Together Forever?

Chapter 1

Stephanie waited for Sportacus' answer. He seemed unsure of what to say. Finally, he opened his mouth to say something.

"Stephanie, I love you, you know I do and I would love nothing more than to be by your side forever but…" Sportacus stopped himself.

"But what? We love each other and we've been seeing each other for five years. I only want to be with you." Stephanie could feel her cheeks turning red.

"You start college soon. I don't want our relationship to get the way of your dreams. Besides you're only eighteen." Sportacus tried to reason with her.

"I don't care that I'm only eighteen and I don't care about college. I don't have to go to a big school to get a good education. I can go to LazyTown Community College. I just want to be by your side forever. Is that so wrong? Can't college take a back seat to our happiness?" Stephanie argued as tears started to well up in her eyes. Sportacus had no answer for her and she ran away from him and the graduation party.

She ran and ran until she was completely out of breath. Usually she would've hidden in the tree house but it wasn't rebuild after its destruction. Instead she curled up on the nearest park bench and cried.

Back at the party, Amanda saw her new friend run away from Sportacus. She decided to discreetly slip away and find out where Stephanie went. It would be up to Sportacus to explain Stephanie's absence.

Amanda walked toward the Mayor's house, figuring that maybe Stephanie just went to get something. It was then she saw her friend balled up on a park bench. Quickly, Amanda went to Stephanie's side and tried to comfort her friend.

"Stephanie what happened?" Amanda asked concerned. Stephanie mumbled something through her sobs. Then she wrapped her arms around Amanda. Surprised, Amanda responded,

"Everything will be ok. Come on. Tell me what happened." Stephanie released her new friend from her grip and wiped away some tears.

"I just don't understand. Why wouldn't he…" Stephanie stopped and suddenly got up from the bench. Amanda watched as she ran off. Completely confused as to what was going on, Amanda decided to try to follow.

Sportacus was unsure of what to do. He loved Stephanie but he didn't want to get the way of her dreams. She had often told him of wanting to go to college and getting a good job. Her dream of becoming anything she wanted had always been very important to both of them. Now she was willing to throw away that dream so she could be with him. What was he going to do?

It was then that Mayor Meanswell interrupted Sportacus' thoughts. He wanted to know where Stephanie was. Sportacus said he didn't know and that he would go look for her. The Mayor said that was unnecessary, that she was probably off with her new friend Amanda. Sportacus only nodded, not seeming to completely absorb what Milford just told him.

Amanda was soon out of breath. Stephanie was faster than the slightly overweight girl but she continued to try to keep up. Finally, Amanda saw her enter the police station. What in God's green acres is she doing? She thought to herself as she came up to the steps of the police house.

To Be Continued…
