Chapter 21: Moving On
Bloom's POV
About a week has passed since the trial over Stella's custody in solaria. Everything seems to be getting back to normal. Brandon spends a lot of time with her. They are both planning the wedding, which is right after graduation in a couple more months; they are both very excited and so in love. Stella is supposed to be meeting her mom today. Stella called her after the trial and told she needs to talk to her. Muse and Riven continue to go out, getting closer and closer every day that goes by. Riven seems to be opening up more. Flora and Helia- are better than ever, but now its Flora's turn to go and meet Helia's parents. They are going this weekend and neither of them can wait. Tecna and Timmy? Checking out devices and technology as always. It may seem like they're relationship is all about technology, but its not. I think that their intelligence is one of the things that brought them together in the first place. Although the guys are giving Timmy some tips on how to be more romantic, it's working! Layla and Nabu are also busy planning their wedding, in fact we're all going shopping this weekend for bridesmaid dresses to Stella's and Layla's wedding, so excited!
And how are Sky and I? We're also doing great. I think we've never been happier. The other night he took me on a date to the park to see the stars. It was so incredibly romantic. Diaspro hasn't come back or called either, not that I'm complaining. It just surprises me that she hasn't tried to steal Sky from me again. Stella and Layla are all ready engaged; I'm hoping Sky will ask me to marry him soon.
"Bloom darling, I'll be back in 2 hours, I'm going to solaria to see her" Stella said as she walked into the room. Bloom was sitting next to the window looking out. The day was beautiful.
"Okay Stella, good luck, do you need one of us to go with you?"
"No I'll be fine", but thanks anyway" She said with a smile. She waved goodbye and left for solaria.
Exams were over, the girls had had to study a lot; it was almost hard to believe that exams had ended. She couldn't call Sky because he had a sword match in red fountain in the afternoon, and she couldn't go watch him, only red fountain students were allowed. So she went out to take a walk…without telling anyone. And that was her mistake.
As she headed out, she decided to take a walk around the woods, not knowing tat someone was watching her, not even suspecting that a pair of dark blue eyes were burning holes into her back. She continued walking, a long the lake, until she was only a few feet away from red fountain.
"I think we've walked enough for today Kiko," She told her bunny.
"Lets go back" She started walking back when she heard something behind her, a bush rustling.
"Who's there?" before the question even finished coming out of her mouth Diaspro came out from behind.
"Diaspro? What are you doing here?" Bloom said.
"I came back for revenge, what, did you really think you could steal Sky away from me and just get away with it? Well, if that's what you thought, you're dead wrong!"
"First of all, I didn't steal Sky from you, he wasn't even your to begin with" Bloom said.
She couldn't believe that Diaspro had followed her, since when had she been there?
"So you followed me all the way here, and hid behind a bush? Hmmm very classy, sophisticated too…" Bloom continued.
"Shut up! I do things my way. Don't like them? Back off!" Diaspro yelled furious that Bloom would even dare talk to her like that. She was royalty and Bloom technically, was not.
"You back off, and Sky and I alone!" Bloom yelled back.
Diaspro flung herself at Bloom, knocking her to the ground. She pulled Bloom's hair. Bloom pushed Diaspro as fiercely as she could, Diaspro screamed, giving Bloom a chance to get up.
"You pulled my hair? Another classy move" She began to run, she wanted to fight Diaspro, but what if she was planning to go to red fountain and spell Sky? Bloom had to distract her, she ran to alfea, Diaspro not to far behind. She had to call Sky and warn him about this. As she ran back to the school, she caught a glance at professor Palladium giving class outside.
"Hello Bloom" He greeted as she ran by.
"Hi Professor" She greeted back. And Palladium continued giving his lesson.
Bloom reached her room and locked herself in her room; She picked up her phone and dialed Sky's number.
She knew that Sky was in a match but she had no other choice.
Over at red fountain, it still wasn't Sky's turn to compete, which was good because just then his phone started vibrating.
"I'll be right back, " Sky told Brandon as he got up from the bench and walked away from the arena.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Sky, hey sorry to interrupted you, its Bloom," She said breathlessly.
"Bloom? Is everything all right? You sound worried" Sky said.
"Well…see the thing is…" Bloom trailed off and thought for a minute. Sky was in a match. What if he couldn't concentrate after what she was about to tell him? It would be her fault if he lost…its only Diaspro, I can take her. But if things get out of hand, then I'll let Sky know…She thought.
"Bloom are you there?" Sky asked, he was beginning to worry.
"Oh…yes sorry Sky. You probably have the match to get back to so I'll talk to you later, good luck" Bloom said.
"Wait, what did you want to say? You don't sound to happy" He asked.
"Its nothing really, just wanted to wish you good luck" Bloom lied.
Okay, well, I'll see you then" Sky told her, still not believing what she had said. He knew Bloom better than that. He knew there was something else that she wanted to tell him. But if that was the case, he would let her say it at her own time- not pressure her.
"Okay I love you, bye," She said trying to sound cheerful. She had been standing against the door. Something pushed the door, as if trying to open it.
"Bye, love you too" Sky said as he hung up. Diaspro was standing right outside Bloom's door. She was using a spell to knock the door down. This was her last chance to get Sky back.
"What's the matter pixie? Too scared to take me on?" Diaspro said mocking her.
"Oh that's it!" Bloom yelled, she transformed into her enchantix, and opened the door to face Diaspro, her boyfriend's crazy ex fiancée.
"Hey bro, who was that" Brandon asked Sky as he walked back to the bench.
"It was Bloom, she said she called to wish me good luck" Sky said, not sounding too happy.
"What's the matter? That's good isn't it?"
"Yes, it is. But I feel that that wasn't the real reason. She sounded so, I don't know. She wasn't herself, and her voice was shaky, like she was nervous". Sky explained to Brandon.
"I don't get it, why didn't she just tell you?" Brandon asked. At that moment, Saladin made an announcement that the match would go on to the next day, only three more students would be competing for that day. And it wasn't Sky; he would go the next day.
"I don't know, I asked her if there was anything, but she said no. But I don't believe it" He said standing up.
"Where you going bro?" Brandon asked him also standing up.
"I'm going to alfea, I know it may seem like I'm overreacting, but, she sounded very strange over the phone, and I just have this feeling." Sky told him.
"I think you're doing the right thing, just don't come on too hard, and don't pressure her, girls hate that. Also, tell her comforting things, oh and if…." Sky laughed.
"Wow Brandon, you're an expert on these things aren't you?" Sky told him. Brandon rubbed the back of his head and grinned. Sky didn't change his clothes; he still had his red fountain uniform on and his sword. He thought it wouldn't hurt to take it with him- just incase.
Flora was outside in the gardens of alfea that she and the girls had made at the beginning of the year. She loved just being there and smelling the flowers. It was so relaxing. She smiled to herself. Sure she was nervous about meeting Helia's parents, but she was also looking forward to it. Helia was so sweet and so gentle, his parents were probably sweet and gentle too. She thought. Helia had written a note to her, a very romantic note the other day. Musa and Layla were in magix buying Cd's and surfing boards. Stella was in Solaria and Tecna was in the computer room with Timmy programming the school computers.
It was only she and Bloom, so she decided she would go back inside and spend time with Bloom a little while. Maybe even make popcorn and watch a movie.
Sky was making his way over to alfea. He was just near the lake, he didn't know whether to call Bloom and let her know he was coming to see her, or surprise her. Just as he was a few feet away, he spotted Flora walking into the school. He kept walking. He didn't call.
Diaspro pushed Bloom against the closet. Bloom used a spell and through her against the wall. The room wasn't too messy, but some closets and drawers were knocked over or dumped out. This was insane. The doorknob turned. Both girls looked towards the door, which was locked.
My hair is ruined! How dare this stupid pixie do this to me! She will pay, If not for her, Sky and I would have been married by now. I hate her. There is no way I will let her get away with this. She's not even a princess, what does Sky see in her anyway? He deserves more. I'm the one for him.
Diaspro took that as a chance to get Bloom. She took Bloom's arm and swung her toward a closet. Bloom fell to the floor with a loud thud.
Diaspro looked through the window to see if she could climb down. If Flora saw her, Diaspro could get into serious trouble, and Sky would hate her. Sky couldn't see her like this. Sky, if she could just have Sky back, everything would be perfect. She would have the guy of her dreams. She would be even richer than before, for if they were married, they would form an alliance. Sky was handsome, he was very smart and knew many languages, as many princes and princesses did. He was strong, funny, warm, and a great ruler. Sky was very attractive. Diaspro had to have him back; she wouldn't let Bloom get Sky.
"Bloom is everything alright in there?" Flora asked, there was no answer.
She continued to try and turn the knob.
Diaspro thought for about a minute. There was also a window that could lead her to the side of the school. Wait? Why would she escape that way? She didn't do anything wrong. Bloom had also been attacking her. She was defending herself. Nothing more. Bloom was still on the floor, a little bit of bloom on the temple at the right side of her head. Diaspro kicked Bloom's hand to see if she would wake up she didn't.
Sky got to Blooms room and met Flora.
"Hello Sky" She said.
"Hi Flora, hey is Bloom here?"
"I'm not sure, the door is locked, but I don't know if she's inside, if she is, she wont open." Flora said.
"Isn't there a spell that you can use to open it?" Sky asked.
"I think so, but I'm not sure it will work, but I'll try" Flora said. A small green light came out of her hand and entered the keyhole.
The door shot open, revealing Diaspro sitting on the floor next to an unconscious Bloom.
Flora gasped.
"Bloom!" Sky yelled.
