Sportacus waited with baited breath closing his eyes, thinking whether he had done the right thing or not. When he opened his eyes he saw a flash of pink and then felt Stephanie's lips pressed against his, she pulled away just long enough to say, "You have no idea how long I have waited for you to say that," she fell back into Sportacus' embrace kissing his neck and face. She went back to kissing his lips, using her lips to part his, "I love you too," she whispered into his mouth, "I have done since the day I met you."

Sportacus who had remained motionless for a few recovered himself as he realised what was actually going on, he whispered, "Me too," quivering with Stephanie's kisses. He responded her every movement, their breathing in unison.

After a while Sportacus stopped kissing Stephanie.

"What's wrong?" asked Stephanie.

"Aren't I too old for you?"

"What makes you make you think that? You're the one that said YOU loved ME a few minute ago. Anyway, with that amount of healthy food you eat and a body like that." She tailed off running a hand down Sportacus' chest towards his belt.

Sportacus couldn't control himself, he felt himself go hard.

"Sorry," he said meekly.

Stephanie looked thoughtful more than upset, and a cheeky grin spread across her face.

"You know what…?" Stephanie said confidently.

"Erm, what?" Sportacus replied trying to gather himself together.

"You didn't give me a birthday present," said Stephanie grinning.

"Oh yeah,… I'm really sorry," and this was true, Sportacus had genuinely forgotten but this appeared to go unnoticed by Stephanie who began pushing Sportacus gently over towards the bed.

"Well we're going to have to do something about that then aren't we?"

"Ah," replied Sportacus a smile slowly spreading across after finally understanding what Stephanie was thinking.

Stephanie leant forward and kissed Sportacus with so much force they fell back onto Sportacus' bed.

Still locked in their intense kiss Stephanie snaked her hands across Sportacus' front and undid his jacket.

"I didn't know it did that," exclaimed Sportacus breaking out their lock.

"Really?" said Stephanie curiously, "I thought it was kinda obvious." Sportacus grinned stupidly.

Suddenly there was a whooshing sound coming from the centre of the ship, Stephanie rolled off Sportacus.

"What's that?"

"I've got mail!" said a surprised Sportacus, "At this time?" he leapt out of bed an caught the roll just before it hit the floor. He pulled out the letter and read it.

"It's for you, your Uncle's wondering where you are. "Said Sportacus, slightly annoyed at what he might have been doing if they hadn't been interrupted.

"I'll sort it out," replied Stephanie, just as annoyed as Sportacus, "Do you have any paper?"

"Yeah sure," Sportacus bent down to retrieve his jacket which was now lying on the floor and pulled out a blue piece of paper and a pencil and handed it to Stephanie.

"I'll tell him I'm sleeping over here you're taking care of me," she smiled and handed him the letter and pencil.

"Well I am taking care of you, but I doubt you'll be doing much sleeping."

Stephanie smiled. "How do you send them?" she pointed at the letter, "I've always wondered."

"Like this," Sportacus folded the letter, got out his bowling bowl, slipped the letter in the slot, "In you go," he backflipped and sent the bowling ball on it's way, "and out you go."

"Wow, that was… wow," said a stunned Stephanie. "Now where were we?"
