A/N Sorry guys, I just corrected this chapter because there were some (not sooo much) mistakes that were very annoying. I apologize, but you should understand I'm really busy (school and stuff. This is my senior year, so it's kinda imporant), but I didn't want to let you down, I wanted to give you another chapter. So I gave you a sucky chapter. By the by, about the flashbacks: if you don't understand: ASK me. (but ask me something specific) I want to thank you already for your reviews!! Me happy :) Next chappie this weekend or next week. xD

Chapter xi: Meet the friends (Pt ii)

I let my eyelids flutter in excitement and when he flops down next to me again I ask, stunned.

"Where the hell did you learn that, Sky?"

Yeah,… Sky?

Sky?

SKY?

I'm about to meet Stella's other friends since it's the day of the group date. It's slowly dawning upon me that these people –who are now strangely enough unknown to me- could have been my friends. And that is a rather bizarre feeling.

I hope I can (re) collect some memories. To be honest, that's the only reason why I agreed to go on a trip with people I have never –ever!- met. I mean, depending on the number of Sky's friends, I suppose I must recognize one person.

Sky…

You want to know what the hell that was during my make-out session with Alistair?

Well, I'd like to be informed to, so beep me if you catch anything.

There they are. Eleven backs turned towards me -3 known- leaning casually on the balustrade and quipping lightly.

I cough and stare at familiar faces.

"You're going to the summer house" Flora asked, composed. She tucked a strand of lost light chestnut hair behind her ear, causing her bracelets and earrings to tingle melodiously.

"Yeah… So?" I ask suspiciously.

"Oh nothing." She shrugged fake casually. "It's just that practically every crown prince of Eraklyon proposes there." My mouth fell open. A bee could've flown in, but I just sat there, in awe.

"Flora!" I then shrieked and hit her with a pillow.

"Hey, is there a pillow-fight going on here?" the door swung open and revealed Layla, with 6 cushions stuffed in her arms.

"And we're not invited?" Musa exclaimed, tripping over one of the pillows Layla just dropped on the floor.

"I have got to admit Musa," Tecna said with her usual serious expression."You're a natural."

"Hey!!" Musa cried out indignantly. She snatched a pillow, ready to attack.

"Chill Musa, not everyone can acknowledge your… talent." Stell snickered.

"Okay, that does it!" Musa screamed and lunged the cushion at the blonde.

"Ouch! You just broke my nail!"

"If you're not careful, you'll break something else!" Layla squealed. Stella screeched as she took the beating of the perfectly aimed pillow.

"Why am I always the victim?" she pouted. "Is it because I'm pretty?"

Five cushion-loaded hands were raised.

"STELLA!"

"So…hello." I look at their dumbfounded appearances. A girl with long dark blue pigtails comes forward firstly.

"I'm Scarlett Rose. A… friend of Sky." She puts out her hand.

"Musa. You're supposed to know that." She turns to the group. "She's way too polite." Next, a black girl approaches me and shakes my hand firmly.

"She's not the same." She comments. Who's next? Ah.

"I'm Tecna. Nice to meet you." she says stiffly. Is that a tear glistening in her eye? She pulls a mini computer out of her pocket and glares at the screen incredulously.

"She doesn't have magic." She steps away from me and walks into the embrace of a nerdy looking boy. Tom? Kenny? Timmy?

I close my eyes. I can feel her.

"There's one left." I speak more harsh than intended. She leaves the save company of her friends. Her hair is radiant as ever and her almond-shaped eyes sparkle serenely. She walks slowly and unsteadily. She does not offer a hand, but immediately places it on my heart. Her tanned eyelids cover her green orbs.

"She's not weak." She utters. "She's just…" she hesitates and bends forward, whispering in my ear "Broken." She twirls around and finishes her sentence otherwise to the group. "Hurt."

"You hurt me! God, you have no idea!"

"Bloom, I couldn't foresee this. This wasn't supposed to happen."

"Oh, I wasn't supposed to find out?"

"We were already engaged before I met you, Bloom." I stared at him, unbelievingly.

"How COULD you?!"

"I swear Bloom, this…"

"What? Is not what it seems? You mean, you're not betrothed to her? You're not going to dump me because you have to marry her? You did not fool me?"

"I…"

"You what?" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "You what?" I repeated, softer.

"I'm sorry." He offered lamely.

"No." I shook my head. "I am sorry." I felt I was about to crack, my eyes were starting to get moist.

"Congratulations." I managed to speak out and I finally turned my back at him.

Forever.

That's how it was supposed to be.

I can feel her anger and her pain as if I am her. I turn around, whilst flipping my hair back and face prince Sky. In all his royal glory. He smiles at me.

"You." I spit. "Son of a bitch."

A/N: Okay, Scarlette misplaced the flashback, but can you blame her? He hurt her. She's pissed. She's not sure if it's really her, if she's really Bloom, but that won't take long.

R&R : D

Xoxo

PS: I hate the new lay-out of FF, it took me half an hour to find out where the stats are. If you'll excuse me, now I have to find out how to upload a document. Excitement!

Winxprincess: oooh it sounds as if there's a lot of sugar in creaming soda. That kinda explains why you're high. You're just high on sugar. But I'm pretty sure it is not sold in our supermarket.

Hm yeah sorry about the Scarlett-Alistair part, but it had a purpose, you know! I mean, she had visions about Sky while she was kissing Alistair. I'm sure she finds that worth investigating.

Story-Goddess: thanx thanx :)

Firebloom101: I'm still working on it, as you see ;) Thanx for the review!! I always like new reviewers. Happy me :D xD

Destination's d e s t i n y: you have strange ways to express yourself, you know that? Radioactive reactions, huh? Everything alright? : D You call Stella an airhead? She could be right, you know..

Angelgrl31392: oh I knew what it meant : ) My Spanish isn't really fabulous, but that I did understand : ) It's nice to hear. And it doesn't really matter in which language : ) Know any other languages? Like um Latvian? Could be ; ) Bye!! xD
