Chapter 13
The morning sun shone wonderful and bright. Birds chirped and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. But Rose wasn't paying attention to that. She was too busy setting a trap.
The rope hung from the branch of the big maple tree near the sports field. Rose climbed up into the tree using the rope and pulled it up with her. Quickly she stuffed it up in the mess of leaves and branches further up. She would wait for the opportune moment and catch Stephanie's attention by saying she was stuck. Once that was done, she would "fall" out of the tree and lay still on the ground. Robbie would throw the kill switch and for a few minutes, Rose would appear dead. Stephanie would witness Sportacus fail. Hopefully, this would turn the girl into a mess. With his failure, Sportacus would leave LazyTown. There was only one part of the plan that didn't seem right, hitting her kill switch.
That part really bothered Rose. She would lose everything that was currently stored in her memory banks and her chips would be fried. Sure on the outside, she would still be Rose but Robbie would have to install new chips and no longer would she be the robot she was now. Quickly, those thoughts were shaken from her head as she saw Stephanie coming closer.
"Stephanie!" Rose called out. The pink haired girl looked around and didn't see anyone.
"Up here in the tree! I'm stuck." Rose called again. Stephanie now ran toward the tree and saw the new girl stuck up on a branch.
"I'm coming up! Hang on!" Stephanie grabbed the lowest branch and worked her way up into the tree. Rose knew that this was deviating from the plan and she had to act quickly. An idea came to her.
Stephanie watched as her new friend began to slip from the branch she was stuck on. Things unfolded as if in slow motion. Rose fell toward her and a collision seemed inevitable. Suddenly, something blue appeared out of the corner of her eyes. Her last thought was, Oh no, the plan failed.
Sportacus grabbed the "girl" with one hand. She seemed heavier than she should've been and her head hit one of the branches. The above average hero landed on the ground, set the robot down, and quickly moved under the tree.
"Hang on, Stephanie!" He jumped onto one of the branches and reached for her. The above average hero could see the fear in her eyes. She didn't need this, never mind right now. His hand found her waist and he said,
"Let go, I have you." Sportacus said. Stephanie did as she was told and the above average hero pulled her close. She could feel the blood rush to her cheeks at their proximity. Sportacus could see her cheeks turn red and he jumped back down to the ground. Immediately, he let go of her to see how Rose was.
WWWWWWWWWWWWW
Robbie saw the whole thing through his periscope and quickly hit the kill switch. Rose's circuits and chips were immediately fried. He watched as Sportacus was unable to find a pulse. This was it the above average hero's moment of failure was here. Or at least that's what he thought until he saw Sportacus pick Rose up and race toward the doctor's office.
"Oh no." Were the only words that escaped Robbie's lips.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Stephanie followed Sportacus to the doctor's office. Both hoped the girl would be all right. Little did they know they were in for the shock of their lives.
