(TITLE CARD: A MUPPETS & NEVER FAIRIES SHORT)
(EXT. WORLD GLOBAL PAVILION INC. – NIGHT. The citizens at the WGP Winter Wonderland were all celebrating TOUR REVEL)
Sweetums: Let's party!
(The citizens, Muppets, and tourists were having huge parties at various pavilions, including the SWEDISH CHEF at the Alpine Lederhosen Factory in Berlin, Germany; the CHICKENS at Madrid's Teadro Confis in Spain, and BOBBLE and RIZZO THE RAT in the Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland)
(EXT. CHAMBER DOORS, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. The sign on top of the Keeper's chamber doors that says "WELCOME WARM CITIZENS" falls off)
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. It didn't expect the winter citizens; DEWEY, the Keeper; GLISS and SPIKE, KERMIT THE FROG, MISS PIGGY, SLED, the frost sparrowman, and the other primary MUPPETS (Fozzie, Walter, Rowlf, Animal, Gonzo, Scooter). They are all wearing party hats, and were waiting so long for the warm citizens to visit)
Gliss: Maybe they all want to be fashionably late? (CHUCKLES QUESTIONABLY)
Spike: Oh, face it, guys. No one's coming to our first winter party.
Kermit: This is gonna be the worst night of our lives.
(Just then, TINKER BELL karate chops the door open and jumps into the room, aflutter. Her sister, PERIWINKLE (wearing her periwinkle crown), TERENCE, and Tink's other fairy friends, ROSETTA, FAWN, SILVERMIST, IRIDESSA, and VIDIA, steps in too)
Tinker Bell: This is gonna be the best night of our lives!
(He realizes that Dewey, Gliss, Spike, the Muppets, and Sled are all looking depressed and terrible. Gliss blows the party horn)
Periwinkle: Oh, cheer up guys. We thought this might happen.
Rosetta: We presented her sister to Queen Clarion.
Fawn: We learn to change Lord Milori's crossing-the-border rule.
Silvermist: We save Pixie Oslo...
Iridessa: From the terrifying freezing flood!
Tinker Bell: And that is why we came prepared.
(Moments later, they brought a duffel bag, a walkie-talkie, and the door station, one of the inventions created by Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Bobble and Clank, which it looks like crossing the border)
Scooter: Oh, my gosh!
Rowlf: No one had a door station for that long.
Gonzo: Wow, you're really doing it, Kermit!
Miss Piggy: Remember, it's the same as crossing the Winter border.
Kermit: (SCREAMS) A door station! Where did you get a door station?
Tinker Bell: (On walkie-talkie) Pixie Dust to Throw Rug, come in. Are you in position?
(INT. BALLROOM, BUCKINGHAM PALACE – NIGHT. A huge party was in full swing. Peri set up another door station to the wall. There were two door stations)
Periwinkle: (On walkie talkie) Roger that, Pixie Dust.
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT.)
PERIWINKLE: Operation Disco Plaza is a go.
Kermit: Tink, what's going on?
Tinker Bell: Bup, bup, bup. Just wait.
(INT. BALLROOM, BUCKINGHAM PALACE – NIGHT. Link Hogthrob grabbed the soft drink from the cooler. Periwinkle quickly grabbed it and walks to the London door station. She carefully opened the door station)
(INT. BEDROOM, HUMAN WORLD – NIGHT. Peri knew that they need to keep quiet. The door had led into the bedroom of two couple, who were asleep. Carrying the cooler, she tiptoed quietly until someone snored. She opens the door, which led into...)
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. ...the Hall of Winter's great room)
Tinker Bell: We're not just gonna throw the biggest party of the year.
Periwinkle: (CHUCKLES) We're gonna steal it.
(Tink and Peri hold up soft drinks)
(INT. BALLROOM, BUCKINGHAM PALACE – NIGHT. DR. TEETH & THE ELECTRIC MAYHEM (Floyd, Janice, Zoot, and Lips) are in the conversation while Sled set up the trail of pizza on the floor)
Floyd: This goes totally ironed me, like all five others right ahead of me.
Dr. Teeth: I know. I saw that, too.
(Then they turned and saw pizza on the floor. They pick them up and eat it and start following the trail that leads to the door station. Sled was here. He closes the London door station)
Sled: (On walkie-talkie) Snowflake to Pixie Dust, I'm sending some your way.
(He grabs the door station to get more fairies and Muppets as visitors for Disco Plaza)
(INT. BEDROOM, HUMAN WORLD – NIGHT. The Electric Mayhem passes through the human bedroom and into the Winter Woods door station, thinking that the dad is snoring after Fozzie closes the door station)
Mother: Roll over, honey. You're snoring.
Father: (SIGHS)
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. Kermit, Fozzie, Walter, and Animal were setting up a tray of pizza)
Fozzie: Oh, I hope it works!
Walter: This is not gonna work.
Animal: Naughty frog.
Rowlf: That is under a law.
Scooter: We can get caught.
TINKER BELL: Don't worry. Everything's perfect.
(Tinker Bell greeted the Electric Mayhem to the decorated room)
Tinker Bell: Welcome to Disco Plaza.
(When Kermit opens the box of pizza, the lights go out and the disco ball lights up and spins)
FLOYD: All right!
(They step forward to munch it down)
(INT. BALLROOM, BUCKINGHAM PALACE – NIGHT. LEW ZEALAND raised his boomerang fish and pressed it to his head. The Swedish Chef, Link Hogthrob, Annie Sue and Sweetums cheered)
(Sled appeared)
Sled: Hey, Lew, I saw your girlfriend hanging out with some sardine in the closet.
Lew Zealand: Janelle?
(He and the others ran off and head for the London door station, entering)
(INT. BEDROOM, HUMAN WORLD – NIGHT. They ran through the human bedroom)
LEW ZEALAND: Janelle!
LINK HOGTHROB: Can you help me?
(Terence and Sled both close two door stations at the same time, causing the mom to wake up)
Mother: Who's Janelle?
(INT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE – NIGHT. BEAUREGARD skate boards down the stairs)
Beauregard: (WHOOPING)
(Sled had set up the door station under the rug like a trap. When Beauregard reaches the bottom, he falls through the London door station)
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. Where he lands at the Hall of Winter's great room. Dewey stood next to him with a tray full of books)

(INT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE – NIGHT. Rosetta drops the London door station on WAYNE & WANDA)
(INT. BEDROOM, HUMAN WORLD – NIGHT. Wayne & Wanda lands on the skate board on leach)
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. Walter, Silvermist, Fawn, and Animal pull the skate board into the great room, sending Wayne & Wanda flying into the sofa next to Beauregard who entered previously)
Beauregard: All right! Righteous!
Kermit: (giving thumbs up) I think it's working.
(PEPE THE KING PRAWN wasn't buying it)
Pepé: This party is lame. Where all the girls?
Kermit: (STAMMERS) Give me... (on walkie-talkie) We need girls!
(INT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE – NIGHT. The female warm citizen is on the couch with the chickens and hens)
Female Girl: (SIGHS) This party is lame. Where all the guys?
(Rosetta pushes the couch through the door station...)
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. ...and into the Hall of Winter's great room)
Tinker Bell: Ladies?
(The chickens spread around)
Scooter: You're stealing all from the party, chief!
(INT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE – NIGHT. Gliss, Spike, and Sled hold the London door station and use the Limbo game while BOBBY BENSON and ROBIN are in line. Every time they drop the door station safety, any citizen went through)

Sled: Woo-how!
Gliss & Spike (Both): How low can you go?
Sled: Adios!
(INT. BEDROOM, HUMAN WORLD – NIGHT. Robin flies through)
GLISS AND SPIKE: How low can you go?
(CRAZY HARRY flies through and entered the Winter Woods door station while Tinker Bell and Sled both close two door stations at the same time, making the mom wake up again. She's being spooked)
Mother: (GASPS) (WHISPERING) Time to wake up! Something just went into the closet.
Father: There's nothing in our closet, dear.
(INT. BALLROOM, BUCKINGHAM PALACE – NIGHT. As Bobble grabs the hot dog at the buffet table and disappeared, Sled pushes the London door station, making the buffet table go...)
(INT. BEDROOM, HUMAN WORLD – NIGHT. ...through the human bedroom like a railroad train...)
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. ...and into the great room)
Terence: Food's here!
(They make sure that it had enough food for guests (Terence, Periwinkle, Tinker Bell, Miss Poogy, Pops, Blind Pew) that Sled, Rosetta and the Muppets steal at the London party)
(INT. BALLROOM, BUCKINGHAM PALACE – NIGHT. CLANK finally arrived)
Clank: All right! Let's get this party sta...
(But they noticed that the ballroom was empty and someone confiscated all the party. They been robbed!)
Clank: Where did everybody go?
(EXT. CHAMBER DOORS, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. The entire party and all the warm citizens (Dr. Julius Strangepork, Robin, Janice, Thog, Bobble, Clank, Penguins, Zoot, Annie Sue, '80s Robot, Bunsen, the Swedish Chef) had moved to the Hall of Winter–even mammals (platybelodons, palaeotheriums, elks, beavers, baptornis, glyptodons, aardvarks, birds, brontotheriums, diatrymas, macrauchenias, musk oxes) escaped from a nearby Ice Age zoo–and it was a blast!)
Bobble: This is the best party ever! Yeah!
(INT. VAST HALL, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. Inside the great room, fully stocked, Kermit is showing all of the citizens (Beauregard, Sweetums, Iridessa, Dr. Teeth, Silvermist, Dewey, Fawn, Link Hogthrob, Vidia, Spike, Gonzo, Lew Zealand, Gliss, Camilla, Pepé, Periwinkle, Walter, Floyd, Fozzie, Rowlf, Animal, Beaker, Wanda, Wayne, Tinker Bell, Miss Piggy, Crazy Harry, the Newsman, Scooter, Rosetta, and Sled) some moves on the snowflake)
ALL MUPPETS AND FAIRIES: (CHANTING QUICKLY) Go Kermit! Go Kermit! Go Kermit! Go Kermit!
(It really was a full swing until the lights came on, flooding the great room in light and someone showed up)
SAM: Kermit Sebastian the Frog!
(It was SAM THE EAGLE, the CIA agent, and the FLYING ZUCCHINI BROTHERS! He wants to do the cannonball act but he is mad that he is not invited)
Sam: What is going on here?
KERMIT: Sam?
(It looked like the party was over)
Kermit: (STAMMERING) It's not what it looks like.
(When Sam turned to his attention of the door station, he realizes that Sled and Rosetta were confiscating all warm citizens from London)
Sam: (GASPS) Is that a door station? (scared) Are you boys door-jamming?
Kermit: No, no, no, Sam, we were just... What's door-jamming?
(EXT. CHAMBER DOORS, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. Sam decided to show everyone how to do a little door-jamming. He had the citizens place both door stations on the snowbank)
CROWD: (CHANTING) Froggy! Froggy! Froggy! Froggy!
(Sam was up on the roof)
Sam: Woo!
(All of his friends (Walter, Vidia, Fozzie, Terence, Miss Piggy, Iridessa, Periwinkle, Fawn, Rowlf, Silvermist, Tinker Bell, Kermit, Rosetta, Gonzo, Dewey, Scooter, Animal, Gliss, Spike, Sled) looked up in horror)
Kermit: Sam! I don't think this is a good idea!
(But the grouchy eagle didn't listen. With a laugh, he raised the snowmaker which Tinker Bell, Bobble, and Clank made, which it releases a snow tornado, sending it flying and landed in the snow, fashioning a big whiteout)
(INT. BEDROOM, HUMAN WORLD – NIGHT. The human adults heard a frosty howl outside and now we're really spooked)
Mother: Okay, that's it! There definitely is something in there!
(The father suddenly wakes up)
Father: All right, fine. Want me to check? I'll check.
(EXT. CHAMBER DOORS, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. Sam uses the sled and drives down the roof)
Sam: Yeah! (WHOOPING)
(INT. BEDROOM, HUMAN WORLD – NIGHT. The dad walked to the closet)
Father: How many times do I have to tell you?
(EXT. CHAMBER DOORS, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. Sam slides down the the roof. The sled bumps into the end of the chamber roof, sending him flying)
(INT. BEDROOM, HUMAN WORLD – NIGHT. He wouldn't dare open the closet)
Father: There is nothing in our closet.
(He opens the door just in time to see...)
(Yetis (Big Mean Carl, Bossmen, Mean Mama, Beautiful Day Monster, Fazoobs, Behemoth) and bulls in the big blizzard! Wait, there's more: Sam went diving toward the dad, followed by a herd of bulls! They fly through the room, with the human adults watching in horror. Now it's really a nightmare! They reach the end of the room...)
(EXT. CHAMBER DOORS, THE HALL OF WINTER – NIGHT. Through the open door station and lands perfectly into the yard. Everyone (Kermit, Walter, Gonzo, Rowlf, Silvermist, Spike, Terence, Fawn, Animal, Rosetta, Gliss, Iridessa, Scooter, Periwinkle, Fozzie, Miss Piggy, Tinker Bell, Dewey, Sled) burst into cheers with amazement. Tinker Bell, Kermit and all his friends gather around Sam)
Kermit: Sam, that was awesome!
(BIG MEAN CARL got in between them)
Big Mean Carl: Who's pledging the Muppets?
(ALL CHEERING)
(The winter citizens had thrown the best party the Winter Woods had ever seen!)
