CHAPTER TWO - COURAGE

"Oh, so you control nature, huh?" Helia asked Flora as they sat in a salad bar at the mall. ((They were at the mall .. remember?))

"Yes! I love flowers and plants."

"Thats awesome .. I love nature and capturing it in my art."

"Oh. How nice," she smiled a happy smile. Helia's heart skipped a beat.

"Such a beautiful smile .." he thought. He found himself staring into her hazel eyes.((Hazel? They're hazel right? Or greenish or something?))

She felt pressure and it was too much for her so she started to blush.

Stella and her part of the gang were passing the salad bar in the food court.

"OOOH, wow, look at Helia and Flora at that salad bar over there!" shouted ((of course we all know who)) Stella. "I think it's time for me to--" she was cut off by Bloom who grabbed her wrist before she could go anywhere. Sky and Brandon were also there with them.

"Hey, Bloom. Did you notice that you were holding me back?"

"Uhmm, Stella. I really think you shouldn't mess with Flora and Helia. If they're meant to be together then--"

"Yeah, yeah. But I promise this will TOTALLY work."

"Oh? Just like it totally worked with Musa and Jared?"

"Well, Musa clearly has no taste in guys. I mean look! She's with that punk Riven!"

"What. Did. You. Call. Me?" A cold voice sent shivers up her spine. Stella turned around only to find that a tall figure was hovering over her. Riven.

"Oh, so I have no taste in guys, hm?" Musa spat.

"Ehehe .. well, that's not the point of this chapter, Musa. But just look over there! It's Helia and Flora! And Bloom won't even let me do anything about those two."

The day passed. The boys were about to go back to Red Fountain and the girls to Alfea. The girls bid their goodbyes until the next time they would have an outing.

You would have NEVER guessed how much Flora and Helia talked that day. Heck, they almost talked as much as Stella did. Helia really did like her. She was gentle enough for him and even had the looks. Flora was just a little naive and didn't really notice his feelings for her. She was just really glad she met him. And maybe one day they'll end up being more than just friends ..

LOCATiON: FLORA'S AND BLOOM'S ROOM

There was a knock at the door. Another. Another.

"Hey, Flora! Can you unlock the door? It's Bloom!"

"Oh goody goodness!" ((Hehe, just one of Flora's cute phrases)) She was writing poems. Perhaps about Helia? "C-coming, Bloom!" she yelled as she was stuffing the poem papers into her desk.

Flora opened the door. "Oh, sorry, sweetie. I was, uh, doing something"

"It's okay. Hey, can I borrow your plant spell book?" Bloom asked.

"Sure. In my desk. Middle drawer."

"Oh okay .. this one?"

"N-no!"

Oh boy.

Bloom just opened the drawer containing the poems. Flora kept her head down and shut her eyes waiting for what Bloom would say.

"Flora ..?"

"Hmm ..?" she opened an eye. Then much to her surprise, Bloom gave her a big happy hug. "W-what ..?"

"Oh my gosh, Flora! You're totally into Helia! That's so great! You should SO ask him out," Bloom felt so happy for her friend. Now that Bloom was sure that Flora liked Helia, it would be okay to help her get with him.

"Y.. you think so?" Flora shyly asked. Bloom nodded. "But see .. it's kind of weird if I do, because in my realm--"

"Aw, but Flora! Wait. You're not .. scared are you?"

"What! No way! I just uh... Hey LOOK! Is that Sky outside?" Flora pointed out of the balcony.

"WHERE?" Bloom ran to the balcony and looked down. And who did she see? Not Sky! "Hey Flora, are you sure..--" She turned around only to find an empty room. "Flora?"

Truth is, Flora chickened out and ran out of the room. She couldn't take it. Bloom was totally right. She was scared to ask Helia out .. for she hadn't really felt like this before about a guy and was a little unsure about things.

"Helia .. I don't know why I can't tell you. I just .. I just need more courage .."
