scene: bloom and flora's room

bloom wakes up abruptly, confusion clouding her thoughts.

"what? what do i have to remember??" she murmurs to herself.

flora appears in front of bloom, smiling gently. "for one thing - that today is a holiday!"

"hm?" bloom replies, still groggy.

flora walks to her side of the room and adds, "but that is no reason to spend the day in bed!"

"oh. hi, flora!" bloom greets her friend, starting to wake up more fully.

flora chuckles, "you were talking in your sleep! what was it that you absolutely have to remember?"

bloom, still puzzled, replies, "i-i don't know! it was such a weird dream..."

grabbing kiko, her pet, bloom gets out of bed. she notices flora closing her luggage and picking it up.

"where are you going?" bloom asks, curiosity piqued.

"i'm going home!" flora responds. "today is the day of the rose, it's a special day here in magix - no classes!"

"what's the day of the rose?" bloom asked, her curiosity evident.

tecna responded, "it's a special day where everyone celebrates their own mother. don't you have a holiday like that on earth?"

"oh yes! but we call it mothers' day!" bloom exclaimed, recognizing the concept.

coral chimed in, "hm, that's so much simpler than the day of the rose."

flora turned to bloom, "are you going home, bloom?"

"no... i don't think so," bloom answered thoughtfully.

stella, stepping out of her room with musa, said, "well then, you'll keep us company."

"me too," coral added.

musa looked at coral, surprised. "you're not going home, coral?"

"nope," coral replied. "my mom's busy, and i need to stay here to learn more about my powers."

scene: alfea dining hall

coral, bloom, stella, and musa were having breakfast together.

"there's only griselda left. all the teachers have cleared right off!" stella remarked as she took a sip of her coffee.

wizgiz walked by and chimed in, "you bet!"

"mr. wizgiz!" coral exclaimed.

"you're going too?" stella asked.

"and why not? can't i have... a mother?" wizgiz replied, turning his flower brooch into a rose and skipping off. "cheerio!"

"what a guy!" musa said, making coral laugh.

stella turned to bloom. "and you? why aren't you going home?"

"i prefer to stay here," bloom explained. "if i see my parents again, even for just a day, i'll feel even more homesick!"

"hm..." stella and musa responded in unison.

bloom continued, "okay, coral already gave her reason. why are you two staying here?"

stella looked dejected. "i don't celebrate the day of the rose... i've never told you guys but... my mom and dad are splitting up. yup... the king and queen of solaria aren't getting along anymore."
