Hey yall, trying to get in as many chapters as I can, here's chapter 20!

Chapter 20

It had been a few days that I had dorm arrest. It was totally and completely suckish! I had to go to school in the morning, eat lunch in my room, go back down to school, then come back up and hang in my room till I go to bed, and not to mention there was a big troll following me to make sure I was doing the right thing.

"Sara, that troll is really starting to creep me out, he keeps checking me out" Stella complained plopping down on the couch

"Join the club Chika, at least you get to go on your Ski vacation tomorrow" I said

"That really sucks that you can't come, we were planning on showing you all the fun stuff to do in the snow realm" Layla said

"Mehhhhh! I wanna go!" I cried, putting my head in Bloom's lap

"Don't worry sis, there's always next year, and you haven't even experienced the beach party, now that's fun" Bloom said

"Oh yeah! That's pretty soon, right? It's after the Day of the Rose" Flora said

"Day of the Rose?" I asked

"It's this day where everyone appreciates their parents, Brandon is coming home with me this year! He's gonna meet my parents and we're gonna have the best time!" Stella said

"I'm going back to the Harmonic Nebula for the first 3 days with Riven, then we're heading to see his parents for the last 3 days" Musa said

"That's sounds romantic, Timmy and I are getting together with both of our parents at Timmy's house" Tecna said

"Tides and Andros are having this whole big thing for the Day of the Rose, Nabu and I are just gonna hang in Andros" Layla said

"Helia and I are going to Linphea for 1 day, then spending the 5 other days in Knightly, I think his family is really starting to like me!" Flora said happily

"Of course they do Flo, who couldn't? Sky's parents are starting to warm up to me too. I'm going to spend all 6 days in Eraclion" Bloom said

"Wow, that sounds way fun! I wonder what I'll do for this Day of the Rose" I said

"You can always come with me" Bloom said

"Maybe I could" I said with a giggle

Stella looked at her watch…..then did a double take.

"Guys it's 12:30! We have to start packing!" Stella screamed

"Oh yeah, come on, remember to bring warm stuff!"

The girls spent like a bijilion hours packing, I slowly began to drift of to sleep. I crashed on the couch at around 2am.

I woke up the next morning by the sound of screaming!

"Ahhhhhhhhhh! I can' find my scarf!" You could hear Stella's screech all the way in Eraclion, that's a promise.

"Here, just take mine, please try to quiet down, we don't want to wake Sara" I heard Flora say

"Thanks Flora, but I really wanted to wear my new one….it's couture!" Stella whined

"Don't worry Stell, we'll just buy another one when we get there, now let's go!" Bloom said pushing her shoulders

I got up, running my fingers through my hair and moaning

"Aww man, we woke Sara up" Musa said

"It's okay" I said with a laugh

"We better get going now, we'll call you everyday" Layla said as they all went to the door

"Just go, have fun…but not too much fun! Ya crazy kids…" I said humorously

"Bye Sa" Bloom screamed waving like a maniac.

I went over to my balcony, looking over at them as they got into the transporters

I leaned down, crossing my arms over and looking out.

This is better for me, I have to get some stuff done.

I went to my room and got into sweat pants, an old t-shirt, a pullover sweatshirt, and converse. I pulled my hair into a messy bun, with my hoop earrings.

Ding-Dong!

I ran to get the door

"You don't have to check on me every 5 seconds Troll! I'm perfectly capable….Ian?" I said looking at the figure standing in my doorway

"Look Sparks, I was assigned to baby-sit you while everyone else goes on the Ski trip, so thanks a bunch" Ian said pushing me aside and striding in smoothly

"Um, what just happened?" I asked as Ian got seddled on the couch, putting his feet up

"Do I have to write this out for you? I am here, to watch you, while everyone is of on the Ski trip, my uncle assigned me to come here" Ian said

"Uhhh…hold on a second, you can't be here right now" I said checking my watch

"Says who?" He asked

"Says me" I said angrily

"What are you gonna do about it?" He asked me challengingly

"Augghhhhh! I so don't have time for this right now! Now shut up, and don't say a word about this to anybody!" I screamed at him pulling my ring of my finger

"Um, what are you doing, you can't be doing that" Ian said

:"Says who" I said in a mocking tone

"I bet you don't even know how to use it" He said

"You're right, I don't, but what's life without any excitement right?" I said smiling

I through my ring in the air

"Domino!" I screamed tossing it up

My scepter came flying out of the air, landing perfectly still in my hands

"Okay uhhh…..transport us to the Forest of Gremson!" I told it

"please?" I asked

A portal opened

"Tada!" I screamed

"Why are we going to the Forest of Gremson?" Ian asked annoyed

"Because I said so" I said

We walked through the portal ending up in…..I'm not really sure

"Congrats genius, now we're lost" Ian said rolling his eyes

"Shut up, I'll just transport us again" I said

"Okay this time transport us to the Forest of Gremson!" I screamed , pronouncing every syllable

When we walked out of this portal we got to….yes! The forest of Gremson!

"Woah" Ian said walking out

Hundreds and hundreds of animals gathered around me, as if awaiting my arrival, which they were

"What have you done" He whispered

"Welcome all animals! Thank you for coming! I have something very important to talk to you all about" I screamed

"Are you seriously talking to these animals" Ian asked

"Yes" I said

A lion roared

"No John, you may not eat Ian, although I'm starting to rethink that" I said to the lion

"What is this, did you tell all these animals to come here?" Ian asked

"Yup, these are the animals from the Forest of Fena, The Forest of Higna, The Forest of Gugla, The forest of Remanan, and the Forest of Geolon" I told him

"Why did you tell them to come here?" Ian asked

"You'll see" I said

I got up on a rock and looked around at all the animals

"Listen up, most of you know that there have been many animal dissapearences, your brothers, your sisters, just randomly disappearing….I know why! The evil man, Baltor, is stealing their souls, how do I know this? I just do, I can feel when an animals soul is being ripped out! Baltor is stealing them, but I don't know why" I said

I heard a lot of the animals gasp, some roar in anger, some cry out

"I will catch Baltor, but until that happens, I want all of you to be as safe as can be" I said

"I want to move all of you to the Forest in Alfea, I spent all of yesterday expanding it to meet all of your needs" I said

"I will be gathering all of the animals around the Magic dimension and getting you all there, that forest is now totally dark magic proof" I told them

"What do you say, will you all come?" I asked

The biggest lion I have ever seen stepped forward, bowing down

"We will come your majesty, thank you" The lion said

I bet he's the king

"That's awesome!" I screamed petting his nose

"Sara, you're a nut house, a complete wackedoo" Ian said

"Ian! You can't tell anyone, nobody can know about this, the more people know the easier it will be for Baltor to find out" I told him

"Fine…." Ian said hesitating

I opened up a portal, which opened up on the grounds of Alfea

"Ian, hood up" I told him, putting my hood on

He nodded, putting his on, as we motioned all of the animals to go

"Mission accomplished" I said smiling

We walked back up to my dorm

"How long have you been planning this?" He asked

"Since that night in Magix City, I ain't a fool, I know what's going on in Baltors head" I said as we approached my balcony

"Well, I hope it works out well for you, you may as well train them to be warriors, help us with our war" Ian said jokingly

"Ya know, that's actually not a bad idea" I said pausing for a second

"Holy crap Ian! You're a genius!" I screamed climbing up the tree and landing on my balcony

"Now you realize this!" He screamed rolling his eyes

I spent everyday, training and gathering animals from all across Magix, still not to good at opening portals though…..

Anyhow….today's the day the girls come home! I went down to the forest to see how my animals were doing.

"Hey guys!" I screamed jogging in

"Hey! Check out this new game we invented" A little cub said to me

He and some of his friends ran up a hill then slid down on their backs

I laughed at them

"That's nothing, check this out" Jolly said

Jolly went up the hill and slid down on her feet

"Wow guys, you're starting to feel at home around here, I have an announcement to make so I want to gather everyone around" I said

I got up on a rock and whistled for everyone to come

"So, today is the day my friends the Winx Club come home from vacation, only me Jolly and Ian know about this place, I wont be able to come as often to visit you guys and train" I said sadly

"What about our training, we can't train without you Sara" The lion king said

"But you can! All of you, have become more and more like warriors, when I'm gone I want you to work everyday to train harder and harder" I told them

They all nodded their heads dutifully

"Good, now Jolly, we better go, I think the girls will be back soon" I said to Jolly

We headed back to the dorm, cleaning it up a bit.

Ding Dong!

"They're here!" Jolly squealed running to open the door

"Guys!" I screamed hugging everyone

"Hey! Ohmygod! We missed you sooooooooo much!" Stella screeched

"Sara!" Bloom hugged me tight

"Hey!" Flora screamed hugging me

"Hey Girl!" Layla screamed hugging me

"Hey!" Tecna screamed

"Sara!" Musa screamed

We all sat around on the couch talking about their vacation

"Hey so Red Fountain is having a Dragon show on Wednesday, as of tomorrow you're free from Dorm Arests…." Stella urged nudging me playfully

"Okay, I don't have anything else better to do with my life…why not" I said shrugging

We headed over to Red Fountain on the day of the Dragon Show

"So Lay, what exactly do they do at a Dragon Show?" I asked

"You'll see" Layla said with a laugh

"Fine, but you at least have to find me a way to get to one of those hover bikes, I want to ride one so badly" I said excitedly

"Oh I am so in!" Layla said giving me a high five

We took our seats in the area, it was huge!

"Woah! This place is amazing!" Is screamed looking around

"I know, and I so can't wait to see my Brandon out there, he's going to kill it!" Stella screamed excitedly

"Okay, I'm going to go find a bathroom, Layla, come with me?" I said

"Sure" Layla said following me

"So, if I were a super cool flying motorcycle, where would I be?" I said looking around

"Come on, I just saw some guys go in there holding helmets" Layla said pulling me into a shack.

"Yeah! We hit the jackpot Layla!" I screamed checking out the bikes

"What do you Say we try them on for size" Layla said wiggling her eyebrows playfully

We both got onto a bike…..but suddenly a full body suit came at me, strapping me in, helmet and all

"Awesome!" I screamed checking out my biker outfit

"So cool" Layla said revving her engine

Cordatorta came in to the shack, looking angry

"Ian!Brandon! There you are, you were supposed to go on 5 minutes ago, now get out there!" He screamed loudly

"wait! Hold on!"

"There's been a missuderstanding!" Layla screamed

"Get out there!" Cordatorta yelled

"Yes sir" Layla said

She nodded

"We're gonna die" I said

"You don't know how to drive it?" Layla asked

"I don't have a drivers license…!"

My bike started going unintentionally. I was going out of control!

"Ahhhhhhhh!" I screamed almost crashing into people

"Brandon! Watch where you're going!" Somebody screamed at me

"Sorry!" I screamed back

"Layla! This is why we I don't have a drivers license!" I screamed as Layla came wizzing passed me, having a blast

"Sweety, your pushing the neutral button, maybe you should try the gas" Layla said

"Oh! Hey…I'm starting to get the hang of this!" I screamed laughing

"Wooooooo!" Layla screamed as we rode in circles around each other, slapping each other five

"Yahhooooo!" I screamed

"Men! What are you doing! Stick with the program! This is not how we practiced it!" Cordatorta screamed

"What? Oh yes sir! Of course!" We both grunted in deep manly voices

Suddenly, somebody knocked into us, knocking our helmets of

" Ow! My arm! Hey! Watch where you're going!" Layla screamed, rubbing herself off

"Yeah, seriously man, that hurt!" I screamed

"Oops, my bad" He said in a mocking tone

"You don't know who you're dealing with buddy!" Layla said clenching her fists

"Yeah, you're about to be in a world of trouble, why don't you show us who you are!" I screamed angrily

"Afraid not you little annoying brat, Lord Baltor would disapprove" He said

Layla and I gasped

"You're working with Baltor!" I screamed

"Yes, now it's time for me to go" He said with an evil tone

I jumped at him…but was to late…he was gone.

"Layla! Sara! What the hell! Why did you go in posing as us!" Brandon screamed running at us with everyone else

"Faragoda, I believe they're yours" Somebody said

"Yes, they are" I heard Faragonda say proudly

"Miss F, I'm so sorry!" Layla said

"Yeah, it just kind of…happened…but that guy that pushed us down, he's working with Baltor!" I screamed

"What?" Faragonda asked

"The guy, he's with Baltor, how did he get in?" Layla asked

"That is a very good question, Saladine, I think they're might be a spy in your school" Faragonda said

"I feared this would happen" Saladine said

"This is bad Saladine, I think it's time we called a meeting, our situation with Baltor is becoming more fatal, students could be in danger" Faragonda said

"Yes, go call Professor Griffen, arrange for her to meet us" Saladine said

Layla and I were still shaking from our fall

The girls came running towards us, eyes wide

"Guys! Are you okay? What happened?" They all screamed

"We'll tell you about it later, right now I think Layla needs to be checked out, her arm might be broken" I said

Nabu came forward and checked out Layla's arm

"I don't think it's broken, but it might be sprained, I'll take her up to the doctor" Nabu said

"Thanks" Layla said giving him a smile

"We'll come to" Bloom said as they all watched curiously, hoping their friend was alright

"Don't worry guys, I'm fine" Layla said with a laugh

"Sara, hold on" Saladine said

"Okay, guys I'll meet you later" I told them
"Okay, no problem" Bloom said

I turned around, facing Saladine and Faragonda

"What's up?" I asked

"You tell us, we know you're planning something" Saladine said

"What?" I asked confused

"What have you been up to?" Faragonda said

I bit my lip

"Look, I really CAN'T tell you, but what I am going to tell you, My animals are not in a safe place, I know what Baltor is planning" I said

"And what would that be?" Faragonda asked

"He's stealing souls from animals, I don't know why, but I know he is" I told them

"Oh no, this is terrible!" Saladine said

"What?" I asked

"Don't worry about it Sara, all I want you to worry about is getting in touch with your powers and figuring out how to transform, have you figured out any spells?" Faragonda asked

I nodded

"Some basic ones" I said

"Good, now keep working on them" Faragonda told me

"What's going on? What is Baltor doing?" I asked

"I told you not to worry about it" Faragonda said

"No, I can't just not worry about it! Do you know how many animals have died? As of now 457" I said

Their eyes bulged

"That's about how many animals live in 1 forest. You realize that? A whole forest, wiped out, and you want me not to worry about it, Miss F, with all do respect, ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME!" I screamed

"Okay, okay, calm down, why don't you come up to my office for some tea, Miss Faragonda will tell you everything we know later" Saladine said

"Fine" I said crossing my arms

I went up to Saldines office with Jolly, a place I have grown very fond of. I had visited him a few times since our last chat. I feel very close to him, almost like he's the grandfather I wish I had.

"So, Sara, what's our situation today?" Saladine asked pouring me some green tea

"No situation, what about you?" I challenged lifting an eyebrow

Saladine laughed

"Quite a clever one now aren't we?" Saladine asked

I smiled brightly

"What?"

"You're the first person in the whollllleeeeee world that has ever called me clever! Me! Clever!" I said happily

"Really, you seem pretty smart to me" Saladine said

"When you're living in Bloom's shadow, not so much" I mumbled

"Bloom? Do you two get along?" Saladine asked

"What? Oh yeah! She's like one of my best friends in the world….it's just..you and me both know that Bloom has quite the reputation around here, she's the leader of the Winx Club, the heroes of Magix, She's got the Dragon Flame, she's top of her class in like EVERYTHING! She's a princess, she's going to marry a prince soon….oh shoot! I wasn't supposed to tell anyone!" I said covering my mouth

"Don't worry, my lips are sealed, but you know, you and Bloom are actually at a tie if I may say, you're a Winx also, you may not have the Dragon Flame but you can actually talk to dragons, you're a princess too, and as for the prince, I'd say you're a pretty good catch as well"

"Thank you Saladine, but I mean, at least she can actually transform! I don't even know how to freakin fly yet, or even use my scepter properly without opening it up on a ceiling, or taking us to some exotic jungle" I said

"You're just as much a fairy as she is, you may not be able to transform but you'll get to that stage, and there's one thing that you have over her" Saladine said

"What?" I asked

"Who has the scepter of Domino?"

"I do" I said with a smile

"of course you do, now how about we talk about something else, Bloom and Sky are getting married"

"It's not official, but Sky already asked for my permission, it could be any day now, maybe over the Day of the Rose vacation week, Bloom is going to Eraclion or a week" I told him

"Oh yes, the Day of the Rose, that's coming up in a week isn't it, what about you, what are you doing?" Saladine asked

"I don't know, maybe I'll hang by pixie village, or maybe I'll have a camping trip into the Forest in Alfea" I said

"What? Nobody spends the Day of the Rose by themselves!" Saladine said

"I'm not going to be by myself, I have Jolly, right?" I said

"Right!" Jolly squeaked giving me a high five

"How about you come with me to Knightly an spend it with my family and I" Saladine asked

"For real? That would be awesome! Flora and Helia are going too! We could hang out and have so much fun! Thank you thank you thank!" I screamed throwing my arms around him

Saladine laughed

"No problem, you, Flora, Helia, and Ian will go to Linphea for a day then come to Knightly" Saladine said smiling

"That's amazing…wait a second! You're a sneaky sneaky guy, aren't you" I asked my eyebrows raised

"What ever do you mean?" He asked with a sarcastic tone

"You know what I mean, I told you a bijilion times already, I do NOT like Ian!" I said

"I had a talk with Stella and she begs to differ" Saladine said in a singy tone

"I'll tell you what, I would still LOVE to go with you to Knightly, but, you had better stop playing match maker" I said

"Hey! I'm old, what else better do I have to do with my life!" He screamed as I left

"Get a cat!" I screamed laughing

I heard Saladine laughing from his office

Suddenly, I slammed right into somebody

"Owww…" I said rubbing my head

"Oh I'm sorry, hey…Sara!" I looked up and saw the Specialists, yahoooo!

I had slammed right into Helia

"Hey you guys! Oh my god Helia, you'll never guess what! I'm going with Flora and you to Knightly for the Day of the Rose!" I screamed excitedly

"Really? Oh that's awesome! Wait till I tell Flora!" Helia said happily

"Yay!" I screamed hugging him

"Wait a second! Hold on! Hold on! You're coming with us! Help me God!" Ian screamed to the sky

"Shut up, you know you like when I'm around" I said nudging him playfully

"Define Like" He said eyebrow raised

I slapped him on the back of his head

"Whatevs, I'm going back to Alfea, peace" I said walking out and flipping my peace sign out

I pulled out my ring

"Okay now ring, don't you fail me now" I said to it

Took me 3 tries but I finally transported myself back to Alfea

"Yo Stell! We gotta start on that scepter tutoring like ASAP!" I screamed as I walked inside

"Fine, we'll start in like an hour, I wanna eat my chips in peace" Stella screamed from the couch, watching some romantic movie with Amore

"What are we watching?" I asked joining her on the couch and grabbing at the popcorn

"Twilight" Stella said

"The vampire movie? Not exactly my type…..but I guess I'll watch it" I said

"I am soooooo Team Jacob! Have you seen his abs! I have a boyfriend, stop thinking about Jacob's abs" Stella told herself

I laughed at her

"Hey Sa, uhhh Helia just texted me that your coming with us on the Day of the Rose?" Flora said confused, holding up her phone

"Oh, yeah, Saladine asked me to come, cause I have nowhere else to go" I said smiling

"Oh yay! This is going to be soooooooo much more fun now that you're coming!" Flora squealed happily

"Girls pipe down! Jacob's turning werewolf! HD and surround sound!" Stella squealed

After about a half an hour more of the movie, it was finally over!

"Finally! Now can we start?" I asked Stella pulling her arm

"Okay, okay, does anybody want to come?" Stella screamed

"Where?" Layla asked emerging from our rooms

The other girls came out as well

"To teach me how to transport, and make things go boom with my scepter" I said

"I'll pass"

"Nu uh!"

"Over my dead body!

"Guys! You have no faith!" I screamed humorously

Bloom slowly tried to leave

"What about you Bloom, can't say no to this face" I said giving her puppy dog eyes

"Yeah….I gotta..uhhhh…go to…..bye!" Bloom screamed

"Come on, I'm not that bad you guys" I said

"Really, so were you 'not that bad' when you transported us from the park to the jungle where we almost got killed by deadly poisonous snakes?" Musa asked

"Indeed my dear Musa" I said with pride

They all laughed

"Tune! If I don't come back tell everyone I love them!" Jolly screamed at Tune

"Not you too Jolly!" I screamed

"Sara, I love you, but face it, you suck" Jolly said

" Come on Sara, I still think you could do it, lets go outside" Stella said hooking our arms together

We went outside of the school, where we both turned our rings into scepters \

"Okay, so here's what you want to do, before you say anything, you have to think really hard about where you want to go, picture it in your mind, then just let it flow" Stella said

"Where should I transport us?" I asked

"Oooooo! Transport us to Bonnie's Boutique in Solaria! Best store EVER!" Stella squealed

"Well, okay, so now I have to picture it" I said thinking about it, although my mind seemed to be on another subject…one I wish it weren't on

"When you tell it what to do, don't command it, talk to it as if it were your friend, say it nicely, yet forcefully, and don't forget to pronounce ever syllable….oh and when you open the portal just put the scepter in front of you and it'll shoot out of the energy orb in the middle, see?" Stella said pointing to the energy orb on my scepter

"Got it" I said

I took a breath

"Bonnie's Boutique! Transport!" I scremed

A put the scepter in front of me and an energy ball shot out, opening up a portal

"Yeah!" I screamed slapping Stella high five

"Take that Bloom!" I screamed happily

"Let's go before it closes!" Stella screamed pulling us through

We walked out….into somebody's room

"Sara! Where are we? What exactly were you thinking about!" Stella screamed

"Bonnie's Boutique!" I screamed back

"I think we're in Red Fountain! I'm going to transport us back before whoever owns his room comes back and finds 2 girls in his bedroom!" Stella screamed pulling of her ring

Suddenly, the door shot open, and a certain somebody came in, wearing just pants, no shirt, with his hair all wet, like he just came out of the shower. Can you guess who it was? I'll give you a hint, IAN FREAKIN KNIGHTLY! If you guessed Ian, congrats, your prize is….nothing! If you didn't guess Ian, well, I recommend special help, you may be suffering from stupidity.

"Woooahhhhhhh!" He screamed jumping back

Stella and I froze, staring wide eyed

"What are you doing in my room!" Ian screamed angrily

Stella gasped then stuck her hand over my eyes

"Stella, what are you doing?" I asked

"Saving the innocent!" Stella screeched

"Seriously Stell, after you just made me watch twilight, seriously, did that guy even own a shirt?" I asked

"What's going on in here?" Helia, Brandon, Riven, and Sky came in looking around till they saw us

"Stella, what are you doing here?" Brandon asked

Stella and I looked at each other, then shrugged

"Surprise!" We both screamed together

"Huh?" The boys were confused

"What? A girl can't visit her boyfriend anymore? What has this world come to" Stella said shaking her head

"You said it girl, can't a girl come visit her soon to be brother in law?" I asked

"That's not what we meant" Brandon said

"It's just, why are you in Ian's room?" Helia asked

"Oh, just checking out his stuff….yup, I give you an A+ in organization!" I told Ian with faked enthusiasm

"Stalker much" Ian said looking me up and down

"Shirtless much" I shot back

"It's a free country, if you don't like it I would gladly show you the door" He said pointing

"Well, I guess we'll be on our way, right Sara?" Stella said trying to escape the awkwardness

"Yeah, can I just say I love what you've done with the place" I screamed as Stella pulled me out and slammed the door behind us

We started full out running down the hallways, trying to get out as fast as possible

"Hi Saladine!" I screamed as we ran

"Sara?" He said confused

"Bye Saladine!" I screamed

We got to the stairs and Stella started taking them 2 at a time, I just rode down on the railing

Once we finally got out of there we were both panting

"What!" pant "Is!" pant "Your!" pant "Problem!" Stella screamed panting

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to transport us here" I said

"I told you to think about where you wanted to go!...unless….you were thinking about Ian! Weren't you!" Stella screamed excitedly

Some Red Fountain guys turned to look at us

"Shhhhhhhh!" I screamed at her, covering her mouth

"I knew it!" Jolly screamed

"How could you not, they're always flirting" Amore said with a giggle

"Oh we so called that! Riven so owes us 10 bucks!" Stella screamed

"No he…you guys bet on me?" I asked

"Yeah! Oh my god! This is so gonna be awesome! And your going with him on the Day of the Rose! You're going to fall in love! Now we all have boyfriends!" Stella screeched

"Stella! No I don't! I'll admit I do kind of have some feelings for him….."

"I knew it!" Stella screamed high fiving Amore and Jolly

"She finally admitted it!" Jollyy screamed

"Oh my god! Now I have something to work with! Finally! Okay so how should we do this? Should I give him some love powder, or…or maybe a.."

"No no no no no, no love powder, let's not scar the boy" I said

"I can't wait to tell the girls, man you're so lucky you don't have a father, when my daddy met Brandon it was like one train reck after another" Stella said remembering it

"How bad?" I asked with a laugh

"Let's just say Brandon left covered in sauce" Stella said

I started cracking up

"Smooth" I said

"Let's head home, it's getting pretty late" Stella said

"Okay" I said pulling out my ring

"Ubububup, why don't I transport us" Stella said

"Good idea, and hey, can we try to keep this on the DL, I don't really want the whole world to know I like him" I said

"My lips are sealed" Stella said, a twinkle in her eye
