Chapter 9
"Jason?!" Musa suddenly screamed in the middle of gossiping with her friends when she spotted the familiar light blonde hair and white suit. Jason turned around upon hearing his name and saw Musa right away. Musa ran up and hugged Jason before she noticed a little boy next to him.
"Who is this?" Musa said extending her hand to the boy who couldn't be more than 5 years old.
"My name is Jake." The boy said timidly, shaking Musa's hand.
Musa then remembered the people behind her starring at the exchange.
"Oh. Jason you remember the gang right? This is Bloom's sister Daphne, Daphne's husband Thoren, their son Theo, and Bloom's friend Micheal." Musa said introducing everyone.
A round of hi and hey went around before Jason spoke.
"You guys better do something on that stage." Jason joked pointing at the stage by the front of the restaurant.
The Winx huddled right after Jason joked. The rest of the group just laughed at them knowing how they always do that.
"Ready?" Aisha said loudly before everyone nodded.
Stella was about to snap her fingers and change her outfit before Tecna grabbed her hand.
"Stella, remember we have to live without magic." Tecna said almost scolding Stella.
"Oops. Sorry" Stella said sheepishly with her cheeks turning a slight pink tone.
"Let's just perform in our outfits now." Flora said taking the spotlight off Stella.
The girls walked on stage and picked up the instruments. Once they started playing the intro of the song, they got the whole restaurant's attention. Roxy was standing behind the bar area, leaning on the counter getting ready to savor the Winx's performance.

"That was amazing!" Roxy screamed running on stage once the Winx were done performing.
"Thanks Roxy." Flora said all smiles as they all hugged.
"Hey Bloom. I can't help but notice your ring. Where did you get it? Its gorgeous." Brandon said as he hugged Stella when they were off the stage.
Everyone looked at Bloom's finger and noticed the serious engagement ring on her hand.
"Well um..." Bloom did not know what to say. She looked over at Daphne for some help, when Thoren cut in.
"That's a ring I gave Daphne. Bloom borrowed it because she said it goes with her outfit." Thoren said making up something on the spot.
Bloom knew that lie would not pass since it was so obvious that Daphne was wearing her ring.
"I admire you for being so good at lying Thoren but that is not a ring you would give Daphne." Sky said in a bored tone as a pang of jealousy hit him.
"I did not lend her the ring because I decided I wanted to wear it." Daphne said nudging Thoren a bit before showing her hand.
"Yeah, um, this is a family heirloom that my parents gave before we left." Bloom said as she looked at Micheal who had a sympathetic smile.
"Sure Bloom. Whatever you say." Timmy said pulling Tecna away to a secluded area.
Bloom sat down on her seat feeling dizzy. She put her head in her hands and closed her eyes taking a few deep breathes.
"You okay Bloom?" Daphne asked sitting next to her.
Bloom just nodded and looked up at her sister. Bloom gave a weak smile before taking a sip if her drink.
"If you say so. But we are heading home now, its getting late and Theo needs to sleep." Daphne said standing up unsure if she should leave her sister alone.
"I could stay, if you want, and Thoren can bring Theo home. It's really no problem." Daphne hesitated knowing her sister does not like feeling sick.
"No, Daphne. I'm really fine." Bloom said a little irritated. She didn't realize her voice was loud and she started getting looks from the other costumers in the next tables.
"Daphne, you go home with Theo, he needs his mother. I'll stay with Bloom and take care of her. Besides Micheal and Sky are here too." Thoren said handing Theo to Daphne.
Upon hearing their names, Sky and Micheal promised Daphne they will take care of Bloom.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Daphne took Theo home.
——————
A couple of hours later after dancing, performing, and having fun, the Winx and Specialists decided to go back to the penthouse.
Despite Bloom's headache, she decided to join in the fun. They were now walking on the sidewalk towards the direction of the penthouse. Sky, Micheal, and Thoren were following Bloom closely in case something happened.
"Dude, Daphne will kill me if something happens to Bloom." Thoren whispered to Sky when Bloom was slowly walking behind the rest of the Specialists and Winx.
"I know right. Not to mention the Winx." Sky replied with a flash of fear in his eyes.
"Are they really that scary?" Michael questioned the two, not letting Bloom out of his sight.
"You wouldn't know." Thoren said with a shake of his head.
When they reached the penthouse, they were careful to be quiet as it was almost midnight. They all went to their respective rooms, took turns showering and changed into their PJs.
Bloom went out to the kitchen to get water and drink something for her headache. Stella and Aisha walked in to get a glass of water as well, surprising Bloom.
"Hey Bloom, we were gonna play Truth or Dare in our room. Wanna come?" Stella said enthusiastically with Aisha next to her smiling.
"Im sorry. I think I need to rest after the Day we've had." Bloom said with a small smile not reaching her eyes.
"Come on Bloom. Dont be a killjoy." Tecna said coming out of Stella and Aisha's room. The three of the dragged a reluctant Bloom into the room despite her headache.
" Riven, Truth or Dare?" Brandon asked almost shouting before everyone shushed him.
"Dare!" Riven said happily. Musa rolled her eyes as she knew he was going to regret his decision.
"I dare you to make out with the prettiest girl here for 3 minutes." Timmy said smiling broadly holding back his laugh.
"Why are you dragging me into this?" Musa exclaimed blushing knowing that Riven was going to choose her.
"Who said you're the prettiest here, babe?" Riven said smugly. Until Musa smacked him in the back of his head, as if saying to stop lying to himself.
"Your 3 minutes start...now." Sky said laughing with Thoren clutching their stomachs.
After Musa and Riven made out Bloom decided to go to bed because her headache was getting worse. "Sorry guys, I hate to say it but I'm not feeling well. I'm going to hit the hay." She said standing up, wobbling a little.
"Come on Bloom, we haven't asked you anything yet." Flora said helping Bloom sit down again.
"Truth or Dare?" Helia asked pitying Bloom.
"Truth." Bloom said quietly. Everyone looked at each other as if they had a mental conversation.
"What is the truth about that ring on your finger?" Stella said softly pointing to Bloom's finger.
"I told you already. It is a family heirloom." Bloom said knowing her lie was falling through the cracks.
"Bloom, we know you better than that." Sky said hoping Bloom will tell the truth.
"Its the truth." Bloom said looking at Michael.
"Ok. Um, Stella. Truth or Dare?" Thoren said trying to take the take the spotlight off Bloom as the tension in the room grew.
"Hold on." Stella said effectively shutting Thoren up.
"Last chance Bloom. Tell us the truth." Aisha said trying to stay calm.
They Specialists all stayed quiet knowing not to get involved when the Winx have a fight.
"We know, Bloom." Brandon said after a full minute of silence from everyone.
"Stella cast a spell and we heard your conversation with Daphne, Thoren, and Michael back in Domino." Timmy said quietly hoping that there was a small chance Bloom wouldn't hear him.
After that statement, all Bloom could see was red. "Well then, you know after all. So why bother asking me?" With that, she got up and stormed out of the room, slamming the door shut.

Hey guys! Long time no see?
This chapter is longer and I had fun writing the fight part because I want to show that even the Winx fight. Lol
Anyway. This chapter is longer that the others and I promise you I have a lot of ideas. I am sad to say that probably in less than 6 chapters, this series will come to an end. But who knows maybe I might write another series. Maybe next gen? What do you think? We shall see.
Comment. Vote. Follow.
Love ya!
