Chapter 6:
All the Muppets changed channels only for a moment to see a portion of the Pentagon on fire with firefighters all around to control the blaze.
At the Muppet Theater:
Kermit: I can't believe how these planes keep crashing.
Red: You were right. These are really bad people.
Leon: Man. Why were they going for the U.S. capital?
Gonzo: Beats me. Maybe for some kind of revenge against our country.
Vicki: But what have we done to them?
Scooter: I wish I knew.
Rowlf: Now it's only a matter of time before one more plane may crash.
Miss Piggy: Oh, don't say that!
Fozzie: I really hope that doesn't happen.
At Hooper's Store:
Biff: Well, it's official. This country is under attack.
Kingston: You heard the president, right? He said that the country will do anything to stop this from happening again.
Ernie: Couldn't anything be done before now?
Bert: What could've been done, Ernie? There wasn't any attack as serious as this.
Roxie: Do you think things will get even worse from here?
Biff: It wouldn't surprise me if the towers of the World Trade Center collapsed minutes from now.
At Frogtown Hollow:
Will: This country is under attack, no doubt about it.
Emmet: Why was Washington D.C. a target?
Harvey: Who knows?
Wendell: Do you think it's revenge against us?
Charlie: What could we have done to make them do this?
Ma: I don't know. I wonder what has happened to the other plane that was hijacked.
Emmet: I don't think I want to know, Ma.
Charlie: What will happen to the World Trade Center in New York?
Harvey: They're probably going to fall down any minute now.
Wendell: I hope people get out of those towers in time.
Ma: Me, too.
At the meadow:
Bean: I can't believe another plane has crashed.
Twitch: Do you think that the other plane will end up crashing?
Lugsy: I really hate to say this, but probably.
Snort: What can we do?
Father Bunny: There's not a lot we can do.
Be-bop: But what about all those people that may be still in the buildings?
Babble: I hope they get out. Those towers could fall any minute now.
Mother Bunny: Me, too. Right now, we just need to hope for the best.

Now that's what made me cry when I was 9 and a half. I really saw the towers coming down, people screaming, the carea captured it and oh my gosh I could not believe it happened. It was an awful day.

BTW: Keep going, vettech29! You're doing great!

Chapter 7:
It was close to 10:00 am, the worst part of the attacks was yet to come.
At the Muppet Theater:
Boober: I don't think I can watch any more of this.
Gobo: Me, either.
Rowlf: I don't get it. What motive coud these guys have had to do this?
Scooter: I don't get it either.
Wembley: This is so scary. What if people are still inside if the towers fall?
Mokey: There's not a lot we can do, Wembley.
Fozzie: Yeah, I worry about that, too.
At Hooper's Store:
Grover: Will all those people get out in time?
Biff: It'll depend on when the buildings may collapse.
Elizabeth: What will happen when the buildings fall down?
Maria: Who knows?
Bob: We'll have to wait and see what happens.
Count: It'll be terrible if those buildings collapse.
Kingston: Not only for us but for everyone near them.
At Frogtown Hollow:
Emmet: I don't know if I can watch this much longer.
Wendell: This is awful.
Will: I'll say. If the towers fall, it'll be a disaster.
Charlie: Will all those people get out before they fall?
Harvey: I really hope so. A lot of people have already died, if they fall more will die.
Ma: Well, there's not a lot we can do, except pray that more people can come out of this alive.
At the meadow:
Twitch: What can we do?
Mother Bunny: There's nothing else we can do.
Bean: Will the buildings fall down?
Father Bunny: Probably soon.
Snort: If the buildings fall, more people will get hurt.
Babble: I don't want to see any more people get hurt!
Be-bop: Me, either! This isn't fair to any of the people still trapped inside!
Mother Bunny: I know, all we can do is hope people made it out in time.
Lugsy: I don't know if I can watch this anymore. Be-bop's right, this is unfair! I can't tell if anybody came out okay!
Father Bunny: I'm sure a lot of people got out of there as soon as the attacks started.
Mother Bunny: Yes, the firefighters are doing their best to help all those people escape.
Bean: But they don't have a lot of time. before...
Twitch: Look!
As they turned to the screen, everyone's worst fears are realized. The South Tower is the first to come crashing down onto the street sending a gigantic cloud of dust, glass, concrete and debris spread throughout the town. As they watch, everyone can't help but watch with wide eyes and mouths open. At this point, the all know it's a matter of time until the other tower will fall down the same way.

Chapter 8:
Shortly after the first collapse, news of one more crash would go around and the feelings of sadness and anger kept building up and the need to fight back against the attackers.
At the Muppet Theater:
Robin: That one tower is gone!
Scooter: Yeah. Soon, the other one will go down the same way.
Red: This is terrible. Wasn't there a way to stop this from happening in the first place?
Gonzo: If there was, no one was able to catch on.
Gobo: If they couldn't be stopped then, they'll be stopped now.
Wembley: Do think a lot of people will fight back against them?
Floyd: No doubt, man.
Rowlf: Wouldn't surprise me if they got started right now.
Clifford: They'll have to wait. Look.
TV: There is a new report of another plane crash in Pennsylvania...
Boober: Another plane crash?
Miss Piggy: What will happen now?
Vicki: I think that was the last plane to crash.
Kermit: I can't imagine how many lives are now gone.
At Hooper's Store:
Big Bird: That building is gone!
Biff: I can't believe this. These people have done it now!
Kingston: What can be done now?
Roxie: You heard, there are plans for fighting back against them.
Alan: That's right.
Gordon: And don't anybody worry about anything. They'll be plans that a lot of people will go and fight back.
Grover: Is fighting the only option?
Luis: I think so, Grover.
At Frogtown Hollow:
Ma: Well, that's it. The building is gone.
Will: Yeah. What can be done now?
Harvey: There was news of fighting back, right?
Emmet: Yeah. Then maybe this won't happen again.
Charlie: I think it's already too late, now there's news of another plane crash.
Wendell: Where?
Charlie: Somewhere in Pennsylvania.
Ma: At least it's the last one, I hope.
Wendell: What will happen to the families of the people who died?
Ma: Well, we just have to hope for the best. They'll all find they're own ways of grieving and somehow remembering them.
Harvey: Now it's only a matter of time before the other building falls.
At the meadow:
Mother Bunny: The tower is gone!
Father Bunny: Now it'll be the other tower's turn to fall.
Twitch: What will happen now?
Snort: Didn't you hear? People are going to fight back.
Lugsy: Why couldn't they fight against them before now?
Babble: Maybe there wasn't a real reason to do that until now.
Be-bop: Now it's too late for the people who lost their lives.
Bean: What'll happen now?
Father Bunny: We'll have to wait and see what happens.
Mother Bunny: I think with this happening, it will make us stronger, not only as a family, but as a whole entire nation.
Close to 11:00 am, the North Tower falls down the same way the South Tower fell. After that, everyone hears the words they'd never thought they'd hear.
TV: Ladies and gentleman, the World Trade Center is no more.
All anyone could do was cry and wonder how much things will change. The next day, everyone gathered in a park near Sesame Street paying respects to those who perished by raising the American flag at half-mast and the Frog Scouts playing "Taps" on a bugle and a moment of silence. In the days and years that followed, American flags were displayed on every home and business and reminded themselves how strong the nation can be against the attackers and be proud to be Americans and also to remember the ones that have gone.

9/11, we will never forget.

It is the ending of the story. I didn't know how to go about making the ending of this story, I just made it up as I went.

Chapter 2:
At the Muppet Theater:
Kermit: Now as all of you know, something happened at the World Trade Center in New York. No one knows for sure what has happened, but all we know of is a passenger plane hit the North Tower and it was hijacked before it crashed.
Fozzie: Hijacked? By who?
Kermit: No one knows yet, all we can do now is pray that they all make it out of the building alive.
Scooter: Kermit, Robin's school just called. Classes are cancelled and all the parents are coming to pick them up.
Kermit: Oh, I have to pick Robin up. Everyone stay here and when I come back, let me know what happens.
Scooter: I'll go with you, boss.
Gonzo: Why would someone hijack an airplane full of people and cause it to crash?
Miss Piggy: I don't know, but whoever they are, they're heartless human beings.
Gobo: Hello? Anyone here?
Fozzie: Gobo! What are you guys doing here?
Red: We heard what happened but what's going on?
Floyd: An airplane full of people was hijacked and then crashed into one of the buildings.
Boober: But why?
Dr. Teeth: We don't know, man.
Mokey: That's awful! Why would anybody do that?
Wembley: Those poor people.
Gobo: Yeah. I guess a lot of people are already gone, but I hope more get out alive.
Back at Hooper's Store:
Big Bird: Why is that building on fire?
Bob: Well, an airplane crashed into the building...on purpose.
Ernie: Why would it be on purpose?
Bert: Yeah, how could anyone do a thing like that?
Count: Those poor people. I hope more and more people get out alive.
Grover: Me, too.
Meanwhile, in Frogtown Hollow, Emmet and his friends had just passed Will Possum's house where Emmet's mother was.
Ma: Emmet, boys! Over here!
Emmet: Ma, what's going on in New York?
Ma: Look for yourself.
Then the boys look on Will's TV and see the burning building.
Wendell: What happened?
Will: Well, a big airplane full of people was hijacked, that is another person or people that are not pilots, take over the plane and cause it to crash into things.
Charlie: Why would anybody do that?
Harvey: Yeah, what has anybody done to them?
Ma: I don't know. I can't believe anyone could do this and to the country.
Emmet: I hope those people make it.
Ma: Me, too, Emmet.
In the meadow, a knock came at the Bunny's door.
Mother Bunny: The children are here. Thank goodness you're home.
Twitch: What happened, mother?
Mother Bunny: It's not easy to tell you this, but a plane has crashed into a building in New York...on purpose.
Bean: On purpose?
Father Bunny: Yes, I'm afraid so.
Mother Bunny: And the plane was full of people and someone else took control and caused it to crash.
Lugsy: Why would someone do that?
Mother Bunny: We don't know. It's just heartless what these people have done.
Lugsy: Will those people still there...die?
Mother Bunny: I sure hope not.
At Robin's school minutes later, Kermit and Scooter arrive to pick up Robin.
Kermit: Oh, where's Robin? Robin!
Scooter: There he is with Billy Bunny!
Robin: Uncle Kermit! What's going on?
Kermit: I'll explain on the way to the theater.
Billy: Is everyone there okay?
Kermit: Well, Billy, I don't think the people on the plane survived. I really hope more people make it out of the buildings alive.
Billy: Oh, no! I can't believe this! A plane crashed into one of the buildings and they died?
Scooter: Yes, but more people still have a chance.
Billy's mother: Billy!
Billy: Oh, I've gotta go. Drive safe, Kermit.
Kermit: Okay, Billy. Take care.
Billy: Thanks.
Well I have to that I like when Wemley Fraggle said people insted of silly creatures.
