The day after the incident at Alfea's library, Bloom had gathered the Winx girls and declared her romance status with Riven.

"Riven and I are going out!" she squealed as a grin broke across her face.

Layla, Tecna, and Stella looked anxious about this at first (Flora was worried for her own reasons-aka: the love spell on Riven). However, once Bloom confirmed checking with Musa about this relationship, the girls (minus Flora) celebrated with her. They screamed, and jumped up and down while encircling Bloom in a group hug.

While this shenanigan was occurring, Flora excused herself, having made prior arrangements to meet with Riven at Red Fountain. She was finally going to put Bloom's love spell to an end.

How Bloom could live with herself for manipulating Riven, Flora had no idea. All she cared about at the moment was making sure her friend was himself.

Flora hurried over towards the school for heroics and bravery, and found Riven waiting for her at the base of the tower.

"Hi" said Flora as she approached him.

"Hey!" he replied, unusually cheery for his typical tough-guy attitude "Did you hear about me and Bloom?" he asked, now smiling.

"Yeah, I heard" Flora muttered. Riven was about to say something, but Flora continued.

"Do you think we could go up?" she asked, motioning to Red Fountain. "It's a little chilly out today." It was very cold out; so much so that Flora had been forced to bring her plants inside from the cold earlier that morning. Her plants hadn't liked that at all, and complained to Flora as she moved their pots from the balcony into her half of the room.

"Sure thing" he replied. Again Riven typed in a lengthy computer code, after which they stepped into the elevator and headed upwards. Once in the hallway, they walked to Rivens room and continued their conversation from there.

"It's so great being with Bloom. She's so……I don't know, I can't describe it." He sighed dreamily.

How strong a spell did Bloom use!? She wondered in awe.

Flora took a big breathe, preparing for the spell; she wondered what would happen once Bloom realized her love spell had stopped working. Would she know? Flora put all these questions to the back of her mind, for they would make her not want to cast the counter curse. She took another big sigh, focused her Winx, and started chanting.

After Flora was finished, she didn't look up for a few seconds after performing the spell. When she managed to glance upwards, she found Riven glaring down at her.

"What's your problem?" he demanded rudely, which was odd considering he was supposed to be the one with a problem.

"Were you casting a spell on me?!" he yelled at her.

"What? No, I was just undoing the love spell that Bloom put on you and-"

Riven interrupted her "Bloom didn't put a love spell on me; are you crazy?"

"Yes she did!" Flora persisted, but again Riven cut her off.

"I see what's going on here; you're jealous! You can't believe that I'm in love with Bloom and not you!"

"What?!" Flora screeched "That's not it at all! She really did-"

"No she didn't! Can't you accept the fact that I like her? I love her; she's the only one meant for me."

"No she's not, Riven! That's the love spell talking. If you're really in love with her, then what is it about her that's so appealing to you, hmm? Is it how she looks, how she acts, how she-"

"I don't know what it is! I just…..I just want to be with her. I am in love with her, and if you can't accept that, then I don't think we should be friends anymore." Riven solemnly looked at her as he said that last part.

"You really don't believe me, do you." This was a statement, not a question; but tears were already forming in anticipation of his reply. He didn't say anything, which was answer enough. Flora knew this wasn't the real Riven. The love spell Bloom had cast must have been much, much stronger than Flora had thought. Why else would Flora's counter not have worked? However, even though Flora knew that this wasn't really her friend speaking, it still hurt her all the same. She dashed from his room, not even paying attention to where she was going.

When Flora found herself lost in Red Fountain, it only brought on a fresh wave of emotion. She choked it back, but didn't know how long she could hold it in. Since Flora didn't know the way out, she decided to try to find the library. She could navigate her way to the exit from there, and could also empty her tears in a quiet, isolated corner.

After asking around, Flora eventually found the book haven. She found an isolated place to sit and cried herself out, careful to be as quiet as she could while experiencing her breakdown. It didn't take as long as she thought to calm herself. As she sat there with her red puffy eyes, she heard voices from the next row over.

Flora was about to leave; after the whole Riven debacle, Flora didn't want to meddle in anybody's business anymore. However, it was hard not to listen. Once she heard the sentence "…but you're Saladin's nephew!" in a whiny voice, she stopped dead in her tracks.

Madison and Helia? Again?

"So you really don't know what the orbs of Neftalion are?" Madison whined again.

"No. I have never heard of them before in my life." Replied Helia.

Orbs of Neftalion? Flora thought befuddled.

"…And you have absolutely no idea where Red Fountain's single orb of Neftalian is? No idea at all?" she persisted.

"No." Helia stated, confusion draping his voice.

Flora heard Madison sigh, and say something else unintelligible. All she saw after that was them walking away, their hands intertwined.

She is definitely up to something thought Flora darkly.

Her watch then beeped, and she realized she'd already missed 2 classes.

What?! Flora's conscious screamed. I totally forgot it was a school day! Let's see…it's...Tuesday! Oh my gosh, I have to get to Potions!

From the library, Flora navigated her way to the elevator, and flew back to Alfea for her morning classes.
