At the moment, I was hanging out in Stella's room with the blonde, Bloom, and Alastair. I was sitting on her bed with the white furred feline laying down beside me as the other two girls worked on the blonde's hair. The orange haired girl applying a green substance onto Stella's hair.

"You sure it works?" Bloom asked worried about the blonde's hair.

"It should be fine, right?" I worried as well with Alastair letting out a yawn.

"Absolutely it's a conditioner that Flora concocted and I fully trust our fairy flower child." Stella replied with confidence.

"Suit yourself." The orange haired girl replied continuing to apply.

"Something's on your mind." The blonde stated prying the orange haired girl for answers seeing said girl furrow her brows through the mirror.

"You noticed as well?" I asked the blonde getting a hum in agreement.

"Is it that obvious?" Bloom asked theoretically stopping from applying more conditioner.

"When it comes to your emotions Bloom, you're an open book." Stella informed making me and Alastair nod when the orange haired girl turned to us.

"I've got so many thoughts going around in my head, I feel like it's going to explode." Bloom informed with a sigh.

"Thoughts about your past?" the blonde inquired.

"I mean...Who am I, really? And what is lake Roccaluce and-" the orange haired girl rambled before getting cut off by Stella.

"And there's more?" The blonde asked making Bloom sigh.

"Yes. There is." The orange haired girl replied putting down the brush. 

"Bloom, come here." I said to the girl as she went to sit down beside me. "At least you have the name of a place. Why not start there?" I suggested the girl making her let out a sigh and nod before leaning onto me.

"Listen. I don't know if I can help you about your past, but your present I definitely can." Stella stated grabbing her phone and showing it to Bloom.

"Oh. Well, what do you mean? I-" The orange haired girl stuttered playing dumb making me giggle at her actions though worried by what Stella was referring to.

"Call Brandon." Stella said with vigor thrusting her phone onto Bloom making my worries real.

"Maybe it's not such a good idea..." The orange haired girl proposed skeptical.

"It's a great idea. You two need to clear the air." the blonde insisted thrusting her phone into Bloom's hands. "It's better than driving yourself nuts all day long."

"You're right." The orange haired girl finally relented making Stella exclaim in happiness before Bloom still asked with worry. "Do I really have to call him right now?"

"But of course! There's no time like the present. Now, c'mon Alastair, Zariel we have to prepare you both. Today you have to go to Red Fountain, correct?" The blonde said grabbing my hand and making me trail behind her out of her room with Alastair following behind.

"Hey! Wait, where are you going?!" Bloom asked nervous.

"To the bathroom. I've got to rinse this stuff out of my hair and Zariel is getting ready with my help." Stella stated as we walked out of the room.

"Do you need help?" The orange haired girl asked trying to get out of calling 'Brandon'.

"Don't worry Bloom, I've got her. You resolve that." I stated nodding at her as I followed Stella into the bathroom with Alastair going to wait for me in our room.
