Sportacus had done what he had to do long before Robyn had returned and was feeling much more comfortable now. He was still feeling extremely embarrassed and didn't quite know what he'd do when he next needed the bathroom. It was a definite certainty that Robyn would be even more uncomfortable about helping him than she'd been before. The only thing he could do was wait and see what happened and if push came to shove he was sure he could at least crawl to the bathroom if nothing else.

Sportacus lifted his head when he heard Robyn laughing almost uncontrollably and was curious as to why. It was only when he saw what Robyn was holding in her hand that he understood and burst out laughing himself. Who knew that seeing someone holding a banana could be so funny?

It was quite some time before either of them stopped laughing; their embarrassment had eased a great deal which was a relief to both of them. Sportacus was still wiping tears of laughter from his eyes when Robyn came over and sat on the edge of his bed.

"Are you feeling any better?" Robyn asked tenderly placing one of her hands on top of one of Sportacus'

"You know, I think I'm feeling much better. That moving around earlier did a lot of good and all the laughing has made an improvement as well." Sportacus answered taking Robyn's hand in his.

"That's good." Robyn smiled and then looked away for a second before speaking again, "sorry about the hand slipping thing. I was a little bit nervous."

Sportacus chuckled slightly and shook his head, "its fine. I was pretty nervous too."

Robyn smiled a little in response and then looked over to the fruit counter; "do you want something to eat?" she asked trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, sure. I think I'll skip having a banana this time though." Sportacus laughed squeezing Robyn's hand before letting it go so she could get up and prepare some food.

The Mayor and Bessie ate in companionable silence. The Mayor had told Bessie about Robyn's strange reaction to being asked how things were going with Sportacus and both of them were trying to work it out. It was confusing to say the least as Robyn and Sportacus had always gotten on together perfectly despite some awkward moments along the way. In the end Bessie gave in, she couldn't work it out and decided she'd have to try to worm it out of Robyn the next time she saw her. She knew it couldn't be anything bad and didn't seem to be related to Sportacus' reaction to Robyn when he caught her after she'd fallen from the airship.

Bessie's thoughts were interrupted when the Mayor got up from his chair and came over to her and whispered into her ear. She immediately left any thoughts of finishing off her dinner when she heard what the Mayor proposed they do for dessert.

The refreshingly cool evening air flowed through the door of the airship and circulated inside. Robyn sat on the end of the open door and looked over the town with Sportacus' telescope. There was no movement on the streets and everything was quiet. Robyn decided to look at the Mayor's house to see what the Mayor and Bessie were having for dinner. She instantly regretted her decision when she saw something going on inside she really shouldn't have seen. She instantly went back inside the airship and threw herself face down on her bed. Sportacus was puzzled by Robyn's actions and wondered what she'd seen. He was tempted to ask her what was wrong but could tell that she was horrendously embarrassed and thought it best to leave it until later. It was only when he heard muffled laughter coming from Robyn that he changed his mind.

"What's so funny?" He asked trying not to sound too curious.

Robyn lifted her head from her pillow and then moved into a sitting position facing Sportacus, "How can I say this without making it sound bad?" Robyn began and after a slight pause came up with an idea, "let's just say that Bessie and the Mayor were enjoying a banana together."

Sportacus gave Robyn a strange look and after a few seconds realised what Robyn was trying to say, he opened his eyes wide in surprise and suppressed a chuckle. He knew how Robyn had felt when she'd seen them 'enjoying a banana' as he'd also had the misfortune to look that way once or twice and purely by accident. He'd always found it hard to look either of them in the face the day after without laughing and it always confused them as to why.

"I know one thing for sure," Robyn said suddenly.

"What?" Sportacus asked in response.

"I've seen enough bananas for one day and I'm going to go to bed now unless you need anything."

Sportacus chuckled at what Robyn had said about bananas and looked at Robyn bashfully before he made one last request of her while she was still awake.

"I know." Robyn jumped in before Sportacus could say anything, "hopefully this time we can do it without my hand slipping into unknown territory."

Sportacus slid himself to the edge of the bed as before and they repeated their actions of the previous time Sportacus needed the bathroom but with less nerves and no accidents. After Robyn helped Sportacus back into bed she was about to go to her own when Sportacus, who was still sitting up, grabbed her uninjured arm loosely and pulled her close to him and hugged her.

"Thank you." He said simply and kissed her on the forehead before letting her go to bed.

Two days later Sportacus was back to full health and was up and running around as usual. He was very grateful to Robyn for all she'd done and was proud that she'd handled things so well considering the circumstances. He was still slightly surprised how quickly the virus had left his system but put it down to his being a hero and much more immune to such things than Robyn was.

As a token of his gratitude for her services Sportacus showed Robyn how to run off of the door and onto the sky chaser properly as he'd promised. He was glad to see that Robyn was a quick study and picked it up very quickly, the only thing she had a problem with was landing. She'd proven this when she'd flown into a tree but had escaped without injury.

The day after Sportacus had recovered Bessie finally got round to asking Robyn why she'd reacted the way she did to being asked how things were going with Sportacus.

Robyn blushed slightly and looked at Sportacus who was standing behind her. Looking back at Bessie Robyn smiled and said with a slight chuckle, "We just had a small accident with a banana, nothing to worry about."

Bessie was left completely clueless when Sportacus burst out laughing and was quickly followed by Robyn. She guessed that it had to be some kind of private joke they'd shared while Sportacus was ill.
