Chapter 6: But We Both Know...

Miss Piggy dabbed her eyes with her handkerchief. Her frog prince was handing a thin blond woman wearing long pink dress, the keys. The keys to the Muppet boarding house. "Well," She sighed to herself. "I geuss it really is over." Kermit shook the woman's hand and walked towards Miss Piggy. "Oh!" She cried dabbing her eyes again. "I can't let him see me crying."

"Miss Piggy..." He grasped her hand. "I...I know I haven't always been...been the best example of...of a...a..." Kermit hesitated. "A boyfriend. But, I just want you to know, that I...I really do love you." He pecked her on the cheek.

Miss Piggy sniffed. "Oh mon capitan..." She began to cry and hugged him. "Why must we always leave each other?"

"Piggy." Kermit hugged her back. He looked up into the night sky. He saw the stars gleaming.

"We followed a star,
And here we are.
Now Heaven seems so near!" Kermit sang.

Piggy let go of him. And let one last tear fall from her eye.

"Love led us here."

Kermit nodded.

"I know that life may take you by surprise
And sweep you off your feet.

"Did this happen to us?
Or were we just dreaming?

"We followed a star,
And here we are,
Now Heaven seeems so near!
Love Led us here." They both sang.

Kermit sighed and grasped her hand one last time.

"So take my hand.
And have no fear." Kermit sang.

"It'll be alright." Piggy continued.

"Love led us here!" They both sang.

A yellow taxi pulled up behind the lovers. "You'll keep in touch?" Piggy asked.

"Of course."

"Well I..."

Kermit went against his own rational thinking and gave Miss Piggy a kiss on the lips.


"Well Mr. Bear, considering your records, I don't think we can give you this job." A large man sitting behind a desk told Fozzie.

"Well, why not? I'm a great comedian!" Fozzie argued.

"Because Mr. Bear, this is a nightclub! Not a third rate variety show!" The man said getting annoyed.

Fozzie got up and walked towards the door. He turned around. Took off his hat and said, "Second rate variety show!" He put his hat backed on, and walked out.

He passed a tall man in a black t-shirt and black chakis carrying a tray of glasses filled with liquid. The man turned around. "Hey," he called to Fozzie. "Aren't you Fozzie Bear?"

Fozzie looked at him. "What's it to ya?" He asked.

"Well, my name is Matt B. Regard, and I'm a big fan." Matt said.

"Really? Well, it's nice to meet you Matt!" Fozzie said. "You wanna hear a joke?"

"No, I gotta work, but hey, if you stick around for a while I'll treat ya to a drink." Matt offered.

Fozzie sighed. "No, thanks. I've gotta...I've gotta go." Fozzie sighed again and walked out of the bar.


"What do you mean a no talent idiot?" Gonzo yelled.

A man wearing a red, white, and blue athletic suit and helmet looked down at the weirdo. He took off his helmet. "I mean what I said! You have no talent!" He started to walk away, pushing a motorcycle in front of him. "Oh, and you do ludicrous things!"

Gonzo stared at him. "I do what?"

"Ludicrous things!"

"Of course I do, I'm an artist!"

"No, you're insane!"

"Thank you." Gonzo took the compliment and left the huge arena with it and his chicken in hand.

Oh, prawncracker, you made me cry again... I mean the... "We followed a star..." <hugs nearest inanimate object, which happens to be a hairbrush>

And then the- Fozzie... "Second-rate variety show!" Oy, I don't know if I'm laughing or crying! And same with Gonzo... and... <hugs next nearest inanimate object, which happens to be a business card>

And, um, Matt B. Regard. A huge fan. :wink:.

And I'm not crying. Really, I'm not... ok maybe I am...

Just got back into town and read both of your latest chapters and...
OH, they just got me in the heart! They're beautifully written and heartwrenching and so sad, but so good. Can't wait to see more.

Chapter 7: Seems Like Goodbye

Robin sat on a lilypad in the middle of the swamp. He looked around. It was mid day, the sun was hot. But Robin didn't care. He needed to be out here. So many memories. Robin saw a group of frogs swimming along. His friend Ed swam up to him.

"Hey Robin, we're playin' leap frog you wanna join us?" Ed asked him.

Robin looked at him. "Sorry Ed, it's just..." Robin hesitated. "No, I can't right now. Maybe later."

"Robin," Ed asked. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Alright. If you're sure. See ya later." Ed swam off with the other frogs.

"Yeah. Later." Robin looked into the sky. Clouds passed over his head. The spring sun shone down on his green body. "Why are there so many of my memories sad?" Robin asked himself. "The tragedy in Raenbeau, Lloyd Galt, Under the Weeping Willow, Elmo..." He silently recalled. "But, all of those memories end up happy. In the end." He left his uncle with so many questions left unanswered...

"Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows?" Robin sang.
"And what's on the other side.
Rainbows are visions,
But only illusions.
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told
And some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me!"

Robin heard a voice call from inside his house. "Robin!" His father's voice called. "Phone call!"

Robin sighed and hopped off the lily pad and swam to his house.


Kermit stood inside the phone booth.

"Here he is." The voice of his brother said from the other end of the phone.

"Thanks Jimmy. Talk to you later." Kermit said as he heard the phone be switched from one frog to another.

"Hello?" The tiny voice of Robin asked.

"Robin!"

"Uncle Kermit!"

"How are you Robin?"

"I'm fine...all the other frogs have been really nice to me."

"Oh good. Um...well, everyone here is gone."

"Where are you?"

"I'm um...I'm in a hotel. I'm gonna be staying here for a while until I can find an apartment." Kermit had never lied to his little nephew before. The truth was, Kermit didn't have enough money left to even check into a hotel. "Well, you stay out of trouble ok, I've got to go, they charge for long distance calls here."

Kermit heard the little frog sigh. "Ok Uncle Kermit. Will you call me soon?"

Kermit hesitated, but he knew he couldn't let Robin down. "Of course. Same time next week?"

"That will be great!" Robin cheered.

"Robin, I love you."

"I love you to Uncle Kermit. Bye." The phone was hung up.

Ok, before anyone reads this, I have to give an explanation as to why these chapters are so short. It's because of school...CURSE THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM!!! I don't have time to write long chapters anymore. So forgive me! Please!:halo:

Oh poor Robin! It's so sad! And Kermit not having enough money, but he still called his nephew! It's really great Ryan even if you can't write long chapters anymore, that's ok!
