Nothing to say except thanks for all the reviews you guy are the best :). Btw, thanks for the dancing idea Jen, I'm gonna try squeeze that in somewhere. This chapter is leading off the last one but in Stella's P.O.V, and I got a review that its a bit hard to read so I spaced the dialogue out, hopefully its easier to read now. BTW if its still too cramped, then put it on reader view, and tell me if I should keep writing like this. Enjoy!
Stella's P.O.V
"Shit, I totally forgot I told Danny I'd join him for lunch for some soda tasting test." I said.
"Honey your lunch is all over your face and clothes!" Bloom laughed.
"Whatever, let her go, she can't cause a fight around him unless she gets jealous.." Musa smirked.
"Ha Ha very funny. You girls should join me, its more fun than sitting with these guys!" I said.
"Why do you act like you hate us so much? Afraid to admit that you love us?" Brandon said. Cocky bastard.
"Its not an act! If you wanna know the reason, think back to the burned remains of my hard work!" I said, walking off.
"Talk about holding a grudge!" Riven said. I looked for Daniel and spotted him on a table with a couple other guys and girls, like maybe 5 including him.
"Hey, Stel" Daniel said, signalling for me to sit down.
"Hi" I smiled. The other 4 had welcoming smiles on their faces, and he introduced me to them. There were 2 girls, one with blue eyes and blonde hair called Emily, and one with black hair and green eyes called Sophie, and 2 guys, one called Luke who had brown eyes and light brown hair, and one called Jake who had greyish blue eyes and dirty blonde hair, and finally there was Daniel. Luke was dating Emily and Jake was dating Sophie, and Daniel was single but a huge flirt. Okay, long boring introductions, I know.
"Aw you guys are such a cute couple!" Emily squealed, looking at me and Dan.
"Oh, no I'm not dating him. We're just friends, like seriously" I said.
"Finally I don't feel like a third wheel, or a fifth wheel in this case, anymore!" Dan joked.
"So. You up for some soda?" Sophie asked, dumping a pack of 6 different sodas on the table.
"Yep. I don't need to have the whole bottle right?" I said.
"Its only a sip of each. Our dumb maths teacher made us do this survey thing so we made it interesting by using which Sodas are most popular amongst teenagers, not what newspapers are the most popular among old people, like he told us to do" Jake said, pouring them into plastic cups.
"Which one first?" I asked. He pointed to the one with orange fizzy soda in it, so I took a sip.
"BLEUGH!" I said, wiping my mouth.
"I know right! I saved best for last!" Sophie said.
"Well you have good soda taste because that one tastes like something teachers would enjoy, more specifically, Miss Griselda" I said.
"Miss Griselda? Let me guess, some strict, really annoying teacher at your old school?" Luke said.
"Yep, she almost expelled me for blowing up the po- the lab, blowing up the lab" I said, interrupting myself. I almost said potions lab, if that slipped out they'd think I'm crazy!
"See, perfect match! She's a bad girl, your a bad boy, she's insanely pretty, and you're insanely cute, which I'm saying as a FRIEND" Emily said, which made me blush like crazy.
"Do you not understand the concept of opposite genders being involved in a friendship? Enough with the matchmaking!" Dan said.
"Don't be so harsh, my friends say I'm a matchmaker too, and a good one I might add!" I laughed.
"You've got the Hastings attitude" Sophie said.
"Pretty Little Liars reference?" I said.
"Yep, you are DEFIANTLY in my good book!" Emily said. After a tasting all the sodas, lunch was over and we had PE. I overheard the girls talking about me, and they said it as about shopping so I was all up for it.
"Musa, can I drive?" I asked.
"Hmm, let me think..Stella, behind the wheel of my car, on the streets of Gardenia where innocent men and women walk by. I don't think so" She said sarcastically.
"Okay okay I'm a reckless driver, I know, don't rub it in my face!" I sighed, getting in the front.
"Where are we going, the Mall right?" Musa asked, turing on the radio.
"Duh!" I said.
"So, Stella, how do you feel about Brandon?" Flora asked.
"What do you mean how do I feel about him?" I scoffed. God not this again.
"She means, do still have feelings for him, do you like him, even as a friend?" Aisha asked.
"No! And If I were to describe my feelings towards him, Flora's ears would not appreciate all the swearing and cussing!" I said.
"And anyways, I know you guys are still crushing on them thats why your asking me!" I said.
"Or is it that you're snapping at us and always yelling at him because you express your love through anger?" Musa smirked.
"If I expressed my love through anger then I'd be tormenting you guys, and being the nicest person in the world to Brandon!" I said. Truth is, I have no idea about how I feel towards him. I obviously hate him, and get mad at him because it reminds me of what happened last year. Riven was right, i totally do hold a grudge like that.
"Turn right at the next stop sign to get there" Tecna said, interrupting my thoughts.
"How are things going between you and Daniel?" Bloom asked.
"You act like we're dating, so for the tenth time we are friends. He's kinda like my GBF, you know like the movie?" I said.
"What are you on about?" Musa asked.
"Remember, GBF as in Gay Best Friend?" I said.
"Daniels gay?" Aisha said.
"No, he's straight, I just mean he's kinda like the guy in the movie minus the gay part, so he's just a...Guy best friend?" I said.
"Well stick with calling him Dan because people will get the wrong idea" Flora laughed.
"Are we there yet?" I asked.
"Wait I need to find a good parking space" Musa said.
"Who cares about parking just park anywhere and lets go!" I whined, desperate to go shopping. Once we finally got out of the car and into the mall, I went to literally all the stores, and bought as much as I could carry. Then once my arms were full, I used Musa's, Bloom's, Tecna's Aisha's and Flora's arms to carry my shopping.
"That'll last me for the mission" I said.
"Stella, there is enough to last ALL of us a whole YEAR!" Tecna sighed.
"Don't worry you can borrow anything you want from my closet!" I smiled.
"Good because I'm totally taking that graphic tee and those black jeans" Musa said.
"Already planning outfits are we?" I said.
"I'm taking that floral headband for tomorrow" Flora said.
"And I'm taking those high wasted shorts" Tecna said.
"And I NEED those platform pumps" Bloom said.
"Army green ripped jeans are def mine!" Aisha said.
"Calm down you guys, I know you're incredibly desperate to get a hold of my fabulous couture!" I said sarcastically, flipping my hair.
"Cocky much?" Bloom whispered.
"At least I'm joking unlike some people aka The enemy Posse" I said.
"I know right, they're all 'OMG my daddy said I can't buy the white house because it belongs to the president like how is that even fair!" Musa said, in a spoilt brat kind of tone.
"So what do you guys wanna do when we get home?" Flora said.
"How about we actually start looking for Acheron and the Trix" Tecna said.
"Not if we find you first!" Icy said, appearing in front of us. We were in an alley, and were surrounded by the Trix, but Acheron wasn't here. No powers, great, just great.
"Perfect f*cking timing!" I sighed to myself. All we could do now was dodge their attacks, but not fight back.
"ICE ATTACK!" Icy screamed, sending disks of crystals at Flora.
"Watch out Flo!" Bloom yelled, as Flora jumped up to a platform. We climbed up the plumbing ladder until we were on the top of a building (like the ones in season 4).
"Surrounded, and nowhere to go girlies?" Darcy cackled.
"LIGHNING BOLT" Stormy yelled, sending streams of lightning at me. I covered my face with my hands and expected to fall back, but instead I was untouched. I moved my arms and opened my eyes to see a bright green phanto blade in front of me.
"Brandon?" I said. Luckily the specialists arrived in the nick of time, but I didn't make it seem like a good thing.
"Excited to see me?" he chuckled.
"No, I can defend myself ya know!" I huffed.
"Lets be real here, you would be demolished if I didn't defend you, so accept the fact that you can't fight without powers" he said. You know what? I know karate so screw you Brandon! While the guys were busy fighting the Trix, Aisha and I were on the edge of the platform about to be swallowed by a ginormous tornado.
"What do we do?" I panicked.
"Well it either be eaten by that, fall off, or jump" Aisha said.
"JUMP? Are you crazy?" I said.
"Come on Stel, we can make it!" she said.
"Maybe you can, but I certainly can't!" I said. It was coming closer, and the wind was making my hair go crazy.
"Stella NOW!" She screamed. I took a deep breath and grabbed her hand, as we took a step back and then jumped across to the other platform.
"I'm alive!" I sang, as I opened my eyes. Suddenly, I felt a rush of energy in me, and I felt strong again.
"Stel, we got our powers back! We got Bloomix!" Aisha said. And she was right, just then, I transformed.
"These outfits are rad, and the colour is so chic, and..." I started.
"Stella, stop checking yourself out, we have Trix booties to kick." Aisha said, as we flew back to the other platform. I noticed Flora had Bloomix as well, probably by saving someone, she's so selfless and caring so it would have been a piece of cake for her.
"Dark slam" Darcy said, shooting at Musa.
"Light spectrum" I said, sending a pink and yellow spiralling beam at her attack, breaking it off.
"How did they get new powers?!" Darcy said.
"Who cares, we'll just get Acheron to make us stronger" Stormy said.
"Come on sisters, this isn't the end!" Icy hissed, as they all disappeared in thin air.
"Yeah what were you saying about me not being able to defend myself?" I smirked to Brandon, who just chuckled.
"At least half of us have powers. Now Bloom, Musa and I need to earn Bloomix." Tecna said.
"How the hell did I earn it though, all I did was jump over a building, no biggie" I said.
"It was a biggie if you were scared to death, and whimpering 'Aisha, help me, I can't do it'" Aisha mocked.
"Whatever" I huffed.
"Now, we should be getting back before they strike again." Bloom said.
"OH MY GOD!" I screamed, with my eyes wide.
"What? What is it Stel? The Trix? Acheron?" Flora said in a worried tone.
"No, my couture, its down there. I swear if they laid a finger on my shopping I will karate chop their faces like f*cking buzz lightyear!" I huffed, flying back down and checking my bags.
"Such a Stella comment" Musa sighed.
"How much did you buy? You'll need a truck to carry that home!" Brandon said, appearing right next to me.
"Jesus christ boy, don't ever do that again you scared the hell outta me" I gasped.
"Can we go home I'm hungry!" Musa whined.
"Okay okay, just once I get my bags into the car" i said, loading them into the back. Once we got home, I loaded everything into my closet, then got a lecture from Bloom on not using any magic.
"Especially at school, if you get into a fight, you can't threaten them with spells or transform" Bloom said, walking around in circles.
"Is that all?" I said.
"Oh, almost forgot. Absolutely NO pranks, am I clear?" she said.
"Dammit! Okay fine, no pranks, no magic." I sighed. I changed into a light grey adidas sweatshirt, black leggings and a pair of fuzzy socks, and put my hair into a messy bun. As I walked into the kitchen, I could smell something really nice cooking, which was definitely Flora's egg, chicken and vegetable noodles. I requested pizza, but Flora said I need to eat something healthy. She's literally the mother of all of us.
"I'm gonna make some hot chocolate, you want some Flo?" I asked, getting a mug.
"Yep" she smiled.
"I want some too" Brandon said, popping his head into the kitchen door.
"Me too" Nabu said
"And me" Bloom said.
"Diddo" Helia said.
"Me-" Sky started, but I cut him off.
"OKAY I GET THE IDEA HOT CHOCOLATE FOR EVERYONE!" I yelled, hearing 11 yeses.
"Ugh this is so much work!" I whined.
"You have magic, stupid!" Riven said from the other room.
"I forgot, no need to be rude, f*ckface!" I yelled,waving my finger to stir around 12 spoons. I finished them all off with whipped cream and white and pink marshmallows, because I'm Tumblr like that.
"You all owe me!" I said, going to the living room and giving them out.
"I don't, because I already saved you before" Brandon smirked.
"Yeah well there won't be anymore saving from now on" I said.
"Guys Miss Faragonda's calling" Tecna said.
"Girls, how are you doing?" Miss F said.
"Good. Stella, Flora and Aisha got their Bloomix, and we faced the Trix but they were weak compared the Bloomix power, so they went back to get stronger" Bloom explained.
"Well done girls. It will take a lot longer than you think this time. I discovered that Acheron is still trapped and the trix are building up power to free him. Once he's freed, the real mission will begin, but now its defending yourselves and the people of Gardenia. The Trix could take months to build up power." Miss F said.
"Months? So its like a long vacation on Earth" I squealed.
"Just be careful and keep a low profile, no magic at school remember!" She said. Everyone looked at me for some reason.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" I said.
"Because last time we came here you threatened to turn someone into a toad!" Musa said.
"Bye, and good luck" Miss F said, ending the call. Once I finished eating dinner and drank my hot coco, I went to bed, a long well deserved slumber after a long day.
I'm tired now lol. I know there isn't that much SXB, just Brandon flirting, but more is coming soon, I promise! R&R please :P
