Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[Skeeter Muppet]

*comes in and sits on the bed*

Gillis: Kim? Everything okay?

Yeah. Guys, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is, we're getting a new roommate.

Tosh: Who?

*there's a knock on the door* Come in!

Boober: *sticking his head in* Room 15, right?

Tosh: *gasps* Boober! *runs up and hugs him*

Boober: Uh, hi Tosh.

Hey, Boober. Welcome to the nuthouse.

Boober: Nuthouse?

Sorry; just a little expression. Go ahead and bring all your stuff in. Your bed's over here, underneath mine, and I've cleared out some space in the closet dresser for your extra hats and scarves and whatever else you've brought with you.

Gillis: One question; what happened to the comfy chair?

No room for it with Boober moving in. I wasn't going to stick any of you guys with a hammock in the closet, so I got rid of it. Besides, beds are as good as comfy chairs for lounging on, and we've still got the beanbag chairs. And I've moved the microfridge into the closet beside the dresser...on my side of the closet, Beast, not yours. Anyway, enough talk; let's get Boober moved in!

*In no time Boober is completely moved into Room 15. His bed, beneath Kim's, is made up with white sheets, a red blanket and a brown comforter. The cases on the pillows are the same color as his comforter. He doesn't have a nightstand, but there is a peg on the wall by his bunk for him to hang his hat and scarf. Extra scarves hang in the Fraggles' side of the closet near Tosh's dresses and Gillis' coats, and a couple spare hats sit on top of the closet dresser. On Kim's side of the closet next to the clothes hamper sits Boober's laundry basket, detergent, fabric softener, stain remover and other laundry paraphenalia*

Boober: So, what's the bad news?

Hmm?

Boober: You were saying something about bad news when I came in. So, what's the bad news?

Well, my grandmother's not doing so great. They think she had a heart attack while she was in the hospital, and her brain was deprived of oxygen too long. It's only a short matter of time before...

Anyway, when the time comes I might be absent from the dorm for a few days. It's up to you guys whether or not you want to stay here while I'm gone, or come with me. But whatever you decide is all right with me.

I'm sorry, Boober. This really isn't any way to welcome you to our room.

Boober: It's okay; I understand.

Why don't we go out for ice cream before heading for bed? My treat.

Tosh: Yeah, ice cream!

Gillis: Ice cream does sound good right now.

Beast: *growls a question*

Yes, Beast. With sprinkles.

Bry: Telly, are you okay?
Telly: I can't sleep.
Bry: Oh?
Telly: No, and niether can Chuckie Sue.
Bry: Chuckie Sue? Oh...your hamster. Well, is there something on your mind that is bothering you?
Telly: I dunno. I guess it's just everything that has happened this week.
Bry: You mean Jerry?
Telly: Yeah, and Mr. Bobhopesite. It still makes me really kinda saaad.
Big Bird: Boy, I know what you mean, Telly. It's a lot like when Mr. Looper died. I was so sad for the longest time. I still get a little sad sometimes when I think of how I miss him. But then I remember all the wonderful times I had with him, and it makes me feel a little better.
Snuffy: Hey, Bird? Where do you think people go when they die?
Big Bird: Gee...I dunno, Snuff.
Bry: Well, I am not exactly sure either, but I am almost certain he is in a wonderful place right now, smiling and laughing and making up more wonderful stories in his imagination.
Big Bird: Oh boy, he sure had a good one too! Haha.
Telly: I guess I am just scared.
Bry: Its fine to be scared, Telly, but you know what else? What do you suppose Jerry Juhl would do in this situation?
Telly: What?
Bry: Listen... (Rosita is plucking on her guitar and Hoots the Owl is at the window playing his saxaphone)

(singing)Here in the middle of imagination,
Right in the middle of my head.
I close my eyes,
And my room's not my room
And my bed isn't really my bed.
I look inside
And discover things
That are sometimes
Strange and new.
And the most remarkable
Thoughts I think
Have a way of being true.

Big Bird: Here in the middle of imagination,
Right in the middle of my mind.
I close my eyes
And the night isn't dark
And the things that I lose, I find.

Rosita: Time stands still,
And the sky is clear
And the wind is warm and fair.

Bry: And the nicest place
Is the middle of imagination
When I'm there.

Telly: That was beautiful. Thanks. I feel a bit better. Thanks, guys.
Bry: Just dream of wonderful things that you love. That's what Jerry would have done I'm sure.
Telly: Like triangles?
Bry: Like triangles.
(singing) ...and the nicest place
Is the middle of imagination
When...I'm...there.....

Goodnight, Telly. And goodnight, Jerry and Kieth.

(we all go to sleep)

Nice to see Boober finally made it... And now the Fraggle Five's all here at the dorms.
Kim, when you get a chance for Boober's robe design, please send it in. But I understand if you have other things on your mind right now. You have my condolensces, and I can empathize a little since my paternal grandmother... Well, it was a couple of weeks ago that we had to brace what happened.
Best of luck to you and yours Kim. Will be here if anyone needs me.

Telly: Hey Tutter_fan, What games should we put in the gameroom/arcade?

Tutter_fan: Well, I don't know, let's see what our dorm roommates have to say!

 

[The Count]

Huh? Uh, tutter_fan... Did you mean to say "Bunsen"? Cause Telly Monster's already rooming with Bryan upstairs in Room #29.
LMK if there's anything I can help you with.

Red: Kathy and Prairie you are more than welcome in our room anytime! We're happy to share our movies with you!
Mokey: Yeah, we're watching Great Muppet Caper next, come on in and share some popcorn.
Red: Beth had some stuff she had to do, but she'll be back in time for our Muppet Show marathon this afternoon
Mokey: What about the game tonight?
Red: Oh, we'll still have the game as usual. It's home game remember? I don't have to be there until 6:00.
Mokey: And the game's at 6:30?
Red: Yep
Mokey: Will their be a special tribute at the game for Mr. Juhl and bobhopesite?
Red: Yes, I think a moment of silence or something will be appropriate
Mokey: Sounds good.

Bry: Good morning, everyone. Hi, Telly. Did you sleep okay last night?
Telly: Oh yeah. Slept like a baby! Hehe.
Bry: Good! Well, I need to go to the optometry store to look at some new glasses. Anyone wanna come?
Rosita: I can't. I have a guitar lesson soon.
Snuffy: Yeah, and I am gonna watch!
Telly: I'll go!
Big Bird: (jumping up and down) Ooh me too, me too!
Bry: Haha! Okay Big Bird. You can come. Come on, Telly. Have a good lesson, Rosita. We'll see you guys later.
Rosita: Adios!
Snuffy: Bye!

PETER: Sounds good, why don't we play with Big Bird and Telly until we get on the bus to go to the game.

Hi Peter. There's no bus this week... Seeing as how the game'll be played here at MC All-Stars Stadium.

BTW: Got a biggg box a while ago. Strange, since I already picked up this morning's mail round noontime.
And lo and behold... 7 more items for my Muppets collection!
S4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 are now all complete. Just a dozen more and the thing will be 100% complete.
Course, this'll be the last haul I'll add for now... Saving my moneys for a computer system.
Have a great weekend everyone!
