Muppet Oneshots + Drabbles

How they react to you playing their instrument

(Mayhem Edition)

Dr. Teeth - You thought it would be fun to try and play on Dr. Teeth's keyboard. He always said you had permission to play as long as Animal doesn't wreck it. And the only song you know is chopsticks, so you play that. By chance, the good Doctor had heard you all the way from the living room and a grin would climb onto his lips. He's happy that you're having fun with his instrument of choice, and given a chance to try it out for the heck of it. But playing chopsticks three times straight gets annoying and he finally walks to ya when you stopped the third time. Then, you need to let the real master go at it. 

Sgt Floyd Pepper - Sure, you can play it, but only when he's in the room with you. He's had a bad experience at Woodstock where someone took one of his acoustic guitars without him knowing and pawned it away. Despite his worry, he'd be happy to let you test out his strings yourself. It would remind him of his younger days, constantly reminding you on where to put your fingers and how to stop the bass from ringing too long. He's happy that you're experimenting with his instrument, though he stops when Animal asks to play it. 

Janice - Similar to Dr. Teeth, she's chill with you playing her ax. Whenever you pick it up, you can practically feel her calm and happy aura radiating off of it. She even said that her guitar had a bright aura when in your hands. Though, if you really want to get a good experience with the guitar, you need to have incense, crystals, and a groovy hangout to get the same vibes. Janice will gladly provide you with those items, and she'll even cleanse your negative aura for free! She even gives you a small concert for you to observe.

Zoot - First, very confused how you got his saxophone, even though he laid it on the couch. Out in the open. Though he's a bit out of it and on the verge of falling asleep, he gets your fingers in the correct position. You can just play the base notes for now, but he drifts to sleep anyways, finding your level 1 playing soothing. When he wakes up again, he resumes teaching you a bit more through his drowsiness. But he's mumbling most of it. That doesn't matter though because you're happy you're doing something fun together. He's even awake longer since he likes the bonding time.

Lips - He had taken out his trumpet to polish it when you asked to play it. A bit hesitant at first, he agrees as long as you promise that he can take you out for lunch. With the deal sealed, he hands his brass instrument to you and instructs you how to hold it. It takes a bit of adjusting, but you eventually have your fingers on the keys and your lips at the mouthpiece. He loves seeing you trying his trumpet, even though very few notes came out of the instrument. You're happy that he trusts you enough to play one of his prized possessions.

Animal - Animal is ecstatic that you would want to play his drums! No lessons needed, just grab the drumsticks and play! It doesn't even have to be coherent, just bang on his drum set. Go wild!
