Milanrus had his ship on auto pilot. He was low on supplies and needed to replenish them. He had been flying for a very long time. He could feel that there was something more out there but couldn't find it. He'd been all over the world looking for his place, but nothing ever seemed to resonate. He decided to stretch his legs and exercise for a while. After about an hour he had lunch, looked out his window and hopped back in the pilot seat and watched the view hoping to catch sight of anything to steer him on his path. He knew it would be hard but not impossible.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes and reflected on what he had accomplished thus far. It was a rush for him. The excitement of the saves and the happiness and gratitude from the people. Then he started to think about a place that needed help. His help. Someplace he could really make a difference. Someplace where he is destined to be.

Roberta drove the car and they all looked at a sign that read 'Welcome to LazyTown.' There was one thing wrong from the picture Robbie had in the brochure. The actual sign was broken on its side with spray paint over it. There were tumbleweeds, garbage, scattered and unkempt plants and trees. Robbie looked worried.

"Mom?"

She cleared her throat. "Don't worry dears, change is good. You'll see. We will make the best of this. Everything will be alright." She tried to smile with confidence.

"This looks messier than my room." Rikki commented.

"Now, now, children. It's what's on the inside that counts. I'm sure these people are very nice." She tried to sound cheery. "There is our house at the end of the street!"

She got to their new house. It had a broken porch swing and some broken windows. The screen door half off its hinges. It wasn't what Roberta hoped for but it was all they could afford. She pulled into the driveway and shut off the car. That all sat there for a moment and just looked until Roberta broke the silence making the kids jump.

"Well, no better time than the present. Let's get out stuff and see our new home. I'm sure it's...better on the inside."

"I hope." Robbie said under his breath but loud enough to be heard.

They opened the front door and stepped in. It looked like someone threw a party and forgot to clean up. "Well...we're going to clean this house and make it our own. This will make it extra special. Let's go pick your rooms." Her voice was less enthused. Everyone is on spring break so we have a week before you go to your new school. You'll make new friends and we'll have proper play dates."

Robbie took his mothers hand. "It'll be great." He gave a weak smile.

The house was in a real state. It took at least a week to clean just so they could have proper bedrooms and a kitchen. Robbie helped his mother as best he could while helping keep an eye on his sister. She came skipping in from outside and just skipped around the house.

"Ya know, there are no kids anywhere. No one is playing out side."

"I'll play with you in a few minutes sis. I just have to finish helping mom." He turned and she was sitting down. "Are you ok, mom?"

"Yes, dear. Thank you. I just need a rest. You two go out and play. I'll make lunch in a little bit."

"Come on, let's go out back." Robbie suggested.

"I fixed the swing set." He pointed upwards proudly.

"Yay!" And they ran outside.

Roberta got up and walked to the back door and watched her children. She didn't want this life for them. She wanted them to have everything. At least when they were old enough they would have money to start a life. No. She was not going to let this get her down. They will persevere. She closed her eyes as a bout of pain went through her head and she got some aspirin from her purse. After the pain went away she went back to work. It was starting to feel a bit more like home.

It was the first day of school and the first time Robbie and Rikki had seen any other children. Rikki was in an all day pre-k class and Robbie was in his fourth grade class. It was very different in this school. They had bullies bothering kids from time to time and older kids ran rampant through the streets when school was out. The kids never played outside unless it was in their own yard. They were too afraid of what might happen. There was a gang in LazyTown that made things difficult. Robbie looked outside at the playground that was in a shambles. He never really liked playgrounds but he knew his sister loved them. He knew they had to make the best of it but he knew one thing for sure. This town was in a lot of trouble.

Roberta went into town for food and supplies for the house and she bumped into one of the parents. "Oh hello. My name is Roberta Rotten. I'm new in town."

She looked at Roberta for a moment then introduced herself. "I'm Elisa Greeden. You bought the old house at the end of the block."

"Yes, yes I did. I have a few questions and you're the first person that has spoken to me."

"Well, it takes time when a stranger comes to town, which isn't very often. We don't know who we can trust."

"Oh. Well, what's going on in this town? Why is it like this? Why don't the children play outside?"

"Well, I don't know why you actually chose this place but we have bullies and thieves that come here a lot and cause trouble. Probably because it's a small town. They ran the mayor out of town and the local police...well, there is only one or two left. They got ran out of town with the mayor. They made a curfew for the town to keep everyone safe. I think they only came back was because they're board. But they do cause trouble. I have to get home and head to school to pick up my son. It was nice to meet you and I hope you have a lovely stay." And she hurried off.

Roberta took a heavy sigh, got her supplies and headed home. When she got home the phone started ringing.

"Hello? Yes, this is Roberta Rotten. Oh, Dr Rosenthal, how are you? Have you got my test results back yet? No, I afraid I can't. You see, we've moved and it's just impossible to get away. Can you tell me over the phone? I mean they're just little headaches, right? Surly some aspirin-...oh. I see..." She listened and her cheery smile disappeared. Her eyes got misty. "I see. No, I understand. I said I understand. Thank you doctor." She hung up the phone and started unpacking the food and went to work on dinner and a special cake. She kept doing things to keep busy until her children got home. Then they were going to have a nice family meal.

It was about a week into school. Robbie was waiting for his sister and she was late so he went looking for her. When he got to the kindergarten area he heard voices. Voices he didn't like.

"Aw look at the little squirt. She's new in town so we have to take your dolly away."

"Yeah," an older one joined in. "We keep all dollys, draw on their faces and cut their hair and make them look like witches!"

"Give me my dolly back!" Rikki yelled with tears in her eyes.

"Aw the little sissy is gonna cry. Well, boo hoo." And they laughed. That's when the doll was snatched from their hands.

Robbie gave the doll back to Rikki and told her to run. He turned to face the older bullies. "You leave her alone!"

They looked at each other. "Kid, you're in a lot of trouble." Robbie took off with the bullies in chase but he was slick and managed to hide then double back. He caught up with his sister and they got home fast. She ran in the house and he stopped and looked at his new home. "Welcome to LazyTown." And he went inside.

Milanrus awoke from his sleep as his crystal started to beep. He shot up like a dart. "Someone's in trouble. A lot of someone's." He got up and loved out his window and smiled. "My destiny, at last." And he headed towards a little place called LazyTown.
