Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(whir of mixer in room 7's kitchen)

Erin: Nora, pass me the flour mixture, would you?
Nora: Coming over! (hands over large bowl of flour, baking powder and salt)
Erin: Thank you kindly. (starts to pour it into the cake batter) Storyteller, would you start softening a few more sticks of unsalted butter?
Storyteller: Already done, and I've zested and juiced the oranges.
Erin: And the pineapple?
Storyteller: Cored and juiced.
Erin: Excellent...(stops mixer, scrapes down bowl and starts to divide batter between three greased layer pans)
Nora: How many of these cakes are we making?
Erin: At least three - 'cause we're feeding the RHLC crew, the dorm residents and anyone else who wants to drop in. (puts pans into oven, since heated to 350 degrees)
Storyteller: All right, I'll get to work on the glaze.
Erin: The baking chocolate's in the cabinet on the right. (starts to make orange-pineapple glaze) Nora, peel and cube those mangos and mix them with some lemon zest and sugar. That's for the sorbet.
Nora: I'm on it.
Erin: And do it over the sink, 'cause they're a tad ripe.

Adam: *finishes painting the ceiling black* Never thought it would look this bad*

*Boppity and Gloat walk in*

Adam: I tought you said black would look good on the ceiling, it looks horrible

Boppity: Makes us feel more at home, anyway, we got decorations

Adam: Like what?

Gloat: Spider webs, candles, stuff like that

Adam: But we were supposed to be happy living here!

Boppity: We'll be happy

Adam: What about me? I bought this place!

Gloat: We got you a rubber duck *smiles*

Adam: *refrains from beatin them* Did you apologise to the guy you assaulted?

Boppity: He started running after us so we super-glued him to a Jeep

Adam: That's it *grabs them both by the scruff and chucks them out the door* Go for a walk or something, leave me alone for an hour or so, and get some cookies while your at it! *closes door*

Gloat: He'll be smiling again in ten minutes

Boppity: I know, lets get some cookies

Bunsen:

*Looks sympathetically at Bobbity and Gloat and shakes his head as he once again begins to polish up his spectacles with a little blue rag* Try living with the female species--they're the most complex creatures on Earth. For instance, try to borrow her long time childhood plush toy for a little experiment and she tries to throw you out the window as a poor attempt to rescue her beloved toy or make her a temporary guinea pig for a perfectly safe experiment and she goes out running with screams capable of physical torture.

Beaker:

Meep mee!

Bunsen:

Oh yes, Adam is highly merciful compared to our demoni- *Sees a happy Claudia skip their way* ...er little bundle of giggles and fun! *Gulps as he fiddles with his glasses*

Claudia:
I PASSED THE TEST ! THE NIGHTMARE IS GONE! *Smothers the nerdy two with kisses and hugs*

Bunsen:
OH DEAR!

Beaker:
MEEEEHELP!

(in the now completely cake-scented kitchen of room 7)

Nora: Woof...four cakes, at three layers apiece...I can't believe it.
Erin: Believe it, and pass me the bowl of orange sauce while you're at it. (starts to set up bottom layers on cake plates, spreading a generous bit of sauce on top)
Storyteller: Nice...next layers, now.
(and cycle continues until all four cakes are assembled)
Erin: (smearing last bit of orange sauce on top of all 4) Now for the glaze...Storyteller, that's your job.
(S. picks up the bowl of chocolate glaze and drizzles it all over the top and sides of each cake)
Erin: Nice...wait, one last touch...Nora, would you get that bowl of sliced almonds I toasted earlier?
Nora: Here you go...(ice cream mixer dings) And the sorbet's done; I'll get that into the freezer before it decides to melt.
(E. takes the almonds, and sprinkles them in a large 'RH' on the top of one of the cakes, which had been made slightly larger than the others)
Erin: All done.
Nora: Why just that one?
Erin: Well, it seems we're celebrating multiple birthdays tomorrow...but this one will be the centerpiece cake. (picks up phone) Ed, the cakes and sorbet are all done.

PETER: The Semester is almost here, so why don't we go school shopping at Wal-Mart

ZOE: Yes, because I need some new clothes

BABY BEAR: Because I need a new binder

LITTLE BIRD: And I'm thinking of what should I get for Birdkateers

[The Count]

*Passed out on bed, unconscious what with the projects still left to finish, as he's busy as a bat in restless flight.
The Count got Erin's message and let her know that there'll be a notice dutifully posted tomorrow announcing the celebrations.

B-Day Announcement.

Hello from the dorms management team.

We'd like to let everybody know that there's a mega-bash planned for later today. Why's that? Because we're celebrating birthdays for Alex, known here as Beakerfan, Janice, Beaker, Don Music, and... the man of the day, Richard Hunt.
Count: 5 fabulous festive birthdays!
*Thunder and lightning can be heard and seen outside.

So if you want to help, talk to Erin in Room #7 as she's our resident RHLC leader or any of the people who room with the corresponding celebrateurs.
Hope to see you there today and have a great day.

(Erin enters with a vase and a pair of scissors)

Erin: Let's see...R is for the rip-roaring laughs you gave us, I is for the insane antics you created...C is for the cackles we kept hearing from the trenches...um, H is for Henry, the middle name your parents gave you...

(clips a large bunch of peonies from the bush growing in the pot in the kitchen - need to get that transplanted to the courtyard, with Ed's permission - and puts them in water)

Erin: Okay, let's see...um...A is for the A-plus puppeteer that you are...or were...R is for the Rock of Fraggles, which you appeared on...and D is for director, which you were for "The Honk of Honks." (pause, then sighs) I've done better.

(up in heaven)

Richard: Bad case of writer's block?

(down here)

Erin: Yes...and for me it's chronic.
Richard: Too bad...nice group of peonies, though.

(Ed: do I have permission to invite the rest of the RHLC - the non-dorm residents - in for the fete?)
