Hiya guys, I'm aware that any of you who have read my recent fanfic won't be able to take this seriously, but please keep in mind that this fanfic takes place four years before the one I've just written with Sapphire in it so that's why Axel acts differently towards Sam in this one. I actually wrote this chapter a while ago but am only uploading it now because I've edited it. Sapphire is mentioned in this but I won't spoil anything (for once!)
Sam is sitting at his desk doing unknown, boring stuff. Axel and Jasmine walk up to his desk and stand looking expectant at him.
Axel: Sam?
[No reply]
Jasmine: Sam, we need to talk to you.
[Still no reply. Sam doesn't react]
Jasmine and Axel: Saaaaaam? Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, S-
Sam: [snaps] What?
Jasmine: Can we interview you?
Sam: Interview? No, I don't think so.
Axel: Oh, pleeeeeeeease, Sam!
Jasmine: Please, please?
Sam: It would be undignified and unpatriotic.
Jasmine: Oh, go on, Sam!
Sam: I would if you two weren't stupid, unimportant school-children.
Jasmine: How dare you! I'm important! I'm Kermit the Frog's daughter!
[Sam looks unimpressed]
Axel: Pleeease let us interview you, Sam!
Jasmine and Axel: Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!
Sam: ALRIGHT! Alright, if you stop bothering me!
Jasmine and Axel: Yay! [High-five]
Sam: This'd better be quick; I have a lot to do.
Axel: It'll be quick anyway; we spent so much time begging you to let us interview you!
Jasmine: Huh. Well firstly, what is it like being a Muppet?
Sam: What? I'm not a Muppet! You don't seriously think that someone of my high status would-
Axel: Oh, shut up with your boring old patriotism, Sam.
Jasmine: Quite. So, if you're not a Muppet, what is your opinion on the oth- I mean, on the Muppets?
Sam: To be frankly honest, I think they're ridiculous.
Jasmine: What, all of them? Not just Gonzo?
Sam: No every single one. And yes, before you even ask, you two as well. In fact, at this current moment in time, you are, in my opinion, the most annoying in the whole theatre establishment.
Axel: [speechless, looks thunderstruck]
Jasmine: Right, well, moving swiftly on-
Axel: [interrupts] Actually Jasmine, I have a question for Sam. [To S am] If you hate it so much here, and you think everyone's so annoying, why are you still here? Why don't you just shove off?
Sam: [shrugs] I need the money to support my family.
Jasmine: You have a family?
Sam: Yes.
Jasmine: A wife?
Sam: Yes.
Axel: Children?
Sam: A little girl, yes.
Axel: How come you've never told anyone?
Sam: I don't have to tell everyone my life story, do I? I think it's none of your business.
Jasmine: Well tough! We're journalists now; it's our job to stick our noses into other people's business!
[Axel and Jasmine laugh. Sam gets up and leaves]
Jasmine: Hey, where are you going?
Sam: I've had enough of this foolishness, I'm off.
Jasmine: Aww, come on Sam!
[No reply]
Axel: Well, he wasn't much fun.
Jasmine: Yeah, let's go find someone more interesting to interview.
