"So you're leaving? Just like that?" Stella yelled. Musa flinched, now she knew why Bloom hadn't wanted to tell the Winx club.
"I have to say I agree with Stella on this one." Techna said.
Bloom looked at the rest of her friends for support, and found none. "Come on you guys, it's not like anyone's going to get hurt. The dragon fire will be in safe hands, and I'll be able to live my dream with the people I share it with. What's the big deal?"
"Maybe the fact you're abandoning us. And what about Sky? He's gonna be hurt, same as us." Layla pointed out.
Bloom sighed. "I'll keep in touch, and besides you guys, what's Alfea got for me? Lessons in magic. Which won't help me at all."
"But you're a princess!" Stella exclaimed. "Magic is a huge advantage in ruling a kingdom!"
"Sparks is a dead planet Stella, not even the Dragon Fire can change that. I know I'll miss you guys, but it would have happened after graduation anyway." Bloom stated.
"What do you mean?" Techna asked.
Flora spoke up for the first time. "I think what Bloom's trying to say is that we all live in different realms, in different parts of the universe. Besides that, we all have responsibilities lined up for us once we leave. How would we manage to stay as close as we are now?"
Stella slumped down in her seat. "Yeah, I guess."
Bloom smiled, in a bittersweet way. "At least this way we have a chance to get used to it."
"Yeah." Everyone else sighed.
All was quiet for several minutes, until Musa spoke up. "How are you going to tell Sky?"
"Tell Sky what?" A voice asked.
"RIVEN!" Musa yelled in fright.
Everyone glared at him and the other Red Fountain boys for a few seconds, but then all the boys all kissed their girlfriends on the cheek so they couldn't stay mad.
Bloom sighed, and motioned for everyone to sit down. Then she explained everything.
"You play guitar?" Riven sneered, ignoring the fact Musa was kicking him under the table.
Bloom glared at him, and called the waitress. After a whispered conversation, the waitress went into the back room, and came out with a black acoustic guitar.
Bloom walked up to the stage, and began to play the guitar.
"Baby do you understand,
Sometimes I'll need you to hold my hand,
Sometimes I'll need to stand alone,
But I'll call your cell phone
If I feel lonely
Let me do as I please
The only way I can be free,
The only way you can be with be with me!
So let me do what I please,
Try to be there for me,
But don't protect me from everything
Sometimes I need to feel a little pain,
Sometimes my life will turn upside down,
Some days I will wear a frown
But that's all right
Let me do as I please
The only way I can be free,
The only way you can be with be with me!
It's all a part of me,
It makes me who I am
It sets me free
Even if it chains me down
Baby, you've got to understand.
Let me do as I please
The only way I can be free,
The only way you can be with be with me!
Please baby,
You've got to understand."
Bloom sang.
And somehow, singing the song Celestial had written for her boyfriend, Bloom knew that everything was going to be okay.
