Strange Weather

Chapter 1
Stephanie sat out in the warm summer sunshine on the swing in her Uncle's backyard. It had been five years since her parent's deaths and four years since Sportacus had been restored to his rightful age. It had been tough for a little while but everyone was friends again and it felt good.
A noise drew her attention skyward. Looking up she saw, Sportacus' airship. A warm and fuzzy feeling over took her and her stomach did a little flip-flop as she watched him descend the ladder. They were the best of friends and she didn't know where she'd be without him.
"Hi Stephanie!" He called to her and waved.
"Hi Sportacus!" She called back as he ran over to her.
"What are you up to?" The above average hero asked.
"Nothing much, just enjoying the sunshine." Stephanie smiled.
"Where is everybody else?" Sportacus asked.
"I don't know. I think maybe they're trying to enjoy the sunshine too." The fourteen year old teased.
"Come on, lets go play catch or something and really enjoy the sunshine." He said.
"Sounds like fun." Stephanie just continued to smile. Sportacus didn't know what it was but she had been smiling a lot lately. Not that it was a bad thing because he liked to see her face light up, it was just that he wondered what caused her to be so happy. The two headed off for the sports field to find their friends. Soon the whole gang was passing the flying disks around and working up an appetite. After awhile, Sportacus got them some sports candy and they took a little break.
"Look at them, so cheery and happy. Yuck!" Robbie exclaimed as he pulled his eyes away from his periscope.
"I haven't had any good ideas lately and it driving me nuts. There has to be something I can do to get them to stop." The villain muttered as he plunked himself down in his big fuzzy orange chair. In the four years since he had received his last community service stint, every idea had failed and he was very discouraged. Luckily, those ideas hadn't been bad enough to require any more nights in the police station but he was just getting frustrated at his lack of brain power.
"Think, think, think." He said, tapping his temple. The villain could hear the kids playing through his speakers and it strengthened his resolve.
"If it wasn't so sunny out, those kids wouldn't be playing outside." Robbie said. Then an idea occurred to him.
"What if I could change the weather? What if it rained every day? Or snowed even? That would keep those brats inside and Sportakook in his airship. Robbie, you are a genius!" He told himself.
"Now all I have to do, is figure out how to make a machine that makes sun into clouds and dry into wet." That seemed like it was going to be hard but he was sure he could come up with something. After all he invented the Littlizer, the Memory-Wiping contraption, and the Life-Sizer/Shrinking machine. So how hard could it be to make a Weather-Changing machine?
