The Case the Missing Banjo

[Misskermie]

It's 8:30a.m. in the Muppet Theatre, and Kermit the frog is once again, preparing for another busy day. However, this time, he's cancelling certain acts for a special banjo spot he has on the show tomorrow. "The Great Gonzo on next, The Great Gonzo!" Kermit yelled in his call box. Afterwards, Gonzo and Miss Piggy came downstairs. Gonzo went on stage, and Piggy had that face on. The face that Kermit hated. The face that said, "Kermie, let's talk about us." Or, "Why does your breath smell like bacon?" But that's another story. "Kermit, I checked the show schedule for tomorrow, and my dancing recital was replaced by Lew Zealand and his stupid, smelly fish! I thought you said I was going on next!" Kermit decided to explain quickly. "Well Piggy, I have a big banjo recital tomorrow, and I promised Lew I'd give him today to throw his fish, if he promises to never bother me about it again!" Piggy crossed her arms. "Fine!" Piggy then stomped off to her dressing room. That went surprisingly well... Kermit thought.

Jaz walked past Fozzie's dressing room, and heard crying. However, she didn't have the time to stop in and check on him, because she was filling in for scooter, and Jaz was incredibly busy fetching set designs and Guest feedbacks for Kermit. "Here's your set designs, boss." Jaz said. "Thanks Jaz. By the way, I need to cancel your Muppet impersonation act." Kermit said. Jaz just shrugged. "Alright Boss." "And Jaz, You're only filling in for Scooter, you aren't actually Scooter, So please stop calling me Boss." Kermit explained. Jaz blushed. "Sorry boss, er, Kermit!" Jaz then rushed to wardrobe.
Later, as the show was just about to end, Piggy was on her way out the door, but then she heard crying, the same crying Jaz heard. Piggy decided to go against her faux nature, and see what was wrong.
Miss Piggy crept the door open a tiny bit to find Fozzie sitting on his little couch, and crying. "Fozzie, what's the matter?" Piggy asked. "Kermit cancelled my act for the third time, and I'm begining to think he's going to get rid of me!" Fozzie responded with even more tears. "Don't worry Fozzie, I know Kermit. He wouldn't replace you for the world." Piggy assured and sat down with her furry friend. "And besides, my act was cancelled too. It's for some dumb banjo act he's doing." Fozzie just looked down. "Oh well... The frog's got his reasons I guess..." Piggy left Fozzie's dressing room and Fozzie just sat in the middle of his dressing room floor, feeling sorry for himself.

The next day, Kermit woke up to the annoying sound off his alarm clock, then he put on his custom made robe that Miss Piggy got him for his birthday. It said, "Think Green, like me" on the back. Then he went downstairs, got a cup of coffee, took a shower, and drove to the theatre. When he got there, he went to his banjo room and entered it. Then he ran out screaming. "It's gone! It's gone! What happened to it?" "What's gone Kermit?" Gonzo asked. "My banjo! It's missing! It's missing!" Kermit began to lose it and not use any punctuations when he spoke. "IfIdon'tfindmybanjotheshow'sgoingtohavetobecancelledbecausetheschedule'sbeenjackedupformyrecital!" Jaz realized Kermit was in a cucumber...er...Pickle. Yeah, that's it! "Well Kermit, I guess you'll need help from Sherlock Jaz! I'll find your banjo for ya!" Kermit jumped up and hugged her. "Thank you! Uh, are you gonna investigate the crime scene?" Jaz glared at him. "No, Kermit that's silly, detectives don't do that at all!" Jaz said sacastically. Kermit rolled his eyes and dragged her to the door of his banjo room.

"As you can see," Kermit began. "The door already has a passcode thing on it." Jaz was puzzled. "Um...But there's no numbers! It's just piano keys!" Kermit demonstrated by playing the, "On the Muppet show tonight" part of the theme song on the small piano keys, and with it, the door opened. Jaz nodded with a grin in approval. "Very clever buddy." Kermit and Jaz proceeded into the room. "Whoa, dude. What's up with the laser pods everywhere?" Jaz questioned. "The lasers burn whoever touches them when activated, unless you find the hidden button that shuts them off." Kermit explained. "Where's the button?" "Under this picture of Piggy." Kermit responded. Jaz walked further into the room and found three malfuntioning and broken robots. "Where these robots used to protect the banjo cabinet?" Jaz asked. "Yeah. Bunsen made 'em for me. Along with the lasers, and this next fascinating device over here." Kermit walked over to his unlocked banjo cabinet, and pointed out a small computer bolted to the door. "Neat. What's it do?" Jaz once again asked. "It asks me a question that I always know. That's why I'm confused as to why my banjo case is cracked wide open." Kermit said, puzzled. "I see. Well I still have an idea of some suspects. I'll report back if I discover who it is." With that, Jaz left.

A few hours later, Jaz had imprisoned her suspects in her dressing room, and as she held them captive, she dragged each suspect to the the closet, or interrogation room as she calls it. "...Alright, Rowlf, you're clean! Let's see... Bunsen! You're next!" Jaz yelled. Bunsen walked into the closet and sat down in the rather uncomfortable chair. "Bunsen I believe you have the banjo." Jaz concluded. "Why?" "Because every security device in the room that the banjo was once secured in, you created!" Bunsen nodded. "Yes, that's true, but Mr. Kermit may have appointed me to create all of those devices, but I personally advised him to hide his button." Jaz blushed in defeat. "Oh... I'm sorry Dr. Honeydew. While you're out there, can you get me Fozzie?" Jaz tried not to blush. "As long as you don't turn this interrogation room into a make out session." Bunsen snickered as he left the room. Fozzie walked in nervously. "Jaz! I know who did it!" "You know who stole my heart? It's you!" Jaz closed her mouth, blushed and shooed Fozzie out the door. After Fozzie left the closet, Jaz leaned up against the door, and caught her breath. "Detective work is hard..." She said with a huff.

After Jaz recovered from her inerrogation with Fozzie, Jaz scrolled down her list. Beaker was up next. Beaker walked in the closet looking terrified as usual. "So Beaker, what do you know about the robbery of Kermit's banjo?" Jaz asked politely. "Mee Meep Mee mo mo." Beaker explained. "What? Beaker what is 'Mee Mee Mee mo mo?' I don't understand what you're implying!" Beaker became terrified because Jaz was clearly upsetted. Jaz saw his fear, and dissmissed him. "Well that was a waste." Jaz frowned. Then at that moment Gonzo barged through the door and sat down immediately. "Jaz, I have some information regarding the robbery!" Jaz perked up, and took out her note pad. Jaz nodded in confirmation to begin. "Ok, so I was getting up from my bed, and old Muppet show tapes, to get some water, mind you that I was blindfolded." Jaz wrote everything he said, and was not one bit surprised when he said he was blindfolded. He is Gonzo after all! "Yes, continue." Jaz said in a firm tone. " And then when I started to walk downstairs, I heard clicking... Sort of like high heels..." And then Jaz's mind clicked. It had to be the glamour diva herself! Gonzo left the closet and brought back Piggy who seemed to look offended. "Gonzo tells me that he heard high heels last night. As a fellow woman, I happened to remember that you wear them frequently." Jaz said with a sinister look. "So What?" Piggy sassed. "So, you stole Kermit's banjo!" Piggy laughed. "Except your theory is wrong! I can't play the piano!" Piggy then walked out the room. "Drat! How does she even know that there was a piano lock on it? She had to be apart of it... And I'm talking to myself..." Jaz decided to sit there and think long and hard about this dilema.

Kermit, and a lot of other Muppets remain in the theatre near Kermit's desk. All of a sudden, Jaz barges in, and even falls on her face trying to get in the theatre. "Kermit! i know who did it! Here's your banjo!" Kermit recieved his banjo, and he was so grateful to Jaz, he could've kissed her... But he wouldn't 'cause Miss Piggy was there. "So who did it?" Kermit asked. "Well, our culprit is not one, but two people! Our culprits are... Fozzie Bear and Miss Piggy!" Jaz announced. Everyone in the room gasped as the culprits stepped forward. "Piggy... How? Why?" Kermit asked, devestated. "Well Kermie, here's how we did it..."

"Fozzie, how do we open the door?" Piggy asked. "It looks like a piano..." Fozzie explained. Fozzie was thinking about what he could play on the piano. Then all of a sudden, in the distance, he heard a part of the Muppet show theme song. "I've got it!" Fozzie then played the Muppet show theme, and the door became unlocked. Fozzie ran in and stopped right in front of the lasers. "I have to do this again?" Fozzie ran straight into the lasers, and made on the other side. Piggy however, was admiring a picture of herself. When she picked it up, she found a blinking red button, and pressed it. Fozzie was slightly upsetted as the lasers dissapeared. Piggy caught up with Fozzie, and she was face to face with evil menacing robots. Not a problem for the queen of karate. She of course knocked the circuts out of 'em. Fozzie walked past the malnfunctioning robots, and stared in confusion at the small device before him. "What's this?" He asked his companion. "It's a small computer that appears to be working off of a car battery." Piggy said as she examined the small device. Piggy was a exellent computer hacker, as was Scooter, but she was much better at this endevour. Piggy easily opened the computer lock and Fozzie ran out with the banjo.

"I can't believe you would do this! Is this because I cancelled your dumb dance recital?" Piggy could've hit him. Kermit had forgotten what today was. "Well I guess the day you met all of us is a dumb thing huh? My dancing was to commemorate the day you left the swamp, and met me, Fozzie, Gonzo, and all the rest of us! Is that dumb to you?" Kermit froze. Then he looked up at Piggy who was in tears. "Of course that's not dumb to me. That was one of the best days of my life." Jaz was standing by with a camera. "Ok, now say 'Because i met you Piggy. You the best thing that's ever happened to me!' Ok?" Jaz snickered. "Um, how about no?" Kermit said as everyone laughed. "Come on Piggy, let's combine our acts." Later, Piggy and Kermit did their acts together, and the crowd asked for an encore! But Kermit decided to take the gang out for some fun. After all, it's what they were good at right?

THE ENDZ!!!
