Disclaimer: I own nothing of Magnus Scheiving or Lazytown

A/N: Sequel time! WHAT WHAT! Ok, basically, time passes, Steph learns a few things, lalala, Sport/Steph Rob/Steph like the last fic, but this time she figures out who she wants. Heck, I don't even know who she wants. JUST KIDDING! Slightly OOC (just warning you)

MY GOD! I reached 923 hits as I finished the story! HOLY Sh on wheat bread! I love you fans of mine! Thanks to all my reviewers of my first Lazytown fic. I'm so happy I have your support. Some of you may have though a few characters were ooc (out od character) but I kinda had to do that to write where I wanted to. Either way, thank you all!

Ragazza Bella meant beautfiul girl in Italian. Stephanie found this out the hard way.. She had been called ragazza bella by many teenage boys whom which she passed time after time in Italy. She didn't know what it meant until her new friend Carolena told her so one Winter's eve. Carolena was a brunette with rosy lips and and angelic face. She was skinny, and a little taller than Stephanie. Despite the different appearances, they were two of a kind.

"I cannot wait to get to America," Carolena's thick Italian accent sounded anxious, "We shall see the Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Rocky Mountains!"

Stephanie laughed as they boarded an airplane, "Try a hot dog stand, a park bench, and a mailbox. We are going to Lazytown, which has no real monuments or grand, fantastic sights. The only fantastic sight you'll see is the clean air. No polution at all. Of course, it has been two years. I don't know if it changed.."

True, Stephanie had lived in Italy for two years. Two glorious, fun-filled years of finding a job, new friends, and some Italian pizza. When she met Carolena, she knew they would be best friends from the start. They were twenty-year-olds, hip and fun, yearning to find careers. They had, fortunately, found a path to life worth living on. Stephanie and Carolena, painters at large. Art was their new passion, their new love. However, Carolena desperately wanted to see America, any part of it, and Stephanie wanted so badly to go back home.

The plane was comfortable, so both girls were all set to have a nice nap before they landed. It was around eight p.m when their flight started, and it would be morning when it finished. Laying her head against a white pillow, Stephanie began to remember what had happened before she left Lazytown. Her fight with Sportacus...Her kissing and holding Robbie.. Her wish to figure out which one of them she loved. For her two years in Italy, she had'nt found one man worth a date. She held crushes on a few guys, but neither one of them were Sportacus or Robbie. She was still stuck on her hero and her villain after all this time.

If you do end up with Sportacus, that's fine... The words spoken by a true gentleman..Spoken by Robbie Rotten. Stephanie fell asleep hearing this statement in her head. If Robbie was so generous as to give her to Sportacus, then obviously he was worth liking. Yet, Sportacus took a chance and straight out told Steph he loved her. Confusion entered Steph's dreams, leaving her restless in the night.

Ziggy, now eighteen, Opened his own candy shop, Sweet Treats, and owns it with Bessie. Stingy who turned nineteen has a job in banking. The only problem with this job is he never wants to give out the money. At twenty years of age, Trixie tought Physical Education in a school a town over frmo Lazytown. She still lives at home, though. Lastly, out of the children, is Pixel. He turned twenty-one, and works on everything electrical.

Frustratingly thinking of a new plan to make everyone lazy, Robbie sat in his fuzzy orange chair scratching his head. Life had sort of returned to normal when he set Sportacus and Stephanie free two years ago. Ever since then, he's been conjuring up a way to win Stephanie's heart..Even though she wasn't home yet. Plans never went the same since the youngest kids grew smarter and wiser. Robbie considered giving up completely, but that wouldn't be very fun. There was no one in Lazytown to keep company, and nothing relaxing to do.

In an airship above Lazytown, Sportacus counted his one-hundredth push up. He stood, walked to his refrigerator, and took out a water. Life for him was normal as always. Saving people from everday things...Except for when a gang member asked Trixie to drink once.. Sportacus threatened to beat up the gang member if he didn't leave Trixie alone. This was the only abnormal problem Sportacus had to save anyone from.

Climbing down the ladder, Sportacus knew the day was bound to be full of athleticism and games. Trixie, Pixel, Stingy, and Ziggy had said that today would be a day to play soccer. Everyone was excited to get together again, for their time lately was quite full with work and such. The goals were all set up for soccer. Ziggy was goalie for Team 1, Trixie was goalie for Team 2. Pixel was on Team 1 and Stingy was on Team 2. Sportacus pledged to play on both teams. If there were more players, it would be perfect, but Bessie and Mayor Meanswell were getting too old to keep overly active.

Beginning the game, Sportacus kicked the ball in the air, watching it land on Team 2's side. Stingy started to kick it towards the goal, but Sportacus and Trixie blocked him.

"That's unfair!" Stingy stopped in mid-kick, "Sportacus we can't play like this anymore. Ever since Stephanie left, our team's been uneven...It's just stupid now."

Sportacus knew the gang was at first sad that Steph left, but now they were becoming very irritated and agitated.

"Look," He started, taking the soccer ball in his hand, "It's not fair, I know. You can't be mad at her though..She chose to leave, which is her decision, so you have to support her. Stingy, maybe we can play something else. How about freeze tag?"

"Yeah!" Trixie yelled, apparently excited.

The stone path leading into Lazytown seemed so familiar to Stephanie. Her stomach twisted and churned a bit, anxious towards seeing her old friends. Not only was she feeling nervous, but also a bit sick. She wouldn't know how Sportacus would react to her coming home, for she didn't leave on a good note.

Stephanie, don't leave like this. This was the last statement Steph heard from Sportacus before she left.. How horrible was she to just blow off her hero like that? On the other hand, Sportacus had been somewhat of a jerk to her.

There they were...Carolena pointed out a group of people playing freeze tag. One of them was Sportacus. Gulping, Stephanie told Carolena who was who. Sportacus was in a crouching position, immobile. He was clearly tagged. Trixie was running about, avoiding Pixel. Stingy and Ziggy were also tagged, standing still as statues. Stephanie pulled Carolena behind a tree to wait. She didn't want them to see her quite yet, for her nerves needed to be calmed down first.

It sounded as though the gang stopped playing and chose another game to play. This time they decided to play Marco Polo on land. Everyone hid except for Sportacus, who closed his eyes and spun around. Stephanie peeked at him from behind the oak tree, and heard him calling out 'Marco.' Several other voices were audible with the response 'Polo.'

The chance was taken by Steph to approach her forgotten hero.. Slowly she walked towards the man, hearing gasps from her old friends as they too, saw her. No one moved, Carolena watched her new pal moving forward, seeing that Sportacus' eyes were still closed. The gang responded 'Polo' again, but then stopped, knowing Stephanie wanted her moment.

Closer, now inches away from her lost soldier, her Sportacus. Feelings flooded back to her heart and mind, remembering all the awesome times they had.

Sportacus shouted, "Marco!"

Inhaling deeply, Stephanie whispered, "Polo.."

Sportacus kept his eyes closed, as part of the game, and reached out, touching Stephanie's face. Gently opening his ocean blue eyes, Sportacus saw Stephanie, lowered his arm, and remained silent as a breeze after a storm.
