We at the Lazytown Chronicle searched far and wide, high and low for the Author. We found her in Mongolia of all places, playing checkers with Billy Crystal. And while he was whisked away to host the Oscars, we brought the Author back to Lazytown to write the continuing romance of Tara Trueheart to Sportacus 10! So without further ado, lets go go go to Lazytown!

High above in his airship, the world's healthiest hero was going through his wardrobe.

"Closet doors!" he commanded. The closet opened showing about twenty identical blue outfits. He jumped, flipped, somersaulted and landed before the open closet. He scratched his head and said,

"Hmm...what should I wear?"

Suddenly an alarm went off and he back flipped and caught a small cylinder.

"I got mail!" he exclaimed. He opened the cylinder and read the short note,

'Can't wait for our date tomorrow, Sport. Love, Tara'

He blushed with a smile seeing the red SWAK.

Welcome to Lazytown

It's the start of a brand new day!

You'll meet Robbie with his rotten plan,

And Sportacus saving the day!

Stephanie was new in town,

And soon she and Ziggy were friends!

With Stingy, Pixel,Trixie and Tara too,

They're going to have a blast together!

Go go go! Get up Lazytown!

It's the start of a brand new day!

Things are upside down here in Lazytown,

Adventure's just a moment away...

'Take a Hike!'

"No...no...no..." Tara said shifting through her closet and tossing things out into the arms of the ten year old pink clad girl. Struggling to hold all the clothes, Stephanie suggested,

"Tara...I'm sure whatever you wear Sportacus will like!"

"Oh Steph...first thing you need to learn about boys. It's one thing to get them to like you. But I want Sportacus to love what I'm wearing. I want to make an impression so he'll never forget a moment about our first date. You see boys are visual creatures. If something is pretty or shiny they'll fawn all over it. Why do you think boys love cars so much?" Tara explained.

"I guess Trixie and I have a lot to learn about boys." Stephanie giggled.

"Say...where is trixie?" Tara asked looking around.

"I don't know. Trixie?" Stephanie called out. Suddenly a pile of clothes began to wiggle on the bed and Trixie popped out and gasped for air,

"I can breath again!"

"Trixie!" giggled Stephanie.

"Sorry Trixie. Guess I have more clothes than I thought." Tara said helping the girl climb out of her clothes.

"That's okay. I found those red hiking boots you were looking for." Trixie said handing them to her.

"Great. Thanks Trixie." Tara said.

"Your welcome. But I still don't see whats so romantic about a hike up to Lazy Heights Ridge." Trixie said.

"It was something Sportacus wanted to do. Besides I'm packing a picnic full of sports candy so we'll have a great chance to talk over lunch. And then we can watch the sunset together and then we can star gaze." Tara said.

"That does sound romantic." sighed Stephanie.

"Ha! Yeah but good luck trying to get Sportacus to sit still for that long. One of the things about being the worlds healthiest superhero is he's always moving." Trixie said sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Oh I think I can show him that even sitting still, he can make a move." Tara replied with a slight grin.

"How?" Stephanie asked confused.

"I'll tell you when you're older." Tara winked making the girls giggle.

Meanwhile watching the girls help Tara get ready for her date through Tara s open window, Robbie Rotten growled through his periscope,

"Ooh! I can't believe Tara Trueheart is still going out with Sportajerk! It seems like years since he asked her out not a week!"

Robbie put away his periscope with a shrug,

"Oh well. Maybe I can come up with a rotten plan with Sportaloser distracted by his date."

Then he gasped with realization.

"Unless! Unless I tag along on their date and ruin it and make Tara dump Sportacus so badly that he'll be heartbroken and leave Lazytown forever! HAHAHA! I'm a genius!"

Then he paused in thought stroking his chin,

"But how to do it?"

Then a light bulb went over his head.

"I know! My old Sportacus disguise!" he cried running over to his box labeled,

'Discarded Disguises.'

"Tara hasn't seen me dress up as Sportajoker. So occasionally I'll step in and make her think Sportacus is the biggest jerk in the world!" he said pulling out the old disguise. Then he continued,

"Plus a whole bunch of delightful little goodies to make this the worst date in history! No matter what Peggy Peterson told the tenth grade class in high school! HA HA HA HA!"
