Chapter Twenty Seven

A van, and a truckbed full of muppets parked in front of Doc's house...or garage for that matter. A frog and a bear stepped out from the van, the younger man was holding some plans pointing out some various things to the frog, while laughing and cracking jokes.

"Come on Richard. Doc Brown probably has some important things to do. And that place won't be open all night either." Jim replied, looking at his watch for a moment.

"Oh, sure Jim. Sorry 'bout that. I'll tell ya the rest later, Kermit! Over dinner!" He was laughing softly, as he rolled up the blueprint and held it underneath his arm.

"Oh, good Richard. I really want to hear how that idea for the skit turns out." He turned his attention to the other humans. Sara was now sitting on the hood of the truck, with James standing beside her. Jim was walking up to the garage, about to knock on the window; trying to get Emmett's attention.

"Emmett! We'd tried calling you eariler, but we got no answer. I know this is sudden, but we really need your help with something!" Jim called out, he knew someone was in there, the lights were on inside.

----------------

"Like, what are we gonna do guys! They're all out there, and like...they rully know someone's in here!" Janice said, as everyone was hiding out inside the garage. Doc had left about 10 minutes eariler to go and find Marty.

He had figured they wouldn't come just yet. But he figured wrong. Janice walked over to Sara.

"You're human, you should go outside. Like no one will notice you, fer sure!" Janice then asked.

Sara shook her head. "I may be human, Janice. But I don't think it'd be smart to go outside like this. Their expecting Doc Brown, not some pregnant woman!"

Scooter smiled. "You could be his wife! That should work!"

"His wife? No, no, no. That would never float, it wouldn't work at all." Sara was shaking her head, they were all talking just low enough that no one heard them at all.

"You could just be a family friend, perhaps? Not related at all." Kermit suggested.

"Okay, that's a great plan, Kerm. But...what if they want to come inside. This place is packed wall to wall with older muppets. They'd recoginize you in a heartbeat, and I don't know where else to take them!" Sara was standing up now, glaring at the floor. "It's a great plan, but it just has flaws!"

Piggy smiled, and handed her an old beret. "Put this on, Sara. Um...and this too!" She then handed her some kind of a silky shawl, which she wrapped around her shoulders.

"...what is this for, Piggy?" She looked a little dumbfounded, as Piggy smirked and carefully made up her face. Sara looked a bit ridcolous with all that makeup on her face.

"No one will recoginize you! It's a safeguard! Just go out there, tell them you're a friend of his, and he told you to take them to the local resturant. He's paying, but he left with the car, and left you there. You just need a ride, and he'll meet you all there." Piggy was explaining, as she finished up the crazy looking makeup. Green eyeshadow, deep red lips, a little too much rouge; as well as her hair was pulled back straight into a low bun. She put an oversized black beret on her head, and then wrapped a green silken shawl around her waist.

Sara looked at herself in a mirror, she almost screamed. "I look like the illegitimate child of Poppin' Fresh and a Punk Rocker, Piggy!"

"It's keeps you from being noticed for who you are. Also, when you leave with them, when Doc gets back, we'll tell him you went to a resturant."

"How will you guys know where it is?"

"Someone will have their ear to the door, okay? Just get out there, and talk to 'em!" Piggy shoved Sara towards the door, and everyone got out of the line of sight for the door as she stood in front of it. She wondered just what she would do, she really didn't want to be noticed for who she was...cause she remember when she was 19 or 20 that she met the muppets for the first time.

So, she opened it...with a grand flourish of nearly crashing the door open loudly.

"Well, HELLO THERE! Who are you fine young men?!" She squealed with this overdramatic tone.

Thank you kind Sara... Will comment tomorrow. But I think the fact that Piggy's trying out whatever knowledge Eileen the Perfume Saleswoman imparted on her has the potential for a funny exchange. And so long as you understand and know where this story's going, that's the important thing.

Chapter Twenty Eight

The men stepped back, and looked at her curiously. Jim covered his mouth for a moment, suppressing his laughter. Sara walked closer to him, she was just going all out with this ruse of her's. She was hoping they would be distracted by it.

"Well, hi there! My name is Sa...Renee Louvier! I'm a really good friend of Doc Browns. He had told me you guys were coming today!" She smiled, watching them closely. Richard was about to laugh his head off back there, and Dave was just snickering now.

"Hi, Renee. It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Jim Henson. And these are my friends..." Jim gestured to his friends behind him.

"Frank Oz..."

Frank just waved his hand, smiling.

"...Dave Golez,"

Dave was snickering, his head against the side of the van, still somewhat chuckling at the sight of her.

"...Jerry Nelson's over there.."

Jerry was merely smiling, waving his hand.

"...and the man about to die laughing on the hood of the van, is Richard Hunt. Richard would you quit it!"

Richard was still laughing, for some reason he found Renee's outfit so funny, and he couldn't seem to stop laughing. He walked over to her, and he didn't look at her in the face, he stuck his hand out, and nodded softly.

"Hi there. I'm Richard, as he said, I'm sorry for cracking up like that mam....you're just so funny looking!!" He looked up at her, as Renee reached out to shake his hand, and he started snickering again.

"I'm terribly sorry for Richard's behavior, Saraeny." Jim replied, as Richard walked back over to the van, and climbed into it, Jerry followed him, as well as Dave and Frank. "Where was that place that Doc was going to meet us at then?"

'Saraeny?' She thought, then she smiled a bit. "Oh yeah, oh...what was the name of that place, it was some little italian restrerunt....I've just gotten here, and I only went to it once. You couldn't happen to know the area would you?"

Jim smiled a bit. "Yes, I do know this area. It's Bodduci's, we'll go there then. So he'll meet us up there then?"

"It'll be a little later, but yeah, he'll meet us there." Sara nodded smiling. She was glad that this ruse has worked, now she just has to go with them. She had seen herself, as well as Scooter; when they were both younger.

James walked over to Sara...er, Renee, and he nodded. "You can ride with us, Mam. Wouldn't want somebody in your....uh, delicate position riding around without a seatbelt."

"Oh...um...thanks?"

"James Vines. But you can call me Jimmy. Right up in here...there we go." He had helped her up into the truck, and she buckled up, looking a bit nervous. She was really hoping that makeup Piggy had put on her was working good now. She would die if her father found out that was her, as her older self.

So the two vehicles drove off, with various muppets in both cars. Scooter as well as the others were watching through the clouded windows in the garage. Scooter smiled, as he watched the back of the truck. At first he was just watching for his wife, Sara; in the front seat. Then his attention was drawn to the truck bed.

He saw himself, and his then future wife; as she stole a kiss to him, on his cheek.

Chapter Twenty Nine

They pulled up in front of Bodduci's and they all piled inside the place. They found a seperate dining room for them all, and they set out plans and charts and all this other stuff. Kermit pulled out some papers, and Scooter was using the phone on the other side of the room, trying to get ahold of his Uncle to come there so he could talk with them all.

'Why did I bother coming? This is absolutely nuts!' Sara thought to herself, as she kept the beret on her head, her hair was around her shoulders now, and she kept her eyes closed, thinking to herself. She really wished Scooter was there now. 'I just can't believe it. And...I look like a clown with this makeup on! I hate makeup!!'

Her attention crept away from her internal thoughts, and she saw herself sit...in front of herself. She watched for a moment, she immediately the younger Sara pulled out a small notebook and started writing something down.

"What are you writing there, sweetheart?" Sara asked her.

"Oh this? Just some story or something. I don't know if it's good or not ya know, just some random thoughts and everything." She replied, also doodling in the corners of it.

The older Sara noticed her watching Scooter very closely. She smirked a little, she knew exactly what she was looking at.

"Like him, huh?" She asked her younger self, who just nodded, smiling.

'Apperently I'm not much of a talker.' She thought to herself. She felt a small twinge go through her back, and she nodded to herself, still thinking. 'Yeah, I know this is weird, baby. But just calm down, we'll get this sorted out...and we'll get home. You've got another month in there, and then...you'll come out. But until then, please calm down in there...'

Sara made a small face, as the baby decided to kick some more into her ribcage. She suddenly stood up, and walked out of the room. Jim watched her closely, and he walked over to the doorway, where she stood now.

"Are you okay, Renee?" He asked her.

"Yes...yeah I'm fine. Baby's getting a little bit active, and it's easier if I'm standing up or completely laying down. With sitting, I can feel it more...and it dosn't feel good at all." She said, her eyes closed, leaning against the outside wall gently.

"You need to go back to Doc's place? We're already here, so we could just take you back to his place, and come back here. Unless he needed you for something." Jim said to her, he was really concerned about her.

"..He dosn't need me, I'll be fine. But..that does sound like a good idea, if it dosnt' bother you guys of course. I wouldn't want to interrupt a meeting." She looked back at him, and she smiled. She had already just dropped the weird accent, she figured the makeup disguise held good for her already.

Jim went over to Kermit and Fozzie, and he spoke with them a little bit. Fozzie agreed to drive her in the bus back to Doc's place, and Kermit and Scooter would come with him.

--------------

The older Scooter was about to start pacing in the garage. He was getting worried. Kermit could only watch out of the small window, perched on a stack of boxes. He didn't know of anything he could do.

Piggy was looking through her makeup kits, and she smirked a little. "I'm really glad I had that temp job in New York, Kermie."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" He asked, looking down from the boxes at her.

"I mean, if I hadn't had that job, I wouldn't have really known what to do for her. I mean, I put my own makeup on, but makeup on a pig, and makeup on a human is really different. Especially for moi, I don't have eyebrows!" She said, smiling as she closed up the case, and slipped it into her purse.

------------

'Oh....my....god....' Sara's thoughts were the same, as she kept her face peeled out the side window. She never looked over at Scooter. She knew he would recoginize her in an instant, so she thought. He was sitting right beside her, across the aisle.

"Mam? How do you know Doc Brown?" Scooter asked her. She didn't respond, she just kept her eyes out the window, watching for something. "Mam??"

"Maybe she's deaf, Scooter." Kermit pondered, watching her too. She never even moved a muscle in that seat since she got on the bus.

"But she was able to answer Jim's questions, I mean, she was able to talk to him normally."

"Maybe she was just reading his lips." He held onto the seat, and he leaned over and tapped 'Renee' on the shoulder. She softly looked up at him.

"Yes?" She said. Sara figured if they thought she was deaf, might as well play along. Anything to keep her from being identified as Sara Vines, was a charm and a blessing.

"Are you deaf?" Kermit asked, while doing the approiate sign language to go with his spoken words. Sara almost blanched. She could fake total deafness excellently, as she was already stone-deaf in one ear. But she had never learned sign language too well.

"Yes, I am. I mostly lip-read though." She replied, she was hoping maybe he would still keep talking. Usually, they did. But sometimes the person would just decide to speak solely in signing. Which would be horrible for her. "You don't need to do signing, Mr. the Frog, if you don't want to."

He nodded and smiled. Scooter got into the seat in front of Sara, followed by Kermit. Sara was frowning slightly, but she smiled. She just prayed that they wouldn't ask too many questions.

"When's the baby due?" Scooter asked her. He was smiling widely, curious.

"One month, one week. Roughly." She said back, she just wanted to rest, and not speak anymore. But might as well indulge them, so they won't worry about anything like who she is.

"Wow, you must be really excited huh? Is it a girl or a boy?" He asked again, leaning over the seat, and watching her intently. He seemed to really take notice in her, and although he saw a wedding ring on her finger, he was starting to get a crush on her for some reason. "You've got really beautiful eyes, Ms. Renee."

Sara's eyes shot open, and she just stared out the window again. She pulled out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, still looking out the window.

'I can't believe this! I cannot be witnessing this....this boy...who's my husband in the future...he's.....' Her thoughts slowed down for a moment, and she smiled, getting more relaxed with herself.

'He loves me already. He has a crush on me, and he dosn't even know me. That's part of what...brought us together...he always loved my hazel eyes...that...was the first thing he noticed in me...'

For the rest of the trip, to Doc's house. Sara was smiling. She was quite eager to get back to her family, and get back to their time.

Chapter Thirty

They finally pulled up into Doc's lot, and Sara got off from the bus, and she waved them goodbye. She waited until they drove off, and she walked inside the garage. She immedately sat down on the ground, and took off the beret and then the shawl from her waist. Sighing, she laid flat out on the ground.

"Sara, are you okay?" Scooter asked, as he sat down beside her. "Is something the matter??"

"Honey, calm down. I'm fine. I'm just tired, and that was probably the most weird experience I've ever had, and I've been in a lot of your skits too, so that counts for a lot of weird stuff." She replied, smiling.

"You sure you're alright?" He asked, frowning. "You could have been hurt you know....or you could have figured yourself out...I mean, your younger self could have seen you!"

"And the universe would explode in an instant!" She said mockingly, looking up at him. She smiled and placed her hand over her right ear. She couldn't hear him very well then. "The universe isn't going to explode just because I saw myself when I was 19 years old."

He gently pulled away her hand, smiling. He knew she was merely teasing around when she did that, as if she didn't want to listen to him anymore. Her right ear was her good one, so she just covered that one up, and she couldn't hear anything then.

"It probably could. We just need to be really careful, I...I really didn't want you going, what if you caused the two of us to never meet?" He looked at her, smiling softly. She sat up, and frowned softly.

"I'm not sure sweetheart. What do you think could have happened?" She had one arm around him, and the other one rested on her stomach, listening to him.

"Well...for one thing, no baby. I wouldn't have met you, so you wouldn't be having that baby now. Another thing, I probably wouldn't have met my mother, Sadie. Or my sister."

"Whoa, hold the horses here, gofer. Because of me, you wouldn't have met your mother and sister?"

"You convinced me to look for them. Although it was still a dead-end until they found me; I never gave up, because you had convinced me."

"I only met you once in your life...I don't remember meeting you until you came to the bookstore, to get that book that I had written..."

"How do you think you got such a close story?" He looked at her and he smiled, as he gave her a kiss. "I remembered you. Now you knew me, but...you never remembered me. So, I let you get close to us, for the story. Even before the story, it was your speaking out for children, that had convinced me."

"So it wasn't anything personal was it?"

"It was...but not so much so as direct influncing, but more indirectly. You told me of your adoption, then I told you of my adoption by my Uncle. It ended up, you telling me about Mr. Takashi. But I never thought about it, till I met my mother for the first time."

Sara reached over, and she smiled, tracing his old scar through his shirt. "Yeah....I wish we were home, Scooter. It's...so exhausting here. I'm also worried about something."

"What's that Sara?" Kermit asked, smiling after listening to their stories.

"What happens if I have the baby here? In this timeline? Do I take the baby back with me, and say it was born in 2006? Or do I take it with me and say it was born in 1985?" She looked a little confused as she explained it to them.

"Just take the baby back, and call it alive. That should work." Piggy retorted, as she looked at a small picture of Jane and James. "Oh...I hope the kids are alright!!"

"Piggy, if it works right, they'll never know we left them." Kermit replied.

"Oh, Kermie...what if it dosn't work! What if we're trapped here, in this year....and...and...what about the children! Moi will simply die if she loses them!" Piggy was leaning against Kermit now, about to start crying now.

Kermit frowned a little bit. He wasn't sure what to say to her now. He just held her hands, and held her close to him. Everyone was very worried about what would happen to them, if they were trapped in that period of time.

So much good stuff here... The best was probably the scene in the restaurant, between the two you's. And then the conversation back at Doc Brown's house near the garage... The small picture of Jane and James, are those Kermit and Piggy's children or the Hensons? Thanks for the huge update in the story.

Chapter Thirty One

Back in the year 2027...

"So...did you get it son?" A gruff sounding man asked, smirking.

"Yeah, Dad. With that stupid kid's help I got it. Had to punch some old dude out though." He frowned, sitting on the couch, the other man, his father stood up, and grabbed him by the shirt.

"You idiot! You shouldn't have had to touch anything!" He sat down at the table, and he was about to open the plans, when a young man, wearing an old red and gray jacket walked inside the room.

"Uh...Mr. Tannen...can I leave now? Dad's probably worried about me...I've been gone for awhile now..."

"Huh? Sure, butthead. Get moving. But, if you say a word about this, you'll have to talk to Griff about it, understand McFly!?"

"Yes, Mr. Tannen. I un-understand!" He ran out from the room, he didn't want to get hurt. He ran all the way to his house.

Biff Tannen sighed happily, as he started to open up the plans. He read over it, and he frowned. He got out a magnifing glass, and he frowned even more. "This isn't the plans for that time machine, Griff!! You got the wrong freaking plans!!!"

"That says 'Time Machine' on the outside! Look at it!!" He demanded, poking the outside of the papers.

"This is a **** All-Perpose Gorrilla Attraction Machine! Where did you have to go to find it!?" He yelled, standing up and leaning over the desk starting at his son.

"Those Muppets...their house! I found them in the basement! It's where I followed the weird car to there. I went into the basement, and I heard some old fogie yelling to someone he thought was in that room. I knocked something over...he nearly caught me, so I just clocked him." He said simply, looking at his father without a shred of remorse.

"I see. We'll get them eventually. Let's go check out the crazy old man's house next. It should be there.."

--------------

Biff Tannen, and his son Griff Tannen; they went to Doc's garage and they noticed something odd. Doc wasn't anywhere in sight. They tore into his garage, and they found the plans for the time machine.

"This is perfect Griff. We'll be able to live our wildest dreams once we go back in time." Biff proclaimed, his hands trembling on the plans. They were the plans for the time machine for the DeLeoran. It was a backup plan that Doc had in there.

Griff laughed along with his father, as they went back to their house, carrying the plans with them. Within a few weeks, they had created the time machine...and they were ready to use it.

"So where we gonna go, Dad?" Griff asked, smirking. He held a few things in a bag: A sports almanac, stock market lows and highs, among various things that could potentially make money.

"We're going to January the 7th. About oh...6pm or so." Biff smiled a little evilly as he set the date on the mechanism.

"What's important about that date, Dad? What happened?" Griff was looking through the bag again, making sure he had everything he needed. He noticed a small vial was inside it as well. Two small vials. "And what's with these vials of liquid?"

"It's for some old friends of mine! Just shut up and sit back, Griff! I don't want any lip from you during this trip into the past, you keep your yapper shut or I'll shut it for ya!" He growled at his son, as he was driving backwards, to gain the space needed to get to 88 miles per hour.

He finally got the length he needed, and speeding off, he was launching himself into the past.

OK... Um, confussled again...

The story's playing around with three timelines correct?
The past, where Sara and the Muppeteers and current Muppets are gathered, with the actual Muppets huddled in Doc Brown's garage in the year 1985?
The present, where the story began with the scene on Sesame Street and Doc Brown integrating himself into the Muppet clan in the year 2006?
And the future, which has been serving as the actual moment in time of the story's main arc with the evil Denays Corporation trying to turn the town of Hensonville against the Muppets, Sara's encarcaration and pregnancy, Marty's departure, conversion of the EM bus into a time vehicle... And now the theft of the plans for the DeLorean by the Tannens in the year, um, 2027?

Chapter Thirty Two

Entering into the year 2006, they drove around some until they found Doc's place. They pulled up in front and sat there for a moment.

"So, this is the place. I can't believe that excuse for a scientist lives here. Where's his car anyways?" Biff kind of asked nobody, as he was looking around. Him and his son stepped out from the car, and closed the doors.

They walked over to the garage, peering inside the windows. At first glance they saw nothing inside. Griff reared back and slammed on the garage door forcefully. Biff had a gun in his pocket, he was going to take Doc by force to get his time machine working properly.

"I know you're in there, Emmett Brown! I really need your help with something! I think...my car's broken! Yeah, I know you're good with stuff like that!!" Biff shouted. He held the gun in his hands, ready to shoot if he had too.

Griff slammed again against the door, laughing softly. "I don't think he's gonna come out! Maybe we should just run into the door, Dad. That would probably work just as good!"

Biff smirked, and they started to walk back towards the car. The door opened slightly, and a lady poked her head outside.

"U-Um....what do you two need?" She asked them, Biff smiling at her quite nicely.

"Our car seems to have broken down Mam. We were just looking for our good friend, Dr. Brown. We thought he could help us with it perhaps." He was lying through his teeth. He was hoping that the lady hadn't heard him yelling before.

"Oh....okay...maybe I could help you." The lady, Sara smiled at them. Scooter grabbed her by the sleeve, and he tugged backwards.

"Sara I don't trust them. Something isn't right. Close the door and get back in here!" He was staring intently at her, she smiled a little bit.

"What harm can he do?" She looked out at him, he had popped up the hood of the car, and it was smoking a little bit now. His gun was unvisible, tucked into the waistband of his pants. "I'll be there in a moment."

"Take your time Mam. We're in no hurry!!" He smiled, then he turned to his son, who was fuming.

"But we are, in a hurry!" He complained.

"Hold your dogs, Griff. If we look like we're nice and sweet, she'll fall for it, and we'll be able to probably even get her for some kind of a ransom perhaps. She looks like she's related to Doc Brown, so that'll really help us in the long run." He chuckled, watching her fuss with something behind the door, then she finally just walked outside, and shut it behind her.

Although they couldn't see him, Scooter was now sitting on the pile of boxes, watching her, worried.

"You said you needed some help with something?" She asked, as she stood over the car's hood, peering inside. "I'm not that much help with cars, but I could check your oil for you.."

She suddenly felt cold steel pressed against her neck, she was still, as she turned her head around to look at him. He kept her head looking forward with one hand.

"...You'll take me to Doc Brown. And you'll not complain, or yell, or make a ruckus...understand?" He said, the gun still pressed against her neck.

Scooter nearly fell off of the boxes when he saw the glint of the gun in the evening sunlight. He scrambled for the door, and he flung it open.

"YOU LET GO OF MY WIFE!!!" He yelled, running towards Biff in a full out tackle. In a seemingly superhuman attempt, he leapt from the ground, and tackled Biff onto the ground. He tried to wrestle the gun from him, it had been only seconds since he had yelled now.

The shot rang throughout the entire neighborhood.

Okay...no....you're making ME confused now!

I've only got two timelines running:

1985: Past muppets and Sara, and muppeters. Along with current muppets (circa 2006), and Sara all huddled into garage.

2006: the evil Denays Corporation trying to turn the town of Hensonville against the Muppets, Sara's encarcaration and pregnancy, Marty's departure, conversion of the EM bus into a time vehicle.

This is also the same timeline when Tannens stole the plans for the time machine, they made their own one. They were simply going to steal the machine itself, but Biff supringly got smart, and he just intended to steal the plans and try to attempt to build it. Yes, major plothole as to why could stupid Biff and his equally stupid son Griff build a time machine? Don't ask why it just happened!

So 2027, isn't a part of it at all. And I just realized, I guess Marty got pressured into helping Biff and Griff. Or something like that....oh wait! In 2006, Marty Sr. is 38 years old, so his kid Marty Jr. is like...15 or something. So that works. The 'Butthead" and "McFly" is actually Marty Jr.
