FIREWORKS AGAIN?
Sportacus and Stephanie were finishing up their breakfast when the Doc and his nurse walked into the cafe. "Stephanie is your wrist hurting you?" the Doc asked as Sportacus invited them to join him. "A little" Stephanie said as she was holding her cast. Sportacus could see in her eyes that she was trying to be brave. What Stephanie didn't know was that Sportacus put her pain pill in her hot cocoa. So that by the time they were to leave she would be sleeping and not in pain as he climbed back up into the airship. As they were talking Stephanie's eyes were beginning to close and soon she had laid her head on table and was fast asleep. Everyone noticed that Stephanie had fallen asleep. "Well, everyone, I think its time for us to say our adieu's" Sportacus said as shook the Doc's hand one more time. If there is anything you ever need please give Mayor Meanswell a call and I will come running. With that Sportacus picked Stephanie up in his two strong arms and carried her to the airship.
Sportacus laid her down on his bed and covered with the white down comforter. Stroking the hair out of her eyes. "Oh Stephanie we are going to have to have that talk. Did Robbie cause this? Who brought down the treehouse? What happened?" Stephanie just breathed in a sigh and snuggled under the warm comforter and drifted off into a deeper sleep. As Stephanie was sleeping Sportacus was piloting the ship back towards Lazytown. He was watching the clouds go by deep in thought of how he could get Stephanie to open up to him. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice that Stephanie was tossing and turning and crying in her sleep.
Stephanie was kicking and clawing at the comforter that felt like Pixels arms around her. She was trying to get away from Pixel. "Sportacus" Stephanie screamed as she sat up crying. She kept screaming his name. He jumped from the control center and ran to her. He could see that she was having trouble breathing. Her eyes were closed but the tears were falling. Sportacus realized that she was having a bad dream and that she was still asleep. He carefully wanted to wake her up. Sportacus pulled her into his lap and sat on the bed. Holding her and whispering to her. "Stephanie, Im right here. Nothing is going to hurt you." He rocked her and held her close. He could feel her heart almost beating out of her body. He realized that whatever was going on in her dream was scaring her to death. Finally she just sagged against his chest and shuddered. "Sportacus?" Stephanie asked as she held on for dear life. She looked into those Icelandic blue eyes and she started to tell him what happened that night. The words just kept coming as she finally told him how she had thought that he was hurt, how she watched the fireworks explode right into the airship. How Pixel kept her from running to the ladder. She told him how she was angry at the guys and how she went up into the treehouse to get away from everyone. How the tree house fell and then she told him about Pixel kissing her.
Sportacus stiffen alittle when she told him about Pixel. "Sportacus" Stephanie said as she placed her small hand on his face. "Please it was just a kiss between friends. It didn't mean anything to me. Bessie explained to me about Love". Stephanie started to smile through her tears. "Don't you see Sportacus, the way I felt for you. The butterflies and then my heartbreaking. I love you Sportacus!" Stephanie said as she kissed him. Sportacus held her close as her lips touched his. He started to feel something that he never had before. Anger! Stephanie felt him stiffen and pull away from her. She noticed that his eyes were clouding up and that his was clenching his hands.
He didn't know how to handle this new emotion. Sportacus started to do push ups. Stephanie watched in fear as he was pushing himself. Up,down,Up down. faster and faster. He was going to blow any minute. Stephanie knew she had to help him through this emotion. Stephanie jumped down off the bed and got in front of him. She tried to get her voice into an authoritative tone. "Magnus Sportacus Scheving!" she said and stomped her foot down. Sportacus just froze in mid pushup. He had never heard Stephanie take that tone with anyone. He looked up at her. She was standing there with her hands on her hips frowning. He started to snicker a little then his mustache was twitching then it happened he laughed. He realized that the emotions he was bottling up inside were telling him that this beautiful innocent person standing in front of him was the love of his life. But that if he didn't do something soon she was going to really get mad at him.
The more Sportacus laughed the more Stephanie got angry.. She was so mad that she pushed him on his butt and walked to the window. "Oh Stephanie, I'm sorry. I just realized that I love you too." he said as he grabbed her and held her close. Just as he did he accidentally hit the switch and shifted the airship to roll to the right. They both fell against the wall of the ship. He tried to hold on to her and at the same time shift the switch back to normal. Unaware that his elbow hit the switch to lower the deck he flipped the switch to right the ship as he did the deck hit the power plant. Sparks start to fly and the lights went out in Lazy Town again!
