Irma landed outside of Alfea, cold, wet and hungry. De-transformed Irma sighed. "This job is getting harder. Maybe it's because I'm alone," Plodding over to the heavy front doors of Alfea's main entrance. Irma looked at the sky as it was dark and the stars were easily seen. She quickly changed her gaze towards where her room was and watched her new-found-friends silhouettes jump and dance around. Irma slowly tore her gaze away and pushed open the insanely heavy doors.
Once inside, she heard her stomach growl.
"You really should go get something to eat," a rough female voice sounded from behind her.
Irma jumped and whirled around to come face to face with the head of discipline.
"P-p-professor G-g-griselda," Irma stammered. 'I've faced a 20ft. snake, 2 evil tyrants with an unquenched thirst for power and my death, and not once was I afraid. Yet one look from Griselda and I'm running scared.' Irma thought.
"Yes" Griselda drawled out.
"Umm…. Are you sure the chef won't mind?"
"We can't have you die of starvation now, can we?" Griselda said while scowling.
'Does she ever smile?' Irma thought. "Thank you Professor."
Once she arrived at the kitchen. Irma decided she was going to raid one of Alfea's dozens of fridges, then vaporize all the Brussels sprouts in the kitchen.
Time passes...
Irma fell into the room she shared with Stella causing a loud crash. Cursing slightly, Irma looked up, praying she hadn't woken her. Unfortunately, Stella had sat up and was glaring at her.
"Who Are You?" Stella demanded.
"It's only me Stella," Irma replied "Just got back from Zamballa."
Irma's air supply was suddenly cut off as Stella had run over and was hugging her tightly.
"I'm so glad you're okay. You know, we spent ages trying to convince Palladium to create a portal so we could come and help you out. But he said no, so we…" Stella ranted
-Flashback-
"But Professor -" Bloom started.
"Bloom, no," Palladium replied. "Do think if I say no the first time ill say yes the second?"
"No, but you might on the 99th time," Stella laughed "Please Professor."
"No."
"Please," Stella said.
"No,"
"Please, please, please, please," Musa joined in.
"No," Palladium groaned he could feel a headache coming on.
"Please, please," Bloom also joined.
"No,"
"Please," Techna laughed.
Flora walked over and saw Professor Palladium on the verge of a nervous breakdown. "Professor, please can you open a portal for us" Flora said in her sweetest voice that she used whenever she got into trouble.
"Please, please, please" They all chorused.
-End Flashback-
"I get the idea" Irma cut her off.
"So tell me, what happened on Zamballa?"
Irma yawned loudly behind her hand "In the morning."
Next morning...
Irma woke up earlier than she'd expected. Looking over at Stella she laughed. Unsurprisingly, she was still asleep. Irma tip-toed out of the room and made herself a cup of hot chocolate from the small 'kitchen' in the hidden corner of the hallway. Flora quietly came out of her and Blooms room. "Morning," Flora greeted with a yawn.
"Morning Flo," Irma replied.
"How was your 'trip' to Zamballa? Had fun?" Flora asked.
"Hmmm… let see" Irma mused tapping her chin in fake thought "I defeated an entire army of Lurdens, made Phobos run away and befriended the guardian of Zamballa, who is also the ex-guardian of Earth, Kadma."
"Wow, I don't know how you do it." Flora said.
"Come to think of it, neither do I," Irma replied.
Flora laughed lightly. "We better wake the rest up, or they'll miss breakfast"
"How does a gallon of ice-cold water on each girl sound like?" Irma asked as she placed her finger on her chin with a smirk.
"Irma, don't be mean" Flora giggled.
"Fine. I'll wake Musa and Techna up," Irma said, walking over to their room.
"Hey! Thanks for leaving the ones for me that might vaporize me!" Flora fake snapped.
Well, this is the last chapter that the previous author stopped, but I will re-continue it from here as I have been granted the permission to do so. Here is hoping for some support.
