"That was a great date." Stella sighed, collapsing on her bed in her room.
"Yeah, it was pretty good." Bloom agreed, taking a seat on the couch.
"Agreed." Layla plopped down next to Bloom.
"We just have to go to classes tomorrow...." Tecna took a seat. "And there's a test in Wizgiz's class, I think."
"Oh, great...." Layla groaned.
"Well, better get to studying!" Flora twirled happily over to her desk and pulled out a boook.
"...How are you so upbeat about studying?" Stella asked, staring at Flora in disbelief.
She shrugged, flipping to a page and munching on an organic carrot.

The pixies, who had been playing Bumbelini Ball, returned late that evening. Right when everyone was heading to bed.
"Lockette! Where have you been?" Bloom hugged her pixie of portals close.
"Shhh, Bloom!" Lockette glanced around. "I have a surprise for you, follow me." She took off and Bloom changed into normal clothes and followed her pixie, careful not to wake anyone up.
"Lockette? What's this all about? Oh!" Bloom was surprised to see everyone but Flora waiting for her just outside the room.
"Digit, this is illogical... what are we doing...?" Tecna rubbed her eyes.
"Honestly Tune... isn't it a little rude to wake us up so late...." Musa grumbled.
"Guys, we have a surprise... follow us!" Amore took off down the hall, the other pixies in hot pursuit. The girls chased after their pixies sleepily, not even noticing Flora wasn't with them even though Chatta was.

Flora woke up to find Bloom, Lockette and Chatta gone. "Huh... that's strange...." She went to wake up Stella. "Stella, Bloom's gone! ...Stella?" She pushed open the door to find Stella and Amore gone. "This is just too weird...." She made her way to Tecna and Musa's room, pushing it open. "Girls?" Nothing. Empty. Deserted. No Tune or Digit, either. She made her way to the room Layla stayed in with another girl from Alfea. The other girl was there, but Piff and Layla weren't.
Flora returned to the room she shared with Bloom, looking at their calenders. Nothing special was happening today or tomorrow or even a week from now.
Kiko came bouncing over to her, looking worse for the wear.
"Kiko! What happened to you!?" A hand flew to Flora's mouth and she fell to her knees, scooping the little bunny of in her arms. Some of his fur was singed and he even had bald patches. He didn't do much other than hand a piece of paper to her. "What's this...?" She set Kiko down on her bed and took the paper, unfolding it.
Flora, nature faerie of Linphea,
Your friends are in grave danger. All of them. Let me list them for you, so you know which friends exactly;
Princess Bloom of Sparx, Princess Stella of Solaria, Princess Layla of Tides, Princess Musa of the Harmonic Nebula, and Princess Tecna of Zenith. Oh, but that's not all. Prince Sky of Eraklyon, his squire, Brandon, Nabu of Tides from Red Fountain, Riven from Red Fountain, Timmy of Red Fountain, and Helia, nephew of Saladin of Red Fountain. Oh, wait. Your Pixie friends too; Chatta, Lockette, Amore, Piff, Digit, and Tune. Hmm, and we can never forget family. Your mother and father, King and Queen of Linphea, and your darling little sister Rose. What are you going to do to save them, Princess? Oh, there's nothing you can do....
Flora blinked back the tears after reading the letter. "We have to take this to Miss Faragonda, right away!" She scooped up Kiko again and went running for the office.
**
"Kiko delivered the letter to me... he came in looking like this, the poor thing." Flora held Kiko up, and he patted down his singed fur gingerly.
"I see." Miss Faragonda read the letter over for the fourth time. "Flora. This looks like a mission you will have to take over yourself."
"Me?" Flora looked shocked. "But... Miss Faragonda... I'm not the strongest here, what if I fail?"
"You won't. We'll help you out as much as we can but you'll have to take the major charge of this mission.
**
Flora laid quietly in her bed, trying to ignore the fact that Bloom's light breathing wasn't there or Stella's snoring was absent.... She hugged Kiko close. "Everything will be okay Kiko... we'll get everyone back...."
**
In the morning, Flora blinked groggily. She didn't even remember falling asleep. Kiko was curled up on her stomach, and there was another letter in her hand. "Oh, dear...."
Opening it, she saw the writing that was on the first letter.
Flora, nature faerie of Linphea,
I'll give you a hint on your mission to save your friends - which you will no doubtedly fail. There is still magic on Earth.
"Still magic on Earth...." She murmured to herself. "I know where I'm going to try and find my friends...."
She headed to Miss Faragonda's office after changing. "I'm going to Earth to try and look for them."
After Miss Faragonda had read the letter over, she smiled. "That's a good idea Flora. We'll find them in no time."
Flora went to go pack; tomorrow she'd head straight to Earth, and to wherever this creep was keeping her friends.

Authors Note; Okay. I know it's probably pretty bland right now. I apologise. I have some serious non-suck coming up soon. Just stick with me, please. And let me know how I'm doing.
