Chapter 11: Food fight

MUSA POV

Everyone was gathered in Stella and Brandon's room, we were having a meeting about the incident awhile ago. So that ment Flora and Helia weren't here, they were the victims so we gotta think of a way to get everyone all buddy buddy again.

"I know what the plan was and I did it" Riven pointed his finger at Timmy, this meeting wasn't going too well.
"Yes, yes and I'd like to compliment on your job well done. But please, next time try to be a little more gentle" Timmy gulped with his hands up as Riven glared at him.
"Can you two just stop it? Everything went well so just shut up" Layla got in between the two, she always hated seeing grown men argue about nonsense things.
"Whatever" Riven groaned and turned to me. "He started this"

It was already 6 30pm and the guys have been arguing for the past hour, it's driving us insane.

"Lets just agree on this: we all go with the flow" I gave Riven a quick hug and turned to the others, we seem to be in the same page.
"Okay, everyone's good?" Sky was by the door and we all nodded, it was almost time for dinner and someone should really wake Helia soon. "Now that's settled, we should really plan out our next move"

He opened the door and we all gasped, Helia was standing by the door with a very sleepy Flora beside him. Flora had her arm wrapped around his upper arm while she scratched her eye, looks like she just woke up.

"H-hey man" Sky smiled, he looked a bit shocked. We all did.
"Hey" Helia greeted back, Flora just nodded since she looked really tired.
"Uhmm.." Bloom stood up and then walked over to Sky's side, she gave out a nervous smile. "H-how long.." she gulped. "How long were you standing outside?"

Helia stared at Bloom for a while and turned to Flora, she was dozing off again.

"Not that long" he smiled down at Flora and poked her cheek.
"Shoo" Flora softly swatted his arm away.
"Oh, well, come on in." Bloom looked at us and smiled.

The four of them took seats on the couch since Flora was still napping, Riven was avoiding Helia's eyes since he didn't know what to do next.

"You okay?" I whispered to him, Riven looked pretty annoyed.
He nodded his head and grunted. "I'm fine."

Stella suddenly spelled up some clothes and tossed them over to Helia and Flora, we were going to a fancy restaurant tonight and Stella wanted us to have appropriate attire.

Flora was resting her head on Helia's shoulder while the poor guy had to balance the white dress and tux on his occupied arms.

"Uhmm.. Flora" Helia moved his shoulders a bit to wake her up. "Stella's got something for you"
"What it is?" she yawned, Helia smiled as he stared at her.
"This" he gave her the white dress.

Flora took the dress and rolled her eyes over to Stella, that had to be the smallest dress she had ever seen. It was a tube top dress that only reached until her knees and the dress was definetly fitted, it had floral ruffles as the skirt and some straight lined pattern on the top. It was an Ivory Eyelet lace dress, of course Stella had to get the strapped sandals to go with it.

"Seriously, Stel?" Flora groaned and sat back, she hated too revealing clothes.
"Hot and gorgeous, that's the theme for tonight" Stella flashed her a huge smile, she gave us clothes as well but Flora had to have the sexiest one.
"Well..." Flora crossed her arms and raised her eyebrow. "What did you and the other girls get?"

Stella grinned and snapped her fingers, and in front of Flora 5 dresses were revealed. First up was a cutout coral red dress, that is for moi. Second was Layla's peach Ruffle dress, that knee length high dress is really perfect for dancing. Third was Stella's famous Odyssey black dress, she made it herself you know? Tecna's dress was a baby pink blush dress, it had a black belt and straps. And last was Bloom's light blue wave style dress, the strap was too loose on her so Stella just ripped it off.

"Oh." was all Flora could say, she hated the fact that Stella is making her show off some skin.

Helia snickered, it was a domino effect actually. Brandon started to laugh, Bloom started to giggle, the next thing we knew everyone was already laughing.

"This is not funny at all" Flora pouted, she was red as a beet.
Stella twirled her way in between Flora and Helia, she took a seat next to them. "I know, it's hot!"
"You got that right, Stel!" I laughed and pointed my finger at Flora.

But, of course, I quickly withdrew it remembering that we weren't in good terms. Flora turned in silence, she looked uneasy. Great. Even Helia was averting his eyes away from me, I didn't even do anything to him.

"Uhmm.." I started to get up, too much drama and I can't jeopordize everything.
"Musa" Flora spoke up, now that sent shivers down my spine.
I turned around and stared at my half smiling friend. "Can you do my hair, Flo?"

One thing to always remember is that Flora will always be a forgiving person, even if it isn't her fault. We needed to get things going and one way to do that is to remove the problem and continue with the fun, Flora and I are best friends so this misunderstanding was nothing. But for Riven and Helia, that's a whole different story.

"Come on" I pulled Flora away from Stella and Helia, we needed some music and nature bonding time.
"Muse" Riven called out with a disapointed tone.
"Babe, go and play with Helia." I winked at him, bold move but it was worth a shot. "We'll be back in 15 minutes"

With that I ran out of the room with Flora behind me and was eyeing on her room, I can't have her seeing the mess Layla made. Well, I helped.

We both entered the room and I jumped on the bed so things won't start out so awkwardly between us, I just hate having those uneasy spaces when your with your best friend.

"Do you think I should put my hair down?" I began to untie the ribbons Stella had placed since it looked good with the dress.

Flora didn't say anything, she just sat next to me and smiled. Yay. Crisis is over and all I need to do is apologize and it'll be smooth sailing from here, I bet Helia and Riven are patching up right now.

"I'm really sorry about awhile ago, Musa" Flora frowned and took the ribbons from me, she played with it and tied a knot on her finger.
"What're you talking about? Don't even blame yourself, I should be the down saying sorry here." My voice trailed off, it was never easy apologizing to Flora. She's the nicest girl in the group and it'll be a huge crime getting her down.
"No, it's my fault. I was just so worried about Helia that I lost control of my anger, I never felt that scared Muse." Flora stood herself up behind me and began to brush my hair, distracting herself was a way for her to not cry.
I gulped and felt my forehead heat up, this was just a misunderstanding. "You really love him, don't you?" I turned to her and smiled.

At first Flora looked back at me with shock but she soon realized that the question wasn't for joking around, I was dead serious.

"Yeah" she giggled, finally we can have some positive aura.

I gave Flora a hug and snapped my fingers, our dresses appeared in front of us and I grinned at her. The horror in her face could've only made my day any better if it weren't for Stella, it was fine and all that she got Flora a sexy dress but the rest of us didn't need it. I think.

"Let's turn you into that sexy Godess" I gave her a deviouse smile, make over time.

HELIA POV

"Under and pull!" Stella was fixing Brandon's tie, he's a hopless man when it comes to formal wear.

I was watching everyone, except for Riven, and they looked really happy with each other. Brandon and Stella looked good together, just remove all the duties and responsibilities Brandon will soon face as King of Solaria and the both of them will probably have a great life.

"No, Sky." Bloom was removing the tiara from her head, Sky had been trying to get Bloom to wear it for the past minutes. "It doesn't look good with the dress."
"But it looks good on you" Sky tilted her head up so Bloom could face him, the crimson red girl was practically trying to stop herself from kissing the man in front of him.

They won't have a hard time in the future, I mean the King of Erakleyon and Queen of Sparx hitting it off? A lot of people will love that, but Bloom and Sky'll manage everything, their just perfect together.

"Stop, no. Nabu, no, I mean it." Layla was trying to hold on to Nabu's hands, the poor guy never liked those cuffs.
"Layla, my love, I know this looks nice but I just don't get why I have to wear such uncomfortable clothes" Nabu laughed as he grabbed Layla by the waist, this was his signature move.
"Oh fine" Layla stuck her tongue out and took the cuffs from his wrist. "Since I love wearing comfortable clothes"

And another perfect couple, Nabu is the only guy in our group that never got jealous. Sky had his days, Brandon's just hiding his insecurity, and we all know how Riven is.

"Timmy, can you place this clip on top?" Tecna tossed a butterfly clip to Timmy which really complimented her dress.
"Sure thing, Tec" Timmy, nervously, approached his seated girlfriend.
"Ow!" Tecna scratched the part where Timmy, I think, punctured her head with the clip.
"I'm so sorry" Timmy kissed her on the head.
Tecna laughed and took Timmy's hand "It's okay, no severe harm done"

Even Timmy beated me with this love thing, how am I ever going to get Flora?

'BZT'

"Oh no" I gulped, it was my phone.

I took it out and didn't really want to check who the messenger was, it was so obvious that I'll just get pissed when I see it. But I must, it's the only way for me to know if I need to take things to a whole new level with Flora.

"Flora's looking really b-e-a-utiful tonight, Helia. To bad you can't see her beauty right now, I should know, I'm getting a great view"

What the hell. I froze, no, I was petrified. That guy, that good for nothing pervert is looking at my Flora.

"Helia?" Riven called out.

I ran out of the room and checked Layla and Musa's room, nope, they weren't there. Wait a minute, Musa's standing outside my and Flora's room. Wasn't she with Flora?

"Musa!" I ran to her, my heart's beating really fast right now.
"Oh, hey Helia. What's up?" she answered calmly.
"Where? She? You?" I was lost with words, I just could't think straight.
"Changing" she giggled, lucky enough Musa understood me. "Flora made me step out since she didn't want me to see her, naked."

I chuckled and backed away, she didn't have to say that at all. My cheeks were feeling hot and my knees were getting weak, teasing a guy in love is always fun, isn't it?

"I should..." I clapped my hands and pointed back to Stella and Brandon's room "Er... Go back now."
"Yeah, it's for the best" she joked.

The door behind Musa creeked open, I diverted my gaze on the person behind the musical fairy.

"Helia..?"

FLORA POV

"Oh, look at the time" Musa grinned at my direction. "I better be going now, who knows what Riven's doing with those formal clothes"

She dashed away leaving me and Helia out in the hallway, maybe apologizing wasn't for the best.

"Uhmm.." I turned to Helia, he was just staring at me like there was something wrong with my face.

I couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy, with the news the girls told me awhile ago how could I even face him now?

"Anything wrong?" I looked at him, trying to contain my emotions.
He blinked and back away a bit. "N-no" he gulped. "No! Uhmm.. Everything's fine"
"Oh" I bit my lower lip, this was getting embarassing.

We stood by the door of our room in silence, in a very awkward silence. I should probably do something, Helia looked really uncomfortable.

"A-are the others done?" I spoke up, but to my luck my voice squeaked out the words.
"Yeah" he chuckled, at least someone's happy now.

"Fleur!" Stella, magnificently, read out the name of the restaurant that we were to dine in.

We all stared at the 5 stared restaurant that our dear old frend, Stella, constructed for us. Fleur originated from Linphea and is now well known across the magical dimmension, you know it's the best since Stella herself asked to franchise their restaurant in Solaria.

"I gotta hand it to you, Stel..." Layla swung her arm around Stella's neck. "This has got to be, without a doubt, the only normal thing in your resort."
"Why, thank.." Stella jolted her head up to Layla and glared at her. "WHAT?"

Layla laughed and grabbed Nabu's hand, she ran, in heels, inside the restaurant to avoid the in coming fight.

"Easy sugar, let's get some food first THEN you can go play with your friends" Brandon pushed Stella up the stairs.

We all followed, laughing in the background, it was just a sight to see.

Two men stood beside the door, they were wearing the Solarian uniform. They bowed as Stella gracefully made her way to the entrance, Layla was waiting beside the two men as well.

They opened the huge doors and a bright light exited through it, if Stella had warned us about this then I should've brought my sunglasses with me.

"Oh, wow" Bloom said in awe, she had her vision back.

We all shook our heads and looked what was in front of us, Fleur still had it's original look. Stella didn't change a thing, she didn't even put any plastic plants to cheat her way with the decorations.

"This is awesome, Stel!" I hugged her with glee, she's the best.
"I know, I know." she hugged me back.
"Ma'am" a voice behind us spoke up.

Stella and I turned to see none other than Jones, he was wearing what the other waiters were wearing. The traditional Linphean clothes, but it had a hint of Solaria as they've the crest pinned to their chests.

"Shall I take you to your seats?" he pointed, with his arm extended, over to the two paired tables.
"Thank you, dear" Stella nodded and smiled at me, of course.

Vines hanging around the walls, petals freely falling from the ceiling, real scented flowers were surrounding the room. But the best thing about Fleur was the center piece of the restaurant, a pink carnation that stood on top a branched fountain.

"Ahem" Helia held out the chair for me, I was too busy admiring the fountain that I didn't notice him at all.
"Oh, thanks" I smiled and took my seat.

Our seating was like back in the resort, we we paired with someone. But this time everyone was closer this time, we weren't spreaded out. Helia and I were next to Riven, Musa, Tecna, and Timmy while Bloom and Sky were next to Stella, Brandon, Layla, and Nabu.

"What's with the long table, Stel?" Tecna pointed over to the table next to the fountain, there was a chef standing behind it.
"Dessert area darling" Stella lightly clapped her hands and waiters appeared in front of our tables.

They each laid a small silver tray in front of us and we waited for the big reveal, as the waiter serving Stella and Brandon picked up the cover the rest of them followed.

"Bon appettite" Jones kissed his hand and made his way to the door.

The food was really amazing, the decor was stunning, and I was dining with great company. Helia was seated in front of me trying to cut the 3rd dish, a steak served with wine sauce.

"Need help?" I giggled and scooted over to his side.
"Just..." Helia grunted as he tried to knife his way through the other side of the meat. "A little.." he sighed, almost there. "More."

He sat back, tired, it was like fighting with one of their dragons back in Red Fountain. He took a bite of his food and sighed again, that was one piece and there was more to go.

I smiled and admired him for a bit, I never really got to look at his face for more than 5 seconds. But right now, out of all the nights we've been together, I had the chance to take a good look at him. He's a really handsome guy, of course I already knew that, but it was something else when I get to look at him more

"Uhmm?" Helia took the napkin from the table and began to wipe his face.
"Oh.." I giggled, I never thought he would be the insecure type. "Don't worry, I was just.."

Oh, great. I gulped and sat back on my seat, not one of my best sentences.

"Just?" Helia placed the napkin back on the table.
"Uhhh.." I glanced away, trying to think of a word. "Just wondering if I could sit next to you?"

Helia stared at me for a moment and his cheeks began to redden, I took that color change as a yes so I just giggled and got comfortable.

"D-do you.." Helia's voice was choked a bit. "Do you want some desserts?"

He pointed over to the dessert table and Stella was already grabbing some sweets, we were already finish with the meal so why not enjoy some treats?

"Sure thing" I motioned to get up but Helia stopped me.
"Allow me" he smiled and stood up.

I watched as he made his way through Riven and Musa's table, looks like Musa was right, Helia and Riven patched things up considering Riven's harmless prank just now.

'Sorry' Musa mouthed with shame, she glared at Riven and slapped the back of his head.

I laughed and gave her a thumbs up, friends will always stick up for friends.

Studying the environment is one of the best things to do, but studying the environment around your friends is the better.

What was everyone doing? Well, Tecna looked liked she was making some tea for a very full Timmy, that guy loved the stuffed tomatos. Stella was feeding Brandon some chocolate coated straberry's, at least Stella's having fun. Bloom and Sky were enjoying some coffee, they weren't in to those too sweet desserts. Layla and Nabu were just talking since they just finished eating their meal, you can never jump to eating again if you're full. While Musa, well, she was just listenting to some tunes while Riven was scolding her about that smack on the back.

I giggled and saw that Helia was on his way back to the table, he had a plate of custard pie.

He passed by Riven again and gently tried to balance himself so that an accident won't occur, but, of course, it happened. Helia's foot got caught on the chairs leg and he accidentaly dumped the pie on Riven's head. Uh oh.

Musa looked at Riven and started to laugh like there was no tomorrow, Riven had pie all over his hair and some dripped on his coat.

"You are so sweet, Riven!" Musa continued to mock her boyfriend.
Riven clenched his fist and glared at Helia, he stood up and wiped all the pie peices off. "Damn you man!"
"I am so sorry, Riv" Helia backed away slowly.
"Sorry? Do you know how sticky I'll get? Do you know how hard it'll be to get the sugar out of my hair?" Riven snapped, he turned to Musa who was still laughing with teary eyes.
"You should really.." Musa gasped for air. "See youself!" she held on to her stomach.
"Oh, you like that don't you?" Riven grinned and took something from his plate.

Helia ran to our table and took his seat, let the show begin.

"Lets see how you like it!" Riven grabbed the leftover spaghetti from his plate and threw it over to Musa.
"Eep!" Musa ducked and the spaghettie went flying straight to Stella.

We all gasped as the meatballs rolled down the Solarian princess's dress, Riven will be getting it in... 5..

"What. The. Hell." Stella squeaked as the gooeyness of the meatball reached her lower back.

4..

Stella reached for the item in question and squeezed the sauce out, you could clearly see the sauce appear on her dress.

3..

"Who threw this?" Stella removed the pasta from her hair, it even covered her face.

2..

"He did it!" Musa yelled out as she pointed over to Riven, she was smiling at him.
"Traitor" Riven glared at his girlfriend but he quickly looked at the raging blonde fairy.

And 1..

"YOU ARE SO GOING TO GET FUCKED!" Stella got out of her seat and stood up, she was giving Riven the cold eye.

But, as usual, to make things worse guacamolli suddenly hit Stella's face.

A laugh was heard and we all turned to the culprit, it was none other than Tecna. She was laughing beside Timmy who wasn't on his seat anymore, he was hiding beside Tenca.

"I am so sorry, I couldn't help myself" Tecna laughed harder.
"That's how you want it, fine" Stella wiped the avocado sauce from her face and calmly smiled at us, this isn't going to end well.
"Now, now, princess.." Brandon, as the great boyfriend that he is, knew where this was going. Stella is going to attack any minute. "Let's just sit down and.."

But before he could finish his sentence Stella grabbed her leftovers and threw it at Tecna, she recieved some cheesy goodness.

"FOOD FIGHT!" Musa yelled and threw their table to the ground.

Helia did the same and pulled me to take cover, everyone began throwing food and it was just flying everywhere.

"I'm so getting you, Helia!" Riven yelled in the background, he was near.

Helia and I laughed, now was the time to get some ammo. I looked around and saw that there were some pie scattered on the floor, we also had some leftovers flying around that were in mint condition to use in battle.

"Good luck" I giggled and took some pie.

I stood up and began to throw my bullets at everyone, Helia got up after a few seconds. Riven was the most covered, he had mixed food all over him.

"There you are!" Riven spotted Helia, he was holding up a cake, a chocolate cake.
"Oh no" Helia began to throw some liquids over to Riven.

But nothing, Riven threw the cake over to Helia. Or so he thought, his aim was a couple of inches off so the cake was eyeing me.

"Oh, good gooey gumdrops" I sighed and braced for impact.

The small cake landed on my face and immediately dropped itself to my dress, at least it tasted good.

"You okay?" Helia laughed and began to wipe the cream off my face, he wasn't using a napkin so I was getting him sweetened as well.
"Peachy" I smiled and thought of something.
"Don't worry, we'll get him." Helia turned and took some soup from the table.
"Really?" I tapped his shoulder and raised my hand.

Helia turned around and I smushed his face with the chunk of cake that landed on my shoulder, it's the least I could do for taking that hit for him.

"Really?" he chuckled, Helia wiped the chocolate goodness off from his cheeks.
"Yeah" I laughed and helped him. "At least I know you're sweet."

Helia took a glass of water from the table and poured it over his face, now why didn't I think of that? But there were still bits of cake on his cheeks, it looked better though.

"Flora!" Layla yelled, she was sitting behind her table with a very messed up Nabu.
"We're done for!" I laughed and pointed at the two remaining pairs, Musa with Riven and Stella with Brandon.

Helia chuckled and we watched the fight that was taking place in front of us, this'll be a long night.

"What do you think we'll be doing tomorrow?" Helia rested his chin on his arm, he had food all over his body.

I wiped away the remaining chocolate bits on his face and smiled, Musa already told me what Stella had planned.

"We're going on a hunt" I stuck my tongue out.
"A hunt? You mean we're going to kill something?" Helia's eyes widened, he went a little pale.
"No." I giggled. "You'll just have to wait and see."

I'm guessing you all know what's in store for the next chapter :P But I promise that Helia will confess soon.
