Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[The Count]

*Bats show up with some chocolate for Erin's cake decorating deliciousness. Always keep some chocolate on hand, it helps rid my little acid reflux flare-ups.

Orange and pineapple juice, and gingerale too... You know, I have a punch recipe that's got all of that and cranberry juice as one last liquid addition.

Too bad I can't just tap my ? nagging stick and mutter Repairo to get my Chamber of Secrets cassette fixed. Oh well...

Scooter: Hey, thanks, guys! (takes chocolate into the kitchen)
Erin: Great - this saves me a trip to the shop tomorrow.
Nora: What did Ed say about cranberry juice?
Scooter: Oh - he said that he had a punch recipe that contained what we're using, plus cranberry juice.
Storyteller: Oh, do let's give it a try. (oven timer goes off)
Erin: Pot holders on, people!
Beige: Oh, man...that smells incredible.

(oven opens to reveal three 9-inch round chocolate cake layers)

(some time later, the cake is being assembled)

Storyteller: (spreading a thick layer of orange-pineapple butter cream icing on one cake layer, which itself sits on a crystal cake serving plate) All right, lower away, boys!
(Scooter and Beige lower the second cake layer on top of the first, and the process repeats to create a three-layer cake)
Nora: (dipping last orange slice into melted chocolate) Oranges are ready.

Storyteller spreads more icing on the top and sides of the cake. Erin fills a pastry bag with tempered chocolate, and inscribes a message in big swirly letters on the top of the cake:

Happy birthday, Richard!

P.S.: Your face!

Nora then moves in to arrange the chocolate-dipped orange slices on the top and bottom edges of the cake.

Beige: Mmm...
Nora: Let's do the punch next.

(gang gets to work on pouring various juices and ginger ale, chopping fruit and preparing the fruit ring)

*Evening hour at the dorms, bats flutter about seeking their prey.

1 spots a tied-up lab assistant and stuffs a birthday card for him in his pocket along with a wrapped gyroscope before bussing his cheek lightly, leaving him in his current predicament.
2 has a short flight, delivering a card and the recording of the famed operas Peligro and Upstairs, Downstairs at the door to Room #2 for Placido Flamingo.
3 goes off to find and hand in a Muppet Show logo placard for the gofer's clipboard along with another little kiss on his oranged cheek.
4, 5 and 6 all deposit their load at the threshhold of Room #22... A new pair of Addidas running sneakers for Sweetums, a sleek little i-Pod for Janice, and a silven halfmoon/halfmask charm for Alex.

Happy birthday to Alex and all of Richard's kids. Raise a glass of orange juice or fruit punch on high as we celebrate to thee!
*Party music starts playing as a chorus of Fraggle voices usher in the festive frivolities.

(gang is gathered around table, with cake, ice cream and punch - there is a huge arrangement of peonies in the middle)

Scooter: (singing) It's in every...one...of us...to be wise...
Nora: (singing) Find...your heart...open up both your eyes...
Erin: (singing) We can all know everything...
Beige: (singing) Without ever knowing why...
Storyteller: (singing) It's in every one of us...by and by...
All: We can all know everything, without ever knowing why...it's in every one of us...by and by...by...and...by.

Beige: Tuck in, people!
Storyteller: No, wait, a toast!
(everyone lifts glasses of punch)
Scooter: To Richard, on your birthday we say...
All: Your face! (punch is knocked back, and everyone starts in on cake, as stereo starts to play lots of Muppet-related songs)

Well... Hope Richard's Muppets found/got their gifts, it's their birthdays too. Got the itch to write... A semblance or seed of an idea... But indecision looms over my horizons much like the cloud of a coming storm. Hmm, maybe writing would solv my dissatisfaction, maybe not. Oh well, I'll stick to creating characters for now and debut them when the time is ready, if at all.

Night everybody, and happy birthday Alex and Richard.

Nora: Nice placard, Scooter - where'd you get it?
Scooter: One of the bats dropped it off a little while ago - isn't it cool?

 

[Skeeter Muppet]

Gillis: How's that fanmix coming?
Kim: To put it bluntly, it's kicking my butt.
Boober: I thought you had the tracks picked out already?
Kim: Okay, to be more specific it's the cover art that's kicking my butt. I don't know what pictures to use.
Tosh: *thinks* What about that nice one of him, Scooter, Jim and Kermit in their tuxes? Y'know, from the Oscars in '86?
Kim: That could work; 'd have to play with it a bit, of course. So that's the front cover, but what about the back?
Mimzy: Oh! I know! *whispers in Kim's ear*
Kim: ... I love it. I love it! Thanks, guys.
Fraggles: You're welcome!

Scooter: (adjusting knob on crystal set) Move the antenna a little more to the left...no, right!
Beige: (moving antenna) Boy, I hope you get that server fixed, Erin.
Erin: (adjusting wattage on radio) Yeah, you and me both. Of all the nights for my computer to not want to pick up the MuppetCast...
Storyteller: Oh, is this the one with the interview with Jane?
Nora: Yup...and Steve was actually in the Hunts' kitchen talking to her this time.
Scooter: (adjusting knob some more) Okay, wait, I'm hearing Steve's voice - don't move that antenna anymore!
Erin: It's grainy, but it'll have to do for now.
Beige: Does that mean I need to hold my arms up all night?
Nora: No...come sit down. Has he gotten to the interview yet?
Storyteller: Break out the orange juice!
