Chapter 13
"Breaking point or not is revenge really what you want?" Amanda asked.
"Well, it's not exactly revenge, remember? Besides what would you do instead?" He said half-smiling.
By now Robbie was drenched in sweat. The thought of Stephanie telling everyone was bad enough but Bubba. That had to be one of the worst things that he could think of.
"You can't. You're such a goody two-shoes. You wouldn't have the audacity to actually do something like that." Robbie suddenly seemed to grown a backbone. But it didn't bother Stephanie at all.
"I'm not a little kid anymore. I won't back down. Don't believe me? Just wait." She taunted him. Then she got up and left Robbie to stew in his own misery.
"I suppose you're right, Sportacus. It's not completely revenge. But…" Amanda was interrupted by Stephanie's appearance.
"Hi guys. What's up?" She asked. Stephanie had a great big smile on her face.
"How did it go?" Sportacus asked.
"Great. You would've loved to see him sweat like that." Stephanie answered. Amanda made a face and a crack.
"Well then Stephanie. I thought you had learned from your mistake last time but…"
"Hey now. All we did was talk, I swear." Stephanie replied. Sportacus had a huge smile on his face and it was obvious he was holding back his laughter.
"All right, all right, enough laughing at my expense, guys. So what are we going to do now?" Stephanie asked.
"Nothing. That's the beauty of it. Robbie will sweat it out for at least a week, wondering if we're actually going to do something. By the time he figures it out we'll have had a good laugh at his expense." Sportacus explained.
"I get it, psychological warfare. That's the best kind. Make him panic over something that isn't going to happen. Wow guys. You're right it's not completely revenge but really a good prank. So what did you tell Robbie anyway?" Amanda asked.
Later, after having a good laugh, Amanda left Sportacus and Stephanie alone. Amanda and Trixie were going to the store for some new music. Sportacus and Stephanie decided to take a walk around LazyTown. As they walked they held hands. They didn't care if anyone saw them any more. Now that they had completed their plan, everything was going to try to get back to normal.
People stared at them like they did the first time they ever held hands in public. Sportacus didn't seem to care but Stephanie was blushing. He noticed that she gripped his hand very hard and he decided to stop.
"Is there something wrong?" he asked a little concerned.
"People keep staring at us like we never have held hands before. It's making me nervous. I'm glad that they don't know the truth about what happened." She said.
"Well as far as they know I was the one who snapped on you. They are probably marveling at the fact that you forgave me." He smiled.
'When in fact it's the other way around; let's go somewhere that doesn't have people watching us." Stephanie suggested.
"Why Stephanie, I'm shocked that you would suggest such a thing." Sportacus said pretending to be stunned. Stephanie just poked him and the two went off.
