Morning! Just warning you, this chapter might not be as good as the others because I'm not a huge fan of The Electric Mayhem but I know that some of you lot love them so I'm going to put them in here so that no-one gets mad.
Dr Teeth, Floyd, Zoot, Lips and Janice are practicing very loudly. Animal is fast asleep on his drums. Axel and Jasmine approach, hands over their ears.
Axel: [shouts over the noise] Maybe we should come back later; these guys are making an atrocious amount of noise!
Jasmine: [shouts over the noise] No, we have to, I've got a set order. It's fine; we'll just quieten them like this! QUIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!
[The music stops. Animal wakes up and starts yelling]
Animal: Silence! Too much silence! Why everyone stop?!
Axel: What's his beef?
Floyd: He was trying to sleep, and you kids woke him up.
Jasmine: How does that work? You were the ones making that racket.
Dr Teeth: He's a musician. He sleeps like a baby with rock music going on, but if you turn it off, he'll wake up.
Floyd: Speaking of, why is he sleeping during practice? [To Animal] Hey, Animal! You can't keep sleeping on the job, man!
Animal: Sorry.
Janice: What do you kids want? You're interrupting our jam session!
Jasmine: Hey! Less of the 'kids'!
Axel: But Jas, we are kids.
Jasmine: I know that! [To The Electric Mayhem] We're here to interview you!
Dr Teeth: Interview? [shrugs] I guess so.
Floyd: Yeah, and then we can lie! My name's Bobbie and I play…the violin!
[Axel sighs]
Jasmine: Actually, it's for our homework, and I'm sure that our teacher wouldn't be very happy if you all lied.
Floyd: Oh, fine
Jasmine: Great. So, all jokes and lies aside, can you all introduce yourselves to the camera please?
Dr Teeth: Sure, I'm Dr Teeth and I play the piano.
Floyd: Yo, I'm Floyd Pepper and I play the bass. [plays a few notes on his bass]
Animal: Animal! Drums! DRUMS!
Janice: I'm Janice and I play the guitar.
Zoot: I'm Zoot, and I play the sax.
Jasmine: And…? [looks expectantly at Lips]
Floyd: That's Lips, he can't talk.
Axel: Really?
Floyd: Really. He plays the trumpet.
Jasmine: Right, well that's everyone. You are the Muppets' band?
Dr Teeth: Yep.
Animal: Band! Band!
Jasmine: So, do you enjoy working with the Muppets?
Dr Teeth: It's alright.
Zoot: Better than busking.
Floyd: [shakes his head] Nah, I don't like it.
Jasmine: Why not?
Floyd: Well, everyone's so crazy all the time; I wish they'd just cool it.
Janice: Yeah, not to mention all the mad adventures we get tangled in.
Axel: I know, right?
Jasmine: It's fun some of the time though! Remember when you first met, and you were playing in a church. And then later on, you saved them in your tour bus when their car broke down in the middle of no-where.
(Spoilers! Was I too late?)
Floyd: How do you know about all that? You weren't born then.
Jasmine: I watched the movie.
Floyd: Ah.
Dr Teeth: Good times.
Axel: So, we know how you lot met the Muppets, but how did you guys meet each other?
Dr Teeth: We went to school together.
Jasmine: Really?
Floyd: Yeah, we were in the school band. Everyone kept wanting us to play quieter, but we just got louder and louder!
Animal: LOUD!
Floyd: None of the teachers liked us. I was told I was wasting my time with my music and should 'knuckle down on other subjects'.
Janice: They said I had 'wasted potential'
Dr Teeth: Apparently I wasn't trying hard enough.
Animal: Speech impede- imped- Speech problem!
Zoot: I had confidence issues apparently. They said I let people walk over me and-
Floyd: [interrupts] Say his words for him.
[Zoot looks daggers at Floyd]
Jasmine: So, no-one believed in your musical talents?
Dr Teeth: Nope. We were all set to become famous musicians, and rock the world with our epicness, but everyone thought we were joking.
Floyd: We were kind of like the underdogs. No-one thought we could make it to fame, and now look at us!
Jasmine: I suppose that's what being a Muppet is all about. We're just animals, just little people with nothing but determination and a dream. And yet, we-
Axel: Please don't say you're going to teach us all a moral lesson and drag it out longer than four minutes.
Jasmine: [huffs] You're no fun, Axel. Alright, I won't tell my speech, I just think that The Electric Mayhem is a good example of the Muppets' pluck and determination because they pulled through despite everyone's denial.
Axel: Can't argue with that.
Ladies and Gentlemen and fellow internet nerds, I have an announcement. I have decided that all of my fanfictions will become a series, because many of my OCs have become like proper Muppets to me, so they're going to be in my fanfics too! The first in the series is Jinx, then this one, Behind the Scenes at the Muppet Theatre, then A Long Way Away, then What's Changed? and finally, my new one, Alex the Cheetah. You don't have to read them in that order, but it helps to understand the characters. Characters that aren't real Muppets, but will be included in my fanfics include:
Jasmine
Axel
Jinx
Ebony
Hazel
Alex
And Sapphire
