The morning after-

It was about ten o'clock and Sportacus woke up first. He watched Elena asleep and smiling. He moved her a strand of hair from her face. He could not think of any feeling better than the one he was feeling right now. Total euphoria. She held him tight. "Mmm."-

He leaned down and kissed her. "Good morning."

"I love you."

"I love you, too." He smiled. "How did you sleep?"

"Wonderfully. Better than I have, ever. I feel so lifted and relieved. I think I can take on the world."

He laughed. "I know what you mean. I've never felt so much love for anyone as I do you." He kissed her. "Though, I think it's time we should get up."

"No."

"No?"

"No."

"Well, maybe just me then." He moved to get up and she pulled him back down. "Woha. What are you doing?" He chuckled.

She put his hand on her breast.

He raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to get me to seduce you?"

"Yes please." Her eyes lit up.

He shook his head grinning from ear to ear. "Well, since you asked nicely. But we should get up after-" he was interrupted by her lips.

After another romantic round of passion they both took a shower together where there were new options for pleasure discovered.

When they were dressed and finishing a hearty meal, Elena was oddly quiet. She was rubbing a small part of her chest.

"Are you alright?"

"Just a little sting, it feels like. Maybe I ate something wrong." She dismissed and smiled.

"I have to perform some maintenance on the air ship today." He walked behind her placing his strong arms around her. "But when I'm finished, we can have a romantic dinner and maybe some desert."

"But you'll have a sugar- ohh."

"Ohh." He repeated smiling, then kissed her lips. She put her arms around him and as he stood up, she stood up with him, keeping her lips on his. He smiled and headed to the door, still kissing her. "Elena-my-love." He got in between kisses.

"Don't go."

He stepped back and took her hands, kissing them both. "Ég ætla að sakna þín líka, ástin mín." He watched her eyes get wide as it seemed to excite her. He giggled. "It means I'm going to miss you too, my love. I'll see you in a little bit." He kissed her and headed to his air ship.

She watched as he bounced and did handsprings to the middle of Lazy Town. She walked outside and and spread her arms out and danced around in circles.

At Pixles house-

"Pixel, can I play a video game, huh?"

"No Ziggy. I have to go buy some new parts for the computer. It's been acting glitchy."

"But, but, but, I really wanna play. Please?" He raised his eyebrows with a pleading tone.

"Ok." He gave in.

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"

"But you have to promise to only play the video game. Got it?"

"I got it!"

Pixel set Ziggy up and opened his door. "Remember, just the game."

Ziggy started playing the video game that was in the system. After ten minutes he found himself stuck. "Oh, this is boring. I'll just get another game." He riffed through a few but he'd already played the ones Pixel left out. He gasped. "Where's my lollypop?" He looked around and saw it by the computer. He walked over and picked it up.

"Ah, my lolly. Huh?" When he picked it up he moved the mouse, turning the monitor back on and saw the Woodland Warriors game, paused. "Hm...well, this is a video game. Now how to work this."


Bessie was strolling by, talking on her phone an glanced at Elena spinning around. She had a smile on her face humming a sweet tune. She had to see what it was that was making her so happy. "Oh Elena, my dear!"

She twirled over to Bessie. "Good afternoon, Bessie. Isn't it a beautiful day?"

"Why, yes, it is. Why are you-wait just a minute. You look...radiant today." Bessie's eyes opened. Could it be? "Um, so, how is Sportacus today?"

"Wonderful!" She spun.

"Wonderful?"

"Wonderful."

"Ah!" She screamed. "Wonderful! And in must say, it's about time. I think a party might be in store!" And she hurried off giddy as a school girl.

Elena was confused. "Party?" She shrugged. She danced to the sports field and danced and twirled in the open space.

"What are you talking about Trixie?"

"I mean a saw Sportacus go back to his air ship and well, he might has well have been flying. He looked in a real good mood." She turned her head and caught sight of a twirling Elf. "Good like that." She pointed. They watched, shocked and confused as yesterday she was down in the dumps and now she was exuberant. "I guess he cheered her up."

"Laney!" Stephanie called.

She sauntered over and hopped on the wall next to them. "Yes."

"So...I guess you're feeling better since yesterday?"

"Better than I have in my life. Which hasn't been very long, I know, but things make sense now."

"Like what?" Trixie inquired.

"Like," she got up and spun around. I love-" she stopped as she spun right into the path of Robbie. As she looked in his eyes, everything became clear. "Pickles!"

"Pickles?" Everyone repeated.

Robbie looked at her and awkwardly twitched his nose. He then noticed the kids, grunted something and continued on his way.

She sat down and buried her head in her hands.

"Boy," Trixie piped up. "This one can turn on a dime."

"Uh, I have to go." She left leaving the girls confused.

She had a new problem. Now things were coming together in her head, she realized, Robbie liked her. How could she tell him she was in love with Sportacus? She headed in the direction of the shops. She was pondering ways to break the news to Robbie.

Pixel, on his way to get some new pieces for his computer, spotted Elena. "Hey Laney! Wait up!" She just stood there. He caught up to her just as she started looking for something. He watched her for a moment. She'd look under something and move somewhere else and pick up nothing and look.

"Um, what are you looking for?" He said slowly. This was strange behavior indeed.

She moved further away going near the school. He followed her. "Laney. Are you ok?"

The girls decided to go over to Trixie's for a snack when Trixie noticed Pixel who was following Elena.

"Hey Pinky. Remember when Sportacus asked us if Laney was doing anything strange, to get him?"

"Yeah."

Trixie pointed. "That's strange, right?"

"I'll get Sportacus."

Sportacus was starting on the training performance when-

"I've got mail." He read it and immediately turned his airship back to LazyTown.

Pixel and Trixie were following her. "What's she doing?" Trixie asked.

"Looking for something, I guess."

She stopped suddenly and took a stance. Her arm reached over across to her hip and made a movement like she was brandishing a sword looking very serious at something. But there was nothing there.

"Huh?"

The airship came into town and Sportacus jumped down. He saw Elena and knew what was happening. "She's sleepwalking again."

"But that's impossible. She was talking to me and Stephanie about ten minutes ago."

"What?" Sportacus was startled when Elena jumped, flipped and swung the sword she thought she was carrying.

"Guys, stand-" Sportacus got in front of the kids as she was swinging erratically all over the place then after a crashing blow upon the mailbox. She bent over, moving as if she picked something up and placed it around her neck.

Pixel took a deep breath. "The amulet of Kazaroo! I'd step back if I were you." They took a step back as a light encompassed around her feet and moved upwards. As it did she changed into battle armor fitted to her figure.

"Pixel?" Sportacus waited for an explanation.

"The amulet of Kazaroo gives her the battle armor to fight the battle orcs to free her people." He said in awe.

"Pixel, are you talking about the game?"

"Uh huh. I never thought I'd find it." His eyes fixed on the lovely elf.

She sheathed the sword and took out a staff and moved it around in a very skilled manner then took a ready stance.

"Wait a minute. Have you been playing the game?"

"Well, yeah."

"Did you play the night before? And three nights before that?

"Yeah... No!" As he realized.

"Yes. She must be still linked with the game somehow. And when you play, you are controlling her."

"But I thought the game was broken." Stephanie eyeing Pixel.

"I fixed it. Or so I thought."

Elena jumped high in the air and on the roof tops of buildings.

"Wait! If you're not playing-" Sportacus watched as she started to leap.

"ZIGGY!"

"You go! Shut down the game!" I'm going after her."

Pixel sprinted back to his house with the girls.

Sportacus followed Elena as she hopped from rooftop to rooftop, landing on the ground, running for the school grounds. She stopped, replaced her staff and took the sword back out. She began swinging it wildly.

"Elena!" She couldn't hear him. Her eyes were white. She was not herself. She flipped around and jumped, and managed to knock Sportacus down. She flipped up to the roof of the school fighting the enemy that wasn't there.

Sportacus flipped himself back to his feet and shaking his head. Then he ran as fast as he could and scaled the building to the roof, via the drain pipe and a couple of windows.

A couple of times it looked like she was hit and fell backed wards. Then she spun around and caught Sportacus off guard. She was swinging the sword him, aware he was now the enemy. "Pixel! Hurry up!" He skillfully avoided getting run though. Then she rolled on the ground, got back to her feet, kicked Sportacus down half off the roof and held the sword to his neck.

He stood very still. Eyes wide, on the sword. He had to find some way out of this or it would be the end of him.
