I imagine Stephanie to be around 16, but I never specifacally say her age. This was my first Sportasteoh so enjoy
Stephanie jump roped while the others kids watched her. Stingy and Tricksy were sitting on the bench, holding hands, their bodies pressed close to the other's. Stingy grew to be just as his name suggested, however, he had also learned through time to cherish his possession, although he still wouldn't share somethings. Tricksy was the same quick to laugh girl as she was in her youth, but had grown a curvy body to match her sassy attitude. Stephanie and her had gotten closer, finding more in common sometimes than the boys they hung out with. The same old Lazy Town park walls were a great place to relax, the playground was still occasionally used by the kids but since they were teenagers now playing on the childish structures didn't seem as fun as when they were younger. Pixel had his laptop open and was completing a complicated code, he was programing his own video game with the help of a online friend of his. Pixel was tall now, reaching a striking 6' 4" and although he told the others he wasn't dating his online friend, Tricksy still teased him constantly about the girl named Cam. Stephanie hummed to herself as she jump roped, thinking of all the good memories of this place. She could admit now that she had always had a crush on Sportacus, how could she not, he was always saving her and the other kids. He was her best friend and was always there for her when she needed a helping hand. And though she had grown curves over the years, and hard muscles from dancing and exercising, she still felt she wasn't good enough to match with the muscled figure of Sportacus.
Interrupting her thoughts came Ziggy, tripping over his shoelaces as he stumbled over to the other teens. Ziggy had lost quite a bit of baby fat over the years and still looked up to Sportacus, although he didn't run around pretending to be a superhero anymore. He had yet to go through the growth spurt that marked puberty but still hung with his older friends and got along with them well. Breathing hard, he still wasn't the healthiest of them, Ziggy gasped, "I just saw Sportacus jump straight from his airship and land on a nearby tree to save the Mayor! It was so cool!"
Tricksy just laughed, "But of course, this is Sportacus we're talking about."
Pixel's deep voice joined in on the conversation, "I wonder how high his highest jump distance is, would be cool to find out some time."
"Have any of you guys actually seen the inside of his airship before? Because I haven't," Stephanie asked her friends, still skipping rope.
"Hehe," Tricksy sly laugh was the first thing she heard, "Oh wouldn't you like to know what his house looks like."
Stephanie blushed a brilliant red, sputtering a reply. Because plot advancement Sportacus jumps over the brick wall, "What are you all up to?"
If possibly Stephanie blushed pinker and took a deep breath, knowing whatever Tricksy was going to say next was a bad idea, "We were just wondering if you would let us have a sleepover at your house. You know because we've never been inside."
Stingy was the first to raise an objection, "I don't think that's such a great idea," he wrapped his arms around Tricksy, showing the group he wasn't willing to share her.
Without blinking Tricksy slammed her elbow into his gut and he doubled over, "Maybe you should reconsider. Babe."
His reply was strained and the group had to really listen to hear the quiet, "Yeah."
Ignoring his moans of pain Tricksy turned back to Sportacus, "It's a plan then. Tonight we'll all come over to have a slumber party in Sportacus house. That okay with you, Sportacook?"
Sportacus mind was whirling, he hadn't failed to notice how much Stephanie had grown up, and she was a woman now. Just watching her made him think of things that ought not be thought, but, the rest of the kids WERE going to be there. He sighed, a smile appearing on his face to cover the emotional turmoil he was in, "I'm really excited! I'll have to get it ready with lots of sports candy and games. Can't have you guys getting bored."
Doing his signature move Sportacus flipped away from the group, so absorbed in his own thoughts he didn't notice Stephanie frozen in front of him, her face slowly getting less red. Ziggy pumped his arms, exited for the night, he was still slightly afraid of the dark but going to see Sportacus' house trumped that fear. He stumbled away from the group, going to get ready for the sleepover that was hours away. Pixel went back to his typing, only letting out a, "fine by me." Stephanie still stood unmoving, unsure what just happened, her mind not processing the things that had just happened. Stingy groaned, "Why did you do that?"
Tricksy rolled her eyes and whispered something in his ear. The teenage boy nodded in understanding, "oah that makes sense."
Stephanie was finally was shaken out of her stupor by Tricksy, who started dragging her toward her uncle's house. The pink haired girl attempted to make excuses, anything to not go to the sleepover. And it wasn't as if she dreaded the sleepover itself, in fact the sporty girl was rather excited to see Sportacus, airship, what she dreaded was whatever Tricksy was planning. She knew Tricksy, and she knew that when that black haired girl had a trick up her sleeve, no one could stop her.
