The reason Kermit was against the idea of the Muppets setting out somewhere in the school to work with the New Directions was a no brainer. Wherever the Muppets go, some sort of mess or mischief was sure to be made.
Kurt was first to find out. He and Blaine were with Beaker trying to find a song to sing for just the three of them.
"As much as I love the Muppets, I originally wanted to work with Michael Buble for this" said Blaine. "Perhaps we could sing one of his songs to honor my original idea."
"How about something by Andrew Lloyd Webber? I've been on an ALW fix lately" Kurt replied.
"I think we should let our little Muppet friend decide. What do you think, Beaker?"
Kurt and Blaine looked to Beaker, who was a little nervous at first with all the attention. But then he reached into a pocket in his coat and pulled out a CD and gave it to Kurt with a 'meep'.
"What did he give you?" Blaine asked.
"Looks like we're doing ALW after all" Kurt said, showing that the CD was a soundtrack to "Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat".
At that point, a distant voice called out:
"Oh Beakie!"
It was Dr. Bunsen Honeydew himself, looking as merry and eager as ever with a case containing as-of-yet unknown objects.
"There you are! Hello boys, I take it my wayward assistant has been of great assistance to you for your gala performance."
"Yes he was, Dr. Bunsen" Kurt answered.
"Glad to hear, he's always been of great assistance to me too. In fact…"
Bunsen began to open his case, revealing several fuzzy dolls that immediately caught Kurt's eye.
"Oh my god!" he cried, "Sooo cute! What are they?"
"I have been researching how many teens and children love to collect seemingly whimsical yet functionally redundant toys and knick-knacks" Bunsen began, "and so we at Muppet Labs have concocted our own contribution to the lucrative chase. Behold: Muppet Labs' collectible and adorable… 'Bitty-Bunsies'!"
The mad Muppet doctor picked one up to reveal that the toy was a small Bunsen head with wacky hair.
"Best part is, each 'Bitty-Bunsie' has a different surprise awaiting the lucky consumer who graciously pats it on the head, as my WILLING assistant shall demonstrate…"
Upon cue, Beaker whimpered and tried to run off, but was grabbed by his superior.
"Stop acting like a baby, Beaker" Bunsen scolded, "especially since these WERE designed for children 4 and up!"
With no other choice, Beaker patted the head of one 'Bitty-Bunsie' and received an electric shock to the surprise of the two teens' surprise.
"Whoah! Is he alright?" asked Blaine, looking at the stunned Muppet twitching on the ground.
"He's just overtaken by how cute our new 'Bitty-Bunsies' are, my boy" Bunsen replied. "Young master Kurt, why don't you try one?"
He handed one with a fluffy green mop of hair.
"That one ought to be less painful, I think…"
Kurt looked at the toy, then at Beaker, then lastly at Blaine and Bunsen.
"Here goes nothing…" he said.
Kurt patted the green haired object, and received no electrical current. Instead, the thing began to vibrate and emit steam from its round ears. Then it looked as if its little mouth was opening up. Before anyone could react, the 'Bitty-Bunsie' shot out a massive stream of green slime, covering poor Kurt in its unidentifiable substance!
"Oh my…" Bunsen said in surprise," that wasn't meant to happen. I specifically designed that one to activate hidden rocket engines and send it and the user sky-high! Oh well, I have plenty more inventions where that came from. Speaking of which, I invented one that may benefit your performance levels during the show! I shall return with it later."
With that, Dr. Honeydew went running off, leaving a bewildered Blaine and slimed Kurt to look at each other and question what just happened.
"I feel like I've been to Nickelodeon…" Kurt murmured.
He then turned to Beaker, who had recovered from his zapping. Beaker handed him a napkin, then slowly sunk his cylinder head into his collar in sympathy.
The cafeteria wasn't safe from the Muppets' silliness either.
On the cafeteria line, the lunch lady was taken by surprise as a massive, furry, brown Muppet had just greeted her. It was Bobo the Bear.
"Hello there" he said, "I'm Bobo the Bear and I've come to, how shall I say this, taste your wares." He chuckled as he quietly noted to himself he should become a poet since he made a few rhymes.
"Fine..." the displeased lunch lady replied. "Today's special is salisbury steak."
The giant Muppet bear looked at the price, $7.99, and looked back up at her.
"Got anything...cheaper?"
"Macaroni and cheese, $5."
"Got anything cheaper?"
"Medium size drink, $3!"
"Got anything cheaper?"
"Potato chips, $1.99!"
"...got anything CHEAPER?"
The lunch lady had it up to here with Bobo when a fly came into her view. Empowered by her frustration, she swatted it dead in one blow, flipped it onto a plate, and slammed it in front of him.
"A fly...FOR FREE! Now SCRAM!"
"Gee...thanks ma'am" the bear quietly said. "Oh and by the way, I think you have an admirer."
The lunch lady turned around and saw none other than the Swedish Chef with a bouquet wrapped around a spatula, waving at her with an amorous "Hurdy-ho..." to his smile.
The football field was a different story.
Finn and Puck were working on a number with the Electric Mayhem, prominently featuring Animal, when they overheard a mighty tiff coming from across. Apparently, some younger students were tossing a football and three Muppet monsters, Gene the Behemoth, David the Luncheon Counter Monster, and Mo the Frackle, intervened when one of the students said the word "pigskin" to describe the ball. Now the two bigger monsters were fighting over who would get to eat the ball as Mo watched nervously and quietly!
"It's MY pigskin! I'm hungry!" cried David.
"No, it's MY pigskin! I'm hungrier!" shouted Gene.
Finn and Puck watched with concern, meanwhile Animal watched with excitement.
"What can we do to stop this?" Finn asked.
"No stop! No stop!" Animal cried.
"Hmm..." Dr. Teeth pondered as he and the other Mayhem members watched with interest, "the Doc KNOWS that what the Doc SEES requires a posilute professional! Oh SWEETUMS!"
In an instant, Sweetums came up from behind the two quarreling Muppets and took the ball right out of their hands/paws.
"You're both wrong" he growled, "it's MY pigskin!"
And with that, he stuck the ball in his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp much to the young students' shock.
"He ate the ball!" exclaimed one of the students.
"Y-y-y-you're lucky..." stammered Mo. "The last time he visited a football field, he ate half the team! AND a cheerleader!"
Speaking of cheerleaders, Santana and Brittany weren't able to pick who they got to work with, for one certain king prawn made the move first. Pepe decided that he and Santana would do a salsa dance together while Brittany added her own brand of "special effects".
"Eh, Brittneez...I don't tink rainbow sprinkles are good for our number okay..."
She kept throwing them around as they danced, and they were the dessert type of sprinkles for that matter so they kept gumming up Santana's stillettos.
"Santana, could jou tell jer friend to stop?"
"Brittany, dear?" Santana calmly asked. "Could you PLEASE ease off on the sprinkles?"
Brittany just smiled and threw some that got in her hair, much to Pepe's quick-witted amusement.
"Well, jou ARE quite a cupcake okay!" he cracked, "I could just eat jou up!"
But as soon as he was to make a seemingly sexual move on her, Rizzo the Rat entered.
"Ritzo! Oh, eh, weren't jou helping out Gonco wit heez act?"
"No way! After he mentioned he was going to include gasoline tank diving in his Hawaiian hula rap number, I wanted out! A buddy of mine lost a relative to that sort of stuff. Poor, poor Mario, he was told living under a gas pump was dangerous..."
Brittany gave the dejected rat a hug.
"Aww, thanks sweetie. Do I smell ice cream on you?"
"It's the sprinkles" she replied.
"Close enough" he said as he began picking at the floor at all the discarded sprinkles.
"You're cute, I should introduce you to Lord Tubbington."
Rizzo and Pepe both perked up, "Whoah, you know royalty?"
"It's not what you think..." Santana muttered.
"He's my cat!" Brittany brightly beamed.
Rizzo immediately took back his enthusiasm and ran for his life, calling out to Gonzo that he changed his mind.
It seemed that nowhere on campus was safe from the Muppets and their uncanny ability to cause some sort of unrest even in the most peaceful of settings. Kermit and Will walked down the halls as chickens and penguins wandered the halls aimlessly and/or interracted with random students and faculty. Kermit just shook his head at the mess he knew would occur, Will stood there speechless. Then out of nowhere, a familiar voice spoke up.
"Schuester! Mr. Frog! In my office, immediately!"
Kermit and Will gulped, what Figgins could possibly want with them was a little bit both a no-brainer and anybody's guess. The question was which of them was it more of...
