MC Dorms: 2009: Home for the Holidays.

[RedPiggy]

Kelly: So, you guys aren't gonna stay for Thanksgiving?

Newsie (packing): Cotterpin and I are going to dine in Europe tonight. I hope you don't mind. Good luck with your nursing career. *smirks* Don't fall victims to painful running gags.

Kelly (rolls eyes): Yeah. *to Cotterpin, who's on Newsie's bed* You kids have fun. Is there gonna be a marriage?

Cotterpin: O_O Uh, the scale difference alone ... Newsie and I aren't like you and Spike or Pearl and ... whoever her partner happens to be at the moment.

Newsie (shakes head): Cotterpin, be nice. Everyone understands relationships in their own way.

Spike (getting out of the shower): So, we goin' tonight or what?

Kelly: The plan was to go to Thanksgiving with Ed before we left. *grins* C'mon, Spike ... don't pass up All-You-Can-Eat.

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (in the common room): Well. *looks at watch* I wonder if anyone is still coming for Thanksgiving dinner. Pearl called earlier and said the saloon was busy. I really don't want to leave the dorms forever before saying goodbye to SOMEONE.

Spike (stomach growls): Well, I say give it a half hour. If I don't get somethin' ta eat, I'll go insane. At least da car's full of luggage.

Kelly (nods): It's amazing how much you can fit when goblins take most of the stuff through magic.

Spike (nods): Yeah, dat was a real time saver.

Kelly (sighs)

Spike (stomach growls)

Kelly: Fine, fine, we'll go. *slips key to room 2 under Ed's door*

--room 2 is empty as its inhabitants are gone, but a note is stuck to the door--

Thanks for the good times, gang.
The push of destiny's hand proves strong.
I'm sorry we didn't go out with a bang,
But I can't help but move right along.
From Kelly, Spike, Pearl, Cotterpin, and Newsie

*Letter appears in Kelly's pocket.

Dear Kelly:

Sorry we weren't there to go for Thanksgiving dinner as planned. My party got called away to a dinner of a family that are like second relatives to us, and the drive took longer than hexpected. That was of corpse, in our OCC nature. Because of that absence, I took it that in our "in character" nature here at the dorms, the rest of the gang—yourself included—would've already had Thanksgiving dinner as it was around 9 PM when we arrived home. Once more, I deeply and humbly apologize as I value your friendship tremendously.

From the Ruler of the Numbers to Her Majesty, Heir of the Labyrinth,
Sorry for not showing up and good speed on wherever your magic takes you.

The girls & Grover aren't back from their respective families' houses yet.So I'm in Room 6 with Gaffer,who's curled up in a furry ball sleeping after munching on some leftovers I brought.Sure is quiet.So I put on The Muppets Green& Red Christmas CD
I hum along to it & suddenly hear "knockity-knock-knock at the door
'Zat you Santa Claus?
Yes little girl.Shouldn't you be in bed?
It's Prairie disguising her voice
C'mon Kath!It's cold out here and I can't find my key!
You mean you're not Santa?
KATHEEEEEEEEE!
OK...OK...I'm sorry.unlocking the door How was your Thanksgiving?
Prairiehanging up her coat It was great! Boy was I stuffed kast night! But everything was tasty. I brought some leftover pie to share with everyone.Plus Aunt Dusk made some cook...uh...whispering in my ear chocolate chip cookies.I wasn't sure if you -know -who was back
Better safe than sorry! Where are the others?
Prairie:They should be back soon.I'm going to change into my pajamas and fix some hot chocolate.Want some?
Sure!
Just then Grover & Rosita come in
Grover:Hello Kathy!When did you get back?
Hi Grover! About an hour ago.
Rosita:Hi Kathy!You weren't out Christmas shopping,were you?
Hi Rosita!And no! I wouldn't dare! Too crowded! Although some people decide to be smart and shop Online to avoid the crowds.
Grover:Oh!That is very smart of them!
Very true.Although that affects those of us that want to use Online for fun.
Prairie calls from the kitchen:Hot chocolate topped with whipped cream!Come and get it!Plus there's other things!
Rosita:What other things,Prairie?
I make eyes like Cookie Monster & both Rosita & Grover nod.Then Rosita giggles at my imitation

 

[The Count]

Mmm... Haven't been in a mood as good as this one since the big thunderstorm a few weeks back. Gonna sit down in my comfy armchair with some soda and read up on a well-cherished fanfic, Kermie's Girl, even though we still craves the updates.

*Listening to The Gift of the Magi as narrated by Mr. Hooper.

 

[redBoobergurl]

He's not in fright now Spammy... Sorry.

*Leaves wrapped present for Beth, a small pair of matching ornaments of a seated Rowlf watching the knob on the TV and Wanda curling up in a winter wrap beside him.
It's a good thing that ornaments store Piggy used to pose for makes these of other Muppets too.

*Beth leaves a thank you card and cookies at room 1 thanking Ed and roomies for a wonderful birthday gift.*
Beth: There. Now back to our room after being away for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

 

[The Count]

*Door opens and the card and cookies are dragged into the darkness by an unseen force.

*Hopes more of the new dormish/Hensonville fic gets posted soon.

Gillis: (enters Room 19, humming)
Kim: Well, you seem to be in good spirits today Maestro.
Gillis: Oh, I am! I'm still thinking of that show you took us to see last night.
Kim: Christmas Kaleidoscope? Yeah, glad you liked it. It's always been one of my favorites of the civic theater's shows. Perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit.
Tosh: Speaking of the Christmas spirit, when are we going to start decorating the room?
Mimzy: Yeah, we've already helped decorate at your church.
Boober: Are you girls serious? Thanksgiving was three days ago!
Kim: Why don't we give it another week? Saturday you guys can decorate the room, and then after church next Sunday we'll go out and get our tree.
