Sky's Secret Revealed

Disclaimer: I do not own the Winx Club but it is an excellent cartoon. I would love to be the creator. I don't really like Bloom so I apologize for making her a bitch to all you Bloom fans out there.

Priscilla's eyes moved back and forth, back and forth, back and forth as she watched Bloom pace the room with fury. Bloom had just finished telling her what had happened when she had gone to confront Sky about what Flora had said. Priscilla had been very understanding but it wasn't the same for Bloom. She hated having something she couldn't confide in her friends about. But wait a minute, now she wasn't so sure they were her friends anymore. Flora had gone behind her back and had been sleeping with her boyfriend, Tecna had zapped her energy and along with Stella had sold her out to Sky, and Layla had shown up. Musa, she wasn't mad at, after-all, Musa hadn't done anything to get her upset. There was no way she could be mad at her for nothing.

Bloom continued to pace the room. She was going to get to the bottom of this. There had to be a reason all of this had happened. She knew that it had to have something to do with Layla, hence the reason why she hated her so much, because it all started when she had showed up.

Bloom could tell that Flora must've been feeling bad about the whole thing because she had noticed her all cuddled up with Helia when she had ventured out of her new room to get a snack from the vending machine. But that didn't matter. The fact was, Flora had cheated her, she had done the worst thing a best friend could ever do and Bloom would never forgive her for it. She had thought, all this time, that Flora had been the one against that kind of thing but now she wasn't so sure.

"Bloom, will you sit down?" Priscilla asked, "You're making me dizzy just watching you." Bloom scowled at her and Priscilla opened her eyes wide. "Alright, if that's the way you're going to treat me, get out!" She shoved Bloom out the door. "And don't come back until you are in a better mood!" Priscilla then slammed the door in Bloom's face. Bloom scowled again and turned and marched off down the hall.

She was storming by Layla's room when she overheard her mention Sky. Curious about what was going on, Bloom pressed her ear to the door to listen intently to what was being said. After a few moments she had concluded that Layla was talking on the phone to someone. So, she pressed her ear harder to the door, so she could be sure to catch every word.

Inside the room, Layla was having a very heated discussion on the phone with her mother. She was frustrated about what her parents were trying to do. She kept kicking things in her pacing fury.

"Mother, you have to understand! We don't like each other that way! He's a great friend but I think of him as like a brother. I can't marry someone I'm not in love with! It just isn't fair!" Bloom heard a flashing sound and all of a sudden, another woman's voice filled the room.

"Layla, you have no choice and neither does he. This will insure an alliance between our two kingdoms. And I assure you, an alliance is far more important than love!"

"Mother, you are being so unfair! You and dad were in love when you got married, why can't I be?"

"Will you stop being so selfish!"

"I'm being selfish! Who's the one who cares more about the dumb kingdom rather than her own daughters feelings!" There was a smacking sound and Bloom was sure that Layla had just been slapped across the face. She smirked with delight. Layla had deserved that in her mind. Here her mother was, having the perfect guy all lined up for her and all Layla could do was be selfish.

"Don't you talk to me that way young lady or else next time you'll get much worse than a slap across the face! Now, I will not have you acting like this. Prince Sky is perfect for you and whether you like it or not, the two of you will be wed by this time tomorrow." Bloom's eyes widened. Layla's mother couldn't be serious. Was Layla truly engaged to Sky? It was possible, seeing as Sky was already not that common of a name let a lone not that common for a prince's name. She couldn't believe it. So that was why Sky had been acting so weird. He was betrothed to Layla. Bloom knew now that Layla didn't want it but what about Sky?

"Mother, Sky doesn't want to marry me either!"

"Than why did he agree so willingly?"

"Mother, he didn't agree to it, his parents did. He thinks of me the same way I think of him, like a sibling. I can't get married to him. It would make me unhappy and it would make him unhappy. I really don't want him to be unhappy. Besides, I know for a fact that's he's already interested in a couple of other people here and they would be very suitable for him. One of them is a Princess. Princess Flora."

"Princess Flora! That stuck up little flower girl who thinks she knows everything and that she is well loved because she's over-mature for her age!"

"Mother, Flora is not a stuck up little flower girl, she's very sweet."

"Oh please, that's what she wants you to think. I don't want you to hang around with her anymore, do you understand me?" Layla nodded her head slowly. "Good. If I hear anything about you hanging out with her again, I will see to it that you will be severely punished. I must go now I have to tell Sky's parents about what a horrible girl their son is interested in." There was another flashing sound and Bloom figured that Layla's mother had left. She heard a loud crash as something glass and heavy met the floor of Layla's room.

"I won't stop hanging out with Flora mother, I won't! You may be my mother but you cannot make my decisions on whom to be friends with for me. You don't know Flora like I do and you never will because you will never listen to me and you never give me any credit. All you do is criticize me. You don't appreciate anything that I do. I'm sick of standing in your shadow and doing everything you tell me. Well, I'll tell you one thing mother, not anymore, I'm taking a stand!" There was another loud crash and this time it sounded to Bloom as though she had broken a window. One thing was for sure, Layla was pissed and Bloom was starting to see how she could use this to her advantage. She could get back at Sky for cheating on with Flora by completely taking Flora out of his life as even so much as a friend.
