It was a few days after the wedding. The sun was shining with a slight breeze. Robbie made himself scarce since the wedding. Bessie and Milford were making plans for their honeymoon. Sportacus was happy in his regular clothes and saving the kids when needed. Everything returned to normal in Lazy Town.

Elena slowly stirred. She could feel the sun on her body, which confused her since she was supposed to be in her bed. Her muscles ached and she was starving. And WET? She opened her eyes and pushed herself up. "What?" Much to her surprise, she was sleeping in the mud. "Oh brother." She got to her aching feet, mud all over her, and her hair was matted and muddy.

"What is happening to me?" She looked around and she was near a swamp. But where? She started walking. She soon found the path to LazyTown. She continued her walk back to home feeling dejected.

Now that things were calmed down in Lazy Town, she had time to think. One thing she didn't like was not being in control and there was a lot going out of control. New emotions bombarding her, sleepwalking and the disturbing nightmare. She needed to talk to Sportacus. She didn't know if he could help but, if she didn't talk to someone or she was going to burst.

After a long walk, she made back to town. She felt like she was going to drop. Her legs felt like noodles. She sat down on a bench to rest. She saw the town clock read ten o'clock. She heard the kids approaching. Stephanie, Trixie and Ziggy bounced over to her.

"Hey, Laney! How are...you?" Stephanie saw all the mud.

"What happened to you?" Trixie asked. "You look like something the cat dragged in...at least three times."

"I...fell in the mud. I guess." She pouted.

"And you didn't invite us, huh?"

She smiled at Ziggy's innocence. "I need to get washed up." She stood up slowly maneuvering her aching legs to walk. "I'll catch you guys later." She headed home.

"Boy, I've never seen her bummed before." Trixie stated.

"I know." Stephanie agreed. "Maybe we should tell Sportacus. This looks kinda serious.

"Yeah, he can help with anything." Ziggy added sucking on his lollypop.

"Uh-no need. There he flips now." Trixie pointed as Sportacus was heading in her direction.

Sportacus flipped, turned and jumped landing in front of Elena. "Hello-" he saw she was covered with mud and not looking happy about it. He looked at her. He opened his mouth to ask what happened.

"Sleepwalking. I was sleepwalking and I woke up in the mud." She threw down her arms. Her face was becoming very sad. "I ache all over and I don't know what's going on," her eyes welled up with tears. "And now I'm...crying and I don't know why." She bowed her head.

Sportacus immediately took her on his arms. "Shh. It's ok. Let's get you cleaned up and you can tell me what's going on." He picked her up and brought her the rest of the way home.

"Thank you, Sportacus."

"You're welcome."

When they got in the house, he set her down. "I'll come back little bit later after you've cleaned up. Ok?" She nodded and gave him a hug and headed for the bathroom.

Sportacus watched as she left the room. He hated seeing her sad. And they were going to have to think of something to figure out why it was happening. He had an idea what might cheer her up a little. He closed the door and flipped his way to Lazy Park.

The kids saw Sportacus and called out for him. He stopped and headed in their direction. "Hi guys! What's up?"

"Well, we were wondering if Laney was ok?" Stephanie spoke up.

"It's not good when a person is sad." Ziggy added.

"So, what's got her down and in the mud?"

"Ok,"he knelt down. "she has been sleepwalking. And she ends up in very unusual and sometime dangerous places and we don't know what's causing it."

"Ohhhh." They all said in unison.

"If you ever see anything strange with her and I'm not around, please come get me. Ok?"

"Sure Sportacus. We'll even try to stay out of trouble so you can help her."

"Thanks Stephanie. I have to go! I'll see you later." He made his way to his air ship, hopped in his fly pod and peddled away. He was flying all around the outskirts of Lazy Town then a bit beyond. He was coming up to Crystal Lake. "Ah ha!" He found what he was looking for. A lilac bush. He hopped out, collected the remaining ones and headed back to town.

Elena took off her clothes and started the shower. She was sore from head to toe. She didn't realize how much the mud was caked on. After she got it all off, she got dressed, plunked in her chair and closed her eyes.

As soon as she did she was somewhere else. It was dark. There were dead trees and vines around her. It smelled dank. She looked around and she had spiderwebs over her body. She bolted up, panic stricken and pulled them off. Off in the distance she saw what looked like a black glass castle. It was emitting some kind of light. No. This was not good. She could feel it with every fiber in her body. She should not be here.

"Oh, but you should my dear."

She turned on her heel. Someone was reading her thoughts. She saw no one but, the voice spoke again and she turned again.

"I didn't think you were going to get this far. I'm not sure how but you must have some elf magic in you to get here so easily at my summoning."

Elena couldn't move. The figure in front of her was blurred and black with white eyes. It reached up and touched her forehead then the center of her chest. She felt a brief sting. "Get away from me!"

"Don't worry my dear. You still have much work to do." And with that the figure moved away and faced her.

She was unable to move and she became afraid as the figure was coming right at her? She didn't know where she was and there was no one to save her. If ever she needed Sportacus, it was now.
