Chapter 9
It was time for the next show, and Animal was about to go on.
"Well, it's time for my next solo", said Animal, "Wish me luck, everybody".
"Good luck", said the other Mupepts, some sarcastically, some not.
Animal came on-stage, and started playing his violin. He sounded great.
"Now that's real violin playing", said Sam.
"Yes, it is", said Janice, "Too bad the rest won't be".
Bunsen then took his controll and started messing with Animal's violin playing.
"Oh, he's starting to make some mistakes", said Sam, "I hope he gets better".
"So do I", said the drummer.
The audience started booing at Animal.
"What is happenning?", asked Animal, who struggled to let go, but couldn't.
"BOO! BOO!", shouted the audience, who then threw rotten vegetables at Animal.
"Hey, I do not think it is my fault", said Animal, but the audiences jeers obscurred his defense. The violin then blew up, and Animal was runnign backstage, screamming.
"Ahhh! Somebody get me some water!", yelled Animal.
"Here's some water", said Zoot, holding abucket.
"Oh, thank you", said Animal, relieved, who then put his hand nto the bucket, but the bucket really had gasoline in it, and Animal got blown up.
"Uh, so, uh, how do you feel?", asked Lips, nervously.
"Ohhhh, I feel hurt", complained Animal, "And I am a mess! All those vegetables have messed up my very good suit!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that", said Floyd.
"I need to go home and take a bath", said Animal, "But I also need to come back, because I have to read poetry later in the show".
Animal walked away.
"Well, it looks like we must try plan B", said Dr. Teeth.
"Definately", said Janice.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements, okay", said Pepe.
"Mee mee mee", said Beaker.
"Right on", said Clifford.
As Animal was heading out the dor, Miss Piggy suddenly showed up.
"Hey, pal!", yeled Miss Piggy, "I heard that you think I have a weight problem!"
"Actually, no", said Animal, "I like you just the way..."
But Miss Piggy didn't listen, and karate-chopped Animal.
"So, how does that make you feel?", asked Leon.
"Terrible", said Animal.
"Oh, so you don't feel better?", asked Gonzo.
"No, feel worse", said Animal.
"That's strange", said Gonzo, "I usually like that feeling".
"I don't", said Leon.
"Me either", said Animal, who then walked away, but was approached by Sal.
"All right, I heard that you've been trying to assassinate Johnny Fiama", said Sal, "I'll get you for that!"
Before Animal could say anything, Sal beat up Animal, and then threw him out the door. Animal got hit by a bus.
"Ouch!", cried Animal, "That hurt, but at least I have caught a bus......"
The others watched Animal get on the bus.
"Well, he's not back to normal yet", said Floyd.
"He may not be, okay", said Pepe, "But I have replaced his pills with red hot candy. I also painted the red hots white, okay!"
"Hopefully, he'll like that", said Floyd.
Animal came home, wahsed his clothes and took a bath. Then he went to take his pils.
"It is pill time for me", said Animal, "I must take my two pills before going back to the show".
Animal took his two "pils", but the red hots made his mouth really hot. Animal screamed.
"I need a drink!", yelled Animal.
"I cummin!", said The Swedish Chef, who made soem tea but put really spicey sauce into the tea, "Hure you gi".
"Oh, thank you", said Animal, who drank the tea, but then screamed louder.
"Haw det feel?", asked The Swedish Chef.
"Oh, it feels awful", said Animal.
"I'll make that better", said Crazy Harry, who blew up Animal, "Did you like that?"
"Uh, no", said Animal.
Animal came back to the theater.
"So, Animal, did you take your pills?", asked Janice.
"Oh, yes", said Animal, "And boy it was painful!"
Behemoth then ganged up on Animal and ate him whole.
"Ew, yuck!", said Animal, "Get me out of here at once!"
"Don't you like it in there?", asked Behemoth.
"No, I do not", complained Animal, "And please, do not talk with your mouth full!"
"Not until you get back to normal", said Behemoth.
"Oh, that new drummer was right!", said Animal, "You all are trying to bring me back to my normal ways. Ohhhh, and I think I am going to get sick...."
Animal then threw up, inside of Behemoth.
"Yuck!", said Behemoth, who then spit Animal out.
"Oh, whata releif", said Animal.
Marvin Suggs then showed p.
"I can't find my Muppaphones", said Marvin, "I'll just use you for practice".
Marvin Suggs then hit Animal on the head.
"Hey, cut it out!", said Animal.
"All right", said Fozzie, who took a pair of scissors and attempted to cut Animal.
"Ahhh! You're all insane!", cried Animal.
Animal ran and accidently sliped down the stairs. The Newsman then ran up to Animal.
"Here is a Mupet News Flash! A heard of buffalos are about to stampede over Animal!"
A heard of buffalo did run and stampede over Animal, but they also ran over the Newsman.
"Ugh! They didn't tel me about this part", said The Newsman.
The Zuccinni Brothers then picked up Animal.
"All right", said one of the Zuccinni brothers, "You are assisting us tonight!"
The Zuccinni brothers dragged Animal on-stage and forced him into the cannon.
"Help!", yelled Animal.
"Let's begin the firing!", said one of the Zuccinni brothers.
Sam the Eagle ran on-stage.
"Wait! You can't do this to......"
But Sam had gotten in the way of the cannon, and Animal was fired at Sam, and both were sent flying to the theater wall.
Kermit ran on-stage.
"Maybe that was taking it a bit too far", said Kermit, "Hey, Sam! Animal! Are you two okay?"
"I'm okay", said Sam, "But I think Animal might be dead."
Animal was rushed to the hospital.
"Oh, dear", said Janice, "We may have gone too far".
"I feel very bad about all of this",s aid Dr. Teeth.
"So do I", said Zoot.
"I just hope that Animal is okay.
The doctor walked up to them.
"Animal will be okay", said the doctor, "We just had to electroshock him a few times. He actually liked it."
"Really", said all of them.
More of the Muppets came to the hospital.
"Well, the show's over", said Leon.
"Is Animal better?", asked Kermit.
"Oh, yes he is", said Floyd.
They all walked into Animal's room.
"So, how are ya feeling?", asked Floyd.
"MORE! MORE!", screamed Animal.
"Oh, did you like that electroshocking?", asked Floyd.
"YES!", yeled Animal, "And the cannon blast!"
"He's back to normal!", said Clifford.
"Oh, great", said Rowlf.
"I guess this means you can't play the drums in our band anymore", said Janice to the drummer.
"Oh, rats", said the drummer.
"Hiiiiiiii, everybody....", said Animal.
Sam showed up and gave Animal his violin.
"Here is your violin",s aid Sam, "Don't give in to being your old self again!"
Animal then ate the violin.
"Ugh, you're back to normal", said Sam, disgusted.
"It's great to have you back", said Fozzie.
"That is right", said Scooter.
"And when you get out of the hospital, you can play the drums on the next show!", said Kermit.
"Fer sure!", said Janice.
And soon it was the next show after Animal got out of the hospital. The band was performing "1985".
"Bring back Springstein, Madonna, waiting for nirvanna", sung Janice.
"Now it's U2, and Blondie, and music stil on MTV", sung Floyd.
"Her two kids, in high school", sung Dr. Teeth.
"They tell her that she's uncool", sung Janice.
"'Cause she's still preoccupied", sung Floyd.
"WITH 19, 19, 1985!", yelled Animal.
Animal then took a solo. The audience cheered.
"So, do you think Animal's better as his old self?", asked Waldorf.
"Well, I wouldn't cast him in Shakespear", said Statler.
Statler and Waldorf then laughed.
