Bloom forced their weary eyes open as she struggled to sit up. She scanned the room, only to find Jesse and Ms. F lying down beside her. Shelby and Brianna remained on the floor as well. But where was Baltor?

"Come on guys. Wake up. Baltor's gone," Bloom said as she shook Jesse and Ms. F awake.

Jesse groaned and rubbed his head, "Ow my head is throbbing. We need to get out of here, and fast!"

"Wait! Listen," Bloom said as the three heard distant voices.

"I think that's Sky and Brandon! Follow me children," Ms. Faragonda said as she slipped out her wand. She closed her eyes and recited a few words, a bright light shined from the tip of the magical rod.

"They're over here," she said as she guided them to a dark room. Jesse slammed the door open and found Sky and Brandon, a cloth tied to their mouths and handcuffs clasped to their wrists to two chairs.

"Sky! I'm so glad to see you!" Bloom cried as she hurried to take the cloth and handcuffs off of the two, "And omg, Stella's going to be so happy to hear that you're safe, Brandon."

"What did Baltor do to you guys," Jesse said.

"What does it look like he did? Tied us up to these chairs and left us here, duh." Brandon said in an unfriendly manner.

"Now students, please. No more lolly gagging. We must go to Alfea immediately. Now come on," Ms. F said as she opened a portal with her wand.

Alfea

"Stella! Stella! I'm back! It's me, Bloom! Come on Stella! Open up! I got great news!"

Stella unlocked the door bitterly, "What now? Let me guess, you're getting married with Sky AND Jesse?"

"Come on Stel. Please listen to me. You're acting really unfair, you just gotta hear me out! Look, that day when you saw me and Jesse hugging, it wasn't what it looked like. I swear! He was just trying to protect me from all of those rocks that were falling on us. Please Stella. You have to believe me." Bloom said, tears flowing out of her eyes, "I'm really tired, I didn't have any time to rest, and the fact that you're mad at me really makes me upset. Just believe please! I really miss my friend."

Stella looked at Bloom sympathetically as she gave a tiny grin, "Aww, how sweet. But guess what…I've had enough of your drama queen act so get the heck out of here, okay? And that whole speech you just recited isn't gonna change anything! And by the way, YOU'RE the one being unfair for betraying your own best friend! You're a sick, SICK person Bloom! You're a lousy, selfish, greedy, boyfriend-stealing jerk! And I'm so mad at you for making me say that! Now just leave me alone!!!"

Just before Bloom began to burst into tears, there was a knock at the door. Stella angrily got up to get it.

"Hey, just dropped by to give you these," Zac said handing Stella a basket of fruit, "My friend just came to my dorm and gave it to me. And let me tell you, I'm not much of a fruit-eater so I was wondering if you liked them.

"Zac?" Bloom said surprisingly.

"Oh how sweet are you? Bringing me a bunch of delicious…uh…healthy food." Stella said to Zac sweetly, ignoring Bloom's comment, "You deserve a big, bear hug!"

The two gave each other a warm embrace as Bloom watched enviously at them, "So this is your plan huh? Trying to make me jealous by flirting with each other? Well you know what? Fine, don't believe me. Don't believe when I say that I wasn't three timing you. Don't believe me when I say that I wasn't betraying you. Cause guess what. I bet right now you didn't even know Sky and Brandon are back. I bet later when you do find out that I really wasn't deceiving you guys that you'll all just regret it. That's right. Bloom, out!"

And with that, she trudged out, leaving Stella and Zac speechless.

Baltor

"Don't make me repeat myself girls," Baltor yelled, "WHERE ARE THOSE DWEEBY BRANDON AND SKY BOYS?"

"Actually Daddy, they're pretty cute." Brianna began. She saw how her father glared at her and spoke, "I mean, yeah where are those brats?"

"I'm pretty sure we left them here, tied up in this room." Shelby said.

"Well duh. Bloom, her granny, and that hot blonde dude probably released them and escaped. Thanks for covering what is frankly described as OBVIOUS!" Brianna explained to her "smart" sister.

"And guess who's gonna get them back?" Baltor said wittingly as Brianna and Shelby groaned.

Jesse and Zac

Zac opened his dorm door. Jesse was sitting quietly on his bed with his headphones on, "Hey bro. Look, what you saw back that was all just a big misunderstanding. You know that right?"

Zac ignorantly walked to the bathroom, "Whatever."

Jesse turned off his music player and stood in front of the open door as Zac started to gel his hair, "You don't sound too happy. Are you okay?"

"Yeah man. I mean, c'mon. It was just some freak thing right? Don't worry. I feel you. I understand perfectly what was going on." Zac said with a cool attitude.

"Well that's a relief. I'm really glad you're not taking this the wrong way. I hope Stella understands." Jesse responded.

"Yeah, well, speaking of Stella….since you're not really into her anymore…I was just thinking…"

Jesse looked at him a bit perplexed, "What are you talking about? And what do you mean I'm not into her? What makes you say that?"

Zac stepped out of the bathroom and grabbed a soda out of their mini fridge, "Well you know, since you and Bloom are at it together, I was just gonna ask Stella out, you know…just to get to know her a little better."

"WHAT?" Jesse shouted, "I thought you said you did understand what happened before. And now you're just going to go and start asking my girlfriend out? Dude, what's going on?"

"Girlfriend? Please…"Zac began, "Stella's not into you Jess. Not anymore. After what we saw that day, we decided that being with you and Bloom wasn't such a good idea anymore. And pretty soon, we just started bonding together. So here we are now…going out together. You don't mind do you? I mean, you have Bloom with you right?

"Wha….I don't believe this! Are you feeling okay? Zac, you can't go out with her!"

"WHY? Why can't I? Why can't I go out with just this one girl? WHY? Is it cause you want to be some kind of pimp and date two girls at once? Why Jesse, why? You know dude, I thought you were my friend and now you're going to bale on me for some girls. Well three words bro…I DON'T CARE! I'm going to date whoever I want and you're not gonna stop me!"

"Look, you're not gonna make some big deal out of this are you? That day all I was doing with Bloom was just protecting her from all those rocks that were falling on us! I have no interest in her whatsoever! Why can't you understand that?"

"And why can't you just admit that you're just being a stupid idiot who just wants to be some stupid player? Look man, I'm dating that girl and that's that!" Zac screamed as he walked out of the dorm and slammed the door behind him.

Sky and Brandon

"Wow, our room looks the same…messy." Sky stated as he and Brandon returned to their dorm.

"I'm going to take a shower. Can you pass me my towel over there?" Brandon said after taking off his shirt.

Sky tossed the towel to his friend and slouched down on the couch. He flipped on the TV and opened up a bag of Doritos. Just as he turned on MTV, there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?"

"Hey Sky. It's me." A calm, feminine voice replied.

Sky swung open the door, "Bloom! What are you doing here? It's pretty late isn't it? Shouldn't you being getting your beauty rest like Stella?"

Bloom smiled faintly, "Is it okay if I crashed here for tonight?"

Sky looked at her hesitantly, "What happened to your dorm? Is Stella cleaning out her huge closet and there isn't any room for you to stay?"

Bloom looked down at her shoes, "Let's just say, she and I had I bit of a misunderstanding."

Sky stared, confused, "Umm, okay. Well you can sleep on my bed tonight. Come on in."

Zac and Stella

"Hey sweet thang." Zac said as he met Stella, "Looking good."

Stella smirked, "Well you know how I do."

She looked down at her perfectly matched outfit. Her sparkly aqua tube top went flawlessly with her matching aqua wedges and jean shorts. A vintage bag hung over her shoulders along with a pair of hoops and bangles. Stella then glimpsed at what her date was wearing. A white and navy striped shirt with medium faded low rise jeans and a pair of navy converse. Casual, yet sophisticated was his look.

"Come on. Let's go." Zac said.

"Where can we go at this hour? It's like 12:30 already!" Stella retorted.

"Bex Meax."

Stella squinted her eyes at him, "Come again? Bee Mall? You know I'm bad at Spanish."

Zac laughed, "It's French. And it's pronounced Ba Moo. It's like this really nice club. My friend invited me over for his birthday party. You know, that guy that brought me that fruit basket. I thought I'd be lonely so I asked you to come with me."

"Ooh, I love clubs! It's like my favorite place to go…after the mall of course!"

"Alrightie then. Let's go dance the night away and forget all our miseries!" Zac said.

"Yeah baby!" Stella cried as the two giggled, hand in hand.

Bex Meax

Music blasted from the stereos as the DJ flipped on Rihanna's hit, "Umbrella."

"Ugh, I hate this song! It's so stupid, singing about the rain." Shelby shouted, competing with the loud noises.

Brianna rolled her eyes, "My God Shelby? How stupider can one get? It has nothing to do with the rain! There's like, so much more meaning to that song and you're dancing here, complaining how singing about the rain is dumb? Well girl, I'm afraid to say this but, YOU'RE the dumb one!

Shelby stuck out her tongue and turned to look around, "Ooo, cute guy approaching nine o'clock!"

Brianna whirled around but saw nothing but a fat guy dancing around like a maniac. She then turned to look where Shelby was looking, "That's six o'clock you doofus!"

She took a deep breath and calmly got a clearer glimpse of this "cute" guy her dopey sister was talking about, "He does look a bit handsome. Wait, he's with some other girl…she looks familiar…hey, wait a minute…long blonde hair…stylish outfit…that's got to be that Stella twirp!"

Shelby looked closer after hearing the blonde's name, "Hey it is! And that dude is that Zac person right?"

Brianna overlooked her sister's childish comment and started to the bathroom. Shelby ran along.

"Alright, transformalize," Brianna magically said as her face began to change. Her eyes became of a smaller blue along with her hair. She looked totally different from the way she used to be.

"Wow, you look awesome," Shelby replied after seeing her alteration, "My turn…transformalize."

And with that, she had herself a new makeover as well. The two then concealed tiny bottles of shiny, lima green fluid inside their jean pockets.

"Okay let's rock this sucker!"

Sky and Brandon…and Bloom

"Whoa!" Brandon shrieked when he saw Bloom resting her head on Sky's shoulder as they watched TV together, "My bad. Didn't mean to intrude."

Bloom laughed, "Hey Brandon. Don't worry. You didn't interfere with anything. You mind if I slept over here tonight?"

Brandon looked at her and shrugged his shoulders recklessly, "Don't matter to me."

Bloom smiled slightly and looked glumly back at the television that was playing CSI as she remembered her big fight with Stella. Sky glanced at her sad face, "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Still melancholy was Bloom.

Sky stroked her silky, red hair, "Hey you wanna go clubbing with me? I just remembered, my friend Luke invited me and Bran to his birthday party at Bex Meax. It's gonna be fun!"

Bloom grinned, "Alright fine. Let's go."

Back at Bex Meax

Stella rocked the dance floor with her smooth moves along with Zac to guide her by her side. The two practically went crazy when the rock songs played, then went back to serenity when the ballads began. Soon they grew tired and flopped back onto the couches.

"Wow, you're really good," Zac complimented Stella's dancing, "Cocktail?"

Stella nodded as Zac stood up to get two drinks. He walked jadedly to the punch table.

Meanwhile Stella looked around the room, wondering if she saw anyone she knew. Then…she thought too soon.

There they were…the two hottie blonde and brunette Red Fountain boys and that red head…that lousy, selfish, greedy, boyfriend-stealing jerk!

"Hey Luke," Sky and Brandon greeted their friend as they stepped closer into the room, "And this is Bloom."

"Pleased to meet you. Looking stunning tonight. Can I get you a drink?" Luke asked welcomingly to Bloom after seeing her striking outfit. She was clothed with a black and white cameo babydoll dress over layers of tanks, dark skinny jeans, and some matching black metallic flats. White beads hung around her neck along with a matching silver bag, perfectly accessorizing the finishing touches of her gorgeous outfit.

"Come on, let's dance." Sky said as he pulled Bloom to the middle of the dance floor. Brandon went to meet his other friends.

Bloom wrapped her arms around Sky's neck as they danced gracefully along with the soft music (it was playing Wait For You by Elliot Yamin).

She looked at Sky's outfit; a solid pink shirt and light washed, destroyed jeans, "You look really nice tonight."

Sky smiled, "I know."

Stella watched as the two danced, "I knew she was cheating on Zac. So pathetic!"

Back at the drink table, Zac and Luke were still pouring some cocktail juice. Behind them, two girls came, each holding bottles of green liquid. They chanted a few words and poured the liquid over Zac and Luke's head. Soon the guys stood still, almost as if they were petrified. The two girls dragged the boys into the bathroom and quickly disappeared back to their home…where Baltor was awaiting them.

Stella got up, "Wonder what's taking Zac so long with the drinks. Oh well."

She stepped out of the room and hurried to the bathroom with her makeup bag. Bloom unknowingly went to the bathroom as well.

She had strode inside just when Stella began to apply her blush, "What are you doing here?"

Stella turned to look at her, "What do you mean what am I doing here? What are you doing here?"

Bloom rolled her eyes, "I have no time to argue. I need to pee."

After finishing her business, Bloom walked up to the sink to wash her hands. Stella was still smearing makeup on herself, only this time she was putting on her eye shadow.

"So why'd you stalk me all the way here with Sky and Brandon? Was it so you can try to win my friendship with you back or to four time Zac with Brandon too?" Stella snapped haughtily.

"You know what? I had enough of your annoying comments. Look, you don't have to believe me when I say I wasn't cheating on Zac or betraying you, but you also don't have to act all mean thinking you're all that!" Bloom replied angrily back.

"Oh look who's talking Ms. I Have A Crush On Every Guy In RF And I Think It's Okay To Steal Other Friends' Boyfriends!" Stella yelled.

"What's with you Stel? I was your closest friend, your BEST friend and you can't even trust me when I speak the truth? I was always there for you, all the way! And now all you're going to do is just sit back and put your makeup on? Some friend you are!"

Stella glared, "Well the world has been set right now. We're not friends anymore."

She packed up all her makeup and stormed out of the bathroom. Bloom stared at her reflection from the mirror in front of her, wiping away the last tear she shed for Stella.
