The New Student: A Trumpeteer

[LipsGF4Life]

Hey all! I know some of you did a few stories on the Muppets in High School. But none of you added a certian trumpeteer in them. So heres one with him as the new student at Muppet High!



A teen version of Lips just walked in the Muppet High Building. Short, blonde afro, blue squinted eyes, round hot pink nose, short smile. He was wearing a gold and white striped t-shirt, black jeans and maroon red sandals. He looked at his sceduele. Sam's History Class; Room 205.

Lips: (sigh)

He walks up to the door.

Lips: (in a whisper to himself) Here it is. Hopin' this school is nicer to me.

Lips opens the door. And quickly takes a random seat by the door and buries his head inside his History book.

A teen version of Dr.Teeth walks up to him.

Dr.Teeth: Hey, you ok?

Lips: (picks his head up) j-just nervous.....thats all.

Dr.Teeth: Of what?

Lips: Well......man, its my first day.

Dr.Teeth: Let me guess....new kid?

Lips: Uh huh.

Dr.Teeth: Hey, man it ain't so bad starting out fresh in High school. What are you so nervous about?

Lips: I've been home-schooled. Never actually, you know, never been in an actual buildin'.

Dr.Teeth: Really? Huh, never knew you're home-schooled.

Lips: All my life and up to eighth grade. Till' my mom got sick and now my dad is sick. Since' I'm old enough, I get to run my house by myself while my parents are in the hospital.

Dr.Teeth: Man, I am truley sorry to hear about your parents are in the hospital. I guess things are new around ya, eh?

Lips: (nodds) (sighs)

Dr.Teeth: Oh heh, where are my manners? I'm Dr.Teeth.

Lips: I'm Lips. Uh, what kind of doctor are ya?

Dr.Teeth: The music kind, my friend.

Lips: Oh.

Dr.Teeth: Oh, here comes the professer. Listen man, I can't let you sit here by yourself. Theres an extra desk by me. Come on.

Lips: Awsome, thanks.

Lips follows Dr.Teeth to a desk close to the window. Then Sam comes in.

Sam: Alright! Settle down, everyone. Now, before we get started, I see we have a new student. So....

Dr.Teeth: (stands up) His name is Lips, sir. He's just....new to his surroundings. Too shy, ya know?

Sam: Ah I see. Thank you, Teeth, you can sit.

Dr.Teeth: (sits then turns to Lips)

Lips: Thanks.

Dr.Teeth: Your welcome.

Sam: Ahem* Anyway, the Declaration of Independence.....oh nevermind that! We must focus on the lines of buisiness in the future! Of Americans!

Dr.Teeth: (whispers to Lips) Here we go again...
____________________________________________________________

Later that day.....
____________________________________________________________

Walking down the crowded hallway.....

Dr.Teeth: Lips, you comin?

Lips: Hmm? Oh yeah, sorry. Got distracted.

Dr.Teeth: What were you looking at anyway?

Lips: Oh nothing. Just....a....augh, nevermind. Where to next?

Dr.Teeth: Lunch man, duh.

Lips: Oh, good thing I packed.

Dr.Teeth: Yeah, me too. Not really a fan of the chef's specialty.

------
Walk into the room and sat closer to the door.

Dr.Teeth: Hey there they are.

Lips: (turns back and fourth) Who?

Dr.Teeth: Oh sorry, forgot to tell you. See, I have a band. We're pretty close than ya think.

Lips: Oh.

Dr.Teeth: Yeah. Here they come.

A group comes toward the two, Teen versions of the rest of the band. Floyd wearing a plain, red t-shirt; purple jeans; brown boots. Janice wearing a tye-dye mini dress; hot pink leggins; white heals. Zoot wearing a plain gold t-shirt; brown leather jeans; white jacket; black sandals. And Animal wearing a black t-shirt; brown teared up vest; white teared up jeans; black tennyshoes.

Dr.Teeth: Hey gang. Floyd, my man, I didn't see you in gym. Where were you?

Floyd: Man, my sceduele got switched. I had to be in Spanish. Man, thats a pain.

Janice: Fer sure.

Dr.Teeth: Oh.

Floyd: Anywho, back to buisiness, whos the dude next to ya?

Dr.Teeth: Hmm? Oh! Sorry, guys, this here is Lips. He's new to the school.

Floyd: Nice to meet ya, Lips.

Janice: Like yeah.

Zoot: Hey, not to be chip off the ol' block or anythin' but this guy looks familiar.

Dr.Teeth: Heh?

Zoot: See, I saw this moving van next door to my house the other day.

Lips: Yeah. T-that was me.

Zoot: Oh yeah! Welcome to the neighberhood, man. My mom told me 'bout ya. She went to meet you.

Lips: Oh yeah! She seems pretty nice.

Zoot: Yeah. Way too nice.

Janice: So like, Lips. Any other girl you're in?

Floyd: Jan!??

Janice: Sorry, just curious.

Lips: Well now that you're thinkin' about it. There was this girl I saw earlier. She seems pretty cute.

Animal: Who?

Lips: (stops and looks at Animal and steps back)

Floyd: Sorry bout' that, thats Animal. He wont hurt ya. You were sayin?

Lips: Uh right, anyway, this chick, had a trumbone case. I just adore girls who play with a horn.

Janice: Delores? Oh right, I know her! Did you like, talk to her at all?

Lips: (shakes his head) No. I-I never saw a girl like this before. I just don't know what to do.

Dr.Teeth: Lips, here was home schooled. Its his first time with this whole high school deelio.

Floyd: Really?

Lips: (nodds)

Zoot: Man, I've been through the whole home-school thing.

Lips: Really? How long?

Zoot: Up too....fifth grade.

Lips: Oh.

Dr.Teeth: Back to business. You guys ready to rehearse later?

Everyone: Totally!!

Floyd: Eh Lips? You wanna come later and hear us play?
Lips: Sure! I'm up for it.

Zoot: You need a ride or somethin' for the ride home?

Lips: Uh, no its ok. I'll walk home after school.

Zoot: Gotcha.

A teen version of Delores walks by.

Delores: Hey guys. I'll be here after school to watch.

Janice: Awsome.

Delores: C-ya.

Delores walks off. Lips sighs.

Lips: That was her.....shes so beautiful.

Floyd: Right........

___________________________________________________________
After School.....in the auditoriom......
___________________________________________________________

Lips hears loud music being played. He opens the door to find the band playing and Delores sitting in one of the auditorium chairs.

Lips: (sighs)

Zoot looks up.

Zoot: Hold up! Lips is here!

Music stops, Delores turns her head to see Lips' beautiful face.

Delores: Oh my....he...hes.....handsome......

Lips walks down the isale with his bookbag one hand and his trumpet case in one hand.

Lips: Hey, came like I said.

Dr.Teeth: Good, good. What up with that case?

Lips: Oh, I play trumpet a li'l. I thought of bringing it.

Zoot: Man, I never knew you'd play brass.

Janice: Like duh. Can we like, hear you play?

Lips: I dunno, I never performed before.

Floyd: Man, come on.

Lips: (sighs) Oh ok. Maybe just a couple of notes.

Lips takes out his trumpet and plays 'Free' by Crush 40. Hears a bunch of applauses.

Lipsgasps for breath) Thank you.

Dr.Teeth: You are very good, my friend.

Zoot: We could use someone like you.

Floyd: Guys, we'll make the decision at Zoot's place later on. (turns to LIps) Man, take a seat. And be enjoyed by our funky rythem and music.

Lips takes a seat next to Delores.

Delores: Hi.

Lips: (turns to see Delores's beautiful face.) Oh....uh...hi.

Delores: I'm Delores. You must be....Leo?

Lips: (starts to laugh) Lips. Nice to meet you.

Delores: Janice told me about you. You sound so interesting. You play pretty good.

Lips: Thanks.
___________________________________________________________
Later on...
___________________________________________________________

Zoot: You sure you don't need a lift? Our whole street is only a few miles away.

Lips: I'm sure. Besides, I walked to school today, anyway.

Zoot: Suite yourself. Watch out for the 'Hitsters Gang. They live close to the neighborhood.

Lips: Got it.
--------------------------------------
As Lips was getting closer to his house. He was passing by a old, run down house where about six boys were playing basketball in the driveway. They turn to see Lips walking down the sidewalk. Lips just ignores them and just walks faster. Then the boys just follow him.
--------------------------------------

One boy: Hey You!

Lips: (turns to see the six boys right behind him) Y-y-yes?

Another boy: Why are you out here by yourself?

Lips: Cause' I want to. (takes a deep breath) Now if you excuse me.

Lips starts to walk off until one of the boys grabbed him, threw his books on the ground and pushed Lips to the ground hard.

Lips: What was that for, man?

One boy: You ain't goin' nowhere.

Lips tries to pull himself up and three boys push him down harder.

Lips: (in pain) Stop! Can't you just leave me alone!!!!????

One boy: Listen jerk, we don't do that kind of stuff. Now don't move.

That boy and the other two boys started punching Lips very hard. Until a group of Muppets stop the incident. It was the band.

Floyd: Man, stop hurting our friend!

Dr.Teeth: Feed them to Animal.

Floyd: Go get them, Animal! ATTACK!

Animal: ATTACK! ATTACK! BAD MEN! BAD MEN!

Animal starts to attack the boys while the rest of the band quickly gets Lips's stuff, his smashed cellphone, and Lips himself, off the ground. After Lips was in the car, Janice observed him.

Janice: He like, doesn't look rully good.

Zoot: (sighs at Lips) That was them, man, the Hitsters. They're the bad dudes on this path.

Lips: No kiddin'.

Dr.Teeth: Don't you worry Lips, we're just headin' to Zoot's place.

Zoot: Yeah, both my mom and dad are doctors. They'll help ya.

Lips: (nodds and rubs his briuses.) Augh.

Floyd: Its ok, man. You just didn't know. (turns to Animal) LETS GO ANIMAL!

Animal: Oh, Ok!!!

-------
Driven home; Lips hurt and confused.

Theres more tomorrow!

 

[Twisted Tails]

This is like very groovy LeahXZoor4Evur! I LOVE Dr Teeth & the Electric Mayhem! More please!

 

[LipsGF4Life]

Heres Part 2! Srry bout' the wait!
___________________________________________________
Dr.Teeth drives the whole way back to Lips and Zoot's neighborhood after the Hitsters' incident. Lips was super sore and hurt, he was in tears a little. He was lucky that the band was with him to comfort him. Now, read on.....
____________________________________________________

(The Car drives on.......Lips moans in pain quietly; The rest of the guys comfort him.)

Janice: (rubs Lips' back) Like, how much farther, Teeth?

Dr.Teeth: Almost there. How're you feelin', Lips?

Lips: (shrugs) Still in pain....

Floyd: You're gonna be fine, man.

Lips: I hope so....

____________________________________________________
A minute later...
____________________________________________________

(The car pulls in Zoot's driveway...)

Zoot: (turns to Lips) Hey, we're here. Don't you worry, my mom and pop will take care of ya.

Lips: (nodds)

(Floyd, Animal and Dr.Teeth help Lips out of the car, Janice takes Lips' backpack and his broken cellphone while Zoot takes out his house keys and head for the front door.)

(The door opens; Floyd, Animal and Dr.Teeth help Lips inside...)

Zoot: Mom! Dad! I'm home!

(A 48 year old female muppet walks in along with her 50 year old husband. {they look sort of like Leah and Zoot....but Zoot's mom looks like Leah a little. The only difference is the age})

Mrs. Simms: Zoot, I see you brought your friends here.

Mr. Simms: Yes and(looks at Lips)....hey, isn't that our neighbor?

Zoot: Yeah, remember when I told ya about the Histers' Gang?

Mrs.Simms: Oh dear, yes. Why?

Janice: Like, they hurted Lips just an hour ago.

Zoot: Can you see if they broke somethin' of him?

Mr and Mrs. Simms exchange looks...

Mrs. Simms: Oh, of course we will.

Mr. Simms: Yes, son, you and your friends settle downstairs in the basement while your mother and I handle Lips.

(Floyd laid Lips on the couch and the band left downstairs. Which left Lips, Mrs. Simms, and Mr.Simms alone.)

Mrs. Simms: Now Lips, you just relax. Everything will be fine.

Lips: Oh, I hope so, Mrs. Simms. Just when my first day of school was a li'l ok and then the Hitsters showed up.

Mr. Simms: Don't worry. I'll get you an ice pack.

Mrs. Simms: Do you want me to tell your parents you're here?

Lips: (shakes his head sadly.) Nah, I never told you two this when I first met you. My parent are sick and they're in the hospital. I own the house.

Mrs. Simms: (gasps) It must've been so hard.

Lips: (nodds) It is.

Mr.Simms: (comes back with a first aid kit, 3 ice packs and a cup of rasberry ice tea.) Here Lips, (hands Lips the ice tea) just take a few sips.

Lips: (nodds; takes a few sips; hands the cup to Mr. Simms to be placed on the coffee table; Lips then feels a sharp pain in his ankle.) Ahhughhhh!!

Mrs. Simms: Lips? Are you ok? Whats wrong?

Lips: My ankle!.......

Mr. Simms: Put a ice pack on it, April.

Mrs. Simms: (nodds and places an ice pack on Lips' ankle.)
_____________________________________________________
Meanwhile....in the basement.......
_____________________________________________________

Janice: I just told Delores what happened.

Dr.Teeth: And?

Janice: She sent me a worried look. Oh, she must've like, been rully worried! Poor Delores, poor Lips.....

Floyd: Janice....calm down....I'm sure Lips is gonna be fine.

Zoot: Yeah man, besides, my parents are professionals.

(The gang heard a door open and Mrs. Simms comes down with a tray of cheese and pepperoni pizza rolls and 6 glasses of Pepsi.)

Mrs.Simms: I knew you all would get hungry.

Zoot: Thanks mom. Hows Lips?

Mrs. Simms: Oh, he's fine. Just some cuts and briuses. He does have a really bad ankle.

Floyd: Woah, did he brake it?

Mrs. Simms: No, he twisted it. Its really bugging him.

All band members: (gasp)

Janice: Again, like, poor Lips...

Dr.Teeth: I agree.

Zoot: Can we see him?

Mrs. Simms: Yes, your father and I will bring him down. By the way, did the Hitsters' damage Lips' belongings?

Dr.Teeth: (nodds) Yeah, its only his cellphone. Man, those guys must've damaged his phone pretty good.

Mrs. Simms: Ok. Just be careful around Lips.

Floyd: Don't worry Mrs. Simms, we'll be gentle.

Mrs. Simms: (nodds and heads upstairs to join her husband on bringing Lips downstairs.)

(One step at a time, Mr and Mrs. Simms was carrying Lips downstairs gently. His cuts were covered with bandages, a black eye was shown on his face, and Lips' ankle was covered in a cast.)

Floyd: Hey buddy, how're ya feelin' now?

Lips: Just a li'l better.

Zoot: Good. (turns to Mrs. Simms) Mom, is it ok if the band and Lips spend the night?

Mrs.Simms: Go ahead. If you all need me, we'll be upstairs.

Zoot: K' mom.

(Mrs and Mr. Simms leave the room)

Dr.Teeth: (to Lips) Well Lips, I guess you're gonna be alright.

Lips: (nodds)

(Zoot grabs a bunch of pillows and blankets from a nearby closet. He places Lips on the couch. He puts one pillow for his head and one for his ankle. Then gave him a blanket or two. The rest are on the floor where the band will sleep.)

Zoot: (to Lips) If you feel anymore sharp pain, wake me up. K'?

Lips: (nodded)

Zoot: Alright, goodnight.

Lips: G'night.
_______________________________________________________

Everyone was asleep and so was Lips, it was anything but peaceful.

[LipsGF4Life]

Srry bout' missin' this fer a while....ok that didn't make any sense. Oh well, anyway, heres part 3!
________________________________________________________
The next morning was a bright Saturday day. Lips was still sound asleep at the same position he slept in last night. Zoot woke up first then the rest of the guys woke up. Leaving Lips sleeping.
________________________________________________________

Zoot: Mornin' guys.

Janice: Like, morning....

Floyd: I guess that leaves only one person who wants to sleep in.

(everyone looks at the sleeping Lips)

Dr.Teeth: Least, he didn't say that anythin' was in pain last night....he sure does look ok to me...

Janice: I agree.

Zoot: Let him sleep.

Floyd: Good idea. I'll stay down here and watch him. Just in case if he wakes up and he needs help upstairs.

(Everyone nodds. Zoot, Janice, Dr.Teeth and Animal headed upstairs, leaving Floyd downstairs watching Lips.)

(An hour later....Lips starts waking up)

Lips: (moans)

Floyd: (turning to Lips) Mornin' sleepy head. How'd you sleep?

Lips: Good...(looks sideways) Wheres everyone?

Floyd: They're upstairs. I stayed down here and kept an eye on ya so when you woke up, I'd help you upstairs.

Lips: (smiles)

Floyd: So, you hungry or what?

Lips: You know it.

Floyd: Good. I am too. Lets head upstairs.

(Floyd helps Lips off the couch and up the stairs.)
_______________________________________________________
The Band was upstairs. With the thought of Zoot's parents still sleeping, Zoot had to make the pancakes himself.
_______________________________________________________
Janice: Like, you're good at this Zoot.

Floyd: I agree.

Zoot: Thanks.

Srry....this is short....workin' and stuff....ENJOY!
I'll have Part 3.2 up soon!

 

[LipsGF4Life]

Finishin' off part 3!

_________________________________

Floyd comes up the stairs of the basement, with Lips, hanging on Floyd's shoulder and his bandaged arm drooped across both of Floyd's shoulders. Janice first takes notice.
_________________________________

Janice: Hey Lips. Like, how're you feelin'?

Lips: .....still sore...but, I'm ok.

Floyd: Let me guess, Zoot's makin' breakfast?

Janice: Fer sure.

Dr.Teeth: He's pretty good. (turns to Zoot) Man, maybe you should take next to the chef in the cafeteria in school.

Zoot: (turns in laughing at outrage) Not happenin'. Even though I'm great at this cooking stuff, I'm still keepin' my sax as my ax.

Floyd: I agree with the saxman, here. (turns to Dr.Teeth) Hey man, help me will ya?

Dr.Teeth: Yeah, sure.

Both Floyd and Dr.Teeth helped Lips in one of the chairs. Suddenly, Janice remembered something.

Janice: Guys, like, have you all gotten dates yet?

Floyd: Not yet, mama. At least I got you as mine.

Janice: (blushes)

Lips: Dates? For what?

Zoot: See, there's this dance comin' up soon. In a....uh...couple weeks...right doc?

Dr.Teeth: (chuckles) Correct. It's just a freshman dance. I'm takin' this girl in my Chemistry Class, Bethany. She's positivly cute!

Zoot: I'm takin' Kelly. She's a star on my book...well, you know.

Floyd: Animal's takin' some girl named, Mileka. I think she's in his Algerbra class.

Janice: Well, me and Floyd are like, goin' together.

Floyd: Can't wait for our slow-dance, baby.

Lips: (confused)......uh....

(Everyone stares at him)

Dr.Teeth: Didn't you have dances while you were home-schooled, Lips?

Lips: Depends, does dancing with your cousin at weddings count?

Floyd: Eh....no affense, but no. Good one, though.

Lips: Oh, then uh, no. I-uh...I haven't.

Janice: Like, you should take Delores.

Lips: (eyes widened) I-I dunno....

Zoot: Man, before you make a decision, I-uh, think...

Janice: I told Delores what happened yesterday....

Lips: You did?

Dr.Teeth: She seemed pretty worried about ya.

Lips: (thinks for a minute) .....Ok....I'll ask her....only if you guys help me think of some ways to ask her out.

Floyd: Sure, man, sure.

Janice: Like, yeah. We'll 'fer sure' help you.

Lips: (smiles) Thanks. I'll do it.

Everyone smiles at Lips.
_________________________________
On Monday morning...
_________________________________

Lips walks down the hallway, in crutches. Zoot was carrying his books and Janice was carrying his trumpet case to Lips' locker.

Lips: Thanks again for helpin' me with my stuff, guys. I appreciated it.

Zoot: No probs, man.

(Delores walks down the hallway)

Janice: Ooh, like, here she comes! You know what to do, right?

Lips: I-uh...guess so.

Zoot: Go n' get her, Lips. Good luck!

Lips walks over to Delores.

Delores: Lips! You're back!

Lips: Yep.

Delores: How're you feelin' now?

Lips: Just a little better. Hey uh...while I'm here. Can I-uh, ask you somethin'?

Delores: Sure! What is it?

Lips: (sweats) This isn't what I usually do....at all, I mean.

Delores: Whatever it is, I'm sure I'll agree.

Lips: Delores, will you be my girl to the dance?

Delores: (gasps)

Lips: What? D-did I say something wrong?

Delores: No...no. Its just that, I've been waiting for you to ask. It's guys ask girls....no other man would ask me. Until now.

Lips: Really?

Delores: Yeah. I'll pick you up, ok?

Lips: Alright. I'm sure Jan can give you my adress.

Delores: Oh no need. I've been at Zoot's place before. I know you're on the house on the right of his.

Lips: Oh. Then, uh. I guess that you and I are goin', right?

Delores: Yeah.

(honk of a car horn)

Delores: Oh, there's my mom. I can't wait to tell her the news. (to Lips) Oh and uh, I'll see you tomorrow, Lips.

(Delores kisses Lips on the cheek)

Lips:.........(blushes).........yeah,.................uh.............ok, uh........Cya...............

Delores leaves to her mom's car, leaving Lips, blushing and smiling as the car was driven away. Janice and Zoot walk to Lips, with Lips' backpack all packed up.

Janice: So, what did she say?

Lips:.....yes.......

Zoot: Nice man! Proud of ya!

Lips: Thanks. Uh, can you guys drive me home?

Janice: Like, fer sure! C'mon, like, let's go find Dr.Teeth.

_____________________________________________
As the 3 look for Dr.Teeth, Lips was still blushed after that first-kiss-on-the-cheek from Delores. He thought about her day after day. He couldn't wait to get that ankle-cast off and to go on that dance with Delores.

Dr.Teeth wore a red long sleeved shirt, a brown vest overtop, a black coat over the whole thing, and a red bowtie. Floyd wore (his outfit from 'Muppets take Manhatten), Janice wore a hot pink mini-dress with a guitar necklace and her black leather jacket, Animal wore (similar to his orchestra tux but brown), Zoot wore (what he wore in 'Great Muppet Caper'), and Lips wore his brown tiled jacket with matching pants, a light pink, long-sleeved shirt under it, and had a corsage in hand to give to Delores) ___________________________________________________________ Lips: Well? Whaddya think? (shows off his outfit) Zoot: You look great! Janice: Like, Delores will totally adore it! Lips: Thanks guys. (Then, the gang goes to Delores' house and picks her up. Delores wore a long, purple, strapless dress. THIS IS ON THE WAY OVER TO THE PARTY!) Lips: Delores? Delores: Hmm? Lips: You look great! Delores: Thanks! So do you! You look pretty handsome. Lips: (blushes) Thank you...(looks at corsage) Oh uh, here, (hands corsage to Delores) Got this for ya. Delores: Oh Lips! It's beautiful! (As the band arrives to the high school dance. Dr.Teeth, Zoot, and Animal's dates met them there. Delores and Lips had a great time. Until a slow song came on. The song, 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight' by Elton John comes on.) Lips: (becomes gentleman and holds out hand) Wanna dance? Delores: (giggles) Of course! (takes Lips' hand and he led her to the dancefloor) (Lips and Delores danced beautifully.) Delores: Having a good time, Lips? Lips: Yeah. Ya know, to be honest with ya Delores....this is actually my first dance..... Delores: You never had dances before in your old schools? Lips: No, I was home-schooled. Never had dances in my life.... Delores: Oh well, now I can make it your first... Lips: (giggles) Hey uh, remember that kiss-on-the-cheek you gave me earlier this week? Delores: ummmm....Oh yeah! Why? Lips: This. (supposed to kiss her cheek but accidently kisses her lips instead) (kiss embraced) Lips: (turns red) Delores: (blushes) Lips: I-I met to aim at your cheek...I'm sorry.... Delores: No No! Lips, you did fine...(hugs Lips tighter) (Delores and Lips kept dancing that night. Delores ended up spending the night at Lips' house.) Lips' first dance became great, but more challenges will face him soon........................ PART 5 soon! By the way, if the comments thing messes up....I apologize for that.
