Author's note: YES! ANOTHER ONE! I CAN'T STOP IT! I LOVE WRITING LAZYTOWN FANFICS!

Chapter 1

It was June 4th, and a bunch of kids – Ziggy, Trixie, Pixel and Stingy, stood in front of the entrance of the LazyTown, waiting for something.

"Ooh, when is she going to come? Did the mayor said what time?" Ziggy, the youngest of the kids, with blue eyes and blond hair, asked the rest.

"No, he just said that Maddie went to the train station two hours ago," Pixel said.

"Oh... I just really can't wait to see Stephanie again!" Ziggy cried.

Suddenly, they heard a very loud noise. A small, red car entered the town. It went towards the mayor's garage, and parked in there.

Stephanie, who was in the back seat of the car, looked out the rear window of the car. The kids were coming towards the car to greet her.

"Why, it looks like your friends are here already! How about you'll go and I'll take your luggage?" Maddie suggested and Stephanie nodded and jumped out of the car. Maddie laughed and shook her head, then went to take Stephanie's luggage from the trunk.

"Stephanie!" the kids cheered.

"Hey, guys!" she went to hug them.

"Oh, Pinky, we waited the whole year just to see you!" Trixie said.

While they were all hugging, Sportacus was making his way to the town in his airship. He had been away in the past week, but now he was coming back.

"Oh wow! I can't believe it has been a year since Stephanie visited here last time! I can't wait to see her!" he told himself as he entered the town.

"Hey look, it's Sportacus's airship!" Ziggy called.

The kids looked up to the sky, and Stephanie smiled. She waited just for him.

The airship stopped not so far away from them, and Sportacus went down the ladder.

"Sportacus!" they greeted him.

"Hey kids! Welcome back Stephanie, it's great to see you again!" he told her.

Suddenly, a red, white and brown blur ran towards him, almost knocking him to the ground.

"Maddie!?" Sportacus was surprised as the 17 years old girl wrapped her legs around his waist.

"The one and only!" she laughed and kissed him.

Stephanie's mouth opened wide as she saw that.

Maddie jumped to the ground when Trixie said, "Oh, for god's sake, get a room already! Do you really have to do these things in front of us?"

"Wait... You two are a couple?" Stephanie asked confused.

"Yes, I thought you knew," Maddie told her.

Inside of her, Stephanie's temperature was heating. She was really mad. Not because she was the last one to know, but because she has a huge crush on Sportacus!

"No, I didn't... But at least now I know..." she tried her best to smile.

Since it was hot outside, the kids, Mandy and Sportacus went inside the mayor's house to enjoy the A/C and some fruits smoothie. Sportacus and Maddie sat next to the counter while the kids sat on the couch.

"Seriously, Maddie, your fruits smoothie is the best in the world!" Ziggy said.

"Thank you Ziggy! But I have to say, I learned it from the best," Maddie said and looked at Sportacus, who looked back at her.

"So tell me... How did you two ended up together?" Stephanie asked curiously.

"Well, actually, it's thanks to the smoothie," Sportacus said.

"Yeah, it was October two years ago, two months after you left, and we were already kind of friends. One time I asked him if he could show me how he makes these ama-a-azing smoothies, so he invited me one day after school to the airship," Maddie told her.

"And I showed her step-by-step how to make it, but we ended up having a 'fruit-fight' all over the airship!" Sportacus laughed.

"Yup, and that's when we had-" Maddie couldn't finish her sentence.

"-Our first kiss!" Ziggy continue. Everybody looked at him.

"What? I love this story!" he said, making everyone laugh.

"Oh hey, how about we'll go play some soccer after we're done with the smoothies?" Stephanie suggested and the kids got excited.

"Hey, will come with us?" Sportacus asked his girlfriend.

"Ugh, no, I have some housework to do today. Well, this is what I get for staying here this summer," Maddie complained.

Stephanie didn't show it, but she was kind of happy that her cousin couldn't join them, so she can have Sportacus to herself a little.

"Oh, that's too bad!" Stephanie told her, "but I'm sure you'll join us later, right?"

"Sure, as soon as I'm done with my chores. Now go and play, I'll be fine!" Maddie laughed.

Stephanie and the kids played all the morning. Also, she was glad she could spend some time with Sportacus. All she had been thinking of in the past two years is him. Play with him, dance with him, being in his arms when he rescue her... She wished she could marry him someday, but nooo! Maddie had to get in the way!

Luckily, her uncle came to say hello and distracted her from her thoughts about Maddie.

"Hello, Stephanie!" he interrupted the game.

"Uncle Milford!" she left everything and rushed to hug him.

"My, it's good to see you again!" he hugged her back.

"You too, uncle!" she said and let go.

"Maddie called me earlier when you arrived, but I was too busy in the office! But it's almost 1:30PM, so we have enough time to catch up at lunch right not," Milford told his niece.

"Yes, that'd be great!" Stephanie said and was about to leave with him.

"Oh, yes, and also Ms. Busybody is joining us! Ah, speaking of which, Sportacus, would you join us as well?" Milford turned and asked the hero.

Stephanie was confused. Sportacus was never invited to lunch or breakfast. Why now- OH, MADDIE!

"Why, sure! I would love too!" he smiled and joined them.

At lunch, Stephanie hoped she could at least get a chance to sit next to Sportacus, but again, Maddie already caught that spot. But at least she got to sit in front of him, that's also something.

"So tell me, Stephanie, how is your father, Louise, is doing?" Bessie asked Stephanie, who sat next to her.

"Doing fine, I guess," the pink girl simply replied.

"Oh, yeah! I forgot to thank Uncle Louise for my last birthday present!" Maddie said.

"I don't even remember what he sent you," Milford commented.

"Oh, this beautiful dress I saw when we last visited them, don't you remember?" Maddie looked at her father.

"Oh, yes, yes, now I do!" Milford nodded, but inside of him he felt sad remembering it.

Milford was a single father, after his wife died in her labor. He raised Madeline by himself, and was both her father and mother – but without the girly parts. Well, when she was little, it was easier, but once she needed to get bras, or deal with her first period, Bessie came to the rescue. Maddie would never define her as her "new mother", but she really finds her warm and loving as one. The two do have a lot of "mother-daughter" moments, like going on shopping together in the cities around LazyTown, or even on a "lazy day" (with how much it's possible in LazyTown) just sit around and chat, or bake. And lucky for Milford, Madeline was never a "tomboy", she was all girly and feminine from the start. So when they last visited his brother in the city, they all went to the mall and he memorized the look on Madeline's face when she saw that fancy dress. But it cost 300$! Even Bessie don't spend such an amount of money on clothes! Even though he was the mayor of LazyTown, he wasn't as rich as his brother in the city. Sure, they had TV, and Maddie had her own PC, smartphone and even the tablet she wanted for her last birthday, but when it came to money, Milford was a very calculated man.

"Oh, I still can't wait to wear it! I wish there was an event soon in town so I could," Maddie laughed.

"Well, actually, Bessie and I received today a letter from the president!" Milford announced. Sportacus, Maddie and Stephanie were shocked.

"He finally answered?!" Maddie asked.

"Yes! Therefore, Bessie and I started to plan a big party for him and his family at the town hall, since he's coming in two weeks from today!" Milford was excited.

"Wow, uncle, that's wonderful!" Stephanie smiled.

"Thank you Stephanie!" he said.

"Oh, plus, we have a big request from you, Madeline!" Bessie exclaimed and Maddie looked confused.

"We thought that you could sing for the president at the party!" Bessie told her.

"Really?! I would be really honored, thank you!" Maddie almost cried.

Stephanie now felt even more jealous. First she took Sportacus from her, and now she performs for the president of the country?! That just wasn't fair.

"So, Maddie, do you have any plans for this afternoon? Because I thought maybe we could catch this new French movie today," Bessie asked her.

"Oh, I really wish I could, but Sporty and I already have plans, remember?" Maddie told her, and Stephanie almost chocked on her food.

"Plans? What kind of plans?" Stephanie asked.

"We're organizing the gym hall for a special activity day for the kids tomorrow," Sportacus explained.

"And, um... Do you need some help?" Stephanie tried not to sound suspicious.

"Thanks, Steph, but it's a surprise for you all," Maddie smiled at her, and she hated it.
