Epilogue

It was few weeks later and Stephanie sat on a park bench watching the sunset. School would start soon. Everyone would go on about their lives as usual but no longer would she wake up to smell her mother making breakfast downstairs. No longer would she get to eat her mother's wonderful pancakes or smother them in strawberry syrup. No longer would she be able to walk to the bus stop with her friend, April. When she got home from school, her dad and mom wouldn't be there to give her a hug and tell her how much they loved her. They wouldn't be able to enjoy eating dinner together or having them help her with her homework. Something reminded her that she would never have to listen to them argue or how much it hurt to hear them shout. She wouldn't have to lie in bed and cry because of the hurtful things she could hear her parents saying to each other.

It had been hard for her friends here in LazyTown to understand that she wouldn't be going back home. They hadn't been told everything; just that she would live here now. Uncle Milford had decided to not put Stephanie through having to explain what really had happened. Things hadn't changed much here but now they would never be the same. Stephanie's future had been altered and all the deep thoughts in her head swam around trying to pull themselves together. Then the nine year old heard the airship.

That warm feeling inside her returned and her cheeks turned red. She watched as the airship parked itself over LazyTown. Lately, all she could think about was the blue suited above average hero and every time he was near she had this strange feeling. He had shared a deep dark secret with her and the two would always have that.

Stephanie was so focused on her thoughts that she didn't see the ladder descend from the airship. Sportacus climbed down a little ways before jumping off the rungs.

"Hi Stephanie." He said. Surprised, Stephanie jumped out of her seat.

"Hi Sportacus." She answered.

"I think it's time for someone to go to bed." He smiled as the sun sank behind the last house and the sky darkened. Stephanie smiled.

"Probably, I guess I just lost track of the time."

"I'll walk you home." Sportacus offered. Stephanie nodded and the two began to walk toward Uncle Milford's. The nine year old had this sudden urge to grab the above average hero's hand but before she could make a move Sportacus reached for hers. Hand-in-hand they walked and Stephanie realized that no matter what Sportacus would always be there for her and always be her friend.

The End

Well that's the end of my first of the new series. I hope you liked it. I'm not sure if I'll start another one right away because college starts August 28th. I promise to keep it up though if you guys want me too. I appreciate all the reviews and all the compliments.
