That night was the next round of the singing competition for Alfea. The boys came again to support the girls, and it also was a celebratory celebration to Helia for passing with flying colours, (punt intended). The boys took their seats as the show started. This round's acts were impressive but they weren't great. The boys were too excited to see the girls.
Backstage Flora was getting nervous. She had never heard a techno song, let alone perform one.
"Girls, I don't think that I can do this" Flora said scared.
"What do you mean? You have to" Bloom said.
"I can't, Musa, you do my part, you sing with Bloom" Flora offered.
"No way, then who will play drums" Musa said.
"But...I have never done this before, Musa, you should be doing this, I can't sing as good as you, you are the music fairy, the princess of music, I'll play the drums."
"You have never played the drums, we could lose, no offence" Stella said.
"Flora, everyone is ready, you we change now, we won't be prepared" Layla said stretching with the girls.
"Flora, just remember the inspiration that you got to write this song" Tecna suggested.
That got Flora less stressed and nervous.
"Up next is our very own 'The Winx'" Professor Palladium announced as the curtains pulled up.
The guys were excited to see the girls once again.
The girls all smiled out to the crowd. Flora and Bloom walked up to the front ready to sing the duet. Flora took a deep breath when the girls started the music.
What hurts the most by Cascada
Bloom: I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
Flora: I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Bloom: Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
Flora: There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
Both: But that's not what gets me
Bloom: What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
Stella: (much to say)
And watching you walk away
Stella: (walk away)
Flora: And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
Helia saw Flora sing, and she looked so radiant. He knew that Flora was hurting from when he gave her the rose at her last performance, he knew that she didn't want him to walk away..
Bloom: It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' it
Flora: It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder, getting up, getting dressed, living with this regret
Bloom: But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart
Both: That I left unspoken
As the chorus began again, the lights started changing colours and Layla leading the dancers onto the stage got the crowd more pumped up. Layla and the dancers were in front of Musa and the drum set, but behind Bloom and Flora.
Flora: What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
Musa: (much to say)
And watching you walk away
Musa: (walk away)
Bloom: And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
Flora: Yeah
Bloom: I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
Flora: There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
Both: But that's not what gets me
Flora: What hurts the most
Was being so close
Bloom: And having so much to say
Tecna: (much to say)
And watching you walk away
Tecna: (walk away)
Flora: And never knowing
What could have been
Bloom: And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
Bloom: What hurts the most
Was being so close
Flora: And having so much to say
Stella: (much to say)
And watching you walk away
Musa: (Walk away)
Bloom: And never knowing
What could have been
Flora: And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
The lights stopped flashing as the Layla and the dancers finished in a pose. The girls got a huge standing ovation, even from the judges. The girls had huge smiles on their faces. Flora looked out into the crowd and saw Helia, being one of the people giving her a standing ovation. Part of her wanted to go out and hug, but the other half was still hurting.
"Why is he even here?" Flora thought to herself. "He broke up with me, and yet, he is still here supporting me and giving me flowers."
