Chapter 2

"Come on, Bloom!" Stella laughed as the two raced back to Love and Pets.

"I'm trying, Stella! I've never held this much shopping before in my life!"

"Darling, you desperately needed a wardrobe change!" Stella protested. "Sky's coming!"

"I know!" Bloom gushed. "I'm so excited! Flora!" She squealed as the nature fairy came into view, tending to the flowers in the newly bought window boxes.

"Hi, Bloom," Flora said as the two hugged. "Hey, Stella." Stella waved in acknowledgement, before running into the store to sort out Bloom's closet.

"New clothes for Sky?" Flora asked.

"Yeah," Bloom replied. "Is he here yet?"

"No, sweetie, not yet. He should be here soon, though."

"Oh, Flora, I can't wait!"

Flora laughed, and tugged Bloom inside the store.

"Come on, I bet Stella's dying to get you dressed!"

Bloom picked up her bags and headed inside with the other girl, mumbling, "I like my outfit..."

Fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"Oh my gosh, Sky!" Bloom cried, hiding behind Stella. Stella, however, had other ideas, and started pushing Bloom towards the door.

"He's your boyfriend, Bloom, it's not like he's the king of Solaria..."

"Why is everything about your realm, Stella?" Musa asked sweetly.

"Because it's so sunny!" Stella said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Sometimes I wonder if the blond in your hair seeps down into your head," Musa sneered.

"Hey! Cut it out, guys!" Layla shouted.

"Yes. Logic suggests that you two should be supporting Bloom right now, not fighting," Tecna added.

"Hey, I'm okay with not being in the limelight for once, you guys," Bloom said, stepping back a little. Stella said nothing, just grabbed Bloom's arm and dragged her to the door.

"Bloom? I know you're in there!" Sky's voice drifted through. "Why won't you come out?"

"Hang on a second, Sky!" bloom shouted, regaining all confidence, and rushing to the door. She flung her arms round Sky's neck, and he kissed her nose.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked.

"Yeah, sure." Bloom smiled. "I'll see you later guys, okay?"

"Bye, Bloom," Flora said, while the others just waved and stifled giggles.

"You look fantastic," Sky said as soon as they were out of earshot. Bloom was wearing what Stella had picked out at the store; a light pink and baby blue striped t-shirt with a yellow denim knotted top over it, and dark blue denim mini-shorts. It wasn't what Bloom would've chosen, and the only thing Stella let her have any control over were her shoes; black strappy sandals. It was the ultimate summer outfit.

"Thanks," Bloom replied. "Stella picked it out."

"Well, give her my compliments."

They carried on in silence for half an hour, just enjoying the scenery, Bloom occasionally using her powers to magically pick flowers and make them fly over to where Sky was standing. They decided to head to the local park, and sat down on a bench, sitting close together.

"I've missed this," Bloom sighed contentedly.

"Yeah," Sky agreed. "We should do this more often."

"We'll have to arrange that."

"It's getting dark, Bloom," Sky said after a while. "We should probably head back," looking down, he saw that Bloom was all but asleep on his chest, "and get you to bed."

"I don't know why I'm so tired," Bloom yawned. "I suppose I did stay up half the night preparing for this, though."

"Come on, sleeping beauty," Sky laughed, "I'll carry you home."

Bloom buried her head into Sky's chest as he picked her up and headed off back to the store.
