Sorry that is has been a few days, I was travelling this weekend and have been very tired. I moved to Europe from the US a few weeks ago and I don't think that the jetlag has really worn off. But I am back and will keep writing your stories if you keep sending them. Also, these are meant to be quick little one shots or maybe two chapter stories. Some of you are wanting full novels and then when I write what I can/want, I get messages telling me they wanted more. I go with what the prompt tells me and then the rest is up to me. Clarification messages for rewrites are good when I REALLY missed the mark. Like that was nothing you had in mind and I really messed up. But for now, let's get back to it.

Characters: Flora, Helia, Winx, and Specialist.

Genre: Humor and Hurt/Comfort

Sentence: What if Flora and Helia got into a big fight that left them not talking for weeks? Ever since the introduction of Crystal the gang has been leaving her out, which led to the fight and them not talking.

Submitter: Maddywinx4eva

Title

"-and then the Pixie Berries were-" Flora looked over to see Helia on his phone, "Helia, are you listening?"

"Huh? What?" Helia looked up from his phone, "Sorry, Flora. I was just responding to Krystal." Helia said as his phone buzzed again, his head returned down to look at the phone screen. Flora sighed and placed her hand on Helia's phone. "What are you doing?" Helia looked back up.

"Let me guess, Krystal again?" Flora spat as she folded her arms.

"Flora..." Helia was about to explain but was cut off by Flora standing up from her seated position on the couch next to Helia.

"We haven't seen each other in almost two weeks and the whole time you are talking to someone else, another girl for that matter. You know what? I didn't say anything when you introduced me as a friend despite feeling like crap when you said it. I try not to spam your inbox with messages about how you are doing and what you are doing when you don't show up with the other Specialists when they come to visit us. I didn't say anything when Krystal came up to you after her team beat us because I got distracted by YOU waving to Krystal and not ME." Flora's voice was raising by the sentence until she started yelling. "I cannot be in a one sided relationship! Do you know how this feels? No! Because you don't care!"

Yelling was then stifled by the tears that started falling from Flora's eyes, "Do you even love me anymore."

Helia sighed, "Flora..."

"Don't. I know. I've known for a while. Please don't talk to me again." Flora grabbed her pink jacket and headed toward the door, "Goodbye, Helia." Flora walked out and slammed the door behind her.

Helia groaned as he rubbed his hands over his face but he knew that everything would be fine in the future.

Hopefully.

Flora walked into her room and huffed. She turned around to see the rest of the Winx...and Krystal.

"Hi, Flora." Krystal smiled.

Flora wanted so badly to say something horrible to Krystal and to her friends but she couldn't bring herself to say anything. Just looking at Krystal, Flora could feel the tears well in her eyes as she looked at her friends laughing with Krystal and sitting together.

She would make the perfect replacement for her, wouldn't she?

Flora turned and walked towards her room and shut the door behind her before taking off her jacket. Flora walked over to place the jacket on the back of her desk chair but as she made it there, the tears started to fall and she hunched over.

Nobody cared about her. Helia could barely look at her and her friends had ignored her since they were introduced to Krystal. Flora questioned why anyone would want to be friends with her over Krystal. Krystal was a princess and Flora was just a commoner. Krystal could heal humans and all Flora could heal were plants. Krystal was beautiful and Flora was well, Flora. No wonder Helia kept ignoring her.

Flora walked over to her bed and curled up, trying to block out the laughing and chattering from outside of her door. Flora cried and cried. If nobody wanted her there, she wouldn't be there.

Flora woke up to see the sun rising out of her window. She sat up and walked to the balcony, looking at the horizon knowing that just beyond it was Red Fountain and Helia. She wondered what he was doing now. Probably tell Krystal good morning. Flora thought that maybe Helia would have sent her a message so she walked back to her bed where she looked at he phone on the nightstand.

0 Messages

Flora sighed as she looked at the blank screen. Nobody had texted her, nobody wondered how she was doing, nobody cared.

The Winx didn't care when she walked in without a word after having broken up with Helia. They didn't care when she spent all night in her room. Helia made it clear that he didn't care.

All they cared about was Krystal.

Flora had to get out of there. Maybe she would go home for a while, then her friends would forget all about her. Maybe she could transfer to Linphea College.

Flora went to her closet and grabbed a large green duffel bag and began to shove whatever she could in there, not caring what it was. She just needed to be fast. Flora packed clothes, books, toiletries, papers, anything that she could find. Once everything was packed up, Flora began to write a note but then tore it up, nobody would read it.

Flora opened the door of her's and Bloom's room before looking back and sighing, seeing Bloom sound asleep in her bed. Flora then turned around and walked out of her room, through the common room and out of the door into the hallway.

On her way to the portal to Magix City that was right outside of Alfea, Flora ran into Ms. Faragonda.

"My, Flora, you are up early." Ms. Faragonda craned her neck to see the green duffel bag around Flora's shoulders. "Where are you going?"

"Just home to visit my family for a while." Flora replied through a fake smile.

"Is everything alright?"

No. "Yes." Flora lied. She wanted to get out of there so she had to make something up. "Miele got her Winx a few weeks ago and my family is throwing a celebration. So I thought I would go home." It was true that Miele had gotten her Winx but Faragonda couldn't know the real reason that she was going home.

"Well give Miele my best and I will see you soon." Ms. Faragonda smiled. As Ms. Faragonda walked away, Flora never thought that she would be the closest person to a friend. She was the only one who listened.

Flora shook away the thoughts in her head and focused on her current mission, getting home.

Weeks had passed by and Flora had only heard once from the girls. It was a text from Aisha asking where she went and that they hadn't seen her in a while. Flora couldn't believe her eyes when she saw it, she was livid. One text in two weeks and they finally noticed that she was gone. Not even gone but just absent from them. Did they know she had gone home? Of course they didn't, they didn't care. But the person that she wanted so badly to come and get her couldn't even send her a message.

Helia.

It seemed like every hour, Flora would check her phone in the hopes that she would see Helia's name, but it never came. She would read through their old messages.

Hey, Helia. Are you busy?

No.

Can I come over? It has been a while since I have seen you.

Sure.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Okay then I'm coming over in five minutes :)

Cool.

Where will you be?

My room.

Great! See you there!

She should have known that it was not going to end well. There was no emotion or passion. But he certainly enjoyed messaging and talking to Krystal. In fact, they all did.

Flora's thoughts were interrupted when there was a soft knock on her door.

"Yes?" Flora asked.

The door slowly opened and her mother stood at it's entrance.

"Flora, dear. There is some people here to see you."

Flora turned to face her mother. "Who could possibly want to see me?" Flora sighed, "Just tell them that I don't want to talk right now."

Flora's mother moved into Flora's room, "Come on, Flora. Just say hello. They really want to talk to you."

Flora huffed as she got up from her chair, she could tell that there was no way that her mother was going to leave until she went to the living room to see who was waiting for her. It was probably Faragonda asking when she would be back or maybe Flora's mother was just saying someone was here for her but they were really here for Miele just to give Flora a reason to leave her room.

Flora walked down the hall where she could hear a myriad of voices coming from her living room. Flora felt her footsteps become faster and faster but she forced herself to slow down, there was no way that anybody was actually here for her. But she still was interested.

As she rounded the corner and walked into the room, her heart momentarily stopped. Inside of her living room were the faces of the Winx, Krystal, and the Specialists. Well, all but one.

Flora gathered herself and calmy asked, "What are you doing here?"

Bloom was the first to speak, "We came to see you and see how you were doing."

"How I am doing?"

"Well, yeah. We really missed you. What happened?" Musa chimed in.

Flora could feel her head start to heat, she was getting mad.

"Miss me?" Flora spat. "MISS ME?" The Winx, Krystal, and Specialists looked at Flora with concern.

"I have been gone for nearly a month and all I get is one text from Aisha asking me how I was! She wanted to know where I had been! And that was two weeks after I left! Faragonda knew! Our professors knew!" Flora then turned her attention to Krystal, "I guess I am replaceable, aren't I?"

Flora walked out of the room and back to her bedroom where she slammed the door. All she wanted for them to go away, she was finally beginning to get over them. Soon there was a knock on her door.

"Just go away!" Flora shouted but the knocking persisted.

"Flora," Krystal, "it's me. Can I please talk to you?" Flora gave no response. "I know that I am probably the last person that you want to talk to but I want to apologize."

No, Krystal had nothing to apologize for. She wasn't the one who left her in the mud. Flora stood up and walked to her bedroom door before opening it to find Krystal.

"You don't have to apologize for anything." Flora flatly said before motioning to shut the door.

However, Krystal stopped it with her foot.

"Flora, please. I know that it is all my fault that everyone is ignoring you. I have become too clingy and I was just trying to make friends." Krystal explained.

"Krystal," Flora gave a small smile, "you did nothing wrong. I understand. What I don't understand is how my friends could forget about me. How Helia could..." Flora didn't want to finish the sentence, she didn't want to think about Helia.

"About Helia," Krystal began but was then cut off by Flora.

"I don't want to hear his name ever again."

"I respect that." Krystal replied. "I know that we may not be the best of friends but I was wondering if we could meet in the gardens of the palace tonight? It will be just the two of us. I want us to be friends."

Flora wanted to say no but there was no reason that she shouldn't say yes. Krystal was being nice to her and Flora could use the new friend.

"Sure."

"Great! Meet me in the gardens at 9. I will see you there."

"Sounds like a plan. Please get the others out of my house." Flora curtly said before returning to her desk.

Krystal simply nodded and left Flora's bedroom, and with the others, left her house.

It was 8:30 and Flora was getting ready to meet up with Krystal. Flora was happy to finally have someone to talk to that was her age. Well, one that didn't forget about her.

Flora grabbed her jacket and walked out of her room and out of her house. Flora caught a leaf to the castle. Flora felt the wind on her face and it had reminded her of the adrenaline that she had when flying to missions. The same rush as when she rode on Helia's hoverbike. Flora shook her head, trying to get all thoughts of Helia and her friends out of her head. It was time, no pun intended, to turn over a new leaf.

Flora reached the gates of the palace where she was met with a large guard.

"State your name and business."

"Flora and I am here to meet with Princess Krystal."

The guard looked down at a small clipboard and thumbed through the pages.

"Ah yes, Princess Krystal will meet with you shortly. Enjoy your stay."

The gates opened and Flora quickly walked past the guard, happy to have had that formality over with.

Flora walked past the entrance to the grand castle and towards the back where there was not a soul in sight.

Perfect.

Flora made her way through the large hedge labirynth where she found a small bench in the middle with none other that the blue haired Specialist.

"Flora..."

"What are you doing here?" Flora asked through gritted teeth. Helia stood up and made his way to Flora, but Flora quickly retreated. "Don't come near me!"

"Flora..."

"I don't want any of your excuses! I was supposed to meet Krystal here! Is this some sick scenario where she pops out of the bushes and you two announce that you are now dating? I just can't believe this." Flora yelled as she glared at Helia.

"NO!" Helia bellowed, "Krystal and I are not...I would never do that to you. Flora I love you."

Flora was at her wits end.

"Love me? I left you, left Alfea, left EVERYONE for three weeks and you didn't call, text, send a letter. You did nothing! You ignored me like everyone else! I may not be a princess but I am a person with feelings and I am done letting you play with them! I am done with you!"

Helia's face dropped and he knew that it was time to explain.

"Flora, I didn't mean to ignore you as much as I did. These past few months have been...difficult. Do you want to know why Krystal automatically showed up at Alfea? Why I have been so distracted? My father was imprisoned for conspiracy and Krystal came as a friend and as the princess to tell me. She was sent to look after me! To make sure that I was safe! She has been sending me updates about my father and helping me with my mother who is an absolute wreck right now." Helia explained as he looked down at Flora with intensity in his eyes.

"When you were gone from Alfea, I was sent on a mission and this morning I came with the others to apologize but I was needed in court. Krystal knew the only way that you would talk to me was if she invited you here under the pretense of it being just the two of you. I knew how mad you were...are...at me. I want to make it up to you."

As much as Flora wanted to hate him, she knew that he was telling the truth.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Flora whispered as she came closer to Helia.

"I couldn't. Not before the trial." Helia answered. "I was also ashamed. I am the son of a traitor."

"You are your father's son but you are not your father." Flora said.

"Please, I will do anything to make this up to you." Helia gently grabbed Flora's hand.

"Just promise me that you will be open with me."

"Deal."

"And you have a lot of time to make for. You will take me out this Friday." Flora instructed.

"What time?"

"8pm. Sharp. At the gates of Alfea."

"Until when?"

Flora winked, "Saturday morning."

I kind of want to continue this one and go into the trial and how Helia handles that but for now I will leave it how it is because I have a lot more stories to write.
