Yay, its finally time to party!

The Linphea palace was on high priority. Everyone was getting prepare for the ball later that night. Servants were working on the decorations, the cooks were preparing the feast, and the Winx were getting ready.

Stella was getting everyone in their costumes, but she had kicked Flora out. She wanted the costume to be a surprise. So Flora decided go walking through on of Linphea's many gardens. Flora took a deep breath, taking in all the floral scents around her and her last breath of freedom. She didn't know what was going to happen but she knew she was doing it for her kingdom and that's what matter. She couldn't help but think about Helia. She thought about all those moments she had with him. She loved the feeling she got when she was with him. There was something about him that made her want to tell him about her deepest secret, she wanted to be there for him to be his best friend, she wanted to be there for him the rest of her life. Flora suddenly stopped walking. It finally hit her.

"I'm in love with Helia."

But before Flora could even develop the realization,

"Flora you can come up now!"

Flora looked up and saw Stella yelling from the balcony. "Okay I'm coming."

Flora walked into her room and was surprised by what she saw. Standing in front of her was all her friends dressed up in their costumes.

Bloom and Sky were dressed as a cowboy and cowgirl. Bloom had on a pink vest with white frills, brown chaps with pink frills, white cowboy boots, white cowboy hat, and a pink mask. Sky had on a black t shirt, cow patterned vest, jeans, black cowboy boots, black cowboy hat, and a black mask.

Layla and Nabu were dressed as a belly dancer and a sheik. Layla had a a long purple skirt with two giant slits on the sides, a purple belly shirt, and instead of a mask she had a shawl that covered her nose and mouth. Nabu had a long grey rode that came down to his feet, a purple robe over it, a desert hat on, and a purple mask.

"You all look absolutely amazing!" Flora exclaimed.

"Thanks Flora. Stella really did an amazing job." Bloom said.

"Yeah she did. I love seeing Brandon in a skirt." Riven started laughing hard at Brandon.

"Hey not cool man. And it's not a skirt it's a robe."

"If you say so." Riven wiped a tear away.

"Enough of this. I need to get Flora ready." Stella shoved Flora to her bathroom. "We will meet all of you down in the ballroom."

A little later, the group was all in the ballroom waiting for Stella and Flora.

"How long does it take to get ready?" Riven was losing his patience.

"You need to remember it's Stella, so it automatically takes a while." Musa tried to cheer her boyfriend up.

Just then they saw Stella walking up to them. "Hey guys!"

"Well it's about time." Riven huffed.

"Where's Flora?" Tecna asked.

"She's right here." Stella moved out of the way and revealed Flora standing behind her.

Everyone gasped.
