Chapter 24: Whole

Bloom and Daphne had spent the entire afternoon together. It was so much fun. They laughed, ate pie, and everything that sisters would do together. They did things that they had missed out on doing together for the last 16 years. They even went to the mall for a little while, which made her feel a little bad because she had not invited Stella. She would have but she thought it would be more appropriate to spend time with Daphne-, which she hardly ever did- and go to the mall with Stella later.

"Bloom, its been great spending the day with you, but its already 6 pm and I don't want your teachers or friends to worry, or for you to get in trouble. So I'll see you some time this week. We'll see."

"Okay, bye Daphne…I love you" She said, for the first time.

"I love you too, little sister." Daphne said. She smiled, and left. Bloom turned around and walked back into the school. When she got into the dorm room, all the girls were there. To her surprise, so were the guys.

"Guys, what are you doing here?" Bloom asked, a bit shocked.

"Hey Bloom, we've been waiting for you", Sky said smiling. She smiled back sweetly.

"Oh darling, remember we said we were going to invite the boys over tonight? And also we're celebrating, because Flora and Helia are engaged!" Stella told her.

"Oh really! Oh my God, congratulations you guys!" She said hugging Flora, then Helia.

"Oh, yea sorry, how long have you guys been here?" She asked now feeling a bit embarrassed. Sky, Helia and Riven were sitting on chairs near Stella's bed. Timmy was on the floor along with Layla and Musa. Techna was sitting at the edge of the bed along with Stella, Brandon, and Flora.

"Not long, only about 15 minutes", Brandon told her.

"Oh good, so I didn't miss out on too much" She said. She smiled at Sky and took a seat on the floor between Musa and Layla.

"No you didn't, so…aren't you going to tell us?" Stella asked.

"Tell you what Stella?" Bloom asked.

"Tell us where you've been all afternoon silly! You were gone for a very long time", She pointed out.

"I told you I would be spending the afternoon with Daphne", She told them.

"Oh you mean the nymph near the lake?" Musa asked, forgetting that it was her sister.

"Daphne the nymph is her sister, Musa" Techna clarified.

"Oh that's right, sorry B' " Said Musa.

"Don't worry about it Muse, and yea she is my sister, I spend the afternoon with her just talking and well, hanging out. It felt good. I guess I hadn't realized just how much I miss her, until now" Bloom said.

"Oh that's great sweetie, I'm glad you got to spend some time together". Flora told her.

"Surely you'll still have time to be with us, right?" Stella asked.

"Of course" Bloom answered.

"Okay, who wants to play a game of…" Stella continued talking, while everyone else was suggesting games.

Sky walked over to Bloom, and whispered, " Can I talk to you for a minute outside?"

"Sure" Bloom said.

Once they were both outside the dorm room, Sky said, "I was wondering if you were doing anything this Friday?"

"No I'm not" Bloom said, she was feeling a bit excited because she felt that Sky was about to ask her out on a date.

"Oh great, well, I was thinking that maybe we could go out, I can't tell you where, though, it's sort of a surprise"

"Okay, then it a date" She replied smiling. Sky smiled back warmly.

Back inside the dorm room, while all her friends were talking and chatting away, Flora thought back at what a wonderful date she had had with Helia that night. It was absolutely beautiful! He took her to a large garden where there were many red roses. In the middle of the garden was a fountain. Near the fountain was a small round table with candles and their dinner waiting for them. Flora could believe her eyes. Helia took her by the hand and lead her towards the table. They sat down and enjoyed their dinner; Flora complimented Helia at least 1,000 times. He complimented her on how beautiful she looked.

After dinner, Helia told Flora "Since the first day I met you, I knew you were the one, my life, my sun and moon. I knew I would no longer be able to take a breath, not unless I had you". And with that being said, he knelt down on one knee in front of Flora, and asked her "Will you marry me?"

At this point, Flora had tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe what Helia had just said to her. It was so sweet, she loved his so much and she also knew that he was the one, the one person that she would want to spend the rest of her life with.

And her answer was "Of course!" As he put the ring on her finger, she through her arms around his neck and he spun her around. She couldn't believe this was happening to her.

"Flora, Flora?" Helia called taking her out of her thoughts.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were calling me," She said.

"Is everything alright? You seem to be distracted" Helia asked her.

"No. Everything's all right. I'm just so happy we're engaged". She said gazing at the beautiful diamond ring on her finger. Helia pulled her into a hug and smiled.
