework. Always homework. There have been three parties this week and I haven't been able to go to any of 'em.
Clifford: well, you're the one who signed up for five honors classes.
Ryan: Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Clifford: YOu want us to stay back with you?
Ryan: Nah, you guys go on and have fun, I can handle the homework load.
Clifford: Good, 'cause honestly, we weren't gonna stay.
Ryan: *scrunches up face* Will you get out of here? !
Clifford: Heh heh heh. *puts on shades* Have fun man!
Ryan: *shakes head* You too.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: You coming, Erin?
Erin: (sighs) I'd like to, but I've got some homework tonight. Give my regards to Jerry, okay?
Beige: Oh, no you don't. Bring your books or your computer out onto the deck.
Erin: (pause) Okay, you talked me into it. (gets up, packs away laptop and heads out with it and a couple of books)
Nora: She gets like this occasionally, you know.
Scooter: Well, who doesn't?

(up in heaven)

Jerry: (taking a deep breath) Such a beautiful night...and I am so looking forward to a few slow dances with Susan...
Richard: (sotto voce) He's getting sentimental. Let's let him have it.
(Jerry suddenly finds himself showered with a large bucket of gold and silver glitter)
Don: (ghostly voice) Jerrrrrrry...Jerry Juuuuuhhhll...

Abby: I wonder if Elmo is here
Wanda: I'm going to get some punch
Mokey: I'm just going to sit back and take it all in. Maybe I'll paint a picture of this later.
Beth: I'm with you Mokey

[The Count]

*At the party...

Count: Oh my, that sister of yours is going to be a heartbreaker Edvard.
Ud: Literally or just figuratively?
Me: Yeah, and I'll be a rib breaker if anyone breaks hers.

*Snatches one of the mini salami with dried onion/oil flavored watered tomatoes sandwiches on toasted baggettes.
Ah, that hit the spot. Let's have some fun and sing some songs...

All: Down at MC where it rocks!

[Beakerfan]

[BeakerSqueedom]

*Glomps him and skips to greet her friends and such*
*Hears singing from Alex and company*
OOOO!

Top hat..

*Sings lightly to herself*

Bunsen:
I would not allow it, if she truly wants to be one.
She'll just have to wait to be one when she's 50.
*Dances with a muppet girl whatever*

Beaker:
MEEP!
*Nods in agreement*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Ditto.

Claudia:
*Giggles*

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *enters the party wearing her floorlength dark purple and black spaghetti-strap dress with beaded black butterflies on it* *overhears the scientist' conversation* Oh, theres nothing wrong with being a heartbreaker! *primps a little*

Sweetums: Definetly not.... Claudia, may I have this dance?

Murray: You can't!

Bruce: Ok.

Everyone gets ready and heads out the door

Bruce: I'll be right there. *grabs the book and sticks it in his tux* This is going to be fun.

[Katzi428]

Prairie:C'mon Kathy..don't be a grouch! Oscar already has that job covered!
:rolleyes: at Prairie
Rosita nudges Prairie:Kathy...come to the party.You'll feel better.It's not good for you to sit here feeling angry.
sigh I guess you're right.
Prairie:Good!I'm sorry I compared you to Oscar,Kath.
Oh...it's all right Prairie. I guess I was acting that way. The party'll cheer me up. See ya later Gaffer
Gaffer:Meow..prrttt

[Ruahnna]

Earlier this evening: Room 20 is in a bit of an uproar. Clothes are strewn about the girls rooms, and even Kermit's room looks a little disheveled compared to usual.
Catherine: Hey guys! C'mon c'mon--we're going to be late.
Fozzie: Is my tie on straight?
Kermit: Um, no.
Piggy: (sotto voce) Honestly! Must we do this every night?
Catherine: C'mere, Honey--wait, um, Kermit--can you tie Fozzie's tie? I've still got to throw on a little mascara.
Piggy: (under breath) Thow is right.
Kermit: Piggy!
Catherine: Hey! (stands up and puts hands on hips) Now just a minute, Missy. We've had parties every night this week and some of us are just not used to wearing pantyhose all the time, okay? So cut me some slack or you're going to need to find yourself a new ladies maid or iron your own clothes. Got it?
Piggy: Sheesh. Some people have no sense of humor. (turning to Kermit) I see you're wearing basic green.
Kermit: (happy to have no wardrobe woes) Well, goes with everything, you know.
Fozzie: Is my breath okay?
Piggy: (sighing) Fozzie--just lick the back of your hand and smell it!
Fozzie: (bewildered) Why?
Catherine: To see if you have bad breath, Fozzie, but I don't think that's such a--
Fozzie: (ptttp, thtppp {trying to spit hair off his tongue}) Now I'm suhpothed to thmell ith?
Catherine: Fozzie, honey--just go brush you teeth, okay? Just in case.
Fozzie: Wow--maketh me apprethiate catth. I couldthanth everth geth cleanth thisth thway.
Kermit: Here, Fozzie--let me help you. (takes Fozzie to the sink.)
(Piggy clears her throat several times, but Catherine is too busy trying to buckle her Mary Janes to notice. Finally, Piggy clears her throat noisily which sets off an actual coughing fit. Catherine looks up at last.)
Catherine: (coolly) Hairball?
Piggy: (cough, gasp) Ha ha. Very funny. Vous are such a wit! Aren't you going to tell me how I look?
Catherine: (turning at last) Well, actually, Piggy, I was trying to...oh. Wow--you do look lovely. Is that one new?
Piggy: (preening a little) Yes--just a little something that I picked up in the Big Apple. And look! Shoes by Minola!
Catherine: Um, the shoe designer?
Piggy: (growling) No--Pepe's cousin. Of COURSE the shoe designer.
Catherine: Very fetching, but bound to set you back a bit, dear. What did you spend for them?
Piggy: (mumbles unintelligibly)
Catherine: That's what I thought. Oh, look! The boys are back! Shall be go before the party starts without us?
Kermit: Let's! (He holds his arm out to Piggy, who takes it and glides toward the door.) Wow, Piggy--nice shoes.
Piggy: Oh, these ol' things? Vous is sweet to notice....
(Fozzie offers his arm to Catherine and they head out the door.)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
*Rushes to request a dance from the slightly upset Kathy*
Meee...meeemeemee? Meee meee meeee.
*Bows a little to her before they are to dance*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Ignore the pink thing. Wanna dance?

Beaker:
*Pushes him to the side a little*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Hey, that's rude.

Beaker:
Meemeeemeeemeeemeee!

Dr. Van Neuter:
You have two left feet!....I don't even
know what you're saying...

Beaker:
*Points to him and does the nutcase face*
Crazymee!
*Sneaks a dance with Kathy, leaving a blabbering Van Neuter*


Claudia:
Of course Sweetums!


Bunsen:
You know, Alex, we've not exactly talked as much.
How about an innocent dance?
Mmm?

[Katzi428]

Awwww..you guys are sweet! We can take turns!curtsying to Beaker & then dancing with him
After 2 dances : OK Doc..let's cut a rug!:) Beaker...you can dance with Prairie or Rosita.
Prairie:Oh...I will!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
*Nods and sends a glare at Neuter*

Dr. Van Neuter:
I like the way yah think!
Though, the meeping thing really does have two left feet...

Beaker:
*Mutters horrors about him before dancing with Priarie contentedly*

Dr. Van Neuter:
*Twirls Kathy about and dips her, does the tango*
*His wife smiles over at the dinner table in awe*

---

Claudia:
Hey, Sweetums...I'm gonna see if Edward wants a dance.
The poor guy must be tired though....*Thinks with a sly grin*
All the better to annoy him! *Winks*
Oh, you're such a fun dancer!
Thank you!
*Hugs him tightly and tackles Eddie roughly*
WHEEEEE!

*Blinks*

I keep forgetting this isn't football...
curse my active years in sports....

*Gives a cheesy smile*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
Once I am done, I will helpfully assist Erin on her H.W.
Hmmm, I suppose I'll do that in few minutes. I don't think anyone will
mind much.

[The Count]

Much later that night...

Hey Jim, before you and the others have to leave. Just wanted to say thank you for the compliment. It was a great honor and even greater fun to have these celebrations for you and Jerry. One thing I would ask though... Please keep an eye on Jerry, the other one, the one who's stil here with us.
*Shakes hands as the heavenly troop ascends to their lofty lair once again

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Morning...

Bunsen:
Ditto, you still partied after we left?

Claudia:
No, no, I was too tired.
I still am.
*Snugs into her pillow*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Come on sleeping beauty,
gotta get into some more casual clothes
if you're just gonna be a couch potatoe.

Claudia:
I am thinking to go again tonight..
but...I....can't....go....on.

Though, I hope our guests of honor had
fun.

Bunsen:
They sure did.

Claudia:
*Smiles*
I hope so.
Hey...what's this?

Beaker:
Hatmeep!

Claudia:
Oh, wow....
*Falls off of her bed*

Others:
*They snicker a bit*

Claudia:
*Eyes narrow*
Hush up.
*Getting up, she bumps things as she does the early basics*

[BEAR]

Bryan: Do you have birdkateers today, Big Bird?
Big Bird: Sure do. I was thinking of asking Mr. Eagle to be a special guest this week.
Bryan: You mean Sam?
Big Bird: Yeah, he seems like a real smart bird. I think he could teach us a lot.
Bryan: Hmm...Goodluck!
Big Bird: Thanks, Bryan! Bye! (goes off to see Sam)

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Scooter: Wait a moment - Big Bird is inviting Sam the Eagle to a Birdkateers meeting?
Erin: (reading "A Wrinkle In Time" on the sofa) You heard correctly.
Nora: Oh, dear...they're in for a bit of a surprise at the meeting.
Beige: So what's Sam going to show them? A long treatise on how all the Muppet Show cast members are complete weirdoes?
Scooter: And then he'll stop in his tracks when he remembers that he himself is in the Muppet Show cast.
Erin: That's right, show him a bit of logic and he'll completely lose his train of thought.
Storyteller: Has everyone read the end of that wonderful story by Ed?
Beige: (meaningful glance at Scooter) Oh, we have.
Erin: Word of warning, Nora. Sara's a little bit jealous of you.
Nora: She is? (blushes) Oh, dear.
Erin: But it's cool; she liked the story a lot. (goes back to book) Which scene should I do at the book reading - the creepily organized town or the big rescue scene at the end?
Scooter: Oh, go for the rescue scene. I'm going for the flight of the Weasley twins.
Beige: When is the reading again?
Erin: October 1, down at Nelson Square.
Storyteller: Think they'll like a reading of "Tales from the Cuddle Caverns?"
Nora: (making a face) "Tales from the Cuddle Caverns?"
Storyteller: Oh, it's a full volume of slightly scandalous love stories.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
I haven't been creating
anything. No new inventions..
*Nearly goes into a spasm*

Claudia:
*Shakes him*
It's alright!

Bunsen:
Of course it isn't my dear!
*Goes limp*

Claudia:
Bunnie? Bunnie?
*Rocks him*

Bunsen:
I must fuel my
urge to create...
*Babbles about*

Beaker:
Meee!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Claudia, when Honeydew
gets like this. It usually isn't
a good sign!

Bunsen:
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight?
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand...
Ive seen your face before my friend
But I dont know if you know who I am...

Claudia:
...you wouldn't?
*Eyes tear up*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Hello! He is like...
on a breakdown!

Beaker:
Duhmeep!

Claudia:
*Frowns*
*Gets a flask filled with
colorless liquid and
allows him to inhale the scent*

Bunsen:
Oh, what a sweet aroma...

Claudia:
We're losing him!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Finally!

Beaker:
*Gasps*

Claudia:
*Smacks Phil*

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: *bursts in to Claudia's room* Claudia! What's wrong? *sees Bunsen limp in her arms and Phil knocked out on the floor* O_O Um.... is there anything I can do to help?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Sweetums, it's Bunnie.
He's....he's...gone insane!

Bunsen:
Oh, make the world go away...
take it off my shoulders....
*Sings to himself*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Don't worry Sweetums!
He'll be JUST fine!
;)

Claudia:
*Hugs him*
*Glares at Phil*

Beaker:
Cardsmee?
*Asks Sweetums*

Claudia:
Oh wait, isn't there another party coming tonight?
What are yah gonna wear? Alex gonna dance with Ky-

Beaker:
*Turns head to the side cockily*

Claudia:
Sorry Beakie.

Bunsen:
Oh yes...another wonderous party!
*Gets up and collapses on the bed*

[The Count]

Hmmm... There's no party scheduled for tonight.
*Flips through calendar checking dates... Nope, only thing I have here is to snap Bunsen out of his delirium is to see the Sad and Lonely Man Science left him. Oh, that'd be Ben Stein.
*Small joke from Muppets Tonight.

Come on Bunsen... Don't let that get you down. If you're not inventing new inventions, then just take a day off and help out with Claudia's daily chores till the inventing inspiration comes back.

Hmmm, I think my roomies might want to join the reading this Monday. They even finally picked a couple of choice selections from a classic I loved by Nathaniel Hawthorn.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Well thank gosh..
I couldn't continue!

Bunsen:
Oh, no more?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you!

*Gets up energetically*
I must away...
*Comes back to life*
...Science!

Beaker:
*Sighs happily*
O_O Mee?
*Realizes he'd return for more pain*
*Shakes head*

Claudia:
*Snugs into her bed*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Oh wonderful.
Because, I was gettin' some blisters!

Claudia:
*Raises an eyebrow*
Wow.

[Erine81981]

*watching Fraggle Rock in room* Oh my gosh. I haven't laughed this hard in years. I'm loving this epsiode. "The Battle Of Leaking Roof" Oh Junior your so stupid but funny.

Grover: *knocks on door* Can i come in?

Door's open. It'a always your room too.

Grover: *walks in* Oh yea. *sits down on bed and sighs*

You should really watch this Grover. It's funny.

Grover: No thanks. *sighs*

*laughs some more at Junior and Pa* Boy them two are so funny.

Grover: *sighs a little louder*

Is something wrong?

Grover: Nah.

Are you sure?

Grover: Weeelllll......

Well what?

Grover: I am feeling unhappy.

What's happeing?

Grover: I guess i am to hard a worker that i work to hard.

Then hold back on some of those jobs, Grover. You do know that we live here with others and me. You don't always have to pay the rent. I can sometimes and i do.

Grover: I know.

Here's a song to help you up. *starts singing*

Me: Monsters can be unhappy
They aren't always glad
Monsters can feel discouraged
And they get sad

Herry: *pops up* Monsters can be downhearted
When they get real bad news
And they can feel so awful
They sing the blues

Me: Monsters now and then
Get a little down
And they start to fret
Or they mope along with a sad little frown

Herry: And from time to time
They get lonely too
And they even cry
Yes, they do

Me and Herry: Monsters can have big proublems
And they get filled with down
And they just got to sit there and think it out

Me: Monsters have the riiiight
To be up or down
To be mystified
By alot they see when
They look around

Herry: And they have the right
When a thing looks dumb
To get up and say
They have come

(tempo speed up)

Me: When will children finally
Learn that....

Me and Herry: Monsters can be unhappy
Life isn't just good news
Just like a human person
They feel alot....
They heard alot....
And they got a right
To sing the blues

*music ends*

Grover: Thanks guys. You made me happy once again.

Herry: Glad we could help.

Thanks Herry for helping me along with the song.

Herry: Anytime.

Glad we could have this talk Grover.

Grover: Me too. I am going to go get me a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich.

Sounds like a plan.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *runs through door into room*
George: It helps if you open it...
Beau: *lifts broken pieces of door and leaves the room*
Mildred: Is everything alright, Bo?
Bo: Yes, yes. Everything is fine.
Mildred: You seem a little aggitated.
Beau: *returns* Are your 'tattas agid?
Bo: A little I suppose...my university course isn't quite as I expected it to be.
George: I went to university...
Mildred: ...I didn't know you were a man of letters?
George: Yeah...J A N I T O R.
Beau: Jane eye tor?
Bo: Yes...

[The Count]

Hmmm... Sure has been a quiet day here at the dorms. No sillyness, no fanfics updated, no new news from any of our friends. Oh well, guess I'll just take a nap and see if there's anything going on later tonight.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: It is a Friday Night, so what should we do

ZOE: We Can go to Everybody Eats for Pizza

PETER: Good Idea and we can go Swimming

BABY BEAR: Right On!

LITTLE BIRD: And Tomorrow, we may go to the mall to get some things to decorate the dorm

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*In an orb-like machine*

Bunsen:
Ready?

Claudia:
*Raises her nose*
No.

Bunsen:
Oh, I knew you'd be!
On it goes!

Beaker:
*Covers his eyes and connects the plug*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Wow!

Bunsen:
I know, the suspense is
killing me as well.

---

Claudia:
*Comes out*
*Looks stiff, her white hair tied in a bun, and dressed in funeral clothes*
What are you looking at?
*Snorts repulsivley*
Never seen an old woman before?
What's this Chaplin crud? What the heck?
*Licks her lips*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Bunsen, you're not bald!

Beaker:
*Screams at the older version of Claudia*

Bunsen:
*Touches his dirty blonde hair*
This is a success that will make me richer than Bill Gates himself!
I feel spectacular! Youthful!.....very handsome too.

Beaker:
MEEPMEEPMEEP!

Bunsen:
*Sees Claudia's state*
Dear Lordy, who'd think she'd end up looking so...
lifeless?

Claudia:
*Grabs her can and walks slowly to the door*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Wow, and mean too!

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *out in the hallway, sees old Claudia walk by* Oh hello! You must be Claudia's grandmother! I had no idea she was expecting you! It is so wonderful to meet you! *shakes her hand vigorously*

Sweetums: *drinking tea, sees Claudia* What the? *drops his tea cup* I didn't know we had another monster movin in! I've never seen her before! She must be from Sesame Street! Man, she is HOT! *rushes up to meet her*

Bean: *to Elmo* Hey, I think Claudia has some company! Let's go see!

*Bean and Elmo run over to Claudia's room*

Bean: *sees Bunsen* Oh hello Mr. uh..... say, you look alot like Mr. Honeydew! Are you two related?

Elmo: Yeah! Maybe he is your uncle?

[BeakerSqueedom]

[Alex, remind me to kill you. ;) LOL! I LAUGHED SO BAD WITH THE MONSTER THING! LOL!]

Bunsen:
You could say that...
*Chuckles*

Beaker:
*Shakes head roughly*
Mee meee!
*Points to machine*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Don't sha-

Claudia:
*Narrows eyes and increases her frown*
Who you callin' granny?
*Coughs*
THIS MONSTER IS CLAUDIA!
*Tries to whack them with her cane*

Bunsen:
*Pushes her back into the machine*
This is a huge step in the field of Science!
Though, the catch is....to sacrifice someone else's youth...

*Thinks of the money he'll gain*

Beaker:
*Gasps and tries to push Alex out the door*
MEEMEEEMEEEMEE!

Bunsen:
What's the hurry?
I don't mind if she wants to volunteer...

Dr. Van Neuter:
Honeydew, your acting wierd.
Like--weirder than usual!

[Ruahnna]

Catherine: So...everybody happy?
(There are general murmurs of assent from the two lime-green tween recliners, in which the occupants of room 20 are snugged two-to-a-chair.
Catherine: What are we watching?
Kermit: Haven't a clue.
Fozzie: I thought it was a long commercial.
Piggy: Don't care, as long as I'm sitting down.
Catherine: Whew! Good--I thought it was just me!

[Erine81981]

Grover and Herry: Mr. Bean!

Grover: Oh boy! Murray you are going to love this show. It is funny.

Herry: So funny. Can we watch it?

Murray: Just put it in.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
He seems to be his humble old self again...


Dr. Van Neuter:
Of course, his old freakish self again!
*Looks innocent*

Claudia:
*Scolds him a little*
Bunnie, you're not insane.
Right?

Bunsen:
No one is ever purely sane my dear,
however, I am not as mad as I was before.
If I've learned anything, I've learned...
*Looks solemn*
*Slyly smiles*
how fun it is to simply twist time to your liking.
Undo what was believed to be true and cast
uncertainty like a spell over all things considered
to be natural law and a thing called logic.
Hoohoohoo!

Claudia:
Bunnie, you turned me into
an elderly woman. That was
a nightmare come true!

Bunsen:
Ah, forgive me but, can't you
see how well it worked? Nothing
went wrong, no cut cords, and not
even a clumsy action from Beaker!

Beaker:
*Gasps*

Bunsen:
Well, it has been proven (by common sense)
that you lack sufficent control over your
body.

If I remember correctly, you
fell on a certain somebody in High school...
and spilled punch over her.

Tsstssst!

Beaker:
Meee mee.
*Fidgets with a cord*
mee mee mee...
*His voice lowers, expressing embarrassment*

Dr. Van Neuter:
*Sees Claudia shoot at the machine with
a laser gun*

Claudia:
*Star Wars theme song plays as she shoots
at it violently*

Bunsen:
*In shock, he stares on in disbelief*
Claudia! What are you...

Claudia:
....I thought it was a water gun....

Bunsen:
*Collapses on her bed and groans*

Beaker:
Meep!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Yeah, like he said!

[BEAR]

Bert: (enters carrying a pair of black dress pants neatly folded on a hanger) Here you go! All nicely pressed.
Bryan: Thanks, Bert! I owe ya one.
Ernie: Say, where are you goin' all dressed up, anyway?
Bryan: A special gala for the theater I just worked with. It's basically an event to raise money, but they have dinner and entertainment there too. It's at a gorgeous estate up in Anaheim Hills.
Cookie: Dinner?
Ernie: Sounds like fun!
Big Bird: Can we go?
Bryan: Well, I think all the tables are sold, but you can do what I'm doing. Helping out by serving the guests beverages.
Ernie: Like a refreshment stand? Will they have things like juice and sodas?
Big Bird: And birdseed milkshakes?
Bryan: Hmm...got 2 out of 3! But it should be fun. Wanna come along?
Roomies (except Bert): Yeah!
Bryan: How about you, Bert?
Bert: No thanks. I have a meeting at the Association of W Lovers tonight. You all have fun!
Ernie: Aww...we'll miss ya, buddy.
Bert: Thanks, Ernie.
Bryan: Okay. Well, if the three of you want to come, you have to find something nice to wear. Go get spiffy and cleaned up. You have 3 hours!
(Cookie, Ernie and Big Bird all scurry off to get ready)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Dorms quiet...
what is happening?

Bunsen:
I-I do not know!

Claudia:
*Dramatically takes him into her arms*
What are we to do love?

Bunsen:
*Clears throat*
Ooo...comfy.

Claudia:
*Rolls eyes*
So, have any other inventions?

Bunsen:
Not tonight.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Composta likes your story!
I LOVE it...thanks for including our song..
aww...my little snookum wookums...

Claudia:
Thanks..:)
I feel all mushy.

Bunsen:
*Pales*

Claudia:
*Smiles evily*

[Erine81981]

Well guys. My parents are out of town for a while and i thought i might go to the house. Wanna join me?

Grover: Sure. That sounds like fun.

Herry: Yea.

Murray: Oh boy. Another visit to your hometown.

Yep.

Bruce: Is there anything i need to be afraid of?

Murray: Nah.

Grover: Not at all. You might like Kyle's parents.

But they won't be there. So don't worry. We'll have fun.

Herry: What time will be back at the dorms?

Monday maybe Tuesday. Don't know but we can still talk to our friends over the computer there. So are ya'll ready?

Herry: I am. *already packed*

Grover: Hold on.

Murray: I have my backpack ready.

Bruce: Me too.

Grover: Ok. I am ready now.

Good.

We all head to the car and head to Sweetwater to my parents house and have a little get together with my freinds. I'll talk to ya'll tomorrow or whenever.

[The Count]

*The Count's voiceover: MC Dorms vere brought to you by the letter W and by the number 5.
Nighty-night... Don't let the batty bats bite.

[The Count]

Hello? Anybody home?
*Sounds of recording with Bip Bippadotta plays: None of us are here!

Very funny you guys.
*Recording, with a farther echo: None of us are here!

Hmm, guess I'll just wait to bump into the regulars later.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(Sorry, Ed - it's just that a lot of us tend to vacate the premises over the weekend.)

Erin: (at table, with copy of "Wrinkle" and a bag of dried pineapple) Let's see, should I start at this line...or this line?
Scooter: (with copy of "Phoenix") Either way, you've got six minutes to read. (reaches for a few bits of pineapple)
Nora: (reading "James and the Giant Peach")I heard rumors that they're going to read Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" at this thing.
Erin: Okay, then, nobody eats before the reading, unless you want to be ill all over the stage.
Beige: Why, what's it about? Is it about the great Fraggle generals, and the meals they liked to eat before battle?
Erin: Uh, no, it's about what Silly Creatures used to put in their food before the government started regulating that sort of stuff.
Storyteller: Oh, that sort of thing. I think my book would be much more interesting.
Beige: Sure you would - you edited that five-volume sap-fest, after all.
Scooter: Yeah, and are you going to send a copy to Gobo's uncle? You know he'd love it.
Storyteller: Beige, don't call "Tales from the Cuddle Caverns" a sap-fest. Scooter, don't get smart.
Scooter: I can't - Don Adams already did.
Erin: Too true...and I think I'll start reading at this line, the one about CENTRAL Central Intelligence. (gets a handful of pineapple and starts humming the theme from "Inspector Gadget")
Nora: I just hope I don't get stage fright tomorrow.
Storyteller: Well, Nora, if you can survive being a member of the Muppet cast, I think you can survive this.

[anytimepally]

(Sal is walking around the room on his hands)

Randall: What are you doing, Sal?
Sal: Ugh.. (spins around to face me) just practicin'.
Randall: For what, exactly?
Sal: Tuesday.
Don: What's Tuesday?
Johnny: It's a day of the week... the day after tomorrow.
Don: I know that. I meant, what's happening Tuesday?
Sal: Oh, nothin'.
Randall: Then what's the point of practicing?
Sal: Why does everything have to have a point?
Don: (chuckles) You forgot why you were walking around on your hands, didn't you?
Johnny: It's probably all the blood rushing to his brain.
Randall: He'd have to have a brain for that to work.
Sal: As long as I remember by Tuesday, it doesn't matter anyway!

(The Two-Headed Monster enters, on their hands)
Frank: Upsadunsa!
Stein: Upsadunsa! Ba dizzin'!
Frank: Ya, dizzin!
Both: Upsadunsa!

Randall: You know, that does look like fun... (joins them)

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *sitting outside on a swing underneath a big oak tree, notebook in her lap and pen in hand*

Bean: Hey Alex. Whatcha doin?

Alex: Oh, just writing. I like to do that every now and then, ya know?

Bean: Yeah.... well, Sweetums is taking Elmo and I to the park, ok?

Alex: Sure. Have fun! *goes back to writing*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
*On the branch where Alex's swing hangs*
Meeee meeee meeee!
Meee meee meee meeeee...
Mee-mee-mee-mee!
*Serenades*

Claudia:
He's at it again.

Bunsen:
He always did have a lovely singing voice though.
So, that makes up for any mess-ups. Such as falling off the
tree...probably getting electrified if it starts to rain...*Continues
guessing*

Claudia:
That's not nice.

Bunsen:
Yes, you are right.
I'll just entertain myself by
bothering you.

Claudia:
What do you mean?

Bunsen:
*Points to a collection of inventions*

Claudia:
Meep?
*Frowns*

Dr. Van Neuter:
*Sleeping*

[theprawncracker]

Link: *whiney voice* Ryyyyyyyan! I'm so bored!
Ryan: Sorry Link, but I have an Algebra test to study for, I can't entertain you right now.
Link: But that's the same thing everyone else said.
Ryan: Everyone else has Algrebra tests?
Link: Uh huh!
Ryan: *mutters* Or it's just a really good excuse...
Link: What?
Ryan: *ahem* If you'll excuse me Link, I need to study...
Link: *grabs Ryan and shakes him back and forth* Pleeeeeeeeeeeease Ryan!
Ryan: Gah! Okay, fine! If I watch a movie with you will you quit bugging me?
Link: *sniff* For now.
Ryan: Sheesh... alright, pick out a movie.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *happily being serenaded by Beaker, looks up thoughtfully, then goes back to writing her epic adventure*

[anytimepally]

(Don and Johnny burst through the door into Ryan's room)

Don: So.. whatcha watchin'?
Johnny: (making himself comfortable) Got any popcorn?
Don: I know you were planning on inviting us, but you probably figured we'd be busy.. what, with me being so outrageously popular, and Johnny.. well, usually spending the weekends with his mom...
Johnny: He means me being so outrageously popular and him always working on sounds that are so bad I wouldn't even let Sal sing them..
Don: Everyone's gone mad in our room!
Johnny: All upside-down, walking on their hands.. been that was for hours now!
Don: So, as you can see, we're both free tonight..
Johnny: Unless you want to pay us, that is..
Don: (Bewildered) What?
Johnny: Forget it.. any word on that popcorn?

Claudia:
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew!
*Struggles as she is hanging from her ankle to the cieling*

Bunsen:
Don't worry!
You'll be down in no time!

Claudia:
The blood is going to...
my...
head...

Bunsen:
Oh, about time too.

Claudia:
Are you implying me to be an airhead?

Bunsen:
Of course not dear.
Tsstsst..

Claudia:
*Sighs and crosses her arms*

[The Count]

You know... Sis makes for a rather nice vamp hanging upside-down like that. Heh... *Small evil chuckle. Wait until it strikes midnight and the month of monsters begins tomorrow. Then my plans will take a hold of this grand dorms and all it's residents... *Starts laughing maniacally a little louder.
UD: Could you please keep it down? We have a new chapter of KG we're trying to enjoy.
Really? Ooh, lemme read it too!
UD: And we have to get down to Nelson Square for the reading tomorrow, we found a true gem of literature fit for the event.
Count: And it even has the feel of our shows back at Sesame Street.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*Draws Eddie's character as she hangs*

Bunsen:
*Begins to time her*

Claudia:
Aren't you going to let me go?

Bunsen:
Mmm..in a little bit.

Claudia:
Wait--until I pass out?

Bunsen:
Yes.
I am testing to see how long
you can remain concious before
your little world turns pitch black.

Claudia:
*Grabs him by the collar roughly*
*Growls*

Bunsen:
I have changed my mind.
You have such a tendency to...
convince me.
*Chuckles nervously*

Claudia:
This scene is like something out of a Horror movie...

Bunsen:
October is coming?
Already?
Ah, how the days go by!

Claudia:
I know!

Bunsen:
*Presses the button on is remote, the wire around her ankle loosens*

Claudia:
EEEE!
*Lands on her bed*

Bunsen:
*Fiddles with a cord*
Er...tea?

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: Ah, that's right. It's going to be October in four hours.
Boober: Oh, no.
Mimzy: What's the matter with October?
Tosh: *giggling* Nothing, unless you're Boober.
Boober: I heard that, Tosh.
Kim: Guys, do you want me to send you to your bunks?
Gillis: October is the month that the Silly Creatures have a holiday called "Halloween". Silly Creature children get dressed up as other Silly Creatures, go around to other Silly Creatures' houses and get candy.
Tosh: And we get to dress up, too!
Boober: It's also the scariest Silly Creature holiday of them all, worse than Friday the thirteenth! They spend the whole month trying to scare themselves or each other, and for no reason! They don't even have beluviouses!
Kim: Yeah, but that's the fun part!
Boober: I also forgot to mention that it's when she *points to Kim* really gets into her obsession with ghosts and haunted places.
Kim: Hey, blame it on Hauntober Fest, 13 Nights of Halloween and the Travel Channel. Which reminds me, I still have that Ghost Hunters DVD I got through interlibrary loan...
Tosh: I'll get the popcorn!
Mimzy: Wow. This October sounds really interesting.
Boober: *sighs and shakes his head in resignation*

Peter: How are you guys liking Room 8

Zoe: Fun and Fun

Baby Bear: I like my new sheets

Little Bird: and I like a Mattress Pad and Blanket that Peter Gave Me

Peter: Thanks

Baby Bear: Say, why don't we watch the Muppet Show

Zoe: Okay!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (looking up) Claudia, what are you doing on the ceiling? Has gravity reversed itself or something?
Scooter: Maybe she's turning into a vampire.
Erin: In which case we'll have to start wearing high-collared shirts all the time.
Storyteller: Mmm, yes...and it's October tomorrow. The banned books reading, falling leaves...and Halloween.
Beige: Is it true what Boober said? About Silly Creatures running around trying to scare each other and getting candy and all that?
Scooter: That's pretty much it, yeah. But it's all for fun.
Erin: Last year, we did a literary haunted house - rigged all our rooms up to resemble scenes from scary books. We could do that again this year, or maybe try something new...
Scooter: We used to rig up the whole house like a graveyard, and set up fake gravestones and tombs with the names of dead famous people on them.
Nora: But are we still going to invite everyone in for punch and ice cream and truffles and everything?
Erin: Of course. When they come trick-or-treating, we don't skimp on the treats.
Beige: You know, around that time of year, my mom used to make Fear Cakes - it's an old tradition, you make a bunch of little cakes, you write your fears on them in icing, and when you eat them up you're supposed to be eating your fears as well.
Erin: Cool...did she leave a recipe or anything? We'll have to try those.
Storyteller: And may I point out that tomorrow is only the first of October, so you'll have all month to plan, and no point ruining your vocal cords on it tonight. (looks at clock) Besides, it's 10:30 and a school night.
Scooter: Aw, come on, Storyteller, we're not tired.
Nora: Yeah, can we stay up a bit longer?

(up in heaven)

Jim: Storyteller really takes her role as den mother seriously.
Richard: Well, she's the oldest one in the bunch. Go figure.
Jim: I was listening to what Scooter said about setting up tombs and graves for famous people - remember those nice tombstones they gave us that one year?
Richard: (chuckle) And J.P. Grosse tripped over mine in the dark, on his way to the kitchen.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Yay, it's October!
Red: Halloween month, whoopie!
Wanda: Hey Abby, now you can make as many pumpkins appear as you want!
Abby: I know! It's the best time of year!
Mokey: So what are you all going to be for Halloween?
Beth: I'm going to be Rainbow Brite
Red: Who?
Beth: She's a cartoon from when I was little, she brings color to the world with her magic belt
Abby: Wow, she sounds cool
Beth: I always liked her so I thought it would be fun. What about you guys?
*She receives blank looks from all*
Beth: Don't worry, we have lots of time to come up with costumes. We can talk about it more at breakfast, let's go.

[The Count]

Ah... There's a chill in the air... Leaves rustling everywhere... Spiderwebs wherever you stare... The evil is rising and the sirens are wailing and everyone's dying to know...
It's the most wonderful... Time... of the... year!

Count is happily outside counting the fallen crimson red and pumpkin orange leaves clustering around the dorms grounds while Uncle Deadly is reading up on the passages selected for later today.
And the best thing of all... Noone needs to worry about costumes, you'll find out your assignments as the plans reveal themselves now that October has struck, seizing all souls in its ghoulish grip.
*Evil chuckle.

[The Count]

A blue scaly clawed hand reaches up, knocking on the wooden exterior of the main door leading into Room #7.
UD: Hello Scooter? Erin? The Count and I were just wondering at what time the book reading will begin, around what time should we be there with our copy of The Scarlet Letter... And do you need or should we bring anything else? Methinks Count can probably get us some delicious little flavored cookies made only now, during the haunting season.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Beige: Well, October's gotten off to a good start - I mean, it's nice and cool and clear outside.
Erin: (on phone) Hi, Ed - the reading's from 12 to 2. You and the others can show up whenever - and feel free to bring the cookies - okay, see you then. (hangs up) Too true - excellent banned book reading weather. Now then, let's have a rundown of what we're reading.
Scooter: "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
Beige: "Fifty More Jokes from Fraggle Rock."
Storyteller: "Tales from the Cuddle Caverns."
Nora: "James and the Giant Peach."
Erin: "A Wrinkle in Time."
Nora: Mrs. Farley's going to have a big table set up by the stage.
Scooter: She'd never pass up an advertising moment, would she?
Nora: Nope.
Erin: There's going to be food and drink provided at this thing, but you guys might want to bring something just in case.
Scooter: I've got three bags of trail mix.
Beige: Two cases of Doozer sticks.
Storyteller: A thermos full of blueberry juice.
Nora: Mrs. Farley said she brought some sandwiches for us.
Erin: And Ed and the Count and Uncle Deadly are going to bring cookies. All right, then, let's move out.

(group departs for Nelson Square)

[The Count]

In the meantime... Showering and singing issues from the basement floor's bathroom area, where Ed's getting himself washed up to go to Nelson Square. Uncle Deadly's waiting outside, his towel draped over his old blue battered-skinned arm, his clothes on wire hangers next to Ed's, as the Count remains behind in their room placing the order with Sarah Y at the Muff YN Fluff bakery.
Count: Yes... That should be enough, even should our other blue fuzzy friend follow his nose, deciding to show up. Thank you.
*Thinking to himself after he hangs up: Hmm, Cookie does have a love of literature as well, after all, he did enjoy hosting Monsterpiece Theater. Oh wel, he'll probably be attracted to the scent of our Bat Scout cookies.
The Count then goes to wait his turn outside the bathroom, as Ed enters and locks the door behind him so he can dress in private.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *goes outside and sits on the swing, slowly swinging back and forth with a content smile*

Elmo: *looking out the window* Wow, she really loves that swing!

Bean: Yeah. I can't figure out why....

Sweetums: She just likes stuff like that.

Bean: Why?

Sweetums: Because they're simple. She doesn't like dealing with complicated stuff all the time. I guess they give her a nice break from school and work.

Elmo: Yeah....

Sweetums: *pulls a picture out of his pocket, then quickly hides it when Bean tries to see* Well, uh, I'm uh... gonna walk over to the store. *leaves*

Bean: *gives Elmo a puzzled look*

[Erine81981]

Good to be back at the dorms.

Grover: But we had a good time at your parents house.

I know. I also got some of my old halloween stuff from my old room.

Herry: I saw that. I was wondering what you were gathering up.

Just some old halloween decor. So if anyone wants i'm going to start decorating the room.

Murray: *holding hands out and making scary noises* Ooooo ghost and goblins!

Bruce: *has on a scary mask* Boo!

Grover: *jumps*

Bruce: Always a good year for us monsters.

As always.

Herry: I'm going to go get our stuff from the basement.

Thanks Herry. *gets out my older halloween stuff*

[BEAR]

Cookie: So long!
Bryan: Hey, Cookie, where are you going?
Cookie: To book reading club.
Bryan: Oh okay. Have fun!
Cookie: Oh, me will! (Smacking his lips) Bye bye!

[Gloat]

Boppity: So close to Haloween!Adam: And ou're acting as if it were importantBoppity: It IS important!Adam: For you, all i care about is mine and my Dads birthday!Gloat: Your Dads?Adam: the day after mine, its the ultimate couple of days! Then we got a day off before haloween, so its a good week, apart from it being with you two

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*Comes out of the Time machine wearing an oversized robe, filled with cobwebs and dust from time travel and tries to sneak out of the room*

Bunsen:
What year?
*Poofs in front of her and sighs*

Claudia:
EEEEEEEEE!

Dr. Van Neuter:
You think we would not know?
I was not born yesterday, yah know?

Bunsen:
A few decades old we are...

Beaker:
Meep!

Claudia:
DARK AGES!
WHOOHOO!

The three:
*GASP*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Beige: Are there any cookies left?
Erin: In here. (pushes box from Muff 'N Fluff toward him) So what'd you guys think?
Scooter: Oh, it went great! (pause) Although I noticed that Crazy Harry had this gleam in his eye when I was reading about the Weasley twins...
Nora: And what'd you think of Ed and the others reading the Scarlet Letter?
Storyteller: They did marvelously...oh, poor Hester really gets it in the neck, while that boyfriend of hers...
Erin: Shhh...you'll spoil it for people who haven't read it. (pause) But, yeah, it's no fair that he mostly gets off 'cause he's a minister...oops, there, I just blew it.
Nora: I could have sworn that I saw Sam back there, with a look of utter disapproval. (takes a cookie) Maybe he'll have words with us later on.
Scooter: I remember that there was that guy who wanted to read a paragraph from each of Stephen King's works...
Beige: And it's a good thing you guys warned me about "The Jungle." (shudders)
Storyteller: Ah, but seeing how you're tucking into those cookies, your appetite hasn't completely disappeared.

[The Count]

Count: Uh, slight correction Erin. It was Uncle Deadly and I who vere reading, Ed hasn't been able to read on his own since vell, I think To Killa Mockingbird back in high school. Funny, that's the next one after he finishes a few discussions in his class with his classmates and professors on Cider House Rules. Now there's a book for you...
UD: But I did rather like Scarlet Letter. Somewhat unfair what happens to Hester. After all, some witches are quite nice ones. *Makes a face of ponderment.
Count: Ah vell, at least the cookies were recieved warmly by all. Even Cookie Monster asked for some to be deliwered to his address here at the dorms.
*Sneaks out one last Batty Butterscotch cookie.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Really...no wonder Ed seemed to be reading with a Transylvanian accent. But I was really far back when Deadly and the Count started reading...
Erin: You didn't have your glasses on, did you?
Nora: They were hurting my nose. And I can read without them...
Storyteller: But you sure as heck can't do anything else.
Scooter: Come on, Nora, being myopic is the in thing around here. I mean...I wear glasses, Erin wears glasses, Storyteller wears glasses...
Nora: Not quite - what about Beige?
Beige: Actually, Nora, I happen to be farsighted - you might have seen me up there with reading glasses on.
Erin: You looked kind of like Gillis, as I remember.
Nora: (sigh) I've got a headache. (goes to room)
Beige: What's with her?
Erin: Hmm...well, she only got glasses a month or so ago, and she doesn't really like wearing them. Says they're uncomfortable.

[BEAR]

Bryan: How was the reading, Cookie Monster?
Cookie: Deelicious!
Bryan: Which was your favorite?
Cookie: Coconut macaroons. Though Ed's Batty Butterscotch tasty too!
Bert: No, the books.
Cookies: Books?
Ernie: Cookie Monster, didn't you listen to any of the stories?
Cookie: Oh yeah, me listen to a few.
Ernie: Maybe it will inspire new episodes of Monsterpiece Theatre, huh?
Cookie: Eh, we'll see.
Bryan: Say, Bert, I'm surprised you didn't go to the book reading event.
Bert: Yeah, maybe I'll go to the next one. I wonder if there's a specific theme. I'll call Erin and ask. (Calls Erin to find out the answer to his question)
Ernie: (whispers to me) If the theme is boring stories, he's in.
Bryan: Ernie!
Ernie: Khekhekhe.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*Runs through the hall giddily*
High on the hills with the lonely goatherd, lay-od-lay-od-lay-he-hoo
Yodell back with the girl and goatherd, lay-od-lay-od-low!
WHOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
YOODLLEEEEHEEEHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


Dr. Van Neuter:
Look what you did Genius. Why'd you bribe her into
being the victim of your weird test...
by giving her candy?

Bunsen:
I do not know what came over me or what I was even thinking
when I dangled those bags of chocolate chip cookies
in front of her. I worry on what will happen next...

Dr. Van Neuter:
I am so scared.

Beaker:
*Shaking*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (on phone) Oh, hi, Bert...well, since this week is Banned Books Week, all the books we read were books that had been banned at some time or other from schools or libraries...it's an annual event...but don't worry, most of the libraries and bookshops in the area have readings on a regular basis. I'll ask Nora for the schedule for Coming Unbound...right. Okay, thanks. (hangs up)
Scooter: (looking through a box of books) I can't believe some school banned The Lorax.
Erin: Believe it, pal.
Storyteller: Goodness, how could the works of Mr. Geisel be offensive?
Nora: The way I hear it, it ran into problems in a town where the dominant industry is logging.
Scooter: (nods) Okay, I see where they'd be annoyed - but taking the book off the shelves?
Beige: (frowns) You know, if you're going to take the book off the shelves, that's only going to make the kids want to read it more.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *carries a large box into her dorm* Hey guys! Come here!

Bean: What is it?

Alex: I got a bunch of Halloween stuff from home. Look at some of these masks!

Sweetums: Whoa! This one looks like Waldorf!

Alex: Haha! It does! *puts the mask on* Doh ho ho ho! *walks out into the hallway and begins to walk past all the rooms*

[Katzi428]

hearing a knock at the door
Wonder who that could be?opening the door and seeing an overgrown Waldorf!YIKES!Waldorf's a giant!:eek:
Prairie:Kathy,you silly!That's Alex in a Waldorf mask!Or didn't you realize that Halloween is coming soon.
Yeah...I knew.I was only pretending to be scared.
Prairie:Riiigght Kath!;)
Well OK...you caught me off guard Alex.Good job!

[BEAR]

Snuffy: Well, Halloween is just around the corner.
Big Bird: Yep.
Cookie: Halloween?
Big Bird: Yeah, you know the holiday in October with all the pumpkins and ghosts and monsters.
Cookie: MONSTERS! (hides behind Big Bird)
Big Bird: But Cookie, you're a monster.
Cookie: Oh yeah...me just kidding (trying to cover up)
Bryan: Yeah, but remember that Halloween doesn't have to be scary. People dress up in all kinds of costumes, like clowns and princesses and even forum administrators.
Big Bird: Oh yeah...Telly dressed up as Mr. Chapman one time.
Snuffy: I remember that. That was so silly! Dohoho!
Cookie: And me dress up for Halloween too and go trick-or-treating for candy!
Bert: What are you going to dress up as this year, Ernie?
Ernie: Gee, I haven't decided yet.
Bryan: Well hold up on that because from what I hear, Ed is assigning us costumes.
Ernie: Assigning us costumes?
Bryan: Yeah, I'll have to get more info from him about it, but that's just what I heard. Remember it's his favorite time of year, so we should help him out by making it special and fun.

[Erine81981]

Herry: It really looks like a haunted house in here.

It does doesn't it?

Herry: We did a good job.

Grover: Here! Here! I got you something else.

What is it?

Grover: I do not know. Abby made it with her magic wand.

Murray: Almost looks to be a pumpkin but with your face on it.

It does? *picks it up* Wow! It does. Tell her thanks. Bruce! Look at this.

Bruce: *screams and hides*

What's worng?

Bruce: *peering over the counter* What is that?

Murray: A pumpkin with Kyle's face on it.

Bruce: *whew* I thought it was that scary pumpkin king dude.

Oh there isn't no such thing has a pumpkin king.

Bruce: *looks around the room* You guys did an awsome job on the room.

Me, Herry, Grover and Murray: Thank you.

Glad you like it. I'm going to set this down right here. *places the pumpkin on the coffee table* There. What a nice decoration. *heads over to Beth's room* Knock knock...

[BEAR]

Pumpkins everywhere! That time of year again.

[The Count]

*Knocks on Beth's door. Noone home. *Leaves her a message.

Oh hi Bry. You think Friday would be a good day to reveal the Halloween plans? BTW: Found a bottlecap for Bert.
*Hands over a W-winged crow emblem bottlecap.

Guess Figgy Fizz's issueing some new designs for the season.

[BEAR]

Hi, Ed! I think friday sounds like a great time. And thanks for the bottlecap. Bert's gonna love this!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: I heard something about Ed assigning us all costumes or something.
Storyteller: Oh, I hope he has us all wear bright, cheerful clown costumes.

(the others give her a please-tell-me-you're-joking look)

Storyteller: I was just teasing, for Fraggledom's sake!
Beige: (muttering) That's what she said when she said we should all sign up for gaudy pink floral dorm robes.
Scooter: (muttering) I know - next thing you know she'll be suggesting we all get snowsuits with big pink polka dots on them.
Storyteller: Oh, now that's a VERY good idea.
Beige: Nice move, gofer boy. (Scooter winces and slaps his forehead.)
Erin: Storyteller, stop threatening everyone with sartorial torture. (starts hammering out something at the computer)
Nora: What's that you're working on?
Erin: One of my profs just assigned us a pair of extremely unpleasant essays to work on during fall break.
Scooter: During fall break? Are they crazy?
Erin: (sigh) Yes, it would seem so.

[BEAR]

Hmm...I wonder how the guys are... (walks into room 29)....

[BEAR]

Bryan: Here, buddy, I just picked these up from the store. (hands Cookie Monster a box of Joe-Joe's sandwich cookies from Trader Joe's)
Cookie: Oh, thank you!
Bert: I didn't know we had a Trader Joe's in Hensonville.
Bryan: We don't. I went out of the city today for those.
Bert: Oh.
Bryan: And this is for you. (tosses bottlecap to Bert which he misses but picks back up off the floor)
Bert: Oh wow! A W-winged crow! I've been looking for this one for weeks.
Bryan: It's from Ed.
Bert: Hunky dory! Remind me to thank him.
Bryan: I will. And speaking of reminders, gang, I was just reminded that we still haven't given Ed our robe design notes yet. So, I'd like you all to take a piece of paper and a pen and write them down so I can give them to him. Okay?
(Everyone agrees and takes paper and pen and starts writing/thinking)

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: *calls Ed* I see you were looking for me? What's up?

[The Count]

Oh hi Beth... Check the Facebook thread, it's there.
You know... I wonder how easy/simple it'd be to get into collecting bottlecaps. And would/could the neatness of the cool designs be transfered into a form of small batlike figurines?
Hmmm... *Mulling over some possibilities.
Oh well, maybe Bert'd have some pointers or suggestions. Could talk it over with sis if she decides to pop back in from her trip to the Middle Ages.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: (coming down hallway) Ed? I'm returning the Muppet discs you lent us when Scooter was sick. We've pretty much completed the set now, and thanks very much.

(meanwhile)

Storyteller: Erin, I know you're up to here in all things academic and journalistic, but why don't you eventually take a break, maybe make some cookies or something.
Erin: I was thinking about that, sort of.
Beige: What flavor are you going to do? Chocolate? Ginger? Sugar? Triple-nut swirl? (pause) Might I suggest triple chocolate with mint?
Scooter: Beige, you're starting to sound a lot like Cookie Monster.
Beige: (shrugs) Hey, even a security Fraggle can have a sweet tooth.
Erin: (laughing softly) Okay, I'll get to it later this afternoon, as soon as I get a few paragraphs written. (starts to hum "Pour Some Sugar On Me")

[The Count]

Thanks Nora... Glad you guys enjoyed 'em.
Maybe I'll have time to watch some of the movies myself one of these days.

*Small sigh. BTW: Have any secret suggestions, should I add anything to For Richard?

[Katzi428]

Girls,I realized something last night.
Prairie:What's that?
Well...I'm going to be on my Europe cruise when it's Halloween.So I'm going to miss out on celebrating it with you both.I'm sorry.
Rosita:Oh,that's OK Kath. Prairie and I can either go back home or stay with someone here.
Well...we'll discuss it more when the time comes.

[Katzi428]

talking to Bryan on the phone an hour and a half later OK Bry...thanks for your offer.Bye.hanging upAll right Prairie and Rosita...
Gaffer:Meow!
...and Gaffer too of course.;) Bryan has offered to keep an eye on you while I'm away.But the plans aren't cemented yet.
Prairie:That's fine. Staying with Bryan is fun!
Rosita:Yes...he and his room mates are really sweet.

[Gloat]

*Adam is sitting in the common room with espresso*

Adam: Thank you! Something decent to drink!

Gloat: Can i have some?

Adam: No, it'll make you hyper... well, more hyper

Gloat: *blinks* I'm hungry

Adam: I'll get you a kiwi tomorow

Gloat: Ok then, i'll just go buy my own kiwis! *walks off*

Adam:........ Now thats dicsipline! It actually works! All these hard years have paid off!

Gloat: *walks by with firecrackers*

Adam: Wait, no! Gloat, those arent kiwis!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Mmm...kiwis...
*Gets them from Gloat*

Bunsen:
No! Wait! Stop! Those are explosives Claudia!
Which Gloat mistook for kiwis!

Claudia:
Oh, thanks Bunnie.
*Hands it to him*

Bunsen:
*Sighs*
Phew...
*Looks at them*
Oh dear...

*They explode in front of Bunsen and Beaker*

Claudia:
*Sniffs*
Bunsen-cue anyone?

[Gloat]

Gloat: My kiwis! My... exploding kiwis!

Adam: Whoops! Sorry guys! i guess Gloat aint as clever as his IQ tells us

Gloat: What was my IQ?

Adam: 3

[The Count]

Hmm... That'd make him classified as "definite feeble-mindedness".
Bunsen-cue? Oh, don't mind if I do! Mmm, grilled melon-head.
*Serves Claudia some soda while we wait for the ribs to be done.

[Gloat]

Gloat: My IQ isnt 3! *tilts head in confusion*

Adam: You're right, im sorry, ill never make that mistake again

Gloat: Good

Adam: It's negative 15

Gloat: *stares*

Adam: Don't worry count, he's not smuggling, he just doesnt know what kiwis looks like since hes never had any before, either that or he is smuggling and you should call the police, but then i would disagree and hold him till he chokes not letting anyone get him...

*Boppity comes up with Itching powder*

Boppity: Hey guys!

Adam: Please dont hurt them Count, i bet they're just exited about halloween

[The Count]

They're your roomies... Just make sure they don't get into too much trouble and it'll be OK.

Hey Claudia, did you remember to bring the chips and dip?

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (tossing copy of Henry V aside) All right, that's enough Shakespeare for now. (goes to kitchen)
Beige: Like I said, the triple-chocolate ones with mint are pretty good...
Erin: (chuckle) Scooter was right when he said you sound an awful lot like Cookie Monster. (goes to cabinets) All right then, a batch of the chocolate ones...and maybe another kind - the cranberry-orange-chocolate chip ones.
Nora: (coming in and pouring a glass of milk) I was thinking of asking Ed if he could have me take to the mike and seranade the happy couple with "When I Grow Too Old To Dream..." but what do you think, is that too melodramatic or anything?
Storyteller: (following) Oh, that's beautiful...but what do you think, Scooter?
Scooter: Hmm, well, it might work, but then again some people might take that the wrong way...but it's just a story, isn't it?
Erin: (hunting for the cocoa canister) Sure, but it's still a good one. Beige, you want to get out the mint extract, and get that bag of dried cranberries?
Beige: Will do.
Erin: And Scooter, will either you or Nora go check and see how much flour and sugar we have?
Scooter: Let's see...(opens flour bin) Uh, bad news, Erin - flour bin's running on fumes.
Nora: (looks in sugar canister) And there's barely a cup of sugar left.
Erin: (closes cabinet) Well, that means that the culinary escapades are on hold until I can make a run to the shops.

[BEAR]

Bert: (knocks on Erin's door) I hope she's home. Oh hi, Erin.
Ernie: Hi there, Erin...and friends! Khekhekhe!
Bert: We just wanted to see if Scooter was feeling better and if he enjoyed those books.
Ernie: Hey, Beige. Did you hear about Bunsen holding the exploding kiwis? Guess you could now call him a "bunsen burner"! Khekhekhe!
Bert: Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh!
Cookie: (peaking in the door) That coookies me smell?

[The Count]

UD: Nora suggested a song for the story...
Yes, but nor do I know that one nor do I happen to have the lyrics.
*Whispering: Besides, the tone of the epilogue is to show some smoothing over between Sara and Scooter, while he's thinking back to the other thing that happened at the reception.
Uncle Deadly nods in silent ascent. Yes, you'll need something for that all fright. Not too much though, this is MC after all.
Fright, that's why I haven't posted.

Count: Ed, have you decided on vhat to do regarding...
Yeah, I'll keep working on the profiles of the haunters at the castle. Thought it'd be easier to maybe go a more simplistic route of either little bat ornaments or even bottlecap/logo designs. Heh, maybe there'll be a few suggestions from my friends at that new Facebook wall-et I opened up.

Oh well, come on, we have an errand to run... Get some of our extra sugar and flour off to Erin. Unless Bert and Ernie with a delivery from Hooper's beat us to it.
*All laugh as they check up on the rest of the dorms.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(some time earlier)

(knock at the door)

Scooter: I'll get it. (opens door) Oh, hey, thanks, guys! (calls to kitchen) Erin, you don't have to run out to the store - Ed and the others just brought some extra sugar and flour over here!
Erin: (coming to door) Thank heavens and thank you. (takes bags) As payment, you will get some of the first batch of cookies.

(later but not quite sooner)

Erin: Beige, what's the status on those chocolate mint cookies?
Beige: First pan's almost done.
Erin: That's good. Here's the next pan to go in. Scooter, would you soften up a few sticks of butter for the orange-cranberry-chip ones?
Scooter: Salted or unsalted?
Erin: Unsalted. Just zap it for a few seconds at a time, okay? Nora, would you start measuring out some dry ingredients?
Nora: Are we doing a single batch or a double?
Erin: Seeing how these dorms eat, better make it a double. (oven beeps)
Beige, would you get that?
Beige: (grabs oven mitt and slides pan from oven) Somebody get the next pan, please?
Storyteller: (slides next pan in) There we are. I'll start cooling these and slathering the mint icing on them. And I'll set some aside for Ed and the Count and Uncle Deadly.
Nora: And we'd better save some for Cookie Monster and Bert and Ernie, of course.

(still later, when Ernie, Bert and Cookie Monster are at the door)

Scooter: Hi, guys, thanks for dropping in. (hands them a basket) Here, Bert, the books you lent me are in there, and so is Ernie's yoyo. And we've been making cookies, so we put some in for you, Cookie Monster. They're chocolate mint.
Beige: (to Ernie) Well, I did hear that pineapples could be a bit dangerous, but kiwis - that's something else entirely.
Erin: (voice calling from kitchen) All right, first batch of cranberry-orange-chip is ready to go. Nora, take that basket of chocolate mints off to room 1, won't you?
Nora: Will do. (heads for room 1 with basket of cookies in hand)

[The Count]

*Knock at the door. Now who could that be?
*Opens to find Nora... Or should I say little Blue Riding Hood?
Mmm, thank you and send our thanks to Erin for these delicious desserts.
Count: Yes, now I get to count the cookies...
And then we get to eat them.
*Sets a chocolate mint cookie aside for Fatatatita.

*Hugs Nora and bids her a good night.

[BEAR]

Cookie: (oogling over the chocolate mint cookies) Cookies? Cooookieees! (devours the entire batch given to him) Yummy!
Ernie: Well, those went fast.
Cookie: (not satisfied gets more excited about all the baking going on in the room) More...?
(Ernie and Bert grab him)
Bert: Steady...
Ernie: Cookie Monster, try to control yourself!
Cookie: But me so overwhelmed! So many delicious smells! Me want coookies!
Bert: Ernie, hold onto him!
Ernie: I'm trying but he's so strong!
Cookie: MEEEE NEEEEED COOOOOKIEEEES! (goes crazy!)
Ernie: Cookie, no!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Aw, thanks, guys. I'll pass the compliments along to the others.

(meanwhile)

Erin: Update on the cranberry-orange ones?
Scooter: They're starting to brown at the edges.
Erin: Okay, they'll be ready to pull when the timer goes off.
Storyteller: (scooping batter for next pan) Hmm...the dough's a little difficult to scrape.
Erin: I know - one of these days I need to get an ice cream scoop.
Beige: Doesn't matter what they look like, as long as they taste good. (looks up) Sounds like the first batch has been suddenly devoured.
Erin: (laughs softly) And why am I not surprised? (pause) At least we've got the third pan of chocolate mint on standby, plus the ones we're working on at the moment.
Scooter: Want me to...?
Erin: (pause) Okay, but be careful. (Scooter takes another plate of chocolate mints out to the sitting room)

[BEAR]

Be careful, Ed, if you are giving that cookie to Fatatita. If cats are anything like dogs, the chocolate might not be good for her.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*Sprawled on her bed in a suit and a rose in her hand*

Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you
Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine
Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine

In the magic of moonlight when I sigh, "Hold me close, dear"
Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes
Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

The chances are your chances are . . . awfully good..

Bunsen:
I came in at a wrong time...
*Clears throat*

Dr. Van Neuter:

*Puts on a Charles Chaplin mustache and wiggles her nose*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Someone has gone a little nuts.

Claudia:
I saw a lolipop!
Want some tatertots?
I GO FOP!

Bunsen:
Something in your brain has certainly popped!

Beaker:
MEEFLOP!

[The Count]

Thanks Bry... But no worries, she's a good cat, a girl cat, a black cat, and a well-behaved cat. She likes an occasional sweet of chocolate now and then, just like the bats themselves. That reminds me, gotta go buy some stock from Penny Candyman's or at Hooper's tomorrow for this first frightfest Friday.

The only concern I have is keeping her indoors or at least with her tag and collar on Halloween weekend and the day itself. Shame what some people do to black cats that day.
*Fatatatita purrs pausedly, and then curls up a little closer knowing she'll be safe with her owners.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *holding a meeting in the living room* Well guys, as many of you have probably realized, I've been very busy lately and not had much time to spend time with you.
Link: Who are you again?
Ryan: ...My point exactly. Anyway, I've got to finish my homework tonight and then I'm free the rest of the weekend... hopefully.
Gonzo: Well that doesn't sound very promising.
Clifford: Yeah, well neither do our health insurrence premiums.
Gonzo: Trust me, I know.
Ryan: *shakes head* So I want all of you guys in tip-top shape for our weekend of fun!
Sam: Yes! And who better than me to get these weirdos into the tip-top shape you require!
Gonzo: I could think of a few choice others.
Clifford: Me too.
Camilla: Brawk.
Link: Huh?
Ryan: Good grief... I'm back to my homework.

[The Count]

Hey Prawny... Noticed you have a new stuffed pal, a plushie version of Zany. Well, I went to the same store and got me one too earlier today. Maybe you'd like to see her if you have the time of course. Anyway, just checkin' in on my man from da' carbon land.

[Erine81981]

Guys today i went to a Halloween store in abliene. It had some weird but cool stuff for decor.

Grover: Any staffs for a wizard?

I did see some but most were not to wizard like a kind of scary lookin.

Grover: You know me. I will not get scared that easy.

Herry: Boo!

Grover: Ahhhhh *jumps into my arms*

Oh you won't will you?

Grover: *stifle laugh* This is so embarrassing.

*lets Grover down*

Herry: Sorry Grover but it was funny.

Grover: Not for me. I really was scared.

It was just a joke Grover. He was just playing around. Don't worry. We'll find you one.

Herry: Did you see anything you might want to dress as?

I saw two things. One is just like my Ostrich one. It blows up. It looks to be a man riding on the back of a short frankinstin monster. And the other one is "Spaaaaace Ghooooost!"

Herry: I do like the last one.

Yea me too. I just can't decied. I do like Space Ghost and everything so i thought that would be cool since i haven't gone as a cartoon character in a while. But i'll see when pay day comes along. I'm going to take me a bath and watch some Goosebumps shows. They've been airing on Cartoon Network. I've been recording them. *goes of to take a bath*

Grover: So Herry, what are you going as this year?

Herry: I don't know. I thought maybe a ghost but i haven't made up my mind. You are going to make a good wizard.

Grover: You really think so?

Herry: Yep.

Grover: Thanks Herry. I am going to give it a look over. I will be in mine and Kyle's room.

Herry: Ok. *turns on the tv* Now to see what is on tonight.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *stretched out across her bed* Wowwwww..... there's like, nothing to do......

Bean: *playing cards with Elmo* Want to join us? I'll see your bet and raise you 5 M&Ms....

Sweetums: *reading a book* *yawns*

Alex: No thanks guys. I'm kinda all out of M&Ms and Skittles right now. *big sigh*

[Erine81981]

*over hears Alex and zips right over* Hi guys! Hey there Alex. What's up?

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *suddenly perks up* Kyle! Hi! I'm really bored right now... I should be doing homework.... :rolleyes:

[BEAR]

(In Erin's room...)
Bert: I don't think I can hold onto him any longer!
Cookie: (Breaks free of Bert and Ernie's hold and starts going after the baking stuff) COWABUNGA!

[Erine81981]

I can understand homework. Not fun at all. *hears Cookie Monster* What in the world is going on? Come on Alex. Maybe something fun is about to happen.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Scooter: RUN!

(Erin seizes Storyteller and Beige - but not before Beige grabs a pan of cranberry-orange-chocolate chip cookies - and runs into her room with them. Scooter and Nora run in after her, and triple-bolt the door.)

Storyteller: Oh, dear, oh dear...the kitchen's going to be a wreck...
Beige: Well, he was just after the cookies...
Storyteller: Just after the cookies? Beige, do you hear him?
Scooter: Now what?
Erin: (sighs) We hang in here until he's done. (looks at bolts) Those bolts are pickle-flavored, so he's not going to chomp through those.
Nora: But - Beige brought in those cookies. Cookie Monster's going to smell those.
Erin: Then let's start eating. (group starts to munch on cookies as fast as possible)
Scooter: But what if we get thirsty?
Erin: There's my electric kettle on the desk there, and some mugs and tea bags.

(up in heaven)

Richard: (munching on a plate of chocolate-dipped shortbread sent over by St. Margaret) Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.
Jim: (sampling some of St. Anthony's macaroons) You had to say that, didn't you?
Christine: Hey, guys, St. Catherine sent over some lemon coolers, if you want any.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Could I?

Bunsen:
Right now?

Claudia:
*Smiles goofily*
Yessss...pleaasseee?

Bunsen:
Fine. I restrict you from going into Adolf Hitler's timeline and require your assistance in 30 minutes.

Claudia:
Bu-bu-but...

Bunsen:
Do not interact with Rasputin either...

Claudia:
Bu...

Bunsen:
Not even Socrates...

Claudia:
*Pouts*
Fine.
I can have my own fun anyway...



GLOMP FEST!
*Glomps everyone in the dorms*

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *running over to Erins room, is glomped by Claudia* OOF! *gets up and keeps going*

Sweetums: *is glomped* Wow! *GLOMPs Claudia*

[The Count]

*Up in heaven... Will: And then there's the magna ulasses or trumpet cookies dipped in cream. They're fresh out of the oven, I heard St. Agnes pull them out just this minute.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Wait a minute - Scooter, did you lock the cabinet that's got all those Girl Scout cookies in them?
Scooter: Uh...no.
Storyteller: You mean we have a full cabinet of Girl Scout cookies and no one mentioned it until now?
Erin: (sigh) Or rather...we had a full cabinet of Girl Scout cookies, if the inevitable happens.
Beige: I love those thin minty ones...oh, well, no one's going anywhere now.
Storyteller: All right, all right...now keep eating those cookies!
Scooter: (hiccup) I think I'm going to be sick.
Nora: Did I hear Richard make that joke about how the cookie crumbles?
Others: You did.

[Erine81981]

*gets glomped* What is this and glomping people? It bugs the he...*is glomped again* Ok. I won't say that word. Just just bugs me. *runs over to Erin's room* Hey...*sees Cookie Monster*....Shhhhhhhh...he's right over there. *whispers to Alex* Maybe we can catch him.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*Squees at being glomped*

Bunsen:
I have not forgiven you for the Bunsen-Cue joke.

Claudia:
Still?

Bunsen:
Mmhmm.

Claudia:
Awww *Kisses head*

Bunsen:
*Shakes head*
You just try to charm your way through.
Tsk tsk!

Claudia:
Forgive me?
:P

Bunsen:
I'll consider it...
*Playfully adds*

Claudia:
Sourpuss.
*Giggles*

Bunsen:
Indeed.
What would you like to do?

Claudia:
I'm not sure but I am still glomping people.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Anatomy?

Claudia:
Nah.

Beaker:
Checkersmeep?

Claudia:
Ooo!
*Gasps at what Kyle says*
*Collapses*
*Spasms*

Bunsen:
He dares to question...
the glomp?

Beaker:
MEE?

Dr. Van Neuter:
That is like...
murder!

Claudia:
The life is leaving me...
OH!

Bunsen:
I'm just shocked!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Cakes anyone?

[The Count]

Count: It's a good thing ve counted and ate our cookies already.
But don't we have a stash of our own Bat Scout cookies?
Count: Maybe, I'm not sure anymore. Although I did like the Batty Butterscotch ones.
UD: Rather partial to the Double Double Cauldron Chocolate Fudge myself.
Me: And of course their Pumpkin Patch and Hot Darkness Cross cookies are yummy too.

*Goes out to get glasses of milk for all the occupants of Room #1 before our bedtime.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
A-okay, we should get restin' now.

Bunsen:
Good idea.
*Yawns a little*

Beaker:
Meep.

Dr. Van Neuter:
I'mma stay up.
I want to do something.

Claudia:
Alright.

Bunsen:
I'm a light sleeper...
so you should keep it down to a
hush-hush.

Beaker:
*Nods*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Won't hear a thing.

Claudia:
Night.

Bunsen:
Night.

Beaker:
Meep.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Waffles...

Bert: (hiding behind a table) Cookie, please stop!
Ernie: Where's Bryan?
Bert: He went to eat dinner with his family, remember?
Cookie: Cookie dinner! Yum yum! *lip smack* *chomp chomp*
Ernie: It's no use, Bert! We may have to call Super Grover!
Bert: Super Grover?
Ernie: Uh huh.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
The chomping...

Claudia:
Cookies...

Beaker:
Meep.

Cookie: (picks up the basket, full of the books and yo-yo, which has been covered with chocolate and nuts)
Ernie: Cookie Monster, no! That's not a...
Cookie: (eats the basket)
Bert: That was one of my favorite peices of literature. Two Flew Over the Pigeon's Nest. *sighs*
Cookie: Urp!

[BEAR]

Bert: Do you think he's had his fill?
Ernie: I dunno!
Cookie: (sniffs around and follows the sweet scent to the bedroom door where some of the occupants are) *sniff sniff* Cranberry...orange...chocolate chippie...
(Before the monster opens the door, suddenly a human hand reaches from behind Cookie Monster, grabs him by his furry blue neck and drags him out of the room. Bert and Ernie follow them leaving Erin's room an awful mess.)

Beth: Man am I sleepy, I think I need to go back to bed
Wanda: You've had alot going on lately. I'll make you some coffee
Beth: Thanks
Red: Are you going to come to the football game this weekend?
Beth: I'll sure try, I hate missing everything when I'm away from here
Mokey: We do understand though. Well, I'm off to poetry class.
Abby: Can you walk me to my class too?
Mokey: Of course I can, come on let's go *they leave*
Red: Well I'm not going to lay around the room all day, it's beautiful outside, I'm going out there! *She leaves*
Beth: Guess it's just you and me
Wanda: More coffee for the both of us
Beth: I'll drink to that!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(night before)

(door to Erin's room creaks open ever so slightly)

Scooter: Is he gone?
Nora: Don't know. I don't hear anything.
Beige: Wow, look at all those cookie crumbs.
Storyteller: (weeping) They're all over the carpet...
Erin: I don't see him - looks like his roommates reined him in.

(next morning)

Storyteller: Somebody get out the broom and the dustpan! And you there - get the upholstery cleaner! And the vacuum!
Beige: (muttering) She's gone mental.
Scooter: (muttering) I know - the crumbs are only on the surface.
Storyteller: Beige! Scooter! Stop muttering and make yourselves useful! (continues flying around the room) Oh, who had the foolish idea to make cookies in the first place?
Erin: (cleaning up various utensils) As I recall, it was you, Storyteller.
Nora: Yeah - you told Erin to take a break from the books and do some baking.
Storyteller: Hmmm...you're right. Excuse me. (goes into hut and slams door)
Scooter: Wow - when she's angry like that she reminds me a bit of Miss Piggy.
Erin: Relax, she'll be all right in a bit. Nora, you want to put that mixing bowl away?
Nora: Sure...but what do we do about Cookie Monster?
Erin: (shrugs) What do you expect, he's Cookie Monster. When you're making cookies in a place where the occupants are avid cookie eaters, it's to be expected.
Beige: So you're not angry?
Erin: No. A little surprised, maybe, but not angry.
Nora: And at least it shows that our culinary skills are appreciated.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
Oh, finally something good
happens. I've tired myself to sleep
seeing the same old results.

You're still in one piece and not
even a hair on your head out of place!
I smell success!

Beaker:
Mee meemee meemee!
*Pats himself in search of missing limbs/parts*
Checkmeep!

Claudia:
It's true!
Oh gosh!
I think...

Bunsen:
This may seem like a bizzare
theory, but I fear we may be coming to
a sudden end to life itself.

Dr. Van Neuter:
I'm too young to die.
I mean, why'd you say that
anyway?

Claudia:
He did something right!
That's a sign of Judgement day!
End of the world!

Beaker:
*Sinks his head into the opening of his lab coat*
Meemeee?

*They find themeselves floating*

Bunsen:
Scratch that.
We're saved.

Claudia:
Gosh darnit.

Adam: Areblackburnwinning?

Boppity: Uh.... *cringes* no, its 1-0 to Larissa, 3-0 on aggregate

(seriously, Blackburn losing to a greek side 3-0? Im not happy)

Big Bird: Is Bryan home yet?
Ernie: No, he's still at Hooper's.
(moaning and sobbing noise are heard from the master bedroom which has been barred and locked)
Snuffy: (peaking thru the livingroom window) What's that noise?
Bert: Cookie Monster. Bryan locked him in the bedroom after what happened last night. I feel so bad for Erin. She probably needs help cleaning up.
Ernie: Good idea, Bert. See you when you get back!
Bert: Ernie...
Ernie: Coming! (follows his pal to help clean up Erin's place)

[Erine81981]

*runs up to Claudia room* OPEN UUUUUP!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
O_O Hmmm?

Bunsen:
Well? go ahead.

Claudia:
Alrighty.

*Opens the door to see Kyle*
Yeah?
*Blinks*
Hiii!

[The Count]

*Radar blip goes off in our room.
Count: Ah, that's 0 G's! 0 G's in Claudia's room!
*Glomp alert! Glomp alert!
Count: Magnificent, that's 2 glorious glomp alerts! *Laughs, then realizes... Oh, that means she's about to glomp someone close to vhere she is currently at. Look out Kyle!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Big Bird: Is Bryan home yet?
Ernie: No, he's still at Hooper's.

Bert: Ernie...
Ernie: Coming! (follows his pal to help clean up Erin's place)

Erin: I'll get it. (opens door) Oh, hi guys, come on in...no, we've gotten it all cleaned up, don't worry.
Scooter: So what's going on with Cookie Monster?
Erin: Locked in the bedroom? Poor guy...but don't worry, we're not angry at him.
Scooter: Er...well, at least most of us aren't.
Nora: Yeah, we'd keep him away from Storyteller for a bit if we were you. (points to Storyteller's hut, the door of which is locked) She's a little out of sorts, to put it mildly.
Beige: I had no idea she was such a neat freak.
Erin: Then I'm amazed she didn't flip over the state of my room. (pause) I'll get the kettle boiling, and does anyone feel like eating anything?

[The Count]

*Finishes reading the news about the new upcoming Sesame Street DVD. Huh... So that now means that both Elmo and Rosita come from military families. This'll probably strengthen the bond between her and Kathy, as they'll have more in common and more to talk about. Hope she gets to see this. And I certainly hope she enjoys herself at the Bowzer concert.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*Refrains from cackling*
Another victim!
I mean, yeah?

Bunsen:
Clever.

Claudia:
Yup, I'm ruined.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Hah.

[Erine81981]

AHHHHHHHHHH! *jumps and glomps Claudia* HA! That's what you get. Haha! *walks away* Now to never get glomped ever again. *gets glomped again*

Herry: *gets off floor from glomping me* How was that?

Did you get the number on that hairy monster? *falls back over*

Herry: That's the last time you glomp me.

*gets up* What? I didn't ever glomp you.

Herry: You mean it wasn't you?

Nope. I don't like glomping people. But i did get back Claudia for all those times she did it to me.

Herry: Sorry Kyle. I didn't know.

It's alright Herry. We'll catch the glomper who's been.....glomping.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*Shakes*
I've been-en-en...

Bunsen:
Glomped...
*Pales*

Beaker:
MEEEEOOOO!
*Faints*

Dr. Van Neuter:
*Faints as well*

Claudia:
I-I-I...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Erine81981]

*hears Claudia scream* Uh we better get back to our room before we get even more glomp-ed.

Herry: I'm with you.

We both run back to our room and shut the door

Herry: *breathing hard* Boy that was a long run.

*breathing hard too* Yes it was.

Bruce: Hey guys. What's up?

Nothing new. And you?

Bruce: Just fring some popcorn chicken and fries.

Mmmmm sounds good.

Herry: I am sarving.

Bruce: Good. I'll have it ready soon.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
*Floating around Beaker, Dr. Van Neuter, and Claudia lazily*

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing

Claudia:
*Freaked out as she floats through the hallway*
That song...

Bunsen:
Is it raining? Is it snowing? Is a hurricane a'blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing

Are the fires of heck a'glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?

Yes!

Beaker:
*Shakes*

Bunsen:
The danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing!

Claudia:
EEEEEEE!
*Bumps against the walls*

Dr. Van Neuter:
That works everytime.
That song just sends Claudia running!
...or floating...

Bunsen:
I know.
*Taunts her*

Claudia:
EEEEE!

[Erine81981]

*jumps into Herry's arms* D-d-did you hear that?

Herry: Yep.

This is getting creepy.

Herry: And scary.

Bruce: Are you two alright?

Herry & Me: Yea.

Herry: *puts me down* We are o-o-ook.

Yea. Nothing to do with me glomping Claudia. Not at all.

Bruce: Did you just saying glomping Claudia?

No! Not at all.

Herry: No he didn't.

Bruce: Yea he did. You glomped the glomper?

Ok i did. But i wasn't trying to be mean. She does it alot to others. Why not back at her with her own medicine.

Bruce: Don't worry. I can stop her from glomping you.

Herry: And me too. I glomped Kyle thinking he did it to me.

Bruce: Ok. I'll get her to stop.

Thank you so very much Bruce.

Herry: Yea.

We both throw our selfs on the floor and kiss Bruce's feet

Yuck. Hairy.

[Katzi428]

Rosita:Kath....you busy?
Never busy for you,Rosita. Have a seat. putting my book down and patting a place next to me on the couchYou all right?
Rosita:Well..no,not really.See this picture?she hands me a picture of her an adult blue male monster dressed in an Army outfit and smiling happily.
Ah...that's your papi! He's pretty handsome!You look kind of like him.
Rosita:Thanks. tears well up in her eyesbut he was hurt in the war a few months ago.So now he's in a wheelchair!she starts to cry :cry:
Oh Rosita!hugging her Honey,I'm sorry.
Rosita: Thanks snif I hate that thing though!And I hate the person who did this to Papi!
Attagirl...let it all out...holding her & stroking her fur I don't blame you for being angry at the person who caused your father to get hurt.But even though your father's in a wheelchair doesn't mean he doesn't love you any less. He still has plenty of love for you right here pointing to Rosita's heart I could tell when I went to Sesame Street with everyone.The way he sang that Spanish song to you. And he told me that he wouldn't trade his pequeña Rosita for all the money in the world!
Rosita:He really said that?
Cross my heart.crossing my heart
Rosita:Thank you Kathy.Even though I don't like his wheelchair,he gives me rides on his lap sometimes & we go around.
Sounds great!A little father and daughter bonding!
Rosita:Yeah.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Scooter: (looking up) Sounds like Rosita's upset.
Nora: Yeah, her dad got hurt pretty badly. Let's go and check in on her.

(meanwhile)

Erin: (outside Storyteller's hut) Storyteller, come on, we don't like seeing you angry. Why don't you go forgive Cookie Monster? He was just doing what he does best.
Beige: Yeah, and being angry all the time isn't healthy...unless you're Oscar.
Erin: No, Oscar's not angry...he's just grouchy. There's a difference.

(door opens; Storyteller steps out, takes a deep breath and heads off to Bryan's room)

[Katzi428]

Scooter: (looking up) Sounds like Rosita's upset.
Nora: Yeah, her dad got hurt pretty badly. Let's go and check in on her.


hearing a knock at the door
Hi Scooter and Nora!Good to see you both.:)
Rosita:Hola Nora and Scooter.You feeling better,Scooter?You look it.

[Erine81981]

Herry: I hope that Bruce don't get glomped.

I hear yea. Maybe we need to go with him?

Herry: You want to go to the girl who glomped you?

Ok. We won't. I just hope that Bruce isn't going to get hurt for trying to help us out.

Herry: Don't worry. Bruce will be alright.

Over at Claudia's room..........

Bruce: *knocks on Claudia's door* Hello? Is anyone there?

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Scooter: I'm feeling great! (says this with trademark arm flex)
Nora: We heard that your dad's been injured, so we came by to check in.
Scooter: Let's see...wow, a wheelchair...but at least he's alive, and he's able to give you rides.
Nora: You know, one of my uncles is in a wheelchair. He used to give me and my siblings rides when we were little.
Scooter: Really? I didn't know that.
Nora: It was a long time ago - only Heather is still small enough, and Uncle Brad's teasing her about getting too big. (to Rosita) Don't fret, Ros. He may be in a wheelchair, but he's still your dad through and through. Okay?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
*Floats into Kathy's room*
We heard of your father's condition.
I wish I could do something about it.
I could...
but that'd be risky. We don't want a Bionic man having malfunctions
here and there.
*Smiles wryly*

Claudia:
*Floats in*
Yeah, he'd explode yo-

Beaker:
*Scolds Claudia*

Claudia:
Sorry.
I know everything will be ok, Rosita.

Nice muscle flex there,Scoot! I'll tell you know who in December that he's got some competition!;)

Herry: What's worng?

Yea? You look like you've seen a ghost.

Bruce: *white as a sheet and breath hard*

Herry: *snaps figures at Bruce* Hello? Anyone there? Uh oh. Claudia got to him! He's been glomped to death that he can't speak.

Herry & Me: We're Next! *holds each other and screams*

Rosita:What?Claudia started it!
Yeesh! scrunching up my face like Kermit. OK..you win.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Scooter: Tell me more about your uncle.
Nora: Uncle Brad? Well, he got into an accident when he was a teenager. But that didn't stop him from being reckless and all that.
Scooter: I see.
Nora: They used to call him No-Brakes Brad.

[The Count]

Yes... October does share it's time as Hispanic Heritage Month.
UD: I rather prefer it as the month of monsters.
Confidentially, me too Uncle Deadly.

And Erin'sname in Spanish would still be "Erin", but I give you an A sis.
*Hands out an A to the floating Claudia.
Count: And don't forget, today's number of the day is 16.
*He plays the note that triggers the sixteen to come, and a 16 acting like a pageant queen comes into the room to accept her Number of the Day honors.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Alrighty Eddie.
*Pokes him*
An A...
*Eats it*

Bunsen:
You were not supposed to eat that...

Claudia:
.....*Bites into it again*

[Erine81981]

*looks out the door*

Herry: Is everything clear?

Kinda of.

Herry: Kinda of?

Yea. It's HER! *slams door shut*

Herry: What was she doing?

Looks to be eatting something.

Herry: Oh no. She's a vampire ghost. This isn't going to be the funnest halloween. It's going to be the.....

Both: Scariest! *scream*

[The Count]

Take it easy Kyle... She was just eating an A.

*To Claudia: And there'll be no more A's for you young lady until you give Sanguina her drink of blood. She needs some color back in her... Especially some nice rich red.

(Cookie Monster is sitting on the bed)
Bryan: (pacing back and forth) I can't believe it...I just can't believe it...
Cookie: Me so sorry!
Bryan: Cookie Monster, what got into you?
Cookie: They were making cookie after cookie and cookies me favorite! Me Coookie Monster!
Bryan: That's for sure.
Cookie: Me just no can control tummy!
Bryan: Cookie Monster, you have caused some unbelievable havoc in the past, and usually we just excuse it, but this time you went too far. Do you realize what a mess you made in Erin's room?
Cookie: Me go help clean it up. Yeah!
Bryan: Well, I think it's too late for that. They've already cleaned up your mess.
Cookie: Oh.
Bryan: But I'm afraid you're going to have to be punished.
Cookie: P-p-punished?
Bryan: Now, I want you to go down and apologize to Erin and her roommates.
Cookie: Okay...that easy.
Bryan: That's not the punishment.
Cookie: Whah?
Bryan: You will be off-limits to cookies for an entire week.
Cookie: Off-limits? You mean, no cookies? (starts to cry)
Bryan: No cookies.
Cookies: For entire week?
Bryan: The whole week.
Cookie: But me Cookie Monster. Cookies me primary diet.
Bryan: Well, then I guess you'll have to go on a different diet. And on top of that...no cakes, pies, or any other sweet pastries of any kind, just to be sure you've truly learned your lesson.
Cookie: (throws himself down at my feet sobbing) No, you no can do this!
Bryan: I'm sorry, Cookie, but right now I'm afraid you nor your appetite can be trusted. This is for your own good. Have I made myself clear?
Cookie: *Gulp* Yes. (head is down)
Bryan: Good. Actually, it's probably too late for you to go to their room now. They're probably already in bed, exhausted from cleaning up your mess. So it's best that you go to sleep too. I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight, Cookie Monster. (leaves the room)
Cookie: No...cookies. It going to be long week. *sigh*

(A bit later...)
Bryan: (Opening the door) Oh hi, Storyteller. Look, I am so sorry about what happened. Don't worry, I will see to it that it doesn't happen again. Cookie Monster is already in bed, but I know he has something to say to you.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: (sigh) The others say it's okay, that he's all forgiven. They sent me up to make it five out of five. (pause) I guess I kind of took this morning the wrong way.

(back at room 7)

Scooter: So they've got him on a cookies-free diet for a whole week?
Beige: Wow - but, Bryan's the boss, he knows best.
Nora: But still - poor Cookie Monster.
Erin: I know...this is going to be a little rough on him.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Cookie monster?
No cookies?
*Packs some cookies in a bag*
*Gets some of Bunsen's spy gadgets*
*Ties the bag around her belt*
I'mma save you Cookie!
Time for Claudita to spoil someone!
But first...
*Sees Bunsen sleeping*
Shoot, Is he really sleeping?
Great...now to go an-

Bunsen:

And what do you think you're doing?

Claudia:

Mee mee mee.
Meeeee.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Somebody got caught.

Claudia:
Hey, if Bryan can set things for
his roomates...
*Smiles coyly*
So can I.
*Sticks out tounge*

Bunsen:
Sorry m'dear but this is a differrent case.
You're just a little younger than us.

Dr. Van Neuter:
By a couple of decades.
*Snickers*

Beaker:
*Stifles laughter*

Bunsen:
Don't remind me.

Claudia:
Someone's getting olllddddd!

Bunsen:
Someone's being a smartypants...
and should be sent on a cookie-free weeeeeekkk...

Claudia:
*Shakes and cries*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Look what you did.

Beaker:
*Pats her on the back*
Meeem meemeee!

Bunsen:
Since when have I become the villain and she the helpless
innocent?

Dr. Van Neuter:
You made a kid cry...

Beaker:
Meee mee meee!

Bunsen:
Oh, how unjust!
You two fall for her devious tricks.
Her manipulative ways!
Just watch her choke you by the neck when you're
not looking...
Yes..

Claudia:
*Laughs in a demonic voice*
Erherm...
*Cries*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Tsk to you Bunsen!

[The Count]

OK guys... Count, do a head count and make sure everybody's got their assignments. Uncle Deadly, you talk to your boss and see if he can help us with some monster magics. Today the plans will start... And everybody will have a howling good time.
*Evil laughter echoes throughout our room.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Boy, did you hear the mess poor Cookie Monster got himself into?
Mokey: Yeah, I can't believe no cookies for a week. It's for his own good though
Wanda: Yeah, Bryan knows best though, this will be good for him
Abby: I feel bad for him though, cookies are his favorite thing
Beth: Yes, but when we do things that are wrong, sometimes we have to learn a lesson
Red: Besides, Bryan did only say no cookies right? So it's not like he can't eat at all
Beth: Anyway, we need to get our robe ideas to Ed pretty soon I think. You guys want to work on that?
Roomies: Sure!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
Haunting fun, all in one.
*Hears Eddie and co. cackling*

Claudia:
A sharp trait belonging to
my older brother. This month
is his time to scarify!

Dr. Van Neuter:
And what's your month?

Claudia:
The month of love, babe.

Bunsen:
Seems fitting.

Beaker:
*Pops up from under the table*
BOOOOOO!

*The three scream*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *lounging on the couch watching TV* So Cookie Monster can't eat cookies... and I thought the government would be the one to do that to him, not Bry!
Clifford: Heh heh, well I think it could be a good thing. You know I haven't had a cookie myself since Cookie Monster's moved in here? They've always been gone!
Ryan: *smirks* Now be nice Cliff, don't make me take away your sunglasses for a week.
Clifford: Yeah, you could try that. But I know monsters, man, big monsters.
Ryan: Good point.
Clifford: So what are we doin' today?
Ryan: No idea. I've got nothing to do as of right now...
Gonzo: *bursts into Dorm room* Ryan! Clifford! I accidentally boiled the pool water!
Link: *pokes head out of bedroom door* Ryan, is it bad if the floor is cracking?
Sam: Ryan! I need you to help me alphabetize my grievances against these weirdos.
Ryan: ...Looks like my day just filled up.

Red: *pounding on the door to Ryan's room*: Where is he? I know he did this to my pool! Gonzo!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
MEEE MEEE MEEE!
*Joins with Red's protest as he was just in the pool as well*

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: Ooh! They sound angry! And that could be painful! Whoo! *starts to run outside*
Ryan: *grabs Gonzo by shirt color* Uh, no. *hands Gonzo to Clifford* Hold this. Alright, Sam, if you want my help, I need yours.
Sam: Hmph, how so?
Ryan: *opens door* *shoves Sam outside into hallway* Stall 'em! Alright, Link, Gonzo, Clifford, I need ice, and lots of it.

[redBoobergurl]

Red: Well bird, what do you have to say? Where's the weirdo? Huh? I know he did this to the pool!

[theprawncracker]

Sam: Erm... *ahem* Well... have you ever read the United States Constitution? If not, I could recite it for you on whim.

(Big Bird, Bert and Ernie are all sitting around the table waiting for breakfast, Bryan is in the kitchen area cooking)
Big Bird: No cookies? But they're his favorite!
Ernie: Yeah, are you sure this is gonna work?
Bryan: I dunno, but it's worth a shot. It's for his own good.
Bert: Bryan's right. Cookie Monster needs discipline. He was way out of control.
Cookie: (comes out of his room) Hi.
Bryan: Good morning, Cookie Monster.
Big Bird: Hi, Cookie! You can sit right here next to me.
Bryan: I hope you're hungry.
Cookie: Oh, what we having?
Big Bird: Well, I'm having Birdseed Krispies. It's my favorite cereal. (pours cereal in a bowl. (I pour the milk for him)
Cookie: Hmm...interesting.
Bert: Bryan, is my oatmeal ready?
Bryan: Coming right up!
Bert: I love my oatmeal. It sticks to your ribs! Eh-eh-eh-eh!
Cookie: Oatmeal?
Bert: Yeah, you should try it.
Ernie: Oatmeal, Bert? No way. Cookie Monster, waffles are faaar tastier than any oatmeal.
Cookie: Oooh!
Bryan: No, cookie. You're not getting waffles.
Cookie: No? What me get? Soft boiled cookie, right? Or maybe fried cookie? Yeah yeah yeah!
Bryan: No cookies, remember?
Cookie: Oh yeah.
Bryan: But I have something else that you just might like that's a great breakfast food.
Cookie: What is it?
Bryan: A bowl of fresh fruit and buttered toast. (puts it on the table in front of him)
Cookie: Fruit? Any chocolate covered strawberry?
Bryan: Nope. Just straight fruit (giggles to himself at the weird oxy-moron he just made up) Anyway...eat up!
Cookie: Me have to eat this?
Bryan: Unless you'd rather have Birdseed Krispies.
Ernie: You should try it, Cookie Monster. You might like it.
Bert: Yeah, fruit is good for you. (puts some raisins and bananas in his oatmeal)
Cookie: (scrunches up face and does his best to try the fruit)

Ernie: Hey, Bert, let's go swimming!
Bert: Didn't you hear, Ernie? The pool boiled over. It's all hot and bubbling.
Ernie: Ooh, you hear that, Rubber Duckie? Like a giant bathtub!
Rubber Duckie: *Sqeak squeak squeak squeak*
Ernie: You're right! Let's go!

[theprawncracker]

Sam: Please, people, you must understand, it is not I that has caused your precious pool to be boiled. It is the fault of my roommate the weirdo. Take it out on him, not I, madame pigtails, not I!

Sweetums: *takes Bean back to his room to bandage him up*

Ryan: Oh boy, they're getting violent...
Gonzo: Oh boy! They're getting violent!
Ryan: *frowns* Clifford, have we iced down the pool yet?
Clifford: We're tryin' too man! But it keeps meltin' on our way out.

Alex, calm yourself.
Mr. Ryan probably has a reasonable explaination

(In the bubbling pool)

Ernie: Me too! Khekhekhe! (Sees Clifford throwing ice in the pool) Hey, what are you doing?

[The Count]

*Arriving home...

OK guys, everything set?
UD: Yes, even that fool Gonzo helped by turning the pool into a big boiling bubbling jacuzzi-styled cauldron.
Count: Sad about Cookie Monster though, you'll have to talk to Bryan to see if he can shorten the penalty for good behavior. After all, ve vill need Cookie's help and I vouldn't vant him to be the only one without cake on Tuesday.
Good. Got some chocolates and Snickers and M&M's for the candy skull... Gotta fill it up and then we can start...

Count has the videos counting them all, the ones selected for tonight.
Me: Welcome to the MC Dorms 2007 Halloween. This year, we'll be celebrating in style.

*Flips a switch that turns the dormhouse into a haunted house.
There are jack o'lantern shells on each room's doorknockers, spider webs hanging from the ceiling crooks and cracks, and creepy candles connected to each other along the wall that turn on and off by themselves. And of course, plenty of bats!
Count: Enough for me to count all night long!
And what's more, we'll be having a movie night each Frightday night. This week, the bats rule the roost, vampire movies and Batman movies and even some episodes of Buffy and Angel too.

But the real surprise will come gradually, Uncle Deadly still has to spook with his boss... The costume assignments will be posted later. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message or a bat-gram, have fun and pleasant screams to all!

Grover: Did you hear that Cookie Monster can not have no more cookies for a whole week?

Herry: Who told him?

Grover: Bryan. He told Cookie no more for a week.

Herry: Oh boy. I hope he can do it.

Grover: Me too. Wanna go for a swim?

Herry: Sure.

They both head out the door down to the pool but is stop by Murray

Murray: I wouldn't go down there. The pool is filled with soap sud and a guy and his rubber duckie.

Grover: Ernie's down there?

Murray: Yep.

Herry: Then why can't we go down there. If its just Ernie he won't care.

Murray: Not for what happened to Bean.

Grover: The cute bunny? What happened?

Murray: Almost fried.

Herry & Grover: Fried?

Murray: Yea. I over heard that Gonzo boiled it over. So it was steaming hot and not good for a swim. You could get hurt bad.

Grover: That poor cute bunny. That weirdo should watch what he is doing.

Herry: Thanks Murray.

Murray: Welcome. I'm trying to help them. Wanna help?

Herry & Grover: Sure.

Bert: Ernie, get out of the pool! It's too hot and you'll get hurt!
Ernie: Relax, Bert. Some of the guys threw some ice in to cool it down a bit. Now it's just right. Don't these fluffy suds look fun?
Bert: You put bubble bath in the pool?
Ernie: Of course!
Bert: But, Ernie, people have to be able to swim in that pool. You can't have soap in there! What's Ed gonna say?
Ernie: You worry too much, ol' buddy. Besides, this is nothing compared to what Cookie Monster did the other night.
Bert: True...
Ernie: I already invited some of the gang down to join me.
Bert: The gang?
Ernie: Yeah. You know, Grover and Herry and all those guys. Even Mr. Snuffleupagus could use a bath and this is the perfect size for him! Khekhekhe! Oh, here they come now. Come on in, guys!
(A whole parade of Muppets and a few adventurous human residents burst in and take a chance at the refurbished pool...including Snuffy...*BOOM BOOM BOOM*)

Ryan: *walking through the Dorms wearing his bathing suit* Well, I've gotta admit, one of Gonzo's stunts finally paid off.
Clifford: *also in bathing suit* Yeah dude, it's just to bad Alex and Red could get to him before we could tell them about the awesome suds Ernie put in.
Ryan: Too bad? I think Gonzo enjoyed the pounding the girls gave him.
Clifford: Good point.
Link: But why do we have to go swimming at night? No one can see my muscular form.
Clifford: That's why we're goin' at night.
Ryan: *shakes head* *walks outside to the pool* KOWABUNGA! *jumps in*

Bryan: Enjoy your bath, Bert?
Bert: Very funny.
Cookie: (Coming out of bedroom)
Bryan: What's the matter, Cookie Monster?
Cookie: Me can't sleep. Can me please have some milk and cookies before bed?
Bryan: You know the rules. No cookies for 6 more days.
Cookie: But it always put me to sleep.
Bert: I can brew you some tea, Cookie Monster.
Cookie: You going to cook letter T?
Bert: No, not the letter T. I'll make you tea to drink.
Cookie: Oh.
Bert: It sometimes helps me go to sleep. Of course, it doesn't usually last long with Ernie in the next bed.
Cookie: Okay. It no milk and cookie, but me give it a try.
Bert: Careful, it's hot.
Cookie: (Takes mug and sips from it) Blech! What in here? Water and a little baggy on string. That not very satisfying.
Bert: I'm sorry, Cookie Monster.
Cookie: It not your fault, Bert. Thanks anyway. (goes back to bed)
Bert: He's not very happy.
Bryan: I know. Don't you think I feel bad too? Ed wants me to ease off on the punishment a bit, but I think I'm gonna give it just a little more time. Cookie needs to learn. We'll see how he does this weekend. In the meantime, did you hear about the Halloween festivities?
Bert: Oh yeah! I wonder what will happen?
Bryan: I'm sure we'll find out very soon.

[The Count]

Well... I didn't say to completely eliminate his punishment. Just see how he's doing after a few days, and if he's shown good behavior model citizenship under the conditions, well, the decision is ultimately yours Bry. Ooh, I think I'll need some hot chocolate to take away these chills.

Ernie: T. And by the number...
RD: *Squeak* (a number 7 in the shape of soap suds is also seen)

Herry: Oh i had the funnest time ever. But poor Cookie asking everyone if they had cookies.

I know. I was really tempted to give him some but didn't want Bryan getting even angrier at him and then talking to me. And since i've was meaning to get Cookie Monster in shape back when he was with us. I am finally glad someone did.

Grover: Yea. Me too. How about we decorate some more.

Sounds fun to me.

Herry: I'm going to get some stuff i had my mommy send to me. I made some stuff when i was in the 3rd grade for halloween. I'm going to see if it has arrived yet. Be back. *walks to common area*

Prairie:I'm mad at somebody.
Oh boy.:rolleyes: What'd I do wrong now?
Prairie:Not you Kath.Bryan.
Because he banned Cookie Monster for eating you know whats for the next few days?
Prairie:Uh huh. Kath..Cookie can't help it if he loves those things so much.
Yes he can help himself Prairie. Look...I don't like the fact that Cookie's punished from eating them either.But trust me...Cookie'll find he's a better monster after his punishment is over.Remember all those things you made earlier this year and C.M went wild eating them?
Prairie: Uh huh.
Well...this punishment will give him time to think about the fact that every time he sees one of those things,he can't eat them. And please don't think of Bryan as mean. Bryan's a very nice person and you know it. He's let you Rosita and Gaffer stay with you dozens of times! When Gaffer got a bellyache and lost her Kitty Krispies on the rug,did Bryan get angry?
Prairie:Well...no.
There!You see? Bryan's a cool guy.And if I'm not mistaken,I'm sure he feels bad too about what he had to do about CM.
Prairie: All right...I'm not so mad anymore. Maybe CM would enjoy a nice fruit salad with peaches apples grapes and oranges.
Good thinking! Just ask Bryan first.:)

Bryan: Bert, would you please have Bernice send a note down to Ed?
Bert: Sure! (gives Bernice a message to take to Ed in room 1)

Cookie: Can me have snack?
Bryan: Sure. There's some rice cakes in the pantry.
Cookie: Cake? Ooooh! Oh boy oh boy! (grabs a rice cake out of the pantry sniffs it and munches it down) Blaech! It taste like cardboard! That not cake. Where frosting and sweet fluff texture?
Bryan: Sorry, Cookie Monster, but that's what you're getting. No sweets.
Cookie: But these things boring!
Bert: Boring? They're delicious!
Bryan: To each his own, I guess.
Big Bird: Hey, Bryan? Can we carve pumpkins for Halloween?
Bryan: Sure, Big Bird.
Big Bird: One of my favorite parts is eating the pumpkin seeds. You might like that, Cookie Monster. We can roast them.
Cookie: Hmmm...sounds exotic.
Big Bird: I dunno...they're just seeds, but they're yummy.
Bryan: We'll pick up some pumpkins next week.

[The Count]

Mmm... Pumpkin soup, pumpkin bread, and my fave of all... Pumpkin pie! And there'll be apple cider and devilled eggs and some ghoulish goodies to feast on when we get down to partying.
Count: Vill there be...
Of course, our trademark signature bat-burgers.
Count brightens at the thought.
Hey Bry, you could always ask Abby to conjure up some pumpkins for you.
*Aside: And I'd nix Cookie's access to the rice cakes, it's sort of self-defeating to his current ordeal if you know what I mean.

[BEAR]

Bryan: Good point on both counts, Ed. Big Bird, maybe we can ask Abby for some pumpkins.
Big Bird: Oh that's right! We'll ask Abby! It's what she does. I was thinking we could make special jack-o-lanterns with the Birdkateers. You think Abby would want to be an honerary Birdkateer?
Bryan: I don't see why not. Say, you never told me how things went with Sam Eagle.
Big Bird: He never came!
Bryan: Really?
Big Bird: Yeah, it was pretty disappointing.
Bryan: I'm sorry, Bird.
Big Bird: Maybe next time.

Claudia's door creaks open just a tad. A small glimpse of shadow can be seen passing through the room. The person belonging to the shadow quietly timewarps itself, unnoticed to the others in the room.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*Raises an eyebrow as she puts on her baby pink pajamas in the privacy of her bathroom. She hears the door creak open but does not budge from fright.*
Um, guys?
Guys this is not funny!
*Hears something strange and opens her door enough to catch a glow*
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
BUNNIE BUNNIE!

Bunsen:
*Comes in the room worriedly*
What is wrong?

Claudia:
*Points to where the glow took place*
POOF!

Bunsen:
Claudia, please calm down and let us discuss this over--I have this craving for tea.

Claudia:
Nooo nnoooo!

Beaker:
Meee?
*scratches head*

Dr. Van Neuter:
She's nuts.

Bunsen:
You've just realized?

Claudia:
*Grabs his hand and presses it against the wall scanner*
Let's just check...

*A television screen pops in front of them and only catches the glow rather than the identity*

Bunsen:
Someone has used the Time machine...
*Observes her quietly*
and that was you. You think you can
fool me so easily? I think not!

Claudia:
Bu-bu-but...

Bunsen:
No butts m'dear!

Claudia:
*Looks to Beaker*
You believe me right?

Beaker:
Nah-uhmeep!

Claudia:
*Looks to Dr. Van Neuter*

Dr. Van Neuter:
Um...I think I needed to perform surgery!
BYE!

Bunsen:
Silly Claudia.

Claudia:
*Growls*
IT WAS NOT MEEEEEE!

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: *walks into the room* Hey guys! How's it goin?

Bean: *playing Go Fish with Elmo* Not much. We're just waiting for dinner.

Sweetums: Oh. What're we having?

Bean: I don't know. Alex hasn't fixed it yet.

Elmo: Elmo is getting hungry. *looks down at his stomach* Sorry tummy! Not yet.

Sweetums: Where is Alex?

Bean: I don't know that either. She hasn't been around for a while. Probably went to go pick up some food. I hope...

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*Swings into Alex's room*
Getting food?
Missing?
How?

Bunsen:
Alrighty Claudia, leave the nice roomies alone.
How about we do Pi on the old chalk board?

Claudia:
NO!

Beaker:
*Gasps*
Mee.

Bunsen:
She suspects Alex having used my time machine but I do not see how that is possible. Ignore her cries and we'll be on our way! Come now, it's your bedtime!

Claudia:
I don't have a bedtime!

Bunsen:
Medication then.

Claudia:
I do not take medicine!

Bunsen:
O-of course you do...
*Clears throat*
we must away...

Claudia:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Bunsen:
*Tugs her to the exit*

[Erine81981]

Murray: Hey guys. I heard that Clauida has a time machine.

Herry: Oooo that sounds like fun.

Murray: What is a time machine?

Herry: It's a machine that is spoused to travel through time. You can visit the past back before you were even born.

Grover: You remember the G-Man's time machine that he had.

Herry: Yep. Those were some fun times.

Bruce: Let's go try it out.

All four monster races to Claudia's room and knock down the door and into the time machine

Grover: How does it work?

Murray: Like i know?

Bruce: Just hit some buttons.

Herry: Sounds like a plan to me.

So Grover starts pressing all the button which makes zaps them out of the room and into god knows where

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*Spots a few figures rushing to her room*
Bunnie!
*Points*

Bunsen:
Wait, it's highly unstable!
There is a terrible liability you may
never come back! Do not enter any strange portals!
No wait!

Oh, my experiments cause nothing
but trouble! This is too devastating!

Claudia:
*Frowns*
That's not true...

Bunsen:
Do not speak!
I won't tolerate this! Pure folly!
Do not encourage me to look
at the bright side!
There is no bright side!
Come! We will get these troublemakers
back! My paitience has been tested!
No more! I will not have it!

Claudia:
Bunnie, Bunnie, remember--high blood pressure!
*Hugs him lightly*

Bunsen:
Yes...
must relax..
*Inhales*
*Exhales*

How should you suggest something so
idiotic? Must you always be so narrow minded?

Claudia:
You're pushing it!
*Smacks him*

Bunsen:
*Stumbles back*
Thank you.
I needed that.
I did not mean what I said...

Claudia:
Yeah yeah cut the shmuck.
*Snugs*

Bunsen:
*Breathes*
Alrighty, Beaker pass me the time radar.
We must track them down and return them
to this time safley.

Beaker:
MEEP!
*Worries over Alex*
*Snickers and tries to take Kyle off the radar*

Claudia:
Don't even think about it Romeo!

Beaker:
Meee?

Claudia:
Yes you.

Beaker:
*Snaps his fingers*

*They timewarp themselves to the 1800's as a start*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Hey Sam, I just found a note for you under the pillow on the couch.
Sam: *snatches note* Hmm? What is this? *reads it* *gasps loudly*
Ryan: *jumps* What's wrong?
Sam: Mister Big Bird would absolutely love it if I joined his highly exclusive and dignified club! Oh, oh this is just- oh!
Ryan: Oh, you mean the Birdkateers.
Sam: *shifty eyes* How do you know of the club?
Ryan: There are posters up for it all around the Dorms.
Sam: But... it's supposed to be an exclusive organization for only the most dignified and sincere of birds- such as myself.
Ryan: Um, I hate to tell you this Sam, but anyone can join Birdkateers, not just birds.
Sam: *loud gasp* NO!
Ryan: Yup.
Sam: But the title is so... so... misleading!
Ryan: It's just a friendly little club, Sam.
Sam: But it holds a dignified position in this establishment, does it not?
Ryan: Well, it's one of the few clubs we have here...
Sam: I... am not following.
Ryan: Let me put this simply, Sam, this is like joining a... oh how do I put this into a context you'd understand...
Sam: By tying in American history of course.
Ryan: This wouldn't be like joining Congress or the Senate, this would be more like joining... the city government.
Sam: ...So it is a governmental club! Oh! How delightful! I must go tell mister Big Bird that I would absolutely love to join!
Ryan: *rolls eyes* Whatever Sam, just do it tomorrow, it's late.
Link: *pokes head out of covers* It is late, now would you keep it down?
Clifford: Seriously...
Ryan: *shakes head* *turns out light* Night gang.

[Beakerfan]

Somewhere in the 1950's....

Alex: So, Marylin, where's a girl go to shop around here?

Marylin Monroe: Oh hon, I know the perfect dress shop! I'll take ya there.

The two get in Marylin's limo and go shopping.


Later.....

Marylin: Oh, doesn't that dress just look gorgeous on you?

Alex: *wearing a white glittery halter top dress* Thank you! It's been a real pleasure shopping with you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date.... *kisses Marylin's cheek and gets in a taxi*

[The Count]

Hey Ryan... If you need help explaining the Birdkateers to Sam, remember Camilla's a member, so she can break it to him in a language he'd understand I guess.
Oh well. *Gets the bats into their belfry chamber for their daily rest. Though I'm up early to get my little ones to bed, I'm really not much of a mourning person.
*Small chuckle.

[BeakerSqueedom]

(Yesterday)

*They come with dresses and such*

Claudia:
This gown, corset too tight!
Can't breathe!

Bunsen:
I rather like the wig.
*Pats hair*

Beaker:
*With a ponytail*
Mee meee!

Claudia:
You guys look so much like you did in MTI--I'm serious!
*Face red*
Circulation...ugh!

Bunsen:
The radar indicates that we go further.
Wrong time! Oppsie!


Claudia:
PLEASE!
*Tries to care for her curly hair*
I love the hair though.

Bunsen:
Pretty.

(Today)

Claudia:
Your radar stinks!
We have not found Alex or any of the others...
Eddie is gonna murder me.

Bunsen:
Not really.
I did invent this so it's my fault.
*Sigh*
Ah well! We continue forth!

Claudia:
To what year?

Bunsen:
To the time where Elvis gained the title as "The King of Rock!".

Claudia:
1950's?

Bunsen:
Mhhmmm.

Claudia:
Oh, I'll see Charles again very soon.
;)

[Beakerfan]

Last night....

Alex: Bogey, that was a wonderful dinner! I've never been to a restaurant quite like that before!

Humphrey Bogart: Yes, well I'm glad you enjoyed it. *opens the door to his limo for her*

They go back to Alex's hotel, where Bogey kisses her goodnight and promises to see her the next day.

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

Today.....

Alex: *wearing a light-pink Monroe style dress, curls her hair while she waits for Humphrey to come pick her up at her hotel*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*Jumps in the air*
EEEEE! I LOVE YOU!

Charlie Chaplin:
*Wobble wobble*
The woman who haunts my sleepless nights!

Claudia:
HEEHEE!

Bunsen and Beaker:
*Drags her away*
---

Claudia:
I'm hungry--we never ate!

Bunsen:
Yes, you've got your wallet right?

Claudia:
Yeah and you?

Bunsen:
Yes.
Right here.
*Waves it a little bit*

Beaker:
Meee.
*Hugs a picture of Alex*

Claudia:
Awww.

Bunsen:
She's nearby.
*Presses a button on the radar*
In a hotel...

Claudia:
*Looks to two hotels*
Which one?

Bunsen:
I suggest we split.

Claudia:
I tag you!
Beaker goes to the other hotel.

Beaker:
MEEP!

Bunsen:
That settles it then!
Now, how to get in is the question...

Beaker:
Meee...
---

Beaker:
*Goes to where Alex remains*
Meee..meee..meee
*Sneaks around*

---

[Beakerfan]

Humphrey: *knocks on Alex's door*

Alex: *opens door* Oh come in!

[The Count]

*In the 1950's...

UD: Those fools have made me trace their tracks through time again. And now I have to find four furry monsters before they scare the populus... Not to mention a melon-headed scientist, his tube-headed assistant, that friendly taxidermist, and two girls who weren't even born for another good generation and a half from now. Hope this gives Ryan enough impetus to update that story where this sort of history repeated itself...
*Moves on to the hotels from the other side, unrealizing his search is closer than he would care to suspect.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
*Feels a chilling presence neaby, a very familiar one too*
Meee?
*Spots the phantomly dragon and gulps*
Meee mee mee mee?

Bunsen:
No sign of her.

Claudia:
OH SNAP!
I see Eddie's roomate.
DEATH!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Um, where are we?

Bunsen:
Oh dear.
We sure are in trouble now.
I was hoping he wouldn't come along.

Claudia:
ALEX! TIME TO GO BACK TO '07!

*They get stares*

Bunsen:
You really are airheaded...

Claudia:
Hff.

Random person:
Have you tried Harry Krishna?

Claudia:
Eddie says it--now some guy says it!
*Mutters*

Bunsen:
I fear for my life right now.

Claudia:
Yeah, the dead dude is coming to kick our behinds!

Dr. Van Neuter:
You got it sister!
