To Start Anew
As Bloom walked through Alfea's hallways she was deep in thought. With the destruction of Valtor, Bloom had finally proven that she was ready to save her birth parents but Bloom had her doubts. What if she wasn't powerful enough, what if she failed, what if her friends got hurt or worse killed.
"Even though they had offered to help," Bloom whispered, "I should still talk to them about everything. They'll be putting themselves in danger and there's no guarantee that we'll be successful. If we fail…"
Bloom turned around with the intent to find her friends. As she turned a corner Bloom came to a sudden stop. Stopping herself from running into the person that stood in front of her.
"Oh hey!" Bloom said in surprise, "I was looking for you…well you and the everyone else."
Bloom looked down at the floor and shuffled her feet and explained, "I wanted to talk about Domino and my parents. You all are taking a huge risk. If something goes wrong we could all…" Bloom paused then shook her head. "I don't want any of you to feel that you have to do this. Its perfectly fine if you don't want to come. There's so much that could go wrong and I don't think I could forgive myself if something happened to any of you."
Bloom gasped as she was pulled forward into a hug. At first Bloom was surprised by the action but slowly she relaxed and felt tears start to form at the corner of her eyes.
'I really am lucky,' Bloom thought. 'To have so many people that care about me…'
Bloom started to pull away from the hug only to find herself tugged back into the embrace.
"Hey, what's up?" Bloom asked in concern as the arms that held her tightened uncomfortably around her. As Bloom was suddenly pushed away she felt a burst of pain from her abdomen. It was excruciating, Bloom had never felt pain like this before.
As Bloom stumble back from the push and the pain her hand went to her abdomen and she felt something wet. Bringing her hand up to her face Bloom saw that her hand was covered in blood.
"What!?" Bloom asked in disbelief.
Bloom turned to the person standing in front of her and asked, "why?!"
A dagger glinted in the light as the person holding the weapon pointed it at Bloom, "its all your fault! Everything is your fault, if only you had never existed… if only you would disappear!"
As Bloom listened in shock her vision began to blur.
'Poison?" Bloom thought as she became dizzy.
"Please just disappear!" was shouted out as the person lounged at Bloom while swinging their dagger.
"No!" Bloom cried out as she sat up in her bed. Choking back sobs Bloom felt the wetness of tears on her face and a cold sweat on her skin. Looking around at her familiar surrounding Bloom realized this was her room, the room she had on earth with her parents. Bloom tried to calm down but found herself covering her mouth, as she felt sick.
Jumping out of bed Bloom ran to the bathroom not bothering to close the door and knelt before the toilet and threw up.
As Bloom sobbed and hacked up everything she had eaten, she heard a voice call out.
"Bloom?!" A feminine asked, "is everything alright? Kiko is acting weird."
Bloom sobbed some more as she heard the voice yell out in shock, "Bloom what happened?!"
Lifting her head from the toilet Bloom saw her mother in the doorway looking at her in worry.
In between sobs Bloom cried out, "I died! I was killed!"
Turning back to the toilet Bloom threw up again.
"Oh Bloom," Vanessa worriedly said.
Bloom felt a warm hand gently rubbed circles on her back and Bloom sobs started to quite down.
"I died…" Bloom whispered, "I was killed."
"No, no you weren't!" Vanessa reasoned, "it was just a bad dream. You're alright. Your alive, it was a dream."
"What's going on?" a tired voice asked.
"Oh geez, what on earth happened!?" The same voice asked in panic, "is Bloom alright?!"
"Sh… really Mike?" Vanessa asked.
As Bloom leaned over the toilet the sound of her parents voices grew distant and her eyes felt so heavy. Things began to blur but she felt the arms of her parents gently lead her back to bed and tuck her in and the gentle hum of her mothers voice telling her that everything was all right.
As Bloom felt something cool and wet being placed on her forehead she opened her eyes and stared up at her mothers worried face.
"How are you feeling?" Vanessa asked her daughter in concern.
"Tired…thirsty," Bloom rasped out.
Vanessa reached for the end table by Bloom's bed and picked up a glass of water with a straw in it.
"Drink slowly," Vanessa advised as she held the glass to Bloom.
Bloom sat up and took the glass from her mother and sipped from the straw, feeling rejuvenated by the water. Letting out a contented sigh Bloom handed the glass back to her mother and tried to get up but was stopped by her.
"That's all right Bloom, you can stay home today and rest," Vanessa said.
"Stay home?" Bloom confusingly asked.
"Yes, from school." Vanessa explained, "You were so sick yesterday I think it would be for the best."
"School but I…" Bloom began to say, "but stopped." Bloom then remember, a dagger, being attacked, she had died. Bloom then felt tears start to form at the corner of her eyes.
"I died," Bloom said.
"Oh no honey you didn't die," Vanessa stated. "You just had a really bad nightmare while you were sick."
"No mom you don't understand." Bloom explained, "after defeating Valtor everybody returned to Alfea to celebrate and I was killed. I can't believe they killed me!"
"Wait a second bloom." Vanessa asked, "Valtor, Alfea… what are you talking about?"
"Well I don't think you've heard of Valtor before but Mom you know Alfea," Bloom said as she reminded her mother, "the fairy school in the Magix Dimension."
"Have you been reading those fantasy books about fairies again?" Vanessa asked Bloom, "Bloom you go to high school in Gardenia. You only have about a month left before summer vacation."
"Wait! What?" Bloom asked.
"Anyway, I think you just need some more rest," Vanessa said as she gently pushed Bloom back down and pulled up Blooms covers tucking her in. "I'll come back in a bit with something to eat."
Getting up Vanessa left Blooms room leaving Bloom to stare confusingly after her.
"What in the world?" Bloom questioned.
Bloom flung off her covers and jump out of bed. She stumbled as she stood, her legs feeling weak. After steading herself Bloom walked over to her door but paused as she noticed the calendar on her wall.
"Wait, that can't be right?" Bloom muttered. "That's not right!"
Turning to her desk Bloom picked up her cell phone and turned it on. Checking the date Bloom broke out in a cold sweat. Going over to her computer Bloom turned it on and checked the date…
"This cant…" Bloom said in horror as she backed away from her computer. Leaving her room in a hurry, Bloom ran down the stairs and turned on the television, turning to the local news station.
A voice from the kitchen called out, "Bloom is that you?"
Rushing into the kitchen Bloom found her mother cooking something on the stove while her father sat at the kitchen table, a cup of coffee in one hand and the news paper in the other.
"Mom," Bloom said, "the date!"
"The date?" Mike asked, "what's wrong with the date?"
"Bloom is everything okay?" Vanessa asked as she walked over to Bloom.
"What's today's date!?" Bloom asked.
"May 29 2006," Vanessa answered.
"This cant be!?" Bloom cried out.
"What is it?" Mike asked.
"I don't know how," Bloom explained, "but I've gone back in time!"
"Back in time?" Vanessa asked.
"Wow that must have been some fever dream you had," Mike said with a laugh.
"Mike!" Vanessa said.
"What?" Mike asked
"You don't get it!" Bloom cried out, "it really happened!"
"Okay okay, in that case why don't you explain what happened." Mike said, "and if you happen to remember the lottery numbers for this week…"
"Mike!" Vanessa scowled.
"What?" Mike asked.
"Well I died," Bloom tried to explain.
"Bloom you didn't die," Vanessa said in frustration.
"I mean in your dream what happened before that?" Mike asked.
"You mean from the beginning?" Bloom asked.
"Yeah," Mike said. "You said that you've been sent back in time, right?"
Bloom thought about it and began, "well in my dream in about a months time I met Stella…"
"Stella," Mike asked.
"Yes the princess of Solaria and a fairy," Bloom explained.
While bloom continued to talk Vanessa place a plate of eggs and toast in front of Bloom.
"Thanks mom," Bloom said as she took a bite of toast.
"Your welcome," Vanessa responded.
"And that's what happened," Bloom explained, "or I guess what is going to happen."
"So in your dream you were a fairy," Mike stated as he picked up his cup of coffee.
"It wasn't a dream," Bloom stated
"And the princess of Domino," Mike said.
"Yes," Bloom said.
"And you died?" Mike asked as he took a sip of coffee.
"Yes," Bloom answered.
"Mike," Vanessa said in warning.
"I thought you defeated Voltron or who ever it was." Mike asked, "how did you die?"
"It was Valor and I…" Bloom began then paused and thought, 'how did she die…'
"After we had defeated Valtor we returned to Alfea. Headmistress Faragonda wanted to talk to me. She felt that I was finally ready to try and save Domino my home planet…" Bloom paused for a second and continued, "after talking to her I was unsure about dragging my friends into everything."
"I was worried. What if they got hurt, what if something even worse happened to them. I didn't want them to feel pressured into helping me," Bloom admitted, "so I was going to talk to them about Domino and everything."
"While I was going to talk to them I almost ran into someone and we talked or at least I talked," Bloom explained. "They stabbed me and then started to yell something…"
"Was it someone you knew," Mike asked.
"I can't remember," Bloom admitted.
"Wow, that was some story," Mike said. "You might want to write that down sometime. It would make an incredible story."
"It really happened," Bloom cried out.
"Really?" Mike asked.
"Yes, really." Bloom then asked, "you don't believe me?"
"Bloom all we know is that you were very sick and you seemed to have had an incredible dream…" Mike stated.
"I'll prove it was true!" Bloom stated.
"How?" both Mike and Vanessa asked.
"Um, well…" Bloom said unsurely. "I'll use magic!"
"Magic?" Both Mike and Vanessa cried out.
"That's right," Bloom said as she looked at the plate in front of her. Concentrating Bloom tried to bring forth the warm feeling of her magic and nothing happened.
"Well then… maybe," Bloom said as she pointed at the vase of flowers on the table.
Once again nothing happened.
"What about," Bloom said as she tried to cast a simple spell to turn her hair blue.
Looking at the floor in disappointment Bloom felt tears run down her face and whispered, "I can't use magic."
"Oh Bloom…" Vanessa said as she walked over to her daughter and hugged her, "it was just a dream."
"A pretty amazing dream," Mike said as he got up from the table.
As Vanessa let go of Bloom, Mike patted Bloom on the shoulder and said, "how about I give you a lift to school."
"Yeah," Bloom said as she wiped her nose with her sleeve.
"I don't know Mike," Vanessa said, "I think it would be better if Bloom stayed home and got some rest."
"Well, what do you think Bloom?" Mike asked, "would you like to go to school or stay at home?"
"I think Id prefer to go to school," Bloom admitted.
"All right, then hurry up and get ready," Mike said.
Bloom turned and left the room taking her time to go up the stairs and to her room. Opening her door and closing it behind her Bloom started to change her clothes.
Brushing out her hair Bloom headed to her desk and placed her brush down. Picking up her backpack she started to shove everything she needed for the day in the bag.
Sighing Bloom headed for her door. Out of the corner of her eye she saw her dying potted plant. Walking over to it Bloom gently touched one of the browning leaves.
"Whoops, guess I forgot to water you," Bloom muttered as she stared at the plant.
"It couldn't have been a dream," Bloom muttered. Letting go of the leaf Bloom placed her hands over the plant and concentrated on a spell Flora had taught her. Bloom felt a warm sensation from her hands.
As the warmth disappeared from her hands Bloom stared at the plant. Nothing had change the plant was still as brown as ever.
Frowning Bloom turned and left her room closing the door behind her. Heading to the living Bloom met up with her dad.
"You ready?" Mike asked.
"Yep," Bloom answered.
"Bloom," Vanessa called out. Vanessa walked over to her daughter as she carried Kiko in her arms. "If you start to feel sick, even if it's just a little bit. Call your father or I and we'll come pick you up."
"Okay," Bloom answered as she reached out and patted Kiko on the head.
"Bye mom," Bloom said as she headed out the door with her dad, "I'll see you later."
"Bye dear," Mike called out as he headed towards the car.
As Bloom and Mike got in the car and drove away the plant in Bloom's room shone with an orange light. As the light faded the leaves turned green and a series of white flowers bloomed.
