Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[Skeeter Muppet]

I bet! I mean, tell the truth, how many lunches a day do they have?

Boober: Hey, we're Fraggles, not hobbits!
Kim: Down, Boober. Eh, offhand I'd say one or two. And that's not counting the intermittent snacking. Fortunately I keep the refrigerator stocked with plenty of Doozer sticks.

-Kim

Lol, you've got me, Boober, that's exactly what I was thinking too. "Second Breakfast" is more of a Hobbit thing. Btw, Boober, you're my favorite Fraggle.

...Don't the Doozer sticks get a bit frozen in the frig? Or are they better that way?

 

[Skeeter Muppet]

Tosh: They wouldn't get frozen in the fridge, they'd get frozen in the freezer.
Boober: Actually refrigerated Doozer sticks keep better than ones stored at room temperature, I've found. They last longer. Same with ordinary radishes.
Kim: The things you learn when rooming with Fraggles...heh.

I see! Ever consider trying...beats? "They're nature's candy don't ya know!"

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: Oh, I have at least four lunches a day, five if I need an extra burst of energy for a ten-part epic.
Nora: Beets? Nature's candy? (winces a bit) Never really liked beets, actually.
Erin: But they do stain the dishes a nice magenta color, you have to admit.

clock starts to chime:

Joe: Hey, everyone, we've got to get going, it's getting a tad late...good night, Don, and how about we do a couple duets some time?
Jerry: Good night, Fraggles, and I'll drop in again soon. Tosh, tell your Beast I said hello.
(Don Sahlin departs, but without setting off more firecrackers)
Eren: My, my...we do know how to go over the top when we all get together...
(in another part of the common room)
Richard:...thanks, you too, Beaker...Scooter, old pal, it's great to see you again, tell that old goat you've got for an uncle I said "Your face"...happy birthday, Janice, and can I have a kiss...yes, thank you...Don, my man, don't ever change, okay?
Jim: Excellent party, everyone...and we'll be back on the 24th of next month, hmm? (starts to fly off)
Christine: Richard, are you coming?
Richard: One moment - guys, I had a swell time, thanks a lot. (does one final fly around the room, to thank everyone, and pauses to rub shoulders with the RHLC crew)
Erin: Glad to hear it, Richard, it was the least we could do...does it scare you to know that you would have been 56 this year?
Richard: (wincing slightly) A little. See you again, soon. (flies off)

Nora: Wow...should we clean up?
Erin: No, we'll do it in the morning.

 

[CensoredAlso]

Eh yeah, cleaning up is for the next morning!

Aw, goodnight everyone who's leaving! Glad you liked the party, Richard! Thanks for taking a moment for us.

I think I posted this somewhere else already, but I just adore this clip! Lol Only Richard could do the perfect monster lullaby.

Tosh: I will, Jerry! Bye!
(before Richard leaves)
Kim: Glad you could hang with us tonight, Richard. *slips something into his hand* Anytime you want to stop by our room and have a listen to that, feel free. Door's always open.
Richard: Thanks, I will, but I think you'd better hang onto it for me. *hands back a CD of James Taylor's best songs* And don't let Gillis get too high-and-mighty on you.
Gillis: I heard that!
Kim: *grinning* Don't worry. Between me, Tosh, Boober and Betty Lou, we're capable of keeping him in line. (after he leaves) Well, let's head back to the room, guys.
Gillis: Yes, you still need to finish chapter one of your story, don't you? The one you said you were going to post sometime this evening...?
Kim: One, it's still twenty minutes until its tomorrow. And two, what did I say about nagging me?
Roomies: Do it as often as possible.
Kim: *turns and looks at them* ...Richard told you to say that, didn't he?
Boober: Yeah, pretty much.

[The Count]

Downstairs in Room #1, Ed is awakened by soft purring. He thinks it's Fatatatita wanting him to get her some breakfast, but she's still asleep in her own little bed. Then where's...
The outline of a fetching female feline form can be seen, slunk and snoozing in the corner of the couch in the center of the room. Her duffelbag slung over her shoulder accenting her alure, she can be heard humming a few snatches of "Dream a Little Dream of Me" while the tips of her tousled brownish hair swirl in the amiable breeze beneath the oscillating spider fan.
Wanda, as her eyes open slowly but surely: Mmm... Morning already, oh hi Ed, wondered when you'd notice...
OMG! So sooorry Wanda. Did the Count see to you last night? Was a bit busy what with that mammoth project...
Wanda: Yeah, got in OK after Beth left. She spies the slice of birthday cake and is hesitant to ask, belied by a pang in the pit of her stomach and those melting kitty-cat eyes. Um, would you mind...
Of course not. Compliments of Erin, dig in.
Wanda: Thank you messieur.
Picked up a few mannerisms from Piggy?
Wanda: It's hard not to. We live together here at the dorms, at the boarding house, at the theater... Though I like it here with Beth the best.
Yep, she's a great person. Whadda ya say we wait for the Count to get up and have a late breakfast/early lunch at Everybody Eats.
Wanda, purring softly and contentedly this time: I'd say you know how to make a gal feel welcome.
*In Kermit voice: Oh good. Just make yourself comfy and we'll leave in a coupla hours or so.
Wanda devours the piece of cake after it's been offered to her, observing ladylike propriety yet taking a few bites that might belong to her furry blue roommate, as Ed goes off to wash up and get ready for the coming day.

(Night before Richard left)

Beaker: *Sniffles* Mee!

Claudia: Wow, in his 50's right now...bye Mr. Hunt...

Beaker: *Hugs Richard lovingly*

Bunsen: *Looking sincere*

Peepers: *Silent and not biting Bunsen's nose for once*

Beaker: Byebye! *Sniffles*

----

(Today)

Beaker: Meep *Carrying a picture of Richard reverently in his hands*

Claudia: Hey buddy...

Peepers: *Snuggles on his side*

Bunsen: Hello there..

Beaker: Mee.

Claudia: *Huggles him tightly*

....

Peepers: UMF! *Bites Bunsen's nose*

Bunsen: OH DEAR! GET HIM OFF! GET HIM OFF!

(night before, back in room 7)

(Nora and Storyteller have since turned in; Erin is up having her usual mug of chamomile tea)

(voice at window): Can't sleep, Erin?
Erin: What? (turns) Oh, hi, Richard. (laughs softly) I'm wired - and chamomile's the only thing that'll get me to sleep most of the time.
Richard: Yeah, warm milk and counting sheep are overrated. No offense to the sheep. (floats in) I just wanted to stop and say thanks again; the cake was delicious.
Erin: Thanks - I've never made it before. And I hope you weren't too upset when I said you would have been 56?
Richard: (leans in, gives her a hug) No, no...heck, look at Jim, he'd have been 71! I'm just a kid compared to him! (pause) I also saw the rest of the AIDS quilt block...it looks great.
Erin: (returning hug) Thanks...it looked pretty good in the photo. (explosion outside) Sounds like Don's still on the loose.
Richard: Yeah, I'd better go rein him in. Good night, and enjoy your tea. (flies off)

(next morning)

Nora: (yawn) Is it just me, or did we have a ghost in the kitchen last night?
Erin: Yeah, Richard stopped in for a chat.
Nora: Nice...and I thought I heard fireworks going off?
Erin: Oh, please, it was just a hug...(Nora starts giggling uncontrollably)...oh, wait, you mean Don. Yeah, he was still at large.
Storyteller: Ah, well, what can you do...so, we need to go downstairs and help clean up...but we'll eat first, of course.
