Synopsis: When Janice and Floyd end up accidently being locked up in the Muppet Theatre for the weekend, a relationship that once died will possibly reborn into something better.
CHAPTER 1: Stuck Inside
Another long day had finally come and gone. The Muppet theatre had been busy as usual. While it was true that it had been more than thirty years since they had done something interesting or whacky, the theatre was still used for special occasions like meetings, rehearsals, and other important things. It was late on a Friday afternoon. Kermit the Frog had just put his belongings away. The weekend had begun and it was time to go home and spend it with his beloved nephew…even though Miss Piggy had continually asked him to spend it with her. Still, Kermit refused. This made Miss Piggy upset, but when Kermit insisted to he stayed with his beloved nephew, the pig could not resist the reply of the frog she loved and admired. She could have just threatened him too, but decided not to. They all had had a long day and it was time for all of the tired muppets to go home and let the weekend begin.
Gonzo was going to be busy that Friday night. He and his girlfriend, Camilla the chicken, had been planning on going to a fancy vegetarian restaurant that night and possibly go see a movie if they could. They had been planning this night for a long time. It was obvious that Gonzo loved her, so he thought that Camilla should feel glad when she was around him, no matter what other people thought.
Fozzie, on the other hand, was going to spend the weekend with his mother, Emily Bear. Seeing as Emily Bear was indeed his "Ma", he felt like he needed to.
Scooter was going to stay home and have a quiet night as planned. This was normal for him.
The Electric Mayhem were going to spend the whole weekend playing their music as loud enough to wake the dead, hoping that they will find a gig. However, Dr. Teeth, Zoot, and Animal had already left the theatre and went to the apartment the band stayed in, remembering that Floyd and Janice had said that they were going to catch up with them later. They were, of course, concerned, but they left anyway.
Rowlf the Dog was going to be staying home and doing what he normally did: "Finish work, go home, read a book, have a couple of beers, take myself out for a walk, and go to bed." Nice and simple.
As for others such as Sam Eagle, Crazy Harry, and the Swedish Chef, no one knew what the were up to, especially since they kept private about…which is not normal for those such as Crazy Harry! He never kept his mouth shut and was always ready to blow something up. It did not matter what it was, just let Harry blow it up!
After an hour of putting everything away, muppets finally started to leave and go on with their weekend. After everyone…almost…had left, Kermit locked the door to the theatre and walked home with his nephew Robin. Too bad he did not realize that the Muppet Theatre was not empty like everyone thought. There were still a couple of people still in there. Now with the theatre locked and the key with Kermit, who had already left, they were both stuck.
"…HELLO!!" yelled a male voice who was still in the theatre. Suddenly, a muppet with long orange-red hair tied in a pony tail showed his face. He wore an army cap and had a guitar case, which held his special bass guitar.
Sergeant Floyd Pepper was still inside the theatre. Unfortunately, no one knew that he was alone except a blonde girl who was also there. As Floyd wandered around the theatre, his voice echoed through the building. Spooking, wasn't it? He thought so.
"HELLO!!" he yelled again. Still no answer, that is until he finally heard a reply.
"…Floyd?" asked a female voice. Floyd looked around and saw the blonde girl staring at him as he stared back. The blonde girl had a small ponytail hanging on the side. Floyd was happy to see this person. He knew her very well. At least Floyd now knew that he was not going to be entirely alone.
"Janice! You're here too?" he asked. Janice walked up to him.
"Yeah, I'm afraid so. I was getting my stuff together, like, in my backpack, but then I heard a door close and I panicked." she replied. She claimed that she panicked, but she did not look like she panicked at all, but since Janice would never lie to Floyd, he had to believe her.
After she spoke, there was complete silence until Floyd finally spoke.
"Well, the door's locked, we can't get out, and the others are waiting for us! Dang this is crazy!" he said. They both sighed.
"Yeah…now what?" asked Janice, starting to feel worried. They looked around. There was no one but them. Everyone was gone, so how could there be?
"Hey girl, I guess we should do something, but what?" replied Floyd. Janice smiled and nodded. They started to walk together.
They came to the edge of the stage and sat there with their legs dangling freely, thus, starting a weekend they will never forget.
"Do you, like, think anyone's going to realize we're gone? It'd be weird if we ended up being stuck here for the next couple days for sure!" said Janice. Then Floyd remembered thier band mates.
"Maybe Dr. Teeth, Zoot, and Animal will start looking or us, or at least find the key and help up get out," he replied.
"How? Kermit has the key, and he's long gone, and since Kermit always locks the windows, all of the doors, and everything, we're stuck, unless the others practically beg Kermit to let them borrow it," returned Janice. Floyd frowned.
There was no escape.
