Chapter 8

It was the night of the big swamp party. Rowlf, Kermit, and Maggie were getting ready. Kermit was tuning his banjo, Rowlf was tuning his piano, and Maggie was tuning her voice.
"Do re mi fa so la ti do."
Kermit snickered. "Nice singing."
"Thanks Mit!" She thought for a moment. "Wait, are you being sarcastic?"
[Sarcasticly] "No, of course not." Kermit snickered.
"Mit!"
"I'm sorry Mags. You sound fine. Now, Rowlf, are you ready?"
Rowlf gulped. "As ready as I'll ever be."
"Hey, are you OK?" Maggie asked.
"I'm just a little nervous."
"Why?"
"Well, don't you guys think it's a little weird that a dog is playing the piano? What if nobody likes me, or my playing?"
Kermit and Maggie looked at each other.
"Think about it Rowlf. I'm a frog that plays the banjo, and she's a frog that sings. They'll love you and your playing! Trust me."
Rowlf smiled. "Thanks Kermit. You know, you're a great friend."
Kermit smiled back. "Thanks. Your a great friend too."
Maggie tapped her foot. "Hey! What about me?"
Rowlf looked at Maggie. "You're a great friend too Mags."
Maggie smiled triumphantly. "See Mit? He likes me more!"
Kermit shook his head. "Whatever."
A frog with a tremendous speaking voice came in front of the three and began the introduction.
"Welcome everybody, to the swamp party!"
Everybody cheered.
"Now, I am sure that you guys have heard of three dog night. Well, here's our answer to them. Here they are, the two frogs and one dog night! Take it away!"
Rowlf, Kermit and Maggie began to sing the song, "Jump, Shout, Boogie", but they changed some of the words.
"Well, not to long ago in nineteen forty four,
when every mother's son was going off to war,
they had to lift their spirits high.
For uncle Sam, motherhood, and apple pie.
Instead of spending money that they didn't have,
in hotspots in the bronx.
They went to hear that kind of jazz,
in those funky honky tonks.
It makes you want to jump,
[Frogs]: JUMP!
shout,
[Frogs]: SHOUT!
knock yourselves out.
[Frogs] [knock each other out]
A froggy woggy beat is what I'm talking about.
They got the heeby geebies they could dance away,
to the froggy woggy beat of the piano dog aplayin,
they could jump,
[Frogs]: Jump!
shout,
[Frogs]: Shout!
knock yourselves out.
Froggy woggy beat is what I'm talking about.
You could do a switcharoony if you felt yourself down,
to the froggy woggy beat of the piano dog agoin to town!"
Clover was dancing with Goggles, but Goggles wasn't really getting into it. Croaker was staring at Maggie admiringly, and Blotch was breakdancing.
Rover and Spot were squaredancing with each other.
Rowlf took a piano solo, and everybody cheered for him. After the chorus again, the music stopped and everybody shouted.
"YEAH!!"
Rowlf was beaming when everybody cheered for them. But he didn't hear them, for he was thinking to himself.
"Well, I've decided. This is what I am going to do with the rest of my life."
The rest of the evening just got better and better.

 

[TogetherAgain]

SQUEEEEEEEE!

Kermit snickered. "Nice singing."
"Thanks Mit!" She thought for a moment. "Wait, are you being sarcastic?"
[Sarcasticly] "No, of course not." Kermit snickered.
"Mit!"

Awesomely awesomeness!!!!! I swear, you've got that relationship down to a T! Or is that a tea? Or a tee? Or... Oh I give up. It's awesome!

Clover was dancing with Goggles, but Goggles wasn't really getting into it. Croaker was staring at Maggie admiringly, and Blotch was breakdancing.
Rover and Spot were squaredancing with each other.

More awesomeness! I love it! Every inch of it!

Oh my gosh good golly graciousness, I love this chapter! ESPECIALLY this:

"Well, I've decided. This is what I am going to do with the rest of my life."
The rest of the evening just got better and better.

Did I squee yet? Because SQUEEEEEEEEE!

 

[Fraggleforever]

Thank you everybody.
I hope you don't mind if I use your character Togetheragain. I mean, I am a huge fan of Swamp Call, and Maggie is such a strong character.
Thank you everybody for your comments so far. The next chapter will be up soon. But, I don't know how soon.

 

[TogetherAgain]

Oh I don't mind at all, in fact I'm glad you like her! And as I said, you have her personality and her relationship with "Mit" PERFECT, and I love it! Really, I wish you could see how excited it makes me... It's actually probably a little pathetic that I'm this excited, but... <shrug> I'm really looking forward to the next chapter, whenever you get it up!

 

[Fraggleforever]

Oh....well, in that case,

Chapter 9

It was the morning after, and Rowlf, Clover, Spot and Rover were getting ready to leave. Rowlf hugged Kermit's and Maggie's mom.
"Thank you for letting me and my siblings stay here mom."
"You're very welcome Rowlf. And if you ever think of it, come visit us again sometime."
"You bet." Rowlf went over to Kermit and Maggie.
"And thank you for you friendship. And the courage that I needed."
Kermit hugged Rowlf. "I hope to see you again someday."
Maggie was getting tears in her eyes. Rowlf saw this.
"Oh, come here Mags." Rowlf hugged Maggie.
"I hate goodbyes." sobbed Maggie.
"Me too." said Clover. She was hugging Goggles, and he wasn't very fond of it.
"Uh....you're crushing me...."
"Oh....sorry." She let go of him. "I hope to see you again someday too." She licked him on the cheek. Goggles blushed.
"Oh....well I...aw shucks."
Croaker and Blotch shook Spot's and Rover's hands.
"See you guys." said Croaker.
"Back at cha." responded Spot.
Kermit's and Maggie's mom stepped forward.
"Now, you pups take care of yourselves. And watch out for cars." She scooped them up for one more hug.
"We will. Goodbye!" The puppies started to walk away, until they saw a truck coming up the road. It was the same truck that tried to kidnap them a few nights ago.
"Hey Louie! Look!"
"It's those mutts! Let's get them!"
They stopped the truck and got out. They chased the puppies and caught them one by one. The frogs looked on in horror as they put them in a sack and threw them in the back. They got back in the pickup and drove off.
"ROWLF! SPOT! CLOVER! ROVER!" shouted the worried frogs, but it was no use.
Goggles said, "What are we going to do?"
Maggie proclaimed, "Well, what are we doing standing around here for?! LET'S FOLLOW THEM!!"
Kermit added, "Let's go!!"
Kermit, Maggie, Blotch, Croaker, and Goggles ran off in the direction that the truck went.
Kermit's and Maggie's mom stayed behind.
"God speed, children. God speed."

 

[TogetherAgain]

[theprawncracker]

[Fraggleforever]

Before I start, I would just like to say.....

Chapter 10

The two men opened the door to a abandoned warehouse, filled with other dogs that they kidnapped during the last few months. They spotted a empty cage, and emptied the sack into it. Rowlf, Clover, Spot, and Rover looked at their surroundings.
"Whe....where are we?" asked Clover.
"I don't know...." replied Spot.
"Hey Rowlf, what are we going to do?" asked Rover.
Rowlf wasn't paying attention to what they were saying. His hands were holding the bars surrounding the cage. He hung his head, and closed his eyes. After awhile, he spoke.
"This is all my fault. If I didn't find that piano, none of this would have ever happened."
Clover walked up to him, and put her arm around him.
"Come on bro, you can't blame yourself for what happened."
Rowlf didn't reply. Well, at least not in words. He replied in song.
"I wish I had a coat of silk, the color of the sky.
I wish I had a lady fair, and then a butterfly.
I wish I had a house of stone, that looked down on the sea.
But most of all, I wish that I was someone else but me."
The puppies listened to the sad song. Clover got tears in her eyes, and Spot and Rover hung their heads. Clover began to sing.
"Now you don't have a coat of silk, but still you have the sky."
Spot joined in.
"Now you don't have a lady, but there goes a butterfly."
Rover sang as well.
"Now you don't have a house of stone, but we can see the sea."
Rowlf raised his head.
"But most of all, I know that I am happy to be me."
The puppies nodded and sang together.
"We're happy to be we."
The puppies huddled together, to keep warm in the cold warehouse. At that time, they overheard the men speaking.
"This is great. We have enough dogs to start our own business."
"What business is that?"
"You idiot. The furcoat business. Remember?"
"Oh yeah, huh, I forgot."
"Now come on, help me get the skinning instruments ready."
"The what?"
"The knives you idiot, the knives."
"Oh yeah."
The men exited the warehouse, leaving the puppies scared and cold.
"I do not like the sound of that." Rowlf whispered.
It would take a miracle to save them now.
