Bloom's Lesson

Chapter 11!

Sky and Bloom, hand in hand made their way down a huge hall, Bloom not exactly knowing where he was leading her, today she wore a summer dress that went to just above her knees, tucked in at the waist and frilled from the waist down, and she also wore them with sensible flat shoes and her hair let down.

Sky was reading blue jeans and a black t-shirt with a pair of running shoes, Bloom thought it wasn't very formal of the king to be wearing them, but they did make him look very handsome.

He suddenly stopped them in mid stride outside a huge door, 'Are you sure about this?' he asked 'I don't want to push you on this, if you're not ready, we can wait a while.'

'If we don't do this now then where might she end up Sky.' Bloom answered and he smiled at her and kissed her, just a quick one, then opened the door and walked in, Bloom walked in after him to see Samara and Erendor standing at the other side of the room – which bloom recognised as the throne room – and they were standing with Ms Ferigonda, and Bloom parents and Daphne! (A/N in this story Daphne has regained her human body, it's just easier to fit into the story)

'Mom, dad, Daphne?' Bloom said in surprise as King Oratel, Queen Miriam and Princess Daphne all turned towards Bloom.

Bloom ran over to her mother and gave her a huge hug. 'Bloom, I missed you so much!' She said happily as she clutched Bloom closer to her.

'I missed you to mom!' Bloom said and then turned to her dad and gave him a hug 'I'm still upset with you.' Bloom whispered to him and he chuckled and pulled her back.

'Say what you want, but I know at the end of the day you still love me.' He said all smug and Bloom playfully hit his right arm.

Bloom barely got to turn towards her sister before she practically jumped on her and smothered in a hug 'I don't think you realise how annoying dad can be when you're not there.' She said and Bloom laughed.

'What are you guys doing here?' Bloom asked them.

'Well we were going to wait till tomorrow to come for the ball tomorrow night but Samara and Erendor said it would be nice if we came earlier, so we gladly accepted the invite to get a little break.' Miriam told her daughter

'Sky what are you doing here?' Erendor demanded 'I thought we finalised it last night that you don't want any part in this anymore.' He said.

'I know I said that, but we have come up with an idea,' Sky said to his father. And then looked at Bloom signalling her to speak.

'Well it was my idea, after I head about if the authorities found out about Christina and the person in the castle sending threats to tell her, well I suggest firstly that we tell her.' She said letting them consider that.

'But what happens after we tell her?' Ms Ferigonda asked 'She could reject everyone for keeping this from her for years and not want anything to do with any of you. Or she could accuse you of lying to her.'

'But she has to know,' Bloom persisted 'It will be better if she found out from someone she loves then some stranger in years to come, that will hurt more, trust me I was sixteen when I found out Mike and Vanessa weren't my real parents, I know what it feels like, when they told me that, I was hurt that they didn't tell me sooner, so you have to tell her now.'

Erendor stood there looking at her and Samara looked on the edge of tears. 'Erendor, I know where you are with this.' Oratel said stepping closer to Erendor 'I understand the one thing you want not is for her to know what you are her father, and no you are thinking of the consequences and the trauma she will have to go through, but after that, there Is a good chance she will understand why you didn't tell her and she will come to love you.'

Erendor sighed 'I guess it is about time we told her.'

'But how are you going to tell her.' Daphne asked as she took hold of Blooms hand.

'And more importantly, how is going to tell her?' Erendor asked.

'I will tell her.' Samara said stepping forward. 'She is my child, I should be the one.'

'No.' Erendor said, and Samara turned around and looked at him in surprise. 'You can't be the one to tell her sweet heart, it has to be someone that she is close to, during the girls while stay here, you have been keeping your distance from her Samara, she need to be told by someone she knows and trusts,'

Samara thought about it for a minute or two and then sighed 'I guess you're right, but then who?'

Erendor turned to his son 'Sky, it has to be you, she trust you more than anyone, as far as I know anyway.'

Sky looked for a minute like he was going to say no, but then he looked at Bloom and then back to his father 'OK, I'll do it, but we have to tell you the second part of our plan.' He said and waited for the nod from his father.

Bloom walked over to sky and took his hand 'in the case where Christina is at risk from being taken by the authorities to be put into an orphanage, we are prepared to take her, we have acknowledged dad that you and Mom are unable to take care of her, and since she is so close to myself and Bloom, we will take responsibility.' Sky said, and both his parents and Blooms froze.

'That is such a good idea!' Daphne cheered.

'But you're so young.' Miriam said to both of them.

'We know that, but she needs someone there for her, and we are both willing to do that.' Bloom said to her mother.

'Don't you think that is kind of odd, that you are planning on adopting this girl and yet you two aren't married, not even engaged?' Erendor said.

From the corner of her eye, Bloom could see that her father had a confused expression on his face, he, Mom, Daphne and Ms Ferigonda knew that Sky and her were engaged, but I think he was more confused that Erendor didn't know.

'Well, Mom, dad about that, I was going to tell you and the rest of the kingdom tomorrow at the ball, but considering the circumstances, you should know that myself and Bloom are engaged, I asked her to marry me a few months ago now, I wanted to tell you, but I never really got the chance.' Sky said.

As soon as he said that 'FINALLY!' Samara practically screamed and ran towards both of them 'I can't believe you took so long to tell us, but that's beside the point, I am so happy for both of you.'

'Thank you.' Bloom said happily.

'I can't believe you didn't tell them before this.' Miriam said to Bloom.

'So, do you think it will be a good idea, if we take in Christina as our own to keep her here?' Sky asked.

Erendor looked at Bloom 'Bloom, dear, I am very happy that you have even considered taking on such a task for us, but if you are so willing to do it, I have to ask, are you ready to be a mother figure to someone, you are so young?'

Bloom didn't even have to consider what he said 'I have decided what I want to do, and I don't want to see that little girl in an orphanage, and yes I am more than happy be a mother to Christina.'

'Oh well in that case-' Erendor was cut of by the door suddenly opening, they all looked around, it was Kiko and Lockette, and they looked scared.

'Bloom, oh Bloom, we have been looking everywhere for you, something really, really bad has happened.' Lockette said landing on Blooms open hand, while kiko jumped onto her shoulder.

'What happened?' Bloom said.

'It's Christina, she left the palace, we asked her where she was going but all she said was anywhere but here, I hate liars, and I want my mommy! They can't tell me that my mother was an imposter!' Lockette was out of breath and everyone in the room had froze.

'She must have found out.' Miriam said.

'The person inside the castle that was threatening to tell her the truth, I didn't know he or she would work so fast!' Erendor said

'Where was she heading Lockette?' Bloom asked her pixie, who was out of breath from flying around the castle trying to find her.

'She was heading to the stables,' she said and bloom gave her to Miriam and started running for the door, Sky and Daphne were following close behind.

'Dose she know how to ride horses?' Daphne asked sky.

'Yes, Lillian taught her when she was younger, she even has her own horse in the stables.' He said back to her.

'Well, Bloom I guess in that case the only way to catch her is to power up,' Daphne said and Bloom agreed

*Bloom believix *

*Daphne Enchantix* (A/N I decided to put Daphne a level down from Bloom on her magic)

Bloom and Daphne flew as fast as they could, when they got outside, they didn't exactly know where the stables where, but that wasn't going to stop them, as Bloom was there once and flew in the direction she thought it was in.

It turned out her hunch was right, because it brought her to the stables, and just as they got there, a horse bolted from the stable door, a black horse with a few white patched on its body, and the rider was definitely Christina, Bloom flew ahead and caught up with the horse.

'Christina!' Bloom called and she was sure Christina heard her but she whipped the horse to go faster.

'Go away!' she shouted, but Bloom wasn't going to let that happen, so she flew over Christina grabbed the horse rains and pulled the horse until it came to a complete stop.

Christina jumped of the horse and started running away from Bloom.

Bloom powered down from her Believeix and started to run after her 'Christina, wait, please, listen to me!' Bloom called after her.

Christina was out of sight now, but Bloom kept running.

It took her a few minutes, but Bloom found Christina curled up at the bark of a tree crying hard.

Bloom walked up and sat down beside her. 'I want my mom.' She cried and Bloom put her arms around her and Christina let her.

'I think it is about time that you heard the story from me, and not from the person who told you, can I tell you?' Bloom asked and Christina nodded her head and Bloom began.
