Well, this is different! LOL It's just a silly story based on Jim Henson's Muppets! Enjoy!
Sitting on the beach, as the sun sets, Kermit leans back on his elbows pondering the events of the day. He kicks up one flipper and gazes longingly into the sky above, as it slowly fades from dark blue to black. The stars begin to sparsely appear, announcing their daybue, as the green fellow takes a deep breath and mumbles, "Well, I guess Id better get this over with." Reluctantly, he rises to his flippers, straightens his collar, and makes his way over to the edge of the water, where a lone, chubby, snouted, silhouette, stands silently sulking.
"Piggy," Kermit begins, "Its not that I dont want to commit! Its just that--well--the thought of marriage scares me!"
"Yah, well...well thats all well and good, frog," Piggy growls without looking at him, "but youve broken one to many promises to me! Im through! Done!" She drops her head and begins to cry, "Finished..."
"Awe, Piggy! I never made any promises to you."
"You did so, flipper face" she yells, rediscovering her anger. "You said we could get married if we sold the show on Broadway!"
"Piggy!" Kermit bellows, loosing his composure, "That was a movie! We were acting! It was scripted and rehearsed and...arrr" Kermit takes a breath, composes himself, and continues. "It wasnt real, Piggy."
"Real! REAL! Ill show you real! Hii-Yahh!" With one powerful pork-chop, Piggy sends Kermits tiny body sailing over the dunes and into Scooters sand castle. Kermit shakes himself off, apologizes to Scooter, and jogs the 100 yards back to where Miss Piggy stands brooding;
"Thats it, Piggy! Were through." He gasps, trying to catch his breath, "Through, Piggy! Through! Through! I never want to see your snout again! You bore me, Piggy! Get it? Bore me! Ive had it Piggy! Youre always hogging all the interviews, squealing about things that have never happened between us! Im sick of wallowing in your muck! Its time for me to venture out on my own, Piggy! Its time for me to get out from under your big, hefty shadow, and shine!"
With that, he turns and stomps off, not noticing the tears in Piggys eyes, or the quivering of her lower lip. He doesnt see her lift her hand slightly, and he doesnt hear her shaky voice as she tries to form the words "Good Bye". For so long, she had known how he felt. For so long, she had hurt deep inside because she knew he wasnt happy--but now, he is free...now he can live the life he was always meant to live--unattached to mud-holes and slop buckets, pigs feet and hogs jowls!
She raises her head and looks up. The sky has deepened in its darkness, and the stars are stretched upon it before her--innumerable, full of light, and twinkling with life. Through her tears, a smile emerges! Kermit would finally be happy! "Now he can reach those stars", she whispers, "Shine, my love, shine!"
