Fan-Fic: Sometimes It's Better To Go

[redBoobergurl]

Wow, a really great chapter, and like Lisa, I must stop crying.....

And if Beth's Clock Shop is a reference to me then you rock! I supposed it could be Beth C or Whatever Beth too, but either way, it's cool. If it's just a coincidence, that's cool too!

I like how you referenced Beau's story about Robin's parents being divorced.

And all the lines from different songs from all the different movies and shows with the various major characters.

Excellent, I want more!

 

[theprawncracker]

Yes Beth the clock shop was a reference to you, and I'm so glad you liked it!

Chapter 4: Don't Want To Leave...

The clock that hung above Beth's Clock Shop chimed loudly as the hands moved to read, "8:00."

Kermit was staring at the theater. "All our hopes and dreams..." He thought. "He destroyed all our hopes and dreams..." Kermit's world had all crashed before him when he handed the keys to Tyler Bryant.

"Eh, Waldorf, is that the frog?" The elderly voice of Statler asked.

"I can't tell, my contact lense fell out." Waldorf the other heckler replied.

"Oh, that's what that cracking noise was." Statler replied.

Kermit turned around and saw the two old curmudgeons as wrinckled and bitter as ever. "What are you two doing here?" The frog asked.

The two old hecklers looked at each other. "Well Statler he's finnaly lost it." Waldorf inquired.

"We're here for the show tonight you fool!" Statler replied.

Kermit finnaly lost it. "There is no show tonight!" Kermit yelled. "There is no show ever! It's over!"

"What?" Waldorf asked.

"Did you forget your hearing aid again?!?" Kermit yelled. "The show is over! The theater isn't ours anymore!" Kermit held back tears. He gave one last glance at the two old men. And walked away.

Statler and Waldorf watched the frog leave. "Well what do we do now?" Statler asked.

"I don't know." Waldorf admitted. "We've always been at this show on Thursday night."

Statler sighed. "I already miss it..."


Fozzie put his last joke book in his suitcase and shut it. He let out a deep sigh and sat down on the empty room's floor.

"It all starts with a smile...
That we remember
Every once in a while..." The bear sang.

"It all starts with an ember.
Then becomes a flame.
That's all we remember.
Then nothings the same..." He began to cry.

"More than once we,
Don't appreciate what we've
Got.
Then we wake up tomorrow
And it's..." Gonzo walked into the room.

"Not..." Fozzie wiped his tears.

"Fozzie...Are you okay?" Gonzo asked kneeling by at Fozzie's feet.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Fozzie stood up. "I'm fine."

Gonzo stood as well. "Okay. It's time for dinner."

"Thanks." Fozzie walked towards the door.

Gonzo put his arm on Fozzie's shoulder. "Fozzie, if you need me, I'm here for you."

Fozzie hugged his friend. "Gonzo," Fozzie said.

"Yeah?" Gonzo released Fozzie from the hug.

"Same here."

They both walked down to dinner.


Rowlf added some salt to his meal. He looked down the table. All of his friends were sitting there. All except Robin.

"These hot dogs are truly American!" Sam Eagle said as he took a bite of a hot dog.

"Man, this smorgesbord is the perfect way to end our stay." Zoot sighed.

Dr. Teeth let out a light chuckle. "So Zoot, you wrote that poetry book yet?"

"Those are some rully groovy lines Zoot." Janice said eating some tofu.

"Yeah, well, as long as we don't unorganize everything." Scooter said biting an ear of corn.

"Man Scoot, you are so uptight!" Clifford said with his arm around Skeeter's chair who let ought a giggle.

"Yo Beau pass the salt!" Zippity Zap called to Beauregard.

Beauregard scratched his head. "Pass the salt on the way to where?

"Hey Johnny isn't this cake great?" Sal asked as he scarfed some cake.

"Sal, that's the cake leftover from Gonzo's party." Johnny Fiama replied unemotionally eating a canoli.

Sal spat the cake out of his mouth and drank some water. "That was like six years ago!"

"Finish your cake Sal." Johnny said.

"If Johnny Fiama wants me to eat six year old cake, I'll eat six year old cake!" Sal said shoveling in the rest of the cake.

At the other end of the table, Miss Piggy silently stirred a bowl of soup. She sighed. "Poor Kermie." She whispered. "Where is he?"

"Did you say something Piggy?" Rizzo asked eating a hunk of cheese.

"What?" Piggy asked, her mind returning to the table. "Oh, no."

"Okay." Rizzo continued eating.

"Hey Ritzo," Pepe asked as he finished a taco. "Um...I have to tell jew something. Hokay?"

Rizzo stopped eating and looked up. "Yeah? What is it?"

"Um...jew know dat jacuzzi..."

*listens to crickets chirping*

Um...Hi...I posted a new chapter...lol, but seriously, I'm going away for the weekend. So, I'll probably get some more posted tomorrow night.

 

[Beauregard]

Hey Ryan! Thanks for the reference to Robin's father Jimmy, and his split family.

Also, i agree with Lisa that government man is making my hair crawl!!! Also, that Statelr and Waldorf scene...made me feel so empty and sad!!!

 

[theprawncracker]

Sorry It's taking so long. Been busy...

Chapter 5: Such A Hard Thing To Say...

Scooter and Skeeter stood by their suitcases at the empty bus station.

"Where is he?" Skeeter asked as she looked around the bus station.

"Don't worry sis, he'll be here!" Scooter reasured her..

"There he is!" Skeeter cried as she ran outside the station and hugged Clifford who jumped out of his black sports car to hug her back.

Scooter watched them walk back inside hand in hand. "Hey Cliff." Scooter said to his friend giving him a high five.

"Scoot." Clifford acknowleded him and picked up Skeeter's suitcase and walked it over to the bus and put it inside the storage area. Scooter followed.

The busses engines roared. Skeeter let out a deep sigh and hugged Clifford. Scooter tucked his hands in his pockets. He sighed as well and began to sing.

"Saying goodbye,
Going away.
Seems like goodbye's such a hard thing to say."

Clifford grabbed Skeeter's hand. He sang after Scooter.

"Touching a hand,
Wondering why."

Skeeter wiped her eyes.

"It's time for saying goodbye." She finished and followed Scooter onto the bus.


Rowlf, Gonzo, Camilla and Beauregard watched The Electric Mayhem bus drive away for the last time.

"Saying goodbye." Beauregard sang.
"Why is it sad?
Makes us remember the good times we've had."

Gonzo put his arm around Camilla and watched Bunsen back his lime green Volkswagen Beetle out of the driveway as well. With Beaker in the passenger's seat.

"Much more to say.
Foolish to try." Gonzo sang.

Rowlf joined him.

"It's time for saying goodbye."


Johnny and Sal drove down the road in Johnny's red convertible.

"Don't want to leave," Johnny sang.
"But we both know,"

Sal sang after him.

"Sometimes it's better to go."


Kermit held Miss Piggy's hand while they stood watching Fozzie put his suitcase in the trunck of a taxi cab. Fozzie shut the trunk.

"Somehow I know,
We'll meet again." Fozzie sang.
"Not sure quite where,
And I don't know just when." He got into the passenger's seat of the taxi. and it pulled away.

Piggy began to sing.
"You're in my heart,
So until then,"

Kermit looked at his feet. He saw a tear hit on the concrete. It was his own.

"Wanna smile..." He sang.
"Wanna cry...
Saying goodbye..."

Kermit could hear all of his friends finishing the song. As if they were right there with him. Sam, Pepe, Scooter, Rowlf, Bunsen, Beaker, Skeeter, Clifford, Fozzie, Gonzo, Beauregard, Mildred, Hilda, Uncle Deadly, Rizzo, Sweetums, The Electric Mayhem, Crazy Harry, Lew, Chef, Johnny, Sal, Pops, George, Miss Piggy, and...Robin...

But I did... <sniff> ...That last paragraph, especially... "Miss Piggy, and... Robin..." <sniff> and I mean... well, when you combine it with the next chapter of my fanfic (which I'll post soon! Really! I've been busy, too...) I mean... they just sort of... I need to go cry a little more...

 

[TogetherAgain]

That was a compliment, by the way.
