Day Two- Monday
…
Third Point of View- Helia
Faint voices could be heard from the door outside the room of the former Red Fountain student. Sighing, he unwilling opened his eyes. He looked at the unfamiliar room around him, after all, he spent his first night at a place so different from what he was used to. Silently, without a sound, he raised himself into a sitting position at his bed as he pondered over his thoughts. It had been a long time since he stressed out over something. He didn't think that his grandfather Saladin, would go this far.
Almost as if on cue, Helia heard a pair of footsteps nearing and Timmy, his friend, entered the room after shooting him a bright smile. "Get dress. I'll wait outside so that we can catch some food." he said.
Helia smiled at that. One of the very few things he liked about his friend was the 'happy' aura that surrounded him. Unlike the other specialist, Helia had always admired this about him; that and way he was observant with things.
Helia nodded and Timmy left to wait outside the door. In one swift moment, he was out of his bed and was walking down the hall towards the bathroom.
After brushing his teeth and showering, Helia changed into a plain black t-shirt that fit quite perfectly with his figure. He wore a pair of tan-colored shorts and had on some black shoes. Afterwards, he brush his lengthy hair and tied it into a lose pony tail. Not long after that, he made his way to the door.
…
The specialist made their way through SunsetShores in just 6 minutes. It wasn't that long really; it didn't have a long line like they did during lunch or dinner. That was because of the fact that it is currently around eight in the morning. Well, who could blame them? After seeing yesterday's line for lunch, they didn't want to go through all that trouble, especially without Stella.
After the waiter came and took their order, they began to eat and talk amongst themselves.
"So much for waking up early, I was having a good dream." Riven said, turning to glare at Timmy, who was his current roommate for now.
"Don't blame me." Timmy said innocently. "You were the one who told everyone to wake up early."
"Yeah." agreed Sky.
The hot-headed specialist sighed in annoyance as their waiter came with their food.
"Bet you haven't made up with Musa yet?" Brandon asked, digging into his ham and cheese omelet.
"Naw." Riven replied with his mouth full. Finally, the hot-headed specialist swallowed his food and answered properly. "No. She's still mad at me."
"No surprise there. Maybe you can make it up to her today? The Winx are going to the mall at around 9. Want to follow them?" Brandon asked.
"Brandon, we all know that if we follow them to their 'shopping business', they would only use us to hold their bags of clothes and stuff." replied Sky.
The former midnight-colored hair student thought about this. Soon after, he replied with a casual "I'm fine with it."
The specialist turned to stare at Saladin's nephew. "Are you sure?" asked Sky. "When it comes to shopping, there's no end to it… unless Stella says so. Plus, I don't think that would be an enjoyable activity for you, since shopping is a 'girl's thing'.
Helia replied, not looking offended by Sky's answer. "I'm fine with it. As long as I have something to do."
"Okay then." Brandon replied.
…
Flora's Point of View
"—'ll be impress, really, really impress. SunPlaza is amazing!" Stella squealed. "They have so many departments with cute, stylish clothes!"
I sighed at this. Shopping. That's what Stella planned for us today, our second day, at Suunyville Paradise. From all the events and activities she could choose from, she picked shopping.
We had finally awoken after our crazy sleepover yesterday. Because we were sleepy from the lack of sleep we had (AN: they slept at around 3 in the morning just watching movies and doing girl things), we got room service and had one of the workers bring food to Stella and Bloom's room.
We were all eating what we've ordered until Musa asked what we were doing today. From here on, we discussed about what events were there and what we planned to do. Of course, knowing Stella, 'shopping' would most likely be in the list.
Ten minutes later, we were all satisfied with what we planned to do for today.
…
After finishing every last bit of the bagels that Layla and I ordered, we went to our room to shower and changed clothes for our upcoming event.
I was wearing a pink hoodie with the cutest little hearts designs. Along with that, I was also wearing dark-like skinny jeans with my pink and black high tops.
Layla was wearing a plain black spaghetti strap shirt with a cute white small jacket that covers half of her top. Like me, she was wearing skinny jeans and black ankle boots.
Finally, after we had finished fixing our hair and putting on some accessories, we went out the door to our room to meet the others.
…
Once everyone met up at the hallway, we went down to the first floor and made our way to the entrance of the hotel where two big vans waited for us. One of them was white while the other was black.
Together with Layla, Bloom, Stella, Tecna and Musa, we entered the white van while the others, the specialist, went to the black van.
"—excited really. I can't wait to see what new clothes, shoes and other stuff they have!" Stella gushed.
I gave a small laugh in my head. Boy was Stella excited.
…
Fifteen minutes later, we arrived right outside the hotel. One by one, my friends and I got out of the white van. Stella, who was wearing a yellow spaghetti strap shirt with a blue cover up and some dark blue skinny jeans along black knee-high boots, lend the way to the entrance of the hotel.
Like everything else I had seen so far at Solaria, SunPlaza was just the same. Fancy floors, decorative walls, popular shops… you name it!
Finally, after we all became aware of our senses, Bloom spoke up. "So… where should we start?" she asked.
I glance at Stella as she pondered on the question. "I know!" she spoke up. "There is this really cool shop called 'I heart clothes'. While I was at Alfea, they recently build it and it became one of the famous shops to seek clothes!"
With that said, we were immediately dragged by Stella to our designated place.
…
Helia's Point of View
I mentally groaned inside my head. We were standing at the entrance of SunPlaza looking like five year olds who lost their mothers. Because we arrived much later than the Winx, we ended up coming late. Sadly, because that had happened and no one knew it would happen, we didn't get to ask Stella where they were going… or at least a clue to where we could go.
Of course, we could call them, but because we are at a different realm, our cell-phones won't work without a special card that allows us to use our phones in Solaria, and Stella hasn't given ours yet.
So, after that mind blowing incident, we finally took the nerve to wander aimlessly around SunPlaza in search of the Winx.
…
"Can we stop? I don't think any of this is working. After all, the Winx might be looking for us right now. We are just making things difficult for them if we keep moving." Timmy said.
Yes. We have been wandering for about two hours with no sign of the Winx. We were walking back and forth on the third floor with not a clue on where the girls were.
I heard Sky sigh. "He is right, this isn't going to work. We need to split up." Sky announced.
"I'll go with Sky." Brandon said.
"I'll go alone." Riven added, already walking off.
"Then I'm going with Helia." Timmy said.
I agreed to that as the remaining of us went our separate ways.
…
Sometime later…
Flora's Point of View
'I'm an idiot.' I thought. 'An ultimate idiot. Why does Sun Plaza have to be so big anyways?' I rolled my eyes at myself. Here I was in the middle of nowhere. Well, not literally in the middle in the nowhere.
I had just finished using one of the many restrooms they had at SunPlaza. Only when I was washing my hands did I realized that I forgot to ask Stella where they were heading next, much more, the directions to the place they were headed next.
I looked around helplessly for any signs of my friends. I didn't think they left the fifth floor. Besides, I didn't even want to leave this floor. For a person who went to Solaria for the first time, I think it's best to stick the places you are most familiar too, and that is the fifth floor of SunPlaza.
I started walking again, slowly this time, as if retracing my steps. Because it was Monday, it wasn't that much crowded. Or at least, that's what Stella said. From the left and the right, people walked passed by me, trying to get to their designated place.
I sighed. If I had the confidence to, I would have asked someone for directions or at least a map of SunPlaza. But no, I was too shy to do that.
…
At least 10 minutes passed, I knew that. Still, it didn't felt like 10 minutes. It felt more like hours, hours of walking around aimlessly on the fifth floor.
I groaned and decided to take a rest for a bit at an open bench. Almost then did I sat down did I felt the rush of weariness overcome me. Slowly, I lowered my head to my hands. As I was about to close my eyes for some sleep, I noticed someone. Him.
His familiar light brown hair that covered his green eyes seeped unto my mind. Quickly, I stood up and focused my eyes on his direction.
After spotting him, I did the next best thing that I could think of… I went after him.
…
Nothing mattered anymore. The only thing I wanted to do was reached out to him. Reach out from behind him and hug him.
His voice, his soft, sweet voice that always calmed me down filled my head; his smile, his laugh and everything about him. I needed to get to him. To Hunter.
Hunter.
His name left me in a dazed and I felt myself wanting to stop. But I didn't. If I stop now, I wouldn't get to him. I wouldn't reached out to him.
As I slowly closed the distance between us, I felt my world shift at once. Everything came crashing down upon me. Our hugs and kisses, our silly love notes… the memories that we had together. All of them came went rushing out of the box that I had locked them in and suddenly, it felt like it was just the two of us then. Me chasing him, just to reach out to him while there was still time.
'Just a little more' I thought. 'Just a little more and I could reach out to you.' I could feel tears gather in my eyes. Tears of happiness. This moment… I have waited so long for this moment, to see him again… to be with him.
Finally, after the many shoves and apologizes, I was within distance to reach out to him. And I did. One of my hands found its way to grab a hold of one of his shoulders. Instantly, he turned around…
And that's when I felt cold reality's slap in my face. My heart was shattered to a million pieces and it wasn't even fully patched up yet. I could feel my vision blur as the tears of happiness from before were replaced with sadness…shame.
I have mistaken someone else as Hunter.
…
Helia's Point of View
I felt hand on my shoulder, expecting that hand will be Timmy's. Preparing myself for the news I was to get from him, I turned around. Instead of Timmy however, I turned around to find a shocked Flora.
Instantly, I felt myself go on guard. Her face that was a mask of shock was suddenly replaced with bitter sadness.
"Flo-Flora?" I stuttered out. For the most part, I was relief. Relief because I had found someone I knew. On the other had, I was shocked too.
Silently, I watched her as tears became to pour out of her nature green eyes. I part of me didn't know was to do, I felt… sorry for her. Whenever I asked Timmy about her, he would describe her as the sweet caring fairy, so why was she crying? What was I suppose to do?
Nevertheless, I couldn't stop myself from the next thing I was to do.
I hugged her.
…
Her head fell against my chest while her hands gripped my shirt tightly. About 10 minutes passed and her cries were turning into soft, low sobs.
Finally she spoke up. "I'm sawry." she whispered, as her hands fell back down to her sides. "I mistook you for someone else." With her head down, she turned around and started to walk away.
I stared at her retreating back, dumb folded. Was I really going to let her go away like that? With her tear-streaked face?
In answer, I grabbed one of her hands and tugged at it lightly. She turned back, facing me with red puffy eyes. I smiled. "Why won't we get something to eat?" I asked.
…
Flora's Point of View
I sat down on an open bench, almost the same one as before. We were in front of yet another mini store at SunPlaza.
After my breakdown, Helia had offered to get something to eat. While he was inside getting us some drinks and a snack, I was outside on the bench waiting for him.
'What have I done?' I thought. 'I have mistaken Helia for Hunter. What am I suppose to tell him now?' For the most part, I was ashame.
Helia and Hunter are very much different. Especially in apprearance. While Hunter has light brown hair, Helia has blue-ish black hair. While Hunter has green eyes, Helia has blue eyes. So, why had I mistaken him? Was I hallucinating or what?
…
A few minutes after, Helia came back with a bottle of water, a can of coke and two sandwiches.
"Here" he said, as he handed me a one of the bottles and one sandwich. "I didn't think you would like Coke, so I got you water instead."
He was right. I didn't like coke. I didn't like the way my nose would hurt every time I gave a small burp.
I gave him a small smile. "Don't worry, I don't mind." I told him. My voice hadn't recovered yet from my breakdown, but it was still loud enough for him to hear. Or at least, that's what I think. "And, thank you." I said shyly.
"No problem." he replied, as he took as seat next to me. "So…" he began. "Judging by the way you were wondering around… You somehow got lost too?" he asked, somehow in a playful manner.
Instantly, I felt the heat creep up to my cheeks as I bit unto my sandwich, totally not minding was inside the sandwich, hoping that the blush wasn't noticeable.
After a while, I answered. "Yeah, I forgot to ask Stella the directions to going back."
Helia laughed. "Yeah, same here. The specialist and I were walking around for about two hours just looking for you and the Winx." he said, turning to face me. "You guys are really good at hiding."
I felt myself blush and I slightly turn the opposite direction from him, so as to hide the blush from him. "Thanks" I muttered.
As if noticing my discomfort, he immediately changed the subject. "So, have you thought about what you wanted to draw?" he asked me.
My eyes widened at the thought. Afterwards, I relax a bit as an image of what I wanted to draw came into my mind.
"Yes." I told him, while turning my head to face him. "I want to learn how to draw a rose."
So yeah, that's chapter four for your guys! If you are wondering, it is still day 2.
Also, I know I mentioned this on the last chapter, that I was going to give you guys a link to the layout of the hotel. Sadly, it isn't finish and I have no time to work on it because school is taking most of my time. So yeah,
On the other hand, if you have any question, comments or concerns about the story, you can PM me about it and I will try my best and explain it to you.
Another thing, I also mentioned that I was planning to make another story. Sadly, I won't. At least for now. My schedule is piled up and I can barely squeeze enough time to write a new chapter for you guys. :\
On the other hand, I will 'probably' post a one-shot next week. MAYBE. Depending if I am busy or not. ^ ^
Thanks for reading! ^ ^
