Dangerous Woman

Chapter 3 - You Don't Know Me

The next day, Melanie was ready to start a fresh new beginning in LazyTown with her daughter. She felt great, she's now friends with Sportacus – which reminded her she wants to ask him for something later today. But right now she enjoyed her morning coffee with her morning paper next to the counter. She wore a short, white skirt with the pattern of neon pink and yellow flowers, and a matching crop-top.

"Good morning, mommy!" Stephanie jumped down the stairs, also ready to start the day.

"Good morning, angel!" Melanie said as Stephanie joined her and had her breakfast.

"So, any plans for today?" Stephanie asked her mom with a mouth full of food that made Melanie laugh.

"Well, first, I actually planned on hanging some pictures on the wall in the living room. You can take a look, I put the picture on the coffee table," Melanie said and was surprised by the speed that Stephanie jumped off the stool and rushed to the coffee table. There were 5 pictures, all includes just her and her mother.

"Hey, this is us!" Stephanie exclaimed. She then looked carefully at a certain picture. There was baby Stephanie, in a little, cute, pink dress and a crown of flowers on her head, and Melanie was holding her.

"Hey, when this was taken?" she asked her mother and handed her the framed picture.

"Oh, that was on your first birthday in Italy! Like every day I brought you with me to class, except that this time my classmates decided to celebrate your first birthday all day long! I mean, you had your first cake ever in my acting class," Melanie laughed and smiled at the memory.

"Well, now the picture of me covered in frosting looks more familiar," Stephanie laughed and continue to eat her breakfast.

"Well, how about after you're done hanging the pictures, we'll go look for Sportacus and the rest of my friends and play something?" Stephanie asked.

"Sure. I'm not going to play, but I'll join you," Melanie smiled at her daughter and continued reading the paper.

"Hey, guys!" Stephanie rushed to the park, to find her friends playing.

"Hi, Stephanie!" they greeted her back. Not long after, Melanie joined her. She was on heels, after all, so she couldn't run after her daughter.

"Hello, everyone!" she said and the little boys already drool on her.

Sportacus and the girls couldn't help it but laugh at them.

"So, what are we going to play? Huh, guys?" Trixie asked the daydreaming boys.

"Huh? Oh, um... How about dodgeball?" Pixel suggested, as he was the first to come back to reality. The rest nodded and went to play as Melanie took her seat on the nearby bench. She smiled the whole game because of Stephanie. She was happy that her daughter was happy. Once the game was over and the kids went on a break to drink some water and have some sportscandies, Melanie approached to Sportacus, taking him away from the kids.

"Ms. Meanswell, is everything ok?" he asked.

"Please, call me Melanie. And I was wondering if I could ask you something," she told him.

"Sure, what is it?" he asked.

"Yeah, if you can make sure that Robbie isn't coming anywhere near my daughter, that'd be great," she told him and put her thumbs up.

"Well, that's pretty much what I'm doing, but-" he said.

"No. No, you're saving her after she gets into troubles caused by him. And not that it isn't good, but if you will prevent from that to happen that would be even better!" she told him a little nervously.
