Finding you (Fraggle Rock atempt)

Chapter 1:
Sprocket lay on his bed as usual, head slightly propped up by his front paws and a dreamy sigh escaping him every so often. No noise disturbed his slumber save for the occasional snore or trail of wind blowing through the old cracked window. His peaceful rest was short lived, however, as his master slammed the door open with a disgruntled snort. Sprocket jumped up, slightly rumpled, but over all pleased to see his master home again. Yet once more his joy was down trodden when he saw the saddened look in his owner's eyes. Whining, he gently nuzzled the arm belonging to the elderly man.
“I tell you, Sprocket.” the man, Doc, finally spoke. “ Work just doesn't feel like it used to. The editor of the newspaper told me I needed fresh ideas, something new and inviting. Now how can a person ask that of a man who is older than the newspaper itself?” Doc looked down at his loyal companion, eyes sad and wizened in his age.
Sprocket whined again, wishing he could tell his owner could understand how much he really cared, even if he was only a dog. Sighing, the old man deftly plucked his glasses from their resting place on his face and pinched the bridge of his nose in concentration. He gently removed the sympathetic dog's paws from his lap and walked heavily up the stairs, footsteps become faint with each step. Plopping himself down on his own bed, Sprocket closed his eyes in pain, his heart just as heavy as his owner's.
Just to the left of the resting dog was a hole which led to another world it would seem; where another being was also confused and sick with worry. The little creature paced back and forth across his room, his purple hair bobbing up and down in a humorous way. His room mate was quite the opposite of his companion and rested calmly on his own bed while his eyes followed the purple and orange Fraggle. He munched on a radish while his friend mumbled unintelligibly
“He hasn't written to me in three weeks, Wembly!” The Fraggle spoke urgently while running his hands through his hair nervously. “I just know something has happened to my uncle.” Wembly simply shrugged at his friend's concerned assumption and continued to snack on the radish in his hand.
“I think you worry too much, Gobo.” Wembly answered, almost incoherent due to his stuffed mouth. Wembly jumped off his bed and skipped lightly to his friend's side.
“Your uncle is a good Fraggle, he can take care of himself.” Gobo nodded absent minded at his friend's reason not to fret.
“Either way, I'm going out to find him. I think it's time to bring him home.” With this statement Gobo walked determinedly out the yawning mouth to there small cave-like home.
“That's right, Gobo!” Wembly nodded slowly, thinking he had been able to ease his friend's mind. “You just go out and find your uncle and-WHAT?!” Wembly screeched before rushing after the distant Gobo.
“Gobo, think rationally about this,will ya'?” He called after the orange Fraggle, but to no avail.
“I'm leaving, Wembly. And that's that, feel free to come along if ya' want to.” Gobo said over his shoulder to the panicking Fraggle.
“Wa-wait for me!” Wembly yelled, running even faster than before.

As the two travelers continued through the caverns they called home, they were shortly stopped by a voice calling after them.
“Hey, Gobo! Wanna race me today?” A Fraggle that was red and yellow and slightly smaller than Gobo ran to meet her two friends.
“Oh, not today, Red. I don't think I'll be competing against you for a while. I'm gonna be busy.” Gobo answered impatiently to Red's question.
“Where are ya' goin'? Red asked, undeterred by Gobo's tone of voice. “Can I come along?” She asked eyes lit with child-like excitement.
“It's not a place for girl's in Outer Space, Red. Why don't you go on home?” Gobo reasoned, his arms folded as if he was scolding a child.
“Because I think going to Outer Space would be much better than staying home.” Red chirped bubbly, she poked Gobo in the stomach teasingly.
“Wh-who said we was going to Outer Space.” Wembly stuttered nervous of the tension and teasing mixing together. He knew if Red and Gobo were to have an argument it wouldn't end well.
“Gobo just said that's where we were going.” Red pointed out, eager to annoy her orange skinned friend.
“I said nothing about it, an you're not comin' with us!” Gobo defended himself, feeling he was obviously in the right.
“Oh, yes you did!” Red argued lightly in a sing-song voice, enjoying the frazzled look Gobo shot her.
“Did not!”
“Did too!”
“Did not!”
“Did too!”
“DID NOT!”
“DIIIIID TOOO!”
“Well who did not do something that they did?” A softer voice interrupted. The trio was suddenly over shadowed by a tall purple, dreamy looking Fraggle.
“Hi, Mokey! It's Gobo and Wembly. They're going to Outer Space and aren't taking me with them!” Red pouted, her bottom lip sticking out comically. Mokey dropped the load of radishes she had been carrying and clasped her hands in delight.
“Oh how lovely!” She sighed, eyelashes fluttering. “I've always wanted to go on an adventure, won't this be exciting?!”
“Not you too.” Gobo groaned while buried his head in one of his hands in defeat.
“Well that settles it.” Red said triumphantly, her smug smile being directed towards Gobo. Before she could gloat anymore, however, the groups bickering was once again diverted by another Fraggle.
“Well what are all of you doing?” Gobo asked, his hands filled with another basket of laundry from that morning. “Shouldn't you all be doing your chores?” The teal colored Fraggle asked irritably, his shaggy orange hair covering his eyes as usual.
“We're too busy for chores, now if the three of you would excuse us, Wembly and I have to go find Uncle Max.” Gobo turned and once more tried to get away from his friends when Red reached out and grabbed his shoulder, none too gently mind you.
“Oh, just hold it, you.” She pointed an accusing finger at his chest, all teasing gone.
“You just think you can leave all of us behind? We've always been there for each other, and this is a time that we still need to be there for our friends.” Red narrowed her eyes at Gobo, who shrunk back slightly although his steel gaze remained the same. “Whether you like it or not, we're comin'.” With that, the fiery Fraggle headed in the same direction that Gobo had previously been heading. Sighing, Gobo gave in and he too continued on. With a slight skip, Mokey pulled a disagreeing Boober in tow behind her.
“Wait, who said I agreed to this?!” Wembly called weakly. “How can I choose between going with you guys, or staying home?” His voice had reached a higher pitch by this point. Red turned around to face him, though her pace remained the same.
“Wembly, who ever said we were giving you a choice?” With that she turned back around and walked with the rest of the group.
“Oh, well in that case...” Wembly shrugged and ran to meet up with the rest of his friends.

Chapter 2:

The cave opening yawned in front of the group as if it were an actual mouth waiting to be fed. The thought of their expedition weighed heavily on their shoulders as they slowly crept forward to see more clearly through the hole. Taking a deep breath Gobo peeked his head cautiously through the opening to see if the human or beast were around. Sighing in relief he smiled and nodded towards his friends. Finding danger far away, his friends also stepped through, although it didn't help subside the chattering of Wembly's teeth. The lime green Fraggle seemed to pale once he saw the mysterious beginnings of Outer Space, his eyes widened at seeing the strange instruments on the walls and surrounding area. His mind screamed warnings of dangers and to head back to his cave where it was safe, he would have been happy to oblige had it not been for Red's iron grip on his shoulder.
“S-see?” He chuckled nervously, “there's nothing to see, now I say we go back...Guys?” he squeaked uncertainly. His friends stopped and turned to look at their nervous friend, Gobo only shook his head in determination.
“Not until I find Uncle Matt!” He huffed, arms crossed soundly. Red shrugged before speaking also, her pigtails bobbing up in down comically.
“Well we better start searching, talking and squabbling never solved anything!” She chirped giddily, starting towards what appeared to be some sort of opening to somewhere out of the room.
“Red, wait!” Gobo hissed suddenly, grabbing Red's red sweater sleeve suddenly before dashing behind a large metal and cloth covered statue, the rest of the group followed as they heard scuffling and laughter. The entrance to the room opened as the older human they knew to be “Doc”, and his loyal beast protector, “Sprocket”, entered in.
“Ah, I do love a good day in the park, Sprocket.” The man rumbled happily, a newspaper in one hand.
“What's a park?” Red whispered into Gobo's ear, causing him to jump slightly.
“Shh!” He whispered, turning his attention back to the scene in front of him.
“And what a day to do so, such a fine day in deed! Why with all the leaves changing their colors in mother nature's finest color show!” Doc removed his coat and placed it on the rack behind him. “I'll give that ol' newspaper a column worth reading! How's that for fresh, eh?” With that he bounced up the stairs with his loyal companion soon behind. The commotion caused a spray of dust to fall from somewhere above the unsuspecting Fraggles and caused Boober to inhale sharply at the sudden gust of dirt.
“C'mon, Boober!” Mokey whispered urgently, eyes wide in worry. “Hold it in, ya can't sneeze right now.”
“I-I might as well n-n-not breathe!” He answered sarcastically. “I-I aaaachoooo!!” The sound erupted from his mouth before he could even try to hold back the air that had escaped. The minute the sound escaped, four different pairs of hands smacked his mouth shut in fear. Sprocket paused as he heard the strange noise, he backed down the steps and started to trot slowly towards a vacuum in a corner of the office where five Fraggles waited anxiously.
“Sprocket? Where are ya? I've got your dinner waiting for you!” The dog easily forgot his previous engagement before rushing up the stairs excitedly. Once the danger had passed, the friends released the nearly faint blue Fraggle.
“I thought I'd never be able to breathe!” He gasped angrily, glaring at his friends. Mokey gently helped her friend to his feet as Gobo looked towards the opening in a sense of wonder and excitement.
“That's where Uncle Matt is.” He said to his friends, they all stared back at him with a slight mix of uncertainty and the same wonder. Gobo rushed up to the opening and started to look for a way to open it.
“How are we supposed to get out?!” He grumbled to himself.
“Hey look guys!” Wembly suddenly called next to Gobo. “It comes in Fraggle size!” He pointed to a smaller opening near the bottom of the door where a square sized door opened. Indeed it seemed to be meant for Fraggles only as Gobo could easily slip through, although it was covered in a stiff, yet bendable material. Once through, he gazed with his mouth open as the realms of deep spaced opened up before the young Fraggle. His friends came up behind him and Red gasped slightly while Mokey clasped her hands and sighed dreamily. Wembly gaped and looked in amazement as he held a fainted Boober in his arms.
Deep Space looked similar to Fraggle Rock, yet the cave ceiling seemed to be completely painted with oranges, yellows, pinks, and reds. In the distance, Gobo could see the faint tints of blue and purple, he also noticed the caves that surrounded everything. Huge caves of all different sizes and shapes loomed before him, all of which were also many colors Mokey never knew existed. The moment was soon disrupted as a huge beast roared and growled, spewing dirt and hard rock as it sped by on black, round paws. So startled was the group that they started to run in the opposite direction of the monster. Wembly shouted as Red screamed and ran faster than the rest of the group. Boober merely jumped into Mokey's arms and held on for dear life as the female Fraggle ran speedily after the others. Gobo raced neck and neck with Red, his face a mask of pure fear. What if those beasts had somehow nabbed his uncle? Was he held captive? Or-or worse? Gobo dared not think of what horrible torture the rumbling, horrendous beings could create. As he let his mind clear, Gobo was suddenly aware of two things, firstly, the beast was no where to be seen. Secondly, he had no idea where they were. He slowed down to a stop, which he soon realized was a big mistake as his friends crashed into him from behind. Grumbling he found himself on his back with someone on top of him. Wincing he found himself to be touching noses with none other than Red. As Red came to her senses, her eyes focused on Gobo and her face immediately matched the color of her sweater. Jumping up she marched over to help Mokey and Wembly get their footing. What made her get so embarrassed? Gobo wondered silently, it was obvious she had just accidentally fallen on top of him. For a moment Gobo worried it might have been that he had radish breath and that caused her to suddenly become flustered. How could radish breath cause someone to get flustered?! If anyone should be mortified, it should be the person with the radish breath, he thought logically to himself. Yet, Gobo couldn't help but feel his supposedly bad breath was the cause of Red's blushing. Merely brushing it aside, he stood up to see their surroundings. Wherever they were, it was lush and green and there were large trees surrounding them. Having discovered this as well, Red latched onto the nearest one and began to easily scale the gigantic plant. Reaching a branch that was easily higher than ten Fraggles combined, she looked downward and yelled down to her friends.
“Well? We could probably see everything better from up here!” With that said she began to climb once more.
“Nothing scares her, does it?” Wembly mumbled in amazement. Gobo had to agree, although her stubbornness and ego would often get her into trouble, he had always admired her for being brave. Albeit stupid, but brave. Without further consent, Mokey too grappled with the bark until she found a steady hold and climbed after her companion. Wembly soon followed with an uncertain look at his friends, Gobo was about to also follow when he saw Boober made no in intention of following.
“Um, Boober? Are ya comin'?” He asked, one hand resting on the side of the tree. The ginger headed Fraggle shook his head stubbornly.
“I'll stay down here until you've all finished with your fun, then we're all heading back home where we belong. He sat down with a 'humph' and crossed his arms in silence. Gobo answered with a shake of his and a sigh.
“Looks like you'll be going home alone, because I'm not leaving my uncle out here alone!” Gobo started to climb up, his anger surfacing slightly at his friend's rudeness. He'd admit he hadn't meant for any of his friends to get dragged into this mess, but they had all been warned.
“Maybe I will go home by myself!” Boober snorted in defense. He started to stand up. “I mean, home's only that...way?” Truth be told, he was lost. Sighing, he looked back up to where his friends were almost all the way to the top. Grabbing onto a branch, Boober began to heave himself up to the tree tops.
Red had been correct about being able to see more of Deep Space from up here, Gobo just hadn't realized how big it was. The caves seemed to go on for ever, and they might of well did for all he knew! He watched sadly as the pink roof changed to purple then to blue and then black. The most amazing part, however, was when thousands of white specks began to light up the darkness.
“Ooh! The stars are coming out!” Mokey whispered happily, her eyes almost as bright as the lights.
“Stars?” Red asked, her head cocked to the side.
“Yeah, when I get Radishes for the Fraggles, I hear the Gorgs talk about the sky and the stars. Apparently they're all other places and worlds that not even the humans have seen! It's like a giant lake full of dreams and wishes. Sometimes the humans wish on the stars for things they desire.” Mokey said this as she prepared a nest out of the leaves surrounding her. Wembly had merely fallen asleep while the excitement had taken place. Gobo noticed Red also starting to nod off as well, her eyes drooping and then suddenly snapping over before dozing off again.
“C'mon, let's all get to bed. So they wish for anything? Does it ever come true?” He asked curiously.
“I don't really know, but they do it a lot because they hope for things to get better.” Mokey whispered, keeping in mind her sleeping companions.
“Hmm.” Gobo answered. He watched the 'stars' for a moment as his friends slept on. Finding a particularly bright star, he spoke to it, not quite sure what drove him to do so.
“I've never done this before,” he started softly, hoping no one would wake up at that moment. “Talking to stars, well we don't have stars back at the Rock, but I was wondering if maybe you could watch out for my uncle? He's a Fraggle like me with a white mustache and beard, he travels a lot and gets into mischief most of the time. I'm trying to find him, all I ask is that if it's alright with you, if you could help me find him.” Gobo started to lay down in his own makeshift bed before sitting up again. “Oh! And thank you!” he called softly. The star seemed to wink at him, so he took that as a good sign before settling down again. Soon his own breathing became soft snores, and although he couldn't see her, Red smiled.
