FanFic: A Grand Adventure In Life!

[ReneeLouvier]

Chapter Thirty Three

A yell was heard throughout the same neighborhood, as was the shot just moments eariler. Someone was crying, sobbing actually.

"...Hold on...just hold on, we'll get you help..." He said, cradling her close. He could see the gunwound just above her heart. He wasn't sure if she would die or not, but he didn't want to risk it. He turned to Biff, glaring. "I can't believe you."

Biff was watching closely, shaking. He never intended to actually hurt her. Maybe him, or Doc, but never that lady. Stammering, he leapt into his car, and sped off, his son running behind him, trying to catch up. He finally slammed on the brakes, and Griff clambered into the car, and it finally left out of their line of sight.

Sara was oddly calm, she just was leaning against Scooter, the wound bleeding quite freely. He has his hand pressed against the wound, trying to slow it down, but it was proving to be hard. She turned slightly and looked at him. He was a mess, his glasses were still missing, and he had a few stratches from the fight just moments before. His shirt and arms were bloody, as he held her close.

"Don't worry...." Sara said, whispering. She just nodded, smiling. "She'll be fine."

Scooter could only look at her, about to cry once more. He held her tightly, then he blanched, seeing the old Electric Mayhem's bus and the grayish van pulling up towards Doc's garage. Doc himself leapt outside, he was worried about them seeing each other, until he saw what had happened.

"Great Scott! What happened....Nevermind, I'll be right back!" He asked, kneeling down beside them. He just shook his head, and ran inside, finding a medical bag that he had. "Got to get you stablized first, before you answer that!"

He proceeded to cover up the wound, as someone in the van used a car phone to call the hospital. A few minutes later the EMC came, and they took her away to the local hospital.

"We completely blew it, Emmett." Kermit remarked. He couldn't help but look at their younger selves, and it was the same for them. Scooter just sat there on the pavement, still bloody. Sara's ring had slipped off, when he held her hand eariler. He just stared at it, no thoughts coming forth.

The younger Scooter was staring as well, from the front seat of the Mayhem's bus. He wanted to ask so much, but somehow...he felt his own pain. He knew something had happened, that was undescriblely horrible, and he stayed still.

Piggy stood up, huffing. "Well, I don't see the universe exploding, so seeing ourselves couldn't have been bad!" She frowned then she saw her younger self. "Hi. Doc, we need to get to the hospital. Should we take our bus?"

He just threw his arms in the air. "Might as well! We've killed every law of physics, and the ability to time travel today, I guess it dosnt' matter if they see the bus now either!"

Everyone agreed, and they all started back towards the bus. But Scooter, he didn't budge from the spot on the pavement. Both Kermits and the younger Scooter walked over to him. The older Kermit put his hand on Scooter's shoulder and halfway kneeled down.

"Come on with us, you'll see if she's alright then." Kermit looked at the area on the pavement, it was stained with drops of blood and charger powder from the gun.

Scooter stood up, and finally looked at himself. He just sighed, and took off his shirt. He was only wearing his undershirt then, as he walked back towards the bus.

The younger Kermit and Scooter stood there for a moment. They had said nothing, but they were curious about how they were in the future.

"Wow..." Scooter just stated, as the two finally walked back towards their own bus.

"I wonder what scared you so bad, Scooter?" Kermit said, smirking.

"Hey! At least I'm not wearing glasses around my neck like some old lady!"

He smirked again, crossing his arms and glancing over at Scooter as they settled into the seats on the bus. "I don't have a problem with glasses, Scooter. I'm just honestly suprised you have this full head of gray hair. You're younger then I am!"

Scooter frowned at Kermit. "You're a frog, you don't have hair."

"Oh, right." He dropped the smirking expression, as the bus was pulling out of the driveway. The other bus pulled out from around the back of the garage, and the van came last. All three vehicles were on their way to the hospital now.

 

[The Count]

Well... Brought it up because...

The story, with Chapter One, starts in the year 2006.
And then in Chapter Seven, after the reading of the letter, you have Doc Brown and Marty traveling to the year 2027. Presumed that the actual present action was taking place in that year, up to when the bus was converted and the gang went back to 1985... And thus, also thought the revelation of the Tannens as the ones behind the theft of the plans, an event which as I say thought happened in 2027, was also in 2027.
Just trying to untangle this... Hope it helped, somewhat.

 

[ReneeLouvier]

GAH!!! >_O This is why I've said I get headaches from BTTF......Geezusssss...........

I've just totally messed up my own story now.....OKAY.

1985: Original time Doc and Marty came from.

2006: First time we get to meet Sara and Scooter together, also same timeline where Scooter had HCV, met his mom, yadda yadda yadda. Also ends up where we meet Muppeters. (I'm stretching logic claiming artist licence as to why Dead muppeters are actually alive and well in this timeline.)

2027: Future Muppets, with Sara pregnant, and everything else.

If it was going as supposed to it would be this:

1985: Doc/Marty go to 2006. DeLeroan breaks down, Doc finds out about the letter that Scooter wrote. Only Kermit, Sadie, Bunsen and Beaker know of such letter. They go to the future.

2027: They are in the future, they find out Scooter's wife is in prison, they come up with a plan, to get her out. An artifical pregnancy, come to find out they don't need it.

In this time, the Tannens are plotting to steal the time machine, but instead they just steal the plans, or so they thought. They do not get these plans, so they decide to raid Doc's house in the future. He is not present at his house, as per he is still currently with the Muppets. Still in 2027, Tannens make time machine, they take various money making items with them, to 2006.

Back in 2027, Doc finds out plans to time machine are gone, so he (and other muppets) travel all the way back to 2006. NOT 1985!

So....I'm not sure anymore, if you can understand that, you'll figure out where I made the mistake. So apperently it dosn't matter that Marty went to 1985, as this dosn't concern his timeline anymore. Only 2006, and 2027 are affected.

 

[redBoobergurl]

Wow....I'm speechless! I just read everything you wrote from last night through now and wow!!! It's amazing! All the action and suspense and the gunshot and gosh! I have to know what happens next!

Chapter Thirty Four

They got to the hospital, and he was worried what would happen to Sara, and the baby. He didn't want to budge now from the bus seat, and no one really had the gall to try to move him either. So he stayed on the bus, staring silently out of the window.

He was still on there, when he noticed somebody else came onto the bus, and sat down beside him, across the small aisle. Then somebody else came onto the bus as well, and sat in front of him.

"I told you guys, I'll come in when I'm ready..." He said sullenly, still looking out of the window.

"Well, she'd probably want you in there, Scooter." The one in front of him replied. Scooter looked up towards the seat, and he saw it...it was Gonzo.

"Gonzo?" He asked, for as he knew it, in his current timeline, Gonzo had been dead for nearly two years then. "....She wouldn't know I was there. So what does it matter?"

Gonzo reached forward, and just grabbed Scooter by his gray hair, and started to pull him out of the seat. "You're coming with me then, you're not going to sit out here, and mope the entire time! She needs you Scooter!"

"How do you know that! She could be dead for all I know, my child...that-that's not even born yet could be dead as well!!!" He yelled, wrenching away from Gonzo's grip. Gonzo just stood there, and he smiled softly.

"They arn't."

"They arn't what!?"

"Just go inside, you'll see what I mean." He smiled, and moved over to the side, to let Scooter by. He was running at full tilt now, to get inside of the hospital.

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

"Where is she guys?" He stopped, panting softly, looking at his friends. Kermit pointed towards a small room, the door was halfway open.

Walking inside the room, he saw Sara awake. Obviously drugged, but awake. She was cooing to something in her arms.

"Hey there....yeah....shhh now...I've got'cha...Momma's got'cha..." She whispered softly, giving the small baby a gentle kiss on it's cheek. Scooter was silent, smiling.

He walked over, and looked at the baby in his wife's arms. She was perfect in every way he thought. A little bit of red hair, with wide eyes, and a shortish body. She was human, as was her mother, but interestingly enough she had slightly orange tinged skin.

"She's beautiful, Sara." He whispered softly, letting the baby grasp his finger. The little one pulled it closer to herself, and tried to put it into her mouth. He softly chuckled.

They didn't notice it, but a few of the other muppets had come into the room silently. The doctor came in the room just then. He smiled at them graciously, pulling out the records.

"Ms. Vines, alright. You're fully awake now, what would you like to call the baby?" He flipped through a few charts and found one for the baby's birth certificate.

Sara blanched a little bit. "Um....I'm Sara Grosse. Not Sara Vines. And...uh....Renee. That's what I'll call the baby girl...but...when can I leave?"

The doctor frowned a little bit, and noted the baby's name on the paper anyways. He figured just not ask about it. He reached forward, and pulled down the hospital gown a little bit, inspecting the deep wound.

"You're quite lucky, Ms....Grosse. That bullet almost hit your heart. But you'll have to stay for a couple more days at least, or until your wound clears up enough it seems safe to leave. Then you and your baby can go home."

Sara sighed, and then smiled. "Okay. That's fine Doctor.." She gave a face to him, as if to leave the room, and he complied with it.

"What happened when....when you got in here, Sara?" Scooter asked, watching little Renee closely, smiling.

"Well, the shock from the gunwound sent me into labor, but as I was knocked out for safety reasons, they ended up just....I don't know what they did exactly because I was really drugged out of it for most of the time. Basically I remember coming in here, in labor with the gunshot wound, and suddenly I've got my baby in my arms, and the wound is patched up." She shrugged softly, and watched as her little girl was making some noises, happy noises.

She handed the little baby over to Scooter, and he smiled, holding her gently; as if she was the most precious thing in the world.

 

[The Count]

Yeah... Nice heartwarming chapter... Mother and child are doing fine... Good grief, that's Muppet child number...
And a bit of a touching moment on the bus between Future Scooter and Gonzo, was the second figure who joined him on the bus little Robin?

 

[The Count]

And as for the story's temporal continuity... The best way I've heard it explained was on the animated series Static Shock: "If you think about it too much, your head will explode."

Since I've watched a lot of this stuff, I kinda understand it a bit better... Makes sense to me to have what's happening at the moment...
The bus trip back in time, the Tannens arriving back in time, Sara's giving birth to Renee, the meeting with the Muppeteers...
All of that taking place in 1985.

But it's your story, and if you want to have it in 2006 instead, well, that's fine as well. Just make a note of it for when going over the story for corrections when it comes time to print it up as well, should you decide to print this one.

Personally, the story's flowing quite well and I'm anticipating the next installment.

 

[redBoobergurl]

Ohhh, how sweet! I'm so glad they're both all right! And Gonzo! Very awesome, but who was the other individual that came on the bus? I was a little confused and read that part twice. Anyway, a very nice chapter, looking forward to more.

Chapter Thirty Five

After a few days of getting healed, Sara and little Renee were released from the hospital. She stood against the bus, holding the baby against her, while watching everyone else say their goodbyes.

She saw Scooter going towards Gonzo, with a concerned look on his face; and she stepped in front of him, blocking his path. Looking down at him, she frowned softly.

"Sweetheart, no. I know...I know what you're wanting to say to him." She held one hand on his shoulder, looking at him. "But we can't try to change the future. It wouldn't be right!"

Scooter sadly nodded, but then his attention turned to Kermit who was watching Robin sadly as well. They all knew, but it was hard not to say something about it. He just gripped Sara's hand and bit his lip.

Little Robin, who was only 6 years old hopped over to Sara, and he looked at her smiling. "Wow, can I see the baby?" He asked her.

Sara knelt down, and held the baby close to him, so he could see her. She yawned and opened her eyes looking at him. "Her name's Renee."

"Hi, Renee! You're...a really pretty baby." He tickled her a little bit, and then he put his tiny hand in her's. By this time, Sara was actually sitting on the ground holding Renee in front of Robin. Scooter was standing behind her.

Kermit, the older one, walked over and kneeled down beside Sara, and smiled, watching Robin with the baby. He had never seen a baby human before, so this was really new to him.

"Robin?" Sara asked the little frog. "Can you promise me something?"

"Sure what's that Ms. Sara?"

"B...Be careful when you get older, okay?" She said, trying not to cry now. She saw Gonzo walking over, as well as a few of the others. "Both of you, be careful, please.."

"Uh, sure, Ms. Sara. Why wouldn't we be careful?" The younger Kermit asked her, she merely shrugged, not able to say anymore. If she opened her mouth, she knew she'd outright say it.

"Maybe it's time we go, Sara." Scooter remarked. It was getting harder and harder to keep his mouth shut over the incident with Gonzo and Robin....it was painfully hard.

Their future selves all piled onto a bus, with Sara and Scooter sitting in the backmost seat. Scooter was on the side of the aisle, holding Renee in his arms, while Sara was against the window, watching as they started to pull away.

She went against all worry about changing history, and she let a small piece of paper flutter out the window. She wasn't sure if it hit the ground in one piece or not. She thought, she would know when they got back.

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

Gonzo saw the piece of paper flutter wildly out from the back bus window. He caught it before it hit the ground. Curiously, he opened the piece of paper.

"Gonzo and Robin -- Please don't try to play the trombone and tap-dance in midair. You'll thank me later!"

He read it again, and put it into his pocket. Then Kermit called out to him that they had to leave so they could get back to the theatre in time for the show.

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

The bus pulled up in front of the boarding house, and Doc saw the DeLeoran was in the driveway when they pulled up. All of the muppets came rushing out of the house when they heard the bus pulling up.

Because of the quick job they did, they ended up needing to put it nearly 3 days past the time they had left originally. So, in short, they were gone for three days then.

"Where is Sara!" Sadie's yell could be heard above the throng of muppets and monsters. She forcefully pushed her way through the crowd, frowning. A taller thin frog was laughing, watching the others pile out. He got pushed to the side by Sadie.

"Hey, watch out, you nearly stepped on me!" The thin frog protested. He was watching for someone he knew and loved. He saw him make his way through the crowd then.

"UNCLE KERMIT!!!!" He yelled as loud as he could. He hopped up and down, trying to get his Uncle's attention. Although he was grown up, he was still a small frog. He hopped up on Gonzo's shoulders and waved his hands madly until Kermit looked in his direction.

"...R...Robin?" He said, quite amazed. He made his way through the crowd, as they parted like the Red Sea to let him through. "...your alive...." He managed to stammer.

"Well, of course I'm alive, Uncle Kermit!" He laughed softly, as he gently was sitting on Gonzo's shoulders. "And Gonzo is too. What's so big about that?"

"I...uh...oh...." He couldn't find the words to speak anymore. And Sara made her way through the crowd, as they started to disperse back into the house.

"Kermit?" She said hesitantly. "I think...I might have something to do with this."

"What did you do?" He demanded.

"I wasn't sure if they would get it, but I couldn't stand...for that to happen. I wrote a note and let it drop from the bus, as we were pulling out..." She explained, as Kermit was looking quite happy and quite mad at the same time.

Gonzo reached into his pocket, and pulled out a small laminated card of some sorts. It was the scribbled note that Sara had written nearly 20 years ago. "I kept it. I figured out it had some signifinace. I never did that act, and...I guess we had died from it, didn't we?"

Sara and Kermit nodded. Sadie walked over to Sara, holding Renee in her arms, smiling. "Let's go see your cousin Kevin then, why don't we!"

Gonzo smiled at Sara, and he laughed a little bit. "Thanks."

She nodded, and started to walk inside. She wondered if anything else was different.

"AUNTIE SARA!!!" Came two voices, as she was nearly trampled by a pig, a frog, and a bear.

Sara looked up, and she smiled.

"Hey guys! Wow....you've got quite the strength!" They helped her to her feet, and she laughed a little bit.

"You went to the future didn't you!?" Jane asked, her eyes large and very curious about everything that Sara had done.

"Future!!!" James yelled, happily. "The future!!"

"Did you find anything interesting?" Frank asked then, smiling.

"Actually I went to the past. I never went into the future." She replied to them, walking towards the kitchen.

"Oh...did you see anything cool in the past though!? Tell us, we want to know all the juicy details!!" Jane exclaimed, and the three of them crowded into the kitchen to listen to what Auntie Sara had to say.

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

"Everything seems the same around here, Chief." Scooter replied, as the two of them sat outside on the lawn. They watched from afar the usual chaos and mayhem within those walls. "The only difference is that Gonzo and Robin are alive now."

"Something's different, Scooter. I can't put my finger on it, but something is different now." Kermit sighed softly, watching the stars start to twinkle overhead.

A car came rumbling up towards the boarding house, and an old man came out of it. He walked over and kicked Scooter in the shoulder suddenly.

"Hey! What's the big idea doing that!?" He yelled to the old guy behind him.

"Don't you go 'bout saying that. Ya never told us Sara was having a kid, an' you deserved it, ya muppety thing." The old man drawled, while frowning at Scooter. "Sadie done called us, an' tol me 'bout the baby, so I came down to see it. See what a muppety thing like you and my darlin' would make."

"Oh.....James! I didn't recoginze you at all....yeah, go on in. She's somewhere in the house. The little baby, her names' Renee. She's either with my Mother, or with Sara." He nodded smiling.

"Thank ya boy. I'm coming out a bit later, ta talk to ya 'bout something. Alright?"

"Sure, Mr. Vines. I'll be out here for awhile now."

"Good ta hear it then. Now where's my lil' grandbaby?" He said to no one in particular as he walked inside the house.

 

[redBoobergurl]

I loved this chapter! Possibly one of the best yet with the struggle of telling Gonzo and Robin about the future or not and man, it just gets you right here you know? Anyway, it was nice to see everyone reunited happily. I know the story isn't over yet though! Looking forward to more!
