Stephanie got up and was halfway through practicing her dancing when she stopped. She knew something wasn't right. The atmosphere in her room had changed. She heard a whirring sound coming from inside her wardrobe but couldn't think what it could be. Stepping to the side of the wardrobe she put her hand on the doorknob and braced herself. She wrenched open the door and out jumped…

"Robbie's robodog?" she exclaimed to herself. Something was different about it; it seemed different to how she had seen it on her birthday. The Robodog's eyes were red. "That can't be good," she thought and jumped on top of her bed. But wait, she had dealt with Robodog before, there was nothing she needed to worry about, all she needed to do was…

Stephanie bent down on top of her bed as Robodog tried to jump up and bite her, she flipped the switch to shut it off, but nothing happened, the dog swung round and bared it's teeth ready to attack again. "OK, that's slightly problematic," she said. "Just think about how I defeated it last time."

Meanwhile, Sportacus woke up, his crystal was flashing, "What the…" he said bemused, then realising, "Someone's in trouble," he leapt out of be not feeling tired anymore. "Who can be in trouble at this time of night?" his thoughts immediately turned to Stephanie. He raced to the front of his ship looking around urgently, he looked down into Stephanie's room, he saw the curtains open but was alarmed to see Stephanie standing on her bed kicking at something below her. Sportacus raced to the platform and lowered it leaping off just as it had lowered, he raced to Stephanie's still open window, but just as he was a bout to leap through he noticed something moving in one of the bushes out of the corner of his eye. He turned and looked, not too surprised to see Robbie attempting to hide himself in one of the smaller bushes.

"I should have guessed," said Sportacus loudly, he bent forwards and pulled Robbie out of the bush, he fell out noisily. "You stay there." He noticed a large remote control by his feet and knelt down and picked it up. He then turned and leapt through Stephanie's window, "Stephanie are you OK?"

"As well as I could be in this situation Sportacus," she said rushed," I can't switch it off."

"I think this might help," he put the remote on the floor and smashed it with his foot; Robodog fell to the ground, silent. Stephanie rushed towards him and kissed him.

"Thankyou, my Hero." She whispered. Sportacus smiled.

"I'm just glad you're alright." He said softly and kissed her backed. A retching sound came from outside. It was Robbie pretending to be sick.

Sportacus suddenly angry, jumped through the window and grabbed him roughly, he had never felt such anger course through him, "why did you do that? You've never aimed any of your plans at anyone but me."

"What do you think Sportastup," retorted Robbie angrily, "if I got rid of Pinky here, "Stephanie had climbed out of the window and followed Sportacus, she looked upset, "then maybe I might have a chance."

"How low can you sink," said Sportacus quietly, he had let go of Robbie disgusted and taken Stephanie in him arms." I love Stephanie, "he said simply, "and I will always love her no matter what happens to her, there's no-one else I want, but, even after all these things you've done to us even after all these things you've done to us over the years I am still willing to extend you the hand of friendship." He held out his hand.

Robbie considered him for a moment, "No," he said, "I can't accept it, after all these years I've tried to get rid of you, and still you offer to be my friend, I can't… I don't deserve it." He turned and walked a few steps. The turned back," you two deserve each other, I hope you two are happy the rest of your lives." He left.

Stephanie and Sportacus looked at each other.

Sportacus broke the silence, "well, what should we do?"

"Should we go after him?"

"No, give him some time, I'll go down there tomorrow,"

"OK, can I come too?"

"I don't see why not," There was a pause.

"Sportacus, did you really mean that? That I am your only and you will always love me?" Stephanie burst out.

"Yes, I did," Sportacus said simply, "I don't want to be with anyone else, ever." Stephanie kissed him.

"Thankyou," she whispered.

"For what?"

"For saving me, for loving me."
