As Sportacus, Elena, Loquia and the newest member of their family, Lucky, we're all headed to the next store to get the remainder of school supplies for Loquia. Elena was holding Lucky and Loquia's hand and Sportacus held the shopping bags. There was a lot of foot traffic. Loquia would often look at Lucky making sure he was happy and giving him pets and kisses. Elena and Sportacus would often look at Loquia being protective and how sweet it was.

There were a lot of shops they passed and Loquia would point out some stores to Lucky. "Ooh, look Lucky! Look at that pretty statue." She pointed at a gold statue of a woman looking up and reaching her hand to the sky. She was dressed in a long skirt button up top, puffy shoulders and a small hat upon her head. "Mama, what's she doing?"

"It's a depiction of one of the women responsible for getting the women into the workforce before they were allowed to vote. This was many years ago. And she's looking up and reaching up showing that you can reach for anything if you try. The sky is the limit."

"That's as very true. You can achieve any goal if you work hard for it." Sportacus added.

"Cool." Loquia said. "What's a workforce?" Elena chuckled and as she explained what a workforce was. They had arrived at the last store. Loquia reached up and took Lucky and hugged and kissed him.

They started to go in when Sportacus noticed a sign that read 'no animals except for service animals, which prompted another question that Sportacus explained. Loquia volunteered to stay outside with Lucky.

Sportacus chuckled and set the bags down, flipped his arm and opened, pressed a button, then reached for Lucky. "I'll hold him and wait for the drones. We will both be here waiting for you when you finish." He reassured Loquia.

"Can I wait out here with you, daddy?"

"No." Elena answered. "Sweetie, I need you with me. We have your supplies at one end of the store and shoes at the other. So, I need your feet." She gave a gentle tickle at Loquia's tummy. They went in and went to the shoes first then to the other end for the rest of her supplies. To distract her from wanting to go outside she made it into a scavenger hunt. Loquia found most of the items on the list. Loquia saw there was a pet section in the corner so, as Elena got folders and markers and added it to the basket, she went over and picked out some things Lucky might like.

Elena, putting the rest of the items in the basket, looked up and saw Sportacus out the window and smiled. Then her smile fell. Her brows narrowed. Standing next to Sportacus was a very attractive woman, who was admiring the little dog in his arm.

Loquia came over excited. "Mama, mama! Look! I found a brush and a little house carrier for Lucky. Can we get it?" She asked unzipping the front of the carrier.

She looked up at her mother, who gave a distracted answer, and what Loquia saw next was just confusing. "Mama?" She looked as her mothers hair, it started to kink up into curls.

Elena watched and she saw the woman touch his arm and giggle then her eyes widened.

Loquia continued to watch as Elena's hair, now curled, and it started to change color. Loquia spoked amazed and confused. "Mama? Your hair. How are you doing that?"

"What? Yea sure." She set down the basket of supplies and what Loquia was holding, took her hand and went outside. She opened the door and stepped next to Sportacus. "Hello, my love. We came out to see how you and Lucky we're doing."

Sportacus turned to greet his wife and did a double take. "Elena!" He exclaimed looking at her hair red curly hair that replaced her long wavy blond hair.

Elena looked at him, surprised by his reaction as she removed the hand of the female stranger replacing it with her own. "Hello' I'm his wife, Elena, and this is our daughter. And you are?"

"Just an admirer of adorable pets." She smiled at Sportacus. "But, I must be going." Seeing the thin smile and firm look in a Elena's eyes, she decided it best that she leave. "I hope to see you again sometime." She smiled and continued on her way.

Elena looked at Sportacus who was still looking at her in disbelief. Was he really that surprised to see her there while this strange woman had her hands on her him? Loquia moved next to her father and she noticed they both had the same expression. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"What did you-? Your hair." Sportacus replied.

Confused, she picked up a lock of hair and she became just as surprised when it was red. She gasped and started to take several locks, examining them. Then she looked at her reflection in the window and her jaw dropped. She looked back at Sportacus and understood his disbelief.

"What happened?"

"Well," Loquia began, "I was looking at some pet stuff for Lucky and mama was looking at you out the window. And her hair turned red. So, can I get that stuff for lucky, mama?"

Elena lheard the words her daughter spoke and it dawned on her. She wasn't sure if she was more mad at the fact that the woman touched her husband or the fact that she became so angered by it that her hair turned red, making obvious that she was she was angry. She had never felt this emotion yet. She had been angry before but not like this. She couldn't put a name to it yet, but she could feel the blood rushing to her face. She needed to think.

"Sweetie, why don't you stay here with Lucky and daddy. I'll go pay for our stuff."

"And Lucky's stuff too?" She looked at her daughter with pleading eyes.

"And Lucky's stuff too." She giggled. She looked at Sportacus who just looked at her hair. It hadn't sunk in what happened yet. He was stuck on the fact that it had happened. She turned and grabbed the door handle when-

"Mama?"

"Yes, Lolo?"

"When you come back, is your hair gonna be blond again?"

Elena felt her cheeks redden again. "I-don't know." And she quickly went back in the store.

Sportacus grinned and handed Lucky to his daughter.

Stephanie and Trixie were discussing ideas on how to get some answers. Actually they were more nervous to summon a tooth fairy.

"What a sec. Why are we scared? I mean it's the tooth fairy after all." Stephanie nodded in agreement. "So, how do we do it?"

"Well, put the necklace on." Trixie followed her instructions. "Um...take it in your hands, close your eyes and concentrate on the tooth fairy you saw." Trixie closed her eyes and put the image of the tooth fairy she saw in her mind. She did this for several minutes and nothing happened.

"Oh, this is no good. Maybe she can only be out at night, but we can't wait till night."

Her and Stephanie both thought about what to do. "Did you feel anything, Trixie?"

"No, but..."

"But what?"

"I think I maybe too scared."

Stephanie admired her for being brave enough to admit that and she smiled. "I tell you what. You hold the necklace with one hand and I'll hold your other hand." Trixie nodded and took Stephanie's hand and closed her eyes. "Ok, now just relax and think of every detail of the tooth fairy."

Trixie, again followed her instructions. After several minutes there was a slight breeze. Trixie could feel the hair stand on end on the back of her neck. She squeezed Stephanie's hand. She kept thinking and and suddenly she felt lighter. She slowly opened her eyes and the wind picked up. There was a vortex of some kind opening up. It swirled of purple, pinks and blues. It changed to light blues lavenders and teals. The vortex grew bigger. Trixie's eyes widened and she gasped.

"Uh, Stephanie, I think it's working." She looked at Stephanie and was shocked at what she saw. Stephanie's hair flared out and a pink hue surrounded her. She exhaled Stephanie's name and looked at the vortex. "Oh, my god! Stephanie, can you hear me?" But Stephanie was in some kind of trance. Her eyes were sapphire and she just stared at the vortex. Trixie's necklace was glowing bright pink and swirled with blue and she panicked and yelled, "STOP! STOP! STOP!"

Stephanie stood up still holding Trixie's hand and extended her other to the vortex.

"This goes beyond my wildest dreams!" A raspy voice spoke. Trixie turned to see who the voice belonged to. It was an old woman in tattered robes. Her skin crawled with red glowing veins and was a pale red in color. Her eyes black with an oil textured look to them.

"Children, children stupid children. This is perfect!"

The old woman floated towards the portal and Trixie yelled. "Stop! I can't let you do this whatever this is!"

"Silly child. You can not stop me!"

"But I can!" A third voice was heard and it came from Stephanie only it wasn't her voice. She let go of Trixie's hand. "Did you really think that we wouldn't be prepared? We have had this plan set in motion for sometime. The disease you carry has warped your mind. Let me help you, Teeka."

"No! All you guardians will do is place me in a suspension and eliminate me! But I am going to exact my revenge for what you did to me."

"I tried to save you! I told you that going onto the canal would make you sick but you let your curiosity get the better of you!"

Trixie's eyes were wide with confusion. Did tooth fairies get diseases? She looked over at Stephanie and wondered if she was aware of what was happening to her or maybe she was a tooth fairy too. She did have pink hair. She continued to watch as the two moved closer together. She had a bad feeling about this. She just watched for the moment.

Stephanie, or whoever was in her body, started to approach Teeka, slowly as she tried to reason with her. "Please. I only want to help you. Take my hand and I can make you better."

"It's too late. I'm an infection now and I'm going spread." She got a devious look in her eye then grabbed Stephanie and a dark vapor emitted from her hands. Stephanie screamed and fell to the ground clutching her arms.

"Stephanie!" Trixie screamed and ran to her

Teeka ran into the vortex. The guardian, in Stephanie's body, got up and ran past Trixie and after Teeka then the portal close behind them.

"STEPHANIE!"

It was a very pleasant afternoon. All the shopping was done and Sportacus, Elena and Loquia had just left the gallery. Elena's pictures were astonishing. She had a flair for capturing emotion at the moment. A few of her landscape pictures sold. She was happy she could spread some joy to other people. They kept Lucky in the doggie house carrier they bought at the store.

Elena, getting many comments about how good her hair looked, commented that it was maybe temporary and tried to avoid that subject as much as she could. Sportacus, grinned every time it was mentioned and she gave him a quick glare. He tried to suppress a giggle. And told her how beautiful she was in any color hair. She gave in and let it go. As they were ready to head back home.

"Mama?"

"Yes, baby."

"I love you and daddy and Lucky."

"And we love you too, baby."

"Mama?"

"Yes, Lolo."

"Why did your hair change color?" She asked while petting Lucky inside the pouch.

Elena, once again, looked embarrassed. Sportacus looked at her with that same grin. She was hoping her hair would go back to normal, but Sportacus's grin led her to believe he knew why it changed.

"Was it because that woman was talking to daddy?"

Elena's eyes went wide. Apparently so did Loquia.

"Because daddy only loves you."

Maybe she sort of knew. "I know sweetie. How's Lucky?" She asked changing the subject.

"He's very excited to meet everyone in LazyTown. Especially Ziggy."

"Really? Why?" Sportacus asked.

"Because, Ziggy is my best friend. And we are all going to have a lot of fun together."

"I'm sure you will." Sportacus said.

"I know what you're thinking." She said quietly to her husband.

"What's that, my love?"

"That I was...jealous."

Sportacus was going to light heartedly tease her but decided against it...for the moment. "You know I only have eyes for you and no one else, ever."

"It wasn't you I didn't trust. It was her. And she kept touching you."

Sportacus grinned again. Apparently he found this amusing. Elena looked at him and rolled her eyes. "Ok you can stop enjoying yourself now. And your never allowed back here again."

Sportacus chuckled "I just think you are so cute when your jealous, and very sexy in that red hair." He whispered to her.

Elena blushed again picking up a strand of red hair then letting it go again with a sigh.

"Alright, let's go home." No sooner than she said that, Sportacus's crystal beeped.

"Someone's in trouble!" He gasped and his eyes went wide. "Oh no! We have to get back to LazyTown!"

They all picked up the pace and ran for the building.

"Call the flypod! We can take the airship back." Sportacus looked at her and she nodded.

"Flypod !" He called out. The flypod dropped down, Sportacus jumped up in it and sped off and was soon out of sight.

"Come on, baby. Let's go."

Sportacus could feel something bad. Something like when the shadow realm was opened. And he didn't like what happened then. And if it was opened again...

His crystal gave him another image and he saw Trixie and Stephanie. His eyes wide. "Oh no." He peddled faster hoping he could make it in time...
