You don't know how much that made me laugh. That was hillarious. Yet so so sad...TogetherAgain(why oh why can't I just say Lisa?) said:
I'm so happy you guys liked the letter. I thought it might be a little to edgy. But, oh well. Thanks for the responses guys! More story either after school or later tonight. (depending on my homework situation)

Ok, now that I'm awake and have more coherant thought, these are the things I loved:
-the reference to Lloyd Galt
-the Henson family
-President Bush's letter
-"He really did care for her"
I know those things have already been mentioned, but you just did them all so well! And now I need to know what happens next!

Chapter 16: It's Not Starting Over
"Mee me mo mo meep!" Beaker argued.
"What?" Bunsen slammed on the brakes crashing Beaker into the front window. "Oh my Beakie, I am sorry, but that is why we where seatbelts." The reality of it was that Beaker was wearing his seatbelt. "But, how can you think that there is such a thing as to much gunpowder?"
"Me me mo." Beaker sighed getting back into his seat.
"Right. Now, where's our next stop?"
Beaker pulled a map out of the glove compartment. He unfolded it and started reading. "Me mo me me mo." He told Bunsen.
"Wonderful!" He cried. "Next stop The Pentagon! Oh it sets me all a twitter!"
"Ok Skeet, closin' time!" Scooter called from behind the cash register.
Skeeter dropped her mop and trew off her uniform. "Finnaly!" She cried. "What kind of crazy place stays open this late?"
"Yeah well," Scooter said putting his uniform into a closet. "Just be glad you don't have to work the graveyard shift like Chef."
The Chef continued to flip burger patties. "Flip de flip! De moo moo flip de flip!" He chanted.
The door opened and an elderly man with a whith goutee walked in. "Evenin' man? What's shakin'?" He asked in a raspy voice.
"Not the milkshakes." Skeeter said halfway out the door. "And if you're wantin' service, you'll have to wait for the graveyard shift to arive." She told the man.
"Ahh," He said in a deep, scary voice. "The graveyard shift? Frightful no?"
"Yeah, whatever." Skeeter walked out the door.
"Sorry about my twin sir, but I can serve you if you'd like." Scooter told him.
"Oh no, that wont' be neccasary." He said in a small voice that resembled a five year old. "You see, I'm Jerry, I work the graveyard shift here."
"Oh well, I'm Scooter I work the uh...other shift." Scooter told Jerry.
"Well," He said in a voice sounding like a crazy person. "You better get home then huh?"
"Yeah probably." Scooter told him. "Nice talkin' to ya."
"Yeah, you to! Goodbye!" He said in the strange voice of a circus freak.
"Bye!" Scooter called. When he walked out the door he heard Jerry talking to the person at the drive through. "Yes ma'am, that'll be five, five dollars and eighty-seven cents. Please pull around to the second, second window. Ah ha ha!"
Robin sat on his bed doing math homework. "Ok, if x=94," he said aloud. "Then what is 97+54x-9-234+87% of 234?" Robin rolled over on his back. "A little advanced for a five year old don't ya think?"
He hopped off his bed and walked around his room he walked over to his desk. He picked up the picture of him and his uncle sitting in a chair reading. He glanced at his calandar. Kermit was late.
"He was supposed to call yesterday!" Robin cried suddenly realizing that his uncle hadn't called yet this week. "What could've happened? Maybe he's hurt? Or sick? Or...wait...he's probably just got a new job. Yeah that's right. Probably just a new job interfering. He'll call later tonight." Robin reassured himself.
Dinner came and went. And before he knew it, it was Robin's bedtime. Kermit hadn't called. Robin didn't get any sleep. His mind was plagued with horrible thoughts of what could've happened to his uncle.
Miss Piggy watched her frog prince. He sat in the chair with his head hanging. If she didn't know better, she would've thought he was dead.
"Kermie?" She asked just to reassure herself.
Kermit turned his head away and sighed. "It's over Piggy. It's all over. I failed. We lose. We never even had a chance."
"What?" She asked astonished. "Kermit don't you remember your dreams? Your hopes? Think about it Kermit, you've done so much! You wanted to be a star! You got it! You wanted to be a reporter! You got it! You wanted to be on Broadway! You got it! You wanted to beat Long John Silver! You got it! You wanted Gonzo to be happy! You got it! You wanted a brain! You got it frog!"
"Don't you see Piggy!" He yelled. "Those are movies! Not life! There's a script and a writer! It's not real!"
"Fine!" She yelled back. "How about this then? You wanted to beat Lloyd Galt! You did it! You wanted to save Robin from Hopper! You did it! You wanted to save the theater! You did it! You wanted to save Beauregard! You did it! You wanted to beat Elmo! And geuss what frog? You did it! No writer, no script! Just dreams, and hopes, and determination! You wanted to leave the swamp! You! Did! It! Kermit!" She cried. Her tears hit the floor. Neither of them spoke.
Kermit sighed. She was right. No writer, no script, just hopes...dreams...determination. He had yelled at her again. He hated himself for that. He didn't know how to help. But his heart thought other wise.
"I've got a feelin' that
We did somethin' right
Everything lookin' up
Future shinin' bright.
Gotta get a message out
Send it loud and clear
All you need is right here.
Who said happiness is far away?
Closer than you might think.
Find it every day.
Step back you'll see.
You're part of a family!" Kermit sang.
"It's a good life." He sang.
She looked at him. "A happy ending is where you're landing." She sang.
"It's a good life."
"Don't you love how it's turning out?"
"It's a good life."
"See what happens when you take your chances?"
"It's a good life."
"Come on in and find what I found..." She sang. She stopped crying. "I love you Kermie.
"I love you to Piggy. And I'm sorry. You were right. I was wrong. It'll be ok. Soon. I promise."
"Mee me mo mo meep!" Beaker argued.
"What?" Bunsen slammed on the brakes crashing Beaker into the front window. "Oh my Beakie, I am sorry, but that is why we where seatbelts." The reality of it was that Beaker was wearing his seatbelt. "But, how can you think that there is such a thing as to much gunpowder?"

The scene with Kermit and Piggy is just so powerful! It's one of the best Kermit/Piggy scenes I think I've ever seen! It's just so heartwrenching, but it ends so sweetly with
The whole chapter was really good, this part just stuck out at me. Keep it up!
