Chapter Four: N Apostrophe T

I don't own Lazy Town or the song 'N Apostrophe T' by Tom Lehrer.

YouTube that and be amazed by it. I thought it was a good song for the fandom.

There were posters for it all over town

"Talent Show: Friday Night at 7"

The school was sponsoring it, so only kids were allowed to enter. Some of the kids knew what they were going to do. Stingy was going to do a magic act with Ziggy as his assistance. Pixel was going to show off a robot he made, one that could take cups and stack them into a tower in record time. Stephanie and Trixie wanted to do something together, but they weren't sure what.

"We could do a song and dance."

"Yeah, but to what song Pinkie? We need something new."

"Well, let's look online. Maybe there's a song that we can use there." Stephanie got on the computer and they started looking, smiles growing on their faces when they found the perfect one.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"We need to keep it a secret from Sportacus and Robbie." Trixie pointed out a Stephanie and she frowned before snapping her fingers.

"I know, I'll tell Sportacus that I want to add flips into my dance. You can tell Robbie that you need a costume and he'll help with that. It won't take long to learn the words and dance, we have enough time."

"Well let's get started then."

Stephanie was right. Sportacus was more than happy to spend time helping her learn how to safely do a front flip and couldn't wait to see her dance routine. Trixie had good luck with Robbie. She had laid it on thick, saying she needed to have a costume for the show and if she made it herself it would look horrible and she wanted it to look similar to his outfit.

The villain had...mixed emotions about helping her. On one hand she had gotten to his narcissism, knowing that his costume skills were the best in town. On the other hand something like, compassion, welled up inside of him when she wanted to be like him. No one ever wanted to be like him.

It was the night of the show and Robbie was leaning against the back wall, trying not to be seen by the rest of the town. He almost let out a shriek when a strong hand landed on his shoulder.

"Hello Robbie, are you here to see the kids?" Sportacus was trying to whisper but it was still loud and the villain raised an eyebrow at him.

"I'm here to see Tricky. She needed my help with something and I want to see what my hard work turned into."

The hero smiled and patted his shoulder before leaning against the wall with him, rocking back and forth. "It's good to see you here. I wonder what her act is, Stephanie wouldn't tell me what Trixie was doing."

"Oh, that doesn't sound like the pink-haired brat. She's keeping secrets from her hero?"

"Trixie wanted it to be a surprise, Stephanie didn't want to say."

"And now our next act, Stephanie and Trixie."

"Or they could have been playing both of us and now we get to see why." Robbie's voice was flat before he heard the music start and gave a chuckle, "I want to change my statement. They are playing both of us and now we get to see why."

"What do you mean…" Sportacus didn't get to finish his question as he saw Trixie walked from one end of the stage, dressed in something similar to Robbie's outfit but in her red and orange color scheme. Stephanie flipped onto the stage in her superhero costume before they both started singing.

"Isn't it a lovely day?" Stephanie smiled up at Trixie as she went first, almost leaning in too close to her face. Trixie turned away from her, crossing her arms and almost pouting.

"No, it isn't."

Stephanie flipped so they were facing , "Could you come outside and play?"

"No, I can't."

"What are they doing?" Sportacus leaned over to Robbie, who was silently laughing to himself.

"Just listen to the rest of the song Sportadork."

As the song went on the hero figured out why Robbie was laughing. It was like watching the two of them when he had first come to town; asking Robbie to be part of something and him saying no to everything thrown his way. In the end he did join in; still with tricks but still part of their little community.

On the stage Trixie joined Stephanie for the final part, both of them singing loudly at the end and taking a bow before walking off the stage.

They couldn't go and see then right away, they had been the first act and there were still plenty more to watch.

In the end it was Stingy and Ziggy who had won with their magic show and while they had their picture taken for the paper Stephanie and Trixie ran up to the hero and villain in the back.

"Did you like it?" Robbie almost spat in disgust at Stephanie's words but Sportacus picked her up spun her around.

"You both were wonderful, well all of you were wonderful but we liked your act the best."

"We?" The girls looked over at Robbie as he rolled his eyes at them all.

"I guess it was the best. But only because we helped you with it." Trixie's eyes' lit up at Robbie comment and she grabbed him in a hug around his middle. Sportacus still hadn't put Stephanie down and suddenly there was a camera flash.

"Sorry, I couldn't resist. You all looked so happy." Mayor Meanswell was lowering a camera from his face and Sportacus put Stephanie down so she could go and give her uncle a hug.

"Can we all get a copy of the picture later Uncle?"

"Of course dear. If that's alright with them."

Robbie rolled his eyes but didn't say no while Sportacus got a huge smile on his face. "That sounds great! Thank you Mayor."

"Oh it's no problem. The children were so happy to have your help with their act. Speaking of the children I offered to host a party for our group once this was done. Will we see you both there?" Sportacus was quick to agree to show up but Robbie sputtered before reluctantly agreeing.

Trixie's pouting face wasn't the reason he caved, no siree it wasn't. It didn't stop him from scowling, a blush rising on his face as Sportacus teased him about Trixie being his favorite of the kids.

Robbie would never admit the kids were growing on him, least of all the girl that reminded him so much of his own childhood.

Author's Note: So I was working in my classroom and this song popped up on my Pandora channel and I stopped what I was doing so I could laugh my ass off. The first idea for this was Sportacus and Robbie performing this, but it worked better to have Stephanie and Trixie going the act.
