With all of you walking out the door, Stephanie didn't know what the other kids look like. Were they nice? She thought to herself as she skipper ahead. You were walking side by side with Sportacus.

"Thank you.." you spoke. Sportacus looked over at you.

"You needed sleep." this was true, you were a wreck, but you just hope you made the right decision to do this.

"Who was that man?" Sportacus recalled the event that happened. He was a bit surprised that you didn't remember him. Yet things weren't the same..on that day.

"An old friend." he spoke. Hearing the sounds of laughing children. Stephanie shouted.

"Mommy can I play with them?"

"Of course sweetie. Mommy will be over by that bench." you pointed to location of the bench. Stephanie took noted and ran to the middle of the jungle gym. Hardly any adults, but lots of children. This is what Stephanie needed. You sat down on the bench, while looking up at Sportacus. "Exactly what you do?"

"I save people, I'm sort of a slightly average above hero." you only softly giggle to yourself.

"Well go do your business. I'll give this town a try." that's all he wanted to hear. Sportacus said his goodbyes and ran off. You watched your daughter interact with the other children, but you notice this other girl, she was all alone, dress in purple, her hair in two pigtails on the side. You noticed Stephanie walking up to her, she reached her hand out as the other girl looked up. You notice someone was sitting besides you, crossing your legs over, he began to speak.

"That's your daughter I met yesterday, Stephanie was it?" you only nodded. He watched her, until he saw the other girl take her hand and went off to play. "I never seen her so full of life." you looked at them, than back to him.

"Is she your daughter?"

"Indeed, Ella's my special little girl." you smiled softly.

"She's taking a liking to Stephanie."

"Ella's was never a social girl, since her mother passed away when she was only 4, it was hard to get her back the way she was. She reminds me of your daughter a bit." Robbie spoke, you were sadden to hear this.

"I'm sorry." Robbie looked at you. "A few days ago, I lost my husband. She's taking it well, but.."you almost felt a tear down your face. Robbie stopped you taking your hand and squeezing it.

"I know what you're going through, but I reminded myself while I live." he looked back at Ella. "She looks so much like her mother, it's best to know the good things that come, rather than letting the bad eat inside you." for once Robbie was right, the pain was there yet. You looked at Stephanie, you had to be there for her. She needs a mother more than anything.

"Thank you, Robbie." he only nodded. Looking back, he saw the girls running up to them.

"Mommy look I made a friend, hers names Ella. She loves to dance, just like me." seeing her smile, warm your heart. Robbie looked at his daughter,

"Ella?" he asked. She looked up at him and smiled.

"Yes father?"

"Who's your friend?" he asked. He already knew, but he wanted her to say it. Fiddling with her fingers while looking over at her new friend. Stephanie took her hand,

"This is Stephanie...can..well..if you don't mind..me asking.." he saw she was nervous, who couldn't blame him. You saw the look Robbie was giving her,

"Go on."

"Can..Stephanie come over..for..a..sleepover...please.." Robbie only smiled at her, while patting her head.

"Well what do to you say _________. Is she allowed." you uncrowded your legs and looked over at Stephanie, she gave your her puppy dog eyes. You looked over at him.

"Alright. I'll allow it." the girls cheered as Stephanie hugged you.

"Thank you Mommy. Come on Ella let's go play." she nodded as she took her hand and ran off to play. You only softly sigh.

"She needs a distraction."

"Her or you?" you bit your lip looking away at him.

"Do you trust me, Robbie?"

"Of course."

"Than don't ask." you said bitter, but then again he did went too far.

"________..." he thought about showing it to you, but..you only looked at him while taking his hand. He saw it and slightly blush a little.

"Robbie..I want...to be your friend..if you don't mind.." now you were being nervous.

"I would like that very much." before you could say anything you heard flips coming your way. Robbie went to his daughter, leaving you alone. Sportacus stopped him,

"Robbie let's talk." Robbie only frown, walking away. You only watched your daughter play with the other children.

"Looks Sportacus I'm onto something. Is that..her?" Sportacus only nodded.

"You don't remember do you?" Robbie only remembered a few things, but the rest of it was blurry.

"If it is her, than why doesn't she remembered me. What ever happened with us?" Sportacus only sigh to himself.

"Even if I told you, she won't go back. _______ is already feeling upset over the last of our old friend."

"Wait so ________ marry..and had..wow..."

"We were all so close..that day Robbie..you made a mistake, causing me to erase her memories." Robbie couldn't believe what the elf was saying.

"Did...'it' happened..did i..hurt her..." he only nodded.

"I'm sorry Robbie. I know how you felt about her, we all miss the people we love..you still have Ella. Even ________ has Stephanie." Sportacus stopped himself, Robbie only spoke,

"Yet you had it worst. Sportaflop.." he only sigh to himself. "We can still have that, can't we? Just like old times?" Sportacus didn't know.

"I want that as well, but right now.." he looked over you, Robbie looked at way. "She's grieving, so whatever you're thinking of, give her time."

"I know.."
