I'd like to thank bloomofsparks7, Phantom Theresa fan, and SKY_PIRATE THEIVE for putting my story on their favs list, and bloomofsparks7, petsrock109, and SKY_PIRATE THIEF for putting my story on the alert list. And I will thank SKY_PIRATE THIEF and petsrock109 for reviewing. If you hadn't, the last chapter wouldn't be up. (Sorry, I was so excited to put it up I forgot to add this into it.) So anyway, on with the story!
Home Sick
After the boys left, the girls (well except for Flora and Tecna) started talking all about the boys.
"He so likes you, Musa!" Stella said.
"Yeah!" Bloom chimed in. "He totally dropped his number on the way out. You should call him!"
"Um, no way!" Musa exclaimed. "They just left! What reason would I have for that?"
"He won't ask for a reason," Stella said, rolling her eyes. "He'll be so happy you called!"
"Girls, would you please give me a hand?" Tecna asked the, beginning to get tired.
"You're just upset we're not talking about Timmy," Stella said.
Tecna got so angry she almost dropped Flora. Musa and Bloom came over to help. Stella sighed, and then followed. They brought Flora to her room and laid her down on the bed.
"I'm going to call us in sick," Stella said, walking out of the room. She had just picked up the phone when Tecna called out to her, "Stella! Wait!" Stella ran back into the room. She held up her hands in a What? sort of gesture.
"Two of us should go in and get homework for us to do." Tecna said. Stella, Bloom and Musa all just gaped at her.
"You want us to have to do homework?" Musa demands.
"Don't act like you didn't know you'd have to make it up anyway," Tecna replies, rolling her eyes. "I'm willing to go,"
"Me too," Musa sighs. Stella runs back to the phone and dials.
"Wait! You report us sick, Musa!" She calls at the last minute. Musa picks up the phone just as Linda, the secretary they met on their first day, answers.
"Hello?" Linda asks politely.
"Um yeah, I'd like to report three girls sick," Musa says uncertainly.
"Tell her we have the flu!" Stella whispers in her ear. Musa nods.
"What are their names?" asks Linda.
"Stella, Bloom, and Flora, they have the flu," Musa replies.
"Oh, the girls I met on the first day! You must be … Musa or Tecna?" She asks.
"Musa," Musa answers.
"Aw yes, Musa. How's school going?" Linda asks.
"Great. Um, I have to go," Musa says as Stella waves her arms wildly.
"Of course, I'll put in the report, goodbye!" Linda says.
"Bye!" Musa says. The second she hangs up Stella spins her around so she's facing the window. She sees Riven peeking in their window. She gasps. What was he doing there?
"I told you he likes you," Stella says triumphantly as Riven notices her looking at him and ducks down. "Oh, it's almost 7:00. You and Tecna should get ready for school."
Tecna and Musa got ready for school and headed out the door. "Bye!" They called over their shoulders. Bloom and Stella waved. Tecna rushes back in and talks to Bloom and Stella.
"Girls, if Flora wakes up, have her eat nothing but soup and water. Don't let her get up, and she shouldn't be doing much thinking in this state. If she says she can't remember anything, call me." Tecna said. The two girls nodded. Tecna ran back outside.
While Tecna was inside, Musa had been resting against a tree. Riven popped out from behind it and she almost screamed.
"What are you doing here?" She hissed, somewhat annoyed that he had scared her.
"I came to see if I could walk you to school," Riven said.
"I can walk myself, but you can tag along." Musa replied. Then Tecna came out. The two of them set out, with Riven close behind. They had just gotten outside when both Helia and Timmy came running up to them.
"Tecna!" Timmy called, and started talking to her about some new, high tech gadget thing he had gotten. Helia caught up to them.
"Where's Flora?" He asked worriedly.
"She fell asleep after you left and hasn't woken up since. Stella and Bloom are staying home to take care of her." Musa answered. Helia nodded, somewhat less worried. Then he spotted Sky and Brandon and hurried over to tell them the news.
Back inside, Bloom and Stella had settled themselves on the window seats in Flora's room.
"I can't believe they wouldn't believe us!" Stella exclaimed.
"I know!" Bloom cried. "Wait, you're talking about the force field, right?" When Stella nodded she continued. "How else could we have fought off those guys?" Stella shrugged.
"I don't know. But why do you think we were able to do it?" She asked.
"Maybe we're, I don't know, magical or something!" Bloom suggested. Just then they heard Flora moan slightly.
"I think she's waking up!" Bloom gasped. Flora opened her eyes.
"Where am I?" Flora asked sleepily.
"Shh, don't worry, your safe sweetie," Bloom said, worried for Flora's health. Flora tried to sit up only to be pushed back down again by Stella.
"Oh no, honey, your laying in bed and relaxing. Tecna's orders," she said.
"But what about school? They'll think I ditched!" Flora was becoming more panicked by the second.
"Calm down, this isn't safe!" Bloom said, also starting to panic.
"Musa took care of it, don't worry," Stella said soothingly. "Are you hungry?" Flora didn't answer, but her stomach growled loudly so it didn't matter.
"Soup and water coming right up," Bloom said, laughing as Flora blushed. She walked out of the room and into the kitchen. Then Stella became serious.
"You do remember who we are, right Flora?" Stella asked anxiously. Flora nodded. Then Bloom came back in with 3 bowls of soup and bottles of water. The two helped her sit up against pillows so she could eat. Then Bloom took a bathroom break, and Stella went to answer the phone. That's when Flora saw the piece of paper on the window seat. It was obviously Helia's handwriting. She read the poem on it and smiled content. The girls came back in only to find her asleep, smiling, and clutching the poem to her chest.
I will not update again until I get 3 reviews. Thanks!
