As the night wore on, Aria's restless sleep was plagued by haunting nightmares, her troubled mind consumed by visions of Sky and Bloom. In the dim light of the room, Stella stirred from her sleep in the spare bed she shared with Flora and Aria. With a furrowed brow, she watched as Aria tossed and turned, her peaceful slumber shattered by the torment of her dreams.

Sensing Aria's distress, Stella sprung into action, gently shaking Flora awake. "Flora, something's wrong with Aria," she whispered urgently, her voice tinged with concern. Together, they rushed to Aria's side, joining Andrea and Hannah in their efforts to rouse their friend from her troubled sleep.

"Aria? Aria wake up." Flora called out.

But despite their best efforts, Aria remained trapped in the clutches of her nightmares, her cries echoing through the room as she thrashed about in her sleep. With a sinking feeling in her chest, Stella knew they needed help.

"Flora, call Ms. Faragonda," Stella said firmly, her voice tinged with urgency. "We need her help to wake Aria up."

Flora nodded, her face pale with worry, as she ran to go get Ms. Faragonda. Meanwhile, Stella hurried out of the room to fetch Andrea and Hannah, knowing they would need all the help they could get to save their friend.

"Girls! Girls!"

As Andrea and Hannah roused from their deep sleep, they found themselves face to face with Stella. "Listen, Stella. Just because you're part of our crew, doesn't mean you can just wake us up whenever you feel like it," Hannah muttered groggily.

"Something is wrong with Aria!" Stella yelled, causing the girls to jolt awake. They quickly leaped out of their beds and followed Stella through the rooms.

Seconds later, the girls gathered around Aria's bedside once more, their hearts heavy with concern as they awaited Faragonda's arrival. Finally, the door swung open, and Faragonda entered the room, her expression grave but determined.

"What's the matter?" She inquired, with Flora standing close behind her. "We're not sure, I just woke up and found her like this," Stella replied, her voice filled with fear. The girls watched anxiously as Faragonda examined her.

"Aria is trapped in her fears," Faragonda explained, her voice filled with authority. "We need to enter her dreams and help her confront them so that she can wake up."

The girls all gathered around Aria's bed and held their hands." Remember girls you have been training to be able to convert your magic. Now Focus."

With Faragonda's guidance, the girls closed their eyes and focused their energy, channeling their magic to enter Aria's dreams. As they delved deeper into her subconscious, they found themselves in a surreal dreamscape, surrounded by Aria's deepest fears and insecurities.

"Where are we?" Hannah asked as she looked around, her voice echoing in the darkness that surrounded them.

"We are somewhere in her subconscious, but I don't know where," Flora replied, her voice filled with uncertainty as they began to walk forward.

The girls continued on, their footsteps echoing in the void of darkness that enveloped them, the only thing visible to them being the pure darkness that seemed to stretch on endlessly.

In the darkness, Hannah's voice cut through the tension. "Do you even know where we're going, Flora?" she demanded. Flora's glare was icy as she retorted, "Obviously I don't, but at least I'm making an effort."

Andrea intervened. "We are never going to find her if you two keep arguing," she admonished. The girls fell silent, the gravity of their situation sinking in.
