Lucky You

Robbie and Sportacus were celebrating their one year anniversary. Sportacus had booked a day at Lazytown Funland. He had promised that he would eat whatever Robbie wanted him to eat.

"Here's the menu," Robbie said, handing the Funland menu to Sportacus from across a colorful table, "I circled what I want you to order."

Sportacus scanned the menu seeing that Robbie had circled a simple double cheeseburger and fries, water, so that he didn't have a sugar meltdown, and, oh no. Robbie had circled a no-sugar, no-fat banana split, with nuts sprinkled all over the ice cream.

"Oh," Robbie said, "And you can't change any of your order. It's the rules here. I didn't make them, trust me." Great. Sportacus promised that he would eat whatever Robbie wanted. And he's allergic to nuts.

The waitress came by and took their orders. At Funland, you don't wait for dessert. So, Sportacus ordered his double cheeseburger, fries, water, and nutty banana split.

The food arrived and the two enjoyed their entrees. Then came dessert. Robbie had ordered a big slice of chocolate moose cake. And Sportacus would have to eat the nuts and ice cream. He was fine with the ice cream. It was the nuts that bothered him.

Robbie grabbed a big fork and took a big, chocolaty bite, some how not getting any on his face or clothes.

Sportacus picked up his spoon and stared at the dish. He finally scooped a small bit of the ice cream and tried his best not to get any nuts. He put the spoon in his mouth. "Mmm," Sportacus said, swallowing the small portion of ice cream. He went for another scoop, a bit bigger this time. He had gotten a few nits on the top but he picked them out when Robbie wasn't looking.

He went for yet another small spoonful, picked out the nuts, and stuck it in his mouth. Then he scooped another slightly bigger spoonful, with only two nuts on the top, picked them out, and ate it. Suddenly Sportacus' eyes went wide. His face started to turn red as he spat out a nut he must have not seen.

Robbie immediately stood up. He had no clue what was going on. "Sportacus!" He cried, worried.

Sportacus, cheeks swelled and he began to cough. Luckily he kept an epipen in his pocket at all times. He struggled to get it but still managed. He jabbed himself with it and began to turn his normal skin tone once again. Robbie was relieved.

"What happened?" He cried.

"I'm allergic to peanuts." Sportacus said, his voice scratchy from all that coughing.

"Why didn't you say something," Robbie said, referring to the dessert, "I would've let you order something else."

"I promised I'd order what you chose." Sportacus said, smiling a bit.

Robbie began to tear up. Nobody had ever been this loyal to him and he was happy that would always have Sportacus by his side. He felt like the luckiest man in LazyTown that day.
