Chapter Eight
Ten Months Later
July 4, 1968
The field was sprinkled with picnic blankets, some covered with people, some with only two. One blanket, although notably large, was so covered that no one could even see it. That blanket belong to Jim Henson and his family. It was occupied by...
Chapter Seven
The Next Morning
April 1, 1966
Melinda slowly sat up and listened. It was quiet. She turned and looked at her husband.
Kermit’s face was lined and dark, firmly set in a deep frown. He stared blankly into space. “The storm’s gone,” he said in a hushed voice. “It should be...
PRAWNIE!!!!!!!!!! <Glomp>
Weren't expecting THIS for a "major altercation," eh? I love it when people can't figure out where I'm going with things. It makes the effect so much more effective. Same insane old Prawnie? Well, I wouldn't expect anything less! And what's this about "already read...
Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Birthday, Fragglemuppet!
(This post has been brough to you by the commands "copy" and "paste.")
Lisa: <Opens door and hugs Renee> Yes, I did! I'm sorry, I'm terrible at keeping up with thank yous. But I absolutely LOVE it! And I'm sorry that I seem to have once again fallen behind in reading your writing. I should be able to remedy that this weekend.
Lisa: <Looks at computer screen and sits back, very pleased.> Yes.
Rowlf: Pardon?
Lisa: <glances at Rowlf> This last chapter I posted. I think I've shocked them.
Rowlf: Is that good or bad?
Lisa: Well, it... Yes.
Rowlf: <double-take>
Lisa: But that's not the best part.
Rowlf: Well...
Ah, but remember! They met in a diner, and later ran into each other at Christy's Bar and Restaurant, where Melinda was working and Kermit was a customer. Christy's still stands. The diner does not. Er, well, it still stands, it's just been converted into a record store.
I know it seems a...
Chapter Six
One Month and Two Weeks Later
August 13, 1964
Kermit and Melinda walked down a dark, quiet street. His arm was around her waist, and her arm was around his neck.
“Hey Kermit,” Melinda said quietly. “Look- there’s a new record store.”
Kermit stopped and looked at the...
All things considered, I should not do this.
But.
<Looks around.>
All right everybody. Brace yourselves. We've got a bumpy ride, and we're taking it at the speed of light. Fasten your seatbelts.
<Switches to rocket fuel.>
<Slams on the accelerator.>
Lisa: <walking past> Not posted anything new lately? I just postd a chapter last night! And really, it's writing that's the trouble- er, well, not really, it's having time for writing... I STILL haven't finished the chapter before the chapter I wanted to have done before I posted the chapter I...
Can you get behind it? ...Fer surely!
GREAT chapter, Ed! Really looking forward to seeing what those folks in the real backstage are up to, but in the meantime, I just love this chapter!
Chapter Five
After dinner, someone decided they should have a dance. Kermit settled in on a log with his banjo across his lap, and smiled at Melinda as she sat next to him. “Having fun?” he said quietly as he played a lively tune for the swamp to dance to.
Melinda hesitated as she looked...
You have to convince me that even though I haven't really even finished the chapter before the chapter that I wanted to have done before posting chapter five, the chapter I wanted to have done is as good as written, because I know where I'm going and what I'm doing with it, and it shouldn't take...
Released in 1977, yes. But in theory, Kermit the Frog and company would have signed the "standard rich and famous contract" before they rose to stardom in The Muppet Show, thus placing the actual events of the movie a few years before it was filmed and released. The hard part is connecting that...
Sorry for my delay in reading this. I like it! Nice and short and sweet well written. Reminds me of a Dove dark chocolate miniature, although that may have something to do with the fact that I'm looking at a basket of them. :halo: I applaud!
Yeah, I want to read more, too!
...Er, wait... Um...
All right, seriously- well, as seriously as is realistically possible, anyway- as expected, I have too much homework to post more tonight. I'm sorry! But, I will be taking short breaks, and in those breaks, I would be happy to answer...
I can, shall, and in fact must leave you at the swamp's edges, if I'm going to finish this reading for English class. It's on persuasion. Maybe it'll help me persuade you to nag me less... Of course, I don't expect that to happen until the Earth circles the moon. More likely, it'll help me to...
Chapter Four
One Week Later
June 16, 1964
Kermit sat in the train with a hand on his banjo and an arm around Melinda. He watched her face as she stared out the window at the passing scenery. He squeezed her shoulder. She looked at him, smiled stiffly, and turned back to the window...
You know, I really wasn't planning on posting another chapter today. But, I just so happened to almost completely write one during some free time at religious school this morning. (I work first shift and hang out for second shift, so no, I was not skiving off of my duties.) And what that...
Chapter Three
Seven Months and One Week Later
April 30, 1964
Melinda glanced at the small black and white television wedged into a corner of the kitchen as the man on the screen introduced Jim Henson. She carried a slip of paper out of the kitchen and into the restaurant, where a family...
