Chapter 4:
Emmet Otter and his jug-band had just finished practicing in their treehouse and started walking home.
"Nice day, isn't it?", Emmet asked his friends.
"Sure is", Harvey replied.
"Hey, doesn't that look like the meadow Bean Bunny and his family live in?", Charlie asked as he looked off into the distance.
"Yeah. It does", Wendell replied.
"Remember the day we met him in that meadow?", Emmet asked.
"Who could forget it?", Harvey answered.
A flashback occurs as Emmet tells what happened.
"We were fishing at the river when we heard singing in the distance. We followed the sound for a while until we reached the meadow and saw a bunch of bunnies hopping and singing:
Hello sunshine, hello birds on the wing.
Hello springtime, we've been waiting for spring.
Hello sunshine, hello birds on the wing.
Hello springtime, we've been living for spring.
"As we looked around, I noticed one bunny who looked like he needed some help", Emmet continued.
"That was Bean, right?", Wendell asked.
"Yep. That was Bean.", Emmet said.
Emmet: Hey, little fella. You need some help?
Bean: Yeah. I'm trying to hang this flower chain on that branch, but I can't reach it.
Charlie: We'll help you. What's your name?
Bean: Bean, Bean Bunny.
Emmet: Well, my name's Emmet and these are my friends, Wendell, Harvey and Charlie.
Bean: Nice to meet you.
Harvey: So, what's with all the decorations?
Bean: We're getting ready for the first day of spring. That's when we have our annual Bunny Picnic.
Charlie: Bunny Picnic?
Bean: That's where all the bunnies that live here come together and have fun and celebrate the first day of spring.
Emmet: Sounds very nifty.
Wendell: This meadow is so beautiful.
Bean: Thanks.
Emmet: Here, let me help you with that flower chain. (Hangs chain on the branch) How does that look?
Bean: Looks great. Do you want to meet my family and friends.
Emmet: Sure.
Bean: Twitch! Lugsy! I've made some new friends. Come on over, guys. This is Emmet, Harvey, Wendell and Charlie. Guys, this is my big brother, Lugsy and my big sister, Twitch.
Twitch: Nice to meet you.
Lugsy: So, Where did you guys come from?
Emmet: Frogtown Hollow. It's not very far from here.
Harvey: You should see it. There's a river running through it
Wendell: and everyone who lives there is real nice.
Twitch: I'd like to see it someday.
Lugsy: Me, too.
Mother Bunny: Twitch! Lugsy! Bean! Time to come in!
Twitch: That's our mother. Come with us.
Lugsy: Yeah. Our mom and dad are really nice. I'm sure they won't mind visitors.
Bean: Mother! We have some new friends we want you to see. This is Emmet and this is Harvey, Charlie and Wendell.
Emmet: Hello, Mrs. Bunny.
Mother: Pleasure to meet you boys. Where did you come from?
Emmet: A place called Frogtown Hollow.
Mother: And what do you boys do there.
Emmet: Well, we go to school, do our chores, things like that.
Harvey: We're also a jug-band.
Lugsy, Twitch and Bean: A Jug-band?
Emmet: Yeah. I play washtub bass,
Wendell: I blow the jug
Charlie: I play a cigar box banjo
Harvey: and I play kazoo and washboard.
Lugsy: Wow. I never met a jug-band before.
Twitch: Me, either.
Emmet: Sometimes we perform with my ma. She's real nice.
Charlie: And she has a fantastic singing voice.
Twitch: Our mother has a great singing voice, too. Right, mother?
Mother: Well, I don't know if mine is as good as your mother's, Emmet.
Father: But it's beautiful just the same.
Mother: Aww!
Dog: I'm comin' to get you, bunnies!
Charlie: What was that?
Bean: Don't worry. That's our friend, the dog.
Wendell: Are you sure he's nice?
Bean: Positive. (Whistles) Hey, dog! Over here!
Be-bop: Hey, Be-bop-de-Bean. What's happening?
Bean: Guys, these are our new friends, Emmet, Wendell, Harvey and Charlie.
And these are my friends, Be-bop, Babble, Snort, Bulbous and our dog friend, Mr. De-dop-de...What was it, Be-bop?
Be-bop: Mr. De-dop-de-diddly-dog-bop.
Harvey: Whoa! That's a mouthful to say.
Dog: You can just call me Mr. Dog for short.
Bean: These guys are a jug-band believe it or not.
All: Wow!
Babble: A real jug-band! If I'll say it once, I'll say it a thousand times. That's what we need for the picnic, a jug-band. They can sing, play music...
Bunnies: Babble!
Bean: So, would you like to sing at the picnic?
Emmet: Sure. I'm sure my ma would also love to do it. When's the picnic?
Bean: Two days away.
Emmet: We'll do it. Right, guys?
Wendell, Harvey and Charlie: Right!
(Bunnies Cheer)
"And when they had their picnic, we sang and played music for the bunnies and we all had a great time, especially my ma.", Emmet continued.
"I can't wait to visit him again.", Wendell said.
"Me, either", Harvey replied.
"Me, too", Charlie replied.
"I wonder what Bean, Lugsy and Twitch are doing now?", Emmet asked.

 

[RedPiggy]

That really improved the readability. Good job.

I never saw Emmet, so I can't really comment on it much, but this still sounds really cool. You are bringing in a lot more characters than I thought.

Chapter 5:
Bean, Twitch and Lugsy are sitting around near a pond on a warm, sunny day.
"Boy, sure is nice today, isn't it?", Bean asked his siblings.
"It sure is, Bean.", Lugsy replied.
"Hey, guys! You want to play tag with us?", Be-bop asked.
"Sure. We'll be right there!", Bean replied.
(Bunnies laugh as they play then Bean falls and lands near an opening in the ground)
"Are you okay, Bean?", Twitch asked as she helped her brother on to his feet.
"I'm fine", Bean answered as he brushed the dirt of him then looks at the hole.
"Hey, what does this look like to you, guys?", he then asks his friends.
"Bean, it's just a regular hole in the ground. What else would it look like?", Lugsy answered.
"No, to me, it kind of looks like a Fraggle hole, you know, a tunnel to Fraggle Rock.", Bean replied.
"Are you sure you're not just using your imagination?", Lugsy asked.
"No. Don't you even remember when we all went inside the hole and into Fraggle Rock?", Bean asked.
"Oh, yeah. I remember.", Twitch said as a flashback happens.
"We were playing around and suddenly, I found the hole in the ground. I thought it was just a normal hole, but then I heard music and singing inside it", Bean explains.
"Yeah and it was good music, music to my bunny ears.", Be-bop added.
"Be-bop, I figured he was using his imagination as he usually does," Lugsy added.
"Yeah, but I invited all of you over and listened. That's when we decided to look inside and we crawled in. When we went down, I couldn't believe there was so many tunnels ans caverns inside. All of it was so beautiful!", Bean added.
"Yeah, the prettiest tunnels I've ever seen!", Babble added.
"I didn't think tunnels were that pretty.", Snort said.
"Anyway, then we heard singing in one of the tunnels:
Hip, hip hooray, we're gonna dance and sing all day.
We're number one and we've just begun
and now it's time to play.
Hip, hip hooree, let's shout for you and me.
We do our best to beat the test and now it's time for tea.
"I've never seen any creatures like them before. That's when we walked up to them to try and say Hello", Bean continued.
Bean: Um, hi there.
Fraggles give a startled cry and the bunnies do the same.
Gobo: Who are you?
Lugsy: I was gonna ask the same thing.
Bean: My name's Bean and this is my brother, Lugsy, my sister, Twitch and our friends, Be-bop, Snort, Babble and Bulbous.
Gobo: Well, my name's Gobo and these are my friends, Mokey, Red, Boober and Wembley.
Bean: Well, it's nice to meet you
Red: Wait a minute. You guys aren't fraggles.
Twitch: No. We're bunnies.
Wembley: Bunnies? Never saw one before.
Boober: and never again, I figure. How did you get in?
Lugsy: We found a hole in the ground and we went inside when we heard singing
Mokey: That's what we do all the time.
Be-bop: You mean, singing and dancing? Now that's my kind of place.
Bean: What is this place anyway?
Gobo: This is Fraggle Rock.
Snort: I've never heard of it.
Red: Hardly anyone has.
Wembley: There's all kinds of tunnels to explore, well Gobo is the one that mostly explores.
Gobo: I'll show you around someday. Come with us to the great hall and have some fun.
Bean: Sure. Let's go!
Hip, hip hooray, we're gonna dance and sing all day.
We're number one and we've just begun and now it's time to play.
And now it's time to play.
Hip, hip, hip, hip Hooray!
"Yeah. That was a lot of fun.", Lugsy said.
"It sure was. I can't wait to go there again", Twitch said.
"Me, either.", the other bunnies replied.
"I wonder what all the fraggles are doing now?", Bean wondered.

 

[RedPiggy]

You know, haha, as rare as the Fraggles are, they sure get visited a lot.

Chapter 6:
Boober is in his hole doing laundry and is just finishing one load when Wembley enters.
"Hi, Boober", he said to his friend.
"Hello, Wembley.", Boober replied.
"What'cha doing?", Wembley asked.
"Just doing some laundry and I'm just finishing the last load for today.", Boober answered casually.
"Hey, aren't these argyle socks?", Wembley asked as he looked up on a clothesline.
"You betcha they are. Just like the ones Bert has.", Boober replied.
"Huh?", Wembley said not knowing what he was talking about.
"You remember when Kermit showed us Sesame Street and everyone who lives there, don't you?", Boober explained to his friend.
"Oh, right. Now I remember", Wembley replied and a flashback occurs.
"He took us there to show us his other friends and what a nice neighborhood it was.", Boober continued.
Kermit: Well, guys. Here it is, Sesame Street.
Fraggles: Wow!
Gobo: What a neat place.
Red: Definitely.
Kermit: Yep. Hey, Bob.
Bob: Oh, hi, Kermit.
Kermit: I want you to meet some friends of mine. This is Gobo, Mokey, Red, Wembley and Boober and they're coming here for the first time.
Bob: Oh, that's great. We'll show them around.
Kermit: Great. Follow me, guys. Now here is Big Bird's nest.
Boober: Big Bird?
Kermit: Yep, just like his name sounds, he's big.
Wembley: How big?
Kermit: You'll see. Here he comes now.
Big Bird: Hi, Kermit.
Red: You weren't kidding when you said he was big.
Kermit: Big Bird, these are my friends, Gobo, Red, Mokey, Wembley and Boober. This is their first time coming here.
Big Bird: Nice to meet you.
Wembley: Same here.
Big Bird: Well, I'll see you soon. I have to clean up my nest.
Kermit: Okay. See you, Big Bird.
Gobo: He sure was big, wasn't he?
Kermit: Well, just like I told you.
Oscar: Hey, what's all the excitement?
Kermit: Oh, hi, Oscar. I'd like you to meet some of my friends. This is Gobo, Mokey, Wembley, Boober and Red.
Oscar: Oh. Well, will you keep the noise down? Grouches hate noise, especially happy ones. Oh, what a rotten day.
Kermit: Don't worry. Oscar's a grouch and he's always pretty grouchy.
Wembley: I'll say.
Red: No kidding.
Kermit: Hey, everyone's at Hooper's store. Let's see what's going on. Hey, everybody. What's going on?
Maria: We heard that you were bringing new friends.
Mr. Hooper: So we set up a little greeting party for you.
Kermit: Oh. Isn't that nice?
Bert: So where are they?
Kermit: Right here. This is Gobo, Mokey, Wembley, Boober and Red.
(Everyone says, "Hello" to the Fraggles)
Wembley: Wow! This sure is a lot of people.
Kermit: Yep. Guys, this is almost everyone that lives here on Sesame Street. Of course, you met Bob, here's Maria and Luis, Ernie and Bert, Gordon and Susan, Linda, Olivia, David, Cookie Monster, Grover, Count von Count and Mr. Hooper.
Boober: These are really nice people.
Wembley: I'll say.
Mokey: I think I'm going to like it here.
Red: Me, too.
Gobo: Me, too.
Kermit: Well, we'd like it if you'd visit every once in a while.
Gobo: Sure.
Red: We'll visit a lot. Won't we?
(Fraggles agree)
"And that's how it happened.", Boober continued.
"Boy, I sure can't wait to go back there again", Wembley replied.
"Me, too. I'm sure Bert is washing his argyle socks by now.", Boober said and the two friends share a laugh.

Your fic is shaping up to be as far-reaching (in terms of universe) as mine do. I can't wait to see how this all starts to come together.

Chapter 7:
Back at Sesame Street, Bert, Ernie and Scooter are hanging out at Hooper's Store just to talk for a little while.
"Boy. Beautiful day, huh?", Ernie asked.
"Sure is", Scooter replied.
Just then, Mr. Hooper turns on the radio and jug-band music plays.
"Hey, what kind of music is that?", Bert asked.
"Jug-band music", Mr. Hooper said.
"That's the kind of music Emmet and his friends play, in fact, that's how we all first met them, while they were performing at the Riverside Rest", Scooter said.
"What do you mean, Scooter?", Bert asked.
"Don't you remember when Kermit introduced everybody to them?", Scooter asked.
"I sure do", Ernie said
"Now I remember", Bert said as a flashback occured.
"One night, Kermit invited all of us to the Riverside Rest to listen to them play", Scooter explained.
"You mean he invited us, everyone on Sesame Street and the Muppet Theater, the Fraggles and Bean Bunny and his family there?", Bert asked.
"Of Course. He wanted everybody to be there.", Scooter answered.
"Oh, yeah. Everyone was there listening to them sing.", Ernie said.
Barbecue lifts my spirit.
I swear that it never fails
and the sauce Mama makes just stays there forever if you dare to get it under your nails.
So get the frown off your face, we're gonna replace it with a grin and a dream come true
with a pretty girl dancin' to jug-band music and a mess of Mama's barbecue.
"Then Kermit intoduced all of us to them", Scooter continued.
Kermit: Well, everybody. This is the Frogtown Hollow Jubilee Jug-band. Of course, this is Emmet, Wendell, Harvey and Charlie and Emmet's mother, Alice. Some of you already met them.
Wembley: That was a really good song.
Bert: What's it called?
Emmet: "Barbecue"
Boober: Nice title.
Scooter: How often do you perform?
Harvey: Every night.
Grover: That's got to be a great job.
Wendell: It is.
Kermit: Speaking of jobs, what do you say that, when you guys aren't performing here, why not perform with us at the Muppet Theater?
Charlie: Really?
Fozzie: Sure. We could use another jug-band for the show.
Emmet: We'd like that a lot. Right, Ma?
Ma Otter: Absolutely.
Kermit: Great. How about starting tomorrow?
(Jug-band agrees)
"And since then, they've been performing with us ever since.", Scooter continued.
"I'm glad we're friends with them.", Ernie said.
"Me, too.", Bert said

Have you guys ever thought of sending these fan fics to the muppets to read? I would love to hear what they say about these stories.

Chapter 8:
Meanwhile, back in the swamp:
"You know, Robin, looking at all these photos makes me very lucky to have such great friends, whether they are pigs, bears, frogs, fraggles, bunnies, woodland creatures and everything in between", Kermit said to his nephew.
"Even if they drive you nuts sometimes?", Robin asked.
"Yep. Even if they drive me up a wall", Kermit said.
"Kermit! Kermit! Are you home?", a voice shouted from a distance.
"Depends. Who's there?", Kermit asked.
"It's me, Scooter.", the voice answered.
"And me, Fozzie.",another voice answered.
"Hey, guys. What's wrong? You look worried.", Kermit wondered.
"Listen, it's a really big problem.", Fozzie said.
"What is it?", Robin asked.
"It's horrible and terrifying!", Scooter cried.
"What is?", asked Kermit sounding a little annoyed.
"We've gotta do something", Fozzie said.
"We need to gather everyone tonight and...", Scooter said.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?", Kermit shouted.
"Doc Hopper's coming back!", they both shouted back.
"What? What does he want?", Robin asked.
"He wants to take revenge or something like that," Scooter replied.
"We all may be in terrible danger", Fozzie said to Kermit.
"You're right, Fozzie. Listen, guys, here's the plan:
we'll gather everybody here and think of a really good plan and you know we can't do this by ourselves, we need everybody's help.", Kermit whispered as he gathered his friends and nephew in a huddle.
"I agree ho-hardedly, cheif", Scooter said.
"So what do we do?", Fozzie asked.
"Okay. Robin and I will go to Sesame Street and get Big Bird, Bert and Ernie, Grover, Cookie Monster and The Count. Scooter, you go to Fraggle Rock and get Gobo, Red, Wembley, Boober, Mokey, Philo and Gunge and Sprocket. Fozzie, you go to Frogtown Hollow and get Emmet and his jug-band and also go to the meadow and get Bean, his brother and sister and their friends and bring everyone here and we'll discuss a plan and get rid of Doc Hopper for good." Kermit explained.

 

[RedPiggy]

Ah, and therein lies the plot. Doc Hopper? WOW. My jaw just hit the floor. Good job!
