Flora Blows Up

Disclaimer: I do not own the Winx Club. Although it would be great if I did. Sorry to all the Bloom fans out there, I don't really like her that much so she may be a bit of a bitch.

Flora stormed back to Alfea. The fact was, now she knew what Bloom had been up to. Bloom hadn't really been over what had happened between the two of them, she had just been trying to sever Flora's relationship with Sky. Flora couldn't believe this. She was starting to like Bloom less and less with every new scheme she came up with. She wasn't going to take it anymore. It was time to let Bloom know how she felt.

When the front doors of Alfea College banged open and shut, many students who were passing by at the time turned to look to see what all the fuss was about. Several of them dropped their jaws in shock when they saw Flora storming off in a rage down the hall towards Priscilla's room. She knew Bloom had to be in there, probably gloating over the fact that Flora had fallen for her little trick. Well, she wouldn't be gloating soon. Flora was certain that once she was done with Bloom, Bloom would be so scared of her, she'd start trying to avoid even going near her.

As she was heading to the room she passed Tecna and Musa's room and was stunned to hear what sounded like a scream come from the other side of the door. Curious as to what may be going on inside, she backtracked to listen. When she noticed that the door was slightly ajar, she decided that it might be better if she went in. She wouldn't be much help to the person screaming if she was standing on the other side of the door eavesdropping. Besides, she wasn't one to eavesdrop anyway, that was one thing that broke a person's trust in you. So, taking a deep breath, she pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The scene inside made her drop her jaw in shock. Tecna, was huddled up in a corner trying to protect herself from the sharp knife that a person all in black was holding over her. Flora couldn't believe it, someone was trying to kill Tecna but why? It had to be someone they knew, otherwise the person would have no need to disguise themselves. Flora started to think of who it might be. She didn't have to think for long fore just a moment later, she remembered when she had confessed to the other girls about sleeping with Sky. Tecna had had to attack Bloom with an energy drought to keep her from killing Flora. There was no doubt about it now, the person that was trying to kill Tecna had to be Bloom.

"Bloom!" Flora cried out. Without thinking she leaped on the person just as they had spun around to stare at her. Tecna looked up in a state of shock. She had never seen Flora act this way nor had she expected her attacker to be Bloom. She didn't think Bloom could ever sink that low. She watched in shock as Flora tackled the person to the ground and pulled off the black mask. Sure enough, the attacker was Bloom. "You've got some serious explaining to do. Not to mention telling me why you tried to sabotage my relationship with Sky!" Bloom gritted her teeth and growled. Without warning, she shoved Flora off of her so hard that she slid across the floor. Flora shook the dizziness off and got up. Bloom had started to get to her feet but Flora tackled her down to the floor again. "Oh no you don't! Vine Wrap!" she cried. Two long vines shot out of her hands and wrapped themselves tightly around Bloom's body. "You're not going anywhere." she walked over to Tecna and helped her to her feet. "Are you alright?"

"I think so. Are you feeling okay Flora?"

"What do you mean?"

"I've just never seen you act that way that's all." Flora laughed and Tecna smiled. "What's so funny?"

"I'm sorry. I've never acted this way before, I'm kind of surprised myself. But if you want something done, you have to be firm about it and that's just what I am going to do with Bloom."

"Don't you think you're being just a little too firm?"

"Not for the way she has been acting. She tried to ruin my relationship with Sky. I can't believe I feel for it. Did you know that Sky and Layla are supposed to be getting married?" Tecna shook her head in shock. "Yeah, apparently their parents want them to get married to create an alliance between their kingdoms. But neither of them want to go through with it. They don't love each other that way. They looked at one another as if they were brother and sister. They've been trying to get out of it but their parents won't listen." Tecna looked worried.

"Well," she said, "That certainly isn't fair. I say we do something about it."

"Two problems. One, how are we going to do that and two, only Sky knows that I know. I don't think Layla would be too happy to learn that we know about their little secret."

"Well, there must be something we can do. Let's think on it for a while, maybe one of us can come up with something. And it might be a good idea to discuss it with Stella and Musa too. But we shouldn't approach Layla about it until we are sure we have a plan." Flora nodded.

"That sounds like a good idea. I'll go talk to Stella. You can talk to Musa when she comes back. But right now, I have some business to handle with Miss. Bloom here." She glared at Bloom who did nothing but glare back. She could tell that Bloom was obviously trying to seem tougher than she really was.

"Alright. Did you want me to leave you two alone?" Flora nodded and Tecna left the room.

"Alright Bloom, what the hell do you think you're doing trying to kill Tecna!"

"The bitch attacked me and you just expect me to be happy about it?"

"She did for your own good Bloom! You were trying to kill me. A feat that I'm sure later on when this matter is all settled, you would've seriously regretted. And for your four one-one, I think that Sky may just be leaning towards being with Riven, which is fine with me because I'm starting to really like Helia anyways."

"Oh now you want to hurt him? First you steal my boyfriend and now that you can freely have him, you want to hurt him! I don't think so! If you're going to have a relationship with Sky, just do it!"

"But I already had a relationship with him. We've been going out for quite some time. And to be honest he was started to tell me how he all of a sudden had these feelings for Riven."

"Fine! But don't go with Helia, everyone expects that. It's so obvious that the two of you like each other. You wanna shock people, go after someone else."

"Okay, who do you suggest then genius?"

"How bout Red Fountain's new foreign exchange student. He's pretty hot. And I hear he's great with the ladies."

"We'll see but this isn't about dating right now. It's about finding out why you did what you did. Now spill it!"

"I didn't want you to be with Sky. I thought that if I couldn't have Sky, nobody could, especially not that Layla. Oh yeah, speaking of her, did you know that she and Helia are dating?"

"WHAT! He likes me! Why would he start dating…wait a minute, this is just another one of your little pranks! I'm not falling for that again!"

"Look at my face, does it look like I'm joking to you!" Flora looked at her face. She did seem completely serious.

"You hold that thought." Flora left the room and headed for Layla's room. She knocked on the door.

"Enter!" she heard Layla call. She opened the door and went inside. "Oh, hello Flora. What may I do for you?"

"Hello Layla. Something just came to my attention and I just came to find out if it was true."

"I'm listening."

"Well, someone just told me that you and Helia have started dating. Is that correct?" Layla nodded.

"Yes it is. Helia asked me out just yesterday. Why? Is it a problem to you? I mean, I know you like him and I'm sorry but I thought you were all set with Sky so I didn't think it would be much of a problem. I can go break up with him if you want." Flora giggled and waved her hand.

"Oh, no, no, don't worry about it, I'll be fine. I've got someone else in mind."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course."

"Well, alright."

"Well, I must be going. I'm holding Bloom captive in Tecna and Musa's room. I wouldn't want her to get away. Thanks for letting me know the truth."

"No problem. Bye!"

"Bye!" Flora left the room and briskly walked back to where she had left Bloom. She wasn't angry with Layla, on the contrary, she was actually happy for her. She was just in a hurry to get back before Bloom found a way to break free of her vines. But when she got back to the room, Bloom was no where in sight and the window was wide open. Flora suspected she had slipped free of her binding and escaped out the window.

Suddenly, Flora realized what had just happened and she became very furious. Bloom had pulled a fast one on her again. She knew that if she told Flora that, Flora would go to Layla to find out for herself if it was true. Then, Bloom would be able to use the time that Flora was gone to unbind herself and get away.

"This isn't over Bloom!" Flora said, pounding a fist into her hand. "This isn't over."
