By the way, Kim, isn't it cool that there's nothing about Skeeter for so long, then suddenly there's a role-play and two Fan-Fic's all featureing her prominently!!! What a luckily gal she is.

Now if Muppet's would only make an adult puppet of her, with a backstory, we'd all be pleased once and for all.

I hope this is better than what I started with. I noticed there was alot of grammor and spelling mistakes. I paragraphed it as well so it dosen't look so cluttered. I hope thie helps a little.

I'm going to have a go at posting a fic on here. I haven't written one about

the Muppets in years. So I'm a little rusty at getting the exact personalities

right. But I'm sure someone can help me out here at MC. So here I go. I

might make corrections on this as I go along.
I had this idea running

about in my head for about 10 years, but I never really put it to ' paper. '

To avoid confusion I'm not going to make any reference to the ' Muppet

Babies ' series. As good at it was there’s a lot of stuff that didn't match up.

I know there’s been some discussion about what might have happened to

Skeeter, but there's nothing official that says for sure what exactly happened

to her.

Some say she ' disappeared ' exploring the Amazon Desert; some say she

died and some just don't care. My original Idea was that she died when she

was 3 years old of leukemia, but as I got to thinking. I thought it might be

interesting to see her grow up, so I rewrote it (several times mind you) 'til I

came up with a plot I was happy with so here it is.

Scooter and Skeeter were separated when they were about 4 years old,

because Scooter's Uncle didn't want Skeeter. His sister who was only 18

years old when she had Scooter and Skeeter, but was forced to give them up

for adoption by her mother saying she was too young to raise children, she

wanted her to finish her studies and become a Doctor and she knew she

would drop out if she kept the babies.

So they were placed in a very nice foster home. 4 years later JP returned

and said he wanted Scooter. The people at the foster home tried to keep the

twins together, but he only wanted the one. Scooter did miss his sister, but

soon for got about her as he got older. He was never allowed to talk about

her.

Every time she was mentioned he would be told not to talk about it so she

became a very vague memory. Skeeter on the other hand remembered

Scooter because the Nurse at the foster home said that one day she would

find her brother again, and Skeeter always believed that. Skeeter stayed at

the foster home 'til she was 18 when she moved out on her own.

She was well educated, and was athletic, and was always in competitions.

Her dream was to become a world champion gymnast. She lived by herself in

a one-room apartment, and spent a lot of her time working, or studying, she

really didn't make much time for socials or partying. The apartment was

always in a mess, filled with costumes, trophies, and pizza boxes.

There was a couch, and a 1970's TV set with an antenna that got 5

stations. There was a 1950's style white table with gold flecks in it that had a

2-burner portable stove, and a toaster. Skeeter wasn't a very good cook and

often burned stuff mainly because her eyes weren’t very good.

Her glasses were kept up to date but because of her lazy eye things didn't

stay in focus because it would wander slightly and there was nothing that

could be done to correct it. She had very long bright red hair that she always

kept up in ponytail; she had a slight fringe of bangs in the front.

In a hurry one morning because she was late for work she came running

down the hallway when she bumped into a strange looking purple Muppet with

dread locks. Dropping her tote bag that wasn’t zippered up because the

zipper was broken scattering her work clothes, and Danskin along with her

make up and a few other personal things all over the floor.

I hope this makes sense. will have more soon.

" Oh excuse me! " Skeeter said fixing her glasses that got knocked crooked as

she bent down to pick up her things.

" I'll get those for you. " He offered as he was helping her. " So… Are you

new here? " He asked. " I haven't seen you around. "

" I been living her only a couple of months. " Skeeter said as she threw her

bag back over her shoulder.

" A couple of months?! You must not get out much. I know everyone in this

apartment... well almost everyone. " He said with a smile.

" Sorry I don't mean to sound rude but I really have to go. I'm late for work. "

Skeeter said as she made her way past him.

" Hold on baby! " He said running after her. " Can I get your phone number?

Maybe we can

hook up for a date. "

" I really don't think so. " She said as she pressed the elevator button.

" Oh ok. um... can we set up a time to meet again? I really would like to get

to know you a little better. When is your next day off? "

" Saturday. " Skeeter said the elevator door opened.

" So Saturday then at 1 pm? " He said through the doors as they started to

close. " By the pool say you'll be there. "

" I'll think about it. " Skeeter said as they closed. "

To be continued unless someone wants to add to it.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Later on that night.

Skeeter was sitting the couch about ready to dose off

where there was a knock at the door. "

" Who is it? " She said.

" It's me the dude you bumped into in the hall way. " Skeeter unbolted the

door everything except the chain bolt, and opened it as far as it would allow.

" What do you want? " She asked.

" I just came to visit. I visit everyone in the apartment just thought I come

over and check out your place. "

" Why would you suddenly come over when I been living here for 2 months? "

" Because I didn't know anyone was renting this room, it's always so quiet in

here. "

" Because I sleep most of the time that's why. "

" If you don't want me to come over I'll leave you alone then sorry to bother

you. " He said as he very understanding started he to walk away.

" No hold on. I'll let you in. " Skeeter said as she unchained the door.

" Excuse the mess and the way I look. I wasn't expecting company. "

" That's cool! " He said not being offended in the least. He's seen all kinds of

apartments. He happened to notice one of her trophies sitting on the

windowsill.

" So you're a gymnast huh? "

" Yup. " She looked very tired but happy to have company.

She tucked her shirt into her pants, and tidied up her hair.

" What's your name anyway? " Skeeter asked as she let down her hair to

bursh it.

" Clifford and yours? "

" Skeeter. " She said with her head completely upside down trying to retie it.

To be continued unless someome wants to add to it.

What I meant by that was. If anyone else had something they wanted to add to it.

I gotta' admit, I never really liked Clifford, but if he's the guy that's gonna' hook up Skeeter, I think he'll be an okay guy.

So, ZZ; Skeeter seems to have a bit of an attitude about her in her older age, are we gong to learn of a specific event that made her that way? Or is it just from never being adopted and living in an orphanage most of her life?

Good work so far!
