Chapter 11: Hopelessly Devoted.......To Vous?
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!""" Walter continued to scream after he ran right off the stage after the "Wig Fiasco" just minutes ago. He then stopped to catch his breath and sat down on a nearby chair. Libby Lou, still coughing and sitting in a seat, couldn't help but weakly ask "How'd it go?" "Well..." Walter started as he was still trying to catch his breath, "I think I might have embarrassed myself in front of thousands of people." "Well...did you at least have fun out there?" Libby Lou then asked and coughed again. Walter then looked up......and smiled. "Yes," he replied. "Yes...Yes I did! I saved the show, made a fool of myself....and had fun all at the same time!" "That's good," she then said, weakly. "Fun is what's most important...not looking good....having.....-cough- fun." "Thanks, Libby," Walter said and headed back into his dressing, passing Janice along the way as she was heading downstairs to get ready for her big number coming up.
"He like pulled off the wig onstage, didn't he?" Janice asked Libby Lou. "Yup," Libby Lou replied and coughed. Janice shook her head. She knew it was going to happen. That....or he was going to fall into the pit face first. Luckily, the first thing happened instead. She then headed to the other side of the stage to find her place for the next scene.
Floyd and Kermit then walked off the stage together. Floyd was not in shock from what just happened. Like Janice, he knew something bad was going to happen in that scene. "He was gonna rip off the wig. He was gonna rip off the wig. He was rip pull off the wig," Floyd repeated, annoying Kermit. "I GET IT!" Kermit yelled. "Yeah, but he had fun out there......even if he did embarrass himself in front of thousands of people," Libby Lou butted in.
"Who told her to speak?" Floyd asked. He then turned to Libby Lou and asked "What happened to your flu?" "I still have it, you moron," Libby Lou replied. Floyd and Libby Lou barely liked each other. She may have been his dance partner, but that doesn't mean he had to like her. "And by the way," she added in. "I'm glad Walter danced with you." "Why?" Floyd asked. "You may be a good singer, George Harrison, but you're a baaaaaaaaad dancer," Libby teased and laughed weakly before coughing again. "Ahhh, go back to slumber land, Libby Lou," Floyd said, trying to shoo her off as he was getting his bass guitar tuned and his headset set for "Hopelessly Devoted." Libby Lou then tossed her curly brunette hair and headed back to her dressing room. Before she went in, she said weakly to Floyd "I hate you." "Go find a ditch and bury yourself in it, honey," Floyd said, not caring about what Libby Lou just said to him. Kermit couldn't help but notice the dislike between Floyd and Libby Lou. Sure Floyd hated Miss Piggy, but hating Libby Lou was pretty close to it, as well. "Floyd," Kermit started. "Why do you and Libby Lou hate each other?" Floyd looked over at Kermit and started to reply "Because she thinks I'm a............"
"Hey, boss," Scooter interrupted. "Janice is on stage and ready for the scene." Kermit nodded and then turned to Floyd and said "Whenever you're ready, Floyd." Floyd smiled and nodded. "Okay, guys," Floyd said into his headset, getting his bass guitar into position. "Sweetly and heart breaking. One, two, three, four......."
Floyd and the rest of the band started the intro to "Hopelessly Devoted To You." Janice looked alluring as the set turned to starry skies, glittering. She was leaning on a balcony ledge, holding a picture of Floyd she had.
(Janice)
Guess mine is not the first heart broken,
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
There's just no gettin' over you
Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see
There's nothin' else for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
She then came down the staircase, continuing to sing.
(Janice)
But now
There's.........
All of a sudden, Miss Piggy, still in the dress she wore in the scene before came on, interrupting Janice's solo by belting out the solo herself.
(Miss Piggy)
.......
nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm not in my head
Hopelessly devoted to vous
Hopelessly devoted to vous
Floyd was in shock when he saw Miss Piggy out there, but he couldn't set down his bass guitar to stop it. It was still Janice's song, either way. And no matter what, he promised he play the song for her on his bass guitar.
(Miss Piggy)
Hopelessly devoted to vous
"Piggy," Janice said looking down. "Like what are you doing here?" "This is moi's solo," Miss Piggy replied. "No it isn't," Janice replied. "It's MY solo." "No it isn't," Miss Piggy argued. "Yes it is," Janice answered back. "No it isn't," Miss Piggy said again. "Yes it i......." Janice tried to say. "NO IT ISN'T!" Miss Piggy yelled.
"Okay, let's like make it fair for both of us before we like start killing each other," Janice suggested. "Let's both sing it." "That....doesn't sound like a bad idea," Miss Piggy replied in agreement. "Okay, so we like missed the second verse," Janice said, a little disappointed. "But there's always the chorus, mon dearie," Miss Piggy replied happily.
(Janice)
But now there's nowhere to hide,
Since you pushed my love aside
(Miss Piggy)
I'm not in my head
(Both)
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
The song ended with Miss Piggy singing the higher note. Even if the song didn't turn out the way it was supposed to be, there was still a thunderous applause. Well.....almost. "We're supposed to be hopelessly devoted to that?" Waldorf asked. "I think we're hopelessly in NEED of leaving," Statler replied. "Dohohohohoho," the two laughed together.
Janice quickly rushed to Floyd after she got offstage and asked "So, like, how'd I do?" "Well....minus the stage hog," Floyd started. "You were amazing out there, baby doll. I'm proud of you." He then kissed her forehead and let her go change for her next scene.
"Okay, "Beauty School Dropout!' 'Beauty School Dropout", up next. Animal go get ready," Kermit announced. He then glanced at Animal, grunting while carrying his heavy drum set up the stairs for his place in Beauty School Dropout. The confused Kermit then turned to Floyd and asked "Floyd, why does Animal have his drum set with him?" "He said it's a surprise," Floyd replied and chuckled. "Oh boy...." Kermit said, second guessing himself about WHY he cast Animal as the Teen Angel in the first place.

I love how I added a helpful but snarky personality to Libby Lou, instead of just making her "some random whatnot." Anyways, next chapter will be coming soon, so stay tuned!
Also, here's Hopelessly Devoted To You (If you have good headphones on or good speakers, you'll hear the bass part to this song):
