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!

In dedication to a guest called Dardra because I was going to give this fanfiction up until she reviewed me and said that it was good. Thank you!

Scooter is sitting at his desk giving orders to a rat, Jasmine and Axel walk up to him.

Scooter: [To the rat] Yep, milk and two sugars please. And be quick about it.

Axel: Scooter! Hey buddy.

Scooter: Oh, hiya kids. You know, when I was employed here as a gofer, I never imagined that I'd have other people fetching stuff for me.

Jasmine: That's Rizzo. You know, the rat guy. Dad would kill you if he found out what you're doing.

Scooter: Oh... [He looks regretful, Axel grins at him]

Axel: Hey, don't worry. We're not snitches.

Scooter: [Looks relieved] Thanks guys. So, what did you come here for?

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

Scooter: Sure!

Jasmine: OK, so, first question: What is your role in the Muppets?

Scooter: Well, I was the gofer when I first started as a teen, I would run around fetching things and doing errands for people. But after I was a bit older, I got promoted to a secretary and basically, Kermit's second-in-command. He relied on me a lot.

Axel: So that's your job, what's your role as a character?

Scooter: Well, when I first started, my uncle owned the whole theatre, so I guess you could say that I was the spoilt one of the group.

Jasmine: Why?

Scooter: Well, Kermit didn't think much of me at first, but I only had to play the U-card and I got whatever I wanted.

Axel: The U-card?

[Jasmine and Scooter look at him like he's stupid]

Axel: What?

Jasmine: One last question. So you're normal,

Scooter: I hope so

Jasmine: Do you enjoy working with loads of weirdos?

Scooter: Oh yeah! It's great fun! When I was a kid I always imagined myself stuck in a boring old office job. I didn't even know places like this existed, but once I'd discovered that work could be fun, well it was just brilliant.

Jasmine: Never a dull moment in the Muppet Theatre, right?

Scooter: Definitely!

Axel: [grumbles] And don't we know it.

[Jasmine sighs]

Jasmine: Downer. [To Scooter] Well, we'd better be going. See you.

Scooter: Bye, kids.
