A Story In Need of a Name

[redpiggy]

The basic idea in a nutshell is that Kelly, a nurse, moved out of Hensonville to start a new life. That was two years ago. Things are finally looking good for her. She's managed to put her strange adventures in Hensonville behind her.

However, Cotterpin and her "construction partner" Wrench arrive. Kelly is curious how they arrived, but they mock her, as Fraggle Rock can make magical tunnels go everywhere.

But they traced her down on Facebook.



Anyway, it is their job to convince her to return to Hensonville.

Meanwhile, Angela is a resident of Hensonville. She and her roomies, through a set of strange scenarios, meet up with Kelly and her newly-acquired partners in adventure. Angela is eager to show off Hensonville, but circumstances lead them outside the town into the great beyond. What draws them? Are there any goals to the obligatory road trip? They start to film their experiences, planning on showing the documentary in Hensonville when they return. Will they have a successful showing? Will the documentary be all that's left of them? Are they going to ruthlessly parody The Muppets, etc?

Naturally ...

Kelly (sitting around her house, reading her new Kindle Spike got her for the holidays)

*Kelly's pet Labrador Retrievers, Bear and Sarah, become suspicious of a noise in the closet*

Kelly (opens the closet and tiny fireworks pop in front of her face as the tiny sound of a small motor revs, making her and the dogs jump back): Gah!

*A small roller-skate-sized motorized scooter dashes out. It is dark green with black ink lines sweeping over the hood of the vehicle. A Doozer is driving, with shoulder-length red hair viewable under a mask shaped like a black bird's head. Another Doozer sits behind her, with frizzy brown hair peeking out of a mask shaped like, well, Kelly couldn't tell exactly.*

Kelly (shocked, trying to keep Bear and Sarah from pawing at the Doozer visitors): Cotterpin?

Cotterpin (takes off her mask): Awww, what gave me away?

Kelly: What other Doozer would know who I am?

Cotterpin: -_- You got a point. Anyway, I didn't come here as Cotterpin.

Other Doozer: And I didn't come here as Wrench.

Cotterpin (growls): Wrench!

Wrench (hanging his head): Sorry.

Cotterpin: I came here as the Broad Brush. This here's my sidekick, Eraser.

Kelly (stifles a giggle): I thought it was Black Bird and Earthworm.

Cotterpin: -_- That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. *nods towards Bear* Don't get too close, pups: the Broad Brush will leave your teeth all black!

Bear (decides to leave and chew on a bone)

Sarah (sniffs Wrench, er, the Eraser)

Eraser: Why do these things always want to inhale me?

Broad Brush: Anyway, you haven't popped by Doozer Dome in over a year. What gives? Spike can't keep you THAT busy.

Kelly (blushes): We're not together anymore, actually. We still keep in contact, but I was dying too often for his tastes.

Broad Brush (dryly): Uh-HUH. Ooooookay, as Hensonville's newest superhero team, we demand that you return to Hensonville. Of course, you're gonna need a new superhero name. Phoenix is so Silent Hensonville, and then there was that Mizumi identity theft thing. You can be Typist.

Kelly: -_- Typist? What ... am I doing your paperwork?

Broad Brush: Well, we figured "Storyteller" was copyrighted. Oh, please, PLEASE say you'll come! Let me tell you what's going on ....

(The next scene will be what Angela and friends are up to so far.)

Angie: *painting her toenails* Anything new going on, Sal?

Sal Minella: Lemme finish. *reading the Newspaper* Oh, my... 'ey, Johnny?

Johnny Fiama: *waiting to get his shoes shined* Yeah, kid?

Sal Minella: Didja hear Etta James died?

Johnny Fiama: I think so... she died from leukemia? Righ'?

Sal Minella: *nods silently in respect*

Johnny Fiama: Mama Blues sure broke my heart... she was a wonderful singer. *hanging head*

Sal Minella: Are you all right, Johnny?

Johnny Fiama: *sniff* Leave me alone, Sal. Just shine my shoes, and leave me alone...

Sal Minella: ... okay, Johnny... I ... understand...

Link Hogthrob: *reclining his chair, trying to relax himself* ... *sigh* ... I don't know if I'll survive. Raquel got mad at me, then left with the baby...

Annie Sue: *comforting Link* It'll pass, Link. Hang in there.

Link Hogthrob: ... I hate divorce... I really hate spending my money... it's too expensive...

Annie Sue: *drapes her arms around Link, embracing* Is there anything I can do for you?

Link Hogthrob: One thing...

Annie Sue: ... yes... ?

Link Hogthrob: *pulls Annie Sue closer, puckering his lips* How about a kissy-kissy?

Annie Sue: *winces* ... how about I serve you your compact mirror?

Link Hogthrob: That's more like it, Annie Sue.

Annie Sue: *eyeroll, handing Link his compact mirror*

Link Hogthrob: *studying his visage* Thank you, my dear. *to self* Who's the most dashing in this picture... ? Me! *smirks at reflection, patting his cheeks with clean rouge*

Kelly (listening to the story): 'Pin?

Cotterpin (irritated): BROAD BRUSH -- and don't interrupt!

Kelly (sighs): How do you know what happened to Angela? Were you actually there?

Broad Brush (facepalms): Do I tell you how to write stories?

Kelly: Well, no, but I --.

Broad Brush: Then zip it, Typist! Anyway, as Link was engrossed, there was a phone call....

[Miss Linkie]

Angie gives Kelly another buzz...

Angie: Hello...? Kelly...? I'm wondering if you like to visit my apartment in Hensonville for the weekend? I now have Johnny Fiama, and Sal Minella residing with me, along with Annie Sue, and Link Hogthrob... oh, and didn't I tell you Link, and Raquel had a divorce? Yeah... their relationship ended ugly, and Raquel left with Baby Alistair to live back at her birthplace in South Carolina... she doesn't want to deal with Link's childish games anymore, but they still keep in contact, for Alistair's sake.

But, I'm wondering if you can make it? This weekend would be perfect, since Johnny's gonna do a tribute concert in homage to Etta James. It'll be great... oh-- and don't forget to bring your babies!

Johnny Fiama: *gently mourning... still* I. Wanted. Ta. Do. An. Album. With. Etta. James!

Linda Mezzo: *consoling her heart broken boyfriend* -.-

Sal Minella: Aw, Johnny, c'mon, buddy. Ya' can always do an album with Michael Buble.

Johnny Fiama: --'ts not a good time ta talk, Sal!

Sal Minella: ... I just wanted to help... *gulp*

Johnny Fiama: *sigh* I really needa get outta tis joint, an' take a vacation. My poor heart is throbbin'--

Link Hogthrob: Did anybody call for me?

Johnny Fiama: --no!

Link Hogthrob: Hey! Don't yell at me. It's a fact that my last name is my last name.

Sal Minella: ... we get it, Link...

Linda Mezzo: Link. Not right now with th' blahhin', Johnny's in dismay.

Johnny Fiama: Yeah, just ankle along like Michael Jackson, and beat it!

Link Hogthrob: *whines* Oh... D:

Johnny Fiama: *sigh* Angie--
