I finally got an idea for another fan fic! I've been trying to come up with one for awhile! It's a Sesame Street fan fiction. I really wanted to write a Fraggle Rock one because I've already done a SS, and a Muppet fan fic, but this idea came to me so I went with it. I won't describe it except that it involves a beloved character and a Hollywood adventure (hence the title). I hope you all like it! So, here is chapter one!
Chapter One:
“Five minutes until the play starts everyone! Start getting into places!” yelled Prairie Dawn.
Prairie and all of her friends on Sesame Street were getting ready to perform another one of Prairie’s famous plays and everything backstage was a little chaotic.
“Prairieeeee, I can’t find my Phillip Chapman costume! What am I going to do?” asked a worried Telly Monster.
“Telly, hold on, I’ll see if Kathy can help you,” said Prairie and walked over to where her special friend was helping others with their costumes.
“Kathy, have you seen Telly’s costume? I can’t help him right now, curtain is in five minutes!” said an exasperated Prairie.
“Relax, I’ll help him. Come here Telly,” said Kathy.
Prairie was feeling very nervous about this play. It was a special play she wrote about heroes. She asked all of her Sesame Street friends to dress as different types of heroes that they had.
Bert and Ernie were peeking out of the curtain at the crowd that was gathering.
“Look Bert, there’s Karen and James!” exclaimed Ernie referring to some special friends Bert had met awhile ago. Karen and Bert helped each other out of a bad situation and had stayed in touch.
“Oh I’m so glad she could make it!” said Bert excitedly.
“Three minutes to opening curtain everyone!” said Prairie. She was thinking to herself that this would be the last time she ever wrote a play, directed it and provided the music. Of course, she was wrong. She’d do it again and again because in the end she loved it.
Everyone continued to rush around backstage. Everyone except one furry blue monster.
Grover sat in the corner in his Super Grover attire. He sighed thinking of what happened the day before at the rehearsal.
Prairie thought it was a fine idea to have a superhero in the play, so Grover happily signed on to be Super Grover. He was supposed to come out, sing his lines and then wow the audience by flying in the air. But, at rehearsal, this didn’t happen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During rehearsal, when it was his turn, he came out on to the stage.
“I am Super Grover, I fly with great ease, I rescue people whenever I please,” sang Grover as Prairie accompanied him on the piano. When he finished his lines she went into a drumroll style on the piano as Grover prepared to fly.
He flew into the air but instead of sailing out over the audience, he crash landed back onto the stage.
“Ohhh, my head!” said Grover as he sat up.
“Grover, are you ok?” asked Ernie.
“Me help you get up!” exclaimed Cookie coming on to stage to help him.
“I’m fine,” said Grover, “I’m just embarrassed.”
Prairie had stopped playing and witnessed the whole scene and had sat silently while everyone rushed to help him. Grover saw her standing off on the side and walked over to talk to her.
“Prairie, I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to fall!” exclaimed Grover.
“Grover…these things always happen when you’re around! You’re going to ruin my play!” shouted Prairie.
“Prairie, that’s not nice! Grover is your amigo!” said Rosita.
“Well, I just want everything to be perfect!” exclaimed Prairie.
“It will be! I promise I will do my best not to let you down!” said Grover.
“All right, all right, back to rehearsal everyone. Rosita, you’re on stage next,” said Prairie.
Grover walked off the stage and got ready to change out of his Super Grover costume. As he walked toward the dressing room, he could hear people talking.
“Grover does get a little over exuberant about things sometimes,” said Bert.
“I think he means well Bert, but you’re right, he gets so excited and then he messes things up,” said Ernie.
“Me not ever see him fly as Super Grover and not crash,” said Cookie.
Grover had heard enough. They all thought he was clumsy. He slowly gathered up his stuff and headed home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now he sat backstage waiting to make a fool of himself during the real live performance. He almost didn’t come, but he didn’t want to make Prairie even madder at him.
“Two minutes! Places everyone!” said Prairie.
Grover sighed and got up to get ready for when it was his turn.
All of Sesame Street had gathered to watch the play. Big Bird and Snuffy were there, Maria, Luis, Gordon, Susan, Gina, Olivia, Bob, Linda and David were all there. Even Oscar was peeking around the corner hoping not to get noticed. Also in attendance was an unfamiliar person sitting at the very back.
Prairie took her seat at the piano and began to play.
“Oh welcome, oh welcome, to our little play, we’re so happy that you have come to join us today,” she sang.
One by one various Sesame Street friends came onstage dressed as a hero. Bert was a doctor, Ernie was a firefighter. Telly was Phillip Chapman. Cookie Monster was Chef Emeril Lagasse. Rosita was a policewoman. Finally, it was Grover’s turn.
“Here goes nothing,” he thought to himself.
“I am Super Grover, I fly with great ease, I rescue people whenever I please,” sang Grover. Once again Prairie went into the drumroll on the piano.
Grover closed his eyes and took off. Suddenly he was in the air flying like he never had before.
“Whoa! This is great! Look at me! I’m SU-PER GROVER!” exclaimed Grover as he flew over the audience doing loops.
The audience was impressed and began to cheer.
“Wow! Look at Grover Snuffy! He’s really flying!” exclaimed Big Bird.
“He sure is Bird!” said Snuffy.
Finally Grover decided to land and gently landed back on stage. He didn’t even crash.
“Ta-da!” he exclaimed.
Everyone else joined him onstage as they sang their final lines and then took a bow. Grover received the most applause.
“I’m sorry Grover. I shouldn’t have doubted you,” said Prairie coming over to Grover after they closed the curtain.
“It’s ok, you weren’t the only one,” said Grover.
“Huh?” said Prairie but Grover had already started to walk away.
Out in the audience Bert was talking to Karen and James. Bob and Linda were praising Cookie Monster for not eating anything during the play. Gordon and Susan were letting their son Miles try on Rosita’s police hat. Ernie was over talking to Maria and Luis about why he chose a firefighter. Telly was over explaining to Big Bird and Snuffy who Phillip Chapman was. David had headed back to Hooper’s Store since he couldn’t leave it alone for very long and Olivia had went with him.
Grover had no one to talk to.
“Oh well, I guess I’ll just go home,” thought Grover and started to turn back towards the stage.
Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder.
“Yes?” he asked as he turned around to face the unfamiliar person.
“Hi Grover. My name is Jake Bosco. You were great in the play!” said the newcomer.
“Oh, well thanks Jake, nice to meet you,” said Grover.
“That Super Grover thing is really cool!” said Jake.
“Thank you very much!” exclaimed Grover.
“I would like to talk to you about it a little bit more in fact,” said Jake.
“I’d be happy to tell you anything you’d like to know,” said Grover.
“Great! Can I buy you a milkshake at the store over there?” asked Jake pointing to Hoopers.
“Sure! I just need to put my stuff away,” said Grover.
“All right, I’ll meet you in five minutes,” said Jake.
“Ok!” said Grover and turned to run off.
Grover put his stuff away as quickly as he could and then ran to Hooper’s Store.
“All right Grover, let me tell you why I’m here first and then we’ll talk about Super Grover,” said Jake.
“Ok,” said Grover.
“I’m here from Hollywood. I work for a television studio and I’ve been looking for ideas for a new show. I think Super Grover would make a great television show and I want to talk to you about coming to Hollywood and starring in the show. What do you think?” said Jake.
Grover’s jaw dropped to the table.
