Chapter 1
Two weeks after The Long Journey Home
Sportacus and Stephanie had been sneaking around the past two weeks trying to avoid prying eyes. Neither one wanted anyone else to know they'd taken the next step in their relationship just yet. Needless to say, the cover of darkness was their friend. Well at least it was until tonight.
Stephanie snuck down the hallway and into the kitchen. The microwave clock read a little after one am. Her uncle would be waking up around five and that was around the same time the sun came up so she had some time. Popping on her sneakers, she was about to exit the front door when the knob turned. The pink girl froze. Who could it be at this hour?
Susan opened to the door to find Stephanie standing there. Puzzled, the nurse quickly closed the door and motioned for the two of them to head into the living room. Stephanie nodded and they quickly found the couch.
"So where were you going?" Susan asked quietly.
"Where have you been?" Stephanie gave her a look.
"Why don't we agree to disagree? Quite obviously we're both keeping secrets." The nurse had this "I know what you're doing" look on her face. After she and Robbie had talked, she'd agree to stay with him. The two had been incredibly happy and she'd been able to take a job at FunTown Hospital after quitting her old job. Later that morning the two were renting a U-Haul and driving to FunkyTown to empty her apartment.
"All right. Do I wanna know what Robbie and you were up to?" Stephanie raised an eyebrow.
"Probably not but I'd wager that you and Sportafruit were going to be doing the same thing." Susan tried to hide the smirk crossing her face.
"Sportafruit?" The pink one gave her a dirty look.
"A byproduct of hanging out with Robbie. Sorry." She smiled but wasn't going to let her young friend get away that easily.
"So you and he are…?"
"If you must know, yes." Despite the fact that the only light in the room was coming from the moonlit window, Susan could see Stephanie blush.
"Keeping it from your Uncle?" She wondered. Stephanie nodded.
"All right well your secret is safe with me. Go on. I'm heading back to bed." The nurse smiled again and left the pink one on the couch. Getting her thoughts in order, Stephanie quickly rushed out the door.
She didn't notice that someone was watching her every move as she ran toward the awaiting ladder. The person smirked thinking how nice it would be to get some cameras up in that airship and then plaster the videos all over YouTube ©. Of course, he could make himself a copy for any tips.
He realized that his quarry had disappeared and he quickly snuck back to his hiding spot in the old tree house. Grabbing all of his gear, the man headed for the nearest hotel to get a good night sleep. Tomorrow would be a big day and he'd need to be on his game.
