[The Count]

*Lying dead in bed... Two more chapters to go... She's killin' me with these mega-long chapters. And that's both a bad and good thing. Will... Finish... Tomorrow.
*Collapses into oblivion.

Ernie: Hey, Bert. Ed just collapsed like you do.
Bert: From reading? Ha! He's weak.
Bryan: Hey, guys. Enough of that. Who's gonna do the sponsors?
Cookie: Oh, me do it! Me do it!
Bryan: Go ahead, Cookie Monster.
Cookie: Oh boy, oh boy! Okay...Muppet Dorms brought to you today by letter D (holds up a letter D cookie) and by number 4 (holds up a number 4 cookie and sniffs it and devours both cookies making a big crummy mess)
Bryan: Muppet Dorms are a production of the Muppet Central Forums.
Cookie: Uuuurp! 'Scuse me.

*Awake again. Yeah well... You try sifting through a 150+ page fanfic, trying to catch all the quotation marks and apostrophes after copying it from the thread to your computer files, where they don't show up, and arrange the sentence spacing so that it's all properly perfect... And we'll see how much you can get done yourself boyo.

*Gets bowl of crisp cereal for breakfast before braving the book world once more.

Bo: *moving around the apartment*
Beau: *moving around the apartment*
George: *moving around the apartment*
Mildred: *stayig still* Ok...now I feel sea sick.

Beth: I hate waiting
Red: Still no word about that job?
Beth: Nope, she's supposed to call today or tomorrow. And that's just for a second interview
Mokey: I'm sure that they'll want you to come in
Abby: Yeah, cause you're so nice!
Beth: Thanks guys. I need something to do in the meantime as a distraction
Wanda: I think Ed wanted you to contact the residents about staying on for winter
Beth: Oh yeah, I should probably talk to him about that.

 

[The Count]

*Sorting through new posts... *Going back to work on that fic... Maybe Beth'll have an idea of an ice cream flavor for my Ace of Spades and I can move forward with my own fic laterish.

(At the Hensonville Hooper's Store...)

Bryan: (Wipes down the counter and starts to set up the laptop computer)

(the bell rings)

Big Bird: Hi, Bryan!
Bryan: Oh, morning, Big Bird!
Big Bird: Hi. Umm...Bryan?
Bryan: Yes?
Big Bird: What are you doing?
Bryan: Oh, I'm just getting ready to listen to the new Muppetcast episode.
Big Bird: Oh really? Can I join you?
Bryan: Sure! How about a bowl of Birdseed Krispies while we listen?
Big Bird: Sounds good. That's my favorite cereal, ya know.
Bryan: (smiling) I know it is. (pours the cereal in a bowl for Big Bird)
Big Bird: Umm...better pour another bowl for Radar.
Bryan: For...Radar?
Big Bird: Yeah, he needs breakfast too. He's a growing bear!
Bryan: But...(looks down at Radar's little teddy bear face and plays along) okay. (pours another bowl and sits it on the counter right in front of Radar) There you go, Radar.
Big Bird: He says, "Thank you."
Bryan: Well, he's very welcome.
Big Bird: (light laugh) Hehehe.
Bryan: Okay, let's start up this podcast!
Big Bird: Oh, Bryan?
Bryan: Yes, Big Bird.
Big Bird: Can we please have a banana with our cereal?
Bryan: A banana? Sure. One for Radar too?
Big Bird: Let me ask. Radar, would you like a banana with your cereal? (Pause and Big Bird listens for an answer) He says, "Yes, please."
Bryan: Okay... two bananas coming up! (grabs 2 bananas and gives one to Big Bird and one to Radar) There you go.
Big Bird: Thanks.
Bryan: You're very welcome. Now...onto the Muppetcast! (is just about to hit the button on the computer...)
Big Bird: Oh, Bryan! Wait wait!
Bryan: (sigh) Yes, Big Bird...?
Big Bird: Sorry to interupt again, but Radar likes to have his banana sliced up and put over his cereal.
Bryan: Sliced up?
Big Bird: Yeah. I'd do it myself, but I'm not allowed to use a knife. And you're a grown up. Would you mind? Please?
Bryan: Not at all... (peels Radar's banana and slices it up and scatters the pieces over the cereal.) There. You too, Big Bird?
Big Bird: No, thanks. That's all.
Bryan: Okay. Anything else I can get you both?
Big Bird: No, that's all. Thank you.
Bryan: Are you sure?
Big Bird: Yes, I think we're ready now.
Bryan: Okay. Now, let's just listen to the Muppetcast, okay?
Big Bird: I've been looking forward to it!
Bryan: Me too. (Finally starts up the podcast and they listen)

 

[The Count]

UNGH! 1 more chapter to go... Then...

 

[BEAR]

Big Bird: That was a great show. I love Fraggles. They're such nice creatures.
Bryan: They sure are. (Noticing Big Bird's empty cereal bowl and Radar's bowl still full of cereal and banana) Umm...Big Bird? Radar didn't eat any of his cereal.
Big Bird: Oh, yeah... Well, he's not very hungry right now.
Bryan: He's not, huh?
Big Bird: No, but maybe he'll eat it later. Can we please get a to-go box?
Bryan: A..."to-go" box? For the cereal?
Big Bird: Uh huh. So we can take it home.
Bryan: I'll see what I can do.
Big Bird: Thanks. Come on, Radar. Let's go see if Red and Mokey want to play. Bye, Bryan! Thanks for the cereal!
Bryan: You're welcome! See ya later! (tries to figure out how to package a to-go box for soggy cereal and banana)

(in room 7, there is a vase of bright red peonies on the table)

Erin: He's still with us, Scooter. You know that.
Beige: Which could either be a cause for celebration or alarm, depending on the circumstances.
Scooter: I know. (suddenly chokes back a laugh)
Nora: What's so funny?
Scooter: I was just remembering a story he told me...how he smuggled a water pistol onto the set of Fraggle Rock and...

(Storyteller shrieks, in another room)

Beige: What was that?
Storyteller: (running in, dripping wet) All right, which of you just fired that water pistol at me?
Beige: Don't look at me, I only use...
Erin: Wait a minute. A water pistol?
Nora: (looking around nervously) Are the dorms haunted or something?

(later)

Scooter: Can you imagine what would have happened if he came in there with a Super Soaker or something?
Storyteller: Oh, don't even go there.

(Rest in peace, Richard Hunt...)
