It was a bit of a dull day as Cherry had her friends meet up with her at home as they all looked a bit bored with nothing to do.
"I don't know, what do you wanna do today?" Cherry spoke up.
"I dunno, what do you wanna do today?" Atticus replied.
"Something other than this," Mo groaned. "Is there nothing happening in town?"
"Not that I know of." Cherry sighed as she put her pillow to her face and groaned into it.
"MAIL CALL!" Lionel exclaimed as he came inside. "Hmm... Well, well, what's this?"
The group soon fell against each other in the middle of the floor.
"...You guys look so sad..." Lionel said before bringing out the letter. "But Cherry has a letter."
Cherry took a hold of it and looked curious before her eyes widened.
"We just got a letter, We just got a letter, We just got a letter, I wonder who it's from?~" Atticus soon randomly sang.
"Can it," Cherry rolled her eyes from the random song. "It's from the new Muppet Studios!"
"Is that all?" Mo asked, as Cherry read the letter.
"No..." Cherry replied. "Apparently we're being invited to join the Muppets in their movie sequel."
"AWESOME!" Lionel exclaimed.
"...I just have to ask since I don't know much about your life in the 5th-Dimension," Cherry spoke up before looking at him. "But you do know who the Muppets are, right?" she then asked.
"Who doesn't know about the Muppets?" Atticus replied.
"Yes, but Lionel's not from here..." Cherry reminded.
"...Oh, right." Atticus said, now feeling like an idiot.
"To answer your question? I dunno very much." Lionel replied.
"Well, watch this for a moment." Cherry said as she put on a video for him based on The Muppet Variety Show back in the 1980's.
"Where are you going?" Mo asked.
"I'm going to make sure a certain someone doesn't need us for anything that he'll just pull us away from home for." Cherry replied as she left the room briefly.
"Um... Okay." Lionel replied as he sat down.
Cherry left her house briefly while Lionel would educate himself. Atticus, Mo, and Patch decided to join Lionel for the time being with small smiles as he began to watch the Muppets in action.
EVENTUALLY...
"Well, that was an interesting video." Lionel replied.
"So, yeah, those are the Muppets," Atticus nodded. "Did you enjoy yourself?"
"Yeah, that was a lot of fun," Lionel replied. "I can't wait to meet them!"
"Well, hopefully we can." Mo beamed.
Cherry soon came back after a while.
"All right, what did he say?" Atticus asked. "Can we go meet the Muppets?"
"This time, we can go," Cherry nodded. "We just have to come back and see him sometime after to prepare for something big that might be coming like maybe that group called The Guardians of the Galaxy."
"Okay," Lionel shrugged. "Then let's do this thing!"
"Let's hit the road!" Patch beamed. "I call shotgun!"
"No way, Spot!" Cherry replied.
They soon all got into Atticus's car as they got set for a new adventure away from home, especially with the Muppets.
"Is Thor coming too?" Atticus asked Cherry.
"I heard he's apart of some exchange program in France," Cherry shrugged. "Guess he'll sit this one out."
"Maybe we'll see him!" Lionel exclaimed. "I wonder who he exchanged with...?"
"That's a good question." Cherry replied.
"...You're not gonna answer, are you?" Atticus asked.
"...So Cathleen's trying to get back in the group." Cherry then suddenly changed the subject.
"Oh? After the whole fiasco that occurred during the Broly adventure?" asked Lionel. "Talk about unexpected, but totally expected."
"She keeps begging for a second chance..." Cherry said. "Even asking me to talk to Drell for her."
"Sounds like when we met Rocky and Bullwinkle," Atticus rolled his eyes. "She wanted extra help for her powers, but she kept asking you to ask him for you even though the first step to ask him for help is to do it yourself."
"Exactly!" Cherry replied before looking at Lionel. "I'll tell you about Rocky and Bullwinkle later, but right now: Muppets."
"Yay!" Lionel exclaimed, grinning widely.
They soon passed by a town sign that told them they were now leaving Greendale.
"We're doing a sequel, We're back a popular demand~," Atticus began to sing as they rode down the road together. "C'mon on, everybody, strike up the band, We're doing a sequel~"
"We're doing a sequel; That's what we do in Hollywood~" sang Lionel. "And everybody knows, the sequel's never quite as good!~"
"A sequel, Another feature attraction, Places please, light the lights, roll camera, action!~" Atticus and Mo sang.
"I thought it was the end, But no my friends this is, When we get to do it all again~" The group sang together.
"Do it all again!~" Angel, Patch, and Cleo soon sang, coming out from Mo, Atticus, and Cherry's backpacks.
"We're doing a sequel, there's no need to disguise; the studio considers us a viable franchise~" sang Furrball.
"We're doing a sequel! How hard can it be?~" sang Two-Tone. "We can't do any worse than The Godfather 3!~"
"We're doing a sequel, The fandom wants more!~" The group sang together.
"While we wait for PerkyGoth14 to write Toy Story 4!" A random live-action shot was shown as reviewers of the creator of this story was shown, especially one who was called RustyPete12.
"I'm still waiting for Frosty the Snowman!" One unknown reviewer called out before a pile of snow landed on him to shut him up.
"I thought it was the end, But no my friends this is when, We get to do it all again~" Cherry sang.
"Do it all again!" The adventure group chorused as they sang together. "Until the credits roll, We've got another go to show them, We can do it all again~"
"We're doing a sequel, let's give it a go!~" sang Lionel.
"With Hollywood stars and more one-liner cameos~" sang Caroline Rhea and Beth Broderick.
"We're doing a sequel, I don't mean to be a stickler~" pointed out Dr. Bunsen Honeydew. "But this is the seventh sequel to our original motion picture~"
"Technically, not a sequel!" Lionel pointed out.
"Then like these two being connected, it's an equal!" Cherry added as she brought out random DVD copies of movies called Shock Treatment and The Rocky Horror Picture Show to fit the joke.
"We're doing a sequel, Let's give it a shot~" The group sang together.
"All we need now is a half-decent plot~" PerkyGoth14 sang as she was shown in front of her laptop screen with a glass of soda to keep herself awake in the long hours of story-making.
And so the group waited.
"Looks like they're doing a world tour plot!" Lionel remarked. "Hopefully it plays out better than Total Drama's take..."
"Or that Cartoon Network parody with a lot more characters added with fake-out non-elimination rounds just to make the story longer." Cherry mumbled.
The others looked at her.
"It's a long story," Cherry replied. "A very... Very... Very long story..." she then said.
"I agree with both of you," Atticus told Lionel and Cherry. "Plus we get to hang out with the Muppets gang again!"
"In my case, for the first time!" Lionel exclaimed. "It'll be just like National Lampoon's European Vacation!"
"Heh... My favorite vacation movie next to Christmas..." Cherry replied.
They soon kept riding along for a while before they soon made it to the famed Muppet Studios.
"Hey, glad ya could make it!" Kermit beamed once he saw them. "Did ya hear we're doing a sequel?"
"Yeah, we had our own musical number about it." Mo replied.
"We also have a new friend for you to meet." Atticus added.
"Hi!" Lionel exclaimed as he climbed out of the car. "Very nice to meet you all! Lionel Schwartz: Comic Ingenue, Vocal Impressionist, and Pop Culture Aficionado! My card." he said, handing one to them.
"Oh, I see," Kermit said as he took the card. "Nice to meet you, Lionel. We have a new member to our little Muppet family ourselves that we recently added."
"Yeah?" Lionel asked.
"That would be me," Walter spoke up as he came to see Lionel. "I was a huge fan of the Muppets with my brother when we were kids and now I'm one of them! It's such a great honor in my life." he said with a smile.
"Sounds familiar." Cherry smirked playfully towards Lionel.
Lionel rolled his eyes with a smile. "Cool to meet you, Walter. I suppose this little adventure ought to be an interesting escapade." he replied.
"I think so too." Walter smiled back.
"Do you guys have plans for dinner yet?" Kermit asked.
"Uh, no, we just got here," Patch replied as he stood with the other animals. "Why do you ask?"
"Someone's asked to join us for dinner along with a couple of friends of his." Kermit explained.
"Ohh..." Atticus smiled. "Well, I guess we could come along too. If that's okay of course."
"Of course it is!" Miss Piggy giggled as she suddenly came right beside the frog. "I really admire you all, you're like the children I've always wanted as my very own nieces and nephews~... But instead, I had to get Andy and Randy." she then firmly pouted about a couple of dim-witted pigs who were her nephews.
"Well, I guess we could eat." Lionel shrugged.
"Travel does make me a bit hungry." Cherry added.
"Whenever you're ready of course." Kermit replied.
"I could eat right about now myself." Miss Piggy giggled.
"I'm sure you could." Mo chuckled a bit.
"Hm..." Miss Piggy said with a dismissive look while shaking her head.
"Well, I suppose we should go for it," Lionel replied. "The sooner, the better!"
Kermit and the other Muppets beamed. They soon took off, each in different cars as Atticus drove his car, following after Kermit's car with the other Muppets.
"Must be pretty big if this new friend wants to meet all of the Muppets." Cherry commented.
"Aye," Lionel agreed. "Makes you wonder, doesn't it?"
"I know I'm wondering it myself." Mo replied as she pet Angel who looked all around in wide wonder.
Caroline Rhea and Beth Broderick were shown as they drove past them.
"...Those two ladies look familiar..." Cherry said before shrugging. "It's probably not important."
"Good point," Atticus replied, keeping his eyes on the road. "On to the dinner meeting!" he declared.
"Yeah!" The group all cheered as did the Muppets.
Soon, they were at a restaurant as a bearded man sat at one side of the booth with his company on the other side, huddled together.
"Wow. Thanks for seeing me at my regular booth, Muppets," The man smiled from across the booth. "As well as some friends of yours."
The Muppets and adventure group nodded.
"Big fan. Huge. Dominic. International tour manager." Dominic said as he slid over his business card over at them across the table.
"'Dominic Badguy'?" Fozzie read aloud in confusion.
"It's pronounced 'Bad-Gee'," Dominic clarified. "It's French.
"Ohh..." The Muppets then said in understanding.
"It means 'good man'." Dominic then added.
"I think you mean 'Homme bon'." Cherry remarked.
Dominic was joined by two people: a short mustachioed man wearing a gray suit and tie, and a tall woman wearing a beret, a green neckerchief, and a pair of black pants. "And these are my associates: Jacob Westershire of England, and Darcy Versailles." he then added.
"Is very nice to be meeting you, Govenor!" said the short man in a clearly-Russian-sounding accent.
Cherry and Atticus shared a glance from the accent before looking back at their new friends.
"How do you do?" The woman soon asked, sounding a bit husky in her voice.
"Just fine, thanks." Mo said bashfully as she wasn't sure how to really answer that question properly.
"Listen up. You're hot," Dominic soon said. "You're having a moment, but what is inevitable about a moment? It ends."
"I don't want this moment to end!" Fozzie cried as he took Kermit's hand.
"That's why we got to get out there now and capitalize on this moment with a capital 'Yeah'?" Dominic then continued with a nod. "I want you to conquer the world. Do an international tour. Show a global audience what you can do."
"Yes! Conquer the world!" Jacob grinned as he seemed to get too into that before Darcy nudged him to keep it down.
"In that case, I'm glad we came over then." Cherry then said.
The other Muppets seemed to get into a lumped conversation before Kermit settled them down.
"Listen, I'd love to do that too, but we've barely gotten back together," The frog explained. "I don't wanna mess that up."
Dominic clasped his hands together. "...Okay, I am inundated with management offers at the moment: One Direction, U2, Cirque du Soleil, just... So many acts," he replied. "I could make a list."
"Wow..." The other Muppets exclaimed.
"That's a good list!" Fozzie nodded.
"Yeah, I guess... Even though I'm not a fan of any of those people." Cherry commented.
"And now, I wanna tour manage you guys, along with these friends of yours," Dominic then said before gesturing at Atticus, Cherry, Lionel, and Mo. "I know you're the boss, Kermit. I wouldn't interfere with that. We would share our managerial roles because you've got a special bond with these little guys."
"Sure." Kermit nodded, along with the other Muppets.
Suddenly, there was a phone ring.
"Phone call for you." Darcy said as she brought out the phone to Dominic.
"Thank you," Dominic said before answering the call. "President Clinton? What?" he then asked before walking off to take the call in private.
"President Clinton?" Mo asked out of confusion.
Jacob and Darcy decided to join Dominic while the Muppets looked excited about the offer from Dominic.
"Clinton? This isn't the 90's anymore!" Lionel remarked. "Who does he think he's fooling?"
"Probably the Muppets." Atticus muttered.
"I dunno, guys, he seems like a nice guy." Gonzo smiled.
"Yeah!" Rowlf nodded. "Humble and honest."
"What do you think, Kermit?" Atticus then asked.
"I just... I think we have to get settled first, you know?" Kermit replied. "Hone the show, get some new material, and then maybe go on a world tour."
"I think Kermit makes a decent point." Cherry remarked.
"Yeah, you guys wouldn't wanna end up bombing on a foreign scale." Mo nodded.
"Exactly." Kermit said to the girls.
"What about his friends?" Patch asked about Dominic. "They seemed... Interesting."
"Yeah, I guess," Cherry replied. "That English guy sounded more Russian to me."
"And that lady did, too," Lionel nodded. "Not to mention her voice had this husky feel to it. Above all, they both sounded really suspicious."
"I can't place it, but they just seemed very odd." Patch replied.
"Spot might be onto something." Cherry agreed.
"So... What's it gonna be, Muppets?" Dominic asked as he came back briefly. "Ready to be world-famous?"
"I thought they were already world-famous?" Two-Tone commented.
"No pressure, but I am a very busy man," Dominic then said before his phone rang again and he checked it. "That's Rihanna. I really should take this." he then said.
"World tour! World tour!" The other Muppets began to chant excitedly.
"Well, I mean... I guess we could always hone our acts on the road, and that would be okay," Walter remarked. "Wouldn't it, Kermit?"
"World tour! World tour!" The other Muppets continued.
"Come on, Froggy!" Darcy smirked as she stood with Jacob.
Kermit thought long and hard about it before he nodded. "Okay, let's do it. Dominic, you're hired." he then said as he held out his hand.
Dominic shook his hand as the Muppets let out a cheer. "Thanks, Kermit-... Er, I mean, boss. You won't regret this." he replied.
"Somehow, I feel like he might." Lionel muttered to the others.
Atticus, Cherry, and Mo nodded. Patch did too, though Two-Tone, Furrball, Cleo, and Angel weren't sure what to really say. The other Muppets soon cheered happily as this was going to be a great future for them.
"I'm sure you all will have fun too." Dominic then smiled at the adventure group.
"Uh-huh..." Atticus replied as he and the others looked at Dominic and his associates suspiciously.
