ROBBIE THE ZERO OR THE HERO?
Robbie turned over in his lazy chair and his blankie slipped to the floor. Brrr! Robbie said as he reaches for his blankie. It's a little chilly in here. Robbie stretches and gets up and walks over to his thermostat. He slams the monster with his large mallet. "Work!" Robbie yells at it as he misses the monster and hits his knees. "Ouch! I meant to do that!" he says to no one. Robbie limps over to his evil eye telescope to check on the town. "What is this!" Robbie yells as he sees nothing but white? "What?" Robbie mumbles to himself as he bundles up in his coat and long scarf and climbs to the top.
Stephanie watched as the kids went into her Uncles house. "Now where is that kitten?" Stephanie thought to herself as she bundled up her pink coat with white fur hat. The wind was picking up and it blew her past the tree and into the street. With the snow falling now in big flakes and the wind was howling Stephanie was heading to the outskirts of town. Keeping her head down to keep the snow from Stephanie kept walking. Stephanie stopped walking and realized she would never find the kitten in this storm and hoped that it was okay. With her lips turning blue and her nose red, Stephanie started to slow down walking. She was getting tired of pushing herself against the snow and wind. Ever so slowly Stephanie sank to the snow. "Just a minutes rest" Stephanie said as she huddled in the snow and fell fast asleep.
Miles away in SkiTown enjoying the warmth of the crackling fire. Sportacus sat deep in thought. Something wasnt right. His crystal wouldnt pick up anything wrong this far away but in his heart he knew something was wrong. Mayor Doesright sensing that Sportacus was worried about his "family" in LazyTown asked the Sheriff if he could raise the Sheriff in LazyTown. Knowing that Sportacus was worried for he hadnt moved from the spot for an hour. Sportacus heard the noise coming from the short wave radio as Sheriff Cuffy tried to raise the Sheriff or anyone in LazyTown. Nothing but static on the shortwave for a few minutes then a voice came over the radio. "Sheriff Cuffy this is Pixel from LazyTown, is Sportacus with you?" Sportacus took the mike and answered back" Pixel this is Sportacus how is everyone?" When Sportacus heard Pixels voice on the shortwave he felt a sense of relief in his heart that everyone was okay. " Sportacus, this is Mayor Meanswell.. Stephanie is missing. We cant find her anywhere and the storm is getting worse!" Sportacus felt a knot forming in his stomach as he heard those words over the shortwave. "Sportacus did you hear me?" Mayor Meanswell well asked. Then right as Sportacus was going to respond the static increased and the connection was lost. Sportacus threw down the mike and headed out the door. "Sportacus, please wait" the Mayor said as he and the Sheriff grabbed his arms. "The weather is bad and your airship doesnt fly in the cold. Please as soon as the snow stops I promise we will send a team with you to search for her" the Sheriff promised as Sportacus shook off their arms and walked to the window. "Stephanie" sighed Sportacus as his hand touched the window. "Sportacus" Stephanie sighed as the snow was covering her up.
Robbie pushed and pushed and finally the door to his lair opened. "Whew! that was hard work" Robbie said as he wiped the sweat from his brow. "I hope Sportaflake didnt see that" Robbie laughed as he started to climb out of his hole. Just as his foot hit the top rung he slipped and fell head first into the snow. Sputtering the snow out of his mouth Robbie came nose to nose to something warm and pink. "Meow" the kitten said as it snuggled up to Robbies chin. Robbie jumped back and slipped again in the snow. "the beast is back" Robbie said as he felt his cheek. That wasn't so bad Robbie thought to himself. Looking to see if anyone was foolish enough to be around.. Robbie picked up the kitten and placed it in his deep pocket. Scratching the little kitten's head Robbie says "dont get use to this, your not here for long". The kitten meowed and fell fast asleep. Walking around the billboard that protected his door from wind and rain on one side Robbie couldnt believe how deep the snow was.. "Wow, snow!" Robbie yelled as he was leaping and running like a kid. A big kid that hadn't seen snow in years. As Robbie was running around throwing snow he tripped over something. "What?" Robbie said as he picked himself up. "There's no tree here" Robbie leaned over and started to brush the snow away from the lump he tripped over. Robbie quickly found pink soft material. "Oh no!" Robbie said as he found the face of Stephanie. So still so pale. Robbie knew that being out in the cold was not good. He also realized that if he didnt do something for her. That Sportacus would never forgive him. He might not like Sportacus but he would never do any real harm to him or the people he loved. Robbie tried to pick her up like he had seen Sportacus do many times before. But since Robbie eats nothing but cake and candy he has no strength to do so. Trying several times, Robbie slides down to sit beside the ladder. "Oh no! what am I going to do?" Robbie cried as the snow continued to fall.
The snow was falling harder and the snow was getting deeper as Robbie realized he had to move now. Both Stephanie and himself would be covered shortly. Mustering up every ounce of strength if any he lifted her up on his shoulder and climbed the three rungs. Puffing and huffing Robbie got them to the top. He leaned over in hopes to slide her off when Stephanie shifted her weight and they both fell over and started the slide down into his lair.
Thump thump as they both landed on the floor. Robbie laid there on the floor breathing what he thought was he last breathe. Then there was that feeling again. Something warm, for the little kitten crawled up on his chest and started to nuzzle his chin. Robbie started to laugh as the kitten continued to nuzzle. "Not now beast" Robbie half snarled as he cradled the kitten. Looking to see if Stephanie had awoke, Robbie got up and gave the kitten some milk so that he could check on her. While the kitten was lapping it's milk, Robbie stood over Stephanie wondering what he should do next. "Hmm.. let me think" Robbie said as he began to pace. Thinking to him self. He realized she was wearing her wet clothes. Not really knowing what to do. Robbie knelt down beside Stephanie and tapped her cheek. "Stephanie come on wake up" Robbie kept saying..
Slowly Stephanie started to wake up. "Mmm.. Sportacus?" Stephanie whispered as she tried to open her eyes. "No guess again!" someone said as Stephanie opened her eyes."Robbie Rotten?" Stephanie tried to sit up but she was so tired and her head was hurting her. "Achoo! Stephanie sneezed right into Robbies face. "Im sorry" Stephanie said as Robbie acted like he was wiping germs from his suit. He helped her up and she just stood there staring at his many disguises. "Whoa Robbie" Stephanie said as she started to spin around his lair. Stephanie was so overwhelmed by Robbie's home and her cold she started to wobble. "Robbie" Stephanie said before she fell into his arms. "Hey Pinkie are you alright?" Robbie asked as he sat her down on the floor. Stephanie slowly nodded and sneezed again. Robbie rolled his eyes he didnt say a word to her. He walked over to his dresser and took out a pair of flannel jammies with kitties on them. "Here put these on!" Robbie said as Stephanie looked around for a private spot. Robbie blushed a little and turned around to heat up some cocoa.. "I wonder what Sportacus would think if I gave her cocoa full with sugar!" Robbie said with a laugh.
While Robbie was fussing around the kitchen area, Stephanie had changed into the warm jammies and crawled into his orange lazy chair and fell fast asleep. Robbie was so busy fixing the cocoa he didnt notice that the kitten had wondered off. "Beast? Beast?" Robbie said as he was looking down at the empty bowl. "Where are you?" Robbie began to search his lair. Over the machines, under his desk and even gasp in the heater? Robbie was about to give up when he saw a site. There in his orange chair was Stephanie and the kitten curled up fast asleep.
