Fan Fic - And what is on the other side...?

[Beauregard]

Yeah, I figured, A Cantus song in Dr Teeth's voice with the Electric Mayhem. Too good to be missed...

 

[TogetherAgain]

Absolutely incredible, Beau. Absolutely incredible. The Cantus song... wow. Totally unexpected and amazing. And the MTM reference... Very cool. And you really hit my weak spot with the Robin-Kermit interchange. The whole... ok, I'm in love with the story. Have I mentioned that yet?

...um... yeah... More story, please! Because I just can't wait to see what Kermit, Skeeter, Robin, and Sam are going to do about Mrs. Nancy, and when they'll all get back together, and um.... yeah. MORE! Please.

 

[Beauregard]

Well...really, relly, I promise it will come to an end soon. We are in the final rush towards teh finish....more when i get time....the clock is ticking!

 

[Beauregard]

Well...when my sections get smaller, it means I'm rushing around after a dozen charcters in a dozen places, which means, we are on our final destination flight towards the end. Surely not many more posts to go....

Gonzo and Rowlf broke their gaze away from the screen where the Electric Mayhem had swung into a song. They had to find a way to get the machine open, and as one the two began serching. If they could open it, they could maybe get some answers. But as far as they could see there were no scews holding the machine together, and the joints were tighly vacuum sealed, black casing to black casing. Without so much as a nail-file to try and crack them open Gonzo and Rowlf were stumped.

"We're stumped," Rowlf said.

"No we're not!" Gonzo cried. "Look!"

"What? Where?"

"Ahh...nothing. I always wanted to say that."

"Gonzo..."

Gonzo shrugged. "We're stumped," he said.

Rowlf scratched his ear. "Yeah," he said. He glanced over at the Rainbow. "Got any ideas my shimmery friend? I thought not. He's stumped too."

Gonzo tapped his fingers impatiently against the edge of his nose. There had to be someway to open it...Bunsen would figure it out, if only he was here... "I've got it!" Gonzo shouted. "He is here!"

Rowlf turned quickly to look over his shoulder. "Who?"

"Bunsen is here, he can figure it," Gonzo said. "He'll get it open in a jiffy."

Rowlf frowned, then understood. He looked at the screen. "Not here," he said. "There."

(")(')(")(')(")

Fozzie Bear was confused. "So you're saying the little, wooden heart things are causing all the trouble?"

"No, the little hard-hearted Nancy-woman is," Miss Piggy muttered.

"Yes," Beauhoth said, throwing a patronising glare at Miss Piggy. "Yes, they are. My Father entrusted the Sarced Wooden Hearts to me, and I, I lost them to her. I knew it was going to happen. She wanted them so much, and nothing would stop that woman. Reminds me of someone..." He looked at Piggy.

Scooter folded his arms. "If you are right," he said.

"I am."

"Then all we need to do is get the hearts back from Miss Nancy. She's in the tower, let's go get her."

Beautingleroth spoke up. "What about Beauregard?"

He was still unconcious. He looked small, crumpled on the cold floor.

"We shall have to leave him," Beauhoth said. "Right now it's all we can do. Beautingleroth, you must run to the village. Find a doctor, or a woman who can help him. They may be stirred by what I said, or they may think they imagined it. Either way, try to convince them that Beauhoth is back, and is asking for help."

"What if they still hate you?" Beautingleroth said. "They still loved Mrs Nancy."

"If they do...then all may be lost."

"No," Piggy said, shaking her head. "Not yet."

"Agreed," Beauhoth said. "Miss Piggy, Scooter, Fozzie, you three come with me and we'll get Mrs Nancy."

"Shouldn't Fozzie stay with Beauregard?" Piggy asked.

Beauhoth started walking towards the door. "If we will stop Mrs Nancy," he called over his shoulder. "We need all the man power we can get."

Zoot figured it was remnants of a particularly strange dream when a streatching image of Gonzo's face shimmered across his music-sheets. He blinked, and blew the mellow notes from his sax. Dangit...he hit the wrong note, the fuzzy image was obscuring his vision. He waved a hand to shift it. The image floated away again.

Animal crashed, smached, and clashed the drums out at the back of the room. A familiar brown face moved over his cymbols and his eyes widened. The image blinked and started to speak. "FREAK OUT! FREAK OUT! FREAK OUT!" Animal shouted, and he smashed the cymbol again and again until the image went away. Then he dropped back to a gentle rythem, broken by unexpected bangings of his feet against thebass drum.

Dr Teeth was begining to worry about his main band. first Zoot hit wrong notes, then Animal went crazed. Ok, admittedly a crazed Animal was no surprise, but...Say wha? His green fingers were waltzing with the keys, but, what was this? Gonzo's face...oh boy...things were strange...

"Woah man!" Floyd shouted, dropping his guitar which hung swining from the cord around his neck.

"Like, what is the Ahhhh! Ghosts!"

(6)(9)(6)(9)(6)(9)

"Good, we got their attention," Rowlf said.

"Yeah, and, cool, that ivory tickling does tickle," Gonzo added.

The machine could transport through the rainbow, the much had been obvious from the start, but how it happened, they didn't know. They did know, though, that there was another system that could send an image and a message of themselves through to the other wiorld, as Mrs Nancy had done when they were falling down the radish-rubish chute. Gonzo had fiddled with the controls for a little while, and then Rowlf had put them back to rights and got it working.

Gonzo had begged Rowlf to let him send a message to Pepe telling him in a ghostly voice to build a jacuzzi, but Rowlf had reminded him that business comes before pleasure. And they had decided to get the attention of the Electric Mayhem instead.

Now they had it.

But they hadn't noticed that on the heart-beat like monitor the blips were racing far to fast, and far to high. Behind them the Rainbow began to shiver.

(!)(?)(.)(.)(?)(!)

Janice's mouth hung open as the 'ghost' of Rowlf started to speak to her. "I am not a ghost," it said.

"Like, Floyd, are you seeing this?"

"Listen, I am not a ghost," Rowlf repeated.

"That's what they all say," Floyd said. "Back away honey, slowly."

"Ten four, ten four," came the excited, playfull voice of Gonzo the Great. "Gonzo to Mayhem tango, over."

His face moved large into the middle of the room, spinning slowly clockwise. "Whoo, this is cool. Animal, Teeth, Janice, everyone, listen. We got a problem."

Gonzo's face was replaced by that of Rowlf. His paws were moving over what seemed like some kind of control. "Guys, are you there?"

Dr Teeth stood up and moved forward. "We're seeing you," he said.

"Coming in loud and clear," Floyd added quickly.

"Fer sure, "Janice added timidly.

"ROWLF! ROWLF!" Animal added loudly.

"Good," Rowlf said. "Go and get Dr Bunsen and his assitent..."

"...Beaker," Gonzo finished.

"We need..."

"...to move get them here with..."

"...us on the other side..."

Then static.

"What was that all about?" Lips asked.

Dr Teeth tapped his fingers together. "I don'no, but I do know we should get that Bunsen and his Beaker friend here in many hurries."

Janice left to find them, looking over her shoulder once more at the static that had apeared where Rowlf and Gonzo had been.

"..Rainbow," Gonzo finished, reapearing.

Janice shut the door.

When she returned with the scientist and his assistent, Rowlf was the one speaking. "Beauregard...*static*...trans...*static*...bow."

Bunsen stared appreciativly at the technalogical marvel of flaoting heads. "Oh my!"

Beaker started apprehensivly at Bunsen, knowing his thoughts. "Mee my..."

Then cross hairs appeared where Rowlf had been, centering on Bunsen. In a moment he was gone. Next, Beaker. Then silence.

"Wow," Janice said. "Wow, like, I always knew the rainbow...we can get behind it."

)()()()()()()(

"We did it!" Gonzo shouted, as Bunsen fell through the black mirror into the room. "Yo, Buns, we need your help."

Suddenly, Rowlf caught sight of the heart-beat-monitor. The blips were escallating to an all time high. The red line shot up and down, up and down, up and down. Rowlf caled Gonzo. Gonzo turned. The blip. The line. Beaker, he appeared. The line, it stopped...

The Rainbow fell. It hit the floor. Smashed. Shards cracked out on the floor...and a small Wooden Heart lay where the rainbow had been.

All went dark.

 

[The Count]

Huh? Well... If you mean that your segments are going to get shorter... By which means that'll imply posting the same story segment twice.
If you reread the segment posted above, you'll note that the whole bit with Gonzo and Rowlf trying to break open the machine and Piggy and the others going to get Mrs. Nancy is repeated again.

Just letting you know Bo. Other than that, twas a great addition to the story and we're all anticipating the End.
So, which heart was there under the rainbow? One down and four to go... And three bands of Muppets to be reunited, four if you count them getting all Together Again back at the MBH.

 

[Beauregard]

Sorry! My mistake! I'm trying to keep track of everybody...and didn't mean to post the same thing(ish) twice...forgive me! I'll try and keep better track. But then again...could you ever have too much?

 

[The Count]

Don't worry bout it Bo. S'okay by me. As for could we ever have too much? Well, maybe not Lisa.

Sorry, couldn't resist especially since she's not here right now.


Just post the next part when it's ready my friend.

 

[TogetherAgain]

Ah, but I'm here now! You're right, Count, I could NEVER have too much!

And I love it, Beau, as usual. It's amazing. I would be at the edge of my seat if my seat had an edge. (I'm on one of those exercise ball things...) But anyway! The rainbow! It broke! GAH! But a heart. A heart inside the rainbow. Oh now I'm dying of curiosity over here, Beau, you have to tell me more! please.

And by the way, I absolutely LOVE Janice's line of "we can get behind it". That's just awesome.

 

[TogetherAgain]

Now that I've lost my edit button. Growl.

Beauregard, I was cruel, and you punished me harshly. But the punishment is backfiring.

I am here to nag. I want more. Come on, tell us! Which heart was in the rainbow? And I loved how Rowlf talked to the rainbow, by the way, that was awesome. And the bit with Gonzo wanting to tell Pepe to build a jacuzzi was funny. But what heart was in the rainbow? And what are they going to do now? Can they still save the rainbow? Oh please tell me it's not too late. Please. And I loved the Electric Mayhem's reactions to Rowlf and Gonzo. Very awesome. And what about Kermit, and Skeeter, and Robin, and Sam? What are they going to do with Mrs. Nancy? Did everything go dark everywhere in Raenbu? Or just in the control room thingy? Is Beauregard okay? Can they find a doctor? Is anyone on Beauhoth's side? Is THE rainbow going to get it's color back? Or is it a darkbow forever? Come on, Beau, tell tell tell!

 

[Beauregard]

"Awaken Beauregard. Awake. You must hurry. Wake up."

His eyelids twitched. He moved his head. His cap slipped ever so slighty to one side.

"Beauregard, listen to me. I need you to wake up now. Forget Mrs Nancy. Forget the color of their hands. Awaken. Awaken. Awaken."

His eyes opened fast, frightened. His pupils were pinpricks.

"No. Do not fear. Relax, Beauregard. Relax."

He was staring up into complete darkness. He could see no one, there was no light. Beauregard laid his hands against the tiles. yes, he could still feel. He could still move. He pushed himself up to sitting. Nothing. His head pounded with a headache.

"Beau. Can I call you Beau? I need your help, Beau."

"Where are you?" Beau asked. Was he imagining things again? "Who?"

"Right here. You can feel me. A lightness in your mind."

Beauregard pressed his hand to his head. He strightened his cap. "I feel you," he said. "Warmth."

"Good. Now get up. There is something you must do."

(\)(|)(-)(+)(-)(|)(/)

All went dark.

Gonzo, Rowlf, and Bunsen stared at the place the Rainbow had been on the floor. The broken shards had sputtered out like candles. Gonzo was sure he'd seen something like a heart, but it had been too quick to tell.

"Rowlf?" came the uncertain voice of Bunsen. "Are you here?"

"I sure am, Mr Honeydew. Right behind you." Rowlf felt forward, and placed his paw on Bunsen's arm. Bunsen pulled away, then grabbed Rowlf's hand.

"I am so glad. What is this place?"

"Mee, mee, mee!" It was Beaker. So he had arrived safely. "Mee, mou!"

"Ah, beakie! I am tickled pink to hear your...voice. Where are you?"

"Mee mere!"

"He's over there," Gonzo said, and he stumbled forward through the thick darkness toward the sound.

"Mee, mee, MEE!" Beaker exclaimed. "Me!"

"It will be alright, Beakie. We've been in the dark before...Remember the time that you volenteered to try the day-glow sunglases and burt your retinas..."

"Moo, mou."

"Yes, but, we got them sorted with a little time and electricity."

Gonzo carefully stepped forward, onto something soft. "Mee! Mee! Me, mo, mu, mY!" It was Beaker's toe, obviously. He jumped back, and landed on a device rather more hard, and pointy, and painfull than Beaker's toe.

"Ouch, cool. I mean, that was very..."

"...stimulating?" Bunsen offered.

"Painfull," Gonzo said.

"What happened?" Rowlf asked. He was getting tired of this darkness nonsence. His doggy eyes were begining to pick out shapes in the darkness, but nothing definate.

"Felt like a diver's head-lamp conecting with the sole of my foot," Gonzo said.

"Where..." Rowlf began. It was Skeeter's. She must have dropped it when she colided with Sam.

Gonzo snatched it up, and switched it on. The beam of light illuminated the room. And the machine.

(#)(#)(#)(#)(#)

Skeeter had been striding across the room towards Mrs Nancy when the lights went out. Kermit and Robin were siluetted for a split-second in the doorway, then complete darkness had fallen.

"Uncle Kermit?" Robin said. "Was that...is the rainbow gone?"

Kermit shook his head. "No Robin. It's still alive. I would feel if it were gone."

Skeeter looked at the high window. No stars twinkled like an earth night. There was only darkness.

"This is outragous," Sam's booming voice said. "Someone find the lightswitch. This is not the time for silly jokes."

"We need to talk to Mrs Nancy," Skeeter said. She crouched, and felt forward with her hands until they touched the soft silk of Mrs Nancy's clothing. Skeeter shuffled closer, and shook Mrs Nancy gently. "Wake up," she said. "Kermit can you get over here?"

"I can try." Kermit said. She heard a thud. "I can try the other direction..." Kermit muttered.

A thin slanted streak of light appeared as Mrs Nancy's eyeslids opened in slits. Skeeter threw herself back, alarmed. The beam widened, as Mrs Nancy's eyes opened. The light shone from her eyes. "Well, well, well," her parched voice said. "I hope you've come to rescue me."

Robin clung to Kermit's neck. Skeeter stood up wareily. Sam marched into the room. "Better," he said. "But if we could return the main lighting to the room, it would seem much more suited for females and males together."

"You are wondering why I am here," Mrs Nancy said. "Of course you are. The truth is, Beauhoth has been manipulating me, and now he's thrown me into here."

"Nice try," Skeeter retorted.

"Mrs Nancy, I know about you," Kermit said. "My Nephew told me about you, and I don't believe a word."

"Oh fine, fine. I had to try it though, didn't I," Mrs Nancy yanked at the chains on her wrists. "Let me go, or I'll hurt you."

Skeeter leant against the wall. "Your eyes," she said. "Why?"

"Why are they light? Because, my dear, I have something the rest of you are going without. I have the heart of life, and it makes me stronger, brighter, alive, while you small unimportant outsiders have nothing."

"We do too," Robin shouted.

Mrs Nancy turned her glowing eyes towards him. "Oh, and what is that, pray?"

"We have...each other. And we have happiness. And we have, all kinds of things you don't even know, Mrs Nancy. We have love, hope."

"Ah, hope. Hope is wrong, frog boy. Forget hope. I never hope, I take." She snarled and leapt to her feet. The Heart of Life pulsed strong. Her eyes flashed. Fists clenched. And she swung, ripping the chains from their iron holdings. "I told you I was stronger! But you never beleived me!"

(-)(=)(-)(=)(-)

"Look ahead," Miss Piggy shouted. "Lights, under that door."

"The tower room," Beauhoth said, pushing forward, one hand on the wall to stedy himself in the darkness. "Mrs Nancy."

"Looks dangerous," Scooter said, jogging behind.

"Yes, we should be caucious," said Beauhoth.

"I'm not afraid of the dark, I'm not afraid of the dark," Fozzie repeated to himself. "I am. I am afraid of the dark!"

They came to a halt in front of the tower room. They heard Mrs Nancy shouting, and a crunch as bricks were broken, chains ripped. Miss Piggy shoved Beauhoth aside, and smashed the door open. "Alright," she shouted. "What's going on?"

Then five things happened at once. Kermit heard Miss Piggy's voice and turned quickly. Robin lost his grip and tripped from Kermit's onto the floor. Scooter remembered his diver's light and switched it on flooding the room with light. Miss Piggy skidded to a sudden stop and lost her footing and collided with Mrs Nancy. Mrs Nancy leapt high into the air in a double spin, knocking Piggy to the floor, and landing in front of Beauhoth.

The chains on her arms whirled. "Beauhoth..." she snarled. "Back so soon?"

Robin rolled to a stop by her feet. Without a thought he grabbed them and hung on as she kicked to release him. Beauhoth leapt for her throat, and his body hit her shoulder throwing her backwards onto the floor.

Skeeter took one look at the driver's light and he brother and backflipped across the room to him, stopping in a perfect Kung-Fo position. "Ready Scoot?" she asked.

"Always," Scooter replied.

(")(`)(")(`)(")

Beautingleroth ran through the cobbled streets. He could hear screams from distent houses, and sobbing from somewhere nearby. ootsteps constantly rushed past him and people fled, none of them sure of a destination except some place else.

Flame tourches were being lit from cooking fires. Flickering shadows covered every wall and window pane.

He turned a corner and dashed towards his house, laying weight on his cane and propelling himself forwards. At his door, he came face to face with his wife. Her face was white with fear. "I was going to run, but where?" she said. Beautingleroth caught her in his arms. She started sobbing. "I'm so afraid," she said.

"You must be brave," Beautingleroth said. "Beauregard needs you."

"Beauregard?" She pulled back. "He is back too?"

"There is a lot I need to explain. But your son, our son needs your help."

"But I..."

"You banished him, yes. And I know you didn't know. This is all a result...I need your help."

Mrs Regard pushed back tears. "I ws always so sorry," she said. "Where is he?"

"At the castle. We have to go now."

(*)(*)(*)(*)

Beauregard took the stone steps one at a time. In the complete darkness, he knew exactly where he was going. "Stop here."

Beau stopped. He went right along a small corridor. "Where next?" he asked.

"To get the Heart of Time," said the voice. "I'm holding it back, but I only have three minutes more. Hurry. Hurry. Hurry..."
