Forgotten Fairies

Chapter 43:Zen's Gracious Offer

"Welcome to Viesto di Mendo; the best low price first class tailor shop in Gardenia. " informed Zen. "They have just about anything here."

"These are cool," said Sky.
"Yeah," said Helia.

"May I help you Zen?" inquired Rosemary.
"Yes, could you show us the way to the men's fitting rooms, Mrs. Maroona."
"Sure follow me young men," She said.

She led them to the back hall.
"Down the hall and directly across from the elevator on the right. His your room room number. Hang it on the rack when you're done." She said giving Zen a sign that said 'in use.' with the number 14. "Hope you find what you're looking "

"Thank you," said Sky.

They soon came out.
"No worries, this is my treat,"
said Zen. "Here's the money Ms. Ella."

Sky's eyes went wide. But he didn't say anything. He didn't want to be rude, but he was shocked by the extreme politeness of this young man who seemed to have quite a lot of money for someone a year younger than they were excluding Nebu. Nebu was a year old even though he had just joined as a student of Red Foundation. Helia of all the specialists would probably be the easiest around new people.

Meanwhile Selina was upstairs in her room painting.
She was so annoyed with herself. She had never told a secret before especially to someone she didn't know.
She turned around. Her computer 💻 brought up the love & pet shop.
And the white kitten's picture appeared.

"What Mitsy actually did something nice?" inquired Selina. "I don't believe this. This poor kitten. He must be terrified after what happened."

She had seen what happened thanks to the moonstone about her neck when Bloom's name entered her mind.

"A pet would make a perfect addition to this home. And I've been a little lonely lately since school went to break." said Selina. She sat down at her desk and moved the mouse and clicked the adopt button under the white kitten.

"Guys look at this someone has adopted the kitten Mitsy tried to take care of," informed Tecna. Bloom felt strange when Tecna said this. She felt a faint vibration in the air.

"Great I'm sure he will receive great care," said Bloom.
"Bloom is there something you're not telling us?" inquired Stella.

"I have no clue what you're talking about," said Bloom. "I'm going to the loft, to take a nap before we head to the Fruity music bar again."

"Stella why must you always jump to conclusions?" inquired Flora.

"Why? What? Did I say something wrong?" inquired Stella.

"Of course, maybe Bloom doesn't want to share all her earth background, because it might be worse than you think it was." added Aisha.

"As Bloom's friends," said Musa. "Let's not question her actions."
"Yes, let's trust she will be doing exactly as we believe she will as leader of the winx." agreed Flora. "That means no more bugging her about her life on Earth before Alfea."
"Okay fine, I won't ask again," replied Stella.

Bloom meanwhile lifted up her pillow. And she picked up the envelope.
Bloom's thoughts 💭
What is going on with you, Selina? Why would you give me an apology letter? It's so not you. I wish I knew what happened with you & me. How did we get so distant? I regret not being able to say "Goodbye I wanted too."

Selina had taken the kitten 🐱 with her to the Forest of flowers and that was where she heard exactly what Bloom was thinking about.

"I think I'll call you, Earl, little one." decided Selina. The kitten nuzzled her and meowed. "You have a rough time. But I'll take care of you."

"Are you going to try again Selina?" inquired Wisteria. "That tree once healed might help the winx. It would help you get rid of all all your doubt. A fairy's life is determined by her will to succeed and her level of confidence in herself. You have the right magic. You just need to trust yourself."

[I]"I trust you with my life Selina," Zen had whispered this to her on the beach one night.

"You're right Wisteria; a fairy pushes through her obstacles and it's time I get over Ogron and his friends." said Selina. "I'm a fairy and I won't let my friend's friends go it alone."

"What's happening?"

"It's your charmix transformation," replied Wisteria. "It triggers when a fairy regains her confidence after a hard defeat or thick doubt."

"Oh you look so beautiful," said Wisteria.
Selina's dress had turned green and there was a blue wrap round her waist rather than sparkles ✨ being all over the dress. She had a pouch hanging from the wrap. And she had a Daylight lily flower in her hair which was tied into a ponytail. "

"Thanks Wisteria, now let's see what I can do to help this recovering sapling. Lunar raindrops." performed Selina.

Bloom felt the change in the air.
This time she actually saw Selina's face in her mind and she spoke. "I'm sorry Bloom. I'm so sorry. "

"Bloom wake up; it's time to go to the Fruity Music bar,"

"Stella, I wasn't talking in my sleep was I?"

"No, but you were snoring so loudly you didn't hear us come in," said Stella.

"We'll meet you outside girls," said Flora.
"I saw this on the floor, Bloom."
She handed Bloom the envelope.
"Did Stella notice?"
"No," said Flora. Bloom put it under her pillow again.
"I'll be hobest Flora. I don't think the wizards picked me to attack first. I think I am starting to understand how & why they crossed my path & knew my name."

"You haven't opened the letter yet," said Flora.
"I'm not sure I'm ready to read what is inside Flora," answered Bloom. "Please don't tell anyone you saw that. I don't want anyone more worried than they should be. The Wizards of the black circle are enough to handle for the six of us."
"You have my word Bloom I won't tell anyone. Winx's honor," promised Flora. "We should head on out before they start getting curious."
