One Crazy Christmas Happening

[ryhoyarbie]

Chapter 1: Showtime At The Theater.

It was late at night at the Muppet Theater. Most of the muppets had gone back t the boarding house. All except Scooter. He was at the stage sitting in a chair, a very large one that seemed like it was more apropriate for Sweetums. The audience seats were empty, along with the balcony seats Statler and Waldorf sat in. Scooter was busy looking over some notes with a pencil.

"Oh hi there, I'm Scooter," Scooter said as he gazed up from his notes to look at the viewers. He then put his notes and pencil down.

"You know, as far back as I can remember, the muppets seem to get into some crazy schemes. Maybe we're trying to make it in showbiz, or trying to take on pirates, get on broadway, or even trying to save the theater," replied Scooter. "But this year was the craziest."

"This happened a few days before Christmas began, about a week ago from now. We were putting on a regular christmas variety show we do every year when something very magical happend with us and a very large man with a white beard who likes to dress in red," Scooter continued.

"Sounds interesting right?" Scooter asked trying to get a response. "You people ready for this story to continue? Well let us preceed shall we."


____________________________________________________________
Flash back a week ago to December 23, 2005.

The Muppet Theater was packed. Every seat in the audience was filled. There were families, and couples, and well, all sorts of people who wanted to see a great show. The theater itself was decorated with christmas decorations too. There were christmas lights on the walls, with christmas greenery also on the walls. Poinsettias wreaths also decorated the walls too.

On stage was Rowlf the dog who was playing a piano on stage singing "Happy Holidays." Behind Rowlf was Floyd Pepper on bass guitar, Zoot on saxaphone, Lips on trumpet, and Animal on drums. And behind Animal was a childrens choir, consisted of boys and girls about twelve years in age, who was also helping Rowlf sing the song and some of them were shaking sleigh bell instruments. The background drop behind the childrens choir was light green, decorated with some flowers, that was made just for the number.

"Happy holidays," sang Rowlf.
"Happy holidays," sang the choir.
"While the merry bells keep ringing, happy holidays to you," sang Rowlf.
"Happy holidays, happy holidays," sang the choir.
"It's the holiday season, and Santa Claus is comin round ,the Christmas snow is white on the ground, When old Santa gets into town, he'll be comin down the chimney down," sang Rowlf.
"He'll be coming down the chimney down," sang the choir.
"It's the holiday season, and Santa Claus has got a toy for every good girl and good little boy, Santas a great big bundle of joy, when he's comin down the chimney down," sang Rowlf.
"When he's comin down the chimney down," sang the choir.
"He'll have a bigfat pack upon his back and lot's of goodies for you and for me, so leave a peppermint sick, for ole Saint Nick, hangin on the Christmas tree,' sang Rowlf.
"It's the holiday season," sang Rowlf.
"Holiday season," sang the choir.
"Soahoopdy doo, and dickory dock, and don't forget to hang up your sock,cause just exactly at 12'o'clock, he'll be comin down the chimney down," sang Rowlf.
"He'll be comin down the chimney down," sang the choir.
"He'll have a big fat pack upon his back," sang Rowlf.
"Yay!" Sang the choir.
"And lot's of goodies for you and for me, so leave a peppermint sick, for ole saint Nick, hangin on the Christmas tree," sang Rowlf.
"It's the holiday season," sang Rowlf.
"Holiday season," sang the choir.
"Soahoopdy do. and dickory dock, and don't forget to hang up your sock,cause just exactly at 12'o'clock, he'll be comin down the chimney," sang Rowlf.
"Comin down the chimney, comin down the chimney down," the choir and Rowlf sang together.
"Happy holidays," sang the choir.
"Happy holidays," sang Rowlf.
"Happy holidays," sang the choir.
"Happy holidays," sang Rowlf.
"While the merry bells keep ringing," sang the choir and Rowlf together.
"Happy holidays to you," sang Rowlf.
"Happy Holidays! Happy Holidays! Happy holidays!" Sang the choir.

"HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!" Animal shouted as the song was over.

The audience applauded the musicians for doing the piece. Rowlf got up from the piano seat and raised his right hand pointing to the childrens choir so they could get more applause. The audience clapped some more to the childrens choir as the children bowed to the audience in unison. The curtains closed several seconds latter.

"So Statler, what did you wish for christmas this year?" Waldorf asked his old friend.

"Better performers, songs, and skits on 'The Muppet show'," Statler joked.

"Dohohohohoho," the two men laughed from the remark.

Rowlf and Floyd walked back stage to find Kermit, Scooter, and Clifford looking over some notes at Kermits usual desk. The back stage was also decorated. It was a gigantic wreath on the wall behind Kermit's desk. There were also a few poinsettias on top of the railing.

"Nice job guys," Kermit said to Rowlf and Floyd as he turned to look at them.

"Ya man, that was tight song," Clifford added also looking at Rowlf and Floyd.

"The ole ivories are loving me tonight," Rowlf remarked.

"Maybe you should get a room with them," Floyd laughed as he and Rowlf walked away.

Kermit looked at Scooter. "What's next?"

"I believe young Robin wanted to tell a christmas story when he was growing up in the swamp," said Scooter looking at his notes.

Kermit looked around the room. "Where is Robin anyway?"

All three looked around the room and then noticed Robin coming up from the stairs that people exit.

"Here I am uncle Kermit," the young frog said while making his way up the stairs.

"What were you doing?" Kermit asked his nephew.

"I was trying to call Santa Claus. I wanted to know how everything was going up at the north pole," Robin said answering his uncle's question.

"Oh well, you're on next," Kermit said. "Clifford, will you introduce Robin?"

"Sure thing Kerm," remarked Clifford. "Let's go Robin."

As Clifford and Robin waked away, Scooter turned to Kermit. "Maybe you should tell him this year."

"Tell him?" Kermit asked looking a little worried.

"Yes, about there not being a Santa Claus," Scooter finished.

"I, I don't know if I can do that Scooter," Kermit said sighing to himself.

"Well it won't be to long before he figures out that there is no such thing as Santa Claus," responded Kermit's assistant.

"Can anything else get worse," Kermit asked himself looking at the ground.

Suddenly Piggy walked up the stairs and entered the backstage carrying some suitcases.

"Piggy, what's with the suitcases? Kermit asked looking at Piggy who seemed like she wasn't in a good mood.

"Oh you're going to love this," Piggy sarcastically said as she looked down the exit stairs to see two people who had finally made it to the top of the backstage. "My nephews are here for the holidays."

"Hey it's the frog," remarked Andy.

"Did you get us any big expensive gifts that we can break real easily for christmas this year?" Randy asked Kermit.

Kermit and Scooter looked at each other and sighed. Not those two, anything but those two. Atleast the show was going well Kermit thought to himself.

Chapter 2: The Problems Of Running a Show!

It was coming to the end of the show, but there were a few more numbers that were still left before the show could officially end. Kermit was looking over his notes from his desk at the backstage. He had a cup of coffee and drank it while checking some things off. In the background were several whatnot muppets moving props from the skits and songs from tonight into storage. And of course, Andy and Randy were up by the dressing rooms, causing mayhem as usual.

"Okay, let's see, we got this done, and this song was performed, and this skit worked well," Kermit said to himself as he was checking things off from his notes.

"Look out below!" Randy shouted as he dropped some egg nog towards Kermit.

"What tha hey!" Kermit asked himself, dodging the egg nog.

The egg nog landed on one of the whatnot muppets who was carrying some props from the stage.

"Sorry about that," Kermit appoligized to the worker. Kermit then turned his attention to Andy and Randy. "What are you two doing?"

"We're playing a game," Randy said to Kermit.

"Ya, we're playing dunk the frog host in egg nog," Andy added.

Kermit stared at the two pigs. Dunk the frog host in egg nog? What kind of game was that Kermit thought to himself.

"Well I'm trying to run a show here, and you two are in my way. Please find something else to do, that doesn't involve me at any level," Kermit said to the two pigs trying not to lose his temper.

"Party pooper!" Randy said as he and Andy were walking down the stairs away from the second level where the dressing rooms were at. Both pigs walked away and went to another room to leave Kermit alone.

"Blasted nephews," Kermit said to himself while continuing to do a checklist of his notes.

As he said said that Scooter walked by him. "Chief, you're talking to yourself again."

"I, um......It's those two pig nephews of Piggy's," Kermit informed Scooter.

"Where are they now?" Scooter asked.

"Hopefully bothering Animal so he can run a muck on the two," Kermit responded to Scooter's question.

"Well, I hate this up, but you haven't been watching Sam on stage, have you?" Scooter said.

"No why?" Kermit was puzzled as to what was going on.

Scooter then pointed for Kermit to look to see what Sam was doing.

Sam was on stage at his political desk. He was talking about christmas, which was the topic he wanted to cover for tonight. As Kermit listened some more, he heard Sam talk about Santa Claus.

"And Santa Claus, that fat ole jolly of a man who rides around the world one day a year...............Is a bum, a good for nothing bum!" Sam stated to the audience.

Kermit was shocked from Sam's comments.

"Does he do anything else besides working once a month? What does he do in January, take a vacation and go down to Florida and fish?" sam stated as he was looking at the audience.

By that time, Kermit was not in panic mode and decided to get on stage and stop Sam.

"It's traditional values that people have because of working every year for five days a week, seven to eight hours or more a day," Sam stated. "But this guy, this good for nothing bum who works with elvs and reindeer, making toys for children around the world....." Sam said.

"Okay that's enough Sam, thank you," Kermit said walking on stage interrupting Sam.

"But I am not finished," Sam eyed Kermit.

"If you keep on you will be finished!" Kermit informed the blue feathered eagle.

"Ha! Total nonsense from an uneducated frog," Sam said who celarly had his feathers ruffled.

"Maybe, but I still call the shots, which means I can have you fired," Kermit replied to the eagle's comment.

"Well, when you put it that way....." Sam trailed off.

The curtains closed and Sam and Kermit made their way backstage.

"I wonder what ruffled the eagle's feathers to say that?" Statler turned to Waldorf who was then sleeping. "Waldorf, hey Waldorf you old fool, wake up."

By then Waldorf woke up and looked at Statler. "You're the fool if you managed to sit through that last sketch of political nonsense."

Statler scrounched his face in disgust.

Sam walked past the backstage as Kermit moved over to the desk to look over his notes. He was checking over some things when there was a huge explosion. He turned towards his right side to see Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker running and itching themselves.

"Beakie, help me!!" Bunsen yelled to his assistant while continuing to scratch himself.

"Mee mee mee mo mee mee!" Beaker said also scratching himself and following Bunsen who ran to Kermit.

"Bunsen, Beaker, what happed?" Kermit asked the two who were continuing to scratch like crazy.

"Those two nephews of Miss Piggy's got into some itching formula and poured it into our cups of hot chocolate," commetend Bunsen.

Andy and Randy came running to Kermit, Bunsen, and Beaker.

"Why did you two do this to poor Bunsen and......" Kermit said before trailing off.

"We were bored and wanted to play more games," Andy said, interrupting Kermit.

"But look at Bunsen and....." Kermit said before be trailing off again.

"You stated, and I quote, to not bother you, and we didn't," Randy interrupting Kermit.

"Ya, we decided to bother these two instead," remarked Andy.

Bunsen and Beaker continued to itch uncontrollably and cry out for help. Dr. Bob, aka Rowlf, and Janice showed up in their Vets Hospital uniforms.

"Alright, lets go," Dr. Bob said guiding Bunsen and Beaker away from the backstage.

"Are you here to help us?" Bunsen asked Dr. Bob and nurse Jance.

"Me me me me!" Beaker added.

"Help you? We just wanted to know if we scratch you in the right places if you'd be ticklish," Dr. Bob remarked.

"Oh, like Dr. Bob, that was the worst joke you've had all year," Janice stated.

"Good thing the year is almost up, then I can have a whole new year and use more bad puns," commented Dr. Bob who was laughing.

As Dr. Bob was heading out of the backstage with Dr. Honeydew and Beaker, Janice stopped to talk to Kermit.

"Oh by the way Kermit, like the band and I have this huge gig we have to do and won't be able to be at the house for christmas," Janice replied.

"What! You guys never told me this," Kermit said looking surprised at Janice. "Where is this 'gig' you're talking about?" Kermit wanted to know.

"Oh wow, it's like in this far off place, you know, like it's very far you know," Janice responded.

"So it's far huh," replied Kermit.

"Fer sure!" Janice stated with her famous catch phrase.

"Well if you're going to be heading far for a gig, you wouldn't mind taking Andy and Randy would you?" Kermit said while looking at the two pigs.

Janice turned her attention at the two pigs who waved back at janice and Kermit.

"Um, like no," replied Janice.

"Yeesh, I was afraid of that. Are you guys going now?" Questioned Kermit.

"Like ya, we're going after the show is over,' Janice said.

And with that Janice headed to where Dr. Bob was to try to help Bunsen and Beaker.

Clifford entered the backstage and went over to Kermit who was still looking at andy and Randy.

"Sup Kerm?" Clifford asked.

"It's against me, but do you think Crazy Harry could blow Piggy's nephews back to whereever they came from," Kermit asked the purple colored man wearing his black sunglasses.

"Huh?" Clifford replied in confusion.

"Never mind," Kermit sighed. "Just get the last song ready."

"You got it Kerm," Clifford said as he walked towards the stage.

Kermit continued to look at andy and Randy who waved at him. Kermit sighed. he really didn't like Piggy's nephews!"

Chapter 3: Show Ending/The Note

The show was almost over. There was one more sgment to do, the last song, the closing number to end the show.

Kermit walked on stage to announce the closing number. The audience applauded at Kermit.

"Well we have one last song for the night to close out our christmas show for the year," Kermit said to the audience.

Johnny Fiama poked his head out the curtains to try to get Kermits attention.

"Psss, Kermit," Johnny said quietly but loud enough to get Kermit to look at him.

Kermit turned around to see what Johnny wanted. "Yah?"

"We got kind of a problem back here, Johnny informed Kermit.

"What kind of problem?" Kermit asked.

"Well you know how Sal and I were going to sing "Christmas Time Is Here" with Kelly Clarkson. Now Miss Piggy wants to sing it with her and says that if she doesn't she said you'll regret it," Johnny said.

"Yeesh," Kermit responded looking worried.

Sal then got out from behind the curtains and went over to Kermit.

"Hey, I'm not going to let some pig tell Johnny what he can and can't do," Sal said looking at Kermit. "He's going to sing with Kelly for the closing number."

Piggy came out from behind the curtain pushing Johnny aside and making him fall to the ground and walked over to Sal and grabbed him by the throat.

"Moi is going to be singing the song with Kelly or else I'll make you into a fur coat," Piggy said looking at Sal straight in the eyes.

"You got it," Sal tried to say while being choked by Piggy.

Piggy then let go of Sal, smiled at Kermit, and then went behind the curtains. Sal was holding his throat, trying to breath better as Johnny walked over to him.

"Sal, what happened. I thought you wer emy right hand man, er monkey?" Johnny asked Sal who was breathing better.

"You can fight your battles with that pig. I persoanlly want to make it to next year," replied Sal.

Johnny shrugeed his shoulders and he and Sal walked back to the backstage.

"Um, well here is our closing number with our special guest star, grammy award winning sensation Kelly Clarkson and our very own Miss Piggy singing Christmas Time Is Here.

The curtains opened to reveal Kelly Clarkson dressed in a dark red suit and pants with a black shirt and a dark red bow tie while Piggy was dressed a dark red dress. Rowlf was in the background on the piano. The background itself was a light red back drop that complimented Kelly's suit and Piggy's dress.

"You ready Miss Piggy," Kelly asked looking at Piggy.

"Moi is always ready," Piggy replied back briefly looking at Kelly and then at the audience.

"Christmas time is here,
happiness and cheer,
fun for all that children
call their favorite time of year," sang Kelly.

"Snowflakes in the air,
carols everywhere,
olden times and ancient rhymes
and love and dreams to share," sang Piggy.

"Sleigh bells in the air,
beauty every where,
yuletide by the fireside
and joyful memories there," sang Kelly.

"Christmas time is here,
we'll be drawing near,
oh that we could always see
such spirit through the year,
such spirit through the year," sang Piggy.

Rowlf plays the piano and does a solo.

"Sleigh bells in the air,
beauty every where,
yuletide by the fireside
and joyful memories there," sang Kelly.

"Christmas time is here,
we'll be drawing near,
oh that we could always see
such spirit through the year," sang Piggy.

The song ended and Piggy and Kelly Clarkson took a bow as the audience applauded. The curtains closed and Kermit walked out.

"Well that just about does it for this years christmas show," Kermit said. "But let us thank our special guest stars, Ms Kelly Clarkson and the childrens choir from St. Edwards church.

The curtains reopened and Kelly Clarkson and the boys and girls of the choir walked to Kermit.

"Thanks Kermit for letting me be here for your christmas show," Kelly sweetly said looking at Kermit.

"It was my pleasure," Kermit answered back looking at Kelly and then turning his attention back to the audience.

"And with that we'll see you..." Kermit began saying.

Suddenly a 50 pound sand bag came flying from the back and flew at Kelly Clarkson and hit her. Kelly went flying through the air atleast 50 feet or so past the audience screaming. Stater and Waldorf held up cards, indicating a perfect 10 that Statler gave Kelly for her jump while Waldorf gave Kelly a 9.5.

Kermit was shocked at what just happened and had his mouth wide opened. He looked back towards his right and saw Andy and Randy let go of a rope which was holding the sand bag.

"Oops, we were trying to see what all these ropes did," Randy said looking at Kermit who was now very mad.

"Ya, we didn't expect one holding sand in it," Andy added. "Now we know for future reference."

Kermit turned back at the audience to say good night. "We'll, um, see you all next time on The Muppet show, that's if we don't get sued by Kelly's lawyers."

The Muppet Show theme was played by the pit with Nigel directing.

Statler turned to Waldorf. "Well, what did you think of the show?"

"It should have ended with a better bang," Waldorf said,

Suddenly Crazy Harry popped up. "Did someone say bang?"

"Uh no!" The two old men shouted.

Crazy Harry then blew up Statler and Waldorf which sent them flying through the air and on stage. Harry laughed and left the balcony box.

Zoot then blew on his saxaphone to finish the song with the last note.

_________________________________________________________

Twenty minutes had passed in time for everyone in the audience to get out of the theater and go home and for Kermit to see if Kelly Clarkson was okay and if she needed mecial treatment.

Kermit was backstage with Andy and Randy who were near the exit stairs. Piggy was near Kermit and was looking at her two bumbling nephews.

"You're lucky that Ms Clarkson didn't sue us for that prank you two pulled tonight!" Kermit shouted at the two young pigs.

Kermit then proceeded to pace back and forth.

"You two have ruined not only my show but my evening too. First you wanted to dump egg nog on me, then you put itching potion in Bunsen and Beaker's drinks. And finally you decided to see what was hanging on those ropes which sent Kelly flying casuing her to have minor injuries," Kermit yelled continuing to pace back and forth.

Kermit stopped pacing and looked at Andy and Randy. "I'm not going to lecture you two any more. It's late, I'm tired, and I'm tired of dealign with the two of you."

Kermit looked at Piggy. "I'll let you handle your nephews punishment."

And with that Kermit left the backstage.

__________________________________________

Another ten minutes had passed and everyone was heading out of the theater. Kermit was the last to walk out. He shut the doors and locked them.

It was cold, really cold. There wasn't any snow on the ground but the temperature was around 25 degrees outside, atleast that's what the weatherman said on the news station Kermit had watched earlier during the day.

Dr. Teeth walked over to Kermit.

"Greenstuff, I'm letting you take the bus for the next several days while the band and I play at the gig we got ourselves lined up for," Dr. Teeth stated.

"But it's your bus, you take it to the airport," Kermit insisted.

"We'd feel safer if we knew the bus was with you guys and not at the airport," Floyd added as he walked over to Dr. Teeth.

"Well alright then," Kermit agreed with the arrangement. "But how are ya'll going to get to the airport?"

Suddenly a taxi cab backed into some trash cans. The muppets looked to see who the reckless driver was. It was Beauregard.

"Oopsy, guess I should of stopped better," Beau commented on his lack of good driving skills.

"Hey man, we're not going to get to the airport alive if we're going to be letting this guy drive," Zoot stated as he looked at Beau.

"You have my honest truth that I will get you guys to the airport on time," Beau answered back to Zoots comment.

"Maybe we should take the bus ot the airport," Lips said.

"No the cab will do fine," Dr. Teeth said to the band.

Dr. Teeth handed the bus keys to Kermit. "Take care of the old girl, will ya Kermit," Dr. Teeth asked while walking towards the cab.

"I will," replied Kermit as he watched the band put their luggage in the back of Beau's cab and then getting in.

'Like we'll see you all in a few days," Janice said looking out the window.

Beau's cab began to drive off as Animal decided to make one of the seat cushions his dinner by bitting it.

As Kermit watched the Electric Mayhem leave, a note landed on Kermit's head and fell to the ground. Kermit picked up the note and opened it. It read "we need your help".

Kermit was puzzled at what the note meant and decided to keep it with him. He walked over to the bus where everybody was in it and walked up the bus stairs and looked at Fozzie who was in the drivers seat.

"Here's the keys Fozzie. Take us home," Kermit said while giving the keys to Fozzie bear.

"Ah, yes sir, right away Kermit," Fozzie said as he put the keys and started up the bus.

The bus then drove off and the muppets headed back to the boarding house.

Chapter 4: Telling The Story

The Electric Mayhem bus pulled into the driveway of the boarding house. the muppets got out and headed to the house reaydy to relax, watch tv, play cards, read book, etc.

"I'm so goings to wins tonight at poker, because I can feels it, okay," Pepe said heading into the house.

"Oh ya, we'll see about that prawn cracker, cause I'm going to win," Rizzo stated following behind Pepe.

"I'm having a good hair day, and when I'm having a good hair day I know it's my lucky day. I'm going to win tonights game," Link said moving to the table.

"Well I'm going to win, and win I do, I'm going to celebrate by tying myself to a rocket and letting it fly around town, woowee!" Gonzo cheerfully said sitting down.

"I can't believe you're my best friend. What a weirdo," Rizzo joked sitting down also.

"Thanks Rizzo, I love you too," Gonzo said. "Alright Camilla, sit with me and watch your sugar daddy win."

"Bwak, bwak, bwak," Camiila clucked.

Some of the other muppets had settled down to watch television, particularly Lew Zealand, George, Johnny, and Sal.

"Hey, change it to channel 47. I hear the food network is going to do an expo on foriegn fish," Lew Zealand said.

"No," George grunted.

"Well change it to channel 162, the channel is doing a biography of Tony Bennett," Johnny said looking at George.

"No," George grunted again not determind to change the channel. "I'm watching an antique road show."

"You're gonna do what Johnny says or else!" Sal said trying to intimadate George.

George grabbed Sal by the neck. "Or else what?"

"Agh, ah, um, n, n, nothing......" Sal tried to say clearly while being choked.

George let go of Sal, satisfied with Sal's answer. Johnny turned to Sal.

"Thanks Sal for backing me up. You're zero for two in helping me now for today," commented Johnny.

"Hey you can fight your own battles. If I'm going to tortued in this special, I'm not going to do anything," said Sal who was rubbing his throat.

Johnny decided to make Sal feel better by tickling him. "Who's my little monkey, whose my little monkey."

George and Lew Zealand looked at Johnny tickling Sal. "Get a room you two," George commented.

Meanwhile at the breakfast table. Rowlf, Fozzie, and Kermit sat. Fozzie was eating some cereal, Rowlf was reading the newspaper, and Kermit was sitting looking out in space. Clifford was in the kitchen, close to the breakfast table, talking on the phone while the Swedish Chef was making some food for people.

"Hey Kermit, are you okay?" Fozzie said as he noticed his green friend staring out in space.

"Uh ya, I guess so," Kermit said getting back to reality.

Rowlf stopped reading the newspaper, looked at Kermit, decided to get into the conversation.

"You don't sound like it," Fozzie added.

"Is it because of what happened with Piggy's nephews and Kelly?" Rowlf asked.

"No, it's something else," responded Kermit.

As their conversation was going, Clifford's conversation was going on the phone.

"Oh ya. Oh ya, Ya, you know how your big 'C' likes it," Clifford said talking in a sexy voice on the phone.

"Well maybe later on I can dress up in my Santa Claus outfit and I'll bring you a couple of presentes, he he he," Clifford added.

By then Kermit, Rowlf, and Fozzie had overheard what Clifford was saying. Clifford felt he was being watched and finally looked up to see their stares on him.

"What? Can't people have conversations with their girlfriend around here?" Clifford asked the three.

Kermit, Fozzie, and Rowlf looked at each other, nodded, and looked back at Clifford.

"Well, ya, I'm going to have to call your back baby. Alright, bye," Clifford said to his girlfriend on the phone and then hanging it up.

"I think I'm going to finish this conversation upstairs," Clifford saying walking out of the kitchen and heading towards the stairs.

Kermit and company looked at Clifford as he was walking to the stairs and went back to the conversation they were having.

"Well what's going on Kermit?" Fozzie asked.

"As we walked out of the theater tonight, a note fell on my head and dropped to the ground," Kermit said telling the story to his friends.

"And?" Rowlf wanted to know more.

"I picked up the note and read it. It said 'we need your help'," Kermit finished the story.

Rowlf and Fozzie looked at each other and then back at Kermit.

"What do you think it means?" Asked Fozzie.

Kermit was at a loss for an answer. "I don't know. But I wish I did."

Chapter 5: Listening In On The Problem

Robin the frog was in the basement with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker. Bunsen and Beaker were toying with a device, a device that would help Robin listen to Santa Clause and hear all what he's doing up at the north pole.

"Alright, everything seems to be hooked up," Bunsen said looking over at the main device. "Okay Beakie, connect the wires."

"Me meeeeeee!" Beaker replied. He connected the wires to the machine that Bunsen was messing with.

The wires themselves connected to the headphones that Robin had on so he could listen to Santa Clause. Everything wa nomral until sparks started to fly.

Beaker grabbed the wires to get the disconnected from the machine. "Me meeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuch!!!!!!" Beaker cried out as he got electricuted.

Beaker's hair was now full of static and a few sparks from his hair. "Me, me, me," Beaker quietly said as he tried to recover from being electricuted.

"Beaker, stop fooling around and connect those two wire cables," barked Bunsen acting as if nothing happened to Beaker, as usual.

"Me, me, me," Beaker said looking at Bunsen and then connecting the wire cables to the machine.

Beaker looked at the machine, thinking he was going to be electricuted again as soon as he would put the wire cables on the machine, but nothing happened. Beaker breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey I think I got something," Robin said listening to some static on the headphones. "I've got static though."

Beaker played around with the wire cables some more, trying to get a better reception for Robin.

"I'm hearing voices now! Robin exclaimed.

"There's someone in the house with me. Someone, anyone come quick!" A woman cried out.

"Oh go away," Robin gripped pushing another button on the headphones.

"We're going to take over the Earth and make everyone slaves!" A voice laughed.

Robin pushed another button, going to another channel.

"Pleae, if there is anyone out there, help me. There is a very large man who whill probably torture me and kill me and do nasty horrible things to me and......" the same woman screamed out.

Robin pushed another button.

"I'" said the same woman.

Robin pushed another button.

"Need," the woman said again.

Robin pushed another button.

"Need," the woman contibued.

Robin pushed another button.

"Your," the woman continued.

Robin again pushed another button trying to go to another radio channel.

"Help," the woman finished.

By then Robin took off the headphones, shook them several times, and put them back on and pushed another button to get another channel.

"We're not going to have christmas this year," a manlyish voice said.

"I can't believe the big guy is sick this year," a woman voice replied.

"Ya me either. He's never sick," a male voice replied.

"Looks like christmas might have to be canceled this year," the woman voice added.

"I hope not. I did send a not to some people that might help us. I hope they can respond to the challenge," the man commented. "I'll also send something else to the people for tonight also."

By then Robin had heard all he wanted to hear. He pulled the headphones off. "Oh no, christmas is doomed this year."

Robin hoped whoever got the note could help save christmas.

Chapter 6: Telling The Story/Something Is Stirring

Robin the frog walked up the stairs from the basement and into the kitchen to see Kermit listening to the Swedish Chef who had cooked a special dish for the frog.

"Ver dish hern ye bur fly de choclate," the Chef said.

"Chocolate covered flies? Sounds great," Kermit replied.

Kermit grabbed a chocolate fly from the cooking pan and ate it. "Wow, not bad chef, not bad at all."

"Yen der nothing," the Swedish chef replied.

Robin devided to interrupt his uncle. "Uncle Kermit, uncle Kermit, there is something wrong.

Kermit and the chef turned to see Robin who seemed unsettled about something. Kermit moved towards his nephew.

"Yes Robin, is there something wrong?" Kermit asked.

"Christmas is going to be canceled because Santa Clause is sick," exclaimed Robin.

By then all the muppets stopped what they were doing and turned to Robin.

"We have to do something uncle Kermit," Robin said.

Kermit sighed, trying to brace himself for what he was about to say to Robin. "Robin, there is no Santa Claus. He isn't realy. He's just made up."

"No he's not. I over heard two elves talking about how christmas was going to be canceled because Santa is sick this year," Robin anwered back. "Nobody thought aliens were real, but they are now, since Gonzo finally met his family,"

Kermit shook his head. He didn't know how to explain the situation to Robin any better. "Look Robin, there is not Santa Claus, no elves, nothing."

"Then how come he brings presents to me every year," questioned Robin who was looking for a reasonable answer.

"Those presents are from me. I go to the stores every year, buy you presents, and put them out early christmas morning when you're still alseep,'" Kermit replied.

"But I heard two elves talking in the headphones thanks to Dr. Honeydews invention," said the young frog.

"I'm sure you heard voices, but voices that weren't elves. Elves don't exist Robin, I'm sorry," Kermit said trying to be as respectful as possible.

Robin looked down and walked off. Kermit and the others watched Robin as he walked towards the stairs and up them. They all returned to what they were doing before. Piggy who was downstairs walked over to Kermit.

"You think I did the right thing," Kermit sighed looking at Piggy.

"You did good Kermie. I know it's going to be hard on Robin, but he was going to find out sooner or late that Santa wasn't real," Piggy said assuring her frog friend that he did the right thing.

"So what did you two with Andy and Randy?" Kermit asked.

"I put them in the Electric Mayhem's room and told them to torture each other if they're bored," Piggy responded.

Kermit nodded and then stared off in space for a few seconds, in deep thought until he overheard Gonzo.

"Yes I won. Ha ha ha." Cheered Gonzo. "In your faces guys!"

Gonzo got up from the table and ran outside.

"Where's he going?" Pepe asked looking at Gonzo running out.

"I'd say he's celebrating," Link answered the prawn's question.

"I just hope he comes out in one piece," remarked Rizzo. "Your boyfriend is a real goof," Rizzo said to Camilla.

"Bwak, bwak! Camilla said.

"I can't believe I'm talking to a chicken who can't understand english," Rizzo stated.

Suddenly a loud boom was overheard by everyone and the house shook a little. In the background noise was Gonzo cheering. Bobo and Bean Bunny looked out the window to see Gonzo attached to a rocket flying really fast in the air.

"He's nuts," Bobo said.

"Not a very cute idea, tying yourself on a rocket and flying across town, if you ask me," Bean Bunny added.

__________________________________________________________

Later on that night, everyone had gone to bed. Gonzo got back from his celebrating and Beauregard returned from taking the Electric Mayhem to the airport. It was peaceful and quiet throught the house. None of the creatres were stiring, not even the mice, or rats, or pigs, or dogs, or frogs.

Suddenly a loud thud hit the top of the roof, which caused all the muppets to wake up. What could the loud noise be?

Chapter 7: Up on The House Top

The Muppets got out of their beds and everybody walked down stairs to see what was going on.

"Yo, what was that?" Clifford asked.

"Whoever that was is going to slugged by me," Sweetums said.

"Quack, quack," the ducks quacked and looked at each other.

"What was that noise?" Fozzie asked, yawning at the same time.

Everybody gathered around, still half asleep and staggering around. It was almost 2 in the morning, to early for anybody to be up.

"It wasn't us this time, honest," Andy and Randy said.

"Beaker and I were alseep and weren't experimenting with anything," Bunsen replied.

"Me me me," Beaker added.

"Is it time for school already?" Beauregard looked around. Everybody looked at Beau and shook their heads.

"Rizzo, how many times do I have to tell you not to eat beans before you go to bed," said Gonzo.

"I didn't even eat beans for dinner," Rizzo stated. "Although beans do sound good. Hey chef, can you make me some beans?"

"Her de ver voo," the Swedish Chef said.

"Is that a yes?" Rizzo asked.

"It wasn"t me either, although now I want to bomb something," Crazy Harry replied.

"I'm getting to old for this craziness," George said.

'You're getting old? How do you think I feel," Pops said. "I can't take much more of this"

"It isn't cute for somebody to wake me up in the middle of the night," Bean Bunny commented rubbing his eyes.

"Whoever did this is clearly unamerican and deserves to get taxed heavily," Sam complained.

Link went over to that half bathroom by the stairs and looked at a mirror to see his hair. "Ugh, horrible, just horrible. I'm heaving a bad hair night."

Dr. Strangepork went over to Link. "Vonly vou vould look at your hair at this time of hour."

"Hey, gotta look good day and night," stated Link.

Miss Piggy was the last to walk down the stairs. She was still half asleep and was wearing green skin cream, which she forgot was still on her. Otherwise she would have washed it off before coming down.

"Look it's pigzilla!" Johnny chuckled and pointed at Piggy.

"Nah, nah, it's porkenstein!" Sal laughed and corrected Johnny.

Piggy walked over to Johnny and sal and grabbed them by their necks. "Stop with the jokes or the last thing you two won't see anythign else in your pointless little lives.

"Agh, okay," Sal tired to say clearly even though he was choking again.

"Ugh, we were just picking up Floyd's slack of jokes since he ain't here," Johnny tried to say gasping for air.

Piggy let go of Johnny and Sal who were trying to catch their breaths.

"That's three times now Sal that you were suppsoed to protect me," Johnny commented.

"I hate this christmas special, I really do," Sal said looking at Johnny.

Kermit walked towards the door. "I'm going to go check things out."

"You want me to go with your Kermit? I can bark loud to scare whoever is up there away?" Rowlf asked.

"No I'm going to go look myself," Kermit said as he walked out the front door.

"Say, I wonder what the hipcat frog is going to see," Zippity Zap said.

"Maybes its some beautiful sexy womans up there, okay," Pepe commented.

"Maybe it's a bunch of staplers who have lost their way because there are no more staples for them to staple papers with," Gonzo said.

"Gonzo!" Everyone said.

Kermit walked into the house and shut the door. "Guys, you're never going to believe what is up on the roof. It's a sleigh with eight reindeer."

Everyone gasped and were confused. A sleigh with eight reindeer? How could that be possible everyone thought.

Chapter 8: Is This For Real?

The muppets were surprised at the mere mention of eight reindeer on the roof.

"Eight reindeer on the roof? Looks like the hipcat frog has lost all his marbles," Zippity Zap said.

"Hey Kermit, you never told me you had any marbles," replied Beauregard.

Everyone groaned at Beau's comment.

"Eight reindeer? So was the Easter Bunny up there too?" Rizzo joked.

"Who needs the Easter Bunny when you can have someone like me who is ten times cuter!" Bean Bunny remarked.

Another round of groans were heard from the muppet gang.

"I just now notice that you and I have the same voice," Rizzo looked at Bean surprised that they both have the same pitched voice.

"I'm telling you all that there's eight reindeer on the roof," Kermit pleaded the case to his friends.

"Is there some sexy and beautiful womens up there too?" Pepe had to ask.

Kermit rolled his eyes. "Come out with me."

"Is that a yes?" Pepe asked himself.

With that, all the muppets went outside to see if there really were eight reindeer. And to there surprise, Kermit was right.

"Wow!" Rizzo said, astonished at the sight he was seeing.

"Ver de her hooooooon deer!" The Swedish Chef said in surprise.

Rizzo looked at the chef. "Between you and Camilla, I don't know what in sam hill you two are saying!"

Robin's eyes widened with happiness. "See, I told you Santa was real. Here is his reindeer."

Kermit was not going to argue his case to his nephew anymore. Could it be that Santa Clause really existed? After all, Kermit was staring at eight reindeer that were connected to a red sleigh.

"Hey Aunt Piggy, can we get in the sleigh?" Andy asked his aunt.

"Ya, we want to take a ride in it," Randy added.

Piggy was half tempted to let her two nephews fly out in the unknown so they wouldn't bother her again. But there notion quickly passed. "No you may not."

Andy and Randy both grumbled.

Clifford was standing right beside Kermit, gazing at the reindeer. "So what do you want to do now?"

Kermit was at a loss for words on what to do next. He finally remembered the note he had found earlier. He rushed back in the house, which made the door slam, to go and get it.

Some of the muppets watched Kermit, wondering what he was doing.

"It's blazing cold out here. Hope to betsy that the frog didn't pull a stunt to get us all out here and lock the door," Pops said, bitting his teeth as he was cold.

"If that's the case, I'm going to write to my congressmen about having no frogs running a house and sending the tenants outside in the bitter cold," Sam the eagle remarked.

"That gives me an idea for my next big act!" Gonzo enthusiastically said. "I'm going to shoot myself out of a cannon and into a frozen lake and see how long I last before I get hyperthermia!"

"You're such a weirdo!" Rizzo remarked.

"Thanks Rizzo!" Gonzo looked at his best friend nodding in agreement.

Suddenly Kermit came back outside holding a note.

"What's that you got in your hand, Kermit?" Fozzie asked.

"The note I was telling you and Rowlf about," Kermit replied. "I think the reindeer and this note tie in together."

The other muppets were listening to the conversation.

"This is very interesting to moi, but moi needs her beauty sleep," Piggy calmly said. "Not to mention it's freezing out here!" She then shouted.

What the heck, Kermit decided. "Alright everyone, back inside the house."

The muppets walked back inside the house.

Kermit turned his attention to everyone. "I got a note that said 'we need your help' right when we were leaving the theater. And later on in the night Robin came up to me after listening in on a conversation between two people who said Santa Clause was sick and needed help. And now we have eight reindeer tied to a red sleigh on the roof."

Some of the mupptes were putting it all together.

And then there was Beauregard. "So are you telling us that eight reindeer are going to read a note to you about what they want from Santa Clause?"

More groans were muttered in frustration because of the annoyance of Beau.

Rowlf put a hand on Beau's right shoulder. "You haven't been sniffing mop fumes again, have you?"

"It would be an improvement for him," George grumbled.

"So Kermit, you're telling us that the eight reindeer up there are from the North Pole and that they are Santa Clause's actual reindeer he uses to deliver presents around the world to children," Scooter asked.

"Exactly my point," Kermit looked at the assitant.

"So what are we wating for, let's get in the sleigh and ride back to the North Pole and see what's going on with Santa," Robin chimed in.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Johnny interrupted.

"Hey everyone, Johnny Faima has something to say!" Sal shouted, right next to Johnny's left ear.

Johhny tapped his left ear a few times until the ringing in his ears had stopped. He looked at Sal. "Sal, if you're going to announce what I'm about to do, please do so away from my ears!"

Sal let out a small chuckle. "Sorry Johnny!"

"As I was saying, what if these so called reindeer up on the roof, up there, fly us into our doom," Johnny realized the hazard of getting in the sleigh.

Gonzo's eyes lit up. "That would be so cool!"

"I don't think that will happen, Robin looked at Johnny. "Come on guys, we need to get in the sleigh and find out what's going on with Santa."

Kermit was reluctant to go with Robin's plan.

Robin looked back at his uncle, displaying wide eyes of emotion. "Please Uncle Kermit, this would mean a lot to me if we went."

Kermit looked at his nephew. How can he say no to him after young Robin had proved him wrong about Santa Clause. Kermit nodded. "Alright Robin, we'll go."

Robin hugged his uncle as tight as he could, thanking him.

"Does this mean we have to go back outside again," Pops complained.

"Hey Rowlf, let's get a ladder so we can climb up,' Fozzie said.

"Well, we can't climb down with it," Rowlf remarked.

"Ah, that's funny! Wocka, wocka!" Responded Fozzie.

A few minutes later, Rowlf and Fozzie managed to get the ladder and meet the other muppets outside. They both placed the ladder right next to the roof.

Kermit looked at everyone. "Alright, who's all not going?"

"I'm not," George was the first one to reply. "I'm to old for this."

"Count me out Kermit. I'm to cold for this!" Pops added.

"Si, si, me neithers Kermit. I don't think there's going to be any sexy women's up in the north pole for me to get," Pepe replied at the frog.

"He, he, can I blow up something?" Crazy Harry hysterically said.

"No!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Fine I'm not going then," Harry muttered to himself.

"Hey Kermit, I don't think the sleigh would hold me," Sweetums replied about his height and weight.

"Well how can I possibly go. The cold is going to mess up my hair," Link said messing around with his hair.

"Vel, count me out too Kermit," Strangepork said. "Some vone vas to keep an eye out for tis character."

"Ver de hern de plu, yip, yip, yip," Swedish Chef responded.

"I still don't know what he said!" Rizzo retorted.

Rowlf was looking at his "Translations From Sweeden To English For Dummies" book. "He said he doesn't want to go."

Rizzo nodded. "So that's what he said. Say Rowlf, where'd ya get that book there?"

"From the 'Translations From Sweeden To English For Dummies' book store!" Rowlf laughed.

"What about you Zippity Zap?" Kermit asked.

"Sorry hipcat, but this cool daddio will be staying where he can stay warm," Zippity Zap responded.

"What about you Lew?"

"Oh sorry Mr. Da Frog, I would love to, but my boomerang fish don't repsond well to the cold," Lew Zealand looked at Kermit.

"Yeesh, what's with you all? Can't handle the cold?" Kermit was getting annoyed that his friends were departing from the adventure that had not begun yet.

"Birds don't do well in the cold," Sam thought, as he didn't feel like becoming the first eagle popsickle.

"I would love to go and see all the cute little elf faces, but it's not so cute when you're freezing your little cotton tail off Kermit!" Bean Bunny added.

"Johnny and I don't want to go either," Sal said.

Johnny looked at Sal, surprised. "Sal, I never said that."

"But you were going to say that, weren't you Johnny."

"Actually no," Johnny replied.

"Come on Johnny, I don't want to go. You know what the cold weather does to your hair."

"Holey toledo! You're right Sal! My hair would become a frozen waste land. I wouldn't be able to fix it no more," Johnny realized what could happen.

"Anybody else not going?" Kermit looked around, knowing he was down to a handful of his friends.

"Memememememe," Beaker replied.

Busen looked at Kermit. "Beaker and I still haven't done our holiday shopping yet, Mr. Kermit."

"Hey that reminds me, I got to get my second cousin's brother's little girl something for christmas this year," Bobo the bear remarked. "What was I thinking. Must have slipped my mind."

Kermit turned to Annie Sue, the young pig who wanted to be like Miss Piggy. "You going Annie Sue?"

"Hey, I'm never counted for any muppet adventures. Might as well continue the tradition. So I'm not going," Annie Sue answered the question.

"Anybody else not going?' Kermit continued to ask around.

"Moi doesn't want to come with............"

Kermit interrupted Piggy. "Oh you're going, and you're taking those two no account nephews with you too."

Kermit didn't give Miss Piggy any other choise. "Fine," Piggy muttered to herself.

"Alright everyone, let's get in the sleigh," Kermit ordered.

As everyone was getting on the sleigh, Gonzo looked at Piggy. "You never looked better Miss Piggy. That green makeup on you makes you look devine!"

Piggy finally realized she still had her green night facial cream on. "Oh Kermie, I got to take this off!" Piggy shouted, trying to get out of the sleigh.

Fozzie pulled out a spray bottle and sprayed Piggy. Piggy's face was now wet.

Fozzie looked at her. "Wocka, wocka! You look great now Piggy!"

Piggy grumbled at Fozzie.

Clifford looked at Kermit, who was taking up the reigns. "Yo Kerm, you know how to drive this?"

Kermit gulped. "Nope."

Suddenly, as Kermit tugged on the reigns, the reindeer flew, dragging the sleigh carrying the muppets with them.

"Sam, take care of the house while we're gone!" Kermit tried to say while being flown away by the reindeer.

Pops looked at Sam. "What was he trying to say?"

Sam shrugged his shoulders. "Something about moving to Russia, I guess."






****Okay, so if anybody is reading this, I just decided to come back and restart this story after leaving it for almost a year.*******


****So the characters on this little adventure are: Kermit, Piggy, Rowlf, Fozzie, Scooter, Gonzo, Robin, Camilla, Rizzo, Beauregard, and Clifford******

 

[ryhoyarbie]

To The North Pole!

The muppets were riding in the sleigh that was being pulled by the eight reindeer.

However, most of the muppets were now getting colder as they approached the North Pole.

"It's getting too cold for my tastes, and pretty soon I won't have any taste left in my mouth! Fozzie remarked, holding for dear life while riding in the sleigh and fighting the freezing tempertures.

"You think that's bad, I gotta scratch myself, and my hands can't even move cause they're frozen! Rowlf replied.

"Man, my whole body is frozen, except for my eyes which are being protected thanks to my sunglasses," Clifford added.

Gonzo was the only one who was actually enjoying the trip. "Woowee! Faster, faster!" Gonzo said enthusiastically, with a joyful expression on his face.

Rizzo shook his head. "I can't believe you're not cold. I'm about to become the first frozen rat!"

"Oh Rizzo, where's your sense of adventure?" Gonzo asked.

"I think it's back in the house, you know, the place that's nice and warm," Rizzo retorted.

Gonzo looked over at Camilla, who was frozen. "Sam was right. Maybe I should have left you back at the house."

Scooter was wiping his glasses off. "My glasses are getting foogy in this altitude."

Andy and Randy were looking at their Aunt Piggy, who couldn't move a muscle.

"Hey Aunt Piggy, you doing okay?" Andy wanted to know.

"I can't feel a thing," Piggy tried to say, bitting her teeth.

"Good, cause we're going to go through your purse and get some money!" Randy said.

Piggy's eyes would have lit up with anger, and she would have done something about it, but she was too frozen.

"How much longer?" Robin was curious.

Kermit didn't have a clue. "I don't realy know. Maybe another few minutes, maybe an hour."

"An hour?" Piggy was discouraged. "I can't take anymore."

"Neither can I Kermit," Rizzo added.

"Oh boy, I could go all night long!" Gonzo was the only one who was having fun.

"That reminds of the song by Lionel Richie," Clifford said. "Too bad the band ain't here to groove us with that tune."

"I doubt they would be able to move their body parts to play the song Clifford," Rowlf was sure of his theory.

Beauregard looked back and notice something appraching fast, then looked back at Kermit. "I hate to be a back seat driver.."

"Then don't!" Rowlf laughed.

Beauregard continued. "I think there's something that's approaching us, and it's getting bigger."

All of the muppets looked back to see what Beauregard was talking about.

"It's a bird!" Fozzie said.

"It's a plane!" Scooter repsonded.

"No! It's........Hey it is a plane!" Rowlf finished.

"What, no Superman?" Rizzo was disappointed.

"Yo Kerm, get us going faster, and pronto!" Clifford said, looking worried. "We're about to become that plane's dinner."

Beauregard was confused. "I didn't know planes ate?"

"Beauregard!" Everyone groaned.

Kermit was trying to make the reindeer go faster by shaking the reigns. "I'm giving it all she's got cap'n!" Kermit said in a scottish voice, imitating Scotty from Star Trek.

Suddenly the reindeer went another direction and flew away from the plane.

The muppets breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was a close one," Clifford said.

"And I wanted to see what the plane ate too," Beauregard looked down.

The rest of the muppets shook their heads.

"Anybody have a road map to tell us where we are?" Rizzo looked around.

Robin looked down to see a small but bright light. "Hey where's that light coming from?"

"Light?" Andy started to touch himself. "I don't feel dead."

"Me neither," Randy added.

The reindeer changed directon and started to fly towards the light.

Robin looked at his uncle. "Uncle Kermit, do you think that light is where Santa Clause is?"

Kermit shrugged his frozen shoulders. "I don't know Robin."

"I just hope these fleabags don't crash us in the ice," Piggy remarked.

"And why not?" Gonzo looked at Piggy. "That would be great!"

Piggy grumbled under her breath.

As the muppets watched, the sleigh approached the light. The reindeer finally landed on a patch of ice, causing a thud when the sleigh hit the ground.

The muppets looked at each other, to see if everyone was alright. Suddenly, a small elf approached the sleigh.

"Hey, who's that?" Scooter said.

"Must be Piggy's fans, the little people she's always talking about!" Fozzie joked. "Wocka, wocka!"

The elf was a young male, who looked like he was about ten years of age. He was wearing a green buttoned up coat, with black pants, a green hat, green ear muffs, and green mittens.

"The boy sure does love green" Clifford joked.

Suddenly the elf pushed a button from the control panel he was carrying and the small ice patch that's carrying the sleigh with the reindeer that was also carrying the muppets started to go down.

The muppets looked at each other and then down, as they descended, not knowing where they were going.

Gonzo looked upset.

Rizzo noticed his blue colored friend down. "What's the matter Gonzo?"

"I want this ride to go faster!" Gonzo groaned.

Rizzo just shook his head.
