:smile: This was requested by LeahXZoot4Ever, and it's only the prolouge for now, but I'm working on Ch. 1. Enjoy what I have so far. xD



Leah and Zoot Forever
Prolouge
 
 
 
 
"... Use it if you need it!"
"Don't forget to feed it!"
"Can you Picture That?"
Dr. Teeth and the band just finished yet another act onstage. As they walked offstage, Kermit was there to deliver some good news. "Great job you guys! Everyone did so good this week, that tomorrow, we're all going out to eat. Don't forget to be there, okay?" Kermit smiled.
"Hey, wouldn't miss it for the world green stuff! Especially with food envolved." Floyd chuckled.
"FOOD! FOOD!" Animal yelled.
"Oh like, is it that organic place down the street? They have rully good salads there!" Janice beamed.
"No, we're goin' to Jhonny's pasta place." Kermit said.
"Well alright!" Shouted Dr. Teeth.
The band went outside, so they could get on the bus, and head back home. As Teeth took the wheel, everyone else took their place at their instrument. The whole way home, they sang, "Night Life." When they finally arrived, Animal ran loose. That gave Floyd a few hours of exercise. And Janice went to practice her guitar on the roof. So she was also taking up a lot of time. Dr. Teeth was debating with Rowlf about the piano... Again. So that took about... Well... Let's just say hours. That left Zoot all alone in the band's room. He was tired of being alone. The band always had something to do. Excluding him. I mean, Animal will always run off. And Janice will always want more guitar practice. And Dr. Teeth will always argue with Rowlf about the piano. And that was fine. Zoot just wished he wasn't always alone.
"Oh well..." Zoot mumbled. He climbed on the top bunk of the bed, tipped his hat on his face, and did what he always did.
Took a nap.

Ok, here it is, CHAPTER ONE!!!



Chapter One- Teeth's Ex, Zoot's crush
 
 
 
 
Morning Came, and Zoot got out of bed. He felt dizzy when he woke up. "Hey man, are you feelin' ok?" Floyd asked. Zoot nodded, as he rubbed his eyes.
"Well, like, let's get ready for dinner." Janice said.
"Dinner?"
"Like, yeah. Look at the time!" Janice pointed at the clock. The clock read, 5:46. Zoot stared at the time. He usually wakes up late, but not THAT late.
"Man, we must have had one groovy party last night to wake up this late!" Dr. Teeth chuckled.
The gang immediately got ready, finally realizing they've no time to waste. They all wore something nice. Kermit always took them to nice places. Guess what? They all wore tuxes.
...
Yes, even Janice. -__-
Anyway, as the gang got ready, they met the other Muppets outside by the bus. Zoot moped everywhere he walked. Hearing that there was a party without him made him feel rather lonely, and left out. Sure, Zoot was only the sax player. And he was quiet. And shy. But just because he was shy, no one bothered to ask what he wanted. What he wanted, was to have just ONE person who cared about his feelings. But I guess that wasn't happening anytime soon.
Zoot loaded himself onto the bus, and stood near his instrument like the rest of the band did with their instruments. However, instead of playing some groovy tunes, Zoot played the deep blues.
"Zoot, my man, that tune is bringin' me down. What is the matter?" Floyd asked.
Zoot knew why he felt so down, he just didn't speak. He simply shrugged, and ceased playing his instrument.
 
When they finally arrived, they all got off the bus, and made their way inside the restuarant. Zoot trailed behind everyone else. He just wasn't feelin' it today. As all the Muppets took their seats, he ran into a waitress, who was carrying some sort of pasta. The waitress spilled the pasta all over Zoot.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to-"
Then their eyes met.
The waitress observed Zoot. Soft Blue skin, nice blue hair, cool shades, why, his whole face was quite attractive. And according to Zoot, the waitress wasn't half bad either.
"Uh... I'm so sorry about that..." The waitress apologized.
Zoot smiled. "It's alright. It adds flair to my outfit."
The waitress giggled, and then paused.
"You look familiar... You're in a band right?"
Zoot nodded. "Yeah. The Electric Mayhem."
"Oh! I'm Dr. Teeth's ex girlfriend. I'm Leah."
Zoot shook her hand. "I'm Zoot. I play sax."
Leah smiled at him when he ibreviated saxaphone. It was rather cute of him to do. Zoot escorted Leah to the band's table, and immediately, Dr. Teeth recognized her.
"Leah? Wow, long time no see. How you been holdin' up?"
Leah shrugged. "Ok, I guess. I've been practicing instuments and singing and stuff. I'm looking for a job for that."
Dr. Teeth raised an eyebrow. "You sing now?"
Mm-Hm, was the response given. The band WAS looking for a lead singer. "Mind if we hear you sing? On stage?" Teeth was refering to the little, empty stage next to their table.
Leah nodded. She was too used to preforming in front of people. While walking up onstage, she realized she'd need some musical assistance, as well as vocal assistance.
"Uh, Teeth, I need some backup singers, and someone to play the piano!" Leah yelled from the stage.
Jaz hopped up, and Fozzie stopped her.
"Jaz, you know you have stage fright." Fozzie cautioned.
"I do NOT! I've sung in front of people before!" Jaz continued to walk onstage, and Fozzie followed.
Rowlf also made his way onstage to play the piano.
"Oh, and Animal, we need you on drums."
Animal knew that was his cue.
"Ok, ready?" Leah asked.
"Jaz is ready!"
"Uh, so is Fozzie?"
"DRUMS! DRUMS!"
"Yeah, I'm ready."
"1... 2... 3..."
Animal began to play the drums.
 
Jaz & Fozzie: Oooh ooh, oooh ooh, oooh ooh, oooh ooh...
 
Leah: She, she ain't real. She ain't going to be able to love you like I will. She, is a stanger. You and I have history, or don't you remember? Sure, she's got it all, but baby is that really what you want?
 
(Something goes here) You got your head in the clouds, she made a fool outta you, and boy she's bringing you down. She made your heart melt, but you're cold to the core, but rumour has it she ain't got your love anymore.
 
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Ooh
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Ooh
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Ooh
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Ooh
Fozzie: Rumour has it

Jaz: Rumour

Leah: She, is half your age, but I'm guessing that's the reason that you strayed. I heard, you've been missin' me, you've been tellin' people things you shouldn't be. Like when we creep out, and she ain't around, haven't you heard...
All: The Rumour?
 
(Something goes here) You got your head in the clouds, you made a fool outta me, and boy you're bringing me down. You made my heart melt, but I'm cold to the core, but rumour has it I'm the one you're leaving her for.
 
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Ooh
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Ooh
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Ooh
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Ooh
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Rumour
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Rumour
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Rumour
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Rumour
 
Animal stopped playing the drums, and Rowlf started to play the piano.
 
Leah: All of these words, whispered in my ear, tell a story that I cannot bear to here. Just 'cause I said it, it don't mean that I meant it. People say crazy things. Just 'cause I said it, don't mean that I meant it, just 'cause you heard it...
 
Animal joins back in.
 
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Ooh
Fozzie: Rumour has it
Jaz: Ooh

Leah: But rumour has he's the one I'm leaving you for...
 
The applause began. Leah, and the rest took a bow... And then Jaz fainted. "See? I told you." Fozzie dragged Jaz offstage, and everyone else walked off.
"Wow, Leah that was groovy!" Floyd exclaimed.
"Like, wow. Dr. Teeth, she's rully good, you have to let her be the lead singer!" Janice smiled.
Dr. Teeth nodded. "Alright Leah, you can move in with us."
Leah and Zoot exchanged smiles.
For them, life was definetly going to be more interesting.

And for lateness, chapter two!



Chapter Two- Hangin' with Leah
 
 
 
 
Leah was just about finished unloading her things into the band's room. It took her a few hours, but she finally got everything put away. Now it was time to blow off some steam.
Leah picked up her purse, and started to head out the door, where, again, she ran into Zoot. She knocked him down, and landed right on top of him.
Zoot was blushing wildly, considering he actually kinda liked her. Same case with Leah. She was quite embarrassed.
"I-I'm really sorry about that Zoot." She got off of him, and helped him up. "Hey, no problem." Zoot smiled. He saw how she had her purse ready. Where could could she be going? She just got here! She can't leave yet!
"Uh, if you don't mind me asking, Leah... Where are you goin'?" Zoot asked.
Leah shrugged. "I'm going somewhere. Not sure where yet, but I know I'm going someplace fun." Leah chuckled.
Zoot thought for a moment. Now was his chance. If he said the right words, he could get to know her better. And if they knew eachother better, they could like eachother. And if they liked eachother then... Well, that's up to them to decide.
"Uh, well what's fun to you? I-I could tell you some places that are pretty fun. If you dig 'em." Zoot blushed.
Leah smiled. Was he asking her on a date, by any chance?
"Well, what do you like to do Zoot?" She asked.
Zoot shrugged. "I like goin' to groovy parties!"
Zoot then sighed, remembering that the band threw a party without him. "Then... Why don't we go to a groovy party?" Leah chuckled. "At this hour? Are ya crazy?" Zoot laughed, for the first time in a long while.
"Well, we might catch one if we get going now. Groovy parties don't wait for people you know!" Leah ran to the bus, as Zoot followed. Leah took the wheel, as Zoot played his saxaphone. He played the blues, but Leah still liked it. Only because he was playing it. Leah drove the bus around Los Angeles for a long time, until she just decided to go to the beach. So, she made a U-turn and headed for the beach!
 
When Leah and Zoot got off of the bus, they saw that the beach looked almost deserted.
Zoot was amazed at how empty it was. He'd only been to the beach for gigs. Also, due to his childhood, he never really went to the beach... So really, the beach was something new to him. As they walked closer to the water, a little sand crab found Zoot's feet. "Wha-?" Zoot was extremely alert now.
"Zoot, it's only a little sand crab!" Leah picked it up in her hands, and pet it with her finger.
Amazed, Zoot walked farther away from her, and closer to the shore. He found a lot of seashells there. He picked up all the ones he could find. When he put them all into his pocket, he discovered that he had a piece of string in there. Maybe he could put to good use. Later perhaps. Zoot continued to collect shells. Leah gazed at him. He was so handsome in the sunlight. And it was very adorable how he was so very interested in shell collecting. A smile appeared on Leah's face as she thought more about him. That is until she saw the water. "Zoot! Come here!" Leah yelled.
Zoot looked up at her. The sound of the water was overshadowing the sound of her soft voice.
"Huh? What you say Leah?" Zoot yelled.
"Look behind you!" Leah yelled.
"What?!"
"LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!"
That time, Zoot heard her, and by the time he turned around, a huge wave crashed atop of him. At first, the wave took him in. But then he washed up on shore.
"ZOOT!" Leah ran to his aid.
"Zoot, please tell me you're alright!"
No answer.
"Zoot?"
Zoot opened his eyes.
"I think I lost all my shells." Zoot frowned.
Leah couldn't help but giggle.
"Well check your pockets!"
Zoot checked. He had the string, and a few shells left. Only three. Zoot picked up the two next to him.
"Can we go somewhere else?" Zoot asked.
"Zoot, you're soaking wet."
"I got spare clothes on the bus."
Leah helped him up, and took him to the bus. After he got changed, they were on their way to the park.
 
At the park, Zoot layed on the nearest bench, and began to nap. "Wake up, sleepyhead!" Yelled Leah.
"Huh wha-?" Zoot woke up immediately, and fell off of the bench in the process. He got up off his feet, and walked off into the woods, that were used for hikes in the park.
Leah took it as an opprotunity to plan what she was going to say. She had to tell Zoot she liked him. If she didn't, he'd find someone else, and no one would be happy... Or at least she wouldn't be. She kept rehearsing saying, "Zoot, I like you." It seemed so easy, but she couldn't seem to stop thinking that Zoot would think she was wierd. Speak of the sax player, he came up to Leah. "Hi Zoot." She smiled.
"I made you this." Zoot handed Leah a necklace. It was the string with four shells attached, and it looked like each letter of her name was written on a different shell... And written in mud. How creative.... And... Gross...
"Why, thank you Zoot... It's beautiful." Leah kissed him on the cheek, hoping that wasn't being too forward.
"You're welcome." Zoot smiled.
Now it was time to head back home.
They held hands as they got close to the bus.
I daresay they're relationship has gone somewhere!

MORE! FINALLY!





Chapter Three- Why Dr. Teeth ain't with Leah

 

 

 

 
Zoot and Leah came home, with the band waiting for them.

Believe it or not, Zoot had a big smile on his face.

"Man Teeth, how did you let her go?" Zoot said, as he watched Leah run upstairs.

Dr. Teeth stayed silent.

"Teeth?"

"Zoot, my man, I do not, want to talk about it." Dr. Teeth sighed, remembering exactly what happened.

"Like, what happened?" Janice asked.

Dr. Teeth sighed. He never told the band about Leah before. And they were very deserving to know, because they were his closest friends. "Alright, Alright, here's what went down..."

 

 

 

*FLASHBACK!*

 

 

 

It was back before the band was officially a band. It was after Kermit sold his broadway show. Dr. Teeth was on his way to see his girlfriend, Leah.

Leah graduated at a different college. One for the musically gifted. She was especially good at singing, and playing brass instuments. However, she and Dr. Teeth were still rather close. Until... The past week...

 

 

 

 

"Doc, are you sure you want to do this...?" Leah asked.

"Positive! If I wanna stay with ya, I gotta meet your parents!" Leah kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Alright, we can do this..." Leah gripped his hand tightly, and knocked on her parents' door. Her mother answered the door and smiled. Then when she looked at Teeth...

...

FROWN!

Yes, the dear Doc was frowned upon.

"Sweetie, who is this...?" Her mother asked.

Leah blushed. "My boyfriend..."

Teeth blushed as well, ignorant to the fact Leah's mom didn't like him.

"Er... Come in... And wipe your feet..." Leah and Dr. Teeth entered the house. It was very well decorated. Many statues and paintings showed elegance. A lot of it too... It kinda made Teeth feel outta place.

"Honey, meet Leah's... Boyfriend..." Leah's mother said. Her father looked up from the newspaper he was reading and was simply appauled by Dr. Teeth's appearance.

In fact, a rather large frown was upon his face.

Leah saw how this was going to go. In a matter of seconds, Leah's dad was going to call a family meeting and tell Leah, to tell Dr. Teeth, she wasn't interested in him.

Not this time!

This time, she had a plan.

"Family meeting!"

Just as Leah predicted.

Leah and her family went into the kitchen.

"Leah, what where you thinking? Bringing this beatnik hippie into our home like this!" Leah's mother exclaimed.

"Yes, mother I can see how upset you are. But he really is a nice guy! Please, just allow him to drive you to the park, and I promise you'll like him by the time you return!" Leah was begging. Her mother and Father exchanged looks.

"Alright. Fine. We'll go to the park with him..." The family went back into the living room, where Dr. Teeth stood.

"Let's go to the park." Leah's mom told Teeth.

"Is Leah coming?" Teeth asked.

Leah shook her head. "This is so you can bond with my parents. Go on!" Leah pushed Dr. Teeth outside, as her parents followed. Leah ran back inside.

Teeth decided to just go start up the bus. Leah's parents decided to load themselves on the bus. They saw how the bus was decorated with CD's and some instruments. They both took a seat, as Dr. Teeth took off.

"So, Mr., um... Teeth... What is your occupation?"

"Uh, I'm startin' up a band."

"Hmph. And what is the pay for that?"

"Who cares! It's all about the music man."

"No money?! You don't care if you don't have it? How are you supposed to take care of our daughter with no money?"

"We knew you were a deadbeat."

"And a hippie."

"And a beatnik."

"And a hobo."

"And a loser."

With each insult, Dr. Teeth got more angry, and eventually...

"WOULD YOU PL-"

 

CRASH!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Leah was relaxing at her parents' house. Her original home. She wondered down the halls that she ran down as a small child, and smiled. So many memories.

Admiring her old house, she got a phonecall.

"Yeah Teeth...? You did what?" Leah ran out the house, and drove her motorcycle all the way to the scene of the car accident.

 

 

 

 

(*FLASHBACK END*)

 

 

 

"... Leah's parents died, and she said she didn't want to talk to me ever again..." Teeth sighed.

"Oh, like, that's rully terrible. I'm like, rully sorry..."

Floyd, Zoot, and Janice, couldn't help but feel bad for him. He didn't mean it. He was only upset. The only question Zoot had, was: Was Leah still mad at Teeth?

I RULLY NEED TO UPDATE THIS MORE.
I want to thank Leah for being so incredibly patient, and I hope she'll be more patient for the pictures I promised. MAN I AM SO BEHIND ON MA PROMISES!
Anyhoot, on with the next chappie!



 

Chapter Four- Jealous Janice?

 

 

 

 

 
Leah and Zoot were once again hanging out, but they were trying to get to know eachother as more than friends. As they both entered the theatre, laughing, and giggling playfully, the band was giving them both icy stares.

"You're late, man." Floyd said, shaking his head.

"LATE! LATE!" Agreed Animal.

Leah and Zoot blushed, ashamed of their action to hang out instead of do their part in the Electric Mayhem.

"Sorry guys, we just lost track of time and-"

"Well like, don't let it happen again, or you're like out of here!" Janice interupted rudely.

Leah blushed. She was a bit suprised that Janice would speak to her that way. Blushing turned to tears, and Leah ran off, and Zoot followed in an attempt to comfort her.

"Man babe, what was that about?" Floyd asked.

Janice only shook her head.

But she knows exactly why she acted the way she did.

Janice, is jealous.

 

 

 

Dear Diary,

 

Janice totally snapped on me today. I'm not quite sure why... I understand that I showed up late for rehearsal, but I don't know why she acted the way she did. Maybe she was just having a really bad day, or something. Maybe she and Floyd got in arguement... Either way, I'm sure she didn't mean to get so snippy.

 

 

Love Leah.

 

 

Leah closed her diary just as a knock was heard on her door. "Come in."

It was Zoot. He had a boquet of flowers.

"Oh, Hi Zoot." Leah blushed.

Zoot made his way into the room slowly, then handed Leah the boquet.

"Oh Zoot..." Leah paused to smell the flowers. "They're absolutely beautiful... Where did you get these...?"

"Well," Zoot began. "Let's just say I risked my life to get these flowers."

Leah tilted her head in confusion.

"They're from Miss Piggy's garden." Zoot said, finally.

Leah giggled, asking herself why Piggy had a garden in the first place, considering the boquet had daffodils...

 

 

 

Meanwhile

 

 

 

"Hey, Piggy?"

"Yes Kermie?"

"Uh, have you seen Robin's science project?"

"What's his science project?"

"He's growing a garden. A lot of the flowers are missing."

"Well, I haven't been anywhere near it. It has daffodils."

 

 

 

 

Now you know why. :big_grin:

 

 

 

 

"So, Leah, I just kinda wanted to say sorry on Janice's behalf... I feel like I should." Zoot said.

"No, no, it wasn't you. You shouldn't have to apologize." Leah hugged him and rested her head on his shoulder.

Zoot hugged back, as Janice walked past, then backed in the doorway. "Like, there you are Zoot, we need you for practice!" Janice said, dragging Zoot out the room.

"Uh, me too Janice?" Leah asked.

"Like, no. No vocals."

Leah was a little hurt by the spoken words of her fellow band member... And perhaps Janice wasn't as nice as she thought...

 

 

 

Later on, Leah was on her bed, trying to come up with more music suggestion for the Mayhem. As the new girl, who apparently isn't on good speaking terms with two of them, she thought that maybe she could repair the broken friendship cords by writing some groovy music. With Zoot's sax in hands, she was determined to accomplish anything... That is until she blew into the instrument. It made such an awful racket... "Man, what is in this thing...?" Leah asked herself. She examined the inside of the brass instrument to find one of Leah's necklaces jammed inside. But how? Leah never put her jewelery in Zoot's sax. Why would she anyway? There was only one logical explaination for this...

Someone was trying to get Leah in trouble.

 

 

 

Zoot was with the band, and turns out, the song that they were playing, didn't even have saxaphone in it, so he wasn't sure why Janice desperately needed him at the time.

"Janice! You missed your solo. Somethin' wrong babe?"

"Shut up Floyd."

Zoot, Dr. Teeth, and even Animal knew something was wrong with Janice.

Leah ran into the scene, with sheet music.

Janice snatched and ripped it.

"Stay away from Zoot!"

Everyone stared at her shocked at what she said, and in a panic, Janice ran away.

"Baby, wait!"

Leah grabbed his shoulder before he could run after her.

"This is between me, and Janice. You don't need to get involved." Leah then proceeded in the direction Janice ran.

 

 

 

Leah knocked on Janice's door, and even though Janice said 'Go away', she entered anyway.

"Janice, am I offending you somehow by liking Zoot?"

Janice didn't speak at first.

"You seem to do a better job at making him happy than I ever could, so like, I guess I was a little jealous... I'm like, rully sorry Leah, like, please forgive me!"

Leah hugged her.

Thank goodness that was over!

First off that's an awesome story. I really enjoyed reading it. Suggestion: you could fast forward a year later or so and maybe have Zoot propose in a later chapter but have him do something very romantic. :cool:
LeahXZoot4Evur - Zoot is also one of my favorite muppets too :cool:

I usually don't jump into other people's stories but I'm really itching to take a crack at this. Would anyone mind if I do? If you don't want me to, I won't but I figured it won't hurt to ask.
