The Truth about Flora

Disclaimer: I do not own the Winx Club. I do think it's an awesome cartoon.

Flora looked up from her book about plants in the middle-east when the door opened and Bloom stormed in. Her attitude did not surprise Flora as she had been rather touchy with all the girls lately. She was still angry with them for giving her a little constructive criticism about herself. She wouldn't talk to any of them, not even Stella and that was her best friend. Flora watched as Bloom threw her bag down on the bed and kicked her shoes off so hard they hit the wall.

"You know, if you keep doing that, you're going to put a dent in the wall." Bloom ignored her. She seemed to act as though Flora wasn't even in the room. Flora sighed heavily. "Look Bloom, I'm sorry we told you what we did but it's true. Think of the way you're acting now. Do you honestly think you're grown up by acting like this? Do you think that you are doing the mature thing in this situation?" Again, Bloom chose to ignore her. Flora sighed again. She walked over to Bloom and sat down next to her. "Bloom, will you please just listen?"

"Go away Flora!" Bloom finally shouted at her. "I don't need anymore help from you. I can handle things on my own. Oh, you might want to think about who you want as a new roommate." Flora looked at her in a state of shock.

"Bloom, what on earth are you talking about!"

"I'm talking about the fact that I have decided to move out. I'm changing my room. Miss. Feragonda said that it would be alright. I'm going to go move in with Priscilla. I don't want you or any of the other girls talking to me ever again. And as far as the Winx Club goes, well, there is no club anymore!" That said, Bloom picked up her bag and stormed back out of the room. Flora just sat there in shock.

After a few moments, Flora got up and left the room. She went to Stella's room and knocked on the door.

"Yes!" Stella cried.

"Stella, it's me Flora. Meet me in Tecna and Musa's room in five minutes. I have to talk to you all!"

"You got it Flora!" Flora and headed off down the hall towards Layla's room. When she reached it, she knocked on the door. She heard a bunch of shuffling around in the room and raised her eyebrows in confusion. Suddenly the door opened and Flora found her self looking at Sky.

"Sky! What in the world are you doing in Layla's room!" Sky walked out and shut the door.

"It's not what you think," he said, laughing. "Layla and I were just discussing something that doesn't involve anyone else." He checked to see if the cost was clear and then he leaned in and kissed her softly. Flora accepted the kiss but made it short.

"Listen, tell Layla to meet me and Stella in Tecna and Musa's room in five minutes. I have to talk to them." Sky nodded, kissed her one more time, and slipped back in the room, shutting the door behind him.

Flora let out a sigh of relief. She paused for a moment to take a couple of deep breaths. Then, she continued on to Tecna and Musa's room. When she got there she found that Stella and Layla were already there.

"Hey Flora!" Layla called waving at her. "Sky said you wanted me to meet you here. What's up?"

"Yeah Flora," Stella began, "What's the scoop?" Tecna and Musa said nothing but nodded in agreement.

"I have to tell you guys something but you have to promise me you'll keep it a secret. Well, the first thing I have to tell you anyway. There is something else that I have to tell you because I may need your help. Anyway, are we clear?" The other four girls nodded. "Good." Flora walked over to Musa's bed and sat down.

"Go on Flora," Musa coaxed, "What is it you need to say?" Flora took a deep breath.

"Well, first of all, I need your help with Bloom. She's decided to move out of our room and move in with Priscilla. I don't understand it. She made it sound as though she didn't want to talk to any of us again. What did we do so wrong? We were only trying to help. She is such a drama. I don't understand why she is doing it for this reason but I could understand if she was doing it because of the other thing I want to talk to you about. But then, it might not be as bad because she'd only be mad at me. It wouldn't have anything to do with you four. Well, there are a few other people she may be mad at but none of you."

"What are you talking about Flora?" Tecna asked. Flora took a deep breath. This was going to be hard to tell them but she knew she had to do it.

"Well, I've been doing something not so innocent, to start with."

At this point of time, Bloom just happened to be passing by the room carrying a box of her things and overheard Flora say this. Curious as to what her so-called friend was talking about, she put her box down and pressed her ear to the door. She tried to stay as silent as possible so she wouldn't be caught.

"Go on, we're listening," Layla said. Stella nodded.

"Well, this definitely must not reach Bloom because if she finds out she'll have a cow and then I'll really be in trouble." Anxious for more reason to refuse to talk to her ex-friend, Bloom pressed her ear closer to the door so she could hear better.

"Does this have something to do with Sky?" Tecna asked. Musa gave Flora a look of great surprise.

"Yeah Flora," she said. "Does this have anything to do with him?" Flora took another deep breath.

"Yes," she said quietly. Bloom's face began to grow red with anger. All she had to hear was that it had something to do with her ex-boyfriend and it would make her furious. This was supposed to be one of her closest friends and here she was going behind her back and doing something with Sky that Bloom didn't know about? That was it, Bloom had had it. Her friendship with Flora was officially over and once she found out the what, she was going to take the situation to the who and he was not going to like it. Oh boy was he not going to like it.

"Well, what is it?" Stella asked. She wore and expression of excitement on her face. The thought of innocent Flora doing something not so innocent was just so conniving. She had known all a long that Flora couldn't be all good. She rubbed her hands together, ready to receive the information that she so longingly had been waiting to hear.

"You guys are not going to believe it but, I've been sleeping with Sky behind Bloom's back." The other girls' mouths all dropped open. The news of this made Bloom so angry that she forgot that she didn't want to be found out and she forced the door open and stormed into the room.

"Bloom!" Stella cried.

Bloom chose to ignore her. She headed straight for Flora and wrapped her hands around her delicate neck. Flora began to gasp and choke for air. Her face started turning a deep shade of red. The other girls knew that if it became purple or blue then Flora's life would be in serious danger.

"Bloom no!" Musa cried. She made an effort to go and pull Bloom off of Flora but Bloom was ready. As soon as Musa had approached her, she slung her arm back and slugged her hard in the stomach. Musa flew backwards and hit the wall. Layla screamed.

"Oh my God, Musa! Bloom, look what you've done!" Bloom payed no attention to her. Tecna had run over to Musa and had begun to examine her.

"She's unconscious but at least she's still alive."

"And I'll kill her too if she tries it again!" Bloom shouted. Tecna stood up.

"Alright Bloom, I didn't want to do this but you leave me no choice." She pulled out a small box. "This is an energy absorber. If I shoot it at you, it will absorb all of your energy and you will pass out." Bloom had no time to respond or to try and protect herself. As soon as Tecna finished explaining the contraption, she activated it and a green beam shot out at Bloom. It hit her in the stomach. Bloom keeled over and moments later, she passed out. Stella ran to Flora's aid.

"Flora, are you alright?" Stella asked with worry.

"I'll . . . be . . . fine." Flora managed to choke out between gasps for air. Stella looked down at the limp form of her former best friend on the floor.

"Oh Bloom what has gotten into you?" The others shook their heads and they all plopped down and sat in silence.

Hey all, so what did you think of chappie 4? Pretty good huh? If you have any ideas about it or ideas for chapter 5, please let me know. R&R. I promise there will be more coming.
