CHAPTER NINE
The basketball court was right over the small
wall, so Stephanie sat on the bench and watched the two play. Robbie
kept darting looks at Stephanie in case she were going to do something.He had no clue how helpless she felt.
She sat on the bench and eventually put her feet up and hugged Robbie's
long knees. Sportacus noticed 'Robbie' and stopped the game for a
moment.
"Are you alright, Robbie?" Sportacus asked. "Do you want to play?"
Stephanie buried her face and cried. Sportacus' crystal went off, but the vision he had confused him.
He saw the real Stephanie... not in Robbie's body... crying.
She was on the bench with her face buried in her knees, and next to Sportacus was the real Robbie.
It was supposed to be happening now, but the placement of things were all wrong, and Sportacus stood there staring off until the vision stopped in seconds...
The crystal stopped blinking once Stephanie in
Robbie's body stopped crying. She wiped her eyes and looked at
Sportacus who tried to shake off the feeling.
"Is everything okay, Sportacus?" Stephanie asked. "Do you need to go save some one?"
"No... I think everything solved itself..." Sportacus said hesitantly.
Robbie crossed his arms and looked at Sportacus with a bit of annoyance.
"Do you want to play?" Sportacus asked Stephanie again.
"Robbie Rotten!" Robbie asked. "Play basketball? Ha!"
"Oh, come one, Stephanie!" Sportacus said enthusiastically. "Anything can happen!"
"That's right!" The real Stephanie said enthusiastically.
A song seemed to kick in, and to anyone who didn't know what was going on, they'd see a rare moment of 'Robbie' and Sportacus dancing to a song. Stephanie sang, but she was still as Robbie, so she confused Sportacus a bit...
Na na na na na na na, Anything can happen! Na na na na na na na Anything at all...!
Hey! Even if you don't think there's a way,
I'm here to say, Light can turn to white and night today...
Oh, yes things can change,
No matter how weird or wild or strange!
So we go 'na na na na na na na,'
Anything can happen...
Na na na na na na na,
Anything at all...!
Na na na na na na na, Anything can happen! Na na na na na na na Anything at all...!
Robbie rolled his eyes and suggested they'd get on with the game.He
could cut the game short with his plan, but when Sportacus and that
pink girl, even when in his body, were jamming to a song, they couldn't
be stopped.
But they would. He'd stop all the fun, very soon.
All Sportacus had to do was pass Robbie the ball...
