Behind The Scenes At The Muppet Theatre

by Lil' Fizz

Story 2. Kermit and Miss Piggy's two children, Axel and Jasmine have been set a school project to make a presentation about their home. But instead of making a PowerPoint or a boring old booklet, they decided to grab a camera and make a film of it! Prepare to see the Muppet Theatre like you've never seen it before, through the eyes of two excitable, boisterous children!

2. Rowlf the Dog

Hello everyone! So all the chapters (except the last one) will be in play format. Also, the Muppets in this are in no particular order, just the order that looked right.

Rowlf is playing his piano in his dressing room. Axel and Jasmine peer through the crack in the door. They do not make any noise however, Rowlf hears them immediately.

Rowlf: Yes?

Jasmine: Hiya, Rowlf.

[Jasmine and Axel enter the room]

Axel: Are you busy?

Rowlf: Well... [The piano music stops] I was practicing but, what can I do you for?

Jasmine: Well we're doing this project for school you see and we were wondering...could we interview you?

Rowlf: Interview? I guess so. Wouldn't you wanna see the boss instead? [referring to Kermit]

Axel: Yeah, why aren't we interviewing Mum or Dad first?

Jasmine: Patience, Axel. I've got it all planned out. [she taps a piece of paper] So Rowlf, [she turns to Rowlf] what is your role in the Muppets?

Rowlf: Well, I'm a pianist. That means someone who plays piano. I haven't got a very important role or anything backstage, and I've tried countless times to get into the band, Electric Mayhem, but I'm always declined because I'm not 'cool' enough.

Jasmine: Aww. That's sad. I think you're cool Rowlf!

Rowlf: Well thank you.

Axel: So Rowlf, you're the first person we've interviewed so far so we just want to know, what is it like to be a Muppet?

Rowlf: Well, I can tell you one thing, it's extremely random. Performing alongside nutters like Fozzie and Gonzo, sometimes I honestly feel like I'm the only sane one here.

Axel: I know how you feel.

Jasmine: So on a different note; you played the part of Dr Bob on Vetenerian's hospital in the Muppet Show didn't you? But you're not actually a doctor are you?

Rowlf: No. And a good thing too! All Dr Bob ever did was sit around and tell jokes!

Jasmine: Yeah, I remember that. And one final question, do you ever feel like no-one really takes you seriously because you're a dog?

Rowlf: Not really. I used to get that with humans, but here at the Muppet Theatre, I'm working alongside frogs, pigs and bears so I'm not exactly disadvantaged.

Axel: Thanks Rowlf, we're finished now.

Rowlf: OK, bye.

Sorry that was kinda boring; it's just that it's hard to find inspiration from such a boring guy (no offence Rowlf). But I will try to make the next chapter funnier than this one.

Peace!
