Then Sparks Flew

Chapter 2: 19 Years Later

         Nineteen years after that night, the night Bloom left everything she knew and loved behind, she was now happily married to Valtor and they had six beautiful baby girls together. And the morning she dreaded since they were born. 

        And in inspiration of all she loved and missed from her time at Alfea, she decided to name her babies after her friends in their middle names.

       A couple years ago, their oldest girl, Pixie Stella, left the decent sized cottage hidden in the forest of Magix to attend Alfea college and now that their triplets; Muzli Tecna, Tiris Flora, and Helada Aisha, turned fifteen, they were getting sent there as well.

      Bloom, in celebration of them getting accepted into her old school, was in front of the stove making some of her family favorite pancakes. While she was flipping the pancakes, someone came behind her and gave her a big hug. 

      "Valtor," she smiled happily. "Be careful."

     He giggled against her neck, stuffing his hand in the opening of her blue blouse. 

     "Ew!" Bloom and Valtor looked up quickly and saw their ten year old daughter, Flame Musa, staring at them. "Not over the breakfast."

      They laughed at her straightforwardness, Valtor taking a couple steps back from his wife. 

     "Morning my little Flame," he said, walking over to give his young daughter a hug. He lifted her up with his strong arms and placed her on his hip. "Did you sleep well?"

     "Yes, Daddy," she said, a big smile against her face. Her light blonde and red streaked hair was frizzy and messy from just waking up. "Are my older sisters going to Alfea today?"

      "Yup," he smiles, ruffling her hair with his free hand. Her pale blue eyes sparkled with childhood love. "In fact, here are the freshmen now. Good morning my ice princesses."

      The three girls; Muzli, Tiris, and Helada; walked into the kitchen, each carrying a suitcase. Muzli and Tiris were identical, both having the same facial features, the same dirty blonde hair, cyan blue eyes, although Tiris was a bit taller than Muzli. Helada had a very similar facial features like her sisters and the same cyan blue eyes. Her face a bit fatter and she had two unmissable red streaks in her hair. 

     "Morning Dad," they said in unison. "Morning Mom."

    "Morning, babies," Bloom said, her mismatched eyes shining, the sweet smell of pancakes filling the room. "Is Pixie awake yet? She'll be late if she doesn't wake up soon." 

      "Here, Mom." They turned and saw a girl who was much taller than Bloom, and only an inch or two shorter than Valtor. She had a small baby in her arms, Blossom, who had strawberry blonde hair and golden yellow eyes. The tall girl had blood red hair and golden cat-slit eyes. "I was just getting Blossom up."

     "Helada, can you grab the syrup?" Bloom asked from behind the stove. 

   "You got it Mom." She said happily, setting down her dark blue suitcase and walking toward the fridge. 

      Pixie sat a smiling Blossom in a blue and pink high chair and placed a couple Gerber baby crackers on a small plate. 

She immediately began grabbing at them and shoving handfuls into her mouth. They ate their pancakes while conversing about Alfea and what they should expect. 

     "Watch out for Miss. Grizelda," Bloom warned her daughters. "She can be a real witch."

     "I know, right," Pixie adds. "Last year I got detention for sleepwalking."
