May 27th, 2015.

It was early morning in Lazytown. Kaitlyn was excited for today as it was her birthday. She had big plans; so she got up early so she could make sure everything went well. She got up and hopped off her loft bed; nearly tripping over the edge on the way down. She tossed on her special medium length Lavender dress and put her hair up into a bun; tucking any loose or annoying hair behind her ears, leaving their pointy-ness exposed. She usually had her hair down but she liked her hair up when she wore this dress; and she only wore it on her birthday. Of course it had to be altered over the years as she grew so it was lucky she was friends with a seamstress.

She then slipped on her matching Lavender flats and put a flower in her hair. She didn't completely understand why she liked this look so much; perhaps because it was linked to her birthday more than anything else? She shrugged it off and headed outside to meet up with everyone and see if they were as excited for today as she was. There was a nice breeze that morning; and it was blowing the scents of the flowers all through the air, there were no clouds, it wasn't too hot out. It was nice.

She caught sight of the other kids playing just as Sportacus's airship flew overhead. She had originally asked for him to meet up with her but he had to do some maintenance on the airship before he could. Perhaps he did it early morning before she got up? She waved to Sportacus as she spotted him climbing down his latter. He waved back.

She approached the group who smiled at her... until they saw her ears. They didn't understand what it meant but it worried them a little. Although they had to admit it was kinda cool as it reminded them of a video game; they couldn't help but back up a little. Kaitlyn looked at them curiously; were they afraid of her? and why? Did she have a bug on her?

" What's wrong? " She asks innocently.

" Your ears..." Stephanie says shakily.

" What 'bout them? " She runs her finger across her right ear; following the slight point.

" They are freaky! " Trixie throws in. This kind of hurt Kaitlyn's feelings.

" I was just born with them. I cannot change them. " She said sadly. " Do you guys like, wanna play? "

They turned around and began talking in secret. She knew they probably wouldn't to; given how they reacted to her ears so she began daydreaming, imagining if they HAD accepted her and maybe them thinking is was cool. I mean they were her friends before they knew about her ears; shouldn't they still be after finding out?

" Um. I don't know. " Stephanie says turning back around. " We will think about it, okay "

Kaitlyn nodded. Stephanie seemed more okay with it than the others were but she knew that even if she convinced them to try and play they wouldn't really want to. Kaitlyn walked away sadly; shedding a tear. She glanced to the side at Sportacus who looked a little concerned for her; but she simply kept walking. She went to the music center; where which a lot of the time they would put on random plays for the rest of the town.

Kaitlyn loved to sing; it helped calm her down when she was mad or cheer her up when sad, so this was her first instinct. She walked up to the stage and headed up to the mic. When she checked it; it was not on. Good; she did not want anyone to hear her, she had major stage fright so if anyone caught her singing she would die of shyness.

She closed her eyes and began to sing; suddenly the world closed out of her mind, she could only focus on the words. It was a good thing too; because during this state of mind, Sportacus walked into the music center as well. As soon as her voice hit his ears; he stopped dead in his tracks. Her voice was amazing; enlightening... Entrancing. He was unable to move or control himself while she sang; and he felt the urge to do whatever she wished. But why was this?

He was used to singing in Lazytown but what was so different about her singing. I mean sure she didn't do it often and only when everyone else was singing too. Perhaps everyone else singing with her drowned out her effect but singing alone put her power on full blast. He felt his heart beat out of control for her; and he was not sure why. No one had ever had such a trance on him so what changed.

Once she stopped singing; she opened her eyes and caught sight of Sportacus standing there with his jaw dropped. She wanted to run off; embarrassed, but was rather worried about him when he wouldn't move. She tilted her head at him; before her imagination went wild and she burst out laughing. That was the thing that broke his trance; was the sound of her beautiful laugh.

" Hey. You okay? " He said; walking closer to her. " You seemed upset before "

" Eh. I don't know. " She say, looking down sadly. " No one wanted to play with me "

" Why not? You look beautiful, you are an amazing person... " He trailed off; causing her to blush.

" Even on my birthday. I mean c'mon "

" Yeah... But it will be okay. "

He held his hand out to help her off the stage; which almost caused her to fall into his arms. She smiled shyly at him as he led her out of the music center. She was still a little upset by what they said and knew they would judge her no matter what... Or would they? Sportacus has her sit on a bench before he goes over to the other kids to talk to them. Kaitlyn caught him taking off his hat and revealing he had slightly pointed ears like her; but she could not very well make out what they were saying. Though they seemed happy and excited; before looking over at her and giving an apologetic look. Soon enough Sportacus made his way back over to her.

" You can go hang out with them now " He says to her; smiling. " I have a few things I need to do still but I may join you after. Okay? "

" Okay, thanks " Kaitlyn jumped up and hugged him before he jumped and flipped off.

Kaitlyn headed over to the other kids who apologized but then excitedly kicked a soccer ball towards her. Stephanie raised an eyebrow at her as the ball hit her in the foot. Kaitlyn suddenly got an evil grin; accepting Stephanie's challenge. She broke out into a sprint; dodging their attempts to steal the ball from her. She took all her strength and kicked the ball past all of them into the goal.

Everyone was celebrating until out of nowhere; Robbie Rotten appears and steals the ball from them. They sigh; even Kaitlyn face-palming as they all most likely predicted him appearing to ruin their fun. Robbie had only come out of his little underground lair once briefly in the three months she had been living there. She figured he was just too lazy to bother given there was a new person in town and would cause more of a ruckus.

" Can we have our ball back please? " Kaitlyn asked politely.

" Hmm let me think about it... No " Robbie said with a brief pause, he then laughed.

Suddenly he went into a state of deep thought; staring directly at Kaitlyn, but no one knew why. Maybe not even him. Kaitlyn waved a hand in front of Robbie's face in hopes to grab his attention; which she did after about 30 seconds. His eyes narrowed at her suspiciously; maybe he thought she was going to do something to him. Or perhaps it was reversed. She couldn't tell. I mean it was Robbie after all.

" You remind me of some I once knew when I was little. " He say.

" Who? "

" Day. Debra-lee Anne Staar. "

" My mom? " Kaitlyn asked; shocked that he knew her mother.

Suddenly the same picture from her dreams of the woman laying on a bed flashed through her mind. She fell to her knees. The image hurt to see and was more vivid than ever. She could see the light reflecting off her beautiful orange-brown hair; her blue-green eyes staring straight at her. When Kaitlyn looked down she could see she was wrapped up in something. She was a baby? Wait! If she was a baby this meant that the woman was her mother.

Kaitlyn was jolted back into reality when she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Sportacus. Seeing him caused her to see something else. The little boy who she also saw in her dreams. If what she figured was right; and she figured she saw the image of her mother because Robbie mentioned her, then was Sportacus was the little boy who left her at the foster home all those years ago. When the image cleared she looked at him; simply wondering why he left her there, and what happened to her mother that he would have to do that.

" Are you alright? " Sportacus asked; concerned for her.

" I think. I just suddenly got really dizzy. " She didn't dare mention the dreams just yet; though he could tell there was something she was holding back on.

" You should go get some rest then. " He say; she was about to object as it was her birthday. " We can throw a party for you tomorrow, once you are better. Okay? "

She tried to get up but she suddenly get extremely tired; and mixed with the dizziness and pain, she didn't have the strength to get up or stay awake. Sportacus picked her up; whilst the others could be heard whispering " Poor Kaitlyn " before he carried her home. Once he reached her bedroom; he used her desk chair to step up and place her in her loft bed. Once she was nice and tucked in like the little girl he wanted to protect; he placed a small box he had in his backpack onto her desk. It was a light blue box with a lavender ribbon on it; though there was no label as to who it was from.

Sportacus quietly left the house before doing his signature pose and flipping off. This time around; Kaitlyn did not have the dreams she usually did while she was asleep, instead she just saw herself crying and falling whilst staring up at the airship. This caused her to jolt awake and almost hit her head on the ceiling as she jumped up to a sitting position. She felt her heart beat uncontrollably; and she could feel her blood rush with adrenaline and fear. Though it was only a dream... Right.

She was shocked to see she slept for a while; as it just reached 8:10 PM, right after when everyone was supposed to be going to sleep. She figured she would change into her pajamas and just watch some TV until she was tired again then go back to sleep. Ah pajamas; the soft Lavender-ness and comfort of them caused her to do a happy dance. Why she liked to wear them even just around the house she didn't know but she still did it. Though walking barefoot on the wooden floor wasn't COMPLETELY comfortable.

She looks back at her desk and catches sight of the box Sportacus left for her. She slipped off the ribbon and pulled off the top of the box. Inside was a beautiful crystal necklace with a pearl in the cage atop the crystal. What color was said pearl? Who couldn't guess it was Lavender. She was so amazed at the beauty that she put it on immediately. She felt a rush of some strange feeling go through her. She then began to read the note:

Dear Kaitlyn,

My beautiful little girl; how much you have grown. I have been forced to write this whilst pregnant with you because of the dreams. If I was not there to give this to you myself and my suspicions were correct; then your father has reached and killed me. Your father did not want you; and wanted to kill us both but I fled with Sportacus and his older brother Milanrus to our home of an island in the north sea.

When I found out I was expecting you I was still living in Lazytown such as you are now; but when I told your father he wanted us dead so that is why we fled. I hope to keep you safe; so if he finds me then Milanrus and Sportacus will take you somewhere safe where you may grow and be the person you are whilst reading this. However if I am wrong then you shall receive this from myself on the island. The necklace inside this box was once mine; and will unlock the powers you possess within you. Though I suspect you may have already unlocked some on your own at this age.

The reason you possess these powers is because you are an Elf. Not many exist; only the ones who live on the island. That is why you have the pointed ears and as I suspect; the visions too. The dreams. Unfortunately this is all I can explain myself as things are still happening for myself. If you require more information as to your story; then talk to Sportacus. He will gladly explain. I love you baby. And happy birthday sweetheart.

-Mother

Kaitlyn shed a tear. She dropped the paper and ran outside. Winter was long in Lazytown so even in May it was still snowing at night. She looked around and caught sight of her newly discovered fellow elf doing a final check around Lazytown. Kaitlyn did the first thing her instincts told her; and she broke out into a sprint. She didn't care how cold it was outside; she just wanted him, wanted an explanation. She couldn't even think straight at that moment. Once she got close enough; Sportacus heard her coming and turned around only to be faced with a hug from the crying elf.

" Hey... It's okay. " He say rubbing her head with his thumb. She pull from the hug and look up at him with her teary eyes.

" I want to know the whole story. From your point of view. " She say to him. He figured she would.

He nodded and called down his airship to come to the ground so she could get out of the cold. It was quite warm inside the pure white room; but in her mind it was quite empty, that is until he stepped on a button and a bed came down from the wall. She sat down on the end of the bed whilst he wrapped her in blankets to warm her up; before he sat down next to her. He took his time explaining the story to the best of his abilities so that she could understand easier.

Once he was finished; she just burst out crying. All that pain and loss; for her, and how evil of a father she had to want to kill both her and her mother. Sportacus pulled her close as she buried her face in his chest; trying not to cry himself. Once she was all cried out; she found herself very tired again and began yawning like crazy. Sportacus gave a slight chuckle at her; because how even after sleeping so long was she still tired out.

" Let me take you home. " He say; looking down at her.

" Can I... stay here with you? " She asks innocently. This reaction slightly shocked him.

" Of course. " He said; kissing her on the head. " I just have to move the airship first. "

He got up and went into the driving compartment of the airship and flew the airship to the side of town so it could be out of the way. Once that was done he came back to Kaitlyn starting to doze off just sitting there. He smiled. He helped her into bed before she turned on her side; very quickly falling asleep. He gives her one more kiss on the forehead before attempting to sleep in the drivers seat; but when he tried to move, Kaitlyn grabs his arm and wraps hers around it to in a way cuddle his arm. He knew it was clear she didn't want him to leave; so he freed his arm and went around to the other side of the bed, get under the covers and cuddle up against her. He fell asleep then and there.
