Muppet Freelance Police On Vacation

Chapter 3: "Curse of the Faceless Robot"

Kermit and his pals has gone on one hell of a road trip, going on adventures along the way, like travelling with an inventor and a car, helping Superman, Batman, Blossom, Granny and heroes catch a recipe stealing criminal known as Meowth, and helped Twilight Sparkle and Ben Mare saved Equestria from a monster named Crud. There are a lot more monsters but that will take all day to explain.

"Well, guys, that was one hell of a trip for but I think we're due for a tune-up." Kermit explains to his pals. It's true, the Desoto, which has a boxed of stuffed piñata on top of it (which with contraband that the gang managed to smuggled from Mexico) is making noises. It needs some a tune-up before the Muppet Freelance Police can finally head on home.

"What luck, there's a gas station with a mechanic place." Fozzie said as the Desoto is heading towards a garage nearby where a robot named X5 is at a desk smoking....something.

"Great, I have to use the ugly ass bathroom!" Animal growls a bit. He is in need of a bathroom big time.

"Here, use their special tongs for anything you have to handle." Rowlf said, giving a pair of tongs to Animal. The restroom can be a dangerous place.

Once the Freelance Police stop their car inside the garage, Animal got out to head over to the rest room. As the others called out, Gonzo calls out, "Hey! Robot Goodcrank! We just got back from a thrilling and dangerous multi-thousand mile road-trip!"

"Yep! There are horrible, grinding metal sounds coming from under the hood." Kermit explains to X5 with a nod. "I tried turning the radio on but that didn't work at all."

X5 nods as he opens the hood, looking underneath while working to see what the problem is. The robot looks up, "Aha. I see what's the problem is. There hasn't been any oil or transmission fluid in this car for days. This will be very expensive. Glad you came by."

"Is there any popsicle machine around here?" Fozzie ask, looking around for any Popsicle machine. X5 got out a paper on a pad, holding it to Kermit for him to sign.

"Also, the block's cracker. It's a pretty ugly scene all over the place. Better sign this blank work order."

As Kermit got to work on signing the place, Animal came back with a box of candy. The frog smile as he ask, "So how about it, Animal?"

"Dark like a cave and there aren't any toilets, just black smoking holes in the walls and floor." Animal explains to his friends growling. "Giant roaches howled like souls of the damned while skittering along the moldering grout-work!"

"Ah. So did you wash your dirty hands then?"

A while later, the Muppet Freelance Police head out of the garbage as they head to a nearby mall. Rowlf smiles as he explain, "I think that robot told us to come back later. How about we wander through this new mall for a while waiting?"

"Yeah, sweet! We can look at folks we're glad we aren't." Rizzo said with an eager smile. The rat wants to make fun of folks who aren't him!

Fozzie looks at Gonzo who hasn't said a word throughout the chapter so far. Noticing his sad look, the bear ask, "Gonzo, why are you feeling so blue?"

"I already am blue, Fozzie." Gonzo reminds Fozzie with a sigh.

"What I meant was...why are you so sad?"

"Haven't you heard? Leonard Nimoy AKA Mr. Spock has just died."

"Oh yeah; Mr. Spock." Rizzo said with a sigh. The Muppets heard the sad news. Poor Mr. Spock. He will be missed.

"So...let's give the Vulcan Salute in his memory." Kermit said as the Muppet Freelance Police gives out the Vulcan Salute in memory of the actor who played Mr. Spock.

"Me miss Leonard Nimoy." Animal growls out to his pals in sadness.

Rowlf pats Animal on the back, saying, "Me, too, Animal. Me, too."

The Muppets decide to hit the mall, wanting to cheer themselves up. The place is busy, with folks going into stores, buying stuff, talking, eating, etc. The place is impressive with crap that the guys will never need.

"Wow, look at all the ways to buy crap we'll never need!" Kermit exclaims, impressed by the area.

"Yeah! I love crap we will never need, that's my favorite kind of crap!" Gonzo exclaims with a mad laugh.

Suddenly the area begins to swirl around as stuff begins to happen for unknown reason. Rowlf confused ask, "Hey, what's going on? Some kind of dream sequence that isn't important to us?"

"Just a lame swirling montage of the events of the days or some other nonsense." Rizzo remarks, smirking as he runs forward. "Come on! Let's climb aboard!"

And so the Muppets find themselves in a weird montage, lame and swirling. The gang are seen eating food with Gonzo commenting excitedly, "Yahoo! Food of all nations!"

"A cultural melting pot!" Kermit remarks as he eats some pizza with flies on it (don't ask!). "Someone pass the Fritos!"

In another part, the Muppets are trying out some clothes (which they will never use later). Rowlf checks his suit, asking, "Our new fashion statement?"

"Not bloody likely...unless snow-clones are being served in Hell right about now." Animal laughs, checking out his new suit.

The Muppets are now seen checking out a gift card, looking around for stuff they won't need. Fozzie smiles as he points, adding, "Hey, guys! Another gift card and chintzy gift store, whatever "chintzy" is.

"And here's a cuddly officially toy of yours truly to stick in a car window! Wow, isn't it cute? It's even wearing the skin of a Garfield doll!" Gonzo exclaims, pointing at a toy that mysteriously looks like him somehow. "Pinch me, someone pinch me."

"Okay, so maybe this is a dream sequence." Rizzo said, rolling his eyes at the idea of a toy that looks like Gonzo.

----------------

Long story short? The montage is finally over. The guys are sitting near a garden part with Animal sitting on a bench, smoking for some reason. They got bags of stuff that they will never need anyway. What a day!

"Well, here we are, hanging out after a rewarding day at the mall." Kermit said, leaning against a railing in satisfaction.

"Yep! I brought a lot of intense crap I will never need." Rizzo remarks with a chuckle while taking a smoke himself. "And let me tell ya, guys, I am very pleased about it."

Rowlf yelps as he smacks the cigarettes from Rizzo and Animal, snapping, "Hey, you guys don't smoke! What the hell are you two doing?!'

"Sorry! I got caught up in the moment!"

"Well, time to leave, fellows." Kermit said as he picks his bags up. The Desoto should be fixed by now. Time for the Muppets to ditch the mall and head out.

"Yeah, we're trying to look cool, so cheap, teenage bimbos will come by to take me home, washing my socks and make me chocolate milk...as well as dig the wax out of my ears with one big Q-Tip!" Gonzo exclaims, laughing madly.

The Muppet Freelance Police leaves the mall with Fozzie and Rowlf quickly dragging Gonzo out. Rizzo remarks, "We had to get you out of there. I think you're losing it more so than usual."

"Right, losing it. That's what happening..."

The gang reaches the garage as X5 got their car done, job complete. Kermit satisfied spoke, "Hi ho, Mr. X5! So how much do we have to owe you? Mucho filthy lucre or something like that!"

"Well, we had to drop in a rebuilt engine transmission, upper and lower ball joins, control arm bushings, star-nosed spring cog strut ballast hydraulic cam shaft softener, all that stuff." X5 explains as he adds the price. The robot shows the work order while continuing, "The total is $4658.72. Here's your signature on the work order. Heh heh."

"Whoa, whoa! We don't have that cash!" Fozzie exclaims to X5 in shock. The price is high! "We probably never will!"

"Bad man, you're a very man!" Animal growls angrily as he grabs the hose for the air pump.

"Hey, kid! Stop playing with that!" X5 exclaims in alarm. However the robot yelps as Animal put the pump into X5's mouth and soon finds himself blowing up like a balloon...in a robot body!

"Ever seen anything like this, guys?" Rizzo ask, laughing at what's happening to X5. That will teach him to charge the Muppet Freelance Police a lot of money.

Kermit glances at the inside of the engine, then at the stuff nearby. The frog ask with a shrug, "Well, what do you know? I guess we do need all that stuff. Hey, Animal? I think you need to stop inflating that poor boy."

"Stop? Whatcha mean "stop"?" Animal ask Kermit as if the frog was speaking another language to him.

Gonzo shrugs as he grabs the air hose from Animal and pulls it out of X5's mouth. The robot begins blowing around like mad, sending out a lot of air. The gang cringes at how bad his breath smell, yelping, "Eeeeewww!"

"Wow, feel kind of bad about this." Fozzie remarks, feeling bad for what is happening to poor X5.

The Muppets wait until X5 lands on the ground, blowing out of the last of the air in his mouth. Kermit takes the box of piñata off the car and passed it off to the robot, speaking, "Well, here's some stuff we smuggled over from the Mexican border, sealed up in these festive piñata." X5 takes the box, looking at it while glancing at our heroes who are going back in the Desoto. "Hopefully the street value will more than cover the cost of the repair job you did. Bye now! Sorry about what happened! Honest!"

X5 blinks as he opens the piñata, finding the stuff to be Mexican frog band toys. This stuff is going to cover the repair job?

"Well, where to guys?" Gonzo ask as the Desoto are now leaving the garage, heading on its way.

"Home at last, Gonzo...but first, a quick stop at Wooldoor's for a tall glass of maple syrup." Kermit remarks, licking his lips. All that shopping has made him hungry.

"So what, didn't think of buying food while we're at the mall?" Rowlf ask Kermit, laughing a bit.

-------------

Muppetopolis is still there by the time the Muppet Freelance Police had finally returned. The crime rate has risen with no heroes to stop it...but now the guys are back, they are ready and willing to kick some butt!

The Muppets celebrate their return by highway surfing...as in standing on the top of Desoto, riding it as if surfing down the highway. Kermit has one foot on the roof while keeping one flipper on the wheel.

"Hey, Kermit! I didn't know you were good at this!" Rizzo exclaims, impressed by Kermit's highway surfing.

"Rizzo, I have been doing highway all my life." Kermit explains eagerly as he kept on highway surfing. "It's one way to finish off one successful road trip!"

"As well as bring joy to the hearts of passing bus load of sweating tourists!" Gonzo laughs, riding the hoof while waving to a bus full of tourists, confusing them with his antics.

"Ha! You bust me up, Gonzo!"

The End
