Staring down at the gravestone, his name was carve into it. Your late husband passed away from an illness that you couldn't describe. It was too much for you to handle. Holding your daughter's hand, giving it a small squeeze, you knew she was upset. Tears were streaming down your face, as the wind was blowing. You just couldn't believe that he was gone, it wasn't fair. You heard footsteps, you knew who it was. You felt the hand on your shoulder, you tried to keep it inside of you.

"You came.." you spoke softly.

"I heard what happened, ____________. I'm so sorry." you felt your daughter move, you too looked back. She clinged onto your leg, frighten by the taller man, you only looked down at her.

"Don't be afraid Stephanie. This is Sportacus a very dear friend of mine." Stephanie looked up at the man, slightly moving in close to your leg. Sportacus kneeled down to her level, offering his hand out.

"Hello." Sportacus showed her, his smile, causing her to move close to him. Letting go of your hand, she moved her hands to his face. Touching his cheeks as Sportacus dropped his hand. Looking closely at him, she spoke,

"Are you an elf?" this caused him to chuckle, letting go of his magic, his ears began to show. Stephanies eyes widen, causing her to show her excitement side. You only watched, it was true, he was an elf.

"Indeed, but you must keep it a secret okay?" she only nodded at him. Giving him a smile, he brought himself up to your level. Taking your hand, you felt the tears running down your face. "I know it hurts, but I promise I will take care of you and your daughter." Stephanie looked at you with confusion,

"Is that why we pack?" you only nodded at her.

"Yes, Stephanie we will be living with Sportacus in Lazytown. Start a new life." She only listened to her mother. Stephanie took your hand once more, squeezing it.

"I miss him."

"Me too, sweetie." Staying there a bit longer, the wind was slowing down as the dark clouds were coming this way. The rain began to fall, it was time to leave. Sportacus motion you to follow him, you did. Bringing the umbrella out, hovering over you and Stephanie. She only looked up at you,

"Can we visit him?"

"Anytime you want." it was painful to admit it. Being brave without having your emotions run amuck. Silently as you were, Sportacus has already moved the stuff into his car from the rental that was going to be picked up later by someone else. Helping you get into his car, he buckled you up. Seeing the sadness in your eyes, he tried to make you feel better.

"_________, I'm always here for you, if you ever want to talk." you only nodded at him. Closing the car door, he opened the other one, placing Stephanie inside. Making sure she was buckled up, he shut the door. You waited for him to get inside, once he did he turned the car on and began driving. It was quiet trip, you can hear Sportacus and Stephanie talking,

"So how old are you, Stephanie?"

"Only 8 years old."

"Favorite color?"

"Pink..like..daddy.." she stopped herself. It was true, your daughter got her father's hair, while she got your eyes. His personally and your love of dancing.

"Stephanie, I know what you're feeling, it's alright to let it out. We've all been there." looking over at him, his eyes focus on the driving, rain was falling down as the windshield wipers swish from side to side.

"I'm sorry." Sportacus looked at you with the corner of his eye.

"Right now, my focus is on you. A new home, a new day, and a new life. You can stay as long as you want. Lazytown is a peaceful down, and plenty of children for Stephanie to play with." You bit your lip for a little, before playing with the fabric underneath your fingertips.

"Thank you." you saw him smiling at you.

"Anything for you." seeing the sign that says 'Welcome to Lazytown', you didn't know what to expect from this.
