Jealousy

Chapter 6

The big day was coming – THE PRESIDENT IS COMING TO TOWN!

Everyone were getting dressed for the visit, and Maddie, along with her dress which already put on the dresser chair the night before, found a mysterious box on her dresser.

"Huh, what's that?" she asked herself, still half-asleep. She opened the box and found a beautiful necklace with diamonds, colored in different shades of blue, and it matched her dress perfectly. Then it hit her – that's what her dad was doing the jewelry store! She quickly got dressed, did her make-up and then put on the necklace. She felt like princess! Well, almost. She still needed a tiara, she laughed. Then she came out of the room to meet her father and her little cousin.

"So, daddy – what do you think?" she swirled with her dress.

"Oh, my! You look so beautiful! Especially your necklace," he said and she laughed.

"Thank you, daddy, I love it," she told him and hugged him and he hugged her back. Stephanie had to admit as well, she looked beautiful. She would even tell her that out loud if she wasn't going to get more compliments from Sportacus later.

The mayor, Bessie, Maddie and Stephanie were the last ones to arrive to the party at the town hall. Sportacus was already there, and his jaw reached the floor once he saw his girlfriend look so beautiful in that dress. Not that she didn't look beautiful in her everyday look, but she never really got to wear things like that, so she just looked... stunning. Suddenly, he felt familiar tingles. They were the same nice tingles he felt when they first met.

Flashback

It was two days after Stephanie left the town, and one week before school starts again. The kids were really bummed, but with Sportacus still being around, he managed to get them up and move.

It was then when a taxi cab stopped right at the entrance of the town, and a girl with pink shorts and bright yellow sweater. The driver gave her the suitcases and went on his way. Sportacus fell in love immediately, unlike her. He didn't realize he was staring at her until she came up to him. "Excuse me?" she said, "May I help you?" she asked and tilted her head.

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stare..." he apologized.

"Apology accepted. Anything else?" she asked.

"Uh, no, no. Um, I'm Sportacus, I'm LazyTown's slightly-above-average hero. Maybe do you need help with you bags?" he suggested.

"Uh, sure, I would like that," she said and she took her backpack and guitar while he helped her with her two other bags.

"Here, it's not that far," she said when he realized they were going to the mayor's house. He was about to ask her if she was another niece of the mayor, when she knocked on the door and Milford opened it.

"Ah, Maddie! You're back!!" he exclaimed and the two hugged.

"Ah, Sportacus, I see that you already met my daughter, Maddie," he told the hero. Sportacus looked at her carefully.

"You're his daughter?" he asked and she nodded.

"Then yes, I helped your daughter with the bags," he said and put her bags down.

"Please, call me Maddie. By the way, thanks," she smiled at him and took her bags to her room.

"Hi..." she shyly said when she came in front of him, snapping him back to reality.

"Hi... Wow, you look just... Amazing!" he told her and she swirled again.
