Chapter 2: Meeting a boy named Samuel
Stephanie jumped out of her bed when she saw coming to her.
"What do you want now?" asked Stephanie. "You've already must up enough!"
"Shut it!" replied Robbie. He was holding something that Stephanie thought was dangerous. She knew was going to do something bad. She just didn't know what. Her heart started pumping faster than ever. She felt as though she was having an heart attack.
Crowded streets are cleared away
One by One
Hollow heroes separate
as they run.
Stephanie looked left then right. She saw a window on her right. She started to walk to the window. When Stephanie would move to the window, Robbie would move also. Stephanie looked behind her and took a breath and flipped out of the window. Robbie started to run to the window. He held onto her hand as she hopped out. The outside was cold and frigid. She looked up and saw that she was still being held onto. Stephanie began to have a nose bleed.
"Let go!" she demanded. She pulled herself up and bit his arm. Robbie started to shake. Stephanie's teeth sank into his skin. Robbie still wouldn't let go.
"Damn it!" yelled Stephanie. Stephanie started to stress.
You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
Strong men die.
Stephanie used her free hand. She used it to get out of Robbie's grasp. Robbie pulled out the same weapon he used last week. Stephanie recognized it now. Stephanie started to swing herself. She got herself up high enough to kick out of his grasp. Stephanie fell and was about to land on the ground.
"OH MY GOD!" yelled Stephanie. She was too far away from Lazy town for Sportacus' crystal to start blinking. She landed on a sharp thorn that went right into her. Robbie saw the whole thing.
"Phase 1: Get rid of pink haired girl completed. Phase 2: Stop Sportacus permanently is about to start." he whispered.
Show me how it ends it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try.
Stephanie opened her eyes and saw that a big sharp thorn was right in her. She was grateful that she wasn't killed. She decided to lie there and wait for a miracle. She slept a deadly sleep. She heard Robbie Rotten's footsteps. He saw Stephanie thinking she was dead.
"Now it's time for phase 2: Stop Sportacus permanently!" he said to himself not knowing that Stephanie heard every word. "Oh no, he'll probably do what he tried to do to me!" she though. It turned out that she pretending to be dead. Robbie kicked Stephanie's body. He then walked away. Stephanie then slept for real.
If you find your family, don't you cry
in this land of make-believe, dead and dry?
Stephanie dreamt about her uncle, Sportacus, Miss Busybody, and her friends. Her dream became a nightmare. This dream looked like more than a vision. It looked like it was going to happen. There was even a part in her dream where she met a boy. Her dream lasted for ours. She knew it was a vision. A vision in her mind.
You're so cold, but you feel alive
Lay your hand on me one last time.
Show me how it ends it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try.
Show me how it ends it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try.
She opened her eyes. There was a long bandage around her. When she would move, it would hurt. She found that she was lying on a white bed. In front of her was a boy with long blond hair. It was in a pony tail. He had long bangs. He had light blue eyes. His hair went down to his knees. He wore a blue shirt and long khaki pants. Stephanie looked as he was stirring water.
"Hello." whispered Stephanie. The boy looked at her.
"Looks like Sleeping Beauty has finally waken." replied the boy.
"I'm Stephanie." said Stephanie.
"I'm Samuel." replied the boy. Stephanie got out of his bed. It turned out that she could walk.
"Hey, did you recover me?" asked Stephanie.
"Sure did." replied Samuel.
It's alright. It's alright. It's alright. It's alright.
It's alright. It's alright. It's alright. It's alright.
It's alright.
Stephanie kept her eyes on him.
"So Samuel. Are we in your home right now." asked Stephanie.
"Yes, it's all I have left." replied Samuel.
"Why?" asked Stephanie. Samuel frowned. He sat down with her and took her hand.
"A year ago, my parents and I were driving from the grocery store. It was raining hard. There was a drunk driver coming toward us. His car and our car collided with each other. Our car was wrecked. So was my parents' life. No one came to help us." explained Samuel. Stephanie was worried about Samuel. Stephanie put her hand on his face. She then hugged him.
"I'm sorry to hear that." whispered Stephanie. Samuel smiled. Stephanie smiled back.
"Thanks for the concern. At least some one cares." said Samuel.
"Can I help you?" asked Stephanie.
"I wish you could. But we can't change the past. If only Sportacus was here." replied Samuel.
"You know Sportacus?" asked Stephanie. Samuel looked at her.

Back at the hospital, a nurse came back in to Stephanie's room. She saw that she wasn't there. Stephanie's uncle was informed about this. When he was, he immediately called Sportacus. When Sportacus heard this, he almost fainted. Robbie Rotten made sure he would make everyone think that he was innocent. He knew that Phase 2 was about to happen. Stingy, Ziggy, and Trixie heard about this. As first they thought that Robbie Rotten must have done this. But then they decided that wasn't true. No one knew she was with Samuel…
