Chapter 1: It's not right
"I don't think it turns that way" Sportacus said, watching Mayor Milford trying to assemble a bookshelf for Bessie. He had offered to help, but as usual, the Mayor had refused. Now, the bookshelf was starting to resemble something out of a modern art catalog.
"Oh, I think you're right Sportacus," Milford replied. He stood back to look at his work so far, and his face fell slightly, this really wasn't working out.
"Well, I guess I could use some of your help, but just a little bit" He said, looking defeated. Sportacus laughed and, grabbing a screwdriver, set to work making to shelf actually symmetrical. Not far away, a pair of binoculars peered out from a clump of bushes.
"That Sportakook! Always doing helpful things..." Robbie Rotten exclaimed from his hiding spot, putting down the binoculars and ruffling the leaves slightly, "I mean, it wouldn't be so bad, but he's always making so much noise! I can never get some peace and quiet around here anymore with him always moving about, encouraging those kids to play sports and-UWAH!" Robbie cut off the ending of his speech with a little scream. He had peered outside the bushes again only to see a pair of blue clad legs right infront of him.
"Robbie?" Sportacus asked, puzzled, "What are you doing in there?"
"Eh-um, Nothing!" Robbie said, a little too brightly. He tried to stand up, but tripped over a root and fell out of the bush. Sportacus quickly put out his arms and caught Robbie just before he hit the ground.
"Are you alright?" Sportacus asked, pulling Robbie up into a standing position.
"Yes, yes, I'm fine" Robbie replied, crossing his arms and trying to act cool, as though it hadn't happened.
"Okay, if you say so Robbie." Sportacus said with a smirk, then he brushed a leaf off of Robbie's shoulder. Robbie tried to swat away his hand, but he was too late and only hit himself.
"Well, I really must be going now" He said, and with that he turned on his heel and strode away, leaving Sportacus staring after him. In his rush to leave, Robbie didn't realize he was going in the opposite direction of his underground lair. He grumbled, this would mean he had to take the long way. As he started walking back home, he began thinking about how he got in this mess in the first place...He had been on a nice mid-day stroll when he happened upon Sportacus and the Mayor. Not wanting to be seen, he had jumped into the bushes. He sighed, he knew he was being stupid. The real reason he had jumped into the bushes is because he didn't want Sportacus to see him. Lately, he had been trying to avoid him...ever since he had that dream...Robbie shook his head, he didn't want to think about it. But the more he tried not to think of it, the clearer it swam into his mind...
Robbie was walking along a secluded path, trees lining either side of it. He smiled as the sun shone through the trees and as the birds quietly sang their songs. Even though he didn't like exercise, Robbie had always enjoyed leisurely walks like this. Suddenly, the trees stopped and the path led into a wide field of flowers. Their sweet scent over came Robbie and he sat down, drinking in the beauty. He lay down and closed his eyes, feeling that this was the perfect place. Suddenly the bright sun was blocked over his face and it became dark. He opened his eyes to see what had happened and was shocked to see the muscular figure of Sportacus leaning over him.
"Sporta-" He began, but Sportacus knelt down and placed a finger on Robbie's lips. He had a mischievous smile upon his lips, and Robbie noticed that he wasn't wearing his hat and his blond waves glistened in the sun. He blinked up at Sportacus and was startled when he noticed that their faces were coming closer together.
"Robbie..." Sportacus whispered, then he leaned forward and kissed Robbie full on the lips. Robbie returned the kiss, and soon both men were lying in the flowers, hands roaming and breaths short. Sportacus reluctantly raised his head and said-
Robbie snapped back into reality, blushing furiously. He was angry with himself that he had let his mind wander back to that unfortunate dream. What was wrong with him? Ever Since Sportacus had first moved to Lazy Town, Robbie hadn't liked him. He was noisy, troublesome, good-looking...Robbie smacked himself on the forehead, NO! He couldn't think like this! It wasn't right.
Finally, Robbie reached the big billboard that hid the entrance to his house. He climbed down the porthole and instinctively wandered over to his big fuzzy orange chair. What was he going to do with himself? Suddenly, an idea started to formulate in his head...maybe if that Sportadork wasn't around anymore, this feeling would go away? And he would be able to live his normal life again! Robbie excitedly ran over to his work table and began scribbling away a plan. This time, he wouldn't fail. This time, Sportacus would be gone for good.
