It was early morning as a certain light blue skinned stylist was awoken by his alarm clock but he was feeling unlike himself as his nose and head were stuffy and his throat hurt plus he was sneezing like crazy so was getting up despite feeling unlike himself since Piggy was counting on him to make her look fabulous for tonight's Up Late with Piggy getting dressed in his signature outfit.

"I don't have time to rest, as Piggy is counting on me to make her look pretty." Dudley said coughing leaving his apartment going to the studio but feeling out of it hoping Kermit and the others would not notice he wasn't feeling well.

Kermit was going on about something but Dudley wasn't paying attention feeling crummy sneezing making the others

"You okay, as you don't sound good plus Piggy needs you right?" Kermit asked him.

"I'll be fine Kermit, I can handle myself." Dudley said coughing but needed to drink something to sooth his throat making himself tea with honey.

He knew his health was important but he couldn't let Piggy down even if he was sick blowing his nose into a tissue because it was stuffy along with his head feeling sleepy but resting his head on Tne table, unaware Scooter was there.

"Oh boy, he is sick but guess he doesn't want to complain or upset a Piggy." he said leaving Dudley be.

Piggy was hearing Dudley sneeze a lot later that night while in her dressing room helping her get ready for Tne show making her concerned because they had good chemistry plus knew Dudley didn't like telling when he was sick.

She cared about him very much so didn't want anything to happen to him making him understand feeling more crummy which bothered her putting a gloved hand on Dudley's head feeling he had a fever knowing he needed medical attention, getting him to lie down on the bean bag chair.

"Just rest okay, as I'm calling a doctor." Piggy told him dialling the doctor seeing Dudley asleep hoping he was okay because he was important to her.

Scooter saw a look of worry on her face guessing it was about Dudley but saw the doctor here and it wasn't Bunsen guessing Dudley was feeling pretty sick so was leaving her be for now so was telling Kermit

"Oh, but at least she's helping Dudley out you know?" Kermit said to him knowing Dudley had hidden being sick from Tnem plus running himself ragged the last few days hadn't helped either.

They were seeing the doctor leave but Piggy was putting an ice pack on Dudley's head to try and bring down his fever because he had a pretty bad cold plus it weakened his magic

"We should let them be, for now." Kermit told the others.

A/N

I have had Dudley on my mind a lot plus my guy friend telling me about Tne next ep of Muppets next week involving Joan Jett and Piggy having a wardrobe crisis makes me very excited because it means Dudley to Tne rescue!

This is kind of a rewrite of a story I wrote before Christmas but I felt like writing a better draft but I hope those who liked the version I wrote before Christmas enjoys this version.

Dudley gets a pretty nasty cold but hiding it makes it worse but Piggy will help him out since those two like each other and have chemistry.
