Chapter 13

Stephanie began to bite her nails as the two Sportacus's fought. She could feel her nerves reaching their breaking point as the Mayor, Bessie, and the kids came out to see what was going on. Upon seeing two Sportacus's the Mayor's jaw dropped. Everyone watching did the same thing. Only Stephanie's mouth was closed with the exception of her nails.

"Ow!" She cried as she bit her finger instead of a nail. At that point one of the Sportacus's crystals beeped. That Sportacus tried to get away to help her. The other didn't seem to notice and continued to fight. Stephanie saw this and knew which one was the real one. Unfortunately, the real Sportacus had to try to get the other to stop. The two rolled around. One was punching while the other tried to block the punches. Finally, one of the Sportacus's pinned the other. The one that pinned the other began wailing on the pinned one with a vengeance. Trying to block the punches wasn't working.

Then out of nowhere, Stephanie jumped on top of the one throwing the punches. She began to hit him. Surprised, he stopped punching the Sportacus on the ground and turned to hit Stephanie. The Sportacus on the ground became enraged and began to hit the other. Stephanie fell to the ground when the other Sportacus on the ground got up. Mayor Meanswell rushed over and helped Stephanie get out of the way. Suddenly from around the corner came a group of LazyTown Patrolmen. They got into it and separated the two. Subduing them was difficult but finally they were able to do it. Once they were subdued one of the Sportacus's collapsed. Stephanie ran over to him.

His breathing was irregular and his face was covered in bruises. She looked over him and saw that if he didn't get help soon he would be in serious trouble.

"Get Dr. Feels Good NOW!" She shouted. The other Sportacus was showing no remorse for what he had done. The Mayor had the police arrest him and haul him away. They also got the fake Stephanie out of the tree house and arrested her. Tears started to form in Stephanie's eyes.

"This can't happen to you. I need you. Don't leave me." Stephanie whispered to Sportacus. He tried to answer but he didn't have the strength. Dr. Feels Good arrived with a crew of paramedics. They moved Stephanie out of the way and tried to stabilize Sportacus.

"He has some broken ribs and a possible punctured lung. Load him up in the ambulance. We have to get him to the nearest hospital quickly." Dr. Feels Good ordered the paramedics. Stephanie wanted to climb into the ambulance with Sportacus but they wouldn't let her. Dr. Feels Good said they would be in the neighboring town's hospital. FunTown was a good fifteen miles away. The ambulance left LazyTown with sirens blaring and at top speed.

Mayor Meanswell grabbed Stephanie and they got in his car. They drove to FunTown and got there a little after the ambulance. They hurried into the hospital and were told to wait in the waiting room. Stephanie sat there staring off into space. Uncle Milford came over to her and hugged her. She pushed away and sat further over. The Mayor tried to comfort her but she just sat there and refused to answer him. A million things were running through her head. Then Dr. Feels Good came into the waiting room.
