Michael heard a knock at the door. He shrugged and tried to ignore it, yet it came again over and over. There were two voices, one saying no one's home and another shouting "I know you in there, I saw you through the window!"
He sighed while throwing down the news paper, groaning as he got up he cursed under his breath until he open the door to find Bloom's blonde friend along with a few other people.

"Yes?" Michael was a little annoyed, he tried very hard to keep it from slipping out.

"I'm looking for Bloom," Stella asked in a cheerful mood. "Is she home?"

He shook his head, "she's with a friend."

What? "Really, may I ask you where did she went?"

Michael thought about it, he knew that Bloom and that thing he likes to call the extra mouth went somewhere. It was something mundane. "I think they went to the movies."

"Great thanks," Stella walked away with the two other girls, leaving Michael to return to his paper. He read a few lines before realizing that those girls might come back, and even scarier they might stay.

Better clean Mr. Scarboyfriendaway, he thought as he headed for his bedroom.

This actually turn out to be a pretty good night. Stormy thought, she won't even admit it out loud. She was getting a strange feeling that Bloom was getting that feeling, there was something in their glances. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing," Bloom smiled offly. "Just enjoying the walk," she looked up at the stars. A slight breeze brushed by them both, Bloom glance quickly at Stormy. She had reached for the witch's hand, her fingers intertwine with her's.
Stormy rolled her eyes, but couldn't fight back the blush that was crossing her face. She shrugged, leaning over quickly as her free hand touched Bloom's cheek to make Bloom face her. Leaning forward with lips parted while the redhead closed her eyes, expecting the kiss.

"Bloom Hanabiyama!"

They broke apart, caught in the shadow of a silhouetted woman. Bloom was a little confused and Stormy was a bit angered that she almost had played tonsil hockey with the cute girl, yet nether was as shocked as the new comer.
"Flora?" The couple said, only bloom was confused and Stormy was angry.

"What is going on?" Flora snapped, her fist balled at her sides. "Why.. Why.. Why..?"

"Keep working at it, you'll learn to stop talking like a speak and say." Stormy chuckled as she watched the fairy grow redder, Bloom shot the look. "What?"

Bloom sighed, "What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing with her?" Flora shivered with rage, "don't you remember what she done to Mirta?"

"For the record," Stormy snapped. "It was Icy that turned Mirta into a Pumpkin, I don't pull childish tricks."

"I don't care, you didn't stop her. Nor try to help afterwards!"

"Flora, calm down." Bloom said, Stormy shifted her weight. She wonder why was Bloom trying to be even remotely nice to this very mouthy child, that's a small personality quirk that knocks the respect for her down a peg.
"I'm sure she'll tell us how to break the spell, right?"

Stormy crossed her arms while glaring at Flora. "Use minimal negative magic on the crown area and focus on five points, she should be back to normal."

Flora twitched. "I don't buy it!"

"Flora?" Bloom shifted a little, something was feeling off here. "Trust her, I know she would lie."

"Yes, she would!" Flora shouted, "she's a witch, and every witch I have met with the exception of Mirta is a sluty, evil monster that care only for death and destruction on life itself!"

"Now wait a minute," Bloom took a step towards Flora. Stormy and Flora had felt a strong rush of an aura, pouring out of her body was a wave of heat. Both girls were unease at this moment. "What has gotten into you? I would expect this behavior from other fairies in Alfea but not from you."

"Because they know what the witches have done, what the dark faces have do to the universe." Flora transformed, she was so tense sparks of energy was shooting around her.

Stormy summoned a little energy, Bloom manage to stop her from attack but she too was holding back the urge to fight. "What are you talking about? Flora, not all witches are bad like not all fairies are good."

"SHUT UP! You are more.. I mistaken you, I thought you would be like the other fairies." Flora shivered, "your no better than any witch that lay in the gutters. Those creatures are nothing more than harbingers of death."

"Okay, that's it!" Stormy raised her hands up towards the air, she used her electric rage attack. Flora barely had time to avoid the bolts.

"You see, you see how vicious she attacks," Flora stayed in the air glaring at them. "Bloom, I am pleading with you as a friend to leave her, you know witches make bad girlfriends."

"Flora, you're reached my patient's end." Bloom summoned her winx. Stormy stood by the fiery fairy's side, Flora wonder why does she want to stay with her? "Just walk away from this Flora, and I'll pretend this never happened."

Flora was silent, staring down at the couple. She sighed, "I can't walk away. I got to bring you back to Alfea under orders from Mrs. Faragonda, it's nothing personal but I have to do this."

"Get lost!" Stormy shouted, "I thought she was going to be expelled from Alfea and now they want her back, make up your mind."

Flora glared at the witch while turning her attention at the redhead. "Bloom, you haven't been expelled. They weren't fully consider that, there was a slim chance we would just receive a major punishment."

"Flora, I left 'cause I cause nothing but trouble." Bloom silently thought up her next question carefully, "why are you so desperate in staying in Alfea?"

"That is my reasons," Flora fist tighten a little. "And my reasons alone."

"Let's go," Bloom said as she changed back into her civilian self. Stormy was a little confused (and peeved) but she just walked away, Stormy shrugged and followed.

"Hey! Get back here!"

"Why?" Bloom stopped, looking over her shoulder at the brunette with a cold glare. "You won't even tell me your reasons for wanting to stay in Alfea and why you attack Stormy. I feel like I am at fault for everything at that place, and that's my reason for leaving."

Flora was silent. She didn't know what to do next, if she try and drag her but Stormy would most certainly kick her teeth in. She try to attack Stormy Bloom would knock her block off, in this situation she was out numbered and out muscled. Scowling while going over her options only finding to retreat and regroup, that was the only thing she can do.
Without a single word, she left.

"Pity she left, I was itching for a fight." Stormy sighed as she looked over at Bloom, she wanted to ask how she was doing but the words died at the tip of her tongue. "Come on, I'm bored."

Bloom nodded, her mind was messed up from this experience. She befriended her, comforted her when she needed, downright defended her when the others were practically at her throat for her experiments.
And she repays her by hunting her down, ruining a perfect night and casting a foreshadowing feel on her future.
"Stormy."

"Yeah, what?" She sounded a little annoyed.

"Thanks for staying by my side."

"I wanted a fight, now that chance is ruined."

They walked away, unaware that someone was watching them. She stayed around the corner, watching the whole event unfold before her. She disappeared into the dark, knowing that making her move now wouldn't be as satisfying.

She wants to crush her at her best, to take her down from her high horse.

Darcy had completed the first stages of her plan, she found out where Bloom lives, where her enemy is, taken over said enemy now it was one thing.
"What am I going to do with you?" She walk behind Mitzi, poking her in the back before walking in front of her. "If I send you directly at Bloom you would be smoked within seconds, or they could break my control over you and blab that I'm here." Darcy took a seat on the bed, she looked up at the ceiling of the rented room. Forming a plan in her head she picture a duel assault against Bloom and Stormy, except Mitzi doesn't have any magic within her.

She doesn't have any magic WITHIN her. Darcy smiled cruelly, Mitzi doesn't have any magic which means she would have little ways of fighting back. Let's say a certain witch where to astro project her soul into this young body with a bit of magic, Mitzi couldn't fight back. Thus she becomes more than a prop in her scheme, she was now a piece of fleshy armor. Her original body could stay here, and if something happens to it she'll fully cast out Mitzi's soul than go on without a hitch.
Darcy gathered the items the spell requires, this would take a moment but it would be worth it.

Mrs. Faragonda sat in her office, papers scattered all over her normally organized desk. Some where files and forms she has to sign to keep her job after the whole debauchery. Her subordinates were busy around the school, there was no one she could really shelve all of this onto.
She wonder how was Flora's progress with the return of Bloom, she consider contacting the child but withheld that call. For all she knew those two were going to walk through the front door, glancing over to the phone than to the door she tapped her fingers. The phone rang, she picked it up to hear Flora's voice.

"I've hit a problem," Flora sounded very apologetic. "Actually two problems."

"What?"

"I have encounter Bloom on the streets, with Stormy Trix."

"I see," Mrs. Faragonda raked her fingers on her desk, creating long, deep grooves. "And I'm guessing her reaction, what is required to bring her back?"

"I can't take them on, I'm not strong enough." Flora voice was a touch shaky, as if she was trying to hint at something.

"I see," Mrs Faragonda raked her fingers over the desk again. "Just believe in yourself and your winx will pull you through, I have work to do." She said before hanging up quickly, slightly annoyed that Flora was going to ask for more than she already has.
What nerve of that child, she thought. Maybe a special period in class would adjust her attitude when she comes back.

"How was I suppose to know that this town has five movie theaters?" Stella said innocently as the other fairies glared at her. "Okay, by now all of the movies should have ended, and maybe Bloom and Flora would be home by now."

"As sorry as I'm going to be later, logically she's right." Techna slumped defeatedily, she knew Bloom was a little too strong spirited to just up and leave for Alfea again. She notice something down the street, two figures in the shadows near the end of the street.

"Can you see that?" Musa said, she pointed at the people that Techna noticed.

"Yes, I can."

"I can't see, what is it?" Stella asked a little stumped. "Well, what is it?"

"It's Bloom." Techna was a little confused as who the other person was, "or at least from what I can hear."

"You can hear that far?" Stella sweatdropped.

"Wait, who's that with her?" Musa squinted a little than she stiffen up, standing up ridge as her eyes widen. "It can be!"

"What?" The other two girls asked in union, they face Musa as she turned pale. Musa pointed, they turn to face Bloom and Stormy. It was quite a surprise for the two.
