Scooter's Story

[Super Scooter]

Actually, the random Pepe stuff was helping me think of new things to do with the story.

 

[sarah_yzma]

Whenever you get writers block, you can e-mail me ANY Pepe stuff you want!

 

[Super Scooter]

I will do that.

(more story tomorrow. tear jerker comin' up!)

You know I think I've had this conversation with Lisa(TogetherAgain) about muffining your fan-fic when you have writer's block...I don't remember how it turned out, but I know at least one of us got mauled with penguins.

Nice story chief.

The bit with Johnny and Sal was five out of five stars in my book of "How many stars to give fan fics"!

I also liked Pepe and his bit.

Isn't that how all topics end?

 

[theprawncracker]

Isn't that how all topics end?

Here? Yes. Now if only we could get congress to end topics like that, THEN we'd live in a perfect world.

 

[sarah_yzma]

I wouldn't mind hurling a few penguins at some of them.....

 

[Super Scooter]

We now present... The Pollitical Penguin runs for President...

Presidential hopeful, P. E. N. Guin: Quack, quack quack quack quack quack quack. Quack, quack quack quack quack quack quack. Quack, quack quack quack quack quack quack. Quack, quack quack quack quack quack quack. Quack, quack quack quack quack quack quack. ... Quack quack.

*Pollitical Penguin leaves podium*

 

[Super Scooter]

The ELECTRIC MAYHEM enters and joins the party.

FLOYD: Hey, man, what's goin' down? Some kind of party we wasn't invited to?

JANICE: Well, boy, it rully seems like it, fer sure.

FLOYD: Well, all right then. Wouldn't be a party if we couldn't crash it, after all.

ANIMAL: Party! Party! Caffeine! Crash!

FOZZIE gets up on top of a box so he can see over (most of) the other Muppets. He has a glass of champagne in hand, as well as a fork.

FOZZIE: Excuse me? Everybody?

FOZZIE begins clinking the fork against the glass to get their attention.

FOZZIE: Could I have everyone's attention, please?

He's not getting it, so he hits the fork against the glass harder and harder until the glass shatters.

FOZZIE: Ooops.

This gets everyones attention.

FOZZIE: Oh, uh, hiya, hiya, hiya! It's me, the old furry, fuzzy, funny man! Wah ha ha! I would just like to say that I think Scooter has been a wonderful contribution to the Muppets, and I think I speak for everyone here when I say that we will miss you. And I...

FOZZIE buries his face in his hat to keep from crying. KERMIT goes up to help him out.

KERMIT: It's okay, Fozzie.

FOZZIE: It's just so sad, Kermit.

KERMIT: I know, Fozzie.

FOZZIE: I put alot of work into this speech.

KERMIT: Er, I know, Fozzie. Go sit down, Fozzie.

FOZZIE: You'll finish it?

KERMIT: Yes, Fozzie.

FOZZIE: You'll include the joke about the pirahna and the hubble telescope?

KERMIT: Er, just sit down, Fozzie.

FOZZIE: Thank you, Kermit.

FOZZIE sits down on the box. KERMIT looks down at him confused.

FOZZIE: I'm ready when you are, Kermit.

KERMIT shrugs his shoulders.

KERMIT: Scooter, I suppose everything I say to you now comes from the heart. Mine and Fozzie's and everyone else here. You're a part of our family, Scooter. We know we'll see you again, but... until then, we'll all miss you. I know you'll carry a piece of us wherever you go, and we'll carry a piece of you until you return.

CRAZY HARRY: I could arrange that! Hahahahahaha!

ANIMAL: Big boom! Big boom! Blow up! Ha ha!

KERMIT: Would someone calm those two down???

FLOYD: Animal, take this mild sedetive!

ROWLF: Crazy Harry, take this not-so-mild sedetive!

ROWLF conks HARRY over the head with a club.

KERMIT: Anyway, Scooter, we may be a bunch of crazies, but we're not without heart, and we're going to miss you. With that... I'd like to propose a toast...

They all raise their glasses, including FOZZIE with his broken glass.

KERMIT: (cont'd) ... to Scooter.

SCOOTER: Gosh! Gee, thanks everybody!

MISS PIGGY enters.

MISS PIGGY: *ahem!* What's going on, everyone?

SCOOTER: Oh, hi, Miss Piggy!

KERMIT: Piggy, where have you been?

PIGGY: Well, I don't know if anyone else noticed it, but... (yelling) The show is still on!!!

KERMIT: What??? The show is still on???

GONZO: (looking out at the audience) She's right, Kermit. We've got a full crowd, and they don't look too happy. Cool, that should be great for my act! So much more danger working for a riled audience.

KERMIT: Everyone to your places, now! Onstage, offstage, in the rafters! Everyone, go, go, go!!!

SCOOTER: But, what about...

Everyone runs off to their various assignments. The only one left is SCOOTER.

SCOOTER: ... Me?

SCOOTER goes up to his cake and looks down at it. Someone has drawn a silly little picture of him in the icing.

SCOOTER: Gosh, it sure is nice to know you have people who care about you. And, I am going to miss this place, and all of these people. But this is something I have to do... for me.

(looking around; sung)

Saying goodbye,
Going away.
Seems like goodbye's such
A hard thing to say.
Touching a hand,
Wondering why?
It's time for saying goodbye.

(picking up his luggage; walking to the door)

Saying goodbye,
Why is it sad?
Makes us remember
The good times we've had.
Much more to say,
Foolish to try,
It's time for saying goodbye.

(exiting the building)

Don't want to leave,
But we both know
Sometimes it's better to go.

(stops outside the building, looks at it)

Somehow I know,
We'll meet again.
Not sure quite where,
And I don't know just when.
You're in my heart, so until then...
It's time for saying goodbye...

SCOOTER leaves, we watch him as he disappears in the distance.

KERMIT comes rushing out of the building.

KERMIT: Scooter! Scooter?!

He is there just in time to watch him almost out of sight.

KERMIT: Goodbye, Scooter.

(sung)

Somehow I know,
We'll meet again,
Not sure quite where
And I don't know just when.

FOZZIE enters to join him.

FOZZIE:

You're in my heart, so until then...

KERMIT:

Wanna smile...

FOZZIE:

Wanna cry...

KERMIT AND FOZZIE:

Saying goodbye....

We pull out to reveal all of the Muppets outside of the building.

ALL BUT KERMIT AND FOZZIE:

La la la la, la la la la, la la la la la la la!!!

As the song ends, SAL comes running out of the theater.

SAL: Okay, everyone! Johnny Fiama frantically comin' through!

JOHNNY runs out with a tray of cannollis.

JOHNNY: Hot cannolli! Hot cannolli! HOT!!!

The cannollis go flying everywhere as JOHNNY trips over the sidewalk.

SAL: You dropped them, Johnny.

JOHNNY: I noticed that, Sal... *sniff sniff*

SAL: All right! Back to the kitchen! We'll remake those cannollis good!
