Felt like doing another chapter. I'll either write one or two more chapters in this story............

Chapter 5: Libby Lou's Dance Partner/ "Right Back Where We Started From"
The evening continued to be just like the old days........a lot of fun. Dancing, drinking, partying; just the necessities of a 70's disco party. Everyone was having a great time.
Libby Lou was over at the bar, having her second Harper's Isle of the evening. She looked on at the other dancers on the dance floor. Too bad she missed her opportunity to dance as Cha Cha in "Grease" earlier that evening. Secretly, she wasn't really sick. Her plan was to fake being sick so she didn't have to dance with Floyd in the prom scene. However, she does have sudden allergy attacks once in a while. Unfortunately, this was the evening of one of her allergy attacks. The allergy attack she had DID get her out of dancing with Floyd, but she never really had the flu. She just lied to both Kermit and Floyd so she didn't have to say she was having an allergy attack. Libby Lou was alright now. She sounded like her perfectly normal, tough self.
And of Floyd....Libby Lou and him detested each other. It wasn't because Libby Lou was jealous of Floyd and Janice together (she didn't care about their relationship). She just thought Floyd was arrogant, mean, and overly sarcastic. But then again.........so was she. And plus, Libby Lou was one of the very few people in the cast to be trusted by Miss Piggy (In which Floyd and Miss Piggy can't stand each other).
Libby Lou went to the cast party alone. No boyfriend. No nothing. Just herself. But....she wouldn't mind a partner to be with on the dance floor. If there's one thing Libby Lou loved more than anything, it was dancing. Doesn't matter what kind of dance it was, just as long as she was moving and twirling and...whatever.
She then turned to Animal, whom has been in the juice fountain for already a half hour. Even though Animal was Floyd's "trusty steed," she actually really liked Animal for his crazy self. "Hey, Animal," Libby Lou called to him. Animal popped his head out from the fountain. "Ha?" Animal asked, wondering. "You wanna be my dance partner? Even if it's just for the next song?" she asked. "Okay," Animal replied, nodding. Animal LOVED women. Just as much as drums, food, and juice fountains. So being with any woman made Animal smile. "You no sick?" he asked. "It was just an allergy attack," Libby Lou explained. "I guess I must've panicked. I'm much better now." "Oh," Animal replied, understanding.
Libby Lou then grabbed Animal's hand and lead out to the dance floor, just as one of Libby Lou's favorite songs was starting up: "Right Back Where We Started From" by Maxine Nightingale. "I no good dancer," Animal confessed as Libby Lou positioned his arms. "Just follow my lead," she replied.
Other couples (including Floyd and Janice, Fozzie and Misty, Scooter and Annie Sue, Rizzo and Yolanda, and Walter and some female whatnot) followed Libby Lou and Animal's dance moves in the song.
(Libby Lou)
Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming on
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Do you remember that day (Everyone else: That sunny day)
When you first came my way
I said no one could take your place
And if you get hurt (Everyone else: If you get hurt)
By the little things I say
I can put that smile back on your face
(Everyone)
Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming on
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Libby Lou then helped Animal lead her into a dip. In her mind, he might not have been the brightest dance partner she's ever had, but at least he obeyed what she requested him to do in a dance move. That's all that mattered. She was dancing with someone.
(Libby Lou)
A love like ours (Everyone else: A love like ours)
Can never fade away
You know it's only just begun
You give me your love (Everyone else: Give me your love)
I just can't stay away, no, no
I know you are the only one
(Everyone)
Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming on
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where we started from
"How much longer of dancing?" Animal asked, starting to sound exhausted. "Just a few more minutes, hon, and I'll let you sleep in the juice fountain the rest of the night," Libby Lou replied. She wasn't going to let her partner go just yet. She didn't want to lose him to a juice fountain. She just wanted to dance so bad through her favorite song's entirety. Libby Lou then Animal into a tango, along with the rest of the couples. Afterwards, she helped him lead her into a spin and held Animal closer to her. "Woman! Woman fierce! Fierce and fiery!" Animal said excitingly. "How imaginative," Libby Lou replied, accepting his compliment.
(Libby Lou)
You give me your love (Everyone else: Give me your love)
I just can't stay away, no
I know you are the only one
(Everyone)
Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming on
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where we started from
It's alright and it's coming on
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where we started from
It's alright and it's coming on
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where we started from
As soon as the song ended, Libby Lou freed Animal from her grasp, but not without giving him kiss on the cheek first. "Thanks, Animal," Libby Lou said afterwards. "Woman......woman.....woman....."Animal said, infatuated by said "woman" Libby Lou and fainted. She then dragged Animal back into the juice fountain where he belonged for the night. Libby Lou got what she wanted. Her glory and love to dance.........even with a not so bright partner like Animal.
-------------------------------------End of Chapter 5------------------------------------
I really wanted to write a chapter with Libby Lou, giving her much more character than just "some random whatnot." Anyways, I'm getting really into this story, however, I may only write one or two more chapters. Sad, I know, but I'm saving one of the best songs for either next chapter or the following. So stay tuned!
The song is "Right Back Where We Started From" by Maxine Nightingale. Here's the song:
