Hey all! Midterm exams are finally over and I can continue my story! This is the last part for Adventure to Lynfea! Enjoy!
Everyone walks through the newly opened paths to an open clearing with a single glowing bush at the center of it. All meeting up in the center. Some are happy, while others could be having a better day.
The bush illuminates the nights sky with its purplish-blue colors. It radiates heat, warmth, and positive energy. At the top of the small bush, there is one yet to bloom flower waiting to be picked.
"There's the Plutonia bush." says Bloom clutching Sky's hand.
"Great, now can we get it and get out of here?" asks Tecna, her arms crossed
"Ok!" Riven walks up to the plant, extends his arm to the single glowing flower, but jumps back suddenly.
"Ow! There's a shield around it." he says taking out his phantoblade.
"Everyone hit the shield, maybe we can break it!" yells Riven. All the boys walk up and hit the shield at the same time. It deflects their blow and sends them flying backwards
"Sky!"
"Brandon!"
"Jake! Are you alright?!"
"No! Riven!"
"Timmy? What happened?"
Layla walks up to the bush and examines it
"Maybe it doesn't take force. Maybe it takes magic?" she says
"What do you mean?" asked Bloom helping Sky up
"Magic, we need to do a convergence spell, maybe that will break the protective barrier!" says Layla
"Fine! WINX BELIEVIX!" yells Bloom
"CORA MAGIC HOPIX!" yells Cora
"Winx convergence!" yells the whole group in unison. When their blast of energy hits the barrier, it begins melting away like an ice cube on a hot summer day.
"Its Working!" yells Cora. Right when it looked like the barrier was destroyed, it reflected the energy sending the girls back in every direction. As everyone recovers, the boys help them up
"Why didn't it work? We were so close?" asks Stella
"Something threw off the balance of the energy. It was balanced at first, but it tipped." says Tecna
"Great!" says Musa
"Hey, remember what Flora said? Something about positive energy?" asks Layla
"Yeah, we must only have positive energy. Any negative will throw us off balance. We must be filled with positive energy. No doubts, fear, or hate." says Bloom
"Ok! Let's do this again!" yells Musa flying over to the bush. Tecna looks at Timmy and thinks back to the quick sand. But shakes her head and only thinks about the happy memories from her life, the positive ones.
"Ready? We all filled with positive energy?" asks Bloom. Everyone circles the the Plutonian bush and harnesses their energy.
"Winx Convergence!" they use their strongest spells on the barrier.
"Look! It's working! Keep it up!" everyone has a hard time controlling their powers without letting go of themselves. They continue until the barrier explodes releasing beams of light and energy.
"We did it! It worked!" yells Stella. Everyone stands up and stares at the only bush in existence that has the cure for Floras rare, mysterious sickness
"Someone get the flower." says Layla. Bloom being the closest reaches out
"Wait!" yells Cora
"What?" asks Bloom, arm still extended
"The barrier required complete positive energy. Don't you think the flower will too?" asks Cora
"She may have a point." says Tecna
"Are you still filled with positive energy?" asks Sky
"I...no." Bloom lowers her hand and backs away
"Than who is? It's getting dark, we have to get going soon!" says Timmy. Everyone looks around afraid to admit they aren't filled with positive energy. Only one person was.
"You are." says Riven to Musa
"I am? I can't be sure." says Musa looking up at him
"Believe me, you are." says Riven assuringly
"Ok." Musa walks forward slowly and reaches out for the blue and purple glittering flower. When she touches it, she is filled with warmth and happiness, and becomes a beacon of light. When the light goes out, it reveals Musa holding a blossomed flower sprinkling sparkles on the ground. Then behind everyone, the trees and grass move aside to open a path leading back to the ship.
"Whoa..." says Brandon slowly
"You were right Riven! She had positive energy!" says Bloom to Riven
"The sun! It's completely set! We need to get going come on!" says Cora turning around heading to the new open passageway. Everyone follows her with Musa trailing behind, holding the delicate flower.
Back on the ship, everyone settles down ready for takeoff.
"Everyone ready?" asks Timmy running the controls
"We're all good!" replies Sky. The ship takes off and sets course to Alfea, where Flora was waiting for the remedy.
At Alfea
Flora lays on her bed looking out the window at the darkening horizon. The only thing keeping her going was hope. Hope that her friends would be back soon with that flower, she couldn't hold on for much longer.
"I'm afraid her fever is rising. And shes forgotten where she is or what her name is, the sickness is getting worse" says the nurse to Helia outside the bedroom
"How much longer?" Helia looks through the open doorway at his girlfriend
"Maybe an hour before she loses consciousness, after that, probably around 24 hours before her heart fails" the nurse whispers in shame
"No" Helia looks down at the ground
"They will return with the Plutonia, we can trust them" she says before turning around and walking away. Helia enters the bedroom and sits beside Flora's bed. She turns to look at him and smiles
"Hi" she whispers. Helia takes a cloth and wipes her forehead
"Flora" he's on the break of tears when she cups his cheek
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere" Flora whispers
"I know" Helia replies. He didn't want to lose Flora. She was one of the best things that have happened to him in the past three years, he couldn't bear it if she was taken away from him. The only thing he could hope for was that they got back with that flower soon.
On the ship
With Timmy, Sky, and Brandon at the controls, everyone else was sitting around deep in their own thought. Riven suddenly stands up and makes his way to the back
"I'll go to the storage room and take...inventory!" says Riven grabbing Musas hand as he walks back. When they get there he closes the door, turns on the light, and pulls her close.
"Riven whats going on?" Musa asks him. He takes a big breath and says
"I love you." he whispers
"You what?" the engine below them was pretty noisy
"Musa, I love you." he's says louder.
"You do?" Musa puts her hand on his cheek and reveals her biggest smile on her face
"Yeah." he says
"I love you too Riven!" she says kissing him
"But what made you say it so suddenly?" she pulls away
"I just don't want to lose you again." he says
"Well that's good to hear. That you can say it and all! But Riven I would never leave you because you had a hard time saying you loved me" she smiles
"Yeah well you never know what could happen. I've never said it before." he says
"Well I am honored to be the first!" they kiss passionately
"Brandon, can I sit with you?" she sits next to her boyfriend who seems to be deep in thought
"Uh, yeah, I guess." he says
"You ok?" Stella asks
"Yep" he looks up and fiddles his hands. She's takes one of them in her own and examines his face, but he keeps his head down.
"Brandon tell me what's wrong?!" she demands
"Nothing's wrong Stella." he get up and walks back to the control panel. Stella stares in amazement. Brandon rarely to never acts this way, why was he now?
"Tecna? Can we talk?" Timmy walks up to Tecna
"Yeah, what?" she says with no patience for him
"Did I do something to offend you?" he comes straight out and takes her by surprise. She didn'texpect him to just come out with it. Usually she had to give him hints that he was upset..
"Uhm, no, not really." she looks him right in the eyes
"But I did something?" he says back, Tecna let's out a heavy sigh
"Yeah Timmy, you did." Tecna says
"What did I do?" he asks
"Timmy, when I was sinking in that quick sand, you referred to logic than to me. You were making calculations while I was sinking in that sand! I tell you what to do in order to save me and you say it's illogical?!" she pours out what she's been thinking about for the past hour and a half
"I just wanted to make sure I did it right. I only had one chance to save you. I didn't want to make a mistake. I couldn't risk losing you." he looks down at the floor and adjusts his glasses
"You sure?" she asks
"I'm positive." he says
"Great! Because I couldn't stand being mad at you!" she smiles and they embrace.
"I'm sure happy to hear that!" he squeezes her back
"Guys, we're here!" says Sky pointing to Alfea
"Let's get that flower to Flora!" says Layla
"Yeah!" everyone cheers
The flower is given to the nurse who turns it into the necessary remedy for Flora. After that is done, Flora is alseep in her room with Helia while everyone else is around the school dealing with their own personal problems.
In the bedroom, it's just a sleeping Flora and a very tired Helia. His struggles to stay awake and preoccupies himself by reading one of Stellas magazines. Floras eyes flutter and begin to open. He doesn't notice this because he's reading something really interesting on fashion design. Well, it was either because he though it was interesting or he was too tired to look away from the words. Flora's eyes are fully open and she is fully awake by now. She looks around and smiles when she sees Helia sitting awkwardly on a chair with a magazine in front of his face. She reaches out and moves the magazine. Helia gives her a dazed look and widens his eyes when he realizes she is revived.
"Flora!" Helia drops the magazine wraps his arms around her. She giggles and does the same
"You're ok?" Helia moves her hair from out of her eyes
"Yeah, I feel perfect" Flora sits up and stretches
"So your memory is fine?" Helia leans back
"Yep, you're my...cousin right?" Flora smiles innocently and a horrified look comes to Helias face.
"I'm joking Helia, calm down!" Flora leans in and pecks him on the cheek. Then there's a knock on the door
"Come in!" Helia takes Floras hand a squeezes it
"How are we feeling?" the nurse enters the room
"We are feeling great, thanks to my friends" Flora replies
"Good, that's good" she glances around the room nervously
"Is something wrong?" Helia knows nervous looks when he sees them
"Well, Flora it seems you didn't come upon the sickness accidentally. As I said before, that was very rare" the nurse places down her clipboard
"Well, who would want to poison Flora with deadly disease?" Helia questions
"Well...there are the Trix" Flora speaks out
"I thought they were banished?" the nurse cocks her head
"I thought so too, but Cora mentioned seeing them a few weeks ago, which we all believed to be impossible. But over the past four years, I've learned that nothing it impossible" Flora turns her eyes to the floor
"Hey, it's ok" Helia pats her hand
"Well, we still don't know who would go to the trouble of finding a the pollen in the first place, but we'll have to continue searching. For now, enjoy the time with you friends." she stands up and starts for the door
"Where are they by the way?" Flora asks
"I believe they are around the building. Most of them looked like they were in a daze when they returned, quite odd actually." she smiles and exits the room. Helia turns to Flora
"I'm so glad you're okay" Helia sighs
"So am I" Flora leans forwards and places her lips gently on his. He embraces her tightly making the silent vow to never let go.
Outside the Building
Brandon sits on the front steps starring at the ground. He is alone, for many of the students are in bed. Storm clouds loom overhead, describing just how Brandon feels.
"Brandon there you are! I've been looking all over for you!" Stella runs over and takes a seat beside him
"Hey Stella" Brandon looks in the opposite direction
"Brandon?" Stella turns his head to face her
"You alright?" she questions
"Actually, I'm not" Brandon removes her hand from his chin and faces forward
"Well what is it?" Stella looks at pleadingly
"Stella, have you ever thought about what your gonna do ten years from now? When you become Queen?" Brandon says, Stella laughs
"Well I don't intend to become Queen until my father gives up the throne and it is truly necessary, why do you ask?" she asks back
"Cuz I'm not royalty, I'm a page from Eraklyon" Brandon mumbles
"Why does that matter?" Stella looks at him
"When it's time for you to marry, you should marry a prince, someone who can give you everything a prince can" Brandon says
"Don't be silly, I don't need to marry a prince, anyway that's years from-" she begins, but he interrupts
"But you should, and being with a page who can't give you any of that won't help" it begins to drizzle
"But I-" Stella is speechless, what was he getting at?
"I think it's time we move on. You should find a prince who suits you. Who can give you everything you want and need" Brandon stands up, it rains harder
"Wait, what do you mean?" Stella grabs his hand
"I mean I'm breaking up with you Stella, you deserve so much better than me" Brandon walks away into the now pouring rain
"Wait, Brandon, what are you thinking?!" Stella stands up. Brandon stops and turns his head slightly backwards
"I'm thinking about our future, your future. Goodbye Stella" Brandon walks away and dissapears into the darkness of the night beyond the Alfea arch
"Wait! Brandon noooo!" Stella suns after him in the rain. She slips on mud and falls hard to the ground letting out a blood shrieking scream. Brandon stops and turns around. The tears he's been holding rush down his cheek
"I'm sorry" he whispers to himself and continues into the forest in the direction of Red Fountain
"Brandon no" Stella mumbles lying in the dirt in the pouring rain.
Musa's bedroom
"I love you Musa" Riven buries his face in her hair. He is sitting on a chair with Musa propped on his lap. Her chin is resting on his shoulder and she's caressing his neck.
"Don't worry, I'm not leaving you any time soon" Musa giggles and kisses his cheek. The love between these two love birds is practically palpable, but it only makes their relationship stronger.
Bloom and Sky
"That was a fun adventure don't you think?" Sky leans against the wall in the hallway outside the girls dorm
"Considaring I don't remember much of it, yeah sure" Bloom stands beside him
"The pollen from the flowers probably made you act that way" Sky closes his eyes from exhaustion
"What did I do again?" Bloom shakes her head and looks at him
"You wanted me to smell the flowers. You said all the stress would go away" Sky looks at her and smiles
"Bet I was horrible" Bloom smiles shyly
"I got you back didn't I?" Sky reaches out and strokes her hair
"I'm glad you did" Bloom slides closer to him and rests her head on his chest
"Well I wasn't going to give up until I did, I can promise you that" He rests his head on hers and they both close their eyes enjoying their moment if embrace.
"Can we go inside?" Bloom whispers
"Yeah, let's go" Sky takes her hand and leads her into the common room. Inside, Stella is sitting on the couch covered with mud.
"Stella?!" Bloom rushes over to her
"Are you alright?" Sky crouches in front of her. Stella starred at the floor, she hadn't even bothered to wipe the mud from her face
"Stella, you've been crying, what's wrong?" Bloom grabs a napkin and wipes her best friends face gently
"He did it" Stella whispers
"Who did what?" Sky hands her a glass of water
"Brandon, he broke up with me"
