As Flora locked the door she spun around to look at the male before her. It was a male with short light navy blue colour hair with side burns, light skin and light hazel coloured eyes. He had on a white shirt with light green pants and black shoes.

Flora folded her arms before saying. "So did she see us, Nex?"

"Yes, she did." Nex nodded as he sat on the bed. "Princess Krystal was walking through the hallway when I called you."

"Nex, are you sure this is going to work?" Flora questioned. "I agreed to pretend to be your girlfriend to try and make the Princess jealous but now I am having second thoughts."

Nex sighed. "I am not sure if it's going to work but it's worth a shot right?"

Flora positioned herself and sat next to the male on the bed. "I will continue to help you because you are my friend and you helped me out when I was so depressed about Helia."

"By the way, have you heard anything about Helia?" Nex wondered.

Flora shook her head. "Not a word. It's like he disappeared off the face of the planet. I tried magic location spell and I went to his home planet to talk to his parents and nothing. None of the guys have heard from him either since he left. Only Saladin has heard anything from him and he is not coughing up anything."

"If he comes back, will you give him another chance?" Nex asked.

"I don't know. It hurt so much when he left without saying a word. I mean if Helia had just whispered to me that he was going on a mission before he left I would have understood." Flora said before biting her lower lip for a moment. "I still love him but I am not sure if I can get back with someone that doesn't trust me enough to tell me the truth. Okay enough about the what ifs, let's focus on the now. You are in love with Krystal. You and I have been pretending to be a couple for almost two months now and she has not made a move or shown any sign of jealously to our faces. How about we try and find out through a friend how she feels?"

"Which friend of hers do you trust enough to ask without he or she informing her about my true feelings?" Nex wondered. "I don't want there to be any weird and uncomfortable feelings around us especially since I am training to be her body guard."

"I can ask Roxy. Those two are close and share a dorm room. Maybe Krystal has confided in her about who she likes from who she doesn't like." Flora suggested. "Don't worried I will figure out a way not to mention your name and your true feelings for her. Okay?"

"Okay. Thanks Flora." Nex was grateful for her help. He got up and added. "I better get going. I am starting classes at Red Fountain tomorrow and even though I will only be at the school temporarily I want to make a good impression."

"Yes, Red Fountain is helping you with offensive and defensive training." Flora recalled him telling her that last week.

"Linephia College has taught me a lot and Red Fountain will teach me a lot. The semester there will help me become a better fighter and protector." Nex seemed existed about his short period at Red Fountain.

"Great. You better get going. I have three classes tomorrow to teach and I want to go over my lesson plan once more before going to sleep." Flora told him.

"Alright. See you later Flora." Nex waved good bye to her before leaving the room.

Flora thought back to how this got started.

Flashback

Flora reached outside of Red Fountain after Saladin told her to try and move on with her life and give up on Helia.

She didn't want to give up without a fight. She loved Helia more than she has ever loved anyone and that will never change.

She whispered. "Why would he lie to me and tell me he was with his family instead of on a mission? It's not like I would have told anyone about it and I can defend myself if someone comes after me."

As Flora transformed into her Butterflix mode she flew off to Alfea. Tears began to form as she thought about Helia. 'I haven't heard from him in months. Was I wrong to think that he really loved and trusted me?'

She began to cry. She softly said. "How could he? I mean we have dated for three years. I thought we were going to get married, have children together and spend the rest of our lives together. Now he just up and left me without saying a word to me."

Sadness and frustration took over as she slowly began to flew towards Alfea. Flora felt herself becoming weaker as she taught about her heartbreak.

How could one person have such a great effect on her?

Before Flora knew it she transformed into her civilian form and began falling down. The grief, sadness and heartache caused her to revert to her usual form.

Instead of trying to transform back into her fairy form, Flora placed her hand over to the left side of her chest. She felt an uncomfortable pain that was unlike anything she had ever experience before in her life.

The brunette closed her eyes expecting to hit the ground.

Instead someone on an leva bike caught her before she hit the ground.

Flora looked the person removed his helmet. She looked to see Nex in his Paladin uniform. She met him on her the rest of the Winx Club last trip to Linephia.

"Thanks for saving me." Flora dried her eyes. It didn't help. Tears continued to fall.

As Flora placed her feet onto ground, Nex asked. "What's wrong? I saw when you transformed and began falling."

"You might think it's silly." Flora stated, wiping her eyes of any tears that began to form.

"Try me. I mean it must have been serious for you to revert back to your civilian form without warning." Nex said.

Flora sighed. "Helia told me he went on a trip to visit his parents for a few days before coming back and now it's been a month since I last saw or heard from him. His parents said he never came by to visit them and I am so worried about him. Saladin then told me not too long ago that I am better off giving up on Helia and move on with my life."

"Well crying won't help. If you and Helia are meant to be together then it will happen." Nex said. "If the love is true then nothing can get in the way of that."

"Right now I am an emotional wreck so crying is helping to release the some of the pain and frustration I feel inside." Flora said. "I can't transform into my fairy form in my current emotionally state. I better start walking to Alfea."

"Hop on I will give you a lift." Nex offered. "I was on my way to Red Fountain to sleep over before going back to Linephia but I don't want to leave you without knowing that you are safe."

Flora hopped onto the bike before Nex drove towards Alfea.

After that day Flora and Nex became friends. They also became close. Nex helped her through her grief and broken heart.

When Flora saw that Nex needed her help with something she quickly offered to help as a way to repay him for helping her.

One day while at Alfea…

Flora was in her pink mini skirt with a white blouse and pink flats. Nex was in his Paladin uniform.

"Thanks to you the mission was successful." Flora told Nex.

No answer. She looked at the male to see that he was looking at someone else.

She turned to where he was looking at to see Princess Krystal talking to Princess Galatea.

"You like the Princess of Linephia?" Flora asked.

Nex quickly turned to face her. "Flora, not so loud."

"Tell her how you feel. The worst she can say is no and take it from me it's better to know from now rather than have even a glimmer of hope that she returns your feelings." Flora told him. "I regretted not telling Helia how I felt about him earlier than I did."

"Well you said his name without breaking down into tears so it's a sign that you are getting over him." Nex pointed out.

"I will always love him but I do realize I can't spend the rest of my life crying over someone that purposely left me." Flora said. "I might be spending the rest of my life alone but it doesn't mean you have to. What can I do to help you be with Krystal?"

"Can you pretend to be my girlfriend?" Nex suggested. "I want to see if that can get the Princess jealous. I don't want to confess only for her to reject me. It's going to be so weird if she does end up rejecting me since I am going to her body guard soon."

"I think you should just tell her but let's do it your way for now. I will pretend to be your girlfriend." Flora agreed.

"Flora, can you promise to not tell anyone else?" Nex requested.

"Sure." Flora agreed.

End Flashback

Flora looked down to see that Nex's phone had fell from his pocket and landed on the floor. Picking it up, she prepared to open the door and ran after him.

A knock was soon heard coming from the door. She opened it thinking it was Nex, only to see the last person she expected.

Standing in front of her was Helia. He had long blue hair, light skin and blue coloured eyes.

He wore a white shirt with blue jeans and black shoes.

Shocked to see him, Flora used some magic and covered it over the male to see if he was the real Helia.

Seeing that he didn't have any effect on him Flora knew this was the real Helia.

"Flora…" Helia held out his hands while trying to find the right words to tell her what happened.

Flora slammed the door in his face, not wanting to see the male that greatly broke her heart.

Helia knocked on the door again, not wanting to leave without at least talking to her.

She opened the door once more. "What do you want Helia? Here to finish the job and break my heart even more till it can't be fixed?"

"Flower, please let me explain." Helia pleated.

"I am listening." Flora folded her arms.

Earlier

Helia was standing inside of Headmaster Saladin's office wearing a blue and white shirt with black jeans and black and white shoes. He had two bags filled with several clothes and shoes.

"Grandpa, I am so glad to be back. This mission has been the most changeling one so far because this is the longest I have ever been away from Flora." Helia said. "I am going to change and hurry over to Alfea to see her. I can't wait to hold her in my arms and make up for all the months I missed."

"Um…" Saladin wanted to tell Helia something important. 'How am I supposed to tell Helia that…'

"Bye Grandpa. I want to see Flora before she goes to sleep." Helia said as he hurried out of the office.

He ran towards his dorm room to bath and change. He missed the love of his life so much and wanted to hold her in his arms forever.

Reaching Alfea, Helia stood in front of Flora's dorm room door. He knocked on the door, hoping she was still awake and actually there.

Like four or five seconds later the door opened to reveal Flora. Helia's heart raced seeing her.

Helia watched as Flora used some magic to see if he was the real Helia. When the magic proved he was the real deal, Helia opened his mouth.

"Flora…" Helia held out his hands.

Flora slammed the door in his face.

Helia knocked on the door again, not wanting to leave without at least talking to her.

She opened the door once more. "What do you want Helia? Here to finish the job and break my heart even more till it can't be fixed?"

"Flower, please let me explain." Helia pleated.

"I am listening." Flora folded her arms.

"I didn't expect the mission to last as long as it did." Helia told her. "I had no idea that ending an illegal rare animal trading scheme would take several months. I missed you so much."

"Helia, I am pissed that you lied to me and said that you were going to see your parents. What was so hard in writing a note or whispering into my ear that you were going on a mission instead of lying to me and left for months without no contact? It broke my heart not having you hear with me."

"Flora…?" Helia was confused about something she said.

"Helia, I have moved on with my life. I feel like if I let you in I am going to suffer even more heartache." Flora told him.

"What?" Helia was shocked to hear that Flora had moved on.

Soon Nex came into the room. He said to Flora. "I seem to have dropped my phone."

"Here it is." Flora handed Nex his phone.

Nex noticed Helia and was surprised to see him. "So I can safely assume that you were on a mission."

"Yes." Helia felt disappointed and hurt about what Flora said.

"I better get back." Nex said. "See you tomorrow Flora."

"Bye Nex." Flora said before the male left. Looking at Helia, all Flora wanted to do was jump into his arms and kiss him as well as make up for lost times. "Bye Helia."

"Flora, give me a chance to figure this out." Helia said.

"Good night Helia." Flora told him before closing the door.

Helia whispered. "I did write a letter telling Flora about the mission since saying anything verbal about it could have jeopardized it."

'Grandpa!' Helia thought.
