Chapter 7
The news spread through LazyTown like wildfire. There wasn't a man, woman, or child that didn't know about Sportacus and Stephanie. That included the inmates in the prison. Robbie actually smiled at the thought of him being the reason for the breakup. In the beginning it had only been a comment to get control of the situation but it had actually worked out better. Stephanie had believed him and something Sportacus had said had driven her to him.
Robbie lay down on his cot and recalled that evening. Stephanie was a good kisser and kissing her back was just as good. He could see why Sportacus enjoyed it so much. But of course now he wouldn't be getting any. Then Robbie had a great idea. A wonderfully awful idea.
Stephanie sat outside on the swing in the backyard. She wanted people to stop asking questions. Since the breakup she couldn't get a moment's peace. So finally, after her Uncle made it quite clear to everyone to leave his niece alone, she was able to sit on the swing and just think.
That's all she'd been doing lately. Trying to figure out why she had kissed Robbie. She despised him and everything he stood for.
While Stephanie was soul searching, Sportacus was trying to get his life in order. Since saying those hurtful things to Stephanie, he had been on a work out binge. Pushups, pull-ups, flips, and anything else he could think of. Exercising helped him sort out his problems.
Sportacus couldn't ignore what Stephanie had done. But he remembered what she had told him that Robbie said. Robbie wasn't trustworthy but in her fragile emotional state, Stephanie must have believed him. With her love sick and Robbie the cause, Stephanie had just reacted.
All the feelings running through her mind Stephanie wasn't thinking. So when he told her that her dreams were more important than them, it pushed her over. But her dream was to be with him. Quickly, he stopped his pushups and stood up. His shirt came off to reveal his sweat-covered muscles. Then the rest of his clothes came off as he jumped into the shower. (spark spark sorry I almost shorted out my own keyboard!) He had to see Stephanie.
Amanda and Trixie were walking to the Mayor's house. The two had become good friends and they hoped to convince Stephanie to do something fun today. They had been unable to convince her the day before. It had been three days since Stephanie and Sportacus split up. She needed to get her mind on other things. As they approached the house, Trixie pointed out that the airship was parked close by.
"Do you think they're trying to workout their problems?" she asked.
"I hope so. I hate to see the two of them apart like this." Amanda replied.
"What actually happened between them?" Trixie asked. Amanda swallowed hard and lied,
"Good question, I have no idea." She had promised Stephanie to not tell a soul what really happened. Then she rang the doorbell at the Mayor's house.
Mayor Meanswell answered the door. He told the girls that Stephanie was in the backyard with Sportacus. The girls decided to let the two speak and promised to come back later. After the girls left, Bessie came over to her husband.
"Are you ok?" She asked.
"I'm just so worried about Stephanie. She starts college soon and now this whole thing with her and Sportacus. I mean…" he stopped.
"I know it has been upsetting but if I know Stephanie and Sportacus they'll work it out. The two of them are perfect for each other and they'll never give up." Bessie smiled.
"I guess you're right. Well, Mrs. Meanswell care to join me for a little lunch?" He asked.
"How about skipping lunch and just having some dessert?" she asked.
"My kind of woman. I knew there was a good reason to marry you." He joked. Playfully Bessie slapped him and the two rushed upstairs. So while one couple was strengthening their relationship, another couple was trying to piece theirs back together.
