Fwee! Another chapter! This one’s a bit of a quickie.

A Green and Red Christmas
by PuppyLuver and ZootyCutie
“Um... uh...” Kermit had hoped this wouldn’t happen, but it happened. The jester had found the guest star. The stalker had cornered his prey. Snape had killed Dumble—wait, what? Oh well. Either way, there was nothing Kermit could do about this just yet. He had to introduce the next act! The frog ran out on stage to give the band a quick introduction. “Now we have Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem!” he exclaimed to the audience, before he ran backstage to get a crowbar in case David needed it.
The curtain lifted, revealing the Electric Mayhem in all their glory. The band started playing a jazzy tune as Floyd Pepper shouted out, “This here goes out to Kris Kringle! He's one jolly dude!”
“Hey, Mr. Kringle is soon gonna jingle
The bells that'll tingle all your troubles away
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
'Cause Christmas is coming again
He's got a sleigh full, it's not gonna stay full
Stuff that he's dropping every stop of the way
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
'Cause Christmas is coming again
He'll be here
With the answer to the prayers
That you made through the year
You'll get yours
If you've done everything you should extra special good
He'll make this December the one you'll remember
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
'Cause Christmas is coming again”
Floyd momentarily stopped singing to let some of the other band members shine. “Let's kick it!” he exclaimed, as Zoot performed a sax solo. “All right Zoot! Groovy baby! Ladies and gentlemen, Zoot!”
“Thank you!” said the blue-haired saxophonist. “Thanks.”
After Zoot’s moment in the spotlight, Dr Teeth played an impressive string of notes on his piano. “Run with it, Dr Teeth!” Floyd exclaimed, smiling. “Yeah!” Next, Animal performed a drum solo, and what a drum solo it was. “Hit that groove Animal! Yeah! He's comin' to see you too!” That was supposed to be Animal’s cue to stop, but he didn’t stop. He just kept drumming, steadily getting faster and louder. “Whoa!” Floyd shouted. “Easy, man!”
“THE BAG! THE BAG!” Animal bellowed, continuing to drum crazily.
“Animal! Animal! Take your tablets...”
“ONE! TWO! THREE!” The music started up as normal, and Floyd continued to sing.
“That cool cat Kringle is soon gonna jingle
All the bells that'll tingle all your troubles away
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
'Cause Christmas is here again
He's got a sleigh full, and it's not gonna stay full
Got stuff that he's dropping every stop of the way
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
'Cause Christmas is here again
He'll be here
With the answer to the prayers
That you made through the year
You'll get yours
If you've done everything you should extra special good
He'll make this December the one you'll remember
The hippest and the grooviest you ever did have
Everybody's waiting, they're all congregating
Waiting for the man with the bag” The band did their big finish and ended as the audience applauded.
“Okay, take five,” Floyd told his fellow musicians. “Miss Fatback’s on.”
