Chapter 23: Our Song
That next day, the girls had classes to attend and so did the guys. They would also be racing on their levabikes that day. Timmy checked all of their bikes to see if they were well for racing and ready, which they were.
Mean while at alfea, Bloom had had a dream, it was a very strange one about Daphne. The last few times that she had dreamt of Daphne, it was because Daphne had wanted to see Bloom in person to tell her something, so Bloom had gone off the Lake Chrysalis which was near red fountain to speak to her. She figured that Daphne just wanted to talk to her and find out how she'd been doing. After all they were sisters, and Bloom wanted to know how she was doing also. She often went to visit her even when she wasn't called.
She got up, got dressed and told the still half asleep Flora that she would be going to Lake Chrysalis for a while. She knew that when Flora was fully awake, she would immediately begin to look for an outfit to wear for tonight. She was so excited about where Helia was taking her for their date. Wherever it was, Bloom was sure that it would be a very romantic place. She was so happy for Flora she had never looked so happy. Neither had the other girls. She left alfea and headed into the woods.
"Daphne?" Bloom called out when she arrived.
"Bloom!" Daphne said. She looked quite cheerful.
"Daphne hi, I got your message" Bloom said smiling, "Is everything okay?" She asked.
"Well yes everything is fine, I know about what happened yesterday in the woods and at alfea with Princess Diaspro", Daphne said taking Bloom by surprise.
"But, how did you know?" Bloom said, sure she had been near this lake but she hadn't seen Daphne anywhere, how could she have seen what happened?
"Well, its like this, just like you see me in your dreams when I need you, or how you can sense when something is wrong, I can do the same. I can feel when you're in danger. Unfortunately, I can't always feel it. But when I do and I can sense that your feeling weak and I talk to you, you know that", Daphne said with a chuckle.
"Yea I do, and I don't think I've thanked you enough for it, you've come through for me so many times". Bloom said taking Daphne's hand.
"Your very welcome Bloom, that's what sisters are for". She said smiling warmly at her younger sister. Just looking at her brought back so many memories. She had been 4 years old when Bloom was born.
Bloom had been the cutest baby she every saw. She was born with her mother's hair and father's eyes. She remembered that she spent hours with Bloom after she was born, sometimes her mother, queen Miriam, allowed her to feed Bloom. And the most painful memory was of her running away with Bloom in her arms, running, trying to protect her, and then saying goodbye and sending her away to earth. And now they were together again.
"Bloom, I don't know what you might think of this, but, I was thinking that maybe when you have time and your not in class or doing anything else, you can come here more often so I can train you." She said with all seriousness.
"Train me? What do you mean Daphne?" Bloom asked.
"Well, you see, I know at alfea they are showing you spells and all different sorts of magic but you need to learn how to call on your dragon fire, its important so that when your in very serious trouble like the other day in the woods, you can call on your dragon to defend you".
"Oh, I've never though of it before, I guess it's a very good idea". She said, glad that her sister would help her become stronger. She knew that Daphne was a very strong nymph, one of the ten strongest nymphs of Magix, a legend. Everyone knew about her, they even learned about her in class. It was a great idea, not just good.
"But don't worry, you'll still have time to study and hang out with your friends, and your prince Sky", Daphne said winking at Bloom after saying the last part. Bloom blushed.
"Daphne!" Bloom whined as she pushed her playfully.
Daphne laughed.
"Well, I'd love to stay and talk more, but I kind of have to get to class, so maybe I'll see you later?" Bloom asked her.
"Yea sure, hey, how about we meet in magix after your classes? I mean if it's okay with you of course". Daphne told her, which surprised Bloom because she had never spent time with Daphne at a place other than the lake. It would be really cool; I mean everyone would be amazed that one of the greatest nymphs was walking right in the streets of magix.
"Sure of course, see you then!" Bloom said, and walked off back to alfea to go to class. The more she thought about it, the more excited she felt. Being able to spend time with her sister. The girls had seen Daphne before when she helped Bloom to find her dragonfire, Stella had said she loved Daphne's outfit. Bloom laughed to herself quietly. This would be a great day, and she just couldn't wait.
Red Fountain"Nice race back their guys," Helia complimented as they each got off their bikes.
"Same to you man." Riven said smirking. He was very happy after all he had won the race.
"So, where are you taking Flora tonight anyway?" Riven asked.
"First I'm taking her to diner, then, remember that place that I talked to you guys about? Well that's where I'm taking her. I'm sure she's going to love it".
"Hey Brandon, I think I may need your advice", Sky told Brandon, off to the side, while the rest of the guys went to check their bikes.
"About Bloom?" Brandon asked, although he already knew.
"Well yea, nothings wrong, but we've been together for almost 2 years now, and…well, I want to make it permanent". Sky finished saying. Brandon gave him a confused look.
"You know," Sky explained, "Seal the deal?" Brandon's facial expression remained the same.
"I want to marry her!" Sky yelled, he had been a bit nervous about this, Brandon's either joking or confusion didn't help. Some of the other guys from red fountain looked over at them, it wasn't everyday that they heard prince Sky yell about marring someone, even though he almost did before.
"Oh…that's great man, when are you going to tell her?" Brandon asked when no one was looking at them anymore.
"This weekend, but you need to help me buy a ring, give me an opinion".
"No worries man, of course", Brandon said.
"I never thought I'd see the day when you'd be allowed to marry for love and not an alliance, if you know what I mean" Brandon said, Sky knew what he meant, the only reason he almost married Diaspro wasn't because he truly loved her but because she had a lot of money, and they, meaning his and her parents decided to form an alliance. But Bloom didn't have money or riches like Diaspro had. He didn't know how his parents would react once he gave them the news, but all he knew was that he loved Bloom very much and would never let her go.
AlfeaOver at alfea, classes had already ended. Bloom told the girls she had to talk to Daphne and that she would be back soon.
After she left, Tecna stayed talking on the phone with Timmy, Musa listened to music with Layla, while Stella left with Flora to the magix mall to help her buy a dress for her date with Helia.
Bloom met Daphne at a café. Daphne was already there waiting.
"Bloom hi!" She said getting up from her seat and hugging her tightly. Although they had seen each other that morning, she was acting as though she hadn't seen Bloom in ages. Daphne was just so sweet, and being Bloom's big sister, she felt like it was her duty to protect Bloom as long as she was around or this close.
"Daphne, its good to see you again!" Bloom said laughing as they each sat down again.
"I don't mean to get mushy or anything, but you laugh just like mom", She said with a slight smile.
"Yea…your lucky you got to know her, sometimes I dream of her, other times I just wonder what she looked like" Bloom told her sadly.
"Hey, down worry about it, just picture yourself about 15 or 25 years older and you got yourself an image of mom", Daphne said, and they both began laughing.
This was definitely going to be a fun afternoon.
