Hi everyone! Hope you enjoy! This also on ao3 too. If you would like to send feedback either review or talk to me on tumblr :)
"Bloom," a voice called to her. She looked around, it appeared she was under water, it was beautiful.
"Bloom," the voice called to her again, it was strong yet so feminine, it continued though, "You must come to me, now."
"Huh," she (Bloom) said, "Where are you? Who are you?"
"Bloom."
She walked to the voice, or where it seemed to be coming from, it got stronger and stronger, until she took a final turn. She was beautiful, ethereal even. She was glowing gold perhaps, she was so glittery. Bloom had to wonder how she was able to look at her for so long without looking away, it was almost as though she was looking to the sun itself, but no the glowing woman was so much more beautiful, radiating power itself, the sun could only aspire to do that.
The woman opened her mouth to speak yet again, her strong voice echoing even underwater, "Bloom, you must -"
"Bloom, Bloom, you must wake up, you're going to be late!" Vanessa said, hiding a smirk as her daughter's eyes opened suddenly in a panic.
"Mom! Why didn't you tell me?" Mysterious dream forgotten, Bloom was pacing back and forth changing from her pajamas to her everyday clothes, "I can't be late! Not again!"
Vanessa stood there, leaning against the wall just by the side of her daughter's bed waiting for the reality of summer break to dawn on Bloom, she thought to speed the realization up by gently coughing. She saw it dawn on Bloom's face, eyebrows furrowing ever so slightly.
"Mom! It's summer break, why would you do that to me?"
Bloom rolled her eyes at her mom's chuckles, but grinned at Vanessa's following sentence, "Sorry, my sweet, go join your dad for breakfast before he leaves for work, I heard pancakes were up for breakfast."
"All is forgiven don't you worry, mom!" Bloom said, elated, before rushing downstairs so neither her dad or her rabbit, Kiko, could steal her pancakes or her toppings.
Breakfast was eaten in peace and was delicious, with Kiko even allowed some of their fruit toppings (Mike and Bloom had taken favor with the syrup).
"Bloom, me and your mom have actually gotten you a surprise, so you can get around easier," Mike, her dad, said.
Bloom couldn't believe her ears, surely they wouldn't have, she voiced her surprise to them as well, "You didn't, did you?"
"See for yourself, sunshine."
"Oh! Mom, Dad you shouldn't have," she rushed out the front day expecting to see a scooter, only to see a bike a similar shade of red to her hair, "You really shouldn't have."
"See, Nessa, I told you she'd love it, she's speechless!"
"Me and Kiko, are just going to have a ride round to the park alright, we'll be back later," she said, visibly deflated from her excitement previously displayed on her face and body. The bunny, previously mentioned, hopped into the bicycle's basket, waiting to be driven around by Bloom.
As she drove off, she heard briefly her mom bring up her desire for the scooter she had previously envisioned, and she couldn't help but feel guilty for her ungratefulness. She continued to ponder, until a whiny voice said, "Hey Bloom, I like your bike, obviously not as good as my brand new scooter."
"Oh, wow, what's the model Mitzi?" sarcasm and disinterest evident in her tone, but Mitzi was too busy stuttering out an answer, as she was unsure on the model, Bloom didn't know the model either but no one else needed to know that as it got Mitzi to shut up and opened an escape from the conversation, that Bloom obviously took.
Continuing with her pedaling, Bloom and Kiko arrived at the park not long after their wonderful interaction with Mitzi. Bloom settled herself and her bike down under a tree while Kiko hopped around, burning plenty of his energy off in the process. Bloom, thought about how she treated her adoptive parents, she hadn't meant to be such a bitch about the bike, but she'd built her hopes up and well, she didn't know. Now, she was alone with her thoughts. She couldn't help but feel as though she'd dreamt something or experienced something important last night, unless she was just going crazy (she really hoped that wasn't the case).
These thoughts were soon interrupted, by a scrambled Kiko, squeaking in panic, the rabbit was pointing into the thick of the woods of Gardenia's Park. Bloom was confused, but she didn't say anything, simply following him to where he was headed.
What she saw surprised her to say the least.
"Take that you slimy ass!" Stella, Crown Princess of Solaria, shouted, firing a sun beam still in her royal attire as she was to be arriving at Alfea soon enough (if she was lucky).
Said 'slimy ass' didn't take that description too well, his booming voice shouted back to her, "Give me the scepter, Princess."
Stella grimaced at the shouting, saliva escaping his mouth and almost reaching her clothes. "This is the thanks I get for attending early! Hey! Stop that! You'll get my clothes soaked!" She shouted to the ogre who was running and panting in attempts to get nearer to her, she thought to herself that she wasn't going to go through any trouble if he was getting tired without her transforming yet.
"Scepter!" He grunted taking a final swipe towards her, aiming for the hand as it was currently under the disguise of a ring.
"Never, asshole!" She shouted back, before calling upon her powers and scepter to transform by shouting, "Solaria!"
A bright light engulfed her, the ring transformed to a long scepter and the tall princess's outfit went from a bright sparkly orange dress that left her midriff exposed to a one-shouldered orange crop top that was somehow even more glittery than her dress and matching shorts (tiny shorts even), even her shoes had changed from bright orange sandals sparkling like the rest of her attire to knee high heeled boots. Even her hair had changed, maintaining its incredible length but being styled to two incredibly long pigtails. To complete her attire she now had a light blue headband behind her fringe and wrist cuffs that went up to her forearm. Wings also appeared on her back, they were a transparent blue shade and were shaped as three leaflets, with three mini leaflets a lighter shade of blue inside.
Scepter in hand she sent out a sun beam much stronger than her previous one, that sent the ogre flying backwards. The ogre stood up without much of a wobble and grumbled, he muttered something finishing off with a definitive clap, and Stella now understood why most people tended to hurl after she'd teleported them someplace, it was not fun to be the passenger in this situation.
She looked around, she felt different to how she normally felt. Less powerful, more subdued, she was worried, would her energy drain quicker, and where exactly was she? Questions had to be left unanswered for now, as the ogre summoned or maybe conjured ghouls, they were tiny, but Stella had no doubt they packed a punch.
Bloom saw what she thought was a fairy and an ogre, was this what Kiko was trying to signal to her. "Kiko, please tell me we're not both seeing things right?"
The blue rabbit jumped up and down nodding his head.
"Rising Sun," the fairy called, the staff she was holding forming a blinding ball and aiming it towards the ogre and the accompanying tiny black things.
"Holy shit! Kiko hide!" She shouted, pulling her terrified bunny close.
Bloom took another peak, staring in awe at the fairy. She was tall (even without those heels, she guessed), and was so undeniably beautiful, anybody could see it. She had plump lips that seemed naturally rosey, and her nose was long and had a soft round to it at the end of it, and her eyes were golden, amber sometimes covered by her fringe. The rest of her hair was incredibly long in pigtails, that reached the backs of her knees, but was currently blowing backwards.
The fairy shouted, "Solar Wind!" Slamming her scepter into the ground, releasing a bright yellow energy, which caused Bloom to stop staring and cover her eyes.
While the little red eyed things were blown back by the blast, the ogre whose skin was yellow tinted and wore purple dungarees, marched forward pushing the fairy back and grabbing the scepter. The fairy deflated, and seemed to flicker, still wearing orange but momentarily losing her transparent wings, before they reappeared. Bloom panicked, worried for this stranger who was now collapsed onto the floor, defenseless, while the strange mini creatures rushed towards her and the ogre slowly stalked his way towards the fairy.
"Hey, stop, leave her alone or I'll… Wait, what will I do? Why did I shout?" Bloom panicked, scrambling for anything to fight with, surely with so many trees there would be decent sticks, so why weren't they, she thought in her state of panic.
"Ghouls, go get her," the ogre ordered.
"No, no, no, no!" She said, backing herself up into a tree, before she finally shouted in a final effort to be rid of them, "Stay back!" And something happened surprisingly, a burst of energy was released from deep within her, a fire it had escaped, "What?"
"Wow, sweetie, you sure are powerful! Now let me offer some assistance with my scepter back," the fairy said, offering a reassuring smile.
But before she could send an attack towards them the ghouls had all begun to scramble, one straight towards Bloom ripping her jeans and even biting her leg in the process.
"Hey!"
While that had hurt, Bloom couldn't help but notice she still seemed to be in a lot better shape than her new friend(?), the flicker happened again. This time her wings seemed to have gone permanently and her scepter had disappeared and a ring had replaced it of similar design. She still had the same colors on, but was dressed more covered than previously, but her stomach was still exposed. The dress was still of another world, no one in Gardenia would wear such a thing, but Bloom guessed this fairy was not of this world. Her glittery boots were traded for sandals instead. Her face was less tense and concentrated, her features relaxed, and she muttered a few words, all unintelligible to Bloom.
The ogre and his ghouls had arrived somewhere contrasting to the sunny, park of Earth. "My Mistresses," he shouted, to the gloomy abyss, made up of purple background, muddy floors and shadowed entities.
"What is it Knut?" A bored tone asked, "Did you get the scepter?"
"No, Mistress," He chuckled nervously.
A pause followed, before an explosive voice asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's not my fault, highnesses? This-this-this earth girl, she stopped me, you see I had it right in my hands but then, well then she blasted and I lost it again."
A third voice, this one sly, but calming in a way, asked, "A powered earthling, really Knut? We knew you were stupid but we thought even you would know that Earth does not have magical beings any longer."
"Humor us, what did she look like?" The first voice asked, more emotion bleeding through it but still remaining somewhat cold.
"She wore a lot of blue! And she had orange or red hair?" Knut stammered out, struggling to recollect his memories even if it occurred only a few minutes ago.
"How will that help us, you probably described a million people you idiot?" The angry one shouted.
"Not to worry, look what I have?" Knut started, holding up the part of clothing that was ripped from the girl beforehand, "Useless to us but useful to a hunting troll, majesties!"
The three voices muttered together, most likely conferring as to what to do.
The calm voice spoke again, "Last chance, Knut, do not disappoint."
And before he could respond Knut, realized that his mistresses had left. Just as he did soon after, in hopes to find a hunting troll.
"Fucking hell, this would be much easier with a scooter," Bloom grunted, as she struggled to hoist the fairy onto her bicycle, as said fairy kept sleep talking about the sky.
After what felt like hours of struggling to maneuver the fairy onto the bike, Bloom began to wheel the glittering person to her home.
It took around 20 minutes, but Bloom rejoiced to see her house come into view, her ankle was beginning to hurt and she hoped it wouldn't become infected, she also hoped the girl would be alright. Bloom realized that the girl was most likely her age, maybe a bit older, she also hoped that she'd explain what the fuck had happened, because Bloom was beginning to question her sanity.
She knocked on the door, hoping her mom (more understanding than her dad) would be the one to answer, thank her lucky stars it was and she had been met with a concerned luck, before she helped Bloom hoist the tall girl to the couch.
"Bloom, what happened? Are you okay?" Vanessa asked with concern, lacing her words, as she looked at the girl and Bloom's ankle and torn jeans.
"Yeah, but maybe both you and dad are going to want to hear this?"
A family meeting occurred in the kitchen, Bloom began explaining what happened, beginning with the fight and then the spark of her very own powers bursting from her, to then coming back here.
"Okay, I'm ringing the doctor's Bloom, what are you on about?" Mike said, walking over to the house phone, until he was interrupted, by the sweet voice of who they could assume was the girl.
"Hello!" The girl started, looking around before looking at Bloom and shouting, "Oh it's you, thank the dragon, I never got to thank you did I darling?" At this point she was sat up, legs still lying straight across the couch.
"Hi, are you alright, now?" Bloom asked, worried.
"Oh, thank you darling, but I just needed to recharge, I'm Stella, and you are?" She asked, taking charge of the conversation.
"Bloom."
"Oh, what a lovely name! Now, please tell me you are attending Alfea?" Stella asked, or demanded, it was hard to tell.
"Alfea?" Bloom replied, in confusion.
"School/College for fairies? You're sure powerful enough to attend," she encouraged, smiling.
"Okay, she's insane," Mike stated, marching towards the phone again.
Rolling her eyes, Stella pointed at the phone, glitter escaping her hands before said phone turned into cabbage and a carrot. Mike gawked at her and the phone looking back and forth between the two.
Vanessa rolled her eyes, herself displaying feelings of confusion, shock but almost acceptance as she pulled Mike away to have a chat.
Stella seemed to be about to say something, but before she could Vanessa peeped around and said, "Do you want me to call your parents?"
Stella laughed, almost uncontrollably, soon enough she'd calmed herself down enough to say, "That'll be difficult, you see I'm from a place called Solaria, in fact I'm the crown princess of it."
"Insane, see," Mike interrupted, matter of faculty.
Vanessa rolled her eyes, before joining her husband in the kitchen.
"Princess? Would you like to er, join me upstairs to my room?" Bloom asked, unsure of how to address the fairy, who was now also a fairy princess.
"Sweetie, it's just Stella to my friends," Stella laughed, "But sure, I'd love to see your room, thank you." She finished, with an almost mocking curtsey, in the hopes to assure Bloom, of there being no need to refer to her or act any differently towards her.
It had an almost immediate effect on the girl, a giggle escaped her, before Bloom then showed Stella the way to her room. They walked up the stairs, both unaware of how much Stella was now relying on the banister to support her walking.
"So, here it is, my room," Bloom said, as she opened the door for her and Stella.
Stella was silent and took it all in, the blue walls that were patchy for some reason, the faintest patches of yellow peeking through the deep blue of the walls. She walked towards the wooden desk, there were drawings all over of beautiful forests, multiple versions of them (both coloured and not), fairies too (enchantix fairies, but how would she know of them she was from earth) and then finally pictures that seemed to be the most crinkled of this mask, it was sometimes orange, sometimes yellow and sometimes gold. It was weird that she'd focused so much on this mask that wasn't featured on any of her other drawings. Why did it look familiar to her?
Stella was about to ask, before Bloom then said, "Don't focus on them, I just get this urge to draw it sometimes I don't know why," picking up said sheets of the mask before chucking it in an already overfilled bin.
"They looked good," Stella said, smiling encouragingly, "Although, maybe it's best we discuss what you want to do with your powers."
Bloom laughed.
"I'm not joking, Bloom, you're a fairy, and a powerful one too! What do you want to do?"
"I'm sure it was just a flare up or something that just happened like once," Bloom said, looking saddened by the fact.
Stella smiled, looking encouraging again, but in a more serious way, "Power like that isn't just a one time thing, tell you what, how about I show you where I'm headed, because a spot has recently become available."
"What do you mean show me? Aren't you still tired?" Bloom asked.
"This requires no magic from me, well maybe a little, as long as this still works," Stella said, as she summoned what Bloom recognised to be a postcard.
"Erm, what?"
Bloom stared in confusion, as Stella then laid the postcard on Bloom's carpet.
"Ta da! Our way in!"
"Maybe you are insane," Bloom said slowly. That thought wasn't completely put away, but was pushed down slightly, as she saw the post card enlarging to the size of her desk. "Okay, maybe not insane, but how is this going to show me where we're going?"
"We're going to Alfea School or College for fairies," Stella smiled sweetly, before she then stepped into the postcard, slowly sinking in as though she was in quicksand.
Bloom sighed, before then stepping into the postcard alongside her new friend. She was stunned into silence. It was beautiful, perhaps a bit too pink, but it was so elegant, like she'd expect a fairy school to be, with windows all around the building and the ceilings a dark blue. There was even a forest outside the pink walls, she couldn't help but wonder whether it was enchanted, she couldn't help but hope it was too.
"Wow, it's beautiful. And, and I could come here?" Bloom questioned, not wanting to build hopes too high for herself.
"You could. One of my friends dropped out, Veranda of Callisto, you could steal her place," Stella said.
Before Bloom could think of the implications of what Stella had said, Bloom exclaimed, "Oh I'd love to! I'll have to ask my parents of course, but please if they'd have me I'd love to come."
"They would! Except for this one bitch of a teacher, Griselda, she hates me," Stella said walking to Bloom, as well as taking in Bloom's awe and wonder.
"Wait! She knows you, that means you're in your second year! You're not going to leave me alone are you?" Bloom asked, panicked.
"No of course not, I have to repeat this year," Stella said, embarrassment leaking through her words.
"Oh? Why are you?"
"Oh you know, just wasn't good enough last year," Stella laughed, "Now anyways, we should return, you need to convince your parents."
"Oh, right, the hard part, but how do we, how do we do that?" Bloom asked.
"Jump up."
"I just don't like it, how can we be sure she's telling the truth?" Mike said.
"Oh I don't know, Mike, maybe the glitter that turned the phone into vegetables?"
"Vanessa, don't be like that, it's just weird, you've got to understand r-." Mike was interrupted by something next door, or outside. Whatever and wherever it was there were loud thuds coming from somewhere. Kiko had noticed too, and the bunny had run out of the kitchen in disarray. "Kiko. Calm down."
Kiko didn't calm down, and started waving his arms around frantically.
"KIKO!"
"Dad. How many times do I have to tell you not to shout at Kiko like that?" Bloom asked sternly, as she and Stella emerged from upstairs.
"Then you deal with him, when he's like this?"
"Oh for all that is sacred! Not again!" Stella exclaimed, looking drained and worried.
"What? Oh great now there's two of them," Bloom replied, looking where Stella was.
A stench came from the kitchen, two massive creatures were the source of this smell. One the ogre from before, the other a slightly taller blue thing (a troll? Bloom wondered), that had long greasy black hair.
"Bloom, keep them occupied, I need to make a call," Stella said, pulling a small phone out of a hidden pocket in her dress.
Just as Bloom was about to deny, and ask how, she heard, "Hey Honey, I need a favour," in Stella's voice, but said in a much more sultry way.
She didn't get to hear much more of the conversation, because she then had to focus on the ghouls that were now summoned, running towards her ready to attack. She struggled to attack, she could feel the heat on the edge of her fingers, but nothing came out.
"Fight back fairy," The blue troll said, shortly, snuffling as he did.
"Where's your friend, fairy?" The ogre from before asked.
"I'm right here," She said, smug and much more calm than before, her eyes narrowed, "Now let's settle this. SOLARIA."
A blinding flash of light covered her, everyone was left to look away, but when they looked back her fairy form from earlier was now on her body.
"Stella, what can we do? We're outnumbered!"
"We need to split them up, first."
Bloom looked around her home, that was now incredibly destroyed, she breathed, "Alright. I have a plan. I'll take the ghouls outside. And deal with them."
"Good luck," Stella shouted after her, wings taking her upwards before kicking the troll in the nose.
The ogre grumbled, "You idiot! You just got beat by a stupid fairy."
"Yes well, I'm not just a regular stupid fairy," She giggled. Her joy was briefly cut short when she had to dodge an attack, she groaned and cast out a spell, "Solar Blast!"
Outside Bloom was struggling against the ghouls, before Stella shouted something about the sun and the ogre came flying out through the wall landing on the group of ghouls.
"I'm glad someone knows what they're doing." Bloom stated, hoping she could become as attuned to her powers as Stella if she went to Alfea.
Not long after, Stella came flying through the window, glass spraying everywhere. She fell to the grass, long limbs sprawled on the ground Stella letting out occasional groans of anguish.
"STELLA!" She yelled out, rushing towards her friend.
"I'm fine! Don't worry about me, but please help me up," Stella reassured.
"What are we gonna do now?" Bloom wondered, she couldn't let her family home be destroyed, but she couldn't do much else.
"We, my friend, do not need to do anything now," Stella said, almost using Bloom as a crutch to stand up.
"What do you mean?"
The blue troll got closer and closer, each step looking more menacing than the last, until its red eyes widened comically as a black rope-like thing wrapped itself around its neck.
"Hey, Princess, I hope your new friend is the pretty redhead, rather than the ugly, blue one at the end of my leash," a deep voice said.
A chorus of agreements came after this.
Bloom looked behind the troll, and saw four tall guys around her age in matching uniforms. Each of them compared to the boys in Gardenia, seemed so grand and larger than life.
The one holding the leash was the most otherworldly, with dark purple hair that was spiked up and violet eyes that wore a stern glare that matched the rest of his features in a scowl. He was tall, but not the tallest, and he looked incredibly strong, though in a very lean way. He continued to hold onto the leash with a firm, but shaky grip that was broken by the troll who had picked the leash up and swung him, causing him to land near the two fairies.
The next one to speak was a blond, he was taller than the purple haired one, and looked to have a more bulky build, but somehow he was still not the tallest. "Timmy, get behind me," He said, propping his shield up, it was blue and transparent, that matched his sword, they both glowed. The troll started banging on the shield, and while his grip wavered, he still had yet to let go. His long hair also blew around, due to the impact the troll had on him. He spoke again and Bloom couldn't help but think he had a lovely voice, "Sky! Would you mind doing something!"
The guy, Bloom guessed was Sky, seemed rather disinterested, he was leaning on a bright green broadsword, that was a height Bloom could only wish to reach. She couldn't help but feel intimidated by him, even when he was slouching, he was by far the tallest guy there, and that was saying something. So when he stood at his full height she couldn't help but step back and gawke, he truly was massive, in both height and stature. He had short brown hair, all apart from his drastic side fringe that went over to the right side of his face, she couldn't help but think about how it would probably look stupid on anyone else. Only then did he seem to register his friend's cry for help, "Huh, oh right." He jumped up swinging his sword by slamming it to the ground, causing the ground to split open deeply, resulting in the troll stumbling.
"My turn!" A fourth guy shouted. He was the shortest but still tall, perhaps a bit taller than Stella. He was definitely also the skinniest, but she didn't have any doubts that he could also fight. He was ginger, and wore red rimmed glasses, Bloom couldn't help but think he looked cute in an awkward way. His weapon was the oddest. It was a blaster (rather than the close distance weapons the rest of them had) and when he shot it, the yellow blasts hovered, as if they were delayed, before they shot towards the intended area. The intended area was the troll's legs and as they hit him, the troll groaned and stumbled, landing into the mini ravine the brunette had created. "Bullseye."
"Yeah, good job, but it's not over yet," The blond said, patting his friend on the back, while looking at the ghouls and the ogre now standing up.
"Ugh, get off you pests!" The purple haired one said, drawing and igniting his purple sabre, before throwing one of them across the garden and stabbing the over.
"Come on, Bloom, let's offer some assistance," Stella said, gathering Bloom's attention.
"What are we doing?"
"Simple convergence! We grab hands, and point towards where we want to aim," Stella said, grabbing her hand and demonstrating. Bloom felt the blast leave their joined hands and saw the last of the orange and yellow magic intertwining to blast the back of the ogre.
"I really am a fairy then?" Bloom asked wondrous, and eyes glowing.
"Of course, I'm never wrong."
The ogre had fallen over and grunted, as he got up he looked around and saw he was now surrounded. The two fairies to the back of him, the purple one to the side wiping some blood off his cheek and hardening his gaze, the blond one drawing his sword and holding his shield to the other side, the ginger one poised and ready to shoot and finally the biggest one of the group, who's stance was relaxed but his face was hardened and almost bordering on angry.
Deciding against fighting, he gathered his ghouls and clapped disorderly. He disappeared before their eyes.
Brushing her hands Stella announced, "Well, I'm glad that's over, Bloom come meet the guys: our heroes in training!"
She walked over, and came to Stella, "Alright."
"Riven," Stella gestured to the purple haired guy, he said nothing in return, "Prince Sky."
"Hey," The tall brunette said, "And hello to you too, princess," he winked.
"Hiya," Stella giggled, before continuing to walk to the rest of the guys, "Timmy," The ginger one, who waved with a smile. "And finally Brandon, he's Prince Sky's Squire."
"Hello," He said to Bloom. She couldn't help but blush.
The troll tried to escape, but was interrupted by Timmy putting something that was blue and yellow around its neck, "Where do you think you're going?"
It then raised the troll, and caused yellow rings to circulate the troll, Bloom assumed it was some sort of imprisonment tool.
"We should head off now, bring it to Red Fountain, they'll decide what to do with it," Brandon said, holding up a device that looked like a more complicated television remote and pushing a button on it.
A blue portal formed, a mix of dark and light blues swirling. The four of them started walking towards the portal, the troll following them.
Sky walked to Stella, dropping into a bow, and picking her hand up, and gently kissing it, before saying, "I hope to hear from you soon, my princess."
"Of course, honey," Stella replied, talking sweetly.
"Try to stick around the full year too?"
Stella grimaced, and withdrew her hand, "I'll try."
Not noticing her change in demeanor, Sky caressed her cheek and said, "Good."
They stayed like that for a second, before he began to walk over towards the rest of the squad, "See you around, Bloom!"
Riven remained silent.
Timmy waved and said, "See you Stella! And I guess I'll see you too, Bloom!"
Brandon's goodbye was much more rushed as the swirling began to engulf the group, but Bloom hoped her hearing was correct when she heard, "I sure hope to see you at Alfea, Bloom!"
And then they were gone.
Bloom had packed her suitcase, as much as she could. So much so that the red bag was almost bursting, she did struggle to lift it downstairs, but she hoped it would be worth it.
She heard Stella say, "You know, this would be a lot easier if you let me fix this place with a bit of my magic like I did outside."
"Thanks, but I prefer this way," Her dad responded, immediately.
"Bloom's ready," Her mom cut in gloomily.
"You sure about this, sweetie?" Her dad asked, blue eyes looking concerned.
"Yes, I'm going to Magix, and I will learn how to use my powers," She replied, hoping she sounded as determined as she felt, she wanted this, she needed.
Her dad understood this, but began rambling, all of his concerns being put out in the open, "I can't believe we agreed to this, what if you get sick? What if you're not safe? What if those monsters come back? What if-"
"Dad, I'll be careful, I promise."
"We love you dear, very much, and know we'll miss you, but please come home whenever you can, and don't forget to call whenever you can."
"Mom, dad! I'll miss you both so much," Bloom said, jumping to wrap her arms around the both of them.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, Did you really think we'd let you go just like that, at least let us see the place?"
Her dad asked.
"Stella, is this possible?"
"Eh, rules are made to be broken, everyone ready?"
"Yes," Mike said, grabbing his coat.
"Alright then, too magix we go!" Stella shouted, holding the scepter up.
They all fell through a wormhole, it was mainly a dark pink, but when they reached solid ground, the castle came into view.
"It really does exist," Mike said in awe.
"Yes of course, now come on! School will be open soon!"
As a group they started traveling through the forest, walking closer and closer to the school, which came clearer and clearer as they walked. Until Mike and Vanessa were stopped.
"We can't get through, sweetheart," Vanessa said, to Bloom.
"I can't feel anything, are you two pulling my leg?" Bloom asked, as she and Kiko passed through.
"No, we're stuck, like there's an invisible wall," Mike exclaimed.
"Stella? Did you do this?" Bloom asked.
"No," Stella replied, gathering energy to produce a magic ball she put it against said 'invisible wall', "It's a magical barrier, it prevents non magical beings from passing through, I'm sorry, but you can't go any further."
"Well, Bloom it looks wonderful, and I'm sure, and I hope that you will have fun here, and it's nothing that we've ever seen before," Vanessa said, trying to hide her tears.
"Mom! Dad!"
"Remember, sweetie, we love you and we'll always be here for you, don't forget that alright!" Her mom said.
"Do your best alright, Bloom, we love you," Her dad added on.
"I love you guys!" Bloom said, clinging onto them.
They said their final goodbyes and Stella offered to send them off. Using her ring to send them through a wormhole to Earth, they faded away just like that.
"So, ready to take the plunge, no turning back now," Stella said, offering an encouraging smile.
"Yes, I'm going to be a fairy," Bloom said, giving back a tentative smile.
"Thank the dragon, I need to change my clothes," She said, running to the castle.
Bloom laughed, there was no turning back, so she joined Stella in running to the castle, Kiko joining them both.
She hoped it was going to be a good year.
