The lower neighbor was named Sarah, and she was not happy!
"Hey! I don't appreciate you falling through my ceiling like this!"
"Sorry..." Frank said. "It's the people above you." And Frank explained about Rebecca.
"Well, why didn't you say so? I know just what to do!"

And she went on to explain her idea. "Could work... say, I do have one question though" Frank asked
"Yes?" Asked Sarah.
"Are you a new supporting character?" (Laugh track)

"Maybe..." *laughtrack*
*cut to: Two Hours Later*
"Time to put our convoluted Rube Goldberg Machine Of Love into action!" *laughtrack*

"Awesome! So what does it do?" Frank asked.
"Well, first you sit on this chair, which causes the rope to snap, letting the car go down the ramp, hitting the loose block, sending it towards the ruler, which causes it to fall, which dislodges the pan, which swings out and hits the button, that turns on the oven, which boils the water, which heats up the pot, that causes the balloon to inflate and pop, the force of which dislodges the fire ax, which cuts the rope, thus freeing the..."
Frank was hit on the head with an anvil (Laugh track, applause)
"How the heck does this help me?!" Frank asked.
"It's not ready yet! I've got about 37 more parts to install; now help me with the rubber chickens and the pottery wheel!" Sarah said (Laugh track)

Two hours later, Frank stood outside Rebecca's door.
"You do realize I could have walked here, right?" He asked.
"Sure, but I had all these springs and hamster wheels lying around..." *laughtrack*
Frank took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Rebecca opened it.

"Oh, hello there. Frank, right?" Rebecca asked.
"Yes, that's me. How are you enjoying the new apartment?" Frank asked.
"It's very nice; good people around here too" she replied.
"Glad to hear it. So, about moving day... I trust your "big heavy thing" wasn't damaged too bad?" (Laugh track)

"No, it was fine, thanks for asking."
Frank knew it was now or never. "Um, Rebecca..."

"...so I was wondering; since you're new to the city, I was wondering if you'd like to hang out sometime? Since it's a pretty big place with a lot to see, I thought it would really help out to show you some good spots that aren't too far from here" Frank offered.
"Sure; that sounds nice. My roommate hasn't been around much due to picking up overtime,so it would be nice to get to know the area" she replied.
"Great; tomorrow is Saturday, so..."
"Drop by here at noon; then we'll get going" she said.
"Sounds good to me" Frank replied.
"Ok; see you later"
"Good night" Frank said, then Rebecca closed the door
"I did it... I actually did it" Frank thought to himself. But his moment was short lived. "GAH!" Frank screamed as he fell down the trap door. (Laugh track)
"Huh; another scream; oh well" Rebecca shrugged as she went back to the tv (laugh track)

Back in the apartment, the other four were talking to Sarah.
"You know, even though we live in a big urban apartment, we don't seem to know our neighbors that well." Tug observed.
"Maybe a future episode should explore that." TGC suggested.
"What do you mean "episode"?" Sarah asked. *laughtrack*
But they were interrupted by Frank running in screaming joyfully. *laughtrack*

"What happened Frank?" Tug asked.
"I finally talked to my neighbor without something overly ridiculous happening!" Frank said joyously
"But... you keep falling down their trap door" Toz pointed out
"Eh, I got used to it. Besides, we fall from the seventh floor regularly anyway and barely get hurt" Frank pointed out (laugh track)
"Huh?" Sarah asked, confused.
"Oh yea, you'd be surprised; the bushes the landlord plants around here are surprisingly soft and are fantastic at breaking falls" Eyes pointed out (laugh track)
"And what do you mean we don't really know our neighbors? I regularly visit Uncle Mark on the fourth floor" Frank pointed out
(Though yea, we should meet our members at some point)

"Well regardless, I'm off to bed" Frank said as he went to his room
(Scene change, next morning)
Frank is at the griddle making pancakes while everyone else is at the dining room table.
"So what are we doing?" Tug asked
"How the hell should I know? I thought we'd cut to me hanging out with Rebecca" Frank said (laugh track)
"No way... Frank said hell!" Eyes said, shocked

Suddenly, an alarm went off. Toz and Tug spontaneously sprouted hazmat suits, and a gate appeared over the door. *laughtrack*
"Protocol 69 initiated! Frank's pure, innocent mouth has been contaminated by foul language!" *laughtrack* "He must be treated and then quarantined for 24 hours!"
"But I have to get to Rebecca's!"
"TOO BAD!"
Meanwhile, Rebecca was talking to her roommate Rachelle.
"Hey Rebecca, sorry I was gone all of yesterday, I was helping out at the mosque. I can show you around the city today if you want! You can see the Eiffel Tower, the Statue Of Liberty, the Great Wall Of China..." *laughtrack*
"I'd love to, but Frank from the other apartment already offered."
"Well, he is the most stable of the five, I suppose." Rachelle looked over in their direction with a concerned look.
"He's not coming until noon though, so until then, I have a mystery to solve." Rebecca donned a deerstalker cap and a novelty plastic pipe. *laughtrack*
Rachelle rolled her eyes. "Oh, I see. You're as crazy as they are." *laughtrack*
"Now, miss Khan, I keep hearing screams from the apartment below us, as though someone is either being tortured or falling from a great height." *laughtrack* "I must get to the bottom of this mystery!"

(Cut to: Rebecca; on the sixth floor)
"So you're name is Travis?" She asked the man at 6A
"That's correct" he began
"And... you're a bus driver?"
"Indeed"
"Not a lot of potential here" she muttered (laugh track) then she went to 6D
"Hey babe; what's your name?" Dominic said in a really jerk-like manner
"Somehow I think you'll be around a bit even though no one like you" (laugh track) she groaned as she went to 6B... but Sarah wasn't home. So she went to 6C
"Hi, I'm Ashley, and this is Bethany, Carrie, Donna and Elaine; we're living together to save money while we attend college"
"That's... not what I asked" a confused Rebecca replied (laugh track)

How do I keep making posts that stump everybody?
......
But the time had come for the plot to move forward, so...
Frank emerged from the apartment, and closed the door. "I feel really bad for having to do this, but clearly its the only way to ensure their safety."
*Toz and tug are seen tied to chairs with chains and ropes... hanging upside down from the ceiling, toz has a lemon in his mouth, and tug has a bar of soap in his mouth, and they are suspended over... a pile of their week old laundry from gym day (laugh track)
[How the heck did Frank pull this off!?] Toz said through his muffled mouth
[You tell me, you're the one who turned away for a moment!] Tug replied
[How can we understand each other?]
[ Not sure about you; but I'm good at reading subtitles backwards ] (laugh track)
*Cut to: Frank and Rebecca meeting outside the building.
"... and these are the shrubs around the building; softicus landicus... they are renown for their ability to cushion people's falls from heights as great as 300 feet" Frank explained.
"Are you sure that's accurate?" Rebecca asked.
"Oh my God! I'm late for work!" Someone screamed as they leaped from the tenth floor... and landed safely in the bushes. (laugh track)
"Morning Frank" he said as he brushed himself off
"Oh, morning Ronald; late for the University again?" Frank asked.
"Indeed; sorry I can't talk, but I am not missing the last express bus" he said as he dashed off.
"Who's he?" Rebecca asked.
"Ronald; professor at a local university... there's some good folks in our building, and others not so much. You'll see in due time" Frank explained as they left to go look around town.

From behind a bush, Eyes and TGC popped out.
"We have to make sure Frank's date goes well!" Eyes yelled.
"I have to steal Frank's date with my White Face Troublesome Truck!" TGC yelled.
"Why you little!" And the two engaged in PHYSICAL COMEDY! (laughtrack)

So they proceeded to engage in some slapstick comedy a la the three stooges... that doesn't translate well into a written post *laugh track
......
Frank and Rebecca proceeded to walk down the street, with Frank showing her what was within reasonable walking distance of the apartment.
"... and over here we have the best bagel shop... and just two doors down is a really great pizza parlor. Oh, and over there is the high school, but you wouldn't have much need to go there. So what brings you here anyway?" Frank asked.
"I'm studying at University; majoring in astronomy" Rebecca said.
"Would that be Wendleton University?" Frank asked.
"Why yes; familiar with it?" Rebecca asked.
"Ronald works there... man, if he was your professor, what are the odds, right?"
"Maybe... what does he teach anyway?" Rebecca asked.
"I... don't know" Frank said, confused *laugh track

Frank and Rebecca proceeded to have a very nice afternoon around town. Frank was not one for bars and clubs, but much to his relief he found that Rebecca did enjoy museums as well, so they did enjoy seeing a couple around town.
When time came for dinner, they weren't quite sure what they wanted.
"I feel like a burger, but then again I could go for something like a steak" Frank began.
"I'm not sure what I want; we could go somewhere that has a little of everything" Rebecca proposed.
They stood there for a moment and thought.
"Cheesecake Factory?"
"Cheesecake factory" Rebecca agreed (laugh track), and they proceeded to head over to the branch in the city. For the first time in a while, Frank actually didn't feel so down. He was getting to know his neighbor and was out and about. It was a really nice day.
"You look rather happy Frank; enjoying yourself?" Rebecca asked.
"Oh, yes. See... I often feel like I live the kind of life where ridiculous things happen so often, its almost as if I solely exist for the purpose of... I don't know, people getting amusement from the situations I find myself in (laugh track). Just this once, it feels great to finally have a nice night and not have to worry about..."
"Hey, look out!" Someone shouted. Frank and Rebecca turned around. To their horror, a bunch of large pipes were rolling towards them. They began running for their lives.
"Where did those pipes even come from?!" Rebecca shouted.
"Honestly, in a city where there are landmarks from all over the world and shrubs that can cushion massive falls, I've come to accept that anything can happen around here without reasonable explanation" Frank stated (laugh track)
The two ran frantically down the street until they reached a point where they could turn into an alley to avoid the pipes. "In here!" Rebecca shouted. Frank tried to follow, but found himself stuck in the sidewalk.
"Huh?" Frank looked up to see a sign, "Warning: Quick drying cement" (laugh track). Then Frank looked up to see the pipes rolling towards him
"Frank!!" Rebecca shouted.
"Why do these things ALWAYS happen to me?!" Frank said as he practically began crying and the pipes came ever closer.

As the pipes got closer, Frank suddenly realized.
"Hang on, those are just normal-sized drinking straws and really forced perspective!" *laughtrack*
"Well duh, this is a closed set." Rebecca pointed out. "That's not even real cement." *laughtrack*
Frank stepped out and the two continued on their merry way.

They enjoyed a nice meal at the Cheesecake Factory, and in typical Cheesecake Factory fashion they enjoyed plentiful portions and had leftovers to take home. They made their way back to the apartment, each with a bag of leftovers. "Man that was good; we should hang out again sometime" Frank said. "I agree. But are you sure you were fine with paying the bill?" Rebecca asked. "I was told that if a male and female share a meal, it's only polite for the male to pay the check" Frank said, blushing in embarrassment (laugh track) "Why the heck did you say that out loud you idiot! You really are the socially awkward one!" Frank's inner voice shouted *laugh track And in that moment, Frank realized he probably picked the wrong response... (man, I really stink with these things  ) |

"Yeah but I hear it's the female's job to take the male back to her place and show him a good time," said Rebecca.
"Um wait wha-"
*laugh track*
