POV Selene
Bloom and I were now home in Gardenia because we were on vacation and helping Mom in the kitchen with cooking. Bloom and I were cutting vegetables and Mom asked, "How long do you have off?", "We're on vacation for a week," I say. "That's not long," "No, but better than nothing," Bloom says. "Home economics isn't your strongest subject with either of you," Mom says when she sees how we were cutting. She takes over from us and I say "we're not going to get anything" I say and Bloom nods in agreement. "You've grown up in the last few months," Mom says and puts her hand on our shoulders. "Do you think so?" Bloom asks. "Yes absolutely girls", "Mom, I think something is burning" I say when I smell a burning smell. "Wow what a disaster, a situation," Mom says when we see the oven catching fire. Mom we're going to put it out but Bloom stops her and she makes the smoke go away and I do that with the fire. "Watch out," Mom says. "We know what we're doing," I say. Mom sits in the chair and says, "Your cooking may not be the best but your powers are amazing." "You don't get cooking lessons at Alfea," Bloom says. "But it is a top school for fairies," I say.
Together with Bloom I ride through the city on our bikes. We stop and at that moment a fire truck comes right past us. Dad is behind the wheel ''hey dad'', ''hi darlings'' he says back to us. "Hi girls," his colleague says. "Hi" we say politely. "I'll see you at the table," he says. "Yes", "Do they still work", we say. We are now on a piece where we can walk better so we get off. ''Look, look, look who we have there'' we hear and see Mitzi. "Hey Mitzi," Bloom says. "We have today off," "from what?" she asks. "school" I say as if it makes the most sense "but we have to move on". Before we could continue, Mitzi jumped in front of our bikes and said, "Everyone in the class is wondering why you're gone," she says. ''we went to another school'', ''why'' she keeps on asking she never stops either ''was the old plaice too difficult for you? Where did your parents send you?" she asks, "to a sheltered workshop?" "Totally miss a school for special girls," I say. "I don't believe that," she says. "That's your problem, Mitzi," I say and I walk away with Bloom. "hey I'm not done with you yet" she calls after us.
Bloom and I cycle again and see what appeared to be an aura of the person. We get off and I ask "Do you see them too?" She nods. "I think we see the true nature of people through their aura," Bloom says. We arrive at Mom's flower shop and see a limo. The window goes down and we see the driver. We go in together and mom says "girls come here". We come to her and see two men. ''this is Mr. Bonner and Mr. Brown, they are my new business partners from tomorrow'', ''Hello'' we say kindly. "Partners?" Bloom asks. "Yes from tomorrow we are official partners," says the man who introduced Mom as Mr. Bonner. "Yes, your mother will co-own a chain of flower shops," she says. "Indeed, this is the biggest opportunity in her life," Browner says. Me and Bloom look at both men and see their aura. We both hear the auras talking about what we didn't know and that we fell for it. "I'll see you again tomorrow," Mom says and says goodbye to the men. "So, what do you think about your mom becoming a business partner?" "Uhm do these have to be on the shelf?" I ask and walk to the boxes to pick it up. "But um, there's no rush," "darlings, is there something bothering you," she asks. "How did you get those two guys?" Bloom asks. "They came in once. They had actually discovered the store. They are businessmen who work for a large company. Tell me what is it then?'', 'Mom we can see auras in people'' I say. "What does that mean, I don't understand what you mean," she says in confusion. "we can see who people really are," Bloom begins, "deep down," "so?" she says. "Well, those two men," I say. "Mr. Bonner and Browner," "they want to rip you off mom, don't trust them." "But they seemed like people who really know what they're doing," Mom says. "No, it's a trap. They are scammers," Bloom says. "Honey, how can I be sure?" she asks. "You have to believe in us and trust in our gifts," Bloom says. We hear a horn and the men drive off.
"Vanessa, I can't believe you've changed your mind," Bonner says the next morning. ''Just then you completely agreed with the proposal'', ''what has changed? We thought we had a deal," they ask Mom as me and Bloom stand at the side counter. "Nothing happened, I realize I'm happiest with things as they are now," Mom says. Me and Bloom look at each other happily. "Please sleep on it one more night," Browner says. "We'll come back tomorrow and talk about it again." "That wouldn't be necessary, I've made my decision and I want to keep my business as it is," Mom says. The men look angry "Sometimes bad things happen. Do you understand what I mean?" Bonner begins. "My decision is made," Mom says. "Go on then," they say. "but like I said" and he knocks over a plant "oops", "the amoon maximum" says mom. "How clumsy of me," he says. "You'll regret this, you're throwing a big chance in the water," Browner says and then walk out of the store angrily. "good day gentlemen". Bloom repairs the plant Bonner knocked over. "Thank you Bloom" Mom says and pulls us into a hug. Together we go to the park and eat an ice cream. Go to the movies take pictures. The week passed very quickly. Eat pizza together. Tell stories about Magix.
