A Very Muppet Double Sided Christmas!
Summary: It seems like a standard Christmas rehearsal at the Muppet theater. Until a strange group of vaguely familiar people get snowed in with the Muppets. And questions and confusion erupt.
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING AT ALL!!
Author’s Note: Ok so, this is a previous idea I’ve had before, but I wasn’t happy with the previous version. So I decided to rewrite it into something similar but a little different. And I realize that this is a...well...a different type of story. But I thought I'd try and post it, just to see what people thought. constructive criticism only please! Try to have an open mind!
Ch.1
“That was great everyone! Really nice!!” Kermit shouted out as the small group finished rehearsing the final act for their Christmas special with guest star ‘Mickey Rooney’ Looked around the stage at all his friends very thankful to have them as Fozzie spoke up smoothing out his Christmas sweater
“This is great, where going to have the best Christmas ever!” Gonzo smiled as the group gathered on the stage as Scooter brought out a tray of homemade cookies and fudge, “We sure will boss! And look my Aunt sent her famous holiday treats for us!”
Kermit patted him on the shoulder “that was so nice of her Scooter.” Bringing out a few chairs the small group, which included Fozzie, Scooter, Rowlf, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and The Electric Mayhem, all decided to stay for a while longer and talk. “Like your solo will be totally sweet Zoot!” Janice exclaimed in excitement to Zoot who blushed from him spot on the floor.
Floyd laughed clapping him on the shoulder as he kept an eye on animal who was gobbling up a cookie “AH!! You embarrassed him babe!” watching the groups interaction Kermit chuckled as Miss Piggy scooted closer to him “Kermy dear…we should go try to find some mistletoe for vou and moue.”
Going wide eyed Kermit chuckled nervously in slight embarrassment as Rowlf and Fozzie snorted looking away to avoid the pigs wrath, lost in the warmth and peace of the twenty third of December, with the lights and the snow outside the group felt so close. Like nothing could ever go wrong, like this moment would never end, until Scooter stopped his in depth conversation with Fozzie as he stood up abruptly starring out at the audience pit and asked in slight fear.
“Boss…What’s that?” at the suddenness of this strange question the group stood up slowly walking across the stage. For what they saw was a dull light that seemed to come out of the wall in the back of the theater.
“what is that Kermit?” Fozzie asked backing up as the light grew in intensity. Trying to think logically Kermit spoke not wanting everyone to grow scared and freak out “It’s probably just the lighting.”
But as the group watched it slowly became aware that it wasn’t the lighting as Dr. Teeth pointed out “Frog boss, that ain’t the wiring.” as the intensity of the situation grew the group screamed in horror as a large bus suddenly careened into the middle of the theater out of nowhere.
“RUN!!! EVERYBODY OUTTA THE WAY!!!” in record speed the Muppets ran across the stage as the bus crashed through rows of velvet red seats before it turned suddenly as the driver tried in vain to not hit the stage but the Muppets stared in horror and fear as the bus hit the orchestra’s pit and turned over.
Everyone was silent for a moment trying to absorb what just happened. No one spoke as they turned to look at Kermit waiting for his leadership. The frog looked around at all his friends before he let out a nervous disbelief laugh and started forward “It’s alright everyone…we’ll sort this out. But we have to make sure no one was hurt.”
They slowly walked across the stage but stopped as the emergency hatch fell open and a thin average heighted man stumbled out. Taking a few steps back the man ran a hand through his dark brown hair as he stared at the over turned bus, as though he were in shock. The poor guy was pale and shaky.
“Look a man’s getting out!” Rowlf whispered in a low shout, Kermit nodded “Poor guy looks so spooked.” Fozzie pointed out speaking up “look, someone else is climbing out!” Sure enough, a second man climbed out, wearing a dull green winter coat, and a purple scarf. But because he had his hood up the Muppets couldn’t see his face.
“THAT WAS SO COOL!!! We HAVE to try that again!” the mystery man shouted pumping his fist in the air. The first man clenched both fists and leaned forward in anger as he shouted “THIS ISN’T FUNNY GONZO!!!!” the Muppets jumped in surprise as Gonzo chuckled “Hey he has my name, cool!” thinking that made sense the Muppets continued to watch as more people climbed out of the bus.
' There was a tall thin woman with shoulder length straight blond hair, big lips wearing a Christmas themed sweater that hung off one shoulder. Then another man with long red hair tied back, with a thick mustache he wore a green hat dark blue jeans and a jean jacket. The first thing this man did was hug the blond in what looked like a loving embrace.
Next was a chunky bald man with round glasses and a white lab coat over a brown button up sweater. The Muppets noticed how he put a hand over his mouth and detached himself from his friends. Afterwards was a tall thin man with a pure white complexion, a narrow face, long nose, dark sunglasses blue hat and shoulder length curly blue hair. He wore a white long sleeved button up, black jeans and a colorful shawl wrapped around his shoulders.
The Muppets exchanged looks all thinking the same thing; the more people that exited the bus the more eerily familiar they grew. But wanting not to freak out, no one said anything as they elected to continue to watch hopping for a logical explanation.
The blue haired man tripped on his way out apparently distraught, the red headed man jumped forward and wrapped his arm around him to steady his friend. The strangers weren’t talking very loud for the Muppets to hear, but they could at least see the interactions between them all. The strangers seemed to look around confused as they spoke to each other, the Muppets where about to walk forward when the blond jumped and shrieked “LIKE OH NO!!! EUGENE AND CALLY!!!”
the red headed man grew wide eyed before he bolted back onto the bus, he was gone for a second before he returned literally doubled over in laughter. Having gotten closer the Muppets could clearly hear the conversation “Oh Man! That’s to good! He’s got a death grip on you!”
A new voice suddenly erupted in an irritated voice from the bus “OW!!! OWWW! AH! GET THIS FELINE DEMON OFF ME!!!” suddenly a new man stumbled out of the bus, shaking his left leg vigorously to detach a very angry fluffy calico cat. This man was lean with long legs and shortish loose red hair half-moon pink glasses small diamond earing’s, a brown jean coat, tight blue pants and floral scarf.
This man seemed very much decorated. Clenching his teeth the new man leaned back on the bus as he let out a string of profanities. The other red haired man continued to laugh now holding onto the blond who rolled her eyes.
The man being mauled by the angry cat shot him a glare and snapped in a sassy tone “Either help me of clam up Pepper!” The blue haired man sighed and walked over to the cat man. Leaning over the man gently scratched the cat behind his ears, calming down the cat jumped off and onto the mellower man’s shoulder where he perched himself on the blue haired guys shoulders and purred satisfied.
“Aw man he tore my jeans!” the long red haired man spun on his heal and sneered “He had his nails dug right into you and all your worried about is a pair of pants?”
The other red haired man responded with a scoff “these are fifty dollar jeans!” before the two could continue to argue the first meek man stepped forward holding up both hands “Alright everyone! Alright! First of all is everyone ok?” his response was disgruntled yes’s, as the cat man scoffed sliding down to sit on the floor “Define ok boss man, my bus is totaled.”
Sending him a sympathetic smile the meek man took charge easily as he stepped up on a chair to do roll call “Ok, is everyone hear?” The Muppets went pale as the situation grew even more eerie and scary, they were each to shocked with what came next to even breath. The strangers all looked around nodding as the meek man called out getting a response with each name he called out “I’m here, Gonzo’s hear, Janice?”
The blond nodded, “like yeah.”
“Ok, um, Zoot?”
The blue haired man held up a hand answering in a quiet voice “Here”
“Floyd?” the long haired man threw an arm up “Sure am Kerm.”
Fozzie shrugged nervously, whipping his face with his tie “m-maybe…it’s just coincident.” The Muppets hoped he was right as the meek man dubbed Kerm, continued roll call. “Bunsen!”
The man in the lab coat held one hand up not making eye contact with anyone.
With a slight huff Kerm continued “And Dr. Teeth?”
The once cat man jumped up with a large grin and he spoke loudly showing off a brilliant tooth of gold, “Could of saved yourself time by just calling us the Electric Mayhem as it is Kermit my dear man!”
Letting out as shaky laugh Kermit of the Muppet’s passed out being caught by Fozzie, As the Electric Mayhem Muppets all exchanged looks of disbelief all freaking out slightly not wanting to believe what they were seeing and all wanting to get to the bottom of this elaborate mystery.
A/N: Well that's the first chapter! Um...comment and let me know what you think...should I continue?
