Chapter 11: Believe
Kermit placed his cell phone on the table, an extra hop was in his step as he walked towards his closet. Turning around he noticed Robin standing in in the doorway, an icepack was placed over his left eye.
"Robin?!" Kermit exclaimed. Rushing over to his nephew, Kermit gently removed the ice pack from Robin's eye. As he did so, both uncle and nephew winced. Robin's eye was swollen shut completely and was oozing a liquid best not described.
"Robin, What happened to you?" Kermit's voiec was stricken with worry. He had never thought of Robin to be the kind of frogling to pick fights.
"It was all Bobby's fault!" Robin explained.
"The boy down the street?" Kermit asked. Frowning, he placed a patch with disinfectant on the oozing eye. Robin yelped as the disinfectant cleaned out his wound. Nodding yes to Kermit's question, he continued his story.
"Bobby and I were talkin' about Christmas and I asked him what he wanted Santa to bring him." Robin's voice started to tremble. "He looked at me funny and told me Santa wasn't real!" Robin started to yell, venting his frustration in the only way he knew how. "So I-I pushed him and told him to not mess around. He started to call me names and said I was being childish, he pushed me back harder and laughed. I couldn't take it anymore so I punched him, he fell down and dragged me down too." Great big tears started to fall down Robin's face. "We started to fight and he punched me in the eye. I pulled him off me and walked away." Robin finished. Kermit pulled his only nephew close and hugged him tightly.
"Uncle Kermit?" Robin's voice reached Kermit's aural organ's. Looking down at Robin's young face, Kermit smiled warmly.
"Do you believe in Santa Claus? I mean, he is real, isn't he?" Robin's voice sounded so heartbreakingly hopeful, Kermit didn't know what to do. He stared at anything but Robin's hopeful face, speechless. Finally facing the inevitable, Kermit turned to his young nephew and answered his question with another question.
"Do you believe in Santa?" He asked firmly, looking directly into Robin's eyes, er, eye. Robin sat for moment, thinking deeply. Looking back at his uncle, he smiled and nodded.
"Then it doesn't matter what I think, or even the rest of the world! What matters is what you believe in." Kermit's frin matched his nephew's. "And don't ever let anyone tell you different." Robin hugged his uncle even harder.
"Thanks, Uncle Kermit." Robin's voice was muffled a little as he spoke.
"But," Kermit frowned a little. "That doesn't mean you can go around punching people when they disagree." Robin smiled a little sheepishly as this was said.
"Now hop off." kermit set his nephew on the floor. "I've got to get ready for a date." Grinning, Robin scampered to his room.

Standing outside Piggy's house with a bouquet of roses, Kermit rang the doorbell. He immediately sensed something was wrong when there was no answer. Carefully opening the door, he walked in.
"Piggy?" Kermit called into the seemingly empty house. Soft sobbing could be heard upstairs. Rushing to Piggy's room, Kermit found Piggy sitting on the bed crying. All around her were shredded papers, magazines, and photos. Picking up a magazine, Kermit skimmed through half of a page. Burning with rage, it slipped from his fingers unoticed. Keeping a calm expression, Kermit walked over to where Piggy sat. Placing a slim green hand on her shoulder, he pulled her close. Suddenly, Piggy's hand reached out and flipped him head over flippers onto the ground.
"Don't touch me you thei- Kermie? Kermit! Oh, moi is so sorry!" She started to dust a thoroughly shaken Kermit off.
"Piggy? Are you okay?" Kermit's voice wavered as his earlier shock wore off.
"Um. Moi is fine! Perfect. I just got busy and didn't notice the time!" kermit looked at the scattered papers around the room. Piggy also noticed and started to lead Kermit to the door.
"Sorry the room's a mess, the cleaning lady is late today!" Piggy's chirpy voice was false, and both knew it. Digging his heels into the carpet, Kermit turned to face Piggy.
"You are not okay." Kermit emphasized the not part. Piggy's eyes began to fill tears but she quickly wiped them away.
"Moi doesn't know what vous is talking about!" she sniffed turning away. Kermit walked around to face her, only to have Piggy look away.
"Piggy." kermit breathed, lifting her chin to face him.
"Oh, Kermit." She cried, digging her face into his shirt. Rubbing her back he guided her to the bed.
"You know I love you, right?" he murmerd into her neck. Piggy barely nodded.
"And you love me?" he prodded, slightly smiling. Piggy looked up and smiled a little as well.
"Would moi be marrying you if she did not?" She quipped teasingly.
"Then to hey with the rest of the world." Kermit said ferociously. Piggy giggled and lied back on the bed. Kermit watched her appreciatively.
"Are you seducing me, Miss Piggy." Kermit asked teasingly.
"Is it working, Mon Capitan?" she asked lightly. Shaking his head, Kermit started to answer, only to be interrupted by a throng of voices singing carols. Looking out the window, Kermit chuckled and motioned Piggy over. Outside on the porch, all of the Muppets were singing Christmas carols. Opening the front door, both Piggy and Kermit were met with singing voices....
