Ok, fine a short chapter for you...

******************************

Chapter 11: Fairy Tale Life

Piggy walked down the marble staircase in the castle. Her dream world was just what she wanted. "Ooh, look at all the shiny things!" She squealed. "I could throw so many lavish parties here!"

"You?" Rizzo asked. "Heh, that's hillarious Cinderella. I mean your step dads and siblings would never let you t'row a party."

"Yeah your job is to keep this place clean!" Boober told her.

"What?!?"

"Cinderella!" Someone yelled.

"Cinderella!" Another voice yelled.

"What?" Piggy yelled back.

"I don't see breakfast in front of me!"

"With your eye sight I wouldn't doubt it!"

"No way..." Piggy walked towards the voices. She opened a large pair of doors.

"It's about time! Did you bring home the bacon?" Statler asked from a bed.

"Do ho ho ho!" Waldorf laughed in a bed next to him.

"What are you two fossils jabbering about?" Piggy asked.

"We want our breakfast!" Statler told her.

"Come on Cinderella," Rizzo pulled at her dress. "I'll show you where da kitchen is."

"Oh boy breakfast!" Red cried.


They walked into the kitchen. "So Cinderelly, what's on de menu today?" Pepe asked.

"You expect me to cook?" Piggy asked.

"Well duh!" Rizzo said.

"Yeah, you're the chef, maid, buggy driver, grocery shoper, window cleaner," Wembley began listing.

"Ok! Ok! I get it!" Piggy groaned.

A door opened behind them. "Cinderella! We're home!" Dr. Teeth called. The entire Electric Mayhem stormed into the kitchen.

"Man our hunt was awesome!" Floyd said.

"Rully brother! It was tottally groovy!" Janice said.

"HUNTING! HUNTING!" Animal chanted.

"Hey!" Piggy yelled. "You're tracking mud all over the house!"

"Thanks for noticin'." Dr. Teeth said. "Now we won't have to find you to tell you to clean it up. Heh heh."

The band left the kitchen leaving Piggy with her mess.

Piggy was angry. "Grrrrr." She growled. "GAH!!! THEY EXPECT MOI TO CLEAN UP THEIR MESS?!?"

"Yes Piggy." Mokey patted her on the shoulder.

Piggy sighed.


Kermit sat in Piggy's head. He watched Piggy's dream like a mall security gaurd. He was waiting for the perfect moment. But, in between he had to make sure she didn't wake up.

If she woke up, Kermit's plan would fail.

For if she woke up, she would not be able to spend the rest of her life with Kermit.

For if she woke up, she would not be able to spend the rest of her life with Kermit.

Whoa. That line is chilling! But, there is some great stuff here! I still like how you have the different Muppets interacting with one another. It's nice to see the Fraggles so much too. Keep it up!

 

[Beauregard]

Oh good lord!!! Kermit do not lay a finger on that pig!!!!!

 

[TogetherAgain]

That last line.

I've read the whole chapter. But that last line...

I've read it. I've let it sink in. I've mulled it over. (And over and over and over.) I've re-read it. I've let it sink in some more.

I think I've finally reached a two-part conclusion.

1.) Death hath changed the frog.
2.) We need more story.

Chapter 12: Just a Dream Away

The next morning, Scooter left the house without breakfast. He was to worried about the show toinght. He walked down the sidewalk. The crisp autumn air was blowing through the trees. Scooter rubbed his hands together, then finally just stuck them in his jacket pockets.

Scooter looked to his left. There was a patch of charred grass, and the lone tree that stood in the middle was charred as well.

Scooter walked fasteer. He knew what had happened there.

He arived at the theater and came in backstage. He let the door slam shut behind him.

Scooter sat his things on the desk. "Gobo! Someone's here!" Wembley's voice yelled.

Scooter turned around, and saw the Fraggles peering down at him.

"Scooter come quick!" Gobo told him. "We can't wake up Miss Piggy!"

Scooter sighed. "Alright, just a second." Scooter climbed up the stairs and went into Piggy's room. He saw her collapsed body on the floor. "What happened? Why is she on the floor?"

"We don't know." Mokey said calmly.

"Yeah she was like that when we got here!" Red added.

"She's probably dead!" Boober wailed. "Not another!" He burried his head in Mokey's shoulder.

"Come off it Boober!" Gobo told him.

Scooter shook Piggy. She didn't wake up. He kept shaking her.


Piggy scrubbed vigourously on the floor. Her vibrant purple gloves were beginning to tear.

The doorbell rang.

"Cinderella! Get the door!" Statler yelled.

"You might wanna get a life while you're there!" Waldorf added.

"Do ho ho ho!"

Piggy sighed. She stood up and walked to the door. She opened it and Scooter stood there in medievil clothing. "Oh Scooter!" She cheered. "It is so good to see vous!"

Scooter pushed her away. "Sorry miss, I'm afraid I don't know you." He said. "But, I am the king's messenger!" He straightened up authoritativley. "And I'm here to deliver a message!"

"Well what is it?" Piggy asked.

Scooter threw off the hat he had on. "It's time for, the king's anual ball!" He did a quick dance step. "And you're invited! And, I'll deliver the message in song!

Do do do do do!
Oh, come on to our ball!
It's fun for one and all!
They'll be punch!
And apple crunch!
And a prince looking to take the fall!" He sang.

Piggy tilted her head slightly to the side.

"Of love that is." Scooter whispered.
"He's looking for the fairest maiden in the land!
Someone who is not afraid to grasp his froggy hand!
Which is why every maiden must attend!
Or,
Theywillbemetwithaveryuntimelyend!!!" Scooter finished.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! I will be sure to attend sir! Thank vous! Kissy kissy!" She slammed the door on him. "At last! I have found Kermit my love! And he is a prince! Oh! What will I wear?"

"Nothing!" Statler said appearing from nowhere.

"Vous expect moi to go naked?!?"

"Please," Waldorf begged. "Our eyesight is already bad! Don't make it worse!"

"Do ho ho ho!" They laughed.

"We meant that you're not going!" Statler told her.

"What? But why?" She asked.

"Because, you're the maid!" Waldorf said.

"But the note said that every maiden must attend or theywillbemetwithaveryuntimelyend!" Piggy gasped.

"Good." Statler said.

"Now, get back to work!" Waldorf yelled.

Piggy fell to her knees. "Oh mon capitan. How will I find vous now?"


Soon, Pepe had come to the theater as well. He found the others and offered his assistance.

"If de pig doesn't wake up from dis, she won't wake up from nothing. Hokay?" He said.

He pulled out his cell phone and held it to Piggy's ear. "Hokay Scooper, call me. Hokay?"

Scooter picked up the phone on Piggy's desk and dialed Pepe's cell phone number.

His phone rang to the tune of The Muppet Show theme. It stopped, and Piggy didn't even budge.

"Dios mio!" Pepe said. "How could jew not wake up after dat annoying ting?"

"Perhaps I could shed some light on the situation for you?" Uncle Deadly swooped in from the ceiling.

"What? Did you see what happened Uncle Deadly?" Scooter asked him.

"No, but I do know what happened." He said.

Wembley's body shook. Why had he never seen this guy before? Well, the fact was, he was to short to see him playing the organ at Kermit's funeral.

"You see, she's not waking up, because she does not want to." Uncle Deadly explained. "Her dream is preventing her from waking up."

"But how?" Traveling Matt asked. "Dreams can't keep you away from the reality world."

"I believe this song will assist your pathetic minds." Uncle Deadly said.

"Feel the water flowing.
Feel it coming, feel it going,
In the river, in the rain or in the sky." He sang.

"One day it's an ocean,
One day ice in motion.
One day it's a tear drop in your eye.

Once he wasn't here,
And then he suddenly appeared,
And now he seems to be at home in Earth and air.

Just like water flowing,
He knows where he's going.
Look beneath your boots and he'll be there.

It's just a dream away.
You have to leave to stay.
You'll meet again someday,
Just a dream away." The phantom finished.

"Who's he?" Gobo asked.

"Fools!" Uncle Deadly yelled. "You're all fools! It's Kermit! The Frog! He's a ghost! He lives in this theater! But as of now, he's inside Miss Piggy's head, controling her dreams! If he is allowed to continue, Miss Piggy's will never awaken!" He calmed down. "Which is why, I've called for some help."

 

[TogetherAgain]

<shakes head> It would seem that the frog has gotten a little carried away. But who's to blame him? He's desperate! He misses the pig!

But this... "help" that UD's called for? Who? Or what? Or...

And then of course, I must point out this line...

Scooter looked to his left. There was a patch of charred grass, and the lone tree that stood in the middle was charred as well.

Scooter walked fasteer. He knew what had happened there.

Gave me the shivers, prawncracker. Gave me the shivers.

Chapter 13: Deadly Assistance

Scooter had called the boarding house and told everyone to get to the theater immediatley.

Once they all crowded into the seats, Scooter quited them down. "Alright everybody listen up! We've got a crisis on our hands! Piggy's asleep and she won't wake up!"

"What's wrong with her?" Rowlf asked.

"She prob'ly just ate some bad guacamole." Rizzo said.

"Guacamole?" Cookie Monster sat up. "Can me dip cookies in it?"

"Hey ya'll quiet down! Let Scooter finish!" Clifford told them.

"Thanks, that's why Uncle Deadly's here," Scooter said. "He'll tell you all what's going on."

"Oh no! Not him again!" Telly cowered under his seat.

"Get up you fool!" Uncle Deadly yelled at him. "Now, the reason your pig will not awaken is because her dreams are being manipulated by a certain frog you all know. Or, knew rather." The Muppets whispered to each other. "Yes, that's right, Kermit's ghost is in Piggy's head controling her dreams."

"Man that's crazy!" Floyd said.

"No, he's crazy," Gonzo pointed to Crazy Harry. "And I'm insane! Ha ha!"

"Like are rully serious?" Janice asked.

"Indeed." Uncle Deadly told them. "Kermit's ghost has roamed this theater since the his deathday. That Mr. Beauregard," he glared at Beau. "Is why Piggy said she sang with Kermit in her dressing room. He broke a rule. One of the most important rules. Right below eating lasagna on the third Wednesday in March." He stroked his chin. "I might want to call a meeting about that one..."

"What are you talking about Uncle Deadly?" Fozzie asked.

"Kermit is not allowed to have contact with living creatures! In fact, no ghosts are."

The Muppets all gasped.

"What about you man?" Floyd asked. "You're dead, yet you're talkin' to us."

"My connections with the spirit world have given me certain perks. Although I still cannot eat lasagna in March." He sighed. "Nontheless, I have figured out a way into the pig's dream. We'll stop Kermit where he stands, and Piggy will awaken. It will not be easy, but then again, what is?" He smiled.

The Muppets were silent. It was rather scary, the Muppets were almost never silent.

"You expect us," Oscar broke the silence. "To go into the pig's head?"

"Cool!" Gonzo yelled. "Where's my scalple?"

"No you fool, we'll be using Dr. Honeydew's memory projector, and the assistance of my boss."

"My projector? How will that help us?" Bunsen asked.

"Ask questions later." Uncle Deadly told him. "My boss has arrived." He laughed.

Behind the seats, black flames arose from the ground. A tall figure emerged from the flames. He was adorned in a long black hooded cloak. In his right hand he grasped a long scythe. "DEADLY." The figure said with a voice that litterally brought chills to the Muppets bodies.

"Death." Uncle Deadly bowed slightly.

"Elmo doesn't like it here anymore Zoe."

"Oh no! Death has finally come for me!"

"Ohmygosh, ohmygosh, ohmygosh!!!"

"Super Grover will save us! Oops, wrong costume. Ha ha ha."

"Holy apple pie!"

"Cool scythe!"

"Bawk bagawwwwwk!!!"

"MEEP!"

"Has anyone seen my contacts?"

"Dios mio!"

"Hold me Prawnie!"

"Who's your tailor? I loooove that outfit!"

"This is not funny."

"QUIET MORTALS." Death's voice rang through the theater. All of the Muppets were silent. "LET'S BEGIN DEADLY I DON'T HAVE TIME TO WASTE."

"Fright away sir." He turned to Bunsen. "Honeydew, set up your machine." To Sweetums, "You there, hairy thing, go upstairs and get the pig! As for the rest of you, pick five of you to accompany Death and myself into the pig's dream. And make haste!"


"Cinderella?" Wembley asked Piggy who was sobbing on a wooden bench. "Are you ok?"

"No of course not!" Piggy yelled. "Everyone else in the world is at that ball, and I'm not! Now I'll never see Kermie!"

"I'm sorry who?" Pepe asked.

"Never mind. You wouldn't understand." Piggy sighed.

Wembley stared at the sky. "Hey, hey Gobo?"

"Yeah Wembely?" Gobo said.

"Have you ever seen a shooting star?"

"Yeah why?"

"Because I think there's one heading right for us!" Gobo looked in the air. A ball of light was hurling towards them.

"Run for your..." Rizzo started to yell, but the ball of light crashed right on top of the Fraggles, Rizzo, and Pepe sending them flying.

The light cleared slowly. When it was gone, Gonzo stood there in a bright blue outfit and sunglasses. "Wow!" He cried. "What a landing!"

"Gonzo?" Piggy asked.

"Well, you can call me Fairy Godwhatever." Gonzo walked towards her. "After all, I am your Fairy Godwhatever. Now, what's the problem?" He sat down next to her.

"What's a Fairy Godwhatever?" Piggy asked.

"Oh, that's your problem? Well, that's about the only thing I can't answer! Ha ha!" Gonzo laughed. "Here I thought you had some huge problem or something that my magical powers could cure but..."

"Magical powers! Oh! Well then, I would like a new dress, some shoes, a carriage, a driver, a new purse to match the shoes, a chocolate eclair, and last but not least, I would like to attend the Prince's Royal Ball." She said.

"Wow." Gonzo scratched his head. "Well, I'm all out of eclairs and purses, but the rest I can do!" He stood up and cleared his throat. "Ahem, floggerly doggerly spew!" He pointed his hands at Piggy.

She was encompased in sparkles. Her raggedy clothes were replaced with a beautiful blue dress, and she wore glistening glass slippers.

"Oh! Thank vous Fairy Godwhatever!" Piggy hugged Gonzo. "Um, but does the dress come in something other than blue? It's not really moi's color. But the shoes are great!"

"Sorry, it's a union thing, only blue dresses. Now, we'll need some inanimate object for your carriage, and some furry creatures for your driver and horses." Gonzo said.

"Oh! I have furry things!" She said. "Right over there on the ground. And um..." She scanned the area. She saw a lone zuchinni. "This!" She picked it up and handed it to Gonzo.

"A zuchinni?" Gonzo said. "Cool! Ok, stand back as I work my magic again!" Gonzo threw the zuchinni over by the Fraggles, Rizzo, and Pepe. "Floggerly doggerly spew!" Sparkles of light flooded the area. They turned the zuchinni into a beatiful green stretch limosine. It turned Rizzo into a human driver. Pepe was turned into a man who opened the doors for Piggy. While the Fraggles turned into huge, vibrantly colored horses.

"Oh! Oh my gosh!" Piggy said. "Thank you Fairy Godwhatever! Bye!" She started to run over to the limo.

"Hold it!" Gonzo yelled. "I forgot to tell you the most important part of our little deal. You must be back home by 11:49 PM." Gonzo told her.

"Are you sure it's not midnight?" Piggy asked.

"No, it's quarter to eight. Ha ha!" Gonzo laughed. Piggy stared. "Last time I let the bear write jokes." Gonzo muttered. "But seriously, I don't write the rules, I just preach them. So, go Cinderella! And have fun!" Gonzo waved. The limo drove away being pulled by the horses.

"Cute, she's a cute pig." Gonzo said. He walked over to the hole he made on his landing. "Hmm, I wonder how I get this thing to go in reverse?"

 

[TogetherAgain]

I applaud. I most definately applaud! Fairy Godwhatever! Oh that's priceless. 11:49 PM, how perfect! And a zucchini! Sorry, it's a union thing, only blue dresses. Oh dear goodness, you know if Muppets ever did Cinderella, I bet it would come out an awful lot like Miss Piggy's dream!!

And I LOVE everyone's reactions to Death and what he has to say. Who's your tailor? Perfect! And Telly's reaction to UD, "Oh no! Not him again!" Seems they've met before, I guess, maybe... in someone's dorm room? Nah, what a crazy idea... And again, no lasagna on the third wednesday in March! I love that joke.

So yes, I applaud, and of course I WANT MORE!
