Cherry's Adventures of The Muppet Christmas Carol

chapter 1

Our story begins in a world different from the one we all know from today as it was the middle of winter, near the end of December with the adventure group leading different lives in a very different time period. It was just about Christmas time for everybody and everybody was happy. Well, mostly everybody.

"Oh, it's almost time for Christmas." Mo smiled.

"Monique, dear, would you like to visit your father at work?" A female pig asked Mo. "I'm sure he'll be happy to see you before he comes home to be with your brothers and sisters for Christmas."

"Yes, Mother, I'll go visit," Mo smiled before mumbling to herself. "As long as that Mr. Scrooge isn't near him."

"Should one of us come with you?" Patch asked Mo.

"Aww, hello, doggy." Mo smiled as she pet him.

"Where did that dog come from anyway?" The pig woman, known as Emily Cratchit, asked.

"I don't know, but maybe he could keep me company." Mo smiled hopefully to her adoptive mother.

"Hmm... Well, I suppose..." Mrs. Cratchit replied. "As long as he doesn't make any of us sick, especially your youngest brother, Tiny Tim."

"Oh, I'm quite sure that he won't." Mo smiled.

"Patch?! Patch?!" Atticus's voice called out.

Patch panted happily as he rushed off.

"Oh! Wait!" Mo called out as she went after the dog.

"That girl sometimes..." Mrs. Cratchit murmured to herself as she walked off back into their house.

"Oh, where did he go this time?" Atticus frowned.

"Hi!" Patch's voice said before he hopped up and tackled Atticus into the snow, licking his face.

"There you are!" Atticus smiled and laughed.

"Sorry, I got a little lost." Patch smiled back.

"Ready for work?" Atticus asked.

"Yeah... Though... Your boss..." Patch said nervously. "He scares me..."

"Oh, Mr. Scrooge isn't that scary," Atticus replied. "Sure he's a little rough around the edges, but he's... Erm... Not that bad."

"But he never let's me stay inside." Patch frowned.

"I'll hide you in my bag." Atticus offered.

"He'll find me." Patch pouted.

"I'll make sure he doesn't." Atticus replied.

"A-Alright." Patch frowned.

Atticus decided to hide Patch away.

"Hello, there." Mo smiled at him.

"Gah! Oh... Hello, Monique Cratchit..." Atticus smiled bashfully as he held his bag close.

"Please, Atticus, call me Mo." Mo replied.

"It's great to see you, Mo." Atticus smiled bashfully.

"It's good to see you too," Mo smiled back. "Are you still at work with my father?"

"Um, yes, I am," Atticus replied. "I better get going for my shift."

"Good luck at work and wish my father luck as well as the other workers." Mo smiled.

"I will, Mo," Atticus smiled back. "I look forward to a special Christmas dinner though. It'll make all my hard work worth it once we're all off for tomorrow."
