Flora walked downstairs looking for the dining room. After a few minutes of looking she heard people talking and followed the noise. Once in the room she saw that everyone was seated, digging into their food while talking.
Helia was the first to see her and waved. "Hello Flora."
"What took you so long?" Aisha asked, turning her direction. "Riven was about to eat your dinner."
"I got lost trying to find my way here." Flora explained, taking a seat between Aisha and Helia. "No one gave me the grand tour so I had to figure out where to go on my own."
"Sorry about that. I am usually the one that gives tours but been so preoccupied lately that it slipped my mind." Helia explained.
"It's no big deal. I have memorised some of the paths already." Flora reassured him. "It's going to take some time to know everywhere in the house though."
"Good luck with that Princess." Riven huffed, eating his food. "Helia, Saladin and Krystal are the only one that know this house inside and out. Sky and I have been here the longest next to them and not even we know most of the hiding places here."
"Oh well. The important thing is that I know where all the essentials are." Flora said. Looking down at her meal, a frown appeared on her face.
"Flora, is there something wrong?" Saladin asked, seeing the sad expression. "You don't like the food?"
On her plate was a big piece of chicken with gravy, rice and vegetable.
"I am a vegetarian." She said. "Sorry, I should have mentioned it earlier."
"So can I have your meat?" Sky was the first to ask.
"Sky!" Bloom nudged him.
"What? She can have my vegetables." He exclaimed.
"I am so sorry." Krystal sincerely apologised. "I should have asked you first since your new before cooking it."
"You can have my dinner, Flora." Roxy offered. "I am full anyway."
"No worries Roxy. You can have my food." Helia moved his plate over to hers. On it was a vegetarian casserole. It was barely touched.
Roxy and Helia were the only vegetarians in the mansion before she came along.
"No, you should eat. I can always go to the nearest restaurant and pick up something." She moved the plate over to him.
"No public transportation comes this way." Riven proclaimed. "Helia and Stella don't like it when people drive their vehicles."
"I am not getting my car till tomorrow." Flora sighed, wishing it was today.
"You can use the Jeep in the garage." Jared suggested. "Anyone can drive it."
"Enough!" Stella hissed. "I will just teleport Flora to the nearest restaurant and get her damn food."
"That too." Everyone said, forgetting that Stella could teleport.
Flora gave her food to Sky before Stella teleport her upstairs for her purse then to the nearest restaurant that sells vegetarian food.
Once back inside the mansion Flora and Stella saw that everyone was still around the table, talking and waiting for them.
As they sat down, Flora opened her box of food to reveal a Vegetable Casserole and Pappardelle with Mushrooms.
After everyone finished eating Helia offered Flora the grand tour which she gladly accepted while the others went to their room.
It took about an hour before the tour ended upstairs on the balcony.
"This looks so beautiful." Flora stated as she gazed at the night sky. "I can see the stars so much better than in the city."
"This is my second favourite place on the entire estate." Helia told her. "I can see the stars, the lake, forest and garden from right here."
"So what is your favourite place?" Flora questioned.
"It's the rose garden. I adore the presences of nature. It's also my favourite place to draw."
"That's cool. Growing up in a foster home I didn't have a garden so whichever school I went to I had to beg the principal to use an unused area of the school to grow one." Flora said. "Everyone was so surprised that I managed to grow an entire garden in less than a month. I used my nature powers which became active when I was five to grow it."
"If you care to share, what happened to your parents why you ended up in a foster home?" Helia asked.
"They died in a car crash when I was five. I was at school at the time when it happened." Flora sighed.
"It must have been a tough life." Helia commented. "My parents died when I was eleven. It was painful but at least I still have my Grandfather. He is the only family I have left but he is barely around."
"You're lucky. At least you still have him. I think my parents would be proud of me right now. I got accepted to Magix University to become a Vet on a full scholarship and I graduated from Alfea High at the top of my year."
"Smarty Pants" Helia joked. "They would have been proud of you."
"I had to work hard to get into college. I wasn't going to look to my former foster family to send me to school." Flora smiled.
"The good thing is that you will have company. Krystal and I are currently attending Magix University to become Architects." Helia said. "Riven, Sky, Brandon, Nabu, Roy and Timmy will be attending this year also."
"At least I will know a few people there and maybe get a lift if my car isn't ready yet." Flora said.
"You bought a car?" He asked.
"No, I entered a contest. They were giving away a customised made car to the person who wrote the best essay about why they deserved the car. I won and suppose to get an electric light purple convertible tomorrow." Flora informed him.
"Cool."
The two talked for a while before the desire for sleep came over them.
Standing in front of Flora's room door, the brunette planted a kiss on his cheek. "I enjoyed spending time with you. It was fun and I feel comfortable talking to you."
"Know the feeling. Good night, Flora and sweet dreams." He kissed her hand.
Flora blushed. "Good night."
Flora entered her room feeling wonderful after such a horrible start to the day. Once the door closed Helia headed to his room with a smile on his face clearly showing he enjoyed spending time with her.
Entering the room Helia saw Krystal lying on the bed nude.
"Hey." He said, closing the door.
"Hi. You seem happy." Krystal stated, happy to see him smile.
"I feel happy." He replied as the lavender hair teen got up from the bed. "I am always happy to see the most beautiful person in existence."
Krystal smiled as she reached him. "Helia, you have always looked so handsome to me."
"Have I told you how beautiful and sexy you look today?" He hugged her waist. "Then again, you always look beautiful to me."
"Thank you." She blushed. "You sure know how to make me blush."
"I love you, so much Krystal." Helia declared as Krystal wrapped her arms around Helia's neck.
"I love you too, Helia." Krystal replied.
Helia and Krystal were born at the same month, day, year, time and at the same hospital. Their parents have been friends before they were born so the two grow up together in the mansion since birth. From they were young the two developed an unbreakable bond of friendship and trust.
When they were ten Krystal and Helia have been dating. Despite the young age their parents when they were still alive approved of the relationship. They saw that the two had a connection that was unbreakable.
He leaned forward to plant a kiss on her lips. Krystal gladly returned the kiss. Using her power the teen phased Helia's clothes off of his body and onto the ground.
Breaking the kiss Helia lifted her up and carried Krystal to the bed. Placing his body gently on top of Krystal's the two locked lips once more. Moans escaped their mouths as the kiss became more passionate.
Krystal wrapped her arms tightly around Helia's neck once more. Their lips parted way so their tongues could meet for a heated dance. Helia used his hands and began touching her all over. He couldn't get enough of how wonderful she felt against him.
For the rest of the night the two had sex with each other.
Next Day
Helia was the first to wake up. Krystal was lying on top of him with her arms around Helia's neck. The blue hair male had his arms around Krystal's waist. Looking at the lavender hair female, Helia thought. 'Krystal and I have been together for nearly ten years now. Krystal and I have known each other our entire lives. We know, accept and understand each other's good as well as bad habits.'
Making a decision, Helia leaned forward he kissed Krystal's lips to wake her up. The lavender hair mutant let out a blissful sigh as their lips parted ways.
"Good morning sweetie." Krystal smiled, opening her eyes. "I love waking up in your arms. It makes me feel so safe."
"It's feels comforting having you in my arms." He began touching her all over.
Krystal moaned softly as she placed her body on top of Helia's. She then wrapped her arms around his neck, to bring their bodies closer.
"Oh Helia." She moaned softly. "I love you so much."
"I love you, Krystal." He confessed. "Do you remember what today is my love?"
"How could I forget? It's our birthday. Also this day ten years ago we confessed our romantic feelings for each other and became a couple." Helia mentioned. "This is also the day we lost our virginities to each other."
"Happy birthday and anniversary, sweetie." Krystal said.
"Happy birthday and anniversary, my love." Helia said.
Sharing a kiss, the two made love.
