'Hey chief' Scooter raced to his boss and the producer Kermit the Frog ecstatically.
'Ah hi yes scooter?' Kermit said as he added more sugar cubes to his tea.
'Y'think maybe we're ugh...running a little low on people to help out with the show?'
'No not really I think we got enough staff to keep this up why?'
'Well...Know Since Um Janice and Floyd are engaged..'
'Scooter what does that have to do with hiring new people for the show?!'
'Well since they'll be busy making wedding and honeymoon plans the whole band will likely need extra help getting set up tuning and take down and making sure amps mikes and speakers work'
'Oh you mean like stage grips we got a load of those scooter'
'Well yeah but I mean specifically for the band and their instruments you know their instruments need good extra care!'
'Oh yeah I guess you're right. I never would have thought of that Scooter that's a good suggestion why don't you create some advertisements with information to put that out there and we'll have interviews set up.'
'Yes sir!..um uh do we seriously need interviews for such a simple Job like this?'
'Well better safe then sorry we can't just hire a random person off the street'
'True enough'
A couple weeks had gone by and still no luck at finding anybody. The band heard about Scooters idea in a meeting to hire stage grips for them to help take weight off of Janice and Floyd's shoulders and were really very up to it.
'Hey Scoots! Any calls of interest yet?' Floyd asked as he rested his arm around Janice's shoulders as they sat in the staff room couch.
'No Floyd no one yet..'
'Like wow rully? I'm surprised like I thought Fer sure there would be people lining up outside ABC studios. We're the freaking groovy hip Muppets!' Janice said.
'Yeah people would kill to even breathe the same air as pork rinds!' Floyd said as the three of them laughed
'No kidding well we'll prob get someone at some point' Scooter said.
'Yeah' Janice said as she rested her chin on her fiancés shoulder taking his hand resting on her shoulder.
Scooters phone began to ring and a text from Kermit saying
'Scooter Can You Please See Me In My Office?'
'Oh boy' Scooter said as he froze. When Kermit called you to see him in the office it usually meant one thing a good percentage of the time that you did some thing that pissed Miss Piggy off causing her to tell Kermit.
'What's wrong?' Floyd asked
'Kermit wants me to go speak to him...in his office..' Scooter rolled his eyes
'Tick her off? Huh?' Floyd said giggling stroking Janice's hair as she responded too with
'Oooh typical we've all done at some point that don't take it personally  like Kermit is gentle about it and will help you to improve he'd know cuz like dated her for god knows how long'
'How did he stay with her so long?..we dunno or understand why' said Floyd
'I know well I better go see if that's what it is! Wish me luck' Scooter said
'It'll be groovy man' Floyd said
'Yeah don't sweat it' Janice replied
'Easy for you guys you're the hippies you are the least dramatic ones here! It's all about peace and love' Scooter said as they laughed and he made his way into Kermit's office.
'What's going on? Is everything ok?'
Kermit chuckled 'You're not here for another 'Don't make Piggy angry' lecture This is gonna be good news'
'Oh good what is it?'
'We've got ourselves a possible new Band Stage Hand!'
