Muppet Babies
"King Thrushnose"
Author's Note: This is based off the fairytale "King Thrushbeard".
Chapter One
It was just another ordinary day in the Nursery. Scooter was at his computer and Rowlf was at the piano. Skeeter and Animal were watching Monster trucks on television. Piggy was playing with her dolls, and Kermit was coloring a drawing of a train.
Suddenly Fozzie ran in from the Nursery bedroom and cried "You guys! You won't believe what Gonzo's up to now!"
Piggy, who had been bothered by Gonzo several times that day put down a teacup in disgust. "What is that weirdo up to now?" she muttered to herself.
She followed the other Muppets into the nursery bedroom where Gonzo was perched on top of the railing on one of the cribs. He was holding the corners of a sheet in each hand.
"Gonzo, what are you doing?" said Scooter looking up at Gonzo doubtfully.
"I saw this on TV!" Gonzo declared. "I, Gonzo the Great, will parachute off the top of this building!"
Suddenly the Muppets were thrust into Gonzo's imagination. He was standing on top of a five-story building with a parachute strapped to his back. The other Muppets were looking up at him worriedly, except for Piggy, who was crossing her arms in annoyance.
"Gonzo," said Kermit worriedly "I don't think this is a good idea!"
"No one can stop Gonzo the Great!" he declared.
"No Gonzo wait!" Scooter cried. "You're not high enough! Your parachute won't open!"
But Gonzo paid no attention to Scooter. "And now the countdown!" he cried. "Ten… nine…"
"I'm going to get Nanny," said Piggy to everyone on the ground as the countdown continued.
"Five… four… three… two… one!" Gonzo jumped. "I'm Gonzo the-"
The Muppets were back in the nursery. Before Gonzo could finish his sentence he hit a pillow that the others had hurriedly put on the floor. Well, actually every part of him hit the pillow expect for his face.
The Muppets gasped. "Oh! Gonzo!"
"Oh my goodness!" said a voice. "Stand back kids!"
"I told you he was doing something stupid, Nanny!" said Piggy trailing behind Nanny, with her hands on her hips.
"Now Piggy it's not necessary to say such things," Nanny knelt over Gonzo. "Are you all right?"
Gonzo lifted his head, and the other Muppets gasped at his nose, which was at a very odd angle. "My nose kind of hurts," he admitted, his voice altered by the angle of his nose.
"It looks like you've hut it pretty bad," said Nanny sadly. "Kids," she said to the other Muppets. "I'm going to call Mrs. Caruthers to watch you while I take Gonzo to the doctor."
"Yes, Nanny" they replied worriedly, all of them except for Piggy.
