Bloom's Plan

Disclaimer: I do not own the Winx Club. It would be great if I did though. Sorry to all you Bloom lovers for making her a bitch but I really don't like her that much.

The next day, Bloom decided that she was going to carry out her plan. Although it was colder outside than the day before, she knew she had to go outside for this to work because she had to talk to Flora. And she knew that if Flora wasn't with the other girls, which she wasn't, she would be outside enjoying nature, cold or not. It was with Flora that this whole plan began and with Flora, Sky's reputation would come crashing down. She credited herself for being such a believable speaker, otherwise, she realized, Flora would figure out that she was up to something and she would be able to stop her.

Her initial plan was solely to turn Flora against Sky. She knew that Flora had to really care about him if she had gone on and slept with him when she knew she shouldn't be doing that to one of her closest friends. As much as Bloom hated her and wanted to kill her, she had to start with her in order for the plan to work. It took all her strength but she felt that she would be able to talk to Flora as a friend without getting the impulse to cast a spell at her or something.

So, after gathering her thoughts, Bloom set off into the woods to search for Flora. She didn't have to go far. She found her in her usual clearing, playing with a baby squirrel. That was just like Flora, she thought. She paused took a deep breath and started for her.

"Flora!" Bloom called as if nothing had been going on and she had been searching for her like on so many timeless occasions. Flora looked up. When she saw who had called her, her face fell. A look of worry and caution crossed her eyes. She stood up slowly but didn't hesitate to take hold of a stick just in case Bloom swung at her.

"What is it Bloom?" she said, as calmly as she could. Bloom ran up to her and put her hand gently on Flora's shoulder. She began panting as though she were out of breath.

"Flora, thank God I found you!" she panted, just like she would if everything was okay.

"Bloom, is something wrong? What's going on, you looked scared and worried?"

"That's because I am." Flora looked at her quizzically. "It's about Sky Flora."

"What about Sky?" Bloom could tell that Flora was starting to get concerned. She seemed to relax a little under the weight of Bloom's hand on her shoulder.

"I found out something about him. He's been lying to us all. He doesn't want to be with any of us."

"What do you mean? Bloom, what are you talking about? How could Sky be lying?"

"The truth is Flora, he doesn't love you. He didn't even really love me. He's been with someone all along. He's been taken the whole time we've known him. He's a lying little cheat. You see Flora, I overheard a conversation Layla was having with her mother and she's...she's…"

"She's what Bloom?" Flora asked, now placing a hand on Bloom's shoulder.

"She's engaged to him! Layla's engaged to Sky. That's the big secret he's been keeping from us! This whole time he's been in love with another girl and he seems to think it's funny to play with the rest of our hearts. I can't believe him. I'm sorry Flora, but I had to save you before he hurt you as bad as he has hurt me." She started to cry and her head fell on Flora's shoulder.

"What! Sky's engaged and he didn't even have the decency to tell us? Well, I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. I am going to confront him about this first. Maybe there's a logical explanation. If there isn't, I am going to break it off and accept Helia's offer to go to dinner!"

"No Flora, don't bother confronting him. There's no logical explanation. From what I heard from Layla's conversation, it's a done deal and he's happy about it."

"Still, I like to give people the chance to explain themselves before I go blaming them for this stuff. You'll be okay sweetie. Why don't you go back to your dorm room and lie down. That should make you feel better. Then, when you have calmed down, I'll make you a nice hot mug of hot chocolate, how does that sound?" Bloom nodded, gave Flora one last hug, and headed back to Alfea only half smirking. She knew once Flora had spoken to Sky, she would be in trouble again. Because once Sky had confirmed the truth for Flora, Flora would know that Bloom had been plotting something and then she would be after her for an explanation.

Flora meanwhile, was marching off to Red Fountain to find out what the hell Sky thought he was doing. She wasn't completely mad at him though. The part that wasn't mad at him was to busy being suspicious of Bloom's sudden turn around in the way she had been treating her. She knew this wasn't natural but she needed proof that Bloom was up to something and that was exactly the real reason she was going to Sky.

When she reached the dorms of Red Fountain, she headed for the one Sky shared with the other guys and knocked on the door. Brandon answered it and was taken aback by the slightly angry look in her eyes.

"Hello Brandon," Flora said, as politely as ever, "Is Sky here? I need to speak with him. It's very important."

"Oh yeah, sure," Brandon replied, scratching the back of his head. He turned to look inside the room. "Sky, the door's for you! It's Flora!" Sky came hurrying over to the door and Brandon left. He smiled at Flora.

"Hey Flora," he gave her a quick kiss. "What's up baby?" Flora frowned.

"Sky, Bloom just came to me telling me that you have been scamming us all and that you are engaged to Layla. Is that true?" Sky frowned.

"Only half of it is true."

"What do you mean only half of it is true?"

"Well, it is true that I am engaged to Layla but it's not true that I have been scamming all of you guys. Layla and I have been trying to get out of this arranged marriage for ages. We don't think of each other that way. Her parents don't seem to get it and neither do mine. They're so set on having us marry so they can have an alliance that they don't even think about how this is making us feel."

"So, you don't love her than?"

"No, at least not in the way Bloom was imposing. I love her like a sister and that's how I'll always love her. That will never change. You don't have to worry Flora, I would never do anything like Bloom was saying to any of you guys. You guys are the greatest. I don't want to lose what we have." Flora smiled and gave him a quick kiss.

"Well, I gotta go, see you later." Sky nodded and shut the door behind her. "Bloom, you are in so much trouble when I get my hands on you!" Flora said angrily and she stormed off to give Bloom a taste of what happens when you make Flora angry.
