Chapter 26: To Friends
Almost two had passed, the girls went to classes, they and the guys continued to call each other. Bloom sat by the window thinking, just thinking. It had been a while since she saw or even spoke to her parents, and she really missed them. She knew she couldn't just go to earth without letting anyone know, that would be insane and everyone would worry. She would let them know first, then go for a day or two, after asking for Ms.Faragonda's permission of course.
This week they hadn't actually seen their boyfriends much though because of all the schoolwork they had.
Just then Stella walked in.
"All right I'm off hon."
"Date with Brandon?" Bloom asked.
"Oh my God, how did you guess?" Stella asked, not really surprised.
"You guys go out a lot lately, you're very close". Bloom told her.
"Well, yea, we really are! I'm so happy. And well, I've been thinking. Our wedding is coming up really soon and we've decided that I want you to be my bridesmaid and Brandon wants Sky to be his best man".
"Oh my God! Stella I'd be honored…and not that I'm not grateful, but what about the other girls?" She asked.
"Oh don't worry, I spoke to Flora about it, and we thought maybe we could take turns. Flora wants Techna and Timmy as her bridesmaid and best man and as for Layla; we also want to talk to her about it. That way, we all take turns being bridesmaid at each others weddings." She explained.
"That sounds like a great idea Stella, I'm sure Layla and the other girls will like it too", Bloom said.
"Well, I don't want to be late so I'll see you darling", Stella said walking out.
"Okay, later Stella", Bloom said waving goodbye.
In a realm somewhat far away, Diaspro had been at it for days, planning something somewhat unexpected. But who's to know, right?
Diaspro knew that she seemed beyond desperate with all the schemes she had come up with, but she couldn't let Sky go. She refused to do so. It wasn't fair how she had studied, and taken classes for nearly 3 years just to learn how to become a proper princess. Truthfully, she had never known anyone inferior to her to have something that she didn't already have.
She always had everything, but then she met Bloom, and she realized that she had everything but her fiancée, Sky. Bloom, who was a simple earth girl, had her prince. And she, princess Diaspro, didn't know what to make of it. And she still didn't, she just wanted to be happy. Have her prince back, she wanted everything to go back to the way it was when she was planning her wedding and everyone knew about it and couldn't wait.
"Princess Bloom of Sparx, the surprise of you're life has come. I hope you're ready…"
The rest of the week went by pretty fast. As it turned out, Sky had chosen their date to be a Friday, well, because that Friday was a ball at red fountain. And Alfea and cloud tower were also invited. The ball seemed to be a very important one. Some professors and students from schools in other realms were invited. Bloom was more than excited. She pulled her dress out of the closet on Friday afternoon. It was a beautiful light golden dress. It was long and very elegant; the dress almost reached the floor, but not quite. She looked at her reflection in the mirror. The dress had very short sleeves and her hair was curled and pulled up in a bun. She looked gorgeous.
Flora's dress was a dark shade of pink; it was a gown, almost as long as Bloom's dress. She wore her hair down.
Stella's dress was a very light purple, and she also wore her hair up; Musa's dress was red and was also a gown. Layla's dress was a darkish purple color and Techna's a light blue. Each one of them looked stunning. The guys were supposed to pick them up.
At Red Fountain"Are you guys ready?" Brandon asked. "The girls are waiting for us".
"Yea, we're ready, at least I am", Riven said.
Just then there was a knock at the door.
"Sky, its for you", Called Timmy. Sky, who was adjusting his tux, walked out of his room, all the guys were gathered by the door. And by the expression on Brandon's face, it didn't look like anything good. Sky stood in the door way and heard Brandon talking.
"Diaspro, Sky told you never to come back! I don't get it. You know he doesn't like you, you know he loves Bloom so why bother? Why?" He asked, or demanded…
"You don't understand, you think he's the only one who can't take this? Well, I cant take it either! Our parents made an alliance when we were very young so that Sky and I would get married. Frankly, you and I both know very well that if Bloom hadn't come along we would be married by now!" She said. And in a way she was right. They were about to get married and would have if not for Bloom. But it was better for Sky to meet Bloom and break the alliance with Diaspro, than marry her and then meet Bloom, his true love.
Sky hearing all this, didn't want to walk over to the door and go through with this again. It was exhausting and truthfully, he was more than sick of it. And besides, it was time to pick up the girls and they were already running late. He decided that he might as well get it over with. What he didn't know was that the girls had gotten tired of waiting, and made their way to red fountain themselves.
Alfea"I can't believe they did this to us! They said they would pick us up and instead stood us up!" Stella said quite furious.
"Relax Stella, I'm sure they have an excuse", Layla said, trying to calm her down.
"Yea, you know that's not like them", Musa added.
"Yea, I guess", Stella said.
They flew for another fifteen minutes until they got there. Helia, Riven, and Brandon met them right outside the dorm; Nabu would come later to red fountain as Layla's escort.
"Cupcake! I am so sorry we didn't pick you guys up, you walked here?" Brandon asked Stella. By the look on her face, he could tell that she wasn't too happy.
"No, fortunately we have wings so we flew here!" She said irritably.
"Why didn't you guys show up?" She asked, this time a little more calm.
"It's a bit hard to explain, lets go downstairs and I'll tell you". He said taking Stella's arm in his.
"Wait, where are Sky and Timmy?" Bloom asked.
"Oh they're inside" Helia said, not looking too happy. Bloom didn't understand what was going on, but she didn't want to wait to find out. Where is Sky? Why didn't he come for me? What's going on?
She and Techna stayed behind while the other guys and girls went into the ball.
Inside Sky's dorm, she heard him talking, almost yelling. He sounded a bit aggravated. She also her a female voice. She felt pain inside, not jealousy. By the sounds of it, he was getting angrier and angrier by the minute. It must be Diaspro. 'Why can't she leave us alone?' She thought.
The door was open, so she quietly walked inside, she stood right at the door, hurt because Sky hadn't seemed to notice her at first. Techna gasped, and put a hand on Bloom's shoulder trying to console her. She was now on the verge of tears. It wasn't until she sobbed, that Sky and Diaspro turned around to see her.
"Bloom…" Sky said. He just stared at her for a second. On one hand she look absolutely gorgeous, and on the other she was crying. Although Sky knew this wasn't really his fault, for he hadn't planned on Diaspro showing up, but he felt guilty because for one, he had stood her up, not purposely, but he had. And although what she had just seen was only he and his ex arguing, Diaspro had hurt her so much, how could he even let her in.
"Oh look, its that stupid pixie, what is she doing here Sky?" Diaspro asked.
Sky didn't take his eyes off Bloom. He was about to talk but Bloom beat him to it.
"Sky what's going on?" Bloom finally asked.
"Bloom, I…nothing Diaspro was just leaving, and like I was just telling her, she has no business here!" He said.
"Of course I do, Sky, don't you see, that girl, just isn't good enough for you", She said, trying to put a hand on his cheek, but he pushed her away. Techna couldn't watch anymore and intervened.
"Diaspro just leave! Sky's right, you have no business here, so just be on your way and leave them both alone." Said Techna.
"You have no business in this situation, this is something between Sky and I, so stay out!"
"Don't talk to her like that!" Yelled Bloom
"Diaspro, they're both right, this is too much", Sky said.
"You agree with them?" Diaspro said. Then Techna jumped in.
"I know we barely know each other, but I can tell so much about you, you're so used to things going your way! According to your plan! Well, guess what, it didn't work out the way you planned it to, but oh no, when things don't go your way everyone suffers. Leave everyone alone, live your life and stop hurting and interfering with everyone else's." She finally finished saying. Diaspro stared at her wide-eyed.
"How dare you? You're right we barely know each other, and you have no right what's so ever to treat me that way!" Diaspro said. She walked away angrily.
Timmy, who was just standing there quietly, was pushed as she walked by him. He just stood there, and after she was gone, walked over to Techna and greeted her.
"Techna that was very…brave", he said slightly blushing.
"Thank you" She said smiling widely, taking his arm.
"Thanks Tec, you're a great friend!" Bloom said hugging her tightly.
Sky walked over to Bloom, he wanted to apologize so bad, and just take her to the ball.
"Bloom I am so sorry, I didn't mean to keep you waiting, but Diaspro showed up…and I couldn't help arguing with her", He said.
"Its alright Sky" Bloom said smiling," I'm just glad she's gone",
Sky wiped her tears and took her hand "I love you" He told her.
"I love you too", she said.
"Alright, alright you guys, we should get down to the ball", Techna said.
Bloom and Sky laughed to themselves. Sky put his arms around Bloom and led her out of the dorm and to the area where the ball was taking place. It had been decorated beautifully.
As Diaspro was leaving red fountain, she knew that she had given up too soon. She left too hastily. But was there still hope for her? She didn't know. The only guy she had ever known to be a perfect prince was Sky. There had to be some way that they could be together. What did he see in Bloom that he didn't see in her? She would figure it out, because as of now, she just couldn't see it.
When Bloom, Sky, Techna and Timmy arrived they found the other couples by a table talking.
"Hey guys, is everything all right?" asked Musa.
"Yea, everything is all right", Bloom said calmly and smiling.
She noticed that Nabu was standing next to Layla. He had all ready arrived. She was so happy for them. They made a great couple.
"Oh I'm sorry guys, Layla, Nabu I didn't say hi," She said apologetically.
"Its all right" Nabu said, then Sky said "Now that we're all here, I think we should make a toast, to friends" Everyone agreed and raised their cups, "To friends", they all said in unison.
"This is weird, making a toast with fruit punch" Riven said, everyone began laughing. This would be one fun party.
