Chapter 4
Stephanie awoke to another beautiful day in LazyTown, as was to be expected. She smiled and quickly hurried off to the shower. About twenty minutes later, the fourteen year old hopped down the hall for a quick breakfast.
"Morning Uncle Milford!" She said cheerily.
"Good Morning Stephanie. Do you want some pancakes?" He asked.
"No thanks. I've had my eye on those muffins Bessie made yesterday. Plus I think there still is some of that blueberry cereal." She smiled and pulled the milk out of the fridge. The two ate breakfast and chitchatted until the phone rang.
"Hello." Milford picked it up. Stephanie listened and knew immediately who was on the phone. She put her dishes into the sink and cleaned up her spot on the little kitchen island.
"I'll be right over." Finally the Mayor hung up.
"Going over to Bessie's?" She asked.
"First to the office, then to Bessie's." He smiled.
"Well I'm going to go find the kids and go play. See you later." Stephanie said as she skipped out the front door.
Trixie, Pixel, Stingy, and Ziggy were playing soccer when the pink haired girl found them. She smiled, as this was her favorite game.
"Hey guys!" She shouted.
"Hi Pinky! Are you going to join us or stand there?" Trixie called over. Stephanie rolled her eyes and joined in.
"Hey wait. Now the teams aren't fair." Ziggy said.
"Oh I think we can manage." A familiar voice came from behind him.
"Sportacus!" They all shouted.
"Come on lets play!" He said.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Robbie smirked as he looked at the Weather Infuser 6000. He had finally gotten the track finished and the contraption outside the lair.
"Now lets make it cloudy." Robbie said to himself. He pushed the button marked 'cloudy' and the machine whirred to life. Within seconds, what appeared to be dark wispy smoke poured out of the exhaust pipe. They rose into the air growing larger and thicker as they gained altitude. Finally, they were high enough to start to blot out the sun and create multitude of shade.
"Ooohhh well why don't we up the ante." Robbie smirked and he pressed another button marked 'rain'. A little port opened in the top of the Infuser and it shot something into the air. Whatever that was it hit the clouds and it immediately began to drizzle. Robbie grabbed his raincoat from the edge of the tube and put it on. The drizzle soon became full blown rain.
Over at the soccer field, the kids quickly broke up and ran for the cover of their houses. Sportacus flipped off and headed for the airship. Something seemed odd about how quickly the clouds and rain had showed up but he just shrugged it off.
Robbie smirked and poked another button on the Infuser marked 'sleet'. Another projectile was launched from the machine and it hit the clouds. Within a few seconds the temperature dropped about forty degrees and the rain became like icicles falling from the sky.
Sportacus could now hear the rain pelting his airship and he didn't like the sound of it. Rain was one thing but sleet in the middle of July? The above average hero had had enough; it was time to check things out. Grabbing his rain gear out of the wall storage he called for the ladder. Sportacus started to climb down the ladder but the rungs were getting slippery and it was becoming hard to hold on. About half way down the steps, his foot didn't find a good hold and he fell off the ladder.
