Chapter 9
Trixie and Stingy were about to leave, as it was Pixel and Ziggy's turn to stay with Bessie when Sportacus, Stephanie, Joshua and Samantha walked up. One look at the bunch told them that something wasn't right.
"What happened? Why are you limping Sportacus?" Ziggy asked.
"Why are Samantha's hands all bandaged up?" Pixel wondered.
"What happened to your face?" Trixie asked pointing to Stephanie.
"Whoa, whoa. We had a little accident on the way back to LazyTown. Thanks to Joshua and Sam, we're all right." The above average hero explained. He then went on to tell everyone the whole story. No one seemed to notice the fact that Joshua held Samantha close. They wanted to hold hands but since hers were bandaged up and the stitches had hurt, that it wasn't such a good idea. Trixie hugged Stephanie.
"I'm glad you're ok. How are you going to tell Amanda and Robbie?" She asked.
"Well we haven't quite worked that out yet. We came up here to see Bessie and ask if you guys could give us a lift home." Stephanie said.
"Bessie hasn't left your uncle's side. We've just been sitting here in case she needs us." Trixie told her.
"I think we'd better leave the whole accident thing until later. I don't want them to worry about us. We'll all be fine." Stephanie said.
"Good idea. We've already said our goodbyes so we can just go home." Her friend explained.
"All right." Stephanie smiled and she grabbed her husband. Joshua and Samantha followed behind his parents and the other couple as they walked out to their friend's car. He stared into her hazel eyes while she stared right back into his bright Icelandic baby blues.
They weren't paying attention as they walked and soon the two's feet became entangled. Joshua's crystal went off as the two tumbled to the ground. Quickly, the new hero moved so that he hit the floor instead of Samantha. She landed on top of him letting out a giggle. Joshua smiled and laughed too. They didn't realize that his parents and their friends had turned around to see what the commotion was.
"What are you two doing?" Stephanie asked. Immediately, Samantha tried to get off of Joshua but it was hard not to use her hands. Carefully, the twenty year old helped her roll over and then stand up. Both of their cheeks turned beet red. Stephanie smiled and gave Sportacus a wink. He smiled back and the bunch hopped onto the elevator.
WWWWWWWWW
Somewhere far above the hospital a man stood looking down. The white clouds around him gave way to a large towering structure. Its walls are made of spears and the roof is made from shields and benches covered with breastplates. The man looked at him through his left eye. The right eye was gone but the Norseman had considered it a small thing to give up in order to obtain the wisdom of the ages.
"Valhalla bíða fyrir þú, stríðsmaður bardagamaður. ÉG munu viðurværi the dyraþrep opinn fyrir þinn koma. $" Odin turned from the edge of the cloud and walked, using his large staff, back toward the large hall. One of the five hundred and forty doors opened allowing the Norse God of war to enter.
$ Valhalla waits for you, brave warriors. I shall keep the doors open for your arrival.
