Moving Forward

"Bloom, would you like to go on a date with me?"

"Yes, I would."

Selina exhaled after holding her breath awaiting what her childhood friend and crush would say in response to her question. Bloom and Sky had just broken up a few months ago and Selina wondered if it was too soon to ask or if Bloom would even be interested in her. When Bloom said yes, Selina felt the weight of the world lift off of her shoulders.

"Really?" Selina asked, not believing what she heard.

"Of course, one date couldn't hurt." Bloom smiled at Selina.

"Meet in the courtyard at eight?"

"It's a date." Bloom giggled.

"Yes...it is." Selina whispered. Bloom's giggle softened into a small smile.

"Okay, well I better go get ready." Bloom nervously played with the ends of her hair.

"Me too." Selina replied as she backed away from Bloom to run back to her dorm room.

It was eight o'clock and Selina was pacing back and forth through the courtyard. Selina wore a navy colored v-neck dress. Selina stopped when she saw a pair of pale legs approach her. Selina looked up and saw Bloom in a short light blue dress and her fiery orange hair gathered in a large bun on the top of her head.

"You look great, Bloom." Selina smiled at Bloom.

"You do too. Now, where are we going?" Bloom asked as she walked up to Selina.

"It is a surprise." Selina smirked playfully.

"Then let's go! I love surprises!" Bloom exclaimed, placing her hand into Selina's.

Selina's cheeks turned a light pink, feeling Bloom's hand in her's. Selina shook her head to clear her head before walking with Bloom off of the Alfea campus.

In Magix, Selina had blindfolded Bloom and led her through town until Bloom heard the sound of metal doors being slid open.

"Um, Selina, where are we?" Bloom nervously asked.

"You can take off the blindfold in a few seconds." Selina replied as she ran around the building turning on lights. Soon, Bloom heard the sound of running water.

"What is going on? Are we inside or outside? I am so confused." Bloom chuckled.

"Just wait. Okay," Selina panted, "you can take off your blindfold." Selina instructed. Bloom lifted her hands behind her head and untied the blindfold, and gasped.

Bloom came face to face with an exact replica of the Forest of Flowers, where she and Selina met and used to play when they were children.

"How..." Bloom stammered.

"Flora helped me but I thought that it would be nice to remember the good parts of our past instead of the bad." Selina explained.

"Selina, it is beautiful! I love it! Thank you!" Bloom exclaimed as she looked around.

"I am glad that you love it. That makes me very happy to know that." Selina smiled up at Bloom. "Come on, I made us a picnic." Selina grabbed Bloom's hand and led her to the middle of the clearing where there was a picnic blanket and basket set up.

Bloom and Selina sat down, enjoying the food and the memories that they shared when they were growing up together.

"Snakes? Of all creatures. You hated snakes when we were growing up." Bloom laughed.

"Hey, I thought that I would be a new person. I never thought that I would be a witch and working for one of the most evil people in the universe but there I was. Fighting you and the rest of the Winx, in cohorts with the Trix. Man, to think that I even thought I could poison Flora. She has been nothing but nice to me since. I don't see how you all do it."

"It's not the easiest thing but it is important to look further than ourselves. We must do what is best for others and tonight you did just that."

"I did?"

"Selina, tonight has been absolutely wonderful. I can't believe that you did all of this for me. Thank you for the amazing date." Bloom beamed.

"Bloom, I hope you know that I asked you on this date not just as a gesture of kindness but because I really like you and I have for some time now." Selina looked seriously at Bloom.

"I know." Bloom replied.

"You do?" Selina recoiled away in shock.

"Yes, and I wouldn't have agreed to come tonight if I didn't like you too."

"Wait, you like me?" Selina had to make sure that she was not dreaming.

"I do, Selina. I broke up with Sky because I had started to develop feelings for you and they had become too much to deny anymore. It wasn't fair to Sky or to me to be in a loveless relationship. I think that it is time for me to move forward and be with the person I want." Bloom sighed as she leaned into Selina.

"I-" Selina was cut off by Bloom's lips pressing onto hers.

Bloom's lips were soft, just like Selina had imagined them to be. Her breath was cool despite being the host of the Dragon Flame. Bloom leaned in closer and the kiss became more fervent and passionate.

Bloom's hands gripped Selina's smooth cheeks and Selina's mind started reeling. She would have never imagined that she would have been kissing Bloom much less be on a date with Bloom. It was all so surreal. Bloom pulled away and smiled at Selina.

"Thank you for a wonderful date, Selina."

"No, thank you."
