It was a gorgeous sunny afternoon in the city of Magix as Flora and Helia were strolling through the city. Flora had time between her classes to meet Helia for an afternoon stroll.
"Helia," she said holding his hand.
"Yes my love" he answered giving her a sweet smile.
"Thank you for coming with me this afternoon" Flora added moving in closer to Helia.
"I'd do anything for you Flora" Helia replied kissing her on the forehead.
"I know, but didn't you have a master class with Codatorta this afternoon?"
"I do, it should be starting right about now."
"Then, why aren't you there, I mean school is more important than a stroll."
Helia stopped walking at that point and turned to face Flora, looking into her eyes.
"Flora, I wouldn't miss even a minute with you, I would drop anything just to be with you. There is nothing more important to me in this world but you. There is nothing in this world that could keep me from you. I love you so much, don't you ever forget that."
Flora blushed and had the biggest smile on her face. Helia lifted up her chin and gave her a romantic kiss.
At Red Fountain, Helia came back with a huge smile on his face. He entered the dorm to find all the boys standing there with their arms crossed.
"Hey guys" Helia said not noticing the evil looks on their faces.
"Where have you been?" Sky questioned.
"What do you guys mean?" Helia asked confused.
"You missed the master class with Codatorta, it was a mandatory class Helia" Timmy answered.
"Where were you?" Brandon added.
"I was out with Flora all afternoon, we were taking a walk" Helia answered.
"A walk?" Riven asked confused. "You missed a mandatory class with Codatorta for a walk?"
"With Flora," Helia added making it sound like it was more important if he said it was with Flora.
"Helia, we know how much you love Flora, but, you can't keep skipping classes all the time when she wants to be with you" Nabu said.
"Come on you guys, it was only this one time."
"Actually, it isn't" Timmy explained. "There was the time last week where you flight training..."
"Flora needed help with her art project" Helia interrupted.
"Flora doesn't even take art" Sky said.
"Then was the time where you snuck out of a lock down drill to take a midnight picnic with Flora" Timmy gave another example.
"Flora was lonely, she wanted me to be with her," Helia defended.
"You said she had a bad dream" Riven rebutted.
"Then there was the time where you stopped fighting during battle class to answer your phone" Timmy explained.
"It was Flora, she had something really important to tell me" Helia defended yet again.
"She wanted to tell you that she loves you" Brandon corrected.
"Over and over again, every 5 minutes of that class" Riven added.
"And finally, there was the time where you missed our mid-term exams to write poems about her" Timmy finished.
"It was her birthday" Helia said.
"You were starting 2 months early" Nabu said.
"I...I..." Helia couldn't think of anything else to say, the guys were right.
"Dude, you are spending way too much time with Flora, and Saladine is taking notice about it, he actually told us to speak to you about it, before he does" Sky informed him.
"When does he want to see me?" Helia asked.
"Now" a voice from behind answered. Helia turned round to find his Uncle Saladine in the door way.
"Boys, will you excuse me and my nephew?" Saladine requested.
"Yes sir" they replied as they exited the room and closed the door behind them.
"Uncle" Helia greeted Saladine
"This is no time for pleasantries dear boy, you have missed far too many classes in one term."
"But uncle, I wanted to see Flora"
"I know you wanted to see Flora, but this is getting too much. You have missed 2 mid-term exams, 5 battle classes, 4 mandatory classes and broken curfew about 3 times. You can't keep doing this Helia, not for some girl."
"She is not some girl uncle, I love her and I keep seeing her whenever I want."
"No you won't Helia, I forbid you to see her."
"You forbid me? You can't do that uncle."
"Please uncle, give me another chance, I'll keep up with my studies, I promise, just let me see her, I promise not to do this again."
"No Helia, you have missed far too many classes to pass this term. You are not eligible to continue your journey here at Red Fountain."
Helia was gob smacked. "What?"
"Because of Flora, you can't continue your Red Fountain training. You will have to move back home and continue your study with your parents."
"And leave Magix, uncle, I don't want to leave Magix, there has to be something that I can do."
Saladine thought about this for some time. "There is one thing Helia"
"Anything uncle, name it."
"I will give you a make-up exam. If you pass all three exams with three different teachers, you will be able to pass the term and continue your training at Red Fountain."
"Consider it done uncle"
"But," Saladine interrupted, "You have to break up with Flora."
Helia was stunned; he didn't know what to say.
"What?" Helia asked thinking that he may have misunderstood.
"You have to break up with Flora" Saladine repeated.
"I-I can't do that, I love her uncle"
"She's too much of a distraction Helia, and for this exam, you can't afford one little distraction at all."
"Then I promise not to see her"
"I can't trust you on that dear boy, you have failed my trust for far too long, what would stop you from going to her aid in the middle of the night, answer your phone during an exam or class, or even stop studying to write about her?"
Helia knew that Saladine was right, he just didn't want to admit it.
"Helia, you have to do what's best for you, I'll give you some time to think about this. You have until this evening to decide" Saladine added, and with that, he left.
The boys came back inside and they were all silent.
"That was brutal" Riven said breaking the ice.
"You guys could hear us?" Helia asked.
"No, we listened at the door" Brandon replied as the guys face palmed themselves. "Whoops," Brandon said realising his mistake.
"So, what do I do?" Helia asked for some advice.
"Well, you have two options" Sky said. "You can either, move back home and never see Flora again"
"Or you could break up with Flora but still be able to see her everyday" Timmy added finishing Sky's sentence.
"Helia, move back home and not see Flora, or stay here, take the exam, break up with Flora but still be able to see her" Nabu reasoned.
Helia sat on one of the couches in the main room of the dorms and thought. Move back home not see Flora, or stay in Magix and see Flora.
"You're right" Helia finally said. "I-I have to break up with Flora"
"You're doing the right thing man" Brandon said sitting on the opposite couch.
"Yeah, at least this way, I'll still get to see Flora" Helia agreed, hiding his sadness.
At Alfea, Flora returned to the dorm to find Musa excited and bubbly. She was running around the whole dorm with instruments and music sheets everywhere.
"Hey, what's going on?" Flora asked closing the main doors of the dorm.
Tecna was reading a book on the double seated couch and answered, "Musa is entering in Alfea's Idol singing completion thing"
"We have a singing competition" Flora said confused.
"We do now" Bloom said exiting her and Flora's dorm and sat next to Tecna. "Amaryl suggested the idea to Miss Faragonda for young musicians, like a big performance for the year, since the formal isn't until next year."
"Sounds cool" Flora added putting her bag next to her as she sat in one of the single lounge chairs.
"No, it sounds awesome" Musa yelled from her bedroom excitedly.
"Hey, I've got an idea" Stella began entering the main room. "Why don't we make a band together."
"That sounds awesome" Bloom said happily.
"Yeah, and Musa can be lead vocalist and I can dance" Layla agreed exited.
"Musa, what do you think?" Stella called to Musa's bedroom.
"I love the idea" Musa answered exiting her and Tecna's room.
"But, who will play what?" Flora asked.
"Well, Layla could play the drums, Tecna could play the key boards, Bloom could play the bass, while you, Musa and I play the electric guitars" Stella explained.
"That sounds like a plan" Bloom agreed.
"Yeah, but don't you think that 3 electric guitars is a bit much, it could drown out the vocalists" Flora suggested.
"Well, ok, Musa play the electric guitar, I'll play the acoustic-electric guitar and you can play the acoustic guitar. Sound good?"
"Yep, just making sure we sound good" Flora said happily with a smile.
"No, the only thing we have to do is figure out who will be singing?" Layla informed.
"I think Musa should be lead vocalist" Tecna voted.
"Me to" Stella agreed with her hand in the air.
"And Stella and Flora and be the other two vocalists" Bloom added.
"Are you sure Bloom, because you have a lovely voice" Flora complemented.
"I'm sure," Bloom replied.
"Yeah, you guys are great" Layla said.
"Alright" Musa said picking up guitars, "let's rehearse for the audition."
All the girls cheered as Musa conjured up a key board and drum set for Tecna and Layla, and spelled the room to make it sound proof. But just before the girls could rehearse, Flora's phone started ringing.
"Sorry girls" Flora apologised as she took out her phone. "Oh, it's Helia."
"I thought you had a date with him this afternoon" Tecna said.
"I did" Flora answered as she answered it. "Hello? Hi Helia sweetie, what's up?"
"Helia what's wrong? You sound so serious."
As soon as Flora said that, the girls all looked at each other with grim faces.
"No sweetie, I will not meet you when I know there is something bothering you."
"No Helia, we will talk about this on the phone."
"Helia, please just tell me what's wrong. You don't sound happy, and I will not go on a date when I know that you are sad and not enjoying yourself. Please just tell me what's wrong."
"What do you mean?"
"No, but, I know we are spending a lot of time together, but..."
"This is not fair Helia. That is not a good enough reason, you are just making things up to make yourself feel better."
"Oh, you're uncle said so, I don't believe that Helia."
"I can't believe what you're saying, and over the phone" Flora yelled with tears in her eyes.
The girls knew what was happening; Helia was breaking up with Flora.
"So now you're blaming me that you're doing this over the phone"
"No, I don't want to hear it Helia, you said this afternoon that there was nothing in this world that could keep us apart. I thought you were different Helia, but, I guess I was wrong" and with that Flora hung up the phone with tears streaming down her face.
The girls stayed quiet waiting for Flora to tell them what happened. Flora kept quiet and let the tears fall down her face. She looked at her phone and threw it at the wall, smashing it into pieces. The girls put their instruments down and gave Flora a hug.
"He broke up with me" Flora said finally as she sobbed.
"We know" Bloom said giving her a hug.
"We kind of suspected that when you threw your phone at the wall" Tecna said.
"I can't believe that he did it over the phone" Flora said still crying.
"Well, to be fair, he did want to meet with you but you forced him to tell you over the phone" Stella reminded.
Flora and the others just gave her a death stare. "But doesn't matter" Stella added joining in the hug again.
Flora whipped the tears from her eyes.
"Are you going to be ok Flora?" Layla asked concerned.
"Yeah, I'll be fine, I just need to be alone right now" Flora answered as she went into her room and closed the door.
The girls all looked at each other with sad faces.
"Do you think she'll be ok?" Layla asked the others not believing Flora.
"She will be fine, she has to be" Musa said.
Flora was in her room and whipped the remaining tears from her eyes. She sat at her desk with a piece of paper and a pencil and started writing.
The next morning, the girls were all in the main room of the dorms with their instruments in their hands waiting for Flora.
"Any idea why Flora wants to see us?" Stella asked.
"No clue" Musa answered tuning her guitar.
Flora opened her door and greeted the girls with sheets of paper in her hands.
"Hey girls" Flora said shyly.
"Hey" the girls all said quietly.
"You feeling any better today Flora?" Tecna asked.
"Yeah, a little bit" Flora answered.
"At least you're fully dressed, we thought you would be in you PJ's for a week or something" Stella said jokingly. The girls all looked at her like they didn't know what she was talking about. "You know, the first step of the grieving process? The first step is to be in your PJ's and in bed for a week? Oh never mind."
"Anyway, I wrote a song last night and I was wondering if we could, you know, try it out" Flora suggested as she handed the girls a sheet of music.
"Sure, sounds good to me," Musa said. "How about you guys?"
"Sure" Bloom said speaking for everyone.
"Great" Flora said still a little shyly.
Flora picked up a microphone as the music started.
Ohh, how about a round of applause
Yeah, standin' ovation
Oooh ohh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
You look so dumb right now
Standin' outside my house
Tryin' to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry

Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
But now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now
Musa and Stella: (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
Ohhh...
Grab your clothes and get gone
Musa and Stella: (get gone)

Talkin' about, girl, I love you, you're the one
This just looks like a re-run
Please, what else is on
Musa and Stella: (ohh)
And don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
But now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now
Musa and Stella (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
Ohh, and the award for the best liar goes to you
For making me believe that you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech out
How about a round of applause
A standin' ovation
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
Now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now
Musa and Stella (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
But it's over now...
The scene cuts to the audition room with Ms Faragonda, Wizgiz and Palladium.
"Wonderful girls, simply wonderful" Palladium said clapping his hands.
"I agree, you actually made us believe and feel what the artist felt when writing it" Wizgiz commented.
The girls all looked at each other like that is how they wanted it, to feel what Flora is feeling.
"You girls are in" Ms Faragonda said happily.
