Hi! I've been wanting to submit a Lazytown story for a while. I usually write Bones, Angel, Buffy and Without A Trace stories. And, since I absolutely love Lazytown, I thought I'd try my hand at writing it. So, let me know what you think!
Oh, and I am of the firm belief that Ziggy is destined to be Number 11. I think that he is secretly Sportacus' son! (I'll get to that later! G )
Sport-Achoo!
It was a rainy day in Lazytown. No birds were singing, no kids were playing, no villains were lurking.
Though, there was an above-average hero splashing in the newly formed mud puddles.
Stephanie was staring out of the window of her uncle's house and giggling.
"Stephanie, I have some cards for you to play with if you'd like."
"No thanks, Uncle."
"Would you like a piece of yummy cake?"
"No thank you, Uncle."
Milford came to the window and sat beside Stephanie on the sofa.
"What is so funny?" Milford looked closer. "Why, it's Sportacus. What's he doing?"
"He's jumping in mud puddles."
"Hmm, that does look like fun, although, if he's not careful, he may catch a cold…"
"You're right, uncle. I'd better go tell him!"
"Wait just a minute, young lady! Put on your hat, your coat, your rain boots and here's your umbrella!"
"Thanks Uncle Milford."
And with that, Stephanie, wearing her pink rain bonnet, her pink raincoat, pink rain boots and carrying her pink umbrella, went outside in search of her puddle-jumping friend.
When she found him, Sportacus was doing a cartwheel right into a really large, very muddy puddle.
"Sportacus!" Stephanie shouted.
It was then that Sportacus lost his balance and went rear first into the very large, very wet mud puddle.
"Oops, sorry Sportacus."
Sportacus looked up at his friend and smiled.
"That's okay, it was fun. But now, I am really, very wet."
"I just came to tell you that you'd better be careful, you might catch a cold."
"You're right. I'd better go to my airship and dry off."
Stephanie turned to wave at her friend when suddenly…
"Achoo!"
"Sportacus?"
"Wow!"
"What?"
"What was that?"
"You just sneezed."
"I've never done that before!"
"Sportacus... I think..."
"Achoo!"
"...you're catching a cold."
"Really? I've never had one of those before."
Stephanie sighed.
"Maybe we'd better get you inside..."
