Calling All Muppets
Kermit hung up the phone witha huge smile on his face. He couldn't help it. He threw his arms up and waved them around in the air, shouting a good loud "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!"
Fozzie, Gonzo, and Rizzo leaned forward between Rowlf and Kermit's seats. Miss Piggy peaked over and around the other side of Kermit's seat.
"What is it?" Gonzo asked.
"Tell us!" Fozzie said.
"Kermie, what happened?" Miss Piggy asked.
They were all excited. Kermit hadn't even smiled since that phone call he got at the theater. But now he was so happy, they almost had to wonder if he was even the same frog.
"Rowlf?" Kermit said. "Start the car. We're going to Hens Inn in Castle Rock. Ramon is going to take Robin for some breakfast, and then he'll meet us there."
Rowlf obediently started the car. "Who's Ramon?" he asked.
"Some guy who found Robin this morning," Kermit said. "It sounds to me like he's taking good care of Robin."
"He's taking him for breakfast?" Rizzo said. " 'Cause breakfast sure sounds good."
"How could you be thinking about food?!?" Kermit said. "We're about to save Robin!"
Gonzo turned to Rizzo. "Don't answer," he said quietly.
"Oh, Kermie, that's wonderful!" Miss Piggy gushed.
"Don't you have to tell Scooter?" Fozzie asked.
"Yeah!" Kermit said, dialing excitedly.

Scooter was feeling just a little bit better now that there was a little more pandemonium at the theater. He was still playing Monopoly with Sam, but now they had an audience of ducks, and Beauregard was taking care of a few burnt out lightbulbs.
"Hey Sam?" Scooter said. "How many lightbulbs does it take to change a Beauregard?"
Just then the Swedish Chef walked in. "I need a doocky. Bork bork bork!" he said. "Cume-a here-a, doocky! I need tu cuuk yuoo!" And with that, he started chasing all twenty ducks with a cleaver.
Ring ring
Scooter reached for the phone. "Hello, Muppet Theater," he said.
"Scooter, we're meeting Robin at Hens Inn in Castle Rock!" Kermit said.
"Oh, that's great, Boss!" Scooter said. "I knew you'd find him first!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We'll meet you there, man!" Floyd said. He hung up the pay phone and ran for the bus.
"What's shakin'?" Dr. Teeth asked.
"We're meeting Robin and some Ramon guy in Castle Rock at a place called Hens Inn," Floyd said.
"HENS INN! HENS INN!" Animal shouted.
"Alright!" Dr. Teeth said, and the bus roared off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clifford heard a crash and ran towards the car. Sure enough, the entire back end of the convertible had been smashed. Johnny, Sal, and Pepe were standing around in shock.
"It's still driveable," Clifford said. "Come on, we gotta get goin."
"What did Kermin say?" Pepe asked.
"We're meeting Robin at the Hens Inn in Castle Rock," Clifford said as he got in the car.
The others got in the car as well, and Sal drove off at full speed.
"Waaaah!" Pepe shrieked as he flew out the back. Clifford caught him in mid-air.
"Man, when are you gonna learn to wear your seat belt?" he said, putting Pepe back down. "Crazy shrimp."
"King Prawn," Pepe said, putting oh his seat belt.

"Off we go!" Bunsen said.
"Where are we heading?" Sweetums asked.
"Castle Rock," Bunsen said. "We're meeting Robin at the Hens Inn. Beakie, why don't you turn on the extra engine?"
"Mee mou!" Beaker opened the glove box and hit a large, round, red button. His seat immediately folded up, squishing him as the car doubled its speed.

Robin was on the back seat of Ramon's motorcycle, rolling into Kiowa. Ramon had insisted that Robin wear his helmet, even though it covered almost his entire body. He held onto Ramon's belt and tried to ignore the deafening roar of the engine. He thought instead of seeing Uncle Kermit again, letting Ramon's words echo in his mind.
You're going home, little buddy.
They pulled into the parking lot of a place called The Biscuit. Ramon put the bike on its kick stand and swung himself off, being careful not to kick his passenger. Then he picked the frog up and took the helmet off.
"Now, was that fun?" he said.
"Yeah, Robin said, "It kinda was. Much better than when I got a ride with a deer."
Ramon smiled. "A dear what?" he said. "Come on, let's get some breakfast."
