Disclaimer: "Bloom, you're awesome! That was the most amazing thing I've ever seen! You gotta give me five!" - Sky
For all those people out there who thought Sky should've left the line off with "seen" and left that last sentence out. XD Right now all of you should be raising your hands because it is undoubtedly the cheesiest line in the show to date. I don't know what 4kids was thinking because Rai did not have that line.
So here's your update, on time, yet again! I don't know if this will happen next week because I will be on vacation. If I can't get online to post it (I think we're bringing the laptop, and we should be able to get internet) then expect two chapters the Tuesday coming up after next. ;]
Well, I don't have much to say except that I forgot to warn you all not to go and see The Last Airbender. It sucked. There was barely any humor in it, and more than half the people looked completely messed up. Zuko's scar looked like bad acne, and... ugh! I don't even want to discuss this. I'll get into a rant. Long story short: DON'T GO SEE THAT MOVIE! Especially if you liked the show. It ruins everything. -_-
Oh, and heads up: Riven's profanity appears when they're waiting on Stella to hide. So... yeah. It's not horrible; it's only two words, but one of them is just... I'm sorry, but I couldn't see Riven saying that without the first word. He's an angry teen.
Anyway, without further ado, let the story continue~ :3
Chapter viii: Is This a Joke?
"All right, listen up!" Ms. Cooper snapped at her large group of students, trying to yell over all the noise.
Since it obviously wasn't working, Stella watched her red-haired friend snatch a whistle from some nearby kid and blow it for a few seconds. She had silence, as well as almost every student's undivided attention, as she spoke loudly. "Everyone, Ms. Cooper has an announcement to make, so listen," Bloom snapped, glaring at a couple of boys who were still fooling around.
Needless to say, they stopped immediately.
Stella smiled to herself as she watched her friend turn to look at Ms. Cooper expectantly. That, in turn, had all the others students looking at the drama teacher.
"Thank you, Bloom," Ms. Cooper sighed with a smile. "Now, we are getting the opportunity to go on a trip over Spring Break. It is not mandatory for you to go, but you wouldn't get another opportunity to go as cheaply as this." Ms. Cooper paused, making sure everyone was listening. "We, as in all the cast, are going to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida!" Ms. Cooper announced, beaming at all the kids.
"Seriously?" a random cast member gasped, her eyes wide. (1)
"Of course! Why would I joke about something like this?" Ms. Cooper queried, shaking her head incredulously. "You will have a little over two months to get your money in, and then we will worry about assigning rooms. The down payment is due in a week, and I will give you all the information at rehearsal tomorrow. Just be sure to let your parents know when and where to make sure it doesn't interfere with their plans. You are dismissed."
All the cast were talking animatedly as they filed out of the auditorium. The usual group of eleven (2) (plus a few extras) met up in the center of the stage to discuss the plans for the upcoming Friday night.
"So, how long did you know about this trip, Bloom?" Musa sighed after the whole group had gathered.
Bloom shrugged. "I can't remember when she told me her plans, but she told me this morning all systems were a go," the redhead answered easily. And then she changed the subject so she could get something off her chest. "And before you continue questioning me, I need to tell you four girls that Nicolas and I went on a date Saturday night. I've tried to tell you all day, but I never got the chance."
"You little sneaks! You told us you didn't have any plans together Friday night and conveniently didn't mention Saturday. I even called you to see if you wanted to go out, and you told me nothing," Stella snapped, exasperated with her friend.
Bloom smiled sheepishly. "Yeah, um, sorry 'bout that," she answered nervously.
"Whoa. So you were flirting with her, Nick?" Brandon inquired. "I thought you were just being friendly."
Nicolas snorted. "I know the difference between the two. You guys just assumed I didn't."
"Well, that just beats all, doesn't it?" Brandon grumbled.
"Are you going out again?" Tecna asked.
Bloom blinked, blushing lightly. "I don't know. I mean, it was fun, but—"
"Do I need to remind you of that question you answered Friday night?" Musa interrupted, her gaze levelled on Bloom.
The redhead's eyes darted in the direction of Nicolas, Sky, and Riven (all three were standing right next to each other, and the glance was so fleeting, it was hard to pinpoint where it had gone) before returning to Musa. "I know, Muse."
"Wait, what question? And why were you two together Friday night?" Stella frowned, disliking being on the outside.
"They were at my house. It was Savannah's birthday," Sky replied, heaving a sigh that sounded like a mixture of multiple emotions.
"Aw, hell! You should've reminded me! I was going to give her something," Brandon complained.
"Guys, we're trying to get some information," Flora told them patiently.
"So what was asked?" Stella questioned again, raising her brows.
"It doesn't concern any of you, so drop the subject," Bloom retorted, making sure to only really address the left side of the circle. "Now, what're we doing this Friday?"
"Wait, wait, wait! I know you won't tell us the question, but why did you bring up the date if you weren't going to tell us anything?" Stella whined.
Bloom sighed again. "I don't think any guys here are interested in hearing about our date, and I only told you so you'd know." She shrugged. "Now, can we discuss Friday night?"
"Well, actually, we'd all decided to go to Sky's place. We thought it would be fun just to hang out and look up YouTube videos or whatever," Helia answered. Most of the group started at him in silence. "Sorry. I have been practicing talking like Link a bit too much, I believe." (3)
The five girls burst into laughter at the sudden switch in dialogue. "Oh, Helia. You crack me up," Musa teased, continuing to laugh.
"Being their amusement sucks, doesn't it?" Riven appealed to the black-haired artist. Helia nodded in agreement, his brows furrowed. "Don't worry. It means you're accepted, so you can date Flora." Riven paused. "But we'll be watching." The last sentence was said so softly, Helia wasn't sure Riven had actually said it.
"Okay, so after rehearsal on Friday, we're going to Sky's place?" Bloom double-checked.
"Yes," Timmy answered.
"All right, sounds great. Riv and I should probably head home, though, before Mom and Dad take away our Disney World trip rights," Bloom sighed.
"Oh, I've got to tell my dad about it! He's already made plans for a cruise, but I want to go there a lot more than on a cruise," Stella explained. "I'll see all of you tomorrow."
"Wait. I'll walk with you," Brandon told her. "Our cars are basically right next to each other."
He smiled at her, and she found herself smiling back. She rather enjoyed his company, and she definitely enjoyed his looks. But he was also sweet and attentive, and she loved that he flirted openly but would mainly just talk to her when they were alone. He always knew how her days were going or had gone, and he'd speak to her accordingly. It was... amazing. He was amazing.
"Okay. Let's go," the brunette boy spoke, starting to head away from the group. Stella walked after him, and he matched her pace so she wasn't having to run to keep up.
"So, how'd your day go?" Stella asked him as the doors to the auditorium closed behind them.
"It went well, though some moments were better than others. This is definitely one of those better moments," he teased lightly, winking at her.
Stella smiled coyly. "Oh?"
Brandon laughed softly, and the sound messed with all her senses, warming her even as the cold air brushed her face as he held the school door open for her. "Yes," he answered, letting the door shut.
"Thank you." She was talking about both his sweet comment and his chivalrous behavior.
"My pleasure." And it was true. He enjoyed seeing the warmth that flooded her amber eyes at the simple, gentlemanly gestures. He'd do anything to have her look at him like that.
Stella smiled, feeling slightly self-conscious, which was weird. She'd never worried about if the guys she dated really liked her – they were in high school, after all, and those relationships usually never lasted – so this was a new experience for her. She really wanted Brandon to like her, and she was always worried she would do or say something wrong in front of him. But it wasn't like she hid anything about herself from him. Lies weren't good in a relationship, and she obviously wanted the one she got with Brandon to last.
Unfortunately, they reached her car soon, and she didn't want to say goodbye. "Well, I guess we'll see each other tomorrow," Stella started off their farewells, shifting awkwardly.
"Yeah," Brandon sighed, nodding. A moment of silence passed. Then he leaned down and brushed a kiss on her cheek. "Until tomorrow, princess,"(4) he whispered. He then turned and walked away.
Stella watched him for a few seconds before slipping into her car. She smilled to herself as she lightly touched her cheek.
Brandon stopped a few cars down to watch the blonde girl. She really was like a princess to him. He was always worried he'd say something wrong, but he couldn't keep from speaking his thoughts, even if they were only expressed through his actions. Like holding a door open for her or kissing her on the cheek. Or even walking her to her car with an excuse of his car being nearby when he'd gotten a ride from Sky that morning.
Though Diaspro and Sky had left the room for a "private discussion," everyone in the room could hear their argument. Disapro didn't want to go to Disney World, and she was trying to get Sky to stay behind. He didn't see her reasoning.
"Oh, come on, Sky! Don't you know how childish that is?" Diaspro snapped at her boyfriend.
"Look, Diaspro, I want to go there. Not only because I think it would be fun, but it's also the only way Savannah will get to go. My parents can't, so they're paying for Savannah instead," Sky protested.
"I doubt Ms. Cooper would agree to that," Diaspro snorted.
"Actually, she said it was perfectly fine. Bloom asked." (5)
"Ouch," Musa whispered, grinning.
Bloom shushed her, but she was grinning about it as well.
"They could fund for Savannah to go any time, Sky." Diaspro was definitely pissed now.
"They don't have the time! It's now or never," Sky growled.
"You could stay with me..." Diapsro trailed off. "I'm sure your parents would trust Savannah with your friends."
"Diaspro, you're going on a trip to the Bahamas," Sky stressed the word, trying to get her to see reason. "I'd be stuck here with no one to hang out with. And we both know my going with you is out of the question," Sky pointed out to her.
There was a long moment of silence before the door opened again, and everyone turned to act like they hadn't been eavesdropping. Minus Bloom and Riven.
"I guess you got conned into the trip earlier, too?" Riven muttered, crossing his arms.
"It's Disney World. Why wouldn't I go?" Sky answered, grinning.
"You sure? I mean, you are turning seventeen in a couple of months. I've heard that is a life-altering age change. You start trying to be a man early," Bloom mocked, snickering.
Sky smirked in response. "And miss the chance to see you freaking out over all the Little Mermaid stuff? No chance, Red," he retorted.
"Hey, you can't call me that!" Bloom exclaimed.
"Hey, you can't call her that!" Brandon shouted at the same time. Except then he added, "Red's my nickname for her. Get your own."
"Don't worry. I was just saying it to anger her," Sky reassured his friend.
Several people were laughing by now. "You can call her Teresa," Stella told him with a smirk.
"Don't you dare go there, Stell, or I'll tell everyone your middle school nickname," Bloom threatened.
Stella paled and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, Sky. No 'Teresa,' either."
"I'll come up with something. Don't fret over it," Sky assured them.
Bloom groaned. "Great."
Everyone (minus Diaspro) laughed. "Don't worry, Bloom. It can't be that bad," Nicolas told the redhead, running his fingers through the ends of her red locks in a way that seemed slightly (and oddly/awkwardly)... intimate.
Bloom smiled up at him as Musa agreed, "Yeah. It is Sky we're talking about."
Bloom scowled at her friend before she could stop herself but instantly replaced the look with a grin as laughter sounded once again.
"Um, Sky, the food's ready," Savannah spoke over the laughter.
"Yes! Dinner!" Bloom exclaimed, bolting from her seat and out the door, Musa on her heels.
"Thanks," Sky told his sister before she darted after the two girls.
"All right, we can play a game now that Diaspro's gone," Sky announced to the group.
"Good riddance," Musa and Brandon said simultaneously. They then grinned and high-fived each other. (6)
It was a measure of how Sky had started not to really care that he didn't say antything to (or glare at) the two. Instead, he asked, "So what do we want to do?"
"Video games?" Timmy suggested.
That suggestion was shot down quickly because of the largeness of their group.
"What about Twister?" Jared piped in.
Musa rolled her eyes. "We don't have Twister." Not like she'd play it if Jared was going to. He'd been hitting on her quite a lot recently, and she didn't accept it. She wasn't interested in him. Sure, he was cute, but that was all he had going for him.
"Pictionary?" Flora asked.
"Cute. But I don't think all of us want to do that," Stella pointed out.
"I don't think Flora would, either," Helia added. "It would just be me. But thank you for the thought, Flora." The black-haired boy smiled slowly at her, and Flora blushed as she looked away.
"I want to do an active game," Bloom voiced, to which most everyone agreed.
"Charades?" Andrew queried.
"I wouldn't call that 'active,' Andrew," Musa retorted. (7)
"What about Sardines?" Savannah opted.
There was a moment of silence.
"That's perfect!" Bloom exclaimed. "We're doing something fun and active!"
"Great choice, Savannah," Nicolas agreed, winking at the eight-year-old.
Savannah flushed, smiling. "Thanks."
Bloom glanced at Nicolas with raised eyebrows as if to prove a point, and Stella couldn't help but grin. It was pretty clear by the way Nick blushed lightly that Savannah had a slight crush on her older brother's friend. It was cute, actually, and not very surprising. It was quite common for girls to like older boys at that age. (8)
Stella only wondered if Sky knew or if that was just another strike against Nicolas. She'd seen his face earlier, when Nick had been trying to reassure Bloom. Sky obviously hadn't liked the interaction, as his eyes had narrowed, his jaw had tightened, and his hands had curled into fists. And then he'd looked away to (she assumed) keep from saying or doing anything about it.
It was very clear Sky was falling (or had fallen) very hard for Bloom. And that made Stella almost as giddy as the prospect of going on a date with Brandon.
Sure, Bloom and Nicolas would be (and were) cute together, but Sky... well, he was perfect for her red-haired friend, and if he wanted Bloom, Stella hoped he got her.
Stella was brought from her thoughts by Brandon's hand on her shoulder. "Savannah chose for Bloom to go hide, so in a couple of minutes, we'll go look for her. We're supposed to work separately, but I'm sure that won't be happening by the end of the night," Brandon explained to the blonde since he knew she hadn't been paying attention.
"She chose Bloom? Shouldn't that make it easy to find her?" Stella inquired.
"Are you kidding? Not only has she been given the tour, but she had to go everywhere last week looking for this and that. Believe me, she'll find a place to hide," Musa disagreed. "It should be a challenge."
"What were you and Sky doing the whole time?" Stella asked Bloom as they waited on Sky to hide.
"Nothing! We just sat there. I mean, come on! You're supposed to be quiet during the game, for one. Two, we could've been walked in on at any moment. And third, he has a girlfriend and, well..." she trailed off, glancing very briefly at Nicolas.
"Yeah, I wonder how awkward that was for him when you two started hanging all over each other," Brandon added.
"We weren't 'hanging all over each other' as you so fluently put it, Brandon. The space was small for so many people, so Bloom sat in my lap. Big deal," Nicolas contradicted.
"He has a point," Timmy agreed. "We were all practically on each other by the end."
Knowing they were defeated, Stella and Brandon dropped the subject. Nicolas definitely wasn't gaining any points.
"Wow. I seriously found you first?" Stella asked the orange-blonde-haired boy. "That's new. I'm usually last." She smiled at him as she sat down. "So, uhm, how are you, Pete?" She was talking on purpose. Pete was one of her ex-boyfriends, and he didn't keep it a secret that he still liked her, so she was hoping someone would find them quickly.
Pete chuckled, shaking his head. "The concept of the game is to not be found, Stell," he teased.
She gritted her teeth at his familiar tone but said nothing, even though she hated him calling her by her nickname only her close friends used.
"Well, I got tired of the 'no talking' rule. It's boring," Stella sighed, frowning. "Besides, there's only one more round, and the sooner this is all over, the sooner I can go home. It's getting late."
"Stell, you've got to learn not to talk," Bloom laughed as she, Sky, and Savannah piled into the hiding spot.
"Huh. I thought you'd be hunting with Nick," Stella murmured.
"She was," Nicolas answered as he came into the room, too.
"Well, this shouldn't take long, then," Stella observed happily.
"Okay, last round, and it's Stella hiding. I'd say five minutes, tops," Bloom bet, grinning.
"Yes, the probability of us all finding her quickly is very high," Tecna nodded.
Brandon, though he wanted to, couldn't deny this statement. Stella had been the last one to find them all every time but the previous round, and then it had taken less than a minute for four of the others to find her and Pete, so the likelihood that this would take a long time was very low.
"Oh, come on, guys. Stella never did like these games all that much, anyway. She's always hated Hide-and-Seek, so why should Sardines be any different for her?" Flora defended her friend.
"Ever the defender, eh?" Jared asked.
"Yes, Jared, Flora has a conscience, and she doesn't really enjoy hearing anyone talk bad about others, especially friends. It's not a life-altering moment," Musa snapped. Jared had been saying stupid crap like that all night, and it had worn on her nerves.
Jared blinked, frowning. "I was just—"
"Okay, Jared, is it? Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Since she won't tell you bluntly, I will. You're annoying as hell," Riven growled, staring at the raven-haired boy with thinly-veiled anger.
"Riven, that's not nice," Flora murmured.
"I'm not nice," Riven retorted.
Musa couldn't help but grin at that. Riven definitely wasn't "the boy next door" or anything, but he also wasn't the badass he wanted everyone to believe he was, especially with how he watched over his little sister and her friends. It was sweet and – she hated to admit it – cute.
"Okay," Sky announced, "it's time to start hunting."
As everyone basically paired up and started searching in small groups, Brandon lagged behind and tried to think where Stella would hide. The most obvious places would have been a bedroom or a bathroom, so he knew not to look there. He was trying to think of the last place she would hide.
Frowning, he just started looking around him. Most of the group had gone downstairs, but he had an inkling Stella would have stayed on the second floor, which was why he was looking around for a room that she could hide in.
It was roughly five minutes later that he found what he was looking for: a maid's utility closet. "Bingo," he whispered to himself as he glanced around. Seeing no one nearby, he quietly opened the door and looked inside. As he had expected, the blonde girl sat to one side, on a bucket of some sort. She also looked like she was ready to go to sleep. "Want some company?" he teased as he shut the door behind him and sat on the small, overturned bucket next to her.
Stella simply smiled at him as they sat there quietly. Of all the people to find her first, she was glad it was Brandon. It was nice just having him sit by her, on a bucket in a maid's closet, not even talking at all.
After a few long minutes, she couldn't stand it. Shifting, she moved to where her lips were hovering near Brandon's ear. "Are we allowed to move spots? Because I don't think they're coming," Stella breathed quietly against his ear before moving her head back some.
Brandon hadn't been expecting the sudden heat against his ear – in fact, he'd thought Stella had drifted off – which was why his head flipped around, and he stopped breathing. Stella's amber eyes were slightly wide, but an unmistakeable emotion flared in her eyes at their closeness that Brandon was sure was reciprocated in his brown ones.
And in that moment, Brandon threw all good intentions out the window.
He leaned down and captured her lips with his. Her response was immediate, and her arms wrapped around his neck as his hands threaded into her soft, golden locks. He was glad they were sitting down because he knew he wouldn't have been capable of standing; his brain completely shut down as his instincts took over. Though it wasn't entirely carnal, their kiss wasn't exactly gentle, either.
Daring to go one step further, Brandon licked her lower lip. Stella was surprised, but she recovered quickly and parted her lips. A quiet moan sounded in the back of her throat as his tongue moved against hers. Unfortunately, by this time her subconscious was pointing out how difficult it was to kiss in this position. She was practically falling off the bucket, and they had enough space between them to fit another body. She made a quick decision and moved to sit in Brandon's lap. It didn't bother him (obviously), as he just tilted her head back for better access, and another moan sounded in her throat.
And then they were jarred back to their senses when there was a loud CRACK! And they ended up in a heap on the floor. The little bucket had been lucky enough to stand Brandon's weight alone (it wasn't mean to hold more than fifty pounds) so adding another person had been asking too much of the plastic item. It was a good thing, though, as the two realized their hormones had gotten a bit out of hand, and neither of them really knew what to say. After all, they had just met each other a little over five weeks ago. This wasn't exactly how either of them had wanted to start this (whatever it was) out.
That was why they both said the same thing:
"Sorry."
They blinked, simply looking at each other before they started laughing. The whole situation seemed so ridiculous. They'd just had their first kiss in a maid's utility closet on a bucket while playing Sardines.(9) It was hilarious.
"I don't think I could explain what just happened, even if I knew all the words in the dictionary," Stella told the brunette, beaming up at him.
Brandon laughed and pulled her to him, resting his chin on her head. "I couldn't, either," he agreed. His nose suddenly twitched as a familiar scent hit him. "Stella?"
"Hmm?" She titlted her head back to look at him.
"What perfume are you wearing?"
Stella's amber eyes glinted as she laughed. "It's Daisy by Marc Jacobs," she answered, settling her head back down on his shoulder. After a long moment, she spoke again. "Do you not like it?" Her voice sounded drowsy, and he smiled to himself.
"No, it's great. It's subtle and sweet. It doesn't burn your nose with a strong odor or anything. And it suits you; I don't think you would ever wear something overpowering," Brandon told her.
"You're right, though most people expect the opposite. I can't stand the pungent perfumes. They give me a headache," the blonde girl confided, her eyes closing as she felt his arms tighten around her.
Brandon didn't answer, and when the door finally opened, the tenage girl was asleep.
Bloom quirked a brow as she, and several others, surveyed the scene. "What happened in here?"
Brandon chuckled as he answered truthfully, "I'm not sure I even know."(10) Slowly, he stood, cradling the still-sleeping blonde to his chest as he walked out of the closet. "You think you could drive her home?" he asked Bloom.
"Yeah," she agreed immediately. "She's not the only one asleep, either. We put Savannah to bed, and Flora was asleep on the couch when we found her and Helia. It's really late, especially after being at school and rehearsal all week." Grinning, she followed Brandon down the stairs. "I'll probably crash at her house. It'll be too close to curfew for Riven to follow and take me home."
As Bloom headed to Riven's car to grab her stuff, Brandon headed to Stella's car. He was saved having to open the door by another person helping. "Thanks, Sky," he murmured, setting the girl down softly in the passenger's seat. He buckled her in and looked around since he didn't hear a response from his blonde friend.
He smiled as he caught sight of Sky talking to Bloom by Riven's car. He wasn't sure what was being said, but he knew he'd probably find out soon.
Turning back to Stella, Brandon leaned down and kissed her temple. "Sweet dreams, princess," he whispered before he closed the car door as quietly as he could. He then started back inside to say his farewells.
Meanwhile, a certain blonde shifted in her seat, sleepily blinked, and closed her eyes again as a smile spread across her face. "Sweet dreams to you, too, Brandon," she murmured.
1 – This cast member might actually be Layla. She's in the musical, but I couldn't bring myself to make her part of the group just yet.
2 – The group of eleven is the normal group of ten that we all know and love, plus Nicolas. He's always there, so I changed the number. ^_~
3 – I hadn't had Helia speak in a while, so I wanted him to say something. When I proof-read my work, it didn't fit with him, so I came up with that excuse. XD
4 – Okay, I had to have Brandon keep his "princess" name for Stella. It's just... so Brandon. If he didn't say it, he wouldn't be himself. Not to mention, I think it's just cute. :D
5 – I'm sorry, but Bloom had to be mentioned there. That was like a bitch slap to Diaspro.
6 – That was a special request from Sarah. Hope you guys liked the Musa-Brandon friendship there.
7 – I didn't realize how much Musa seemed to hate Andrew and Jared until then. But she has bad blood with both of them, so keep that in mind when she's mean to them.
8 – Okay, this is from experience. I've seen this happen (and had it happen to me) before. I had a crush on one of my brother's friends when I was, like, seven, and I found out that most of my friends (who had older siblings) could say the same.
9 – If you haven't noticed, I come up with the weirdest places for people to have their first kisses. This one just came about on accident. But I think theirs might be the weirdest one. It definitely beats a garage. Lol. But to be honest, Tecna and Timmy might be the only two who would kiss in a normal place. I actually wanted to have one cliché kiss in here, and they're the only ones it'll work for. ^_~
10 – Originally, I was planning on leaving the chapter off there, but then I was like, "That's not good. Their fluffy chapter ends with Brandon talking to Bloom?" I couldn't do that to you guys, so I added more.
REVIEWS! :D
Emily Borgo – Uhm, thanks for the suggestion, but I don't see Stella and Brandon doing that; they'd be fine with flaunting their relationship openly. Neither of them are shy or anything, and people are kind of expecting it, so... Yeah, there was no reason for them to run around behind everyone's back.
gleekyconverses215 – Well, hello again! Lol. Thanks for all those reviews on the separate chapters. And I'm glad you had the same thoughts I did. Diaspro really only cares about her status, and she just wants to say she's got an alliance with Eraklyon (on the show). Too bad for her Sky doesn't care. XDD
Haha. Yeah, I love Flora and Helia. Flora's the shy one while Helia's okay with being straightforward with her. They're precious. ^-^
Hm, yeah. I don't know if it's possible, but I could see Sky trying to do everything he could to make it happen, so... Yeah, Savannah's lucky to have him as her older brother. [[Of course, Bloom will be even luckier than Savannah later on. -Sighs.-]]
Well, yeah! Bloom has nothing against wearing his clothes, but Diaspro's all about her looks. Wearing Sky's clothes doesn't go with her looks. But it just gives Sky more reasons to fall for Bloom. I mean, she's turning out to be everything he'd want, no? XD
Are you talking about Bloom and Sky breaking up? Or about Diaspro and Sky? 'Cause you'll get to see the latter. I'm—not going to continue that thought since it'd be a spoiler. Oops?
Yeah, I know. I'm the same; BloomxSky is my favorite, mainly because I like to manipulate their relationship so that it actually works. In the show, it's kind of... off, so I'm trying to fill in holes and make it more likely to happen. ;D
lulubell1234 – There you are! ^^ I missed you in the last chapter, but I see you made up for it with the review. Lol.
I'm glad you thought the romance was balanced enough for Flora and Helia to kiss in a garage. I was actually slightly worried about it, but then I just went for it because Helia's disoriented, and Flora's too shy to act on her side like that, so... it gave me the perfect excuse. ^_~
Yes, Savannah is now eight! I had to have her slumber party happen, and that was the only time it would fit in. It was partially just a filler chapter to get some time to pass. ^^; And I would've loved to have been there. I mean, it would've been a chance to meet Sky. How could I pass that up? XD
And Sky and Bloom have slightly evolved, though not all that much. They'll evolve more in DW. Can't wait for those chapters. Lol.
Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this one~
Until next time!
