Prologue

Sparx. There was a reason why it was often referred to as 'the most magical realm'. It was mostly due to its beauty and the many inhabitants of creatures and people. There was also the culture, and the realm's crown jewel: the palace; painted blue and purple with elegant rubies across, many people saw it as the most wonderful place in the land. But to Bloom, it seemed like it was all to good to be true.

She stared out the window of her room and sighed. How was it possible she went from a simple girl from Earth to here? My friends of course, she reminded herself. And Sky.

Thinking about Sky made her remember when she'd seen him only two days before. They were engaged and the wedding was in about four more months. She sighed again, admiring the engagement ring on her finger.

She remembered the day she'd gotten in. It'd been at the official ball to celebrate Sparx coming back. That'd been about eight months ago now.

Thinking about Sky made her remember about the other girls. Like her, they all went to their own realms. Stella was planning her coronation and was engaged to Brandon while the rest were preparing for their own wedding days. Sure, they all stayed in touch, but it seemed that they'd all moved on to the more important things in their life now that there was peace in the universe. (Well, mostly peace. There were still some fights here and there, but that was typically expected.)

She reminded herself how shocked she'd been when she found out that Layla and Nabu were engaged gain. Yet, she was happy for them, happy for all the others. The only person who wasn't happy was herself.

Why? She didn't know. She had a fiancé, five best friends, was a princess, and lived in the most powerful realm in the entire Magical Dimension. Not only that, she'd done what she'd wanted to since her freshman year at Alfea: find her birthparents, Oritel and Miriam.

She had idea as to how she could still feel as if something was missing. She had everything and nothing all at the same time.

Another sigh. Bloom wondered how this whole thing had started. It'd all begun that day about four years ago now at the park. That day, she'd been the old Bloom; the Bloom who was normal and was happy. She hated to admit it, but sometimes she regretted having met Stella. If she hadn't, she would be living like any other nineteen-year-old-girl now. (That is, for Earth.)

Though she was disappointed, she did know that she did want to marry Sky. But, she also had to admit she was nervous to know that she was going to be the queen of Eraklyon. Sure, she could also be the queen of Sparx at the same time, but it'd get to complicated with the distances of the two kingdoms and all the work. But, Sparx would have an heir. That would all get settled later.

Guilt passed her. She'd told no one of her of her feelings and didn't plan on it either. If her birthparents found out, they may attempt to buy her something, even though she already had pretty much everything. If the other girls found out, they'd try to comfort her when all she wanted as to be alone. And if Sky learned of this, he might think that this was all an excuse to break off their engagement, and she didn't want to do that at all.

Suddenly, she heard a buzzing ring and knew that it had to be her phone. She walked through the large room and approached the table where it sat. She sat on the sofa behind her and hooked the phone up to the TV in front. Stella's happy-as-ever face appeared on the screen.

"Hey Bloom!" She waved, a smile across her face. "How are you?"

Bloom shrugged. "Fine." She was not fine. She was anything but fine. "You?"

She beamed. "Well, it's been so much fun getting ready to be crowned queen of Solaria. I'm so happy it's me and not that awful Chimera!"

Bloom chuckled. She recalled the incident with Countess Cassandra and Chimera. She was just glad that everything had worked out for Stella. It would be to much for her to know she wasn't the only one of the Winx Club who was unhappy. She sighed again. Just remembering soured her expression again.

Her friend quickly caught on. Stella looked at Bloom with clear concern. "Bloom, what's wrong? You look sad."

Bloom did her best to fake a smile. "No, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me, Stel."

She nodded. "I know, but I'm your best friend and this is what we're for, right?"

"Of course," the princess of Sparx replied, a sadness still in her voice as she looked at her best friend.

"Anyway," Stella continued. "The girls and I have been talking and we want to come visit you for a day on Sparx. How does that sound to do you?" The Solarian princess's face told that she desperately wanted her friend to accept.

Bloom nodded. "Sounds great to me. What day do you want to come?"

Stella thought for a moment, then answered, "How's next Friday? None of us are doing anything then. Does it work for you?"

"Yes. That's perfect. Well, I gotta go Stel. I'll talk to you again later, okay?"

She nodded, understanding. "Bye Bloom!" And her face disappeared from the large television screen, blacking it out.

Bloom sighed again. She yawned and checked the time. It was just a little after three o'clock in the afternoon. Good. That would give her just enough time to take a nap before the big event that night. The king and queen of Popularis were coming over for dinner and to speak to them.

Changing into her silk pajamas, she yawned one more. After braiding her hair in her private bathroom, she walked back into the main area of her room. She quickly walked to the other end and climbed into the big brass bed and got under the covers.

As you'd expect, the bed was elegant as anything else in the palace, and very soft. The beds of the Sparxian palace were said to be some of the most comfortable. But, to Bloom, they seemed to comfortable.

As she fell asleep, thoughts ran through her head. Why? Why did I have to find out I was a princess? Why couldn't I have just stayed normal? It would definitely make my life more simple.

But little did she know that when she woke up, life as she knew it would be changed forever.
