Ru: Hey guys--Kathy's back! Everything went well and I heard she's getting settled in. Robin already went back up so he'd be there when she arrived. I made molasses cookies and strawberry-lemonade punch, so let's all go up and welcome her back.
Piggy: Ooh! A party! I must find something ravishing to wear!
(Ru and Kermit exchange horrified glances.)
Kermit: Oh, but, um Piggy--you look wonderful like you are!
Piggy: Oh, vous are so sweet to say so! It is true, but vous are still sweet to say so!
(Behind Piggy's back, Ru makes "keep-going" motions to Kermit.)
Kermit: Um, well, it isn't just me that thinks so! Er, Fozzie thinks you look great in that outfit, too.
Fozzie: I do? (He makes an "oof" as Kermit elbows him.) I mean I do.
Kermit: Yeah--see there! And I know Gonzo thinks so.... (He is not that thrilled about enlisting Gonzo to compliment Piggy--there has been some tension in the apartment because of Gonzo's glib tongue, but in this case, Gonzo does not exploit the opportunity.)
Gonzo: You look lovely, Piggy, and Kathy will be so anxious to see you after being away for so long. You've never been one to keep your public waiting too long....
Piggy: (basking in all the attention) Well, I suppose one must sacrifice for one's fans. Let's go, peeps.
Ru: (relieved) Great! Rizzo--shut the door behind you, Sweetie!

Hi everyone! hugging them all Oh Piggy ..you look absolutely beautiful! Even more than usual! ing at Kermit ,Ru, Fozzie etc. over Piggy's shoulder. My goodness everything looks so tasty! I was supposed to be dieting in the hospital. Now that I can't walk around much for a while . I'll have to think of another way to exercise. So Ru and Piggy I'll have to show you a picture of my neurosurgeon I'll be seeing in about 2 weeks. He's GOOD looking!

Robin: Mom.. too bad your hair is growing back in so quickly.

Oh trust me...I'm glad about this! I hate having part of my head shaved! Why? What were you thinking?

Robin: Well...I was going to say that you could have "Robin's Mom" shaved into your head .
Oh Robin! laughing First of all honey...as you said my hair is growing back .So after a while no one would see it. Second of all, silly frog, what do you call this picture in my locket ? opening it gently to show him a heart shaped picture of him and me
Robin: I..um.. take back what I said about you getting your head shaved again.

Thought you would.

 

[The Count]

*Sends a message up to Apt 7.:

Hi Ailie, sorry that we haven't had time for fun lately. The entire month's been crazy hectic. Hope you and your roomies are okay. The pool's always open if Spammy wants to keep up her lifeguard spot. Pew's welcome to come to the club, just like the rest of the band if Teeth or Zoot feel like dropping by for a spot. Happy birthday wishes in advance to Spamela tomorrow and Sam on the 4th. If I've gotten those dates confused, please forgive as we rully need a birthday coordinator for the townhouse.

Anyway, hope you're okay and have a groovy summer.

Your friends from Apt 1.
*Adds a package of Oreos, already having been sated with some pieces of guava tartlet.

The girls and I return from Hensonville Mall . Prairie is arguing with Rosita
Prairie :Why didn't you want me to come into the jewelry store with you?

Rosita: Prairie...what's in in a couple of weeks?

Prairie: My birthday....ohhhh....okay....gotcha!! Sorry!

To Chef I should have stopped at one! Well technically Robin's not mine but he knows that he can be punished if he mouths off at me. Kermit and his parents gave me permission. These 2 are too old .

Chef in little kid voice Mummy? whut did yu get me frum der store? Mummy? I wunt loonch!

VERY funny!

 

[The Count]

*Count arrives back in the Countmobile also.

Oh hey, groceries are here. C'mon Cookie, let's help bring everything inside.
You think Count remember to stock up on chocolate?
Sure hope so, I need some to quell those awful acid attacks that hit in the night.
UD: Did he pass up the Luxovice Lightweight Bars?
Yes... No way are we eating that stuff and empowering Resorbius. Good ol' Snickers for me.
I'm partial to the Hershey's Milk Chocolate bars.
Oh? And why that?
UD: Because he brakes them up counting out the twelve pieces as he eats them one by one.

*All laugh while packing away the goods before enjoying a late lunch.

 

[Ruahnna]

(Ru and Fozzie are sitting at the kitchen table. Tears are streaming down Fozzie's face, and Ru shoots him a look of sympathy.)
Ru: I'm sorry, Sweetie. It'll be over soon.
Fozzie: (wiping his streaming eyes) I know. I know. It's just...hard...right now.
Ru: (eyes tearing up) C'mon--you're going to be fine. Just keep a grip on, okay? (She reaches out and grasps his arm in an encouraging manner and he nods resignedly. They are quiet for a few moments, but look up when Kermit comes in the kitchen. he pauses uncertainly in the doorway, looking from one tear-stained face to another.)
Kermit: Is...is everything, um, okay?
Fozzie: Oh sure, Kermit.
Kermit: (not convinced) I...I could go out and leave you guys alone.... (He starts to turn away.)
Ru: (cheerily) Stop right there! Just because you aren't helping me cut up onions for homemade onion rings doesn't mean you get a free ride for dinner. Check the rice pudding, won't you?
Kermit: (grinning) Sure thing. (He lifts the lid and lets out a happy exclamation.) Ooh! Are those...are those--
Ru: Dates, sweetie.
Kermit: (disappointed but trying to cover) Oh. Dates.
Ru: (Taking the bowl of onions to the sink, to Fozzie's great relief.) Sorry, Kermit. I thought I'd better stick with the more traditional embellishment. I could whip you up a batch with brown beetles later....
Kermit: No. No. Dates are nice, too.
Piggy: (coming into the kitchen) Sometimes they're nice. (She kisses Kermit on the cheek when he smiles at her and breezes over to the fridge to get out a chilled water.) Ugh--what's that smell?
Ru: Onions, Honey. Better stay back or your mascara will run.
Piggy: (batting her eyes coquettishly) Moi is not wearing mascara. (Her own lashes are thick and dark.) What on earth do you need that many onions for?
Fozzie: Homemade onion rings!
Piggy: Ooh! Moi loves homemade onion rings. But still.... (She looks at the two large bowls of raw onions.)
Ru: (wiping her hands on her apron) Oh, well, I thought I'd make a few extra, you know, in case, um, someone drops by, um, unexpectedly....
(Piggy rolls her eyes but Kermit laughs and walks over to give Ru a hug.)
Kermit: Still cooking for Big Mean Carl?
Ru: Er, maybe....
Fozzie: I don't think he's planning to eat any of us any more.
Ru: I know. I just...well, he always seems sortof, um, I don't know--
Kermit: Hungry?
Fozzie: Scary?
Piggy: Disgusting?
Ru: (quietly, sighing) Yes.
(They grin at her, then Fozzie brightens.)
Fozzie: Well, good thing you're making a lot, right?
Ru: Right! Here--somebody hand me the batter from the second shelf in the fridge....

 

[The Count]

Meanwhile... The scare crew finish watching The Addams Family as the third of this week's planned fright films.

Tomorrow's the big night.
UD: Yes, a visit once again to our favorite holiday clash.
And this Halloween marks its 20th anniversary.
Still haven't heard from the guys at WDW if there'll be a celebration event, should maybe send them another email about that.

*sniff, sniff: Hey, what that?
Oh, I heard Aunt Ru was chopping up raw onions for some homemade rings.
UD: I've heard that if you put them in the freezer for half an hour before you plan on using them, they lose the effectiveness of their lacrimogenous aspect. Don't know if it works though.
Heh, raw onions aren't that bad, Mom uses them for serenata, that big codfish and tuber/vegetable meal.

* plays a sweep on the organ as the rest of us get ready for bed.

Rosita: Still.. Prairie and I used to talk at night when neither of us could sleep.

Rosita puts a goodbye note in Apt 1 and leaves .

 

[The Count]

*Receives the Goodbye note.

Well, I hope Rosita waited inside in the lobby for her parents, it's been raining at storm-level all day long.
*Uncle D at the organ starts playing "Saying Goodbye".
At least ve'll still see Rosita when she comes to wisit for future events or the annual trip back home to the street.
*Ed makes some hot chocolate with the choc chips bought at the supermarket yesterday, offers to send some to Apt 2 for Kathy and her remaining roomies.
