[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia:
*Allows a mischevious grin to creep on her lips*
ALLLLEEEEEEEEEEXXX! HEEEHEEEHEEE!
*Skips away to her room*

Bunsen:
Claudia, don't start now...
*Shakes head*

---

Claudia:
*Dramatically opens her door and
gets inside before closing it swiftly*

Alex, a little Scientist told me he heard Kyle confess!
*Sits on her bed bluntly and gets her hand*
Now, I brought some nail polish and some horrifyingly girly accesories so
that I may investigate! Get a closer look! Whip out the old microscope!

While we talk!

*Giggles*
Claudia can see!
Alex should tell me!

orI'llpummelyouintogalburger.

KIDDING!

*Hyperactive*

I even brought doughnuts!
Gals day out!

Nora: (coming back) How's Scooter?
Beige: Still sick. Erin just took him off to the doctor.
Nora: Oh, no...Mrs. Farley's been pestering me about whether my flu shots are up to date.
Storyteller: This might be something different.
Nora: I just hope he's going to be okay...and what was Bunsen doing here?
Beige: Trying to offer his services as a doctor.
Storyteller: And Beaker immediately went off with Erin and Scooter.
Nora: I don't blame him. Now, has anyone seen my copy of "La Peste," by Camus?

(meanwhile, at Dr. Prell's office, Scooter is undergoing tests, while Erin waits in the hallway, and Beaker sits in the waiting room reading magazines)

 

[Gloat]

*Gloat is wandering around the common room, looking for something*

Gloat: Hmmmm, im sure i put it here somewhere....

Boppity: *walks up* What are you looking for?

Gloat: ..... I cant remember

Boppity: Well i can help you look

Gloat: *smiles* I think it had something to do with Adam

Boppity: Coffee?

Gloat: No

Boppity: CDs?

Gloat: No, but its definately something!

*searching entire common room*

Bryan: (calls Kathy) Hi Kath! I wanted to thank you for the medicine you sent the other day. It helped. I'm at Hooper's right now and will be home a bit later. Big Bird had some big story to tell me about some amazing thing that happened the other day at the dorms. Know anything about it? Oh well, I guess I'll find out later.

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Storyteller: They've been gone for an hour.
Beige: Wonder if the doctor was able to find out what happened?

(voices in the hallway)
Erin: Bye, Beaker. Take care, all right?
(door opens; Erin enters, carrying Scooter)
Nora: Erin? Is he okay?
Erin: I'll tell you in a sec. Let me get Scooter back to his room. (does so)
Beige: It's the Pebble Pox, I know it.
Erin: (re-enters) No, it isn't. According to Dr. Prell, Scooter's come down with the Toast Flu.
Storyteller: The Toast Flu? What the heck is that?
Erin: It's a particularly nasty airborne flu strain that mainly affects Muppets. And Dr. Prell says she'd just seen the same thing in some kids that Scooter often plays basketball with, so that's probably how he got it.
Nora: Is he going to be okay?
Erin: He's going to be all right in a week. It's a virus, so it has to run its course. But Dr. Prell gave him some medicines to deal with the symptoms, and prescribed bed rest and plenty of fluids.

Note: "Toast" is the term for when a Muppet's foam core is so badly degraded that it needs to be rebuilt. I borrowed the term for Scooter's illness, because it sounded like something that would make a Muppet sick.

Hey Bry! You're welcome & I'm glad you're feeling better.
From what I heard from Big Bird,he got a postcard from his Mexican cousin Abelardo,and he needs help from Rosita in understanding it since it's all in Spanish. I'd do it myself,but my Spanish is rusty.

 

[Katzi428]

overhearing Erin & Nora's conversation about Scooter's illness Oh boy...Prairie...Rosita...come here please.
Rosita:I'm here.
Prairie: Me too. What's the matter?
Girls...Scooter's sick.
Prairie:Oh no! Poor Scooter!I'll make him some soup or Jello.
Hold on Prairie...you can't. He has the Toast Flu.
Rosita: Did he eat too much toast?
No.It...uh....oh gosh..how am I going to say this without offending you both? It affects Muppets like you.
Prairie:Oh dear....will all of us have to be quarantined?
I don't know.I'll found out from Erin. calling Erin but no answer. Darn...I guess she'll call back later.

 

[The Count]

*Returning from errands and a little lunch at Friendly's where we had some good classic burgers and pepper-flavored French fries.

UD: *After hearing the news... Mmm, it seems the gofer's in for it now, one foot practically in the grave.
The phantomly dragon says his last line with the hopes of instilling some humor, though it was without malice.
Count: Perhaps ve should start on that soup you mentioned Ed?
Me: Yes... Good thing we also stopped off at Hooper's to get the ingredients.

OK Count, you get the water boiling for the eggs, and Deadly you slice up the frozen garbanzo beans in half. We'll add some pumpkin broth and sweet golden corn, I think Scooter likes those best.
*All three set to busying themselves in the kitchen area of the underground common room, helping each other out weighing and measuring liquids for the potent potable.

Hey guys. How you been without me?

Beaker:

Meeemeee.

Claudia:

*Smiles and sees Dr. Van Neuter*

Dr. Van Neuter:

No, you hang up. Me? Nooo...not to my honeywoney!
Aw, Mrs Neuter shouldn't growl that way.
Philly loves you, yes he does.
No, I love you more.

*Faint growling in the phone*

Sweetie-pie!...naughty naughty.

ushy gushy love! AWW!

calamari....

I love you, baby.

MUA!

Claudia:
*Face going green*
Mushy...mushy...EWWWW!

Bunsen:
*Shakes head at Claudia's comment*
You'll end up exchanging pet names too.
*Continues to do the usual*

Claudia:
Whateva!

Beaker:
*Admires the mushiness*

 

[The Count]

The Count ladles three heaping helpings of good-time goomba garbanzo soup with slices of hard-boiled eggs, sweet corn, and small pieces of killbasa sausage into a bowl for Scooter. He then proceeds to serve four additional bowls to their brims with the soup, loads it on a tray and commends the carry-out platter with a concealed serving dish of amaretto biscotis bought at the Food for Thought supermarket to Uncle Deadly. Our fiendly phantom promptly delivers the breathing broth to Room #7, knocks on the door, and hands the meal into Erin's hands with a blessing to Scooter's betterment.

The occupants of Room #1 adjourn to enjoy a sampling of their soup, with garlic salted tostones while Ed works on some ritings for class, sipping at the soup between work-stops, attempting to get his assignment done on time for the morrow.
