Muffins of Our Lives - The Third Generation
Another day, another world. In this one, Muffins no longer co-exist with humanity in perfect harmony. In fact, they are usually seen and not heard, living underground as a sub-Humanity group, often almost forgotten by the upper-class humans living above. And did I mention Vampires? But I'm getting ahead of myself... Welcome back to Metro Central...
Episode One: Valentino
The titles roll, skipping from character to character as they glance up at the camera, then to a tray of muffins falling from a table, muffins scattering.
Close on our first character, Prawnie, as his alarm clock wakes him on Saturday Morning, 13th February, 2030. He opens one eye an sighs...Another morning, another day.
Outside, a hover-train rumbles by, and inside two upper-class, Australian Teenage girls chatter excitedly over cups of tea. "Do you think it's true what they say about this city, Kiki? That it's haunted by the memory of Muffins past?" "I highly doubt that, Anna. All Muffins were wiped out after the Credit Crunch and Great Starvation on 2009..." They chat on, showing obvious excitment that they have arrived at Metro City for a using a Valentine's day offer, "Romantic Getaway" ticket designed for a couple, even though they are just friends coming to the city to look for a guy. The train rumbles on.
Down below, Ed 'The Count' Ward crosses the road and enters a coffee shop, carrying a newspaper under his arm. Beth the waitress greets him and hands him coffee which he carries to a table and is joined by his neice Toga.
"I'm telling you it's completly true...and that you should run the story," Toga insists. "There have been unsolved robberies, murders, and unpaid traffic tickets in this town for years, and the only clues have been a trail of Crumbs. Literally. There is something going on, and I know they are still here."
Although Ed is hardly convinced he reluctantly agrees to get his newspaper the Metro Chronical to look into it a bit more.
Meanwhile, Prawnie opens a safe hidden under his bed and removes something, then runs out the backdoor and down his garden, then an abandoned railway track to the entrance of the old Underground Station. Just as he's entering, he gets a call on his mobilepack. "Hello? Ike Muppetz is that you? Er...yeah, I can maybe meet you later. No, I'm still in bed. It's a weekend, right? Sure, I'll see you later man." He hangs up and walks down the steps into the station.
Elsewhere, Ed gets back to the main headquarters of Metro Chronical. "Morning Dr T." The often perceived as grouchy head of international affairs, DrTooth mutters something back and goes on typing an e-mail, and so Ed continues alone to a meeting with the Newspaper photographer, Jaimie.
"She seems to think that there's enough evidence of Muffin activity in this town for us to run a story. But I need proof before I can go ahead. I need photographs, J. Get in touch with Toga. She'll give you whatever help you need."
At the coffee shop, Ike Muppetz runs into Toga. "I'm meeting your boyf. later," he tells her. "Good luck with that," she responds.
And that's when the front of the hovertrain smashes into the ground outside the shop window.
Kiki and Anna are thrown across the cabin...but manage to do so without spilling their tea. "Did we totally just stop?" "Are we like totally there?" Then the entire train starts to creek and tip over sideways towards the street below.
Jaimie, below, snaps photographes.
Cut to darkness, where a giant smile and two beady eyes glint. "It is begun...Today we begin to reclaim our right to live." And laughter.
To be Continued... Credits roll.
After the credits: Prawnie emerges from the train station, glances at his watch, and starts running.

There can be no appology from the cheeseyness of the dialogue, or the lame opening storylines. This is a soap, not a sitcom. Cheese is what it's all about. ...Mmm...cheese...
On another note though, any character suggestions are greatly received or any changes to your characters once they are written in. We already have some long-term storylines planned, but do give us your ideas as well!
Muffining up the lives of MCers is a long tradition, and I hope you can all enjoy it!

Awww, and thanks fer adding me in it, that's very sweet of ya Beau, I'm so flattered. 
This is brilltastic!
As most of the names are based on Username, rather than actual names. The train-crash storyline seems locked on for a while, with new suspects appearing out of the woodwork.
in liking the hot womens okay?
