It was around 7 PM the night of Breezepelt and Rosepetal's take on the Muppets Show. Those with night-time jobs had taken the night off. Those without had let their kits stay up late so they could see the show, too. And some had even gone to the extent of moving their bowling night to Wednesday so they wouldn't miss the Tuesday show. And if you didn't have a ticket three weeks in advance? You were out of luck. Breezepelt peeked around the closed curtains and gulped. The theater must have had around five hundred people in it, and the actors backstage were quite nervous. But, nonetheless, the familiar Muppets theme song started to play over the speakers. Breezepelt and Rosepetal took a deep breath.
"It's the Muppet Show!" Breezepelt sang in a nasally voice. He gave a nod to his partner, and took his place on the left side of the stage.
"It's time to play the music!" Rosepetal sang, dashing over to the right side of the stage.
"It's time to light the lights!" The lights around the stage clicked on as Breezepelt continued the song.
"It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight!" Rosepetal belted, getting a large round of applause from the audience. "It's time to put on make up," she continued.
"It's time to dress up right!" Breezepelt sang, nodding to Rosepetal for the cue.
"It's time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight!" they both sang in unison. The red curtains rose, revealing both actors. Breezepelt was wearing a green frog hat and a matching green jumpsuit, while Rosepetal wore a blonde wig and a pig snout. The audience cheered and clapped some more. Breezepelt and Rosepetal twirled around until they both reached the center of the stage, then joined hands and danced for a bit. Breezepelt dipped her, then brought her back up just in time for four other actors to continue the song.
"Why do we always come here?" one asked, strolling around the corner.
"I guess we'll never know." another said, coming out on stage and shrugging.
"It's kind of like a torture," said another, cartwheeling into view.
"To have to watch the show!" the final actor said, sliding on her knees on the stage.
"But now let's get things started," Breezepelt sang, pushing all four actors to the stage wing.
"Why don't you get things started?" Rosepetal asked, sliding over to Breezepelt on the slippery floor.
"It's time to get things started!" Breezepelt cheered, lifting Rosepetal into the air and twirling her around.
"On the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, muppetational..." they sang together, twirling around to opposite sides of the stage again.
"This is what we call the Muppet Show!" they finished together, extending their arms wide as if they were giving someone a hug. The audience was silent, then they burst into applause. They were cheering and screaming, clapping and stomping, yelling and shouting just for them.
