Chapter 10
The muppets were looking around to where they were as they were sitting in the sleigh descending. Finally the descending stopped and the muppets were at ground level with everyone else. A few of the muppets looked up to see where they were before. They must have figured they went down about two or three stories.
The muppets fixated their sights to behold literally hundreds of elves working. But to their surprise, the evles looked like young little boys and girls. But in actuality the elves themsselves were either hundres of years old to thousands of years old.
"This is incredible," Robin looked around, amazed at the sight he was looking at. Robin had always wondered what the North Pole would look like, especially Santa's workshop, and now he knew.
"This would be a great place to work out. I bet they have a workers union and everything," Scooter spoke up.
Kermit frowned at Scooter but turned his attention back at the elves.
"Imagine the kinds of damage we can do to this place," Randy's eyes were lit up with glee.
"Where to start, where to start!" Andy added, looking around, trying to make a decision.
Piggy gave both the young pigs a stern look, prompting them to forget about what ever mayhem they were going to cause.
Suddenly two evles started to walk up to the muppets, a young man and young woman, both that looked like they were about fifteenn years of age.
The young man looked at the muppets. "Thank you for coming. We really appreciate it."
"We weren't sure if you would take the note we sent down seriously," the woman calmly spoke.
"That was you?" Kermit said in surprise.
"Yes," the man said. He then sighed and continued. "We have a problem."
The woman continued where the man left off. "We regret that Santa Clause is sick this year. This is the first time this has happened. And we didn't know what to do."
As the rest of the muppets watched, Kermit spoke up. "Couldn't you all just ride in the sleigh and deliver the presents across the world?"
The man looked at the green frog. "Well we're not really supposed to ride in it. It's one of the big guys rules."
"Man, talk about a harsh boss. I would have mutinied if I couldn't get to ride on the sleigh," Rizzo replied.
Kermit shot a look at Rizzo. "Rizzo," Kermit calmly said.
Kermit looked back at the young man and woman. "We'll since we're here, we might as help you all."
"And besides, it would be a short fan fic if we said no!" Rowlf quipped.
The muppets started to laugh and do did the two elves.
"Well since you're here, we might as well give you a tour of the place," the young woman said. "By the way, I'm Jenda, and the young man is Kris."
Kermit nodded at their acknowldgements. "I'm Kermt, and this are my friends. We have......."
"Thanks, but we know all the muppets names," Jenda kindly said. "If you all follow me please."
The muppets got out of the sleigh and began walking, following Jenda and Kris.
Gozno was carrying Camilla, who had freezed while on route to come over here. "Can anyone thaw out a chicken?"
Kris looked at Gonzo and wanted to help him with his delemma. "Hand me Camilla. I'll take care of her."
Gonzo gave his beloved girlfriend over to Kirs. "Just try not to cook her. The Swedish Chef has been trying to do that for years."
Kris smiled and walked off with Camilla.
"Where's the cafeteria when you need one, I'm starving", Rizzo was patting his stomach.
Jenda looked at Rizzo. "We got all the food you can eat. Want some cookies?"
Rizzo's eyes lit up. "Do I! Are they chocolate chip?"
Jenda smiled. "They sure are."
Jenda motioned for one of the workers to come over to her. "Get our guests all the chocolate chips cookies and glasses of cold milk they can gave."
Piggy sighed. "And here moi was trying to lose a little weight."
"Looks like you could stand to lose a lot of weight!" Rowlf laughed.
Piggy grabbed Rowlf by his ears. "Watch it or I'll make you into a throw rug."
She let go of Rowlf while leaving Rowlf to massage his ears, trying to reduce the pain.
"Good one Rowlf," Clifford smiled as he high-fived the dog.
A few minutes later several evles brought the muppets each a glass of milk and several gigantic sized chocolate chip cookies.
Rizzo started to chow down. "Now this is what I'm talking about here!"
As they were eating the cookies. They looked around at the workshop.
The workshop itself was composed of different rooms. But the room the muppets were at seemed like the main room. It had two stories, with the stairs coming out on both sides that could take one to the second floor where other evles were working.
Plus the workshop was decorated in christmas decorates, from misletoe, to various christmas lights blinking, to christmas reefs hanging. There was also an enomous christmas tree that literally reached to the top of the ceiling. It was also deoctaed with chirstmas lights and different ordainments. Underneath the tree were hundreds to thousands of presents too.
All the elves were working on different things around the workshop. Some were putting the final touches on dolls, while others were checking to make sure that other items like bicycles were in working order.
Each of the elves were wearing different outfits, mostly comprising of red, green, blue, and white christmas colors, though some of the ladies were also wearing pink and yellow outfits too.
Suddenly the elves started to sing, to the muppets amazement.
"Ho ho ho.
Ho ho ho.
We are Santa's elves.
We are Santa's elves,
Filling Santa's shelves With a toy
For each girl and boy.
Oh, we are Santa's elves.
We work hard all day,
But our work is play.
Dolls we try out,
See if they cry out.
We are Santa's elves.
We've a special job each year.
We don't like to brag.
Christmas Eve we always
Fill Santa's bag.
Santa knows who's good.
Do the things you should.
And we bet you,
He won't forget you.
We are Santa's elves.
Ho ho ho. Ho ho ho.
We are Santa's elves.
Ho Ho!"
The muppets clapped, with a few whistling, approving of the song.
Kris walked up to the muppets, who were finishing their milk and cookies, holding Camilla. "Gonzo, I believe she is yours."
Gonzo looked up to see his girlfriend. "Oh gee thanks." Gonzo grabbed the bird and hugged her, and then smelled her. "Wow, what a fragrace!"
Kris smiled. "It's apple cinnamon. Glad you liked it."
Jenda proceeded to speak. "We should show you to the big guy himself."
"We're going to meet God?" Beauregard spoke up.
Everyone just shook their heads in frustration.
"No Beauregard, we're going to see Santa Clause, although kids think of Santa as a god of sorts too," Jenda smiled at the muppet. "This way."
The muppets, along with Jenda and Kris went up the stair and walked towards a hallway, away from the workshop. They stopped as they saw two big doors shapped like candy canes.
Rizzo took notice of the candy shapped doors. "Are those real candy canes?"
Jenda smiled with assurance at him. "Yes they are."
Rizzo darted past the rest of the muppets and jumped up to the candy cane door and began licking them.
As Rizzo continued to lick the doors, they slowly came open. Kris and Jenda motioned for the rest of the muppets to follow them inside Santa's room.
As the muppets began walking in, Clifford looked at Rizzo who was still licking the candy cane doors. "Yo, Riz, come on. Ask Santa for some of those for your christmas present when we meet him."
Rizzo continued to lick the doors, not even budging.
Clifford grabbed Rizzo's tail and yanked him from the doors to join the others.
The muppets saw Santa Clause himself in bed, laying and wearing some red pajamas while still wearing his glasses. Strangely enough, Santa Clause looked similiar to Tim Allen.
Kris turned to the muppets. "And now I'm pleased to introduce you all to Santa Clause. Santa this is the muppets. Muppets, this is Santa."
Young Robin was star struck and couldn't say anything.
Santa looked at the muppets. "Ah, the muppets. The ones who are trying to make people happy, dedicating themsevles to the lovers and dreamers."
Kermit gulped being nervous yet excited at the same time. "Yes sir, that's us."
Santa smiled at the green frog. "My dear, Kermit, you don't have to call me sir. Besides, I work for a living!" Santa started to chuckle and then coughed some. "Blasted cough."
"Gee Santa, it seems like you need a doctor," Robin was able to finally manage to say something.
"I can get dressed in scrubs and go at the old routine as Doctor Bob and check you out," Rowlf though.
"No thank you. I've already seen the best doctor up here in the North Pole," Santa explained.
Gonzo got up and faced Santa as he continued to lay in bed. "Say, you look like Tim Allen."
Santa shook his head. "I'm not Tim Allen."
Gonzo grabbed a script from out of nowhere. "Then how come it says on this script the part of Santa Clause will be played by Tim Allen?"
Santa looked embarrassed and started to blush. "Alright, so I sold my soul to Disney. They own me now."
Fozzie looked a little paler than usual. "They own us too." Fozzie sighed.
Santa got back to why he called the muppets. "Anyway, I'm glad you're all here because I need help with delivering all of the toys to all the girls and boys around the world."
Kermit looked at the other muppets then back at Santa. "Well Santa, we'll do it. Just because we don't want to uspet any of those kids who have been good all year long."
"That and if we said no, this story would be over with," Scooter added.
Santa smiled, glad the muppets were going to help him with his problem. "Good, but there's something else."
Rizzo humphed. "I knew there was going to be a 'but' in this conversation."
Santa continued. "There's someone who's been trying to sabotage christmas for a few years now and this year he may do it since I'm sick."
"And I thought this adventure wouldn't feature a villian this time," Rowlf shrugged. "Here's your five bucks Scooter."
The muppets, Santa, Kris, and Jenda looked at Rowlf, confused.
"We made bet, you know, a bet, a bet," Rowlf explained.
Suddenly a beautiful woman with long brown hair came calling out. "Yes?" The woman looked around.
Rowlf shook his head and looked at the audience. "Cheap old joke we're still trying to do ever since we did it in The Muppt Movie folks."
Kermit looked at Santa. "Who is this person?"
Santa continued to explain. "His name is Harrison the elf. He's been serving under me for a very long time, until he was banned a few years ago. And now he's fed up with christmas in general and wants the holiday to stop," Santa said. "He thinks that if no one delivers the toys, there would not be a christmas."
The muppets gasped in surprise.
"That's a pretty messed up dude," Clifford looked at everyone.
Santa shook his head. "He thinks that christmas has become to commercialized and people have lost the true meaning of christmas."
Piggy spoke up. "Well moi has always known, buy yourself as many gifts as you can afford."
"I don't think that's it Piggy," Kermit looked at her.
"Well that's what christmas means to me, thank you very much," Piggy hissed in retaliation.
"Such a premadonna," Rowlf whispered at Fozzie who then nodded.
Santa didn't feel like argueing the true meaning of christmas with Miss Piggy, since he was sick. "Well you all have atleast thirteen hours or so before you need to make the trip. So make yourselves at home until you all leave."
"Oh boy, I can go back and eat that candy cane door," Rizzo turned his attention to the candy covered doors.
Santa looked on at Rizzo. "If you want something to eat, just ask."
"But Rizzo, you just ate some cookies," Gonzo responded.
Rizzo hit Gonzo in the gut. "Who cares, it's free, and that means I'm eating everything!"
Santa smiled. "Jenda, Kris, tell Kermit the frog and company where all they're going to be stopping at on their trip. And try not to find Harrison. I fear he maybe lurking around somewhere, waiting for his time to bring his plan to full circle."
The muppets were looking around to where they were as they were sitting in the sleigh descending. Finally the descending stopped and the muppets were at ground level with everyone else. A few of the muppets looked up to see where they were before. They must have figured they went down about two or three stories.

"Where to start, where to start!" Andy added, looking around, trying to make a decision.
