Rated M just in case.

It had been 10 year since his arrival in LazyTown but it seemed to have passed in no time. Sportacus had risen earlier than usual that morning, he was eager for the day to get underway. He had woken with his usual morning exercises and now was observing the town below him, waiting. He was wearing his best superhero clothes and was looking forward to the days events.

It was Stephanie's 18th birthday, after the first two summers at LazyTown her parents had let her stay in LazyTown permanently. They thought see seemed happier at LazyTown and it would do her good.

Sportacus was gazing out the window looking for any sign of movement in Stephanie's room but the curtains were still closed. As he looked out he was thinking. After 10 years Sportacus had decided this was the day he was going to confess his true feelings towards Stephanie. Ever since he had met the charismatic little girl he knew he had felt something more than friendship towards her, but he knew if he wanted to do something about it, it would have to wait. He didn't want to be considered a pervert, or worse in the town he loved so much, so he had done his best to hide his feelings since. Sportacus had thought about telling Stephanie when she turned 16 but was still worried she wouldn't understand so he had waited 2 more years just in case, it wasn't like he couldn't see her.

So, Sportacus had decided he would tell Stephanie that night after the day events.

Sportacus, coming back to his senses, looked down into town and saw movement in the Meanswell household, Stephanie was pulling back her curtains and was dressed in her best pink dress which seemed to have stayed the same distance from her leg to her bottom over the past 10 years but now she had grown her hair so it was halfway down her back. She wasn't the sweet little girl that had first set foot in the town but was now a young woman who had grown to almost the same height as Sportacus.

Sportacus, wanting to be the first to wish Stephanie Happy Birthday, backflipped towards his door and decided bungee-jumping down was the quickest.

Sportacus straightened his goggle as he landed outside Stephanie's door and knocked.

"Happy Birthday, Stephanie!" Sportacus cheered as he saw who it was and outstretched his arms to give Stephanie a hug.

"Hey, Sportacus!" said Stephanie happily with a cheeky grin and ran out to hug him. Sportacus closed his eyes and breathed in the smell of her hair, the smell always reminded him of strawberries, which were one of his favourite fruits. He had hugged Stephanie many tie but this was the closest he had ever got to her. They broke out of their embrace.

"So, what do you want to do today?" Sportacus asked automatically, kicking himself in his mind.

"Well," said Stephanie, not noticing anything, "Uncle Milford is asking everyone to meet at the podium so I guess we could go there."

"Great!" cheered Sportacus, "let's go."

The next few hours passed in what seemed like five minutes, it was so enjoyable and everyone had done their hardest to make Stephanie's birthday perfect.

Bessie had given a long speech about the times since Stephanie had arrived at LazyTown, with the aid of embarrassing photos of everyone.

Mayor Meanswell had managed to bake a massive cake without burning. On which had the faced of everyone as the icing and with a big number 18 in the middle.

Ziggy who had barely changed over the 10 years apart from his height had managed to carve Stephanie dancing out of a massive piece of taffy.

Pixel had invented a dance machine for Stephanie to practice all her moves on and included all the songs they had ever sung in LazyTown.

Stingy and Trixie who were now an 'item' had banded together to produce a bizarre assortment of tricks that Trixie had played on them over the years and Stingy had agreed to 'loan' back all the things he had claimed as his, until he changed his mind and Trixie had to wrestle the present off him.

Even Robbie had decided to turn up and present Stephanie with a 'good' and non-barking robo-dog.

The day had gone perfectly without a hitch, everyone had headed off home except Sportacus who had hung back to help Stephanie carry all her presents home. He had been going through what he was going to say over and over I his head.

"Erm… Stephanie…" said Sportacus shyly outside the door of Stephanie house, "can I talk to you?"

"Sure what is it?" replied Stephanie happily.

"Erm… I… er… you know…" Sportacus stuttered, "erm, after 10 years, you know… you've never been up to see my airship." Said Sportacus quickly kicking himself again," just do it!" he thought to himself.

"No, I haven't come to think of it," said Stephanie thoughtfully, "just let me tell Uncle Milford where I'm going then I'll come have a look now," she said, but he's probably to Busy with Bessie to care at the moment."

Oh…, OK," Sportacus said stunned.

"Wait here, I'll be right back."

Stephanie hurried off and was back in two minutes. This gave Sportacus time to compose himself.

"Ready?"

"Ready!"

"OK, ladder!" Sportacus shouted reaching out an are in his usual way, here we go."

"Wow, it's amazing up here," said an awestruck Stephanie as she reached the pristine airship, "and the pads open up different things?"

"Yeah, it's quite a good way to store things," said Sportacus unable to think of else to say and feeling incredibly stupid.

"So where do you get changed and have a shower?

"Um, it's behind there," he pointed behind his bed, "and my closets there," pointing next to the door.

"Ahh, I see."

"Stephanie… he interrupted, he paused nervously. "I Love You."
