Before all the drama started, it was a simple day at Alfea School for Fairies.
An overcast sky suspended overhead, thunder reverberating through the atmosphere. Rain lazily spurted toward the ground, feeding the abundant plants and wildlife throughout the grounds.
The Winx girls were all hanging out in Bloom and Flora's shared dorm room. Everyone, excluding Flora, looked downcast; their faces matching the sky overhead.
Stella was by far the most upset; being the sun-loving fairy that she was, she absolutely detested rainy days. Flora on the other hand, saw the beauty in the raindrops. She took the perspective view of how the rain was sustaining the wildlife outside her window. She gave silent thanks for the rain- it was the key to nature's survival, and in a degree, the key to her survival.
Bloom had invited the Red Fountain guys over for the day. Considering it was Saturday (and therefore no classes), the girls were stumped as for what to do. Layla had suggested going shopping in Magix, but Stella nearly had a heart-attack at the thought of what the rain would have done to her hair.
So there they sat, simply talking, laughing and having a good time. This was the day when all the drama started.
Bloom (who was sitting in Sky's lap) laughed at something Techna said, and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. Sky smiled slightly, but his eyes seemed detached; almost as if his body was in the room with them, but his mind was floating through the dimensions.
Bloom pouted "Babe," she started "you've been sooo distracted lately. What's up?"
"Hmmm?" Sky replied.
She huffed at being ignored "What's the matter with you? You barely said anything to me all week, and you've said absolutely nothing today. What gives!?"
"I've just been thinking about some stuff" he answered vaguely.
Bloom glared daggers at him, "what kind of stuff?" she asked, her voice less than kind.
Sky finally looked her in the eye. "I've just been thinking about what my parents said last week. They want me to come and start training to take over the crown, that way when it's time for me to actually rule the kingdom, I'll know what to do."
"Oh, is that it?" She exclaimed. "Well that's great! I'll come with you!"
Sky shook his head "The thing is that they don't want any….distractions…to keep me from focusing on my work." It was obvious that he had chosen his words with great care.
Bloom looked both angry and hurt. "Well you could have just told me you didn't want me around last week then!" she screeched at him, and dashed from the room. Sky got up and ran after her.
Flora cuddled closer into Helia's chest, grateful that she wasn't having any relationship problems at the moment. Actually, now that she thought about it, Musa and Riven were having some problems too, but they kept their dilemmas more low-key than Bloom and Sky. She hoped that both couples would be able to work through their troubles.
