Chapter 5
Sportacus arrived at the doctor's office and knocked on the door. The doctor let him in and they had a seat in his office.
"What's on your mind Dr. Feels Good?" Sportacus asked.
"Well its more like what's on Stephanie's mind?" Dr. Feels Good said.
"Pardon?" Sportacus said, getting nervous.
"While you and Mayor Meanswell were taking care of Stephanie's bed she spoke to me. Granted she wasn't conscious but she spoke to me all the same." The doctor explained.
"What did she say?" Sportacus asked. He started rubbing his hands together and sweat started to form on his forehead.
"Mind you she was delirious but she said 'I love you.' I can only assume she meant you because you spoke to her and you held her hand." Dr. Feels Good dropped the bomb. Sportacus sat there with is mouth hanging open and a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"Sportacus, are you ok?" The doctor asked. Sportacus closed his mouth and swallowed hard.
"Yes, I'm fine. Just a little surprised." Sportacus said.
"Well, Stephanie is a little older than when you got here five summers ago. Its possible that she thinks she loves you but…" Sportacus didn't let the doctor finish.
"Thank you Dr. Feels Good. I have to go." With that, Sportacus rushed back to the Mayor's house.
"I guess that went well." Dr. Feels Good said to himself.
Sportacus arrived at Mayor Meanswell's and knocked on the door. Milford opened it and let Sportacus in.
"I was going to try to get a hold of you. Bessie found some paperwork that has to be done immediately and I must go to Town Hall. You can watch Stephanie right?" Mayor Meanswell asked.
"Of course, I can. How is she?" Sportacus asked.
"She's fine. I'll call you when I'm finished." Mayor Meanswell left for Town Hall. Sportacus then took the stairs two at a time again and reached Stephanie's door. He knocked and then entered the room.
"Sportacus!" Stephanie smiled.
"I promised I'd be back." Sportacus smiled back.
"I have a question for you." Stephanie said.
"Ok, shoot." Sportacus replied.
"How did I end up in this pajamas? I don't think they were the ones I went to bed in." Stephanie asked. Sportacus swallowed and told her, "We called Bessie and had her come over and take care of them. I didn't think that you'd want your Uncle, the doctor, or myself taking care of it." He explained, blushing.
"Thanks. That would've been quite embarrassing. Uncle Milford still thinks that I'm eight years old. I think its hard for him to realize I'm older." Stephanie said.
"Me too." Sportacus said under his breath.
"What was that?" Stephanie asked.
"Nothing." Sportacus quickly replied.
"No, I heard it again. That's like the twentieth time today I've heard a noise but I can't figure out where its coming from." Stephanie said. Sportacus got up and looked around the room. Then he went over to the closet and opened the door. Inside the closet, the noise grew louder. Sportacus parted Stephanie's pink outfits and looked behind them. All he saw was an empty wall. However, he looked harder and saw a little hole. Sticking his finger in the hole, Sportacus pulled. A section of wall popped out and Sportacus looked into it. What he found made him jump back.
