Ok, I've NEVER written a fan fic before, but thought I'd take a crack at it. PLEASE be kind in any reviews, I really hope you all like it. I'll be posting a chapter at a time for now.
Synopsis: Bert and Ernie have their worst fight ever and Bert runs away to join the circus. Will Ernie and his friends be able to find him and bring him back home to Sesame Street? This story takes place around the 1980’s, pre-Elmo when David and Olivia were still cast members.
Chapter One:
There was always something going on at Sesame Street. Kids were always swinging on the tire swing. David was always serving up milkshakes at Hooper’s Store. Oscar the Grouch was always telling people to scram and get away from his trash can. Big Bird and Snuffy were always playing with some kids. And down in the basement apartment of 123 Sesame Street, Ernie was always doing something to annoy his roommate Bert. Bert and Ernie were complete opposites, yet still best friends. But everyday, almost like clockwork, the boisterous Ernie would do something that would slightly annoy the anal retentive Bert. Sometimes Ernie would annoy Bert by keeping him up late at night asking him questions or counting sheep out loud. Sometimes he’d annoy Bert by eating the last cookie in the cookie jar, making a mess of his laundry or losing Bert's favorite paper clips or bottle caps. Bert would usually blow up at Ernie, but Ernie always apologized and they would make up and be friends again.
One nice sunny day, Bert decided he wanted to go and get a milkshake from Hooper’s Store. He carefully counted out enough pennies to pay for the milkshake. He’d been thinking about it all week and couldn’t wait to get to Hooper’s Store. Ernie wasn’t home, so Bert decided to go and enjoy his milkshake in peace and quiet by himself. With pennies in hand Bert skipped up the stairs of the apartment and then down the stairs to the street.
Ernie had just agreed to race Grover from Big Bird’s nest to Hooper’s Store. “Ernie, I bet that I, Grover, am faster than you!” said Grover. “Nope, I think I can beat you!” said Ernie. “Ok, on your mark, get set, GO!” yelled Big Bird. Ernie and Grover started running towards Hooper’s Store. Ernie didn’t see Bert skipping down the stairs of the apartment and just as Bert reached the bottom of the stairs, Ernie collided with him. Bert’s pennies went flying everywhere and both of them were knocked to the ground. Grover didn’t see this and kept running to the store. "I win!" he yelled and everyone ran down to congratulate him.
“Bert! Are you ok?” asked Ernie as he stood up. “Ernie! Look what you did, you made me lose all my pennies that I’d saved up all week for a milkshake!!!” Bert shouted angrily. “Bert, I’m really sorry, let me help you pick them up,” said Ernie. “Ernie, you’re always ruining everything I do, you’re such a nuisance!” complained Bert. “I know, you’re right,” said Ernie sadly. Both boys started crawling on the ground looking for the pennies. Meanwhile, Oscar the Grouch had heard everything from down in his trashcan and decided to pop up and stir up a little trouble. He loved it when people didn’t get along. Actually, he hated it, which for a grouch equals love.
“Hey Ernie,” whispered Oscar. Ernie stood up and walked over to the can. “What do you want Oscar, I’m kind of busy right now,” said Ernie. “You shouldn’t let Bert push you around like that. It’s not like it was your fault. You didn’t know he was coming down the stairs,” said Oscar. Meanwhile Bert was still muttering about how annoying and irresponsible Ernie was. “I suppose you might be right,” pondered Ernie. “Are you kidding? Of course I’m right! You should learn to stand up to Bert. Tell him how you really feel,” said Oscar. “You know what? You’re right!” said Ernie, “Hey Bert, it’s not like I knew you’d be coming down the stairs.” “Well, you could’ve watched out front of you a little better. You’re always messing stuff up!” yelled Bert. Ernie looked back at Oscar who shook his hand at him in a “go on” kind of gesture. “You know something Bert, I might be a little clumsy sometimes or a little forgetful and I know I’m messy, but you’re not so perfect either!” yelled Ernie. “Ernie, I’m just tired of these things always happening! You never give me a moments peace” responded Bert who had now also stood up and was facing Ernie. “Well, you know what Bert, if I’m messing up your life so much, maybe you shouldn’t live with me anymore! I thought we were friends but I guess I was wrong. I’m tired of you always getting mad at me. You’re mean Bert!” screamed Ernie. “Ernie, I’m just trying to teach you a little responsibility. You have to be responsible for your actions!” exclaimed Bert. “Well I don’t need you to do that Bert. I mean it, why don’t you just leave!” yelled Ernie. “MAYBE I WILL!” screamed Bert and stomped off toward Hooper Store. “GOOD!” yelled Ernie and stomped off in the other direction. It was amazing that no one had noticed the two friends fighting. The only witness was Oscar who chuckled to himself and disappeared back into his trashcan. “That was a rotten fight. It was great. Heh, heh,” he said. His work was done.
