ROCKETS RED GLARE
Boom! Goes the first rocket as Ziggy and Stingy were thrown to the ground. The boom was so loud that it woke Stephanie up from her nap. She sat straight up and her eyes followed the rocket. It was heading straight for the airship. "Sportacus" Stephanie yelled as she jumped off the bench and started to run towards the fireworks. "No" Pixel yelled as he grabbed her and threw her to the ground. "Stephanie let me see what I can do with my control board" Pixel said as he saw tears in her eyes. Just then this loud crunching crashing noise happened. The rocket hit the airship. The right wing had a huge hole in it. "Pixel do something!" Stephanie shouted as the airship rocked violently in the sky. Boom! another rocket had just launched and it was heading on the same course. Stephanie started to crawl away from Pixel.
As the airship rolled and dipped to the right the second rocket clipped the left wing. Stephanie just shook with tears streaming down her face. The Mayor and Miss Bessie, and the LT Fire Dept. tried to stop the rockets as Pixel was able to drag Stingy and Ziggy away from the smoke and fire. Stephanie was so upset with everything that was happening. Her picnic was ruined. Sportacus was up in his airship and she didnt know if he was hurt or not. She marched right over to Ziggy and Stingy. "How could you? Havent you learned anything from Sportacus about playing with matches?" Stephanie yelled at them. Stingy and Ziggy were so scared they had never seen Stephanie like this before. She was so mad and upset. She had never felt this angry . Why would she be this angry? Stephanie turned and ran off towards the tree house. Unknown to everyone Robbie was standing behind the tree gleefully clasping his hands together. This is better than what I could have done. Now some peace and quiet. No more music, no more sports and as he looked up he saw that the airship was limping away from Lazy Town.. Yipee! Robbie said as he stripped off his Uncle Sam's disguise.
Everyone turned and heard Robbie cheer. He was pointing towards the sky and laughing. "Oh my!" the Mayor said as he grabbed Bessie's hand. Pixel, Stingy and Ziggy all lowered their heads and cried. Stephanie was staring out the tree house window when she saw the smoke coming from the airship as it limped away from Lazy Town. "Sportacus" Stephanie cried and she fell to the floor of the treehouse.
"Sportacus" Sportacus heard an anguish cry of his name as he clawed and struggled to get to the controls of the airship. When his crystal started to blink he tried to get to the door to see who was in trouble. But at the same time the first rocket hit the ship and threw him back against the wall and knocked the breath out of him. "Stephanie" Sportacus heartbeat quicken as he realized it was her cry that urged him on to gain control of the airship. As he struggled to the controls he was thrown again as the second rocket hit the ship. Knowing what he had to do. Sportacus found every ounce of strength that was in his body and grabbed the controls. " I have to get out of here for now" Sportacus said to himself. "Stephanie I will be back my love, I promise". he sighed to himself as he limped the airship towards the sunset. Stephanie heard a rumbling noise and people yelling below. They couldnt stop the last rocket from blasting off. The problem now was the rocket was heading right towards the tree house.
