In Erakleon's royal thrown room, Sky and Brandon were talking to Sky's parents.
"This is unacceptable Sky!" Sky's mother yelled. "Very soon your father and I will pass down the crown to you. You can't handle being the king, the only ruler of Erakleon."
What your mother means to say Sky is that you can't rule Erakleon without a queen," Sky's father added.
"What are you saying dad?" Sky asked. "Are you making another arranged marriage?"
"No Sky," his mother replied. "We're saying that you need to choose your bride."
"I was a sophomore at Red Fountain when you arranged my marriage to Diaspro. So what makes you think this will be any different?" Sky asked with his arms crossed.
"Squire?" King Henry bellowed.
Brandon was standing next to the king and threw a small box to Sky. Sky caught the box and opened it. When he opened it, Sky saw a five carat diamond ring. His eyes widened.
"You can't be serious? Are you seriously letting me pick my bride myself?"
"Of course, do you have anyone in mind?" Queen Felicity asked.
"Actually, I do," Sky said with a smile starting at the ring.
At Alfea, Bloom was in her dorm looking through Layla's wedding album. Layla came through her room carrying boxes full of her stuff.
"Beautiful aren't they?" Layla cooed as she walked up to her.
Bloom's face lit up as she looked up at Layla.
"Yes they are. When are your parents handing over the crown?"
"My parents aren't officially passing the crown yet so Nabu and I won't be rulers until I receive my princess powers. Since I missed out on the first two years, I have to repeat them then the third like normal" Layla replied as she picked up a box and walked off.
Bloom flipped the page of the album. Outside the sky was grey and the rain was pouring down. Lockett and Tune were locked out side and were trying to dodge the rain drops.
"This is so rude," Tune complained. "Why can't Musa and Bloom just give us little umbrellas? I mean look at my wings it's hard for them to fly."
While trying to dodge the rain droplets, Tune and Lockett crashed into the balcony window. Bloom looked up and opened the window.
"Tune, Lockett are you two alright?" Bloom asked concerned.
Stella came in all socked and yelled, "Argh! I hate rain! It frizzes up my hair!"
Tecna was sitting on the couch with her laptop as she said, "Stella, it's logical for this realm to have rain, as well as your hair to get frizzy. So, live with it!"
"Oh shut up Tecna," Stella yelled as she slammed her door.
Digit flew up to Tecna and said, "Tecna, why did you just take that?"
"Digit, if you've know Stella as long as I have, you learn to block her from her mind."
Bloom picked up Tune and Lockett and placed them on the couch and gave them a cup of tea from the 'Flower of Life' in Pixie Village.
"Are you two feeling better?" she asked.
"Yeah, thanks for the tea," thanked Lockett.
Somewhere in the air, Brandon and Sky were in the squad ship returning to Red Fountain. Sky was sitting in his seat admiring the engagement ring.
"I don't know if I can do this Brandon," Sky admitted all confused.
"Look Sky, she's your girlfriend. I know she'll say yes" Brandon replied as he drove the ship.
"Probably, but how do I say it? I mean, she's in her third year of university. I'm in my last year of Red Fountain. I don't really feel quite ready, so how can she?" Sky sighed.
"Then tell your parents that" Brandon advised.
"I can't Brandon. My parents are passing down the crown after I graduate. I can't rule Erakleon unless I marry Bloom."
"Well Sky, it sounds to me like you're using Bloom to make your parents happy."
"Uh, you're right," Sky sighed once more.
Back at Alfea, Musa and Flora entered the dorm with smiles on their faces.
"Oh hi you guys. Musa, Tune has a bone to pick with you," Tecna announced.
"What? Is she tripping?" Musa asked walking away to find Tune.
"With Bloom," Tecna said not taking her eyes off her computer, pointing to Bloom's dorm as Musa walked off.
"Oh Flora, we have a new roommate. She wants to meet you," Tecna added.
"A new roommate? Where is she?" Flora asked.
"She's in Layla's old room" Tecna said.
Flora walked to Layla's old room and knocked on the door. The door opened and Layla appeared at the doorway.
"Layla? What are you doing here?" Flora asked stunned.
"I'm just packing up my stuff" Layla replied sadly.
Layla walked back to packing up her stuff and Flora followed her.
"Why are you packing up your stuff?"
"I have to start university like normal so as far as you and the others are aware of I'm a freshman while you guys are seniors" Layla finished.
Layla then picked up her last box and walked out and transported the boxes to her new dorm.
"See you guys," Layla called as she walked to the freshman side of the Alfea's uni.
"Flora, don't look so sad. Layla gave us her wedding album, so come and take a look," said Bloom trying to cheer Flora up.
"Hey Tune what's with you saying that you were mad?" Musa asked as she walked into Bloom and Flora's room.
"Yes Musa, Lockett and I have decided that we would like some umbrellas please. Look, Bloom gave us some tea because we got a cold from the rain outside so please can you give us some?" Tune asked politely.
"Sure. Sorry about the cold" Musa apologised.
Musa picked Tune up and placed her down on her bed and got a spare umbrella.
"Smallus Shrinkus," Musa said as the umbrella shrunk to Tune's size. Tune smiled gratefully.
At Red Fountain, Sky was laying on his bed thinking on what he would say to Bloom when Helia, Riven and Timmy came over to him.
"Hey Sky, Brandon told us about the announcement. Congratulations" Riven congratulated.
Sky smiled and looked at Brandon out on the balcony.
"What? We got back three hours ago and you haven't said one word, I had to" Brandon said in defence.
"Sky, do you even know if you're ready to do this?" Helia asked sincerely.
"Well, yeah, I love Bloom" Sky answered blissfully.
"Do you even know if Bloom is ready?" Timmy asked worriedly.
"Well, no, but she might" Sky reasoned.
Sky got a piece of paper and a pencil and started writing out ways on how to ask Bloom.
