A/N: I know I said the next chapter would be about Wolverine but I realized I would have to introduce the X-men to the Muppets first. So, Wolvie gets the 4th chapter to himself. Thanks everyone for the reviews and encouragement.

A few minutes later...

            Rogue and Bobby were playing catch with the remains of a sentinel's head, while Beast recited some famous quote no one recognized. Warren and Logan had flipped for the showers. Logan called heads and pinned the coin to the floor with a claw. Warren decided not to argue.

            Scott was talking quietly with Jean, thinking that they might go out later and let the X-men baby-sit themselves. They looked up upon hearing a yelp. Actually, more than one yelp. Bobby lay sprawled amongst the wreckage, the sentinel's head in tiny dripping pieces next to him. Rogue must have overcompensated.

            What interested Scott more were the various bright, fuzzy creatures lying next to Bobby. Other creatures were approaching, drawn by their brethren's plight. "Oh my god!" Scott thought, "Is that a pig in a purple evening gown?" Jean tugged on his arm to get his attention.

            "Scott," she said in a low voice, "Those are the creatures I saw in Remy's mind. 'Mutant puppets' he said." Just then a giant, hairy monster stepped into view. He had bulging eyes along with huge lips and teeth. The monster bent down and reached for Bobby.

            "Hold it, Sugah. You don't touch the Popsicle!" yelled Rogue.

            "Indeed, it would be a shame for us to leave him to your, no doubt, nefarious ministrations," said Beast. The monster regarded Rogue and Beast, a confused expression on its face.

            "My name is Sweetums, not Sugah and I love you guys," it said in a deep voice. He swept the two of them into a bear hug of epic proportions, then put them down before either had the chance to react.

            "Excuse me," said a polite voice next to Scott. He looked over, and then down. It was a talking frog.

            "Yes?" Scott said, in a voice slightly higher then he would have liked.

            "I am Kermit the Frog, at your service." Kermit bowed. "We, the Muppets, have come to meet the great defenders of justice, the X-men." Scott noticed that all the Muppets had gathered round. The X-men were outnumbered three to one. He hoped there weren't anymore wandering about the mansion.
