Chapter Fourteen: Endings and New Beginnings

Bloom woke up in the darkness to the sound of someone calling her name. Coughing hard she looked around in her cramped space in the rubble to see slits of light entering from above, the light getting bigger as the calling grew louder and more desperate.

"Bloom! Bloom say something!"

Her mouth was dry as sandpaper but Bloom managed a ragged cough and a choked yell "S-Sky!" The light above her opened up more as Sky forcefully pulled the debris away from the crushed fairy, when his eyes fell on her in her usual clothes, wet hair plastered to her face and dirt and mud covering almost all of her is expression gave way to relief "Oh Bloom" the emotion was enough to make her smile even though a certain pain was making itself known in her left shoulder and right ankle, she also recognised the salt taste of blood in her mouth. She reached out her hand for him to grip and carefully pull her up and out of her little hole, she screwed her eyes tightly as more pain exploded in her whole body and she had to cling to Sky in order to stay upright.

"Where is everybody? Are they ok?" She asked too tired to look herself.

Sky wrapped his arms around her and held her gently, he looked around at the battlefield that looked like a tornado had run though it, people were groaning in pain as they tried to dislodge themselves from the earth and others were stumbling around looking a little lost "We lost a lot of people. I haven't seen any of our friends but the good news is that I haven't seen one evil person. They must be dead"

Bloom felt relief go through her a tiny bit before it gave way to panic "What?!" She wrenched herself out of Sky's arms and started to walk quickly in any direction, her eyes searching the rubble for a familiar face "Oh my god, where are my friends? Where are the guys? Do you think they're dead?" She whirled back to Sky with a stricken face "What if they didn't survive the fall?" A small sob escaped her and Sky walked quickly toward her.

"Bloom we'll find them, we just have to be patient" He tried to take her hand and she spun away again "No! We have to find them now!" Bloom picked up a random piece of rubble and threw it away and started to dig in the ground as panicked breathes escaped her "Help me!

Sky knelt down next to her and started to clear away as much rubble as they could get their hands in, the sun started to shin soon after that giving them lots of light. Bloom saw that most of the battlefield was untouched by the rubble and only those that were fighting under it had been buried. On sheer luck Miss Faragonda found them soon after that and in a moment of complete relief actually hugged Bloom tightly "Oh Bloom, I'm so glad you're safe. It's over now"

Bloom stepped out of her embrace quickly "No it's not over until we find my friends!"

"Now hush, it's going to be alright. We'll find them all soon enough" Miss Faragonda turned and held her hands to the ground, small light started to appear every few feet in glowing sparks and hovering just above the ground. Miss Faragonda turned to all the people who were standing around "Alright, we have people who have been hurt and buried, we need to find them so pick a light and start digging, they all represent one person!" After a brief pause people started to dig quickly while others who were too injured to use their hands stumbled away to collect help. Bloom and Sky picked a light and dug fast, thankfully there weren't that many lights so it was pretty easy to come across one of their friends. They found Stella and Brandon first, each of them holding onto each other tightly, as soon as the rubble was lifted from them Stella poked her head up with a sour expression "Excuse me, we're trying to have a private moment here!"

"Well private moment's over Stella, out of the ground!" Bloom said hardly, even though there was a huge smile on her face. Stella looked up at her with the most stubborn expression Bloom had ever seen her wear "No"

"You're fathers walking this way" Bloom stated without looking away.

Brandon got a small look of panic and tried to instant detangle himself from ground and Stella but she gripped him tightly "She's bluffing"

"Stella!" The unmistakably sound of Stella's father boomed out over the battlefield, Stella practically shot out of the ground screaming "Get out of the hole!" Bloom and Sky laughed uncontrollably as the huge King made his way over with soldiers at his back and a hard expression on his face. When he got close enough to talk he didn't stop there until he had swept his daughter up into a strong bear hug. Stella looked completely shocked that her mouth hung open and couldn't even return the embrace.

"Don't you ever, EVER, do that again! That's an order!" The king said gruffly but his eyes were closed and he was almost chocking the blond fairy in his arms that choked out "Yes sir"

Bloom laughed once again but was instantly distracted by the sound of rubble crashing to the ground a few yards away, looking over she saw a small group of Riven, Helia and Flora standing around sorting through the dirt where a small light hovered "Look!" Bloom pointed, once the four of them saw the group they ran in that direction, Flora barely had time to turn and look before Bloom barrelled into her.

"Flora, oh Flora, you're safe!" Bloom cried as she held her friend.

"Bloom, oh my god I thought we we're done for a second there! But we're okay!" Flora responded, smiling widely at the sky in happiness. Sky and Brandon smiled at Helia and did a manly sort of smack on the back; they didn't bother with Riven who looked too concerned with digging to acknowledge the gesture.

"But where's everyone else?" Bloom asked as she stepped out of the hug. At that moment Riven who had been digging through the whole exchange suddenly reached into the ground and pulled out a dirt covered Musa by the arm, lifting her high and into his arms. Musa let out a startled yell at the action and looked around confused.

"Musa!" Stella, Bloom and Flora all cried together.

"Umm" Musa muttered as she looked around and let her eyes settle on Riven, she did an embarrassed little smile and looked down "Aw thanks babe"

"Are you guys okay?" Flora asked as she glanced around at everyone, they had to admit they all looked ready to drop dead. Both specialists and fairies were covered head to toe in dirt and blood; there was also a scar that dripped blood from each of them where the black spikes had pierced them.

"Yeah we should really see a doctor" Stella said as she looked down at the scar that had stabbed her in the shoulder, it seemed to bleed black sort of blood and pulsed painfully "God...it's so going to scar"

"What's wrong with battle scars?" Musa asked a little defensively, still being held in Riven's arms who looked like he had no intention of dropping her.

"You may like them but I don't! Battle scars are just..." Stella gave a whole body shiver.

"I'll give you a battle scar in a minute if you don't get me out of this hole Princess Stella of Saloria!" Yelled an angry looking Techna who was half out of the ground with a huge piece of rock covering the side of her, it looked uncomfortable. No wonder she's angry.

The group quickly ran over to her and tried to wedge her out of the ground with no success, she they tried to pull her out Flora let out a startled scream and gripped Helia's arm as a hand wrapped itself around her ankle "Layla, I swear to god!" Flora yelled as she covered her face and breathed heavily. A piece of rock was moved away to reveal a half buried Layla on her side and laughing hysterically "Oh Flora I'm sorry, I couldn't help it!"

"Damn you!" Flora said as she uncovered her face to glare unhappily at layla who continued to laugh. Bloom leaned down to pick layla out of the dirt, as she helped her up Techna piped up still buried in the ground "Have you seen Timmy?"

"I think they dug themselves out earlier, they're probably looking for us" layla answered as she whipped dirt off her pants, no one in there fairy forms anymore.

Riven looked around as he held Musa, a curious expression on his face "Where the hell are all the bad guys? We weren't finished with them yet"

"Don't know, probably dead" Grunted Stella as she and Brandon took both of Techna's hands and pulled her from the ground, she hobbled a bit when trying to stand. Bloom felt a twist of dread and sadness go through her as she realized that her evil self was nowhere to be found, she instinctively looked around the field for anyone who looked like her evil self. When she didn't see her she called out inside her own head but was met with silence, she reached out and took Sky's hand and held it tightly. He looked at her for a moment and then squeezed back, understanding.

The group stood together in the middle of the battlefield looking out at the destruction and misery that the deceased new evil had caused, they would forever remember what they had gone through but right now they had some stuff they needed to sort through.

...

"You, you little bitch!" A shrill yell pierced the kingdoms silence.

Bloom had been sitting on a plush sofa in the middle of the foyer in the castle of Eraklyon after she had been given the most thorough medical examination of her life, Sky and Miss Faragonda had insisted that they all be checked out. This was done almost immediately after they had gotten back from the long flight from the battle field. Everyone had been flat out busy helping the injured and Bloom had been cleared to go but her friends had been asked to stay back because of the horrible looking wounds they had gotten from the black spikes. This caused Bloom great worry, Damn damn damn, what if the injury is too much, what if it does something to them that could cause them to become evil or die or some other freaky thing because it's happened before! Bloom had been in the middle of fidgeting and staring blankly at the ground when she had jumped a foot in the air from the yell.

Bloom whirled around in her seat, kinda painful because of her injuries, and saw a seriously pissed looking Diaspro who was still in her wedding dress, hair all messy and mascara streaming down her face. The blond girl had her glare fixed on Bloom and was marching across the great room, people parted to let her through while Bloom sat back in the couch and took up a carefree attitude and smile.

Once Diaspro stood in front of her Bloom looked at her expectantly, she began "You horrible little fairy! Do you know what you've done?! All my plans, all the work I've put into landing Sky, the guy that I was promised right from the beginning, the guy you stole and now all my work is ruined! I was going to be a queen, be admired and beautiful but now it's gone! And it's your fault!" Her voice rang out down the hall loudly, nobody could have missed that.

Bloom looked at the sobbing mess in front of her with a neutral expression, she had pitied Diaspro in the past and that always seemed to come back and bite her in the ass. Looking around she saw almost half of the foyer had stopped what they were doing and were staring at the two girls.

"You know Diaspro all that stuff you just said to me, it seemed like all you care about is what you're getting out of a marriage with Sky, you want to know what I think?" Bloom arched an eye brow at the girl, she had started to sneer so much that she showed teeth "You don't actually care about Sky at all, you just want what he can give you and that is not a marriage. And..." Bloom stood up off the couch and came up to full height and started steadily at Diaspro "...that's why he will always choose me, because I'm the one who loves him. And he loves me...and that kills you"

"No" Diaspro shook her head with a small smile "I stole him off you once what makes you think I won't do it again?"

Bloom leaned over the girl and whispered menacingly "Because I'm not afraid of you Diaspro, I'm not afraid of what you think you're capable of. If you ever mess with me and Sky again I will come and find you and beat the shit out of you and you know I have friends who will have no problem bailing me out. You understand what I'm saying...I WILL DESTORY YOU" Bloom stepped back and turned to leave when she heard Diaspro whisper "At least I'm a real princess"

Bloom quickly she spun on her foot and with strength and lightening fast speed planted her fist right into Diaspro's nose, making it crack loudly and blood shoot out. She stumbled back into the front of the couch, screaming loudly and patting her nose hysterically. Bloom let out a laugh of relief and yelled "Oh yeah, that was amazing!" Jumping up and down like a happy child, Bloom didn't even care that about a hundred people had seen her assault a princess, she had wanted to do that since she met the Blond harpy.

"I'll say, goddamn!" Bloom heard next to her, she looked over and almost jumped out of her skin, she saw the shocking sight of evil Bloom leaning against the far wall with a huge smile on her face. She ran over and to Bloom, and to her major surprise, hugged her tightly "That was incredible, I'm so proud of you!"

"What are you doing here?" Bloom whispered while looking around frantically but, strangely nobody took any notice of the two Blooms and was too focused on Diaspro who was still screaming and yelled out "Oh god, you deserve to die, just like your rotten little family you whore!"

Evil Bloom stepped out of Bloom's embrace quickly with a blank expression "Ah hell no!" She stepped forward and with a swing of her fist punched Diaspro who was thrown back into the couch; more blood escaping from her nose, the wedding dress she wore was now totally ruined. Evil Bloom jumped up and down and cheered loudly, Bloom had to laugh at the spectacle she was making out of herself and nobody could even see her. Diaspro stood up and breathed heavily as she glared menacingly at the good Bloom "I swear to god I will kill you Bloom"

Both Bloom's paused for the fraction of a moment and looked at each other "One more time?" Good Bloom asked evil Bloom nodded happily. The two of them swung their fists and hit the girl right in the lower jaw sending her flying into the air and right over the back of the couch. The two girls laughed hysterically and ran quickly into a nearby empty room that looked like a small coat room; once the door was closed they both leaned against it and laughed for the longest time. Bloom felt more peace go through her as she giggled; it felt like ages since she last had a good laugh. After that was done she turned to her evil self and took her firmly by the shoulders "You're alive! You're walking around! How?!" Bloom asked with wide eyes.

"I don't know! I just woke up like this! I mean...all my friends are gone and I kinda won't have anyone to talk to but you. But that's okay because now I have my own body, I just totally punched Diaspro and nobody can blame me for it!" The girl clapped her hands cheerfully and laughed some more.

Bloom looked at her evil self for a long moment with a small smile "You know...I'm really glad you're back. I missed you, I missed having you yell at me and bitch about how I'm screwing everything up" Evil Bloom smiled and rolled her eyes "Oh god, don't go all sappy on me!" Bloom just shook her head and pulled the girl into a tight hug, which she slowly returned.

"What happened up there?" Bloom whispered as she started blankly at the closed door, she thought back to the fight and the major change in the new evils attitude when she had tried to kill her.

Evil Bloom stepped out of the hug and walked further into the cramped room, she faced away from good bloom and spoke with a far away voice "I don't know, I guess I saw the error in my ways, I saw the light and ugh...you brought me back to the good side. I'm going to live a perfect life of doing good deeds and helping you build a great kingdom, you know all those...good things" She turned and shrugged her shoulders lazily. Good Bloom stared at her like 'Please, are you kidding me?' the girl saw this and threw her hands in the air "Okay fine! I didn't want you to die, it got to the very last second and she was about to kill you and you said all those nice things to me and I saw the look in your eyes. You were totally going to let yourself die so I could be happy"

"Well I couldn't really let myself die, she was going to kill me either way" Bloom muttered but the evil girl continued on as if she hadn't heard her.

"And I thought, maybe you aren't so bad. You're good yeah and that still pisses me off but...you're my friend. You're a part of me and I knew that if you went away I would be left feeling...like I'd had half my soul ripped from my body"

"So you just...?" Bloom asked shaking her head unable to finish. Evil Bloom did it for her "...Changed my mind! Yep pretty much"

"Just like that?"

"Just like that!"

"Okay...so you're back." A thought occurred to her "Oh umm, I'm sorry about how we left it...you know in the other future when I yelled at you and said those things" Good Bloom looked at the ground ashamed.

"What you mean that 'I truly am evil'? Don't worry about it. I say stuff like that to myself all the time and Bloom seriously I'm a selfish person, I'm always going to think of myself first and that's where you come in, you and me complete each other, that's the way it has to be" The girl smiled and for once it wasn't a menacing and cruel smile it was a genuinely happy smile.

The moment was broken when both girls heard a commotion in the hall, there was some shouting and the sound of something breakable hitting the stone floor. Both girls glanced curiously at each other and then the door, evil Bloom spoke up "I sense a dark presence in that room" Good Bloom looked at her alarmed and quickly walked out of the coat room and into the grand foyer. She immediately saw what it was and sucked in a shocked breath; way across the hall where it led off into many different hallways was a group of familiar people facing down a certain person who was in the middle of yelling at them. The girls walked closer through the forming crowd to get a better look and saw the Specialists, except Sky who was absent, and the Winx Club facing...Aw Crap!...Lucus who was yelling menacingly "You've finally done it. Do you know how many people have died today, the lives that have been lost because of you people?"

"That was not our fault! You can't blame us for something she did! She was her own person, she made her own choices and we got rid of her!" Stella yelled as she stepped forward, looking like she was going to charge the man, Brandon held onto her arm cautiously with a worried look at the tall blond.

"Yeah, if we hadn't killed her she would still be kicking all of our asses!" Musa yelled back in his face, taking on the same stance as Stella. Riven behind her didn't even try to hold onto her but stood there with a ferocious expression pointed at Lucus.

"I still blame you!" Lucus yelled back, looking tall and proud.

"Oh go ahead and blame us, we can live with it don't worry!" Stella smiled back at him, letting out a little laugh. This seemed to enrage Lucus more and he stepped forward "Live with it? You think you're going to get away with this? Somewhere, somehow I will find proof that you're guilty of her crimes and lock you up for the rest of your lives or better yet just chop your pretty little heads off!"

"Are threatening me?" Musa asked as she balled up her fists at her side "You would dare try to kill a Princess?!" Stella asked loudly, it was her turn to look tall and proud and she did a good job of it since she was about half a foot taller than Lucus. Evil Bloom shook her head angrily beside Bloom in the crowd, nobody noticed her or heard her when she said "Somebody really ought to shove up pole up that guys ass" She muttered and after a moment her eyes went wide and happy "Oh I'm gonna go find a pole! This is great; nobody will even see me do it!" She disappeared into the crown, or floated right through it.

"No! Bloom?!" Good Bloom whispered after her but was distracted when Lucus piped up.

"I can threaten whoever I want! I represent the Magix defence force and I decide who is guilty of what crimes and I will have justice! And no spoiled little whore is going to stand in my way!"

"Oh what did you call me?!" This time Musa did lunge for the man, with Stella right behind her and soon enough the group had turned into one bog brawl with Lucus shouting and swing while the girls tried their best to get to him with the guys holding them back and even some of the castles guards joined in. The crowd actually cheered on the fight while all Bloom could do was stare open mouthed at the spectacle.

"Stop!" A booming voice rang out through the hall. The fighting group parted quickly to see Sky and ten solders standing at the entrance of the hallways just a few metres from the group "You!" Sky pointed at Lucus with a menacing expression, even Bloom was impressed "Get out of my kingdom!"

Lucus shook his head and looked even more angry "You realize that things people are responsible for the destruction and killing of so many-"

"GET OUT!"

Bloom had never seen anyone run so fast. She smiled as the crowd started to clear quickly in the presence of the Prince, the Specialists smiled at their friend and laughed at his exit. The girls smiled cooly and fixed their already ruined hair, Bloom walked over to Sky meekly and smiled a shy smile up at him, for once she wasn't afraid of saying anything for fear of her evil self hearing and god knows what she was doing right now "Hi"

"Hey there" Sky answered back as he wrapped his arms around the exhausted and battle worn fairy "I heard Diaspro was here" He arched an eyebrow at her and she did her best to look innocent "Yeah we had a small chat, you want to hear something shocking?...I don't think she likes me" Sky laughed and pulled her closer.

"Is everything ok? With the wounds you got from the spikes?" Bloom asked warily against his shoulder.

"Yeah it's gonna be fine. It'll take a while to heal but we'll get there, just a scar" Sky answered back through closed eyes.

"I think everyone needs to heal for a while, I just want to spend a day where nothing bad happens or I don't run into an old enemy or I'm not reminded that I'm totally not good enough for you"

Sky lifted the girl up until she was face to face with him, her feet dangling in the air "You were always so much better than I was, I'm the one that was unworthy. It never mattered that I had a kingdom and you didn't, it was about the decisions I made that ruined us. I'm sorry"

Bloom placed both her hands on either side on his head "No more apologising, please"

Sky shook his head slightly in wonder "I still can't believe you're taking me back, you are taking me back right?"

Bloom laughed and nodded "Yes I am and I don't want to hear anymore about the past, let's just look to the future instead"

"I love you Bloom" Sky whispered to her softly.

"I love you too" Bloom whispered back while leaning forward slightly too almost kiss him.

"And we can finally relax for a while" Sky said leaning forward too. Bloom pulled back suddenly with a blank face and far off eyes "Not quite" Sky looked at her curiously for a long time. Bloom looked down at him with a small smile "Sorry but there's just one more thing I have to take care of" She leaned over and gave him a quick kiss before wiggling until she was on the floor again. Bloom walked quickly over to her friends who were also in huddled and sweet embraces with their guys.

"Umm sorry but girls we have something we have to go and do" Bloom said loudly enough to get their attention.

"Oh what is it?" Stella asked whining as she turned away from Brandon.

"Bloom we just fought a war and vanquished the new evil please I beg of you, Let us go!" Layla said as she sat down and looked unhappy.

"I'm really sorry but this can't wait!" Bloom said as she turned toward the Foyer doors. The girls all detangled themselves and ran after her, Techna asked "What's so important?" Bloom was about to answer when she spotted an evil Bloom walking into the foyer doors with a long silver pole in her arms, Bloom almost dropped to the ground and groaned for dear life, not to mention how many people she was freaking out by holding a pole so it looked like it floated in mid air and was making its way across the foyer "For the love of...Okay!" Bloom turned to the group and said quickly "Go find a ship and head over to Gardenia, look in all the rivers until you find Mr Spitters body" Bloom turned and walked away from her friends and hurried over to the evil Bloom who was still walking smugly with pole in hand.

Bloom grabbed her by the arm and swung her around until they were both walking out of the doors and toward the ship bay "What're you doing? I'm kinda in the middle of something here!"

"You can do that later right now we need to do something else" Bloom answered as she walked determined toward the ship they had arrived in.

"And what's that?"

"Go dig up Diaspro's body and burn it!" Bloom answered hardly.

Evil Bloom paused for a moment as she watched good Bloom walk forward; a slow smile crossed her face "Oh the future is looking brighter and brighter"

... Three years later. (Please note that the events that are about to be listed certainly did not actually happen in the show but have been made up out of my head. At this point I'm not sure if I want to do Mini stories of some characters after 'Other Side and back Again' but just to let you know that these events may change to suit the stories I have yet to make up, thanks!)

Bloom walked across the glowing fields of Eraklyon, the sun was rising behind her as she wandered the far away gardens, the castle looking tall and proud in the distance. She was wearing one of her favourite dresses of deep navy Blue with silver lining on all the folds and hems, a silver crowd sitting on her head with blue sapphires embedded into the top and there was also a long floor length black coat with blue patters in the collar and sleeves. Bloom had gotten used to walking at this time of day, it was her favourite time. Watching the sun rise on the horizon, signifying the coming of a new day, it gave her hope. So much had happened in the last three years and in times like this every day she would reflect on what had happened and what had become of her and her friends.

Well for starters the whole of Magix had to be put back together, not an easy thing to do but after ages of working and a whole load of magic they managed to get it back to fighting strength. The girls mainly focused on Gardenia and their own home planets which meant that they had to spend a lot of time apart, the girls had to stay at their own homes and help with the rebuilding. By the end of each day they were so tired that they barely had the strength to call their boyfriends. Not to mention the HUGE lectures they each got form their parents about safety and calling home when you damn well need help, Bloom got hers from Miss Faragonda filling in as her guardian in those situations. It was lonely and very hard work but finally Magix was back to its former glory after three months. So after that they were allowed to return to Alfea, classes started up again, the work was gruelling after missing so many classes but the girls passed the end of year exams since they had been taught all kinds of magical and metal lessons from Valtor, after half a year the girls were finally allowed to graduate.

With regard to their relationships everything was a little strained, what did you think it was going to be a 'happily ever after'? But that doesn't mean that things weren't romantic and sweet...most of the time. After the girls graduated and became guardian fairies they all went their separate ways but still kept firmly in touch.

Stella went back to Saloria and Brandon was totally smitten enough with her to follow, he joined the palace guards and being one of the famous Specialists it didn't take long for him to become a shining star in the ranks, Stella couldn't be more proud of her secret boyfriend. Yes their relationship was a secret for both of their sakes since Stella's father would probably butcher Brandon if he found out about him dating his only daughter. In those few months Stella worked closely with her mother, which she dreaded, to become a better princess and prepare her for the time when she would become queen. The King and Queen still couldn't stand to be in the same room with each other but that would never change and Stella learned to live with it. The only time Stella and Brandon ran into trouble was when the king started looking for possible matches to be Stella's husband, so without any other options Stella told her father about Brandon. His reaction was well...as you can expect it to be. He forbid the relationship and tried to convince his daughter of her duty as Princess and almost banished Brandon from Saloria. But thank god Stella's mother loved a good argument and to everyone's shock defended her daughter, after a long discussion (Which meant the four of them locked in a room to argue for hours on end) they came to an agreement (Which meant Stella threatening to step down as princess and leave them without an heir) And let Stella and Brandon keep seeing each other under firm supervision. Time went by and it came time for Stella to marry, of course she chose Brandon and sent the entire planet into scandal, Bloom and her friends were immediately sent for to come and comfort their friend. The approval of the engagement by the Winx Club and Stella's parents was enough to get everyone to calm down and accept it as well. So without further delay they were both married, the ceremony was...HUGE. Bigger than huge it was monstrously gigantic; it had Stella written all over it. Her friends couldn't be more happier for them both, it was without doubt the most magical day of Stella and Brandon's life; they had gotten to stay together even though she was a princess and he was a page. After that Stella took on the role of Sometimes acting queen, it would only be after her father died that she would become Solaria's full queen. Through that time Brandon became head of security for the kingdom, being the son in law, he was able to be with Stella as much as she needed him to be and keep her safe. For the two and a half years they've been married they've lived in marital bliss, the only time they ever spent away from Saloria was when it was around Christmas time and they would travel to Brandon's home and spent it with them, Bloom thought it would be good for Stella to see how the 'other half' lived, of course they adored the princess and accepted her with open arms. The subject of children only came up once. Stella wanted to have a large family and that was the end of the discussion, Bloom dreaded what would have happened if Brandon hadn't been in complete agreement with her. The two of them would have kids one day but it was something that they both agreed they wouldn't rush into but Bloom knew it would be any day now, those two were meant to be parents.

Bloom knew that some people think that Stella and Brandon's life had been rushed into but they had seen nothing when it came to Flora and Helia. Right after they graduated from Alfea Flora and Helia gave everyone the biggest shock ever when they announced that they would be getting married as soon as possible, everyone was beyond happy for them except for Stella who was outraged that she wasn't the first one to get married but she got over it. So before everyone went their separate ways to their own planets after graduation Flora and Helia were married, it was a simple affair with both families flown. The ceremony was held in a forest just outside of Gardenia that Flora took upon herself to make it the floral heaven she had always imagined. Unlike Stella's wedding it was small and quiet; it had some ancient wedding vows from Flora's home planet that they both recited, the girls were kind of confused since Flora's culture didn't allow her to have bridesmaids but the happy look on her face when she walked up the rose petal isle that day sent any negative feels flying away. Their honeymoon was spent travelling to all the tallest rainforests and deepest jungles in all of Magix, after that they moved into a home that they had been owned by Helia's family and modified to suit his wife's interests, meaning knocking down a lot of walls and putting in tall windows and doors and expanding the garden for yards, also installing a waterfall. But seeing as they were both very free spirits they spent a lot of time roaming to their friend's planets and staying with them for a time, they went where ever the wind took them. Out of all the girls in the Winx Club Flora was the only one to have kids in the three years after the vanquish of the new evil, Bloom and her friends were ecstatic when they got the call, they ordered their gentle friend to stay at her own home all of her pregnancy and relax. Taking it in turns to go live with her for a month at a time and watch over her, Flora thought their overprotection was ridiculous but was even more surprised when Helia wholeheartedly agreed with the girls methods, so Flora stayed put. Nine relaxing months later the first child of the Winx club was born, or the first children to be exact. Flora had twins which she lovingly named Violet and Vincent; they were loved by everyone and would want for nothing. Flora continued to be her planets guardian fairy and was loved by everyone for her dedication and warmth. To this day Bloom still looked at the couple and their two kids and thought of them as leaves travelling on the wind, they would forever be free spirits.

Bloom always thought that out of all the girls in the Winx Club Flora and Stella ended up the happiest out of all of them, maybe she shouldn't say happy since they were all happy but those two were living more domestically than the rest.

Layla and Nabu were a little less so but still happily together, their story was very much smooth and easy, everything was played by the rules. It wasn't hard to convince either of their parents that they were meant to be together and soon an engagement was formed. And a long engagement it was, say like three years. Layla took her duty as guardian fairy most seriously as well as being a princess; the girl drove herself into the ground with work and if it wasn't for Nabu she would have never stopped and slowed down to enjoy life. Apparently long engagements weren't unusual for either of their people so the Winx Girls didn't ask too much about it. To this day Bloom always thought that Layla and Nabu had an incredibly simple and sweet life, as simple as being a princess and prince could be. Like the honourable people they were they weren't going to have kids until after marriage, Musa once made the cheeky joke in front of Layla about how their sex life must have been hella boring, the punch to the face shut her up but whenever Layla speaks about kids Musa always got this tiny smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes.

Speaking of Musa Bloom had to laugh at how different her life turned out compared to the rest of them. After Flora's wedding and the graduation Musa, Techna, Timmy and Riven all moved into Gardenia together. Bloom could never figure out what 'together' meant for the four of them because whenever she went to visit them in their apartment she found that Riven had moved out or sometimes Musa would move out to a small loft across town, when she asked Techna about this erratic behaviour one day she simply smiled and replied that "You know how Musa and Riven are, I very much doubt that they'll ever settle down. They just can't seem to live in peace with each other" As for Timmy and Techna those two were slowly getting better at relationships, as blind and oblivious to love as those two were. They started their own computer and device company together and with their combined knowledge of everything logical it became a huge success and pretty soon all the planets wanted in on their new systems and faster running computers. This was pretty convenient because just a few blocks away was the club and music store Musa had opened up with the aid of her father's money and support. The club was a huge place filled with dance floor, bar and adjacent to it was a music store that Musa played music in the bar so the people could listen before buying it. The place was a roaring success and Musa was the proud and hard assed owner of this fine establishment. Even more convenient was the mechanic store that Riven opened up right across the road from said club, one their good days Musa and Riven lived in complete harmony with each other and were fine to cross the road and see each other when ever their hearts wanted it but on their bad days the road that separated the club and Mechanic shop was the barrier that neither would cross if their life depended upon it. Life was never boring in Gardenia with the four of them being the most popular people in town.

Last but not least was Bloom. After graduation Bloom had travelled back to Earth for a while to say a final goodbye to the world she loved, paying her respects to her adoptive parents and going back to Eraklyon. From the very beginning of their relationship Sky made it abundantly clear to his parents who his girlfriend was and that no matter what she wasn't going anywhere, the King and Queen made a special effort to get to know Bloom and try and accept their new daughter because Sky also made it clear to the whole world that one day he would marry her and make her a queen. Bloom at these times would remember the short day and a half she spent in her other life and remember the duties she had as queen then, so one night she put on a hard face and made it perfectly crystal clear to Sky she would never be queen unless it was done her way, he was confused at first but once she told him that she didn't want to change dresses a thousand times a day and only nod to the people and not listen to their problems he pretty much went "Whatever makes you happy" So came the long awaited day that Sky proposed to Bloom, it was a beautiful moment that would live in Bloom's heart forever. She said yes of course and after only a month of waiting they were married, it was custom that whenever the eldest son of the king married he would take over the throne, so on the same day as the wedding both of them were proclaimed King Sky and Queen Bloom of Eraklyon. If you're ever wondering what happened to evil Bloom, she made the best of having her own invisible body and was constantly playing tricks on the staff and royal family in the castle, Bloom nearly pulled her hair out with stress over her other self, she had to forcefully train herself not to peek at her in vital moments when she was talking to someone or not speak to her and appear crazy. Bloom told Sky and her friends about the invisible girl and to their total discomfort was preyed upon to be the victims of her pranks. Whenever the girl got tired of speaking to Bloom she would beg her to interpret for her when speaking to Musa or Sky, or she would just creepily write on the walls with red lipstick. The one good thing about having an invisible evil self was she could listen in on others conversations and scare enemies half to death, enemies like Lucus. Evil Bloom made it a point to haunt the poor man regularly and scare him into not pursuing them for their crimes against Magix. Evil Bloom was given a stern warning on the day of the wedding not to interfere with the ceremony or even come near the happy couple unless to wish them well and also to not even be within the castle walls on the wedding night since Bloom was paranoid about getting the crap scared out of her on her wedding night, she obeyed her good self just this once seeing as how it was her wedding day but had no problem appearing to her the next morning and making a stream of loud sexual comments and asking incredibly inappropriate questions. Apart from that little bump in the road Bloom was incredibly happy; she didn't have any enemies to worry about, no Valtor whispering in her ear, no evil to taunt her or demons to conquer. Life was good.

Bloom watched the sun rise over her kingdom in peaceful bliss, the warm wind blew past her face and a little smile curled on her mouth as she placed her hands upon the small sized bump rising out of her stomach. She wouldn't be able to keep the secret for long, especially from her friends. Sky had been told immediately when she found out and promised not to tell a soul, he was in complete adoration of his wife and was not about to disobey her wishes in that moment. Bloom stood in the field on Eraklyon and smiled up at the sky, she thought about all the obstacles she had faced and how back when she was working for Valtor she had never thought she would be this happy, married and finally expecting a child of her own. She knew it would be a girl, she also knew she would name her Daphne.

Even though life had slowed down and become peaceful without all the bad guys Bloom always knew that if Magix ever needed her and her friends they would step up once more, whether it be with weapons or magic they would protect the world they lived in. They would fight for justice and love, fight for the people who adored them, the men who loved them and the children who followed them.

They would be the Winx Club, now and forever.

The End.

Thank almighty god it's done with! After almost a year of writing this long and complicated story I've finally finished it! This is like the moment you've just won an Oscar and you get up on stage and say "Oh lord...I've got nothing prepared!" There are so many people to thank, mainly I would like to thank a special few people who would always comment on my story and tell me to keep going and you know who you are! You guys are the ones that kept this story afloat.

Now to put you out of your misery I'm going to tell you that there shall be short stories that are centred in this stories universe that have all the characters you love! I've got two ideas in mind:

When the girls were working for Valtor and they have to break back into Alfea (The old pink one from before) and steal some sort of special...thing. And the guys are chasing them and blah blah blah, more to come on that one.

A story that is done a few months after graduation, its set in the day to day lives of the girls, there won't be a main bad guy since their lives are past that but there shall be complications. It's set in the minds of each of the not just Bloom. Still haven't figured out the end yet.

I'm probably going to attempt both and see how they turn out, they aren't going to be very long but they'll be interesting. NOW! I want comments people, to all those who have been reading my story from the get go and following it, let me know what you thought, you know you want too! Tell me your favourite characters or couples, funniest bit of the story that stuck out for you or the saddest or just your favourite line, I'm REALLY curious!

Lastly I would like to say that I'll be asking you for the opportunity to give me some ideas, like if you liked this universe of characters and want me to write a short story or in different perspectives in certain times, don't be shy, I love writing and would love to write some more!

Thank you SO much for your support, all you readers out there, I'm certain this is not the last story I'll be doing. OH! And I would love to read your own stories about the Winx Club if you have them, I'll be sure to comment and tell you how awesome they are!

Thank you! Goodbye, good luck...god bless...umm...farewell...uh let's see...see ya...and bye bye...cheers...and all that crap!
