She took a deep breath and inhaled the smell seawater and fresh air; the sun was shining and the deck was pretty quiet since it still was early in the morning. Layla would have loved this, Musa thought to herself. She had woken up covered in sweat after having a nightmare.

Darcy had been messing with her mind so much that she had started to have difficulties knowing reality from illusion. It was like she was living in a limbo of some kind; she had a hard time figuring out of she really here or if it was an illusion. When she saw Riven in the chamber yesterday she didn't know if he was really there; actually it was only when he got hurt she was sure that it was the real world and not one of Darcy's illusions again. She had lost count of how many times she thought she had escaped only for it to end badly and realizing it was an illusion all along.

What Riven did made no sense to her; she knew he knew he could have died if he had gotten hit wrong place, so why did he do it? He didn't even hesitate to do it; and she was so worried about him and when he had started bleeding she had freaked out. Words couldn't describe how relieved she was when Riven woke up; she had been so worried about him.

They had dumped the car not long from the gas station and walked to the nearest mall, to get clothes and other necessities to make it believable that they were just an ordinary couple, on their honeymoon. They bored the ship last night Must went straight to bed while Riven took a shower; what he did after that she didn't know but when she woke up this morning, Riven was sleeping on the floor next to the bed. She felt guilty for taken the bed when Riven still were hurt but she knew if he had anything against sleeping on the floor he would have made it known.

Maybe this wasn't a good idea playing newlyweds; especially after she had realized she had feelings for Riven. First of all she didn't know how he felt about her, he was so confusing and was sending her mixed signals; like not writing one word to her but then risking his own life to save her from Darcy.

She couldn't tell how long she had been out here but couples started to appear; so it was probably about breakfast time, so she had to head back to their cabin. She walked and entered the door to find Riven on his way out of the door; he pulled her further into the room and closed the door." Where have you been?"

"Out on the deck."

"You agreed I'm in charge; you can't go out without me or not telling me." It was clear to her he was mad but she hadn't done anything wrong.

"I went out to get some fresh air; I didn't think I had to ask you. Beside you were sleeping. If it is such a big deal i will tell you next time."

"Don't do it again" he said and he relaxed a bit. "Now that I'm up already, let's go have breakfast." Musa just nodded and followed him out; as they walked out on the deck they walked by lot of other couples on their way to breakfasts. Musa knew they needed to appear like a couple for this to succeed; she leaned into Riven and took his hand, as she whispered to him with a smile so people from the outside wouldn't think anything was wrong.

"We have to act like newlyweds weed; try looking happy."

"Why would i be happy if i just got marry, marriage is the end not the beginning? There is nothing to be happy about." Musa couldn't resist rolling her eyes at him, typical Riven. They sat down and to eat in peace when another couple sat down beside them; both Musa and Riven looked at the couple since they interrupted them.

"Hey you two most be new on-board I'm Kitty and this is my husband Rick. Uuu I just love saying that, my husband." The woman said and kept talking there was no stopping her; no matter how hard Riven and Musa tried to get away from, only when the couple left the table to get seconds they saw their only chance to get away from them. They made a run for it and looked at each other serious when they were back in the cabin.

"They were never going to let us leave." Musa said and Riven nodded.

"The next time those two are anywhere near us, we make a run for it right away. There is no way I will or can spend another minute with them."

"For once I agree with you "And then both busted out in laughter like two school kids running from the headmaster, for the first time in a long time they both laughed out of joy and that lighted the mood between them for the rest of the day.

"We need to find a place to stay but we also need money. And to make money we need a job, now where are we going to find a job out here?" Layla asked frustrated; they had been walking all night and hadn't seen any sign of civilization, not since they had left the hayloft.

"I know but we have to stay positive."

"What is that?" she pointed at a building, out in the horizon.

"Don't know."

"Well then there is only one way to find out." They kept walking towards the building and as they got closer to it they could see it was a farm. Outside on the fence there was a sign with the writing' help wanted'. A smiled spread across his face; for the first time today things were looking up for them.

He wanted desperately to take care of all of this so Layla didn't have to worry but he knew Layla and she would never allow him to take charge on this one. He would insult her if he tried so he resolved to what he knew, and that was trying to be positive for her.

"I think we just found the solution to our problem."

"Are you sure it is safe? That they will not find us here?"

"It is out in the middle of nowhere, the will never find us here."

"Let go inside and see if we can get a job." Layla said and they walked up to the house before they even step foot on the front porch, an old delicate looking woman walked out with a pitchfork in her hand, and it didn't look like she was afraid of using it.

"Ellen, the thefts is back!" she yelled and took a step towards them; the pitchfork was bigger than the woman and if Layla had to guess she would guess the woman were around 85, she seem to be one tough cookie. "You think can come back and rube me again? Well this time I'm home, let's see how tough you are now." Nabu and Layla didn't know what to do; if they had been looking at the scene from outside they probably would have laughed. But the woman looked like she meant business, before they could say anything another woman came running out the door.

"Mama; they are not thieves, the thieves were arrested yesterday." she took the pitchfork out of her mother's hand.

"She is right, we came because a sign outside said you were looking for help." Nabu added and the old woman looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Why didn't you tell me that then?" She said and before Layla or Nabu could answer, the younger woman answered.

"Sorry my mother is a little out of it but you get use to it after some time. I'm Ellen and this is my mother Dorothy but just call her mama, everyone ells does." Ellen reminded him a little of his own grandmother, with her gray hair and green eyes.

"I'm Layla and this is Nabu." Layla said polite.

"Why don't you two come inside so we can talk and relax a little, you look like you could use it."

"Sounds good, thanks."

Boom and Sky were sitting and having lunch at a little place just outside of Magix. Bloom who was now a brunette with hair to her shoulders tried her hardest not to laugh at her boyfriend who was sitting on the opposite side of the table.

Sky who once had what his mother described as golden blond hair; were now balled well not completely but almost. He hadn't thought about checking to see if the hair trimmer's setting were correct; before he had used it, it had resulted in a not so happy Sky. Now Bloom didn't think it looked that bad or it was funny but it was Sky's reaction she thought were funny.

Sky had always been a little weird about his hair, to quote Riven. He had special shampoo and conditioner for it and there was only one specific brand he could use for his hair. He always claimed it could be worst; he could be checking himself in every reflection he saw to check if his hair sat just right.

Then his friends would always come with examples of how extreme he could be at times; like the time he had ran out of the shampoo and he couldn't buy a new because some strike that made it impossible for the company to make more. Or the time he had pissed off Riven and Brandon by messing with their leva-bike; so they had taken his shampoo and switched it with salad Dressing, never had Bloom seen him that upset.

"It is not that bad." She said for the fourths time that day.

"You don't think anyone, will recognize me?" he asked quietly and she knew he was coming around.

"No I don't think so."

"Good." He took a bite of his sandwich and then asked." I think we should walk from here on, and not try to get a lift to the lake, what do you think?"

"We to play it safe, and getting somebody to take us to the lake is too risky, and i don't want to put anyone ells in any danger." She agreed with him.

"Then it is settled, of to the lake we go." He said and Bloom smiled as she remembered her first date with sky by the lake.

"Do you remember our first date was by the lake?"

"Yes." She saw Sky tends and his cheeks turned red; it was clear to Bloom that he was uncomfortable but why?

"Is something wrong?" she asked and he avoided looking at her as he answered.

"Nothing just that i had planned taking you there after the trip, before all of this happened of course."

"Why does it make you feel uncomfortable?"

"I'm not uncomfortable just a little nervous, that is all."

"Then why are you nervous?"

"You will understand soon." he just said and if Bloom had been Stella she wouldn't hadn't stopped until she got an answer she was satisfied with, but Bloom wasn't Stella so she just let it be for now.

"Okay but we are on the run, so i hope it isn't some kind of surprise. Don't know how much more i can take."

"let's just not talk about it." he said and got up from his seat and she did the same. He then gave her quick kiss on her cheek and they left the place.

A white winter landscape passed them by outside as the bus made it way to its destination. The radio was playing a song about a girl; who was heartbroken after finding out her boyfriend had cheated on her with her best friend.

Stella and Brandon were sitting in the last bus; Brandon had drifted off to sleep after being up all night to make sure Stella were safe, while she slept. She was starting to get a little worry; about meeting his parents. What if they didn't like her? Let's face it Stella thought: this wasn't going to be the good firsthand impression, she could just imagine how it would go.

They were going to knock on that door his parents were going to open the door and Brandon would say; hey mom and dad sorry to come out of the blue but my girlfriend Stella are on the run from some pissed off witches and some policeman is also after her, so we have to keep a low profile. Mind if we stay here?

Of course they wasn't going to like her, she had gotten Brandon involved in all of is.

She knew Brandon were close with his parents: and that was one of the things she loved about him, he really loved his family and friends. She had grown so much this past year and being with him was a big part of that, she had learn that love and friendship are far more important than royalty or dare she say it fashion.

Though she would love to get out of this clothes she was wearing; blue and gray were not the colors she preferred, a bright orange or some shades of pink- that was more her. What she wouldn't have given to shop in all of those boutiques they had passed on their way, but she knew she couldn't.

She let out a breath and looked down at him; her heart skipped a beat and a warm bubbly feeling spread out through her veins down to the tip of her toes. She really did love him though, even if his parents didn't like her she would still love him and maybe that was why it concerned her so much. Well she then just had to make sure to make the best impression she could under the circumstances.

She smiled at him even though she knew he couldn't see it or would notice it, she could handle anything with him by her side. And having her friends on her side too didn't hurt neither which reminded her she should probably remember to write to them when they got to safety.

As her mind started to wander off she found herself thinking about her parents; she really missed her father, she had always been a daddy's girl and this was the longest they had gone without talking to each other. She felt kind of sad thinking about it would be even longer before she could contact him or see him, but she knew it was for his own safety and hers.

And then there were her mother.

Now that was a whole other story; as a child Stella had looked up to her mother like most children do and when puberty set in she still did, but it wasn't so obvious anymore though. Her mother loved her she knew that even went they fought but that wasn't often.

At the age of 16 her parents called her into her father's office; she right away knew something was going on since both of her parents were going to be present, because lately they couldn't even be in the same room together. Stella hoped for the best but when she heard those three words; we are separating, she knew for sure her parents' marriage was over- but she didn't think it was going to be the end of her relationship with her mother.

It wasn't like she didn't have contact with her; they talked about once a month, more couldn't Stella take hearing about the new man in her mother's life. Stella didn't like her new stepdad and wouldn't accept him; so since her mother lived with the man Stella never visited her mother. When they once in a while saw each together it was usually at a restaurant only the two of them. It wasn't a relationship she dreamed about having with her but it would do for now, as long as her mother had Rico in her life

Oh she had been thinking so much her head was spinning; she needed something to do but she didn't want to wake up Brandon. She remembered that they had purchased a notepad and a pen; at the last stop so she carefully got it out of the bag without waking him.

She then started sketching dresses; she wasn't very good at the sketching part she had seen it done a lot better by Helia, but the designing the dress part was something none of her friends could beat her at. She sad for the next few hours and sketched away, she didn't even noticed the bus stopped when it did.

Flora walked out of the tent; she had been sleeping most of the day, Helia had woken her up a while ago with a kiss and told her he would be going out to take a look around their camp. Just as she stepped outside a piece of paper appeared in front of her; she bent down and picked it up. It was from Tecna; she could see it by the handwriting, she was the only one she knew who made e's in that way, that made them look like they were backwards. Probably because she most of the time used her computer.

She read the letter; Tecna described how their trip had been and where they were now and what their plan was from there on. Flora smiled; her friend had made it there safely and she thought she could read between the lines, that she was happy being with Timmy. Flora was glad that they were getting along so well and maybe Stella was right about those two being a couple before long.

They were all spread out through different realms and it was different seasons at they were .Where she and Helia were it was autumn; under the trees were big pile leaves in all difference shades of red and orange. The weather switched between warm and cold, like it couldn't decide if this was going to be a warm or cold autumn.

"I'm back."

"Find anything?" she turned around to face him and gave him a quick kiss.

"No nothing but forests for miles."

"Well I got a letter from Tecna and Timmy; while you were gone." She said and handed him the letter. "They are good; a little cold but fine."

"Good, anything from the others?" He asked hopeful and she shook her head.

"No not yet, maybe we should write to them." She suggested and took his hand.

"Good idea; where do we have the paper?"

"In the bag by the door; while you write I will make us some food." She answered but he didn't move, just looked at her like he couldn't get enough of her. It made her blush a little when she thought about last night, so she asked him something ells instead. "By the way have you got any idea of how to get this chain off me, so I can use my powers again?"

Flora pointed at the chain and Helia snapped out of the trance he was in. "No still don't know it, but that have to be one of our first priorities." If the trix found them they would all stand much better against them if the girls had their powers.

"Couldn't agree with you more, but we still need a plan so we can get back to ours normal lives at home."

"Working on it, think you can survive being out here with me till then." He teased and putted his arms around her waist.

"I'm quite enjoying having you all to myself. It reminds me off how we started out, in the woods all alone." It somehow seemed so long ago; she clearly remembered how shy she had been around him at first. First she thought she was making the whole thing up in her head; a nice guy like Helia wasn't interested in her, he probably had a girlfriend at home.

Then she found out there was no girlfriend at home and thought maybe, she wasn't quite sure if he actually liked her in that way. Only when Helia had asked her out she was sure and after that they had a wonderful time together. But when the summer came to an end she had been sad thinking that this was the end, they wouldn't have time for each other when they came home to their busy lives, but Helia had assured her it wouldn't and he had been right.

"No friends to fight with each other or interrupt us. Wow that almost seems like a lifetime ago."

"I know."

Tecna and Timmy hadn't like most of the others escaped the cold whiter weather; even though they were indoors in what should have been a warm and cozy cottage. They could still feel the cold air trying to succeed in get inside and in some places of the cottage it had. Like the room Tecna had been sleep in, it had been ice cold even with the five blankets she had over her.

Timmy's room hadn't been much better to sleep in and that made her feel a little better, about her sleeping arrangement. Timmy's family only used the cottage in the summer so the heat was turned off and Timmy didn't know how to turn it on.

So when Timmy went groceries shopping with the money Timmy's mother had left behind; in the cottage from the last time they were up here, Tecna went on a little treasure hunt for the blueprints to the cottage. She wasn't going to spent one more night in that cold; she needed to find out how to turn the heat on because right now the only place there was warm were the kitchen and the dining/living room.

She had been doing it for a while now and was starting to feel uncomfortable; she didn't want to go through his family's stuff or accidentally see something she wasn't meant to see. She turned left and opened the door to what seemed to be a laboratory.

She looked carefully around in the lab; she had forgotten everything about the blueprints and was now looking through some paper with research about something called the x project. She was so cut up in it that she forgotten all about the blueprints to the cottage and the cold.

"What are you doing?" She turned around to see Timmy in the doorway; she felt a little an embarrassed getting caught going through the research.

"I was looking after the blueprints."

"In my father's research papers?" He asked and gave her a small smile as he made his way over to her.

"No; I got sidetracked for a moment, trying to find out what the x project is."

"It was a project that failed; my father tried to make a cure for something, what it was I don't know he never told me just that it failed."

"Your father is a scientist?"

"Yes like many other in my family before him."

"Is your mother too?"

"No she is a kindergarten teacher. What about your parents?"

"My mother is a housewife and my father is a businessman." They started talking and somehow forgot all about time or finding the blueprints; they talked about their childhoods and their families. Before they knew it, it was time for dinner.

"I would have cleared the house up a little better if I knew you were coming." Elizabeth Brandon's mother said as she and Stella were washing the dishes after dinner together. Things were going well; at first his parents had been surprised to see them but they had given them a warm welcome after that.

Elizabeth had cooked an amazing dinner and Stella had offered to help her with the dishes, while Brandon and his father Tony went into the living room and watched TV. Stella so far liked Brandon's parents and didn't know what she had been worrying about.

"Don't think about it, your house feels very… homely." She said for lack of words in fact she wasn't sure if it was a word; there were warm colors and picture frames everywhere in the house, it was a lot different from the palace she had grown up in.

"Thank you." As Stella and Elizabeth did the dishes, in the living room Brandon was talking with his father. His father was sitting in his armchair while Brandon was sitting on the sofa, both watching the game on the TV.

"So is it serious between you two?" His father asked out of the blue, not taking his eyes off the TV while Brandon looked at him a little confused.

"Yes." It surprised him a little his father had asked him that, since it was mostly his mother who was meddling in his love life. His father usually only got involved when Brandon asked him to or came to him for advice.

"I'm just a little puzzled; that you hadn't told us about her sooner than." His father said casually and took a sip of his beer.

"Well things have been complicated, with Stella being kidnapped." He answered truthfully, still a little thrown out of it that his father was asking him this.

"I understand that, but you told us you started dating in the summer." He reminded Brandon of what he had told his parents earlier.

"We kind off broke up for a while and then got back together right before she got kidnapped."

"Well that explains why you didn't visited us this summer, but Brandon are you sure you want to get involved in all of this?" for the first time in the conversation Tony looked at his son and he looked pretty confused now, what was all these questions about?

"What do you mean dad, don't you like Stella."

"I have only known her for a few hours and I'm sure she is a nice girl and you know I have nothing against royalty but…"

"But what?" He really hoped his father wasn't going to say something negative about Stella or that they should spilled up. He loved his parents but he didn't know what he would do if they didn't approve of Stella, he couldn't choose between them, but what his father said next he didn't see coming.

"If you are really serious about this girl, have you thought about how it is going to be down the road? She is going to be queen one day she is going to be rolling over a kingdom, can you handle she is the one making more money then you and is more powerful? That can be a real deal breaker in some relationships." Brandon had thought about all this before and he was confident in himself that he was sure he could handle this, and that was what he told his father.

"Yes I'm sure I can handle that, wouldn't you be able to?"

"I don't really know but I think if I was in your place I wouldn't be able to handle it. " His father answered honestly and that shocked Brandon a little.

"Really not even if you knew, how good your future with mom would be?"

"Well I might try but I'm an old fashioned guy when it comes to how who is the breadwinner." It was no secret that Brandon looked up to his father and want a loving marriage like his parents' when the time comes, but with the whole money thing Brandon couldn't agree with his father.

"I love her dad, even if she is poor or rich it doesn't make a different to me. Of course dating Stella has made me think about my future and I don't want to be Sky's squire the rest of my life. I want to make something out of myself I don't quite know what yet but when I do I'm going to work hard to make it happen. "

"I know you love her, I could see it on the way you looked at her when you introduced her, just wanted to make sure you know what you are doing. When you meet her father this are going to be some of the things, he is going to ask you about. And good answers by the way." Brandon felt relieved; his father was just trying to make sure he know what he was getting himself into and if he could handle meeting Stella's father one day.

"I know dad, thanks for looking out for me."

"Thank your mother; she was the one begging me to talk to you." Brandon smiled as his father returned to the game, now his world made sense again.

She walked into the bedroom and dropped down on the bed. It had been a hard day of working on the farm; so much needed to be done but Layla wasn't scared of hard work. It kind of gave her a satisfaction, that she could do Manual labor. Ellen and Dorothy were both lovely people; Dorothy said everything she was thinking and Ellen apologized for her mother's behavior every time. Dorothy would say whatever she liked like; 'When you get to be my age you can say whatever pleases you, it is one of the benefits of getting old, don't try to take that away from me.'

They had gotten the job and they had agreed on a wage that included housing for the two of them. In the other end of Ellen and Dorothy's property they had a nice little guesthouse, which they could stay in as long as they worked on the farm. They had wasted no time right after they had agreed on it with Ellen, Nabu and Layla got down to work with Dorothy sitting in a rocking chair nearby checking if they did their job right.

"What a day." An exhausted Nabu next to her said.

"You can say that again." She wasn't looking forward to having to get up early in the morning to milk a cow; Ellen had shown her how to do it this evening, so she just hoped she could do it herself tomorrow. Luckily they only had one cow, she thought to herself.

"We got a letter from Bloom and Sky a while ago; they made it to Daphne and are safe now."

"Good then everyone is in some sort of safety now."

"We are not safe before the trix are behind bars, until then we have to keep a low profile and think about our every move."

"How are we going to get them behind bars, they have been building an army who knows who is in it beside some corrupt policemen."

"We have to find out who we can trust and that is not going to be easy." Nabu reminded her.

"Why dose I have the feeling this is going to take a long time."

"I know it seems like a circus right now, but at least we a place to stay for now." The guesthouse was nice and had room enough for both of them; it had a kitchen where you could look into the living room, everything was either white or black while once in a while there was a little silver but other than that, no colors. They had a small bedroom with a door out to the bathroom, so they had everything they needed in the little house even though they missed home, especially Layla since she hadn't been home for a long time.

"Yes and each other." He and kissed her; he was glad to have her by his side again, he just whished the circumstances would have been different. But there had com something good out of this, the girls had all bounded with each other and so had the guys. Nabu had gotten to know Timmy, sky and Riven a lot better and now he considered them friends.

Timmy and Brandon had been good to talk to when he felt like they weren't making any progress, they would always be talking about some new way that might work. Helia had been the one who he had talked to when he started doubting they were ever going to get the girls home, He somehow always managed to convince him that no matter what they were going to succeed in getting them home.

Sky and he had hat a lot of heart to heart talks about how they felt about the whole situation, and he had learned that Sky was planning to propose to Bloom when they got back from the trip. He could relate to Sky in a lot of ways about how he felt. And then there was Riven he didn't really talk, they just played cards and Riven always told him the truth about how things could go wrong. At first he thought Riven's way of thinking wasn't good but then he realized as he got to know him that was just Riven's way of preparing for the worst.

"Yes." Layla said breathless and smiled when he pulled back.

"No!" Riven walked out of the bathroom; to find Musa yelling and boxing out in the air in her sleep, it was clear she was having a nightmare. Before he went into the bathroom she had been peacefully sleeping. He ran over to the bed.

"Musa wake up it is just a nightmare!" He yelled at her but it didn't work, so he crawled into the bed and grabbed Musa's wrist as he got her into a sitting position, with her back against his chest. He had to hold her wrist to keep her from hurting him; she was still kicking and trying to get out of his grip. He quickly figured out it was one of the side effects from Darcy's toying with her head, he knew it all too well from himself.

"No get away from me, I don't want to be here!" She cried desperately and he knew he had to get her to relax so she could snap back to reality.

"Listen to me; you are safe okay, you need to think about something that calms you down or something that makes you happy." He explained to her calmly but it didn't seem to help.

"I can't." She said after a while and started to shake uncontrollably, and Riven knew he had to try helping her in another way.

"Okay do you remember the first time Brandon and I saw you on stage preforming with Demon, John, Tyler and Harry? You were singing with Harry and dancing; nothing could touch you or hurt you." It seemed to work she stopped shaking but her eyes were still closed, he knew it was hard to snap back to realty from his own experience but he knew Musa could do it fast with a little help.

"Keep talking." She said as she relaxed with her body a little and she stopped trying to get out of her grip but her legs were still kicking.

"People start getting up from their seats and starts dancing too, while you and Harry make your way over to the bar. You are now up on the bar having the time of your life, no worries no nothing- just you and the music." He felt how her whole body completely relaxed against him, she was totally calm now but he didn't let go of her.

"And then we locked eyes." She said after a moment, he looked down and her eyes were opened now." Thank you."

"You were going to wake up everyone if I didn't."

"How did you know that would work?"

"I didn't, I just remembered when I had the side effects off one Darcy's spells the only thing that work was to try to control the dream myself." Riven confessed and Musa looked at him a little confused.

"Yesterday wasn't the first time you got hit by one of Darcy's spell?"

"Not hit. Almost the whole time when I was with Darcy's I was spellbound to her literally, the spell broke when she fall in love with me. "

"Wait I thought you broke up because she loved you and you didn't love her."

"Did you listen to what I said before she fell in love with me, that means she loved me and the spell she used couldn't work because there was love involved. I never loved Darcy and to be honest I have never loved any girl I have date or been with." He answered her question and thought about it; he didn't love Musa well not yet away, but maybe that was what scared him the most. What if it turned it to something more and he got hurt, by that he meant he ended up loving her and she left him. He couldn't let himself be vulnerable.

"Are there other side effects?."

"Yes I don't know them all but it only happens if she has used magic on you in long periods of time. You can lose your eyesight, memory loss, but as far as I know nightmare there is difficult to snap out of is the most common if you get any side effects." Musa didn't say anything after that and she before long got back to sleep and Riven then got back to his spot on the floor.

Sky sat down in Daphne small kitchen; he couldn't sleep the conversation he had with Bloom in the diner replayed itself over and over again. He had the ring he was going to propose with but, he still wanted to make it special for Bloom that was why he waited till they got to Daphne's since she lived by the lake. The door in to the living room opened and Daphne stepped out in a white night gown "Didn't expect you to be up still."

"Yes I couldn't sleep, you?" He asked as she sat down at the opposite side of the table.

"The same, I couldn't stop thinking about something Bloom said to me earlier."

"What?" He asked curious of what they had talked about.

"Sky you have to promise me you answer my next question 100 % honestly." Daphne looked him directly in his eyes; he didn't really know her that well, he had only met her a couple of times and most of them they had never spoken one on one. From the way she asked the question he could hear it was something serious she was about to ask him, but he wasn't nervous he had nothing to hind.

"Yes of course."

"Bloom filled me in on everything that had been happing since before the trip, I know you said you weren't unsure about your future together with Bloom but I have to ask. Are you dragging my sister a long, because you unsure or are you thinking about breaking up with her?" Sky looked at her shocked, oh no not that again.

"No none of those two." He assured her and he knew he had to let her in on what is going on, but first he had to make sure she didn't tell Bloom." What I tell you next you have to promise not to say anything to Bloom about this not even hint at it."

"I promised."

"I have been planning on proposing to Bloom when we got home from the trip, quite a while actually. I wanted to do it by the lake because there we had our first date and I had it all planed out, I was just very nervous about keeping it a secret and what she was going to answer." Daphne's whole face lighted up; she opened and closed her mouth a few times without a word coming out.

"Oh Sky that is great, I'm so happy for the two of you." She finally manage to get out, she looked really excited for them as she grabbed his hand with both of hers.

"Thanks but I haven't asked her yet, she could say no" He reminded her.

"Trust me she is not going to say no." She said confident.

"I want to do it now I have the ring with me; I was just hoping you could help me with some things." He might as well get some help from Daphne now that she knew, he still wanted it to be special and she could help him with that.

"Of course anything." Just as he was about to tell her what she could help him with they heard a scream, and they both recognized it was Bloom's scream. They rushed out of the kitchen and into the bedroom in no time. Bloom was standing up in the bed looking terrified as she looked around the room Sky had never seen her like this before.

"Bloom what is wrong honey?" Daphne asked softly and tried to approach Bloom but as soon as she took one step Bloom took one step back and was now pressed against the wall, like an animal with no way out.

"Wh-who are yo-you and wh- wher-wher-where am I?" She was stuttering so it was a little hard to hear what she was saying.

"You at Daphne's house your sister, remember? I'm Sky your boyfriend." Oh my god what had happened to her, had she hint her head or something. This couldn't be true she couldn't have memory lost that was impossible; he had just gotten her back.

"Sister and boyfriend?" She said like she was making sure she heard it right.

Daphne nodded and said. "Yes that is right I'm your big sister and Sky is your boyfriend who you love very much." Bloom still didn't seem to know what they were talking about and without taking her eyes off of them she slide down the wall and sat down in the bed with her chin resting on her knees.

"What is the last thing you remember?" He asked, maybe that would help them a little.

"Nothing." She answered with a blank expression on her face, this wasn't good.

"Okay can you remember your name?" He then asked and she thought about it for a minute or two.

"No." She shook her head.

"It is Bloom." Daphne said and Bloom closed her eyes.

"Bloom." She whispered to herself and he and Daphne waited for a while until Bloom's eyes suddenly shut opened and she jumped off the bed over to Daphne and hugged her." I remember everything I'm sorry I woke you up." Her sister hugged her back as Sky let out a breath in relief.

"It is okay I was up anyway," Daphne release Bloom from her embrace and Bloom went over to Sky and hugged him without saying anything, after a while Daphne excused herself." I have to get back to bed." And left them alone.

"I couldn't remember anything why was that?" She asked him, and he really wished he had the answer.

"I don't know, but anything is okay now I'm here. Nothing is going to happen to you"
