A Muppet Family Gathering.

[The Count]

Chapter 20.

Everybody inside was having a good time, wining and dining the night away. Everybody that is, except for an anxed amphibian. Kermit was worried at the fact that Christmas was now six days away, and there was one person who still hadn't made it to the castle. The frog ambled his way to an empty window, looking outside in the hopes of spotting her... Only the moleish janitor noticed him there at the moment, leaning on one of the staircase's lower steps.
"There'll be an awful lot of snow for me to clean up tomorrow. Arent' you glad you're all comfy cozy in here?" asked Beauregard.
"Yeah Bo... But we're not all here" Kermit sighed.
"That's one worried frog" Bo commented to himself after Kermit departed a few seconds later.
"Ah ha! That's 1, 1 vorried frog!" exclaimed the Count.

Thankfully, they were oblivious to the news that the diva was indeed on her way. She managed to convince Catherine to pick them up, only after exasperation set in when she couldn't get an extravagant limo to deliver her where the Muppets would be staying for the holidays. Catherine's towncar was OK for the few people traveling inside, though it was far from what Piggy would've liked. The porcine diva sat in the back seating area, Maureen at her elbow and Foo-Foo on her lap.
"Yes Foo-Foo darling... We'll soon be with your daddums" cooed Miss Piggy to her fluffy yet primped white poodle.
"You girls getting along back there?" queried Catherine, a slight twinge of myrth in her voice.
"Sure ting Cath... After all, Miss Piggy's one of the greatest stars of all time... I just loved her in t'at movie of hers" answered the Brooklyn-voiced mink. "You know the one... The one wit all the swimmers and t'at jool heist."
"Oh, that little film?" retorted the diva "Moi had a marvelous time filming that one."
"Weren't yoo afraid when yoo had to do t'at swimming number?"
"No dearie... That was mere child's play for a star of my natural talents."
"Right" Catherine smirked to herself in a low voice "as if she didn't need the practice."
The last remaining passenger, riding in the front seat, wasn't paying attention... She was listening to the live feed from MC Radio on her Ipod with headphones plugged into the device. Uneasy about leaving, she agreed to come when Cathy offered her a ride.
"Anything good Kathy?" asked the driver.
"Huh?" replied the other woman, taking her a moment to realize someone was talking to her.
"Said, anything good?"
"Oh yeah... Sorry, mostly Christmas Muppet music... A few other songs I programmed as well."

Carter alerted Ed and the Count that a non-descript towncar pulled up out on the front lawn, waiting for an escort into the castle's main parlor. Kermit half-perked up when he was told what was happening outside.
"Is it... Can it be? She's always gotta be the center of..." muffled voices rang out as the congregation assembled outside.
The smile on Kermit's face was wider than a Cheshire cat's and the warmth on his face could melt the snow accumulated on the castle grounds. Even if he didn't want to admit it to her, he was glad that Piggy finally made it. After the diva got her escort as part of her grand entrance, the rest of the party started to disperse. Or rather, they would have... If their ears hadn't picked up a melodious round of carollers nearing the master doomicile.

Glad to hear that Sis... Especially since your big singing scene's next.

I will try to help you in any way I can depending on what you need.

 

[The Count]

Well... What I need is a descript of what her clothes were and looked like, you know, the usual character description. Feel free to send it to me via the forum E-mailer or as a PM.
Next chapter coming soon.

Chapter 21.

The Muppet clan had just received Miss Piggy and her entourage into their fold. The whole cast would've retreated back inside... Except they heard more carollers approaching the sacred earth of the Transylvanian fortress. All they could hear at first were voices and a few honks interspersed, probably someone driving up past the entry gates. But no, it was a new troop of friends, marching all the while. Some were puzzled as to why there was a blaring beep, only to find out it was one of the Honkers accompanying the merry band. The singers paused, briefly, bestowing their well wishes for the season upon the rest of the family.

"Hey y'all... Howd' you like my accent?" called out an old friend of the Hensonville residents... A woman they hadn't seen for ages.
"Christy!" proclaimed the townspeople in unison, happy she was there with the carollers.
"OK guys... A one and a two, and a one two three" she instructed, prompting the remaining humans to start their song.
Gordon: "When Christmas time is over and presents put away, don't be sad."
Luis: "There'll be so much to treasure about this Christmas day and the fun we've had."
María: "So many happy feelings to celebrate with you, and oh, the good times hurry by so fast."
Susan: "But even when it's over there's something you can do to make Christmas last."

Miles: "Keep Christmas with you.
All through the year."
Gabriella: "When Christmas is over.
You can keep it near."
Alan: "Think of this Christmas day.
When Christmas is far away."

Gina: "Keep Christmas with you.
All through the year."
Savion: "When Christmas is over.
Save some Christmas cheer."
Olivia: "These precious moments.
Hold them very dear."
John-John: "And keep Christmas with you.
All through the year."

Bob, with Linda signing next to him: "Christmas means the spirit of giving.
Peace and joy to you.
The goodness of loving.
The gladness of living.
These are Christmas too."

Celina: "So, keep Christmas with you.
All through the year."
Ruthie: "When Christmas is over.
Save some Christmas cheer."
Lilian: "These precious moments.
Hold them very dear."
All: "And keep Christmas with you.
All through the year."

Clapping followed, just before the chorus reprised the last two verses.
Christy: "Christmas means the spirit of giving.
Peace and joy to you.
The goodness of loving.
The gladness of living.
These are Christmas too."

All: "So, keep Christmas with you.
All through the year.
When Christmas is over.
Save some Christmas cheer.
These precious moments.
Hold them very dear.
And keep Christmas with you.
All through the year."

The song finished, the entire gaggle of Muppets, Sesame Street humans, and Hensonville residents went inside for a well-deserved feast... New faces had joined the choir and were hungry, others merely nibbled on a few smaller appetizers left over from earlier in the day. All who would arrive had done so, only a few more souls were left... But they would also awake from their long slumber, making their presence known as the celebration continued past the tolling of the bells marking the lateness of the hour.

Awesome!

And it was necessary to repost the chapter to say that Bry? *Laughing a little...
Don't worry, it's OK. Made a few edits, small ones, thanks for liking the story so much especially that last chapter.

Problem is, I'm a bit stuck as to how to go with what I've planned next. Then again... Think I know what to do.
