Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[BEAR]

Ernie: Hey, Bryan, you sure missed a great game last week. And a great party.
Bry: Was it a bottlecap party?
Bert: Huh?
Bry: When I came in last night, I noticed bottlecaps all over the floor. And I thought Ernie was the messy one, Bert.
Bert: I didn't do that! Ernie!
Ernie: You see, Ally's birthday party was this weekend and Ryan had forgotten to bring the present, so Bert voluteered to donate his bottlecap collection.
Bert: I...I volunteered?!
Bry: Really? Well, that was very generous of you. And why are all the bottlecaps still on the floor?
Ernie: Ryan found the real present.
Bry: Uh huh...Ernie, would you please help Bert clean up this mess?
Ernie: (realizing he's been defeated) Sure thing, Bryan.
Bert: Be careful! They're sorted alphabetically by soda brand.
Telly: Did you say you brought us back some souveneirs, Bryan?
Bry: I sure did! (reaches into a bag and pulls out 4 small trolly cars.) Here you go! One for each of you.
Telly: Wow!
Big Bird: It's beautiful!
Ernie: Hey, that's pretty neat. Isn't it, Bert?
Bert: Yeah.
Big Bird: It reminds me of Mister Rogers' trolly.
Bry: Glad you like them. (Holds up a wrapped box) Also have one here for Ally along with a box of Ghirardelli chocolates. Hope she likes it. Got it straight from the factory there at the Square.
Telly: What square?
Bry: Ghirardelli Square.
Telly: Did they have any triangles in San Francisco?
Bry: (Laughing) You silly monster! Do me a favor and take this to Ally's room.
Telly: Okay! (Telly delivers Ally her birthday present)
Bry: The Count's birthday is tomorrow.
Big Bird: Really? What are we gonna do?
Bry: I dunno, but I'm sure we'll here something from Ed about that soon.

Oscar: *pops up from trashcan and yells* HAVE A ROTTEN DREAM!

Grover: I have alway loved that grouch. *blows Oscar a kiss and shuts the door*

Everyone laughs

Oscar: *from inside the trashcan* It's not funny! Oh do I hate it here.

Big Bird's voice (as Hoots plays a sleepy theme): Muppet Dorms were sponsored today by the letter x and by the number 16. Goodnight.

 

[The Count]

Hi guys... As you may have surmissed... My roomie's birthday is today. There'll be a party in the evening hours... Dunno how much I'll be here in person though. I'm entrusting the details and everything to Bryan and Kyle or Ryan.
Think he has a few things he's been wanting as presents, will ask him later and let you guys know. Of course, I'm sure that the thought of you guys having the party for him will be enough to put a smile on that counter's countenance.

Good day everybody.

 

[theprawncracker]

Me: Ooh, The Count's birthday is today!
Uncle Deadly: Ah, fantastic. It'll surely be a marvelous party.
Robin: Oh yeah! It's gonna be a lot of fun! I love parties!
Me: Yup! Okay Robin, let's head out and buy Count a gift. Uncle D. you make sure that Gonzo doesn't do anything Gonzo-like.

 

[Leyla]

<Leyla wakes up in her hammock to find a wise assortment of different muppet eyes staring at her. Startled, she deals with this surprise in the best way she knows how... by falling out of the hammock.>

Fozzie: Oh! Are you okay?

Kermit: <taking charge> Okay, okay, just back up everyone, give her some room. <Leyla groggily sits up> Are you alright? Did you hit your head?

Leyla: <slowly> I'm... I'm supposed to be surrounded by muppets right now, right?

Kermit: Yup.

Leyla: Then... I'm okay. Um... good morning!

Hilda: Technically dear, it's afternoon. And don't blush about the fall. I can't tell you how often I would wake up shocked that I was associated with all these weirdo's.

Piggy: Moi knows exactly how you feel!

<Hilda gives her a long look.>

Hilda: Yes.

Kermit: That feeling does pass eventually, though.... I think. I'm still kind of waiting.

Leyla: Oh, well, it wasn't so much being associated with weirdos as finding them all staring at me. I do spend a fair amount of time with Lisa, and Prawnie and Beau and Ru ...so, you know... I'm really okay with weirdos.
Hmm... that didn't quite come out the way I meant it. So... why were you staring at me?

Hilda: <dryly> We were staring because there was this weird girl in a hammock sleeping into the afternoon.

Piggy: And I want pancakes. <She yawns dramatically>

Kermit: You must be tired. You slept right through Gonzo's visit. It's the Count's birthday today.

Leyla: Oh! That's lovely. We'll have to go out and get him something... or lots of something so he can count them.

Piggy: After the pancakes.

Leyla: <also yawning> Of course! He can drop by and count those too if he likes.

Fozzie: Leyla, why are so you tired today?

Leyla: Oh, didn't Piggy tell you?

Fozzie: No.

Kermit: Does she ever tell us anything?

Piggy: Watch it, frog!

Leyla: Oh, c'mon now, none of that. Keep me a happy Leyla will you, it was a rough night, as I told Piggy when I came home at 2AM last night.

Kermit: What were you doing up that late, Piggy?

Piggy: Oh... um, nothing Kermie... just a bit of insomnia, that's all.

Leyla: She was missing Catherine, Kermit. We had a nice chat-

Piggy <quickly> Don't tell her moi missed her! <deliberately calm> It will just go straight to her head.

Kermit: I miss her too, Piggy.

Fozzie: Yeah, me too.

Leyla: I'm sure she misses all of you. I miss her and Lisa, and all my travelling real life friends. It's been so quiet, despite the holiday.

Piggy: <happily> I liked celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving. Imagine. Two Thanksgiving's this year. Why you celebrate it so early is beyond moi though. Crazy.

Leyla: <giggles> Yes, well, if we waited until November like they do in America, we would be far too cold to be thankful. Personally, I'm just thankful to be home from the hospital.

Kermit: Hospital? Oh no, what happened?

Piggy: Don't panic. She's fine. Moi would have woken you all up last night if she wasn't.

Leyla: It wasn't for me, Kermit. My friend called me from her cell phone thinking she had broken her toe at the end of a very unpleasant evening. So I met her at the hospital while they put a cast on, just to keep her calm. I babbled a lot of strange hospital stories to her at lightning speeding. Rambling to make her feel better... sort of like the way I write.

Kermit: <frowning> I've been meaning to talk to you about that.

Piggy: Oh, Kermie, you can't object to her writing, surely! We live with Catherine after all!

Kermit: Well, I don't exactly object to the um... <he looks at Piggy and blushes> but she knocked you over the head and I'm way too far away to do anything, and she hasn't updated in forever!

Piggy: Yeah, that's right! You did! and you haven't!

Leyla: Whoa, easy now. I've been writing; I really have, but it's been busy, and mostly I've been working on some future stories.

Fozzie: So... um... like Pigs in Space? That kind of future? Or like where Gonzo leaves us to go in to space to save his family and there's this big battle with this scary guy and we all got chained together and almost went into a pit and Robin was-

Kermit: <alarmed> What about Robin?

Fozzie: Nothing!

Leyla: No, no, not that kind of future story, dear. I meant upcoming, but I will try to get something up for "Something" soon.

Kermit: <perplexed> Something up for something?

Leyla: Yeah.... lousy title. what was I thinking?

Piggy: I'm not getting any younger over here waiting for these pancakes! <quickly> Nor am I getting older. I'm staying exactly the same!

Kermit: Yup. Perfect, as usual, honey... um...

Piggy: <delightlly moving towards him> Why thank you Kermie!

Hilda: She's not getting any slimmer either.

Piggy: <instantly distracted from Kermit> What did she say?!

Leyla: Hilda! I told you to be nice! No, PIggy! Dont-

Piggy: Hiii-ya! <Hilda dodges and Piggy hits a lamp which instantly becomes an ex-lamp>

Leyla: Oh dear. Hilda, you are SO grounded.

Piggy: Oh, I'm sorry about the lamp.

Leyla: That's alright. It was an ugly lamp anyway.

Piggy: Well, moi didn't want to say anything but-

Kermit <hastily> So... who wants pancakes, huh?

 

[BEAR]

Bry: Alright, gang! Time to head out to find a gift for Count's birthday!
(Big Bird, Telly, Bert and Ernie follow me out)

 

[The Count]

*Arriving back at dorms. OK guys, I'll be down here in my room working on that paper.
(The party plans for this evening are up to Bryan and Kyle or Ryan as I said earlier).

Count: You know... Vonder vhat to get myself for my birthday. Have had my eye on some of those numbered batty beauty dolls/figurines at the toy shop. Then again, there are a great number of many other things I could pick out as a gift. Some creepy plush animals or a new counting case for all the fanfictional tales in the library... Oh, I'm positively pleased counting the possibilities of vhat I could get myself for my birthday. Think I'll just go and vatch some telewision vhile Ed vorks in our room.
*The Count leaves to watch TV in the downstairs common room.

 

[BEAR]

(at the shopping center)
Bry: Hmm...wonder if any of the other guys have ideas of what to do for The Count. Maybe I'll call up Ryan and ask him if he can get things set up at the dorms while I pick up the food.
Big Bird: Hoots should be over there a bit later.
Telly: Yeah, he would know what to do.
Bry: Yeah...After we're done shopping here, we'll get back to the dorms to do some decorating.
