Faragonda's office was pretty quiet. All of them were packed in there as the morning sun shined through the windows. And by all of them, I mean Faragonda, herself, the girls with their children, Saladin and the guys as well. The girls made no eye contact what so ever. They continued to look forward at Faragonda and listened to her demands, while feeling the guys' on them.
The guys were wondering why they were even there in the first place, as well as Saladin. Saladin just told them that he had a plan for them, and that they needed to be included on what Faragonda had to say. Although, being as the girls were paying no attention what so ever to them, this was getting really annoying at this point.
No hello or good morning was even put in. They hadn't seen them in five years and this is how you treat someone? They were doing the exact same thing as Faragonda did to them over the years, except without any speaking. Now and again, they would get little glances from their children, to see what they were up too. They couldn't help but stare at them too. The kids looked exactly like the girls…it was really weird to see little copies of them. All they could do was either get lost in the girls hair, try to listen to the conversations, or get lost in their still attractive bodies, even after childbirth.
"We definitely have a problem," said Faragonda. "The Trix are loose somewhere and they are after your children, girls. Now, we will definitely stop running, considering you are safer here than any other place in the universe, but I will request that you not go back to you home planets…at least for the time being."
"So, we are staying here in Magix? But for how long?" said Bloom.
"Until those witches are captured once again and you girls are safe. All of you must stick together…that is vital. And keep a close eye on you kids. You will stay in Magix so that you and your children are safe...that is the main reason. We don't really know what the witches want with your children, but it can't be good."
"But where will we stay? You already said that we couldn't stay at Alfea," said Musa.
"That is where I come in," said Saladin. The girls did not like where this was going. "Since you childbirth, Faragonda and I did notice that you have become weaker and you may need some protection during your stay…"
"So we are going to have little snot nosed Red Fountain kids make sure that we are protected?" said Stella.
"No…you are going to have them protect you," finished Saladin as his finger pointed directly at the guys.
The words slowly became clear in the girls' head. Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped to a whole new level. The point of coming back was to stay away from them as much as possible and that was completely ruined. They were going to be protected by…them?
"Wait…what!" screamed Stella. The girls' eyes shot down on Faragonda and only her, looking for an answer or if this was some sort of sick joke. It wasn't.
"B-but why?" asked Bloom.
"I already told you why," said Faragonda.
"But…"
"Bloom, you will stay with King Sky, Musa you will stay with Riven, Stella must stay with Brandon, Flora with Helia, Layla with Nabu, and Tecna with Timmy," said Faragonda, with Bloom noticing the King part of Sky's name. The "king" part only meant one thing…he was married.
"Wait, they are going to be living with us? As in…our apartments?" asked Riven. Faragonda and Saladin simply nodded their heads.
"Don't we get any say in this?" asked Brandon.
"Well considering you are still under my order… no," said Saladin.
"What about our classes to teach?" asked Timmy.
"I already found replacements for you, all of you…and I will personally teach Nabu's class. Besides, summer is almost approaching, so you won't have to worry too much about missing class."
"But why must we live with them?" said Musa.
"They are your guardians for this time, which means they will have to watch you at all times…you and your children. In case the witches ever attack, you will at least have some protection that helps you in battle," replied Faragonda.
"But why them? I'd rather have some little Red Fountain punk teenagers protect us," said Stella, which took back the guys to a whole new level.
"Because they are more experienced in fighting and well frankly…know you girls the best when it comes to a battle," said Saladin. They were silent after that part. It was true…they did know them the best.
"But what about Sky? He doesn't even work at Red Fountain. He just comes to visit us sometimes…technically he doesn't really have to do this," said Brandon, looking at Sky and then Saladin.
"Well, that is true. Sky…it is your decision. You may take my orders as if they were you own and take this mission like the others are, or you may go back to Eraklyon and continue there. What is your decision?"
Bloom turned around to get a good look at Sky's expression and wondering what he would say. She stared deep into his eyes and searched for the answer herself, but couldn't seem to find it. He's going to say no…
Sky looked at Bloom for a while and then at Saladin. Saladin didn't mean to put him on the spot, but Sky couldn't help but feel being stared down upon by everyone. He took a deep breath; he knew what his heart wanted to do, but his mind was telling him to go back to Eraklyon and live a life with his soon to be wife.
"We could always have Bloom stay with Nabu, Layla, and Jadon. That would be a good replacement," suggested Saladin, looking at Bloom's sort of disappointed face.
"No, I will take this mission like the others. I also have a place next to the guys and we will all be together," Sky said finally, getting glances and smirks from the other guys. Bloom's eyes widened for a second, but she kept it to herself.
"Well it is settled then. Everyone pack your things and be ready. We will have a bus to come pick all of you up," said Saladin. "Boys, you are dismissed." The guys said nothing and left the room, leaving the girls and the two headmasters. The girls had a worried look on their faces.
"Don't worry girls. I know for a fact that the boys have spare bedrooms," said Faragonda.
"That's not the part we are most worried about Ms. Faragonda," said Flora innocently, knowing that Faragonda knew what she meant. "Are we excused?"
"Yes, you are," Faragonda replied. The girls left the room leaving Saladin alone with her. "Are you sure this is such a good idea Saladin? I really don't want any more trouble between them."
"Yes it is Faragonda. I know for a fact that my boys would never do such a thing, from what you told me. Hopefully, this will fix everything."
MMMMM
Musa was crying to herself in the Alfea library. Trying to avoid Riven, as much as possible, ruined her plans. Now she was going to live under one roof with him?
All she wanted was to reach her goal…to live a life as queen of Melody and be a pop superstar singer with her child as princess. Even if he didn't want her or if he had another woman.
"Hey Musa," said Stella, with a really bummed out tone. All of the girls were there, with tearstains down there cheeks, and trying to put on fake smiles. Their children were with Faragonda and Saladin, to see what kind of powers they had and their skills.
"Are guys ready for this?" Musa asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be," said Layla, but with sadness.
"What do we do now?" asked Flora.
"I don't know, honestly," said Tecna.
"We can get through this. All we have to do is stick together and make sure we bring down the witches fast," said Bloom. "And by fast, I mean fast.
"Well this is just stupid! I would have never returned if I knew we had to do this! I'd rather be considered dead," said Stella angrily.
"You now what we have to do right?" said Musa, as the girls turned toward her. "We can't tell them…we can't tell them who our children's fathers are. We can't tell them that they are their fathers. I don't want R-Riven to know who Alexis really is."
"I think that is a good idea," said Layla.
"But why?" asked Flora.
"I don't want them to get hurt like we did," replied Musa. Flora understood and nodded. All the girls agreed not to tell the guys who the father's were.
"But most of all…don't fall for them," said Bloom
"Don't get lost in his eyes," said Musa.
"Don't get lost in his smile," said Tecna.
"Don't get lost at his body," said Stella
"Don't fall for his kindness," said Flora.
"Don't fall for his charm," said Layla.
"Don't fall for him," finished Bloom.
Everyone agreed at that moment. But the only problem to that plan was…they were still in love with them from the very start, and nothing could ever take that away…
TTTTT
"Did you see the way she looked at me?" said Brandon, commenting on Stella's "look." They were walking around Alfea, waiting for that bus to come get them. Of course, they had to have their man talk, so they sat down at some benches.
"What happened? That's all I have to ask," said Helia.
"I don't know," said Nabu.
"I thought they were never coming back," said Riven, quietly.
"Me too," said Sky.
"I can't believe they actually moved on," said Timmy
"She said she would only love me and no one else," said Brandon.
"She promised me that too," said Riven.
"Real smooth when Saladin said that we were going to protect them guys," said Nabu.
"Ok, so we freaked out a little…who wouldn't?" Timmy
"And then Sky over here…" said Brandon, commenting on the incident in Faragonda's office.
"What was I supposed to say? No, you haven't been here for five years so I am not going to take this mission for you? Come on guys, I am in this with you too."
"It's just all one big mess," said Helia.
"Well then, that will be the plan. We figure out what happened to them, what the mission was, and why they even came back," said Sky.
"With children, no less," said Timmy.
"Deal guys?" said Sky.
"Deal."
The bus took everyone down to Magix, or at least Down Town. They stopped at a very nice looking building. It was tall and actually looked like a very substantial place to stay at. Each girl took their child and followed the guys inside…
FFFFF
Flora walked into his room, while holding onto Lorelei. The rooms were actually very good in size. One master bedroom, one guest bedroom, a living room, a balcony, a kitchen, and two bathrooms. She figured all of the guy's rooms were like this. It honestly looked more like a condo than an apartment.
Helia's room was very spacious and canvases were everywhere, as well as some plants. It was very neat and clean and she noticed that he was headed straight for the guest bedroom.
"Well, this is it," Helia said. He couldn't stop looking at her. He couldn't stop smelling the sweet aroma that came off of her. He couldn't speak right…what was with him?
"Thanks, it's very cozy," Flora, replied, as she put her things down. She was glad that he was nice to her. She wouldn't be able to bear it if he was mean and snobby. Instead of relaxing in her room quietly, she got to the kitchen and started cooking something up. Lorelei was pretty hungry. Helia came into the room as Flora was serving her.
"Um, I made some extra…if you want it," Flora said shyly. Helia nodded and was pretty surprised, but sat down at the table as Flora served him. The table was pretty quiet, except for the chewing. Helia sort of stared at Lorelei. She looked exactly like her mother, except for her eyes. He started to stare at Flora again. She's so beautiful…
"Do you want me to get that for you?" said Flora. He looked up and noticed she was standing up with her hand out. He wanted to grab it and start to dance with her, but she meant to grab his plate. She grabbed his plate anyway, without his consent. He looked at Lorelei again; her face seemed to be amazed with all of the canvases in the room. The little girl didn't seem to talk much; she was quiet, like her mother. He couldn't take it anymore; he got up and went out of the room.
Flora sighed and looked out the window. She just wished that this nightmare would end. She looked at Lorelei, who looked liked she was in heaven, and picked her up in her arms. She made her way to her room and immediately stopped at the doorway. Helia was in there.
He seemed to be fluffing her pillows and making sure the sheets were perfect. Helia's senses perked up and noticed that she was standing in the doorway. He hurriedly walked out of the room and went to his own.
So he cares…or at least a little bit, she thought while trying to control her feelings. Slowly, salty tears streamed down her face and a frown appeared, while trying not to show it to her daughter.
BBBBB
Sky's room was a little bigger, considering his status. He showed her around, with her two children in each hand. She put on a fake smile as he asked her how it was. She made some lunch, just like Flora did, and set her kids down at the table. To Sky's surprise, when he arrived, there was an extra plate, so he sat down and joined them.
"Mom?" asked Aidan
"Yes, what is it?" Bloom replied.
"Um…who is this," he said again, with his finger pointing at Sky.
"Um…he…he was an old friend. When I was younger, we used to go on missions together and stuff like that," said Bloom, as Aidan raised an eyebrow at his mother's strange behavior.
"Hi, my name is Sabrina," she said happily as she ate some more. Sky couldn't believe what Bloom had just said. Friends. Friends? They had dated for over three years and all she could come up with was friends? Sky stayed silent when her little girl introduced herself.
Sabrina looked at her mother, asking silently if she did something wrong to upset the man in front of her. Bloom only looked sad and shook her head.
"Sky," he said, as he blurted out his own name to the little girl. For some reason, he couldn't stand seeing the little girl sad. Sabrina smiled big.
"I'm Sabrina…and this is Aidan," she smiled while elbowing her brother to do something. Aidan really didn't do anything but have a smug expression on his face. Sky could tell that this kid did not trust him one bit. For some reason, Sky felt that the kid reminded him of himself.
The father of her children is one lucky guy…
LLLLL
"So, what do you think?" asked Nabu, as all of them entered the door. He was trying to be charming, like he used to be; the way she first fell in love with him. She left her face emotionless.
"It's nice."
"Why are there spell books everywhere?" asked Jadon.
"Well, I don't know if your mother told you this, but I am a wizard and these are my books I use for casting my spells and all of that stuff," Nabu said with pride. Layla was scared of the response Jadon would give. Please don't say 'I'm a wizard too.'
"Why would my mom talk about you? I have never met you before," said Jadon.
He is just like her…attitude and everything…
"Oh, well, sorry…didn't know. Anyway, this is your room," he said as he opened the door. "Sorry about the mess, I wasn't really expecting company."
"It's fine," Layla replied abruptly.
"Oh, ok. Well, I will leave you two to unpack your things then." Nabu left the room and Layla stared at Jadon for a second. He raised an eyebrow wondering what his mother was looking at him for.
"Jadon…you can't tell that guy you're a wizard."
"But why mom?"
"Because…that guy…" she started. She hated lying to her son, no matter how small or how big. But she was hurt way too many times…and she did not want that for Jadon as well. "That guy will probably steal your powers in order to get more." Boy did that come out fast.
"Really? He can do that? That is actually kind of cool!"
"Hey, not a word to him. He may seem nice now, but he will act different when he knows you have them."
"I noticed it. I noticed you did not want him to know I have powers. I felt it when he brought up the spell books. That's why I didn't say anything."
"You're a smart kid, you know that?"
"I tell that to myself everyday, but never as smart as Cale."
TTTTT
Timmy opened his door and Tecna could not believe her technologic eyes. Computer software, data analysis boxes, machinery, and anything you could ever think of was in Timmy's room. She couldn't help but have her mouth drop in fascination.
"This place is awesome!" said Cale as he ran to explore everything.
"Cale, don't touch anything," Tecna insisted.
"It's alright Tecna, let the kid have some fun. He seems to have your interest in technology, after all," said Timmy. Shivers went down her spine when he said her name.
"You design ships?" Cale ran up to Timmy.
"Uh yeah, for Red Fountain."
"Mom, isn't this so cool?"
Why does it hurt every time he says 'mom'?
"Yes, it is…where will we sleep?" Tecna asked, with a slight blush creeping on her face. Timmy showed her the room; it was nice and comfortable, but with a few blueprints lying around on the floors.
"Thanks, I'll take it from here," Tecna said, while putting down her things. Timmy left, with a sad face, and Tecna sighed to herself. She then felt a stinging sensation on her arm. She looked at it and realized that a cut was there. The cut from the battle must have reopened…She didn't really tell the others that she was injured.
She left Cale, who was studying the blueprints, to the bathroom. She looked through his cabinets, looking for any bandages or anything that would stop the bleeding from coming down her arm. She opened one cabinet and found a box of…tampons? That's right…tampons. Why would Timmy have a box of tampons?
"Probably his girlfriends…" Tecna sighed. After blushing once more at the sight, she kept on searching. As she found some, she got one and clasped it on tight to the stinging wound. She went back to her son and found him sitting on the bed with some blueprints on his lap. He looked confused…a word that was not often used with Cale.
"Mom, who is this guy that we are living with?"
"He…he's an old friend, why do you ask?"
"Well, I was looking at his designs for the ships and well…they seem to resemble to yours," said Cale, now with a suspicious look on his face. Tecna took a look at what her son was talking about. It was true…some of the models she designed, when she was still attending Alfea, looked exactly like these. He totally copied me…he stole my ideas!
"Um…I think I gave him permission to use some Cale. It's nothing big at all," she said. What was the most surprise to her was the fact that Cale remembered what her own designs looked like. She only showed him what they looked like one time…and that was two years ago. But by judging the look of shock on Tecna's face, Cale could tell that this was no coincidence.
SSSSS
Stella walked in the door and immediately found the room herself and put her things down. Brandon just stared at her and couldn't stop. It was like he was in some sort of trance. Sure she had been in Magix for a day now, but now he could fully look at her and study her.
"Why do you keep staring at her?" said Celena. "Are you some sort of pervert?"
Brandon blinked for a second, as Stella sort of looked at him confused. Not realizing what was happening, she stood there, waiting for an answer. Brandon didn't even know that Celena knew what a pervert was. Stella must have taught her well. Stella looked at him and noticed that he was in trouble.
"Celena, stop bothering Brandon. He has offered his home to us, so be a little grateful," Stella explained…but why did it feel so vile?
"Mom, who is he?"
She explained to her daughter who he was and how they were friends for a long time. Brandon was lost in his thoughts to even hear what she had just said.
"So he is a pervert," said Celena, while Stella rolled her eyes.
"Brandon?" Stella asked. Why does it hurt to say his name so much?
"Huh?"
"You seem a bit lost," Stella said. Brandon didn't know what he was feeling. The woman he loved was right in his living room and her could barely speak to her.
"…do you mind?" ended Stella's voice. Brandon finally clicked and saw that she had just asked him a question. Stella's eye twitched when he didn't respond. Why isn't he paying attention? This was just getting annoying. She hated repeating herself over and over again, but she had to for him to listen to the question. She was about to ask the question again, but someone beat her.
"She just asked you if she can use your kitchen," said Celena. Brandon nodded and he showed her the stuff. A few minutes later, she made a cooked meal and served all of them…all of them.
Since when was her cooking this good?
Stella cleaned up quickly and went back to her room, where Celena played with her dolls. She went back to the kitchen and noticed Brandon was out on his balcony, looking up at the sky and the clouds. Her face darkened after she saw his dreamful face.
'Thinking of your new girlfriend, Brandon?' she thought to her self. She sighed to herself. 'You became so handsome.'
Stella disappeared into the next room, hoping he didn't notice her sad face, as he watched the sky.
Unfortunately, while staring at the sky, his peripheral vision caught sight of her. He had seen her…he had seen her sad face. He suddenly wanted to hold her…wanted her to be happy again.
His hands slightly touched the wooden door of the balcony, as he heard her softly cry. He turned around and made his way back to the balcony again, thinking of the person he was. He was thinking about, over and over again, the one person who just decided to pop out of nowhere in his life again.
MMMMM
Musa followed Riven to his door and he opened it with his key. She figured Riven's room would be messy. It was Riven for crying out loud. But this was just pathetic.
"I guess Saladin is paying you guys well, huh?" said Musa, putting a fake smile while trying to make small talk. He looked at her and nodded his head.
"It's pretty messy," noted Alexis, while looking at the dirty clothes on the floor and some dishes in the sink. Riven narrowed his eyes and glared at the girl, while she smirked away. She's just like her…
"Well the uh, guest bedroom is just around the corner. You can put your stuff there," said Riven.
"Thanks," she said. Riven's heart was beating fast. All he wanted to do was take her hand, bring her to the couch and ask her loads of questions. He wanted to hold her, touch her, kiss her, like he used to, but he knew for some reason that he couldn't. But he certainly didn't want to stop talking to her…even if he said stupid stuff.
"Um, there is only one bed in the guest bedroom. If you want, you can have Alexis sleep in that one and you can sleep in my room," he said. She turned around to look at him and he noticed her eyes got really wide. Noticing what he had just said, he quickly corrected himself. "Uh, I mean you can sleep in my bed, while I can sleep on the couch."
"Um no, that's ok. The bed is pretty big…Alexis and I can just share," she replied as she eased. "But thanks anyway." She left into the room and laid out her stuff. "Alexis, why don't you wait in the kitchen and I'll make you something to eat."
"Ok mom."
His smell was everywhere…she couldn't take it. She thought about the other girls and how they were working out. She hoped none of them cracked and immediately started to kiss them. Would she be able to do this? She had to…for herself and her daughter. She could already feel the tears streaming down her face.
Riven saw the little girl sit right at the table, right across from him. He raised an eyebrow at the sight of her. She smiled politely, waiting for her mother to finish crying. She was smart…she knew what her mother was really doing.
"How did you know my name before I even told it to you?" Alexis asked.
"Oh…I uh… heard Faragonda say it."
"You are very observant…kind of like me," she replied. Riven sat there looking at her, as he heard the quiet sobs coming from the guest bedroom.
"Why is she crying?" Riven asked.
"Well I really don't know why, but she cries herself to sleep every night, that I do know. Aunty Layla, Tecna, Stella, Bloom, and Flora do it too. Aidan, Cale, Jadon, and I are the only ones who have noticed it, but we never told our mother's that we knew. They just cry a lot. I don't even think I cry as much as they do."
Riven stared at the girl…it was like he knew her from somewhere.
"I have never told anyone, so please don't say a word…I feel like I can trust you for some reason," said Alexis. "I think it's because of my father."
Riven choked, "Why do you think that?"
"Well…none of us really know who our dads are"- Alexis immediately stopped when her sonar ears picked up the door opening from behind. Alexis gave him a look that said, 'I'll tell you more later' and turned to her mother. Musa stood in the middle of the room, her eyes showing that she had just cried, but she played it as she was cheerful.
"Ok Alexis, what do you want to eat?"
"I am not really that hungry mom. How about we just get something to drink and watch a movie in our room?" Alexis replied. Musa smiled with care.
"That sounds like a good idea," said Musa, as she got them both a glass of water and went to the room and shut the door behind them. Riven was left in his thoughts.
