"Bloom."
"No."
"Bloom."
"No."
"Bloom!"
"I already said no!"
Currently, Bloom and her adopted father were arguing about her going to Alfea. She was 18 now, perfectly capable of making her own decisions, thank you.
"Bloom, you can't go there! You've got to be in the military!" Mike yelled.
Bloom seethed in rage. "Mike! You can't choose what I do anymore! Let it go, I'm leaving whether you like it or not!"
Mike sighed. "Fine. But when this all turns out to be a lie, don't come crawling back to me."
"What's that supposed to mean?!" She shot him a glare.
"It means," he said, through gritted teeth. "I'm disowning you. You disappoint me."
Bloom stared at him for a second. Then burst out laughing, leaving Mike very confused.
"Oh Mike," she laughed, "I'm already 18. As in, you don't own me anymore."
She walked out, taking her bag of stuff and her bunny Kiko with her. She met up with Stella just outside her gate, when a blue troll appeared and started to attack them.
Bloom rolled her eyes. "Oh, not this again." She sighed and rummaged through her bag, looking for something while Stella fended off the troll.
"Bloom, a little help!" Stella called. Just then the specialists from Red Fountain arrived.
Great. Bloom thought sarcastically, rolling her eyes. Continuing her rummaging, she finally found what she was looking for. Her very own Glock 24.
Pulling it out and dropping her bag, she turned on the troll, who currently had a struggling Stella in his grasp.
"Hey!" One of the specialists called out, "You might hurt her!"
Bloom rolled her eyes again. "Don't worry about it pretty boy." She responded, coking her gun and aiming at the monster.
Bang
The troll lay dead on the ground with a bullet hole right between its eyes.
The boy with reddish purple hair whistled. "Damn girl. Where'd you learn that?"
Bloom smiled tensely, putting the safety back on her gun and stashing it in her bag.
"Military."
She simply said, using a tone that clearly said to leave it alone. Having at least a little sense, the boy backed off.
"Anyway," He started, changing the topic. "I'm Riven."
"This is Prince Sky of Eraklyon," He jabbed his thumb at the brunette.
He pointed to a blonde-haired boy behind him. "His squire, Brandon."
"And Timmy, our tech wizard." He pointed to a boy with orange hair and glasses.
Bloom nodded towards the four. "Nice to meet you. I'm Bloom. That's Stella." She nodded her head towards the yellow fairy.
Bloom sighed again. "Anyway, better get going… Gotta get to Alfea, ya know?"
Stella nodded. "See you boys!" She giggled, creating a portal which both her and Bloom jumped through.
"Damn…" Riven spoke first, surprising everyone there.
'Sky' gave a small chuckle. "She took out a troll with a gun. She's badass."
The other two boys found themselves agreeing.
