By the time the girls came back from breakfast, they had all returned to their cheery selves.

"Hey, girls!" Stella exclaimed as she walked into the room. When she saw the irritated parents, her eyes darkened and her tone immediately became chilly. "Oh, hi Zanuck, Serana. When did you two crawl out of bed?" She hissed. Zanuck rolled his eyes at the young fairy.

"Your friends here knocked on our door and woke us up," he stated. "Lucky us." Stella smiled and cocked her head.

"Oh, that's too bad," she lied. She proceeded to ignore them, and instead turned her attention to her friends. "So, how are the boys?"

"Same as they've been," Roxy said. She shrugged and leaned back in her chair. "They haven't moved an inch." Aisha hummed.

"This is taking a long time, don't you think?" she pointed out. Musa shook her head.

"The nurse said they wouldn't wake up for a week or so, and it hasn't even been a day," she pointed out. "Be patient." Aisha sighed and sat on a desk.

"Alright," she said reluctantly. With that the room fell into an uncomfortable silence. Zanuck and Serana were glaring at the fairies while they tried not to notice. Bloom looked around and took a deep breath, forcing a smile onto her face.

"So… we haven't really introduced ourselves to you yet, have we?" she began, her gaze wandering to the parents.

"No." Bloom widened her eyes at their snappy response, but shook her head and continued.

"Okay, why don't we do that then? I'm Bloom. This is Flora," she pointed to everyone as she said their names. "Musa, Tecna, Roxy, Stella, and you talked to Aisha on the phone." The girls gave half-hearted waves.

"Okay, now we know what to call you all," Zanuck said. More silence followed. Stella rapped her fingers on her leg and sighed as she looked out the window.

"I'm bored," she complained. The girls all sighed at her words, knowing it was typical of her. She brightened and gasped when she saw something out the window; Red Fountain. "We should go see the guys!" The girls looked between each other and smiled.

"I'm game," Musa said.

"Me too," Aisha continued. She rolled her eyes. "Better than staying here." Zanuck and Serana scowled at her. Flora raised an eyebrow.

"But we need to stay here to take care of these guys."

"Good point…" Stella mumbled. A few moments later she grinned and her face lit up. "Maybe we can call them and invite them over!"

"I'll call them!" Aisha said. Zanuck and Serana looked at each other with raised eyebrows.

"Who are you talking about?" Serana asked.

"Our boyfriends," Musa said, not even giving her a glance. She grimaced.

"I see."

"Hey, Nabu!" Aisha was already on the phone with her boyfriend, happy they were going to see each other. "I'm good, how are you all? Great! Hey, we have to stay here to take care of the wizards, but do you guys want to come over? Okay, see you soon!" After that, she hung up. "They're coming. Nabu's going to make a portal so they don't have to take as long; they just have to find Riven."

"Of course he's the one that's missing," Musa said.

"Yeah, not a surprise," Stella said and Musa stuck her tongue out at her. They heard a noise, and they turned around. The guys were jumping out of a portal, and they all looked happy.

"Brandon!" Stella ran at him and jumped into his arms. He laughed and smoothed her hair down.

"Did you miss me, Cupcake?"

"Of course I did!"

"Nabu!" Nabu picked Aisha up and spun her around, pulling her into a hug.

"Hey, Princess." The others greeted their boyfriends while Roxy stayed seated, wringing out the rag she would use on Duman's forehead. Sky's gaze rested on the four boys who remained unconscious. He held Bloom's hand and walked towards the beds.

"So, how are the wizards doing?" he inquired. Bloom shrugged.

"See for yourselves," she said as she gestured a hand towards them.

"Still conked out, huh?" Riven mentioned. He shook his head. "I expected as much." Musa elbowed him in the ribs. "Hey!"

"Be nice."

"And you must be their parents. It's a pleasure to meet you," Helia said as he bowed. Zanuck and Serana were sitting with crossed arms, both glaring at the boys invading their space.

"Hello." Helia raised an eyebrow and backed away. Flora looked around and cleared her throat, wanting to break the awkward silence.

"Well, this is Brandon, Nabu, Helia, Riven, Timmy and Sky." They all waved at the surprisingly cold parents. "They go to Red Fountain… well, all of them but Nabu."

"Nice to meet you all," Zanuck said. Serana frowned and looked at Aisha.

"So, why did you invite these boys here?" The girls looked at each other.

"Because we wanted to see them?" Tecna said. Serana rolled her eyes.

"Yes, I gathered that. Did you have to bring them here? Couldn't you have met them somewhere else?" she hissed. Stella narrowed her eyes at the woman who was quickly overstaying her welcome.

"It's our dorm, we can invite who we want when we want," she spat. She was going to start a fight, wonderful. "You're both guests, stop acting like you own the place."

"Uh, Stella—" Bloom tried to stop her. Stella held a hand up to her, her focus never leaving the parents.

"And what is WITH your bad attitudes?! We saved your sons from some crazy witch, we're letting them stay at OUR place until they get better, and you've been nothing but ungrateful! Y'know, we could have just killed them instead of helping them, and you would have never seen them again. You may wanna show us some gratitude!" She was fuming and Serana was outraged.

"How dare you speak to me like that, you imp! We're keeping our opinions of you spoiled princesses to ourselves, is that not enough?! Because I will GLADLY tell you all what I think of you!" Most of the teenagers were shocked while Musa and Aisha got angry, too. THEY were spoiled? Aisha stepped forward, a hand on her hip and the other pointing at her.

"EXCUSE ME. We're anything BUT spoiled! We risk our lives over and over again saving the universe! People depend on us! We're willingly giving up time at our palaces and the lives of luxury we were born with to keep YOUR SONS alive!" she yelled.

"You just don't get it, do you? Now that we're guardian fairies, our responsibilities come before everything! We have to fit in our personal lives between catastrophes, THAT'S why we invited them over now! Do you KNOW how hard that is?" Musa screamed. Tecna's PDA started beeping. She widened her eyes.

"Uh, guys—" Serana snarled at them.

"Do you think I care about your lives? I don't! OUR lives were destroyed five years ago when our boys went missing, and here you are complaining about giving up your PALACES? That's absolutely despicable!" Zanuck shook his head and yanked his wife into a tight hug. "Let me go!"

"Guys, wait—" Tecna tried again.

"Honey, please stop fighting with them!" he exclaimed. She glared into his eyes and he looked at the enraged fairies. "Listen, I know we've seemed ungrateful lately, but we're just worried." He looked at his sons with his concern written in his features. "They haven't woken up yet and we're starting to fear that they never will; we're angry with ourselves for not being able to save them and we're taking it out on you." He looked back to the girls. "We know you're trying to cheer us up all the time, but by doing that you just seem like you're fine with whatever happens to them. It feels like you don't care." The girls were clearly confused and Stella, Aisha and Musa softened. They finally understood. Serana let out a breath and looked to the ground, water welling in her eyes. Tecna was quickly tapping on her PDA.

"You guys!"

"I get it," Bloom said, stepping forward. "I understand what you're thinking, but you're wrong. We're just trying to cheer you up because it seems like this whole thing is eating you alive. We never meant to seem insensitive; we just know they're going to get better. It'll take a while, but they're safe now. I'm so sorry if we offended you." Serana let out a deadpan laugh and shook her head.

"It's alright. I'm sorry I've been such a hot head… A mother's love can drive her crazy if she doesn't keep herself calm." Stella smiled sadly.

"So can you forgive us?" she asked. Zanuck and Serana looked at each other with smiles.

"Only if you can forgive us." The girls giggled.

"Deal!" they all said, all except Tecna.

"You guys!" she erupted, making everyone jump and stare at her with wide eyes. "I am TRYING to tell you something!" Roxy shook her head.

"Well, what is it?" she asked. Tecna held her forehead and looked at her device, her eyes still fearful as she tried to process the storms of new data attacking her.

"I think one of them is waking up…"
