Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[BeakerSqueedom]

Claudia: Mona lisa, Mona lisa, men have named you;
you're so like the lady with the mystic smile.

Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you?
For that Mona lisa strangeness in your smile?

-Brushes fingers lightly over the object she sings about-

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep . . .
They just lie there and they die there . . .
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art?

-Instrumental Interlude-

Blind Pew: -Crying- Pirates are not supposed tu cry! ;_;

Beaker: -Cuddles beside Pew, patting his hand lovingly, sighing into his neck-

Blind Pew: -Has a "***?" face on-

Claudia: Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep,
They just lie there and they die there.

Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Mona Lisa . . .

Mona Lisa~

Bunsen: -Huffs and rips off the wig Claudia forced on him, tearing off his pretty dress, only to reveal his lab coat- For the last time, Claudia, I am not Mona lisa! No more sugar for you, dearie. -Shakes his head-

I am not an object of play, you - ooooh! You hussy! -Fumes-

Claudia: WAIT! I WANNA SING ABOUT YOU AGAIN, MONA!

Bunsen: -Wipes off the lipstick Claudia duped him into wearing-

Claudia: D: NO . . . don't take off your earrings too! ;_; THOSE ARE CHANEL BLING BLINGS, YAH HEAR?

Beaker: o_0

 

[The Count]

I know I've heard that song before. *Wondering if I should buy the Jessica Lisa painting pin this summer. No, think I'll pass and try to get the single Constance pin from the Friday the 13th Eve of Valentine's Day instead.

*Offers hot choc to Squeaky. *Needin' a little lovin'.

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (reading nursing textbook, rubs forehead): I have SUCH a headache....

Spike (looks over her shoulder): ...

...

O_O

(shakes head) I used ta make fun o' humans. You guys CLEARLY have it bad in da baby department. *shudders*

Kelly (half-smiling): Yeah, none of that "just lay an egg and be done with it" for us. We always have to be complicated.

Spike (desperate to change subject): I wonder how da little squirt's doin'?

Kelly (shrugs): Dunno. Haven't heard anything. *smiles* You actually MISS her, don't you?

Spike: Of course not! Just don't want Buzzard-Beak ta get hold o' her, dat's all. If I'm not allowed ta eat her, no one else should get dat pleasure.

Kelly (still rubbing forehead): God, why don't I have Tylenol? I'm sure she's fine, Spike. She should get the opportunity to talk to Waldo. I think he has a thing for her. *giggles, then notices Spike about to leave with a dress* What ... you're not SERIOUSLY thinking of wearing that thing, are you?

Spike (smirks): She said I had ta wear it ... never said HOW ... heheh!

*Spike walks around, debating the most shameless thing he could do to the dress.*

 

[RedPiggy]

Spike (shakes Kelly): 'Ey, wake up, toots.

Kelly: ZZZZZZ... wha-huh?

Spike: You a'ight? You been out for thirteen hours.

Kelly (smiles dreamily): MMmmm ... thirteen ... *yawn* ... hours. *finally opens eyes* Spike? What're you doing here?

Spike: I, uh , LIVE here (more or less). Remember?

Kelly (sits up, yawns): Oh, yeah. *stretches* Man, that felt good. My headache totally went away.

Spike (leans back): Little Bit never got back, neither.

Kelly: Cotterpin? I let her go stay with Waldo. It's alright. She doesn't always spend the night in the dorms anyway. There's a tunnel that leads to Doozer Dome in that hole you made. She ususally just goes back home to sleep. She's fine, Spike. *yawn* She'll come back when she's good and ready. *smirks* She doesn't owe you money or anything, right?

Spike (rolls eyes): Nah -- just like ta keep track o' everybody, is all. *grins* Took care o' da dress, by da way.

Kelly (groans): Ick. What did you do with it?

Spike: You REALLY wanna know?

Kelly: Am I going to hear it anyway?

Spike (shakes head): Nah -- you got too much stuff ta worry 'bout anyway. Let's just say dat when da Kid picks up da package I left for her in dat front counter in da lobby, she may want gloves. *cackles*

Kelly: You are a sick, sick puppy, Spike.

 

[Kiki]

Katie: *Still in bed, asleep, dreaming. And drooling...* Kakorot! No... Kakorot, don't! Don't you- nuuuuu...!

Mick: *Loudly* 'Oo the 'ell is Kakorot? Is i' li' a carrot aw something?

Katie: *wakes up* Hmm...? Argh... my head is killing me... X_X

Ploobis: Here... *gives Katie a cup of coffee*

Katie: *Sips the coffee sleepily* Er, thankyer's... PAH! This tastes /stale/!

Don: My piano... it's... it's here! =D *Jumps up and down* *Atempts to do a cartwheel, but being un-co and unathletic, he fails and falls down*

Mick: *Rolls his eyes and grabs the cup of coffee off Katie*

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

(It's just the two Muppets in room 7, as the two Fraggles and the lone human are off elsewhere at the moment.)

Nora: (studying a script while sitting on a stool next to a puppet theater shaped like a castle) So they're thinking about doing this on the Muppet Show later on?
Scooter: (down inside theater) Probably after we do that show with the pole-vaulting squirrels. (pokes head up) It's hard work getting those acorn shells out of the lighting.
Nora: I'll bet. (starts humming) Ready when you are.
Scooter: Okay. (ducks back down, points remote control at stereo) "Toy Soldiers," by Martika.

(Song starts playing.)

Nora: (singing) It wasn't my intention to mislead you,
It never should have been this way...what can I say?
It's true, I did extend the invitation, I never knew how long you'd stay...

(As Nora sings, Scooter uses some puppets to act out the story of "The Steadfast Tin Soldier," by Hans Christian Andersen.)

When you hear temptation call...it's your heart that takes, takes a fall...
*Won't you come out and play with me...*

Step by step, heart to heart, left right left,
We all fall down, like toy soldiers...
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win
But the battle wages on...for toy soldiers.

It's getting hard to wake up in the morning,
My head is spinning constantly...how can it be?
How could I be so blind to this addiction,
If I don't stop...the next one's gonna be me...

(By now, Scooter has the soldier riding on the paper boat toward the sea.)

Only emptiness remains...it replaces all other pains...
*Won't you come out and play with me?*

Step by step, heart to heart, left right left,
We all fall down, like toy soldiers...
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win
But the battle wages on, for toy soldiers.

(By now, the soldier is back in the playroom, facing the dancer.)

Only emptiness remains...it replaces all other pains...
*Won't you come out and play with me?*

Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down, like toy soldiers...
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win
But the battle wages on, for toy soldiers.

(As Nora sings the chorus a few more times, a marbled heart with the dancer's tin rose attached to it rises up from the theater on a string and comes to land in her hands.)

Scooter: (popping up) That went better than I thought.
Nora: Yeah, the hovering heart was a nice touch. Who rigged it up?
Scooter: Oh, Beaker did that. He helped the crew out when Bunsen wasn't making him try edible paper clips or Insta-Gro Pills.

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (watching TV): O_O

Spike (rolls eyes): Please ... for da love o' ....

Kelly (jumps up and down, squealing like a maniac): New preview! New preview! EEEEK!

Spike: Help me here, toots: You wanna watch a movie ... about a kid ... who turns inta a giant monkey ... an' beats da daylights outta some green slug guy?

Kelly (nods vigorously, still jumping up and down): April 8! Must see! Ka-me- ... hey, you know what would make it PERFECT?

Spike (facepalms): Have a feelin' I'm about ta find out....

Kelly (squeals): Vegeta! He's all KINDS of handsome! He won't be in it ... 'cause the movie takes place before him ... but *sighs, falls down dreamily*.

 

[RedPiggy]

Spike: So, where's Little Bit again?

Kelly: For HEAVEN'S SAKE, Spike ... Cotterpin's with Ailie. Get a grip!

Spike: Don't ya want her back? She's been gone for more dan jus' one night!

Kelly (laughs): You are SO adorable! Besides ... Cait has a thing tonight. If we let Cotterpin hang out with her still ... she can tell us all about it when she comes back. We need SOMEONE to watch it for us! *pause* Besides, you go off for days on end.

Spike: ....

Kelly (grins): Never thought I'd see the day where you would really miss a Doozer.... Heehee!

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (bolts up out of bed): AAAAAAAAH!

Spike (messin' around at the laptop, smiling): What is it dis time, toots?

Kelly (panting): Bad ... memories ... looking down in my car ... jumping the curb ... I tried to pull out of it but it was too late ... I smacked the light pole, crunching my car.

Spike: Ouch. When'd dat happen?

Kelly: It was in 1997, I think. *does math* I was 19.

Spike: Way to go, hehe.

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (comes back from the movies, to Spike): O_O *giggles*

Spike (reads some magazines on his bed): How was da flick? What did you see?

Kelly: Some movie named "Knowing". Dude, it's one of those "OMG the world is going to end" idiotic flicks.

Spike: ....

Kelly: What? I've seen more of them than I care to. What would you think about some stupid flick telling you the whole world was going to end in a huge explosion?

Spike (puts down magazine): Di-no-saur.

Kelly: Ooooooh... right, right. My bad.

Spike (starts reading again): I hear Lil' Purple Guy's lookin' for some attention. Why doncha go bug him?

Kelly: First of all, Ed and the Count are two different people.

Spike (smirks): We are who we associate wit', right?

Kelly (rolls eyes, sighing): You can be such a jerk. *goes across the hall and knocks on Room 1* Ed, ya there? Wanna hang out?
