"LazyTown Ficlets"
Author's Note: 100 Themes Challenge, Volume 2. I just want to say upfront that I won't be doing all 100 of these, and they won't be in any particular order. Most chapters will probably focus on Robbie Rotten. Every chapter will be self-contained, and will have a 100-500 word limit. I'm not really into sportarobbie, but I'm also not anti-sportarobbie, so there will be no shipping here unless you you choose to see it. Also, I don't own LazyTown, or its characters.
"74: Confrontation"
"One-side, Pink Girl!" Robbie sidled past Stephanie, his rude command not quite matching his actions as he lightly caught her arm to prevent her from stumbling.
Instead of thanking him (it was really his fault she tripped in the first place), she put her hands on her hips. "It's 'Stephanie'," she informed his retreating back.
"Whatever," he dismissed her with a wave of his hand without slowing his pace or turning around.
The girl tossed her head and jogged to catch up with him. "My name's not 'Whatever', either. It's not 'Pink Girl', or 'Pinky', or 'Pink Cheerleader'. It's 'Stephanie'."
The lanky villain rounded on her so quickly that she almost ran into him. "What do you want from me?!"
"I just..." Goodness, he was tall, wasn't he? Especially when he loomed over her with his arms flung wide and his brow beetling in a severe scowl. Her voice failed her, and she wondered if she'd gone to far.
Robbie lowered his arms with a disgusted sigh. "I don't bite, you know. What do you want?"
Stephanie found her courage again. "Just once, can you please use my actual name? I mean, how would you like it if I called you 'Stripy Guy'?" she asked, referring to his ridiculously high-waisted striped trousers.
He shrugged his shoulders. "You actually have called me that. I think it fits me about as well as 'Pink Girl' fits you."
She opened her mouth to argue, then closed it again with perturbed frown. He did have a point; her hair and clothing were bright pink.
Robbie dramatically rolled his eyes. "Look, Stephanie, I'm missing my show and I'm tired. There, I did it, now stop following me!"
She flashed him a 100 watt smile. "Thanks, Robbie."
"Buzz off, Pinky!"
"Whatever."
