Chapter 13: I'm here for you

Sky's parents returned later that afternoon, and Bloom had already changed into her original cloths. Bloom had seen Sky's parents once before, but never actually met them formally. Sky walked her downstairs and introduced her to his parents.

"Mom, dad, this is my girlfriend Bloom" Sky said looking at Bloom, then at his parents, then Bloom, then his parents again.

"Hello, your majesties, its an honor to meet you" Bloom said as sweetly as she could. At first, the queen seemed speechless, Bloom didn't know whether to expect a good reaction - or a bad one. After all, Bloom knew how much the queen and Diaspro had gotten along and how much the queen liked her. But now Sky was with Bloom, and she and the queen barely knew each other at all. Diaspro has so much and she so little, what to expect?

"Bloom, it's nice to meet you too," the queen said with a genuine smile.

"Yes Bloom its good to finally meet you, Sky talks about you all the time", the king said.

"Oh, he does?" Bloom said looking over at Sky who just smiled at her.

"Yes dear, he sure does" The queen said, they laughed, Bloom a bit nervously. Thankfully Sky broke the ice by saying,

"Mom, I'm going to show Bloom around the castle a bit if you don't mind"

"No of course not Sky dear, go ahead," She said, and Sky took Bloom back upstairs to his room.

Sky knew that his mom would interrogate Bloom later during diner so he wanted to let Bloom know first and make sure she felt okay, he knew how sometimes she felt a little bad because he was a prince and she was the princess of a frozen, non-living realm, and how sometimes Diaspro made fun of her because of it.

"Bloom, sweetie are you okay?" He asked her.

"Well…yes I'm fine," She said, but Sky knew she wasn't being honest.

"Bloom…" He said warningly.

"Okay, I'm nervous, do you think they liked me?"

"Bloom, I told you, I'm sure they loved you, just like I do" he said grinning and kissed her, they kissed for a few minutes when Bloom's phone began to ring. The caller ID read mom, Bloom instantly knew it was Vanessa but she wasn't going to tell Sky yet, it depended on what her mom had to say.

"Sky hun, I've got to take this call, its from…my mom, can I go into your room?" She said, Sky looked at her suspiciously but said,

"Sure…go ahead".

Once Bloom was in his room, she began talking but she had left the door a bit open, and Sky who was standing right outside couldn't help but hear everything.

"Mom, how are you?" Bloom asked.

"Not too good, sweetie, I know you' re probably busy, I don't mean to bother you and…"

"Its okay mom, I'm at Sky's palace actually, what's wrong?" Bloom asked desperately.

Sky's thoughts: Bloom doesn't sound too happy, something must be wrong, I shouldn't be listening, it's not right, as a hero, boyfriend, or prince. But if Bloom's in trouble again, then I have to help somehow, besides, I'm not listening on purpose, and she left the door open knowing that I'm standing out here. If Bloom needs me, then I'm always here to help.

Bloom hung up the phone, what her mother told her left her shocked. She wasn't sure how to express this feeling. It was like a mixture a shocked, surprised, upset, and hurt all at the same time. Her mind felt blank. Her mother told her that after she and the guys left earth a few moths back, her dad was allowed to leave the hospital the very next day, being said that he couldn't do too much exercise, or too much of anything. But he returned to work about two weeks ago and today he was in the hospital again with heart problems. Which meant medicine for his heart, which meant money.

Where am I going to get it? Bloom thought to herself over and over, I can ask Stella, I know she wont mind but I feel bad, I wish I had my own. I could ask Sky, but I'm already in his palace with his parents, and if they find out Sky lend me money and …what will they think… what am I going to do?

Bloom had finished her conversation with Vanessa about 5 minutes ago and was now sitting on Sky's bed thinking how she was going to get out of this one. Sky was outside; when he didn't hear a sound he got worried.

There was a knock at Sky's bedroom door, which startled Bloom.

"Bloom? Is everything okay?" He asked poking his head into the room. Bloom sighed and put on a fake smile, which was very hard for her to do at this time.

"Yes, everything's fine" Bloom wanted to cry, but couldn't, she had to keep this fake smile at least a little while longer. Sky knew she wasn't being honest, but decided not to say a word, he thought if Bloom wanted to tell him she would, but at the same time, we was desperately worried for her, he knew that she was having money problems again and this time he wanted to help her out, he had to.

Flora and Helia were together on a date, Helia was making yet another sketch of Flora, he never had and never would get tired of sketching her. Flora was looking up until he dazed off a few minutes later, she had totally spaced out. She quickly came back to reality when Helia surprised her with a kiss. She kissed him back; she didn't want this moment to end.

Bloom decided on telling Sky what was going on. Sky listened to her. She broke down at some point and began crying, Sky hugged her and wiped her tears, he hugged her until she calmed down.

"Sky I don't know what to do", she sobbed.

"Bloom, I want to help, I'll give you the money and you don't have to pay me back and…" Bloom was about to interrupt him but Sky didn't let her.

"And I really want to do this Bloom please…just let me help you" Sky made the cutest puppy dog face and Bloom just couldn't say no.

"Okay, Sky I'll accept your help, do you think you can lend me…"

"Go on" Sky told her.

" Maybe two thousand dollars?" She asked.

"Of course I can Bloom", he said smiling at her warmly, as he hugged her.

"Sky, have I told you that you're a great boyfriend, I love you"

"I love you too Bloom"
