"I know the plan's crazy but hey there is a bright side to this, one you get to kiss her and two you'll be together finally. There is always a bright side." Stella said. I can't help but laugh silently at the irony of that. The sun fairy saying there is always a bright side of things.

"I hope this works Stella. I don't want Flora to think I love her and for her to hate me."

"Again we've been over this. Flora doesn't hate you and definitely won't after you kiss her. Geez, you're almost as insecure as Riven is about Musa."

"I heard that!" Riven yelled while Musa giggled

"You were supposed to and it's true!" I yelled back "Now Bloom and Tecna have gone to the most likely place Flora is hiding, Linphea, to bring her back. Now you two will be in her room alone and you will confess again and then kiss her if she needs more assurance. Once Bloom and Tecna are back, we will all leave and loiter around the grounds of Alfea. Kapish?" Helia stared at me quizzically as did everyone else.

"What?"

"What is Kapish?" Brandon asked

"It's a saying from Earth that Bloom taught me. It means do you understand. I believe she said it was Italian, so Kapish?"

"Um yeah." Helia answered still unsure.

"They're here! Musa said looking out the window."

"Ok everyone hide." Stella said. "Except you of course Helia. Now don't screw up." She ran out of the room with the others. I heard the girl's conversation outside the door; Bloom was convincing Flora to go inside, and then when she was ready come back down. I turned around and faced Flora as she walked in.

"Hey Helia."

Time Jump Back

I was strolling in the gardens with my father discussing what was happing at school at how the classes were when Bloom and Tecna appeared from a portal in front of me.

"Flora, oh thank goodness we found you. Miss Faragonda needs us back at Alfea. She wouldn't tell us why but it was vital that all of us would be there when she did tell us." Bloom said scared. The look on Bloom's face of horror made me worried. Was the world in danger again? If it was, I would fight beside my friends

"I leave immediately, I'm sorry father."

"Flora, its fine. You are needed elsewhere. I will tell your mother and Rose goodbye from you"

"Thank you" I hugged him and walked with Bloom and Tecna into the portal. When we arrived, I could see Musa at the window of my room. Should they all be waiting outside Miss Faragonda's office? I took no notice of it and followed Bloom. She told me to put everything away then meet her at Miss Faragonda's office. When I walked in, the only person in the room was Helia. He turned around and saw me, his face lighting up.

"Hey Helia."

"Hi Flora, listen I wanted to explain what happened that night but you left "before I could."

"Guys shush, he's speaking." In secret, Tecna and Timmy had done they're tech thing again and set up a hidden camera in Flora and Bloom's room so that we could watch what happened and know if the plan had failed or not. Helia took a step forward but Flora backed away breaking out in tears.

"What's to explain, you said you didn't love me, that you feel nothing for me."

"Flora you left before you heard everything."

"I didn't want to hear any more about how you didn't care. Do you think I want to hear from the guy I like that he doesn't like me back."

"Flora please listen…wait you like me?"

"Yes, I know that I deny it to my friends but yes I do like you, a lot" Flora seemed to have calmed down and was crying less. "I know that you don't like-" The boys behind me whooped and hi fived. Helia pulled her in and kissed Flora which she melted in to wrapping her arms around him.

"That's my boy." Riven said.

"Shut up, Riven, I want to hear them." Musa said slapping him. Helia had broken off holding Flora in his arms.

"Flora, I don't just like, I love you. That night when Brandon asked me, I was just denying it like you were with your friends but if you stayed and listened longer you would have heard me say that I loved you."

"You love me."

"Yes, I do. Flora will you be my girlfriend?" Flora leaned in and lightly kissed him.

"I would love to." She smiled and giggled as Helia spun her round.

Line break – Six Years Later

"So what happened afterwards then?" Emily, Bloom's daughter asked Flora. She was babysiting her while Bloom and Sky were at a Council meeting and wouldn't be back till late.

"Well we lived happily ever after. Helia and I were in love and we grew together. During our third year of relationship, Helia asked me to marry him and I said yes."

"How did he ask you?" She asked intrigued

"I think we'll save that story for another night when you stay over again. Right now you need to get to bed, but I will tell you one thing. It was a wonderful proposal and we are living happily ever after."

"I hope I have a happy ever after Flora like you did."

"I'm sure you will Emily." I tucked her in bed

"Thank you for the story."

"You're welcome. Goodnight and sweet dreams" I kissed her forehead and she fell asleep.

"You're very good with children Flora." Helia said standing at the doorway. He walked over and put his arms around me rubbing my belly. "I can't wait till we have our own." I turned around and kissed him.

"Me either."
