Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: You're just jealous because my singing voice is prettier than your's!

Ailie: Because that has heaps in common with what they're talking about... XP

Zoot: It is!

Chamberlain: I like to watch Malcom in the Middle after a killing. O_O I mean...um...mmm?

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: I'm not jealous of anything...

Caitlyn: ... ignoring Sir Creeps-a-lot *points at Chamberlain* and Jesse 'n Joey *points at Zoot and Lips*, I'm serious. Alex might've gone on a rampage.

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Are too. I'm a knockout! XP

Ailie: Rampages are fun! =D

Dr. Teeth: I'm a vampire... O_o

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Sure you are...

Caitlyn: I meant a killing -- murderous, even -- rampage.

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: I am!

Dr. Teeth: I am!

Zoot: Liar... XP

Dr. Teeth: Skeptic. =P

Ailie: O_O Fun.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *trying to follow everyone* ... Huh?

Lips: What are you talking about, Dr. Teeth?

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: XP Yo mom--

Chamberlain: *covers his mouth* He thinks he's a vampire. Silly musicians...some of that stuff can really take a toll on your mind...

Ailie: Vampire? <333 Ooh...as long as it's not that mushy Twilight kind.

Dr. Teeth: Nosh... =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: I can easily see Zoot as the Phantom of the Opera...

Lips: What made you say that?

Caitlyn: Besides the stuff that's been going on, we watched part of "The Phantom of the Opera" today in choir.

Lips: Ah. ... O_o

[Beakerfan]

Suddenly Alex leaps out and snatches Zoot in her mouth, running off into the shadows......

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Oddly, I can as well. XD I can see him as Frank from Rocky Horror too. Bwahahaha...

Zoot: I told you never to bring up that night again! O_O AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips & Caitlyn: *scream*

Lips: *jumps into my arms*

Caitlyn: *in a scared tone* Okay, I think that was Alex...

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: O_O What the h--we should go after them!

Ailie: Should we? XP

[Beakerfan]

Sweetums: *comes running* I've got the silver!

Floyd: *following* I've got the wolfsbane!

Janice: ZOOOOOOOOT!

Animal: SCOOBEE-DOO-BEE-DOO!

[The Count]

Huh? What happened to the Mystery Inc. gang? Think I'll just go and read me some fanfic updates.

BTW: If anybody's interested... For my Counting Castle, I have the following monstrifications:
Dr. Teeth as the Phantom of the Opera.
Floyd Pepper as the Magic 8 Ball.
Animal as the Yowlly Yahoo.
Zoot as the Mummy.
Janice as the Banshee.
Lips as either the Candyman or Mardi Gras Haunter.
Each one has their instruments, and there are more members in the band... But you'll find out as I post along.

*Goes to try to get Claudia out of her room. *Finds note she's out of order.

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: *goes back to the room to touch Zoot's stuff while he's gone* >=D

Ailie: Come on, you guys! *drags them into the same shadows Alex disappeared into*

Dr. Teeth: Lips as the Candyman! XD

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: -_-; Shut up.

Caitlyn: *is dragged along* ... Lips? You can get down now.

Lips: Oh, yeah. I forgot.

Caitlyn: *puts Lips on the ground*

Lips: *back on his own two feet* Sorry.

Caitlyn: I'ts okay.

Marvin: *to Chamberlain* What is going on?

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: *mockingly* Shaddup. =P

Chamberlain: Who cares? Let's go raid Zoot's room.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Both of you, shut up.

Marvin: All-right! And now, the Muppaphones!

*eight Muppaphones come filing in, one after the other*

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: Yesh, ma'am. =P

Chamberlain: *smirks at the little fuzzballs* Snacks?

[Beakerfan]

Bean: *eyes the Muppaphones* Aww! *glances around, then picks one up and cuddles it*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Don't have to be like that, you know.

Caitlyn: I do not care. Let's just find Zoot.

Marvin: Are you daft? The Muppahpones aren't for eating, they are for striking!

MP #1: O_O; Hoo, boy...

MP #2: *is cuddled by Bean*

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: *growls at Bean* Who said you could come, fleabag?

Ailie: *nudges the keyboardist* Yeah.

Dr. Teeth: Sah-ree. =P

[Beakerfan]

Bean: I can do what ever I want because I'm so cute! *hugs Chamberlain*

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: IT BURNSSSZZZ! *pulls Bean off and flings him across the room*

[Beakerfan]

Bean: OOF! *hits the wall and is unconcious*

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: Mmm... *picks him up and puts him on the kitchen counter for later*

Ailie: *calling* Zoot!

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *calling* Zoot!

Lips: *calling* Where are you, buddy?

Marvin: *Observes this* Let his be a warning for you: if you do not act right, you will end up as my friend's dinner!

Muppaphones: O_O!

[Beakerfan]

Outside, Alex drops Zoot in a large lake of Kool-Aide, then prowls away......

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: ACK! O_O *spluttercough* *crawls out of the lake* Well, that's a relief-ish...

[Beakerfan]

Alex: AWWWOOooooooOOOOOOO! *begins to stalk Zoot*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: I hate my life. >_> *jumps back in the lake*

[Winslow Leach]

Lefty raps on the door; Tony opens it.

Tony: What's the password?

Lefty: Shaddap!

Tony: What's up?

Lefty: Dere ain't no doggie out 'ere. Now kin I come back inside?

Tony: No! You must stand guard. Think of yourself as the guardian of the gate in "The Wizard of Oz."

Lefty: Dat green guy?

Tony: Yeah.

Lefty: Green guy! Heh. Whoever taught dat up? Didja ever see anyting as ridiculous as a green guy before?

Tony is about to say something, then decides it wouldn't be wise.

Tony: Just get back out there!

Lefty: Kin I at least have a stake?

Tony: She's a wolf. Not a vampire.

Lefty: No, I mean a steak! I'm hungry!

Tony tosses a bag of gummi worms into the hall; Lefty scurries after it. Tony slams the door.

Lefty: 'Ey! Youse better not be doin' anytin' funny wit Taffy in dere! 'Cause she's not dat kind of goil!

[Winslow Leach]

Newsie: Hey Tommy, how long is this...thing gonna stay on my bed? She gives me the creeps.

Tony: Yeah, she's kinda spooky-looking.

Newsie: I bet she resembles Lefty's mother, heh heh!

Tony: Why?

Newsie: 'Cause you said she was spooky-looking!

Tony: Oh. Good one! Well...he's not here now. Reclaim your territory, young Skywalker. If you don't want her in your bed, throw her on the floor!

Newsie: No way! I'm not touching that thing! Who knows where it came from?

Tony: You're right. It's probably not sanitary. We'd better not touch it. Hey Harry! Wanna get rid of this dummy here?

Crazy Harry nods happily, and grabs Newsie forcefully, heading towards the window.

Newsie: Ack! Bad choice of words, Tommy! Bad choice of words!

Tony: Harry, no! I meant the other dummy! The mannequin over here!

Harry: Aw, but I'd rather get rid of this one! She's pretty!

Tony: My life is a Three Stooges short...

[The Count]

*Outside... ALLEEEEXXX! DIIINNEEEEEEERR!
*Sets out batch of spicy Kansas City buffalo wings, oven fries, and moccha-flavored wolf potion milkshake in her drinking cup/bowls.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *to Lips* Where could he be?

Lips: *shrugs* I dunno.

[Beakerfan]

Alex: *ears perk up* Hmmm? *sniffs the air* AAAAWwwoooooOOOO! *runs to the food and eats it, happily*

[Winslow Leach]

Tony, Newsie and Harry are still contemplating on what to do with the mannequin.

Newsie: For the last time, no! I am not touching that vile thing!

Tony: Harry?

Harry shakes his head "no."

Tony: Wow. If Crazy Harry doesn't wanna touch it, there must be something wrong!

Lefty knocks.

Lefty (from outside) 'Ey! What are youse crum-bums doin' in dere? Yer not touchin' Taffy, are you?

Tony: No! Definitely not! Most certainly not!

Lefty: I taught I hoid a slap! Yer not gettin' fresh wit her, are ya?

Tony: Lefty, I...we...can assure you none of us have laid a hand on her!

Lefty: Okay. Kin I have some Cheez-Whiz?

Tony: I don't think we have any--

Lefty: Under my hammock. I keep a stash.

Tony goes into Lefty's closet, and takes a can of Cheez-Whiz from under his hammock.

Tony: I'll be dipped!

Lefty: Ya got it?

Tony: Yeah. You want any crackers or anything to go with--

Lefty: Nah! I eat it right outta da can!

Tony looks at the others and shrugs; he opens the door just enough to hand Lefty the can, then slams it shut again.

Lefty: Er...tanks...if youse hear any screamin', followed by shreddin' and clawin', don't worry, you don't hafta open da door. It'll be just me bein' torn to pieces!

Tony: Will do! Thanks for the heads up!

Newsie: Now what are we gonna do about this mannequin?

Tony: You haven't figured anything out yet?

Newsie: As the tree said to the lumberjack, I'm stumped!

Tony: And we can't afford to have another explosion in here...this month, anyway. Harry's used up his quotia. One more, and we're on probation.

Newsie: You think it's worth it?

Tony, Newsie and Harry look at the dead-eyed mannequin.

Tony: I so want to say yes!

Newsie: Me too!

Tony: Harry?

Harry: No! She is beauty-ful!

Tony: You think she's beautiful, but you won't touch her?

Harry nods "yes."

Tony: Well, there's only one thing to do in a situation like this...

Newsie: Which is?

Beat. Tony immediately begins bouncing frantically around the room like Tigger, singing "The Merry Go Round Broke Down," the theme to Looney Tunes.

[The Count]

*Meanwhile... What Alex-wolf doesn't know is that there was a sedative mixed in her usual wolf potion. So, she's sleeping for the moment, transformed back into her normal self. *Calls Sweetums to pick up his dormie, bound her in silver again and all that jazz.

Now then... What can we do to cheer up that Claudia o' mine...
Count and UD are thinking hard, they too are affected by the sudden loss of their sister in haunts.
:sad: :concern: :eek:

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: I think... we looked... for long enough. *sits down* So, where is he?

Lips: If we knew, we wouldn't be looking for him...

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *sneaks back to his dorm, soaked from the lake* -_- *goes into his room to find it looking like a tornado hit* What the--Chamberlain! O_O

Chamberlain: Eh heh...I'll fix it in the morning.

Zoot: >_> *changes quickly and flops onto his bed, pulling his sax closer*

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: If I was Zoot, where would I be?

Lips: I would love to hear the answer...

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: *poking his head out* He's back in here. It's a shame, really...

Zoot: *lying facedown on his pillow* No autographs right now...

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: You mean after all that searching, you wait until right now to tell us that Zoot is back?

Marvin: Of course! He just came back!

Caitlyn: *sighs*

Lips: You okay?

Caitlyn: Never better, Shaggy...

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: I'm a bit of a procrastinator... XP

Zoot: Yeah, you can leave my room now, turkey. =/

Chamberlain: Well, excuuuuse meh, your highness! =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *takes glasses off* So what now?

Lips: I don't know.

Caitlyn: Ailie, Doc, any ideas?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Er, I'm not sure...I gotta go to bed soon, though. School...bleh... >_<

Dr. Teeth: *holding his keyboard close* Zzzzz...cheesecake...

Zoot: *poking his head out of his room* Go away, Lips. =P I don't want to fall asleep hearing your voice.

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Come on, let's go to sleep. *escorts me out of dorm 15*

Caitlyn: *head throbbing* But I'm not sleepy.

Lips: *stops* ... What?

Caitlyn: I'm not sleepy.

Lips: ... did you drink Dr. Pepper a while ago?

Caitlyn: Why?

Lips: *sighs* Great. Now it's going to take hours to get her to sleep.

Caitlyn: Can we watch a movie? Or play a game? Or watch a movie? Or draw? Or watch a movie?

Lips: *sits her down in a chair in the common room* Go to sleep.

Caitlyn: Why?

Lips: You have that golf thing tomorrow, right?

Caitlyn: Yes.

Lips: Well, you gotta get sleep to be ready for it.

Caitlyn: ... I'll wait for the caffine to wear off. *drinks flavored bottled water*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *jaw unhinges as Lips leaves without a comeback* >=) *cackles in a high pitch as he disappears back into his room*

Chamberlain: Somebody's been hidden away for too long. =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Or we could all dress up in costumes.

Lips: Just go to sleep!

Caitlyn: Or we could dance! Yeah! I have the original soundtrack for "Grease" for my record player! We can dance to "You're the One that I Want", "Born to Hand Jive", "We Go Together", and all the rest of them!

Lips: That's it, I'm going to see to it that you actually visit the Fifties in your lifetime. *leaves for room*

Caitlyn: And we could re-enact the movie! I call the role of Jan!

[Beakerfan]

Janice: *suddenly appears next to Zoot* Hi Babe! Like, I'm so glad you're safe! *kisses the top of his head*

Floyd: *to Caitlyn and Lips* Like, you're lucky Alex is asleep right now.... she'd go NUTS if she heard talk about a Grease party. Or a dance party.... or any kind of party involving groovy music, for that matter heh heh.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: "Grease" is one of my all-time favorite movies! I've been watching it ever since I was a little girl...

Lips: 0_0! But--

Caitlyn: I loved the music. Now I appreciate the whole movie. And the play. I was in a version of it at school. I was a background character, but I looked like I was the real thing. Too bad I didn't get the part of Jan, though. I look the part. I know the part.

Lips: You kind of act the part.

Caitlyn: I know! *starts to sing the song from the Beaver Toothpaste commercial in the movie*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *wakes up* Aw Janice, you don't have to worry about me... *kisses her back on the lips*

Chamberlain: Oh, barf. =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: You sholdn't have had that Dr. Pepper last night.

Caitlyn: I know. Now, leave me alone, I want to go back to sleep.

Lips: Says the girl who wanted to have a Grease party last night.

Caitlyn: Shut up. *throws a throw pillow at Lips*

Marvin: *is hit by the pillow instead* Quiet, all of you! A great, talented performer needs beauty sleep!

Caitlyn & Lips: Shut up!

[redBoobergurl]

*Beth runs in and glomps Red*
Red: Oof, what was that for?
Beth: I wanted to give you a hug. *sees Mokey and runs to her and does the same*
Mokey: My, you're affectionate today
Beth: You guys should read the latest Fraggle story in the library, that's all I gotta say. It's about both of you and yeah, you just needed hugs, trust me.
Red: Did you write it? You're usually the one who tortures us in stories
Beth: Nope, not this time, but a very talented author did, just go check it out.

[The Count]

Hi Beth... BTW: Methinks your little penguin friend got a gift the other day, you need to claim it, if you want to claim it that is. No pressure.
Also... Wanted to ask you... My next castle addition is that storm cloud girl I had saved, she's sort of a flashy streaker if you know what I mean. Thought Mokey would be a good match for the role, but I'm not sure now. If you think it should be more of a Whatnot/AM instead, LMK ASAP.
Thanks. BTW What's the Red smilie here anyway?
:search:

[Ruahnna]

The door to apartment 20 opens and closes and a bewildered green figure and a baffled fuzzy brown one are left staring around the apartment with consternation. It looks a little like Dorothy's house after the tornado had picked it up and whisked it around for a bit.
Kermit: Um, Ru? Are you in here, Ru?
Fozzie: (whispering) Do you think she's lost?
Kermit: (whispering back) Um, no--I don't think so.
Fozzie: (whispering) Why are we whispering?
Kermit: (whispering) I was whispering because you were--(speaking in normal voice) Oh for sweet pity's sake, Fozzie--will you stop it and help me find Ru in all this stuff.
(Suddenly, both of them stop and sniff the air. They exchange knowing looks.)
Fozzie: I smell butterscotch! She must be cooking!
Kermit: Well, we know it isn't Piggy.
Piggy: (coming in from her room) What?
Kermit: (hastily) I said, um, where's Piggy? We're also looking for Ruahnna.
Piggy: (dismissively) Oh--she's in the kitchen.
Kermit: (picking his way through the mess) Um, what's going on here, Piggy? Why does the, um, room look like this?
(Piggy looks around the room and shrugs. She's seen worse messes in her own room.)
Piggy: She's cooking.
Kermit: Oh, right, but I don't--
Piggy: And writing.
Kermit: Yes, but--
Piggy: And sewing.
Kermit: Oh, yes, I can see the--
Piggy: And making backdrops for the--
Kermit: Got it. Got it, Piggy. What brought on this, um, flurry of activity? Is everything okay?
Piggy: Well, she was pretty upset about her Grandmother passing, but I think she's doing better now. She's taking up her old hobbies.
Kermit: So I see. All at the same time, I gather.
Fozzie: (coming back from the direction of the kitchen) So I smell. C'mon--I've almost cleared a path to the kitchen.
(The trio eventually makes their way around the piles of sewing, the cardboard back-drops, the stacks of magazines that she's is going to take to recycling, the plants she has in pots ready to go to the garden, and a box of what appear to be old clothes and costumes to reach the kitchen. It smells great.)
Kermit: Hi ho, Ru--whacha doing?
Ru: (turning around) Oh! I'm making Amish butterscotch bread. You're just in time to have some fresh from the oven. Sit...um, clear a space--here, just move those magazines and sales flyers over and sit down at the table.
Kermit: Want me to pour the iced tea?
Ru: You're a doll. That would be great.
Kermit: (muttering) Actually, I'm a frog.
Fozzie: (whispering to Kermit) I didn't know Ru was Amish.
Kermit: (whispering) She's not. Arghh! (speaking in a normal voice) She's not Amish, Fozzie. She's making Amish bread.
Fozzie: Can you--how do you know what religion it is? What about rye bread? What religion is--
Kermit: (exasperated) Fozzie--will you STOP that.
(Eventually everyone is seated around the table munching hot, sweet bread and drinking ice tea.)
Fozzie: I'm sorry about your Grandmother, Ru. I guess you're still sad.
Ru: Yeah. I am sad. I'm going to miss her a lot. But I feel better now--I feel like getting back into my projects again.
Kermit: So I see. I'm glad you're feeling better. Anything we can do to help?
Ru: Well, actually, yes. I have some things that I need to send to recycling--that blue tub by the door. And I have some clothes and costumes that I was going to donate to the shelter and to the drama department, respectively.
Kermit: I could take the recylcing for you.
Fozzie: I could take the clothes to the shelter.
Piggy: I could get Bean Bunny to carry the costumes to the drama department.
Kermit: Piggy!
Piggy: What? I'll make Beauregard help him.
Ru: Thanks guys. You know, sometimes the best cure for being blue is to do something for someone else.
Piggy: What an interesting idea.
Ru: My Grandmother used to do all sorts of volunteer work. When I do things like this, it makes me feel like I'm doing something that she would approve of.
Kermit: Well, that's swell. Say--how about we come back after delivering these things and help you finish up your backdrops? Many hands, er--flippers and paws and stuff--make light work.
Piggy: And we can help you finish the bread.
Ru: (laughing) Thanks, Piggy, but I'm already done baking it.
Piggy: I know.
(Kermit looked up and tries not to comment, but Ru catches his eye and she smiles.)
Ru: While you're doing that, I'll clean up around here a little--put my sewing stuff away and tidy up. THen we'll finish painting the backdrops and take them over to the drama department.
Fozzie: (saluting) Sounds like a plan!
Piggy: Sounds like work.
(This time Kermit gives her a looks and she hastily amends her statment.)
Piggy: Like work that Moi would be happy to help with.
Kermit: That's my girl. Wanna walk with me, Piggy?
Piggy: Of course, Mon Capitan.
Kermit: (walking out the door) You said she was writing, too. What does she write about, anyway?
(Piggy turns and looks at Ru over her shoulder and they smile at each other.)
Piggy: Oh, you know. Just stories.
Fozzie: Like fairy tales? I like the ones that end happily ever after.
(The door shuts behind them and Ru is left alone.)
Ru: Me too, Fozzie. That's the best kind.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth *calls Ed* Hey sure, Mokey sounds good for that haunter, I say go for it.

Oh and the Red smilie is here :excited: She is for excited.

[The Count]

*On the phone... Well, if you rully think so. Huh, I thought :excited: was Gonzo.

[redBoobergurl]

Nope this one is Gonzo :concern:

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: I'm bored. -_- Hey, d'you guys wanna go for a ride or something?

Dr. Teeth: Sure, baby!

Zoot: Okay.

Chamberlain: In what? O_O

5 seconds later they're standing in front of the EM bus.

Chamberlain: *mocking the Stones song* I see this blinding vehicle...and I want to paint it black...

Ailie: Don't even think about it. =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: ... not even thirty minutes home from school, and they desert me.

Lips: You mean Ailie and them? They were going to go for a ride, last I heard.

Caitlyn: Oh. *examines hamster bite* I think it's bleeding a little bit...

Lips: What is?

Caitlyn: This bite that Janice gave me.

Lips: O_O

Caitlyn: As in my little brother's hamster.

Lips: Oh...

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: We didn't desert you! O_O We haven't even left yet. Hop on!

Chamberlain: >_> *puts on sunglasses to hide his eyes from the colorfulness*

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: ... oh. *hops on, dragging Lips and Marvin (and the Muppaphones) along with her*

Lips: Of course, it was a few minutes ago when I heard it...

Marvin: What is the meaning of this?

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Obviously, Lips...news goes to important people first. =/

Dr. Teeth: Zoot?

Zoot: Yeah?

Dr. Teeth: Go to sleep. XP

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Actually, I kind of figured that you guys were going somewhere.

Caitlyn: How?

Lips: Because it took them five seconds to get to the parking lot.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Nah, nowhere really...there wasn't much else to do. So, how's it going?

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Things are going well. We're having a Fun Day at school on Friday.

Lips: For the whole e--

Caitlyn: I plan to bring "The Muppet Movie" to school with me. And, we watched more of "The Phantom of the Opera" today in choir.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: That sounds awesome! =D I remember we watched MCC before winter break in middle school once. Good times. All my school is doing on Friday is having a pep rally. *monotonous voice* Yay... -_-

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: The only reason that I attend pep rallys and football games is that I'm in the band.

Lips: Is that so?

Caitlyn: Yes.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Cool! =) I used to be in it in middle school but I just play outside of school now. What d'you play, Caitlyn?

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Well... when we went to contest, I was the only one to represent my section.

Lips: What happened to the others?

Caitlyn: Didn't know the music, and the only other one temporarily switched instruments because there were no tuba players at the time.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Tubas are fun. =)

Chamberlain: *starts to take his sunglasses off as it gets darker*

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: If it weren't for the braces I had back then, I would be playing clarinet.

Lips: But you ended up playing baritone instead.

Caitlyn: How'd you know?

Lips: You look like a clarinet- or baritone-type person.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: I used to play clarinet! The horror... O_O

Zoot: You're telling me. =P

Chamberlain: *listening to old screechy recordings of Ailie on his walkman* This is my kinda jam!

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Well, some of us are musically gifted in one area, adn some of us don't have any musical talent. *points to Chambrlain* Take Birdbrain, for instance.

Lips: *trying hard not to laugh*

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: Excuse me? *pulls off his headphones* I happen to be the substitute guitarist/bass man whenever the other EM members aren't around! >_> Just ask the others. *holds up his contract which has a bunch of random scribbles and the beginning draft of an explict rap song*

Dr. Teeth: O_O That's not mine...

Zoot: Why is my grocery list on the back? =P

[Winslow Leach]

Newsie enters the room sadly. His hair is mussed; his glasses are broken, half-on, half-off his face; his clothes are torn.

Newsie (sings) Why am I such a misfit...?

Tony: Jeez, Newsie...what happened?

Newsie: On my way home from the station tonight, I was attacked by a bunch of hooligans!

Tony: Why?

Newsie: For no reason at all! They were loitering in front of the building, and I asked them politely if they would move on, that they were blocking the entrance. I told them about the nice park down the street, where they could loiter till the cows come home...

Tony: And that's why they beat you up?

Newsie: Yes. Well...no. I also asked one of them if his mother knew he went out in public wearing ripped dungarees and filthy sneakers. The next thing I know, I'm being tossed around like a common puppet!

Tony: How many were there?

Newsie: Let's see...one, two...eleven...

Tony: Eleven?

Newsie: At least.

Tony: Whoa.

Newsie: From this point on, you're gonna see a new Newsie! A Newsie who won't back down! A Newsie who will look a hooligan right in the eye, and tell him what I think about his dirty dungarees! A Newsie who isn't gonna take anything from anybody anymore!

Newsie dances, and starts to sing.

Newsie

Uh huh, this is my...doodie
All the girls stomp their feet like this!

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
Because I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl!

Ooh, ooh, this my...doodie, this my doodie!

I heard you were talking, er, bad stuff
And I didn't think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up
So I'm ready to attack (hisses like a cat) gonna lead the pack
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out
That's right, put your pom-poms down, getting everybody fired up!

So that's right dude, meet me at the bleachers
No principals, no student teachers
Both of us want to be the winner, but there can only be one
So I'm gonna fight, gonna give it my all
Gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you
That's right, I'm the last one standing, another one bites the dust!

Newsie raises his arms in triumph.

Lefty emerges from his closet, wielding a rubber chicken. He approaches Newsie. Newsie covers his head. Lefty hits Newsie in the stomach with the chicken. As Newsie grabs his stomach in pain, Lefty bonks him over the head.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *throws a brick at Newsie* Gwen does not approve! O_O *climbs back on the bus*

[Winslow Leach]

Ailie: *throws a brick at Newsie* Gwen does not approve! O_O *climbs back on the bus*

Lefty: 'Ey...exsqueeze me, dearie, but I believe I took care of Newsie quite sufficiantly, thank youse very much! No need ta further humiliate da poor sap by hurlin' a brick at him!

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: I felt I owed to Gwen... =P I'll do what I want. *snaps 4 times*

[Winslow Leach]

Ailie: I felt I owed to Gwen... =P I'll do what I want. *snaps 4 times*

Lefty: Oh, so youse wanna fight now, eh?

Lefty assumes the position of a 19th-century boxer.

Lefty: Bring it on!

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Right... =P *jerks her head back towards the bus and whistles* Here, boy!

Dr. Teeth: *strides out all ghettolike and stands beside Ailie* =P

Ailie: *strokes him* <3

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Have fun watching the match, you three. *gets on laptop*

Lips: Okay...

Marvin: *throws some Muppaphones into the (imaginary) ring* Defend your country!

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: *waits for Lefty to run away crying*

Zoot: *tosses a broken reed at Lips*

[Winslow Leach]

Lefty freezes at the sight of Dr. Teeth; he begins to violently tremble.

Lefty: Er...I tink I left my cookies in da oven too long! Dere gonna boyn if I don't get 'em out!

Lefty runs back into the dorm.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Right.

*the Muppaphones come running back to the bus*

Marvin: Don't just stand there! Fight!

Lips: *is hit by the reed* *turns around to Zoot* What is with you, man?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Ooh...cookies...you better share them. =P Come on, hon. You've done well.

Dr. Teeth: *ghetto strides back onto the bus and trips over the stairs* X_X I'm okay...

Ailie: NOBODY SAW THAT! *cuddles him* XP

Zoot: I felt like it. =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *goes back to looking on YouTube for Muppet videos*

Marvin: *goes back to commanding Muppaphones*

Lips: Do you always feel like that?

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Maybe...

Dr. Teeth: A'ight, stop treatin' Lips like crud, Zoot. =P

Zoot: Yesh, master. O_O

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... Wow.

Caitlyn: *looks up from laptop* Zoot, I have a question for you. This will only take a minute.

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: What? =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *shows Zoot a video of him and Rowlf ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzT6w09J0Pk )* Did you ever find out why smoke was coming out of your saxaphone?

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Er...well...4-20's my birthday... O_O

Ailie: I want 10 bucks worth of whatever that was. =P

Chamberlain: What are you guys talking about?

Ailie: Substances...like...um...cheese. O_o

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: So, you still haven't figured it out yet?

Lips: Nice song. Wonder why that happened, though...

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: I can't even figure out what I was doing two seconds ago, man. *rests his head against the window* -_-

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *has switched to a different video and is listening to it with headphones on* *chuclkes* So you two were trying to upstage each other in that number? Is that what this whole rivalry thing is about? XD

Lips: Let me see! *tries to look and listen*

Caitlyn: No! *covers up screen*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: What? Let me see that! O_O

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *still covering the screen* My laptop!

Lips: *still trying to look* We will talk about your technology dependency after you show us the video!

Caitlyn: I can't!

Lips: Why?

Caitlyn: It already ended.

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *crosses his arms* Whatever...it probably didn't capture my good side... *glances at his reflection*

Chamberlain: Which is?

Zoot: Shaddup. >_>

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Don't worry, I'll play it again.

Lips: You will?

Caitlyn: Yup. *to Ailie* Want to watch it with me? It's better if you wear the headphones and listen.

Lips: O_o What is this, a private screening?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *nods* Definitely. *puts them on*

Dr. Teeth: Wha--? Private screening? O_o *looks over*

Chamberlain: *pulls him back* Get your mind out of the gutter. =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: I wonder what the video actually is.

Caitlyn: *pushes play to the following video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZI8xgMiVyY&feature=related )* Of course, it's just a theory...

[The Count]

... Those'd better be the only substances you're talking about. *Sighs... Why must I be condemned to this torture known as school writing?

[Winslow Leach]

Tony: Come on, Newsie, no one cares!

Newsie (from inside Lefty's closet) When you turn the lights out!

Tony (sighs) Your bed's all ready. Biff and Sully got rid of the mannequin.

Lefty: Humph!

Newsie: Just turn out the lights, and I'll hop into bed.

Tony: We haven't got all night. Lefty wants to go to bed.

Lefty: Riiiiiiiiiiiiight! Yer lucky I let youse use my closet ta change. Now git out!

Tony: What happened to his p.j.'s again?

Lefty: I used 'em ta wash da big man's car. I couldn't find any rags around, so I used his jammies.

Tony: Okay, Newsie...I'm turning the lights out...

Tony flicks the light switch off. The room is in darkness.

As soon as Newsie emerges from the closet, a mega-bright light shines on him, held by Lefty in one hand; in the other is a video camera.

Newsie is wearing a nightgown, and freezes in his tracks.

Newsie: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Lefty: Heh heh! TMZ is gonna gimme five big ones for dis tape!

Tony: Newsie, I swear I didn't know he was going to do anything. Although I should have suspected something when he found out that Ailie lent you one of her nightgowns.

Tony hits Lefty upside the head.

Lefty: Ow! What was dat fer?

Tony: For being Lefty...

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: You're right, Caitlyn... O_O *glances over at Zoot curiously*

Zoot: >_> *glares back at them*

Ailie: *makes a face at Newsie* Yeah, I don't need that one back... =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Yeah... *looks at Lips in the same fashion*

Lips: What'd I do? O_o

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Everything! >_> You ruined me, you showoff! *slaps Lips and goes back to his dorm*

Chamberlain: OWNED!

Dr. Teeth: Zoot! O_O I dunno what's gotten into him...I'm sorry about that, Lips. =/

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: It's okay, Doc... *to self* I swear, I was only playing what the music said to play in that one number!

Caitlyn: Want to investigate this further, Ailie?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: I dunno...I'd question Zoot but I doesn't want to get slapped. O_o

Chamberlain: Don't be such a chicken. *follows the sax player to his room* *reappears with his guitar slammed into his head, looking as though he's wearing an odd hat* Yeah...forget about it. X_X

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: I think only one person can get thorugh to him right now.

Lips: And?

Caitlyn: And I don't know whether Janice is available to talk to Zoot right now or not.

Lips: That still doesn't answer the question: Why does he hate me?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: I really don't know, Lips. Maybe he's just not gotten enough sleep or his happy pills ran out or something. However, if he picks on you again, I've got some blackmail that might come in handy. ;) *pulls out a snapshot of Zoot applying some of her lipstick in the mirror* Just whip this out the next time he decides to be a bully and threaten him that you'll give it to Lefty the Salesman who will blow it up and hang posters of it all around the dorms. It shouldn't fail--just keep it in a safe place.

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *takes the photo* Okay...

Caitlyn: But I don't like blackmailing... *ponders something* Doc, what happened during the rehersal of "Boogie at the Barnyard"?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: It's the only way it'll get him to stop, though. Ooh, and be sure to say, "That's not really your, color..." XP

Dr. Teeth: *struggling a bit to remember* Um...er...stuff...O_o

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: I'm still not so sure...

Caitlyn: Anything between Zoot and Lips during rehersals?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Don't be so shy, Lips. Get even. =P

Dr. Teeth: *shrug* I guess I wasn't payin' attention... *looks over Ailie's shoulder to see himself on the song* Ooh, and who's that extremely handsome musician?

Ailie: Floyd?

Dr. Teeth: What? *cries*

Ailie: Kidding. =P ...It's Lips.

Dr. Teeth: ;_;

Ailie: *sighs* And you...

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: *sitting with arm around Camilla* Oh, Camilla, this was our first date...
Camilla: *nuzzles up against Gonzo's chest* Brawk baw...
Ryan: *shakes head* I like the Leslie Uggams episode because of Big Bird.
Gonzo: *wide eyes* Me too! Ha ha!
Camilla: Brawk bawk! *pecks Gonzo*
Gonzo: Oops... sorry.
Ryan: *shakes head* Shh, trying to watch.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *quietly, to self:* Lips does kind of look cute in that video...

Lips: Hmm?

Caitlyn: Nevermind...

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Aw... <3 *whispers to Caitlyn* I think he likes you...that's my theory on why he's still not a big talker. You should give it a shot. =) *is a weirdo but thinks it would be pretty cute* I'm gonna go to bed now. The saga continues tomorrow. ;) *she and Dr. Teeth go back to their dorm*

Dr. Teeth: *recovered* 'Night guys. =)

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *blushes*

Lips: What'd she say?

Caitlyn: Huh? *looks at Lips* ... Oh, something about... bananas.

Lips: Oh...

Caitlyn: ... *Ahem* Well, our other roomate is already gone back to the room. Do you think we should join him?

Lips: Why not?

Caitlyn: Great. *grabs laptop*

Caitlyn & Lips: *walk back to their dorm together*

[The Count]

*Frustratedly, Ed shelves the dang essay to work on tomorrow when he can stop/pause the DVD to properly add all the quotes and do maybe a better job at it. Sooooo doon't wanna write... But I have to. But I don't wannaaaa... *Slumps in disgust, will honestly *try* to do this tomorrow, if he can tear himself away from lazyish procrastinator personality.
:sleep: :boo:

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(gang is watching Lynn Redgrave episode)

Storyteller: (staring at Scooter) "Fast and looth?"
Scooter: Look, I just play that stuff; I don't write it.
Nora: But you look great in Lincoln green...
Erin: And who knew cavorting was such serious business?
Beige: Ah, what does the bear know about cavorting?
Storyteller: A heck of a lot more than you do.
Beige: Hey, look, in Fraggle Cave we...
Nora: Guys, knock it off, it's coming up on the archery contest.
Scooter: Oh yeah..."They were packed in like sardines...which might explain the smell."
Erin: Someone shoulda warned Lewis Kazagger that this job would be a headache.

[The Count]

OK... Feeling a bit better at how the restructured writ's turning out. Now I have to work on the reasoning as to why a higher court would approve of Cotterpin's defense allegations.

*:batty: leaves to go to Hooper's for some moccha milkshake ingredients.
Be back in 1, no 2, no3 ah-ha-ha!

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *plops down on her bed*

Lips: What's wrong?

Caitlyn: The concert for the 5th graders went well.

Lips: I heard you. It was very nice.

Caitlyn: I will never disect a frog for as long as I'll live.

Lips: Oh yeah, your science class...

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *pulls a projector screen down in the middle of her dorm*

Chamberlain: Hm? What's this all about? Are you doing an impression of today's history class or something?

Ailie: Not quite. *pulling her roomies and their instruments in front of it* *she turns down the main light and a bunch of psychedelic swirls of color appear on the screen*

Chamberlain: It burns! X_X *covers his eyes*

Ailie: When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies

All: Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

Ailie: When the garden's flowers, baby, are dead
Yes, your mind, your mind is so full of red

All: Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

Ailie: Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
Yeah but in your head, baby
I'm afraid you don't know where it is

All: Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

Ailie: Tears are running, they're all running down your dress
And your friends, baby, they treat you like a guest

All: Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to loooooooooooooooove

*The song ends with a solo from Zoot replacing the guitar*

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *listens to the music and claps at the end* Good job, guys!

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Thanks, Caitlyn! =) You guys wanna hang with us?

Chamberlain: *gets dizzy from staring at the screen too long*

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Sure! We;ve got nothing better to do.

Lips: *nods in agreement*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Cool, get your instruments! ;) You can start up a new song and we'll play backup.

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: I already got my trumpet.

Caitlyn: I'll let the baritone sit out for this one. Besides, not too many people have heard of baritone players in a rock band...

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: XP Okies. Good point. *rushes over to her drumset*

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *adjusts the mike* Okay, what song should we do?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: You guys can pick it. Anything you want. =)

Zoot: Our only exception is any of Amy Winehouse's "hits". =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *thinks of some songs that they could do* ... no, not right now...

Lips: What's wrong with them?

Caitlyn: ... Well, one of the songs I'm not sure about doing.

Lips: That's understandable. And the others?

Caitlyn: One of the songs that I thought of might need a whole orchestra to back us up, another mainly involves guitar, and one doesn't have any female vocals... that I know of.

Lips: And you can't think of any others right now?

Caitlyn: Uh... no, none at all.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Okay...well, um, Lips? You got any ideas?

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Well, I do have one idea. It's a duet, but... I don't know if we should do it or not.

Caitlyn: *supposedly to self* Be Louis Prima.

Lips: Huh?

Caitlyn: I said, " Be Louis Prim--" ... oh.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Go for it! =)

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: So... what song do you want to do?

Caitlyn: Well... two of them involve vocals by Louis Prima.

Lips: *remembers something* Yes, and he sang with someone else on some songs, right?

Caitlyn: Yeah!

Lips: *smiles*

Caitlyn: All right, "I Wanna Be Like You", from the top!

*record scratches*

Lips: ... what?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Don't be shy, Lips... *anticipates the singing* =D

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: It's a song from "The Jungle Book", Lips. It's sung by King Louie--

Lips: I know that. But...

Caitlyn: "But"?

Lips: ... *sighs* Why that song?

Caitlyn: Because that was one of the first songs I could think of. So... uh... *glances to the side*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: I love The Jungle Book! Do it. =)

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Okay. Besides Lips, we need one more person-- two if you count Mowgli-- to sing as well. Now, minus Chamberlain, there's me, Ailie, Doc, and Zoot. Who wants to do what part? ... Of course, we could always split the parts amongst ourselves.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: =P *softly* You guys should sing something more romantic...

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *blushes slightly* Erm... *laughs nervously* *softly:* Ailie, may I speak with you for a moment?

Lips: *is thinking to himself, trying to fiigure out something*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Yesh? =D

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *takes Ailie to a corner of the room* *whispers* Are you nuts? You expect me to jump on something this soon?

Lips: *not listening in on conversation* *sighs* I don't know...

[The Count]

*From downstairs...
:batty: Vhat about Old Black Magic Called Love instead?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Yesh. I figured you knew that by now. XP It could be an experiment...to see if he likes you back in the same way.

Zoot: *blows a loud note in Lips's face*

Ailie: *swoons* I love that song, Count. <333

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: What do you think the second Louis Prima song I thought of was?

Lips: HUWha-? ... Oh. *chuckles nervously* Sorry...

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: What? O_O *eagerness*

Zoot: >_>

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: "That Old Black Magic", duh. But I don't know if I should sing that with Lips or not.

Lips: ... again, what is your problem?

[The Count]

*Still downstairs...
All: SING IIT!

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: You. The world. =P

Ailie: Yesh. Do it. <333

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *deep breath* Okay, I'll do it. *turns around* Lips, I think we're on. *to Ailie* Wait, who's gonna play trumpet now?

*four Muppaphones wander in, most likely trying to escape Marvin*

Lips: Huh? We're on? *realizes something* We're on!

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: Hit it! =) *they start playing*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *takes a wuick breath to shake away the nervousness* Old black magic has me in its spell
Caitlyn: *slightly nervous* Old black magic that you weave so well
Lips: Those icy fingers up and down my spine
Caitlyn: The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine

Lips: Same old tingle that I feel inside
Caitlyn: *feeling the beat of the song* And then that elevator starts its ride
Lips: Down and down I go
Caitlyn: Round and round I go
Lips: Like a leaf caught in the tide

Caitlyn: I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name, and I'm a flame
Lips: Flame, burning desire
Caitlyn: That only your kiss
Lips: Put out the fire

For your the lover that I've waited for
Caitlyn: Your the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine

Lips: Baby down and down I go, round and round I go
In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love
Caitlyn: Ooh in a spin, lovin the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
Both: In a spin, lovin the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love

Caitlyn: I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm a flame
Lips: Flame, burning desire
Caitlyn: That only your kiss
Lips: Put out the fire

For your the lover I have waited for
Caitlyn: Your the mate that fate had me created for
And everytime your lips meet mine

Lips: Baby down and down I go, round and round I go
In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love
Caitlyn: Ah, in a spin, lovin the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
Both: In a spin, lovin the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love

Under the old black magic called love!

*song ends* *applause*

Caitlyn: *kisses Lips on the cheek*

Lips: *smiles, almost faints*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: That was awesome, you guys! ^_^

Dr. Teeth: Yeah, far out! I remember singin' that with Jaye P! =)

Ailie: Who? O_o

Dr. Teeth: I love you, Ailie. =P

Ailie: <333

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn & Lips: *chuckle*

Marvin: I do not get it.

Caitlyn: That was a great song, Lips.

Lips: Yeah... *smiles*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: It really was. =) You guys should sing duets more often.

Dr. Teeth: Totally!

Zoot: Hmmph. >_>

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: That'd be great! ... Although... *looks at Zoot* maybe Zoot could sing a duet with-- oh, I don't know... Janice, at some point?

Lips: That'd be awesome!

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *smirks at Lips* It would be, wouldn't it?

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: And I know just the song, too!

Lips: You do?

Caitlyn: Yeah! I'll show a video of it to you. *leads the gang to her dorm with her laptop* Now... where is it... ?

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Puh-lease, I've already got one. -_-

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Okay. While I try to find my suggestion, tell us your idea.

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Like I'd really share it in front of that amateur. *motioning towards Lips* It's only for me and her.

Ailie: *fake gags* =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: I get it. She's yours.

Caitlyn: Found it! *puts headphones on Zoot* *pushes play ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLPA4UOOWP8 )*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *pulls off the headphones after 5 seconds* I don't think so...

Ailie: Zoot, don't be--

Zoot: *yawns* I'm going to sleep.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: No fun. -_-;

Lips: Somehow, he seems to be like that lately.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *as the sax player's leaving* You both said it all. *sighs*

Chamberlain: If it'll get you guys to stop being such downers, I put a dead porcupine in his bed. >=)

Dr. Teeth: Really? O_O

Zoot: *screams from the other room*

Chamberlain: *snickers* Now that's my kinda music.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Was that really necessary, Chamberlain?

Lips: To him, it probably was. He seems to be the type who gets his laughs from other people's misery.

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: *facepalm* X_X

Chamberlain: Meh. Humans...you're so wishy washy... *cocks his head at Lips* You'll thank me for this...sometime.

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Right...

Caitlyn: Okay, you know what? I am going to get to the bottom of this. *goes to Zoot's room and knocks on the door*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *spraying his room with disinfectant* GO AWAY! >_>

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *standing outside the door* Not until I get answers!

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: X= 144! There's your answer. Scram! =/

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Not that! Why do you hate Lips? When did thiss rivalry start? Why are you acting like this?

Lips: *to Dr. Teeth & Ailie* Even I don't exactly remember what happened...

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Figure out yourself! This 20 questions crud is making me-- *falls asleep immediately*

Dr. Teeth: *shakes his head* Yeah, me neither.

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: It happened so long ago...

Caitlyn: *comes back* All we can do now is sit and speculate about the subject.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Well, I've kinda got...homework... O_O

Dr. Teeth: Er, me too. *They both vanish*

Chamberlain: Mmm?

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: They got homework-- although Doc doesn't go to school-- and I've got a fun day tomorrow.

Lips: Want to listen to your "Grease" records for a while?

Caitlyn: *smiles* Yeah, that sounds good. *she and Lips go to the dorm to do just that*

[The Count]

Zoot, I'm tellin' you this straight, man. Either open up and fess up to why you're being jerkish turkish to Lips, try to make up with your bandmates, and move on by tellin' sellin' spellin' your troubles to Caitlyn. Or else, Ima gonna have to talk to Ailie about your staying here, it's seriously bumming out the rest of the hipsters on the grounds of ungroovitude.

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: YES! It worked! It really worked! *suddenly whistles innocently* I mean...hi?

Dr. Teeth: What'd ya do to Zoot? >_>

Ailie: Yeah? You're not telling us something!

Chamberlain: Go to school, children. We'll discuss it afterwards.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Fair enough. C'mon, Lips, let's get ready.

Lips: Okay.

Caitlyn: *before leaving* *to Chamberlain* I'm watching you, buddy.

[Erine81981]

*heads into the kitchen and has some cereal* What? No Honey Nut Cherrios? Drats! Oh well. That only means heading down to the Canteen. Maybe Gladys and the Swedish Chef have some doughnuts holes. See you 'round. Heading off to work. Bye everyone who's awake! *heads out the door and drives away*

[The Count]

Huh... That's weird, there's plenty of Honey Nut Cheerios... I eat a bowl almost every day. Though I prefer the original oat Cheerrios instead...
Maybe Animal ate the last box, not the cereal, just the box.
*MB reference.

Mmm, maybe I'll go ask Bert if he could make us some oatmeal today.
*Hums tune to Breakfast Time.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: I can't believe this! *takes backpak off*

Lips: What? The Fun Day at school?

Caitlyn: NO! We're leaving for my aunt's house TONIGHT!

Marvin: Tonight?

Lips; Tonight ! ?

Caitlyn: Yes, tonight.

Lips: That's... that's...

Caitlyn: I'll be taking my laptop with me. If you're worried about communication, I've hooked up a moniter in the common room.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *hurries into her dorm* All right, now tell us everything, Chamberlain!

Chamberlain: Well, remember that one episode of Muppets Tonight when Heather Locklear took those pills that made her switch back and forth between good and evil? I stole those from the lab and did an experiment to remove the good side of it and tested them out on Zoot. Looks like it was a success. =P

Ailie: *rolls her eyes* And why did you do this?

Chamberlain: I just needed somebody to relate to...the love and happiness is making me depressed.

Ailie: Well, that wasn't cool at all. You turned Zoot into a rat. ;_;

Chamberlain: *shrugs* It was either those pills or the ones that turn him into the Gollumlike mutant.

Dr. Teeth: Well, fix it! I just want my homeboy back. =(

Chamberlain: Bwahahahah-- *chokes as one of Dr. Teeth's hands wrap around his neck* I'm on it! GACK! X_X

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: We have until 5:00.

Lips: Why that time?

Caitlyn: My dad'll get home around that time, and that's when we leave.

Lips: But I don't want you to leave! ;_;

Caitlyn: I don't want to leave, either.

Lips: But, what about your bbirthday? It's tomorrow!

Caitlyn: The monitor in the common room?

Lips: It won't be the same...

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: *reappears from Zoot's room* I fixed him. Come out, boy.

Zoot: *follows him on all fours* *is slimy, has webs between his fingers, lost the rest of his hair, and grew fangs* *he hisses at the others*

Ailie: Chamberlain! We mean it! *throws a brick at the skeksis* Get him back to his old self!

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Lips... *hands him the key to the room* Take this until I come back.

Lips: *takes it* ... but...

Caitlyn: I know. I won't have any contact with you... I'll be back on Sunday, though.

Lips: I don't want to wait. ;_;

Caitlyn: It'll pass by soon enough. Oh, and if anyone has any presents for me tomorrow, tell them to leave them in front of the door. Okay?

Lips: ... *sighs* okay...

Caitlyn: I'm gonna miss you. *hugs Lips*

Lips: *hugs me back* I'll miss you, too.

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: *jumps out a window*

Ailie: *slipping a leash onto Zoot* Come on...let's go visit Caitlyn for a bit.

Zoot: SSSSS! *is pulled along*

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *still hugging*

Lips: This isn't "goodbye", is it?

Caitlyn: *forcing back tears* No... just "we'll meet again someday".

Lips: I don't want you to leave!

Caitlyn: Me neither... but you won't be alone. You'll have Marvin, Ailie, the Muppaphones, Doc, Zoot, and all of them.

Lips: But it isn't the same without you...

Caitlyn: I know, Lips... I know.

[The Count]

*Jedian forcefield bounces Chamberlain back inside Room #17. You get Zoot back to normal... And now!

Sorry I didn't get the note earlier. Ailie, Lips and Marvin and the Muppaphones will be staying with you, if that's okay. If not, please LMK and we'll find a suitable arrangement for the extra musicians.
That is all... Good night.
UD sneaks a glance at Room #17, wondering if perhaps he should go help what with Claudia and her science team away for the time being.

*Thinks of Claudia's departure... Saying goodbye. Why is it...
*Puts head down hoping my scwewy sister returns some day.

[Erine81981]

Hey Ed. Thanks ways but it's really late now. I know you were telling this morning. Oh by the way. Did you and your freinds want to come to Grover's mom's Mamorial Day thing?

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: *fixing his lab coat* I'm workin' on it! =P

Ailie: =) Okies. *leads the other musicians back to their room and turns on Grease because they're big fans as well*

Zoot: *cuddling a Muppaphone* Sssss... <333

[The Count]

Sorry Kyle, got plans for this weekend. Maybe we can swing by on Memorial Monday though.
:super:

[Erine81981]

Just when ever. Me and the others are going. See ya'll 'round.

On the top of the old car a few bag and luggages are thrown and tied down. As the car heads out to Sesame Street we see a trashcan on the back of the little cart with a sign on it saying, "Sesame or Trash."

[tvlistingman]

PETER: So Two days before Memorial Day

ZOE: What should we do

PETER: Why don't we go to the Dorm's Outdoor Pool

BABY BEAR: With a Waterslide!

LITTLE BIRD: Because it's is going to be Warm and Hot outside

PETER: Yes, so bring some sunscreen!

[BeakerSqueedom]

From the safety of the hallway, the dormies had settled into a tent for the past few days to escape the gloom that was Claudia.

Beaker: Petting Peepers, his pet muppaphone, while watching TV in his blue pajamas.

Bunsen: Reading a book.

Blind Pew: Pass me ze rum, Neuter!
I'm lonely, unhappy, and miserable!
Zis iz ze way tu deal with my unmanly grief...

Dr. Van Neuter: No! No more!

Takes an impressive swig.
Inhales sharply.

Blind Pew: But I'm not a man!

Dr. Van Neuter: Yeah, and I'm Johnny Depp....

[Winslow Leach]

Lefty: Potato pancake!

Tony, Harry and Newsie look up at Lefty's sudden outburst.

Tony: Huh?

Lefty: Potato pancake!

Tony: Um...

Lefty: Potato pancake!

Newsie: I believe he wants a potato pancake.

Tony: Gee, ya think so? Thanks, Sherlock.

Newsie: Sherlock?

Tony: I mean Einstein...whatever.

Lefty: POTATO PANCAKE!

Even Harry is getting creeped out.

Newsie: Do you think we should go get him some?

Tony: Are you kidding? I wouldn't spend a nickel on that--

Lefty: POTATO PANCAKE! POTATO PANCAKE!

Lefty leaps up, and crashes around the room, as if he were a pinball.

Lefty: POTATO PANCAKE POTATO PANCAKE POTATO PANCAKE!

Tony: Let's get him--

Newsie, heading for the door...

Newsie: Way ahead of you...

[The Count]

*Still missing my Claudida. Well, at least Caitlyn's coming back later today and her mayhem with Ailie will probably continue. Have a good day everybody.
And happy birthday to Frank Oz and all of his Muppet friends living here in the dorms who share his birthday.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Attacks Eddie with a series of glomp-tackles.
I MISSED YOU, TOO! :3

[The Count]

*Oomf! Who is this trampling all over my personage? Hmm, she has a cute little nose, Claudia's squeeks if you squeeze it. *Squeezes nose and gets a squeek. And it has preetty nails, Claudia's are painted by Van Neuter. *Inspects nails and sees little haphazard pumpkin streaks in the polish like the ones Van Neuter makes. And she just gave me a big glomp, just like Claudia does... So maybe, just maybe, she has the same floppy arms Claudia has. *Wriggles her arms to see if they fall limply back at her sides. Yaey!
Is Claudia! *Glomps sissy. Now get thee to posting story, we mish you! Oh, and you might want to check out new stories by people like Beth (Together Again) and Sean (IndianaFrog and the Ancient Mystery) or Arianne (The Moon Doesn't Look Like You), RedSonga (Song of a Midnight Place), and updates to Kermie's Girl.
Claudia back... *Dreamy happy look.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: O_o Floopy armies? D: Shhh...no one's s'possed tah know that. >_>...<_<...Yesh, it ish I! I hath come back with my weird, squeeky ways. X3

Wow, so many fics to catch up with! O_O
Oh gosh, my day is booked.

Gets to sending Eddie a list of names.
That's the least she can do for her absence. :3

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie and them roomies: *crash into Claudia's room* SQUEEEE! <3333333333333

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: ATTACK OF THE FURBIES! D:

Bunsen: Ahem.

Claudia: OH! They're not Furbies! :3 They're my fwends!
Snugges Ailie.
YEEEEE! Wanna go with me to the Labyrinth? XD
I'mma go bother Jareth...

BOTHER, BOTHER!

[The Count]

Ah! The trouble with Muppaphones! What to get Caitlyn, and Marvin, and Lips... Nooo! I feel my sanity being squeekied away. Help me Deadly!
*Roomies are eating breakfast, oblivious to the call.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Yesh! *puts on one of those #1 fingers you get at Red Sox games* *pokes Bunsen*

Zoot: *chewing on a Muppephone* Grrrrr... X_X *still baldy and Gollumy and mutated and fangy*

Ailie: I thought you were going to fix him, Chamberlain. =P

Chamberlain: Um...cheese?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: Oh, enjoying yourself Mr. Sasha---I mean, Mr. Zoot?
Please put down Peepers. He may be in terrible pain what with your chewing....

I see your thinning hair is...erm...miraculously thicker!
I can see why! Ignores the fact he's bald.

Beaker: O_o Meep?

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: O_O *barks at her*

Ailie: Bothersworth--I mean, Bunsen, can you fix your little brother--I mean, fellow muppet? Chamberlain's not doing squat.

Chamberlain: Wait a minute! Are they--*staring at Bunsen and Zoot* Are you guys related?

[BeakerSqueedom]

Beaker: Meep?

Dr. Van Neuter: Like, oh gosh! That is RICH! Is this true, dork?

Bunsen: I-I...I haven't the slightest idea on what you all are on about. C-come now, you sillies....I'll set up the rejuvinator....and perhaps we may restore the little sanity he's lost.

Settle yourselves down...and....

Has Zoot hop into the machine.
Enters a code for it to start.

Claudia: O_O I admit!
I'm related to David Hasselhoff...!

Composta: GASP!

Blind Pew: Really?

Claudia:....n....no. X3

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *tries to break out but is restrained by the machine*

Dr. Teeth: *petting a test monkey* Hey, little furry thang...ya wanna banana? =D *gets attacked by it* AAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAH! X_X

Ailie: *pulls it off* Now what did we learn? =P

[BeakerSqueedom]

Chimpanzee: >/ EEE EEE OOOHHH!
Wiggles butt at him.

Bunsen: Alrighty, here we go, Mr. Zoot!
With a flick of this little switch, you will instantly return to your normal self again! That I promise without a shred of doubt!
*Laughs maniacally as the machine works it's magic*

HOOOOHHHOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOO! XD

Dr. Van Neuter: Stop it...you can't do evil laughs....

Bunsen: Oh poo.

Beaker: Meeppp....

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: ;_;

Zoot: *screams*

Ailie: Nya?

Chamberlain: *watching Bunsen suspiously* There's no hiding...I know you two are somehow related...

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: O_O Okie-dokiee! You are officially cured, Mr. Zoot!
Be off! Enjoy yourself!
Escorting them hastily to the door.
Thank you ever so much for coming...
Yes, I....yes...
Pushes them out.

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Thanks--I am? Did I have chicken pox? O_o

Chamberlain: Wait, a minute--*pushes Bunsen back* --tell me the truth or I'll make a pie out of Beaker. -_-

[The Count]

*Voice: You do that and we'll be having Skexus stew for dinner. Mmm, I can taste the simmering sinews now.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: You're going to make pie for Beaker?
That's quite generous of you, but I must insist that you leave.
You see, I will be conducting a hazardous experiment that will relieve you of life within a matter of seconds.

Blind Pew: Iz true!
Don't zyou remember zhat time I nearly ate zyou?
Tounge glides along his nonexistant lips in delight.
I could have ate a deliciousz turkey-like dinner...

Polishing his sword lovingly.

Anyway...hiz warning isz of uncomparable magnitude when comparingz tu ze incident we had not tu long ago. Lez just zay...you be turkey again...

Bunsen: Don't be silly, Mr. Pew!
It's only a safety precaution...
Takes a large oven tray out, in-case the silly pigeon makes his stay.

Beaker: Meep!

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: Mmm...you guys really are making this way too big of a deal than it should be. I just want to know if Bunsen and Zoot are siblings...is that too much to ask for?

Zoot: O_o Wha--?

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(gang is huddled around Scrabble board)

Erin: Oh, no, that was on a triple letter score...what is that, 80 points.
Storyteller: Hmmm, hmm...no, 105.
Beige: You know, gofer, I was planning to use that T for something...
Erin: Cool it, guys. My turn...T-U-R-B-I-N-E. 50 points.
Nora: (shuffling letters) All I've got is consonants.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Bunsen: MMmm...No, we're not....
Chuckles. Pushes him out.

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: Liar.

Zoot: Well--never mind... O_o

Ailie: Anybody want to go down to the pool? Swimming in the dark is fun. XP

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: I wanna go with you! :3

Claudia: 0_0 Ok, let's go.

[WhiteRabbit]

[BeakerSqueedom]

They make it to the pool.
In the pool floats a ship.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *narrowly sidesteps Dr. Teeth as he's running back to the dorm* ... Wow... *tries to open door* ... Oh yeah, I gave Lips the key. Hmm... where are they now?

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: Hi Cait. How's it goin'? *trying conceal his fangs popping out* Er... *runs in the opposite direction*

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: O_o Dude, what's a matter with Teeth?

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: ... Okay. *walks in the direction that Dr. Teeth came from* Maybe they're all at the pool... *goes to said place* Guys? Anyone here?

[The Count]

*Christens the good ship Pew's Pet with a bottle of sody pop. The boat, unfortunately, suffers a hull breech and sinks to the bottom of the pool.
Oops. Sorry?

Cate! Got you some B-Day presents...
For Lips, an album of Dizzy Galespi music.
For Marvin, an album of Buster Poindexter music.
For Caitlyn, an album of classic rockin' hits.
Um, never mind the leather suit in the closet, that's for another girl...

:batty: Please... There's nothing wrong with Dr. Teeth.
UD: You don't think he was bitten by one of your relatives?
:batty: No, ve only drink blood... Ve don't bite for it. That's just those nasty little buggers known as mosquitos. Now where's Kermit vhen you need him.
UD: Mmm, I think he's been shackled to clean-up duties in Room #20.
:batty: Little green stuff then?
UD: Nope, Lisa's out of sight again.
*Both sigh and set up some repellant candles near the pool's edges.

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: CAITLYN! *glomps*

Muppaphones: *crowd around me*

Marvin: Hello, Caitlyn!

Caitlyn: It's great to see you guys again!

Marvin: Enough with the hugging!

Lips: *hands me the key to our dorm back*

Caitlyn: Thanks. Now, let's put our new records away and get changed to go swimming! *unlocks the door & opens it* I'll meet you guys there!

*a few minutes later, all of the roomates are at the pool. Caitlyn is wearing a one-piece and is floating on her back. Lips, with his trumpet by his side, is watching Caitlyn from the edge. His pant legs are rolled up and his feet are in the water. Marvin is providing the music. ... Well, if you call it music...*

Caitlyn: Ah, it's great to be back...

[The Count]

*Whispers to Ailie and her roomies to start playing "Kiss Da Girl" in the background for Caitlyn and Lips.

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: O_O *Sees the massive vessel sink*....

Blind Pew: ;_;

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Okies. <3 Hey guys--

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *eyes are closed; hums "Dancin' With Myself" for some odd reason*

Lips: *to self* Wow... she looks... peaceful... so peaceful...

[The Count]

*UD sends electric eels to retrieve treasure from sunken chest. *OOC: OK, so that's a bit of a bad joke, if it makes Clauds laugh, or anyone else, then ju know why it'sa off-color okay.

Dr. Teeth: *rubbing red liquidy substance off his mouth, joins them again* Hey guys. O_o

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *opens eyes, stands up in the water* Hey, Doc.

Lips: Hi, Dr. Teeth. Where were you?

Marvin: Who cares?

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: Hi Cait, Hey Lips. *cocks his head at Marvin* Er...nowhere special... *smiles innocently* How y'all doin'?

Ailie: NYA! <3 *pulls him into the pool*

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: I'm fine. I got back from a visit at my aunt's. We had a Muppet cake. And I got the Season 3 DVD Box Set!

Lips: That's nice of them.

Caitlyn: Aren't you going to join us, Lips?

Lips: Er... I don't know... I'm not the best--

Caitlyn: *pulls the trumpet player into the pool, leaving the trumpet behind* =P

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: O_O *shivers, clings to Ailie*

Ailie: *clings back* Lucky! That's awesome. =)

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *clings to Caitlyn, shivering*

Caitlyn: *clings back* The cake was nothing special. It was just a picture of Kermit 'n Piggy with the Muppet Show Fan Club logo underneath it. Although, the rest of the cake was fixed to match the main picture...

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *beams at Lips and Caitlyn clinging each other* *hums Part of Your World softly* It still sounds cool, though* I just got a plain oreo cake for mine. XP

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: It is. *to Lips* Sorry that I pulled you into the pool. *faintly blushes* I just wanted you to join us, that's all. You okay?

Caitlyn: *whipers back* Good idea. It might take some more time. *smiles*

Lips: *smiles back*

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: *pushing Zoot's head under the water* Mwahahaha...

Ailie: Hey! *shoves him off* Go pull the wings off a fly or something. Are you okay, Zoot?

Zoot: Uh huh... O_o

Dr. Teeth: Don'cha have something to say to our bandmate?

Zoot: Uh, right. Lips, I'm sorry for being a jerk to you earlier. I still don't like you but I'll be less upfront about it now. Okay?

Ailie: XP

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: It's cool, man. I accept the apology/

Caitlyn: So, how are you guys? What happened while I was gone?
