The warmth of the room and the peaceful lull of the music had lulled Flora into a deep sleep. She lay curled up on the rug, surrounded by her friends, feeling safe and loved for the first time in a long while. The soft glow of the candlelight and the lingering scent of flowers in the air had created the perfect sanctuary for Flora to rest.But as the night deepened, something shifted in Flora's dreams. The calm, soothing landscape of her mind was slowly overtaken by shadows—dark, looming figures that swirled around her like an endless storm. The once-peaceful garden she had created in her playtime became twisted, the flowers wilting and the trees bending under the weight of an unseen force.In the dream, Flora found herself standing alone in the middle of a vast, empty field. The sky above her was dark, filled with swirling clouds that pulsed with an eerie light. She could feel a sense of fear creeping into her heart, but there was nowhere to run, no escape. The air was thick with the weight of something sinister, something that felt wrong. The ground beneath her feet seemed to tremble as if it, too, was afraid.Suddenly, she heard the voices of her friends, calling her name, but the words were distorted, fading away into the wind. She reached out toward them, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get any closer. The more she reached, the further they seemed to drift, lost in the fog."Flora..."Her own voice echoed in the emptiness, frantic and small."No, please!" Flora called out, but her voice was barely a whisper. "Don't leave me!"The shadows around her seemed to close in, and she felt the pressure of loneliness and fear wash over her, suffocating her. The sensation of being alone in this dark, endless void made her heart race.---Flora jolted awake with a sharp gasp, her breathing ragged as the remnants of the nightmare clung to her mind like a heavy fog. Her body trembled, and her heart thudded loudly in her chest as the fear from the dream lingered, making her feel small and helpless."Flora?" Bloom's voice was immediately there, cutting through the haze of her nightmare. She was kneeling beside Flora, her hand gently resting on her shoulder. "Flora, are you okay?"Flora's eyes were wide with panic, and her hands gripped the soft blanket around her as if it were the only thing anchoring her to reality. "I... I couldn't... find you...," she whispered, her voice shaking. "You... you were all so far away. I couldn't reach you."The dream was still vivid in her mind, the fear and isolation hanging heavily over her. She had never felt so small, so alone, and the fear from the nightmare was bleeding into the waking world.Bloom immediately sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her in a comforting embrace. "You're safe now, Flora," Bloom reassured her, her voice soft and soothing. "It was just a nightmare. You're not alone. We're all here."Flora's breathing began to slow, but the weight of the dream was still pressing down on her chest. Her eyes filled with tears as she turned her face into Bloom's shoulder, seeking comfort. "I was so scared... I didn't want to be alone. I... I couldn't find you. I didn't know where you went..."Stella, who had been sitting nearby, immediately moved closer. She gently stroked Flora's hair, speaking in a gentle, loving tone. "Flora, we're right here," she said softly. "We're not going anywhere. We're not going to leave you. It's okay, sweetheart. We're all here for you."Tecna, who had been standing quietly by the window, also moved toward them. "Nightmares can feel real, but they're just dreams, Flora," she said, her voice calm but full of compassion. "You're not alone. We're always here, and you don't have to face anything alone. We've got you."Flora's tears began to fall, and she clutched onto Bloom more tightly, as if trying to anchor herself in the present. The weight of the nightmare, the feelings of abandonment, and the fear that had consumed her during the dream were slowly starting to ease, but she still felt fragile, like the dream had left a mark on her.Helia, who had been sitting nearby, reached out and placed a hand gently on her other shoulder. "Flora, I'm here too," he said quietly, his voice full of tenderness. "It's okay to be scared. But you don't have to face it alone. We're here, every step of the way."Flora sniffled, lifting her head slightly to look up at him. "I was so scared," she whispered. "I thought you all left me.""You'll never be alone, Flora," Bloom said firmly, her voice filled with reassurance. "We're always going to be here for you, no matter what."Stella leaned in, her voice playful yet caring. "And if you need a cuddle, you've got a whole team ready to help!"Flora managed a small, watery smile at that, feeling a bit of comfort from the lightheartedness of Stella's words. It was clear that her friends weren't going to let her go through this alone.Slowly, the fear from the nightmare began to recede, but Flora still felt emotionally fragile. The nightmare had tapped into something deeper, something she didn't fully understand. She had regressed emotionally, yes—but the emotional weight she carried, the vulnerabilities she had buried for so long, had made it harder for her to deal with such fears."I'm sorry," Flora whispered after a long moment of silence. "I didn't mean to wake everyone."Bloom gently stroked her hair, her touch soft and soothing. "Flora, you don't have to apologize. We're here for you. You don't have to keep everything inside. You can lean on us."Flora took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "Thank you," she said quietly, her voice small. "I just don't know what's happening to me..."Stella gently cupped Flora's face in her hands, her expression soft with care. "Flora, what's happening to you is okay," she said, her voice firm but kind. "You're going through something really tough, and you're allowed to feel vulnerable. You don't have to be strong all the time."Musa, who had been sitting near the back, spoke up. "We've all had our moments of fear, and it's okay to let go sometimes. No one expects you to carry everything alone, Flora."Flora's heart swelled with the love her friends were giving her. It was like a warm blanket wrapping around her soul, pushing away the remnants of the nightmare and replacing it with a deep sense of safety. Slowly, she relaxed into their embrace, feeling their presence surround her like a comforting shield.Helia's voice, soft and steady, cut through the quiet. "You're not alone, Flora. We're all here with you. We'll take care of you, just like you've always taken care of us."Flora's eyes shimmered with gratitude as she looked around at each of them. Bloom, Stella, Tecna, Layla, Helia, and the others—each of them had their own unique way of supporting her, but all of them shared one thing in common: their love and dedication to making sure she was never alone."I don't feel so scared anymore," Flora whispered, the fear in her voice beginning to subside. "Thank you, all of you.""You don't ever have to feel alone again," Bloom said gently, kissing the top of Flora's head. "We're here, Flora. Always."---**A Moment of Peace**The Winx Club stayed with Flora for a long time that night, offering quiet comfort as she slowly drifted back to sleep. No more nightmares came.

She had been strong for so long, carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. But in this moment, it wasn't about being strong—it was about being loved.
