Someone gave a yelp -- of surprise, thankfully, and not of pain -- and Gonzo yelped himself, then stared at the big pile of Muppet (and scarf, and battered-looking tie and hat, as though their owner had been using them against the cold for far too long) crouching behind a tree.
"Hello?" he asked, and picked up one of the things the creature -- he couldn't tell what it was yet, on account of its hiding behind the tree, though he could make out a pair of eyes staring out at him -- had dropped. It was a chicken, but not a real one with soft feathers; it was a rubber one. "Is this yours?" he asked, picking up the hat as well and holding it out to the fuzzy whatever-it-was.
"Y-yes," the creature stammered, and reached out tentatively, only long enough to take the rubber chicken from him. "Where did you come from?"
"Where did I come from?" Gonzo asked. "Where did you come from? After all, I was already in the house

But the witch was the only thing the bear could say things about, really, and as he talked on and on Gonzo got colder and colder, and for the first time started to wish that the policy against fur hadn't been quite so strict

It is one thing to be a Muppet who has gone into a closet and found a whole new world, but it is entirely another to go into a closet, find a whole new world, and emerge to find that no one believes you

Ooh, I can't wait to read more. I like it so far, especially the fact that Gonzo's nose gets cold before the rest of him and the reason why there's no fur in the wardrobe.
(And your icon? Ohmygod, I love it. It makes me giggle and covet it simultaneously.)
"...even though he was a one-of-a-kind Muppet he was not stupid, and it isn't smart to let yourself accidentally get locked into a closet, even during hide-and-seek"
This was especially hilarious. I was always making fun of them in the book for sayin SEVERAL TIMES how you don't want to lock oneself in a wardrobe or close the door. Craziness.
