Helia pov

I wake up to a blinding ray of light covered partially by shadows. I hear giggles as I open my eyes. Flora's still sleeping, which means that...

Oh no!

"Sorry... we didn't know you guys were busy in here." The giggly voice of Bloom says. They quickly zip the tent back up. Instead of worrying about what they would tell the other guys, I go back to sleep.

Later on, someone opens the tent and dumps water on me and Flora. The two of us shoot up out of our sleeping bags. "Wake up, Lovebirds. Someone's here to see Helia." Musa says. Flora looks at me as I try to dry myself off with my sleeping bag. "You Alright?" I ask her. She nods. "I'm fine. Jut a bit cold." She says. At that, I grab my majestic hoodie and put it on her. "I'll be right back." I tell her as she puts on my hoodie and I leave the tent. I go to the middle of the clearing. I spot someone talking to Musa and Tecna.

I recognize that purple hair anywhere...

I walk up to them and tap there shoulder. They turn around and I discover that I was right. "What are you doing here?" I ask the girl. "Well, a semi-important piece of mail came for you back home." She says and hands me an envelope. I open it.

The royal family of Lynphea invites you to attend the annual Winter Celebration Ball.

"What?" I ask, reading over the invitation again. "Yeah. Yours is a bit more sugarcoated than mine. Mine says Princes/Princesses and Guardian Fairies only." She says.

Oh crap! Did she seriously say that out loud?!

"If it's Royalty only, Then why was Helia invited?" Brandon asks. Riven pokes my cheek. "Are you some sort of secret princess?"

Everyone looks at Riven like he just said something stupid.

"Try again." Timmy says.

Riven thinks for a few seconds. "Ohh!" He exclaims, coming to a realization.

"Yeah. I didn't want you guys to find out like this." I say, looking over to the purple haired one. She holds up her hands in a surrendering manner. "Sorry. I wasn't made aware that they didn't know, your highness."

Dammit!

"So, your a prince?" Sky asks. "Why didn't you tell us?"

"It's not the type of thing I like to talk about. Mostly, when people find out, they ask who my parents are, and I don't really like to talk about them much... like this one here." I point to the new person, who I realize I'm the only one who's met her.

She holds out her hand to them for a handshake. "Name's Lillie. Nice to meetchya." She says, as none of them respond, and they look to me for an explanation.

I sigh. "She's the guardian Fairy of my realm, Fairy of Dreams, my royal advisor, and..." I pause dramatically as I rest my elbow her shoulder "one of my best friends." It was at this time that I notice Flora awake and standing next to Musa.

"I really only came to drop off that invitation." Lillie says to me. "Really?" I ask. I couldn't get it from the princess of Lynphea herself?" I ask.  "Hey, look. Don't shoot the messenger. I gotta go now, but we can talk about this later."

And with that, she walks away. Flora looks at the invitation. "Oh! I didn't know that Krystal sent those out already!" She says. "Yeah. Apparently she did." Riven says nonchalantly. "Are you going to go, Helia?" Musa asks me. "I guess. I don't see why not."

I see Stella, Aisha, and Bloom smirk devilishly behind Flora. I think everyone else saw it too. Because, except for me and Flora, everyone sits down around the dead campfire. Out of instinct, I sit down as well. Flora looks at us confusedly. "Flora, come on. You know exactly what this is." Bloom says. Flora sighs. "Is there any way I can avoid it?"

The rest of the girls shake their heads. "The rest of us went through this at some point. Now it's your turn." Tecna says. "What exactly is going on?" Riven asks.

"Every time us girls have a sleepover, one of us has to share some juicy gossip that they have heard. Last time was Tecna, this time it's Flora." Stella explains. "I don't have any." Flora says, trying to get out of it. "Oh, I'm calling bull!" Musa says,as she and the rest of us except for me shout in protest.

"There has to be something." Brandon says.

"Well..." Flora says as she sits next to me. "There is one thing..."

"What is it?" Bloom asks eagerly. "I can't tell you." Flora says, and he shouts of protest return. "What the heck?! Why not?!" Brandon asks angrily. "Because it is top-secret, highly confidential information. Like, seriously? I think I'm the only person who knows." Flora says, making us even more curious. "Well, now you have to tell us." Riven says.

Flora sighs. "I don't know..." she bites her lip, as everyone else practically yells at her. "Fiiiiiine." She groans. "Get ready. This is going to blow you guys away." She warns, leaving the rest of us on the edge of our logs. "Ok, so you guys know princess Krystal right?" She asks, to which we all nod. "Well..."
