Author's note: As this goes on, the more ideas come to my mind. Am glad to be back into the fry with more energy than ever. The old play of Lazy Town is very useful, maybe I will use a thing or two.
Go, girl, go!

10. Between Two Worlds.
Sportacus pulls from the cables with all his strength, filling the electricity clash against his arms and chest. The pain is unbearable and the electrical current pushes him away, making his chest hurt like hell. That very moment Stephanie arrives at the scene.
In this past days, he has being acting a bit distant, cold, like any other adult with an adult but something tells her it was as painful for him as it was for her. But then, why did he do it? It has no sense.
She wants him close and no matter the reasons, Stephanie wants his friend as he has always being.
He looks at her. Even without voice, knowing the danger, comes to him. The hero's mind spins like crazy between the elf rules and the friendship between them. What can he do? Between two worlds condemned to ignore each other, is there a way through?
No time to think it for long. Robbie sneaks out of his lair and grabs the girl from behind.
"Well, well. Look what I got. Didn't your mother told you curiosity killed the cat?" Glances at the hero. "What do you say, sporty? Ready to say goodbye? No? Then leave that antenna if you want to keep your friend in one piece." Sportacus doesn't move. "Am not of hurting little girls but I have plenty of inventions to turn her into a mouse." Moment of indecision.
There is no way he can save her and leave Lazy Town mute forever but he can't leave his best friend like this either. What can he do?
The girl's eyes in his. The elf friezes. He knows those eyes. Her mother's. But… she died when he was just… Stephanie. He must save her from Robbie.
"Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see
A paradise untouched by man
Within this world blessed with love
A simple life, they live in peace
Softly tread the sand below your feet now
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see
Beneath the shelter of the trees
Only love can enter here
A simple life, they live in peace
Raise your head up
Lift high the load
Take strength from those that need you
Build high the walls
Build strong the beams
A new life is waiting
But danger's no stranger here
No words describe a mother's tears
No words can heal a broken heart
A dream is gone, but where there's hope
Somewhere something is calling for you
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see"
They look each other. She knows that whatever he chooses, it will be ok. But the tall man's grip is still tight.
Nobody notices a cat that walks behind Robbie and goes to the antenna. A single swing of his claws and the cables are cut, leaving the machine useless, while Rafa does an OK gesture from the bushes.
"Well? What do you decide?" Robbie looks at the above average hero.
"Let her go." He walks towards the girl.
"Well. This is new. Are you not breaking the hero rules, big blue?" Walks backwards with a smirk. "You know, we are very alike. After all, you fight for the active and lively while I, according to you, your dark opposite and, in some way, twin, works for the lazy and quiet. And now, we are even more alike. You are breaking the very rules that give you anything in what you believe." Sportacus goes pale. He is right.
"Damn the day the day you crossed the border
and rode aimlessly heart.
You conquered every corner of the soul
and hooked everything to your very desire.And with the absence of pain
and that peace by bridging the reason
washed away the life
in a huge artificial peace.
For sale in the streets
and gloomy corners
of the city of the stray.Like any love
the first month was good
and soon, nothing was good enough.
If the life came back again,
you need to suck it again.But after that stand
I have found out your will.
thousand times I will stand,
thousand times we'll fight..
I will find in you in the alleys
and gloomy corners
of my mind and soul."
The girl whimpers. That is not true. He is doing the right thing. For her, for everyone.
"Ok. Show is over." The cat swipes Robbie's hand and he lets her go.
"What the?" He looks around.
"You are not a looser. You are not like him." They are both surprise to find out that her voice is back and so are all the natural sounds. "You are my friend." Before the villain can say a thing, someone touches his shoulder. A shiver. Rafa is smiling at him.
"If I were you, I would start flying off, would you not?" Rotten goes back to his lair. "Jerk. Hey, lovebirds. How about telling your good friend and neighbour what did I miss?" He sits down with a smile and Stephanie gives him a hug. "The exam went great, thanks."
"Am so glad. Am sorry for not listening to you. You were right all along." She smiles.
"My pleasure, cherie." Rafa chuckles. "Now. Let's go and see how is everyone in town."
All of Lazy Town is enjoying the back of the sounds but the most wonderful moment is the apology of all the kids to Rafa. The youngster says nothing and sits down while Stephanie and Sportacus play together, something that gives the boy an idea for a song.
"It was just a glance, I'm not sure
what vibrated inside me.
And without thinking, I went after you
The moon in your hair helped me
Track your steps down the sidewalk
But around the corner of the town,
I lost my way.
I listened in confusion
inside my heart,
as a voice calling my name
I was saying and I will say,
You, you and me, you and me, you and meLike radar at the sea
telling the ship where is the port,
The voice led me up in life
Or down if there was something wrong.
Thousands of moves I got
To find you all along.
But in the end found the place
and in the middle of the light
and there you were
You, you and me, you and me, you and meHanging from the poles and tied
For the feet and hands
I wondered who could do that?
I climbed up the timber to your face,
stroke your hair and kiss you there.
Three broken words escaped your lips
You, you and me, you and me, you and me"
Maybe elves and humans are very different but there is no real reason for them to be apart.
