Chapter 3
Sportacus Reveals His Feelings
It's been a few days since Sportacus kissed Stephanie. Stephanie can't stop thinking about Sportacus's kiss. Stephanie is her bedroom writing in her diary. Stephanie heard something outside. Stephanie goes to the window and looked out. Sportacus is doing his morning routine. Stephanie started to watch Sportacus.
"Wow he looks so incredibly gorgeous when he does his routine." Stephanie thought herself.
All of a sudden there's a knock on Stephanie's bedroom door. Stephanie jumped a little than walked over to her door and opened it to find her uncle standing on the other side.
"There's someone downstairs that wants to see you." Milford said.
"Who is it?" Stephanie asked.
"You'll have to come and see." Milford answered.
Stephanie followed her uncle downstairs to find her mother Susanna sitting on the couch in the living room.
"What are you doing here mom?" Stephanie asked.
"I came to see my favorite daughter." Susanna answered.
"Mom, I'm your only daughter." Stephanie said.
"Yeah I know that's why you're my favorite." Susanna replied.
Stephanie ran back upstairs and got dressed for the day. Stephanie sighed than ran outside where Sportacus.
"Good morning Stephanie." Sportacus said.
"Could you come with me?" Stephanie asked.
"Yeah sure." Sportacus answered.
"There's someone I want you to meet." Stephanie said.
"Who would that be?" Sportacus asked.
"My mother Susanna." Stephanie answered.
Sportacus smiled a little than followed Stephanie to her house and inside. Susanna looked at Sportacus than at Stephanie.
"Who is your handsome friend?" Susanna asked.
"This is Lazy Town's resident superhero Sportacus." Stephanie answered.
Susanna got to her feet and shook Sportacus's hand.
"It's nice to meet you." Susanna said.
Sportacus smiled.
"It's nice to meet you too." Sportacus replied.
Sportacus started to beep and sighed.
"Who's in trouble?" Stephanie asked.
"Ziggy." Sportacus answered.
"Well you should go save him." Stephanie said.
"I'll see you later." Sportacus replied.
Stephanie smiled. Sportacus goes to leave but Stephanie stopped him and hugged him.
"I'll miss you." Stephanie said.
"Yeah same here and maybe can do something later." Sportacus replied.
Stephanie nodded her head and blushed. Sportacus ran off to save Ziggy. Susanna took Stephanie's hand and lead her out of earshot of her uncle.
"Why did you blush just a few minutes ago?" Susanna asked.
"I always do that around Sportacus." Stephanie answered.
"Do you like him?" Susanna asked.
"No, I don't like him but I do love him." Stephanie answered.
"I don't know if I'm okay with that." Susanna said.
"Why not mom?" Stephanie asked.
"He's just too old for you." Susanna answered.
"Age doesn't matter when you're in love." Stephanie said.
"Yes it does when you're only 18 years old." Susanna replied.
"Mom, you're been so unfair because I've never felt this way anyone." Stephanie said.
"I'm your mother so what I say goes young lady." Susanna said.
Stephanie sighed.
"I hate you." Stephanie yelled.
Stephanie ran out of the house. Sportacus saw Stephanie running. Stephanie sat down on the bench outside the wall of the sportsfield. Sportacus backflipped over and sat down next to Stephanie.
"What's wrong?" Sportacus asked.
"My mother found out that about my feelings for you and she doesn't want me being with you because of the age difference between us." Stephanie answered.
Sportacus sighed.
"Do you want me to talk to her for you?" Sportacus asked.
"Yes that would be good because I don't want to see her right now." Stephanie answered.
Sportacus smiled than backflipped to Mayor Meanswells's house. Sportacus knocked on the door. Milford opened the door.
"What I can help with Sportacus?" Milford asked.
"I would like to talk your niece's mother." Sportacus answered.
Susanna walked into the hallway.
"What would like to talk me about?" Susanna asked.
"I want to know what you have against your daughter being in love with me." Sportacus answered.
Susanna sighed.
"I don't want to see her get like I did." Susanna said.
"What do you mean like you?" Sportacus asked.
"Her father and I so much in love than with no warning he left me." Susanna answered.
Sportacus sighed.
"I would never ever do that Stephanie." Sportacus said.
"How do you feel about my daughter?" Susanna asked.
"I care her very much and I never ever saw myself being anyone until she came to Lazy Town all those years ago." Sportacus answered.
"Oh okay." Susanna said.
"Well of course back than I pushed the feelings aside because she was way too younger but lately they have been getting stronger because I have been noticed that she grown in a beautiful young lady." Sportacus replied.
"You have to promise that you protect her at all costs?" Susanna asked.
"You have my word that I won't let anything harm her." Sportacus answered.
"Alright than I trust you." Susanna said.
"Does mean you're okay with us being together?" Sportacus asked.
"Yes that's what I mean but you can't keep your feelings from her too much longer or she might give up on you." Susanna answered.
Sportacus smiled than backflipped to where Stephanie is. Sportacus sat down next to Stephanie. Sportacus grinned than put his arm around Stephanie's shoulder. Stephanie looked in Sportacus's Icelandic blue eyes.
"What did my mother say?" Stephanie asked.
"She's okay with it now." Sportacus answered.
Sportacus sighed deeply.
Stephanie looked at Sportacus.
"What's wrong?" Stephanie asked.
"I was just thinking about a song that I've wanted to sing to you for a long time now." Sportacus answered.
"What's the name of the song?" Stephanie asked.
"It's called I Plead Insanity." Sportacus answered.
Stephanie smiled as Sportacus started to sing.
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
I can't be responsible
For anything I do now or say now
I get too excitable
To control the way I behave now
I'm afraid of what I do
If I find myself in love with you
It's just a crime of passion baby
Don't hold it against me
I'm innocent,
I'm just out of my mind
I plead insanity
Ooooooh I'm so mad about you
I can't think straight, I can't see straight
I plead insanity
All I do is obsess about you
I can't work days, I can't sleep nights
I plead insanity
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
I know that there are rules to this
And I plan to break every one of them
And if I go too far tonight
Baby you can be my allaby
And if I act irrational
I'm not responsible
For anything that happens here
Don't hold it against me
I'm innocent,
I'm just out of my mind
I plead insanity
Ooooooh I'm so mad about you
I can't think straight, I can't see straight
I plead insanity
All I do is obsess about you
I can't work days, I can't sleep nights
I plead insanity
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
I plead insanity
Ooooooh I'm so mad about you
I can't think straight, I can't see straight
I plead insanity
All I do is obsess about you
I can't work days, I can't sleep nights
I know my fantasy
All I need is to see it come true with you
I plead insanity
nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Stephanie smiled and cuddled to Sportacus.
"That was such a beautiful song." Stephanie said.
"I'm glad you think and it really suits how I feel." Sportacus replied.
Stephanie looked at Sportacus.
"How do you feel about me?" Stephanie asked.
"I never ever thought been with someone until you came to Lazy Town all those years ago and I knew that you were too young back but lately it's been harder for me suppress them." Sportacus answered.
"Why has been harder?" Stephanie asked.
"It's harder because I've noticed lately how much a beautiful young lady you become and I know that I can't keep them inside anymore." Sportacus answered.
Stephanie smiled.
"I didn't fall in love with you at first when I came to Lazy Town but as time went I did." Stephanie said.
"Do you remember when you started fallin in love with me?" Sportacus asked.
"Yes I do just like it was yesterday." Stephanie answered.
"Would you mind telling me?" Sportacus asked.
"I would love to tell you." Stephanie answered.
Sportacus moved closer to Stephanie and put his arm around her. Sportagirl is watching from a distance and she just smiled. Stephanie sighed.
~Flashback to when Stephanie was 14 years old~
Stephanie is playing basketball with Stingy, Trixie and Ziggy.
"Has anyone seen Sportacus today?" Trixie asked.
"I saw him early when he was doing his morning stretches." Stephanie answered.
Sportacus backflipped over them. Stephanie smiled.
"Where you have been all day?" Stephanie asked.
"I was up in my airship just thinking." Sportacus answered.
"Thinking about what?" Stephanie asked.
"I don't feel discussing at this very moment." Sportacus answered.
"Oh okay than you'd have to." Stephanie said.
Sportacus sighed than took the basketball and threw into the hoop. Sportacus started doing some cool sport moves with the basketball. Stephanie watched him in wonder.
"Wow he's so incredibly gorgeous. Wait hold on here I can't be thinking because he's way too old for me." Stephanie thought to herself.
Sportacus looked over at Stephanie and smiled at her. Stephanie felt her checks go flushed with heat. Sportacus laughed a little. Stephanie smiled back at Sportacus.
~End of flashback~
The air started to cool and Stephanie shivered. Sportacus pulled Stephanie up into his lap and wrapped his arms around to keep her warm. Sportagirl walked over them.
"I'm glad to see that you have finally admitted your feelings to each other." Sportagirl said.
Sportacus smiled at his twin sister. Sportagirl sat down next to them.
"It feels really good getting out in the open." Sportacus replied.
Sportagirl smiled and nodded her head. A few minutes Sportagirl looked at Stephanie to she had fallen asleep with arms wrapped around Sportacus.
"Look down Sportacus." Sportagirl said.
Sportacus looked down and seen Stephanie sleepily soundly in his arms. Sportacus got to his feet without waking Stephanie and carried her back her uncle's house. The house is silent when Sportacus kicked the door open with his foot. Sportacus carried Stephanie up her bedroom and laid her on her bed. Sportacus tucked Stephanie and kissed her on the forehead.
"Sweet dreams my angel." Sportacus whispered.
Stephanie just smiled in her sleep. Sportacus left and went to his airship. Sportacus fell asleep as he fell onto the bed. Sportacus started to dream of his future with Stephanie and Stephanie is her bed dreaming about her future with Sportacus.
