Pausing outside Stephanie's bedroom door, Sportacus took a moment to compose himself before entering. The sight he was met with made his breath catch in his throat.
Stephanie had never looked more beautiful. Her hair surrounded her like a pink halo, framing her sweet face. Long, dark lashes rested against the tops of pale cheeks kissed by the summer sun.
Without realizing he was moving, Sportacus found himself kneeling at her side, pulled by some invisible force. Something deep inside him quivered, and he felt his connection with Stephanie flare brighter than ever before. His elven skin could feel the unfamiliar tingle of magic heavy in the air, though his brain barely registered it.
He continued to gaze upon her for a little while longer, trying to commit every detail of this moment to memory, before slowly pressing a kiss against her petal soft lips. Had his eyes not drifted shut, he would have seen the magnificent golden glow that surrounded them before slowly fading away.
Sportacus hovered over her with bated breath as Stephanie slowly began to stir. Her eyes fluttered open, and when she saw him the corners of her mouth turned up in a small smile.
"I knew it would be you," she whispered softly before throwing her arms around him.
He clutched her to him probably a little harder than he should, fierce joy spilling over and making him feel lighter than air. He breathed in the sweet scent of her hair, simply holding her for a minute, before he could stand it no longer and sought out her mouth once more with his, delighting in feeling her respond.
They stayed in the haven of her room as long as they dared, trading kisses and smiles, until Sportacus eventually took her hand in his and lead her downstairs to where her uncle and parents were waiting.
Half an hour later Stephanie found herself sitting with her family in the kitchen, enjoying a lunch made up of her favorite breakfast foods. Sportacus had slipped away, claiming he had something to take care of before her party that night.
Maria eyed her daughter critically for a moment before saying, "'Just a crush,' huh?"; grinning when Stephanie blushed the same color as the strawberries she was spooning onto her pancakes.
**********
Up in his airship, Sportacus set aside the new pink tennis equipment he'd been planning to give Stephanie for her birthday. He could give it to her later. In light of recent events he felt a more special present was in order. Something more romantic, perhaps?
Looking out over the town his eyes fell on LazyTown's only jewelry shop. It was far too soon to be thinking about rings (even though he was sure that was the direction their relationship would be going), but he still wanted to get her something special.
He managed to get there before the shop closed, and after browsing through the many glass cases, eventually settled upon a gold charm bracelet. He took his time picking out each individual charm, and eventually settled upon a tiny ballet slipper for her love of dancing, a baseball (The sport she'd taught him to play.), an apple (Her favorite sports candy.), a tiny diary, and a gold heart with the number sixteen etched into it.

That evening, Harald pushed his way through the small crowd of people to where his wife was sitting. The party was outside in the park, and lights had been strung up in the trees to keep visibility up as the sun went down. Tables were set up, overflowing with food, and balloons were tied to every available surface. Smaller children were busy playing on the playground equipment nearby while some of the older kids had started a pick-up game of basketball. Everyone else was busy dancing to Stephanie's favorite music which was being mixed and played by her friend Trixie. Stephanie, herself, had been dancing joyfully most of the night, her pink party dress whirling around her and her new charm bracelet sparkling at her wrist. Sportacus was never far from her side, and the two of them seemed to be in their own little happy world.
"It's very different than the sort of party she'd be having if she'd grown up as a princess," Harald sighed, thinking of the grand balls his parents used to throw.
Maria smiled. "You and I both know that Stephanie would prefer this sort of party, no matter where she'd grown up. Besides, everything happens for a reason. If she'd grown up back home, she may never have crossed paths with Sportacus."
"Should we tell them about the prophecy of the elf marrying the crown?"
"Not now," his wife said firmly. "They aren't married yet and won't be for some time. Besides, Stephanie's heard the story many times growing up. She'll put it together eventually."
She reached out and took Harald's hand in hers. The two smiled together as Sportacus swooped Stephanie up in his arms and twirled her around, her delighted laughter echoing through the park.
"We have time."
