Chapter 5 (A new beginning)

Flora woke up this morning. It was cold in her room, she looked at blooms bed, but (Instead of seeing her sleeping there) it was empty. The room's balcony doors were open though and there was wind rushing in. Flora went outside.

"Flora! Look at those clouds!" Bloom said and pointed to the sky.

Flora looked up, surprised.

"They look like snow clouds" Flora said examining the dark clouds above.

"That's what I was thinking! Can you believe it? Snow!" Bloom said excited.

A gush of wind blew and the girls shivered. Then went inside, Flora took a shower and put on a green long sleeved shirt, dark skinny jeans, and boots (Just in case). When she got out she went to the cafeteria for breakfast with Stella, Tecna, Musa, Bloom, and Layla

"It can't snow today! I don't have the right clothes! In Solaria it is sunny ALL day! We are going shopping after school! I'm buying!" Stella said

"What about homework?" Tecna asked, sad.

"Fine... Shopping THEN homework!" Stella said.

"Homework before shopping Stella!" Tecna said

"I have an idea!" Flora said, trying to stop the argument, "How about Tecna and I shop for less time than you guys, then go to a café somewhere and do homework then you can meet up with us and we can eat" Flora said

"That's a great idea Flora!" Bloom said

"Fine" Stella pouted.

"I think I'm staying with Flora and Tecna, school first" Musa said

"Fine, me Bloom and Layla will go shopping, you three can do homework." Stella said

"Well…" Layla started

"WHAT NOW?" Stella boomed.

"Never mind" Layla said, and ate oatmeal.

Poor dear. Flora thought she doesn't want to go… she sighed and looked at the big clock in the corner of the cafeteria. All the girls got up and grabbed their bags. They walked to professor Whizzgizz's class (their homeroom) when they got there they took their seats.

"Good morning class!" Whizzgizz cheered

At lunch the pixies came down to join them.

"Where's Bloom?" Musa asked

"I think she's with Professor Avalon" Stella said

"No Blooms getting the mail I think" Tecna said

"She could be doing both." Layla said.

"No I don't see Avalon until later." Bloom said, taking her seat and handing everyone their mail.

"When you say later you mean..." Stella began, eyes going wide with frustration

"After the shopping trip" Bloom said. All the girls laughed

Flora had three letters. One from Rose, one from her Aunt, and one without a name on the envelope. She opened that one first and blushed when she saw the picture of her and poem below it. It wasn't hard to figure out who it was from.

That's so sweet, and so like him. She thought and smiled.

"Well what do we have here?" Stella said and took it from her

"Hey give it back!" Flora said

All of the girls laughed as Stella pushed Flora away and read the poem.

"That's sweet, why doesn't Brandon ever do that for me?" Stella pouted

"Because Brandon and Helia are two different people, you barely see Riven even smile at me" Musa said

Stella stuck her tongue out and everyone laughed

"Aw young love" Amore (Stella's bonded pixie) Said and held her hands together.

"Oh let me see it Flora!" Chatta said.

Flora put the picture in a folder and put it in her bag. Then smiled

"Maybe later" Flora said before we draw attention she thought and opened the letter from Rose.

After School the girls got on a bus to go to Magix. They walked to the mall and looked around. Flora saw the perfect sweater. It was white and mid length and you could button it or tie it around your waist.

"That's pretty!" Stella said and took it from her.

"Huh… yeah." Flora said

"Flora do you want to do homework at the café around the corner?" Tecna asked

"Sure" Flora said, seeing Stella buying the sweater.

Its ok, it'll look better on her. Flora thought as the girls started to walk to the café

"Call you when we're done!" Bloom yelled.

Flora, Musa, and Tecna sat in a big booth near the back. When Flora opened her folder the first thing she saw was the picture Helia sent her. She smiled and pulled out her homework and a pencil.

"What do you want to start with?" Flora asked

"I'll do 1 you'll do 2 Musa will do 3; and we can all check it later" Tecna said.

"Ok." Musa said for both her and Flora.

"Can I get you girls anything to drink?" A voice said.

"Yes can I have a—"Tecna Started, then looked up"—Timmey!" she said excited.

She jumped up and hugged her boyfriend, Flora watched him blush. She smiled that's cute. She thought, and looked behind them: hmm Riven, Sky, Brandon she thought then frowned.

"Hi Riven" Musa said and Riven just stared at her. Then she frowned and looked away and he smiled.

"Err, where's Bloom?" Sky asked.

"Shopping with Stella and Layla, they should be here in a few minutes. Huh where is Helia?" Flora asked.

"He went to an art show with Saladin; it's in that museum down town, that's why we all came here, for a guy's night out. He should be here soon too." Brandon said.

Flora smiled. Okay that'll be fun Flora thought and got butterflies in her stomach. She's known him for three months now (and dated him for two) and the thought alone always gives her that affect. Just then Layla, Bloom, and Stella walked in Bloom and Stella had their arms filled with shopping bags and Layla had about three.

"Sky!" Bloom yelled and ran to her boyfriend

Sky laughed, "Hi Bloom!" He said.

I hope he's having fun at that art show. Flora thought, and then a real waitress came

"Should we make your table bigger?" The girl said

Stella had a bright smile "Yes please!" She cheered.

They added two more tables and a bunch of chairs. There were two empty ones at the end.

"Can I get you anything to drink?" The waitress asked.

Oh I totally forgot about drinks Flora thought. When it came to her turn

"Umm can I ….err…. have some green tea please?" Flora asked

The waitress smiled and wrote it down, then moved on.

"What's wrong Flora?" Layla asked

"Hmm?" Flora said, lost in thought, "Oh, I didn't finish my homework." She lied

"Oh, please, she's upset because Helia was a no show" Stella said.

The girls are on the bus now. I can't get away with anything with Stella here Flora thought

"No" She smiled "Nothing is wrong" Flora said.

"Oh! Flora! You just reminded me!" Stella said and reached inside one of her shopping bags, she pulled out the sweater from earlier and tossed it to Flora.

"I was surprised you didn't wait; I said I was buying didn't I?" Stella said.

"Oh! Thank you Stella!" Flora cheered.

Then the bus stopped. The girls got out and walked into the Alfea gates. Later they all went to bed.

"Night Flora!" Bloom said on her side of the room, Flora smiled

"Night Bloom!" she said.

In her dreams, she was walking in the forest and saw Alfea. The more she walked, the farther the school went. Then the forest vanished and it was dark surrounding her. All she could see was Alfea. She started running towards it. Then the school vanished, all there was is her standing in a dark room. Then she heard the twitches evil laugh. The laugh was all around her, as if she were surrounded. When that faded away she saw a light, shinning on a pair of scissors. Then she saw strings attached to her arms. She tried to reach down for the scissors but couldn't control her self. Then she heard some laughs that brought her back to her childhood. She looked up and saw her Mom and Dad. She looked at them controlling the strings and everywhere she went. Then when they looked away she grabbed the scissors and cut the rope and fell into a deep hole of darkness.

What will happen next? Will it be a normal day? Does that dream mean more than it seems? Stay tuned to find out!
