Family Around
Where're the Teachers?
This was not what she expected she would be doing when she decided to go to Magix for the afternoon. While not that un-ordinary since arriving to Alfea, Bloom found that running after someone through the mall was quickly becoming a habit. Although, she had to admit, she never thought she'd be running after someone because they'd just kidnapped her teachers. Nope, definitely not what she'd thought she'd be doing. Running around the corner, she let out a growl when she couldn't find the man she'd been following. Letting out a huff, she spun around and ran back outside where she quickly transformed. She didn't bother searching the streets, but she did look below her as she headed back to Alfea on the off chance she might spot the kidnapper. She couldn't believe that she was the only one to see what had happened. She would have thought that others would have tried to help, but no one did. They just kept on going about their business, as if nothing out of the usual had happened. Sometimes she really wondered about the people she was surrounded by.
It didn't take her long to make it back to the school, not when she was forcing herself to fly as fast as her wings would allow her. Flying over the courtyard, she spotted her friends, exactly where she'd left them when she'd decided to go into town. Swooping down, she landed lightly beside Tecna.
"Bloom, you've returned." The magenta haired fairy said, looking at her impassively, "We did not expect you back for another one point two hours."
Breathing deeply, Bloom looked at the technology fairy and shook her head, "The teachers from all three schools were kidnapped." The four girls gasped, "I chased after the man, but I lost him in the crowd."
"We gotta do something!" Musa cried, jumping up from where she was sitting on the edge of the fountain. "We gotta help them!"
Beside her, Stella whined, "But I just got my hair done!"
"Musa's right," Flora agreed, her soft voice a welcome change from the Solarians shrill one, "We can't just leave them."
Bloom smiled slightly at her friends, "Tecna, can you find them?" She asked, looking at her friend.
"It will take some time." She answered, "To much time to leave the schools unattended. Once the students realize the teachers are gone, there will be problems." She said, looking at Bloom coolly.
Nodding at her friends logic, she turned to the rest of the group, "Right, Stella you and Musa go over to Cloud Tower, Flora, Red fountain. Tecna and I'll stay here and look for the teachers."
Musa and Flora nodded, both chorusing together, "Right," While Stella moaned about having to go to that dark dank dungeon of a school. Rolling her eyes at the blonde princess, Musa grabbed hold of her arm and dragged her along. "Come on."
Turning her back to the three, Bloom looked at Tecna, "What do you need to find them?" She asked seriously.
Arching a brow, the technology fairy said plainly, "Time."
Bloomed pursed her lips, 'The one thing we don't have.'
Together Bloom and Tecna worked on tracing the magical signatures of the teachers. Well, Tecna worked on finding them, Bloom was trying to stay calm. They had only just narrowed down the general area of where the teachers were taken when Blooms cell rang. Flipping it open, she answered far more harshly then she intended too.
"What is it Stel?"
"They have me washing their clothes!"
Frowning, Bloom pulled the phone away from her ear and looked at it before speaking into it once more, "Where's Musa?"
"I don't know!" The girl cried loudly, "She left me to deal with them by myself. She's probably off shopping or with Flora having fun with the boys!"
Growing impatient with the princess, Bloom growled, "Deal with it Stel," before slamming her finger down on the end button. Quickly dialing Flora's number, she pushed the phone in between her shoulder and ear, looking over Tecna's as her fingers flew over the key pad of her computer.
"Bloom?"
In the background, Bloom could hear loud music and several voices shouting over each other, almost drowning out her friends soft voice.
"Is Musa with you?" She asked, cutting to the chase as she watched the screen zoom in once more of the map of the area surrounding the city.
"No. Why? Is everything okay at Cloud Tower? Do you want me to go over and check it out?"
Bloom shook her head, forgetting for a second that her friend couldn't see her. "No, you stay there. Stella can handle it." She paused for a second, "But try to get in contact with Musa, she's gone AWOL."
"Okay."
Nodding, Bloom hung up her cell, dropping it on the desk beside Tecna just as the girl spoke.
"I found them. They're being held in a cave not too far from Magix." She said, moving aside to let Bloom see.
"How'd you find them?" She asked, frowning at the flashing red dot on the screen.
"As Ms Faragonda is a fairy-witch hybrid, she has a unique signature that makes it easier to pinpoint. It took longer than expected because of the cave. The walls must block the energy signatures."
"Right, I'm going after them." She transformed, clipping her cell to her skirt, "You stay here and try to keep Alfea in one piece."
Standing up, Tecna frowned, "That is not logical. We would have a greater chance at success if both of us go."
Bloom shook her head as she made her way to the balcony, "Someone needs to stay here." She said before darting up into the air, "If you can, find out where Musa is. Coordinate with Flora."
Standing on the balcony from her room, Tecna sighed, "Nobody listens to logic."
