Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[The Count]

Well... That's one exam down and one more to go. Looking forward to getting back to the dorms though.
And the best thing of all is that I finally have decided on the surprise for my roomie. Oh, and you guys are invited to watch the Muppet Christmas specials I got this weekend if you want. And good luck with the play.

 

[G-MAN]

Sure, I'll bring along my recently bought copy of Emmet Otter, unless you already have a copy.

 

[The Count]

Bring it anyway if you want G-Man. Got the unedited version in the library, along with unedited Christmas Toy and almost complete MFC.

Bry: Telly and Rosita, you are joining Hoots in that Baby Jesus pageant thing?
Telly: Yeah, they needed people so we decided to help out.
Bry: Okay, cuz you know that Prairie is going to write a new play and I said I would help her write some of it. You are all welcome to join that one too.
Rosita: Oh boy! So many plays.
Telly: I love culture.
Rosita: Hehe!
Bry: Hey, I was just thinking how fun it was having Red and Mokey stay with us over the weekend.
Big Bird: Yeah, I like them a lot.
Telly: I just can't believe they didn't know about Christmas!
Bry: Well, different people celebrate different things, Telly. Remember Mr. Hooper? He was Jewish and celebrated Hannukah.
Big Bird: That's right.
Telly: Oh yeah!
Hoots: But as far as I know, whatever we all celebrate during this time, they all have something in common.
Telly: What's that, Mr. Hoots?
Hoots: Being together with those you care most about and celebrating joy and peace.
Rosita: That's right!
Big Bird: Well, whatever it is, I think those Fraggles have their holidays messed up. I just found a colored Easter egg in my nest.
Telly: Hey, I did too!
Rosita: Si, me too!
Hoots: Yep! And it looks like Stinky's got one too.
Stinky: It's so nice to be included, but I hope they didn't feel obligated.
Bry: Hey, you know, I got one too, but this isn't an Easter egg.
Telly: What is it?
Bry: It's a pebble.
Big Bird: A pebble?
Bry: Yeah, I think this is a Fraggle pebble. They must have left them for us.
Rosita: Muy bonito. It is very pretty.
Telly: I think Zoe has one of these, but it's not as colorful.
Bry: That's because what Zoe has is just a rock.
Hoots: Hehehe!
Bry: But anyway, these pebbles are part of a special Fraggle tradition that they have during the holidays. You should ask them about it sometime. Well, anyway...let's go get some lunch.

 

[redBoobergurl]

Red *standing outside of Bryan's room giggling*: I can't wait to tell Mokey that they found our pebbles! I'm going to have to ask Big Bird what an Easter egg is now though. Oh well. *skips back to room 3*

Lisa: <sigh,> Six finals down, and one to go! Rowlf, I don't suppose you'd wanna help me study for psychology?
Rowlf: At the moment, I'm a little busy, but-
Lisa: That's okay! I should pack. Oh, and do laundary! And wrap presents, and... sheesh, how does this time of year always get so hectic?
Chef: Vell I knoo ixectly hoo! Ell zeese-a sveets und treets und cekes und cuukeees und yoommy-yoommeees I hefe-a tu beke-a fur zee huleedeys, und iferybudy vunts zeem fresh und sufft und guuey und hutsy-tutsy frum zee oofee! <shakes head>
Lisa: Aw chef, not everything has to be fresh from the oven when it's served! ...It's usually better then, but it doesn't have to be! We know that, there's only so many ovens... try to relax a little.
Rowlf: Well you're certainly relaxed, Lisa.
Lisa: Of course I am! I'm done with most of my finals! Of course I still have other responsabilities to take care of, but... <shrug> It's life, it gets done... I should actually start packing though... <pulls out suitcase>
Robin: <comes in> Hi guys! Look what I made in Frog Scouts!
Lisa: Lemme see, Robin- Wow, what a cool wreath!
Rowlf: Hey, we should hang right here under the window.
Robin: That'll look great!
Lisa: Well, I'll let you two take care of that... <goes back to packing and starts singing> La da da da da da, da da, Yai dai dai dai dai dai! La da da da da da, da da, la dada dada da... The promise of excitement, is one the week will keep. After all, there's only two more sleeps till pre-con!
Robin: Pre-con?
Lisa: Pre-con! Pre-Convention! What convention? International Convention! Me and a whole huge ginormous group of my fellow jewish teenagers from all across the US and Canada, all spending a total of a week in Philedalphia! It's going to be so awesome... I've told you about it, haven't I? That's why you guys are gonna be with Prawnie for a while...
Rowlf: Yes, you've told us... I thought you were upset about missing Christmas with your family?
Lisa: I am. But I'm also SO excited about spending a whole week with my youth group! It's gonna be so much fun, there's gonna be ruach and davening and food and dances and random bursts of crazy teenage enthusiasm!!!!!! And there won't be any sleep, at least none worth mentioning, and they'll be trying to brainwash us like they always are. That's part of what makes it fun! But in the meantime, I need to get good and grounded in reality- Let's watch MCC.
