Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[The Count]

Hmmm, think I'll wait for that friend of mine to get here before posting the dorms birthday calendar. She's a fellow fanfic author, the one about Robin all grown up I think is her current tale.

Oh hey Bry... Um, I rully leave the grill work to you and/or Ryan... Or some of the other grownups around here in the dorms. But I did manage to bring some of my family's seven-layer salad, it's one of our favorites.
Count: And ve also brought a few presents for Telly and Zoe.
*Puts presents on the appropriate table.

Oh, be fright back, I have something baking in the oven for dessert.

 

[BEAR]

Bry: Okay, Ed. Thanks. I'll handle the BBQ for a while. What will everyone have?

 

[The Count]

Count: Mmm, think I'll have a 1-bone steak.
Don't you mean a T-bone steak?
Count: Not vhen the bones in the steak are shaped more like a number 1.
*Points to steak and bones.

Mmm, good point. So I guess the dorms are being brought to you by the letter T for Telly and the number 1.
Oh, just give me an order of ribs with some rings on the side Bry.
*Serves self big tumbler glass of lemon-lime soda, and a second tumbler of soda for his roomie.
Cookie: Me too late for party?
Nope, you're just on time.
CM: Oh good... Me put dessert platter down on table here.
*Sets platter down, trying to snatch a cookie or two, his fingers a bit nervous as he leaves without getting any.
Come on Cookie... You'll have your fill ater.
CM: Me guess. Hey Bryan, you cooking on da grill? Me take big beefy burger please.
*Serves another tumbler of soda for Cookie.

*To Bryan: He's with me till Kyle gets back, trying to keep him in line. Hope the guests of honor like the triangle cookies. There are some plum ones for Telly and some honey ones for Zoe.

MN: (appearing from kitchen with coffee ice cream) All right, it's Friday! (parks on sofa) Tonight, no homework or job-related stuff or anything, all right? We're just going to sit back and be lazy.
Nora: I'm hip to that! Is there any butterscotch left?
MN: Yeah, plenty. And there's a new container of Doozer Stick Delight in there for you, Storyteller.
Storyteller: Yes, thank you!
MN: So what do you guys wanna do? Watch a movie, play some Clue, gossip or what?
Nora: I vote for a game of Clue later on.

Bry: We need more entertainment.
Ernie: Yeah, like a song or a game or something.

Ernie: Uh, then what happens, Bert?
Bert: Uh, nothing happens, Ernie, and that's the game! Isn't it a spellbinder?
Oscar: Well, I thought it was dumb!!!
Prairie: I hate to say it, but I agree with Oscar.
Bry: Maybe if we made it more complicated it would be fun.
Bert: MORE complicated???
Bry: You know, just to make things a bit more interesting. Ed, if you wouldn't mind watching the grill for me... Now, everyone follow my lead.
Bert: Well, I really don't see how it could be more interesting than it is, but let's see what you got.

Telly: Thanks for the party.
Bry: You're welcome, Telly. Hope you had fun with your friends. Was hoping more people would want to come.
Telly: That's okay. It was a good idea.
Big Bird: You still have some of these presents to open.
Telly: Yeah, I think I'll open them later though. I'm gonna watch some TV.
Bry: Okay. Then in a little while, I'm gonna get the others and we'll go to Everybody Eats.

 

[The Count]

Sorry not too many more friends showed up for the party... But they know about your birthday and wish you well Telly.
Hope you like the gifts we got you.
Cookie: Party over?
Yes Cookie... Come on, let's get back to our room.
Cookie: But...
Come on, I have your special batch of cookies cooling downstairs.
CM: Why you not say so?!? *Runs downstairs and gets comfy on the couch propped up for him to sleep on.
CM: Oh, me can hardly wait!
Heh... Count, can you please take this box of Belgian chocolate cookies to Catherine in Room #20?
Count: Yes my fiend.
Good, want to thank her for her help... And maybe get her on my side should I need help brainstorming for future fic additions.
*Heads downstairs to get a glass of milk and chocolate chip shell cookies for Cookie Monster.

Bry: (On the phone with Dr. Teeth) Are you sure it's okay. You're not going anywhere? Oh I see...you haven't driven it since the seventies. You're kidding! Thanks, Doc! Bye! (hangs up) Okay, it's time to go out for dinner! I'm gonna go warm up the bus.
Ernie: Bus?
Bry: Oh, yeah. The Electric Mayhem bus. I asked Dr. Teeth if it was okay. I'll be right back. I'm leaving you incharge to round up the gang. (goes to warm up the bus)
Ernie: Okay. Role call! Let's see if we have everyone here. (reads off of list) Big Bird?
Big Bird: (Raises wing) Here!
Ernie: (looks up and nods; checks list again) Prairie Dawn?
Prairie: Here!
Ernie: Rosita?
Rosita: Aqui!
Ernie: Gracias!
Rosita: De nada.
Ernie: (laughing) Khekhekhe! Uuuh...Telly Monster?
Telly: Here!
Ernie: The man of the hour! (continues with list) Ol' buddy Bert?
Bert: (stiffly) Present.
Ernie: No, Bert. You don't get a present. It's Telly's birthday!
Bert: Ernie!
Ernie: *Snickers* Umm...Grover?
Grover: In the fur! Ah ha ha!
Ernie: Herry Monster?
Herry: Right here!
Ernie: Rubber Duckie?
Rubber Duckie: *Squeak*
Ernie: Check! Okay, I think that's it.
Bert: Ernie, did you really need to read us off a list? You know who we are.
Ernie: Just another nonesense prop, Bert.
Bry: Okay, the bus is all ready!
Herry: Are we still going to Everybody Eats?
Bry: Actually, I have changed my mind. This is a special day, so we will have a special dinner. We are going to Charlie's!
Bert: Fancy!
Bry: Uh oh...Grover, you don't have to work, do you?
Grover: Actually, no. I took the whole rest of the day off from all my jobs. This way, I can enjoy dinner with all of my friends.
Bry: Good.
Grover: Of course...I am the only waiter at Charlie's Resteraunt.
Bry: So if we went there, we wouldn't get any service?
Grover: Now that you mention it, that would be right. In fact, no one would! What a shame. And Friday nights are usually the busiest rush. Oh, all those poor hungry people!
Bry: *Sigh* Okay...back to plan A.
Herry: Everybody Eats?
Bry: Yep!
(Everyone goes to the bus)

(occupants of Chez News are clustered around the kitchen table, over the Clue board)

(MN is Mrs. Peacock, Nora is Mrs. White and Storyteller is Miss Scarlet)

Storyteller: (rolling dice and moving piece) Billiard room. All right...Mr. Green, in the billiard room, with the poison.
MN: I've got Green and poison. (puts cards in middle of board) My turn. (rolls and moves) Professor Plum, in the dining room...with the hand grenade.
Nora: Whaaa?!
Storyteller: There's no hand grenade in the weapons stack! Let me see that.
MN: (cackling) Just kidding! Professor Plum, in the dining room with the candlestick.
Storyteller: Dining room and candlestick. (flips two cards out and puts them in the middle)
Nora: (sighs) I'm not doing so well tonight. (rolls and moves) Mrs. Peacock, in the study, with the knife.

 

[The Count]

*Overhearing goings-on...
Well, poison isn't one of the six Clue weapons either. Unless you gals have some sort of special edition with more ways to kill off Mr. Body...
Count: Ah, that reminds me... Uncle Deadly has the Halloveen wersion. Such frightful fun vhen ve play that one.

Oh and Bry... Pigno Monster might be waiting tables at Charlie's to cover for Grover taking the night off. So you could still head off to have dinner there, if you wanted. Course, there's also Everybody Eats or Friendly's...
Your call buddy.
