Stell honey, is everything packed for tomorrow?

No mum tomorrow morning I'll pack I need some new cloths

For goodness sake child not again you're not a diva or something you have your school uniform and a whole closet of nice cloths Celina sighed

But mum you have every time you go to a premiere another dress

I'm an actress sweetie you're just a school girl here on Earth now start packing when we go to Magix you'll get new cloths

Wait, I have to call Belle first to ask what she'll take with her and when she'll come here

Child, Belle is in little Rock and you're in Malibu! It's not ten minutes riding to our home from hers!

It's useless aunty she won't change her mind Florence answered

Oh Flo can't she be as easy as you? Lily sighed but smiled

Belle, you have to wear that jeans skirt I have too with your blue tank top and that oversized white blouse with those many buttons I'll wear mine

I will Stell Belle laughed a bit forced at the other side of the phone

Celina smiled and looked at the big picture on the wall of the Six Fairies; her daughter with friends who were all fairies

All six so different but still friends for life

Her own Stella golden blond with honey colored then Belle Antrim with her flaming red hair and light blue eyes followed by Australian Florence of Linphea with her golden brown hair and green brown eyes the fairy of Nature, , English Teresa of Zenith better known as Terry with her pinkish brown hair and grey blue eyes Black haired French Natasha of Harmonic Nebula with her bright blue eyes and at last Spanish Layla of Tides with dark brown hair and dark turquoise eyes

Stella, hang up now you'll be seeing Belle tomorrow and you still have a whole semester to talk!

I wonder if we're all together in one sleeping quarter Florence pondered

Don't worry about that even if we're not we'll sneak out at night to come together in each other's rooms her friend grinned

You girls are seniors now I'm sure you'll at least share a study

Oh yeah I hope Belle and I are together

I don't know if it's a good idea to put you and Bella together her mum doubt I'll call Mrs. Zenith to ask her to talk to your principal that you and Belle must absolutely be separated not in one quarter, class or study because you two are just a walking disaster

Come on mum!

I'm still thinking if we should let you girls go to Magix fairy high school

Well you can talk about it with our parents Florence said helpful and what time would the others come?

This evening honey but I'm not sure from Belle

Oh Aunty Celina, I can't tell you how grateful I am that I could stay here with Stella because we both had measles or else I'd be lonely at home none of my siblings or my grandparents ever had measles

Don't worry about that sweetie you girls are always welcome here

Mum, do you think it will snow in London?

I guess so doll that's why you have to pack warm cloths

Aw how sad I packed a few summer dresses and my bikini

I guess you'll have to unpack them then Florence laughed

Later that evening the doorbell rang

I'll get it Stella yelled and rushed off the stairs followed by a much calmer Florence and Celina

Aaah! Natasha and Layla screamed as soon as they closed the door and they were hugging Stella and Florence

Hi girls Teresa smiled calm and hugged them too

Hey Belle what's wrong Stella informed concerned as she saw her best friend so quiet and pale

The red-haired girl burst out in tears and hugged her blond friend

Hey sweetie what's wrong?

Belle could only sob

Uncle Michael and Aunt Fanny told her she's adopted when she was a baby Teresa answered in her place and she's mad at them now

Oh that must have been a shock Lily reacted pitying and that on your birthday what a day you must have had

Belle, don't cry Stella soothed her you must be proud of them instead of getting mad they took a child who's not their blood as their own blood

Yes, it was the Lord whom brought you to them so you could have a great life Florence said soft

I haven't heard you say a sensible thing in a while Stell Teresa remarked dry

Seeing the dumbfounded expression on the blond girl's face everyone burst out in laughter if they wanted or not

That's so not fair Terry! She pouted and threw her scarf at Teresa

I wished I could draw your face Belle finally laughed

Thanks a lot you can better help me unpack because I packed beach cloths

Stell, sometimes I ask myself if you're actually thinking before you handle you're really uh…demasiado

What is that?

She means that you're just incorrigible Natasha grinned

And incorrigible means…?

Layla said you're too much and Natasha said that you're hopeless Teresa translated for her

What I think is that your senses let you down by times

She made a mistake Belle said soothing it's not more than normal that she packs such cloths because she comes from a warm country by the way both of you are totally cured right?

Yes and ready to rock good old England Stella squealed

God have mercy on those teachers Celina sighed

You know what you and the others stay here to catch up aunt Celina, Flo and I will pack your suitcase because if you pack we can expect that you forget your tooth brush and your pajama Teresa chuckled

Not to mention her uniform and her hair ribbons Celina reacted dry

I can't help that I'm not good in these things Stella pouted

Stop that because you look like Paris Hilton like that Layla grinned

That is an insult!

I know! Her friend reacted laconic

This girl has so many cloths and still it isn't enough Celina sighed as she looked at her daughter's closets

Well that's how Stella is Teresa laughed

I do hope she won't make Ms. Jenkins too mad this year Florence grimaced

The list with complains about Stella I got from her 1st year was longer than my grocery shopping list in a half year Celina chuckled while she put one of her daughter's books in the suitcase

Whoa who's this?

The girls shrugged their shoulders

Stella!

Aye mum?

Who's this? Young lady her mother asked stern holding up a picture from a handsome brunette young man with honey brown eyes

She laughed bashfully

Uh…that's Ben Castlereagh he's from Down, North Ireland he's a second year at High school and he is planning to go in the army

Oh like that Celina nodded and how old is he?

17 and I'm 16 besides it's not something romantic it's different I dunno but somehow I feel like I know him!

Oh how sweet our Stella is digging deep into her mind and feelings Layla and the others who came into the room teased her

Leave me alone Stella whined and threw a pillow at them

Soon it became a real pillow fight including Celina but except for Teresa whom looked amused from a distance

Okay that's enough Celina puffed we still have a surprise for Belle!

Yippee! The six girls roared exalted and rushed to the kitchen

Giggling Stella blindfolded her best friend with her scarf

Stell, what…

On the girls and lily their happy birthday exclaim Teresa took the scarf off Belle's eyes

Oh a birthday cake! The girl called out and got tears in her eyes

Thanks you guys and thank you mummy Celina she whispered into her ear

Your welcome darling Celina smiled and quickly wiped away her own tears

With a trembling hand the teenager cut the cake and to all the girls their endearment the first peace went to Lily

Open up your presents now! Natasha ordered her

Aye mademoiselle Belle laughed and began to open up all the presents

Oh my…! Aaah thanks Tash a collection of Kelly Clarkson's songs

Let's see this one is from Flo…

Tjee girl so much tape on it!

Awww a basket with all the animals of Noah's arc they're such cute stuff animals! Thanks Flo

Dear me Layla I don't understand Spanish but I'm sure the text means happy birthday right?

Yeah happy birthday and lots of love Layla is written on the card

How sweet and quickly she opened it gosh girl it's huge!

Cierra la boca y ábreselo chica

Wow thanks a lot girl a new Tennis racket set and cloths!

Mine now Stella squealed jumping from one foot to the other

Okay this is a lot easier to unpack and…

Breathless and with tears in her eyes she stared at the diamond jewellery set

Oh Stell so much just for me!

You're my sister and sisters deserve this much

Miss Paris Hilton there are others too Teresa teased her

Okay alright just don't call me Paris Hilton

Teresa just sticks out her tongue and hands Belle her present

Thank heavens yours is easy to open too

Oh how sweet books and maps

Those books are about eastern and western medical treatments and the maps are if you go on vacation in Europe one is from West Europe and the other from East Europe

This one comes from Stella's dad and I Celina smiled as she gave her the present

Belle really began to cry as she saw the framed picture of Stella, her parents and herself in Disney World
