Chapter 11:
Fast forward to birthday ball
Floras pov
I woke up from a dreamless sleep, today is my 18th birthday but I don't officially turn 18 until 8pm.
I jumped out of bed in a happy mood; I grabbed my usual outfit (from season 6) and hummed a cheerful tune. I skipped over to Blooms bed and gently shook her awake; she groaned, "5 more minutes mum".
I giggled and shook her more and she opened her eyes sharply but then engulfed me in a hug "Happy Birthday Flo" she exclaimed. I giggled more.
All of a sudden I felt more arms wrap around me and I was suddenly in the middle of a group hug, we all laughed.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLORA" they all yelled, then pulled apart. "We have some presents for you so do the boys but they will have to give you theirs at the ball" Stella exclaimed handing me a pile of presents.
I gasped, "guys you didn't need to get me anything" they all gasped and had shocked expressions. "Yes we did Flo its your birthday" cried Aisha.
I sighed and started to open the presents. The first was off Bloom; it was 3 books about different species of plants.
The second was off Stella, it was two new dresses. One had a floral print and the other was white with roses along the hem.
The third was off Tecna, it was 2 new plants. One was a climbing rose and the other was pink carnation.
The next was off Musa; she got me new earrings and a cd of my favourite band.
The last was off Aisha; she got me a book of flowers, and lots of packets of seeds.
"Thank you girls" I said engulfing them into another group hug, I caught a glimpse of the clock in front of me and gasped. It read 11:15am.
"Girls we need to head to Lynthea, are you all packed?" I said, "yes Flora" said Bloom as they all gathered their suitcases into the lounge.
Stella got her sceptre and shouted "LYNTHEA HEAR WE COME, TRANSPORTUS LYNTHEA". We all were teleported to the palace of Lynthea.
Once we arrived on Lynthea we all went for a picnic to celebrate my birthday after I saw my parents.
I had a wonderful time with the girls and the boys; they joined us at the palace as a surprise.
We were all sitting by a lake talking "Happy birthday my flower" said Helia giving me a kiss. I blushed as everyone stared at us smiling, "thank you Helia," I said. "Close your eyes" he demanded and I obliged shutting my eyes, "hold out your hands," he said and again I obliged.
I suddenly felt something in my hands so I opened my eyes; I was holding a velvet pink box. My eyes widened when I opened it, inside was a pair of rose gold flower earrings with a matching necklace.
I gasped and looked up at him, he was smiling when I tackled him into a hug. "Helia they are beautiful, I love it, I love you," I said smiling and kissed him with so much passion.
"I love you too," he said as we pulled apart. We all sat by the lake until we needed to head back to the palace to get ready for the ball.

There was a knock on my bedroom door, I quickly ran to open it and was greeted by 6 boys all wearing tuxedos.
I let them in and their jaws all dropped when me and the girls all stood in a line in front of them, me and the girls all laughed.
After the boys recovered from their trances, they walked to their girlfriends. I smiled when Helia bowed towards me and I curtsied.
"You look breath-taking my flower" he said as he kissed my hand, I blushed "why thank you my prince you don't look too bad yourself," I giggled.
"Come on lets go its nearly time for Flora to make her big birthday girl entrance" squealed Stella as she was escorted out with Brandon.
We all laughed and followed her out but they all let me lead them to the ballroom doors, once outside the doors I went towards the back of the group with Helia linking arms with me.
"Princess Bloom of Domino and Prince Sky of Eraklyon" said the announcer as they walked through the doors; they announced everyone's arrival.
"Princess Stella of Solaria and Brandon of Eraklyon"
"Princess Aisha of Andros and Prince Nabu of Tides"
"Princess Musa of Melody and Riven of the harmonic Nebula"
"Princess Tecna of Zenith and Prince Timmy of Cryos"
"Finally the birthday girl and her boyfriend, Princess Flora of Lynthea and Prince Helia of Knightly".
We walked down the grand staircase smiling and waving politely to the crowd below.
Helia led me to the middle of the ballroom as the crowd cleared a path towards the middle. We danced together closely for a while until the sound of my fathers voice interrupted the music.
"Thank you everyone for attending my daughter, Princess Floras, birthday ball. Today she turns 18, my wife and me are so happy to have her. She is a true blessing to both us and all that meet her," he said and I had tears in my eyes at his nice words.
He continued "we would like you all to put your hands together for Princess Floras speech" I gulped and blushed as he motioned for me to come towards the stage he was stood on.
I climbed the stage steps and bowed towards my father and mother and hugged them both, he handed me the microphone and walked towards my mother.
I gulped again as I turned to face the ballroom full of people, my cheeks started to heat up as I became very nervous but I searched the crowd and found the familiar blue eyes that I loved.
I smiled reassuringly at me and I immediately stopped being so nervous. I was about to make my speech when a loud explosion erupted and I was thrown to the ground.
