DONT MESS WITH FIREWORKS!
Stephanie jumped out of bed early that July fourth.. Yippee! Todays the day! The kids had been planning this great picnic for the whole town. Stephanie got busy cleaning up her room before the picnic as she promised her Uncle.. the Mayor of Lazytown.
As Stephanie was making her bed she was humming her Bing Bang song and suddenly she stopped. "Sportacus" oh my.. I have to get in touch with him.. The picnic wouldnt be the same without him.. Stephanie hoped that the airship was fixed.. Just a couple of days ago Robbie Rotten had sneaked aboard and caused so much damage that Sportacus had to remain in the ship for the past couple of days to get it right again.. What a mess.. Stephanie shakes her head as she recalls Sportacus telling the kids that instead of sports candy coming out of the food bay, candy and cakes would pop up. All his controls were so sticky with ooey gooey gum that it would take days to scrub all of it off. Laughing to herself as she pictured Robbie being made to eat an apple after that.. Hopefully he learned a lesson since no one had seen Robbie for days. As Stephanie continued humming to herself she was close to getting her chores done. Raising the window to get a slight breeze thru her room she heard music coming from Pixel's house..
Music was blasting from the speakers that Pixel had rigged throughout the park.. The whole park seemed to come alive with the music.. The birds were whistling along with the words:
"Always a way
You gotta know you can make it
There is always a way
You gotta believe it
You gotta believe it "
I hope Stephanie likes it.. Smiling to himself Pixel kept on punching in different codes so the music could play continous during the picnic.. Hopefully Stephanie will play catch with me.. Little did Stephanie know that Pixel had a crush on her. Pixel continued programming the song list until it was almost time to meet at the park.
Wow what great music Ziggy thought to himself as he was waiting for Stingy. Stingy promised to pick him up and help with the decorations for the picnic.. I hope Stingy doesnt keep them to himself Ziggy thought with a snort.. Mine Mine Mine! Thats all Stingy says.. Finally just as Ziggy was giving up on Stingy he could see the yellow car coming down the lane.
Finished yelled Stephanie as she raced through the house to find her purse. Uncle Im going to send a letter to Sportacus then Im heading to the park.. "Yes Yes Dear.." her Uncle said. I will be there shortly Im waiting on Bessie to decide what she wants to wear. Chuckling as she went out the door.. Stephanie thought how cute a couple her Uncle and Bessie made.. Slamming the door a little harder than she should of Stephanie headed towards the mailbox.
Slam... thump thump thump... What is this terrible noise? Yelled Robbie Rotten to himself. All he wanted to do was to sit and eat cake and watch TV in peace. He still hadnt been able to get that terrible taste of that red apple out of his mouth.. Sportapoop. All I was doing was redecorating his ship. He didnt have to get bent out of shape. Candy is whats good for Sportacus. As he continued to sulk, Robbie continued hearing the thumping from up above.. What on either is going on? Robbie sighed.. Im not going to get much rest if this continues. So he slinks to his evil eye telescope and stares at Stephanie reaching to send a letter to Sportacus.. NO! Robbie yelled but it was too late. A letter was heading up towards the airship.
High up above the birds the airship was floating like a cloud. Inside though was Sportacus. Scrubbing the last of the gum from his controls. Sighing to himself.. Wow Im finally done. Swiping his sweat beaded brow Sportacus heard that familiar whoosh. He jumped and flipped backwards to catch the mail tube. I wonder who its from? Sportacus thought to himself as he landed from his backwards flip into a split. Smiling to himself when he reaches into the tube and sees pink paper.. Stephanie. A smile crossed his lips as he catches himself whispering her name. " Sportacus, We are having a fourth of July picnic in the park. Hopefully you can come and eat with me. Maybe play some ball too? Love Stephanie." A picnic what a great idea! Sportacus exclaims as he starts grabbing somethings and stuffing them into a blue knapsack. As Sportacus gets ready to drop down on the folks of LazyTown he takes one last look around with his own special telescope. Ahhh! Peace and quiet I wonder if its too peaceful.. Little did Sportacus know that tonight will be the night that the lights went out in Lazytown...
