Bunsen and Beaker's Rocket Adventure

[minor muppetz]

Chapter 1

"Welcome, dear readers", said Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, talking to us, "we at Muppet Labs are hard at work perfecting a new rocket ship."

"Mee mee mee", said Beaker.

"I know, Beaker", said Bunsen, "Anyway, we've gotten many distinguished scientists working on our new rocket, such as Dr. Julius Strangepork, Dr. Phil van Neuter, and Dr. Nobel Price."

"Hey, Dr. Honeydew", said Dr. Nobel Price, "I've just come up with the perfect invention to help your rocket blast off into space!"

"Oh, that's wonderful, Dr. Price", said Bunsen.

"I call it Blast-Off Juice!", said Dr. Nobel Price, "just put it in the rocket, and when it needs a lift, it'll go off into space!"

Mulch started to drink a beaker of Blast-Off juice.

"No, Mulch!", said Dr. Van Neuter, "You don't drink that stuff!"

"Rawrrrrr", said Mulch.

Beaker took a sniff and then said, "Mee mee mee!"

"You're right, Beaker", inspected Bunsen, "Dr. Price, this stuff has already been invented."

"It has?", said Dr. Price.

"Yes, I believe it is called gasoline."

"I'd call it rocket fuel", said Dr. Strangepork.

"They're pretty much the same thing", said Bunsen.

Dr. Nobel Price started to cry over the fact that his "invention" had already existed.

A loud hammering was heard. It was Biff and Sully, hammering parts of the rocket.

"Just hammer a little hawder, Sully!", said Biff.

"We don't just have scientists working on this rocket", said Bunsen, "But also construction workers!"

"We're almost finished", said Biff, "Right, Sully?"

As Biff turned his head away, Sully shook his head, and was about to talk when Biff interrupted.

"I never thought I'd be woiking on a real rocket ship!", said Biff, "this reminds me of when I was a kid and I carved a wooden rocket for shop class."

"And don't forget about the space crew!", said Dr. Strangepork.

"Oh, that's right", said Bunsen, "in addition to being a scientist, Dr. Strangepork here is going on the trip with me and Beaker."

"So will Link Hogthrob and Miss Piggy", said Strangepork.

"But I won't be traveling to space", said Dr. Van Neuter, "I will be working on a much more powerful rocket!"

"We've also got robots working the controls", said Bunsen.

"Everything's ready to the max!", said '80s Robot.

"Yeah, I think I got all the controls working", said Digit.

"Well then let's get ready", said Bunsen.

Soon, it was time for take-off. Bunsen, Beaker, Dr. Strangepork, Link, and Miss Piggy were all inside the rocket.

Professor Hastings was in the countdown booth.

"Time for the countdown", said Professor Hastings, "I will count down from ten. Ten is the number that comes after nine. Nine is the number that comes after eight... Eight is... the number.. that comes after... seven....."

Professor Hastings then fell asleep.

"Oh no", said '80s Robot, "Totally gnarly!"

"I'll do the countdown and the blasting", said Digit, "ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, blastoff!"

Digit hit the blast button... Except instead of causing a blast, a note of piano music played.

"Mee mee mee mee", said Beaker.

"Oh, it's probably some sort of technical difficulty", said Strangepork.

"I bet Link here programmed it", said Miss Piggy.

"If I did", said Link, "don't you think it would have blasted off?"

Digit kept hitting the button, only for it to make piano music each time.

"I wonder if we connected the wires to the wrong things", said Digit.

Meanwhile, nearby, Rowlf was about to play the piano.

"I guess I should practice for tonight's show", said Rowlf.

Rowlf hit a button... And it caused the rocket to blast off.

"Well, we have some success!", said Bunsen.

"But why'd it have to happen when I was about to read my autobiography?", asked Link.

"You mean you can actually read?", said Miss Piggy.

Chapter 2

"Well, that vas an exciting blastoff", said Dr. Strangepork.

"Now I'm hungry", said Link.

"But we all had a big meal before take-off", said Bunsen.

"Mee mee mee", agreed Beaker.

"Well I'm still hungry", said Link.

"We are approaching: Mars, Venus, and The Moon", said a computer voice on the control panel.

"That can't be right", said Bunsen, "we just got off the Earth. According to my sources, those planets are all a lot farther away."

"Maybe zee rocket fuel was very powerful", said Dr. Strangepork.

"Or maybe Link built the rocket", said Miss Piggy.

"Beaker, I want you to inspect the control panels", said Bunsen, "go get the tools."

Beaker sighed and walked away.

"Why did Moi agree to this journey?", said Miss Piggy.

"Oh, we at Muppet Labs thought that the public would appreciate seeing the cast of Pigs in Space go on a real-live space mission", said Bunsen.

"Well I certainly appreciate it!", said Link, "I don't think the cast of Star Trek has gone into space."

"I don't think you think at all", said Miss Piggy.

Beaker came back, meeping uncontrollably.

"What's wrong, Beaker?", said Bunsen.

Beaker continued to meep uncontrollably.

"Can you slow down?", said Bunsen.

Beaker slowed down with his talking.

"You can't find the tools?", said Bunsen.

"Vell, I guess you'll have to use your hands", said Strangepork.

"No!", yelled Beaker, who promptly lowered his head into his body.

Kermit contacted them over the speaker.

"Hey, Kermit here, how is everything?"

"Oh, it's mostly fine", said Bunsen, "except we can't find the tools to the control system."

"Is something wrong?", asked Kermit.

"Yeah, Link is with us", said Miss Piggy.

"Uh, nothing is wrong", said Bunsen, "except that the rocket's GPS is telling us that planets are closer than they appear."

"Oh", said Fozzie, "you're not using a GPS, you're using a mirror!"

Nobody laughed.

"Well, I thought you all needed some entertainment for your trip", said Kermit, "so..."

"So I've gone some rocket-powered material!", said Fozzie, "Ahhh! rocket powered! Wocka wocka!"

"Actually, Fozzie, I got Johnny Fiama to come to sing."

"Outta the way!", said Sal, picking up and then throwing Kermit to the wall - Fozzie then ran away fast - "Make room for Johnny Fiama!"

"Okay, it's time for me to sing", said Johnny.

"Sing? Sing a song?", said Sal.

"Sing out loud", said Johnny.

"Sing out strong!", said Fozzie.

They gave Fozzie a bad stare.

Johnny Fiamma then started to sing "Rocketman".

Digit then showed up with a tool box.

"Oh, Kermit, I've got bad news."

"What is it?", asked Kermit.

"They left their tool box on the rocket", said Digit.

"Oh no", said Kermit.

"What if they have a problem?", said Digit.

"They already do have a problem", said Kermit, "their GPS doesn't work right."

Then they heard a big explosion over the speakers.

"Sal! Ask if everything is alright!", asked Kermit.

"Is everything alright?", said Sal to Johnny.

"Yes", said Johnny, "I've never sung better."

Kermit ran to the control panel.

"I meant ask the crew", said Kermit, who then took to the microphone, "Is everything alright?"

"We had an explosion, Kermie", said Miss Piggy.

"Most of the control panels have exploded", said Bunsen.

"And we're all out of pizza", said Link.

Chapter 3

"Can't we search and see if there are any spare tools in this rocket?", asked Miss Piggy.

"Actually I've got an idea", said Link, "I think I saw on McGuyver a way to fix things without tools."

"Vell, knowing would be helpful", said Dr. Strangepork.

"I saw that we need glue and a clothes hanger and a belt. And I've got the glue."

"Moi had plenty of clothes hangers"

"And I have a belt", said Bunsen, "it's tied around the oxygen tanks."

They got their supplies.

"Okay, Beakie, fix the machines!"

Beaker sighed then gave a "yes si"-sounding meep before fixing.

"Yes, I saw it on good-old McGuyver", said Link, "or was that Red Green?"

"If it ver Red Green he'd need duct tape, not glue", said Strangepork.

"Then maybe I'm wrong!", realized Link.

"Maybe?", questioned Miss Piggy.

And then the rocket blasted faster, out of control.

Everyone screamed.

"What's wrong now?", asked Kermit.

Crazy Harry then walked into the room.

"So, how's the rocket mission", laughed Crazy Harry.

"Terrible!", said Kermit, "everything bl... err, the controls are out-of-control."

"I helped with the control panels", said Crazy Harry.

"Well that explains it", said Kermit, scrunching his face.

The rocket then crash-landed on a planet.

"Well, we've landed somewhere", said Bunsen.

"I hope it's earth", said Miss Piggy.

They got out, and just happened to see a sign saying where they were: The Planet Koozebane.

"Oh, wow", said Dr. Strangepork, "it's so different from how the sets on The Muppet Show depict it."

"Well, Beaker and I are going to go find some help", said Bunsen.

"Mee mee mee mo mee meep mo", said Beaker.

"No, Beaker, they're supposed to stay inside the rocket."

"But why can't we help?", asked Dr. Strangepork.

"Yeah", said Piggy, "we're supposed to be the ones on a space mission."

"But the title refers to only me and Beaker", said Bunsen, "some of this story has to involve just us."

 

[minor muppetz]

Chapter 4

Bunsen and Beaker went exploring on Koozebane.

"It looks so deserted out here, Beaker", said Bunsen, "I wonder if we'll find any alien life here."

As he was saying this, a herd of Koozebanians were running around behind them, out of view.

"Mee mee mee", said Beaker.

"No, Beaker, I don't think we'll find any Red Bull out here."

They continued looking around, looking in the wrong directions when a Phoob chased another Phoob, when another Phoob drank a Spooble, and when various baby koozebanians played leap frog.

"I hope we can find some help soon"

"Mee mee"

As they walked further, a Snuffleupagus-like alien skipped behind them, his skipping causing the planet to bump and for Bunsen and Beaker to be bounched off the ground.

"Must be an earthquake."

"Mee mee mee"

They saw a telescope.

"They actually have a telescope on Koozebane!"

"Mee mee mee."

"Oh, yes, good idea. I will use it!"

Bunsen looked at the telescope.

"Mee mee mee mee? Mee mee mee mee?"

"OH, I see another planet! Looks like the planet Gorch!"

Through Bunsen's view, King Ploobis and Scred were talking to The Mighty Favog.

"We need help, Favog", said Ploobis, "we need to write a fan fic about The Blues Brothers meeting The Coneheads, but we don't know where ti start!"

"We wanted them to go to Koozebane", said Scred, "but some jerk who's a fan of minor Muppets beat us to that idea!"

"Are we at least in it?", asked The Mighty Favog.

Bunsen and Beaker went away from the telescope.

"Well hopefully we'll find somebody."

Then, the Sesame Street Martians appeared.

"Yip yip yip yip yip!


"Uh-huh! Uh-huh!"

"Oh good", said Bunsen, "maybe they can help us."

Beaker decided to ask them.

"Mee mee, mee mee mee mee meep, mee mee meem mee meep?"

"Mee?", asked one Martian.

The two Martians then started meeping a bit, in their usual "yip yip" tone."

"Well, will you help us or not?"

"Help?", said one Martian.

"Can't", said the other, "nuh-uh-uh-uh!"

The two then vanished.

"Well, too bad", said Bunsen.

They then heard music. They turned around, and saw the Fazoobs, accompanied by The Extremes, singing a song about Koozebane.

After the song, Bunsen approached them.

"Excuse me", said Bunsen, "but our rocket has crashed up here, and we need help getting back to Earth!"

"Oh", said the lead singer, "Follow us and we'll take you to the right person to repair your rocket!"

Meanwhile, back at the rocket....

"I wonder if anything has happened to them", said Link.

"I'm going to find help on my own!", said Miss Piggy.

"Don't!", said Dr. Strangepork, "Dr. Honeydew gave us specific instructions to..."

"I don't care what Dr. Honeydew said!", said Miss Piggy.

But then the rocket got sucked up by a large vacume-shaped alien.

"Yummy!", said the alien.

"You're right, Piggy", said Dr. Strangepork, "We should have went for help."

Chapter 5

Back on earth...

"I hope they're all okay", said Kermit.

"Could we get another rocket ship?", asked Scooter.

"We don't have the money for another rocket", said Kermit.

"I can't believe you had the money for the first one", said Rowlf.

"If they never make it back", said Dr. Phil van Neuter, "can I take over Muppet Labs?"

Meanwhile, on the planet Koozebane...

"Well, here we are", said the lead-singing Extreme, "This is Bazoop."

"Hello, Bazoop", said Bunsen.

"Mee mee mi", said Beaker.

"Wazzuuuuppppp!", yelled Bazoop, a large, weird-looking Koozebanian creature.

"We crash-landed here, and were told you can fix our rocket", said Bunsen.

"Of coise I can!", said Bazoop, "Wazzup, yo quiero taco bell???"

"Mee mee meep mee meep mee", said Beaker.

"Okay, I'll fallow you to the site of the rocket crush!", said Bazoop.

Bazoop then followed Bunsen and Beaker.

"Wuzz you want is wuzz you get at Burger King tahday!", sung Bazoop.

"I don't think that's how it goes", said Bunsen.

Beaker shook his head in agreement.

"Well gimmie a break, gimmie a break...."

"We'll give you a brake", said Bunsen, "it broke off our rocket."

Bazoop continued his singing..

"Break me off a pizza that Klondike Bar!"

Beaker muttered in annoyance.

"Where's the beef? Help, I've fallen and I can't get up! You are the weakest link!"

"Actually", said Bunsen, "I'm Bunsen, not Link. But he's at the rocket ship. And I don't think he's very weak."

They got to where the rocket crashed, and found it missing.

"Well, the rocket was here", said Bunsen, "but it's missing."

"Mee mee mee", said Beaker.

"No, there sure ain't no quicksand around these parts", said Bazoop, "Bazinga!"

"There are footprints", said Bunsen, "let's follow them..."

"on Twitter?", asked Bazoop.

"No, let's follow the footprints to find who did it", said Bunsen.

"Mee mee m..."

"Not now, Beaker", interrupted Bunsen, "we've got prints to follow!"

They followed the trail of footprints.... and it brought them back to where they were.

"Well, something odd happened", said Bunsen, "we're back where we started. And not only that, but these prints have also taken us back everywhere that we've been to previously on this planet."

"Mee mee mee mee mee", said Beaker.

"What do you mean you tried to tell me that these are our footprints from when we left the first time?"

"Hey, yo, look!", shouted Bazoop, pointing, "there's some more foot prints! They don't look like ours."

"Maybe we should foll...."

"And over there!", interrupted Bazoop, "there's another different set of foot prints! And another over there! This really is a popular place for footprints!"

"Maybe we should find the others and see what they know", said Bunsen.

"What'choo tawking about, Willis?", said Bazoop, "I kid! I kid! Did I do that? Aaaaayyyyyy!"

 

[minor muppetz]

Chapter 6

"I think we should all split up and find the rocket and the pigs", said Bunsen.

"Mee mee mee mee", said Beaker.

"Oh, that's right", said Bunsen, "Bazoop here doesn't know what they look like."

Bazoop started loudly singing, "When you wish upon a STAR, you can fly part of your world like Gaston!"

But then the large vacuum-like alien who had sucked in the rocket and pigs showed up.

"Hey, what up, despicable doc?", said Bazoop, "everybody, this is my butler, Vaco."

"Hi, Vaco", said Bunsen.

"Meep", said Beaker.

"Say, Vaco", said Bazoop, "these visitors from Earth here have a broken rocket and crew who have disappeared from this site. Let's get dangerous and help, eh?"

"Wuz it the rocket that was here?", asked Vaco.

"Yes, it was", said Bunsen.

Beaker meeped in agreement.

"I ate it", said Vaco.

"WHAT!?", said Bunsen, Beaker, and Bazoop in unison.

"I was hungry and it looked tasty", said Vaco.

"Looks like we need to make you sick", said Bazoop, "but I gotta bad feeling about dis!"

So they went to a first aid station...

"Okay, Vaco, sniff this", said Bazoop.

Vaco sniffed it... And it caused him to sneeze out the rocket and Pigs in Space crew.

"Wow, that was disgusting", said Miss Piggy.

"The food inside there was even more disgusting", said Link.

"I can't believe you actually ate after him", said Strangepork.

"Wullm I gosh now I'll fix it", said Bazoop, who ran up and quickly repaired the rocket.

"Wow, it's back to how it should be", said Bunsen.

"Mee mee mee mee mee mee", said Beaker.

"Yes, I agree", said Bunsen.

"I don't know why you'd want to leave Koozebane", said Vaco.

"Well, go bye-bye, folks!", said Bazoop, "P-A-R-T-Y??? Because I gotta!"

They all got inside the rocket.

"Let's get it started!", said Bunsen.

"Why don't ya get it started?", yelled Bazoop from outside.

Bunsen turned on the power... Only it wouldn't lift off.

"For some reason this rocket won't leave", said Bunsen.

"I can see that it's all out of gas", said Dr. Strangepork.

"You mean we're marooned here forever?", asked Piggy.

A door opened.

"Hey, I know a good way to get you outta here!", said Bazoop, "everybody stay in!"

Bazoop slammed the door, then told Vaco, "Suck it in!"

Vaco sucked in the rocket.

"Not again", moaned Miss Piggy.

"Mee mee?", said Beaker.

Bazoop brought an entire barrell of the stuff that made Vaco sneeze earlier, "Now inhale this whole barrell!

Vaco did... and the barrell went up his nose, exploding when it got there (some powder coming out his nose). Vaco began to have to sneeze.

"Now face your head towards Earth!"

Vaco did, and let out a really big sneeze, sneezing out the rocket again.

The crew screamed as they were sneezed to Earth.

Back at the rocket station...

"Okay, Mr. Gross", said Kermit, "I'll sign over my swamp in order to get funding for a second rocket to search for them."

"Good, good", said J.P. Gross, "Sign here."

But then the rocket crashed through the roof. Everyone came out.

"You're back and alive!", said Kermit, "now I don't have to sign this lease!"

"Oh, darn it", said J.P., "I thought the rich were supposed to have happy endings."

"Technically this plotline just started", said Kermit.

"Mee mee mee mee", said Beaker.

"What did he say?", asked J.P.

"Beaker says that now this story is finished", said Bunsen.

"Good!", said Statler and Waldorf in unison.
