Sweet Revival

[Barry Lee]

I havent written or kept up with a muppet story for a long while. I've become more inspired while watching "The Muppet Show" episodes that i have been constantly tuning into all the seasons. (Sort of my goal with this summer that i already finished!) The title "Sweet Revival" is basically a revival in many terms, not only with the muppets, but the relationships with individuals such as Miss Piggy and Kermit, or The Electric Mayhem. Also revivals of family members. The setting takes place in the muppet universe, right now, 2008, in a swamp house. Kermit acquires new land, and builds two houses, one for him & Robin, and one for Fozzie. So we begin at the swamp house, Kermit's, for a dinner party with Robin, and Fozzie, as well as Fozzie's mother, who visits for the weekend.

Note: Sorry the first part of this chapter is short, I am about to eat dinner but I wanted to go ahead and post this part. See what you guys think!

Chapter 1 (Part One):
Mashed Potato Nights

"Pass the peas please...ahh get it, PEAS PLEASE!"

The clitter clatter of jingling bowls swifts around the short ruby wooden circular table made of oak.

"Uncle Kermit," a young beedy eyed green frog sighs, "What's for desert?"

"Robin," with a firm reply as he passes the peas to Fozzie, "you need to eat your mashed potatoes first!"

The eager young frog, Robin groans as if it was the end of the world finishing the creamy buttery helping of potatoes served to him. As Fozzie sprinkles peas onto the china, his mother raises a glass and raises her voice as well.

"Too all good health, and to a new muppet revival!"

Dead silence arose. So silent the crickets outside seemed as loud as a live rock concert with booming bass. Robin clatters outside as Kermit gulps.

"Um Ma, were taking a break." Fozzie explains to Emily, a now 80 year old bear in a wheelchair after surgery to her legs.
Emily swishes her glass of wine.

"Well I had a talk with the theater downtown... and you guys are hired for a show next month. I'll be your manager." Emily bares with a grin as she wipes her mouth with a pink clothed napkin of silk.

Fozzie's mouth drops and Kermit excuses himself from the dinner table. Little did Kermit or Fozzie realize, but the night would become much more crazier. As Fozzie ducks his head and drops his hat on the ground. A loud racket can be heard from miles away, as the sound drew closer to the house, everything started to shake.

Robin busted inside as the front door slammed and squeaked as it closed, with his eyes wide open.

"Uncle KERMIT! LOOK OUTSIDE!" Robin shouted.





Kermit bolts onto the front porch. With a slight smirk, and anxious weary feeling.

Chapter 1 (Part Two):
Mashed Potato Nights

Streaming colors of pink, blue, and yellow swerve onto the front porch of the frog residence. As proclamations of "WOMAN WOMAN WOMAN!" roar as loud as the engine.

"The Electric Mayhem?", Kermit squirmed as Robin rushed over. A short man with not hair put on his purple hat as his golden tooth blinded Kermit, soon to follow along with a shaded dark man with sunglasses, a tall blond haired woman with ruby red lipstick, and a sort of descendant of the 1960's with a fuzzy mustache and a Sargent coat all strut down the narrow stairs.

Robin stumbles to the man of the golden tooth, "DR TEETH!" as Robin rests his arms around the mans big jolly belly, sort of a warm feeling of Christmas in Robin's eyes, but without the Christmas cookies and being replaced with diamond rings.

"Robin my bro! Its finally time huh Kermit? The Revival?" Dr. Teeth swayed onto the porch as Kermit scrunched his mouth, he was speechless.

Fozzie finally stumbles on the porch, as he runs over to the bus and high-fives Zoot and Floyd.

"Ahh its good to have the band back, so where have you guys been?" as Fozzie pats Zoot on his back -- almost giving Zoot a concussion.

As Fozzie asks his question, he is joined by Kermit, Robin and Emily crowding around Floyd, trying to keep hold of Animal's chain.

Floyd explains to the bears and frogs that they spent a year tour in Sweden playing as an Ethel Merman/ Gershwin Techno Tribute Cover Band. They sold out arena's everywhere but when they got a call from Emily Bear, they couldnt resist not coming over.

"Oh and like, we also brought in one of our GROUPEEEES along for the ride!" swayed Janice as her tringling blond extensions swung back and forth.

A strange sound arose as a Swedish man, with a chef's hat enters.

"SWEDISH CHEF! SWEDISH CHEF! WHERE'S STEAK?" Animal proclaims as his eyes open wide and Floyd looses control of the chain, letting Animal run loose.

Kermit with a fake smile grabs Robin into the dining hall, and explains to his nephew, "It's going to be a long week huh Robin?"

The night carried on, as the moon was held high and the clock hit a stroke of midnight, as the beds of Kermit's house were all filled, leaving Kermit and Robin to sleep on the couch.

As Kermit tucks Robin in for bed, he curls onto his old chair, dozing off, not expecting the morning events.
