My English teacher assigned us this prompt a few months ago around Christmas; we had to write a narrative holiday tale about our favorite TV character. The story had to be a happy one, but I asked if I could write a sad one; here's the one I wrote for Kermit. Inspired by a scene from a Muppet Christmas Movie where Kermit was singing a Christmas like rendition of the Rainbow Connection. I replaced the song with another famous song of his, Just One Person.

My heart hurt with every step I took. I could barely keep myself from looking back to the theater. No one loved me there anymore, and I had to accept it. The harsh words exchanged back there stung my mind so much, what they had said about him. Fighting back tears in my eyes, I took refuge on a park bench. I pulled off my jacket and layed it down on the stone cold surface of the bench. The scarf I was clothed in wrapped around my neck tightly, yet it still danced slowly on the pavement. I laid my head down painfully as the joints in my body creaked with shame. My soul was practically shattered and devastated from tonight. I looked up to the cloudy winter stars above and recalled my memory. Memories of all the happy Christmases we shared as small children and how our Nanny used to exchange our presents. But mostly I longed for Jim; my creator. He who had held me up to the world to see for the first time. He who explained life through his eyes for me. He who was my heart and soul. I finally found myself singing. ''Just one person... can make a difference in this world... you and I must come together for the better and the worse... just one...'' I broke off and silently started weeping and gasping. My heart had finally cracked under pressure from it all and it had to come out. Not to Fozzie. Not to Gonzo. But to Jim up there in heaven, looking down at me. I felt like a hand was wiping away my tears. The kind hands pulled my hands from my face. The face was Jim's. He was smiling at me with warmth and belevolency. He held my hand in his and sat next to me. I hugged his chest and cried into it as if I was a child with a broken toy. He patted my back and told me he would always love me, if no one else would. I looked up at him; His eyes were the twinkling stars; his head the gentle moon; his smile the stretch of silver space; his beard and hair the galaxies. The halo reverberated shining light as angel's wings of his bathed me in warmth. And for a minute there, I felt loved. I didn't feel like Disney had me captured anymore. He then faded away, leaving me sleeping peacefully with a smile on my face and rose red cheeks. A voice reverberated gently in my head... it said to me;
''You and I will find, the Rainbow Connection...
The lovers...
The dreamers...
and me...''
