Detective Miller shook his head when he noticed Robyn had stopped walking, "I know you're upset about your garden and I'm very sorry for you and your loss. We have to get you back home though, pneumonia is the last thing you want to come down with. You're already shivering and you're soaked through. Come on, let's get you home quicker."

Pulling out his cell phone Detective Miller placed a well timed call to the police. Within two minutes the search effort found Robyn and whisked her into a car after putting a blanket round her. The car drove off and Robyn watched as Detective Miller disappeared. He'd saved her life twice.

The drive to Lazytown took less than five minutes. Coming closer to the town on the road the car was taking, Robyn had a clear view of her decimated garden. All of her flower beds had been burnt to a crisp and the ground was blackened. Firemen picked their way idly through whatever wreckage was left and their progress was lit by harsh floodlights. Tears worked their way into Robyn's eyes and spilled out to flow down her cheeks. Her beautiful garden was reduced to nothing more than a blackened hollow shell. Eleven years worth of work had been destroyed in less than half an hour.

Kit waited anxiously for Robyn's return home. He wasn't the only one. Sportacus, Robbie and Doctor Cole were also counting the minutes until the car was due to pull up outside. It had been an extremely long day and all were tired. Even though it was nearly three in the morning they still needed to get some sleep.

With the search called off due to Robyn being found with the help of another anonymous tip off the entire search effort came back to the town. The Mayor and Bessie had set up a small rest centre in the town hall where cups of cocoa were handed out. No one had been able to sleep since the news of what was going on broke out and as they couldn't help with the search they found other things to do. Stephanie and Pixel had made sandwiches for the rescue teams while Ziggy and Trixie handed out blankets and towels for the soaking wet police officers. Stingy went in between jobs and helped where he was needed.

When the car pulled up outside of the house Robyn was moved inside quickly out of the rain so she could be got out of her wet things. Doctor Cole followed her up the stairs so he could examine her to make sure she was alright. The three police officers that had been in the car with Robyn remained downstairs with Kit, Sportacus and Robbie. If the doctor deemed that Robyn was well enough to be questioned they'd do so, if she wasn't fit enough to be questioned they made it clear that they'd return the next day.

Ten minutes after he'd gone up the stairs to examine Robyn, Doctor Cole came down again. "I'm sorry officers. You'll have to come back another day. She's not in much of a condition to go through an interview or to make a statement right now. You're time would be better spent trying to find Cain."

A little annoyed but not surprised with their being asked to come back the three police officers departed. All of the search teams were called back into their groups and set back to work trying to find Cain.

Doctor Cole watched his three companions with slight amusement. They all loved Robyn equally and he'd seen them trying to work out who'd go and see Robyn first. It hadn't occurred to them that there was no restriction in their own home as to how many saw her at once. There was no further room for deliberation when Robyn beat them to it and came down the stairs.

All four men tried to protest but their protests stopped when Robyn walked out of the house. They all looked at each other confusedly but that faded too when they each guessed where Robyn was headed. With Kit being the best equipped to deal with any emotional episode Robyn could be prone to have he took an umbrella from the cupboard and went after her.

"Princess! Wait for me!" Kit called jogging with his umbrella up to Robyn.

Robyn stopped walking and turned around. "You don't have to come."

"I do. I am and I will. Get yourself under here. We can't have you getting wet again."

"My hair's still wet anyway but you're right. When we get home can you help me dry it?" Robyn's voice was incredibly even despite the depth of the emotions whirling around inside her.

Kit nodded, "yeah sure. Speaking of sure, are you sure you want to do this?"

"I have to. I'll not sleep until I know the full extent of the damage."

"If it helps. We won't stay long though, ok?"

Robyn nodded.

In another two minutes the two were standing the garden and Robyn was looking around. This close up the damage was much clearer. It looked as if nothing could be salvaged or even repaired. The garden could most certainly not be replaced. The sentimental value was much too great for that. Many happy memories entered Robyn's mind as she surveyed the blackened wreck lit by the flood lights. It had been the place that Kit had asked to her to marry him in. The place where she'd honed her skills and quieted the storminess of her soul in the hardest of her trials.

Kit and Robyn were about to head home when something caught Robyn's eye. She led Kit over to the spot and crouched down. Brushing her hand against the burnt soil of one of her flower beds a green shoot became visible. As Robyn brushed more of the dirt and soot away more of the shoot could be seen. She stared in awe at this little shoot that had survived the fire.

Kit was amazed too and tears of happiness rose to his eyes. "A phoenix rises from the ashes."

Robyn looked up at Kit, happy tears in her eyes as well. "It's not all gone. It's not all destroyed. We have to come back tomorrow to see what we can fix."

"We will princess. Come one, let's go home. We'll sort your hair out and then we'll go to bed, eh?"

Robyn nodded and she and Kit bounded home. The rain hadn't relented at all and even under the protection of an umbrella they were still getting damp.

The front door opened and admitted a happier pair than the pair who had left before. Doctor Cole had gone home and Robbie and Sportacus were standing by with towels. When Kit shook off the umbrella and put it back in the cupboard he was accosted by Sportacus who dried his hair while Robbie dried Robyn's. Surprisingly both of the young lovers laughed under the ministrations they were receiving from the towels and their bearers.

Kit's hair didn't take very long to dry as it wasn't very wet to begin with. Robyn's took a little longer because of its length and thickness. Robbie took great pride in his actions and realised that this was the first time he'd dried Robyn's hair in fifteen years. It seemed that old habits died hard and he hadn't forgotten what to do.

Once Robyn's hair was sufficiently dry Robbie sat her down on the floor in front of his chair and brushed it out for her. Carefully he avoided the gauze which covered the cut on Robyn's head made by Cain bashing it against the wall in the bathroom. He also noticed that Robyn's cheek was red and was beginning to bruise. It struck him that Cain had hit her and anger boiled within him. He wouldn't get away with what he'd done.

While her hair was being brushed Robyn fell sound asleep. It had been another long and emotionally tiring day and she couldn't stay awake any longer. Kit noticed that Robyn was sleeping and told Robbie. Sportacus noticed too and offered to help Kit get Robyn upstairs into bed. Kit declined the offer and managed to lift Robyn up from the floor without stirring her. Saying goodnight to Sportacus and Robbie he carried Robyn upstairs and put her to bed before climbing in beside her.

Robyn stirred slightly when she realised she wasn't in the living room anymore. Realising she was in bed she cuddled up to Kit who put his arms around her before they both fell back asleep.
