Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[Winslow Leach]

Lefty(to Ailie) Geez...tanks fer da entusiasm!

Mr. Turtle (being smothered by Dr. Teeth) Oof! And a jolly good evening to you, sir, put me down!

Lefty: Anyway, yer weird friend over dere oughta stop stranglin' Mr. Toitle fer a few seconds...I brought him on accounta I have sometin' ta sell ya! Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

Mr. Turtle: I don't see why I need to be here.

Lefty: 'Cause yer cute...they're more liable ta buy sometin' from me! Now...feast yer eyes...on dis! (pulls a pen out of coat) Youse may say ta yerself...dis is just a pen...but in actuality, dis is an unbreakable pen! How many times do youse wish youse had a pen dat didn't break on youse? A million times a day I bet, right? Well, dis little handy-dandy pen will never break! It can witstand anytin'! (hands pen to Newsie) 'Ere.

Newsie: What do you want me to do with it?

Lefty: Blow trew it an' make pretty music!

Newsie brings the pen to his lips, taking Lefty literally; Lefty slaps Newsie's hand.

Lefty: Why youse...dat was only a finger of speech, ya nitwit! Trow it against da wall wit all yer might!

Newsie: Huh?

Lefty: Trow it. Against da wall. Wit all yer might.

Newsie shrugs. He very gently, very carefully tosses the pen; it barely connects with the wall, but with just a tiny tap, the pen breaks, spewing ink everywhere.

Lefty: O_O You IDIOT! Ya wasn't supposed ta trow it dat hard!

Newsie: But--

Lefty: Who are youse, da Incredible Hulk? ! Youse don't know yer own strength?

Lefty runs to the broken pen, falls to his knees and picks it up, cradling it (and getting ink all over himself in the process).

Lefty: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Mr. Turtle (still trying to struggle from Dr. Teeth) Ugh. What a drama queen!

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: *gasping* Donatello's not cute! He's adorable! But bad as at the same time. MHM!

Ailie: *blinks*

Zoot: But I've used loads of pens and they don't break...except for this one time when I--

Ailie: *cutting him off* I don't get it. Where's the girl scout cookies? ;_;

Dr. Teeth: Yeah, we wants cookiehs, man. =P *still cuddling Mr. Turtle roughly*

[Winslow Leach]

Lefty (crying) Quiet! All 'a youse! Dis...dis pen meant da woild ta me! And I wasn't gonna sell ya dis one! Dis was my own poysonal property! And now it's gone! Never ta write again! And it's all because of YOU!

Lefty points an accusing finger at Newsie, like the evil monkey from Family Guy.

Newsie: But I didn't even throw it that hard!

Lefty: You know what youse did...HULK! Youse killed my pen!

Newsie: Heh heh. I guess that saying isn't true after all. The pen isn't mightier than the sword!

Lefty rushes Newsie, furious. Newsie runs to the door, opens it, stands behind door, and watches as Lefty runs straight out into the hallway, ultimately crashing into the wall across the way.

Mr. Turtle: A marvelous exit! I couldn't have done it better myself! NOW PUT ME DOWN YOU GRINNING PLATYPUS!

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: I had the same relationship with a purple crayon once...but one day it decided that things weren't working out between us... *heartbroken sigh*

Ailie: O_o

Dr. Teeth: *oblivious to the insults* I love ya too. <333

[Winslow Leach]

Newsie: Well...er...I guess there's no other reason to be here now...um...I guess I'll have to carry that (gestures to out-cold Lefty) back to our room...again. Oh! (crosses to pen, and picks it up) I'll give this its proper respect. Lefty would have wanted it that way...(Newsie opens the window, and hurls the pen out into the night) Evening, folks. Oh, Dr. Teeth, since you're enjoying Mr. Turtle so much, I'll leave him here. Tommy or someone will pick him up in the morning. Night all!

Newsie exits, and throws Lefty over his back, as if the salesman were a sack of potatoes.

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: YES! *drags him over to the living room to play GTA*

Ailie: *collapses back onto the floor, bored*

[WhiteRabbit]

Chamberlain: MMMMMmmmmmmm... >_>

Ailie/Zoot/Dr. Teeth: O_O

Chamberlain: *pulls out a pitchfork* DANCE, MONKEYS! *turns on the Cotton Eye Joe and starts chasing them around*

[Winslow Leach]

Lefty pounds on Ailie's door.

Lefty: 'Ey! 'Ey! Open up in dere! I want my toitle back! 'Ey! Is anybody home? Hello? Open up! Open dis door, before I huff and puff and blow it down! And I can, youse know! I just had spinach fer supper! Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

Lefty, still pounding, kicks the door as well.

Lefty: Open up, youse crum-bums! Open dis door right now, or I'll go get Newsie and use his head ta bash it in! And I can, youse know! 'Ey! OPEN DA DOOR SAYS I!

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *opening the door, looking worn out after running from Chamberlain* What d'ya want again? =P

Dr. Teeth: O_O *stops and picks up Mr. Turtle* *sprints to his room and locks the door*

[Winslow Leach]

Lefty runs past Ailie, and begins pounding on Dr. Teeth's door.

Lefty: Youse kin run, but youse can't hide, Toothache! Open da door now, er suffer da consequences! Yeah. I'm gonna...uh...put a sign up on yer door here dat says "a big fat loser lives here!" Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! Do youse want dat, crum-bum? If not, open da door! Do I hafta spell it out fer ya? O-P-N D-A-D-O-R-E! Open da door!

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *rolls her eyes* That sign's reserved for Howard's door, Lefty. =P

Dr. Teeth: ;_; *opens the door to deck the salesman into the nose as hard as he can* *slams it closed again*

[Winslow Leach]

Lefty flies halfway across the room, and lands in a heap.

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *holds up a 10* =P

Chamberlain: *holds up a 9.8*

[Winslow Leach]

Newsie wanders into the room...what *is* this, open house?

Newsie (looks at Lefty) Darn! I was "too late." Hey Ailie, I'm hungry. Do you have any milk and cookies?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: What do I look like? Maid service? =P

Zoot: *dressed up like a maid* I've got them for you, Newsie! ^_^

Dr. Teeth *trying to shove Mr. Turtle under his bed* Ya can live in mah secret fort. The password's 2pac.

[Winslow Leach]

Newsie (twiddles his fingers, like a certain scientist) Ooh! Thank you, Zoot! What do you have? Not peanut butter, I hope. I'm allergic to peanut butter. And I hope the milk is skim. I won't drink anything but skim.

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *retying his sash* -_- *sighs* You're a pain in the neck, you know that?

Dr. Teeth: *crawling under the bed with Mr. Turtle* Ha! Now they nevah gonna find us! So how d'ya like yer new home? =)

[Winslow Leach]

Newsie (to Zoot) Well you're a...TWIT!

(Under Dr. Teeth's bed)

Mr. Turtle: Blimey! It reeks under here! Smells like some poor creature crawled up and died! This, sir, is an inappropriate habitat for a turtle...especially this turtle! I shall have to forget my gentlemanly ways and bite you on the nose if you don't let me go this instant, my good man!

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *cries* You never appreciate what I do for you!

Dr. Teeth: *blinks* Yeah...I like it too. =)

[Winslow Leach]

Newsie: What have you ever done for me? ! All I asked you for were some non-peanut butter cookies and skim milk. How hard is that?

(Under Dr. Teeth's bed)

Mr. Turtle (sighs) This is grounds for animal abuse, you do know that...crikey! This is worse than the time I went on holiday with Errol Flynn, and he tried to use me as fish bait!

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: I do everything for you, you geek! And then some! *wails*

Dr. Teeth: Mhm... *starts reading one of the old magazines buried under there*

[Winslow Leach]

Mr. Turtle: I say, do you have Daily Variety? The Hollywood Reporter? The New Yorker? The New York Times? Newsweek? (sighs) People? I'll read anything at this point!

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: Well...let's see... *five seconds later* Nope. But check this out... *grins and hands over what he's reading*

[Winslow Leach]

Mr. Turtle:

O_O

O_O

O_O

O_O

Does your mother know you're reading this...this...this...ah, hand it over...at least it's something! Didn't Norman Mailer once contribute to this publication?

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: I knew that'd spark yer interest... ; ) *picks up another copy*

[Winslow Leach]

Newsie (still arguing with Zoot) Look, just run down to the market, pick up chocolate chip or oatmeal cookie mix, bring it back, and whip me up a batch. I will not eat pre-baked cookies! They must be fresh, right from the oven! And while you're down there, pick me up some skim milk too, okay? I don't have any money on me, I'll have to...pay you back...(shifty eyes) Go ahead, Betty Crocker! You're wasting time!

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: O_O *pulling a banana cream pie out of the fridge* Hm...I don't think so, dorkwad. =P *smashes the pie into his face*

[Winslow Leach]

Newsie: HUMNF! NOT BANANAS! WAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHH ! ! ! !

In the corner, Lefty's leg slowly twitches, then is still again.

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Scooter: (adjusting knob on crystal set) Move the antenna a little more to the left...no, right!
Beige: (moving antenna) Boy, I hope you get that server fixed, Erin.
Erin: (adjusting wattage on radio) Yeah, you and me both. Of all the nights for my computer to not want to pick up the MuppetCast...
Storyteller: Oh, is this the one with the interview with Jane?
Nora: Yup...and Steve was actually in the Hunts' kitchen talking to her this time.
Scooter: (adjusting knob some more) Okay, wait, I'm hearing Steve's voice - don't move that antenna anymore!
Erin: It's grainy, but it'll have to do for now.
Beige: Does that mean I need to hold my arms up all night?
Nora: No...come sit down. Has he gotten to the interview yet?
Storyteller: Break out the orange juice!

[Erine81981]

*eatting some Chef Bork'ade*

Bruce: Are you for real?

*mouthful* Wha?

Bruce: Eatting that? *raise eyebrow*

This stuff is wonderful. I love it! *eats more*

Bruce: Don't you know who made it?

No? Who?

Bruce: Duh, it's right on the front of the can. Look.

Swedish Chef? He made this?

Bruce: Yep.

Hmmmmm it's pretty good. *keeps eatting it*

Bruce: You are one weird person. *walks away*

*watches as Bruce walks away* Ewwwwww...*starts spiting out the stuff in the sink* I was wondering why it didn't taste so good. Yuck! *looks at the can again* I can't even tell it's him. *throws the can away*

Oscar: *pops up* Hmmmmm this stuff might come in handy. *grabs the can out of the trash and heads off out the door*

[Katzi428]

*MST3K moment.

BTW: This is a friendly little reminder from the dorms management to all residents. As of Friday, you will have to vacate the dorms per the usual anniversary shut-down. As of Monday the 25th of August, we will be accepting and reviewing application submissions for residency. More will be posted later in the week. Thanks and have a good night.

[theprawncracker]

Ryan: *up on the roof* *installing electrical chords*
Clifford: *shimmies up to the roof* Hey Ry-guy, whatcha up to?
Ryan: Putting up a perimeter.
Clifford: ...Why?
Ryan: So no one takes my property, of course.
Clifford: ...Right. So the roof is your property?
Ryan: It may as well be. Lisa and I have stayed up here during the anniversary shut-downs, remember?
Clifford: Duh. How could I forget the pigeons?
Ryan: Good point. But yeah, I'm setting up this blockade so no one takes our spot.
Clifford: Who would want this spot, dude?
Ryan: C'mon, Cliff! This is prime real-estate here!
Clifford: It's real alright... Real uncomfortable.
Ryan: *shrug* Say what you will, but you're my roommate so you have no choice.
Clifford: *sighs* Yeah, yeah, I know.

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <climbs up on the roof> Thanks for saving our spot, Prawnie! Boy, it'll be great to get out in the fresh air again. <Inhales... exhales> ...Well! Back to locking myself into my little bombshelter of a room. See ya soon! <climbs back down>

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Are we going to have a repeat of last year?
Beige: I don't know - what happened?
Erin: Oh, a few people barricaded themselves on the roof and started a near revolt or something.
Storyteller: It didn't come to a revolt, Erin - but I do remember some foodstuffs being thrown.
Scooter: I think I vaguely remember that...so what are we doing for the two weeks?
Erin: Well, Nora, if you're not up to putting up with the boorish brother, terror twins and scary scout for two weeks, you can hole up in my spare room.
Beige: And I'll go off and visit the family in the Cave.
Storyteller: I've been asked to a meeting of storytelling Fraggles in the Rock.
Scooter: I guess I'll go visit uncle J.P. and aunt Nancy for a bit...and think of more ways to remind Kermit that my uncle owns the theater.
Beige: Real tactful, gofer.
Nora: But what about room assignments?
Erin: Hmmm...well, we all know we're going to be in the same building at least. But I guess we'll know more later on.

[The Count]

*Posted by Vehicle Named Lad: "Aunt Nancy".
That made me smile.

Night all... Now if I could design a diner waitress uniform for the bird...

Zoot: ...what? O_o

Ailie: I dunno. =P But I'm gonna hate leaving...after all the fun times... *sniffs*

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: Dorm shut-down time is coming up again, guys. Same plan as last year?
Boober: That was all of us spending the break at your house, right?
Kim: Right.
Gillis: I might not be able to join you for a few days. The Minstrels are supposed to be coming back around the Rock's way.
Kim: Can't blame you for wanting to spend time with your girlfriend, Gil.
Gillis: She's not my--
Kim: Tosh, Mimzy, Boober? How 'bout you guys?
Tosh: Works for me! Can we have a T*Witches marathon?
Boober: What marathon? There are only two movies.
Kim: Six of one, half dozen of the other. Yeah, I suppose Tosh. But not on a school night.
Mimzy: But I thought we were getting a break from school.
Kim: You guys are, but the regular school year just started. I'm expecting to start getting called in to sub sometime in early September. Give the regular aides time to straighten up their schedules, and to let all the germs these kids have spread and incubate.
Boober: ...I'd better make sure the medicine cabinet's stocked up...

-Kim

Crazy Harry (totally oblivious) Huh?

Tony: Of course.

Lefty: I'll have ta get him away from dat crum-bum wit da big mouth...he's been dere fer a couple days now...he must be goin' out of his little toitle skull!

[BEAR]

Lips: ... Ailie... *sighs*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *smiles a little, albeit looking sad at the same time*

Marvin: ... *mutters something about wife took my wallet*

Caitlyn: *laughs* How 'bout the rest of you?

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: I squandahed it all on bribin' people to beh mah blood donors... *hangs his head*

Ailie: *pulls a dime out of her jeans* Nya... =/

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *sighs* Too bad we're nowhere near London...

Marvin: Why? O_o

Caitlyn: I know the perfect place that we could go... *sighs* But airfare is too expensive nowadays. -_-;

Muppaphone: We could always lock ourselves in crates...

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Or we could go to Robot-Pirate Island... O_o

Dr. Teeth: Argh... =P

[WhiteRabbit]

Caitlyn: *laughs* Does it look like I know? =P

Lips: We need a place that we know, yet it's safe and affordable... And most of all, close by... *leans against the wall that houses the window, where the EM bus is parked right outside*

Muppaphone: ... Who's up for "College Road Trip" tonight?

Ailie: O_O I call the roof!

Zoot: I call the trunk. =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: What do I call?

Lips: *looks out the window* O_O Duh! *smacks his head*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Call for pizza. XPPP Sorry...I can't help myself... *runs outside and climbs on top of the roof of the EM bus* O_O

Zoot and Dr. Teeth: *to the others* C'mon! *following the weird chick*

[AnimatedC9000]

*Cait and all her dormies follow*

Caitlyn: *stepping inside of the bus* This is the perfect idea! We'll get to see each other every day now! =)

Lips: Thank you, luck! =)

Marvin: *is indifferent about all of this* Meh... -_-

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: I could bring my drumset up here! *climbs back down and runs inside to drag out her instrument*

Zoot: *opens the trunk on the side of the bus and crawls into it* O_o ...o_O *falls asleep*

Dr. Teeth: How long d'ya think we'll haftah live in this thang, though?

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: 'Til the Dorms start back up again and/or the time that the applications can get in. That's what I think. Until then, though... *giggles bubbly, blushes slightly, and winks at Dr. Teeth*

Lips: *sits down in one of the empty bus seats* This may take some getting used to again...

Muppaphones: *starting to come in with their stuff*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *from inside the trunk* Zzzzzz...

Chamberlain: *skulking onto the bus and glaring at Cait and the keyboardist* Get a room...

Ailie: *dragging her drumset onto the bus's roof noisily* *repositions the cymbals* There. *starts going nuts on it*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *looks out the window and up to the roof* O_o You okay up there?

Caitlyn: Bleh. =P *throws a black, unfriendly, killer Muppaphone at Chamberlain*

Mutant Muppaphone: *starts to eat the Skesis*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *stops drumming* Yesh. Me fine. =P *starts up again*

Chamberlain: *pulls the muppaphone off and throws it out the window* >_>

Dr. Teeth: *resting his legs on top of the dashboard, wondering what to do*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Sure you're not gonna fall off?

Marvin: *stares out the window, bored*

Caitlyn: *sitting in the seat directly behind the driver's seat, staring at the ceiling*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: No way. XP

Chamberlain: *flicks a dustball at the back of Marvin's head*

Dr. Teeth: *sighs and turns on the radio*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: But what about the rain that might come?

Marvin: *responds by throwing a Muppaphone at Chamberlain*

Caitlyn: *eyelids drooping* *sighs*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Me don't mind...

Chamberlain: *catches it in his beak and tries to eat it*

Dr. Teeth: *noticing it on the rearview mirror* Hey! Leave the fuzzball alone! *pulls the Muppaphone out of his mouth*

Chamberlain: MMMMMmmmmm... *hisses* That's it! I'm staying somewhere else...in fact, I'm leaving once the new semester starts...I've made my decision.

Dr. Teeth: A'ight. We won' miss ya. *throws him out of the bus*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... but what about your drums?

Caitlyn: Frank Oz Puppet Club: down to uno. That just leaves the three... five... six... Hey, where's Zoot?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *ignores him and keeps drumming*

Zoot: *waking up* I'm in the trunk...

Dr. Teeth: Dude, ya don' hafta be in there. O_O Get inside the bus.

Zoot: *sighs* Fine... *comes in and sits in the back*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *to Zoot* Welcome back.

Caitlyn: *staring out the front window, her head resting in her hands and her arms resting on the driver's seat* What do we do now? I have no idea.

Marvin: Well, ask a stupid question...

Caitlyn: -_- ... I'm tired.

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Uh huh... *falls back asleep*

Dr. Teeth: *glances over his shoulder to smile weakly at Cait* I wish I had an answah fer ya...

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *nods his head* *looks through his drawings again*

Caitlyn: *tiredly* I think I answered my own question a while back. *rubs her neck (which is still covered in bandages)* I dunno what to do.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *stops drumming for a moment*

Dr. Teeth: *cocking his head at the bandages on her neck and lowering his voice* Didja have to get those after I bit ya? O_o

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... *suddenly stares at the ceiling*

Caitlyn: *lowers her voice to match his* I had nothing to do with it. The Muppaphones must've put them on me while I was asleep. I was gonna still use that cover-up that Ailie let me borrow.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *chewing on one of her drumsticks*

Dr. Teeth: All righ'...but yer not mad about it, are ya? 'Cause yer one of...them now... =/

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *looks back at Zoot*

Caitlyn: Gee gads, and I forgot to take the antidote... But I'm not mad at you, baby. *places her hand on his cheek* I... *swallows* I did it... *voice gets quieter* for... *almost inaudible* love...

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *waking up again* -_- *whispers to Lips* Just hand me the barf bag, man...

Dr. Teeth: *beams and motions for her to join him up front*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *searches through the pouch on the back of the seat until he pulls a bag out* *hands it to Lips*

Marvin: *makes a face of disgust* Blech...

Caitlyn: *slides in beside him, smiling*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *shoves it under his seat for later*

Dr. Teeth: *squeezes her hand and then smirks at Marvin* What's the mattah? Didja catch sighta yerself in the mirror or somethin'? =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... *inhales* So... what do you think?
\
Marvin: Oh, shut up. -_-;

Caitlyn: *giggles breifly*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: What do I think of what? *watching the chick and his bandmate*

Dr. Teeth: Shaddup, yerself. =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *shrugs* I dunno. Life, the universe, everything.

Marvin: Make me!

Caitlyn: *whistles for Ailie* *chuckles silently*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Meh...

Ailie: O_O *stops drumming and pokes her head into the bus through the moon roof* MAR-VIN! QUI-ET!

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *nods* Feeling indifferent about everything today, are we? O_o

Marvin: *is quiet* O_o

Caitlyn: It worked! XD

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: ...bleh...

Dr. Teeth: Good girl! *throws her a treat*

Ailie: YAH! *catches it in her mouth and crawls back up on the roof*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... is that all you're gonna say?

Caitlyn: Good ol' Ailie... *nods* Yup... *rubs her eyes* Man, I'm still tired?

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *nods*

Dr. Teeth: That's all righ', baby. Ya wanna sleep?

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Suit yourself. *turns back around to glance through his drawings again*

Caitlyn: *slightly yawning* I dunno... Should I take these bandages off and put on some cover-up first?

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *biting the tips of his fingers, looking bored*

Dr. Teeth: Sure, I'll help ya...it's kinda--it is mah fault yer wearin' them anyway. =/

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *tears out a few blank peices of paper, pulls out a pencil, and hands them back to Zoot* Here you go.

Caitlyn: *quieter* Yeah... *smiles weakly* It's okay. It was for a good cause. *fingering at the bandages* I don't know where to start on this, though. I mean, I wasn't the one to put these on.

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *starts chewing on one of the pencils*

Dr. Teeth: I can help ya... *starts pulling the first one off gently*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: O_o ... you're supposed to draw on the paper, you dummy. Just draw whatever... er, whatever.

Caitlyn: *nods* They wrap all around my neck. Remember that... please.

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: I dunno how to draw...

Dr. Teeth: Don' worreh...I'll try not to hurt ya... *gives her a reassuring smile*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... You just... hold the pencil like you're gonna write with it, put it to the paper, and start moving it around until you create a picture. It's as simple as that.

Caitlyn: I think they put them on a little too tight, though... I'm not that sure about that...

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: I mean, I can draw...but it comes out awful.

Dr. Teeth: Oh...righ'...well, it'll onleh hurt fer a second...

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Well... I don't know what to say, mainly because I haven't seen any of your drawings. Go on, just... try drawing a duck. ... a duck? O_o

Caitlyn: *closes her eyes, bracing herself*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *draws a "duck" which looks more like a deformed pile of yogurt with eyes*

Dr. Teeth: Readeh?

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... take your time? There's no rush? O_o Zoot, you can draw better than that.

Caitlyn: Yeah. *takes a deep breath in*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: No, I can't. =P

Dr. Teeth: *rips all the bandages off in a split second*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Yeah, you can. Hey listen, I can give you drawing lessons if you want some.

Caitlyn: *cringes* *hands become semi-clenched*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: ...nu. >_>

Dr. Teeth: That wasn' so bad, was it? *smiling weakly* At leas' ya didn' scream...

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *looks a little hurt* ... fine. *takes back the pieces of paper that Zoot hasn't drawn on* I was just, you know, tryin' to help a friend out... *turns back around in his seat*

Caitlyn: Well duh, I need my singing voice. ... *softer* So, what's the worst damage?

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *ignores him and tries to fall back asleep*

Dr. Teeth: There's onleh, like, these two holes in the side of yer neck but they're not bleedin' or anythang... O_o

[Katzi428]

sighing and looking out the window
Prairie:What's wrong,Kath?
singing off key...:sing:Cloudy day...don't wanna get hit by Fay....:sing:
Rosita trying not to giggle at my pathetic version of the Sesame Street theme songOh Kath...I don't think it'll hit us.The weather people keep changing their minds and driving people crazy!
You're right.noticing that Gaffer's under my bed Gaffer? What's wrong,kitty?You scared?
Prairie: I, uh, think you were hurting Gaffer's ears by singing off key,Kath.
Oh Gaffer! I'm sorry,honey! I won't do it again. I promise.
Gaffer:Prrt?
Yes...I promise.Now come on out.
Gaffer comes out and starts purring.

[AnimatedC9000]

Zoot: *ignores him and tries to fall back asleep*

Dr. Teeth: There's onleh, like, these two holes in the side of yer neck but they're not bleedin' or anythang... O_o
Lips: Some friend you are. >_> *walks away from him to near the front of the bus*

Caitlyn: ... Oh. Is that all? *sighs in relief* Thank goodness. I was worried there for a second.

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Zzzzzzzz...

Dr. Teeth: *meekly* Yeah, just alert meh when yer sproutin' fangs, all righ'?

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: -_- *throws his drawing pad at Zoot and exits the bus*

Caitlyn: *suddenly alarmed* Fangs? O_O

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *watching Lips leave from her spot on the roof* Nya? O_o

Dr. Teeth: Well, yeah...that's what's gonna happen firs'...but they'll onleh come out at night.

[Winslow Leach]

Outside, Lefty is crouching in front of some dynamite and other explosives he stole from Crazy Harry. He gleefully rubs two sticks together.

Lefty: Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe...

Tony, hands in pockets, walks up behind Lefty.

Tony: Hey Lefty, what are you--

Lefty jumps about six feet into the air, shocked out of his skin.

Lefty: DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Lefty grabs his chest, and tries to catch his breath.

Lefty: Don't...youse...EVER...do dat...again...

Tony: What'd I do?

Lefty: Youse know what ya did! Ya snuck up on me, ya crum-bum!

Tony: I didn't sneak up on you, Mr. Paranoid. I was just taking a walk, saw you out here, and wanted to say hi...and what you're doing with Crazy Harry's explosives...

Lefty: I'm gonna set 'em off, hee hee!

Tony: Does he know?

Lefty: Nah. I borrowed dese while he was sleepin' on his cot...riiiiiiiiiiight!

Tony: Borrowed them? What, you're gonna return the fragments after you set them off, and hope he doesn't notice?

Lefty (blinks) Shaddap!

Tony: Anyway, you're not allowed to play with matches.

Lefty: Dat's why I got dese! (holds up the two sticks in triumph)

Tony: Don't tell me. You were a former boy scout.

Lefty: I was a former boy scout, and we loyned how ta...(blinks) Shaddap!

Tony: So...you're gonna start a fire rubbing two sticks together, is that it, Fred Flintstone?

Lefty: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

Tony: You know...as crazy and as wild as Harry is...and irresponsible...demented...insane...off his nut...he still knows how to handle those things. I mean, have you taken anyone's safety into consideration? Especially yours?

Lefty (begins rubbing sticks together) Uh...riiiiiiight, riiiiiiight! Dat was my foist concoyn!

Tony: You do know that once Crazy Harry wakes up and notices some of his stuff is missing, he's going to tie you into a pretzel, right?

Lefty: Ah, I ain't worried. Once I show 'im how I set dese whatchamacallits off, he'll probably tink I'm some kinda wizard er sometin'! He'll be too amazed ta hoit me! Riiiiiiiiiiiight!

Tony: Okay, lecture time is through. You obviously don't want to listen to me, I'm wasting my time, do what you want.

Tony walks off.

Lefty: I will! (rubbing sticks) Hehehehehehehehehe...

Tony: What am I worried for? Guy's so stupid, he'll be here for the next two weeks trying to--

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM ! !

Tony leaps to the ground.

After a few moments, he picks up his head, looks up, and in the far, far distance, can barely make out a tan trenchcoat sailing through the air.

[AnimatedC9000]

Ailie: *watching Lips leave from her spot on the roof* Nya? O_o

Dr. Teeth: Well, yeah...that's what's gonna happen firs'...but they'll onleh come out at night.

Lips: *walking away to a certain spot, quietly humming a tune*

Caitlyn: ... But... I don' wanna drink blood. O_O I'll do anything but that!

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *shrugs and continues messing around on her drums*

Dr. Teeth: Ya have to...ya'll go insane if ya don'. O_O

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... *sighs* *watches the trenchcoat fluttering away in the distance*

Caitlyn: But... But... But I'm too nice to drink blood! O_O

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *watches the explosion contentedly*

Dr. Teeth: Yeah...but...er...have ya evah tasted it before?

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... Crazy Harry's in for one heck of a time.

Caitlyn: *scared* N-no, and I don't think I want to! *to self* Where's that antidote...?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *wants it to happen again*

Dr. Teeth: *shrugs innocently* I dunno...

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Why, so chaos will get even worse?

Caitlyn: I... I think the last time I had it was the night before I went to camp. Yes... Where could it be now, I wonder...?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Duh... =P

Dr. Teeth: Yeah, that's pretteh weird how it just vanished like that... =/

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *nods* ... wait a second, who is this?

Caitlyn: Well, I have been at camp for a few days... maybe it'll turn up again. *shrugs* I dunno.

[Winslow Leach]

Mr. Turtle, wearing his thick, horn-rimmed glasses, looks up from his Wall Street Journal, several minutes after the explosion. He looks to Crazy Harry's cot; the demolitions expert is sound asleep (yep, even through that ka-blooey); Mr. Turtle, realizing it was Lefty monkeying around, sighs, shakes his head, and goes back to his paper.

[WhiteRabbit]

Lips: *nods* ... wait a second, who is this?

Caitlyn: Well, I have been at camp for a few days... maybe it'll turn up again. *shrugs* I dunno.


Ailie: Um...a ghost... XP

Dr. Teeth: Maybeh... *almost inaudible* ...maybeh not...

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... All right, stop it... Whoever you are.

Caitlyn: *picking up Dr. Teeth's last commemt* Maybe not what? ... *concerned* Dr. Teeth, what's the matter?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Booooooo...

Dr. Teeth: *softly* Oh, nothang...

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: I know you're not a real ghost. Cut it out.

Caitlyn: Dr. Teeth... tell me what's wrong. Please... is there something wrong?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: =P *throws an acorn at Lips and walks back to the bus*

Dr. Teeth: Nah, there ain't nothang wrong. Honestleh...

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: AILIE! ... *sighs* Whatever. *hiccup*

Caitlyn: ... you sure about that? 'Cuz you can tell me... almost anything.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *climbs back onto the bus's roof*

Dr. Teeth: Chamberlame drank it! *gasps and covers his mouth* X_X

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *tosses the acorn up* *hiccup* *it lands on his head* -_-

Caitlyn: *gasps* Oh no, he di'int! >_> Where's that dummy? Why, when I see him again, I'm gonna-- *realizes something* remember that he's not comin' back... Brilliant... -_-

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *chewing on one of her cymbals*

Dr. Teeth: *hangs his head* >_>

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *hiccupping* O_o

Caitlyn: ... Dr. Teeth, can you help me get to the roof of the car? I need ta ask Ailie something.

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: Sure. *opens the moon roof and hoists her up through it*

Ailie: *stops biting* What's going on, Cait?

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Ailie, can I borrow the drums real quick? It's important.

Lips: *hiccups* *drops everything that he's holding at the moment*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Yesh... O_o But for what?

[Erine81981]

Grover: Did you have a wonderful birthday?

It was ok. I did get some neat stuff from Bryan, Big Bird, Ernie, Bert and Cookie Monster.

Murray: But we aleady saw those things. What did you get from your parents?

Nothing really. With them it's i'm to old for presents. I was spoused to go out with my sister the day of my birthday but she forgot that her kids had Gymnastic.

Murray: Ooooo me and Ovejita went there a few day ago.

I saw that. You and Ov-ej-it-a...did i say that right?

Murray: Yea.

But you and her were really good. I would love to be able to do that but being that i'm really big. Couldn't do it.

Murray: It's alright. *hugs*

Thanks Murray. I've got to gets some thank you cards and send them to Bryan and his roomies and one to the Ed and The Count. I'll be back.

Grover: Kyle really looks sad.

Murray: I know. We need to help him fell happy. *ding, cartoon light bulb appears over Murray's head* I've got an idea!

Grover: *wearing sunglasses* I can tell.

Murray: Come on.

Grover: *still wearing the glasses* Right behi...*falls over something*....ow.

[AnimatedC9000]

Ailie: Yesh... O_o But for what?

Caitlyn: Observe. *sits down at the drums and clears her throat* ... *starts to bang her head against the equipment*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: O_O Fun! *joins her* *hands her a cymbal* Eat?

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: No, BEAT! *resumes banging her head*

Lips: *walks back to the bus, toting a wagonload of things and still hiccupping*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: EAT! *bites into the cymbal again* *notices the sun setting* O_O Cait, you do know what happens when you become a...yeah...right?

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *confused* A...yeah...right? O_o What the hey are you talkin' 'bout, girl?

Lips: *opens the bus door* *hiccups*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: A vampire. Your eyes will redden and you'll act all seductive when you're trying to coax victims for their blood. O_O I don't know if you'll turn into a bat, though. *pulls a tight, black dress out of her drum case and hands it to her* But...ya gotta look the part...

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: O_O *isn't quite sure about any of this* ... Uh... *face turns reddish* The hey?

Lips: *inside the bus* *sets stuff down* What the *hiccup* is going on? ... *hiccup*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *morose* Well, don't you want to be one? =/ Then again, you don't have a choice because of Chamberlain...

Dr. Teeth: Uh...stuff...

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *under her breath* The stupid idiot! >_> *normal voice* ... *sighs* ... Can we at least go back to my room to change? I mean, the dorms aren't officially closed down yet, and...

Lips: ... Well, I brought most of our *hic* stuff out here so we don't have to *hiccup* it later.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Totally...but we better hurry... *keeping an eye on the sun*

Dr. Teeth: Thanks, man. Ya didn' have to do that. *smiles*

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Right. *jumps off the roof of the bus, landing unharmed* But I'm wearing a cloak over the outfit, and I want my make-up done!

Lips: It's no *hiccup* problem, really.

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Girl, you're gonna be one goy-geous vampire when I'm done with you. Don't worry. XP *leads her into Room 17 and motions for her to sit at the old mirror in her room*

Dr. Teeth: All righ' but I owe ya. ; )

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *sits down* *takes some calming breaths* Okay... *takes one more* I think I'm ready. Do your stuff.

Lips: *smiles* Great! *hiccup* Can you help me no-- *hiccup*!

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *starts working as fast and diligently as she can* *When she's finished, Cait looks very dark and seductive, almost like Vanessa from The Little Mermaid but with redder lips* So...what do you think? O_O *hands her the black dress with some red fishnets and high heels*

Dr. Teeth: Sure. *tries to think of some way to scare Lips* Imagine Kermit just fired ya.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: ... *breathe in... breathe out* I think I'm gonna get dressed. Be ready with the cloak. ... and, if you can find a way to play "Welcome To My Nightmare" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G240iVQSnUs), that'd be fine, too.

Lips: ... Zoot locked me in the World Showcase. ... *hiccup!*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Okies! By the way, you...look...HOT! O_O *clears throat* Ahem...I'll go back to the bus... XP Just remember, as soon as the moon hits you--everything will change...you'll step out of yourself. *crawls away*

Dr. Teeth: *thinks for a moment* Lips! Yer the wors' musician evah! Yer outta the band! *pauses* Did that scare the hiccups outta ya yet?

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: (unplugging stereo and record player, and fingering the cross hanging around her neck) Mother of Bram Stoker...we have a few Nosferatus on the premises.
Scooter: (taking down his posters) First werewolves, now this...do we have any garlic left?
Storyteller: (starting to dismantle hut) There are six braids of it in the kitchen. Have at it.
Beige: (packing up his rock fountain) And I've got a bunch of stakes left over from my security patrol days.
Nora: (filling a box with books) I forget...didn't van Helsing give Lucy the garlic, only to have her laugh at him and call him a fool?
Erin: "There is much protection to you in so common a flower..." I think that's how it went.
Storyteller: All this stemming from a story of a few mad princes in Romania.
Scooter: And it's kept many horror movie makers busy. (goes to kitchen, gets garlic and a ball of twine) Okay, everyone, hang some of this around your neck.
Beige: And here are the stakes. (drops them on the floor) And does anyone have a sun lamp or something?
Nora: There's a really high-powered lamp on my desk, use that.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *puts on the cloak over her outfit* *sighs* ... Welcome to my nightmare...
I think you're gonna like it...
I think you're gonna feel like you belong...
*somehow overhears the conversation* O_O *hides inside the closet*

Lips: O_O ... You and I both know that you wouldn't say that! *a little bit quieter* Zoot, maaybe... *laughs*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *crawling back on top of the bus roof, eagerly*

Dr. Teeth: *snickers* Yeah, maybeh...but hey! Ya stopped hiccupin'!

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: I'm gonna stay in here an' never come out! O_O

Lips: ... yesh, I guess I did! *looks out through the sun roof* Ailie? You still up there?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Um, yup... *keeping her eyes on the entrance*

Dr. Teeth: Where'd Cait go?

Ailie: ...um...er....

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... Ailie... tell us what's happening. *wakes Zoot and Marvin up* We need to know.

Caitlyn: *opens the closet just a little bit--big enough for a winged creature to fly out* *stays in the closet, trying to think of a safe way out*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: When Cait steps outside, she's going to become... O_o...o_O ...a vampire...

Dr. Teeth: O_O

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *mouth falls open gracefully* What.. did... you... say...?

Marvin: I was awaken for this?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *softly* She never got to have the antidote because stupid Chamberloser drank it. o_O

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: O_O ... Oh, my gosh! We gotta--we gotta--we gotta DO something!

Caitlyn: *closes eyes* *thinking "Think of flight, think of flight, think of flight..."* *after a while of doing this, a puff of smoke covers her up and a bat is in her place*

Bat-lyn: *looks at herself* *speaking the "bat language" while in bat form* Now this is more like it! *flies out of the closet and around the room* I can fly. *flies some more* I can fly! *flies towards the door* I CAN-- *hits the wall besides the door and falls to the ground* Crash. X_X

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: You guys stay here! I'll be right back... *climbs down the roof again and rushes inside to watch Cait turn back into her human-esque form as she hits the wall* Oh, gawd... *facepalm* Look, let's go outside...the sun hasn't set yet...

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: O_O *hides inside cloak, trying to look scarce* *peeks out to see that it's only Ailie* *sighs with relief* A-are you sure?

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Nora: Pass me the packing tape, will you?
Beige: Here ya go - (tape knocks over a vase) Oops.
Storyteller: (catching vase) Nice aim - how's everyone else doing?
Erin: My books, quilts and lava lamp are all packed. I'm going to work on the stereo.
Scooter: I've packed everything except my clothes, sheets, guitar and telescope.
Storyteller: (glancing at watch) Let's take a break...how about brownies a la mode, with raspberries on top.
Beige: Now you're talking! (swoons)

(a few moments later, gang settles in box-cluttered common room, holding plates with brownies topped with vanilla ice cream and raspberries)

Nora: (looking up) What's that fluttering noise?
Scooter: Sounds like a bat...maybe the Count's pals are out on patrol.
Beige: No...doesn't sound like one of the Count's bats.
Erin: Everyone got their garlic and crosses on?
Storyteller: And turn your collars up!

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Positive, mistress. XP *leads her out*

Zoot: *wakes up* Huh? What'd I miss?

At least ten seconds after Cait and Ailie step out, the sun sinks behind the trees...

Ailie: ...crap.

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: O_O Oh no. *covers herself with her cloak* Help me!

Lips: *calm* Oh, nothing... *a little more worried* Cait's just turning into a vampire, that's all!

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Oh, that's nice-wha--? !

Ailie: I can't! I don't know what to do! X_X

The moon rises slowly...shining against Cait's face like a spotlight...

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: You heard me! We've gotta take action! *to Dr. Teeth* Hey, you know about being a vampire. Is there anything we can do? O_O

Caitlyn: *raises the cloak to her face and runs to hide in the shadow of a tree* Ailie! Make a run for it!

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Does anybody have a stake?

Dr. Teeth: O_O N-no...and we're not usin' a stake eithah!

Ailie: *darts*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... I was afraid of that. We'll have to-- O_O The door! *moves to close the bus door* The windows! ... Zoot! Close the windows!

Caitlyn: *takes a few deep breaths in and out* *closes her eyes* *steps out into the moonlight* ... All right. Do your worst. *opens eyes in the moonlight* *her eyes become red, her skin more pale, and fangs start to grow*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: They are closed, stupid. =/ Will you mellow out? We've already got one vampire around? *motions to Dr. Teeth* How much worse could having two be?

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *looks at Dr. Teeth* How much worse could having two vampires around be? I need to know. O_O

Caitlyn: *quickly turns into a bat and flies towards the bus*

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: Well--

Zoot: Look, he's been a vampire for a while now. So he has a better control on his "urges." Whereas Cait, it might be a little harder... =/

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... Okay. *to Dr. Teeth* Anything else? Any major differences that we need to know about?

Marvin: Ho-hum... *leans back, tired*

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: I-er...just beh careful aroun' her. Ya'll see how her personaliteh will change...but don' give her an inch...

Zoot: What d'you mean? Will she try to trick us into sucking our blood?

Dr. Teeth: ...yeah.

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... fair enough. Now... are there any differences between a vampire and a vampiress? Besides gender.

Muppaphone: What is this, 20 Questions or somethin'? O_o

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: Yeah, there are but fer now, just cool it, Lips. =P

Zoot: *smirks*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: I'm... I'm trying to, but... I... I...

Muppaphone: *makes a "cuckoo" sound, motioning to Lips*

Caitlyn-bat: *hangs upside down on a branch of a nearby tree, waiting for her victims to come out*

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: *shakes his head at Lips* Can ya guys make sure he doesn' do anythang rash? I'm gonna go look fer Cait...

Zoot: Sure thing, man. =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Marvin: Whatever. *sits the trumpet player down*

Lips: *repeating "I" over and over*

Caitlyn: *picks up that somebody is going to be heading out soon* *flies ahead into the forest to meet him*

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: *strides outside* Hey Cait! Cait? *glances around*

Ailie: *screams, running past him and onto the bus*

Dr. Teeth: O_o

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *screams as Ailie enters the bus* *hides beneath the seat, almost scared to death* O_O

Marvin: *rolls eyes*

Caitlyn: *lands behind a tree and reverts back to her human form (or close-to-human form, anyway)* *quickly moves to hide so nobody can suspect her of anything*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: ...*calmly* What's up, guys? XP

Dr. Teeth: Cait?

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *pokes his head out froom under the seat* Ailie! X(

Caitlyn: *lets her cloak hang around her loosley* *moves out from behind the tree, leg first* *in a slightly more mature voice than her regular one (this is more than likely her vampiric [is that even a word?] voice)* You rang?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: What'd I do? =P

Dr. Teeth: O_O *glances up and gasps at the transformation*

[Erine81981]

*comes back confused* What in the world is going on here?

Ailie: What'd I do? =P

Dr. Teeth: O_O *glances up and gasps at the transformation*

Lips: *crawling out from under the seat* Scared me half to death, for one.

Caitlyn: *completely calm* You seem surprised to see me. *walks towards the keyboardist*

[WhiteRabbit]

Lips: ... wo-ma-- Caitlyn? Is she all right? O_O

Caitlyn: <33 I'd thought you'd never ask. So, where shall we go to first?

Dr. Teeth: Hm... *takes her by the hand* C'mon... *finds the silver car Ailie first came to the dorms in and breaks it open* I think I can hotwiah this thang... *the engine turns on* Get in, baby. We got lots of stops...

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: I'm worried... For Dr. Teeth, and for Caitlyn...

Caitlyn: *slips into the passenger seat* Ready when you are, handsome. <33

[WhiteRabbit]

Dr. Teeth: *beams* Readeh!

Zoot: Why? I'm sure they won't hurt any-- *watches the car speed past the bus* O_O ..er...

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *sits up* Huh? What's going on?

Marvin: ... I don't'a t'ink you want to know. O_O

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *wearing huge glasses and waving around a fake cane* Gehhhhh...let them youngsters have their fun!

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... O_o

Marvin: *backs away from Ailie*

Lips: ... I'll go set up the TV and the video player. *starts to do so*

Marvin: I'll make the popcorn. *orders Muppaphones to make the popcorn*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Who said you could watch the movie, Marvin? =P *pulls a different TV out for him and forces him to watch Barney* MWAHAHAHAHAHA! SUFFER!

[AnimatedC9000]

Marvin: X_X

Lips: *finished setting up everything and catches a glimpse of what Ailie's making Marvin go through* O_O ... wow...

Muppaphones: *some back with a lot of popcorn and some sodas*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *whacks Marvin with the other TV* YAH! *crawls back onto her chair and waits contentedly*

Zoot: So when are BeetleJuice and Lydia coming back? =P

Ailie: Me no know...but those are fitting nicknames. XPPP

[AnimatedC9000]

Marvin: *passes out onto the floor* X_X

Muppaphones: *start to hand out the treats*

Lips: ... So, what moive do you guys wanna watch?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: I dare you to say it 3 times, Zoot. =P

Zoot: No way! *to Lips* I dunno...what do you want to watch?

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Well, most of the movies that both groups own are out here.

Muppaphone: *reads a DVD cover* "Full House": Season 4? O_o We have this?

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: EW! Not Full House! I've seen less cheese in my Nana's lasagna. X_X

Zoot: Aw, it's not that bad, Ailie--wait...yeah, it is... =/ Got anything else, Lips?

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Like I said, we have a lot of movies out here. That includes most of whatever films you guys own.

Muppaphone: We hardly watch TV, anyway...

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: *rummaging through her DVDs* Let's see...Beavis and Butthead or Tales from the Crypt? Ooh...South Park's in here too...the muppaphones can't watch it, though. It's a bit innappropriate.

Zoot: *facepalm* A bit?

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *facepalm* This is getting us nowhere. Any ideas, Zoot?

A few Muppaphones: *looking at the first three seasons of The Muppet Show*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *messing around in the pile of tapes* Still looking...ew, no way am I watching Strawberry Shortcake...

Ailie: Pfft...you know you secretly love it, Zoot. =P How about The Nightmare Before Christmas?

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: Caitlyn's always said that she actually wanted to own that DVD. I think she's watched it once before...

Muppaphones: Yeah!

Some female Muppaphones: *start fangirling over Jack*

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Woot! *shoves it into the dvd player* <33333 I call the role of Sally! ! !

Zoot: *calls the role of that swamp thing* =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: I call-- ... darn it, I don't know who. X_X Any ideas?

Young Muppaphone (the same one from the other night): I call Zero!

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: You can be the bag of bugs! =P

Ailie: *poking Lips* Oogie Boogie! You totally are him!

Zoot: I know, right? =P

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *facepalm* Why do I have to be the villain?

Muppaphone: Since Marvin's knocked out, duh! =P

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Doy! =P *sighs* If only Dr. Teeth were still around, he could be Jack... <333

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... Where did they go, anyway?

Muppaphone: Ya mean you really wanna know? O_o

[WhiteRabbit]

Ailie: Probably blood hunting... *rests her head in her hand*

Zoot: *falling asleep*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: ... I wish... I wish that both of them were here...

Muppaphones: *running around, re-enacting TNBC on their own*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *poking his head out of the bus's window and sees the car speeding back in the distance* O_O

Ailie: *her face lights up as the vehicle screeches to a halt*

Dr. Teeth: *jumping out and opening Cait's door for her*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *looks out the window to see the car* O_O

Caitlyn: *steps out of the car and kisses the keyboardist on the cheek*

Marvin: *still knocked out* X_X

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Okay, guys...when they come inside, act natch... *leans back, fixing his swamp thing costume*

Ailie: *starts brushing her hair*

Dr. Teeth: *about to board the bus but stops* After ya, Caitlyn... *grins and steps aside*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *picks up his drawing pad and a pencil and starts to work on an imaginary drawing*

Caitlyn: Thank you. *steps inside the bus* *glances behind her, possibly checking to see if the keyboardist will follow her in*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *pretending to look surprised to see her* Oh, Cait! How was the..."errands?"

Ailie: *trying to look mellow*

Dr. Teeth: *climbs on after her*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *looking up from his "drawing"* Yeah, how were they?

Caitlyn: Well... *moving so that the group on the bus can actually see her* I wouldn't exactly call them "errands". More like... going out of our way to help society. *to Dr. Teeth* Isn't that right, dear?

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *swallowing, trying not to seem freaked out* Oh...I uh, see...

Dr. Teeth: Ya said it, baby-- *noticing Ailie dressed up like Sally* O_O

Ailie: *gives him a small smile before lowering her long, doll-like eyelashes*

[AnimatedC9000]

Lips: *ditto with him* Yeah... *hides back behind the drawing pad... six seats back from where he was*

Caitlyn: *glances at Dr. Teeth... then at Ailie* ... A-hem!

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Well, that's good you had...uh, fun...

Dr. Teeth: *smiling dreamily back at the blonde* O_o *Cait knocks him out of his daze* Yes, sweet thang?

Ailie: *inclines her head*

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *about to reply to Dr. Teeth, but then hears Zoot* *to Dr. Teeth* One second, honey. *to the sax player* Oh, thank you. I'm sure you would've had fun, too.

Lips: Uh... yes, you're probably right... *shoots a nervous glance at Zoot*

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *muttering under his breath* Yeah, right...

Dr. Teeth: *flashes Ailie a bright smile while Cait's distracted*

Ailie: *returns it, feeling her heart flutter*

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *thinks of something* ... Zoot, why do we never talk together anymore? I missed those times when we would just sit and talk. *starts to move towards the sleepy musician*

Lips: O_O *quickly draws a sign that flashes "Warning! Warning!"

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *nodding at Lips* I'm not much of a talker to be honest, Cait... =P *casually takes Casino Royale out of the pile of DVDs on the floor and starts admiring the cover* <33333 Oh, Daniel...

Ailie: *motions for the good doctor to sit next to her* <333

Dr. Teeth: *mouthing 'In a sec...'*

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: Well, why not? We used to have the most interesting conversations. *now standing between Zoot's seat and the aisle*

Lips: *quietly to self* O_O He's gonna die...

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Ha! Like your toe fungus? =P

Ailie: O_O ...cool...

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: I don't know what on earth you're talking about! I was thinking about the time we talked about... geraniums.

Lips: *quietly to self* If he keeps going on like this...

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: *smirking* That's an interesting conversation? =P Whatever you say...

Dr. Teeth: *sneaks past the others to sit beside Ailie*

[AnimatedC9000]

Caitlyn: *sits down beside him* Yes... whatever you say... *tilts his hat downward and smirks*

Lips: *to self* We're doomed!

[WhiteRabbit]

Zoot: Hey! Hey! Back off, sister! Or you'll feel the wrath of James Bond! *whacks her with the DVD case*

Dr. Teeth: Zoot! O_o *mildly concerned...sort of*
