That morning, the guys were in Saladine's office.

"Now, you boys all know as I do, that Helia has one more exam" Saladine began.

The boys all shook the heads in agreement.

"Well, this one you will not be able to find out anything about" Saladine continued.

"What!" the boys all yelled.

"Professor, that's not fair" Brandon complained.

"Yes it is, this exam will be unexpected, it will prepare you for the unexpected" Saladine explained.

"So you can't even tell me what I should study on?" Helia asked.

"Nope, it will teach you to be prepared. All I can tell you is that will happen when you least expect it, be prepared Helia" Saladine finished as the boys left his office.

At that same time, the girls were all in Professor Wizgiz's class listening to his potions quiz.

Flora was the only one who wasn't paying any attention. She was too busy drawing in her notebook. She was drawing a large love heart with her and Helia's initials in it. She was thinking about the time her and Helia first met.

"Helia, these are my friends. Let me introduce you. This is Flora, and that's Tecna and this…" Brandon started.

"And I'm Princess Stella of Solaria and a great supporter of art" interrupted Stella.

"I'm honoured to meet you" said Helia bowing.

Flora looked at his paintings and said, "Your brush strokes capture the dove's movements so beautifully. It's like its wings hove the clouds and the sky and the dove become one."

"That's what I had in mind, I love that you got that" replied Helia.

"Yeah, that's Flora for ya" mentioned Brandon.

"It's really nice to meet you Helia" said Flora smiling.

Flora blushed at the memory. She came back into reality at the mention of her name.

"Flora" Wizgiz said.

"Yes Professor" Flora answered dropping her pencil on her desk and standing up.

"After mixing your potions, what's the best method to preserve unused sea slugs for future use?" Wizgiz questioned.

"Well, professor, you see, if I had extra sea slugs, I'd let those little suckers go right on back to the ocean, I don't like the idea of using creatures for potions" Flora answered with a small innocent smile.

Wizgiz sighed and replied "Freeze dry them is the correct answer."

"Oh, right" Flora said a little embarrassed as she sat back down in her seat.

"Flora, I would like to see you after class" Wizgiz said before returning back to the lesson.

Later that day, the class had ended and the girls were on their way out the door, except for Flora.

"Flora, I can't help but notice that there is something wrong with you" Wizgiz began.

"What do you mean professor?" Flora asked a little confused.

"You seem really distracted and out of it lately. You are not paying any attention in class, your homework standards have dropped and the pop quiz we did last week, you failed it."

"How did I fail professor?"

"It was a multiple choice quiz, and all you circled were the answers that started with the letter H, in most of them you wrote an H over the A since most were up to the letter D."

"Oh," Flora said, looking at the ground in embarrassment.

"Is there anything going on Flora? Something you want to tell me?"

Flora shook her head.

"Has this got to do with the contest? Because one of the conditions upon entering was that it wasn't going to interfere with your school work."

"No, it has nothing to do with that at all."

"Then what is it Flora?"

"I just...I can't...there is too much going on in my head and sometimes...it's like...I don't know...like I can't tell between a hero and a villain sometimes, like I can't tell them apart at all."

"What do you mean Flora?"

"I'm just having some personal friend-type issues at the moment."

"I see, well, I understand that, but school work is just as important as friendship, but if there is anything I can do to help, just let me know, but you have to get this sorted out, at this rate, there is a possibility that you fail my class this term."

"I understand professor, I won't let you down" Flora said with a smile, and with that, she left the classroom.

Back with the boys, they were walking towards Alfea to congratulate the girls on another round won.

"You guys think that the girls could actually win this?" Sky asked hopeful.

"I believe so, there isn't anything that the girls haven't won before" Nabu said with pride.

"That's true" Timmy agreed.

"Guys, do you feel kind of bad that Helia isn't coming along with us?" Brandon asked randomly.

"A little, but he can't let Flora assume that he is playing with her head again if he comes" Riven answered.

"Yeah, I guess" Brandon replied as the guys walked through Alfea's main gates.

The boys were happily greeted by the girls, who were waiting for their arrival.

"What took you guys so long?" Stella asked jokingly as she greeted Brandon with a hug.

"Sorry, we had to walk because our hover bikes were being repaired" Brandon answered.

"So where are we going to celebrate?" Bloom asked the guys.

"Well, we were thinking of taking you all to that new cafe' down town. All of us" Nabu answered, emphasising the all part as he looked at Flora.

"I was thinking of staying here, I mean I have a lot of work that I have to catch up on if I want to pass Wizgiz's class this term" Flora began.

"Aw, c'mon Flora, it will be fun. It won't be the same without you there" Musa said.

"Yeah, and besides, without you, we wouldn't even have something to celebrate" Tecna added.

"Come on, just for an hour then, and you could come back and study, how's that?" Bloom reasoned.

"Alright" Flora said caving in.

The others all smiled happily as they all boarded the last bus for downtown Magix. A short journey later, the group found themselves in downtown Magix.

"So where is this cafe'?" Layla asked taking Nabu's arm.

"It's just down the street" Nabu answered as he led everyone down the footpath to the new cafe'. On the way there, the girls were discussing the new song for the next round.

"So, what are you girls going to sing for next week?" Riven asked curiously.

"We don't know" Musa replied, "but I'm sure Flora will come up with a new one."

"We'll see if Helia gives me any more inspiration" Flora said spitefully.

"Flora?" Bloom said a little stunned at Flora's comment.

"What?" Flora asked not noticing her mistake.

"You shouldn't say something like that" Bloom finished as everyone turned around to face Flora.

"Why not? It's true though, the heartbreak and misery that he's giving me is making me fail my classes but giving the inspiration to write beautiful songs. Let's just call a spade a spade, if you will, we all know that it's true. Whatever Helia does to me next, could inspire me to write another song" Flora answered as she walked between the others and continued walking.

"Flora, that's not true" Riven called out.

Flora stopped and immediately spun around.

"Isn't it? Come on Riven, we all know that it's true. In a way, Helia breaking up with me has been the best thing in a while. We could get a record deal from the songs I write from his inspiration. You know, I know it, we all know it, but the difference is, is that I'm the one who's saying it first. I should probably thank him for this, because, I can start to move on, he probably didn't even love me in the first place, I was probably just some fling for high-school because he missed his girlfriends from his old art school" Flora said starting to tear up.

"Flora, you know damn well that that is not true" Layla said.

"No, you're definitely right Layla, Helia probably broke up with me to spare me the agony of seeing him cheat on me instead because I was one of many flings for high-school" Flora replied sarcastically but also serious at the same time.

"Flora that is load! Helia did love you and loves you still" Brandon blurted out.

"Does he? Does he really Brandon?" Flora asked sarcastically and trying to fake him out. "Because the way I see it, if you love someone, you wouldn't make a promise that you couldn't keep, break up with them over the phone, mess with their head or play games. You do the math Brandon; you know that what Helia did was wrong, so stop sticking up for him."

"Helia broke up with you because Saladine made him" Sky yelled out to Flora.

Flora once again stopped in her tracks, not daring to turn around.

At the same time, Helia was walking around downtown, trying to get Flora out of his head so he could be ready for his final exam.

Helia was walking down one of the streets on the other side of the new cafe'. He smiled at the thought of taking Flora there one day, but that day might never come if he fails the final exam. Helia was about to turn a corner for the bus station when he heard a explosion from block behind him.

Helia turned around to see a building on fire. Helia ran to the building to get a closer look when he started to hear screams coming from inside the building. He ran up to the building when a policeman stopped him.

"Sir, you have to stay here, we cannot risk anymore people getting hurt" the policeman said stopping Helia in his tracks.

"What's going on here?" Helia asked.

"Gas leak in the building, made it catch fire, all the citizens managed to get out safely except for one young women, a student from Alfea I'm told, she's still in there. We can't go in until the fire department arrives."

Helia took a second for the information to get in his head. Helia could hear the sirens coming from the fire engines, but they would be at least 10 maybe 15 minutes away at least, but by then, it would already be too late.

"That's not quick enough" Helia said as he pushed passed the policeman and barricade and kicked down the door.

Helia covered half of his face with his sleeve to protect it from the smoke. High beams and walls were collapsing everywhere. The temperature in the building was rising dramatically. Helia called out to the girl in the building. He could hear her screams coming from one of the offices on the top floor. Helia made a break for it for the stair case, but as soon as he reached the first step, a beam collapsed on it, shattering the staircase into pieces. Helia started coughing from the smoke, but he had to perceiver, he couldn't let an innocent die.

Helia was starting to boil from the heat, he the girl's cries for help were starting to fade, it sounded like she was beginning to lose consciousness. Helia threw his laser string glove over a stable beam hanging over his head. Helia swung himself up to the second floor just as the beam dissipated into ashes from the flames. Helia called out to the girl once again to hear her voice coming from the office behind him. Helia kicked down the door and saw a young girl huddling in the corner, attempting to avoid the flames.

"Don't worry, I'm here to help you" Helia assured the girl.

Helia started to approach the girl when the middle of the floor caved in under his feet. Helia did a flip just as it collapsed under his feet and landed on the other side in front of the girl.

"Quick, take my hand, it's ok, you can trust me. I'm going to get you out of here" Helia said as he held out his hand.

The girl looked up at him and took his hand. Helia gave the girl a tissue to cover her face from the smoke. He used his body to shield the girl from the flames. When they reached the top of the staircase, Helia had no beam to swing himself and the girl to the bottom floor. Helia looked around and realised that he had to jump. Helia let go of the girl and jumped to the second floor, landing on his feet, unharmed.

"Jump" he called to the girl.

The girl shook her head. "I can't"

"Yes you can. I'll catch you, you can trust me" Helia said as he held out his arms.

The girl nodded as she jumped as the floor turned to ashes as well and she landed in Helia's safe arms in a bridal style.

Helia nodded to the girl at her bravery and they ran out of the door. They both got out of the building as its structure began falling apart and collapsing in on itself. Helia and the girl removed the cloths away from their faces to be greeted by policemen, paramedics, the arriving fire brigade and cheering people from behind the barricades.
