Sportacus was peddling as fast as he could looking all over Lazy Town for something to help him get to Ziggy in time. Then he spotted it. A trampoline in Stingy's back yard. He lifted his arm and out came the magnet shooter from his armband. It flew across town to Stingy's yard attaching to the trampoline. Sportacus pulled as hard and fast as he could. The trampoline soared through the air landing in the sports field just as Ziggy connected with it and bounced back up.
"Hey! That's MY trampoline!" Stingy hollered as he and Trixie arrived.
Sportacus peddled fast reaching the sports field.
"WHOOOOOOA!" Ziggy yelled soaring through the air.
Sportacus leaned forward, reached out and grabbed Ziggy flinging him on his back. "Gotcha!"
Ziggy put his arms around Sportacus and held on tight as Sportacus headed in to land. When they reached the ground, Ziggy jumped off.
"Wow! Thanks Sportacus. That was really close."
"Yes it was. Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm ok."
"What happened? How did you get up in the air?"
"That was kind of our fault." Trixie answered. "We made a giant sling shot and Ziggy accidentally set it off."
"A giant sling shot? What for?" He smiled at how inventive the kids were.
"Water balloons."
"Water balloons?" He chuckled. "Maybe you should make it a bit smaller to shoot them."
"Sorry Ziggy."
"It's ok. Even though I was scared, it was kinda fun."
"Ziggy?"
"Yes Stingy?"
"Please don't bounce on my trampoline again."
"Uh...ok."
"I gotta go. Be careful guys." Sportacus flipped and jumped on the chaser and peddled away.
Robbie turned and let out a snort as he woke up. He sat up to the voices of Stephanie and Pixel. "Can't you keep it down? It's bad enough to hear you noisy brats on the sports field."
"You could always go home if you don't like it Robbie." Stephanie pointed out.
Robbie looked around. "Maybe I will!" He bolted to his feet and looked around. "I won't be recommending this place in the travel brochures." He marched out grumbling and growling.
"Robbie Rotten." They shook their heads laughing.
Elena thought about the images she saw when she closed her eyes. There was something going on and it had to do with her. She didn't know what but she had to find out. She felt incomplete. She was on the edge of town when she saw Sportacus on his sky chaser heading in her direction.
Sportacus hopped off landing next to her. He saw she was deep in thought. "What's wrong?"
She looked at him but was unable to convey what was on her mind. Which was part of the problem. She didn't understand why she couldn't talk. She turned away frustrated.
"Oh my goodness!"
She turned back.
"You are really sunburned." She looked at him puzzled.
"Uh, your back." He walked behind her. "It's very red."
She looked at her self and saw she was, indeed, very red. She touched her shoulder and found it very painful. She pointed at him.
"I always wear sunscreen in the summer. I have something that will help you. I'll be right back." He got back on his sky chaser and headed to his airship.
She sat down on a nearby bench. She yawned, tired from swimming most of the the day, and closed her eyes. When she did there was another rush of images. Images of the town, of places she's never seen but yet felt like she was there. Then there was something else. She saw the satellite dish and a flash of light. But there was something darker. Something frightening. Something that wasn't supposed to be there.
Robbie, on his way back to his lair, spotted Elena.
"Hm. The blond elf and no Sportakook? This is my chance to win her over." He approached her. "Hello?"
She jumped.
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. Are you ok?"
She slowly shrugged.
"Why are you here? Where's Sportacus?"
She pointed up.
"In his airship? You shouldn't be alone. Why don't you come with me, my dear?" He extended his hand. "This way you'll have company until he gets back."
Curiously she took Robbie's hand. They headed towards the billboard. She felt she could trust him. Sportacus said he was a friend after all.
Sportacus made it to his airship. Once inside he went to the room behind his bed.
"Sportacus. What are you looking for?" The airship asked.
"It's a special salve for sunburns."
"Did you forget your sunscreen this morning?"
"No. It's for someone else."
"It's in the blue container to your left." A panel slid revealing the blue box.
"Thank you." He grabbed it and headed back. "Door!"
"Door opening."
Sportacus leapt through air landing where he left Elena. He looked around but didn't see her. "That's strange. Where did she go?"
"I don't have a conventional door, well, you'll see." They reached the billboard. Robbie opened the door for Elena. He climbed up the small ladder and struggled to open the heavy lid to his lair then he hopped down. "After you my dear."
Elena looked at it and Robbie strangely. Robbie gave her an 'it's ok smile'.
She climbed in and slid down. She slid left and right hitting corners all the way down. She saw the opening and flew out the chute tumbling and rolling landing in Robbie's orange chair. Robbie hurled out of the chute landing next to her on the floor.
She looked at the chair open mouthed and amazed. She played with the fluff on the chair. She had the biggest smile.
"Impressed are we?" Robbie asked happy with her reaction. He stood up and tugged at his vest.
She looked at all the wonderful looking equipment. She bolted up and ran over to one of his workstations and excitedly started turning the knobs and opening doors to the machines.
"What? Wait! No, no. Don't touch that!" He ran over turning everything back where it was.
Meanwhile above-
Sportacus saw the door to the billboard was slightly ajar. "Robbie." He went through and lifted the lid. He opened his mouth to call out when he heard a panicked Robbie yelling 'not to touch.' He smiled and headed down. Along the way he heard Robbie shrill in protest. Something told him he was going to enjoy this.
Below-
Elena opened drawers and and pulled out a variety of toys including springy neon shoelaces, a wind up robot, and a rubber duck.
Robbie was putting everything back trying to explain nervously why he had them.
She pulled out a rubber chicken wiggling it happily.
"No! Now stop that!"
Sportacus made to the bottom and hid behind Robbie's equipment.
Elena, having fun going through the treasure trove of toys, pulled out a slinky, which she let spring to the ground and back up again. She found purple goop as Robbie grabbed the slinky and put it back in the drawer.
She made a disgusting face as she stretched and played with the goop. It was very sticky. Robbie grabbed the goop from her hands and got stuck in it himself. While he was struggling to get the goop back in its container, noticed she found a small pouch. She opened it before he could protest and marbles fell out.
"Ahh, my marbles! I can't lose those!"
Sportacus held his laughter, which was difficult.
Elena sprang to another work bench and picked up small gadgets, and tubes. Off to her left she saw Robbie Rotten, Stephanie and Sportacus dolls. She happily picked them up and was dancing them around. She absolutely loved them.
Robbie gasped in horror staggering for words. He sprang over to her and took the dolls looking for someplace to hide them.
Sportacus happily watched her enthusiasm unravel Robbie.
"Ok," he chuckled nervously, "your starting to upset Uncle Robbie now. Why don't we sit down and have some cake?"
Sportacus bent over and put his hands over his mouth. 'Uncle Robbie.'
Elena caught sight at the costumes in the tubes and ran up the steps looking at them in amazement.
Robbie dropped the dolls. "Oh no!" He ran up to stop her from doing anything else.
She found the organ and hit the keys. She jumped when they rang through the pipes. She hit a few more as Robbie hit a button retracting the organ. He leaned against it catching his breath. Out of the corner of his eye he saw her reach up and pull the control lever. "This is-not a-Stop!"
She started spinning around. When she stopped she was in the purple knight costume. Beard and mustache included. She looked at herself and ran past Robbie, spinning him around. She went to the mirror, excited.
When Robbie stopped spinning he ran down to her as she ran back up, spinning him again. She reached up and pulled.
"No don't-"
Too late. She was now in the Miss Roberta costume. She looked at Robbie curiously.
"Um, yeah, well, I don't usually dress as a woman-No, wait!"
She pulled it and changed again.
"She's worse than Sportanerd!" He tried to stop her but couldn't.
Sportacus, now on the floor, was on the verge of busting loose.
She was absolutely delighted at his costume machine. This time she was dressed as Rottenbeard. She loved the clothes and was amazed at what the machine could do.
He made it up the steps and guarded the lever. "Ok, all done with dress up." He said huffing and puffing. She reached up. "No! All done! It's my disguise time, not yours." She put her hand over his and pulled causing them both to spin.
"Wha-?"
Sportacus peeked around and saw the two of them spinning. He didn't know how much longer he could contain his laughter.
When they stopped she was in Robbie's clothes and Robbie was wearing Sportacus's costume.
Sportacus could no longer hold it in. He burst out laughing as he entered the room.
"I was wondering-" he laughed. "where my spare costume was."
"Will you please do something?!" He said unconcerned that he was there to begin with.
She spun around in Robbie's clothes which were a bit snug. She reached up.
"Noo!" Robbie grabbed it when she did and they both went spinning again. This time Robbie was back in is clothes and Elena was in Sportacus's. Robbie grabbed his head. "This is too much!"
Sportacus laughing, went over and took Elena's hand. "Ok, Elena. We have to go. You can come back and visit "Uncle Robbie" again later." He was still laughing as he guided her out.
Robbie, exhausted, went to his orange chair. "I need a nap." He plopped down and passed out.
