Chapter 1
Six months after Trouble With a Capital R?
Stephanie sat in the bright sunlight out on the backyard swing. The breeze blew lightly around her hair and fluffed it into her face. She gently pulled it back behind her ears and watched the clouds pass by in the sky.
"What are you thinking about?" An all too familiar accented voice wondered. The now twenty year old looked down to see her favorite person in the world standing there.
"School." She said in one word.
"I heard from a little birdie that someone is getting her Associate's degree in history." Sportacus smiled.
"This is true." The girl answered.
"One would think you'd be a little more excited." He said.
"I am excited but I still have two more years of schooling left to go for my Bachelor's Degree and so far all the universities I've applied to have accepted me." Stephanie told him.
"And that's bad because…" Sportacus was a little confused.
"It's bad because all of the schools are far away and I'm not talking half an hour or even forty-five minutes. More like three or four hours away." She sighed. Now it was coming together.
"You don't want to leave LazyTown do you?" The above average hero asked.
"No, I don't." Stephanie admitted. Sportacus sat down and put his arm around her shoulders.
"Steph, you need to finish school. It's so important." He said.
"Important enough to leave and Uncle Milford and all my friends?" She asked.
"We all support you and want you to do what you need to succeed. We would never ask you to lose your dreams for us." Sportacus told her.
"My dream is to be with you, here in LazyTown. I'm not sure I'm strong enough to leave." Stephanie let out a big sigh and looked toward the ground. The above average hero took her chin in his hand and lifted her face so she had to look into his Icelandic baby blues.
"You've been through a lot but you've managed to come out on top every time. I've seen you grow up into a beautiful, smart, talented woman. I know you can handle this." He tried to reassure her. Looking into his eyes and seeing the love he had for her made the pink-haired girl smile.
"You really think I can do it?" Stephanie asked.
"I know you can do it. Now come on, let's get up and doing something." He smiled.
"All right. Let's go." She said. The two stood up from the swing and headed over to the sports field where they could hear the familiar laughter of their friends.
Robbie watched from below the Earth's surface through his periscope. He practically gagged as he saw what was going on.
"Those two make me want to hurl." The villain said as he turned away from the scope. He began to pace back and forth wondering what he could possibly do to cause trouble for the couple.
"Think, think, think." He said to no one in particular. What could he do to get those two in trouble? That's when he had an idea.
"Oh that is good." The villain said to himself.
