Epilogue
Eli sat in the balcony, looking over the set designs he had done. He felt that they would look wonderful for Miss Piggy's number. He watched as his now friends were all milling about, getting ready for tonights show. He smiled. He's stayed with for nearly a month now.
"What are you doing up there, Eli? We need you backstage before the show starts!!" Scooter yelled up at Eli, who floated down to him.
"Oh, I was just admiring the stage setup, that's all! I believe Miss Piggy would throughly enjoy it....the reds vibrantly clashing with the purples in her dress...it will look wonderful." He smiled, quite proud of his work. He had been doing sets for nearly the entire month, while also taking the time to finish up cleaning the entire backstage area. Those drawings were exceedingly hard to clean off. He was still working at it.
"Right. Well, get backstage before the audience comes in. Seeing a...ghost would drive them out of here." He nodded, walking backstage, with Eli following close after.
---------
Kermit was sitting in his office, looking over the papers again. The insurance, and the water bills. The setup for tonights show. Where everyone was going to be, the skits, the music. He never even noticed the lone, soft-stepped spirit enter his room.
The spirit, she sat softly in a large old battered armchair. She smoothed out it's dress, and pulled up it's socks, smiling.
"Kermit?" She asked, her voice as soft as a summer breeze.
Kermit muttered something, rummaging around in his desk for a pen, and started to sign some of those papers. "Yeah? If it's about the jokes tonight, or the....or Gonzo's act, I'll talk later...okay?"
She laughed, smiling. "Kermit? You're just too wrapped up as usual arn't you?"
Kermit stopped, and laid the pen down, he glanced slowly over his shoulder, hearing that soft sweet voice again. "N-Nanny?"
"Hello Kermit. I see my brother's been doing well, I take it."
"Yes! Very well....he's completely turned over a new leaf."
She nodded her head, looking down at her hands for a moment, before folding them up in her lap. She smiled at Kermit, quite happy to see him again.
"I heard your song. And I've watched your shows....my, you've grown up so well."
Kermit blushed a little bit, still seated in his chair, his pen leaking ink on the floor now. He saw it, and placed it back in it's holder. "Thanks. What are you doing here though?"
"Me and mother have come to take Eli back with us. He's done his time here. He's repaid his debt to all of you, as best he could."
The frog nodded, then looked Nancy straight in the face. "Has he repaid his debt to you though?"
"What do you mean? He has no debts to repay me. Why would he?"
He frowned, remembering when she had called him, a few years ago. "He caused that accident, you know. It was his fault."
She looked to the side, her hair starting to obsecure her face from him. "Oh...Kevin. No, that wasn't his fault at all. It was an accident, Kermit."
He stood up from the seat then, he was getting angry, but at what he wasn't even sure. "But...you lost your son. How could not feel anger towards him?"
"I know my brother...that's why. It was simply an accident, Kermit. He too was almost killed by it."
Kermit sighed, and sat back down heavily in the seat. He wished he could do more, but he wasn't sure what to do, how to help. It all seemed pointless sometimes.
Nancy stood up from the armchair, and walked over to Kermit. She smiled, reaching around his arms, and giving him a hug. She felt cold as ice, yet...somehow as warm as the sunlight filtering down from the summer sky. She smelled like roses, and the sweet marsh grasses Kermit remembered from when he was a little frog. He closed his eyes, and he smiled.
"I still need to get Eli, Kermit. Where is he?"
"Oh. He's downstairs, probably lineing up the costumes or something like that."
She nodded and walked downstairs, not too suprisingly, no one really noticed her. She walked over to Eli, and tapped him on the shoulder. Kermit watched from the door of his office, he smiled. Nancy smiled back at him, and the two walked down the hallway, talking as they simply dissapeared into nothingness.

"What are you looking at, Kermie?" Piggy asked sweetly, as she leaned over in front of him, to show off her purple sequined dress to him. He just smiled, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Ooh, Kermie! What's the special occasion, moi's froggy?"
"Everything's going to be alright, Miss Piggy."
She stopped for a second, and looked at him, quite puzzled. "Come again?"
He smiled, and closed the door, walking down the stairs with Piggy behind him.
"We've got a lot of people watching out for us, Piggy. Everything is going to be alright."

It was just the first name that came to mind to tell the truth.
When you look at the Muppets, you hardly ever wonder about their anatomy; but from your stories, Renee, you made them far more real than Jim did, especially with the references to Scooter's stitches.
So that makes this a reference.
Just a little something interesting.
