The Worst is Yet to Come

Chapter 1

It had been almost a year since Hăkon's death. Stephanie had finished two semesters at LazyTown Community College and things had been going rather smoothly. In fact, maybe things had been going too smoothly. Nothing bad had happened and for some reason this made Sportacus jumpy. There was always something bad going on. Stephanie had seemed to accept that things were quiet. She liked being able to spend time with her husband and hi not having to always save someone. How little they suspected that their world would soon fall apart.

The boss was getting upset with Eysteinn Hallbjörn (Hăkon's replacement). He hadn't done what was asked of him.

"Sportacus should've been dead months ago. What are you waiting for?" The boss asked.

"I'm waiting because there is a good chance I will get to kill both Sportacus and his father. That would forever end the chain of heroes." Eysteinn told him.

"Is that what you've been doing?" The boss demanded.

"I can kill both when Number Nine arrives in LazyTown in two weeks. Besides things were too hot to get close to either one of them after brother Hăkon's mistakes." Eysteinn explained.

"So you are confident you can kill both of them." The boss said.

"Indeed, I am. I'm the best sniper within one hundred miles. I can kill both of them easily. Just allow me some more time. I promise you won't be disappointed." Eysteinn assured him.

"All right then. I'll give you some more time. If your ingenious plan works, then we will all be out of a job. What about that?" the boss asked.

"There are always more heroes to kill somewhere else. Besides if my plan does work. The police will be combing the area for their killers and we will have escaped to our next target by then." Eysteinn said.

"I like your thinking. Go then and may Odin give us the victory we so desperately search for." The boss said dismissing Eysteinn.

Amanda pulled in front of Mayor Meanswell's house with her 1993 silver Ford Ranger. She and Stephanie were going on a road trip to pick up the last of Stephanie's things from her parent's house. Not all of her stuff would fit in the airship. In fact, Sportacus and Stephanie had been discussing getting an apartment or buying a home.

Stephanie ran up to her friend's truck. Amanda had gotten out and was checking something.

"Hey its so good to see you. What are you looking for?" Stephanie asked.

"I was just making sure that I had the rope to tie my cover up with. When are your parents expecting us?" Amanda asked.

"Not for a few more days. That will give you some time to rest before we go" Stephanie said.

"Sounds good. Besides I must make a stop before we go. Do I still get to shack up with Uncle Milford and Bessie?" Amanda asked.

"Yup. We expect Þórir in a couple of weeks. So he'll be at Uncle Milford's too." Stephanie explained.

"All right then. I'm going to unpack. I'll see you in a little bit." Amanda said. Stephanie nodded and left her friend to take care of her things.

A little while later, Amanda went to look for someone. She found him lying on a park bench taking a nap. Carefully she tapped him on the shoulder.

"Wake up sleepyhead." She whispered.

"Just five more minutes." He mumbled. Amanda giggled and asked,

"Is that any way to treat me?" It was then he opened his eyes.

"Amanda?"

"Yup its me." The girl responded. The man sat up and grabbed her. They kissed. It had been awhile since they had seen each other.

"Robbie Rotten, I knew there was definitely something I missed about you." Amanda smiled as they separated.

"Mm, I could say the same to you." Robbie responded.
