Bloom lay awake in her bed later that night, thinking (something she was accused of rarely doing).
"Magic… Magic is actually real… just like I dreamed about…" Bloom smiled to herself.
"And to think that I'm part of it too… I have magic powers and Stella said I was a fairy, just like her…"
"And she told me that I could go to a fairy school. An actual college for fairies. I totally need to convince Pops to let me go. He can be so damn overprotective at times… " she shook her head to clear it.
"Get a grip, girl. Don't get all prissy and day-dreamy just because you might be growin' a pair of fairy wings one day. Remember who ya are. You are Bloom DeLuca, the daughter of a Mafia Boss. Not just a silly little girl…" she yawned.
"Ah well. Better try to get some sleep. Stella said she'd give me a buzz later. So much to learn, so much to do about being a fairy, apparently…" She snuggled further into the sheets and soon fell asleep, dreaming of all the magic she planned on learning in the not too distant future.
The chatter of the occupants of the dining room stopped abruptly as Bloom entered.
"Well then," Bloom spoke casually as she took her usual seat next to Raymond. "don't stop the conversation on my account."
"So, Bloom. I hear you had quite a bit of action yesterday." Her oldest brother David moved to sit next to her, adjusting his wire-framed glasses.
"Why didn't ya invite us to the party, little sister? It sounded like it was quite a good time!" Her other brother Anthony piped up from his seat across the table.
"Like I really had time to. Everything happened so fast!" Bloom rolled her eyes as she reached for the giant bowl of fruit salad and helped herself to some.
"So, our baby sister is una fata, huh? Who knew?" Raymond clapped her on the back, making her choke.
Bloom gave him the evil eye when she recovered.
"So… This Stella girl... this... fairy... she said that there was a college for fairies that you could go to. It may be good for you and these powers of yours, but I am not certain that you should go." Victor admitted.
"What?! Why?!" Bloom dropped her fork in shock.
"We don't know anything about that place in this Realm of Magix. It's in another magical realm that we have known exists for less than a day and we are supposed to just let you go off like that?" Victor pointed out. "We may be many things, but let it not be said that Giada and I are not concerned about this development for you as good parents should!"
"And what if more of those monster things come back? How will you defend yourself? We cannot be there to save you, Bloom…" Giada added.
"I will be able to defend myself! Or at least, I'll learn some sort of attacking and defensive magic soon! Besides, what if I don't go and learn to control my powers? Suppose I accidentally..." Bloom lit a finger and held it close to Raymond's hair, smirking as he inched away. "...lit someone ablaze? It would be most unfortunate, wouldn't it?"
Victor and Giada narrowed their eyes at her.
"Besides, Stella meetin' us here later, remember? Said she'd get me to come with her to this Alfea place. Swore it on her magic, she did!" Bloom stuffed her face with a few strip of bacon on buttered bread.
"We'll wait until she gets here and then we'll see. Now, eat, Bloom." Giada spoke firmly, cutting off Bloom's argument before she could voice it.
"Well damn, she's hot!"
"She is the Fairy of the Sun according to Bloom..."
"Then her powers fit her perfectly..."
Bloom rolled her eyes at her brothers' comments as she waved goodbye to Stella, who disappeared through a portal on the front lawn.
Somehow, the Solarian princess had managed to convince her parents to allow her to go to Magix and Alfea College for Fairies.
She almost couldn't believe it...
"Well, looks like you're going to college sooner than we thought." Victor smiled at her.
"Look at that. And to think, it feels like it was just yesterday when she came into our lives..." Giada pulled her daughter in for a hug.
"Ma! You're gonna squeeze the life outta me!" Bloom squirmed out of her grasp.
"Of course, we need to have a little sitdown with you before you go. Expectations, hopes and whatnot that you wanna accomplish at this Alfea College. Get everythin' off your chest..." Victor led them all back inside.
"Now somehow Stella managed to get you a scholarship into this place, so don't you dare waste it, Bloom..." Giada hugged her daughter tightly on the day she was supposed to leave for Magix.
"Yeah. I know you weren't so good with school here, but you gotta do good there. I don't want any daughter of mine flunking outta school." Victor patted Bloom fondly on the head, ruffling her hair a bit.
"Ma! Pops! I'll be fine. I'm sure magic school in another dimension will be so much more fun than boring old high school here..." Bloom assured them.
"More ways for you to get into trouble into trouble then. Try not to blow anything up." Raymond teased.
Bloom rolled her eyes. "Whatever, Ray..."
"Go kick some ass at that school, little sister!" David patted her on the back.
"Kicking ass and taking names: two of my favourite activities." she smirked.
"Try not to do it as much as ya do here. I know you don't start fights usually, but still. You're the newbie who knows next to nothing about magic so be careful who you provoke..." Anthony warned.
"Point taken, Tony..." Bloom truly understood that.
She might be just an average student in school and have a penchant for causing mischief combined with her rather... bold personality, but Bloom understood the dangers of messing around in someone else's territory. Magic or no magic...
They turned to see a yellow flash of light and Stella appearing in the doorway.
"Ready to go?" Stella leaned in the doorway, Sceptre in hand.
"Yeah sure. Let me just go get my stuff..." Bloom started to move towards the stairs, but Stella stopped her.
"No need. I can get that." Stella snapped her fingers and the luggage floated down the stairs.
"Catch." the sun fairy shrunk them down enough fit into Bloom's palm and levitated them towards her.
"Whoa," Bloom looked in awe as she pocketed them.
"You think that's impressive? Wait til you get to Magix!" Stella commented.
"Okay then, Principessa. You go and have fun, okay?" Giada hugged Bloom again.
"Come back a wonderful fairy, eh? Maybe at the end of the semester, you'll come flyin' back to us." Victor teased.
"You bet. I'm gonna miss you all. Except Ray of course." Bloom said.
Raymond rolled his eyes.
"Okay, I'll get her there in good time and sort her out with a phone so she can call and other stuff too. Bye!" Stella waved her Sceptre and the last thing she saw as she was engulfed in golden light was her family waving at her.
