Hey Cookie. Cookie? Wait, that mean Beth's here too?
*Hears an excitable Fraggle in the pool. Yep, Beth's here. Good, I'm glad when she makes herself known as still with us.

*Uncle D serves a cup of potato salad for himself, Count gets the shrimp one we brought, and I get a bit of help with the cole slaw.
*We move down the table and call out for two batburgers for the spooks and some ribs for me.
*The spooks get refills for their plastic glasses, Count remembering to grab a bottle of Sprite for Ed.

Once we get inside :

Robin: Can't I sleep in my bathing suit?
No.You'll get a very unpleasant rash where it doesn't belong. It'll take 2 minutes to change.
Robin yawns: OK and goes to change into his pajamas and brush his teeth. Then he comes back in his room and climbs into bed

Kermit: Hey Ru, hey Fozzie. Have you seen my--mmm! (sniffing) What's that you're eating, Fozzie?
Fozzie: Um, banana bread, toasted, with butter and honey.
Kermit: Oh, wow.
Ru: Have a seat, honey. You want you're lightly toasted or darkly, um, toasted?
Kermit: Medium, I guess. (Goes to the fridge and gets a glass of strawberry swamp soda, pops the lid and takes a drink.)
Fozzie: Those things any good?
Kermit: Um, not bad. (Makes a scrunchy face at the label.) Says it will take you right back to the swamp.
Ru: And...?
Kermit: I'm not buying it. I'm still right here in the middle of the budget stuff.
(Ru puts a big stack of banana-bread toast in front of him.)
Ru: Here's honey, butter and grubella.* It's strictly self-serve from here, Kerm.
Kermit: (Tucking in.) Or course, right here has it's advantages.
(At that precise moment, Piggy sweeps into the kitchen in a cloud of perfume, wearing a strapless sundress and cute little sandals. She air kisses Ru, who hands her a plate of toasted bread.)
Piggy: Thank you, mon ange. (She turns and looks at the boys.) Afternoon, mon amis.
Fozzie: Yep--here has it's advantages.
Kermit: Ummmm

*Grubella is sortof like Nutella--sortof.

*Stepping into our apartment's living room, bathed and dressed.

Hey guys, what's on the agenda for today?
UD: Got another chapter in.
*Marks his place before biting into his toasted bagel with booberry jam.
Good, we'll go over it soon.
Count: We've also the Japanese yokai to examine, who's up for addition and whatnot.
Hexcellent. That reminds me, I've gotta contact Ru after reading her latest release.
BTW: Heard from Erin, she might be coming back with her usual roomies soon.
*Bites into a piece of toasted bagel with scream cheese.
Count: That's good, she's busy what with working at the town's newspaper and getting a first-hand look at the BC riots.
*Spreads a bit of blackberry preserves onto his sesame-seeded bagel before munching.

Kermit: Thanks for the snack, Ru. Do, um, you need any help cleaning up?
Ru: No, Honey--I'm closing the kitchen till supper. I'm gonna write a little.
Kermit: Oh. Okay.
Ru: What are you gonna do? Are you all unpacked?
Kermit: Oh yeah. Not a lot of wardrobe issues.
Ru: I guess not. (Turns and leans on the counter and looks at Kermit.) What's the matter, Kermit. You seem out of sorts--anything wrong?
Kermit: No. No--I was just...um. I mean, we were, that is, Piggy and I were going to watch a movie this afternoon but she canceled on me. She, um, said she had something she had to do. Do you know, um, what, er, came up?
Ru: (carefully) Kermit, honey, I really can't say. I'm sorry she stood--um, that she canceled, but didn't she reschedule for this evening? Aren't you supposed to watch your movie tonight?
Kermit: Well, yeah. I was just, you know, wondering if Piggy was, meeting someone else. (Turning pollywog eyes on Ru.)
Ru: (inhaling sharply. Wow--that look could melt an iceberg!) Kermit--I...look. I can't tell you where Piggy went, but I can tell you it was work-related, okay? Does that help some?
Kermit: (still mopey, but obviously relieved) Yeah....
Ru: So what movie are we watching tonight?
Kermit: Harvey. With Jimmy Stewart.
Ru: I've never seen it.
Kermit: Me either. (hopefully) You're making movie snacks?
Ru: Don't I always? Now, run along. I want to write.
Kermit: Okay--I'm going. Um, Ru?
Ru: Yes, dear?
Kermit: What, um, what sorts of things do you write, anyway?
Ru: Er, wow--look at the time.

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(Door open, and gang walks in, having just returned from seeing a certain movie that's very popular with both wizards and Muggles, if you catch my drift.)

Storyteller: (sniffling and blowing nose into handkerchief) So sad...I can't believe it's all over...
Beige: Oh, pull yourself together, woman, it's not like the books and movies are going to vanish into thin air now.
Nora: (collapsing on sofa) Sure...I remember the night the seventh book went on sale down at Coming Unbound. 500 copies, gone like that. They even took the bookshelves the books were on.
Scooter: Uh, no, that wasn't the fans, that was the guy who hosts that woodworking show on the local channel. He needed to come up with a bookshelf for the next day's taping and his bandsaw was broken.
Erin: Typical. (rummages through A/V shelf) Well, now that we've seen the last movie, who wants to start over again? (Pulls out "Sorcerer's Stone.")

(Five minutes later, everyone's settled on the sofa with ice cream, as the opening credits play out.)

Robin grins: Yep..that's me! There's no Frog Scouts for the summer.So do you think we could go to the pool later on?
