Chapter 11
The girl got real close to him and grabbed his face. Robbie didn't pull away as she kissed him. Soon the two were back at what they had been doing at Stephanie's.
"How's that for an answer?" Amanda said when they parted a few minutes later.
"Feels like more." Robbie smiled and pulled her back to him. They kissed again but suddenly Robbie started to laugh and they separated.
"What's so funny?" Amanda asked.
"How are we going to tell people you swallowed my ring?" Robbie said continuing to laugh.
"Around the same time I tell them you had to dig for it!" Amanda joked.
"I have to dig for it! No way!" Robbie smirked.
"You expect me your future wife to do it?" Amanda asked sarcastically.
"It's your poop!" Robbie argued.
"Yes but I'm not the one who stuck the ring into my food." Amanda teased.
"Maybe you should look at what you're eating before shoveling it in." Robbie pointed out. The two were soon laughing too hard to say anything. Finally, they decided it was best not to bring it up at all unless they definitely had to.
A few hours had passed and Stephanie lay on her back awake in bed. She wondered why something as simple as forgetting an anniversary had caused such a rift between Uncle Milford and Bessie.
"I told you not to worry about it until the morning." Her husband said grabbing her left side and rolling her onto her right side.
"How do you do that?" Stephanie asked.
"It's not hard. I can tell just by your facial expressions." Sportacus said.
"But your eyes are closed." Stephanie reminded him.
"Then it's probably a special talent I have. One which I think our son as picked up as well." The above-average hero told her. "Now let's get some sleep." He pulled her close and kissed her forehead, her cheek, and then her lips.
"Good night." Sportacus whispered. Stephanie was about to ask what he had meant by their son picking up that kind of thing but he put his finger to her lips. Holding each other close the two soon went back to sleep.
Mayor Meanswell was not sleeping however. The pullout sofa wasn't uncomfortable it was just that he was alone. At least before he had still been sleeping in the same bed as Bessie but now he was completely alone.
Sportacus hadn't been spending time with his family because of him. That wasn't right. Quickly, Milford decided it would be best to fix this himself. Getting out of bed, the Mayor took off his pajamas and put on some real clothes. Then he put everything back in his suitcase and quietly left the apartment.
Once outside the Mayor went down to the LazyTown Inn. He checked in and went to his room. However the inn was only a pit stop. Quickly, he showered, dressed, and wrote a note.
Milford went down to the desk and asked the concierge to mail it. The man said he would and wondered what else he could do for the Mayor. He found it odd that Mayor Meanswell wanted to check out already but didn't question it. The inn worker had seen stranger things. With that, Milford left the inn and headed out into the night.
