On Monday, Robin met his roommate. There was a brief moment of semi-awkward silence as the two studied each other.

"You are a frog." his roommate pointed out.

"Yes I am. I'm Robin and you're a..." He had no idea.

"I am a King Prawn okay!" his roommate declared loudly and proudly. "You may call me Pepe."

"Is that your name?"

"Si si, why else would you call me Pepe?"

"Good point."

At that point their meeting was interrupted when a small group of freshmen girls (a mix of humans and Muppets) stopped by the room.

"Oh my God!" one of them cried out. "You're Robin!"

Both Robin and Pepe gaped at the recognition.

"I love your uncle!" the girl squeed. The others followed suite with their own declarations of admiration for some of the Muppets, and even one or two had direct praise for Robin.

When the girls had gone, Pepe draped two arms around Robin's shoulder. "You an me," he said, "Are going to be very good friends okay."

On Tuesday, Robin had his first dance class.

"Jesus Christ!" their instructor shouted once they had taken their places along the bar. "I have never seen a more pathetic, disgraceful bunch of fecal matter in all my life! You have the nerve to call yourselves dancers?"

Robin had been warned about this man in advance.

"Welcome to Jazz and Tap 101 Maggots! In this class you will work! You will stretch! You will feel like your legs are about to fall off! And then you will keep going! You will be graceful! You will learn rhythm! You will-"

His tirade cut off when he reached Robin's place in line. Robin was still the smallest Muppet in class. So much so that the instructor didn't see him at first.

"TA! Who's missing?!"

"Uh, no one sir."

"Then where in hell is-"

"I'm down here sir!" Robin called out.

The Instructor fixed Robin with a scowl that almost rivaled Anakin. "Was I talkin' to you maggot?" Without waiting for a response he turned to his TA. "Pyle get this water breather a stool, I almost stepped on him."
