Chapter 5

Sportacus woke up and looked at his calendar. It was only Saturday. Tuesday was still three days away. Waiting was not one of Sportacus' strong points. He decided to work out before heading down into LazyTown.

Stephanie woke up as the sunlight came through her window. Her hands moved to her neck and she fingered the locket. Slowly she got out of bed and picked out an outfit out of her closet. It was Saturday and she still hadn't packed for Tuesday. Well I guess I'd better do that, she thought. Then she remembered that she had promised Beth that they'd do something today.

Robbie was shaken from his cell at the usual wake up time. The past two years had been quite interesting. His cell mate, affectionately known as Bubba, pushed past him to be first in line for the showers. Hopefully I'll be out of here soon, Robbie thought to himself.

Stephanie came downstairs and made herself a bowl of cereal. While eating her breakfast she heard the paper land on the front step. Putting her dirty dishes in the sink, she went out and picked up the paper. What a beautiful day its going to be, she said to herself. Coming back inside, Stephanie made a phone call.

Sportacus had cleaned himself up and climbed down the ladder into LazyTown. The kids were playing on the sports field and people were walking around in the great sunshine. Sportacus was going to go play with the kids when Mayor Meanswell came running up to him.

"What's up Mayor?" Sportacus asked cheerfully.

"Something Rotten, I'm afraid." Milford said bluntly. Sportacus gave him a confused look,

"What do you mean?" The Mayor pulled Sportacus aside and told him what Captain Dogooder had relayed to him earlier that morning. Sportacus' jaw dropped at the news of Robbie's possible release.

Beth answered the phone and was glad to hear Stephanie on the other end. The two agreed to meet up later at the movies. Once Stephanie got off the phone she went back upstairs. Her mother and father had gone to work earlier and the house was very quiet. She kind of liked it quiet; it gave a chance to think out aloud. She was in the middle of packing her suitcases when the phone rang downstairs.

Stephanie let it go on the answering machine. She had suitcases to pack and the movies to go to. About an hour later, the phone rang again. Starting to wonder who it was, Stephanie went downstairs and this time picked it up.

"Hello, this is Stephanie." She said as she picked up the phone.

"Stephanie?" The voice asked. Not recognizing who it was she asked,

"Who's there?"

"It's me, Pixel. Wow my invention actually worked! I built my own phone from scratch and hooked it up to the phone line."

"A little bored, were we?" Stephanie asked as she started to giggle. She could hear Pixel laughing in the background.

"Yeah. Hey when are you coming to LazyTown?" He asked.

"I'll be there Tuesday. How are things going over there?" She asked. When she got nothing but silence on the other end, she asked the question again. Then she got a dial tone. Confused Stephanie hung up. Pixel's invention probably still had some bugs in it. Shrugging her shoulders she went back to packing.
