I do not know if this was meant to be implied in this chapter ... but Skeeter and Clifford would make a cute couple.

Part XII: Logistics Part XII: Logistics The Muppets convened in Emily Bear’s old red barn, the only space large enough for all of them, to discuss logistics. They sat on bales of hay while anxiously discussing their options. Getting Miss Piggy and Kermit back on good terms was not going to...

Jonathan, Props to you for getting the Les Mis reference! You get a cookie. :) The reporter Ivan's name is also a literary refernce, albeit a very mangled one. He was supposed to be named after Leo Tolstoy's character in The Death of Ivan Ilych, but I obviously misremembered Ivan's last...

No, it's not all depressing. But there is great sadness here - but of course there is. The part with everyone sleeping is so beautiful and sweet. It makes an at least somewhat hopeful ending to the chapter.

Huzzah! The pig and the frog are liberated!

Part XI: Back in Business Part XI: Back in Business Fozzie sat on the couch in his mother’s old house, watching the clock. Gonzo sat in a nearby armchair with Camilla. “Where is everybody?” Fozzie complained. “Don’t worry. They’ll be here.” “But I was very specific that the meeting...

Gonzo's my favorite too - so he gets a healthy role in this story, almost by default. :) TogetherAgain - I grinned when I saw the MTM reference! I couldn't help thinking about that when I wrote this section of the story. I hope I was still original, though, and not just ripping off MTM...

Yes, the dialogue is wonderful in this chapter - and I suspect, the lightness and happiness here will serve to stand in contrast to future sadness.

Yes, the FMO should certainly not be restricted to this story. :)

Part X: Ten Long Years Part X: Ten Long Years But all of that had happened so long ago. Ten long years. Gonzo stood outside, gazing up at the sky, just as he had that day several months ago when that interviewer had come to see him. Now, however, it was nighttime and bitterly cold. Gonzo...

Glad you liked it, Beau. This is a serious moment in the story, but hey, it's still Muppets. On another note, I finished writing the story last night, so I can adjust posting frequency to suit whatever folks would like. Less frequent posts? More frequent posts? Tell me what y'all want...

I'm enjoying Maggie too. But of course I am, she's such an enjoyable character. I do hope she she is just impish but not truly bad? Because that would make me so sad if she's done something truly awful, and that's why she's come see Kermit.

That last line really does kick butt. I love Piggy/Kermit scenes. :)

Part IX: Broken Hearts Part IX: Broken Hearts But what about Piggy and Kermit? What happened to them? Well. Nobody really knew. Kermit did some Sesame Street and spent as much time as possible with his nephew Robin, and Piggy did some commercials, but other than that, the two...

Part VIII: Broken Dreams Part VIII: Broken Dreams The Muppets had tried to get the pig and frog to make up, but it was to no avail. Kermit had had his faith in himself deeply shaken by losing his position as director, and Piggy had had her feelings injured by what seemed to her to be...

I promise, there is light at the end of this long dark tunnel. Just bear with me.

There must be vengeance! (Muppety vengeance, but vengeance.) Poor poor Piggy and Kermit!

So much comic potential. :) If I were Kermit, I would totally be cool with Maggie dating most anyone from the TMS crew: Fozzie, a bear with a heart of gold; Rowlf, loyal and wise; Gonzo, never boring and a true friend. Maybe not Animal, but he's the only guy I can think of. Now, the MT...

I'm deferring to Beauregard here. "Chain-sore mascara." That's just quality punning there, that's what that is. Listen to Beau.

Part VII: Flashpoint Part VII: Flashpoint Kermit and Piggy stared each other down for several long, tense moments. “Miss Piggy.” “Kermie.” More silence. “You just can’t treat people this way, Piggy. You scared Fozzie so bad, he was hiding under the furniture.” “I maintain...
