Who does Caleb get along with other then the band??

I think one of the directors of Muppets Mayhem said that the series wasn’t a follow up to the 2015 series. However I do like a lot of stuff from the 2015 show so a lot of my hc’s for characters outside of the Electric Mayhem for this post are based/inspired by the 2015 series 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Robin, Newphew (Rowlf’s newphew): Caleb is 16-18 years old, I don’t have a set age for him but I want him to be a young adult. Caleb’s often dubbed a backup babysitter for Kermit and Rowlf when both are busy. He babysits for Newphew the most as the band are frequent regulars at the tavern more so than the rest of the muppets. Caleb likes to chill with Newphew and Robin, he’s happy to binge star wars and listen to Robin ramble about the franchise (even if Caleb forgets half of the characters names) 

Piggy: I like the hc of Janice and Piggy being close pals based off that one episode where Janice let Piggy come to her areal contortion class (prolly butchered that spelling). Plus it’s implied in the same show Piggy grew up with a lot of siblings on a farm so I imagine - despite her very five star lifestyle of living - deep down she’s actually pretty unphased by kids and their weirdness. She’s also shown to be super caring of Robin so it’s not much of a stretch to think that if her and Janice are close friends she’s grown fond of Caleb, just a smidge 

In the beginning Piggy probably didn’t plan to get attached to Caleb, mostly cuz she didn’t need a Floyd 2.0 tormenting her when one was more then enough….but hey turns out Caleb doesn’t have a single snarky bone in his body and is a lot like Janice, in the sense he’s very laid back, a little obvious but overall well meaning. Caleb in turn thinks his dear old Auntie Piggy is actually really sweet, to Floyd’s utter horror 

Sam: So. Sam. 

I know there’s a lot of hate against Sam’s crush on Janice in the 2015 show but personally I didn’t have an issue with it. Only thing I didn’t really like was when Janice gave Sam a kiss on the beak, because up until that point Janice showed no interest in him whats so ever (that and she obvs belongs with Floyd the music video Home by the band is literally a Floyd x Janice video-). I think the idea of Sam having a harmless little crush on Janice is interesting, in general Sam having a crush on anybody that’s not a straight laced rule follower like him is interesting to me because I’m a sucker for odd pairings. Janice of course is 120% oblivious to his affections and views Sam as strictly a friend, and Sam is no where near scummy enough to after a women that’s in a relationship (Floyd is suspicious of him but Janice pats his shoulder and reassures him Sam is fine) 

Sam prolly learnt of Caleb’s existence randomly when he bumped into Janice who was holding baby Caleb and went “Oh hiii Sam! I was like, totally just getting some orange juice with my son-“ and Sam squawked “Your WHAT?”. Over the years Sam’s crush probably dwindles into just a very strong sense of care for Janice, sort of like a brother/best friend would, and as such since he cares so much for her he’s probably roped into babysitting. Since Caleb is like the only member of the band who doesn’t cuss and actually tries to follow rules Sam has a bit more patience with him like he does with Janice 

Rowlf - Rowlf is a very close friend of Teeth’s, practically his best friend outside of the band, so he was one of the first muppets to get to see Caleb when he was an itty bitty baby. Since Caleb also babysits Newphew Caleb is very familiar with Uncle Rowlf, he probably did shifts at the tavern when he was a teen washing glasses and dishes. Caleb isn’t a fan of alcohol so he likes to chill with a milkshake or soft drink at the bar along with Newphew when he comes down to the Tavern, overall they’re quite close 

Pepe/Rizzo - I know Pepe at least was the bands road manager in some older series, while I personally like Scooter as their road manager I don’t doubt Pepe and the band have shared drinks together and are good pals. Pepe and Rizzo are the types of Uncles who gave baby Caleb a lemon slice and told him to give it a try, resulting in Caleb bursting out crying at the sour flavour. Caleb…doesn’t like to be mean, but he doesn’t exactly trust Rizzo and Pepe (definitely held a grudge after the lemon slice incident), he keeps the peace with the two out of politeness but is much more cut and dry with them then he is with anyone else in the studio.
