Chapter 11

The doctor walked into the waiting room and escorted Mayor Meanswell, Sportacus, and Pixel to Stephanie's room. As they reached the door the doctor cautioned them about her hair and the dent. "Be sure not to say anything." He reminded them. "Push the call button if you need something."

The doctor left them alone and the three entered the room. Shock was their first reaction, followed by sadness. Stephanie's hair was completely shaved off on the back of her head. The doctor was right. The dent was huge. Sportacus looked at it closely. There was something familiar about that shape. Then it hit him. When he saved Stephanie she had been laying near the bench by the sports filed. The same one he had collapsed on when he had his sugar meltdown. Sportacus grabbed the Mayor and pulled him out of the room.

Back in LazyTown, Trixie, Stingy, Ziggy, and Bessie were setting up decorations that said, "Welcome Home Stephanie!" They thought this would cheer her up and she would be able to forget about her broken arm for awhile. No one knew about what happened after the CAT scan. Bessie assumed that the Mayor and Sportacus went to pick Stephanie up. But when they hadn't come back by three o'clock, Bessie was worried. She tried to radio the airship but got no response.

Vigdís was now sitting up and she and her husband were talking. The doctors had no explanation for her miraculous recovery. Number 9 was sure that his return had brought her back from the edge of oblivion. He left his wife for a few moments to call Sportacus and tell him the good news. But he too, couldn't raise Sportacus.

Pixel held Stephanie's hand and kissed it. He desperately wanted to speak to her and assure her things were going to be ok. Stephanie was still out from the anesthesia and pixel wished he could see her smile.

Meanwhile Sportacus told the Mayor that he recognized the dent from the bench. He also told the Mayor that it was no accident he fell off his Sky Chaser. He had a pretty good idea who was behind it, Robbie Rotten. Sportacus told the Mayor he must go to his parents and then back to LazyTown. The Mayor agreed and said he would call if he needed him.
