Sportacus woke, eyes flashing open – something was wrong! This was the first morning, since before he arrived in Lazytown that he hasn't woken to the recording of the rooster crowing in his airship!
What had happened?
Opening his eyes wider, he realised that something was definitely wrong – he wasn't in his airship, he was in a dark, creepy cellar.
"Robbie!" this was definitely his underground bunker where he spent most of his time. Somehow Robbie must have kidnapped him and transported him here.
But where was Robbie?
Getting up he realised that he had been sleeping in a fluffy chair – Robbie's chair. Confused Sportacus allowed himself to fall back onto the chair while he thought.
He looked around, he had only been here once before, but his photographic memory hadn't allowed him to forget a single detail.
He went over to the table of Robbie's random experiments, which was currently testing a carrot for - who knows what - evil powers knowing Robbie – to prove that they were bad for you.
Seeing the carrot he remembered breakfast. Sportacus had no idea what time it was but his stomach, which was trained to have regular, healthy meals, told him that he had overslept without his alarm and missed breakfast. He briefly thought about eating the delicious carrot, then thought some more about it.
Would Robbie care? He hated Sports-Candy? But it was still Robbie's and not his, and Sportacus knew that it was wrong to take things that didn't belong to him, unless he had permission. But given that Robbie was no where to be seen Sportacus decided that food would come first and permission later, he promised to repay Robbie with some carrots from the airship, when he got back.
If he got back!
How was he going to get out?
He was underground but had no idea as to how to get back up to the surface of the world. Last time he was here he had been blown out by the explosion from Robbie's shrinking machine. Sportacus couldn't remember how to get out!
There were hundreds of pipes protruding from the top of Robbie's lair – at least one of them must lead up, but which one?
He decided to find out later as they were all suspended above head height – well, above Sportacus' head height.
He walked over to Robbie's creepy disguises, trapped in glass cases, like flies in jam jars. He walked past recognising many of Robbie's previous disguises and wondered how the villain sourced so many different costumes.
Moving on he found the periscope and peered through it. The kids were playing outside so he guessed that it must be late morning at the earliest as the kids didn't have his sunrise wake up call. However, looking around he couldn't see Robbie anywhere.
"I wonder where he is?"
Turning around he saw Robbie's mirror. He saw Robbie in the mirror. He turned to face him but stared into thin air. He turned back to the mirror. He saw Robbie. He saw himself. He was Robbie!
