Muppet Scale

This is based on the whole story of Ne-Yo's album Libra Scale. I feel that adding Muppets to such a captivating story will make the story even better! For those who do not know who Ne-Yo is, find out who he is and watch the trailer for 'Libra Scale'. It can be found online.

Now, we have our roles:

Kermit, Fozzie and Gonzo as The Gentlemen

Sam The Eagle as Numinous, the man who grants The Gentlemen their powers
(his name will still be Sam)

Miss Piggy as Pretti Sinclair, a women doomed to fall for one of The Gentlemen
(but her name will be Piggy Sinclair for the sake of the fic)

Chapter 1: The Gift Of Powers

Kermit, Fozzie and Gonzo just looked at the strange man, well, eagle who had emerged from the white limousine parked only a few feet away. He had started off going on about how each one of them was an upstanding citizen, yatta yatta and then got into an explanation of how he could give them great power. They had decided to accept his offer, honestly, what harm could it do? They were only 3 garbage men, and honestly, anything was better than being a garbage man.

“Since you have accepted, there are 3 rules you must follow: Number one, you are to at all times and at all costs protect this city. This also applies to the great nation of America itself. Number two, you are not to tell anyone why or how you received these powers. And finally, number three...This is the most important rule of all...” Sam paused for a second, just to make sure they were listening. “Under no circumstances are you to fall in love.”

“So, what you're saying is that all we have to do is follow these rules and we'll be the men?” Kermit was the first to speak.

“Precisely.” Sam nodded, “However, I must warn you that the abilities given to you are for the sole purpose of protecting the world, all while having the power to destroy it!”

“The power to destroy the world? Cool!” Gonzo couldn't stop himself.

“Gonzo! We're supposed to defend the world. Not destroy it.” Fozzie explained.

“I know that, its just so...cool!”

Sam sighed, knowing that even though they were weirdos, they were the right choices. “Now, if you'll come with me.” He opened the door to the limousine and the newly appointed gentlemen piled in after him.

xPPP Men is love, Sam.

I love it, li'l sister. <3 Like I said, can't wait fer more. 8D

Lol yay for Sam ^^

Thanks I'll have more up ASAP

*claps like a seal absentmindedly* Yay for Ewie. *gives a Kermit-shaped cookie* :3

Yay Thank you ^^

Chapter 2: She's real pretty, she's fiercer than a bear, and her name is Piggy Sinclair.

Piggy Sinclair sat down at her desk to be greeted by a stack of five newspapers. She had been away for a few months working on a story that had sent her to Hollywood and had blown a fake diamond scheme right out of the water, her agent Bernie suggested she go back home and host the evening news like before, which would hopefully attract more viewers. In all truth however, as much as Piggy loved the lime light, she was happy to get back to her job at the Hensonville News Network.

“Who Are The Gentlemen?” She read the headline and scanned the front page article, she then moved to the next paper, “The Gentlemen Take Down Crime Boss Lefty T. Salesman, now that's impressive!”

She started to flip through the next two papers, she was noticing a trend here. In the time she was gone, these 'Gentlemen' characters had done quite a lot. Sure, they'd been doing wonderfully in keeping the city safe, but, there had to be so much more to them...These articles weren't bad, but, Piggy was the best of the best. There was a great story waiting to be written and it had Piggy's name all over it! She just needed to get an interview with at least one of them...

“The City Loves A Gentleman and ah, the last paper!” She threw the other papers onto her office floor and picked up the last paper, “Gentlemen: Best Dressed Crime Fighters.”

“Oh aren't they Piggy!” Annie Sue chimed as she walked into Piggy's office, “Welcome back!”

“Annabelle, did you put these here?” Piggy held up a newspaper.

“No Piggy, I didn't, I believe Susan did.”

“Susie dear, my office, now!” Piggy buzzed her assistant.

Susie ran into the room. “Yes ma'am?”

“Did you put these papers here?”

“Um...y-yes I did...I'm so sorry, I should have just held onto them and waited I...”

“Susie! I'm not upset with you! I'd like to thank you!”

“T-thank me?”

“Of course, Moi must catch up with you girls...And meet these gentlemen as well.” Piggy smiled.
___________________________________________________________

Right after work, the ladies took a little shopping trip and then headed to Piggy's place.

“Ladies, it is Friday and we did just buy some lovely clothes...We wouldn't want them going to waste.” Piggy suggested as she went to turn off the television.

“Piggy we should have girls night out! There's a nightclub downtown that opened last month, you'd really like it!” Annie Sue was excited.

“I don't know girls...I mean, I just turned 21, I'm barely legal, I...” Susie started rambling.

“Too bad sister! You're coming with us!” Piggy pulled her up off of the couch.

“Oh Annabelle, that color looks wonderful with you skin tone!” Piggy complimented Annie Sue.

“Thank you Piggy! You look stunning!” It was true, no one could hold a candle to the way Piggy looked in her sparkling dress.

“Susie, we're leaving soon, are you ready?” Piggy knocked on the bathroom door.

“I'm not coming out!” Susie's voice was strained.

“And why not?” Piggy pressed up against the door.

“Because I look like I'm for sale!”

“Susie, if you value your job and our friendship you're going to come out of that bathroom in 3, 2...” Piggy didn't have to finish.

“Here I am!” Susie ran out of the bathroom, “Let's go I'm ready!”
__________________________________________________________

The ladies finally made their way to the Light Lounge. The name wasn't wonderful, but it was the best club in town! Annie Sue would know, she'd done a story on the club when it first opened and it was still as popular and well received by all.

As luck would have it, the bouncer was a friend of Annie Sue's and he let the ladies in right away. They sat at the bar and ordered some food and drinks.

That was when they arrived. Club patrons started screaming praises

“Oh they're so handsome!” A club patron swooned.

“Gentlemen, we love you!” Yelled a batch of groupies.

The Gentlemen strode into the club with elegance, they sat down at a booth and several women came over right away.

“Hubba hubba!” Gonzo put his arms around the two ladies on either side of him.

“You're very pretty!” Fozzie told the ladies who'd crowded around him and they made 'aw' sounds in unison.

Kermit was keeping to himself, inspecting his drink every few seconds.

“Something wrong Kermit?” Fozzie turned to his friend.
________________________________________________________

“Susie, that is a tiny diamond!” Piggy took Susie's hand to further appraise the engagement ring.

“It's the thought that counts.” Annie Sue offered.

“Piggy, Scooter isn't made of money!” Susie felt herself blushing.

“Either way, I'm happy for vous dear!” Piggy smiled.

“Why, hello there, I noticed you were just as beautiful as me from the other side of the room.” a blonde male pig hand his hand on Piggy's shoulder, “My name is Link, Link Hogthrob! We ought to be out on the dance floor together.”

“Thank you for the compliment Link, but I'll have to pass.” Piggy pried Link's hand off of her shoulder.

“I assure my dear, there is no other man as good looking as me in this club! Passing up an opportunity like this would be plain stupid!” Link was persistent.

“And I can assure you that even if you were the last man on Earth I still wouldn't be interested!”

“But--”

“HIYA!” Piggy karate chopped Link clean across the club.

Piggy's karate chop was enough to catch Kermit's attention. He decided to put his telekinesis to good use. He picked up a champagne bottle and a glass, and had them move just behind Piggy. With his other hand, he used his telekinesis to tap her on the shoulder.

“Listen Buster, I...” Piggy stopped as she turned around and watched Kermit use his telekinesis to pour her a glass of champagne. “Thank you.” She picked up the glass and bottle, placing the bottle on the bar and she raised her glass to him and then took a drink.

Kermit smiled and when Piggy gestured for him to come over to her, he only smiled more.

“Look at you, flirting with one of The Gentlemen!” Annie Sue encouraged her.

“He's coming over! Oh my goodness! We're meeting an actual celebrity!” Susie fanned herself, this was very exciting.

“Thank you for the champagne mon cher.” Piggy was the first to speak once Kermit came over.

“You're very welcome, I'm Kermit, and you are?” He offered her a hand.

“Piggy, Piggy Sinclair!” She shook his hand and just stared into his ping pong ball eyes...almost forgetting about her friends, “And these are my friends, Annabelle and Susan.”

“Nice to meet you Kermit!” said Annie Sue.

“It's a pleasure Mr. Kermit! My fiancée Scooter is a big fan of you gentlemen!” Susie chimed.

“Nice to meet you too ladies, I was wondering if I could steal Piggy for a dance?” Kermit was still holding Piggy's hand and he looked back at her.

“Why of course you can steal moi!” Piggy got off the bar stool and let Kermit lead her to the dance floor.
__________________________________________________________

“You're a wonderful dancer Piggy.” Kermit pulled her a bit closer.

“As are you.” She rested her head on his shoulder.

They were so wrapped up in each other that they didn't notice Fozzie and Annie Sue dancing nearby or Gonzo dancing with both of his women from before and with some chickens that had arrived.

“Kermit, there's a robbery uptown! We've gotta go!” Fozzie poked Kermit on the shoulder.

“What? Oh...I'm sorry I have to rush off like this Piggy...I...” Kermit wasn't sure what to say.

“Don't fret, here's my business card. Call me sometime.” Piggy handed him one of her business cards.

“I will, good night!” Kermit ran out of the night club with Fozzie and Gonzo.

“Good night Kermie.” Piggy smiled to herself as she watched them leave.
_________________________________________________________
Notes: Susan is an OC of mine, I usually make her Piggy's assistant and Scooter's love interest. And yes, Piggy kept calling Annie Sue by the name Annabelle, mainly because I've always figured that is Annie Sue's full name.

<3

Wow! Kermit, and Miss Piggy's connection is really sophisticated. The slow dance bit was really romantic. I must be in love...

... Heck. I'm surrounded by love:

Kermit/Piggy
Fozzie/Annie Sue
Susie/Scooter (aww... <3)
Link/his hand <3

xD

Another fine job, Ewie. :3

Thank you very much! I had no idea how long this would end up being! And I'm glad you liked their little dance scene I loved writing it There will be more soon!

Chapter 3: Not Breaking Rules Just Yet...Well, maybe

“Well?” Gonzo looked right at Kermit as he sat down for breakfast.

“Well what?” Kermit poured himself some orange juice.

“When are you going to call her?” Fozzie asked as he took a bite of his toast.

“Call who?”

“That pig you met at the Light Lounge last night.” Gonzo poured milk into his Kap'N Alphabet cereal.

“She's at work, I'd hate to bother her.”
____________________________________________________________

“Thank you Hensonville, this is Piggy Sinclair signing off!” Piggy held a smile until the camera man gave her the clear to drop it, she then made her way back to her office.

“You were great Piggy, as always!” Susie handed Piggy a large coffee.

“Thank you dear.” Piggy sipped her coffee, “Any calls while I was on the air?”

“A few actually.” Susie smiled.

“Well? Who called?”

“Bernie making sure you got the welcome home basket he sent, your dry cleaner, and there was one more...”

“Who?”

“A certain gentleman...He said he has something important to ask you! I told him to call back right about...now!” Susie answered the phone. “Hello, Piggy Sinclair's office, this is her assistant Susan, how may I of be of service?”

“Susie, it's Kermit again, isn't Piggy off the air?” Kermit didn't want to seem impatient, but he was eager to speak with the lady who'd been running through his mind all day.

“Yes she is, I'll connect you at once!” Susie transferred the call to Piggy's personal line.

“Hello, Kermie?” Piggy put him on speaker phone.

“Hi there Piggy...” He was getting nervous, but was hopeful, “would you like to meet me for dinner this evening?”

____________________________________________________

“Fozzie, Kermit's got a date with the pig!” Gonzo cheered, “Way yo go Kermit!”

“A date? Isn't that against the rules?” Fozzie was happy for Kermit but he didn't want to see him get into trouble.

“Sam never said that, he said no falling in love. Dating isn't the same thing.” Kermit did his best to defend himself, but, in reality, he was falling for the porcine news reporter.

“How about this one?” Piggy was wearing a blue over the shoulder dress.

“It really brings out your eyes!” Susie complimented her.

Piggy surveyed herself in the full length mirror, sure, it looked great and it should for all the money she'd spent on it, but it wasn't quite the look she was going for.

“I think this is the one.” Piggy turned around to look at the back view of the dress in the mirror.

“Picture perfect!”

“Did somebody say picture?” Scooter walked into the room and pointed his camera at Susie.

“Scooter!” Although they'd been together quite some time now, Scooter could still make Susie blush like a school girl. “I wasn't ready!”

“You never know when the paparazzi will get you.” Scooter joked.

“That is oh so true!” Piggy looked out the window to see a limo pull up. “There's my ride! Thank you again for house sitting you two!” She grabbed her purse.

“You can count on us ma'am!”
_____________________________________________________

The amphibious crime fighter and the porcine news reporter had just ordered their dinner and were now enjoying great conversation, this date was only getting better when Piggy's purse started vibrating.

“One second, Kermie.” Piggy opened her purse just to look at her cell phone. The screen read 'SUSIE'. No matter what she wanted it could wait, and Piggy briskly silenced her cell phone.

“Everything alright?”asked Kermit.

“Everything is just fine.” Piggy hoped they could move the focus on the rest of the date.

“Piggy, you're a reporter if I'm not mistaken, right?” Kermit opened up the conversation.

“Yes, I'm a reporter for HNN, the Hensonville News Network.”

As Kermit was about to speak, Piggy's purse started vibrating again, “Forgive me Kermie!” Piggy opened her purse and this time the screen read 'BERNIE' and she couldn't just ignore that call the way she ignored Susie's call.

“No need to apologize.” Kermit assured her.

Piggy then answered the phone, “Yes? Uh-huh...yes, Susan is...uh-huh...uh-huh...I don't think, well, yes but...I'm on it!” Piggy slammed her phone shut, not out of anger but out of excitement.

“Piggy?” Kermit gave her a confused look.

“Everything is fine Kermit, really!” Piggy smiled.

However, she didn't mention that Bernie had called requesting she get an interview with Kermit. Piggy wasn't about to jeopardize her chances at a relationship with the handsome frog before her. She decided that it would be best to wait on asking for an interview.

_______________________________________________

“Miss Sinclair, what's it like to be dating one of the gentleman?” Asked a random paparazzi.

Piggy just ignored him and kept walking, maybe she shouldn't have agreed to go for coffee before work with Kermit. She did just have dinner with him the night before, but then again, she was only too eager to see him again.

“Miss Sinclair, where did you meet him?”

“How did you meet him?”

“Have you always had a thing for amphibians?”

Piggy hoped Kermit was having better luck than she was. He'd left the diner through the back, but he was also being bombarded by paparazzi.

“Kermit, where did you meet Piggy Sinclair?” A paparazzi shoved a microphone in his face.

“Kermit, Kermit, what do Fozzie and Gonzo think of your relationship?” Another paparazzi in the swarm asked.

“Do they even know about your relationship?”

__________________________________________________

“Miss Curtis, fifteen seconds to pose Miss Curtis!” Scooter walked into Susie's office with his trusty camera around his neck.

“Scooter! You didn't have to get me flowers!” She smiled as Scooter snapped a photo of her admiring the flowers he'd left on her desk a few minutes ago.

“Susie, you know I wanted to.” He put his camera down, “Where's Piggy?”

“Moi is here!” Piggy ran into the office and swiftly sat down at her desk, she was happy to have gotten away from the paparazzi.

The telephone on Susie's desk rang, “I should get that!” Susie answered, “Hello, Piggy Sinclair's office, her assistant Susan speaking, how may I...Bernie! I'll connect you right away!” She transferred the call to Piggy's phone line.

Piggy picked up the phone on her desk, “Hello Bernie, yes, I talked to Kermit and he's going to ask his friends if they're alright with doing an interview. Ta!” She hung up.

“You're doing an interview with The Gentleman?” Scooter asked.

“Well, perhaps dear.”

Susie: *in Scooter La-Laland, humming a certain Randy Newman song* <3


Vonderful, m'darlin'. c:

<3333

Thanks

Glad youse like it

--------------------------
DQM, so far so good...but WHAT ARE the powers given to the Muppets by Sam? I'd really like to know exactly what they're doing to keep the city safe...show me! And hey, how did Sam even have stuff that cool to give away? I did like Gonzo thinking the power to destroy the world was cool...good ol' Gonzo!

Show me more of the action. Why are the Gentlemen being lauded in the papers? If they're superheroes, why do they lounge in nightclubs out in the open, and why aren't the paparazzi following them home? (I smell dirty socks...oh, wait, that's just Fleet.) The relationship between Scooter and Susie looks good, but I'd like a little more depth to it; maybe give them their own scene? And why can't our heroes fall in love?

I don't know the album you based this on; while there's certainly nothing wrong with doing so (I use lots of in-jokes in my own fic) you shouldn't feel constrained by that format. Expand your characters a little more, show us some psychology, get deeper into the whole thing! I think you have the ability to do so; don't hold back and don't be afraid of what anyone else will think. Keep writing!
------------------------

Thank you, and, I'm goign to have a chappie that covers their powers very soon! also, they hang around in night club mainly b/c in the mini-movie of the music album thats what the gentleman do after they clean up the city xD

Action you say? Don't worry, action is on it's way! And, also, they have no secret identities, they're in super hero form all the time.

Scooter and Susie get lots of 'chapter time' if you will in the upcoming chaps.

Also, the reason our heroes can't fall in love is also a secret that will be revealed in time ;D

Thank you for the review

Chapter 4: A lurking evil awaits, could a broken rule have sealed this fate?

“Do you think if we were to describe our powers to Piggy during our interview we'd get into trouble?” Kermit posed the question.

“Kermit, that's what you think isn't it?” Fozzie asked.

“I didn't say that...”

“Ah, but you were thinking it!” The bear smiled, being a mind reader sure was fun.

“C'mon Kermit, what Sam told us is straightforward.” Gonzo had a much more laid back view of the set of rules.

“You're right Gonzo! Now, how about we get back to training...”

“Kermit?” Fozzie asked.

“What is it Fozzie?”

“You're thinking about the interview, what we should say and that we should be training but it can wait a while, right?”

“Right...so, what would we say?”

“We've all got four powers in common: telekineses, super strength, flying and super speed. And then we've all got a unique ability.” Gozno flew up into the air and did a back flip.

“I have psychic abilities!” Fozzie could in fact read minds, control minds, send messages to them and think about something and have it happen, this part of the power was in synced up with his telekineses.

“I've got super elasticity!” Gonzo stretched one of his arms all the way to the kitchen to grab a soda while still in midair.

“And I...” Kermit looked down, he wasn't as proud of his unique gift as his friends. “I've got that supersonic cry, supersonic ribbit rather.”

“Training's back on!” Gonzo stretched his legs and was now at least 6 feet tall, he threw his soda can at Fozzie.

Fozzie stopped the soda can with telekineses, made a fist with his free hand thus crushing the can and causing soda to fly everywhere. “Oops.”

“I've got it.” Kermit used his supersonic cry and the house started to shake, the windows rattled and the soda all over the furniture was gone! In its place were sparkles that resembled diamonds. They had noticed this from the very beginning, even asking Sam about the diamond sparkles, but he told them not to worry about it.

“Boy, this is fun!” Gonzo went back to his normal height. “We should train with some flaming hoops!”

“Maybe not in the house.” Even Fozzie didn't think recking the place was such a great idea.

The power in the house went out, “And that's why I don't like using that supersonice ribbit of mine...” Kermit felt embarrassed, this was the second time he'd made the house black out!

“Hello gentleman.” The television clicked on and there was Sam.

“What are you doing on our television?” Gonzo asked.

“I am here to warn you. There is an evil lurking...” Sam started to explain.

“Where?” The gentlemen asked in unison.

“I was getting to that! It is right in the city and it might be closer than you think.” Sam looked at each of them, however, he stared at Kermit for the longest.

Fozzie tried to get a read on Sam's mind, but was blocked. “Ouch!”

“It is very impolite to try and read the mind of a commanding officer.” Sam scolded the bear. “Be wary of the evil. I can't say when exactly it will release itself, but, be careful. That is all gentleman.”

And with that the screen went blank, the lights flicked back on and the gentlemen were left wondering what the evil could be...Kermit's first thought was Piggy.

“No, not her! Not her!” Kermit held his head in his hands.

“Kermit are you alright?” Fozzie had stopped reading minds for the moment.

“No...I'll be back later! Train without me if you want!” Kermit ran out of the house at full speed.

“That is one crazed frog!” Gonzo shook his head.

“At least he isn't hopping mad!”
_____________________________________________________

“Piggy?” Kermit knocked on her door.

“Oh Kermie...what a surprise!” Piggy was a bit caught off guard by this visit, but, happy nonetheless.

“I had to come and see you.”

“Come in mon cher.” Piggy lead him inside and to her living room. “Have a seat.”

Kermit sat down next to Piggy, “Thank you Piggy.”

“So, what shall we discuss?” Piggy scooted closer to her frog.

“I wanted to talk to you about that interview.”

“What about it?”

“Fozzie, Gonzo and I would be happy to do it!”

“Oh Kermie!” Piggy hugged him. “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“P-piggy...I c-can't breathe!”

“Oh, pardon moi!” She let go of him.

Kermit had wanted to bring up Sam, tell Piggy all about him, each and every rule, and everything else! He just wished he could be a lot more honest with her.
_____________________________________________________

With Kermit gone, Gonzo and Fozzie decided to go ahead and train. Gonzo's definition of training, which Fozzie had no objections to of course, involved throwing random objects at each other and either crushing them, saving them or combinations of both.

“Banana, box of explosives and the mop!” Gonzo threw these things at Fozzie.

Fozzie quickly froze the three in the air, crushed the banana, lowered the mop to the ground and defused the explosives using his mind and then crushed the box as well.

“Your turn Gonzo!” Fozzie chose some objects for Gonzo to take on.

“Bring it on!”

“Giant whoopee cushion, samurai swords, and...the lamp from the living room! But, save the lamp!” Fozzie sent the items flying at Gonzo.

“Here I go!” Gonzo stretched his arms to get the samurai swords, he slashed the whoopee cushion with them, crushed them with his strength and managed to save the lamp with telekineses. “That was a close one!”
___________________________________________________

“Did you hear that?” Kermit asked.

Piggy heard glass being tapped, she was about to go towards the sound when Kermit stopped her.

“Wait here.” Kermit ran towards the sound to find two fellows dressed in black from head to toe.

“Oh no, it's on of those guys!” Said one of the assailants.

“Not just one of them!” Gonzo pushed one of the assailants down.

“But all three of us!” Fozzie pushed the other one down.

“Good 'cause we brought company!” A few more assailants appeared.

“Fozzie, Gonzo, let's take these guys down!” Kermit went to punch the baddie closest to him.

“That all ya got frog?” He dodged Kermit's punch.

“You should always keep your eyes on your opponent!”

“What?”

Before he could get out a full thought, Kermit was behind him and had knocked him out! Gonzo was quick to stretch and arm and swept the others down!

“Guys there are more!” Fozzie warned as he tangled with a few more himself.

Fozzie decided the quickest way to knock these guys out was to fill their minds with his jokes, so he did.

“That's all of them isn't it?” Kermit looked to Fozzie and Gonzo.

“Not quite!” One more assailant showed up, however, this one was clearly female and bird of some sort. she was also dressed in all black, only her wings were exposed.

“We don't hit girls.” Fozzie held up both of his hands.

“Well, you're in luck gentleman. I'm a woman.” She crossed her wings.

“Who do you work for?” Kermit asked.

“None of your business.” She flapped her wings and sent a vortex of wind and various debris straight towards the guys.

Fozzie tried to read her mind, hoping to get an idea of her next move, but, he was blocked from doing so! He put up a telekineses force field and the others followed suit.

The lady bird flapped her wings harder, creating a much bigger vortex this time.

“I've got an idea!” Gonzo stretched his legs and became taller, he pulled the vortex towards himself with his telekineses, and then sent it back at the bird!

“Ah!” She was buffeted by her own attack. “Take this!” Flapping her wings again, this vortex was significantly bigger than the others.

“Gentlemen, let's take this one out together!” Kermit started with a telekineses force field, combining it with Fozzie's and Gonzo's, but, the vortex blew right through it!

“What do we do now?” Fozzie asked. This was getting difficult, He couldn't read her mind at all, let alone attack her like that, their combined telekineses wasn't working.

“Kermit, you should use your secret weapon!” Gonzo meant the supersonic cry.

As much as Kermit didn't want to, he had no choice, he used his supersonic ribbit, which not only broke the vortex, but also broke quite a few of Piggy's windows. The lady bird was now on her knees, trying use her wings as a shield from the sound of the ribbit.

“I can't tell you who I'm working for, but I will tell you this: If you don't start following the rules you will be sorry!” And with that, she disappeared.

“Piggy, are you alright?” Kermit ran at full speed back to her and reached out and held her hands.

“I'm fine Kermie, thank you.” She pulled her frog close, “What happened?”

“Some bad guys tried to break in.” Fozzie started to explain.

“But, we took care of them!” Gonzo added.

“Kermit would never let anything bad happen to you!”

“Fozzie!” Kermit would have blushed as Fozzie had just shared one of his exact thoughts with Piggy.

Piggy pecked Kermit's lips and turned to face Fozzie and Gonzo, “Thank you, all of you, for protecting moi.”

_____________________________________________

The gentlemen made their way home and had decided to call it a night. But, Kermit couldn't sleep. At this point, he was convinced that Sam was trying to have Piggy taken care of...permanently. Kermit had no doubt that Piggy could have taken out the one with out powers herself, but if he hadn't been there and if Fozzie and Gonzo hadn't shown up...The frog shook his head, thinking like that wasn't helpful for anyone or anything. Piggy had his heart, and if he was breaking a rule so be it. He'd protect her at all costs and by any means necessary. He was a hero, granted powers to protect others, and he would do just that.

Notes: Who is this bird of prey as we'll call her? Is she indeed working for Sam? What will be the evil that arises? Kermit is well aware of the fact he's breaking a rule...what will that mean for our heroes? You will find out soon my dears!

Ahhhhhhhhh! Me LOVEEEEEE! more please! And thanks for starting to follow me. Thanks!

Thank you, I'm glad I'm working on the next chapter x)

And you are very welcome

Teehee! I was convinced the Lady Bird was Camilla(?) x)

I pity Sam-- and no doubt on Kermit, Kermit is a pig Miss Piggy's magnant. xD

Can't wait for the future installments, sis. Great job!

LOL nope, she's not Camilla x)

I feel for Sam too, and Kermit </3. But then again, they were just 3 simple rules...

Yes lol Kermit can attract all the lady pigs he wants but Piggy is his one and only <3

And thank you sis Moi is currently working on the next chappie

Teehee. I agree with LinkiePie<3

Piggy had just finished interviewing the gentlemen, the cameras had all gone off and now it was time to relax.

“Kermit, you remember Susie. And this is her fiancée, the station's gofer, and part-time photographer at The Hensonville Gazette.” Piggy introduced Kermit to Scooter.

“Hi, I'm Scooter!” Scooter shook hands with Kermit.

“Nice to meet you Scooter, Susie tells me you're a fan of ours.” Kermit recalled.

“You bet! You three are the best thing that's come to the city in a long time! Mind if I get some photos?”

“Not at all, right guys?” Kermit looked at his friends.

“I'm in!” said Gonzo.

“Me too!” Fozzie agreed.

After the pictures were done, Kermit pulled Piggy aside, feeling it was about time he said something about the other night. Sure he and the guys had agreed to pay for her busted windows and maybe they had saved her from those assassins, but, still.

“Piggy?” Kermit looked deep into her eyes, almost forgetting everything he was about to say.

“Yes, Kermie?”

“About the other night...I...”

“Kermie, don't. You are not at fault.”

“But I am Piggy! You're in danger all because of me and I...”

“What are you trying to say?” Piggy felt herself back away from him a bit, she thought she knew exactly what he was going to say. She'd heard this speech quite a few times, just worded differently.

“That...” Kermit was about to say what she expected him to when he realized the power of the words he was about to utter. He loved her too much to walk away, and he wasn't about to do that. “I'm sorry to be putting you through things like this and I will protect you no matter what.”

Piggy hugged him, she was overjoyed that he hadn't broken things off with her.

“So, what are your plans with Kermit this weekend?” Susie smiled as she began tiding up the office.

“We haven't made plans just yet, what about vous and Scooter?”

“We're going to watch movies at his apartment. I hate horror movies and they're his favorite, but he holds me through them.” Susie hugged herself and closed her eyes, pretending it was Scooter who was hugging her.

“How sweet!”

Susie watered the plant in the office, “Hey, Piggy, c-could I ask you a question?”

Piggy nodded and waited for Susie to ask.

“Well, Scooter and I finally set a date for our wedding and I was wondering if...” Her cheeks went red, “If you would be my maid of honor.”

“Susie...of course!” Piggy hugged her assistant.

“Thank you Piggy!” Susie hugged her back. “So, you'll come with me to look at wedding dress?”

“What kind of maid of honor would moi be if I didn't?”

“Um, Piggy, its about time for lunch and Scooter is doing some on location work today and I promised I'd go to his apartment and feed Muppy. There's a cute little cafe right by his apartment building. I could pick up lunch from there. I'll be back in 20 minutes, 25 minutes tops!” Susie felt herself sweating.

“You're on the clock Susan!” Piggy teased as she used Susie's full name.

Piggy hit her left elbow on her desk, but it was no big deal, that happened every now and then. However, this time she'd split the desk in half.

“Susan?”

“Yes ma'am?” Susie was just about to leave.

“Could you order a new desk for moi?”

“I'm on it!” As shocked as she was, Susie could freak out about the desk splitting in half later.

“Wren, you clearly did not understand the nature of my plans!” Sam was unpleased to say the least.

“What is that supposed to mean?” The lady bird before him crossed her wings. “You gave me an order and I tried to carry it out!”

Sam covered his face and shook his head in disapproval, he was at a loss right now. He knew that if not Fozzie and Gonzo, Kermit was suspicious of him by now and that suspicion would only bring him to further break the rules. It was too late now, the evil Sam had warned of was already starting to rise.

“Wren, you're fired!” Sam didn't look up at her, he just couldn't. This was the second time he was telling Wren she was fired, but her meant it this time.

“Here's your aspirin ma'am!” Susie handed Piggy aspirin and a glass of water.

“Thank you Susie!” Piggy quickly took the pills.

“Still with the headaches?” It had been quite a few days and Piggy had been asking Susie for aspirin before broadcasts, after broadcasts and during commercial breaks as well.

“Yes...but it's not a head ache, it's my eyes...” Piggy pulled out a compact mirror and looked at her eyes. They looked rather blood shot and perhaps it was just her, but she thought the blue in her eyes was fading somehow.

“Eye pressure? I could run down to the pharmacy and get some...”

Piggy stopped her, “No, no dear. I'll be fine! I just have to power through the day is all!”

“Yes ma'am!” Susie had never questioned her boss before and wasn't about to start.

Susie was let off a few hours early and although she was grateful for it, she was still worried about Piggy and the headaches and eye aches or whatever they were. And the desk thing too...Right before Piggy had told Susie to take the rest of the day off, Piggy hung up her personal phone much too hard and had not only crushed the phone, but she'd totaled her new desk. She was at dinner with Scooter now, but putting the worry out of her mind was a lot harder than she thought.

“What's wrong Susie?” Scooter asked.

Susie continued to play with the pasta on her plate and looked up, “Piggy...she's been feeling sick for a couple of days and not sick as in a cold or flu. Her eyes have been bugging her.”

“That is weird! Does she have any idea why?”

“None at all.”

Susie frowned and although Scooter wished he could provide more comfort he decided to change the subject. “So, we're still on for dinner with my uncle on Sunday, right?”

“Yes...Is he going to bring up pre-nups again? Because he did that the first time he met me!” Susie was still embarrassed at that fact especially since she was Scooter's prom date when that happened.

“No, I talked to him already. There won't be any talk of pre-nups, lady wrestling, lady mud wrestling or anything of the sort.” He offered a smile.

“Scooter?”

“Yeah?”

“I love you!” She looked up and smiled at him.

“I love you too Susie.” Scooter smiled back at her.

Piggy awoke and sat up in bed, she just couldn't sleep. It was her eyes again, she decided to wash her face, grab a snack, maybe watch some late night TV and if she could then she'd get back to sleep.

She took off her sleeping mask and headed for her bathroom.

“HOLY MARACAS!” Piggy nearly jumped out of her skin.

“Scooter, I hate this part!” Susie buried her face in his shoulder, they were at Scooter's apartment now watching a horror movie and the unsuspecting young woman on the screen was about to answer her phone, only to come face to face with the killer.

“It's only a movie Susie!” Scooter assured her.

“I know, but that doesn't make it any less scary!” And that was when the telephone rang.

“Don't answer it's the killer!” Susie screamed in protest as the girl on the TV screen went to pick up the phone.

Scooter shook his head at her antics, wriggled out of their embrace and he answered the phone, “Hello?”

“Scooter, is Susan with you?” It was Piggy and she sounded quite serious, almost angry even.

“Yeah, why?”

“Be at my place in 20 minutes, there's a key under the mat, let yourselves in.”

“Piggy, what?” The phone line went dead as he was about to ask what was going on. “Susie?”

“Right here!” Susie peeked out from under the blanket she was using to shield herself from the on-screen terror.

“That was Piggy and it sounded like it was important!”

Susie threw off the blanket, Piggy could be in trouble!

“There you are!” Piggy ran to greet Susie and Scooter.

“Sorry we're late ma'am! For this time of night there was a lot of traffic!” Susie explained.

“That doesn't matter!” Piggy pushed up the sunglasses she had on, “We've got bigger problems!”

Susie pulled a note pad and pen out her purse and prepared for her boss to say anything at all. “Such as?”

“This!” Miss Piggy slowly took off her sunglasses to reveal her eyes, they were no longer blue. They were white, gleaming spheres, practically diamonds.

“Um...Scooter, any ideas?” Susie was at a loss.

“I've got it!” Scooter smiled, “Some friends of mine could help!”

Susie scribbled down the names Bunsen and Beaker on her note pad, “Good idea Scooter!”

Piggy put her sunglasses back on, “What about these friends of yours?”

“They're scientists! They'll know exactly what to do.”

“Hello Scooter, Susie! And what a pleasure it is to meet you Miss Sinclair! It's so exciting to have a celebrity in out midst, isn't it Beakie?” said Bunsen.

“Mee, meep!” Beaker nodded.

“Now, Scooter has informed us that you're having a bit of a problem...”

“A bit of problem?” Piggy threw off her sunglasses, “That isn't just a bit of a problem! It's a big one!”

Bunsen then realized this was serious, “Oh my...please come with us Miss Sinclair.” Bunsen led the way to the innermost part of the lab. “We'll have to run a few tests.”

“How long will this take Dr. Honeydew?” Susie asked glancing at her watch, “Piggy, Scooter and I have to be at work in...4 hours.”

“I'm not going into work like this!” Piggy protested.

“If you're not going, I'm not going!” Susie crossed her arms.

“No, Susie, you have to go! Or else they'll give Annabelle my morning and evening segments!”

“But how will they even consider me to take over your segments, even temporarily? I'm only your assistant!”

“Leave that to me Susie!” Scooter smiled, “My uncle will take care of it!”
