Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[Ruahnna]

(Piggy and Kermit are sitting beside each other on one of the lime tweed recliners. They are not looking at each other. Piggy looks flustered and upset. Kermit looks dignified and wounded. He lets Piggy hold his hand for a moment, then withdraws from her again.)
Piggy: Kermie, I...Kermie, are vous still mad at moi?
Kermit: Um, I don't..maybe. (He looks away, and Piggy looks ashamed.)
Piggy: I'm...I'm really sorry, Kermie. I didn't mean to... He was just...it was just one of those little infatuations.
Kermit: (very snarky) Yeah? Well, your little infatuation had ham for breakfast, how do you like that?
(Piggy doesn't say anything, but there is a dainty little sniff after a moment. Kermit tries to ignore it, and it is not repeated, but when he looks around to catch her eye, she looks hastily away and dabs at her eyes. Kermit sighs, and scoots back into the chair. His arms slips across the back of the chair--as subtle as a teenager at a movie--and settles around Piggy's shoulders. She looks up in surprise.)
Kermit: Oh, what the hey. C'mere.
(Piggy scooches back until she is sitting beside him with his head on her shoulder and her head leaning on his. Her arm slips around his waist.)
Piggy: Vous are very sweet to be so understanding, Mon Capitan.
Kermit: Just tell me it wasn't the hair.
(There is no sound from Piggy.)
Kermit: Um, Piggy...?

Count, to himself: Portal? Hmm, she must have access to the tunnels in the Matthew T. Fraggle Room. Oh vell, at least there'll be plenty of pastries for the birthday on Thursday and this coming veekend.
*Trundles off to Room #1 to head off for a night's rest in peace as well.

Ok everyone. To Beth's room. Big Bird's birthday is today so we need to bring him his presents and to sing him a song.

Everyone gathers around Beth's room and starts to harmonize

Maurice, FilFil, Herry and Telly: Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Big Birrrrrd.
Happy Birthday toooooo......

FilFil: *gets down on one knee*.....Yooooooou.

Good job guys. Alright. Hand the presents to Beth. Sorry Bird. Grover is at work but i'll let him know to come visit you sometime tonight.

Telly: You'll like mine.

Maurice: Mine too.

FilFil: Nope. He'll like mine better.

Guys!

Herry: *hands box to Beth* He'll really like mine.

Guys! Stop it! Now quite fighting. I don't want Big Bird to think we fight all the time. Now apologize.

Maurice, Telly, FilFil and Herry: Sorry Big Bird.

Thank you guys. *hands Big Bird his present from me* You have a wonderful time Bird. Happy Birthday!

Huh? Hee, Kathy... You haven't been privy to the conversations between the prawn and the toga have you?

Me? Nosy? Never!

It goes like this... One says right, then the other says left, then sideways, March, May, oh, P, Q... And so on, at least that's what I've come to understand from their strange half-speak. Maybe we can ask one of them to come and lecture us on the habits of half-speech now that they've gotten their own dictionary published.

Ah-HA! Got it now!lightbulb going on over head

And here's a slice of apple caramel pie some of my ghosts got from the fight at the RHLC HQ.
*Hands Kathy the piece of pie, before retreating back into his own room.

Oooohhh...delicious!Thanks! getting a nice cold glass of milk to enjoy it with

 

[The Count]

No problem Kathy.

*Soft music starts to play, with a decidedly birthday theme to its melody.
MC Dorms were brought to you today by the letter B, for Big Bird... And by the number 20.
Count: Mmm, nice big number for our feathered friend.
Night all.

 

[BEAR]

Bry: (calling room 3 from an airport and leaves a message) hi Big Bird! It's me, Bryan. You must still be at your party. I hope you're having a good time. I wanted to wish you a very happy birthday. Gosh, I sure do miss you a lot. Give everyone else my regards. Happy birthday again, Big Bird! I love you. Bye. (hangs up)

Sweetness and Cake

Catherine: Hey, guys! Glad to see you came to Big Bird's party after all.
Kermit: Yeah, well, we thought it might be a good idea to get out and mingle a little, you know, with other people. (This is belied by the tight grip Kermit has on Piggy's hand. The fearsome grip is happily returned.)
Piggy: The big canary's a good guy.
Kermit: (firmly) Piggy!
(Piggy subsides without a word, and Catherine gives Kermit a raised-eyebrow look. Kermit looks back defiantly, determined not to blush. He almost succeeds.)
Fozzie: Hey guys--if you are through making up you might want to come over and see the big birdseed cake. It's pretty good, if you don't mind picking the sunflower shells out of your teeth.
(Kermit looks at Piggy.)
Piggy: Whatever you think, Kermie.
(Kermit nods with satisfaction and they head toward the cake.)
Catherine: (to Fozzie) Must have worked it out.
Fozzie: They always do. Come on--I want another piece of cake!

 

[The Count]

*Waking up... So here it is, the first day of spring... There should be some cooling winds blowing through town, scattered rain clouds, and maybe a rainbow or two. Wonder if there's any cornbread cake left from last night's party for Big Bird. Mmm, cornbread cake with raisins inside it, yummo!

 

[redBoobergurl]

Big Bird: I'm so glad that Bryan called me even if I missed it for the party, it was nice to hear his voice at least!
Beth: Did you have a good birthday yesterday?
Big Bird: Yeah, I got nice presents, the cake was great, Bryan called and I got to spend the whole day with Snuffy. It was wonderful!
Beth: I'm so glad
Big Bird: Thanks for everything
Beth: You're welcome
*they hug*

*listening to some rock and roll music before heading off to the showers, then get dressed for afternoon classes. Mrs. Robinson just finished up, now got Higher and Higher playing. Sure hope there's something we can do to help out our local MC Radio station.
*Check out the thread entitled "Save Internet Radio" in the Announcements section of the forum.
