Elena headed back to LazyTown, worried about Robbie. She saw Ziggy riding his bike heading in her direction. "Hey Laney!"

"Hi Ziggy! How are you?"

"I'm good! I was wondering if I could play with Loquia yet?"

"I'll ask her, but she's not used to a lot of people yet. What would you like to do with her?"

"Well, I thought I could show her my bike, go for ice cream, play in Lazy Park, jump rope, games, ride the wagon-."

"Ok, ok," she laughed. "That sounds like fun. Let me see if I can arrange it."

"Ok I'll be around."

Elena hoped Loquia would come to play with the kids more. The only one she really played with was Stephanie. She got home and heard Sportacus being excited in the back yard. "Wow! That was really good!" She heard.

When she made it to the yard, Sportacus was playing tag with her. She was running after him and side stepped and tagged him. He turned to chase her. She had a smile a mile wide as he did so. He even faked a few attempts where he'd tumble and roll knocking his goggles over his nose or making his boot slip off chasing her, hopping, while he tried to put it back on. It was the first time they'd heard her laugh.

Elena smiled at her. She, for the time being, let go of the other world. It was still in the back of her mind but it was being overshadowed by the fun she was having. Elena walked closer. Once Sportacus caught her and she started chasing him.

"Go on! You can catch him!" She hollered.

"Hey! Who's side are you on?" He shouted back.

Loquia saw Elena and ran over to her. Elena scooped her up in her arms and gave her a hug and kiss. "I missed you." She said followed by another kiss. Then she whispered something in her ear, with a mischievous look in her eye that Sportacus looked suspicious of.

"Yeah?" Loquia nodded.

"What are you two up to?"

"Nothing." Elena said as she set Loquia back to the ground, squatting next to her. Sportacus went down with them.

"She's a very good tag player."

"Go!" Elena yelled and they both started ticking Sportacus. He was laughing moving his hands to fend off the attack. Elena was happy she had help. Sportacus always had the upper hand.

He mustered enough air to yell Elena's turn! And suddenly she was being attacked.

"No fair!" Was all she managed to get out. After a few minutes, Sportacus knew it was time to give Elena a break. They all lay on the grass catching their breath. It was worth it to see her smile.

"Loquia, Ziggy was asking if you would like to play with him. Would you like to?" She rolled on her side and looked at her. She could feel a little fear rising. "He can come over here if you'd like." She nodded.

"Well, it looks like you two had fun today."

"He showed me how to play tag and we had races around the yard and played. We went to his airship too!"

Elena looked at Sportacus. Loquia was very excited. "Sounds like you had more, fun than I did." She playfully tickled her belly.

They all sat up. "So, how was your day?" Sportacus finally asked.

"Well, let's just say a lot different than expected."

"Loquia, would you be up to having Ziggy over for the afternoon?"

"Are you going to be here?"

"Of course. Ziggy is a real nice boy."

"Ok."

"Great!"

Sportacus went and got Ziggy while Elena cleaned up Loquia from and grass and dirt off her hands. Later Ziggy came back with some board games and dress up clothes. While they were in the back yard! it gave Elena time to fill in Sportacus about Robbie.

"Hallucinating? Are you sure?"

"It explains why he kissed me. He was surprised it was me. And when I got there, he'd cooked a nice noodle dish for me for lunch."

"What's wrong with that?"

"He didn't know I was coming. He sat me down at the table and was talking to me as if I was there for a while, and when we were talking he asked how long I was there for? He also talked to me about a movie we watched the other night. And when I left, he was talking to me. The 'me' he was hallucinating."

"This is not good."

"No. I think he snapped, maybe because of what happened to me. When I was...dead." She glanced downward. "I told him I was going to marry you and he was very calm. Un-phased. I think you should talk to him."

"I think you're right. I hope I can get through to him."

"Me too."

"You know, none of us have ever talked about what happened to you. I think it's time we should."

Elena took a deep breath. "We should, but Robbie first. Before it's too late."

Ziggy and Loquia were in the back yard playing one of his favorite games, candy land. He did a lot of talking and she did a lot of listening.

"Can I show you how to ride a bike sometime? I'm really good at. I wasn't at first. Then I got better. Then I took my training wheels off and almost crashed but Sportacus saved me. But I know how to break now. I ride all over. It's fun. Can I teach you sometime?"

She shrugged. "Maybe."

"So, what do you like to do?"

She hesitated before she answered. "I like playing with Sportacus."

"Oh, me too! And he's the best hero in the world!"

"You've played with him?" It made her a little bit mad. He was hers.

"Yeah we all do. He's our friend."

She got up and ran back in the house, past Elena and Sportacus

"You take her, I'll take him." She said to Sportacus.

Elena ran out to Ziggy who sat there a little lost. "Ziggy?" She sat next to him. "What happened?"

"I don't know. We were playing and I told her we all like playing with Sportacus and she ran off. What did I do?"

"You didn't do anything. She is still...adjusting."

"Why would she get mad for us playing with Sportacus?"

There was only so much she could say. "I don't know. I know she really loves him. She might not like to share him. It's complicated. But she'll come around. And I'm sure you'll both be great friends."

"Should I go?"

"Let me check. Wait here a minute."

Sportacus ran after Loquia. She ran into her room. Sportacus entered and sat next to her. Her face was buried in her pillow. He gently rubbed her back. "Loquia, what happened?" She was quiet. "Please. I want to help you."

"You're going to-"

"What? I'm going to what?"

"I'm not-"

He picked her up to face him. She looked down. He gently lifted her chin and looked at her.

"You'll leave me and stop liking me."

"Where did you ever get an idea like that? I would never leave you. I love you."

"But you play with the other kids."

She was clearly more attached they realized. He tilted his head. "I do but it doesn't mean I love you any less or that I'm going to leave you or stop liking you. I will always love you." Elena came to her room.

"Really?"

"Really. And if maybe one day we can all play together. I'm sure you'll have fun with them too."

She hugged Sportacus tight.

"Loquia, Ziggy's still outside and he still wants to play with you. Would you still like to play with him."

"Can I?"

"Of course." Sportacus set her down and she went back outside. They both followed and watched out the window. Ziggy was very happy to see her again.

He turned Elena to face him, smiling. He pulled her in and kissed her.

"What was that for?" She asked as he kissed her again, and again, longer.

"Just because."

She smiled. "Mm, I like 'just because.' I hate to change the mood but you have another difficult task."

"Robbie."

"Someone's in trouble." Elena commented on Robbie's plight.

Sportacus set off to Robbie's lair.
