Little No Longer And A Sick Superhero

"Ahhhh" Stephanie screams.

Sportacus and Milford run up to the bathroom door.

Milford knocks on the door.

"Is everything okay in there?" Milford asks.

"No it's not please get me Bessie" Stephanie answers between tears.

"Why do you need her?" Sportacus asks.

"I just do" Stephanie answers.

"Could one of us help you out?" Sportacus asks.

"No I kind need a woman for this" Stephanie answers.

Sportacus's eyes widen from shock.

"What's wrong with you?" Milford asks.

"I think I know why she screamed" Sportacus answers.

"Why did she?" Milford asks.

"Let's say your niece is no longer a little girl but a young woman" Sportacus answers.

"What do you mean?" Milford asks.

"It's kind of hard for a man to explain that so maybe we should get Bessie" Sportacus answers.

"Could you get her please?" Milford asks.

Sportacus nods his head.

"Yeah sure I can" Sportacus answers.

Sportacus walks down the stairs and backflips out the door to Bessie's house.

Bessie is out in the front yard reading a book.

Sportacus clears his throat.

Bessie looks up from her book.

"What can I help you with?" Bessie asks.

"I'm not the one that needs help it's Stephanie" Sportacus answers.

"Why is she okay?" Bessie asks.

"Yeah soft of but she just needs a woman and as you can see I'm not one those thank goodness" Sportacus answers.

Bessie laughs a little.

"That's true you're not" Bessie says.

Bessie gets to her feet.

Sportacus starts cartwheels back over to Mayor Meanswell's house

Bessie walks over to Mayor Meanswell's house.

Sportacus comes cartwheeling in the door.

"Did she come out yet?" Sportacus asks.

"No she's refuses to come out" Milford answers.

Bessie walks into the house than runs upstairs to the bathroom and knocks on the door.

"Open up Stephanie" Bessie says.

Stephanie opens the door and Bessie walks into the bathroom.

Bessie looks around the bathroom.

Stephanie walks over and sits back on the floor where she was before Bessie came.

"I'm so embarrassed" Stephanie whimpers.

"About what?" Bessie asks.

Stephanie looks over at a big red stain on the floor.

"That over there" Stephanie answers.

"Oh my goodness" Bessie says.

"What does it mean?" Stephanie asks.

"It means that you are now a young lady" Bessie answers.

Stephanie moans.

"Oh great" Stephanie groans.

"No it's the most wonderful thing that could happen to a woman because it will prepare to have kids someday down the road" Bessie says.

"I don't want to have kids" Stephanie yells.

Sportacus is sitting outside the bathroom door and busts out laughing.

"Listen to me deary it's not as bad as you think it is" Bessie says.

"Yes it is because Sportacus figured it out before my uncle did and my uncle is still clueless to what is going on with me" Stephanie replies.

"Well that doesn't surprise because your uncle is pretty clueless most of the time anyway" Bessie says.

Stephanie sighs.

Bessie runs over to her house than returns a few minutes with a bag and hands it to Stephanie.

"What's this?" Stephanie asks.

"It's pads deary...they've been my house for longest time and I don't need them anymore" Bessie answers.

"Thanks I really appreciate it" Stephanie says.

Bessie leaves the bathroom and notices Sportacus sitting on the ground.

"How long have you been sitting there?" Bessie asks.

"Long enough to know that Stephanie doesn't want kids but she may change her mind" Sportacus answers.

Bessie laughs and walks downstairs.

Milford looks at Bessie.

"What's wrong with my niece anyway?" Milford asks.

"It's a girl thing" Bessie answers.

Milford finally understands what's going on and his widen from shock.

"Oh this is so great she's woman now" Milford says.

"I won't be the perky in front of her because she's really embarrassed" Bessie replies.

Sportacus comes into the walking on his hands follow by Stephanie.

"Are you okay now?" Milford asks.

"Yeah I'm fine" Stephanie answers.

Sportacus looks at Stephanie.

They all eat their supper in silence.

Milford walks over to the oven and takes a double chocolate cake.

"Yummy...chocolate" Stephanie yells.

Milford looks at Sportacus.

"I made this before I knew you were coming" Milford answers.

"That's okay really don't worry about it" Sportacus says.

"Couldn't you have a little piece?" Stephanie asks.

"I guess it won't hurt but as long nobody else finds out" Sportacus answers.

Stephanie smiles a little.

Milford cuts a little piece and passes it to Sportacus.

Stephanie goes over and cuts a really big piece for herself.

"Do you think you cut big enough?" Bessie asks.

"It's my favorite but I don't' get to have it very often" Stephanie answers.

Sportacus staring at the piece of cake in front of him than he takes the fork and eats a small bite.

"Hm...this is actually good" Sportacus says.

"Thank you" Milford replies.

A few minutes later Sportacus's piece is gone.

Sportacus starts to feeling weak and he shakes his head.

Bessie looks at Sportacus.

"You don't look so good" Bessie says.

"Thanks for pointing that out but I already knew that because feel terrible" Sportacus repleis.

Sportacus runs up to the bathroom ant throws up.

"Are superhero supposed to throw up?" Milford asks.

"No I don't think they are" Bessie answers.

Stephanie runs upstairs to the bathroom and walks in.

"Are you okay?" Stephanie asks.

"No I'm not and I should've listen to that little voice in my head telling me not to eat that chocolate cake" Sportacus answers.

"Are you having sugar meltdown?" Stephanie asks.

"I have confession to make" Sportacus answers.

"What is it?" Stephanie asks.

"I just made up the sugar meltdown thing to cover up what I really have" Sportacus answers.

"What do you really have?" Stephanie asks.

Sportacus lets out a long sigh.

"I'm really diabetic" Sportacus answers.

"Oh well diabetic can have little sugar" Stephanie says.

"Yes I know but I just not anybody I'm superhero and when superhero they are supposed stay away from sugar all together" Sportacus replies.

Stephanie walks over and hugs Sportacus.

"Are you going to be okay?" Stephanie asks.

"Yeah I'll be fine" Sportacus answers.

They both walk back downstairs and falls on the couch.

"You just rest here until you feel better" Stephanie says.

Sportacus smiles and nods his head.

Milford is out the kitchen doing the dishes.

Stephanie comes out the kitchen and looks around.

"Where did Bessie go?" Stephanie asks.

"She went home" Milford answers.

"Would you like some help with the dishes?" Stephanie asks.

"Yeah sure that would great" Milford answers.
