ABC'S OF SPORTACUS
B IS FOR BOO, BALLS AND BOYS
Stephanie watched Sportacus bounce away to his airship. "Hmm bounce,boing,bubble,balloon"Stephanie was saying to herself outloud as Trixie snuck up behind her and yelled "Boo" Stephanie jumped off the bench and dropped all her papers. Then a gust of wind blew them away. "Oh Trixie!" Stephanie yelled at her as she chased her papers down the street. Trixie ran after Stephanie and tried to help catch her papers. The wind blew her papers onto the playing ground.
Stephanie was able to stop a few of her papers as they were wind swept into the soccer net. As she turned around to pick them up she didnt notice that Pixel and Ziggy were playing soccer with the new SoccerMate 5000. Before they could stop the machine it started to shoot out soccer balls towards the net. "Lookout Stephanie" Pixel yelled as he tried to flip the switch. The ball was heading right for her and before Sportacus could reach the ball it bounced right off of the back of her head.
"Ouch" cried Stephanie as she fell to her knees. The second ball was heading her way and Sportacus was able to leap across the net and reflect the ball off his head. He landed in a heap with his head landing in Stephanies lap. Stephanie looked down at Sportacus and he saw the look in her eyes.One of fear, embarrassment and love. He quickly jumped up and took her hand. She rose a little unsteady on her feet and went to pick up her papers. Sportacus being the gentleman as always went down to retrieve her papers for her. Stephanie quickly snatched the papers up and smiled at Sportacus. Sportacus gave Stephanie a confused look and decided to play soccer with the guys.
Stephanie could hear Trixie snorting in the background. Stephanie turned and gave her a dirty look and decided to go home. Stephanie told Trixie not to follow her. Sportacus overheard their conversation and couldnt believe Stephanie would have spoken to Trixie that way. Sportacus was just about to follow when the guys kicked the ball to him. Pixel yelled at Sportacus "don't worry about her, its just her homework assignment". Sportacus was going to ask him what that meant when he got beaned again with the soccer ball.
Stephanie just shook her head and walked home. Stephanie sighed as she opened the front door of the house. She smiled at her Uncle and headed up stairs to her room. As she sat down to write the next chapter she didnt have to think about words for the letter "B". For this day B stands for "Boo,Balls and Boys!"
