[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
New resident?

Bunsen:
Somewhat.
Want to welcome Mrs. Grouch?

Claudia:
(Clips her nose)
I think I'll pass, Bunnie.

Dr. Van Neuter:
It smells gross.
Hey, cut the garbage in there!

Claudia:
Doc, what are you doing?
Manners, my friend. Manners!

Beaker:
Meep.
Meck!
(Covers his nose, opens the window)

[BEAR]

*Leaves cookies for CM, Claudia Monster, Kathy, Beth, and everybody who'd want some.

Cookie: Ooooh! (slides plate inside door)

[Erine81981]

Big Bird: (Excited) Really? Oscar talks about me to you? What does he say?
Mrs. Grouch: He always tells me that you and that pachyderm play some kinda of game. You touch each other and then run. But he's always saying you were the ones who got the idea for his Grouchketeers. But he's just talks about how you are always cheery and happy. *kicks the Oscar's can again for another dent* Is there anything else you wanted to talk about or what?

Big Bird: Really? What a nice thing to say. That has got to be one of the nicest things Oscar has ever said! Thank you, Mrs. Grouch! Oh, by the way...I brought you some birdseed cookies. I made them myself. Well...with Bryan's help a little. I'm not really supposed to use the oven you know.

Mrs. Grouch: Thank you? What are you doing? I'm a grouch. What are you saying? Oscar? Nice? *takes the cookies* Birdseed cookies? *she groans and gets angry* I'm going to have a talk with my son. *walks back into the trashcan with the birdseed cookies*

[tvlistingman]

PETER: Little Bird

LITTLE BIRD: Yeah, Peter

PETER: Why do you got a clothespin on your beak?

LITTLE BIRD: Because of Mrs. Grouch's visit to Oscar

PETER: Yeah

ZOE: Because i was about to get some juice and Mrs. Grouch car arrived it stink

BABY BEAR: Yeah, it was a bad smell

PETER: Why don't we go to Everybody Eats for Supper

ZOE: Okay!

[The Count]

*Puts on headphones and listens to Muppetcast 42. *Laughs at Cookie's appearance on the old Dick Cavett Show. *Currently hearing Big B's song about the letter V.

[The Count]

Hey! How come there's no activity here?
UD: Everyone's gone to the big 10th anniversary bash for Hensonville and MC.
Oh... Is Count there then?
UD: Yes, he's endlessly counting all the 10s of everything.
Oh, OK... Guess we'll make an appearance there later at the Muppeteer Convention Center.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(some hours earlier, gang departs for big ten-year party.)

(Scooter is wearing a shirt that says "There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary and those who don't." Nora has a new set of silver barrettes shaped like 10s in her hair. Erin is wearing a shirt covered in ones and zeroes. Storyteller carries a chocolate truffle cheesecake with a 10 iced on top, and Beige is gleefully humming "Take Ten Terrific Girls," much to Storyteller's chagrin.)

Cookie: (eying the Storyteller's baked delight) Yum!
Bryan: (Chuckles) Well, as you can see, today's Number of the Day is 10.
Cookie: And what a tasty number it is! (about to snatch some frosting off the cheesecake)
Bryan: (Stopping him) Down, boy!
Big Bird: Hey, Bryan, are we gonna go to the party or what?
Snuffy: Yeah, I'm even wearing my bowtie.
Big Bird: Looks very snappy.
Snuffy: Thanks, Bird. I like your necktie too.
Big Bird: Thanks!
Ernie: You comin', Bert? Come on, we don't want to be late. Ten-hut!
Bert: Ernie!
Ernie: Khekhekhe!

[The Count]

*Today, once the rains stop and the electricity's come back...

Uncle Deadly has a small silvery 10 skull hanging from the chains linked to his recently laundered tattered jacket.
Count returned to retrieve a 10-spotted handkerchief tucked into the lapel of his coat.
Ed sallies forth with his mystical top hat, graced by a 10 of Pumpkins card on the side of the hatband.

OK guys... Let's head out for Hensonville's 10th birthday party!

[Erine81981]

I'll be at the party later on tonight. I'm heading off to work. See you guys then. *waves to Bryan and his gang of merry men and to Ed with his snappy cloak, top hat and cane* *drives off listening to every Sesame Street song with the # 10 in it*

[Skeeter Muppet]

Boober: (blinking) You're home early.
Kim: Yeah. Weather's really cruddy, so the boss closed us down early. The parking lot was practically a skating rink.
Boober: Eucch. Good call.
Gillis: Indeed. Tonight's a good night for staying inside anyway.
Kim: No arguments there.

-Kim

[The Count]

*Meanwhile, at the convention center... *Rubs Fatatita's fur, finding a small 10 pinned to her violet-blackened ribbon.
UD: Mmm, this party's too dead. It needs some livening up.
Yeah... But we can't do anything until Kyle gets here. He's got our music system.
Count chats to Prairie and Rosita near the punch bowl. Rosita has a Spanish dress with festive red and orange diezes printed on them, while Prairie opted for a small pair of 10 earrings to compliment the wristwatch marking 10 oçlock with disregard to the actual time.

*OOC: Guys, I'll be without internet access tonight. So I'll miss out on all the zaniness that takes place when I'm asleep... But even more so tonight. Just carry on with the party, talk to you tomorrow hopefully.

[Erine81981]

*walks in with the music system* Heyyyyy.....hardly anyone is here. Where is everyone?

Murray: Maybe they all went back to the dorms.

Oh come on. I told everyone i would be here.

Herry: Why not start the music?

Maybe so. Ok Murray. You know what to do.

Murray: *pops out of sight and back into site with his DJ getup* Yo yo yo. It's Me Dj Murray here to spin some awsome sweet tracks.

This should get everyone to come in and start dancing.

Herry: I know i want to dance already. *starts dancing arcoss the floor*

[Katzi428]

Prairie sitting on a swing and swinging sadly Boy Rosita...I sure miss Kathy.
Rosita: I do too,but she sees me coming from behind Prairie,and I put my finger to my lips as if to tell Rosita not to say anything I'm sure she'll be back soon.
Prairie:I wish she would.
Better watch what you wish for ,kiddo! pushing Prairie on the swing
Prairie:KATHY!:excited: Is that really you?
No...it's the Man in the Moon!:rolleyes: Now come off that swing and give me a hug!You too Rosita!
the three of us bundle in a group hug
Where's Gaffer?
Rosita:Playing with Fatatita.I'll get her.
No...that's OK Rosita. I'm sure she'll come up to me later.Hopefully she won't hold a grudge against me for being gone for so long.
Rosita:No..I don't think so. How are you feeling,anyway?
Eh...so so. Having good days and bad days. I was sick of sitting home.And I missed everyone.So I decided to come back here.
Prairie:We've missed you too,Kath.And don't worry.We'll take care of you when you're not feeling great.
Thanks.I got all my medical tests done.So I find out the results from my doctor in a bit less than 2 weeks, It seems so long to wait though.
Rosita:We know,Kath.But we,and the rest of the dormies are here for you.
It's good to have friends like you all.:)

[tvlistingman]

PETER: The Super Bowl is coming up

ZOE: Oh, Who are you going to root for

PETER: The Patriots

ZOE: Me and Baby Bear and Little Bird are going to root for the Patriots!

PETER: Wow! You going to go for the soon 19-0 Patriots

BABY BEAR: Yes, The Pats are Unbeaten

LITTLE BIRD: So why don't we go swimming and then go shopping for the party

PETER: Good Plan

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: (writing) "It is a ceremony in which silly creatures in armored suits pay homage to an oblong ball made from the hide of a cow, but which is oddly often termed a 'pigskin,' and the spectators yell and scream and devour a ritual feast of fattening foods..."
Nora: And that, my friends, is the Super Bowl in a nutshell.
Scooter: Only not as civilized. So who are you rooting for, Giants or Patriots?
Nora: My brother and his buddies up at college in New Hampshire are all rooting for the Patriots, that's for certain.
Erin: Hmm...well, I come from a family of Giants fans. Where we come from, we call them the Jersey Giants. However, I kinda like the Patriots too.
Beige: I thought you weren't a football fan.
Erin: That's right...I'm just going to wish both teams a good game, and go off and do something else. That's what I've done for every Super Bowl.
Storyteller: Good call.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Gonzo! Come on!
Gonzo: What?
Ryan: Grab your cheerleading outfit from the college you went to Jason Alexander with and follow me!
Gonzo: I always wear it under my clothes. But why do I--
Ryan: *grabs Gonzo by the collar and runs off*

[Beakerfan]

*a loud thundering can be heard coming towards the dormitories*

*two shadowy figures can be seen in the distance, one with apparently two heads and very large in all directions, and the other tall, thin and wobbly*

*as the figures emerge from the darkness, the wobbly one speaks up*

Wobbly shadowy figure: Hey, would you mind grabbing that top suitcase? I think it's going to fall.

Large shadowy figure: Sure thing, little buddy! Hey, Alex, would you mind grabbing that for Bean?

Alex: *riding Sweetums piggy-back style* Sure thing Sweetums! *grabs the suitcase off the top of the stack Bean is carrying*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
MEEP!
(Clings to Alex as if his very life depended on it)

Bunsen:
Are you going somewhere, Alex?

Claudia:
NO! YOU CAN'T GO!
I WON'T LET YOU!
(Sobs wildly)
JACK! JACK! COME BACK! COME BACK!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Um...she was...watching Titanic last night...and um...

Claudia:
XP NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Bunsen:
Jack did indeed die, my dear.
Fear not, it was just a movie.

Claudia:
BASED ON ACTUAL EVENTS!
ALEX! NOOOOOOOO!

Dr. Van Neuter:
You're acting as if she was just gonna go up the Titanic or something.
(Rolls eyes)

Claudia:
NOOOO!
ALEX!

Beaker:
(Blows his nose on Claudia's sleeve)

Claudia:
I PROMISE to be good!
XP I WON'T TRY TO EAT ELMO WHEN HE'S SLEEPING!

Bunsen, Beaker, and Neuter:
(Staring at her)

Claudia:
And...Ipromisenottoeatyourcookies...ever again.

Bunsen:
So, you're the one who ate my animal crackers!
You could've asked!

Claudia:
....OMGLOOKWHATYOUMADEMEDOALEX!
XD

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *starting to fall off of Sweetums* Ummm...... guys? I'm not leaving..... I'm coming BACK. I know I haven't been gone for very long, and obviously some people didn't realize I was gone :shifty: . But thanks anyway! *snuggles Beaker*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Reddens)
Why am I prone to blonde moments?
Please tell me.

(Tries to save whatever dignity she has left)

Bunsen:
You're just not as observant, Claudia.

Claudia:
Look who's talking, no eyes!

Bunsen:
(Gasps)
Why, I never!

Claudia:
Yeah, you heard me, butterball.
(Tries to look threatening)

Bunsen:
Ho-hum, Oh dear, I've seemed to have accidently triggered this shape-shifting device!

Claudia:
(Sighs, is a rabbit once more)
What is it with you and bunnies?

Bunsen:
(Hums lightly to himself as he stuffs Claudia in a cage)

Beaker:
Meep mee mee mee.
(Looks to the cage)
Mee mee.

Meep!

Claudia:
What? You've just AGREED with him?

Beaker:
Meep.

Claudia:
You've hurt my feelings.
(Curls up in a ball)

Dr. Van Neuter:
That won't work, girlfriend!

Claudia:
(Snarls)
I knew it.
HMPH!

Beaker:
(Hugs Alex tightly)
Meep.

Bunsen:
We're glad you're back!
Now, would you like to help me with this...

Claudia:
(Points to Alex's room)
RUN, WOMAN! RUN!

[Beakerfan]

Bean: *looks deeply offended* Alex, you're not going to put ME in a cage, are you?

Alex: Of course not! I would never do that! *grabs the cage from Bunsen and lets Claudia out*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
She's a different case, Mr. Bean.
You see, everything she sees, she destroys.

Claudia:
LET FREEDOM RING!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Great job, she may just go streaking!

Claudia:
(Runs through the hall with her paws in the air)
WHEEE!

Bunsen:
Want to rephrase it, Phillip?

Dr. Van Neuter:
Yeah, sure.
What she meant was...



Let freedom fall.


Claudia:
(Runs with fire)

Bunsen:
No, didn't your mom teach you not to play with fire?
Do come back to your warm snuggly cage!

Claudia:
(Has a twisted look to her)
YEEEHAHAHAHA!

[Beakerfan]

John Cleese and Eric Idle come running in.......

John: Don't go near that rabbit!

Eric: Everybody! Stay back! Don't worry about a THING. We've dealt with this before!

John: Where's the holy hand grenade?

Alex: O_O *mouth drops open*

Bean: Um... Mr. Cleese, I don't think that's such a good idea......

John: Well of course not! You're a rabbit aren't you? You're probably in this together!

[The Count]

*Watching all of this...
UD: Jim save us... Now Erin will have her button pushed and join in this petty foolery.
You know... Clauds has a habbit of being a rabbit.
Count: Yes, indeed she does.
She's rather cute as a bunny... Crazed, but cute. So, do you think we should share that haunter with her?
Count: #30? No, keep it a surprise. She'll find out ewentually.
Yeah... Ghost you're fright.
*Secretly hums to self, smiling at that one castle critter saved up to share with sis later if she asks rully nicely.

[Beakerfan]

John: Dagnabbit! Where's that holy hand grenade?

Alex: Uhh.... we don't have one.

Bean: Um, we could ask Gonzo.....

John: You mean the Ugly Disgusting One? Why on EARTH would he have a holy hand grenade?

Bean: Well he's sort of into crazy things.....

Eric: The rabbit does have a point.

Sweetums: Well, why don't you guys have one?

Eric and John: Well..... *they stare at each other*

Eric: There was only one in the first place.....

John: We used it already! Isn't it obvious?

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: We'll not risk another frontal assault. That rabbit's dynamite.

(requiem music plays)

Scooter: The Book of Armaments, chapter three.
Beige: (reading) And he did hold the holy hand grenade on high, and bless it. And the people did rejoice, and they did feast on fruit bats, and pheasants, and breakfast cereals, and...
Scooter: Skip a bit, brother.
Beige: First, shalt thou pull out the holy pin, and then shalt thou count to three.
Nora: Three shall be the number, and the number shall be three.
Erin: Four thou shall not count, nor shalt thou count to two, unless in doing so shalt thou proceed to three.
Scooter: Five is right out.
Beige: Then hold the hand grenade above thy head and lob it at thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. (closes book) Amen.
All: Amen. (signs of cross)

(Storyteller enters)

Storyteller: (muttering) I warned them, but oh, no...oh, it's just a harmless little bunny.
Scooter: We're past that, Storyteller.
Storyteller: We are? Drat it all.

[The Count]

*Crazy Harry pops up...
CH: Did somebody say "dynamite"?
*Presses the plunger and runs away cackling as a loud "Boom!" is heard from downstairs.

[Beakerfan]

John: Did you hear that! Why, you must have an infestation! I regret, there is nothing I can do.

Eric: There is ONE thing!

John: There is?

Eric: Of course!

John: Well what is it?

Eric: How should I know? What do I look like an encyclopedia?

John: But you just said there was one thing we can do!

Eric: I did? Why would I say something like that?

John: Well, I don't know! You're the one who said it!

Eric: Said what?

John: There is one thing we can do!

Eric: Oh good, what is it?

John: How should I know? You're the one who brought it up!

Eric: Brought what up?

Alex: *rolls her eyes*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
New haunter? Me like. :D
Tell?

Bunsen:
Oh, someone's joining!

Claudia:
See? What'd I tell yah.
(Flashes a cocky smile)

[The Count]

Ha... Not until Bunsen changes you back. Oh, if you see Beth, please tell her I need a quick chat. Thanks.
*Goes back to crunching numbers.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
D: Fine, fine.
Bunnie, you heard the dark one.

Bunsen:
Almost forgot.
My fault!
(Chuckles)
(Does as ordered)

Claudia:
Thank gosh, I'm my tall self again.
But, I liked being a rabbit. :D

Bunsen:
We could always...

Claudia:
Changed my mind!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Hairball...ugh!

Beaker:
O_o Meep?

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *unpacking* La-la-laaaa..... somebody's comin to staaaay...........

Sweetums: *asleep in the over-stuffed chair*

Bean: *asleep in Sweetum's lap*

[Erine81981]

What in the world is all that noise? *peeks out of the room* What in the world?

All he sees is Mr. Cleese and Eric (who he doesn't know who he is) Alex, Bean and Sweetums too.

Hey Alex. Who's your friend here? *points to Eric* But i do know this guys. Glad to meet your Mr. Cleese. *holds hand out for a handshake*

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Oh, hey Kyle! This is Eric Idle, he's part of Monty Python. He plays "Sir Robin" (as well as many others) in the Holy Grail.

John: *shakes Kyle's hand* Good to meet you!

Eric: *does the same*

[Katzi428]

sigh...scrunching down in bed
Prairie:Aw Kath...maybe you should've stayed home.:concern:
Well this is home...sorta.But I know what you meant. I was feeling okay when I came back here the other day.Like I said,I have my good days and bad days.I'm sorry if I'm complaining.
Rosita:You're allowed to.Just rest easy in bed.If you need anything,Prairie and I are here for you.And Gaffer can snuggle with you if you want her to.
Yes I do.petting the orange ball of fur next to me on the bed
Prairie:Want some DVDs to watch?looking through my collection How about one of the DVDs from Muppet Show Season 2?
Well..maybe later. I'll just sleep right now with the sounds of the TV going.
Prairie:All right.And like Rosita said,if you need us,let us know.
Thanks girls.

[Beauregard]

Meanwhile...in a room now filled with trees and forestry...

Bo: *dressed as Robin Hood* I beseach ye, come down from there, fair maiden!
Mildred: *up a tree* If ye wantest me down, why dids't ye just put me up here!
Beau: *as Little John* How long have we been down here?
George: *as Sherrif* Avast ye...wait, is it avast?
Bo: I don't know, I've never vasted.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *pushing through trees and bushes* Bo? BO? Are you in here?
Clifford: Where'd we get these longjohns and tights?
Ryan: *shrug* I assume there from Bo's private collection.

[Beauregard]

Bo: Ryan? I mean Prawnie? I mean...Will Scarlet? Is that you? And do you know how fetching you look in green tights and long johns?
Mildred: Would you just get a ladder?
Bo: Can I finish seranading you first?
Mildred: Fine!
Bo: Comest thou down!
Mildred: Am I Maid Marrian, or a cat caught on a lamppost?

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Where am I supposed to get a ladder? Friar Cliff, you have any ideas?
Clifford: What am I s'pposed to be fryin'?
Ryan: I don't know. These tights for one thing...

[Beauregard]

Bo: Er...Prawnie, you realise those were meant to be more like winter tights, and less like pantyhose, right? Yours practically look like the Gonzo poser's nose. *little dig there...*

[theprawncracker]

Clifford: I can dig it! Heh heh.
Ryan: *headslap* Beau, why do you even HAVE these stupid tights?
Clifford: Do we REALLY wanna know the answer to that?

[Beauregard]

Beau: You don't...I'll take them. *rip*
Bo: Prawnie! Put some clothes on!
Mildred: *covers eyes*

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *dives frantically behind a bush* GAH! BEAU!
Clifford: ...Thank goodness I wear sunglasses.
Ryan: CLIFFORD GET ME SOME CLOTHES!

[Beauregard]

George: *as the Sheriff* I command...er...est ye to unhand...to hand over...to...Where are my lines again?
Bo: All over your face, you old Sherriff!
Mildred: Hey! That Janitor is my...thing, lay off him!
Bo: I was only joking, fair maiden!
Beau: Yeah, don't be unfair...um...maiden!

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: CLOTHES! ME! NEED!
Clifford: Hey Ryguy, I found some more tights, you want these?
Ryan: Clifford, they're pink!
Clifford: They're all I could find, dude!
Ryan: Well look harder!
Clifford: You owe me...

[Beauregard]

George: *as Sheriff* And you owe me! You people have stollen all my taxes...
Bo: Sounds taxing...
George: It is...

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: YOU PEOPLE HAVE STOLEN ALL MY CLOTHES!
Clifford: Hey Ry, found a dolphin suit, want it?
Ryan: Where did you find a dolphin suit?
Clifford: Not a clue man.
Ryan: ...Well put it back there and find me something normal!
Clifford: Think about where we are!
Ryan: ...TRY!

[The Count]

*Singing... Oodelalli oodelalli, golly what a day.
Little Bo and Prawny Scarlet having fun...
Jumping bridges, dodging arrows.
Escaping from the sheriff.
Oodelalli oodelalli...
Golly what a day.

[Beauregard]

Bo: Mairan...I am trying to recreat a romantic little scene here for a movie I'm writing...and you and your..thing...keep messing it up?
Mildred: I think this whole situation is about as messed up as it gets...
Beau: Not if we pour glue on it...that would be messy...

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: STILL WITHOUT CLOHTES!
Clifford: Well I've been bringin' you outfits!
Ryan: ...Bring Sam here! He'll know what to do!
Clifford: Sam? You serious dude?
Ryan: ...For once, I think I am.

[Beauregard]

George: *hands Ryan a mop* This might help, temporally.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: A... a mop?
Sam: Clifford, I must ask why you've brought me- SWEET MOTHER OF MARY TODD LINCOLN! Ryan where is your dignity?
Ryan: Beau stole it with my tights.
Sam: Your... tights?
Clifford: Oh boy...
Sam: This is... absolutely disgraceful. I cannot be a part of this. *leaves*
Ryan: ...Get Link.
Clifford: Link? Why?
Ryan: He's stylish. For a pig.
Clifford: Whatever you say dude...

[Beauregard]

Mildred: If I'm going to be up here all day, at least hand me my knitting and my Encyclopedia...
Bo: I think your Encyclopedia was recycled to make our forest fortress, and the knitting was the tights...anything else you want instead?

[The Count]

*Bats that were nesting in the tree hand Mildred an assortment of items to hurl at Bobin Hood.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
What the devil?

Bunsen:
(Covering her eyes)
Don't look, dear!
It's just a figment of your imagination.
You're only seeing things.

Claudia:
So...Ryan's nudity is...part of my imagination?

Bunsen:
Er...yes.
Shame on you for thinking such wicked things!
(Clears throat)

Claudia:
;_; But if it's part of my imagination...
How can YOU see it?

Bunsen:
Er...because I cleverly made a device to um...read people's minds...
Yes.

Beaker:
(Slaps forehead)

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *still without clothes*
Link: Oh... hello Ryan. *clears throat* Cold?
Ryan: *glares* Did you bring me clothes?
Link: Mm-hm. *gives Ryan a suit on a hanger*
Ryan: Link... it's way too small.
Link: Yes, but it looks fantastic.
Ryan: Good point.
Clifford: *shakes head*

[Beauregard]

Bo: Maybe we should skip to the part were Robin Hood battle pirates...I need to research that too. Beau, start chopping down these trees and turn on all the faucets.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Don't worry, Prawnie.
I went to Victoria's Secret and got you this cute little thong! XD
(Squeals girlishly)
(With closed eyes, she shows Ryan's special pair)

Bunsen:
Oh, how stylish.

Claudia:
Thanks.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Claudia, are you mad?

Claudia:
Yes.
(Takes back the thong)
Ahem.

[The Count]

*Hey... Look on the bright side. With no pants, you can't get pantsed.
*Throws Prawn a pair of woolen mufferfluffers to wear over his bare bottom.
Now if anybody asks, you're visiting from Sweden... The land of Britain's ancestors.
*Hears bork-bork-borking from upstairs.
Quick! Get out of here before the Chef mistakes you for a yummy pie filler!

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *stares at thong* *wearing Link's clothes* *they're way too small by the way*
Clifford: I think I'm gonna be sick... *runs off*
Link: Oh, I love the color.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *as dorm room fills with water* Someone hand him a shirt...and an oar...And no one open the door to the halls, because we don't wanna damp the carpets...
George: *as pirate* Yo ho...ho...

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Oh no... not The Little Mermaid! *turns into a merman* ...At least my bottom half is covered!
Clifford: Why am I the crab?
Ryan: *shrug* I think it fits well.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Blinks)
What? All the other stores were closed!

Bunsen:
Beaker, you should try them on.
(Tease)

Beaker:
(Eyes narrow)
MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP!

Claudia:
I hope THAT never goes into my imagination.

(Sees that Ryan's turned into a merman)

(Collapses)

[Beauregard]

Bo: *still dressed as Robin Hood* You realise by turning into a merman in the middle of a Robin Hood scene based on the history and past of traditions and rites and rights of my home contry, you just ruined my entire life's work trying to prove Robin Hood was real?

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *singing* Someday I'll beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee part of your... woooooooooooooooooorld!
Clifford: *pinches Ryan with Clifford crab claws*

[The Count]

*As Underwater Leader... Prawn! Man yourself a sea horse and let's ride after that Borbarian! We'll teach him to bring his MopFammery into our world!
*Grabs trident and starts blasting.

BTW: Has anybody seen that cute mermaid named Claudia? I rully dig her grooviness in like a cosmic way. We could be...
*Blasts trident at ship's ruddy rudders.

[The Count]

*Spots Claudia... Hey... Is she supposed to have the fishy part on the bottom? Cause I think something went wrong. She's got the fishy part up top and her legs are sticking out.
*Shakes wavy hair... Oh well. Come on Claudia, let's go for a spin in my sea cruiser.
*Opens up hatch for her to fit inside the manta ray shaped vehicle.

[Beauregard]

Bo: *as Robin Hood on a log, in a room full of water* Ed, watch out with that trident I have pictures on the wall! *pause* Well, now I don't...
Beau: I'll try and find a plug...

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Nope, didn't see that one!
(Theme of Captain Sparrow plays)
Savvy?

(Dressed as a pirate)
Shiver me timbers, lads!
I be sendin' yer arses to Davy Jones's locker!

Bunsen:
(As a buccaneer)
Captain, we spot aquamarine specimens swimming about in the water.
Shall we capture them? I intend to do some thorough research, if you please!

Beaker:
(Cabin boy)
Meep!

Claudia:
Mmm, that be a better idea.
Throw that anchor, men!
The White Sultan needs tah bask in his beauty!

[The Count]

Wha? She's... a... pirate? Nooooo! Ye'll not be catching me you muckety-mucks! *Blasts trident at the fishing nets cast by Bunsen. Prawn, Urchin! Whatever yer name is... Charge their bucky boated bellies boy! Now!

[Beauregard]

Robin Hood: *sits down and waits for the arrivel of King Arthor* I always wondered if Robin existed in his time, or the more popular notion of King Richard...

[The Count]

*Uncle D in a kingly voice: Good hevans... You'd have me have an outlaw for an in-law?
*Laughs and slaps Bo's back.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
King Richard did indeed exist.
However, Robin is a myth-

(Sees her net destroyed by his powerful trident)
Oh, you be payin' the dire consequences.
This lass ain't be takin' no for an answer!

Bunsen:
Claudia, don't play with the trident weilder!
Don't be foolish, probably could sink The White Sultan!

Claudia:
Never stopped me before!
Bring on, you cotfish!

Bunsen:
Cla-

Claudia:
Bunsen!

Bunsen:
(Whips out a cookie)

Claudia:
Well, I never was a real pirate.
(Nibbles at the cookie)
Where's the nude one?

Bunsen:
The merman must have dissapeared!

Claudia:
Ah-ha!
So this WASN'T my imagination, hmm?
I thought I was a pervert!

Bunsen:
(Fiddles with the net)
Hmm?

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: ...*swims away*

[The Count]

*Misfires and triggers the thingamajigger that Ariel had hidden away that changes Claudia back into a rabbit.
Oops?

Count from his safe spot: Drizzle drazzle druzzle drome...
Time for these ones to come back home!
*Magic explosion takes place and everything is set back to frights.

Ed: Hmmm, wonder where that new border, the slug got to...

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
What? WAIT!
NOOOOO!
(Shrinks into a bunny rabbit)
(Sighs)
Is this a running gag?

Bunsen:
(Stuffs her in a cage)
Come on, you naughty little bunny.
Time to compensate for the time we lost...
Hmm hmm hmm...

Beaker:
(Wiggles finger into the cage)
Mee mee meep.
(Taunts)

Claudia:
(Curls into a ball admitting defeat)

[The Count]

Aw... But she makes the cutest wittle wabbit.
*Pats her fluffy white head. Hmmm, did I remember to tell sis about that cwazy haunter of mine? Oh well... She'll come ask if she wants to know.
*Leaves cookie for the beautiful bunny.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *walks into the dorms* Oh. My. Gosh. *grabs the nearest person - which happens to be Gonzo - and shakes him* I MISSED IT? ACK! I missed the coolest adventure EVER! Well.... besides Ryan's deep misfortune.....

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Yup, but it's ok.
Here, you can have the thong. O_o

Dr. Van Neuter:
(Snatches it, throws it in garbage)

Claudia:
D: At least...you could have.

Bunsen:
(Carrying Claudia)

Claudia:
This is humiliating.

[The Count]

You know, it's funny... Here I thought this slug guy would've moved in by now. Eh, guss his salty trail will be left should he decide to finally get here.

[Winslow Leach]

Tony wanders through the hallways, hearing various Muppety sounds coming from the mostly-closed doors. He wears a rumpled brown tweed suit, white shirt, and a tie, which is hanging loosely around his neck. In one hand, he carries a battered typewriter. In the other, the key to room #9, and a suitcase.

He reaches the door, and stands for a moment. He breathes deeply, and inserts the key into the lock, opening the door. He flicks on the lights. The room is totally empty. No furniture or anything. Even the window is lacking curtains. Whomever cleaned out the room did an excellent job.

Tony puts down his typewriter and suitcase, puts his hands in his pockets, and walks around the room. He notices a rope ladder hanging in the corner of the room, above which is a trap door, which leads directly into room #24. But he doesn't know that yet. Next, he inspects the bathroom. Clean.

Tony has left the door to the room open. As he turns, he notices the Newsman, suitcase in hand, as well as a typewriter (!) walking through the door. He wears a tweed coat and tie, as well as a pair of thick, horn-rimmed glasses. He speaks in a somewhat pompous, newscaster-like voice, even off the air.

Newsman: Hello.

Tony: Hi.

Newsman: Are you rooming here?

Tony: Yes.

Newsman: Here is a Muppet Newsflash: Muppet Newsman gets new roommate. Film at eleven.

Tony: Er...film?

Newsman: Don't worry, it's just an expression.

Tony: Oh. Okay. (holds out hand) Hi, I'm Tony.

Newsman (shaking Tony's hand) I'm the Newsman. You can call me the Newsman.

Tony: Okay. Er. Newsman.

Newsman: I work down at the Muppet Theatre. I'm the resident anchorman. I still write all of my stories on this (holds up typewriter). I'm not into these newfangled computer systems.

Tony (shows Newsman his typewriter) Looks like we're two of a kind!

Newsman: Are you an anchor, too?

Tony: No. Playwright.

Newsman: Fascinating.

Tony: It's a living.

Newsman: So what brings you here, Tommy?

Tony: Tony.

Newsman: Tony.

Tony: Well, I was looking for a quiet place to work. And I heard that these particular dorms are the quietest on the campus.

Newsman: Is that so?

Tony: That's what I hear.

Newsman: Well, that's wonderful. I need total concentration when I write my stories.

Tony: As do I...Newsman. I think we'll get along great!

Newsman: I think so, too.

Tony: So, whaddaya say? Road trip to Ikea tomorrow, get some furniture?

Newsman: Sure. I don't have to be on the air until six p.m.

Tony: Great. You know something, Newsman? I think it's gonna be a real blast living here!

As if on cue, Crazy Harry appears in the doorway, eyes bulging, and a wide grin plastered across his face. He holds a small explosive with a plunger on top.

Crazy Harry: Did somebody say blast ? !

BOOM!

Crazy Harry has pressed the plunger down; the explosion rocks the room. Through a thick cloud of smoke, Harry laughs maniacally.

Crazy Harry: Is this room #9?

[The Count]

What the heck? Hey, Tony... Looks like ya found the place. You shoulda rung at the lobby desk upstairs, but that's partially my fault for not telling you. Anyway... Room #9's down here in the basement floor. You've got Bo and his loonies in the room next to yours, and Peter and his gang in the one directly across from your room. The bathrooms are the last door down on your left in this hall. That large room there is the common room, and mines the first one on your left if you turn to your left when stepping out of the elevator. We happen to have an elevator tucked into the Old World furnaces in the common rooms, that's how we get from one floor to the other.

Sure great to have you here... Welcome aboard.
And oh yeah... Looks like you'll need this.
*Hands him a piece of paper with Biff and Sully's number on it.

[Erine81981]

*walks out into the hallway* What in the world was that?

Oscar: *pops out of his trashcan* Noise! Thats what it was. Heh heh heh heh heh heh.......I love it! *trashlid slams down with a bang*

Herry: *runs in from outside* Did i hear a boom?

Yep.

Herry: Where did it come from?

I think downstairs.

Herry: Come on then. *runs down the stairs*

*knocks on room 1* Hey Ed. Did you hear that boom?

[The Count]

*Opens the door creakily... Yeah, it was just Crazy Harry. He's moved in with Tony of Sluggenshire Chap.
Um, if you'll hexcuse me, I'm working on a little something in here and I sorta need to give it my full attention. Night. And I trust you to do the sponsors tonight.
*Closes door just as creakily.

[Erine81981]

Ohhhh good. *grabs chest from running down the stairs* Thanks. I was just worried it might have been Bunsan with another invention of his. Thanks again.

Herry: *whew* That was a close one.

Yep. *as i walk back up the stairs we start the sponsors* With another day on it's way and the dawn coming soon. Muppet Dorms has been brought to you today by the letter "T" and "B."

Herry: And by the number "9."

As we head to our room some music starts to play. As we are settling down in our rooms we finish the rest of our sponsors.

Me and Herry: Muppet Dorms is a production of the "Muppet Central Forms."

Good night.

Herry: *rises his eyebrows up and down*

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums and Bean are asleep in their beds. Several candles are burning. Alex is sitting in the dimly lit room, writing. In the background, Alex's CD player is playing a mix of songs including "I never cry" by Alice Cooper, "Moonlight Sonata", "Don't Close Your Eyes" by Kix, and a lot of opera.

[BeakerSqueedom]

[Spoilers in red]

Claudia:
I thought World's End was a pretty ok movie.
It was hard to follow the plot, though.

Bunsen:
Yes, but it was happily semi-tragic.

Claudia:
How so?

Dr. Van Neuter:
That butt-ugly octopus freak only wanted to be with the one he loved.
It wasn't fair that they had to kill him off in the movie!
(Remembers his wife)
D: It's like me and Composta's story or something...
just less weird.

Claudia:
I actually thought Davy Jones was handsome.
O_O

Bunsen:
I say, you have a most disturbing taste for the oddest of things.

Claudia:
Well, he was just a big softy at heart...
er...even if his heart was not attached to his body.
He even pledged himself that he'd return to his love.
Who knew it was HER?

Bunsen:
I know what you mean.
Ah well, back to work!
We must not fall victim to inactivity.
Had plenty of that last night!
(Giddly prances to his lab)

Beaker:
(Shocked that Tony is here)
MEEEP?

Claudia:
I mean't to tell yah...
INNOWAYDIDIINVITEHMTOTHEDORMS! :D

Beaker:
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPP?

Claudia:
I love you? :3

Beaker:
(Uncharacteristically tackles Claudia)

Claudia:
HELP! I'M BEING ATTACKED BY MEEPING MUPPET!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Dr. Van Neuter:
I'm betting Claudia as the winner for...
100 dollars.

Bunsen:
Hmm, not a wise choice.
But sure!

[The Count]

Uncle D: I've got 40 on the carrot-top!
Ed and Count: Which one's the carrot-top?
*All chuckle.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *still writing*

Sweetums: Whoa, Alex, you look terrible! Were you up all night?

Alex: Yeah.... I couldn't sleep. It's been a rough weekend....

Sweetums: Aw, I'm sorry! *sits down in his overstuffed chair*

Alex: *holding back her tears* Sweetums, I don't understand why all this is happening.

Sweetums: *hugs her*

Alex: *begins to cry and holds on to him tighter*

[redBoobergurl]

*Abby poofs into Alex's room*
Abby: Hi Alex, I heard you were sad. Here, have a flower. I don't know how I got it cause I can usually only make pumpkins appear, but I got it and I thought you might want it.

*Back in room 3*
Beth: I'm not here, I'm not here, pay no attention to the girl behind the curtain
Red: Aren't you going to be late for your show?
Beth: I have time. It's the last performance today thank goodness
Wanda: And then you'll be around more?
Beth: One can only hope
Mokey: Break a leg today!
Beth: Thanks. *Runs out as quickly as she blew in*

[Erine81981]

Hey guys. Glad your staying with us?

Big Bird: Sure are Kyle. *walks in with is suitcase and radar in hand*

Snuffy: Glad you had Biff and Sully make you a place for me.

Well i aways say it's not fun when the ones who are staying for a while has to stay in their other room. So i figured why not have a big cave like entrance for friends like you.

Snuffy: Ohhhhh Kyle.

Cookie M: *walks in with his suitcase* Oooo just like me remembered.

It hasn't ever changed since you've been gone Cookie Monster. As always Big Bird i have your nest in the basement of the dorms. I'll have Herry get it when he comes home from work.

Big Bird: What are we having for dinner?

Chicken In Rice.

Big Bird: What? You cooked one of my ken?

No no no Big. I would never do that. It's a chicken i bought from the store. But sorry 'bout that.

Big Bird: Ohhh well. Guess it's ok.

*hugs Big Bird* I'm really sorry. I hope it wasn't one of your ken.

Big Bird: I don't think it would be. If an 8 foot yellow bird can talk without being cooked or hunted then i don't think any birds who can talk would be.

Glad you think that way Big. Oh by the way. I found this old scrap book of you when you were just an egg.

Big Bird: Where did you find it?

I just came across it. Wanna look?

Big Bird: Sure.

Snuffy: *sits down with a bound*

Cookie M: Any cookies around?

In the kitchen Cookie.

Cookie M: Oh boy!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Baby, you're smokin'!

Beaker:
Meep?
(Blushes)

Claudia:
No! Beaker, you really ARE!

Beaker:
MEEP?
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Runs around the room)

Bunsen:
Beakie, I've the coffee! :D
Stay put!

Beaker:
(Screams, rolls around the floor)

Claudia:
(SIGH)
I'm surrounded by weirdos.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Alex: *still writing*

Sweetums: Whoa, Alex, you look terrible! Were you up all night?

Alex: Yeah.... I couldn't sleep. It's been a rough weekend....

Sweetums: Aw, I'm sorry! *sits down in his overstuffed chair*

Alex: *holding back her tears* Sweetums, I don't understand why all this is happening.

Sweetums: *hugs her*

Alex: *begins to cry and holds on to him tighter*


Claudia:
(Enters her room)
Hey baby, how are you doing?
(Hugs Alex)
I got you some cookies. :D
I also got you some milk.
That always makes me feel better. :'(

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *still crying* *hugs Claudia* Thanks Squeege. And thank you, Abby!

Sweetums: CLAUDIA! *runs up and hugs her* Great to see ya!

Bean: *sneaks out of the room*

Alex: *eats a cookie*

[Winslow Leach]

Tony is sitting on the floor, his back against the wall, asleep. The Newsman is sitting on the window sill, his typewriter balanced on his knees, writing a story. Crazy Harry sits in the corner, holding two sticks of dynamite, giggling uncontrollably.

Tony stirs and wakes up. He looks around the empty room.

Newsman (still typing, without looking up) Good morning, Sunshine. Or should I say good evening?

Tony: Wha...?

Newsman: You've been sleeping for almost 24 hours.

Tony: Huh?

The door bangs open, then slams shut. Lefty the salesman leans against it, panting. He wears a trenchcoat and fedora. He has sinister-looking eyebrows.

Newsman: Lefty. What brings you here?

Lefty: SHHHHHHHHH! I'm on da run. I sold some kid an invisible dog, and he chased after me. (notices Tony) Hey, who's da kid?

Newsman: That's Tommy, my new roommate.

Tony: Tony.

Lefty: Ya check 'im out? Kin we trust 'im?

Newsman: What do you care? You don't even live here.

Lefty: Yeah, but...kin he keep his mouth shut?

Newsman: He seems like a nice fellow. He's been sleeping since he moved in last night.

Lefty walks next to Crazy Harry, who is still giggling and playing with his dynamite.

Lefty (to Tony) Lemme give ya some woids of advice, kid. Stay outta my business! 'Cause if ya do too much pryin', I'm gonna sic my pal Harry here on ya. Unnerstand?

Tony rises and crosses toward Lefty.

Tony: Number one. Don't you threaten me. You're about as intimidating as a hamster doing the hula. Number two. I don't care about your business, so don't worry about me "prying." And number three...I'm gonna wash up and get something to eat.

Tony crosses to the room that he thought was the bathroom the previous night. When he flicks on the light switch, he notices it's actually a closet.

Tony: Who turned the bathroom into a closet?

Newsman: The bathroom's down the hall.

Tony: Oh. Yeah. I...er, I knew that...

Lefty: So, uh, Tommy--

Tony: Tony.

Lefty: ...Tony...what do ya do?

Tony: I'm a writer. Playwright, actually.

Lefty: Oh yeah? Hey, git a load of Mr. Fancy-Pants Writer over here! Whadda ya got?

Tony: Actually, I don't have anything yet. I was hoping to start something today, but--

Lefty: Hey, don't worry 'bout nothin', I got just da thing fer ya! (Lefty pulls a script out of his trenchcoat and hands it to Tony) Guaranteed crowd-pleaser. I hoid da writer's dead, so's all ya gotta do is just cross out his name, and put yours! An' I'll let ya have it fer a nickel.

Tony (looking at script) Hamlet?

Lefty: SHHHHHHHH! Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! A blockbuster!

Tony: Um, no thanks, I think I'll stick to something of my own.

Lefty: Whaddaya, a critic? Ya tink ya kin write somethin' better dan dat? C'mon, buy da script. I tink I kin persuade Arnold Schwarzenegger ta play da lead.

Tony: I'm all set, really.

Lefty: Kid's crazy. Crazy I tell ya!

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: Hey, Alex, I know something that might make you feel a little better......

Alex: *sniffles* What's that?

Sweetums: A certain someone has finally moved in..........

Alex: Are... are you serious? You mean...... *runs out the door*

Bean: *walks in eating baby carrots* Where's she goin?

Sweetums: I think to room #9.......

Bean: Carrot? *holds out a carrot*

Sweetums: Carrot.... *eats the carrot*

[Winslow Leach]

Tony (looks at watch) I think it's too late to go furniture shopping.

Newsman: Really? I've lost all track of time. This story I'm writing is quite fascinating.

Tony: What is it?

Newsman: Apparently a local farmer's cows are producing ping-pong balls instead of milk.

Tony: Hey, I've been meaning to ask you...(gestures with head to Crazy Harry, still giggling in the corner) He playing with a full deck?

Newsman: Crazy Harry? He's harmless. Worked with him for years. He's our pyrotechnics expert at the Muppet Theatre.

Tony: Yeah, but...it seems he enjoys his work a little too much...

Newsman: It's best not to dwell on it...

Lefty: Hey, did I hear ya guys need some furniture?

Tony: No. We like sitting in an empty room.

Lefty: 'Cause I kin get ya some.

Tony: Really? Are you in the furniture business?

Lefty: No...not exactly...but I have contacts. I kin fill dis room up in no time.

Tony: How much?

Lefty: I'll make a deal with ya. If I kin crash here fer a while, I'll give ya da furniture for next ta nothin'.

Newsman: What happened to that dive you call a home, Lefty?

Lefty: I don't have it no more.

Newsman: Were you late with the rent?

Lefty: Nah. I had Crazy Harry over for lunch dis afternoon. I tink dat explains everything. So whaddaya say? I'll get ya furniture, if ya let me stay here fer a while.

Tony: Doesn't bother me.

Newsman: I could care less.

Lefty looks down at Crazy Harry, who frantically shakes his head, while laughing maniacally.

Lefty: Den it's settled. I'll be back in a few...

Lefty slowly opens the door and looks right, then left.

Lefty: I tink dat punk is gone...

Lefty whisks out the door.

Tony (sighs) And then there were four...

[Beakerfan]

Bean: *watching tv with Sweetums*

Sweetums: That Patrick always cracks me up!

Bean: Yeah, but I like Spongebob better.... he's almost as cute as me!

Sweetums: Yeah.....

Bean: Jerky? *holds out a bag of jerky*

Sweetums: Jerky. *takes some jerky*

Alex: *riding down the elevator, which plays "Mahna Mahna"* Mahna mahna........ mahna mahna.......... mahna mahna.............................. mahna mahnamahnananaa *goes crazy* *the elevator opens and she regains her composure*

[Winslow Leach]

Tony: I hear "Mahna Mahna" playing in the elevator...I think it just stopped on this floor, actually. Should I be scared?

The Newsman and Harry don't hear--or ignore--Tony. They continue with their work, the Newsman typing, Harry banging his sticks of dynamite together.

Tony paces around the room, his hands in his pockets.

[The Count]

Nah... The elevator has a direct feed to Muppet Central Radio piped in. It's mostly instrumental versions of all the songs though.
*Goes back to room to read the great new fanfic noone's heard of, Gold Demona by the authorof the same name.

Man, muppetwriter should read this stuff, he'd love it!

[Beakerfan]

Bean: So...... you thinkin what I'm thinkin?

Sweetums: Totally! *runs over and turns on the stero, which begins to play "Tequila"

*Bean and Sweetums begin to dance*

Meanwhile, a light knock is heard on the door of room #9......

[Winslow Leach]

Tony hears a knock on the door. Company already? He looks at his two roomies, who are still off in their own little worlds.

Tony opens the door.

The beautiful Alex stands there.

Tony: Alex ? ! Wow! Wonderful to see you!

Tony embraces Alex, and kisses her on the cheek.

Tony: Come on in. Um, we don't have any furniture yet, but you're more than welcome to hang!

Tony takes Alex's hand, and leads her into the room.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: No furniture? That...... ROCKS! Get some rugs and bean bag chairs and you're good to go! Seriously, the floor is my favorite place to sit. So.... I don't think I've met your roomies yet?

Sweetums and Bean: TEQUILA! *they continue to dance*

[Winslow Leach]

Tony: Oh...yeah...that fellow sitting on the windowsill there is the Muppet Newsman. You probably see him on TV. Last week he was attacked by a runaway buzzsaw on the air.

Newsman: No, that is not true! It was two runaway buzzsaws, thank you very much!

Tony: And this guy over here is, er, Crazy Harry. I dunno about him, but the Newsman says he's okay. I dunno. From the looks of him, he seems to have a short fuse...

Crazy Harry: Did somebody say short fuse?

Tony: NO!

(Tony grabs the dynamite from Harry; luckily it's still unlit)

Tony: Play nice. And then there's Lefty. You actually just missed him. I'm not sure what he does, but he promised to bring back some furniture tonight, so we're waiting on that. Um...the ceiling seems as if it's about to come crashing down on us. Are we okay down here? Who are your roomies anyway?

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Nice to meet all of y'all..... I'm rooming with Sweetums and Bean Bunny. What the hey are they doing up there? They told me they were going to watch TV.... *realizes they're playing Tequila* Ohmygosh! Come ON! *grabs Tony and they both run up to her room*

Sweetums: *sees Alex and Tony run in and stops* Uhhhh...... hi? *sheepish grin*

Alex: Sweetums, don't be rude! *turns the music up and begins to mash-potatoe* And while you're at it, go get everyone else! Man, this is gonna be a PARRRRR-TAY!

Sweetums: Uh, ok..... *leaves to go invite everyone else to come party*

[Winslow Leach]

Tony immediately starts doing the twist, while introducing himself.

Tony: Um, hi...I'm Tommy...I mean...Tony...nice to meet you, Sweetums. And Bean, I...Bean, where are you, little dude? Oh! There you are! Hi there, nice to meet you!

[Beakerfan]

Bean: *doing "the running-man"* Hi Tony! It's nice to meet you, sir. Will your room-mates be coming?

[Winslow Leach]

Tony is now doing the Robot.

Well Bean...Alex whisked me out of my room before I even knew what was going on, heh heh! I didn't even have a chance to ask them, but they're so wrapped up in their work, I doubt they've noticed I'm gone! But I'll go down and ask 'em, if you want me to, little buddy. Just be careful of Crazy Harry. He likes to blow stuff up.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Hey, the more the merrier, right Bean?

Bean: Right Alex! *begins to breakdance*

[Winslow Leach]

Tony: Alright, I shall return!

(Tony leaves Alex's room; he's lost)

Um...oh yeah, the elevator's this way!

(Beat; Tony returns, in opposite direction)

Like I said, it's this way!

[Winslow Leach]

Tony enters his room.

Tony: Hey, did that little green freak get back yet?

Newsman: No.

Tony: Ah, who cares. You guys wanna go to a par-tay?

Newsman: What, now?

Tony: Yes, now. The room right above us. Don't you hear that music?

Newsman: How could I not?

Tony: Come on, don't be a stick in the mud! Live a little!

Newsman: Well...as long as I can do the Madison. Came in first place last year.

Tony: Uh, yeah, sure, whatever. Harry, you wanna come up, too?

Crazy Harry: Nah.

Tony: Aw, come on! It's gonna be a real bomb!

Crazy Harry: Did somebody say bomb ? !

Tony: Yes. I just did. But since you don't actually have a bomb on you, you can't demonstrate your abilities! Nyeah, nyeah, nyeah!

Crazy Harry pulls a cherry bomb out of his pocket, lights it, and tosses it across the room.

BOOM!

Tony: I stand corrected.

Crazy Harry leaps to his feet.

Newsman: Lead the way, sir!

Tony, the Newsman and Crazy Harry exit the room, heading for the elevator.

[Katzi428]

Prairie:Hey...the new dormie showed up!I heard his name's Tony.
Rosita:Bueno! It'll be nice to have someone new in the dorms.Who's he rooming with?
Crazy Harry and The Newsman,I think.Let's not say anything where things will fall on us or cause us to be blown up.
the girls nod in agreement as we go to room 9 to welcome Tony

[Winslow Leach]

Tony, the Newsman and Crazy Harry approach their door, where they are met by Kathy, Prairie and Rosita.

Tony: Hey guys! My name is Tony. This is the Muppet Newsman, and Crazy Harry.

Newsman: Pleased to meet you girls.

Crazy Harry (giggling) Likewise, I'm sure!

[Winslow Leach]

Tony opens the door to his room.

It is completely furnished.

There are two twin beds, one with SpongeBob sheets and pillowcase, a cot, and a hammock, which is hanging in the closet. There is a 32-inch, flat-screen TV, with DVD player. A large stereo is nearby. Three large beanbag chairs are tossed around the room. An empty bookcase/DVD/CD combination storage unit stands against a wall. Two small desks are also here.

Lefty sits proudly on the non-SpongeBob bed.

Lefty: Whaddaya tink?

Tony (speechless) L-lefty...?

Lefty: Yeah.

Tony: You...you bought us all this...?

Lefty: It fell off a truck.

Tony: Yeah, but--

Lefty: It fell off a truck! Dat's all ya need ta know!

Tony: Oh. Well. I call the SpongeBob bed!

Newsman: I'll take the one Lefty's sitting on.

Lefty: Good. Dat was da plan. I hoid da kid likes da Sponge. Me too. He makes me laugh. And I figgured da Newsman would wanna be more conservative, so I got 'im da no frills bed.

Tony: What's with the cot?

Crazy Harry leaps onto the cot, and giggles like mad.

Lefty: As ya kin see, dat's fer Crazy Harry. He's spent so much time on hospital cots, on account of several "accidents," he don't feel comfortable unless he sleeps on one. And da hammock hangin' in da closet is mine, so don't be gettin' any ideas. I like da hammock, 'cause the swingin' back and forth reminds me of when my mudder usta rock me to sleep.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Tony's the talk of the dorms, eh, Beaker?

Beaker:
[Readies his water gun]
[Nods, sweetly pats her head]

Claudia:
Um...wh-what are you doing with that gun?

Beaker:
[Eerie look to him, sweeps out of the room in secrecy]

Claudia:
Poor, Tony.
Someone's gonna get hurt.

Bunsen:
Beaker is to display his love for the fair Alex by "murdering" Tony in the process. Isn't that romantic?

Claudia:
Um, no.
[Runs out of the room in slow-motion]
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!
[Still going about slowly to a point of it being annoying]

Beaker:
[Walks by her in a flash]

Claudia:
That's the only reason slow-mo bites. -_-

[BeakerSqueedom]

Lefty: As ya kin see, dat's fer Crazy Harry. He's spent so much time on hospital cots, on account of several "accidents," he don't feel comfortable unless he sleeps on one. And da hammock hangin' in da closet is mine, so don't be gettin' any ideas. I like da hammock, 'cause the swingin' back and forth reminds me of when my mudder usta rock me to sleep.

Claudia:
HAAAAAAHAHAHAH!

Bunsen:
That's nothing to laugh about, Claudia.
Shame on you, honestly.

It's just like this flask.
[Snugs it]

Claudia:
What about it?

Bunsen:
Mother would explode people because of her charming desire to inflict pain on those she took a liking to. <3

Claudia:
OOOOKKK...

[Winslow Leach]

Lefty: Hey kid, kid...now dat ya got yer desk, you gonna write dat play for me?

Tony: Yes, I'm...play for you?

Lefty: SHHHHHHHHH! Riiiiiiiiiiight!

Tony: You didn't say anything about me writing a play for you.

Lefty: Well, I'm sayin' it now! Dat's da least ya kin do, after I got ya all dis stuff!

Tony: Well...

Lefty: And...I kin act as your bodyguard.

Tony: Bodyguard? What do I need a bodyguard for?

Lefty: SHHHHHHHHH! Don't tell no one...but I hear one of da scientist guys plans to eliminate ya. The kid wit da pointy head, who only talks in meeps...

Tony: He plans to eliminate me?

Lefty: SHHHHHHHHHH! Riiiiight.

Tony: But I don't even know him!

Lefty: Dat's da woid on da street.

Tony: Wow.

Lefty: So if ya write me into one of yer plays, I kin protect ya from da carrot-top. Get me?

Tony: I'll think about--

Lefty: Check dis out! I kin sing and dance! Maestro!

The music to "Would You Like To Buy an O" suddenly starts playing.

Lefty sings, and dances/sways to the music.

Lefty (singing)

How would ya like ta buy an O,
Round and neat,
A nearly poifect circle,
Tidy and complete,
You kin sing a pretty song
With it like so:
O! O! O!

Would ya like ta buy an O,
Circular and sweet,
O looks just like a donut,
Really good enough to eat,
It'll cost ya just $29.95...

Tony: $29.95?

Lefty: SHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Tony (whispers) $29.95?

Lefty: Riiiiiiiiiiight!

Newsman: Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Lefty! You've been singing that song for years. Isn't the cost of the O a nickel?

Lefty: Inflation. I gotta make some kinda profit!

Tony: Okay, thank you, thank you, Lefty. I heard enough! I'll keep you in mind.

Lefty (to Tony) I don't tink ya fully understand.Did ya know that if ya buy an O, ya get two sounds for da price of one? Ya get one sound that youse can use for woids like "olive," "ostrich," and "ox." And fer no extra cost, ya get another sound, like "ocean," "over," "old," and "opening."

Lefty begins to sing and dance/sway.

Lefty (singing)

So would ya like ta buy an O,
I'm opening da door,
It's not often that I offer,
Well, could ya ask for more?
It'll cost ya just...(looks at Newsman, sighs) a nickel!

Tony: A nickel?

Lefty: SHHHHHHHHHH!

Tony (whispers) A nickel?

Lefty: Riiiiiiiiiight!

(sings)

So buy the O and take it home tonight,
Don't ask any questions,
Just buy the O and take it home tonight,
You'll really love it,
So buy the O and take it home tonight!

Ta-daaaaaaa!

Lefty ends his song with jazz hands.

Pause.

Tony: I'll think about it.

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: *sitting in his overstuffed chair. Alex is sleeping in his arms*

Bean: *reading a book on aliens, begins to make a foil hat*

Sweetums: SHHHHHhhhh! She had a rough night! Don't wake her!

Bean: Sorry.....

[Winslow Leach]

Lefty is watching the Newsman on TV.

Newsman: Here is a Muppet Newsflash! Mrs. Olga Z. Thunglebottom woke up this morning, only to find her husband's head turned into a prune. When asked to comment, Mrs. Thunglebottom replied, "oh, this is the best thing that could happen to me at my age. Now I don't have to spend money on prune juice."

This is the most ridiculous story I've ever read! Whoever heard of anyone's head turning into a--

POP!

The Newsman's head is transformed into a giant prune, with little beady eyes.

--prune ?

[Beakerfan]

Bean: *watching the Newsman on TV* HAHAHAHA! That's the funniest thing I've ever seen! Doncha think Sweetums?

Sweetums: Gosh, the poor guy.... I wonder how he'll get that fixed......

Bean: I dunno, but it's pretty funny! HAHAHAH- POOF! *Bean turns into a prune*

Sweetums: *picks up the Prune-Bean* See what you did now? You turned your WHOLE self into a prune...... we'd better figure out how to fix this.....

[Winslow Leach]

A knock on the door. Lefty, the only one in the room, opens it slightly.

Lefty: What's da passwoid?

Voice: Uh...Swordfish?

Lefty: Riiiiiiiight!

Lefty opens the door, admitting in an Anything Muppet kid.

Kid: Hiya, Lefty!

Lefty: SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Lefty shuts the door and locks it.

Lefty: We gotta hurry dis up. My roommates might be back soon.

Lefty pulls a small photo out of his coat pocket.

Lefty: Here it is. Ya got da nickel?

Kid: Sure do!

The kid hands Lefty a nickel, Lefty hands the kid the photo.

Lefty: Enjoy it. Now git outta here!

Kid: Wait a minute! There's nothing in this photo!

Lefty: Whaddaya talkin' about, of course dere is! Who is yer favorite actor?

Kid: Cary Grant.

Lefty: And whose autographed photo did I say I'd get ya?

Kid: Cary Grant's.

Lefty: Riiiiiight, riiiiight. So dere ya go! Whaddaya complainin' about?

Kid: This photo is blank!

Lefty: Nah, it's not blank. It's a photo of Cary Grant in his most famous role...da Invisible Man!

Kid: The Invisible Man?

Lefty: Yeah, yeah...riiiiiight! Oh, yer holdin' it upside down!

Lefty turns the photo rightside up.

Lefty: Dere.

Kid: Well...where's his autograph?

Lefty: Where is his autograph? Kid, whaddaya take me for? A chiseler? Can't ya see his autograph? It's right dere, written across da front. I was dere when he signed it.

Kid: I don't see it.

Lefty: Kid. I am hoit. I am honestly hoit. I handed that photo to Cary, and he signed it right in fronna me! It's right dere! "Ta my good, honest, bestest buddy in da whole entire woild, Jimmy Stewart!"

Kid: Jimmy Stewart?

Lefty: I mean Cary Grant. Riiiiight. Da reason why you can't see it is 'cause he wrote it in invisible ink!

Kid: Invisible ink?

Lefty: Riiiiiiight! 'Cause he played da Invisible Man, ya see?

Kid: Well...

Lefty: Trust me, kid, it's autentic!

Lefty leads the kid to the door.

Kid: Can you get me a Peter Lorre?

Lefty: Peter Lorre? Riiiiiight, riiiiight, come by next week, an' I'll have it for ya! A picture of him in his most famous role...da Invisible Man!

Kid: The Inv--

Lefty opens the door, and shoves the kid out. He slams the door and locks it.

Lefty: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiight!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Hello, gentlemen.
(Throws her bag on the bed)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Why have you been out so long?

Claudia:
Joined strike for no abortion.
Joined the Colombian strike against Farco...
Afterwards took some pictures.
Later I did some work.
Later I joined the appointment with Dr. Nobbe as he's interested in me
working for him over at the chiropratic clinic---we discussed once I had the following...I'd work for him.

Later I went to the nutrition store where this man kept eyeing me.
-_-

I'm tired.

Bunsen:
Do get some rest.
Phillip and I have been researching the causes for the strangeness that is...prune.

Claudia:
Say what?

Bunsen:
As announced by Newsman, the residents had transformed into prunes.
I fear the consequences if we do not find the cure soon enough.
We've been accused of being the cause for this mess!

Claudia:
Ohhh...so THAT...
-turns into a prune-

Bunsen:
We must be swift, Phillip!
Gather the evidence, we don't want the others discovering that
this indeed is our fault.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Gotcha.

---

Beaker:
(Squirts Tony, oblivious to it all)

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *walks in, eating a bag of dried fruit*

Sweetums: *eyes get big* What are you EATING?

Alex: Dried fruit medley..... it's got raisins, cranberries, mango, apple, apricot, banana, pineapple, prunes - *is tackled by Sweetums*

Sweetums: Don't worry everyone! I've SAVED you! I'll make sure she doesn't eat any of you!

Alex: O_O What the -? You are really strange some times. *sees the Prune-Bean on the couch* Again: What the -? Is that a giant...... prune?

Sweetums: Actually, it's Bean. He Poofed into a prune.....

Alex: You seriously need your head checked....

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
Oh dear, what to do!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Race you to the exit...
We may run with our lives...
And your giant prune too.

Bunsen:
How about I make a clever suggestion?

Dr. Van Neuter:
Go ahead, melonhead.

Bunsen:
We snack on that delicious prune wandering nearby!
(Eyes Newsman)

Dr. Van Neuter:
OOooo! Like, totally!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker stalks the hall, holding an oversized water gun almost nervously. Sucks in a breath, meeps silently as he makes his way to Tony's door.

Beaker:
Mee mee meeee!
(Holds a picture of Alex)
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPP!
(Knocks)
Stupid, meep.

[Winslow Leach]

Tony opens the door, and sees Beaker standing there, oversized water gun in hand.

Tony: You must be Beaker, eh? Whatcha got there?

Tony takes the picture of Alex from Beaker's hand and looks at it. He turns it over and reads.

Tony: "Water pistols at dawn?" What the...?

A BLAST of water squirts Tony in the face.

Tony: Unnngggghhhhh! Okay, you asked for it! Lefty!

Lefty: Whaddaya want?

Tony: You have a water pistol?

Lefty: Do I have a water pistol?

Tony: Yeah.

Lefty: Do I?

Lefty searches in his coat, and produces a giant water bazooka.

Lefty: Will dis do?

Tony: Oh yes. This'll do fine!

Lefty: It'll cost ya a nickel!

Tony: Put it on my tab.

Tony walks to the door, past Beaker, into the hallway.

[Winslow Leach]

The Newsman, still with a giant prune head, hurries into the room and slams the door.

Newsman: I was chased down five blocks by people trying to eat me!

Lefty: Heh heh, I saw dat happen on TV.

Newsman: You and about 10 million other people!

Lefty: Where's Crazy Harry?

Newsman: He's still at the theatre, working on explosions for a big production number. Actually, now that I think about it, he hasn't technically started working yet. He's been blowing up sets just for the heck of it.

Lefty: Dat guy's not careful, dere gonna put 'im away!

Newsman: Did I just see Tony and Beaker out in the hall with water pistols?

Lefty: Yeah.

Newsman: What's it all about? Is it newsworthy?

Lefty: Don't know, don't care.

Newsman: You don't happen to have a cure for prune-head, do you?

Lefty: Whadda I look like? A magician?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
Meep, meeep meep meeep.
Meee meee meee, blegh!
(Charges up his gun frantically, throwing some more insults to Tony)

Meep...(Looks at Tony, backs away) MEEP! (Panics) MEEEEEEEEPP!
(Sinks his head into the safety of his shirt)

(Makes a time-out sign with his hands)

The meeping Muppet rushes into an unoccupied room for a change.
He whips out a strange chemical substance in a clear flask for a drink.
A glow emanates from the room as he flies out of the room.

Dr. Van Neuter:
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...

Bunsen:
My very handsome assistant!

Prune Claudia:
(Drops to the side)

Beaker:
Meep meeep.
(To play fair, he sticks to the ground)
(Having not caught Tony's advantage, he feels water soak his supertights)
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEPP!

Bunsen:
Oh, what horror!
Be merciful on my stingy assistant!
(Clings to Tony)

[Winslow Leach]

Tony shakes Bunsen off; he readies his water bazooka, and aims it at Beaker.

Tony: Okay, carrot-top! You had this coming for a long time! I hear you've been trying to assassinate me for months now. Well...now I got you right where I want you!

Tony aims the water bazooka at Beaker; nothing happens.

Tony: Huh?

Tony turns the bazooka around, and peeks into the muzzle.

Tony: Coulda swore I--

Tony pulls the trigger.

WHOOSH!

A jet spray of water hits him in the eye, propelling him backward with great force. He lands on the floor, staring at the ceiling.

Tony: Ow.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(in room 7, the prune curse has struck...but in a rather different fashion)

Scooter: (apricot) The Newsman said that people's heads are turning into prunes, so why have we turned into the dried fruit mix?
Erin: (pineapple) Must be a mutant strain or something.
Nora: (fig) Why'd I have to get the fig? I don't like them when they're dried.
Beige: (date) But they're divine right off the tree. Those little red ones are the best.
Storyteller: (papaya) I'm going to go heat a huge pot of chocolate, if anyone feels like soaking their heads.
Scooter: Well...(breaks off a fragment of apricot) Hmm, not bad.
Erin: Too bad no one's head turned into a loaf of bread or some pound cake, or else we could do fondue.
Nora: I just hope the effect is sadly temporary.
Beige: Sadly temporary. (sigh) (breaks off a chunk of date and bites into it) Good stuff - how's that chocolate coming along?
Storyteller: (clanking around in kitchen) Give it a few minutes.

Grover: Oh Big Bird! Big Bird! Have you seen Big Bird? *walks on by the person he just asked*

Big Bird: *walking on down the hallway of to our rooms* Hello there Grover. What do you need?

Grover: I wanted to ask you if had seen my letter of the day poem?

Big Bird: Not that i can remember. Where did you leave it?

Grover: I do not have a clue.

Big Bird: If only we did. Hmmmmmmm...*puts finger on forehead* Maybe if you can remember your steps.

Grover: What is that?

Big Bird: Well......if i am right. Bryan told me that if you can retrace your steps you might be able to find what you lost.

Grover: Good idea Big Bird. I might just do that. Thank you Big Bird.

Big Bird: Your welcome Grover. If you need me i'll be in my nest getting ready for bed. Bye. *waves good bye to Grover* Now where is Kyle? *puts hand up to beak* Kyle, where are you?

Prairie stepping out our door a bit Hi Grover.Just make sure Cookie Monster didn't eat it. You know how he is with eating letter of the day cookies.Even though yours is on paper,I'd check if I were you.G'nite Grover.:)

[Erine81981]

Prairie stepping out our door a bit Hi Grover.Just make sure Cookie Monster didn't eat it. You know how he is with eating letter of the day cookies.Even though yours is on paper,I'd check if I were you.G'nite Grover.:)
Grover: Oh hi Prairie. You might be on to something there. I will cheak. Thanks alot Prairie. *runs off to find Cookie Monster*

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

Big Bird: *in his nest* Thank you Kyle for tucking me in.

*finishing tucking Big Bird in* Your welcome Big. Wanna story?

Big Bird: Sure. Let me get Radar. *grabs Radar off the floor by his nest*

Grover: Hello everybodieeeee! Can i have your attention? I am looking for a poem by me for the letter of the day. Has anyone seen it?

Everyone nods their heads no and some shurgs

Grover: If you do see it of find it. Let me know. I need it for a contest i am doing. Thank you for your attention. Bye! *shoots out the door*

Ok. Now for the story. Once a upon a time.......

Murray: *walks in* Hey guys. *looks down in the face*

*starts to read again but notices something worng with Murray* What's wrong Murray?

Murray: I wanted Oscar to play with me today but he hurt my feelings.

Big Bird: Oh that Oscar. Always hurting others feelings.

I understand Murray but Oscar is a grouch. You know that.

Murray: I know but being a grouch i thought he would have wanted to play a grouch game.

Did you tell him that?

Murray: No.

Then you should have told him, "Oscar i want to play a grouch game with you."

Murray: For real?

Yes. Now hurry on.

Murray: *comes over and hugs me and kisses me* Thanks Kyle! *runs out the door*

O-k. Now maybe no more distractions. *opens the book back up and reads over what he just read* There was a...........

Beau: Apparently we have new neighbours!
Mildred: Oooh.
George: Leaches...

[The Count]

Hmmm... Wonder if Grover ever found his poem. Oh well...
*Moves on to get started with a new day's events.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
I call this the Indoor Sundial!

This device allows you to use a sundial even when the sun isn't shining. The accurate clock motor keeps lamp in rotation around the dial just like the sun. Correct orientation is accomplished by free-turning design of the lamp bracket rotor. This unique timepiece blends ancient world charm with antiquated nineteenth century technology. Uses regular household current and voltage. Weight=800 lbs.

Claudia:
Pretty cool, but that's why we have a watch and a window!

Bunsen:
Oh, thank you, Claudia.
You reminded me of another invention that I made not too long ago.

I present to you the Wrist Model for those on the go, this special scaled-down wrist model is just the ticket. Based on the same principle as its larger cousin, this version is much lighter and runs on a small computer battery hidden under the dial surface.

Claudia:
Bunnie, no offense...but I don't think anybody would buy that.

Bunsen:
Not even my Wedge-Proof Underwear?

Claudia:
Not even...
ESPECIALLY that!
(Makes a face)

Beaker:
(Huffs)

Bunsen:
Oh, I'm a horrible inventor.
Maybe I should just become a barber instead.

Dr. Van Neuter:
You're kidding me, right?
You couldn't even do Miss Piggy's hair!

Bunsen:
I made Beaker's, though!
Isn't it an eye-catcher?

Used with that all-natural electric shock!

Beaker:
(Looks tramautized)

Claudia:
No need to go that far, Bunsen!
You just need...a better idea!

Bunsen:
Which would be?

Claudia:
A...a...a...

Bunsen:
Yes?

Claudia:
a...a........

Bunsen:
Yes? Yes?

Claudia:
....

I got nothin'.

[Beakerfan]

Bean: *back to normal, overhears Bunsen* Mr. Honeydew DOES know that there is a much more accurate method of telling time besides the sun, right?

Sweetums: *holding a sleeping Alex* I don't know, why don't you go ask him? And while you're at it, could you find someone that can make her feel better? My arms are getting tired, man!

Bean: Why don't you set her down?

Sweetums: Aw, I can't do that! She's really sad. She feels better when I hug her.

Bean: Well, just don't hug her too tight.... *goes to ask Bunsen about telling the time*

[Erine81981]

Did Grover ever find his poem?

Cookie M: Not that me know of. *piece of paper hanging out of his mouth*

What's this? *grabs the piece of paper*

Cookie M: Mmmmmmmm piece of paper?

Yea but what to?

Cookie M: To another piece of paper?

Ok. Were getting closer but what was on this peice of paper?

Cookie M: Me not remember? *holds arms up*

Cookie!

Cookie M: Ok ok ok. Me ate Grover's "A" poem. Me so sorry.

Don't tell me. Tell Grover.

Cookie M: Do me have to?

Yes.

Cookie M: Oh boy. He going to be mad at me.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Eating a bowl of pasta)
I'm oddly stiff.

Bunsen:
Strange, what happened?

Claudia:
Not sure.
Maybe I am just stressed.
So, wha-

Bunsen:
Question, Mr. Bean?
(Offers him a chair)
Sit, sit!

Claudia:
How's Alex, Bean?

Beaker:
(Looks to them in wonder)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Poor kid.

[Beakerfan]

Bean: Hi guys. Um, Mr. Honeydew, I have a question...... you DO realize that people don't use the sun to tell time anymore, don't you? Oh, Alex is really sad. She cries a lot. She doesn't handle death very well, you know.... Sweetums and I can't figure out how to cheer her up!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
(Clears throat)
Minor set-back.
Too much travel through the Time Machine can scramble your common sense.

So sorry to hear that about Alex.
I have just the ticket to cheer her up!

With two doses of this...

Claudia:
Don't even think about it.

Bunsen:
The only side-effects are numbness and loss of hearing...

Claudia:
(Glares)

Bunsen:
Fine.
I shall go by your words.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Oooo, send her to a spa!
That'll do the trick!

Beaker:
(Thinks naughty thoughts)

Claudia:
(Pinches him)

Beaker:
(Looks innocent)
Meep?

[Beakerfan]

Bean: A spa? Well.... she does like to look pretty. And get massages, that's for sure! That's a really nice idea.

[Winslow Leach]

The once-empty shelves are now filled with books, DVDs and CDs. On the stereo is a Johnny Cash album.

The Newsman is sitting at his desk, typing a story. His head is back to normal.

Tony is at his desk, staring blankly at an empty piece of paper in his typewriter.

Lefty is in his hammock, flipping a coin continiously, like George Raft in the 1932 version of "Scarface."

Crazy Harry is sitting in the corner, giggling, and wiring some explosives.

Tony: Yep.

Newsman: Yep.

Lefty: Uh-huh.

Crazy Harry: Hahahahahahahahahaha...

Tony: One of those nights.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Sitting against the wall, eyes closed, mouthing the words to "Una Furtive LaGrima" by Juan Diego Florez as it plays on her stereo.

Sweetums: Gives Alex a worried look and turns on the tv

[Winslow Leach]

Suddenly, Tony senses something is wrong. He gets up, leaves the room, goes to the elevator, and rides up to room 24.

He stands outside the door, and knocks.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Continues to lipsynch to the opera in a trance-like state....

Sweetums: Hi Tony! *hugs him* Boy am I glad to see you! I think you came just in time, too....

[Winslow Leach]

Tony (being hugged by Sweetums) Ooof!

Tony pats Sweetums on the shoulder, and moves to Alex. He sits down next to her, and looks into her eyes. He takes her in his arms, and holds her tightly.

Tony: It'll be okay, sweetie...shhhh...it's okay...

Tony holds Alex.

[The Count]

*Leaves four little white boxes at Room #9's doorstep. These are the MC SM Kermit badges with the names of Tony and each of his roomies in silver lettering on the collar. You get these upon becoming a Senior here, but now that he's moved in with roomies, they each get one too by default or association. Take your pick.

*Moves on to get some sleep, long day on campus.
*Thinks how to restart counting as he goes to sleep.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *breaks into uncontrollable sobs*

Sweetums: *frustrated* I'm gonna go.... Bean, keep an eye on her, ok? Tony..... you're on your own.

Bean: Well, not entirely.... carrot? *offers Tony a carrot*

Sweetums: *goes outside to sit on the swing*

[Katzi428]

Prairie:Kathy and Rosita..I was thinking that we should send Alex a card and some flowers.
That's a good idea,Prairie.I know she has Tony and her roomies to comfort her.But maybe a sympathy card and flowers from us would help too.
Prairie:Wish I'd thought of it earlier.
Rosita:Well,at least you thought of it.We'll go out tomorrow and get the flowers and card.
Wait girls...I have an idea. We can print out a card tonight on the printer.Let's look for some pretty designs.
the three of us look through all the designs for cards until we find one that has all different flowers on it.OK..we've got it. printing it out and writing:
Dear Alex,
We're really sorry to hear about your grandmother.We know how much it hurts.If you need to talk to any of us,let us know.
(((BIG HUGS))))))
Kathy Prairie Rosita and Gaffer

[Winslow Leach]

Lefty opens the door and looks down at the boxes on the doorstep.

Lefty: Hey, what's dis?

Lefty carries the boxes into the room, and opens one.

Lefty: Alright! Badges with da frog on 'em!

Newsman: Shouldn't we open those when Tony gets back?

Lefty (already pinning his badge on) Nah! Hey Crazy Harry, look what ya got!

[Winslow Leach]

Tony is still sitting against the wall of room 24, holding Alex, gently rocking her. A half-eaten carrot is on his lap, a gift from Bean the night before. He softly sings "Love Me Tender."

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
(Chews on a celery in a fit of jealousy)

Bunsen:
Aw, you're a strapping young lad, Beakie!
I'm sure there are plenty more to come by, my tall friend.

Beaker:
(Sigh)

Bunsen:
Come now, it's going to be a doozy!
Who can resist two delectable scientists in a Benz?

Claudia:
You can't drive well...:P

Bunsen:
Oh-ho, isn't she a sweet one?
Let's go out and have a good time!
Come on, don't be shy.
Show your stuff, Beakie!

Beaker:
(Groans)

[Erine81981]

Guys i heard that one of our fellow dormies isn't having a wonderful day. So let's go cheer her up.

Grover: We are all ready.

Monsters, Birds and Snuffleupgus: Ready!

Good.

We all head over to Alex's room and start our little song for her.

*knock knock* Hello Alex. We are all so sorry to hear about your grandmother Alex.

Big Bird: I know i would be sad too if my grannybird died.

Herry: We want to sing you a song. Hope this helps out a little.

We start to play our little band

Me: When skies are grey and days are dark
And life kinda gets you down
Don't sit, knit your brows and frown
Don't jump in the creek and drown

Cookie M: Reach out one time to find a friend
And then you will understand
That life is worth living
Living fur in fur

Big Bird: When you're feeling downhearted
When you're lower than duuuust
When you're feeling so downright mean
You could practically bust

Snuffy: When your friends have departed
And there isn't a good thing you can see
Reach out your snuffle, baby
You can lean on me

Me and the Gang: The more you want us near you
The nearer we'll be
We're reaching out to cheer you
And you can lean on us
The more the joy of giving
The greater the gift
So share the life you're living
And see your spirits lift

We then repeat the first two verses overlapping each other

Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: When skies are grey and days are dark
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: When you're feeling downhearted
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: And life kinda gets you down
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: When you're lower than dust
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: Don't sit, knit your brows and frown
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: When you're feeling so downright mean
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: Don't jump in the creek and drown
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: You could practically bust

Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: Reach out one time to find a friend
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: When your friends have departed
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: And then you will understand
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: And there isn't a good thing you can see
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: That life is worth living
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: Reach out your hand, baby
Big Bird, Cookie M, Bruce and Murray: Living hand in hand
Me, Snuffy, Grover and Herry: You can lean on me

Me and the Gang: The more you want us near you
The nearer we'll be
We're reaching out to cheer you
And you can lean on us
The more the joy of giving
The greater the gift
So share the life you're living
And see your spirits lift

(Sweetums, Bean and Tony join in)

Me, Sweetums, Bean Tony and the Gang: It's beautiful to live your life
With people who understand
That life's worth living
Living hand in hand (living hand in hand)
Yes, life's worth living
Living hand in ...
Living, living, living hand in hand!

(music ends)

Prairie:Good afternoon...Fran's Fragrant Flowers,may I help you?
Hi Prairie...it's Kathy.

Prairie:All righty.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: Ernie, Bert, it's great having you guys stay with us again. I'm glad Bry asked me to do it.
Bert: Yeah, me too. Of all the places to stay, your room's one of my favorites Ryan.
Ryan: Really?
Ernie: Have you forgotten, Bert, that Gonzo lives here?
Bert: Well, no, of course not. Who could forget that. But I'm much happier now that I have someone dignified and normal like Sam to talk to.
Sam: Mmhm, yes indeed mister Bert! It is wonderful to have someone with as much culture and class as you staying with us.
Ryan: Sheesh...

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Guys, I feel like I've been a bad roommate, I haven't been around much

Beth: I'll help, let's get to work
Red: Yay! It feels back to normal here!
Beth: Is it ever normal?
Red: Ok, you got me there

[Erine81981]

*watching Scrubs DVD first season* This is one funny show. I've enjoy it ever since watching the reruns on other channels. So i finally got the first seasons. *head whooes toward Herry* Can't wait to get the other seasons. *smiles really big*

Herry: *eyebrows raise up* Your scaring me.

Sorry. I've been watching to much.

Herry: You can say that again. So did Alex ever like our song?

Not that i know of. She's still sad. I can understand. When my grandpa passed away. I was just not really wanting to talk to anyone.

Herry: I remember. You were sad.

Yea. So i understand where she's coming from. Wanna watch any with me?

Herry: *looks at me like are you kidding me*

*nervous laughter* Gotcha. *points finger like gun*

Herry: We have to get you out more. *gets up and walks to his room*

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Ok Mokey, you have the card for Alex?
Mokey: Yep
Wanda: I've got the cookies here too
Beth: All right let's leave them by her door. Hopefully a certain hungry monster will not find them first
Wanda: I wrapped them in extra cellophane just in case
Beth: Good idea
*they leave a sympathy card and some chocolate chip cookies outside of Alex's room*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Bites her lip)
So...

Bunsen:
Yes.
Mailing him to the hospital now...
(Tsks at his flattened assistant)

Beaker:
(Whimpering)
Meewooooooo...

Dr. Van Neuter:
Remembering those days makes me glad I'm a taxidermist.

Bunsen:
I really do agree!

Claudia:
(Goes back to work)

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: *brings in the gifts* Alex, come look at these! *smells the flowers*

Alex: Oh, those are gorgeous! Daffodils are my favorite, you know. I'll have to go thank Kathy and the girls. Aw, and cookies from Beth's room? How sweet!

Bean: Wow, that's real nice of everyone! Wasn't Kyle's song super fun?

Alex: It was. That was real nice of him. I'd better go thank everybody! *heads over to Kathy's room*

[The Count]

Oh hi Alex... If you need anything... Like a good friendly hug... We're here for ya kiddo.
UD: Chin up... Happier times are in store for you.
Count: Especially with so many friends you can count on.

*We all wish Alex well in an attempt to brighten her day.

[Winslow Leach]

Tony returns to his room, and notices Lefty, Crazy Harry and the Newsman wearing their new badges.

Tony: Hey guys, I...where'd you get the badges?

Lefty: What badges?

Newsman: They were left outside of our room by The Count.

Crazy Harry: HAHAHAHAHOOOOHEEEEEEHAHAHAHA!

Tony: Cool. Where's mine?

Newsman: There's an extra one there for you.

(Tony looks around room)

Tony: Where?

Lefty: Hey! Psst! C'mere!

Tony: What?

Lefty pulls Tony's badge out of his coat.

Lefty: Check dis out!

Tony: My badge!

Lefty: Riiiight, riiiiight. It could be your badge. Fer a nickel!

Tony (grabs badge from Lefty) Gimme that! I must go thank The Count!

(Tony leaves, and heads for The Count's room)

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(A care package is sent off to Alex's room: it contains a quilt from Erin, a joke book from Scooter, a book of poetry from Nora, a pot of radish-potato stew from Storyteller, and Beige's old plush rumblebug. There is also a sympathy card signed by all five residents.)

(back in room 7, the gang is seated in a circle in the common room, and Scooter has his guitar)

Scooter: I dedicate this song to Alex. (starts to play)

When you're down...and troubled,
And you need a helping hand,
And nothing, oh nothing is going right...
Close your eyes and think of me,
And soon I will be there,
To brighten even your darkest nights...

You just call out my name,
And you know wherever I am,
I'll come running, yes I will,
To see you again...
Winter, spring, summer or fall,
All you've got to do is call,
And I'll be there, yes I will...
You've got a friend.

If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds,
And that old north wind begins to blow...
Keep your head together,
And call my name out loud,
Soon I'll be knocking on your door...

All: You just call out my name,
And you know wherever I am,
I'll come running...to see you again,
Winter, spring, summer or fall,
All you've got to do is call,
And I'll be there...

Scooter: Ain't it good to know you've got a friend,
'Cause people can be so cold,
They'll hurt you, and desert you,
They'll take your soul if you let them,
But don't you let them...

All: You just call out my name,
And you know wherever I am,
I'll come running...to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall,
All you've got to do is call,
And I'll be there, yes I will...
You've got a friend.

(Tune in question is "You've Got a Friend;" tip of the hat to Carole King, who wrote it, and James Taylor, who covered it.)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
(Cuddles up to Beaker)
Oh...

Beaker:
(Does so unconsciously)
Meeepp...

Dr. Van Neuter:
Like, wow!
That was just...
(Cuddles up to Beaker)

Claudia:
...Sweet.
(Melts)

Um...could you guys stop cuddling me?

Bunsen:
OH! Pardon me!

Beaker:
(Flushes a magenta)

Dr. Van Neuter:
I'mmarried.

Claudia:
(Rolls eyes at Phil's comment)
That was so kind of Scooter.
:P That should make Alex feel better. <3

[The Count]

*Meanwhile... Uncle D plays the batty organ in tune to Scooter's singing.
Count is off admiring the new MC smilies, enthralled by the selection and the new ones just minted and added.

Me: Another weekend... And I've got stuff to do weighing the fun quotia down. But it'll get tended to, eventually.
*Plops down after a good supper to wach Thursday night TV.

[BEAR]

(A care package is sent to Kyle's room along with a note...)

Dear Cookie Monster:insatiable: ,

I am here at home stage managing a show and I baked some cookies for the kids in my cast. I had some extras so I thought I'd send them to you. They are white chocolate macadamia nut. Share with the others. Also, I hear that Alex has been going through hard times, so it would be nice of you to share with her too.

Hope everything is well. Give my love to the gang. I miss you all and will see you soon.

Love,
Bryan

[Erine81981]

Lookie at what you got Cookie. A carepackage of cookies from Bryan.

Cookie M: Gimme gimme gimme! *takes the package and starts to eat them all*

Hold up Cookie. There's a letter here too. *reads the letter to Cookie Monster*

Dear Cookie Monster :insatiable:,

I am here at home stage managing a show and I baked some cookies for the kids in my cast. I had some extras so I thought I'd send them to you. They are white chocolate macadamia nut. Share with the others. Also, I hear that Alex has been going through hard times, so it would be nice of you to share with her too.

Hope everything is well. Give my love to the gang. I miss you all and will see you soon.

Love,
Bryan

And that's what it says.

Cookie M: But me want them all.

That's not what sharing is about. Come with me. *grabs Cookie by the hand*

We head over to Alex's room

Hey Alex. How are you feeling?

Cookie M: Lookie at what Bryan sent me. Cookies!

Bryan heard that you were having a bad week so he told Cookie in his letter that it would be nice to share with you.

For no reason some music starts up

Cookie M: Me got some something that she want
she got some something that me want
Put both somethings together and share

Me: She'll take her something that she likes
You take your something that you like
Then put both things together and share

Cookie M: Yeah

Both: One for all, all for one
Sharing every everything for fun

Me: Maybe one something is little
Maybe one something is bigger

Cookie M: But hey! What else can me figure to do

Both: But to share your every somethings with her

Cookie M: (spoken) Hey Kyle. Me got it all figured out
Me: (spoken) Oh good.

Cookie M: (spoken) Ok now. Me got cookie and she got milk
Me: (spoken) *nods in agreement* If she has any.

Cookie M: (spoken) Right. So she give me milk and me got milk and cookies.
Me: (spoken) Wait a second Cookie Monster. What do you think we've been singing about?

Cookie M: (spoken) Me no know. Me no listen.
Me: (spoken) No no no. What we've been singing about is sharing. See she'll give you some of her milk (if she has some) and you give her some of your cookies.
Cookie M: (spoken) Oh me see!

Both: All for one, one for all
Sharing every everything and having a ball

Cookie M: Me got more something than she got
She got more something that me got

Both: So what? We're sharing them all equally

Cookie M: Because the best thing we got to share

Me: The best thing you two got to share

Both: Yeah, the best thing we got to share's you and her

Me: You and her

Cookie M: Me and her

Me: You and her

Cookie M: Both of us

Me: Cookie Monster and Alex

Cookie M: Cookie Monster and Alex and Cookie Monster

Me: And Me too

Cookie M: Oh, me love this song

(the music fads out)

Now you see what i was talking about?

Cookie M: Yes me do. Me and Alex get all these cookies to our selfs.

Yes....no! Aren't you going to share with me?

Cookie M: Nope. Me and Alex. Bye bye! *shuts Alex's door on me*

Now what kind of friend is he? *scoffs and walks away*

[The Count]

*Laughs. Hey Kyle, there's a white macadamia chocolate cookie in the fridge from last time I went to Subway's. It's yours if you want it.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Hops onto Eddie's back)
And you did not save me some?
You bad man. :/

(Glomps)

I'm joking.
Here.
Got you a brownie.
(Hands it to him happily)

[Erine81981]

Thanks Ed. But i'm not really into those kind. I don't know what came over me. I just wanted to share in the fun.

*music kicks in again*

Not again! *pulls at hair and runs into the room shutting the door behind me*

[Winslow Leach]

Tony is at the typewriter...typing. The Newsman is on TV.

Newsman: Here is a Muppet Newsflash! A major recall on El Cheapo stage and television lights is currently in effect. Apparently the bulbs are so bright, they cause whatever they're lighting to suddenly turn into popcorn. A spokesperson for El Cheapo said earlier today...

The Newsman's desk explodes into mounds and mounds of popcorn, engulfing him.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Erine81981]

I feel really bad for that newsman.

Grover: We all do. But he is not as good as froggy baby.

Oh by the way. Can you send these cookies to room 6?

Grover: I am on the job. *salutes*

Good. Now to watch some.......oh wait. I almost forgot. I can work a little on the Muppet Wiki. *gets the stuff i need* There. Now on to working. *starts typing really fast*

[The Count]

*Gets glomped by sissy. Gaah! Ooh, brownie? Thankies.
Kyle, you got an account on Wiki? How fun! Wonder what those Twiddlebugs are up to. Eh, they've probably driven Prawnie crazy.

*End music can be heard as Ed collapses happily on his own bed.
UD: MC Dorms have been brought to you by the letter...
Me, snoring: Zzzzzzz.
Count: And by the number 4. For MC's 4th awards ceremony. Go and vote!

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *cuddled up in her quilt from Erin, sharing cookies and milk with Cookie* These are really good! Thank Bryan for me, ok Cookie? And thank you for sharing! That was a real fun song you and Kyle sang!

Sweetums: *eating some of Storyteller's stew* So was the song Scooter sang!

Alex: You bet. That's always been one of my favorites.

Bean: *reading the joke book* tee hee.... tee hee....... See? We told you things would get better.

Alex: You sure did. *looks at a cookie thoughtfully* I'm just afraid that they're going to get worse before things get any better than this.....

Sweetums: Well, then I'd say they'd be pretty good, doncha think?

Alex: You bet.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
D: NOOOOO!
Bunnie, stay with me!

Bunsen:
I can't!
I'm turning into something buttery and delicious!
Look, just take a bite out of me!

Claudia:
(Giggles)
(Clears throat)
Bunnie, stop eating yourself!

Bunsen:
All right, you're the one with common sense today...
But do take a bite...I'm terribly delicious.

Claudia:
Stop saying that.
It does not sound right.
(Giggles, breaks into uncontrollable laughter)

Beaker:
(Attempts to pick popcorn from Bunsen)

Claudia:
(Slaps his hand away)
Beaker, find a cure!
I fear if Bunsen were to get too close to the heater...
He'd start popping!

Bunsen:
Deliciously!

Dr. Van Neuter:
That Newsman...how does he do it?

[Winslow Leach]

Newsman: How did you sleep?

Tony: Not...well.

Newsman: Oh?

Tony: All night you were going "pop, pop! Pop pop!" in your sleep.

Newsman: Well, I had a traumatic experience.

Tony (under his breath) Every one of your broadcasts seem to be a traumatic experience.

Newsman: What's that?

Tony: I said I gotta get to class.

Lefty (on his hammock) Aw, whaddaya gotta go ta class fer?

Tony: 'Cause I don't want to end up like you!

Lefty: And what is dat supposed ta mean?

Tony: You'd sell a plastic surgery kit to a raisin!

Lefty: Dat's true. Dem raisins are all wrinkly. I'm just doin' dem a favor. Sue me.

Tony: Nah, I think there are enough people already doing that!

Lefty: Huh?

Tony: Go back to sleep.

Lefty: I got some new moichendise comin' in taday, and I ain't even gonna give ya da coitesy of foist pick!

Tony grabs the hammock, and spins it around, Lefty clutching on for dear life.

Lefty: Hey! What da...? Knock it off! I'm gettin' sick here!

Tony lets go of the hammock, and leaves the room. Lefty continues to swing back and forth.

Lefty: What's eatin' him?

Newsman: Hopefully not a newsdesk...(shudders)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Tony, what did you do to my Bunsen?
(Carrying a pile of popcorn)

Bunsen:
How did this happen?
This is brilliant!

Claudia:
He's out of it...
Bunnie, you aren't delicious!
You are a muppet with an overdeveloped cranium!

Bunsen:
Am I? Oh how flattering.

Claudia:
(Sighs)
TONNNYYY!

[The Count]

*Nibbling on some popcorn bought at the store when last we went for groceries...

[Winslow Leach]

Tony: Claudia, I didn't do that to Bunsen! (inadvertently taking some of the Bunsen-popcorn from Claudia and eating it) Walter Crankcase in there was trying to warn consumers against using a particular brand of light, I dunno, I wasn't really paying attention. (grabs another handful of Bunsen-popcorn) Hey, this is good. See ya later!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Gasps as he takes some of Bunsen's parts)
Oh-o-oh really?
(Squeaks as he does it again)
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
OH NO YOU DON'T!
HIII-YAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!
(Pork-chops him)

Get your hands off my popco-...
BUNSEN!

Bunsen:
Hope you enjoyed me!
Hoo-hoo!

Claudia:
(Rolls eyes)
(Spots Eddie)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
STOPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
EDWARD!
You might be eating your own mother! D:

Bunsen:
We could be delicious together!
Isn't this delightful?

Claudia:
Not until your whole body has been digested!

[Beakerfan]

Alex: I smell popcorn......

Sweetums: Yeah, I think Claudia's having a movie day or something. I was gonna go over there, do ya wanna come?

Alex: Welll...... OK! *they walk over to Claudia's room*

Sweetums: Hey, popcorn! Claudia, why are you guarding the popcorn?

Alex: Oh. My. Gosh. Phil! I love your nails! Could you help me do mine? I have to paint them for the service tomorrow. I'm gonna be wearing the most adorable dress!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Dr. Van Neuter:
Of course you do!
Who doesn't love my nails?

Alright, Sweetheart!
French tips? Or maybe Poison Apple Red?

Claudia:
Because our light turned Bunnie into junk food!

Bunsen:
Yoo-hoo, hello Sweetums!
How kind of you to drop by!

Beaker:
(Snugs Alex)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Give her some space!
Beauty is not something you can embrace..
It's intangible!

[The Count]

To Clauds: Little sister don't you run...
Nah, mom's fine back home. Had lunch with our grandfather, then we did a couple of errands... Good to be back home. So, next event up is the awards... And boy are there plans!
That reminds me Claudia, did Nick anythingmuppet talk to you about the second batch of trophy designs? *Pops open a canof lymon soda to drink down.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: Ooh, I was thinking something like bubble gum pink. Or something. You pick! *hugs Beaker*

Bean: *walks in and sees what happened to Bunsen* What - oh no... oh no.... no no no no no........ *shivers* not again......

Sweetums: *picks up Bean* Aw, it's ok little buddy! Trust me, that won't happen to you, ok?

Bean: *continues to shiver*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Dr. Van Neuter:
Cotton candy pink for the beautiful blue-eyed girl!

Bunsen:
Fret not, Mr. Bean!
I'm feeling just dandy!
Should you like some tea to calm your tense nerves, waltz right over to the kitchen.

Claudia:
Stop...eating...yourself..Bunsen.
Found the darn cure yet, Beaker?

Beaker:
(Shrugs)
(Pinches her nose)

Claudia:
HE- (Gulps it down)

Beaker:
(Observes her expression)

Claudia:
(Blinks)
Hey, I'm OK! :D

Beaker:
(Gives a thumbs up and gives some to Bunsen)

Bunsen:
What an awful taste!
Wait...I'm feeling more solid!
Oh-ho! You did it Beakie!

Beaker:
Mee mee!

Bunsen:
It's great to be me again!

Claudia:
(Hears Eddie's voice)
Oh, yeah!
I did!
Finished a couple of them meself and sent it to Ryan!
:)

[The Count]

*Skulking around Claudie's room... Hexcellent. *Leaves delightedly with secret plans.

[Winslow Leach]

Well, I'm glad Bunsen is back to normal. Earlier today, after I munched that swell-tasting popcorn, I heard a weird sound coming from my stomach...kinda like a laugh.

Tss-ss-ss...

...is what it sounded like. Freaked me out, 'cause I was all alone, and I heard this Tss-ss-ss. Then I put two and two together, and came up with...FOUR! I mean...the...thing with...Bunsen turning into...er...yeah...

(sulks away)

[theprawncracker]

Ernie: Hey there Ryan! So I was talking to Link--
Ryan: I'm so sorry.
Ernie: Khekhekhe! No, he was telling me that the awards are coming up soon!
Ryan: Oh! Well, yup, Link's right. ...Never thought I'd say those two words in a row... the award ceremony was scheduled to be this weekend.
Ernie: Was?
Ryan: Uh, I mean is. Is scheduled for this weekend.
Ernie: Hmm... okay then! Well if that's true I need to go get Rubber Duckie's tuxedo rented! C'mon Rubber Duckie! *squeaks Rubber Duckie*
Ryan: Heh, alright Ernie, have a good time.
Clifford: So nobody else knows, huh?
Ryan: Knows? Knows what?
Clifford: *chuckles* Alright dude, I'll play dumb too...
Ryan: *eyes Clifford* Yeah, you better...

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Nearly done with the last few awards needed for tommorow)

Bunsen:
I've seemed to have lost my laugh, and I can't find it at all.

Claudia:
Really? How queer!

Bunsen:
I...
(Hears his laughter)
Ah, found it.
Might as well open up Mr. Tony.
Ooooo Mr. Tonnnyyy!

[Winslow Leach]

Tony: Oh hey, Bunsen!

(Tony notices a scalpel in Bunsen's hand)

I...what are you...stay back! Stay back!

(from inside Tony's stomach, a laugh is heard)

Tss-ss-ss!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
Stay still, Tony.
This won't hurt too much, honest!
Here are some anesthetics...

(Looks more menacing as he approaches the poor defenseless man)

xD

[Winslow Leach]

Bunsen's laugh is extracted from Tony's stomach.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
There, all I needed to do was tickle my laugh out with the scalpel!
See? And you thought I was going to cut you up.
Silly you!

[Winslow Leach]

Yeah, Bunsen...really funny!

(faints)

[The Count]

*Peeking out of our room...
Count: Is it safe?
UD, looking around: Yes... Seems the melon head has subtracted his smiles from that Leach person.

[Erine81981]

Cookie M: What we eating tonight?

I was thinking of "Chicken Al King" with noodles.

Cookie M: Cowabunga! Me love that stuff.

Yep. I remember.

Herry: Hey Kyle and Cookie Monster.

Hey Herry. What's up?

Herry: Nothing. Just glad to be off saturday and sunday.

Cookie M: Hi Herry. We having Chicken on King.

Herry: I think you mean Chicken Al King.

Cookie M: Who's Al? *looks at me and Herry*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Has Bunsen on her lap)
(Watching World's End)
I love this movie.

Bunsen:
Mmm-hhmm!
Beakie, what on earth are you wearing?

Beaker:
(Sigh)
(In a dress)

Dr. Van Neuter:
Just borrowing him for Alex's dress I'm making!

Bunsen:
My, my!
Don't you look quite the princess today?
May I take you to the ball, Beakerella?

Beaker:
MEEP!

Claudia:
Stop teasing him.
(Laughs)

[Katzi428]

Prairie:How are you feeling,Kath?
Eh...I'm OK. Just want to get rid of these blasted headaches and get some answers from my doctor.
Prairie:I understand. Hey...I kept forgetting to tell you but now I remember.Grover came up here with a white macadamia chocolate cookie that Kyle didn't want.I know you like those.
Thanks Prairie. You sure you or Rosita don't want it?
Prairie:It's all yours.
Good!I was hungry for that cookie anyway. :hungry: But I wanted to make sure that our resident cookie lover wasn't around.
Prairie:He's with Kyle somewhere.You're safe.;) Want a glass of milk to go with it?
Sure!
Prairie leaves and I grumble in a low Cookie Monster voice Coookkiieesss!

[Erine81981]

Cookie M: *thinks he hears something* Did me hear something? *thinks a bit* Nah. Me just hearing things again. So what else we do tonight?

Don't know.

Murray: Why not play a game?

Big Bird: That sounds like fun.

Snuffy: I wanna play too! *jumps up and down which make the whole room bounce around*

Ok ok. Settle down Snuffy. Don't wanna see you through to the next floor. *brings out some borad games* Does anyone want to play "Yautzee?"

Everyone: Nah.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:

Finished assignments...

Bunsen:
Yes.
It's best you get some shut-eye.
You have a very busy day ahead of you.

Claudia:

Bunsen:
You still have much to do.
Remember, you must do...

Claudia:
Don't remind me.
You win.

I need to sleep anyway.
Nighty night.

Beaker:
Meep.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Hold still, Beaker!

[Winslow Leach]

Tony paces the floor, hands in his pockets, his head bowed.

Lefty: Hey kid. Kid! Yer gonna wear out da floor, ya keep pacin' like dat! And I don't tink I kin get a new floor for ya dis weekend. Ya'd hafta wait till Monday at least.

Tony: I'm thinking of the MC awards ceremony next week.

Lefty: What's da problem?

Tony: Nothing.

Lefty: Den stop pacin'.

Tony stops pacing for a moment; resumes.

Tony: Sorry. I'm just thinking of--

Lefty: Oh...riiiiight, riiiiight, I getcha. Yer afraid you ain't gonna win one of dem awards, ain't ya? Don't worry, I got ya covered! I'll getcha one.

Lefty: Dat's it?

Lefty: Who? Crazy Harry?

Tony: No.

Lefty: Da Newsman what's always gettin' his reports spoiled?

Lefty thinks for a moment.

Lefty: Oooooh! Riiiiiiight, riiiiiight! I know who ya mean!

Tony: Yeah.

Lefty: So?

Tony: So, I want to ask her to be my date, but I'm nervous.

Lefty: Nah. You ain't noivous. Ya don't look noivous!

Tony: Are you kidding? I'm sprouting a beak and feathers!

Lefty: Kid, I don't tink ya got anyting ta worry about.

Tony: Why?

Lefty: Woid on da street is...she likes ya too!

Tony: Really?

Lefty: Ya didn't hear it from me!

Tony: So...you think I should ask her?

Lefty: Well, ya kin take either her or me.

Tony: I'll ask her!

(Tony boldly opens the door, and walks out of room, shutting it behind him; he immediately re-opens door)

Tony: Is my hair okay?

Lefty: Will ya git outta here?

Lefty throws a pillow at Tony, who slams the door, before the pillow can hit him. The pillow plops against the closed door.

[Winslow Leach]

Tony stands nervously outside of room 24. He takes a small piece of paper and a pencil out of his pocket, and hastily scribbles a note. He slides it under the door, and hurries back down the hall.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Smirks mischeviously)
Tony, where do you think you are going?
OH ALEEEXX!
HE SO WANTS TO TAKE YOU OUT ON A DAT-

Dr. Van Neuter:
(Clamps his hand over her mouth)
Shut it, loud mouth!
It ain't easy stepping up to a woman...
For a....date.
(Remembers the time he had to do the same with Composta--but it all ended with passionate kisses...and other stuff)

Claudia:
MFFFMMMMEEEE!

Bunsen:
Claudia, you should very well be ashamed.
Do give the poor boy some understanding!

Claudia:
But shef sho shay yef!

Bunsen:
If I can understand Beaker...
I certainly can understand that.

Claudia:
I Fent mm coofie!

Bunsen:
(Hands her one)

Claudia:
(Pinches Neuter)
(Freed, nibbles on cookies)
Mmmm..

ALE-

Dr. Van Neuter:
(Does it again)

[Beakerfan]

Bean: *picks up the note*

Alex: What's that, Bean?

Bean: I dunno. *hands it to Alex*

Sweetums: What's it say?

Alex: Can't tell...... whomever it's from has pretty bad handwriting.....

Sweetums: Oh. What was Claudia yelling about?

Bean: Something about Tony wanting to take Cookie on a date.....

Alex: What the.... Bean, that makes no sense.

Bean: *shrugs*

[Winslow Leach]

Tony walks back to room 24, and paces. He stops, breathes deeply, and knocks on the door. Does it open? If it does...

Tony: Hi, Alex. Um, I was wondering if you would like to go to the Muppet Central awards with me next week. As my date. Um...would you like to?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Eavesdropping)
Shut off that machine, will you?

Bunsen:
No can do.
Doing so will cause a breakdown.

Claudia:
(Shakes head)

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *opens the door* Tony, I would gladly go with you to the awards ceremony! Um, why do you seem nervous? And what's this I hear about you wanting to date Cookie Monster?

Sweetums: *across the hall at Claudia's* Hey Big Ears.... you know, you really don't have to eavesdrop.... I don't think it helps.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Opens the door slowly)
Oops? What are you talking about?
Accusing me this way?

(Bumps into a wall as she walks into the hall)
Ouch! Ok ok I was!

Bunsen:
Tsstsst!

Beaker:
MEEEP?
DATE?
MEEMOMWEEE!
(Tackles Tony fiercely)

Bunsen:
Down, Beaker!
Down!

Claudia:
(Blinks)

[Winslow Leach]

Oh, wow, you'll go with me, Alex? You just made my day! Um, I don't know why I'm nervous...I get like that...oh, and that letter I slipped under your door? Er...I have the real one here. The one I gave you was actually my recipe for chocolate-chip fondue, er...(turns red)...er...kinda embarrassing, heh heh! But...great! Yeah, we'll go together, and have fun!

Oh, and the rumors of me dating Cookie Monster...completely not true! Who spreads these things anyway?

[Winslow Leach]

Tony is knocked down by Beaker, and the two wrestle.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Whistles)

Beaker:
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPP!
(Pins him down)

Claudia:
BEAKER!

Bunsen:
Ooo, I vote for the tall one.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Fine, I'll go with the pink thing.

[Winslow Leach]

(Tony is pinned down)

Can't...breathe...get...off....auuuggghhhhhh...... !

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
(Does a smack down)

Claudia:
What the HE-

Bunsen:
NINE LADIES DANCING!

Beaker:
(Can't help but join in)
MEE MEE MEEE!
(Does another smack down)

Bunsen:
On the ninth day of Christmas...
I saw Beaker exterminating Tony.

Claudia:
(Calm)
(sways)

Beaker:
MEEMEMEMEM!

[Winslow Leach]

Oof! Gaah! Will ya stop with the nine ladies dancing thing, Bunsen ? ! You're not helping matters! Oooh!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
(Gives him a wedgie)
xD MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPP!

Bunsen:
Oh, should I sing the national anthem?

Claudia:
No.

Bunsen:
(Prys his assistant off of Tony)
Control yourself!

Beaker:
(Struggles for another swing)

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *eyes get huge* WHOA! I never thought I'd have to guys go barbarian about me! AWESOME! *to Sweetums* I love wrestling....

Sweetums: Should I break them up?

Alex: Naw, let em go for a bit. I wanna watch.

[Winslow Leach]

(Lefty suddenly appears behind Tony, and pries him off Beaker; Tony swings at the air, trying to get at Beaker)

[Winslow Leach]

Lemme go, lemme go! I'll beat him with my eyes closed! I'll beat him standing on one leg! I'll beat him with one paw tied behind my back!

(Tony struggles in Lefty's grasp, and kicks at the air)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Good job, Lefty!
How's your turtle?

Beaker:
(Relaxes, nods to Bunsen)
Meep.
(Retreats to his room)

Bunsen:
Beaker?
Are you all right, lad?

Claudia:
....Beakie?

Dr. Van Neuter:
Poor Beaker.

(A few minutes later)

Beaker:
(Flies out of the room in Tony's direction, tumbling him over in a roll)
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

[Winslow Leach]

As Tony and Beaker continue to fight/roll in the background, Lefty chats with Claudia.

Lefty: Hey, glad youse asked about my toitle. Yeah, he's doin' good. I haven't brought him into da dorms yet, on account a' he's appearin' in a Tootsie Pop commercial. Ya know, Mr. Toitle, how many licks does it take to get to da center of a Tootsie Pop? Dat's him! He's Mr. Toitle! So he should be here within a day or two. Of course, as his manager, I get 75 poicent of his earnings off da top!

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *watching the wrestling* Ooh.... that's gonna hurt in the morning.... ooh! Ooh! Get him! Get him!

Bean: Who're you rooting for?

Alex: Both.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
(Struggles to give Alex a rose)
Meee? meee...
(Feels himself dragged back into the battlefield)

Bunsen:
'Tis such bittersweet sorrow.
Love betrayed by a siren!

Dr. Van Neuter:
Since when did you become poetic?

Bunsen:
Who, me?
Ah, no...
I was being the narrator!
This has potential of becoming a film hit!

Claudia:
Oh, I've seen him before!
(Shifty eyes)
Would you like to buy an O?

XD

[Winslow Leach]

(still fighting with Beaker)

It hurts now, never mind the morning!

Get 'im off! I come in peace!

(Tony gives Beaker a Three Stooges eye-poke)

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
(Rolls off him)
Meee...
(Feigns death)

Claudia:
LOOK WHAT YOU DID!
(Holds Beaker)
You crushed him to death!

Beaker:
Bye bye meep!
("dies")

Bunsen:
Anyone know CPR?

Beaker:
MEEP?

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *speechless*

Sweetums: WHOA!

Alex: I can't decide if I'm happy that Tony won or I'm sad that Beaker died............ *kisses Tony on the cheek then hurries over to Beaker* Beaker?..........

[Winslow Leach]

Tony stands, out of breath, gasping for air.

Lefty: Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!

Tony: Quiet, you loony! He's not dead. Look! He's faking! He's getting better! He feels happy! He just wants attention. Jeepers.

[Winslow Leach]

Pssst...Alex...you're happy I won! There's your decision! And thank you for the kiss! I feel 100% BETTER!

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker:
(Mumbles under his breath)
(Returns to his "death bed")

Claudia:
It's ok, Beaker.
Bunsen will be your date!

Beaker:
(Eyes get even wider)
O_O MEEP?

Bunsen:
Very funny.

Beaker:
(Pats Alex on the head lightly, giving her the flower he meant to give)
Mee mee.
Mee mee meee...

Bunsen:
Oh...

[Erine81981]

Oscar: Wow! Now that was one dirty fight. Heh heh heh heh heh.....*slams the trashlid as he goes back heads down*

Big Bird: What is all this....*gasp!*....oh my gosh. Kyle! Kyle! Come quick!

What? What? What?

Big Bird: Look at what happend? *hand over beak*

What in the world have ya'll two been doing?

Oscar: *over hears me, pops up* They've been wrestling.

Big Bird: Are you two alright? *helps up Beaker*

[The Count]

Aw shoot... Missed out on a great wrestling match. This felt almost like... Well, last Christmas when Kermit was afraid about passing...
I miss Aunt Ru.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
(Sobs)
I MISS RU TOOOOOOOOOO!
;_;

Bunsen:
There, there!
There are many great-

Claudia:
But I want Ruuuuu!

Bunsen:
(Sighs)

[The Count]

*Deep sigh... Yeah... I want her back here too. Sure, it's cause of her fanfics... But I generally do enjoy having her here with us. Oh well, that's "life".
*Goes and shares some nutty butty cookies with Claudia and Van Neuter.

[Winslow Leach]

Lefty: So how'd it go?

Tony: She said yes!

Lefty: I told ya!

(Tony embraces Lefty)

Lefty (pushing him away) Hey, hey hey! Lay off! Ya gonna wrinkle da coat! Besides...save dat stuff fer yer goil!

[Erine81981]

Big Bird: Hey Snuffy. We're having your :sing: fav-orite. :sing:

Snuffy: Spaghetti and Meatballs?

Big Bird: Yep.

Snuffy: Oh boy! *jumps up and down making stuff fall to the ground*

Grover: *tries to get up but keeps falling down* Ow! I hurt my cute furry bottom.

Ok ok ok Snuffy. It's good to know your happy about what were having but could you not JUMP SO MUCH!

Snuffy: Sorry Kyle.

It's ok Snuffy. Sorry i yelled at you. *hugs Snuffy's neck*

Snuffy: It's ok Kyle. I get excited about lots of stuff.

I know. So is everyone ready?

Everyone: Yeah!

Good. Make your plate then.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
Mmmm, my love, where have you been?
(Sneaks a hand into the primrose cookie jar)

Bunsen:
Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Why don't you come over here and help me create wonders?

Claudia:
Ok. But I'd like just a nibble.

Dr. Van Neuter:
Those are my cookies, Claudia.
Lay off.

Claudia:
So?

Bunsen:
Do join me in my time of inspiration!
Don't waste your precious time with junk food!

Claudia:
Not until I fini-

Bunsen:
You've asked for it, dearie!
Lights please, Beaker!
(Clears throat)

Oompa Loompa doompadee doo
I've got a perfect puzzle for you...
(Hands her work involving Polymers and Coatings from science)

Claudia:
(Eyes dialate)
I-I-I can't....do THA-

Beaker:
Shhhh!

Bunsen:
Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me!

Dr. Van Neuter:
What do you get when you guzzle down (my) sweets?
Eating as much as an elephant eats?
What are you at getting terribly fat?
What do you think will come of that?



Claudia:
I don't like the look of it!
(Heads over to the door clumsily, knocking over the jar)

Bunsen:
(Blocks her way out with a cane)
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-da
If you're not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do!

Claudia:
(Pales)

Bunsen:
Let's do it again!

---

Claudia:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I WON'T SURRENDER THE COOKIE TO
THE LIKES OF A MAD MAN IN A CHEAP TEN DOLLAR SUIT!

YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! I AM LORD OF ALL COOKIES AND DELIGHTS! YOU MAY STEAL MY DUCK BUT YOU WILL NEVER CATCH ME ALIVE--OR THE COOKIE FOR THAT MATTER!

NOOOOOOOOO!
UGGGGGGGH!

Beaker:
(Shakes her roughly)
MEEP MEEP MEEP!
MEEEEEEP!

Claudia:
No! You cannot have my dress, Beaker!
I bought it from Sak...s.....
(Voice fades as she rises from her bed)

Beaker:
Meep...

Claudia:
Beaker...please don't sing!

Beaker:
(Blinks)
Mee?

Claudia:
So it was all a dream?

Bunsen:
My, my, Claudia!
Awake so late?
Well lucky you, I've just arrived from the sweet shop!
I bought you this delectable cookie--cost me quite a bit seeing as how it was your absolute favor-

Claudia:
NOOOOOOOO!

Bunsen:
Um, Claudia?

Claudia:
(Holds her teddy bear close to her, swaying to and fro)

On the goo-oo-ood ship Lollypop
It's a swee-ee-eet trip to a candy shop
Where bon-bons play
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay

Lemona-a-ade stands everywhere
'Cross the de-e-eck spans belly air
And there you are
Happy landing on a chocolate bar

See the sugar bowl do the Tootsie roll
With the big bad Bell's Fruit Cake
If you eat too much, ooh-ooh
You'll awake with a tummy ache....

Dr. Van Neuter:
Um, weirdo!

Bunsen:
Ditto.

Claudia:
On the goo-oo-ood ship Lollypop
It's a ni-i-ice trip into bed you'll hop
And dream away....

[Erine81981]

Cookie M: *brust through Claudia's wall* Did someone say cookies?

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *sitting in a chair, trying to keep her eyes open*

Sweetums: Alex, you should go to bed.

Alex: *shakes head* Nope... can't sleep. Won't sleep.... Don't want to sleep.....

Sweetums: How can you NOT sleep? I mean, you can't not sleep forever you know.

Alex: Where there's a will, there's a way.

Bean: You look soooo tired! I'll bet if I said the word "sleep" to you three times you'd fall asleep!

Alex: Nothing doing! I've gotta stay up and that's that!

Bean: *staring intently at her* SLEEP. SLEEEP. SLEEEEeeeeeeep. *falls asleep*

Alex: I'm not going to bed Sweetums. I won't risk it.

Sweetums: Would you at least take a blanket?

Alex: Well..... ok. *wraps up in the blanket*

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

Fifteen minutes later.......

Alex: *beginning to doze off* Wha-huh? I'm awake...... *head droops* oh. I'm good. It's ok. Sweetums, really. You can go to bed. But I'm not...... *falls asleep*

Sweetums: *begins to pick her up to put her to bed*

Alex: *seems to calm down as he picks her up*

Sweetums: *scratches his head* I don't get it..... *falls asleep in his overstuffed chair, holding her*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen:
Why, yes, there is.
Have a shot over at the jar in the kitchen.
Just not the one I have in my hand.

Claudia:
Swweeett tripp...lollipop....

[Erine81981]

Poor poor Alex. She's a fighter. Keep it up girl! *shuts the door* I'm going to head to be monsters, snuffleupagus and bird.

Big Bird: Good night Kyle.

Snuffy: Good night Kyle.

Grover: Good night Kyle.

Herry: Good night Kyle.

Bruce: Good night Kyle.

Murray: *eatting a mouthful of candy* Goosh nisht Cyle.

Good night. *yawns*

[Erine81981]

Bunsen:
Why, yes, there is.
Have a shot over at the jar in the kitchen.
Just not the one I have in my hand.

Claudia:
Swweeett tripp...lollipop....
Cookie M: Oh boy! Cowabunga! *runs over to the cookie jar* Me dreaming? *pich himself* Ow! Nope. Me not dreaming. *starts devouring the jar* Urp! Excuse me. *eyes get a little drozy* Me slee*yawns*eeepy. *rubs googly eyes* Can me sleep here?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Dr. Van Neuter:
Sure thing!
(Knocks Claudia off the bed)

Bunsen:
You'll be sleeping on her bed.
Don't you worry, she will be just fine!

Claudia:
(Sleeping)

Bunsen:
See?
Glad you enjoyed your snack by the way.

[The Count]

Aaaah! Waiting for new Muppetcast episode. *Wonders if everyone will get the announcement. *Smells the intoxicating roasting chocolate coming from the nearby ovens. You think Erin's making something delicious?
UD: One can only think so.
Mmm... Quite. Oh, let's watch some more chocolate competitions on Food Network's special weekend.
*Tunes in as the television fizzles into lighted life.

[Erine81981]

I'll be right back guys. I have to go ask some beautiful ladies to the awards this coming weekend. *zips off out the door* Ok first. *knocks on Kathy's door* Hello there Kathy. How are you feelings? I understand. Now since Alex has been asked already i'm going to ask for you to be my date to the awards this weekend. So would you go with me? Oh and i'll also be asking someone else too. So just let me know. Talk to you later.

*zips off again* Ok now to the other one. *knocks on Claudia's door* Hey Bunsan. Hows things going in the lab? *notices Beaker on the couch with an ice pack on his head* Hey Beaker. Sorry about the wrestling thing. Hope you get to feeling better. *clicks tounge over at Dr. Neuter* Hey! ;) Oh yea. Almost forgot why i came here. Is Claudia here? She is? Good. I need to ask her something. Hi Claudia. Hows it been with living with these weird scientist? Yea i understand. So i was going to ask Alex to go to the awards before she got asked but i figured since you haven't been asked i would ask you. So would you like to come with me and Kathy to the awards this weekend? I also asked her too.
