Nature's Past
Part 4: Royal Ball
Summer Castle Reception Hall
Night 1: Introductions
The Reception Hall was decorated with red and black with silver candle holders floating the room. A grand staircase lead down to the floor, and the hall was a long rectangle with columns all around the room. There was a semicircle balcony overlooking the valley and lake below and a staircase that lead to the palace garden below. In the center of the room was a fountain with a raise platform in the center with a statue of two intertwined dragons.
"This is beautiful," Bloom said, as she and Skye walked around the room.
"Not as beautiful as a princess I know," Skye said, smiling at Bloom.
"And there's the sappy moment we all saw coming," Riven said, coming up behind with Musa on his arm. The other Specialists and Winxs, minus Flora and plus Krystal(on Helia's arm), were behind Riven.
"Hey, girls," Bloom said, "you all look beautiful."
Bloom was in a navy blue gown, with a pale blue gloves. Her hair was twisted up with a few curls framing her face. She had on silver earrings and the necklace Skye had given her.
Stella was wearing a yellow princess dress with gold draping. Her hair was down and curly. She had on a gold tiara and a sun and moon chocker.
Musa had on a red empire dress with a matching wrap. Her hair was in a high ponytail.
Tecna was in a purple mermaid dress. Her hair was curled, and she had silver bangles on both arms.
Aisha was in a sea-green sheath dress. Her hair was curled in a ponytail hanging over one should. She had a small green tiara on her head.
Krystal in a pink A-line dress, with a white belt and matching gloves. Her hair was ironed straight, and she had on a white tiara.
"Thank you," Stella said, as they all moved to form a little circle.
"Have you seen Flora," Helia asked.
"Not since this afternoon," Bloom replied.
"I bet I know where she is," Riven said, looked over Helia's shoulder.
"Where," Musa asked, sending him a confused look.
"There," Riven said, pointing to the entrance. There at the top of the stairs was Flora and her friends.
Dylan and Iris were coming down the stairs first. With Iris in a red gown and black flower at her hip; and Dylan in a black tux and red tie. Zachary and Jasmine came next. Jasmine in a black gown and red flower on her shoulder; and Zach in a black tux with a red bow tie. River and Camille followed behind them. Camille in a red gown with black flowers rimming the bottom; and River's dress was the reverse. And last was Ash and Flora. Ash in a red tux with a black tie and fedora, and Flora in a red strapless gown with black flowers along the back.
"Wow, that was an entrance," Stella said, once Flora had left Ash and them and came to the Winxs and Specialist.
"Thanks," Flora said, smiling at them all.
"You look incredible," Helia said, leaving Krystal and going to Flora. He took her hand, and placed a kiss on her knuckles.
'He is way too charming for his own good.' Flora thought, blushing a little.
"I'll tell River you think so," Flora said, "She all but forced me into this dress."
'What!...I'm the one that dresses people. I'm the only one that dresses the Winxs...It's my thing. I dress the Winxs girls,' Stella thought angrily, but said smiling, "She has amazing taste."
"I thought you and her would get along great...We need to get you two together," Flora said.
'NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN...' "Maybe later on," Stella said with a smile, and gave little squeeze on Brandon's arm.
After that, they broke into happier topics for everyone. They all talked for almost thirty minutes before.
"Flora, it's time," Ash said, coming up behind her.
"Already," Flora said.
"Yes," Ash said.
"Well," Flora signed, and turned to Helia, "I hope you enjoy the entertainment." She kissed him on the cheek, before taking Ash's arm.
Dylan and Iris, Zachary and Jasmine, and Ash and Flora moved to the center on the room. Each couple taking a place around the fountain. And as the music started, a red mist surrounded the couples, and the girls' ball gowns are shimmered before being replaced with black trumpet dresses with red swirls. Iris was in a one-sleeved full-length dress, and she had a red flower in her hair. Jasmine was one-strapped, knee-length dress, and she had a small crown of red flowers in her hair. Finally, Flora was in a strapless, full-length dress with a thigh-high slit; and she had a black rose in her hair.
As the music picked up, the couples went into a tango around the fountain.
ROXANNE You don't have to put on that red light
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong of if it is right
ROXANNE You don't have to wear that dress tonight
ROXANNE You don't have to sell your body to the night
His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
IT'S MORE THAN I CAN STAND
Why does my heart cry?
Feelings I cant fight
Your free to leave me but
Just don't deceive me
And please believe me when I say
I LOVE YOU
The girls with spun out to other partners and lifted up.
Yo que te quiero tanto, que voy a hacer? (And I who love you so muchwhat am I going to do?)
Me dejaste me dejaste como una paloma (You left me you left me like a dove)
El alma se me fuese me fue el corazon (My soul has left me my heart has left me)
Ya no tengo ganas de vivir porque no te puedo convencer (I no longer wish to live because I cannot convince you)
Que no te vendas, Roxanne (Not to sell yourself, Roxanne.)
The girls were spun faster and faster until they were pushed aside into the arms of their original partners, and going back into a tango.
Why does my heart cry?
ROXANNE! You don't have to put on that red light
Feelings I can't hide
ROXANNE! You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Why does my heart cry?
ROXANNE! You don't have to put on that red light
Feelings I can't fight
ROXANNE! You don't have to wear that dress tonight
ROXANNE
ROXANNE
As the music ended, the room was filled with clapping. Each coupled bowed to each other and the crowd, before the boys lead the girls out of the spotlight.

"Her royal highness, the keeper of Winter, Queen Doria of the North," a paige called out to the ballroom.
"It brings me great joy that we can all gather here. After the defeat of Tritannus, I hope this will be a sign of peace to continue on from today," Queen Doria said, smiling out into the crowd, "And now, it is time for the pasting of the season."
Flora walked up to the royal family of Summer, and knelt down.
"I, King Henry of the South land, protector of Summer, do release my hold," The Summer King said, holding out a gold pendent with a oak tree by a lake. The pendent glowed a bright orange before becoming a ball of glowing energy.
"I am a vessel to Mother Earth, through me may her deeds shine bright," Flora said, as the ball floated toward her and faded into her. Flora glowed orange for a moment, before going back to normal.
"It is done," Queen Doria said.
Flora walked back into the crowd, next to Ash. He put his arm around her, and Flora leaned heavily on him.
"You okay," Ash asked her in a whisper, as Queen Doria went on to explain that the next night would be a night to honor the Fall royal family.
"Tired," Flora said, "Can you help me to the garden?"
"No problem," Ash said, just as Helia got to them.
"Flora, what's wrong," Helia asked, taking her from Ash.
"Having the very essence of nature put in you is very exhausting," Flora mumbled.
"I was taking her out to the garden," Ash said.
"I got her," Helia said, leading Flora outside. Flora and Helia went down to the garden, and sat on one of the bench in the rose garden.
"So, are you bored with me yet," Flora said, leaning back on the bench.
"Why would you say that," Helia asked.
"Helia, you've been avoiding...ignoring...whatever you want to call it, me for weeks. You asked Krystal to be your date to that concert before me. You've been canceling our dates for her," Flora said, "What else an I suppose to think."
'I forgot her...that's why she's not tried to make plans. She thinks I'll cancel them,' Helia thought, and said, "I'm an idiot."
"No...like you said we're just friends, and she's Krystal...Princess Krystal," Flora said.
"Flora," Helia said, said up and knelling in front of her and taking her hands, "we are not just friends. You are the most important person in my life. You're my beautiful flower...And I did what you're not suppose to do to flowers. I ignored you, and I'm so sorry for that."
"You mean it," Flora asked, tilting her head to the side.
"With all my heart," Helia said, kissing her hands.
"I've missed you," Flora said, and then Helia was leaning down and kissing her.

Unknown to the couple, they were being watched. The Winxs and Specialist were looking down on them from the balcony, smiling at the couple. Krystal was walking the couple from behind a pillar in the ballroom. She was glaring down at the two.
'That should be me,' Krystal thought, glaring at Flora.
And there was another group watching, from a cauldron. They saw everything, and a dark smile twisted on ones face.
"Sisters, I have an idea."
