Hey everyone! I'm feeling a little under the weather but I still wanted to get this chapter out for you guys. Dedicated or what? Before I forget I just wanted to explain Jackson and Angus' roles. Jackson is the Linphea's royal family's butler, he's been around since King Charles was a young boy. And Angus is just a pilot for the family. Enjoy the chapter!


~Linphea's Ship~

"What did we hit anyways?" asked Flora

"We hit another ship Princess. But don't worry, it was just a scratch."

"Do you know what ship we hit?" I'd like to send them an apology for my reckless driver."

"I apologize Princess. I'll take care of it when we land."

"Thank you. I don't want to ruin Linphea's reputation."

"And we won't Princess. Just sit and relax till we arrive," said Jackson.

"You're right. What could go wrong?"


~Knightly's Ship~

"Sir we've arrived."

Helia had dozed off on his way back home. Usually he'd be eager to be home but not this time. He was still thinking about Flora and how she was doing. Was she sad? Angry? Both? "Already? That was faster than usual."

"Usually we pick you up from art school, not Magix."

"That's true. Is Maurice around? I need to speak if him," asked Helia.

"I'll go find him. Where shall he meet you?"

"I'll wait for him with my parents."

"As you wish."

"Helia!"

Helia turned around to see his mother running up to him following close behind was his father.

"Oh my son! I've missed you so much!" said Queen Venus

"I've missed you too mother."

"I'm glad you decided to come home."

"Grandfather said it was urgent so I rushed home. What was so urgent that I had to cancel my other plans?"

"You're needed here in Knightly my son. You need to understand that every once in a while we need you home to take your place as Prince," said King Gavin speaking for the first time.

"My place? That was the urgent news? I had to cancel my trip for you to tell me something I've known for my entire life?"

"Please Helia. Calm down. I also wanted your opinion on the party I'm throwing in a few weeks. I heard you met some friends and thought what better way than Helia to invite his new friends from school home to a welcoming party." explained Queen Venus.

"A party? What kind of party?" asked Helia

"I was thinking a black and white party."

"You've never thrown that type of party before."

"Exactly. Now come inside and settle in. We have a lot of catching up to do. Tell us about your new friends."


~Linphea~

"Flora!"

"Miele!"

"I've missed you so much! The palace has been so boring without you." said Miele

Picking up Miele in her arms, "I've missed you too little one."

"Are you going to stay for the party?"

"Of course."

"We're going to dance ALL night right?"

Flora giggled, "Yes Miele. All night long!"

"Yippee!"

Walking into the castle, the guards bowed and welcomed Flora back to Linphea with open arms. Flora has always enjoyed coming home but not because she got to be pampered but because of the energy Linphea and it's people give.

"Flora, my beautiful daughter has returned!" proclaimed King Charles

Putting down Miele, Flora ran to her father to give him a hug.

"Dad, I'm not all that beautiful."

"On the contrary Flora, you're one of the most beautiful girls in the whole universe."

Turning around Flora saw her mother walking towards her with open arms.

"Mom!"

"Flora, although you're my daughter I'd like it if you'd give yourself more credit. You're a very beautiful girl, inside and out. It's very hard to find someone like you." said Queen Alessandra

"Yes, mother. I'll try."

"Good. Has Jackson explained to you that we'll be going over our guest list and dress adjustments in a few hours?"

"He explained everything on the way here."

"Mom, can I help Flora pick out a dress?" asked Miele

"Of course. Flora you don't mind do you?"

"Not at all. Besides I'll need an expert to advise me which dress I should wear and who else than my favorite little sister Miele."

"But I'm your only sister!"

The royal family started laughing and Miele dragged Flora upstairs to her room to pick out a dress.

Coming in from the family room Jackson appeared, "Sire, there's a phone call for you."

"She's grown so much hasn't she Jackson?" asked King Charles

"I said the same thing your highness."

"Now let's see who's calling shall we?"


~Knightly Castle~

"Maurice."

"Yes, Prince Helia."

"Can you bring my dinner up to my room? Tell my parents that I'm not feeling too well but don't worry them."

"I'll be up in 5 minutes"

That's all he ever had, 5 minutes to himself. He used his timed wisely and called Nabu at Red Fountain.

-"Hello?"

-"Nabu, it's me Helia."

-"Hey, how's Linphea?"

-"I don't know! My parents called for me to come home."

-"Wow, how did Flora take the news?"

-"Good I suppose but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about."

-"Okay, talk to me."

-"I need you to come pick me up from Knightly and take me to Linphea."

-"Are you asking me to kidnap you? Are you insane?!"

-"Listen, I don't have much time left. Bring a Red Fountain ship to Knightly with the rest of the guys and come pick me up so we can go to Linphea and I can see Flora. Coming to Knightly was a waste of time! I should be there with her, she shouldn't be by herself."

-"By herself? The Winx are going tomorrow and I'm betting Stella will get some good looking guy to dance with Flora."

-"Are you trying to make me feel better? Because you're not helping!"

-"Alright calm down! I'll be there to pick you up with Riven and Brandon tomorrow."

-"What about Sky and Timmy?"

-"They left about 3 hours ago. They should be arriving soon."

"Helia, open the door. I've got your dinner." said Maurice

-"I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow."

Helia got up and went to let Maurice in. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Helia ate his dinner quickly and went to bed, staring at the ceiling.


Flora awoke with knocking at her door. "Who is it?"

"Jackson, Princess."

"Come in."

"Good morning Princess. How did you sleep?"

"Good morning to you Jackson. I slept fine but a little too peaceful which is rare for me." giggled Flora.

"From what you tell me your roommates are wild, aren't they?"

"Very."

"I came to ask what would you like for breakfast?"

"Hmm? Perhaps the chef's special scrambled eggs with a fruit salad?"

"Strawberries with cream?" Jackson suggested, familiar with the Princess's tastes.

"Perfect," Flora said with a smile. "You know my favorites Jackson."

When her breakfast was delivered shortly after she finished getting ready for the day, Jackson had seen that the chef included her favorite tea, as well.

Flora first ate the fruit salad first, seated at a small table on her balcony, and then the scrambled eggs. She drank two cups of tea, a great favorite of hers, and picked daintly at the strawberries swimming in heavy cream.

The Spring dawn was much too beautiful for her sour mood towards her party and Helia not being here with her. But nature overlooked the resentments and the warm sum rose in a brilliant golden haze, illuminating the world in shimmering splendor. The fresh new leaves on the trees gleamed, the fragrance of early roses filled the air.

The delicious food helped soothe her down as did the lusting Spring morning. She was able to review the rest of her day with her right hand in the palace, Lucy. Even though Lucy didn't have her full attention, Flora still managed to remember what she had to. Her mind was full of memories and thoughts of Helia. From the first day they met till the first time they kissed.

She sighed. It was a shame that Helia had to go home to his parents.


Helia didn't sleep, or it seemed as though he hadn't slept when Ned, his best friend, came calling and woke him. (AN: Ned is a servant and Helia's only friend growing up.)

"Go away," Helia muttered as Ned pulled back the curtains and let the sun into his room.

"Rise and shine! We have an appointment to see some prime horses at the arena." He jerked another curtain allowing more sunlight into the room.

"Go without me." The young Prince's voice was muffled by the pillow he'd pulled over his head.

"Lord Simon is selling his racers. And you want that big black of his. Or last I heard, you did. I suppose we can let Blandford buy it instead." Ned lifted the pillow from his face. "Is that a yes or no?" He knew that Helia would crawl a hundred miles rather than let Henry Blandford buy a horse he's been wanting. "Maurice is sending up coffee as we speak. Don't worry, we still have half an hour left."

"Remind me one of these days to resign your position." His words were clear now, for Helia had flung a pillow at Ned.

"Hey! Watch the hair will you?" Ned yelped, soothing his sleek blonde curly hair behind his ears.

Fully awake now, Helia rose from his bed with a sigh, feeling more fatigued and stressed than when he'd gone to sleep. He knew the arena owners wouldn't wait, he moved towards his dressing room.

"Thanks for reminding me of that black." He yawned and stretched. "I just wish it wasn't so early."

"It's almost noon, Helia." Ned said, following him. "Since when did you need more than a couple of hours of sleep?"

"Don't question me. I'm exhausted."

"Is this where I ask, 'And why is that?' I hear you had plans before your parents made you come home."

"Does this kingdom have nothing else to talk about but my personal life?"

"But you keep us all entertained. What would the gossip be in this boring place if you decided to pursue your poetry career."

"Maybe I will," Helia muttered, walking over to the bathroom. "I'll move to the country. Away from this madness!"

Ned chuckled, "That would be very rare. Especially on how long you'd even last in the country. Your parents would send a search team after you."

Shooting his friend a black look, Helia stepped inside the shower. Standing under the warm water, he wondered how much he really wanted Lord Simon's horse. He was very stressed about the events that are happening in a few hours.

"Have you fallen asleep in there?"

Ned's remark disrupted his thoughts. "I do need to sleep one of these nights," he grumbled.

"After we get back from the arena. Once we're finished, we'll take you to a nice shady tree for you to nap under."


Flora didn't expect her friends to decline her invitation for a ride to Linphea. They told her that they'll make a surprise entrance Linphea will never forget. She wasn't shocked but accepted her friends' decision.

"Flora? The car is here to take you to the hospital."

"Thank you Lucy. I'll be down in a minute. I just have to grab some books."

Whenever Flora comes home she likes to go down to the hospital and read to the children and the other patients. Making their stay at the hospital more enjoyable. Flora donates her time and money to the hospital. Before the hospital use to lack medicine and other supplies. They couldn't afford to take care of most of their patients and sent most of them home to get even more sick. One day when Queen Alessandra was pregnant with Miele, the royal family was taking their stroll in the heart of Linphea. The Queen's water broke and had rushed her to the hospital. Waiting for Miele to be born, Flora took notice that the hospital was gloomy. There she decided to help the hospital and volunteer to make it a less gloomy place.

Inside the car Flora asked, "Did you get those two dozen yellow lilies I asked for?"

"They're waiting for you at the hospital."

"What about the supplies? Are they all in top shape?"

"No, the hospital is lacking some supplies and are running low. We'll need to order more."

"Is the supplier not making his side of the deal?"

"He's been giving us less than we ordered."

"Is there anyone else that can supply us the supplies?"

"The hospital we're working on in Knightly has good suppliers that'll give us even better products for a lower price."

"Did you say Knightly?"

"Yes, the other hospital we're working with. They've been really happy with the help you've given them and would like it if you came and visited. It's one of the things I mentioned earlier this morning."

"Of course. Make an appointment and get back to me."

"Already made one. You're scheduled in two weeks."
