Ron: *prances up to Norm and Grim* Hello, everyone! And how are we on this joyous day?

Norm: Oh, I don't know, why don't you look for yourself!?

Grim: Where have you been, Ronald?

Ron: *sighs contently* With my Angel of Music...

*Norm and Grim look at each other, worried*

Ron: She's wonderful. Her singing voice is marvelous, her figure is unmatched! And the way she plays her guitar... Oh, she's hot!

Norm: Not another one of your celebrity crushes, Ron! And on a puppet, too!

Desiree: *comes towards the group* Have you guys seen the rest of the Mayhem group or our house band?

Norm: Why don't you ask Blondie here--

Grim: What seems to be the trouble, Desiree? You look tense?

Desiree: Besides the chaos? We're short one go-fer: Skeeter.

Norm: Scooter's sister?

Desiree: I got a call from her a minute ago. Her car broke down and she doesn't know if they'll repair it in time.

Norm: Just what we needed: more problems.

((OOC: Skeeter appeared on "Muppet Babies" as Scooter's twin sister. In most of the Muppet fanfiction that I've read, she has been given and adult form and a boyfriend: Clifford. Just to clear up some confusion you guys might have.))

Ember: I do not care what you think: This is my dressing room!

Piggy: Well, you obviously heard wrong. This is moi's dressing room. *angrier* Deal with it!

Ember: That's back at the Muppet Theater!

Piggy: Oh, yeah?

Ember: Yeah!

Piggy: Huh!?

Ember: Huh!?

Piggy: Huh!?

Ember: Huh!?

Piggy: That does it!

Both: HII-YAA!! *engage into a karate battle*

(Kermit and Clay run in on Ember and Miss Piggy's fight)

Kermit: Ember! Piggy! Please stop! You're going to ruin this theater before we even start the show!

Clay: That is, unless Zim beats them to it.

Kermit: What do you mean by- (sees Zim chasing the Four Stooges around with a flamethrower)

Zim: You are all mine now, foolish mortals! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Kermit: Oh no! How are we ever going to stop this madness?!

(Edd and Scooter come in, completely out of breath)

Ember: Oh, what now?

Scooter: (trying to get a breath) (holds up clipboard, then points at watch)

(the two go-fers collapse)

Clay: Please tell me that didn't mean "15 seconds to curtain"!

Piggy: It better not mean that!

Ami: (enters) Have you guys seen the rest of the Mayhem or our band? The last time Yumi and I saw Janice was some odd minutes ago.

Kermit: What?! They're missing?!

Clay: Could things get any more frustrating?!

(Gonzo and Spongebob enter)

Gonzo: Hey you guys! Spongebob and I are ready for our act!

Kermit: Tell me you guys at least practiced once?

Spongebob: Hahahahaha! Who needs to practice? We're professionals!

Clay: No you're not!

Gonzo: Sure we are! We just have a lot of bad luck, that's all.

Kermit: Sheesh...

Clay: Well, what are we going to do?

Ami: Why don't you ask Grim, Desiree and Norm to clean things up for the show?

Clay: Well, that might work. That is, if they're not enjoying this...

(said people enter)

Norm: I've had it, Bailey!

Clay: What'd I tell you guys?

Desiree: There is no way you expect us to calm down all of this chaos!

Grim: We can only do so much!

Desiree: You owe us a vacation, Frog!

Kermit: What did I do?

Desiree: (takes a deep breath) Sorry, didn't mean you, Kermit.

Kermit: Speaking of getting things done... (glances at Edd and Scooter, still unconsious on the floor)

Norm: Ouch.

Kermit: Where's the others?

Norm: Last time I saw Clifford, he was leaving to go pick up Skeeter.

Kermit: Why--

Desiree: Her car broke down.

Clay: Great. Two of the go-fers are knocked out, one's still not here, both bands are missing, and hardly anyone's prepared for anything!

Ember: As if things couldn't get worse...

(Ron dances by, vocalizing to "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes")

Grim: I think you forgot to add that Ron's lovesick.

(Jojo comes in)

Kermit: Oh, hi Jojo. Listen, have you seen the mayhem band around?

Jojo: *shakes head*

Clay: Well, do you know anyone who could stop Zim from setting fire to everything?

Jojo: *shrugs*

Kermit: Can you at least tell Gonzo and Spongebob that they're performance is going to wait until we get everything under control?

Jojo: Alright. *walks off to find Gonzo and Spongebob, who just so happen to be getting into a cannon*

Spongebob: Gee, Gonzo. I can hardly believe that I'm going to do a stunt with you!

Gonzo: Yeah, me neither. I don't think I've ever worked with a sponge before.

Jojo: Oh no!

(as a homage to the classic Disney movie, Ron dances with Grim while vocalizing to "Once Upon A Dream")

Grim: O_o

Norm: Allow me. *pours water on Ron*

Ron: *blinks* Where am I?

Norm: Animation Theater?

Ron: This is not Sesame Street?

Kermit: Not that joke again...

Ember: Lovesick, huh?

Ron: How did you know?

Grim: Just a guess...

(Rowlf walks in)

Rowlf: Hey guys. Have you seen--?

Kermit: No, Rowlf, we haven't seen the bands anywhere.

Rowlf: Oh. I was actually going to ask where a piano is.

Ember: Backstage, to the right, it's in the practice area. ... At least, that's where it was last.

(Jojo walks back in)

Jojo: Um, guys? We've got a problem.

Grim: Another one?

Kermit: Well what is it this time?

Jojo: Remember when you told me to tell Gonzo and Spongebob to not start their stunt until everything's under control?

Clay: Yes.

Jojo: Well, with all the noise they thought I was telling them to start their stunt, so-

Ember: Oh, don't tell me...

(All the sudden the cannon goes off and Gonzo and Spongebob fly out, but they completely miss the tightrope and they both crash through the wall, causing two holes in the wall shaped like them)

Kermit, Clay, Piggy, Ember, Norm, Grim, Ron, Desiree, Jojo and Rowlf: OoO

Grim: Well, there goes our stunt show.

Norm: Oh brother...

Desiree: ... I'll try to revive Double D and Scooter. *picks them up and carries them to a couch*

Rowlf: I'd say that they went... about a couple of miles from here. Gonzo doesn't usually land that far fro the theater.

Jojo: *looks at the holes* Well, there goes the little sanity we had left.

Clay: There goes a good portion of the show...

Beauregard: *walks by pushing a custodian cart, which has more tools on it than usual...*

Ember: There goes the band...

Ron: *gasps* *turns around to the custodian cart* Oh my god! They turned the band into inanimate objects! *grabs a mop* Janice!? Speak to me, baby! Are you all right!?

Piggy: Ronald, that's just a mop!

Ron: No, it's not! She's a very delicate creature...

*two hands slap Ron in the face*

Ron: *sort of dazed* ... I needed that...

Grim: Indeed, you did. *to Norm:* Give me back my arm. Now.

Norm: ... *slaps the skeleton with his own hand* Stop hitting yourself. *gives the skeleton back his limbs*

Grim: That wasn't funny, Norm!

Norm: For me it was!

Fozzie: Well, now what are we gonna do, Kermit?

Ember: Yeah! Our two stuntcreatures are gone, two of our go-fers passed out, half the stage is on fire, both bands are gone, one go-fer's car broke down, and Ron's sanity is only half there!

Kermit: I'm thinking! I'm thinking!

(Nigel walks in)

Nigel: Um, you guys do know that the little green guy with weirdo eyes is threatening to set the audience on fire, right?

Piggy: What?! You mean that little green twerp is threatening my, I mean, our fans?!

Nigel: Well, at least that's what it sound like.

Piggy: That's it! Nobody messes with the adoring fans of Miss Piggy and gets away with it! *storms off and sneaks behind Zim, who is threatening the audience*

Zim: MUAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU WORTHLESS HUMANS SHALL ALL BOW BEFORE ME!

(from behind the curtain, Grim, Norm, Desiree, Ron, Kermit, Fozzie, Clay, Ember, Jojo and Rowlf all watch)

Grim: Oh, Zim's really in for it now!

Ember: Yeah! I bet he goes flying out of the theater just like Boris did!

Kermit: What do you mean "just like Boris did"?

Ember: Well, after Boris sent her a phony letter, I beat him up a little, but when I told Miss Piggy, she-

Piggy: Hi-Ya! *Piggy Hi-Yas Zim right out of the theater*

Ember: Did that.

Clay: Oh! That must've been the 'pre-show act' that Spongebob and Gonzo were talking about.

(Miles away, Zim crash lands into a garbage can)

Zim: *rubs head* Oh, the humiliation. Being beaten by a pig.

(Boris comes out ot the trash can next to him)

Boris: You too, huh?

Zim: o_O

(Suddenly Oscar the Grouch comes out of another trash can nearby)

Oscar: *unenthusiastically:* Oh great. New neighbors. *goes back into trash can*

Boris and Zim: O_O

(Desiree comes back in, wearing her nurse's outfit from the "Un-General Hospital" sketch)

Desiree: What'd I miss?

Ember: Our show's equivalent to Crazy Harry being karate-chopped out of the theater.

Desiree: Oh.

Kermit: So, how are they?

Desiree: I can't get a response from either of them. It's probably going to take a full team of doctors to revive the two.

Jojo: I'll go help Nigel with the music arrangements. *goes to the orchestra pit*

Ember: Piggy doesn't want to be bothered into doing it, and neither do I. I'm gonna go look for the bands. *leaves to do so*

Clay: That leaves the rest of us to...

Kermit: Figure out where this show will be going.

Clay: Yeah... *he and Kermit leave to discuss the matter*

Ron: *thinks of something* Hey guys, can me and Fozzie do a comedy routine in tonight's show?

(Fozzie and Ron follow the two, leaving Desiree, Norm, and Rowlf to "operate")

Rowlf: I guess that means we'll have to take care of Scooter and Edd.

Desiree: Right. *snaps fingers*

(the remaining "Un-General/Vet's Hospital" members have their costumes on)

Norm: So, where's the operation room?

(Ty Lee, clad in her nurse outfit, pokes her head out of the guest star's usual dressing room)

Ty Lee: Desiree, hurry! I don't know how much longer they can last!

Desiree: We're on our way.

(the group of Desiree, Norm and Rowlf make their way up to the dressing room)

(Ami and Yumi enter in the area where everyone was previosly gathered)

Ami: ... *in Janice's voice:* Wow, like, the show's going downhill from here, y'know?

Yumi: *also in Janice's voice:* Fer sure. I mean, the show's been in tight spots before, but never like this.

Ami: ... *in Janice's voice:* Why does it feel like--

Yumi: *in Janice's voice:* You know, like I'm speaking through--

Both: *in Janice's voice:* Two totally different people?

Ami: *gasps* *in Janice's voice:* Like, wow, I AM speaking through two totally different people!

Yumi: *in Janice's voice:* Wow, this is, like, a real bummer, fer sure!

Stitch: *crawling on the ceiling* *in Animal's voice:* CEILING! EAT CEILING! *starts to do so*

*Riku and Ash run in*

Ash: *in Floyd's voice:* Animal!

Riku: *in Floyd's voice:* Down, Animal!

Ami & Yumi: *turn their head in Riku and Ash's direction* *in Janice's voice:* Floyd?

Stitch: *in Animal's voice:* DOWN! *falls off the ceiling*

*a crash can be heard and a small crater has formed where Stitch landed*

Ash: ... *in Floyd's voice:* Well, I suppose that's one way of getin' him down.

Riku: *nods* *in Floyd's voice:* Very smashing enterance.

Both: *in Floyd's voice:* *laugh*

Zoot: *wakes up with a start* *in Patrick's voice:* Bugga! LEDER-HOOSUM! *looks around* ... *goes back to sleep*

((Yeah, the bands have switched bodies. Ami & Yumi with Janice, Riku & Ash with Floyd, Stitch with Animal, Patrick with Zoot, and Sunny Bridges with Dr. Teeth. Hope that explains a lot.))

(Animal tries licking the inside of his nose with his tongue)

Grim: Wait. What's goin' on here? Are you Animal, or are you Stitch?

Animal: *in Stitch's voice:* Me-ga hungry!

Grim: You're Stitch alright. Now wait a minute, how did this happen? You didn't get into my suitcase, did you?

Animal: *in Stitch's voice:* Um, ih?

Grim: And what all did you touch when you were looking in there?

Animal: *shows Grim a pearl-like crystal ball*

Grim: The crystal ball from beyond?! Ah crud! We've got to get everybody together and fast! Let's see. We still need Janice, Floyd, Dr. Teeth, Sunny Bridges and Patrick. Now do ya know where they are?

Animal: *still in Stitch's voice:* Lunch.

Grim: Lunch?! Where are they having lunch?!

Animal: *still in Stitch's voice:* Krusty Krab.

Grim: The Krusty Krab?! Gah! Well, I'd better go get them. Meanwhile, I want you and, er, Animal, to keep everyone who is here, here. Ya got that?

Animal: *still as you-know-who:* Ih!

Grim: Good. Then I'm off. *heads off for the Krusty Krab*

(meanwhile, in the guest star's dressing room, two shock machines are hooked up)

Norm: *holding a pair of shock plates* You ready?

Rowlf: *holding the other pair* I... guess so.

Norm: Okay, on three.

Rowlf: Okay.

Norm: One...

Rowlf: Two...

Both: Clear!

(the shock plates touch their patients)

Scooter & Edd: *sit upright on the operating table with a start* Fifteen seconds to curtain, Miss Uggams/Bei Fong!

Desiree: Wow, it actually worked!

Ty Lee: Dee-dee! *hugs Edd* I was so worried about you! *cries tears of happiness*

Edd: *is hugged by Ty Lee* Nice to see you, as well?

Scooter: *rubs head* What happened? All I remember was me, Edd and some others being chaed by Zim. Then, Edd and I went up to Clay and Kermit... then nothing.

Rowlf: Don't worry. I think you two just passed out from exhaustion.

Desiree: You had us worried there.

Scooter: Yeah, I suppose... Wait! What about--

Desiree: Don't worry about your sister. Her car broke down on the way to the theater and Clifford's going to ive her a ride here.

Scooter: That's a relief.

Should we include Robocop for a guest appearence for season 3?

Okay. Let's do that.

Ron: *in a tuxedo, clinging to Grim's robe* Please let me go with you!

Grim: *trying to shake him off* No!

Ron: Please?

Grim: No!

Ron: Oh, come on! It's possibly the only chance that I'll ever get to see the love of my life...

Grim: ... *sighs* Ya really like Janice so much? ... Okay, you can come.

Ron: *stands up* Boo-ya!

Grim: *to self* Didn't want to tell him that the actual girl is stuck in the bodies of two Japanese rock stars...

Ember: *enters in a black dress (the dress is sparkly)* *apparently, she's practicing for a song later in the show* You said you would love me long

Never would do me wrong

And faithful you'd always be

Ron: Hey, I know that song! Baby, you must be looney to trust

A lower-than low two-timer like me

Ember: *paying no attention to Ron (she has headphones on...)* You said that I'd have everything

A beautiful diamond ring

Grim: I can't believe this... She's actually putting her soul into something...

Ember: A bungalow by the sea

Grim: Almost like she actually loved him.

Ron: You're really naive to ever believe

A full-of-baloney phony like me

Grim: Wait... what? O-o

Ember: Say, how about the time you went to Indiana?

Ron: I was lyin'

I was down in Ala...bam

Ember: You said you had some business

You had to complete

Ron: What I was doin'

I would be a cad to repeat

Ember: Well, what about the evenin's

You were with your mother?

Ron: I was rompin' with another honey lamb

Ember: To think you swore

Our love was real

Ron: Well, baby, let us not forget

That I'm a heel

How could you believe me

When I said I loved you

When you know I've been a liar

Ember: Nothin' but a liar

Ron: All my dog-gone, no-good

Both: Good-for-nothin' life

Ron: All right, Ember! You can come with us!

Ember: *takes off headphones* ... what?

Ron: Yeah, I've got a date--

Grim: We're going to pick up Janice, Floyd, Dr. Teeth, Sunny and Patrick up at the Krusty Krab.

Ember: Well... I suppose I could. I've actually been looking for... a member of the Mayhem all day.

Ron: Why?

Ember: Because! ... because... er...

Grim: You want to do a duet with this person?

Ember: Yeah. I have a lot of ideas. *hands the boys her mp3 player that she was listening to*

Grim: ... Okay, then. We're off.

*the newly established trio make their way to the Krusty Krab*

Ron: *listening to a song on the mp3* Hey, wait a minute! This sounds exactly like "That Old Black Magic" in the Jaye P. Morgan episode! ... Only Jaye P.'s voice has been edited out and has been replaced by--

Ember: Give it back! *snatches mp3 player back from Ron*

Ron: But it sounded like you were singing a duet with Do--

Ember: And let me guess, you want to sing "Rockin' Robin" with Janice.

Ron: ... That'd. Be. AWESOME!!

Ember: *sighs*

((A video of the song in this post can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmIoBYzvYCI&feature=related ))

(At the Krusty Krab, "Janice" is talking to... herself?)

Janice: *as Ami:* You know, in an odd way, being in somebody else's body is kinda fun! *sarcastically as Yumi:* Yeah. It's really fun sharing somebody else's body with your best friend. *as Ami:* Oh, come on, Yumi! You have to admit this is fun! *as Yumi:* It is not fun! Everyone here is staring at us because we are talking to each other... In the same body!

(As "Janice" is talking, a couple of fish not too far away stare at her.)

Girl fish: What is her problem?

Guy fish: I have no idea. Quick, let's get out of here before she sees us staring at her. *they get up and leave*

(Meanwhile, Squidward is talking to, er, Ash and Riku?)

Squidward: So, uh, how exactly did this happen to you?

Floyd: *as Ash:* Uh, I really don't know. All I remember was looking into this crystal ball thing that Stitch found in Grim's suitcase, then the next thing we knew... *as Riku:* We both ended up in Floyd's body and Floyd is sharing ours. *as Ash:* Yeah. Isn't that weird?

Squidward: *flatly:* Yeah, whatever.

(Grim, Ember and Ron enter the restaurant)

Ron: Man, I am just loving this whole "being-able-to-breathe-underwater" thing! Don't you, Ember?

Ember: Dude, I'm a ghost. I don't need to breathe. I'm dead!

Grim: There you are! What are you doing here?! Don't you guys know that the Animation Theater needs you?!

Sunny: *In Dr. Teeth's voice:* Hey, man. Chill out. We were just taking a lunch break before our big performance.

Grim: Well while you guys were taking your lunch break, all of heck's breakin' loose at the theater! Now you guys need to get your butts back to the theater, now!

Sunny: *as Dr. Teeth:* Alright man. If you say so. (to the rest of the gang:) Alright guys, pack it up! We've gotta get back to the Animation Theater! Our fans are missing us! (the gang follows Sunny, Dr. Teeth, Grim and Ember out. Ron takes Janice's hand as she's leaving.)

Ron: Allow me, madame.

Janice: *As Ami:* Oh! Uh, thank you, Ron.

Ron: Don't mention it. ... Hey, what happened to your voice?

Janice: *as Yumi:* Don't ask.

Ron: Um, okay?

(everyone exits, leaving Squidward alone in the Krusty Krab)

Squidward: Finally.

Mr. Krabs: (Offscreen, in his office) Mr. Squidward! I don't hear any money! There better be at least one customer out there when I come out or else!

Squidward: *screams* Hey, you guys! Wait for me! *runs after the gang*

Norm: Des?

Desiree: Yes?

Norm: Our guest stars are the Muppets, right?

Desiree: That's right.

Norm: Then how do you explain them? *points to five figures*

Gobo: Wow, I didn't know that cave would've led us to here, eh!

Red: *only slightly interested* Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wembley: I can't believe all of the Silly Creatures here!

Boober: All right, can we please go back to the Rock before we catch a deadly disease

Gobo: You worry too much, Boober!

Mokey: *observing all the chaos* Interesting.

Edd: *walks over to Norm* Technically speaking, Norm, the creatures of Fraggle Rock were created by Jim Henson. That same mind also developed the Muppets.

Desiree: But I thought that Disney owned the Muppets now.

Edd: I was getting to that. Now, unlike the actual group of Muppets, the characters of "Fraggle Rock" are owned by the Jim Henson Company. However, that doesn't stop fans from the fandoms calling the "Fraggle Rock" characters, as well as the actual Muppets and the "Sesame Street" puppets, "Muppets". In fact, by definition, those charcaters are Muppets. Compare this to the "Creatures", the puppet characters created by the Creature Shop in London. Yoda from "Star Wars" is an example of this. So are the characters of "The Dark Crystal". But not all the puppets created in London are Creatures. The characters from "The Ghost of Faffner Hill" are some examples--

Norm: Okay, information, back to the Muppet Wiki where you belong.

Riku: *in Floyd's voice* Hey, Norm, we're in kind of a tight spot.

Yumi: *in Janice's voice* Rully. And like, Floyd and I are kind of doubled right now.

Ami: *in Janice's voice* Fer sure.

Rowlf: *enters from the dressing room* Janice? Floyd?

Ash: *in Floyd's voice* Rowlf, my main canine dude!

Ami: *in Janice's voice* Hi, Rowlf!

Desiree: ... Ash? Ami? Riku? Yumi?

Stitch: *in Animal's voice* WO-MAN! *starts to chase Desiree*

Norm: ... Anyone else affected?

Zoot: *wakes up* *in Patrick's voice* Huh? What?

Riku: *in Floyd's voice* Well, not all of us are here.

Ash: *in Floyd's voice* Yeah, the good doctor and those cats who switched bodies with the band have flown the coop.

Animal: *in Stitch's voice* Ih. Grim go get them. Grim told me and Animal to keep everybody here.

Desiree: *trying to calm Stitch-- er, Animal, down* Stitch-- er, Animal! Stop that! *slaps him on the cheek*

Stitch: *in Animal's voice* Sah-ree.

(OOC: Woot! Fraggles rock!)

(Said group, along with Grim, Ember and Ron, come in)

Grim: Now everybody whose switched bodies, gather 'round! (the band members do so)

Norm: Grim, what the heck is going on here?!

Grim: It's kind of a long story, Norm, but to make it short, I'll explain it simply; Stitch got into my suitcase and used my crystal ball from beyond to switch the bodies of the band members.

Desiree: Oh. That explains a lot.

Grim: And now that they're all here, I'm gonna use my powers to switch them all back. Okay, now is everybody here?

Janice: *as Ami:* Yep! *as Yumi:* Just get it over with.

Grim: Alright then. (picks up his scythe so that it shoots a beam at both the bands. A green glow surrounds both bands, the "souls" of the members are switched to the others bodies and the glow stops) Now, tell me; Is everybody back to normal?

Ash: I think so...

Riku: Yes.

Grim: Good.

(Suddenly Squidward runs into the room)

Norm: What the- Who the heck are you?

Patrick: Hi Squidward! What are you doing here?

Squidward: Well, when I was running at first, I was doing it just to get away from Mr. Krabs, but... Wait, Patrick, you're one of the people who works at the Animation theater?

Patrick: *nods* Uh-huh.

Squidward: Wow. You are sooo lucky. I always wanted to be a part of the theater, if my musical career never got off the ground!

Norm: *rolleyes* Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's really nice, but seriously, you need to get out of here.

Nigel: Now wait a minute, Norm. I've got an idea. Let's see, now the Animation theater is still looking for a conductor, right?

Norm: Well, yeah.

Nigel: And this guy is a musician who wants to work at the theater, right?

Norm: Right-

Nigel: So why not make this guy,- Uh, what's your name?

Squidward: Squidward.

Nigel: Yeah, Squidward. Why don't you let Squidward here be the conductor for the band?

Norm: Well, I suppose we could let him do it for a whi-

Squidward: *shakes Norm's hand* Oh, thank you, sir! I can tell you right now, you won't be disappointed!

Norm: Now wait a minute, I said I'd-

Nigel: So then it's settled! We'll get you started right away!

Norm: But I-

Squidward: Oh boy! I just can't wait to get started! *heads off with Nigel to start conducting*

Norm: *sigh*

Desiree: But what about the little Fraggles?

Grim: Fraggles?

Ty Lee: *hugs Gobo, Wembley and Boober* They're so cute!

Boober: O_o; ... help... me...

Ember: ... no, we're not interested with dancing our cares away.

Ron: Cool! *takes Wembley* I finally get to meet you guys!

Wembley: Really?

Norm: *facepalm* Where are Clay and Kermit when you need them? Or anybody else?

(Kermit and Clay walk in, as if on cue.)

Kermit: Well, I see we've found the bands.

Grim: And got them back to normal. *shakes finger at Stitch* Now you know why I tell ya not to mess with me suitcase!

Stitch: Ih. Sorry.

Norm: And by the way, Clay? You know how we were looking for a conductor for the band?

Clay: Yeah. What about it?

Norm: Forget it. Nigel's already hired a friend of Patrick's as the conductor.

Clay: Oh? Is he any good?

Norm: Well...

(terrible music is heard playing up front)

Desiree: Does that answer your question?

(Clay and Kermit go to the front of the stage to see Squidward badly directing the band)

Clay: Squidward, that's terrible!

Squidward: Sorry. I had no idea your band had no talent.

(Ember comes in)

Ember: They've got plenty of talent! You're just directing them badly!

Squidward: I am not!

Ember: You are too!

Squidward: Am not!

Ember: Are too!

Clay: Now guys, I'm sure there's a way we can make this work out.

Ember: No offense Clay, but this is an argument between me and Squidward, so just stay out of it.

(As Squidward and Ember argue and Clay tries calming them down, Penguin comes by)

Penguin: Um, Clay? I was sent here for a job to help conduct the band, and I was wondering- (he notices he's being ignored because they're arguing, and that the audience isn't exactly happy with this) Uh, I might as well take over I guess... *starts directing the band to play and they follow correctly this time*

Ember: -And I don't care if it's your first time conducting for such a large audience, it-

Clay: Wait a minute, guys. Listen.

(Ember and Squidward stop arguing long enough to hear the band playing correctly and in tune)

Ember: See? Told ya they weren't talentless.

Squidward: But I don't understand. If I'm not leading them than who- *turns head to see Penguin leading them* Penguin?

(Music stops and audience claps)

Clay: Penguin, that was great!

Penguin: I guess so. Does that mean I get the job?

Squidward: Now wait a minute, I thought I was the conductor of this band!

Ember: Oh yeah? Says who?

Clay: Now wait a minute! Before you two start arguing again, will you listen to me?

Ember: *sigh* Fine. What is it?

Clay: Why can't Penguin teach Squidward how to conduct?

Squidward: But I already know how to do that!

Clay: Well then, why don't you just follow his lead and learn to be a bit better?

Squidward: *opens mouth to argue, but sighs instead* Fine. Sure. Whatever. I don't care anymore.

Clay: Good. Now I'd better head backstage to get everything else ready. (goes backstage, with Ember following him)

Ember: You think that was a good idea, letting Squidward take lessons from Penguin?

Clay: Well, would you rather him not have any lessons at all and play anyway?

Ember: Good point...

Ron: *walks up to Clay, Wembley still in his hands* Hey, Clay! Look, Fraggles! *holds Wembley up*

Wembley: Wow, a Silly Creature!

Clay: Wait a minute, how'd they get here?

Wembley: You can talk to Gobo about it. He's the one who got us here.

Clay: ... all right, then I will. *goes to find Gobo*

Ember: ... If the characters from Sesame Street show up, I'm leaving.

((OOC: I've only recently started watching "Fraggle Rock", so I don't have all the characters personalities down.))

(Zim and Boris walk in)

Ember: Oh man, they're back.

Piggy: (sweetly:) Come back for more, gentlemen?

Zim, Boris: O.O No, Miss Piggy!

Piggy: Well, I'm glad you see it my way. Now if you will please excuse me, I must go and get ready for my big performance! *leaves to do so*

Ember: So where did you guys end up?

Zim: Some primitive neighborhood called Sesame Street. Ugh! Ashame I didn't have the flamethrower or that giant yellow chicken we met would've been fried.

Ember: How did you get back?!

Boris: We followed a crazy fangirl who vouldn't shut up and kept asking us, mostly me, qvestions! Particularly ones about Natasha...

Ember: I think I know who that is...

(Sokka, Momo, and Jimmy Neutron enter)

Sokka: Are you sure this will work?

Jimmy: *fastening what appears to be a bowtie around Momo's neck* Of course it will. Thanks to the new Neutronic Voice Box, any creature can--

Sokka: I know that. Just let me try it out. ... Hey, Momo. How are you?

Momo: *stares at Sokka*

Ember: *watching them* ... you expect him to talk back?

Sokka: Yes! Come on, Momo, speak!

Momo: *still staring at Sokka*

Jimmy: Let me know how it goes. I need to find Dr. Honeydew, Carl, Sheen and the others for a new experiment.

Sokka: Okay. Whatever.

(Jimmy leaves to find the above mentioned)

Momo: Bye-bye, Jimmy!

Ember, Sokka: O_O He can talk!?

Momo: I can talk!? ... NO WAY!

Norm: (flatly:) Great. It talks.

Desiree: Oh, don't be so negative, Norm. I think he's cute! (sweetly:) Aren't you, you little cutie? *scratches Momo behind the ears*

Momo: Hey! Stop touching m- Uh, a little lower. (Desiree's hand goes lower. His tongue hangs out and he drools) Oh, that feels nice...

Grim: But now what are we gonna do with these fraggles?!

Ron: Why do anything? These guys are great!

Grim: *sigh*

Sokka: ... I'm gonna... go help Jimmy and them... yeah. (walks away to do so)

(Johnny Fiama and Sal enter)

Sal: All right, everyboy, make way! Johnny Fiama's entering the room!

Johnny: Thank you, Sal.

Sal: No problem, Johnny.

Ember: Oh, great, those two... If you need me, I'll be talking to Dr. Teeth and the other musicians. (floats away to find said people)

Momo: Cool, a talking monkey! *extendsa hand* Hi, I'm Momo.

Sal: Oh, hi! I'm Sal. *shakes the lemur's hand* Nice to meet you.

Ron: *realizes something* Grim, can you watch Wembley for me? I've gotta catch up with Ember. *gives the Fraggle to Grim and runs off in Ember's direction* Hey, wait up!

(Ron runs to catch up with Ember, and when he finally does he's on his knees panting...)

Ron: *taking deep breaths in-between:* Wait- Ember...

Ember: *sigh* What do you want?!

Ron: I- gotta- ask you something.

Ember: If by the off-chance you're going to ask this question at any point in my life; No, I'm not marrying you.

Ron: What? No! That wasn't my question!

Ember: Okay. Just had to get that out of the way. Anyway, what?

Ron: ... Okay. This wasn't the question that I was originally gonna ask you, but it just popped into my mind.

Ember: Well, spit it out!

Ron: *inhales* Why is it that, on your MP3 play, there's a a track of you singing "That Old Black Magic" with, and you know, it sounds like the version that Jaye P. Morgan sang with him on "The Muppet Show", and--

Ember: Jam session!

Ron: Huh?

Ember: It was an informal jam session that happened some time ago.

Ron: ... oh.

Ember: So what's your real--

(Pepe enters, talking on his cell phone)

Pepe: *into cellphone* I do not care what joo say, hokay? I am a star, and I will not be talked to that way! *hangs up* Dios mio, hokay... *sees Ember* Hola, chica. I am Pepe and I am, what joo might call, a hot and spicy king prawn, hokay.

Ember: Pepe, it's me.

Pepe: ... oh. ... Why joo wear the black dress?

Ron: Yeah... why?

Ember: ... I don't have time for this. *leaves to find... whoever she was finding*

Ron: Wait, Ember, don't leave! *calls after her* I need advice!

Pepe: ... joo know, if it's romantic love advice you need, Ronald, I can help joo, hokay?

Ron: Uh, that's not the kind of advice I'm looking fo-

Grim: Ron! Come in here!

Ron: Uh-oh. That can't be good...

(OOC: Oh nos! I'm running out of ideas!)

((OOC: Hmm... Maybe we should do something other than this "storyline" for a while. Like develop a floor plan for the boarding house [for the Gang] so that we know what it looks like and who's roomates with who.))

Okay. Let's get started. *brings in wood and nails*

Ron: o.O Uh...

Grim: Don't say anything, mon...

Great. Now... first we decide where the location will be and how many floors it will have. And then we move on to the rooms, the backyard, the basement, and who will share a room with who. And if you've seen "Muppets From Space", it gives us a pretty general idea about how many... living organisms will be living in the house.

Ember: No, no, no, no, no...
