FanFic: Penguin With A Dream

[Princeton]

Part 13 (It gets a little gross here... and sad)

With their new purchases in tow, the quintet decided to spend the night in Utah, see the sights the next day, and then straight to Beverly Hills for the talent show. While the rest of the gang settled in their trailer that they rented, Chamberlain went to the nearest convenience store to get a newspaper. Once there, he paid for his newspaper and was about to get in the car when he saw a familiar looking black car pull up beside him. Chamberlain, up to this point, had never seen Mr. Lords up close but he remembered what his car looked like. He just stayed put and ducked down in his seat as Mr. Lords walked into the store. When he walked out, he had a small bottle of cyanide and a container of lighter fluid. Before he got back in the car, he took a syringe out of his pocket, stuck it in the cyanide bottle, and injected it in his black eyeball. That was too much for Chamberlain as he quickly sped away back to the trailer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Chamberlain returned to his friends, he relayed to them Mr. Lords' purchases and also a disturbing headline in the newspaper: "Cocaine Found In Bloodstream Of Texas Rodeo Horse". Fozzie said "Well, that would explain why he was so violent." Just then, a flash was seen outside the trailer's window and a smell of something burning filled the air. Then the inside started feeling warm to the gang. "Quick, evacuate!" yelled Chamberlain as he scooped everybody in his arms, grabbed his sabre and ran through the smoldering wall. He gathered everyone into the car when he heard a scared "moooo..." coming from the burning trailer.

"Lightning! Chamberlain, you've gotta save him; save him like he saved me!" cried Fozzie.

Chamberlain rushed in, battled his way through the fire with his sabre, and found Lightning, shaking on his little legs. "Help me, Chamberlain, please get me out." cried Lightning. Chamberlain scooped him up and screamed through the flames, "This is one piece of veal you're not getting, Lords!" He then ran with Lightning wailing in his arms back to the car.

 

[The Count]

Ooooooh! Scary stuff. But that's why this is a good story. Hope the gang makes it to the fan club talent show in one piece.

Part 14

The next day, Chamberlain drove through Utah with a murderous look on his face. Why is Mr. Lords doing this to us, he thought. Lightning turned out to be fine, but Chamberlain still couldn't get the sound of his frightened mooing out of his head. "He's not getting away with this." he finally spoke up. "We're not giving up without a fight."

"Chamberlain, listen to me: he'll kill you if you try to fight back. I can risk losing my friends from the Rock, I can even risk losing my own life, but I won't let him kill you. Don't you see it's me he wants? He's just trying to kill all of you to get to me." said Mokey.

"But Mokey, don't you realize we want to take that risk? We're a team, and sometimes teams need to make sacrifices" said Chamberlain as he slowed down in front of a billboard. In big bold lettering it said "Come Compete In The Salt Lake National Stock Car Race, Brought To You By Lords Industries."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Chamberlain, what do I have to do to get you to snap out of this?" pleaded Mokey as Chamberlain strapped himself in his race car.

"Absolutely nothing, my dear. I must do this." said Chamberlain as he put his helmet on and drove on to practice before the starting gun. Determined to stop this, Mokey thought and thought and thought of a way to foil this. Just then, Lindy walked up to her and with a mischevious smile on his face, he handed her the box of radishes and said "All you need is one to get the job done."

Mokey snuck over to the opponent's car and discovered there was no driver; it was robotic! She pried open the hood and a spark shot out and ripped her sleeve open. Wincing in pain, she threw a radish in and ran away.

A few minutes later, the starting gun fired and Chamberlain and the robot car took off. Chamberlain whipped around those tight turns with great ease, while the robot car sputtered and wheezed before finally exploding. The announcer said "And the winner is... Chamberlain Harrison!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the arena cleared out, Mr. Lords and Jasper examined the robotic wreckage. Mr. Lords dug out a radish with a spark plug in it and fumed quietly, "Mokey."

"But, Mr. Lords, they have that talent show tomorrow. What'll we do then?" asked Jasper.

"What any respectable gentleman would do: let them have their fun... while they still can." replied Mr. Lords

 

[The Count]

Now why does this stock car race remind me f the early Herbie mvies? And a chilling end... Come on guys, make it to the talent show safely!

 

[MartyMuppets]

Amazing. And it makes me wonder what can of guy is this villain who can safely inject deadly cyanide into one of his eyes?
The suspense and intrigue is just simply intensifying and I do hope they all survive and triumph in the end.

 

[Princeton]

And it makes me wonder what kind of guy is this villain who can safely inject deadly cyanide into one of his eyes?

Ah, just wait and see, my friend. Just wait and see.

 

[redBoobergurl]

Wow...alot of chapters for me to get caught up on...but I will and I'll be back later to report more.

 

[The Count]

So... Can we get an update, please?

 

[redBoobergurl]

Yes, please update, I'm all caught up now! It's so intense. I like the part with Mokey and the radishes. Anyway, please, more!

Part 15

At long last, Chamberlain, Mokey, Lindy, Fozzie, and Lightning finally made it to the talent show! Lindy was properly registered and everyone except Mokey went backstage. Mokey seemed to be frozen in place as she saw who one of the ushers was. Of everything she had endured after leaving the Rock, of all the times Jasper had beaten her, of all the times she had locked herself in her bedroom while Lindy was outside her door consoling her, seeing him- HIM!- after long last, made everything seem worthwhile.

"GOBO!" Mokey screamed. She ran straight towards him, picked him up and hugged him with all her might. "Oh, Gobo, I thought I'd never see you again! Oh, and of all the places for me to have run into you." They walked into the auditorium together and got all caught up. Meanwhile, Scoop was standing by the wings, communicating with someone via a walkie talkie.
