Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[The Count]

Yes... But it doesn't answer the question as where he went ff to. And why he didn't tell us.

Daylight Savings Time you say? God thing the oly effect such a timezone has on me is realign TV schedules from all the US cable channels back to the time they're announced for.

Where is everyone? ...Hey, what's this? *finds note* Dear Ryan... we'll be back later... Clifford had class, Uncle D.'s in the library, Ernie and Bert went to breakfast, and Gonzo and Camilla went rocket-powered water skiing... love, your dormies. ...Well, that's just great, they're not here when I come back... sheesh, oh well, more Ryan time. *grabs chips and plops down on couch*

 

[The Count]

Yep... And don't forget, Clifford's party is this Thursday. So better get a plannin'. Maybe you'd like me to warn Sis and Skeeter...

Ryan: Clifford's birthday is on Thursday? Yeesh, well there goes my week...
Ernie: *walking in* Oh, hi Ryan. Welcome back!
Ryan: Hey there Ernie. Thanks. It's good to be back.
Ernie: I bet. Hey, how's your new story coming along?
Ryan: Eh, it's okay. Slowly but surely, ya know?
Ernie: *nods* Is everybody else still out and about?
Ryan: As far as I know.
Ernie: How could you not know?
Ryan: I don't know.
Ernie: ...Oh.
Ryan: Yeah... Say, you wanna come to the mall with me? I've gotta find Clifford a birthday present.
Ernie: Sure! Sounds like fun. I could use a new bugle too.
Ryan: *gulp* Oh boy.

 

[The Count]

*Bats leave a birthday card for Bobo signed by The Count and myself, along with an unbreakable jar wrapped in our batty wrapping paper. The tumbler is filled to the brim with freshly fried cream cheese filled jalapeño pepper poppers. Hope you like 'em Bobo, happy birthday!

 

[Erine81981]

This will keep Bobo happy. A bunch of honey jars all filled with his favorite honey. *sets it down beside Ed and the Count's present for Bobo* Wonder if i have forgotten to do anything? *thinks* Nope not that i can remember. *goes back to the room and watches some tv*

 

[The Count]

Hey, anybody seen Lisa? You know where she's at Rowlf? Oh, that's... Erm, and Robin, he's... Right gathering the stories on how you all became Muppets and reporting his findings to Melissa (Java). Well, if you see Lisa, tell her Melissa and Robin need help translating the Chef's origin story. And I hope she's doing well after the play and everything.
Bye Rowlf.

<in room 24... where the door has been repaired at some point>
Rowlf: ...<Sneaks up... and uses his paws to suddenly COVER LISA'S EYES!>
Lisa: <makes various high-pitched squeaky sounds while swatting at Rowlf's paws> ROOOOOWLF!
Rowlf: SHE SPEAKS! <removes his paws from Lisa's eyes>
Lisa: Nice to SEE you too.
Rowlf: Nice to HEAR you.
Lisa: Okay, so I've been a little holed up-
Rowlf: Noticeably anti-social.
Lisa: I'VE- ...Been thinking, that's all.
Rowlf: About...?
Lisa: Guess.
Rowlf: Play.
Lisa: Good dog.
Rowlf: Woof. ...So what about it? You never told us if you got in!
Lisa: I... I did get in.
Rowlf: <shakes Lisa's hand> Congratulations!
Lisa: ...Yeah, thanks...
Rowlf: What's wrong?
Lisa: ...I'm not gonna be in the play.
Rowlf: But you got in.
Lisa: Yes, I got in. But I won't be in it.
Rowlf: Why not?
Lisa: ...<deep breath> Because it's a very small part that I don't feel would be equal to what I would be giving up for it.
Rowlf: But it's your last high school play-
Lisa: And I'm turning it down.
Rowlf: Any way we could talk you out of it?
Lisa: Too late. I all ready talked to the director about it.
Rowlf: ...Oh.
Lisa: You had something to say, though? Before we mentioned the play-
Rowlf: Right!
Lisa: Left.
Rowlf: Ed asked me to tell you that Melissa and Robin need help translating the Chef's origin story.
Lisa: ...I'm sorry, what?
Rowlf: Ed asked me to tell you-
Lisa: Rowlf- I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment...
Rowlf: How unusual.
Lisa: <grumbles>
Rowlf: I'll pass it on.
Lisa: Thanks.
Rowlf: ...But you know, you really oughta loosen up-
Lisa: Rowlf?... I really don't have time...
Rowlf: No time to write?
Lisa: Like it or not... and believe me, I DON'T like it.
Rowlf: Voice practice?
Lisa: Nope.
Rowlf: What's so important?
Lisa: Homework, of course. <sigh> ...I'll see ya around, okay?
Rowlf: <shrug> Sure, I guess...

 

[The Count]

Yeah... So we finally heard from Lisa again? *In Kermit voice: Oh good.
Would slip her a copy under her door, but I can't contact her any which way. So Lisa, if you're there... Go and read Melissa's latest addition to the library, a good story titled Reflections in Foam. Methinks it'll rate a 5-squeeeee alarm at least from what's been posted already, since it has a chapter dealing with that little green roomie of yours.

Outside in the yard........

Hey guys. *watching Herry jump and down on the trampoline*

Herry: Hey Kyle What's up?

Grover: The guys are having fun.

I see. Nothing much Herry. Have you tried it yet FilFil?

FilFil: Not yet. I'm a little scared.

It's alright. I was scared too when i first tried one of these babies out.

Maurice: For real?

Yep.

Anything Muppet: *pops up* Hey i remember that.

Hey Ted. Hows it been?

Anything Muppet: Fine. Can i tell the story?

Sure. Why not.

Anything Muppet: *pulls out his banjo and starts playing a little tune* Listen, while I tell you, a story old and true,
About how Kyle the boy got his fear through.
He faced the toughest duty, a boy could ever do,
But he was brave and not afraid and he got his fear through!
Through, through, through, he got his fear through.
Through, through, through....

Me: I got my feeeearrrr throoough

Anything Muppet: Trampoline was carrying moo cows, and monkeys and monsters too.
There were six kids filled with cookies, and a kid who had chocolate too.
The kids were all for jumping, but i would have all year.
And getting that fear through times of that kid was the job of a bigger kid......

3 Anything Muppets, a cow and monsters: Through, through, through, he got his fear through.
Through, through, through....

Me (spoken): Oh, this trampoline full of monsters i know.
And there are lots of children on there too but
i don't know if i can get over my fear....
I must get my fear through!!!!!

Anything Muppet: But a bigger monster had gotten on and was hairy too.
The fur was furry, the trampoline was blocked, there was no place he could go.
Kyle knew the trampoline was filled with a monster he love to meet.
But Kyle knew his duty and would not admit defeat!

3 Anything Muppets, a cow and monsters: Through, through, through, he got his fear through.
Through, through, through....

Me (spoken): Oh, tough choice. Trampoline covered with fur.
If me stay here, and not try to go i'll never get on that trampoline,
I'm stuck here, all alone with kids me not even know.
Aaaaaaaaallllll alone, with nooooooooobody watching.
I'm getting scared. I'm getting VERY scared!
Oooooooh, maybe it's not too bad if i don't ever get...
Wait!! What i saying???? It be very bad if i don't face my fear.
I must get my fear through!!!!!

Anything Muppet: Well, Kyle was a hero. And his duty he could see.
Without the his fear and his courage, he wouldn't ever get over it.
The kids would be unhappy,
So Kyle raised his head.......

Me: I forget about my fear,
And get on the trampoline!!!!!

Anything Muppet: Through, through, through, he got his fear through,
he meet up with that furry monster....

Me: He's mighty friendly too!

3 Anything Muppets, a cow, monsters, me and the Anything Muppet: Through, through, through, he got his fear through.
Kyle that brave little kid got his fear through!

Anything Muppet (Ted): You did good.

Thanks Ted. So did you. So you see FilFil....Where did FilFil g...

Telly: Look up there. *points on the trampoline*

FilFil: I did it Kyle. I faced my fear.

You did it! Great job FilFil. Glad to hear it. So was it the my story?

FilFil: Not really. I did it without the help of your song.

Oh brother.
