[minor muppetz]

Here's the next installment of my fan fiction series, "The Muppets After The Muppets", taking place after the events of "The Muppets".

Here are past installments:

Act 1

Kermit came out on stage to introduce the next act.

“And now, by popular demand, here is the singing trio of Animal, Beaker, and The Swedish Chef!”

The curtain raised and the trio sang their rendition of “Backstreet’s Back”.

“Well, they’re back”, said Statler.

“Hopefully not for long”, said Waldorf.

The two laughed.

Backstage, Animal, Beaker, and the Swedish Chef encountered that night’s guest star, Justin Bieber.

“That was some good singing”, said Justin Bieber, “I wish I could sing as good as you three.”

“Mee mo”, said Beaker.

“Guud coommind”, said The Swedish Chef.

“Come on, Animal”, said Floyd, “we’ve got to do the next number.”

“alright”, growled Animal.

“So do I”, said Justin Bieber.

Kermit went out on-stage.

“And now here’s tonight’s very special guest star, Justin Bieber!”, announced Kermit.

“Justin Bieber?”, said Waldorf.

“If we knew he was the guest we wouldn’t have come tonight”, said Statler.

“Well, we can still leave the theater”, said Waldorf.

And they did.

Kermit went backstage, and a man in a business suit, sunglasses, and a toupee showed up.

“May I help you?”, asked Kermit.

“Yes”, said the man, “I was just watching the last number, and I’d like to talk with the singers.”

“Oh, well, one of them is in the canteen, one of them is on stage, and I don’t know where the other one is”, said Kermit.

“I’ll start with the one on stage”, said the man, headed to the stage during Justin Bieber’s performance.

“Hey, Animal!”, said the man, “Animal, stop drumming…”

The man grabbed Animal’s drums.

“Hey, we’ve got an act to do”, said Dr. Teeth.

“Yeah”, said Justin Bieber, “I haven’t finished my song.”

“Nobody cares about your songs”, said the man, “Beat it!”

Animal then beat the man, growling angrily. The man ran off-stage.

“I think I’ll go down to the canteen.

The man went to the canteen.

“Is The Swedish Chef down here?”, asked the man.

“Oh, yes, he is”, said Gladys, “Chef! Somebody’s here to see you!”

The man also saw Bunsen and Beaker sitting at one of the tables, discussing ideas for new inventions.

“I think we’ll invent a lasagna-flavored soft drink”, said Bunsen.

Beaker gave a disgusted look on his face.

“Oh, Beaker”, said the man, “I’d like to talk with you, too”.

“Meep?”, said Beaker.

The Swedish Chef came out.

“Yo woona der took tu me?”, said The Swedish Chef.

“Yes”, said the man, “My name is Jason Mulster, I’m a talent scout….”

“Did you ever get your eagle rank?”, joked Bunsen.

“Very funny”, said Jason, who then turned to the “camera” and said, “NOT!”

“Anyway, I liked your singing, and I want to sign you three up.”

“Oos three?”, said The Swedish Chef.

“Mee mee meep mee mo mee”, said Beaker.

“I know the other one isn’t here yet”, said Jason, “I tried offering him a gig but he was busy.”

Just then Animal and Floyd came downstairs.

“You did good Animal”, said Floyd, “except for when that man interrupted our…”

Floyd noticed Jason in the canteen.

“Oh, boy”, said Floyd.

“Hi, I’m Jason Mulster”, said Jason, tipping his wig off his head, “And I’d like to schedule a tour for Animal, the Chef, and Beaker.”

“Tour?”, said Animal.

“Mee mee mee mee mee”, said Beaker.

“Well, I don’t know”, said Floyd.

“WANT TOUR! WANT TOUR!”, interrupted Animal.

“Mee mee!”, said Beaker.

“ooohhh boy!”, said The Swedish Chef, excited, “a shoot der fama!”

“Okay, you can all sign up now”, said Jason, handing out contracts and pens.

Act 2

The gang was at the bus stop, saying goodbye to Animal, Beaker, and The Swedish Chef.

“Well, bye, buddy”, said Floyd.

“Like, don’t forget to write”, said Janice.

“Does Animal even know how to write?”, asked Dr. Teeth.

“Well, Beakie”, said Bunsen, “I’ve made you a special singing spray.”

“Mee?”, asked Beaker.

“Just spray it into your mouth, and you’ll sing a lot better”, said Bunsen.

Bunsen looked the other way and Beaker quickly tossed the spray bottle over his shoulder.

“Well, goodbye, Chef”, said Gladys.

“Eeet ookay”, said The Swedish Chef, “iylll oonlee bi goone fer swynt wookes”.

“Uh, right”, said a confused Gladys.

“Well, the bus is coming”, said Kermit.

The bus stopped at its destination. Jason Mulster opened the door.

“Well, welcome aboard”, said Jason.

Animal, Beaker, and The Swedish Chef all walked onto the bus.

“So long”, said Zoot.

“Farewell”, said Janice.

“Auf widersehen, goodbye”, said Floyd.

“Not now”, said Kermit, scrunching his face.

The bus doors closed and the bus drove off. Lips began playing taps on his trumpet.

“Now what are we going to do about a drummer?”, asked Dr. Teeth.

“What am I going to do about a lab assistant?”, asked Bunsen.

“And what will we do about a cook in the canteen?”, asked Gladys.

Walter then popped up.

“I’ll happily help everyone out”, said Walter.

“Beaker also assists Beauregard with his stagehand work”, said Bunsen.

“Oh, no problem”, said Walter.

“Well, let’s go back to the theater”, said Gladys, “I’ll have to show you where the cooking stuff is.”

“We start rehearsing tomorrow at 2PM”, said Janice.

“I’ll get you when I need you”, said Bunsen.

“As long as you don’t need him at 2PM”, said Dr. Teeth.

Meanwhile, on the bus…

“You three are going to love this tour”, said Jason, “after it’s over you might not want to come back to the Muppet Theater.”

“Not come back?”, said Animal.

“Mee mee?”, said a worried Beaker.

“Why would you all want to come back?”, asked Jason.

The three all talked at once, making it hard to understand, not that it’d be easier if they were talking once at a time.

Beaker then stopped talking and started thinking, of the times he drank Bunsonium, tried hair-growing tonic, tried atomic elevador shoes, got hit with the electronic sledge hammer, and the time he tried the nose warmer.

“Hmm”, thought Beaker, now much more happier than ever to be away from the theater.

“Our first gig comes in 30 minutes”, said Jason, “we must be ready!”

“Thooty manootes?”, questioned The Swedish Chef.

“Mee mee mee meep?”, asked Beaker.

“Oh, we have plenty of time to rehearse on the bus”, said Jason, “but don’t worry, you’ll never forget this performance.”

Their first gig was at a McDonald’s restaurant, trying to sing “Do You Believe in Magic?” while various customers tried to order their food, being distracted by their singing. Soon, they were all thrown out by the manager.

“Next time you sing, do it at Burger King!”, said the manager.

“Well, that went well”, said Jason.

“Well?”, thought Animal.

“Yes, well”, said Jason, “Now we’ve got to get to our next gig.”

“Another gig?”, said Animal.

“Oolroodee?”, said The Swedish Chef.

“Yes, already”, said Jason, who then felt his head and noticed his wig missing, “Oh, and has anyone seen my wig?”

The next performance… Was at a karaoke bar. Beaker, Animal, and The Swedish Chef all sang “For the Longest Time.” The audience cheered.

“Play it again!”, said a customer.

“Foor huw long?”, asked The Swedish Chef.

“For the longest time!”, said the customer.

Jason Mulster came on-stage.

“I know you’d like to hear more”, said Jason, “but we’ve got to head to another gig. If you want to see them again…”

“We can watch Muppet Show reruns?”, asked a customer.

“I was going to say you can travel to The Burlesque Club”, said Jason.

“Burlesque?”, said Animal.

“Yeah”, said Jason, “it’s open mic night.”

They went to The Burlesque Club. Animal saw some pretty women in pretty low-cut costumes.

“WO-MAN! WO-MAN!”, yelled Animal, attempting to chase one, only to be restricted by his chain, which Jason was holding.

“Wait until your act”, said Jason.

Three sexy Muppet women in burlesque costumes were on stage, singing a seductive version of “We Didn’t Start the Fire”. During the performance, various customers were suddenly caught on fire. Beaker looked around, worried that he’d catch fire, but then the act ended and Beaker let out a sigh of relief that he didn’t catch fire.

“And now, from The Muppet Show, here’s Beaker, Animal, and The Swedish Chef!”

The three went on-stage and sang their own version of “If You Wanna Be My Lover”.

They went back to their seats.

“Well, I just made arrangements for you three to have your very own concert”, said Jason.

The three looked impressed but hesitant.

“Have you three ever wanted to perform at Carnegie Hall?”, asked Jason.

The three perked up with excitement.

“Then you three have got to practice”, said Jason, “Anyway, your concert will be on Broadway.”

“BROAD-WAY!”, yelled Animal.

“In an alley behind one of Broadway’s biggest theaters”, said Jason.

The three had disappointed looks on their faces.

Act 3

Down in the canteen of the Muppet Theater…

“Walter!”, shouted Gladys, angrily, “This is the third meal you burnt today!”

“Sorry”, said a disappointed Walter.

“Look, just watch over the stove”, said Gladys, “I have an important hair appointment.”

Gladys walked away, and Bunsen Honeydew came by.

“Okay, Walter”, said Bunsen, “It’s time to test out my new lasagna-flavored soft drink.”

“Okay”, said Walter, wondering if he’d made the right decision to be Bunsen’s lab partner.

Walter took a sip, then spit it out.

“This doesn’t taste like lasagna”, said Walter, “it doesn’t even taste like a soft drink.”

“Well, I guess it’s back to the old drawing board”, said Bunsen, “Come on, Walter, I’ve got some gadgets for you to test out.”

“Uh….”, said a nervous Walter, who then looked at the clock, “Oh, it’s time for me to rehearse with the band!”

Walter ran off to find The Electric Mayhem.

The band was on-stage rehearsing.

“Hey, Walter, man”, said Dr. Teeth, “you’re a half-hour early!”

“Well, I just had to rehearse”, said Walter.

“Well, like, the band’s all here”, said Janice, “let’s rehearse.”

“Yeah”, said Zoot.

“Okay”, said Walter, who went to the drum kit, but his drumming skills weren’t very good. Eventually, Walter’s drum sticks slipped out of his hands, one hitting Lips in the back of his head, the other landing in Zoot’s saxophone, making his sax playing sound flat.

“Uh, Zoot”, said Janice, “you’ve got a drum stick in there.”

“Walter, my main man”, said Floyd, “I’m afraid this isn’t going to work out.”

“Oh, well”, said Walter, sadly walking away from the drums, then perking up, “Could you use a whistler?”

“I don’t know”, said Floyd.

“Like, I don’t think whistling is hip enough for rock and roll”, said Janice.

“Well, thanks anyway”, said Walter, walking back to the canteen.

“I’ll play drums for you”, said a deep voice. The band looked behind, and saw Michael Jordan.

“Michael Jordan!”, said the band, simultaneously.

“What are you doing here?”, asked Dr. Teeth.

“I’m the guest star for this week”, said Michael, “And I’d like to play drums in your band.”

“But you’re a basketball player”, said Floyd.

“Well, there’s not much a basketball player can do here as a guest star”, said Michael.

“You can be in Muppet Sports”, said Louis Kazagger.

“I’d rather not”, said Michael.

“Well, Jordan”, said Floyd, “Let’s see what you’ve got.”

“Fer sure!”, said Janice.

Michael Jordan went to the drums and started playing, very well.

“Hmm, he’s good”, said Dr. Teeth.

“He’s better than I thought”, said Floyd.

“You’ve got that right”, said Zoot.

Michael Jordan played up a storm, but then the bottom of the stage collapsed, Jordan falling in.

“Well, it looks like we might need another drummer”, said Dr. Teeth.

“Again?”, said Lips.

“We might also need another guest star”, said Janice.

Bobby Benson walked by.

“Oh, Bobby”, said Dr. Teeth, “Can we borrow the baby drummer in your band?”

“Sure, why not?”, asked Bobby Benson.

Walter walked down into the canteen, where to his surprise, there was smoke everywhere.

“Where’s all this smoke come from?”, coughed Walter.

“You were supposed to watch the stove!”, yelled an angry Gladys.

Beauregard ran around, spraying fire with a fire extinguisher, but accidently shot an extinguisher at Walter.

Several Muppet firemen arrived, shooting the fire with Walter. The canteen was then safe.

“Walter, I don’t think you should be a chef here”, said Gladys.

“I know”, said Walter, sadly, “I’m not good at playing the drums or cooking or assisting…”

“Actually”, said Bunsen, “as a lab assistant you haven’t caused any prob…”

“I’m not good at anything”, interrupted Walter, as sad music began to play, “You know, it’s not easy, being green…”

“But you’re not green!”, said Gladys, “He is!”, pointing to Bunsen.

Walter ran upstairs, crying a bit.

“Hey, wait”, said Beauregard, going after Walter, “you’re supposed to help me with my duties!”

“Now we’re gonna have to get another chef”, said Gladys.

“I’ll-a help-a!”, said Angelo, showing up for a sudden cameo.

“Angelo, I thought we told you to stop doing our cooking!”, said Gladys.

“But you-a need me”, said Angelo.

“We’d be better off with no cook than with you as the cook”, said Gladys.

“Oh, mama mia”, cried Angelo.

 

[minor muppetz]

Act 4

The bus was headed to its destination.

“Well, here we are on Broadway”, said Jason Mulster, “let’s get off here.”

They got out of the bus.

“Now weeerrrr is et?”, asked The Swedish Chef.

“Just five miles that way”, said Jason.

The three looked with confusion, but then they walked. Finally, they got to the alley behind the biggest theater in broadway.

“Here we are”, said Jason, “and look, we’ve already got an audience.”

The audience consisted of a bunch of alley cats, all meowing and purring.

“Mee mee meep mee”, said Beaker.

“I don’t care if it’s not a good idea”, said Jason, “this is the big time. And besides, you’re under contract.”

“Hes got uh punt daure”, said The Swedish Chef.

Jason then shouted outside, “Ladies and gentlemen, here is the newest singing sensation, the musical trio of The Swedish Chef, Beaker, and Animal, with Poker Face!”

Jason ran off, so fast that his wig fell off his head, and the three began to sing.

Then a couple of police officers came.

“Stop! Stop!”, said the first cop, “You three are disturbing the peace!”

“Speaking of pieces”, said the second cop, pointing to Jason’s wig on the ground, “get a look at that hair piece, it’s hideous.”

“Anyway, do you three have a permit?”

“PER-MIT?”, asked Animal.

“Mooyboo he minns Kermit”, said The Swedish Chef.

“I mean a permit to be street performers”, said the first cop.

They all held their heads in shame, not having permits.

“You three are under arrest”, said the first cop, as the two cops arrested them.

Act 5

Back at the Muppet Theater, the show was about to begin. The orchestra was ready, with a baby playing the drums.

“You sure you know what you’re doing?”, asked Floyd.

“Gaga googoo”, said the baby, who beat the drums softly but loud enough.

“Well”, said Rowlf, “he’s no Animal, but he’ll do.”

Backstage…

“Don’t be so hard on yourself”, said Kermit.

“But I failed as a replacement”, said Walter.

“You’ve just got to try and try again”, said Kermit.

“You’re awfully forgiving considering I nearly burnt down the canteen”, said Walter.

“You did WHAT???”, said Kermit.

“You can still help me with the stage work”, said Beauregard, “would you like to raise the curtains?”

“I don’t know”, said Walter.

“Look, Walter”, said Kermit, “if just one person believes in you, deep enough and strong enough believes in you…”

“Long enough and hard enough”, sung Scooter, “It stands to reason you might start to think, if he can do it, you can do it.”

Kermit and Scooter sang together, “making it two whole people who believe in you, deep enough and strong enough believe in you.”

Beauregard joined in, “Before you know it, some other person might believe in making it a threesome..”

Pepe chuckled at the “threesome” line.

“Making it three people you can say believe in you.”

Dr. Teeth came by to sing.

“And if three whole people, why not f…”

Their singing was interrupted by the opening theme music.

“Oh, no”, said Kermit, “I’m missing the intro!”

“Oh, right!”, said Beauregard, running backstage, as others were running to the stage.

“I believe I can do it now”, said Walter.

Kermit came on-stage, “Welcome everyone to The Muppet Show! We’ve got a great show for you tonight, with our very special g…”

Bunsen ran on-stage, interrupting Kermit.

“Hey, I just got a phone call from Beaker”, said Bunsen.

“Not now, Bunsen”, said Kermit.

“But Beaker’s in jail”, said Bunsen.

“In jail?”, said Kermit.

“Hmm”, observed Floyd from in the orchestra, “I wonder if Animal’s okay.”

Dr. Teeth then ran on-stage.

“I got a call from Animal”, said Dr. Teeth, “He’s…”

“I know, in jail”, said Kermit, “The chef’s probably in jail, too.”

“We’ve got to get them out”, said Dr. Teeth.

The three came off the stage. Kermit came back.

“Enjoy our opening number as I figure out how to handle this crisis!”

“Like, what do we do?”, said Janice.

“I need to find a replacement host”, said Kermit.

“I’ll do it”, said Walter.

“But just a moment ago you weren’t sure of yourself”, said Kermit.

“But just one person believes in me”, said Walter.

“Just one?”, said Fozzie.

“Yes, I believe in me”, said Walter, “And you can count on me!”

“I just hope The Count doesn’t hear that”, said Kermit.

Floyd, Zoot, and Rowlf then came backstage.

“We heard what happened”, said Rowlf.

“We’ve got to get them out”, said Floyd.

“You two do it”, said Rowlf, “I’ll stay in the orchestra.”

Gladys showed up.

“I just got a phone call, bad news…”

“I know”, said Kermit, “The Swedish Chef is in jail”.

“Really?”, said Gladys, “My phone call was from my stock broker. Microsoft went down ten points.”

“Well, let’s get going”, said Fozzie.

“Right”, said Kermit.

“What should we do about the orchestra?”, asked Rowlf.

Lubbock Lou and his jughuggers showed up.

“I think we can fill the empty musician spots”, said Slim Wilson.

“Good”, said Kermit, “Now let’s go!”

On-stage…

“I’m Walter”, said Walter, “Kermit the Frog has let me take over hosting duties for tonight. So, uh….” Walter thought about what he should do, then looked down at the orchestra, seeing Slim Wilson, Zeke, Gramps, and Lubbock Lou enter the orchestra, “Here is the Muppet Orchestra, tonight featuring the jugband!”

The orchestra started playing, with a comical mix of classical and country. Lubbock Lou played the piano.

Then Rowlf showed up.

“Psst”, whispered Rowlf, “I didn’t leave with the others. I’m still here.”

Lubbock Lou just gave a confused look and then continued playing.

Kermit, Fozzie, Bunsen, Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Janice, and Zoot all made it to the police station as soon as they could.

“You know you didn’t have to come with us, Fozzie”, said Kermit.

“I know”, said Fozzie, “But it’s not like I had an act for tonight.”

Kermit gave a guilty look on his face.

“I can’t believe I forgot to bring my Muppet Labs Bar-Melting Spray”, said Bunsen.

“It’s probably best that you did forget”, said Kermit.

“Hey”, said Janice, “I rully think we, like, forgot about Lips.”

“No, you’re lips are here”, said Floyd.

They went to the front desk.

“Excuse me”, said Kermit, “I’m Kermit the Frog, and we’re here because our friends were arrested.”

“Well it looks like you have enough friends”, said the desk clerk.

“Hmm”, thought Fozzie, “he’s got a point.”

“Well, three of my friends were arrested for performing in an alley without a license”, said Kermit.

“”I know who you’re talking about”, said the clerk, “those weirdos I can’t understand.”

“Are you talking about the Jonas brothers or those Muppets?”, asked a fellow cop.

“I think they’re Muppets”, said the clerk.

“They claimed that their agent booked them in an alley”, said the cop, but we haven’t seen any trace of him.

“They were booked by a guy named Jason Mulster”, said Bunsen.

This caught the attention of another cop.

“Jason Mulster?”, said the other cop, “he’s not a real agent. He just likes to pretend to be an agent and get the hopes up of up-and-coming singers and then trick them into getting arrested.”

“How do you know all this?”, said the first cop.

“Because I’m one of his henchmen”, said the other cop, “I only took a job as a cop to keep Mr. Mulster out of jail.”

“Well, now you’re going to jail”, said the first cop, arresting him.

“Me and my big mouth”, said the other cop.

In the jail cell, Beaker, The Swedish Chef, and Animal were surrounded by many frightening inmates.

“Hey!”, said one inmate to Beaker, holding up a knife, “would you like a haircut?”

Beaker nervously shook his head.

“Seems nobody does”, said the inmate, “if they did I wouldn’t have gotten arrested in the first place.”

“Hey, you, with the chef’s hat on”, said another inmate, “can you make me some food?”

“Ohh, derr huy fleurt gertker de floot”, said The Swedish Chef.

“I can’t understand a word you’re saying”, said the inmate, “I’m gonna take your hat!”

The inmate snatched The Swedish Chef’s hat from his head.

“Oh no!”, cried the Swedish Chef, “dey see me wuthot hatone!”

Animal then bit the inmate, who dropped the chef’s hat. The Swedish Chef picked it up.

“Man, you three are crazy”, said another inmate, “Guard, can I have another cell?”

“We learned our lessons!”, said another inmate.

Kermit, Bunsen, Floyd, and a guard then walked in.

“Okay, you singing weirdos, you’re free to go”, said the guard.

“You already freed the Jonas brothers”, said an inmate.

“I mean the other singing weirdos”, said the guard.

All the inmates then started singing like weirdos as Animal, Beaker, and The Swedish Chef were let out.

“FREE-DOM! FREE-DOM!”, yelled Animal.

“Mee mee meep”, said Beaker.

“Yes, it’s good to see you, too”, said Bunsen.

“Let’s go back to the theater!”, said Floyd.

Back at the theater, Animal, Beaker, and The Swedish Chef were all singing a rendition of “High, Middle, Low”, with Beaker singing the high parts, The Swedish Chef singing the low parts, and Animal singing the middle parts. The audience applauded.

Backstage…

“You all were great!”, said Walter.

“Mee meep”, said Beaker.

“Too bad you three are giving up your singing”, said Walter.

“Ferr now”, said The Swedish Chef.

“Yeah, I think they’re content to go back to just doing what they do best”, said Bunsen.

“Mee might!”, said Beaker.

“Walter, I heard about what a great job you did last week”, said Kermit.

“Oh, thank you”, said Walter.

The Jugband ran up.

“Does that mean we can continue playing in the orchestra?”, asked Lubbock Lou.

“No, no it doesn’t”, said Rowlf.

“Hey, I just heard on the news that Jason Mulster just got arrested for fraud”, said Scooter.

Beaker, Animal, and The Swedish Chef all cheered.

“Well, it looks like it’s a happy ending!”, said Walter.

“A happy ending!”, said Kermit.

“A HAPP-EE END-DING!”, said Animal.

Cut to the balcony, where Statler and Waldorf were both hanging by their hands from the balcony.

“Help!”, shouted Statler.

“This is not a happy ending!”, cried Waldorf.

The End

[minor muppetz]

Although nobody asked, in my mind, Jason Mulster would be played by a human actor if this was an actual production. I imagine either Danny DeVito or Jason Alexander in the role.

After I decided on having one of Bobby Benson's babies replace Animal as the Electric Mayhem's drummer, I had briefly considered changing my mind and having Marvin Suggs become a replacement drummer. The band could have told him to imagine that the drums and the cymbols were muppaphones.

I also considered having Animal attack the baby drummer after coming back, maybe by biting it or throwing it across the room or hitting it with drum sticks.

I don't like Justin Bieber at all, but with Animal, Beaker, and Swedish Chef as a singing trio, I just had to have him on there to comment that they are better singers, as well as having other characters treat him with a bit of cruelty (though I didn't have Justin Bieber react to the cruel happenings), such as having Jason Mulster interrupt his act and Statler and Waldorf leaving upon learning that he was the guest (I should have had them refer to him as being worse than Manny Kaye and Clive Chuenga). But I did consider more cruel ways for the other characters to have treated him, not sure if I should mention the ways.

When I started these threads I had wanted the episodes to be done in three "acts", but it looks like they won't be having any consistient act numbers. This particular one lasted five acts, as I had plenty of ideas. And it seems like it's the most musical so far (though most of the musical numbers were just listed in a semi-outline fashion... I wonder if the writers actually dialogue-scripted the "Danny Boy" segment or the viral videos with the three singing).
