[Gloat]

Adam: *running down the corridors* Guys! Where are ya?

Gloat: Right behind you

Adam: *turns to se Gloat, perfectly normal Gloat* Oh, there you are. Now listen to me....

*Gloat doesnt move*

Adam: I said listen..! *notices him not moving or talking at all* Dont do this! E;se your gonna straight back to the room *no answer, Adam pokes his chest expecting a responce, but Gloat just fall backwards, Adam realises it isnt Ghim, just a fake* Alright, now stop this guys, i dont wanna have to say this, but you're scaring me!...

*the light above start flickering and haunting noises are heard*

Adam: Oh fine, go on and scare people, see if i care when you get kicked out *walks back towards the dorm room, as he dissapears round a corner, the shadows dissapear, leaving Boppity and Gloat standing alone in the corridor*

Boppity: Yes! I knew we could scare him

Gloat: We sure did!

Boppity: What do we do now?

Gloat: Just as we planned, we're going to scare EVERYONE!

*the shadows reappear around them, covering them in darkness*

Gloat: How did we get this shadow thingy anyway?

Boppity: B&Q, the most evil of convenience stores

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Elmo, have you seen Bean or Sweetums anywhere?
Elmo: *dressed as a pirate* Arrgh, Elmo has not seen those two scallywags for nary a day!
Alex: Ok..... I think you would have made a better Munchkin. You're somewhat frightening as a pirate.
Elmo: Aye lass, but isn't that the idea?
Alex: I'm gonna go find Bean..... *walks out into the hall*

Bean: *wearing a red vest and black bowtie, running down the hall with a birthday cake*
Alex: Bean, where are you going?
Bean: It's Uncle Deadly's birthday! I've gotta go bring this to him! *stacks a few teacups on top of the cake*
Alex: And the teacups....
Bean: Well he's GOTTA have a birthday party! Which reminds me.... Happy Unbirthday! *shoves the cake in Alex's hands and runs to get another for Uncle Deadly*

Sweetums: *on the roof, swings down and through the window* ROAR!
Alex: Aah! Sweetums, you scared me!
Sweetums: *looks sad*
Elmo: *bursts out of room 24* AVAST YE SCURVY LANDLUBBER! *looks over at Alex* Elmo thought you were dressed as Dorothy?
Alex: Oh, I changed my mind. I might change it quite a bit. I still haven't really decided.
Elmo: Oh. *pretends to fend off Sweetums*

Bean: *at Room #1, drops off the cake and throws confetti everywhere, putting party hats on UD, the Count and Ed, then hops away*

[BEAR]

Bryan: Halloween and I have to go to a dress rehearsal for a show called "White Christmas". How ironic is that. (hears scream from other room) What was that? (entering B and E's bedroom) Aaah! Ernie! Bert!
(Ernie is revealed transformed into a headless horseman, a knight with no head; and Bert has been turned into a floppy dried oatmeal-filled scarecrow, with bottlecap buttons) Bert, great costume! Very realistic. Ernie...that's...too realistic. Where is your head!
Bert: That's what I've been wondering!
Ernie: (holds up arms and shrugs in confusion)
Bert: Oh this is not good. What's going on?
Bryan: It's Halloween. There must have been some sort of spell put on this place.
Rosita: (flying around the room as a bat, wings fangs and all) But you look normal!
Bryan: Must be something that only happens to Muppets. And you're a bat!
Rosita: Yeah and I can fly too! Wait til Big Bird sees this!
Bryan: Say, where is Big Bird? And the others too? Come on, guys! (goes off to investigate)
Ernie: (Jumps onto a large black and yellow horse which suddenly appears. The minute he sits on the horse's back, a familiar squeak is heard. Ernie then raises his hand and scratches the air just above where his head would be.)

[The Count]

Hey Bry... Before you let that rubber horsduckie rider out of the room... You might want to give him this.
*Tosses Bryan a jack o'lantern pumpkin head, carved in an exact likeness of Ernie's to reattach to the body.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
I will not screech nor will I even let out a whimper.
You may ram me with your ridiculous train! I will have nothing
to offer you, you demented woman, you!
(Tied by thick wires)

Claudia:
(Pulls lightly on her thinly mustache and smiles gleefully, her top hat covering her dark brown eyes, her black cape hugging her form)
Goodbye Mr. Hyde! Whichever you are...who are you again?

Bunsen:
The good doctor!
Do not make me do something you will regret my dear!

Claudia:
Oh, not to worry my pet! It won't be too long before you feel hot wheels crushing your little body! I might need to call Beau to clean up your remains though...
(Smooths out her red vest noticing a maggot clinging on to it)
The maggots! (Giggles) They seem to love me you know!
(Attempts to dig her black sharp nails into his stomach)

Beaker:
Mee mee!
(Railroad tracks unfurl from her room and slide into the hallway, a screech sounds from the room)
Trainmeep!

Bunsen:
Hmph.

Claudia:
The train is coming! You better change that mind of yours sweetie-pie!
(Dances around him with glee)

Beaker:
(Takes his bowler hat off as a sign of sympathy)
Mee.
(Puts on an old song--something you'd hear from a silent movie)

Asphodel:
(Is perched on her shoulder)
You is eh....what?

Claudia:
Oh! Well, I'm the evil guy that usually puts damsels in distress into a railroad track thing and request that they marry me! In this case...guys!

Asphodel:
Ah, Bunsen is not eh...a woman.

Claudia:
Bunsen? Who's Bunsen?
YEAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Bunsen:
(Sweats a little from the ghoulish screams coming from the train in the room)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Stop! In the name of the law!
(Adjusts his wig)

Claudia:
The underworld judge!
Hmph...
always ruining my fun?
(Sticks a lollipop in her mouth)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Love the monocle...

Claudia:
Oh really?
Do you like my hair?
I tried to make it crazy--did not take too much.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Oh no, you look cute!
Even though you look like a man...
fancy pants!

Claudia:
I meant to look that way.

Bunsen:
Oh, wonderful.
(Rolls away from the railroad)

Claudia:
You shan't get away!
(Gets her whip)

Bunsen:
I think I am getting away!

Dr. Van Neuter:
(Appears in front of her)
No, no, no....

Claudia:
(Growls and looks to her polished shoes)
Another maggot...ugh.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (glances at watch) Let's do this.

A parade of spooks, frights and weirdoes heads from the room, bearing food and drinks for the night's party.

Erin, as the mad scientist, carries a tureen of pumpkin soup and a covered platter of vegetables. Nora, the Corpse Bride, carries the tureen of winter vegetable soup and a covered plate of chocolate raspberry eyeball truffles. Scooter, as Jason, brings a secured pitcher of punch and a container of ice cream (Transylvania Twist). Beige, as the mountain troll, has the plate of chocolate tombstones and another container of ice cream (also T-Twist). Storyteller, the ghostly librarian brings up the rear, hovering along with a basket of garlic bread.

In the meantime, the room 7 house of literary horrors has been opened up for viewing.

[tvlistingman]

Before the Party

PETER: Are you Ready for the Party Everybody

LITTLE BIRD: (as Ouzelum Bird)- Yes, i have to watch where i'm going because I'll be going backwards

BABY BEAR: (Terror Teddy): Urrrggh! I'm Terror Teddy!

ZOE: Prom Queen Poltergeist, This should be fun and It's a costume

PETER: You're right Zoe, Off to the Party!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
I think I'm going to get you later. I want to check out room seven and start readin'!

Bunsen:
Oh, if you could kindly release me...
(Voice changes to a more frightning tone)
or I'll do terrible things to you in your sleep.
You wouldn't want that. Would you?

(Snaps out of it)

Oh, I never meant any of that.
Please untie me.

Claudia:
Sure thing, Bunnie.
(Shakes head)
I got too much into the whole Halloween thing...

Bunsen:
I could understand...
(Twitches)

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: Okay you guys, ready to head to the party?
Tosh: (dressed as a monster tamer, holding Beast's rope) Yup!
Boober: (mournfully, dressed like Sidebottom-like poltergeist and looking transparent) I don't like this...
Kim: Oh, cheer up and have a little fun for once Boober. Look on the bright side - you've got free reign to test buluviouses, or whatever passes for a buluvious for those of us that don't have them.
Boober: True... (grins, and makes the books on the shelf fall off one by one)
Gillis: (dressed as a phantom conductor, complete with a white powdered wig) Are you sure it was a wise idea to tell him that?
Kim: (shrugs) What's the harm? Besides, anything he knocks over he'll probably clean up, so both sides of him will be happy. And you, I must admit, are looking sharp Maestro.
Gillis: Better sharp than flat, eh?
Kim: Careful with the puns. Just 'cause you're dead doesn't mean they can be to.
Mimzy: (dressed in gauzy purple as a phantom) So what are you supposed to be, Kim?
Kim: Well, originally I was going to go as Nancy Drew. But then I decided to dress up as Molly Grue from The Last Unicorn instead.
Gillis: Because you never could have pulled off Almalthea.
Kim: Stifle it...

-Kim

OOC: Hooray, my 1500-th post!

[Erine81981]

Wizard Grover: *tries a spell*

Apprentice Murray: This is going to be fun. *jumping up and down*

*dressed as a cowboy riding an ostrich* Herry! Come back here!

Monstrous Herry: *laughs* Come and get me.

Monstrous skinny Bruce: *walking down the hall out the doors of the dorms*

*sees Bruce* Hey Bruce

Monstrous skinny Bruce: *looks around*

Don't look at me that way.

Monstrous skinny Bruce: *sighs and walks on*

This is getting crazy!

Oscar the Grouchkeeper: *pops up out of his trashcan* *laughs like the creptkeeper* How's things going?

Oscar? Is that you?

Oscar the Grouchkeeper: It's me. *laughs again*

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! *runs from the hallway to the outside of the dorms* This is going be one night i'm going to hate. Where's Bryan or anybody! *sits on the dorms steps and rocks back in forth*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Giggles gleefully)
Hello Kyleeee!
Where are yah runnin'?
(Pulls on her thin mustache)

Don't make me tie you to a railroad track too, buddy!
I'm kidding.
Come on, I think the party is gonna start soon!
(Lifts him with some force to where he is able to stand at full height)

Bunsen:
Come you should, we have yet to get down with our bad selves!
I think I hear Thriller playing...

Do come along Kyle!

Be afraid not, none of this is ever purely real.
Yes, I suffer from multiple personalities tonight but I promise this will all go away. Of course, Claudia has experienced impulses to tie men down on her rairoad and force them to marry her. It is only a small Halloween phase---it'll pass.

(Smiles lightly)

Claudia:
(Rolls her eyes at him)
I was only joking.
Let's go! I still need to play that prank on Eddie....
(Smiles impishly)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Not with me around!

Beaker:
(Appears next to Kyle)
Mee mee mee.
Okmeep!

Claudia:
But I wanted to soak him with punch!
(Whines)

Dr. Van Neuter:
So immature!

Claudia:
Yeah you're right...
I should stick with severing his head.
(Takes her top hat into her hands)

Bunsen:
Ooo...
(Cringes)

Dr. Van Neuter:
And dunk Alex into acid?

Claudia:
I AM KIDDING!
MY GOSH!
I am not that sick.

Bunsen:
You owe me a dance when we get to this little party.



Or I'll kill you.

Claudia:
Yeah, same here.

(They laugh loudly)

[The Count]

*Hand hangs a sign saying "Party in Full Swing, Come at Your Own Risk" leading to the happenin' Halloween party.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Groans)

Bunsen:
Beakie, how curious,
Your hair is on fire.
(Looks relaxed before he realizes exactly what that would mean)
Oh dear!
Beakie, stay still while I try to find that little bucket of yours!

Beaker:
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Claudia:
(Gets the marshmellows and tries to roast it over Beaker's burning hair)

Dr. Van Neuter:
(Laughs loudly)
Mulch and me use to do that soooo much!

Claudia:
Mmm...marshmellies.

[The Count]

Oh hey sis... Nice outfit, going for the Snidely Whiplash look? As for us, well, if you can hexcuse the pun, we happen to be the hosts with the most, the deaths of the party.
*UD gives a low chuckle.
So, when's Composta getting here Dr. Neuter? We definitely need some more souls to fill up the place with ghoulish glee and trick-or-treat trickery and erm, treatery. OK, forget that, just go on and enjoy the party.

*Bats pass out small plates with the horror d'euvers to anyone who wants to sample the finger food, though the fingers for food are mere breadsticks.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Puts on a pouty look)
Yup.

Dr. Van Neuter:
My Composta!
(Gasps loudly)
Oh my sugarbooger!
Sweetie-pie!

Composta:
(Growls in response and wraps her muscular arms around him)
Rawr.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Honey, not in front of the dead!

Composta:
(Nods and bats her eyelashes)

Claudia:
So....you're supposed to be Bloody Mary?

Composta:
Mmmhmm! Grrrrrrrr!

Claudia:
Wow, you sure make a pretty one!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Isn't she a doll?
I swear. I don't know how I even have someone as gorgeous as you, puddin'!

Composta:
Awr...
(Smooches him)

Claudia:
Uh, Bunsen, will you uh...

Bunsen:
Why don't you?
I'm busy with my...Gs.

Claudia:
(Guides the ghostly lovebirds away)

Beaker:
Mee.
(Rolls eyes)

Bunsen:
You'd think they'd get tired of eachother...

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: (biting into a truffle) Oh, no, I got raspberry juice on my clothes!
Erin: Well, that's why I chose raspberries as the filling for the eyeball truffles. They make good retinas.
Nora: (slurping up some punch) Has anyone gone through our haunted house yet?
Scooter: Yeah, a few groups just went through. One person needed smelling salts after seeing the canopic jars in the kitchen.
Beige: Must have been the macaroni brains, you know?
Erin: And I heard that we had the ghost of Therese DeFarge hanging around the guillotine in the hallway.
Storyteller: Nice touch.
Nora: I hope there's no one here named Evremonde, you know?
Beige: Are there any tombstone plots left?
Scooter: Just one with Jerry Juhl's name on it.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Boy all of our friends sure look great in their costumes don't they?
Red: I think we look pretty great too! (Dressed as a tribal mistress)
Mokey: We do indeed (dressed in a leafy type thing)
Abby *still as dark fairy*: I don't know if I want to be a normal fairy again, I kind of like this!
Beth: Well I think we celebrate into the weekend, I'm not sure, but I guess we'll see.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
(Suddenly takes the exotic Bethy to the dancefloor with a rose in his mouth--trying hard not to look transparent...get it? LOL!)
Meeee meee meee...
(Tips his bowler hat to her)

Claudia:
(Adjusts her monocle)

Bunsen:
(Sips on some tea)

[Beakerfan]

Bean: *has set a table by himself, serving tea* What a wonderful un-birthday party, don't you think? *checks in teapot* Say, has anyone seen the Doormouse?
Elmo: *joins Bean for tea*
Sweetums: *walks in, carrying Alex in one hand, stands in the doorway and beats his chest with one hand*
Alex: *dressed as Princess Leia* Help! Help! Save me from the beast!
Elmo: *jumps up, sword in hand*
Sweetums: *gives Alex a strange look*
Alex: I'm just kiddin ya. Now would you put me down?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
(Sees Alex and smiles goofily)
Mee mee mee.
(Leaves Beth so he can try his stuff with Alex)

Claudia:
The Madhatter!
Oh dear...
I forgot...
I am the dude who ties people to railroads.

Ah well, this will give Beaker some heroing to do.

Oh Alex, sweetie!
Would you like some eye-filled punch?
(Carries the rope with her)

Bunsen:
You must not go through with it!
I won't allow you to hurt another poor soul!

Claudia:
Hush it you Bi-polar thing!

Bunsen:
(Gasp)

Beaker:
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Tackles her to the ground and accidently rips off her fake mustache)

Claudia:
(Gasps loudly)
BEAKER!
(Takes it back)
It's ok baby...mommy...I mean...daddys here...

Bunsen:
(Looks puzzled)

Claudia:
I LIKE the mustache ok?
(Attempts to tie Alex up)

[The Count]

*Creepy music issues forth from the organ under the nimble nosferatu's Transylvanian touch.
Me, nibbling at the plot with tombstone marked RH... Ah... *Soothingly sulkily: I feel a song coming on...
Now how does that one he liked go...

*Singing in deep Vincent Price voice:
When you're down and troubled.
And you need some love and care.
And nothing, nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of me.
And soon I will be there.
To brighten up, even your darkest night.

UD: You just call out his name.
And you know wherever you are...
He'll come running...
To see you again.

Me: Winter, spring, summer or fall.
All you have to do is call.
And I'll be there!
Ud: Yes he will...
Both: You've got a friend.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
(Dries his eyes with Claudia's cape)
That was beautiful.

Claudia:
(Makes a knot)
Very pretty singing.
(Smiles gaily and snickers)
The wheels on the train go round and round...
round and round....

[The Count]

*Following Claudia's train of thought...
All over the Alex?

*Shrugs as a sort of "eh, whatever" motion. Play nice you two.
*Goes to see if the goulash is ready for serving. Mmm, not yet, maybe we need to gather some more ingredients to bring this broth to a boil.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Hey, I'mma do some stuff at the room.
Enjoy the party.

Bunsen:
Already?

Claudia:
Yeah.

Dr. Van Neuter:
(Does the waltz with Composta)
Ok! Send me a postcard!

Claudia:
(Raises eyebrow)
Sure thing, Doc.

Beaker:
Mee mee.
(Tags along with Claudia)

---

Asphodel:
Drink?

Bunsen:
No thank you.
(Puts on a contemplative expression)

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *still tied to the railroad tracks* Uh, guys.... could you let me up?
Sweetums: *charges through the room and tears Alex from the tracks* ROOOAAR! *beats his chest with his free hand*
Alex: Thanks Sweetums.... I mean, Kong....
Bean: *pouring everyone two cups of tea*

[The Count]

*Takes cup of tea graciously poured by the March Bean.
*Spies Alex being freed by Kongums.
Bad show old man... Well, that'll give Claudia another chance to hold you hostage I suppose

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *sits on a chair in a very mermaid-like way*
Bean: *hands her a cup of tea* Do you like two lumps or one?
Alex: Don't even think about it, buster!
Bean: *sets down the mallet that was behind his back*

[The Count]

Ooh... Mermaids... Pretty...
*Daydreams, while walking off and disappearing into the shadows only to return with the burgers, sausages, garlic bread, and goulash stew to restock the booffé table.

[Beakerfan]

Kongums: *picks Alex up and holds her in his fist in a territorial way*
Bean: *runs around giving out cake to everybody*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
I made a silly mistake!
Very well played, my dear.

Composta:
(Growls triumphantly and gives him a wink)

Bunsen:
(Squirms uncomfortably)
Very flattered...

Dr. Van Neuter:
Darling, I got you a basket full of kisses!
(Puckers up)

Composta:
Ruuar?

Dr. Van Neuter:
Rawr.

Composta:
(Gasps happily and huggles him)
Me love you, pumpkin!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Why don't yah show me?
(Nudges gently)

Claudia:
(Eyes get wide)
Gee, I hope I'm not interrupting!

Bunsen:
They're being goofballs...don't you worry.
Your wife is very clever!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Of course!

Composta:
Me always clever!

Bunsen:
Indeed.

Claudia:
(Dances with Beaker)
Wow, who knew she could play so well?

Beaker:
Mee meeee!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: And the truffles and sweets are kind of decimated. Back in a few. (returns to room to get reinforcements)
Nora: I like how Bean's going as the March Hare.
Scooter: I'm just wondering why the Jabberwock isn't here.
Beige: Well, seeing as you chopped his head off on that one episode of the Muppet Show...
Storyteller: (floating around) Oh, Beige, they're playing "I'm Looking Through You." Won't you dance with me?
Beige: (sigh) Okay. (goes to dance)
Nora: Scooter, question - what exactly did you put in the punch?
Scooter: Nothing harmful or abnormal, if that's what you're asking.
Erin: (returning with more truffles) Hey, Nora, those werewolf scratches on the Shrieking Shack door are a nice touch.
Nora: (frowning) I didn't put any werewolf scratches on the door. Just on the walls.
Erin: (nodding slowly but tensely) Okay...
Scooter: We can rule out Alex - she's over there with Sweetums.

[Erine81981]

Thanks Cluadia. Your the best. *give her a kiss in the cheek* You wanna dance? I don't have anyone to dance with.

Wizard Grover: *finishes the spell* There. That will do it.

A bunch of skeatons come walking out of all the closets and start dancing to the music

Apprentice Murray: Uh Grover?

Wizard Grover: What is it my cute little apprentice?

Apprentice Murray: Uh...is that what was spoused to happen? *points to the skelotons dancing around the dorms*

Wizard Grover: Oh no! I messed up the spell. *starts crying* I am not a very good wizard at all.

Apprentice Murray: Don't worry Grover. You did your best. *pats Grover on his back*

[Beakerfan]

Elmo: Oh, do not worry Grover! *pats him on the back* Elmo likes the skeletons!
Bean: *running around pouring the skeletons tea* And one for you, and one for you, and one for you, and one for you!
Alex: *wriggles out of Kongums' fist* finally! Now maybe I can enjoy the party? *sneaks off to go dance with one of the skeletons*

[Beauregard]

Mildred: *as a ghostly old lady* I should have know this would happen when my uncle Melvin played a knock-knock joke on me twenty years after he died...

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Sure thing, Kyle.
Excuse moi, Beakie!
(Twirls Kyle energetically before tipping him over swiftly and bringing him back on his feet)

Beaker:
(Shrugs and dances with himself)

Bunsen:
Ah well, I suppose it's just you and me, Beakie!

Beaker:
Meep.
(Dances with him)

[Erine81981]

Wizard Grover: It is like they say. You can not cut it join'em. *ask a skeleton to dance* May i?

Skeleton #3: *nods head yes*

*dancing with Claudia* You a graceful. Did you have dancing lessons?

Apprentice Murray: *taps Alex's shoulder* May i cut in?

Monstrous Herry: *deep voice* What they doin'?

Monstrous skinny Bruce: *scraches his head* Me not know?

Two skeletons dance by Herry and Bruce

[redBoobergurl]

*Red and Abby go crazy dancing among all the others*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Is dressed into her normal clothes consisting of black pants and a yellow shirt)
Hmm hmmmm hmmmm...
(Preparing her things)

Bunsen:
It was wonderful.
(Puts a glowy substance within a huge container or what would seem like one, possibly a freezer)
...Setting degree....

Beaker:
Meep.
(Sees into the optical microsope)
Oooo...
(Moves to the other table and looks through a magnifying glass)

Claudia:
(Laughs at Beaker's enlarged head)
Make a face!

Dr. Van Neuter:
(Rolls eyes)

Beaker:
Meeeeppppfff!
(Rasberries)

Claudia:
(Giggles)

Bunsen:
Tsstsst.

[The Count]

Well... The spell's over and everything's hip, it's a part of the plan. And it seems like our Halloween bash was the hit of the land. But for you the living, this day's not through... When you get to my door, tell 'em Death sent you.

Yes... Today's the Mexican version of Halloween, known as the Day of the Dead. And in honor, we'll be airing a Grim Adventures monster marathon. All the episodes that have ever aired, plus both movie/specials. Skelebrations and many deathful returns of the day.

[redBoobergurl]

Abby: I'll miss my dark fairy costume
Beth: You can dress up and play pretend anytime you want
Abby: Ok!
Red: That was some good party. Sad it's over
Beth: There will more good times to come though
Wanda: Yes, because someone has a birthday later this month
Beth: Whatever could you be talking about?
Mokey: And then next month is that other wonderful silly creature holiday, I just love your Christmas
Beth: Me too. But let's get through Thanksgiving first ok?

[The Count]

*Drops off a gift wrapped box of thick chocolate chip cookies with chopped nuts in them at Room #29's door, the ribbon tucking a birthday card for that galleta gourmand.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Nibbles on a celery as she passes by the cookies near Bryan's room)

Bunsen:
Good....keep on going.

Claudia:
(Twitches and goes into her room)

Beaker:
(Attempts to snatch the sweets until Bunsen pulls him away for another experiment)

Bunsen:
Come along!
We've much to do!
So little time!
So much to discover!
So much to...

Claudia:
RAWR!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Scream for!

Claudia:
(Smiles triumphantly and organizes her resume)

[Erine81981]

Glad to see everything back to normal. I thought i was going to have a nervous break down.

Murray: Me too. I was getting tired of having to do everything that Grover told me. I'm not a good apprentice. But i do make a good freind.

You sure do Murray. I'm going to call up some pizza. Want any?

Murray: Nah. I'm having something that my mommy made me. Monster Mash Soup. And also that new cartoon is on! *runs to the tv, truns it on, falls back on the couch with his Mom's monster mash soup*

*laughs* *calls in the pizza* Yes. Thank you too. *hangs up* Good, delicious, scrumptious pizza. *rubbing hands together with tongue licking lips*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Beige: (reclining on sofa) You know, I had this funny dream that I had been turned into a Scottish mountain troll and...wait, it wasn't a dream, was it?
Others: It wasn't.
Nora: (sitting up) It's weird - last year, we had to take all our decorations down ourselves. This year, they disappeared the same time our spooky identities did.
Scooter: (playing guitar) Yeah, but at least we don't have to take out the trash.
(general murmur of agreement)
Erin: On the downside, I've noticed that a number of stores already have their Christmas decorations up.
(chorus of groans and "Oh, for heaven's sake.")
Scooter: But it's not even Thanksgiving yet.
Storyteller: Tell me, what is it with you Silly Creatures, that you have the decorations up so far in advance of the actual holiday?
Nora: It's to provide gainful employment to people in the advertising business.
Erin: That's right. Keeps them off the streets and out of trouble.
Beige: Very interesting...say, do we have any Transylvania Twist left?
Storyteller: One pint in the fridge, and you four are welcome to it...I think I ate a little too much of that at the party.

[BEAR]

Bryan: Man, it's been such a busy week. I really haven't been around much with the opening of my show tonight and all. And I even forgot it was Cookie Monster's birthday. Well, I'll have to make it up to him. In the meantime, must get sleep.

PETER: Good Morning!

ZOE: Good Morning

BABY BEAR: It's Cookie Monster's birthday

PETER: What should we get him, I Know he likes Cookies, so why don't we buy him 3 Packs of Oreo Cookies, Why don't we go to Wal-Mart to get him a Cookie T-Shirt

LITTLE BIRD: And See that Beez Movie! and after that why don't we give the presents to Cookie Monster!

PETER: Good Idea!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (in kitchen, over whir of mixer) Scooter, you want to add the chocolate chips?
Scooter: Sure, how much?
Erin: The whole bag.
Scooter: Wow. (Erin stops mixer so Scooter can pour the chips in) It's a good thing Beige isn't here, or else he'd try to eat all the batter.
Erin: Well, I sent him out with Nora and Storyteller to find an appropriate present for Cookie Monster, so that should keep him out of trouble.
(restarts mixer) Okay, right, we've got the chocolate chip ones under way, the mint ones are in the oven, and there's...

(door opens)

Nora: Erin? Scooter? We're back.
Scooter: Hi, guys, did you find something?
Storyteller: We did. (she, Nora and Beige heft a very large decorated jar onto the counter) Went to Finders Keepers and asked Ruthie for the biggest cookie jar she had.
Beige: All the better to hold all those...oh, good grief, are those the Triple Chocolate Deliriums you're making? (swoons)
Scooter: (sotto voce) I didn't know security Fraggles tended to have such a sweet tooth.
Erin: Well, the job's kind of a hassle, so what can you do?
Nora: How many more batches do you need to make?
Erin: Let's see...I'd like to send five types of cookies to represent all five of us. Beige, I'll let you send the triple chocolates...who wants the mint dreams?
Storyteller: I do.
Erin: Okay...then there's the orange-chocolate swirls, the raspberry thumbprints and the ginger snaps...Nora? Scooter?
Nora: Dibs on the raspberry ones.
Scooter: And I'll take the orange-chocolate ones.
Erin: Which leaves me with the ginger snaps...all right, we've got three batches of cookies to get through, so let's get to it.

[Erine81981]

Grover: *brings home a box of oatmeal cookies* I had almost forgot about Cookie's birthday.

I did all together. I hope he doesn't think we forgot.

Monsters: *groans and mutters*

Ok ok. We did forget. Let's go to the store and get him some. Me the others will be back Grover.

Grover: Ok. I will be here getting his present ready. *hums to self while wrapping his present to Cookie*

Murray: I get to ride in the front seat.

Burce: Not if can help it. *races out to the car*

Come on guys. Don't fight. *shutting the door*

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(at the door to Bryan and co's room, a large cookie jar - close in size to a small barrel - appears, containing five different types of cookies: ginger snaps, raspberry thumbprints, orange-chocolate swirls, mint dreams and Triple-Chocolate Deliriums. There is a note on the jar saying, "Happy Birthday, Cookie Monster, from the gang in room 7. P.S.: don't eat the jar.")

[BEAR]

Cookie: Oh boy! Look at all these cooookieees! Happy birthday to me!
Bryan: And what a beautiful jar from Erin's gang. Don't eat it!
Cookie: Me will try. COWABUNGA! (dives into the jar and has a field day)
Bryan: Well, you enjoy that and then when you're done, we can go down to Mike's Bakery and I'll let you pick out whatever you want. Prairie, Rosita and Gaffer? I think Kathy's back. I'm so sorry I wasn't around much this time to play with you all.
Prairie: It's okay.
Rosita: Yeah you were busy.
Bryan: Thanks for understanding and know that you're welcome here any time.

[Beauregard]

Bo: I have had a hidiously bad day...
Beau: I burnt my hand on that new iron trying to get the wrinkles out of your suit...I also burnt a foot long hole in the material...
Bo: *to camera* Suddenly my problems seem so insignificant.

[The Count]

Bad day? You came back and posted like the madman you are today. Oh well, I'll get you yet.
*Changes channel to keep watching the football game.

See you both soon!
Love,

[Beauregard]

Bo: *sighs* Yes, posting like a madman was the sollution to my bad day...Please note, though, that I did put thought and attention into every post I posted and didn't just post randomly...ok, well, it was random...but thoughtfull randomness...
Beau: Did that sentence make sense?
George: Does any?
Mildred: *scratches head*

[The Count]

Hush now, you're rambling. *Picks out recipe to get Count and Uncle D working on Erin's cake.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Well guys it's another Monday
Red: Indeed
Abby: Yep
Mokey: Sure is
Wanda: Why do we all sound so down about that fact?
Beth: You know, you're right. Why should Monday be so depressing?
Red: Yeah, we should change that
Abby: Make Monday fun!
Beth: All right, here's what we're going to do. We're going to get breakfast, we're going to go to work and class and then we're going to come home tonight and make a wonderful dinner and play fun games because it's going to be our new tradition. Make Monday FUN!
Roomies: YAY!

[The Count]

*Knocks on Door #3. Hey Beth? Thought I'd bring over a few fresh Harvest Moon cookies for you, there are some doozerdust ones there too.
Wanted to ask you... Regarding the town plans...
Where should the Fuzzy Feet Hotel be placed on the map? What address should it have?
Asking you, cause you were the one who attended and helped open their doors to the crowds in town here earlier this ear.

[Beauregard]

Beau: oooh, I'm just a ramblin, ramblin guy....
Mildred: Do you enjoy rambling?
George: I don't know, I've never rambled.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Scooter: So I think we should...
Nora: Or how about...
Storyteller: No, did that last year. What about...
Beige: Well, in the Cave, we would...

(Erin enters)

Storyteller: (sotto voce) It's her. Start discussing something else.
Erin: What's going on, guys?
Others: We're just chatting.
Erin: Oh, okay. Carry on.

[The Count]

*Uncle Deadly rambles Bo on out and back to his own quarters to keep compiling the MopFam episode guides.
There, with him out of the way... Let's get to baking this masterpiece for our honored guest.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Monday, Monday. So good to me! Monday, Monday, it was all I hoped it would beeeeee.....

Bean: Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday! Who could hang a name on you? When you change with every new day, still I'm gonna miss you...

Sweetums: Tuesday afternoon was never ending, Wednesday morning papers didn't come. Thursday night your stockings needed mending. Seeeee howww they ruuuunnnnnn.......

Elmo: Saturday, in the park! I think it was the Fourth of July.....

[The Count]

Hey... What about Friday?
Nice, used to sing that on Mondays back in high school.

[Beakerfan]

Bah, Fridays..... couldn't think of a song at the time.

[redBoobergurl]

A Friday song:

I don't care if Mondays blue, Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too, Thursday (words I don't remember), It's Friday I'm in love.

[BeakerSqueedom]

(Claudia, all battered by current events and silly class work, ect., grumpily chews a celery while happily dropping off a birthday gift for Erin (dichotomies lol!). The gift happens to be a a plush version of the muppet newsflash reporter and a huge cookie baked by the one and only)

Claudia:
Happy Birthday to you,
Someone is 22!
I wonder just who...

Oh, I know, it's the one on the news!
Alright, I'm no lyric writer.
Happy Birthday, Erinnnnnnnn!

Bunsen:
Oh good, you've managed to escape the horrid clutches of...

Claudia:
(Blinks as she feels a thorny vine wrap around her slim ankle)

Dr. Van Neuter:
You spoke too soon, melon head.

Bunsen:
Indeed I did.

Claudia:
(Screeches as she is dragged away by the hideous plant hiding in her room)

Bunsen:
Erin, my dear, you've seen nothing.
Understood?
Toodles!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Like he said.

Beaker:
MEEEEEE!
CLAUDIAMEEEP!

Bunsen:
Don't you worry, Beakie.
Luckily, the plant is just overly affectionate.
It won't hurt her.

Claudia:
The thorns!
THE THORNS!
EEEE!

Bunsen:
On second thought...

Beaker:
Meeep meeee?

Bunsen:
Why, yes, I think that'd be a swell idea.
Let us flee befo-

I mean...let us do something about it!
(Quietly sneaks off with Beaker and Phil)

[Erine81981]

Grover: *comes running in* Hey! Kyle!

*listening to the MuppetCast*

Grover: Kyle? *tiles head* Kyle?

*still listening*

Grover: HEY KYLE!

*still listening....still*

Grover: *yells while swaying back and forth* KYLE!

*takes head phones off* Did you say something?

Grover: *breathing really hard* Yes.

Ok. Tell me.

Grover: I am tired. *falls over*

*weird look on face* Huh?

[The Count]

*Drops off an orange chocolate swirl cheesecake at Room #7's door. Hard to get offline, I've gotten addicted to the TV Trivia game at Facebook, been going through almost every Sesame question so far, not sure if I should move on to another show just yet.

[tvlistingman]

ZOE: What'cha Doing

PETER: Making Erin's birthday Card and you can help and all help

LITTLE BIRD: Oh, Okay!

BABY BEAR: and I made her these paper flowers and we're going to drop it off along the Card

PETER: All Set with the Card and paper Flowers and why don't we put it by Room 7

[BEAR]

Bryan: Hey, Ed. Yes, Facebook can get addicting at first. Oh, I see you brought Erin a birthday present.
Cookie: (Sniffs) Mmm...smells delicious. Is that chocolate-orange swirled cheesecake? Yummy!
Bryan: Down Monster!
Big Bird: We're here to give Erin a birthday present too!
Ernie: Yeah, we all chipped in and bought her camcorder to document her news stories.
Bert: Yeah, and this nifty new microphone.
Bryan: I hope she likes it.
(Leaves gifts at Erin's door)

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (opens the door, spots cheesecake and boxes) Oh, wow, I know what we're having for dessert tonight! Thank you, Ed! (puts cheesecake on side table and turns back to door) Let's see, what's this...from Ernie and Bert...
Beige: So what is it already?
Erin: (bringing boxes in) Let's see...it's a camcorder! With a microphone, no less. Nice...thanks, guys!
Nora: (stands up with card and plush) Claudia stopped by earlier, left these. (looks at plush and giggles) Looks just like the Newsman, tacky plaid suit jacket and all.
Scooter: (pointing to a small vase on the table) And Peter and his gang sent over a card and some paper flowers.
Erin: Wow...those look excellent.
Storyteller: Sit down, everyone, and let's have cake and cocoa.

[theprawncracker]

Clifford: Hey, hey, Ry-guy! Whatcha doin'?
Ryan: Hey Cliff my main man! What's shakin' baaaaaby!
Clifford: Why are you talkin' like that, man?
Ryan: Hey hey, chill man, chill. Keep it cool baby. I'm just rockin' to the groovy beat of Sesame Street: Old School.
Clifford: Man, you sound like Floyd.
Ryan: Floyd Pepper? The hippest of the hip? Man, I'm nothin' compared to that hip cat.
Clifford: *shakes head* Just watch the show, dude... just watch the show.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *finishes wrapping a box and drops it off at Erin's dorm. Inside is a handmade necklace and a card decorated by everyone in room 24*

Sweetums: *hears Claudia's cries as she is strangled by the plant* DONT WORRY! I'LL SAVE YOU CLAUDIA! *bashes through her door yet again and attempts to pull her free from the plant*

[BEAR]

Bryan: (On phone) Hey, Ryan! You watching Old School too? I was watching Volume 1. Haven't gotten the second one yet. Will probably ask for that for my birthday/Christmas.
Snuffy: Bryan, is my spaghetti ready yet?
Bryan: Be right there! Sorry, Ryan, gotta go. I have to make lunch for the guys. (hangs up)
Ernie: I hope Erin liked her gifts.
Bryan: Yeah, I just hope she got the gift card to Coming Unbound that was in that little envelope along with the Camera and microphone.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Thanks Sweetums, I thought the darn plant would never get off.
(Huggles Sweetums tightly)
Now, where is de lovleh Alex?
She still owes me a cookie. >/

[LOL]

Bunsen:
Deary me!
You've escaped with the help of Sweetums!
Hoorah!

Claudia:
(Glares)
BOOM SHAKALAKA!

Bunsen:
How primitive...
(Sighs)

[The Count]

Hey guys, I'm home.
Count: Did you get it? Did you get it?
Get what?
Count: Old School Wolume 2!
*Sighs... Nope. And I know how you were looking forward to counting it all.
Count: B-b-but the stores...?
Didn't have it. Ended up ordering from amazon.com though.
Count, perks up: So it's on its vay?
To where the air is sweet?
Count, light smile: If the air is sweet here, then yes.
Eventually, three weeks or so, hopefully soonerish than that. Ah well, nothing to do but take care of other errands.
*Already in comfortable casual hangin' in our room clothes.

[Beauregard]

Bo: Hmm....waterleak...
Beau: Hmmm...brain damage...

[The Count]

*Looks at the now 60+ post lead Bo has. And to think I was 4 away from tieing him on Sunday. Eh... *Shrugs.

Claudia:
(Sits on her bed happily and snuggles her graded work lovingly)
Baby, you and me got a thang goin' on...

Beaker:
Meee?

Claudia:
Not you...
(Giggles)

A...B....I love good grades.

Bunsen:
Good for you.

Claudia:
(Kisses her papers)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Weirdo!

Claudia:
Heeheee.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (at Claudia's door, with a bottle) Hey, Claudia - in case that plant runs amuck again, here's some defoliant.

(later on)

Nora: (rummaging through box) Erin, look - there's a gift card taped to the camera box. (rips it off) And it's for Coming Unbound.
Erin: Really? (looks at card) Very nice, thanks, Bryan. (immediately puts card in wallet)
Scooter: I heard Sweetums roaring something about Claudia being in trouble.
Erin: It's that plant that keeps attacking her. But I sent up some defoliant, so she should be a little safer.
Storyteller: Good. Now sit down, reporter lady, there's more presents to open.
Beige: Yeah, there's one from Alex and her crew - and we haven't given you our presents yet. (hands over Alex's box)
Erin: Let's see...(opens box, takes out necklace) Nice, very nice!
Nora: Okay, our turn. (goes into room) Found this at Coming Unbound. It's called "Off the Beaten Path in Europe," and it tells you about the best out-of-the way tea rooms, eateries, shops and sights in London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Athens...well, all the big cities in Europe.
Erin: Oh, excellent. I'm taking this to London next time I go.
Storyteller: My turn...it's a shawl made of Toe-Tickler silk. And it's in a nice royal blue, your favorite.
Erin: (fingers shawl) Thanks, Storyteller, it's beautiful.
Nora: (to Scooter and Beige) Now for you two...
Scooter: Oh, well...there's a new coffee and tea supply shop that opened up on Henson and Hunt...
Beige: Yeah, it's called Brew for Two or something...
Scooter: Long story short, we chipped in and got you a new teapot. (he and Beige bring out a large iridescent-colored pot)
Beige: And there's a sampler box of tea inside.
Storyteller: Erin, don't you dare leave that too close to the edge of the counter.
Erin: Oh, come on, Storyteller, I'm not that clumsy. (takes pot) Thanks, guys, it's perfect.

[The Count]

*Drops off a message for Erin. Hi, hope you had a good birthday yesterday. Um, could you please PM me as soon as you get the chance? There's something I'd like to ask you, as it relates to the next big dorms' activity taking place this weekend. Hope to hear back from you, have a good night.

Ed.

Bean and Alex are wearing cover-alls, caps that say "Devoto Plumbing" with matching jackets, black boots, and carrying tool bags. Sweetums stops them as they head out the door.
Sweetums: Where are you guys goin?

Bean: Bo has a leak in his room. We're going to fix it!

Sweetums: And what's with the hats and jackets?

Alex: Oh my dad gave them to us. They were too small for his employees. Why the hey he had one small enough for Bean, I dunno, but what luck, right?

Sweetums: Uh... ok. Elmo and I are gonna go watch cartoons.

Alex and Bean head over to Bo's room.

[The Count]

OK... Everybody else on Floor 1, close your rooms tight! Alex and Bean are going to fix Bo's plumbing problems.
UD: Or make it worse.
Hexactly.
*Closes room's door and locks it shut behind us safely inside.

[Beakerfan]

Alex and Bean barge into Bo's room and begin searching all over for the leak.

Alex: Bean, pull your pants up! No need to be a stereotypical plumber....

Bean: *pulls his pants up and continues to search for the leak*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Oh boy, Alex I don't think you were made for this job.
(Blinks)

Bunsen:
I think she's doing an excellent job!
(Stares on without much of an idea on what they're doing)

Claudia:
I need to thank Erin for that defoliant...

Dr. Van Neuter:
I'll supervise these knuckleheads.
'Cause, if they lke totally screw up...
then my nails will be ruined.

I cannot allow that.

Claudia:
Ignore him.
He's such a drama king...

Bunsen:
Shall we?

Claudia:
Sure.
What's on tonight?

Bunsen:
Mm, well, I was thinking...

(The two go back to their room)

Beaker:
(Helps Alex out)
Meee.
(Winks at her)

Dr. Van Neuter:
(Rolls eyes)

[Erine81981]

Plumber Grover: *burst into Bo's room* Did someone call for a plumber? *rushes over to Bean* Hey cute little bunny rabbit. You are adorable just like me. So just show me where this leak is and i will help you guys out.

One birdy, two birdies, three birdies...

Nope! Got stuff to do you know!

Bunsen:

Bunsen:
Oh dear, they've been affected by a rare disease.
It causes people to have a strange love for books and dance
with cardboards.

Totally, I personally like reading Harry Potter.

Ryan: I'm afraid not... but I could leave you guys with someone else and you could go with them.
Link: Well, just as long as I get to go.
Ryan: *scrunches up face* Thanks Link... Well I'm gonna call Ed and ask if he'll ask around for people to look after you guys. *dials Ed's number*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:

She offers her assistance, Ryan.
Please, do not refuse her request.

Dr. Van Neuter:

[BEAR]

Bryan: (calls Scooter) Hey Scooter. Oh gosh, I hope I didn't wake you. Just wanted to tell you that all of my roomies (Big Bird, Snuffy, Ernie, Bert and Cookie) will be making the trip to Sesame Street. As for me, I have two performances that day so I'll get there when I can. Thanks, pal! Night!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
Mm..meep meep meep.
Meep meeep meep.
BOOM!

Bunsen:
Of course there is!
Why, with no explosions happening...
well, we'd be a bunch of boring old men with nothing more to do
than just stare at passing flies the whole day as we allow clear saliva to drip...I think you understand the point, Sir.

Tsstsst.

Beaker:
Meep?
(Blinks and feels himself explode)

Bunsen:
Oh, my dear (foolish) boy!
You've been playing around with the edible bombs again!
Such a silly one you are.

Beaker:
(Wanders off without a head)

Dr. Van Neuter:
The most graphic thing since Saw!

Claudia:
Beakie!

Bunsen:
You've yet to apply, Claudia.
You have many to take to Sesame Street.

Claudia:
Say what?

Bunsen:
Don't you remember at all?

Claudia:
Oh my gosh, and you let me do that?
WOW! I'm in for quite a day! And a rush to sign up!

I WAS A HUN!

Bunsen:
Oh, I'm sorry deary.
You were a fantastic volunteer though!

Claudia:
(Puts on her Hun outfit and runs after Bunsen wildly)

Erin: (at table, looking over story notes) What happened, is Kathy sick?
Scooter: Yeah, and the others are bowing out as well.
Storyteller: (at stove) Not to fret, I'll take Kathy some radish and potato stew. (lifts lid of pot and stirs it)
Erin: And I recommend one cup of chamomile tea later on in the evening. (rummages among notes) Message from Claudia. She, Bunsen, Beaker and Phil are coming - and so are Ryan's roommates.
Nora: But not Ryan?
Beige: Nope, he's otherwise detained. (sniffs air) How long until that soup's ready?
Storyteller: It needs to simmer a bit longer, and it needs more rosemary and tarragon.
Scooter: (scribbling on clipboard) Okay, Claudia, Bunsen, Beaker, Phil...Gonzo, Camilla, Clifford...Link...and Sam the Eagle.
Beige: Good grief, Sam's coming?
Storyteller: This ought to be interesting. (throws more rosemary into the pot)
Scooter: (counting names) 31 so far...34 when we include Ed, the Count and Uncle Deadly.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Hugs Kathy and walks back to her room)

---

Claudia:
(Sings lightly to herself as she slips into her Pjs and gets into her bed)

Dr. Van Neuter, Bunsen, and Beaker:
Done changing?

Claudia:
(Nods happily)
Yup!
(Giggles)

Bunsen:
Why are you giggling, dear?

Claudia:
No reason!

Dr. Van Neuter:
She's doing her usual nutcase routine.
(Sighs and gets the shocker)

Claudia:
No! Please!
(Hides under her blanket)

Dr. Van Neuter:
I was like...
kidding!

Claudia:
(Lunges out of her bed and lands on him)
RAWRRR!

Dr. Van Neuter:
(Shaking)

Bunsen:
Hyper?

Claudia:
(Giggles madly)

[Erine81981]

Oscar: *notices Claudia acting weird* Uh i better be going. Bye! *upper body zips back into his trashcan with the lid crashing down with a bang* *two furry grungy feet stick out the bottom of the can and shuffle through door*

Back in room 26..........

Oh i can't wait!

Herry: Me either.

Murray: I can't wait to show you my hiding space.

Your hiding space is the best thing to come. I can't wait to see that too. And meet your parents.

Bruce: I'll have to let you meet my parents too.

That will be nice. I know Herry's and Grover's parents and mom will be glad to see us.

Herry: I can't wait to see my sister. She'll be so happy to see me. She has just started kindergarden.

Oh my goodness. She is?

Herry: *nods head yes* And if i'm right, my mom called me and told me she made something for you.

I can't wait even longer! *runs out the door and down to the first floor* Hey Ed! Come on! Let's head out now! I really want to get to Sesame Street now!

Herry: *walking down the stairs* Uh Kyle. Come on. We have to wait. You know the rule.

Oh come on.

Herry: There's times i wonder who's the oldest one is here. *grabs my arm*

Ohhhh alright. *walks with Herry back up to the second floor*

[The Count]

*Already asleep in our comfy beds...

Uncle Deadly, softly: MC Dorms have been brought to you by the letter J, for just resting.
Count: And by the number 2, as that vas featured in Old School Wolume 2 so heavily.
Both: Good/Nighty-night.
Count: And don't let the batty bats bite.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Blushes)
I did not notice Oscar!
Oops...
(Reddens some more)

Bunsen:
I thought you were a human, not a tomato.
But I guess we can clarify just what exactly you are.
(Jokes lightly)


Claudia:
(Buries her face into the pillow)

Dr. Van Neuter:
You're making it worse...
good job!
(Smiles widely)

Beaker:
Meee meee?
(Pokes Claudia)

[redBoobergurl]

Wanda: I don't know what to pack for tomorrow!
Beth: It's Sesame Street, go casual
Abby: I don't have to pack that much cause I can just go to my house if I need something!
Mokey: Are you excited to see your Fairy Mommy and Daddy?
Abby: Yes! I miss them
Red: I just can't wait to see all those kids. We always play lots of fun games, it's just as much fun as Fraggle Rock!
Mokey: Hey, we should take all of our friends there sometime
Red: How would they all fit, they are bigger than us
Mokey: Anything is possible with the magic. But anyway, I'm told there is a lovely park at Sesame Street, I hope to go there and do some painting
Beth: It's going to be a great time, it's one of my favorite places to go

[BeakerSqueedom]

[Well, it's the afternoon in my time. Time to get this chaos started...]

Sam:
This is most informative!
(Looks somewhat intrigued)

Claudia:
Isn't it? I checked out this book over at MDC's library.
Very interesting stuff concerning American History. I thought you might
have liked it. So, are you ready for tommorow's big trip?

Sam:
I feel it to be promising!
Hopefully, it has a shortage of weirdos.
(Glares at Link, who happens to be gobbling down sweets)

I hope you all practiced on your manners!
I want our presence to be pleasent and effective, not strange
and disgraceful!

Clifford:
Dr. Dew, do you ever go out?
Vive' la vida loca?

Bunsen:
Of course, I can get jiggy with it.
Get down with my intellectual bad self.
Row the old boat...

Clifford:
(Chuckles weakly)
Yeah, fo' sho'.
You da' Dew...

Where's the food, man?
I be starvin'!

Bunsen:
I should not state the obvious...
but I will.

In the fridge.

Link:
Hmmhmmmhmm...
(Looks at himself in the mirror, arrogantly)
Hello handsome, where have you been all my life, hmm?

Claudia:
Under my foot!
(Grabs her compact mirror from him)

Gonzo:
Woooooowwww, this is GREAT!
DO IT AGAIN, HAHAHAHA!

Hey, I smell like toast!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Sure!
(Presses the button and causes another painful electrical flow)
Yeah, you smell pretty weird!

Beaker:
MEEEPMEEEPMEEEEEEEP!

[The Count]

Mmm... Home again, good, it's raining just a little now, traffic in town's a bit mugged up at the moment. Well, a bit of a rest and dinner, and then off to watch Kermit's appearances on TV later.
Count: So are ve going?
Of course we are.
UD: Good, I was waiting to go tell Scooter.
*Skulks away.

*Ed sits down to check his replies and threads and stuff of that nature.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Bunsen, can I talk to you for a second?

Bunsen:
Oh?

Claudia:
Yes you!
(Pushes Beaker out of the room and closes the door)

Bunsen:
Beakie!

Claudia:
Shush.
I think we may have a new resident moving in...
sadly...Beaker won't like it very much.

Bunsen:
(Looks amused)
You mean...?

Claudia:
Yes! Shhhh!
I managed to convince him a little...
Alex will be happy.

A little surprise for teh awesome gal.

Bunsen:
....Beaker will get severly agitated.

Claudia:
Don't worry, I have a solution!

Bunsen:
So, he must be filling the application right now?

Claudia:
Not right now...
but soon!

This is gonna be great!
---

Beaker: Meee?

[The Count]

Uncle Deadly, spotting Beaker outside: Ah... If you could please assist with something over here...
*The two huddle, peering at the secret baubble, gazing and prodding making sure it's safe to reveal to the Count tomorrow.
UD: Yes, quite amazing indeed. Now then, perhaps there is something I can help you with?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
I swear, I have the feeling we're being watched.
Are the walls thin here?
Probably a chill from the window!
(Blinks)

Bunsen:
Oh, not at all.
My dear, you're just paranoid, simple as that.
Now, who's up for a daring game of cards?

Clifford:
Da' question is, is da' Dew scared?
Boy, do you think you're really up to it?
(Smirks)

Bunsen:
Nonesense, I'm sure fear has nothing on me.
I do to think that I am fit for it--mentally.
Mmm...anyone else?

Gonzo:
Count me in!
What are we betting on?
Bombs?
(Eyes widen up with glee)

Link:
Hmmm...

(They stare at Claudia)

Claudia:
What?...
ooohhh nooo...
I'm outta here.

I'm not gonna be some bet thing.
Coming?
(Looks to Sam)

Sam:
Hmph.
I'll do just about anything to get away from these nutcases.
Lead the way, little obnoxious girl...

Beaker:
(Comes back inside)
Meep?

Bunsen:
Join the fun, Beakie!
We're betting on Swill!
How dandy!

Beaker:
(Sighs and shrugs)
Meep.

[Katzi428]

Prairie:Kath...Kermit's supposed to be on TV twice tonight!
Yep..I know. You all set to watch him?
Rosita:Yeah.I think he'll do great! He's a very smart frog.So I think he'll do very well on Deal Or No Deal
Good thing Kermit will be on that cooking show instead of The Swedish Chef!
Prairie:Yeah....that would be a disaster!

[The Count]

Count: Not as big a mess as those Iron Chefs. But ah, such mealtime masterpieces they make.
UD: Some of those dishes are enough to make your stomach die from simply staring at them.
Me: Yeah, but it's always great fun. Come on guys, I think Claudia and Camilla will be joining us in a little while. You got the popcorn ready?
Count, counting the popped kernels: 54, 55, 56, 57, vhat? Yes, it's ready.
*Brings in the garlic salted fluffs.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Hears her name)
Yup, I'm paranoid.

Camilla:
Brawk!

Claudia:
So I'm not?
I did hear correctly?

Camilla:
Brawk brawk...

Sam:
Hm, why not!
Better than hanging out with them.

Claudia:
(Frowns)
I love my nerds...
lay off.

(Carries Camilla giddily and peeks into Eddie's room)
Hey,
I got the marshmellows!
(Throws herself on the sofa)
We're gonnnaa crasshhh Eddiiieee'ssss roooooommm...
(Sings to herself)

Sam:
That popcorn certainly smells delicious.

Camilla:
Brawk!
(Pecks at the Marshmellow in Claudia's hand)

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: Oh, rats!
Boober: Where? (jumps up onto Tosh's bunk)
Tosh: (reading May Bird and the Ever After) D'you mind? I'm trying to read here.
Kim: Not literal rats, Boober. Figurative rats. As in, we missed the sign-up for the trip to Sesame Street this year.
Gillis: Well, you have been awfully busy at the library this week. You can't be faulted for being preoccupied with work.
Kim: I know, but we had a good trip last year-
Boober: Certain people's motion sickness not withstanding.
Gillis: (glares)
Kim: -and I know you guys were probably looking forward to seeing Betty Lou again.
Mimzy: Well, it's not the end of the world. We can find other stuff to do while everyone else is gone, right?
Kim: True, dat.

-Kim

[The Count]

Oh hey sis... Be back in a sec, have to talk to someone.
*Leaves.
Count: Popcorn anyone?
Uncle Deadly snatches a few kernels for himself and a few marshmallows for Batty.
Fatatatita curls up near the Count once he sits down to watch Kermit's appearances.

*Knock on Door #19.
Hey Kim... If you want to come with us to Sesame tomorrow, you're always welcome. The sign-up date was for everybody to know the trip was coming and to say whether they'd be joining us or not with a bit of time for them to prepare. So if you want to come, you're more than welcome, along with your roomies too of course. Hope that's OK, have a good night.

*Gets back to Room #1. So, what'd I miss?

[Katzi428]

Rosita:Kermit was GREAT tonight!
I know!That cake he was helping make tonight looked delicious huh?
Prairie:Yep!I tried writing down that pumpkin cake recipe as quickly as I could but wasn't fast enough.
That's OK Prairie.You can either find it Online or your mom has the recipe.
Rosita:I couldn't help but giggle when Kermit was covering his eyes or looking like a nervous wreck on Deal Or No Deal
Prairie:A couple of times he looked like he was biting his nails.
I think he was praying,Prairie. I'm pretty sure frogs don't have nails.
Prairie:True.

[The Count]

Well... He could've been nibbling at his fingertips.
*Laughs at the line about Kermit burgling a house to use their oven.

He even promoted TMS Season 2 on DVD... And I absolutely loved both his appearances tonight. But how do you think Piggy will take it that she and Kermit won't be double dating?

[Katzi428]

Well... He could've been nibbling at his fingertips.
*Laughs at the line about Kermit burgling a house to use their oven.
LOL...yeah,that was funny!:)

He even promoted TMS Season 2 on DVD... And I absolutely loved both his appearances tonight. But how do you think Piggy will take it that she and Kermit won't be double dating?
I honestly don't think Miss Piggy will take it very well.:eek:

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Wha...wha?
Say what?

Oh darn, I fell asleep.

Sam:
How rude.

Camilla:
(Tries to hide her empty bag of marshmellows)

Claudia:
Oops, sorry Eddie.
I just...drifted off.
(Smiles cheesily)

Camilla:
(Shakes head)
Brawk..

Sam:
Agreed.

Claudia:
I heard that...
BYES!
(Skips back to her room)

Sam:
Let us follow...
(Sighs)

[The Count]

Is OK sis, someone probably taped it. Good night you crazies.
Huh? Oh yeah...
MC Dorms have been brought to you tonight by the letter K for Kermit... An by the number 9.
Count: Mmm, yes, counting up to 9 is fine by me.
*Strokes Fatatatita's sleek black fur gently.

Come now, time for bed, we have a big day tomorrow. Big day indeed!
*Mischievous twinkle, plotting something to post.

[Erine81981]

Good night everyone.

Grover: Good night.

Herry: Good night. *truns off table lamp beside bed*

Murray: Good night. *yawns, rolls over on his bed*

Bruce: Good night. I love you all!

Everyone: We do too!

All the lights go off expect for a flicker of the TV in my room.

[Katzi428]

Rosita:Good night everyone.
Prairie:Sleep well
Sweet dreams
everything is quiet in room 6 except for the soft purring of Gaffer on my bed

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(tonight)

Erin: Food's in the fridge; we'll load it tomorrow.
Scooter: Has anyone seen my radio? (grabs phone) Oh, hi, Kim - yeah, there's still room. Just meet us all at the bus tomorrow, all right?
Storyteller: Now, I want everyone to get a decent night's sleep for once...
Nora: I can't find my Off the Beaten Path, Sesame Street edition.
Beige: Has anyone seen my trench coat? I left my wallet and my spy camera and my stopwatch in it, and...

(group's collective thoughts jump to what will happen next morning, when they are waiting by the bus - this is here 'cause MN just realized she shall be away from a computer for a good part of the day)

Erin: (rubbing hands, and scanning sky over the city) Cold today - the weather report said highs in the low 50s, chance of rain.
Scooter: We're expecting at least 40 people to show up. (shuffles through notes on clipboard)
Storyteller: Scooter, dear, help me load this picnic basket into our luggage compartment, won't you?
Nora: Wonder how bad traffic's going to be? I heard that there's construction going on near the turnoff, and...
Beige: In Fraggle Cave, before a big outing, there'd always be - (sniffs air) Anyone mind if I sneak one of those blueberry scones in the basket? My toast is getting kind of lonely.

(now, back to tonight)

Erin: (sipping chamomile tea) This time, we're at least making it to the bus.
Nora: Yeah, last time it was on a weekday, so we had to catch a train out of Nelson Square.
Scooter: If you're going to talk to Little Jerry and the Monotones, I'd like to join you.
Beige: As for me, there's a fascinating rock pile near the park that I'd like to check out...
Storyteller: All right, we'll discuss travel plans in the morning. It's getting late, so off to bed, all of you.

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: (hangs up phone) Kayo guys, we're set to go tomorrow. So get your things together so that we're ready to go in the morning.
Tosh: Are we driving there like we did last time, or are we taking the bus with everyone else?
Kim: Hmm. Doesn't really matter to me. Gillis, what about you?
Gillis: Well, I suppose as long as I get a window seat both ways I'll be fine...
Tosh: Bring a bottle of water or something; that might help settle your stomach.
Mimzy: And don't eat right before we have to leave, too. That way your stomach won't be trying to digest while we're on the road.
Kim: I'll synch up the iPod with a travel playlist for you tonight, Gillis. Listening to music might keep your mind off it, or at least help you sleep.
Gillis: Thanks, everyone.
Boober: And I'll bring along a garbage bag...just in case.
Kim: (raises eyebrow in Boober's direction) So bus it is, then.

-Kim

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Oh, I'm so excited! Aren't you, Radar?
Ernie: You done packing, Bert?
Bert: Yeah, but I'm missing a sock. Oh, those darn dorm laundry facilities.
Ernie: Hmm...maybe you should start having Boober do your laundry.
Bert: Better than those machines! I'm always losing socks!
Cookie: (tries to hide part of an argyle sock hanging out of his mouth) Urp! 'Scuse me.
Big Bird: You sure you don't want us to wait for you?
Bryan: No, I have 2 shows tomorrow and the second one won't be done til late in the evening. You all go ahead. I want you to have fun. I'll meet up with everyone as soon as I can.
Snuffy: We'll miss you.
Bryan: Thanks, Snuffy, but I'll see you guys soon. Now, I am placing the grown-ups (Ed, Kyle, Beth, etc..) in charge of you guys while I'm absent. Mind what they say and be good.
Big Bird: We will.
Bryan: I wonder if Ed has arranged how Snuffy's going to travel there.
Snuffy: I'm sure he has it all figured out. He's a smart guy.
Big Bird: Walking is always an option too. It's good exercise.
Snuffy: Good idea, Bird. If anyone's as smart a guy as Ed, it's you!
Big Bird: Thanks!
Bryan: Yeah. Okay, well I'm off to sleep. I may not see you in the morning, so have a safe trip to Sesame Street.
(we all exchange goodnights and head off to bed)



(OOC: I really won't be around much to participate tomorrow or maybe all weekend...we'll see, so if Kyle, Ed, Beth or any of you want to take on any or all of my roomies, please feel free. Ed, I will leave this up to you. Thanks. I'll be there when I'm there as I said)

[The Count]

*OOC: No worries Bry, we'll be at Sesame for the usual week's time. Join us when you can, it'll be OK. Now then...
Count consults the bus schedules to see what time would be good for everyone to leave...
UD: Didn't we get the musical mayhem's bus?
Me: Um... Forgot to ask Maddie.
UD: Eh... It's all the same to me then. After all, you were able to convince the powers that be to allow me safe passage and stay at that oft-treaded far away neighborhood.
*A small smile creeps onto the phantomly dragon's face.
Count: Vhat are v doing about Snuffy?
Me: Oh... I thought we could call the Snuffle-Up-a-Bus Company.
UD: Smart.
Me: Thought so. Let's off to Everybody Eats for breakfast and then meet here to get things started.
*Unseen crowd: Why don't you get things started?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Clifford:
Since I won fair and square last night,
this ol' hip muppet is gonna dig in first.
Mmhmm!

What should I choose...

Bunsen:
Please increase the aptitude.
I feel faint at the sudden suspense.
Oh, do decide quickly and relieve me of my doom.
(Says somewhat jokingly)

Sam:
Greetings!

Link:
Hi birdy, want a cracker?
Mmm, swill...

Sam:
My name isn't birdy, you twit.
I am a bald eagle, the mere symbol of America, home of the brave and true.
Not a silly little parrot who munches on stale crackers.

Camilla:
(Snuggling up to Gonzo)
Brawk brawk...

Gonzo:
Oh gosh, not in the dinner table, sexy stuff!
We'll do that later.
(Nudges)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Get a room!

Clifford:
This is the room, fool!
But yeah, we've got a little lady here.
Ain't that right, Claudia?

Claudia:
(Scratches against the chalk board with a screeching sound)

Beaker:
MEEEEE!

Bunsen:
(Falls out of his chair)

Clifford:
(Twitches)

[A series of reaction occurs]

Claudia:
(Twitches)
Alright, listen up.
We're GOING to have FUN!
ON SESAME STREET!
AND WHEN WE DO...
WE ARE GONNA BE GREEEEEEEAAAAAATT FRIENDS!
HAHA!

You thinkin' something?
Wanna be startin' something?
OOOHHH YEAH!
YOU DO!
(Eyes roll back a bit as she does her strange laughter)

Clifford:
(Shaking)
I miss, Ryan.
Really badly now.
He was a little more submissive...

Bunsen:
Oh, this happens routinely,
Claudia's a terrible morning person.
But, just wait for her to cool down.

Orange juice, my dear?

Claudia:
(Grumbles and snatches it away)
Mmmfff...fff...

Bunsen:
I have successfully tamed the beast.

Beaker:
(Nods)

Sam:
Get me out of here...

Link:
I thought she was a man...
(Looks shocked)

Bunsen:
We've done a series of experiments to testify what exactly is she. When we first met her, we decided to call her "it". It was a long and hard road to discovery. It still shocks me to this day that it was scientifically prove that she is indeed a girl.

Clifford:
Man, I'll drink to that.

Sam:
Sorry Claudio...
I mean, Claudia.

Link:
(Looks up to see her angered expression)
Uhh....swill?

Gonzo:
WOW!
(Pokes her)

Claudia:
(Grumbles)

Camilla:
Braaawwkk...
(Rolls eyes)

Claudia:
Only women have common sense.

[Beauregard]

Bo: I'm so ill...sick...tired...bleh...meh....fleh...eh....
Beau: You have got to figure out how to turn off the synonyms feature....

[The Count]

Not to mention turn off the quick posting feature. *Cough.

OK, everybody that's going to Sesame Street... Our bus is here and waiting in the dorms parking lot. Good ol' HV123, it'll take us all to our sunny street stomping grounds. Snuffy, the Snuffle-Up-a-Bus will be here for you after we've left, the fare's been taken care of. Count, doing a last-minute headcount: Mmm, ve're all present, let's get this show on the road!
*All the dormies get onboard, picking their seats and plugging their headphones into the jacks to the bus's radio already set on MC Radio.

And we're off to Sesame Street!
*The bus rolls off, full of rolicking and singing residents from the MC Dorms.

[Skeeter Muppet]

(as the bus merrily rolls along, rolls along)

Kim: How're you doing over there, Gillis?
Gillis: (taking off his headphones) All right so far.
Boober: (sitting next to him in an aisle seat) Of course, we've only been on the road for half an hour...
Kim: (ignoring Boober) Good. Girls, how 'bout you?
Tosh: We're fine, Kim. I'm telling Mimzy all about our trip to Sesame Street last year.
Mimzy: It sounds...interesting.
Kim: (chuckles) Don't worry, Mimzy; you'll understand it a lot better once we get there.

-Kim

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
I'm getting bus sick.
(Hears "Hit 'em up" by Blu, using her own CD player)

Bunsen:
I'm quite comfy.

Clifford:
Ry-guy sho' is missin' out!

Camilla:
Brawk!

Gonzo:
I don't know, I kind of miss him.
(Balances marshmellows on his hooked nose while singing "I'm not wearing underwear today")

Sam:
Get a grip, sister.
(Says stiffly)

Claudia:
I should...

Dr. Van Neuter:
(Sleeping)

Beaker:
Meee mee mee mee.
(Pats Claudia on the shoulder as he sits on her lap)

Camilla:
Brawk buck!

Claudia:
Sure, let's talk girl talk!
I need it badly!
Do you know how strange it is to live with muppet guys?

Clifford:
Move to another seat.
Wantin' to hear none of that...

Claudia and Camilla:
(Giggle)

[The Count]

Count, at one of the window seats: Mmm, looks like it'll be raining soon.
*Hears the thunder outside the bus.
*Both he and Ed instantly smile as they see the white number counting up the thunderclaps floating in mid-air before it vanishes once again.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: All right guys, everyone comfortable?
Red: Yep
Mokey: I'm good
Beth: Where's Abby?
Wanda: She's sitting with Big Bird, keeping him company since Snuffy's on the other bus
Beth: Oh good, we'll be there before we know it

[Erine81981]

Grover: My mommy is going to be so glad to see me.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Curls up a little in her sleep)

Beaker:
(Pats Claudia)
Mee mee...meeep meep mee.

Bunsen:
Aw, don't you worry yourself blue, Beakie.
I'm sure she's just experiencing a minor physical dysfunction
which may be causing her to feel a little...icky.

Nothing could go wrong.

Beaker:
Meep?

Bunsen:
Yes, yes, I am positively sure of it.
(Chuckles)
Silly, Beakie.

Beaker:
Meesheesh!

[The Count]

The bus rolls up to the bus stop at the sidewalk next to the other side of Big Bird's nesting area. The familiar instrumental theme to Sesame Street plays from the bus's sound system, the doors open, the Hensonville vacationers descend to get their luggage off and on to the welcome meeting planned at Hooper's Store.

Hoots, perched above the Sesame Street signpost: Welcome to Sesame Street. Looks like everybody's hoppin' and boppin' to be part of the birthday bash.
*He laughs his traditional chuckling laugh.

Ed: Come on guys, we're meeting at Hooper's first, we can make plans and head out from there.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
No...not now...
don't wanna go out.
Sleep....

Bunsen:
Sleep later, move little legs!

Clifford:
This'll be great!
Been a long time since I been back here!
Mmmhmm.

Sup, counting vampire dude.
(Goes with the others)

Sam:
Please do not embarrass me.
We must be tip top!
Give a good impression, men!

Claudia:
(Raises an eyebrow)

Camilla:
BRAWK?

Sam:
(Sighs and shakes his head)
Forgive me.

Link:
Hmm...I like this place already.
(Sees his own reflection at a window)

Dr. Van Neuter:
I wonder why.
(Rolls eyes)

Link:
The joyful atmosphere.
(Says cooly, still looking at himself)

Gonzo:
This is awesome!
Right Camilla?
(Holds her close)

Camilla:
Brawk brawk.

Gonzo:
I know! The people here are sooo nice!

Claudia:
(Wails)
I WANT TO SLEEEEEEEP!

Bunsen:
What are you...
a child?

Come now.

Claudia:
(Reddens)
Uh..no.
I'm not a kid.
I-I-I will go.
(Clears throat)

Beaker:
(Pats Claudia)

[Erine81981]

Cookie M: To Hoopers! *runs over to Hooper's store* Hello Alan! You have any cookies?

Alan: Hey Cookie Monster. How are things going at the collage?

Cookie M: Oooo me loving it. All me freinds and Bryan, he's my room mate. He's very fun to be around. Cookies, Alan?

Oh that Cookie Monster. Always wanting to get there before everyone else. Sorry 'bout that Ed.

Grover: *waves to some monsters in the windows of 123 Sesame*

Herry: I hope my mom is ready for some hairyness. *laughs*

[The Count]

That's OK Kyle... He's Cookie Monster after all.
Come on Clauds, if you want to sleep, you can do that at any of the rooms we got at 4-5-6 or 7-8-9 Sesame. The bus has to get back to Hensonville.
Count: Jive 5 Clifford. *Slaps hands with the purplish catfish-faced Muppet.
Uncle Deadly: Mmm, the colors here are far too bright. If only there were some shadows to skulk around.
*The phantomly dragon hangs back in the umbra of the newspaper/magazine rack or fruit stand outside Hooper's, attempting to remain within his delicious darkness.

[Katzi428]

back at the dorms :
We should have gone to Sesame Street. I really am sorry,girls.
Rosita:Oh Kathy...don't feel bad.We'll go next time.
Prairie:Right! Yesterday you were feeling sick and it didn't seem like a good time for us to go.
But I should have sent you guys on your way.
Rosita:Maybe next weekend we'll make a special trip.Mami and Papi have wanted to see you anyway.
They have?
Rosita: Si. See, since I don't have a big sister,you've been like one to me. And they wanted to thank you.
Awww..no thanks are necessary.
Prairie:You're like a big sister to me too. My mom asks about you all the time when I talk to her on the phone. And you too Rosita.
Well now I don't feel too bad.:)

[The Count]

Hey Alan... Could I please use the phone a moment? Thanks.
*Fishes for a few coins, plunks them in, and dials the dorms' Room #6.
On the third ring or so... Hello, Kathy? Just calling to se how you felt. Oh, that's good, glad you're more of in the pink. We'll be staying here for a week, some might head back early like last year as usual. Wanted to ask if you could look after Fatatatita while we're up here at Sesame. Huh? Oh, she probably either got into the laundry room for a nap or scurried out to the hallway swatting at the flies who get too close to an unnoticed cobweb. Thanks Kath, take care.
*Hangs up the phone and goes to get settled at 4-5-6 Sesame Street.

[Erine81981]

Alan: All the cookies you want Cookie Monster. *brings out a box of oatmeal cookies*

Cookie M: Cowabunga! *grabs the box and just devours the whole box*

Grover: Hey Alan. Can i request a peanut butter sandwich please?

Alan: Coming right up.

Murray: I'll have a baloney sandwich.

Herry: I will take my usaual.

Alan: Alright. Next.

I'll take a two peanutbutters and some chips.

Bruce: I'll take the samething as Murray.

Alan: Next.

[Katzi428]

hanging up the phone Ed just called..Fatatita's around the dorms someplace.So he asked me to keep an eye out for her. He said she's probably in the hallways swatting at flies in cobwebs or down sleeping in the laundry room.I'll be right back.
going into the hallwayFatatita?....FataTEEta?...Yoo-hoo!Here kitty!
Fatatita:Meow?
Over this way Fatatita....yes,I know I'm not Ed,The Count or Uncle Deadly. But I'm your buddy Gaffer's roomie Kathy
Fatatita walks to me and starts purring
That's a good girl! C'mon...you can stay with us.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: All right, Abby's all set with her parents, Big Bird is all tucked into his nest, the rest of us can head to our room in 456 Sesame

[Skeeter Muppet]

(in the building at 456 Sesame, the Room 19 gang are entering their room)

Kim: Well, here we are guys.
Mimzy: But...there are only two beds. What, are the rest of us going to have to sleep on the floor?
Kim: (setting the suitcases on one of the beds) Don't worry, Mimz; no one's going to be sleeping on the floor at any point during this trip.
Boober: Good. I don't want to think about some of the stuff that's been tracked through here on the carpet over the years. Yecch!
Gillis: Oh, I'm sure they shampoo the rugs once a decade or so...
Kim: A joke, Maestro? You must be feeling better then. Basically we've got two options - the girls share one bed while Boober and Gillis share the other, or I hang up the two hammocks I brought.
Gillis: I don't mind spending the night in a hammock.
Boober: I guess I can take the other one.
Tosh: Cool, that means Mimzy and I get the bed!
Kim: And I get the other one. Okay, let's get these hammocks set up, then. Tosh, you get Beast set up in the closet okay?
Tosh: Okay. Are we going to visit Betty Lou tomorrow?
Kim: You bet.

(Looks into the little article)
Tsstsst...

Beaker:
(Looks puzzled)

Claudia:
Spain's king, Juan Carlos, told Chavez to shut up!

Clifford:
Dang, is he that annoying?

Claudia:
Sorry, I just dislike him.

Bunsen:
That was very daring of Mr. Carlos!

Gonzo:
*Flies in the air while singing*
COULDN'T WEE FLLLLLYYYYYYYYY!

Scientifically impossible.
Though, you shot out of a cannon...
I guess it is possible.

Goodbye, Mr. Gonzo!

Somehow we'll get by...

Clifford:
Please...I'm in no mood for singin'.

[The Count]

*Downstairs at Hooper's... Mmm, this chicken catchatori sandwich's really good. Thanks for it, and the bottles of apple juice Chris. If some of the others come by, please tell 'em I'm going to be at the park and then off to the Sesame Street moviehouse.

*Pays for his meal, gathers a couple of coins to leave as a tip, picks up a laptop with headphones so the computer's voice won't bother anyone else and exits the diner en route for greener pastures.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Scooter: (glances at watch) It's after five. Is anyone hungry?
Nora: Well, I could go for a snack or something.

(group ducks in to Hooper's)

Erin: Let's see...I'll take one orange-spice tea and two ginger scones.
Nora: Same here.
Scooter: One hot cocoa and some apple crumble.
Beige: One coffee and a piece of sour cream cake.
Storyteller: One mint tea and a cup of radish soup.

(orders arrive a little later)

Storyteller: So, what did everyone do? I dropped in at the library for a most enjoyable book discussion...
Beige: Did you guys see that rock pile down by the park? Most impressive piece of natural architecture I've ever...
Storyteller: It's a rock pile, Beige.
Nora: I went browsing at the used book shop. They've got some good stuff in there.
Scooter: Little Jerry and the Monotones were doing a quick gig by one of the phone booths down on EFG Street, so I stopped to watch - but the police put a stop to it for some reason.
Erin: That's right, I've been meaning to ask about that studio album they're doing with the Beetles. (slurps tea) And I just went for a walk around the park this afternoon after stopping in to visit the paper - so, good day all around, it sounds like.

[The Count]

*Exits the moviehouse... Mmm, that was a good movie, all about this 0 who turns out to be a hero, saving the number 1 from a fate of impending loneliness, boarding the love cruise run by 2, all to find out that 3 really is a magic number.

Hmmm, wonder if there are any interesting trinkets or souvenirs at Finders' Keepers. Will have to check tomorrow... Gotta check back in and see if the new Muppetcast episode's been posted or if the rest of the gang has any night plans.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Kim: Hmmm...not sure. Probably walking around the Street, maybe stopping in at the library for a little bit. And I promised Tosh I'd walk Beast, so I've got to do that sometime today too. How 'bout you?
Gillis: I'm going to pay Bob a visit, and then Hoots invited me to the Birdland club.
Kim: And Boober, Mimzy and Tosh will be with Betty Lou at school all day. Sounds like we've all got something to keep us busy. So, meet you at Hooper's Store for lunch?
Gillis: It's a date. (blinks as he realizes what he said)
Kim: (sniggers)

Ryan: *tiptoes into Dorm room quietly* Maybe if I'm not too loud they won't come back until tomorrow... and I'll get some peace and--
Sam: *jumps up from behind chair wearing a strainer on his head* RYAN!
Ryan: *jumps, tossing luggage everywhere* Sam! What the heck are you doing here?
Sam: No time to talk- *grabs Ryan by wrist and pull shim behind chair* They could be anywhere... they're insane, I tell you!

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: *wearing an aluminum foil helmet, completely unresponsive*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *blink* Sweetums? ...I wondered why there was a foot on my back.
Sam: Uch, deplorable.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Sweetums? I think maybe you should come with me. It's a little too weird around here if you ask me. *looks out the window thoughtfully, then takes Sweetums' hand and guides him back to her room*

Bean: Oh good you found Sweetums!

Alex: Yeah.... don't go in Ryan's room. There's something weird going on over there.

Bean: *already out the door, walking to Ryan's room*

[theprawncracker]

Sam: *grabs Bean and stuffs him in a pot for protection* Don't. Move.
Ryan: I'd do what he says.

[Beakerfan]

Bean: *squished into the pot, looks frightened* Um, Ryan, uh, sir? What's wrong with Sam? He's not - He's not going to... *gulp* Go postal? Uff, this pot is actually kind of comfy! *Snuggles into the pot as best he can, trying his hardest to look cuter than ever*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *shakes head* Sam, can I see the pot please? *takes pot* *hurls it out the door* Good night Sam.
Sam: You can't go to sleep! They might find you!

[The Count]

*Note arrives at the dorms, addressed to Ryan and Alex.

Hey guys... Hope you're OK on your own back home. Dunno how Sam got away from my sis, but no worries, we won't be coming back until next weekend, probably Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon at the latest. Take care and see ya soon.

Ed "The Count".

[BeakerSqueedom]

[They arrive with the use of a teleporter]

Claudia:
(Kicks down the door with her combat boots, clad in white dictator uniform. Puts on her dictator cap quietly and holds a water gun)
Come out, Sam!
I've yet to blast you to the next century!
Be a patriot, and fight like a man!

Bunsen:
You mean bird.
(Dressed as a general)

Claudia:
Hah, of course, Bunnie.
(Clears her throat, so as to cover up her giggly nature)

Beaker:
(Dressed as a soilder)
Meep!

Bunsen:
Why must I be dressed this way?
I feel so silly! I seem so bare without my labcoat.

Claudia:
But, we're in a war!
(Wanders through the hall with maniacal laughter)
The little Colombian gal, fell into the river...
Lalalala...

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: *still wearing foil hat, bursts out of his room wearing army fatigues* Captain Sweetums reporting for duty, ma'am! *salutes*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
I have an alley!
(Glomps Sweetums)
Now, where is my dear Alex?

Beaker:
(Gasps happily at the sight of Sweetums. Abandoning his post, he runs off to find Alex)

Claudia:
Beaker will be in charge of that.

Bunsen:
Hello, Captain Sweetums!
(Chuckles)

Claudia:
A pot?
Rabbit stew?
BEAAANNN!
This.Means.War.
SUPER SOAK THEM!
(Whips out a supersoaker)
(Takes him out of the pot)

[Beakerfan]

Bean: *clings tightly to Claudia, still a little frightened*

Sweetums: *holds up a bazooka-sized super soaker* Let's do this!

Alex: *still in bed, wakes up to find Beaker standing at the side of her bed* Good moooorning Beaker! *sits up and squeezes him in a snuggley hug* It's so nice of you to come by! *ruffles his hair* I love the new look, too! *goes to the kitchen* Would you like some breakfast?

[BEAR]

Bryan: (calling out the window of room 21 at the Furry Arms Hotel) Hello, Sesame Streeeeet!
Hoots: (perched just outside the window) Hey, hey, hey! Cool those pipes, my man!
Bryan: Hey, Hoots! Sorry.
Hoots: (chuckles) Don't sweat it. When did you get in?
Bryan: Late last night. Boy, was there a lot of traffic. Kathy, Rosita and Prairie Dawn caught a ride with me too, but it was too late in the evening for the girls to go home, so I booked them a room here at the Furry Arms. I hope they slept well. I know I did.
Hoots: Good! Well, I'm glad you made it and I know a certain other bird who will be happy you made it too.
Bryan: Big Bird.
Hoot: That's the one! Heheheh!
Bryan: I wonder what he's up to.
Hoots: Well...it's about that time in the afternoon where he gets a craving for something cold and smoooooth...
Bryan: A birdseed milkshake at Hooper's.
Hoots: Man, you're good!
Bryan: Haha! I'll catch ya later, Hoots.
Hoots: In a while, crocodile!

(At Hooper's...)
Big Bird: (sitting at the counter resting his head in the his hand/wing, sadly) Make it a double, Alan.
Alan: You're still sad about Bryan not being here, huh?
Big Bird: Isn't it obvious? He said he would come and he's not here.
Alan: Well, don't worry, Big Bird. I'm sure he'll get here soon.
(the bells on the door chime)
Bryan: Am I too late for the birdseed special?
Big Bird: Huh? (looks up) Bryan! You're here!
Bryan: Of course, I'm here. I wouldn't miss this trip for anything! Hi, Alan.
Alan: Good to see ya!
Bryan: How have you been?
Big Bird: Fine. I've visitted with some of my friends here who I don't get to see much, but mostly I've just been enjoying my nest. Beth, came and kept me company one day and we just watched the street. It was nice.
Bryan: Good!
Big Bird: But now that you're here we can have even more fun! Do you wanna go rollerskating in the park?
Bryan: Sure...
Big Bird: Come on! Bye, Alan!
Alan: Big Bird, what about your birdseed milkshake? (holding up the already prepared glass)
Big Bird: Sorry, Alan. Not now! You can give it to someone else! (drags me out of the store)
Alan: Who else on Sesame Street is going to drink a birdseed milkshake? (looks at the glass curiously) Hmm... (looks around to see if anyone is watching, then takes a small sip from the straw) Not bad...not bad at all...

[The Count]

*Comes in to Hooper's after Bryan and Big Bird left, just missing them or not realizing they were just there.

Hey Alan... Uh, could you please make an oatmeal milkshake for me? With raisins? Thanks. Really great to be here for a little while, Sesame Street always has so much to offer and learn from. Hope the gang will show up later in the week for the big sing-along. You know there's going to be a new balloon of Abby in the parade this year? That must be really exciting for her.
*Takes the glass with the shake from Alan and sips a bit, catching a few grains of oat and a raisin or two.

Mmm, delicious, thanks. *Pays Alan and sits at one of the outside tables, waiting for the Count to arrive with his bats to start counting.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
Meep meep.
(Passes his hand through his shocky hair)
Meep meeeeep!
(Hands her a supersoaker)
Meep.

ILOVEYOUMEEP!
(Strikes a dramatic pose)

Claudia:
She's taken, loverboy.

Beaker:
(Falls over)

Claudia:
B-B-Beaker?
Alex, you killed him!

Bunsen:
Oh dear!
Beakie, speak to me!
(Gathers him into his arms)

Beaker:
(Coughs)
Goodbyemeep...

Claudia:
Don't go into the light!

Beaker:
Mee...mee...

Bunsen:
Oh snap out of it.
(Pats him)

Beaker:
O_o MEEEEE MEEEE EMEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Gets into a musical)

Claudia:
Wow...
(Looks to Alex)
What did you do?

Bunsen:Tsstsst.

[LOL! Sorry, I am soooo silly]

[The Count]

*Srinklers go off at the dorms, soaking Beaker back to life and drenching Claudia to get her to post more art and fic and whatever.
Gonzo: Someone call?
No, go back to Ryan's and use ol' Maneuver 81a to get him to post more of PH or Top 100.
Gonzo: Yes sir! *The weirdo salutes, then commences dropping his watery ballooniated payload, while Camilla and other chickens cluck on to the tune of the Song of the Valkyries.

[Erine81981]

*walking down Sesame Street* This is one beautiful street.

Oscar: *pops up* What do you wan....its you. What do you want?

Hey Oscar. Beautiful day isn't?

Oscar: Too beautiful if you ask me. So what you doin'?

Just walking around the street. Enjoying the sun shine.

Oscar: Ahhh fooey!

Oh Oscar. Don't you enjoy anything around here?

Oscar: Nope. Don't like it.

You have to like something.

*music starts up*

Oscar: (spoken) As a matter of fact. There is something that i love around here. (singing) I love that honk(honk!), bang(bang!), whistle(whistle!) and crash(crash!)
that i hear in my neighborhood
Because that honk(honk!), bang(bang!), whistle(whistle!) and crash(crash!)
Makes me feel so good

I don't like the people
the girls or the boys
Give me some more
of that beautiful noise
That honk(honk!), bang(bang!), whistle(whistle!) and crash(crash!)
that i hear in my neighborhoooood!

(spoken) You know there some
other things that i like listening too
So keep your ears open
and i'll tell you about it

(singing) To hear a great...big....drill (sound of some drilling is heard)
Ahh what a thrill
A subway train.....roars....by (sound of a subway runs by)
I wanna sigh
To hear a big...dog....bark! (a big dog barks loud)
Sweet as a lark

And the honking of a car
and the banging of a door
Are things that i could listen
to for ever more

I love that honk(honk!), bang(bang!),
whistle(whistle!) and crash(crash!)
That i hear in my neighborhood
Because that (honk! honk! bang! bang! whistle! whistle! crash!)

I don't like the people
the girls or the boys
Give me some more
of that beautiful noise
That honk(honk!), bang(bang!), whistle(whistle!) and crash(crash!)
that i hear in my neighborhoooood!

Yes sir! That i hear
in my
neighborhoooooood! *laughs*

(Honk!
Bang!
Whistle!
Crash!)

Noise! I love it! *laughs*

*music stops*

I see. You take care Oscar. And don't hate people. Love them. *gives Oscar a big huge wet kiss*

Oscar: Ooooh! Don't ever do that again! *groans and slams the trashlid on his head*

[The Count]

*In the arbor area, counting bats... You know Count, I wonder if we should invite the neighbors from here in Sesame to Thanksgiving at the dorms.
Count: It vould be nice, so many more people and friends to count.
Yeah, kind of like in that one fanfic... Maybe it's one of the shorter ones by Sara or Melissa, I forget exactly which one now.
Count, remembering: Ah yes...

Well, at least I know what to get Oscar for Christmas. *Slight smile.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (on cell phone) Tell me what's going on...uh-huh...Gonzo...water balloons...Flight of the Valkyries...I see. (hangs up, starts whistling the theme from MASH)
Scooter: Business as usual, I take it?
Erin: Don't you know it.
Nora: I just hope they keep the water balloons away from any electronics.

(gang walks past Hooper's)

Scooter: (looking for wallet) Anyone up for milkshakes?
Beige: I could use one.
Nora: Me too.
Storyteller: But it's getting a little close to...oh, why not.

(gang reads the list of flavors on the door, makes a decision on what everyone will have, and heads in)

Erin: Hi, Alan...we'll take two Doozer stick shakes for Storyteller and Beige, one raspberry shake for Nora, one orange shake for Scooter, and a mint chip shake for me.

[The Count]

Huh? M*A*S*H theme music? Must be Erin, don't think Snowths is around here anywhere. Oh well... *Keeps listening to some music from the street on my computer's MC Radio feed with the headphones, making sure Count doesn't count any bats twice.

[Erine81981]

Thanks for the lovely dinner Mrs. Monster.

Murray's Mom: Glad to know you have others who love you as much as we do.

Prairie's Dad: That was really nice of him.Sounds like you both have a lot of good friends over at the dorms.
Prairie:Yeah. But it's always nice to come home when I get a chance.
Prairie's Mom: So Kathy..how was your cruise?
Very nice!The surroundings were beautiful! Plus I played some trivia games on the cruise.
Prairie:We should go on a cruise someday,Daddy.
Prairie's Dadputting a hand on his daughter's head and smoothing her hair Well,we'll see.princess.
Prairie:OK...I won't bug you.
Prairie's Dad: Smart girl.;)
Prairie's Mom:So what do you girls plan on doing while you're on Sesame Street?
Prairie:Ummm..probably going around and visiting some friends.I want to see how much Marco's grown.
I'll probably stay over Rosita's tomorrow night. She was a little uneasy about her dad permanently being in a wheelchair now.So I want to see how she's adjusting with it now.
Prairie's Dad:Sounds good.Carlos is doing better with that chair than I could ever do.
Prairieyawn:Yeah..I agree. Well, I'm tired.
Me too.
Prairie's Mom:OK...goodnight girls.Sweet dreams.
Prairie's Dad:Sleep tight.

Sal: (with his mouth full) Whah diddie sah?
Don: Well, I'm not singing!

Johnny: I'm not singing, Sal.
Sal: Huh?
Johnny: Gotta rest the throat.. big concert this weekend.
Sal: Right, right.. ok.. I'll sing!

everyone groans and covers their ears

Now, when I was just a little monkey,
climbin' in the Jungle's tree,
My poppa said, "Sal, don't let the man get you
Do what he done to me."
'Cause he'll get you,
'Cause he'll get you now, now.

And I can remember the fourth of July,
Runnin' through the backwood, bare.
And I can still hear the old lion's a-growlin',
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.

Born in The Jungle
Born in The Jungle
Born in The Jungle

Wish I was back in the jungle.
Lazin' there in the shade like ya do.
Wishin' I were a fast freight train,
Just a chooglin' on down to Timbuktu.

Born in The Jungle
Born in The Jungle
Born in The Jungle

And I can remember the fourth of July,
Runnin' through the backwood, bare.
And I can still hear the old lion's a-growlin',
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.
Chasin' down a hoodoo there.

Born in The Jungle
Born in The Jungle
Born in The Jungle

All right!

Kim: (whispering) Gillis? How come you're still burning the midnight oil?
Gillis: (sitting at the room's table) Hmm? Oh, sorry Kim. Didn't mean to wake you.
Kim: You didn't, really. So what're you still doing up?
Gillis: Oh, this trip has done wonders for my inspiration! I've gotten so many new ideas for songs, it feels like I can't write them down fast enough. If I stop to sleep I-I might forget something.
Kim: Yeah, but if you go to sleep now you won't run the risk of straining your eyes, falling asleep at the table, getting graphite all over your face and waking up with a crick in your neck.
Boober: (without opening his eyes) And your roommates won't kill you for keeping them up all night, either.
Kim: (glaring at his hammock) You stay out of this and go back to sleep, Boober.
Gillis: (sighs) I suppose your right. Sleep deprivation never gives birth to any good ideas, anyway. (turns off the lamp, hops off the chair and heads to bed)
Kim: Tell me about it.

(Soaked and wails)

Bunsen:
Oh no, I forgot to fix the security sys-

Claudia:
(Finds herself in a cell)
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I AM WET AND LOCKED UP!

Bunsen:
(Sighs)
I'll get to work.

Beaker:
(Sighs as well)

Bunsen:
(Opens up the codebar)

Claudia:
(Adjusts her dictator cap)
Gosh, I might as well just lie here...
suffer my doom.
Like a good girl...

Bunsen:
Don't be so gloomy...

*At Hooper's Store*
Abby: ALAN! Did you hear? They made a balloon out of me for the Macy's parade!
Alan: I did hear that Abby, it's wonderful news
Abby: My mommy and daddy are so proud of me
Alan: Well that's great, they should be proud
*Red and Mokey enter the store*
Alan: Oh hi there, you're Fraggles right?
Red: Yes we are
Mokey: We live with Abby here back at the Dorms in Hensonville
Alan: Well welcome to both of you. What can I get you?
Red: Doozer sticks?
Mokey: Radish stew?
Alan: Um, I'm not sure if I have the ingrediants for those things, what's a doozer stick?
Abby: I think they taste like sugar
Alan: Oh, ok. *sets sugar cubes in front of Red*
Red: *looks confused* Um, ok. *pops in her mouth* Not quite the same, but not bad
Alan: So besides radish, what goes in this stew?
Mokey: I am not sure, I'd have to ask Boober. That's ok, don't worry about it
Alan: Well just let me know if I can get you anything else *smiles*

[The Count]

Meanwhile... Over at the Fix-It-Shop.
Oye Luis... Hey, que pasa? Sí, queria decirte feliz cumpleaños, que la pases bien.
*Slaps him five, and leaves a birthday card addressed to Luis with a few of the names of the SST gang with smiling mugshots around a cake on the cover on the desk's counter.

*Translation: Hey Luis. Yeah, just wanted to wish you a happy birthday, have a good day.

[Gloat]

*Boppity and Gloat walk slowly up to the locked door of No. 27, they insert the key and open the door, walking to the lone figure at the coffee desk*

Boppity: Adam, you've been just sitting here for days doing absolutely nothing, which means we ain't doing anything, whats wrong?

Adam: Ever since my birthday 2 weeks ago, nothings been right, in fact, this whole years been a ******* disaster! No matter what i lay down i get nothing in return, it's no ones fault, it's my timing, and i just can't help that. Why should we waste space when we could use it for a good reason?

Gloat: so what are we gonna do?

Adam: I dont know, shouldnt come to a conclusion yet untill we're sure of anything

Boppity: .... so you coming out anytime soon? We're bored

Adam: Not for now, just gonna listen to Marillion, maybe i could stay long enough move around, since I only know a few, the others are unknown, Im sure you've sorted yourselves?

Gloat: Sorta, there's always someone to talk to

Adam: Thats good *turns on some Marillion* Go have some fun, im sure someones around the same end of the world *laughs as the monsters walk out the room*

[BeakerSqueedom]

[They transport themselves to the forever happy Sesame Street]

Claudia:
Good thing I know spanish.
Glad I got out of those clothes...
I don't think I'd get happy smiles if I marched here
with that type of wear.

I'm skirty flirty!

Bunsen:
Yes, at least you're looking modest.
It's disturbing to see young people wearing minis.
I'm in a mood for some refreshing milkshake...
Why don't we get some?

Afterwards, we can probably start building that device I had in mind!

Claudia:
Burgers too!

Beaker:
Mmmm..burgersmeep...

Dr. Van Neuter:
It's just us four again!
The Science squad!
Right, men?

Claudia:
(Silently pouts)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Oh, yeah!
And girl!

Claudia:
That's better!
YES!
(Twirls around them happily)

Bunsen:
Come on, silly.
If we're lucky, we may just see some of our friends.

Claudia:
(Smiles and skips around)
I feel sooo youthful!
WHEEEEE!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Well, you're not exactly five...

Claudia:
I'm not thirty either!

Bunsen:
I think I see Mr. Grouch's home!

Claudia:
OMG! TOURIST TIME!
(Gets the camera)
Bunnie...go over there....Beaker...there...

Dr. Van Neuter:
OOOO! PICTURE PERFECT! HOW FAB!

[Adam, it was your Bithdee? OMG! I AM SORRY! HAPPY LATE BITHDEEE! *HUGS*]

Bunsen:
Did I hear a naughty word?

Claudia:
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Not this again...

[Erine81981]

Isn't just a.....*winds starts to blow* Whoa! That's not good. I think there might be a storm a brewin'.

Grover: I hope there is not.

Herry: Maybe it's just the a windy day.

Bruce: *looks at the clouds* That doens't look to be windy clouds. It's going to rain.

Oscar: *pops up* Rain? Did someone say rain?

Yep. It's about to rain.

Oscar: Oh what fun.

The wind gets heavier and trees start swaying back and forth and leaves all blow around the ground. About that time Gordon and Susan tell everyone to get inside that there is a bad storm coming. A bad one!

Go ahead guys. I'll go tell Alan.

All three of the monster race inside

*sees Ed* Hey Ed. It's about to storm a really bad. Susan and Gordon told everyone to get inside. Hey Alan. It's about to storm. *sees Mokey, Red and Abby* Girls. To Susan and Gordon apartment. *heads over to Oscar's can* Oscar! Oscar! *bangs in his trashcan*

Oscar: What?

I have to take you inside.

Oscar: Why? I love it out here! It's a grouches paradise.

*shoves Oscar back into his trashcan,closes the lid, lifts the trashcan and carries it into Gordon and Susan's apartment room*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Hey! I WAS USING THE TRASH CAN!
We were gonna take pictures! Hey...Kyyyylllee!
Where are you go-.....
(Shivers)

What's happening?

Bunsen:
I'm afraid a storm is coming.
I suggest we look for shelter.

Claudia:
Bunniiee!
It's every muppet/man for himself!
Oh wait...herself!
(Grabs Bunsen and follows behind Kyle)

Bunsen:
Oh!

Beaker and Van Neuter:
(They follow Claudia)

Claudia:
I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!

Bunsen:
(Looks at himself through her compact mirror)
And too handsome...
OH THE HORROR!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Drama queens...

[The Count]

*Safely inside 4-5-6 Sesame Street.
Ed and the Count have huge smiles as they count the thunderclaps, seeing the numbers materialize in the air.
Uncle Deadly is sitting in an armchair, sipping away at a cup of freshly brewed green tea.

We'll have to postpone the sing-along until tomorrow or Friday night, maybe get together at Birdland or an impromptu stage in the arbor area.
*The storm continues, as well as the counting.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Still holding Bunsen, looking out the window)
It seems Eddie made it safe.

Dr. Van Neuter:
The vampire, too.

Claudia:
(Grins cheesily)
At least we got pictures with Oscar's trashcan.
(Opens his lid)
Hellooo!

Bunsen:
(Sips on some shake)

Beaker:
(Thinking about Alex)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Wonder how Composta is...

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *sitting on the dayseat, looking out one of the moon-resembling windows* It's sooo pretty out tonight! You can see the stars perfectly!

Sweetums: *sitting in an overstuffed chair, reading "Of Mice and Men"* It sure is!

Alex: *fingers her silver charms thoughtfully*

Sweetums: Don't even think about it missy!

Alex: Think about what? *turns back toward the window*

Sweetums: You know what!

Alex: I think I'm gonna go for a walk outside.... Bean, you wanna come?

Bean: Gee, I'd love to come! But it's a little cold outside... let me get my hat and scarf! *rummages through his dresser and comes back wearing a red flannel hat with earflaps and a blue plaid scarf*

Alex: Ok! We'll be back Sweetums!

[Erine81981]

Grover: It is still raining pretty hard out there.

Herry: I hope everyone is ok. Where ever they are?

Oscar: Why did i have to come in? I was going to take one of my rainy day mud baths.

Bruce: We didn't want you blowing away with all leaves and trash.

Oscar: Trash? I could have been that trash. *slams trashlid*

Oh Oscar. Thanks again Susan and Gordon. I hope it dies down soon.

Grover: I do not know. I would not mind spending the night here. All of our freinds are here. Ed, The Count, Claudia, Uncle Deadly (even tho he gives me the creeps), those two doctor guys, Herry, Bruce, you, grouchie, Gordon and Susan.

Yea but you get to see all them pertty much everyday.

Herry: Not everyone. Susan and Gordon don't live at the dorms.

I guess your right. You don't get to see everyone everyday. It's just we seem to live in the same building we see each other sometimes. I like the idea.

Oscar: *peeking out* Well, i sure don't!

Grover: Oh grouchie.

[Beakerfan]

Elmo: *sitting on the floor with a coloring book and crayons* La la la la laaaaa.... Elmo LOOOoooves to color! Do you like to color Dorothy?

Dorothy: *Bubbles*

Elmo: That's good! Yeah, coloring is fun. Do YOU like to color Mr. Sweetums?

Sweetums: Man I love to color! *gets on the floor and begins to color with Elmo*

Bean: *outside* Alex? Where did you go? I can't see you! Alex? Are we playing hide and seek? *pulls his hat on tighter and cautiously searches for Alex*

[Katzi428]

Rosita's Dad looking out the window My my...what a storm out there! I'm just glad you girls are safe here.
Rosita:I am too,Papi. I try to be brave with storms,but they do scare me.
Rosita's Dad: I know they do,mijaBut Mami and I are here for youkissing the top of her head
Rosita's Mom: Are you afraid of storms,Kathy?
Well..when the lightning blows the power out,I get a bit scared. But I guess that's natural.
Rosita's Mom:Si it isWho wants some hot chocolate? Maybe it'll make this stormy night warmer.
Rosita:Ooh...I do,please! Kathy?
Sure! Need help Senora?
Rosita's Mom:No,gracias,Kathy.Carlos?Chocolate caliente ?
Rosita's Dad:No gracias. I'll just fix myself some cafe'
(OOC:I didn't know the Spanish word for coffee.So I put the next best thing.Also,sorry I didn't put accents on words that needed them)

[The Count]

*OOC: You're doing purrfectly Kathy. "Café" is indeed the Spanish word for "coffee". Like you said, the accents are missing, but I can help you with that if you need it. The only thing I'd say is that Rosita's dad's name is Ricardo, you can find him at Muppet Wiki. Hope this helps and have a great day my friend.

[Beakerfan]

Bean: *walks in, damp and shivering*

Sweetums: Little buddy! *picks up Bean and begins drying him off with a towel* What happened? Where did you go?

Bean: I-I g-g-g-g-got separated from A-A-Alex.... I don't n-n-n-n-know where s-s-s-she went...

Sweetums: Aww, don't worry Bean! We'll go look for her, ok? But first lets get you warmed up!

[BeakerSqueedom]

[Back at their room]

Claudia:
I am so sore!

Bunsen:
You were busy last night.
Of course you'd be in that state.

Claudia:
Yeah, it was fun too.

Beaker:
Meep.

Claudia:
Yeah...we should do that again sometime.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Yeah, you know how to get down, girlfriend!

Claudia:
You guys want to do it again?
(Grins evily)

*An hour later*

Claudia:
OMGSH! TO THE LEFT! LEEEFFT!

Beaker:
(Trying to reach the red spot)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Your butt is in the way!

Bunsen:
Twister may be fun...
but golly does it make one strain!
(Wobbles a little)

Claudia:
EEEE!
WAIT WAIT!
DON'T MOVE SO FAST!

[They all collapse]

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums and Bean are outside searching for Alex.....

Sweetums: Allllex!

Bean: Aallllllex!

Sweetums: Aleeexxxxx!

Bean: Aaaaaaaalex!

Sweetums: Maybe we should go ask Ryan and Sam for some help?

Bean: Okaaay. *gets inside pot*

Sweetums: *picks up pot and carries it back inside to ask Ryan for help*

[Katzi428]

*OOC: You're doing purrfectly Kathy. "Café" is indeed the Spanish word for "coffee". Like you said, the accents are missing, but I can help you with that if you need it.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Snuggles a struggling Bunsen)

Bunsen:
I'm almost done-- please let me finish it up!
It needs some work here and there...
It isn't exactly finished!

Claudia:
Awww!
I'm feeling mushy and you just wanna work on your thingamajig?

Bunsen:
You've been hanging around the Announcement Thread again...
haven't you?

Claudia:
Mmmhmm...
(Snugs)

Bunsen:
I feel so violated...

Beaker:
(In her embrace as well)
MEEEEEP!

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(in the park, the gang is throwing a Frisbee around)

Erin: (throwing Frisbee) Nora, heads up!
Nora: Got it, got it...(catches it) Scooter! (throws it)
Scooter: (jumps up and grabs it) Coming your way, Beige!
Beige: (runs forward) This way...this way...(falls over trying to catch it) Whoa!
Scooter: Sorry about that...
Beige: (gets to feet) No big deal...oh, Storyteller...(throws Frisbee)
Storyteller: (jumps up, just barely catches Frisbee) All right, who gets it next...
Nora: Back to Erin. (looks up) I don't like the looks of those clouds.
Scooter: Yeah, and (shivers) I think the temperature's dropped ten degrees since we got here.
Beige: Oh, it's nothing, probably...

(it starts to rain)

Storyteller: (throws Frisbee back to Erin) Oh, dear - my poncho isn't waterproof.
Erin: Game called on account of weather. Hot chocolate at Hooper's - I'm buying.

(gang shields themselves with jackets and coats and makes a run from the park)

[BEAR]

Bryan: Come on, Cookie. Let's check his nest.
Cookie: Okay.
(At Big Bird's Nest...)
Bryan: Big Bird? Are you okay?
Big Bird: Oh yeah, I'm fine. Just a little wet in my nest is all.
Bryan: Cookie Monster told me about the big storm yesterday and I was concerned.
Big Bird: Oh yeah. I stayed with the Snuffleupaguses last night. Snuffy and I were playing tag in the park when it started to rain. We decided his cave was the closest safe spot.
Cookie: Is your nest okay, birdie?
Big Bird: Oh yeah. Just a little rain and a little wind. Not nearly as bad as that hurricane we had a few years ago. Where have you been?
Bryan: Well, I went back home because I had a matinee yesterday, so I stayed the night back at the dorms. In fact, I have another show tonight, but I wanted to check up on things.
Big Bird: Gee, it must be tiring going back and forth between Sesame Street and the theater everyday.
Bryan: Yeah, maybe I can talk Dr. Honeydew into letting me barrow his teleportation device for the next couple days. I'll certainly save time and money on gas.
Big Bird: Yeah.
Bryan: Well, I'm glad the rain has stopped for a while.
(A huge rumbly noise is heard and Big Bird and I both look at Cookie Monster as if his stomache was growling)
Cookie: Wha? That not me rumbly?
Big Bird: (looking up) Are those dark clouds again?
Bryan: And thunder. I guess the storm hasn't let up for long. Everyone get inside. We'll go to my room at the Furry Arms. Come on!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
It's raining!
Just when I wanted to go out and play as well!

Bunsen:
We had our fun...
Now, be a good girl and get into the machi-

Claudia:
(Running out of the building as a headstart)

Bunsen:
(Opens the window)
Claudia, get back inside!
You'll catch a nasty cold!

Claudia:
Rather that than gettin' into your funky inventions!
(Runs)

Dr. Van Neuter:
She's into superstition, black cats and voodoo dolls
I feel a premonition that girl's gonna make me fall
She's into new sensation, new kicks and candlelight
She's got a new addiction for every day and night
[And it has cookies!]

Bunsen:
She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain

Oh dear...let me rephrase the first line..it was not a very fitting one.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Ew, I hear yah!
(The CD makes a scratching noise)

Beaker:
Meee? EWWW!

Claudia:
I heard that!
(Twirls happily in the rain)

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: Bean, you try Ryan's room, I'll try Claudia's room.

Bean: Okaayyy..... *slowly marches over to Ryans room and knocks on the door* Well, no one there! *runs back to Sweetums*

Sweetums: *gives Bean a look*

Bean: SIGH... *marches back over to Ryan's door*

Sweetums: *knocks on Claudia's door* I heard her here earlier.... Do you think she's still here? If Ryan isn't here why don't you go check on Elmo, ok?

[BeakerSqueedom]

*A sign hangs at her door in the dorms saying "At Sesame Street--no touching Bunnie's inventions on the way in! If you even have the keys...heehee!"*

[tvlistingman]

PETER: We'll, Thanksgiving is around the corner in the dorms, so Zoe, you should invite your Parents

Zoe: Okay

Baby Bear: And I gotta geta a hold of my Family to see they can go to the dorms for thanksgiving

Little Bird: And I can have thanksgiving with the dormies

PETER: We should think of to bring something for the Dinner Thursday

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Her feet lick the ground as she jumps around girlishly with glee, heading for the park)

Bunsen:
I prefer to be inside.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Same here.

Beaker:
Meee...mee...

Claudia:
Come on!
(Sits on the grass and takes out some yummies she packed to serve for breakfast)
We are gonna eat breakfast!
I hope someone comes along...
I think I overpacked it.
(The giant basket looks as if it is about to burst)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Yah think?
Hey, I see a poptart!

Claudia:
See? Yummies...
Honey-baked ham, swiss cheese, and sourdough bread!
A lot of things tah sink our teeth on!
What a pretty day!

Bunsen:
It certainly is...
(Lays back against a healthy tree)
I think I'll take a nibble at that fruit...

[The Count]

...
Uncle Deadly stirs a small skeletal swissel stick, seasoning his traditional green tea with a bit of black pepper: Mmm... We'll be heading back to our old haunt on the morrow.
Count: Ah, but we've had a grand time here back on Sesame Street.
Me: Yeah... Seems like we've hardly done any of our traditional celebrations.

I know... Uncle D, go round up all of our friends from the dorms, Count count up the SST grownups, and we'll all meet at Charlie's for a birthday dinner for Sesame. After that, we'll head back to the arbor area for a good old fashioned Sesame streetwide sing-along.
*Both Muppets brighten up, dispatched off to the pavement pursuing their parolees.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: So when are we heading back?
Beige: I think tomorrow or something.
(knock at door)
Nora: (looking around for wallet) Scooter, want to get that?
Scooter: Sure. (opens door) Hi, Uncle Deadly, what's up...uh-huh...right, I'll tell them. (turns) Guys, there's a big dinner at Charlie's tonight...wait, something else...right. And a sing-along in the arbor afterward.
Storyteller: Oh, excellent, excellent...maybe I'll bring along a few poems to recite.
Beige: Just as long as it isn't the epic of Trevor the Interminable...
Storyteller: Now, Beige, what's the matter with that?
Erin: It takes eight hours to read. (stands up) All right, everyone start packing, so we can party with a clean conscience.

[The Count]

*At Charlie's... Yes, you heard fright Charlie. A whole mess of people in here tonight. You might have to clear everybody else out. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up holding the sing-along in here instead... Comfier atmosphere and who knows if it'll be raining outside when we're finished with the meal.

*Helps put some tables together with the chairs skirting the wooden borders all around the new arrangement of furniture so as to accomodate all the dorms and Muppets and Sesame patrons coming to this shindig.

Prairie:Hi everybody...we're here!
Rosita:Hola!waving!
Hi gang! Let me know if you need help serving,OK?

[The Count]

Oh hi there... Ed holds the chair out for Kathy, while Count and Uncle Deadly do the same for Prairie and Rosita. You seem to be early, don't think anyone else is here yet. Breadsticks anyone?

[Katzi428]

Oh hi there... Ed holds the chair out for Kathy, while Count and Uncle Deadly do the same for Prairie and Rosita. You seem to be early, don't think anyone else is here yet. Breadsticks anyone?
Very polite of you gentlemen!:) And I'll just have 1 breadstick.I want to save my appetite.
Prairie:Same for me.Just 1.
Rosita:Me too please.Just one,gracias.

[The Count]

*Moves the breadstick dispenser forward so Kathy and her roomies can take whichever ones they want. Oh, I believe our waiter monster is nearing.

[Katzi428]

Lemme just frink my troubles away...
(Chugs down a bottle of water)

Bunsen:
Don't you mean drink?
(Pants)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Gosh, lose a few pounds will yah?

Claudia:
120 pounds is nothing...
Besides, I don't want to go.
(Starts singing like a sad drunk )

Beaker:
Breadsticks meep?

Bunsen:
Sounds delightful!

Claudia:
I'll shove that breadstick up...

Dr. Van Neuter:
(Sings loudly, blocking out Claudia's words)

[The Count]

Hey, hey... Is that any way for a cyber-sister of mine to behave? Come on Clauds, you'll be among friends... Good friends, good food, good songs... If you comply, I might just have a page of fic to post. Now come and sit down here between Bunsen and I.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Fic? Post?
(Giggles widlly)
Post? Fic?

Bunsen:
You heard correctly--there is a might, though.
(Munches on some breadstick)
Ooo..very yummy!
A hint of garlic?

Dr. Van Neuter:
Finally, the princess chins up!
(Rolls eyes)

Claudia:
(Beams)
Mmm...

Beaker:
(Offers a breadstick to her)

[The Count]

*Returning followed by Humphrey and Ingrid who are working at Charlie's until Grover shows up, if it happens he's working tonight that is.

Yes... And it's already posted. These two have graciously enlisted as waiters for us. So go ahead and place your orders, mine's on their printed pad at the moment.
*Sits down and sips at his glass of Sprite while the others request their mealtime selections.
