Intervention
A sudden shadow fell across the window, blocking all light in the room. The muppets looked up, startled.
"Who's there?" Gonzo called out.
The shadow pulled the skirt of her dress in closer to her legs, trying to let some light in. Then she bent down so they could see her face.
"It's just me, guys," Gina said.
"Gina!" the muppets shouted.
Miss Piggy lifted her head. "Gina?" she said softly.
"Hey, Gina. You wanna give us a hand?" Floyd asked.
Gina smiled. "It was awfully nice of Mr. Galt not to have any bars in this window, don't you think?" she said as she half-climbed, half-fell into the room. Then she stood up straight, saying, "We'll have to remember to thank him for that."
Robin looked her over. "Wow," he said.
Wow indeed. Gina felt the eyes of everyone in the room examining her from from head toe.
Her white high-heels were just a tad scuffed. The skirt of her white silk dress was lightly puffed out. The well-fitted bodice had a beautiful lace collar. The sleeves were cut to just above her elbows. Her long black hair had been elaborately swept up into a bundle of curls, with a long white veil trailing down her back. The only jewelery she wore was a single gold band on the third finger of her left hand.
She shifted her weight, uncomfortable. "I... I told you, I was... I was at the wedding..."
"But, Gina..." Fozzie said.
"You never told us it was your wedding," Rowlf said.
The muppets nodded. Gina turned, noticed the keys hanging behind her, picked them up, and walked to Dr. Teeth's cell, talking as she did.
"You called after the ceremony was over. The reception isn't for another couple of hours. And besides, what's done is done. I already left. I'm just as married now as I would have been if I'd stayed."
And with that, the conversation was closed for discussion.
Gina fumbled through the keys, unlocking and opening each cell door, taking Robin and Camilla down from their cages.
She got to Miss Piggy's cell last. She undid the lock, opened the door, and looked to the back of the cell, where the pig was still lying on the pile of rags.
"Oh my gosh," Gina said. She rushed over and knelt by Miss Piggy's side, grabbing a rag and trying to clean the wounds Kermit hadn't been able to get to. Rowlf and Fozzie helped. They couldn't do very much to actually heal Miss Piggy, but at least she didn't look as terrible as when Galt had first thrown her into the cell, and her strength was rebuilding.
They got her sitting up and were about to see if she could maybe stand when they heard the door slam open behind them.
