Bloom layed next to Sky, this time at Red Fountian instead of Alfea. That day, her and the girls had decided to stay with their husbands at Red fountain since they almost always all stayed at Alfea. Sky and Bloom, along with Nabu, Layla, Stella, and Brandon had agreed to teach at the Magix school's for a couple of years while their own children made their way through the ranks of their old schools, leaving their royal affairs to the old kings and queens of their planets. The other's had already been teaching at the school's and if they hadn't, mainly just Timmy and Tecna, they had gone with the same strategy as the others, leaving there work to close friends while following their closest friends lead and following their own children.

They all layed in the beds they gave each other when they first got the teacher dorms they were now in, each taking a different room in the joint apartment.

Bloom layed in Sky's arms, her head gently resting on his chest with his arm wrapped around her like every night, but this night was different, leading towards the same ending the last few nights had taken. The same dream that had forced her to wake up either screaming or breathing heavily was starting again. No matter how times she tryed it had kept coming back, but it wasn't like a normal nightmare. It was more... real. It reminded her more of the dreams she had when she was back in Alfea, the ones when she would talk to Daphne, and there was no way to stop them.

The first thing she saw was a girl. Another red-headed girl off in the distance.

The plain black background caused the other person to pop out more than she expected her to. Her waist long red hair resting against her back. Her back was turned to Bloom, causeing Bloom to walk closer to her, until the other girl turned around to look at Bloom.

Her red hair matched the magnitude of Bloom's, almost to the last detail. In fact, she looked almost exactly like her, except for the eyes. The girls eyes more resembled Sky's. Her's taking on a darker hue of blue than Bloom's ever had, and from the look of her, she looked almost 18 maybe closer to 17. The one thing that stood out was the silver shoulder guard she wore on her left shoulder, looking like it was taken striaght from a peice of armor and put striaght onto her shoulder.

From the look on her face, she seemed as intruged in Bloom as Bloom was in her. She reached her hand up in front of herself while Bloom did the same until both of their hands touched, and with that, a wave of long forgotten memories resurfaced in both of their minds.

For Bloom, the memories she had forgotten almost 17 years ago came back to hunt her. The memories of her first daughter came back, the few months she had with her, the happiness Emily had brought her, and then the one thing she could never forgive herself for. The day she was taken away. The memory of the day she was taken from her came up, plagueing her mind. The fight to keep her in her arms, shortly followed by the battle to get her back from her captor, and then grief that came afterwards. It was to much... it was just to much at once...

She shot up from her dream, sweat pouring down her face as she tried to breath normally again. Her hand shot over her mouth, trying to hold back the scream that had almost made it's way out of her throut. Sky snapped out of his sleep as soon as Bloom had left the comfort of his chest, and snapped up to her hieght as fast as she did. He instinctively wrapped his arms around her as she barely started to regained her regular breathing pattern.

"It was the dream again wasn't it?"

Bloom's eyes started to water as she nodded her head into Sky's shoulder, until he could feel her sobs in his shoulder.

He wouldn't understand. He never would understand, but he already knew that. He had just recently gotten her to tell him what the dream was about, and just hearing what it was about struck a nerve inside him that he couldn't even explain. It had caused even him, the King of both Eraklyon and Sparxs, to tear up at the sound of it, and he could barely understand what Bloom must have been going through.

"Come on, Honey. You need to go back to sleep. You've got a big day tomarrow. You don't want the new students to see you like this."

Sky could feel Bloom smile into his shoulder. Her sobs only temporarily paused as her smile faded away, but the sobs that followed were more subtle and quiet.

Sky gently eased both him and his wife back down on the bed. He ran his fingers through her hair as he attempted to calm her back into her sleep, but never really succeeded, having to listen to her quiet sobs until she truly fell asleep. Then finally falling asleep himself, Sky feel asleep to the thought of him and his wife maybe reuniting with his first daughter, but he knew that was a slim chance if any.

And just before he could truly fall asleep for the night, a faint whisper flew past his ear, sounding almost familiar, almost like...Daphne

"You never know... You just might end up reuniting with the life you lost."
