Chapter 14
The next morning, LazyTown awoke to a morning like any other July morning. It was warm and sun was shining. In fact it was the sun that woke Stephanie up.
She sat up and looked around. How did I get in my room? The nine year old asked herself. A knock on her door caused her focus her attention to who was there.
"Come in." She called.
"Good morning Stephanie. How are you feeling?" Her Uncle Milford asked.
"Better but it seems I'm still a little warm." Stephanie smiled as he came over and gave her a hug.
"Well that's because it's already eighty degrees out and it's only nine am." Milford explained. His niece gave him a confused look.
"Sportacus and Pixel fixed the machine that you found and did something Pixel called 'reversing the polarity'. I'm not really sure what that means." He said.
"He was able to reverse the machine's function so it cleared the clouds instead of making them. I see. How did they avoid a flood?" Stephanie wondered.
"That you'll have to ask Sportacus when you see him. Why don't you go take a shower and I'll go make breakfast?" Uncle Milford suggested.
"Sounds good." She smiled and climbed out of bed as her uncle went off down the hall. About twenty minutes later, the fourteen year old walked into the kitchen and sat down at the counter.
"So what are we having?" Stephanie asked.
"How about pancakes?" Uncle Milford smiled.
"Sounds good to me." A familiar accented voice said. At this Stephanie turned around and saw the above average hero standing in the open doorway.
"What did I tell you about leaving the door open?" Sportacus smirked as Stephanie ran up to him and gave him a hug.
"Easy. My ribs are still a little sore." He said as she pulled back.
"Oh sorry." The fourteen year old apologized quickly.
"Well Sportacus, I'd like to thank you for bringing Stephanie home yesterday." Milford spoke up.
"It was my pleasure. I'm just glad she's feeling better." The above average hero smiled as he sat down next to Stephanie.
"So how'd you and Pixel stop LazyTown from flooding?" She asked.
"One little cloud at a time, believe it or not. Something about slowly allowing the heat back into the air. You wouldn't even know we had had three feet of snow by walking around today. This monstrous heat has even made the puddles evaporate." Sportacus explained.
"How many pancakes do you want?" Milford asked as he turned around.
"Two please." Stephanie smiled and grabbed the strawberry syrup along with the butter.
"None for me thanks. I was just kidding earlier." The above average hero said.
"Are you sure? Uncle Milford makes the best pancakes." Stephanie told him.
"I'm sure but thanks for offering." Sportacus smiled. The three sat and enjoyed each other's company until breakfast was over. A knock at the door interrupted their conversation.
"I'll get it." Stephanie offered and she quickly hopped off her stool and headed for the door. When she opened it, she found her best friend, Trixie, standing there.
"Hey Pinky. We're going swimming down at the town pool, you coming?"
"Let me get my suit." Stephanie smiled and raced off down the hall.
