Young Muppets on the Street

With his red hair and glasses Scooter stood out among the other young hustlers on the dark street corner.

Just around the block on Avenue Q stood a short youth the color of spring leaves. He wore a sailor suit, his eyes were large orbs. He spoke with a high pitched voice when the car approached.

“Hi, wassup?”

“Get in the vehicle young tadpole,” said the blue shaded bald, eagle eyed driver. Young Robin got in. Thinking to himself, “I sure wish my uncle hadn’t thrown me out last year”.

Around the block young Scooter also had a ‘client’, the furry red caped wearing purple/blue oddball said in a gravely high voice, “You are out so late tonight, their are monsters about I tell you, you should not be out here so late. Get into my car where you will be nice and warm.”

Young Robin got in the car and it sped past Scooter who was having second thoughts. But the large beaked driver got out hoisted the lad onto his shoulders and flung him into the car and proceeded to speed up the lonely street and out of sight.
