Fan-Fic: Sometimes It's Better To Go

[Beauregard]

Animal Voice: RE-UNION! RE-UNION!!!

 

[The Count]

Truly a vonderful yarn Ryan. Just finished reading the whole thing, sorry I didn't come in earlier.

Points of interest...
1 Jerry's cameo was vonderful, especially all his voices.
2 When Gonzo got shooed away from the motorcycle stunt show, was that a Super Dave Osborne reference?
3 Uh Lisa, you might want to check your math. Lemme explain.

In algebra, you do the parenthetical work first.
x = 94, so 54x means 54 times 94, which equals 5076.
Then you have 87% of 234. 87 per cent, which means 87/100, so convert the fraction into a decimal as 0.87, and then multiply that times 234, which equals 203.58.
So the equation would read like this now: 97 plus 5076 minus 9 minus 234 plus 203.58.
You can do it in whatever order, either all straight through or the additions first and the subtractions second...
But 97 + 5076 is 5173, and + 203.58 equals 5376.58.
Take away 9 and you get 5367.58, and minus 234 that leaves you with 5133.58 as the final answer.

4 Noone got the reference to Kevin? Well then, let me say... Kevin L. Williams, better known as Fozzie Bear round these parts?
5 Chris... Now who do we know named Chris... Crazy Harry from the MC forums?
Looking forward to the reunion show with so many Muppets in the spectacular show stopping final musical number.

3 Uh Lisa, you might want to check your math.

<shrug> I just plugged it into the calculator. Probably could have gone through those steps by hand, but not in the middle of the night.

Ryan, I too, just read this whole story, and I love it. I am not going to go through it step by step, because there was simply too much of it to be listed.
What I really love about this story, is that it is not just about one or two Muppets. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that typing, but in this story, everyone had their moment of glory. It was everyone had their own plot line, or scene dedicated to them, and they just wove together beautifuly! Also, I agree with everyone that this story was so full of emotion! Parts of it were sad, parts of it were inspirational, and so much of it was incredibly hilarious! Great job!

Chapter 21: Feels Like That Feeling

"Mr. Ryan, Ms. Sam! Fifteen seconds to cuirtan guys!" Scooter said as he walked into the dressing room.

"Right! We're coming, in just a sec ok?" Ryan asked. "We're gonna be alone for a minute."

"Oh! Right sorry, um...bye!" Scooter ran out and shut the door.

Meanwhile, Kermit was at his desk. "Ok, everyone on stage for the theme!" Kermit said into the intercom.

"Kermit! Kermit!" Pops ran in. "We sold out! We sold out!"

"Kermin! Kermin!" Pepe ran in. "We have standing room only peoples! Hokay?"

"Really?!?" Kermit asked. Pops, and Pepe nodded vigirously. "That's great!"

Scooter ran down the stairs and up to Kermit. "Boss! Boss! It's time to start!"

Kermit jumped up and down. "Right! Great! Let's go!" Kermit behind the cuirtain and into the letter O in The Muppet Show sign. The curtain opened. The spotlight shown on Kermit. Everything was normal again. "It's the Muppet Show very special Reuinion Show!" Kermit screamed.

The curtain closed. Janice, Hilda, Mildred, Yolanda Rat, and Camilla paraded from the left of the side of the stage.

"It's time to play the music!
It's time to light the lights!
It's time to meet the Muppets
On The Muppet Show tonight!" They sang

They were followed from the left side by Clifford, Johnny Fiama, Sal, and Lew Zealand.

"It's time to put on makeup!
It's time to dress up right!
It's time to open cuirtain
On The Muppet Show tonight!" They continued.

The stage cuirtain opened. Fozzie stood there.

"Hiya, hiya, hiya!" Fozzie said. "It's great to be back! And boy do I have a joke for you! Do I? Oh no, where did I put it?"

The stage curtain closed on Fozzie. And Kermit danced out to the middle of the stage.

"To introduce our show,
That's what I'm here to do,
So it really makes me happy,
To introduce to you,
The very special, very memorable, Muppet Show Reunion Special! Yay!!!"

The curtain opened again, and all the Muppets were behind arches. And Kermit sat in the middle.

"But now let's get things started,
On the most sensational,
Inspirational,
Celebrational,
Muppetational,
This is what we call The Muppet Show!!!" As they sang, Beauregard lowered The Muppet Show sign and Gonzo was inside the O.

He blew a horn sending. Nothing happened. He blew it again harder. Nothing happened. He blew once more with all of his breath. Nothing happened, and Gonzo fainted. Then Ryan walked into the O and picked up the horn. He blew into it and it made a sound. "Gonzo?" He asked the weirdo. "Are you okay?"


Kermit returned to center stage. He was greeted with enormous applause. He had to get the crowd to stop clapping.

"Thank you!" Kermit laughed. "And welcome again to The Muppet Show! Tonight we have a great show for you. But, what would a Muppet Show be without an opening number?!?" Kermit slid offstage.

The curtains opened. Skeeter and Clifford sat on a bench hand in hand.

"Life is a funny thing," Skeeter sang.
"Sometimes you laugh and sing."

"Sometimes you grumble and cuss!" Clifford continued.

Pepe popped up behind them. "Hey knock it off! Hokay?"

Scooter came onto the stage. "But either way what do we care?" He sang

"We got us!" Everyone onstage sang.

"We have our ups and downs!" Sweetums jumped on stage.

"Our shares of smiles and frowns!" Robin sang from his arms.

Gonzo jumped from the rafters. "But through it all we don't fuss!"

Rowlf joined. "'Cause we got a special thing goin'!"

"We got us!"

Rizzo ran onstage. "Some people like to go, through their life single!"

"Oh that wouldn't suit us at all!" Fozzie sang.

Floyd and Janice came on hand in hand. "Why sing a melodie as a soliloquy?"

"When it's more fun to be," Dr. Teeth sang.

"Harmonizing!" Everyone sang the rest of the song.

"People may say we are,
Crazy the way we are,
That we won't even discuss!
'Cause what we got they can't smother,
We'd trade our lives for no other!
They've only got one another!
We got us!!!"

The two old men sat in the balcony. "Well Statler," Waldorf asked. "Are you glad they're back?"

"Well, I hate to say it but, no!" Statler yelled. "It's worse than ever!"

"Right!" Waldorf agreed. "Boo!"

"You stink!"


Kermit had never seen a better show. Even Gonzo got applause. And he was singing! Kermit couldn't stop smiling. And every time Miss Piggy walked by him, he'd kiss her on the cheek.

"Alright Rowlf, Fozzie, Gonzo, onstage for the closing number!" Kermit called.


Rowlf sat at a brown piano. Fozzie sat next to him.

"If I were a rich man,
With a million or two." Rowlf sang.

"I'd live in a penthouse.
In a room with a view." Fozzie continued.

Gonzo popped out of the piano. "And if I were handsome," he sang.

"No way!" Both Fozzie and Rowlf sang.

"It could happen!" Gonzo said.
"Those dreams do come true." He sang.

"I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have you." The trio sang together.
"Wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have,
Wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have,
Wouldn't have nothin'"

Kermit and Piggy came onstage hand in hand.

"Piggy, can I tell you somethin'?" Kermit asked.
"For years I have envied," He sang.

"You're green with it!" Piggy said.

"Your grace and your charm!" Kermit sang.
"Everyone loves you, you know,"

"Yes, I know, I know, I know."

Sweetums stomped on stage with Robin in his arm.

"But I must admit it," Robin sang.
"Big guy you always come through."

"I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you!" Everyone sang.

Johnny and Sal joined in. "You and me together," They both sang.
"That's how it always should be!"

"One without the other," Bunsen sang. With Beaker behind him.

"Don't mean nothin' to me!" Floyd joined.

"Nothin' to me!" The group sang.

"I wouldn't be nothin' no!" Skeeter sang.

"If I didn't have you to serve!" Scooter joined.

"I'm just a little king prawn!" Pepe sang.

"And a rat with no nerve!" Rizzo hopped in.

Sam and Clifford entered.

"Hey I never told you this," Sam sang.
"Sometimes I get a little bit blue."

"Looks good on ya." Clifford told him.

"But I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you!" Beauregard and Uncle Deadly continued.

Mildred Huckstedder, and George the Janitor danced onto the stage. "Let's dance!" Mildred said.

"Look Ma I'm dancin'!" George cried.

Everyone onstage grabbed a dancing partner.

Lew Zealand and Hilda waltzed in. "Would you let me lead?" Hilda told Lew.

Ryan and Sam fell in. "Hey would you look at that," Sam said. "Big guys are light on their feet!"

Animal and female Muppet danced in. "Don't you dare dip me! Don't you dare dip me! Don't you dare dip me!" She whined. Animal dipped her. "Ow! I should have stretched!"

"Yes I wouldn't be nothin' if I didn't have you!" Everyone continued.

Statler and Waldorf called out from their balcony. "I know what you freaks mean! Because," Waldorf called.

"I wouldn't know where to go!" Statler sang.

"Me too, because I,"

"Wouldn't know what to do!"

"Why do you keep singing my part?" Waldorf asked.

"I don't have to say it!" Kermit sang.

"Oh say it anyway!" Miss Piggy told him.

"'Cause we both know it's true," Kermit continued.

"We wouldn't have nothin' if we didn't have,
We wouldn't have nothin' if we didn't have,
We wouldn't have nothin' if we didn't have...you!
We wouldn't have nothin' if we didn't have you!" Everyone finished.

The crowd applauded.

Gonzo jumped to the middle of the stage. "One more time!" He yelled. The orchestra began to play again. "Hey it worked!"

Fozzie put his hand on Gonzo's shoulder. "I don't have to say it,"

Sweetums and Robin joined behind. "'Cause we all know it's true!"

"Let's take it home big guy!" Robin said.

"I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have
I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have
I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have...you!!!" All the Muppets finished.

Kermit pushed his way to the front of the stage. "Thank you! Thank you!" He screamed over the unbearably loud applause and cheers of the crowd. "We all hoped you enjoy our very special reunion! And we'll see you all next time on The Muppet Show!!!" Kermit yelled. He kissed Miss Piggy on the lips and the curtain closed.


I hope you all enjoyed my story. Of coming and going. I hope you learned, that no matter where you go, your friends will always be with you, in your heart.

*Ovation... Bravo! Bravisimo!
*From another section of the audience... Encore! Encore!
*And from the seat next to him... What?
Oh, again.
Oh, on-cory.

Yeah, on-cory.

A great ending Ryan. Loved the reference to We Got Us from the Dom DeLuise TMS episode, and the Fiddler on the Roof's main musical number.
Wait till Lisa gets back from services tonight... This'll give her a big ol' hug.
And it'd serve her good too, after giving everyone else hugs all night long.

Look forward to the next one.
