I had my sister go over the story and she pointed out some spelling and grammatical errors. I apologize if those made something hard to understand.
Chapter 9
Mayor Meanswell fell to the ground, hard. He didn't know what to do. Sportacus had never been violent. 'Stephanie' didn't come to him, the Mayor just laid there. Bessie heard the commotion and came outside. She saw Mayor Meanswell lying on the ground and rushed over to him.
"Sportacus what happened?" Bessie asked. 'Sportacus' ignored her and moved on. 'Stephanie' followed him.
"Stephanie what is going on?" Bessie asked. Ignored once again, Bessie turned to Mayor Meanswell.
"Are you alright, Milford?" Bessie inquired. The Mayor only nodded as Bessie helped him to his feet. The two of them walked slowly to Bessie's house.
Sportacus' valiant last effort was enough to push the tube off. He crawled out of the tube and went over to Stephanie. He pushed on the outside while Stephanie pushed on the inside. They easily moved the tube. Stephanie crawled out and the two tried to figure a way out of Robbie's lair.
Robbie heard the commotion and went to investigate. He saw Sportacus and Stephanie looking for a way out. Robbie hid in the shadows and tried to figure out what to do.
Stephanie pointed out the tube that led to the surface. Sportacus lifted her onto his shoulders and she pulled herself up. He followed her up the tube. Stephanie opened the lid and climbed down the ladder. She looked around but her eyes hadn't adjusted to the darkness. Sportacus bent down to be at eye level with Stephanie. His eyes adjusted to the darkness and he saw that they were too late. What ever had happened was now over. Sportacus felt like he failed everyone. Stephanie felt him sigh and stand up straight. She took his hand and laced her fingers between his. Sportacus squeezed her hand and they headed for the Mayor's house.
Bessie sat with the Mayor, who hadn't spoken a word for the past twenty minutes. She didn't know what to say. Bessie had cleaned up the cuts on Mayor Meanswell's hands. Every time Bessie tried to ask about what happened the Mayor just shook his head. Then Bessie looked out the window and saw Sportacus and Stephanie walking toward the Mayor's house. She left the Mayor and rushed outside.
Stephanie saw Bessie charging at them. She scrambled behind Sportacus. Bessie, who was a good head and shoulders shorter than Sportacus, came up and started shouting at them. Sportacus and Stephanie tried to explain what was going on. Stephanie began to cry. That's when her Uncle walked out of Bessie's house.
He walked straight at them and stopped Bessie from shouting. He then stood square in front of Sportacus and stared him in the eyes. Sportacus stood his ground and put Stephanie behind him. Then the Mayor spoke.
"Why?" Was all Mayor Meanswell asked.
"As I was trying to tell Bessie, this is Robbie's doing. He created doubles of Stephanie and myself and then set them loose on LazyTown. Stephanie and I have spent the past six hours trapped in Robbie's lair. We are tired and have had a very trying day. Please you have to understand. Whatever happened, it wasn't us." Sportacus tried to explain. Milford just looked at him. He wasn't sure if he believed him. Then Stephanie came from behind Sportacus.
"I'm not a little girl anymore, Uncle Milford, but you know that no matter how old I get I wouldn't hurt you. Sportacus wouldn't hurt you. Please you must believe us." She pleaded with her Uncle.
"I don't know what to believe, after what I saw today." Uncle Milford said.
