Chapter 2
Chaos ensued in the Muppet theater, but that of course was normal. Everyone was doing what they did best, The Swedish Chef was cooking, Rizzo and Pepe were trying to steal the food, Johnny Fiama was practicing a song with Rowlf playing the piano and Sal needlessly guarding Johnny. Beaker was hiding, hoping that Bunsen wouldn't be able to find him to test another experiment on, and Clifford was on vacation, leaving Beauregard to change the light. All of a sudden Beaker heard a voice, "Oh Beakie, there you are, I was just trying out Muppet Lab's new Invisibility spray, and wanted to know if you'll help me make some finishing...", but before the invisible voice could continue Beaker ran off to hide someplace else. Up on the balcony, where Bunsen was calling to Beaker from, Bunsen was shocked to find that bot Statler and Waldorf were both willing to try it out. "Anything to help us sneak up on Fozzie to heckle him better." Waldorf said, "Anything to help us hide from having to go to another show." Statler said, "Doh ho ho ho".
Backstage Kermit was going over today's schedule when Beaker nearly ran him over when he was going by, "Sheesh, Beaker, cool it. This isn't The Battle Of The Muppet All-Stars, this is the Muppet theater". Just then Scooter came rushing down the stairs, "Kermit, do you remember our old Wardrobe mistress Hilda", "Yeah", Kermit said, "why?". Scooter, turned the small TV on, "You've got to see this.". The news was on and the Muppet Newsman was there talking about the death at the Retired Muppet Apartment Building, "Now, here to talk to us about violence is one of Hilda's oldest friends, Mildred Huxtetter, PHD, GED, RSVP, IOU, DVD". "Yes, I think it's wonderful that they're thinking of it, there should definately be more violets on television.", Mildred said. "Not violets, violence as in shooting off a gun and what happened to your friend.", exclaimed the Newsman. "Oh, that's very different, never mind", Mildred said, giving a sheepish laugh. "And there, you have it, in other news The Muppet Show Season 1 Box Set has been a smash hit and, WHAT AM I SAYING!!!!", yelled the Newsman as a pile of DVDs fell on top of him.
"I don't believe this", Kermit said as he shut off the TV. "Well, it was a very good series", assured Scooter. "Not that", Kermit said, "I mean Hilda, just yesterday I was down at the FMO visiting a couple of old friends and as a guest speaker, and she seemed just fine then, with no thoughts of death in her future and now...", Kermit lookd down sadly. "When's the funeral?", "Tuesday", Scooter said. "Good", said Kermit, "We'll take the day off thst day and show up, the whole gang, it's what she would have wanted." "Call a group meeting."
