TWO HEARTS BREAK
Stephanie was crying so hard didnt notice that the rocket was heading straight towards the tree house. "Stephanie" Pixel yelled as he tried to control the rocket from his pocket size control board. "If I can just get it to swerve just a little".Pixel said as he was punching the controls with fury. "What the" just then the large pink balloon that had gotten away early became untangled from the tree limb. It floated in the path of the rocket. Boom the rocket exploded over the tree house and tiny pink and silver sparkles floated down over the trees.
The explosion was so loud it shook the trees and the house began to shake. Stephanie crying so hard for Sportacus and wondering why her heart was hurting didnt feel the little tree house beginning to slip from the limbs. Down came the tree house and some tree limbs as it fell. Pixel ran towards the remains of the treehouse and found Stephanie lying there with her eyes close and tears streaming down her face. She had some cuts and bruises and tiny pink and silver sprakles on her face. Shes beautiful Pixel thought to himself as her touched her cheek. "Stephanie" Pixel asked and he leaned down and kissed her lips. Stephanie's eyes begin to flutter and her lips were moving. She opened her eyes and saw that it was Pixel that had kissed her. A fleeting look of sadness crossed her face as Pixel helped her up. He knew right then that her heart was not his. Stephanie smiled and gave him her hand as he helped her up out of the rubble.
"Stephanie, are you alright" her Uncle said as he was checking her over. She just simply nodded and looked skyward. The sun was setting and the birds were singing but no sign of the airship. "Stephanie let's go get you cleaned up" Bessie said as she took charge of the situation.
"Milford! You and the boys get the park cleaned up and when we get back we will have our picnic". "Pixel make sure you have some festive music too" Bessie yelled to them as she was helping Stephanie towards her house. Stephanie just let Bessie take charge. For she was feeling lonely,angry,hurt and confused.
Bessie noticing that Stephanie was quiet just took that as her way of getting over everything that happened. Stephanie went in and showered and changed into another pink outfit while Bessie was making last minute cupcakes for the picnic. Since Sportacus wasnt here to supply the food. Rummaging throught Milfords frig. She came across some apples,cheese and crackers and other sports candy Sportacus would approve of.
Stephanie walked into the kitchen and saw all the food being packed into a basket. Stephanie started to cry again as she saw a red apple sitting on the counter. Stephanie could almost hear Sportacus' voice saying this is "sports candy". Bessie just held Stephanie until she was quiet again. "Bessie" Stephanie said in a small voice "Why does it hurt so much?" Bessie just smiled and said "It's because of Love." Stephanie looked at Bessie for a moment. "Love?" Stephanie quietly repeated the word. "Yes Stephanie your in love!".
