Chapter 17
The next morning the doctor entered Sportacus' room. Stephanie's head was on the bed and though her body was still in the chair. They were still holding hands and the doctor quietly woke them both up.
"The Mayor is here to take you back to LazyTown. Stephanie if you'll excuse us. I need to get Sportacus ready for transport." Dr. Rottenstein said. Sleepily Stephanie nodded, got up, and left the room.
"Good Morning Stephanie!" Uncle Milford smiled. Stephanie smiled back and rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"What time is it, Uncle Milford?" Stephanie asked.
Surprised that she said something to him the Mayor answered, "Its 11:00 am. Check out time." Stephanie nodded and asked him if they could talk later. He agreed that they should. Then the doctor brought Sportacus out of the room in a wheelchair. A nurse brought a wrapped package over and handed it to Stephanie. She winked at her and told her to wait until they got home to open it. Confused, Stephanie agreed and took the package. Mayor Meanswell pushed the wheelchair out to a waiting wheelchair van. After everyone was loaded up the van headed back to LazyTown. Most of the fifteen minute ride back was filled with talk of what would be going on the rest of the day. The police wanted Sportacus to come over as soon as possible and the Mayor said that Sportacus' airship would be docked at the police station until Sportacus was back on his feet.
Finally they arrived in LazyTown. The van driver brought Sportacus out of the van as Stephanie and Mayor Meanswell got out. Sportacus decided he was up to going to the police station and the Mayor said they would as soon as Stephanie went to his house to grab some stuff first. Stephanie quickly ran to her Uncle's house and jumped into the shower. She then got dressed and put the special package upstairs in her room. She rejoined Sportacus and her Uncle about fifteen minutes later.
The trio headed for the police station and was welcomed by the chief of police, Captain Dogooder. He explained that the fake Sportacus and Stephanie were in the cell next to Robbie Rotten. As they went down the hall to the cells, officers welcomed Sportacus back and some even saluted. They reached the cells to see Robbie sitting on his cot with bags around his eyes. He looked a lot like Ricky the Raccoon.
"Robbie you have some visitors." Captain Dogooder said. When Robbie saw Stephanie and Sportacus, he freaked.
"Get that pink haired girl and Sportakook out of here!" Robbie shouted.
"No such luck, Robbie." Stephanie glared at him.
"Sportacus is going to decide what to do with you. I just thought he should see you before he decides." The Captain said. Then taking Stephanie, Sportacus, and Mayor Meanswell back to his office he explained what the police found when they raided Robbie's lair. Instructions on how to make the doubles were confiscated. Sportacus said the instructions should be destroyed and so should the doubles.
"We can't have them around. They are dangerous." Sportacus said.
"I agree. In fact we shut off the doubles. They had an off switch on their necks." Captain Dogooder explained.
"You know we should give them to Pixel to dismantle. He might be able to use them for spare parts for his inventions." Stephanie suggested.
"Good idea. What do you think, Captain?" Mayor Meanswell asked.
"That's Sounds like a good idea to me. I'll drop them at his house later today. What about Robbie?" The Captain asked.
