"Oh no, thunder! I hope it doesn't rain in here!" Beauregard said as he placed his hands over his head.

"I hope it does!" Oscar said. "Some rain would really mess this place up!"
I laughed so hard at this part! It was so Beauregard and so Oscar! Even though this part was funny, the end of this chapter really touched me. It was beautiful that the tears washed away all of the evil. Brilliant writing.

OK... Another chapter of Chasing Robin's been posted. So... now we need another one of Visions or the last chapter of ROE. Take your time Ryan, we want a great ending.
No pressure though, I'm sure you'll come up with a good ending for this great story o'yours.

BTW: Forgot to say, but the fight with the clones and Beaker was the funniest part to me. Hee, Beaker got his head sent down into his labcoat by a bonk on the head from one of the clones. His meeps were muffled by the coat. Then, another clone punched him in the chest and sent his head back up.
Funnnnnnny!

I lied! I just realised I HADN'T read the latest section, and I do in fact LOVE it!!!

Here's the highlights:

1. "It looks like you didn't have a very good head on your shoulders did you?" Fozzie said. "Dat's not funny. Hokay?" Pepe said.
2. "Sal?" "Yeah Johnny?" "Never mind."
3. Scooter and Skeeter ducked at the same time, and the clones hit each other.
4. "That wasn't very nice of me..." Grover said.
5. The clone moved in for another attack, but it was suddenly turned into an ice sculpture.
6. "You have horrible timing Ernie." Bert said.
7. "I never told Gonso dat we built dat jacuzi!" Pepe admitted.
8. "Jew... jew saved me! Hokay?" Pepe said.
9. "Like he rully needs to mellow out." Janice said.
0. "De heemer gonskly heets Cliffy!" Chef cried. (Actually...I won't say a word...I won't...)
11. "Oh no, thunder! I hope it doesn't rain in here!" Beauregard said as he placed his hands over his head.
12. "I hope it does!" Oscar said. "Some rain would really mess this place up!"

And then the touchingest moment!

"Elmo doesn't want to hear it Zoe!"

I almost started crying right abot there...

Okay, this was a neat chapter. Only thing I am surprised about is that Piggy didn't jump into action as usual. Also, Gordon and Snuffy totally could have kicked some butt. Otherwise, I loved everyone's little moments during the fight.

Chapter 20: Forgive and Forget

The room was dull. And empty except for a brain, and a large machine. Underneath the crayon drawings was an empty apartment. Nothing on the walls. Nothing on the floor. Except for the motionless bodies of two frogs, and thier friends.

Elmo was down on his knees staring at Kermit and Robin's lifeless bodies. By now the rest of The Muppets had stopped crying. Zoe got down on her knees next to Elmo. She placed her hand on his. What has Elmo done? Elmo thought to himself. He looked at Zoe. Her face was full of worry. He had scared her. He looked at Kermit. His mouth barely hanging open, his eyes closed, and a bruise starting to form. He had hurt him. He looked at Robin. His eyes and mouth were closed and he had Miss Piggy's handkerchief on his forehead. He had hurt him to. He looked behind him and saw everyone. He had hurt them all.

"Elmo is so sorry." He said as a single tear dropped from his eye onto Kermit. Then more tears fell. Kermit's body was raised from the ground by Elmo's tears. Kermit's eyes opened. He was lowered back down to the floor.

"Piggy? Gonzo? Fozzie? I'm... I'm me. I'm okay. But Elmo he..." Kermit sputered.

"Elmo saved you Kermit." Zoe said. "His tears. They brought you back."

"Elmo? But he's the one who hurt me in the first place." Kermit said.

"Elmo is sorry Mr. Kermit. It was Elmo's destiny to take over the world. But now, Elmo realizes that he didn't want to." Elmo admitted.

"Elmo. If you didn't want to, you didn't have to." Zoe told him. "Elmo. You are blessed by how you bless. Not by how you hurt. You should be nice."

"Elmo likes being nice. Alot more than being mean. Elmo was mean to Elmo's friends." Elmo said. "Elmo was mean to Robin." Elmo looked at Robin. He realized that what he did was wrong. And he had to fix it. "But Elmo can fix Robin."

Elmo walked over to where his throne used to stand. He picked up the jar with Robin's brain, and walked it over to the Quadrilobal Brain Probing Machine.

The rest of the Muppets were speechless. They didn't know what to think. Was Elmo really good now? Or was he just tricking them?

"Mr. Kermit, bring Robin over here, and Elmo will put Robin's brain back in." Elmo told Kermit.

Kermit stared. He thought about Robin. He thought about a song. A song he'd known for a long time. It meant something now. He understood. Kermit picked up Robin and carried him over to Elmo.

"Just set Robin down, right there." Elmo said.

Kermit sat Robin down, and Elmo lowered the machine until it was on Robin's head.

~~~~~~~~~~

It took Robin a moment to recover. He blinked. Then opened his eyes. He saw everyone looking down at him.

Rowlf was the firt to notice. "Hey guys he's up!"

Robin heard cheers from all around him. Then the Count popped his head in.

"How many fingers am I holding up?" He asked as he held up all five fingers on one hand.

"Five. I'm five." Robin said.

"Oh no!" Beauregard said. "He's holding up four fingers and one thumb! Robin's brain must have been put in wrong!"

Robin laughed. He stood up, and looked around him. All of his friends were there. Rowlf, Sweetums, Gonzo, Floyd, Scooter, Miss Piggy, Big Bird, Ernie, Bert, Elmo, Zoe... Elmo?

Elmo was standing with his hands behind his back. He looked at Robin. Robin looked at him.

"What are you still doing here Elmo?" Robin asked angrily.

"Elmo is sorry Robin. Elmo is nice now." Elmo said.

"That's not true!" Robin yelled. "You hurt me Elmo! You took my brain and turned me into your slave! You made me hurt my friends!" Robin held back tears.

Kermit walked up to his nephew. He put his hand on his shoulder. "Robin. Remember the song I taught you?" Kermit asked him.

"Which one? Halfway Down the Stairs?" Robin asked.

Kermit shook his head.

"It's Not Easy Bein' Green?" Robin asked again.

Kermit shook his head once more and started to sing.

"If just one person believes in you,
Deep enough and strong enough believes in you
Hard enough and long enough,
It stands to reason that someone else will think,
If he can do it, I can do it."

Elmo listened to the words. He knew that Kermit believed in him. And Robin knew that as well.

Zoe walked up to Kermit and sang with him.

"Making it, two whole people, who believe in you
Deep enough, and strong enough,
Believe in you.
Hard enough and long enough
There's bound to be some other person who
Believes in making it a threesome,
Making it three.
People you can say, believe in me."


Now Elmo realized Zoe believed to. Kermit and Zoe. Robin realized that his uncle wasn't going crazy as Big Bird came to sing with them.

"And if three whole people,
Why not four?"


Miss Piggy joined.

"And if four whole people,
Why not more, and
more, and
more."


Soon everyone was singing with Kermit. Everyone but Robin and Elmo.

"And when all those people,
Believe in you,
Deep enough, and strong enough,
Believe in you.
Hard enough, and long enough,

It stands to reason that you yourself will
Start to see what everybody sees in
You."


Elmo looked at Robin. Robin looked at Elmo. Robin believed. Elmo believed.

"And maybe even you,
Can believe in you... too!"
Robin finished the song.

Elmo believed in himself. "Elmo believes. In himself. And everyone."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are blessed by how you bless.

THE END

Not me, I stand before you bawling my eyes out and biting on the skin between my thumb and fingers. (Don't ask.)

I want to run around that empty apartment and give absolutely everyone in it a huge gigantic HUG!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Kermit, Robin, Elmo, and Zoe get two hugs each. And then they all get a group hug!

And prawncracker, YOU get a hug! Oh, man, you get a million hugs! You hit me right in my weakspot with "Just One Person." And with Robin, and with Kermit, and...

Remember how I somehow got you to like Miss Piggy with Destination: Home?

...I don't think I can quite say that I like Elmo yet... but consider the favor returned.

I agree, good story.
By the way, I strongly believe that one of the main reason's people don't like Piggy is because of the way she is being played these days. Yes, she is vein, but her vulnerable sweetness makes us like her again. Piggy has been lacking in this vulnerability since Muppet Christmas Carol.

What a wonderful and beautiful ending. I loved the use of "Just One Person" I loved "you are blessed by how you bless" That is a great quote and one I will not soon forget. Bravo Ryan, this was a wonderfully fantastic story. Don't ever stop writing.
