Mexican Musical Mayhem

[minor muppetz]

A few weeks ago I wrote a fan fic called Happy Birthday Sweetums! At one point I had it said that the Electric Mayhem would get a gig in mexico in a few weeks. Well, it's been a few weeks since I wrote the fan fic, so here's a story....


Chapter 1

The Electric Mayhem was getting ready for their big mexican gig.

"The bus is loaded", said Dr. Teeth, "Let's get rockin'!"

"ROCKIN!", shouted Animal.

"I am so glad that we've got out mexican gig", said Floyd.

"Yeah, even if they wouldn't spring for plane transportation", said Janice.

"You can say that again", said Zoot.

Lips then ran up tot hem.

"hey, can I go on this trip?", asked Lips.

"Hmm, I don't know", said Dr. Teeth.

"Let's have a group meeting", said Floyd.

They all got in a circle, then noticed that Lips was with them.

"hey, Lips, like, you're not supposed to be in this group, fer sure",s aid Janice.

"Oh, sorry", said Lips.

Lips got out of the circle.

"Do we want Lips to be with us at this concert or not?", asked Floyd.

"We're not gettign paid enough as it is", said Dr. Teeth, "We'll all have to get pay cuts".

"And I don't want him to upstage me again", said Janice.

As they were deciding, Lips shouted, "I'll pay for the gas!"

They all looked at him.

"Well, welcome aboard!", said Floyd.

"WEL-COME!", said Animal.

"What's going on?", asked Zoot.

"Let's all get in the bus and get going!", said Dr. Teeth.

The Muppets were giving their goodbyes to the Electric Mayhem.

"Bye bye, yo!", said Clifford.

"Come back soon", said Rowlf.

"See you later", said Scooter.

And if this was a movie or special then there'd be a big musical number here as they got on the bus and left.

chapter 2

They'd been driving for a little bit when...

"Okay, let's get out the map", said Dr. Teeth.

"The map?", said Zoot.

"Yes, the map, Zoot, why?", asked Dr. Teeth.

"Animal ate it", said Zoot.

"Again!", said Janice.

"Okay, let's stop by a store and get a map to mexico", said Dr. Teeth.

"Yerrrrrrrr", growled Animal.

"No, you're staying in the bus", said Floyd, "Lips, you make sure Animal stays".

The other members got out of the bus. Then some fans approached him.

"Hey, it's Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem!", said one fan.

"Can we have you're autographs?", asked another fan.

"Can you all pose for a picture?", asked another fan.

"Janice, will you take off your clothes?", asked one perverted fan, "It's for an art project".

"Where's Animal?", asked another fan.

"Sorry, but we don't have time for any of this", said Floyd, "We're on our way to mexico for a concert".

"Will you at least let us join you?", asked another fan, "and provide free tickets?"

"Sorry, we can't", said Dr. Teeth.

"And the concert is sold out", said Janice.

They all went into the store to buy a map.

So they walked into the story.

"I'm going to get us some food for later", said Janice.

"Okay, baby", said Floyd.

So Janice got the food while Dr. Teeth got a map.

They went to the counter and got the items scanned.

"Okay, that'll be...", said the cashier, who then looked up and saw that it was the band.

"Hey, you're the Electric Mayhem", said th cashier.

"Yes, we are", said Zoot.

"You all are celebrities", said the cashier, "You don't have to pay for this".

"Oh, thanks", said Floyd.

They left, and the cahsier's boss then approached him.

"Johnson!", shouted the boss, "Did you give away free items to celebrities again?"

"Y-yes sir", Mr. Trump", said Johnson.

"That does it", said Mr, Trump, "You're fired!"

The Electric Mayhem went out to the parking lot, and saw that their bus had been knocked over sideways.

"What happened to our bus?", asked Dr. Teeth.

"Oh, the fans were angry that you wouldn't sign autographs, pose for pictures, or answer their questions, so they knocked the bus over", said Lips.

"Bummer!", said Janice.

"But Animal bit them all", said Lips.

"Yummy!", siad Animal.

"Hmm, well, now we're going to have to get the bux fixed", said Dr. Teeth, "And we don't have much time to get to mexico".

chapter 3

The band had called a tow truck and took it to the nearest auto shop.

"Well, I estimate that it'll take us three days to fix the bus", said a mechanic.

"Three days?", said a shocked Dr. Teeth.

"But we have aconcert in two days!", said Floyd.

"And we can't afford another form of transportation",s aid Janice, "Not with the cost of bus repairs".

"I thought you were all celebrities", said the mechanic.

"Yes, but we don't get enough residuals", said Dr. Teeth.

"STRIKE!", yeled Animal.
"No, Animal", said Floyd, "No strike!"

"No! strike! NO STRIKE!", yeled Animal.

Dr. Teeth then turned to us (the readers) and said, "How would you want us to have a happy ending?"

"Text message 1-ELECTRIC-MAYHEM-a if you want the mechanic to come up with a way to get us there but have him turn out to be a scam artist", said Janice.

"Text message 1-ELECTRIC-MAYHEM-b if you want us to get a quick fix after all, and then be hunted down by the owner of the store where the cashier gave us free stuff, since we didn't pay, and he wants our money", said Floyd.

"Text message 1-ELECTRIC-MAYHEM-c if you want us to just call our agent and have him take care of us",s aid Dr. Teeth.

"Or text message 1-ELECTRIC-MAYHEM-d if you...", said Zoot.

"No, Zoot!", interrupted Dr. Teeth, "I started thinking, we probably shouldn't let them pick how it ends".

"That's rully right", said Janice, "Then they'll know".

"Oh, sorry", said Zoot.

"I guess we should just have them text message 1-ELECTRIC-MAYHEM-d, since they don't know", said Lips.

"Fer sure!", said Janice.

"Yeah!", shouted Animal.

"Well, texting is over", said Floyd, "Thanks for your cooperation".

chapter 4

The band was sitting in the lobby of the auto shop.

"Man, what'll we do?", asked Dr. Teeth.

"Maybe we can perform a concert out front, and make money from our fans", said Floyd.

"Like, that sounds like a great idea", said Jnaice.

"Then let's do it", said Zoot.

They went out front, and performed a concert. If this was amovie ro special we'd hear one song. But they were so preoccupied with their performing that they didn't notice that they only had one person watching.

The one person was Johnson, the cashier at the store that the band went to.

"Thatw as wonderful", said Johsnon.

"Oh, thank you", said Floyd.

"Hey, you look familiar", said Janice.

"My name is Gil Johnson", said Gil, "I was the clerk who just gave you all free stuff".

"Oh, him", said Zoot.

"Yeah, and just got fired for giving you all free stuff", said Gil, "My boss hates celebrities, and hates that I always give free things to celebrities".

"Bummer", said Janice.

"Well, our bus just got destroyed, and we need to get to a cocnert", said Floyd.

"Well, I can take you all there", said Gil.

"I don't know", said Dr. Teeth, "It's in mexico, and in two days".

"I've got an SUV", said Gil, "It can fit all of us. And sicne I have no job I don't have to ask for time off".

"Oh, wow", said Janice.

"SUV", yelled Animal.

"Let's get our instruments and get going", said Dr. Teeth.

"And now we can move on with the plot", said Janice.

chapter 5

The gang was in the SUV, headed for mexico.

"How long to you think it'll take us to get to mexico?", asked Floyd.

"Not very long", said Gil Johnson.

"Wow, this must be a very fast car, fer sure", said Janice.

"Fast car...", chanted Animal.

"You know", siad Gil, "We could use some music right now".

"No problem", said Floyd, "Everybody, hit it!"

"Yeahhhhh", yelled Animal.

And if this was a movie or special then there'd be another musical number here.

After after the performance, the car got to a building.

"Well, we have to make a stop", said Gil Johnson, who drove the car down into an underground tunnel under the building.

They went into a darkened area.

"Dark", said Animal.

"Man, I can't see a thing", said Zoot.

"Why don't you take off your sunglasses for once?", asked Dr. Teeth.

"What sunglasses?", asked Zoot.

Then, they heard some doors shutting, and suddenly, a light went on.

Mr. Trump was seen outside the car, holding a gun.

"Alright, everybody", said Mr. Trump, "Get out of the car".

"What?", said everybody, except Gil.

"Good job, Gil", said Mr. Trump, "I'm glad I rehired you".

"W-what's all this about, man?", asked Floyd.

"Let me explain", said Gil, leading to a flashback sequence.

In the flashback, Gil was walkign away after being fired, but then Mr. Trump ran after him.

'Wait!", said Mr. Trump, "I'll let you keep your job..."

"Really?", said Gil.

"Yes, really", said Mr. Trump, "if..."

"Oh? If what?", said Gil.

"Don't interrupt me", said Mr. Trump, "But I want their money, and I know that the band is headed to a concert in mexico. So I want you to capture them for me and take them to my secret udnerground tunnel".

"I don't know...", said Gil.

"I'll tripple your salary", said Mr. Trump.

Gil thought for a moment, and then said, "Deal".

Back to the present...

"I didn't want to trick you all, but I did", said Gil.

"He's such a good boy, isn't he?", asked Mr. Trump.

"If that were true, he wouldn't have betrayed us like this", said Floyd.

"And this is all over money?", asked Dr. Teeth.

"Let's jsust give him the money we owe him", said Janice.

"It's too late now", said Mr. Trump, "You all will never perform again".

chapter 6

The band was trapped. Mr. Trump pointed his gun at them.
"Okay, it's time for saying godbye",s aid Mr. Trump.

"Hey, that's a song", said Floyd.

And then the band performed a big goodbye song. After the song...

"I wonder why I didn't shot you all during that number", said Mr. Trump.

"You know whagt, boss?", asked Gil Johnson, "I don't need your job anymore".

Gil promptly hit him on the head with a frying pan, knocking him out.

"We're saved!", shouted Animal.

"Yeah, good job", said Lips.

"I just couldn't let him kill you all", said Gil, "So I just had to save you".

"and right on time too", said Dr. Teeth.

"Right on time! RIGHT ON TIME!", yelled Animal.

"Let's get to mexico, fer sure!", said Janice.

And so they got to mexico for the concert, and right on time, too.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for The Electric Mayhem", said an announcer.

And Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem performed another big number.

"We're the Electric Mayhem!", said Dr. Teeth, "I'm Dr. Teeth on the keyboards!"

"Like, I'm Janice on the guitar, fer sure, rully..."

"I'm Floyd Peper, the hippiest of the hip!"

"I'm Zoot on sax!"

"I'm Lips, the rarely-seen trumpet player"

"And I'm ANIMAL! RRRRGGGHHHHH!"

"And we'd like to thank Gil Johnson for helping us get here", said Dr. Teeth.

And the band played one more number.

The End
