Our Fates

Episode 2. Part 8.

"Oak, Musa! Wait up." The two girls were walking in the hall the next morning and they couldn't really sleep after everything that they talked about yesterday. Aisha jogged up towards them and started walking next to Musa.

"Have either of you seen Bloom or Stella today?" She asked and the two girls shook their heads no.
"I saw Stella last night just after we all went to bed. I couldn't really sleep so I made sure that she was okay. Why?" Oakley asked and looked towards her friend.

"I was putting my stuff away and saw Blooms notebook. It had a bunch of scribbles on it about how bad emotions are stronger than good ones and if Stella was right about her powers. I think they went back out last night." Aisha was upset.

She didn't know if she was sad that Bloom didn't want to come to the other girls for help or whether she was mad that Stella was teaching Bloom the wrong way to use her powers. 
"So how late were they out there?" Musa asked.

"I was asleep before she left again so I'm guessing late. I don't like what Stella's teaching her." Aisha was definitely mad. Oakley saw as Musa's eyes turned purple and then back again before talking again.

"Jealous much?" She aske and looked at Aisha. 
"Why is a friendship with Bloom so important to you?" Musa asked again, this time waiting for an answer.

"Aren't roommates supposed to be friends?" Aisha had a desperate look on her face. She really needed this, as if it was one of the most important things to ever happen to her. 
"Yeah, not sure if either of us are one to comment on that." Oakley butted in and they all stopped walking.  

"Okay then, let's change the subject. How goes the hunt for Mr. Bad boy." She smirked towards Musa. 
"Oh yeah. How is Riven doing?" Oakley smiled at her friend, knowing perfectly well what was going on between the two. 

"It's so weird. It's like he lets me see a different side of him that he never let's anyone else see, but without even realizing I'm there." Musa started to smile while even talking about him. All of a sudden Oakley's eyes went purple. 

"Ooo Musa your in luck. Looks like Oakleys lover boy is here somewhere. Your off the hook." Aisha smiled towards her friend and then looked around trying to find him.
"So uhhh, where is Mr Sam?" She asked again after not being able to find the boy.

"He's here again, behind me." She smiled and Aisha's face dropped. Musa looked behind her and also saw nothing.
"Oak, there's nobody be-" Aisha's sentence got cut off as she watched Sam appear out of a wall and sit down. 

"Mystery solved, an earth fairy." Aisha was proud that Oakley was gaining control over her powers.
"It wasn't a mystery to me. I knew he was an earth fairy." Oakley mumbled and Musa shoved her shoulder causing all three of them to laugh. 

"Hey, Sam!" Musa yelled and looked towards the boy who was now walking towards them. Oakley internally slapped herself in the face for telling the two of them anything. 
"Uhhh, Wassup?" He just asked, confused.

"Well, I'm Aisha, this is Musa and this is Oakley. Who you already know." 
"I hat you, I really hate you. I hate your children, I hate your children's children." She cursed at Aisha who was just smirking at her friend. 

"Oakley's been stalking you." She took a deep breathe and turned around to face Sam who was just smiling at her. 
"Well, Lucky me. Hi Oak." He continued to smile.

"Bye Oak. We have to go help Riven with his training now." Aisha said and walked off, dragging Musa with her.  The two started walking around like what they do every time they talk to each other.

It was sort of a ritual thing to do now. Neither of the two protested or even actually said a word while heading away from the castle. Instead they just walked in complete silence, but they both enjoyed it. 

"So seeing as you love music and sounds and you know your an empath, what do I sound like to you?" Sam aske out of nowhere and the two started to walk slower so they weren't going as far. 
"I'm not sure, really. It's kind of a strange question if I'm going to be honest." She laughed at him and just looked at him.

"It's an Angelic choir isn't it?" He smiled and looked towards Oakley.
"It's not an angelic choir."  She just kept smiling at him while he kept trying to guess. 
"Cheesy song? slo-mo shampoo ad?" He looked away from her and Oakley was getting sick of guessing.

"I met you a few days ago. Why would I tell you?" She asked and he responded 'no idea'. 
"I mean, I'm so glad you did but, huge mistake." The two just kept looking at each other until he took another guess.

"Is it Enya? Do I sound like Enya?" This time, Sam had a huge grin on his face as if he knew that was the answer.
"I have no idea who that even is." It was nice for the two of them to talk and it not be about Terra or their powers. 

"Okay, well I'm gonna pretend like you didn't just say that." Sam kept walking but Oakley stopped and looked around trying to think of an answer.
"Sam, you sound like..... The absence of chaos." It was the best way she could put it. 

Nothing else really made sense in her head and that didn't either but Sam must have understood what she was trying to say because he smiled her her again.  She smirked and started walking again before looking away from him. 

"Y'know that could still be Enya!" He yelled and then caught up to the girl again.
"Can we please talk about our magic for a little while. I mean, mine can mean anything." She asked, and hoped he would say yes.

"As I said, it's boring. Although I'm not meant to do it at school, but it shaves like three minutes off my commute between classes."  He explained like it was the most boring thing in the world.
"A whole three minutes? Wow! What do you do with all that extra time in your life?" Oakley asked sarcastically and looked at Sam again. 

"Wander around and force emo-empaths slash icies (name for ice fairies. not great I know) to experience.... peace?" He guessed and she just looked at him before her phone started buzzing in her pocket. 

Sky messaged her and told her to meet Bloom and Stella at the barrier because Silva was meant to be transporting the burned one with help from the Solarian forces at that exact moment. 
"I'm so sorry, but I have to go. Sibling stuff." She felt bad about abandoning Sam on their walk.

"It's cool. You'll umm. Feel me later." He said and she smiled before getting another text telling her to hurry. With that, the two walked in opposite directions and Oakley had to drop her bag off behind a tree so she could run and meet them at the barrier in time.
