I'm Dr. Titipo and this is fanfiction .net, where the ship is being made today ! \o/

Okay, so this is a first time at writing in English, for that pairing, and for characters I have particularly loved for many years in general. Though my assistant and girlfriend Lavi, who's studying English, had helped me as a beta, there still can be some mistakes left… But hey, it's better to have some stuff clumsily written than nothing at all I suppose. Anyway, I think I will keep writing about them for a while, I have so much ideas !

This collection is based on a Muppet Labs (The 304's one, with Gilda Radner) but even more on a tweet from Kermit's official account. For those who wouldn't be able to search for it, the account had organized a Q&A session with the characters of Bunsen and Beaker, and in the much-vaunted tweet, they had answered about the way how they came to be close thanks to the "Muppet Labs Super Adhesive. It lasted months. We've been close ever since (And still sticky)." As this question has been asked by no one but a member of the tumblr community which gave me the motivation to write on them (IIIIT'S A SMALL WORLD AAAFTER AAAALL), I want to thank that person very much. Moreover, I just have e-mailed the staff to add Bunsen and Beaker in the characters' list for the Muppet Show section, so it's just a matter of time until we can tag properly any fanfic about them on this website !

This one will be long I suppose. By now I have written around ten chapters already. By the way, if you have an idea for one or even more, I will be glad to consider it !

And I think that's all for today. Have a nice reading !

1, or when Beaker realizes that things weren't so bad back then

.

- It's just a matter of time Beaker, don't be so childish. You could be at your home tomorrow.

The assistant sighed and desperately shook his head as he carried his suitcase on his way to the door of the house. How could he have thought that this Muppet Lab would be hilarious for once, without him being the fall guy of the day but the guest star ? How naive he had been ! How could it be different this time ? Of course this "joke" must have had consequences on him, the first thing he learned after joining the Muppet Show was that everything around Honeydew was in danger, as soon as he wanted to make or test inventions. The second thing was that Honeydew was obsessed with making inventions and testing them.

And it was nearly all he knew concerning his boss, or all he could understand at least. And the doorway he discovered as soon as his owner succeeded in unlocking the door confirmed this idea, their hands still glued together.

- Don't pay attention to the notes, it's... Kind of messy here, as I never receive anybody.

Supposing that the "notes" were hundreds stacks of paper amassed against all the walls, he just nodded and felt for the first time that he really was trapped. The scientist was now dragging him away through the house, and all he could do about it was trying to feel something like the resignation he was slowly getting used to when he was at work. It would be, indeed, more simple to just accept his doom instead of trembling in fear and disappearing in his collar while his boss was talking about the rooms they were passing by. And by "the rooms", it meant "even the ones he surely would never take a look inside".

- And this is the closet. But currently it's more like a storage room for the electric broom. Don't open it please, because once it's out, it takes hours to bring it back in. But again I'm sure you won't have to stay for too long, as dissolving the Muppet Labs Super Adhesive will be a piece of cake.

Beaker mumbled some 'meeps' and threw throw up one's hands (or maybe the only one he still literally could). Hopefully, Honeydew seemed not to notice and leaded him through a corridor.

Passing near what must have been the kitchen, his eyes caught something hanging on the fridge that looked like some plans for an automaton. Nothing like what the Dr. Honeydew from Muppets Lab would actually invent, as the robot was pretty good looking and apparently lacking any teeth, claws or anything in general that could have hurt him. Now, still in front of the room's door without even noticing it, he couldn't help but let out a curious 'meep' which seemed to surprise his boss for a second. But soon, the scientist cleared his throat and took a step towards him, letting their arms to get some rest.

- Do you like it ?... Well of course you do, everybody likes old fashion robots I guess. But this one is just a pastime, I just study it when I need to take my mind off the work. It would be a sort of butler so you see, nothing really serious like the things we do on the show. Actually I even think about giving it to Mr. Kermit, if I finish it one day. Now come over here…

He leaded him to the next door and opened it, revealing more mess and a bed. Probably answering to his silent confusion, Honeydew made a gesture in the direction of the room full of varied types of tools, books and even laboratory instruments that were piled until they could almost reach the ceiling.

- And this is my room. Well, I'm afraid we will have to sleep together but, as I said before, this situation will just be temporary.

Beaker couldn't contain a gasp, as he realized that this thought never came to his mind until then. Suddenly filled with panic, he started to firmly move his hands in a poor attempt to hide his embarrassment, to the point he even was reduced to mumble that he snored.

- Come on Beaker, I don't see any other solution and I am as much annoyed as you by the result of Miss Radner's clumsiness. And besides, it turns out that I sleep like a log so there is no need to worry about that."

The assistant remained silent, knowing that the polite smile Honeydew was giving to him was the same that he was giving to him every week on stage, when he refused to test anything he might create. It was the smile which meant "actually, it's not really like if you're having the choice there". He hated that smile.

So, with a sight, the red-headed muppet put down his suitcase, already guessing that there was long days ahead of him, and that separating them would be a long row to hoe.

And he still didn't get payed enough for that job.
