Ranma slowly headed to where she knew the Winx dorm was located, pretending to use the map Faragonda had given her, Bloom could feel how nervous Ranma was and she could feel how nervous Bloom was, she stopped just outside the dorm, Ranma raised her hand to knock on the door, hesitating to do so.
'It's okay Ranma…you don't have to be nervous' Bloom said in a comforting tone, hoping to calm Ranma down.
'You say that when you're just as nervous as I am' Ranma muttered back, this was all new to him and even with Bloom's support it didn't make the experience any less scary, she lightly knocked on the door, movement was heard on the other side before the door slowly opened.
A tall blonde girl in attire that left very little to the imagination opened the door and stared at Ranma for a moment, Ranma recognised her as Stella, she could see that Stella wasn't exactly happy, her eyes seemed unfocused and dark, an aura of depression surrounding her, not that Ranma blamed her, Bloom had died only a couple days ago.
"Yes?" Stella asked.
"Hi, I'm your new roommate" Ranma replied, as he handed her a note Faragonda had given her to prove her claim, Stella studied it for a moment, Ranma offered her hand to the blonde girl, not really surprised when she didn't take it, she simply stood back and motioned for her to come in.
"Hey, you'll be sharing with Flora in that room" Stella stated as she pointed to one of the other doors.
"Thanks" Ranma sighed as she headed to the room Stella had indicated to, Ranma entered the room to see a girl with tanned skin and lavender hair laid on one of the beds just staring at the ceiling, Ranma recognised her as Flora, he could feel Bloom's reaction to seeing her friends like this, it was breaking her heart and Ranma was more than tempted to announce that Bloom's spirit was within her body and that she had sort of survived her final battle with Valtor.
Flora glanced at the doorway to see who had entered her room, her brows furrowed when she saw the young redhead.
"Hi" Ranma greeted as she went and sat on the spare bed.
"Hey?" Flora greeted in a questioning manner as she sat up.
"I'm your new roommate Ranma" Ranma greeted as he offered the nature fairy her hand.
"I'm Flora" Flora replied as she lightly shook Ranma's hand.
"Nice to meet you…so how you holding up?" Ranma asked not entirely sure what to talk about in this situation, Flora raised an eyebrow at Ranma's question.
"What do you mean?" Flora asked in her usual sweet tone.
"You know…after what happened" Ranma replied unsure how to talk about this subject and cursing herself for bringing this topic up.
"What?" Flora asked.
"About what happened to Bloom" Ranma replied.
"How'd you…?" Flora began.
"I met her in Japan two years ago…she's the reason I came here actually" Ranma admitted.
"Oh…I see…well…it's just you know" Flora replied not entirely comfortable about talking about her roommate and best friend's death so soon after it had happened, Ranma averted her gaze realizing how much of a mess she'd made.
An awkward silence filled the room as the duo tried to search something they could talk about to clear the tension in the air.
"So…what was it like in Japan?" Flora asked.
"Hell on Earth" Ranma replied as she averted her gaze once again.
"Really? How could it have been that bad?" Flora asked in a confused tone.
"Let's just say Bloom was the only good thing that happened" Ranma replied, looking for a way to drop the subject.
