FORGIVE AND FORGET
It was a little after 12 when Stephanie jumped out of bed. "Oh my" I have over slept. She quickly began to make her bed and clean up her clothes from last night. The mixed smells of dirt,tears and smoke lingered in her clothes. As she was about to put them in the hamper she noticed another smell. She held the back of her dress up to her and breathed in. She smiled a little smile to herself as she could imagine his strong arms around her again. He had come back for her. He had come back to Lazy Town. Not only did she need him the town needed him.
I wonder if the lights are back on. For Stephanie and Sportacus were in his airship when the lights went out. It was like in a dream watching the tiny twinkling lights go out one by one. It was like people were snuffing out candles. It was such a breathtaking site and to feel his arms and his kiss. "Oh!" Stephanie squealed as she ran her fingertips over her lips. His kiss was so gentle so sweet like being kissed by a butterfly.
"Enough girl" Stephanie said to herself as she was standing in the middle of her room. You have chores to do. When she went to reach for her pink comforter she felt a snap in her wrist. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" Stephanie cried as she grabbed her wrist. The Mayor her Uncle comes running into the room. "Are you alright my dear?" he asked as he sees that she is holding her wrist. "No Uncle" Stephanie says with tears in her eyes. "My wrist hurts" "Oh my, What are we going to do? The doctor is out of town on a convention." He takes Stephanie into the kitchen and places ice on her wrist. The wrist was turning blue and swelling fast. "It doesnt look good, maybe I will call Bessie. She might know what to do." Mayor grabs the phone and dials Bessies cell.
"Hello" Bessie says as she hands Sportacus another wrench or was it a screwdriver. She had went to check out the light company after all she owns stock in the company and saw that Sportacus was working on fixing the switch. "Bessie this is Milford can you come over, its Stephanie im afraid she hurt and I dont know what to do?" "Stephanies hurt?" Bessie looked up at Sportacus who was jumping down to listen to the conversation. Sportacus gently takes the phone away from Bessie. "Mayor this is Sportacus, whats wrong with Stephanie". As he asked the Mayor what was wrong he could hear her crying softly in the background. "Mayor tell her im on my way"."Bessie I have to go to her can you please stay here and make sure that no one. I mean no one goes up there until I get back." Bessie shakes her head and smiles. "Go on" "Oh and Bessie. Dont touch anything" with that Sportacus starts to do backflips and then he begins to run.
Being a gentlemen always he knocks on the door before entering. "Mayor? Mayor" Sportacus calls out. "In here" he hears the Mayor comforting Stephanie as he holds her hand. "Stephanie" Sportacus calls her name as he rushes over to her. Wiping the tears from her face he gently holds her wrist to look at it. "Mayor Im afraid its broke" Sportacus picks Stephanie up from the counter and tells the Mayor he was heading to the next town for a doctor. As Sportacus was heading out the door. "Mayor can you call the next town and tell them we will be arriving?" "Oh my, yes of course, Mayor Doesright is a friend of mine". Quickly as he came in Sportacus was out the door with his precious load.
The pain was being to be too much for Stephanie. Sensing her need for comfort. Sportacus lowered Stephanie a little so that her ear would be resting on his chest. The beating of this gentle heart and the warm breath on her face. Stephanie was lulled into peaceful sleep.
