Chapter 12

"I'm done talking to your husband and I'd like to borrow you for a few moments but the others can see him, one at a time." Doctor Fixit said to Stephanie.

"Ok. You guys can decide while I talk." She said. The others looked at each other unsure who should go first. Amanda had suggested that Joshua go first but the sixteen year old didn't want to. So Robbie said he'd go.

"Hey there Sportakook." He said using one of his old nicknames for the above average hero.

"You haven't called me that in a long time, Robbie." Sportacus smiled.

"Old habits die hard; unlike like you. I swear after they drop the atomic bomb all that will be standing will be you and the roaches." Robbie continued to joke.

"Thanks, I think." Sportacus smiled. "Hey let me ask you something."

"Sure. If you feel you can handle the answer." Robbie smirked.

"Anyways, you see Joshua and Samantha?" The above average hero titled his head toward the window in the room.

"Something wrong with your arms?" The ex-villain continued to tease. Sportacus ignored the comment and repeated the question.

"Yes, so what?" Robbie asked.

"Well I think your daughter has feelings for my son, that's what." Sportacus spit it out. A silence came over the two. Robbie looked out at Samantha and Joshua then he looked back at Sportacus. Again the ex-villain looked out at the kids and then to Sportacus. The thought about it for about thirty seconds and then said to each other,

"Nnnnah!" Then they laughed.

"Man that pain medication they have you on has flipped you through a loop." Robbie continued to laugh.

"Ow. Ow. It hurts to laugh." Sportacus smiled. The two continued to talk. Mostly about how LazyTown would be rebuilt and how long it would take for the above average hero to recover.

Joshua and Samantha heard their fathers laughing. They looked at each other and wondered what was going on in there.

"Well there goes your father breaking the doctor's orders already." Amanda said from behind them. She watched as the two of them jumped.

"Everything ok?" Stephanie asked coming over after finishing with the doctor.

"Peachy." Joshua smiled.

"Just fine." Samantha said. Both appeared to be on edge for some reason.

"Uh huh. Well Doctor Fixit says that your father can come home in a few days, provided there is one." Stephanie explained.

"You guys are always welcome at house in case there isn't one." Amanda smiled.

"Really? We don't want to put you guys out or anything." Stephanie said.

"It'll be fine. I can imagine that that is the last thing you guys want to think about with Sportacus needing help and all." Her friend reassured her.

"Thanks so much Amanda." The two hugged. Joshua stole a glance at Samantha. Her face had lit up just like it always did when she was happy. She had the cutest dimple and her eyes sparkled when she smiled.

"Joshua why don't you get my husband out of there so you can talk to your father?" Amanda asked. The sixteen year old looked up from where he had been staring. He flashed a quick smile and ran into the other room.

When Robbie came out, he suggested that he and Samantha went to get something to drink. With everyone else away, Amanda turned to Stephanie.

"Did you see…"

"What I saw?" Stephanie said finishing her friend's sentence. Both nodded to each other. Then they looked at Joshua and then back at each other.

"Uh huh." They both said.
