Dragon Flame connection (Bloom x Valtor)

The discussion

Bloom let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Flora trusted her word; now, she had to convince some of the other Winx before heading to Ms. Faragonda's office.

"Flora! How can you possibly say that? Of course, we want to support Bloom, but we can't support Valtor. It isn't right, not after everything he's done." Techna states, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Girls, please, I need you to believe me. Do you really think I'm that ignorant? I would never let someone trick me, especially someone I once considered my enemy. Valtor's time in the Omega dimension changed him. He got to see life through my eyes for over a year now and then we got to bond in person. His feelings for me are genuine. He cares for me. He completes me."

Bloom looks at her friends with desperate eyes, hoping that a few more of her friends will believe in her.

"You know what? Flora is right girls. If Bloom says that Valtor is a changing man then we have to believe her. Bloom is smart, she'd never fall for an evil wizard's tricks." Stella states with a huff, crossing her arms.

"You too Stella? Really?" Layla scoffs, shaking her head in disappointment. "Girls, I know we all love and care for Bloom but how can you be okay with this? Valtor tried to kill all of us, he tired to destroy all of Magix. He made me blind and hurt my kingdom and you're ready to forgive him?"

"I agree with Layla. I'm sorry Bloom, but he doesn't deserve a second chance after everything he's done." Techna affirms.

Bloom feels her heart sink to her stomach at her friends statements. She could feel the stinging sensation of tears welling in her eyes.

She turns to Musa, hoping that at least one more of her friends will be supportive of her but Musa seems to be fence sitting on what to do.

"I don't know. This is all so much to process. I want to believe you Bloom, I really do..." Musa's voice dies down as she casts her view to the floor.

"Please Musa. I need to you to believe in me. I need your support." Bloom begs, reaching her hand out to place it on her friend's.

Musa looks back up at Bloom with wavering eyes.

"Alright. I trust you on this one Bloom. Please don't make me or any of us regret this."

"Thank you Musa." Bloom smiles, wiping away at her tears.

"I need some time to think about this." Layla stands from her seat and walks to her bedroom.

"Me too." Techna says with a heavy sigh, leaving to go to her room.

"Girls wait-"

"Let them go Bloom." Flora interrupts Bloom's cry for her friends to come back. "This is hard on all of us, so you should let them have time to think about everything that you said."

"Flora's right Bloom, it's best to let them deal with their thoughts. Just know that you have our support." Musa states, pulling Bloom in for a hug.

"Thank you girls so much. I don't know what I'd do without you." Bloomd, returns Musa's hug, feeling some relief wash over her.

All she had to do now was convince the headmistress that Valtor deserves another chance and Bloom would finally feel at ease.

"Alright, we promised Ms. Faragonda that we would take you to her office once you got back. We really need to go there now." Flora says, standing up and dusting off her skirt.

"Yeah, let's go before Ms. Griselda comes here to yell at us for not bringing Bloom to Ms. F right away." Stella chuckles, standing up and grabbing Bloom's hand.
