Trouble

[Demeter]

"I... ah... it is," Flora said, looking ashamed. "The dark thing I had become supposedly did that to her. I don't really remember. I have no memories of anything from you knocking me out until a few minutes ago."

[Layla]

Layla nodded as she interjected, "It's true, Professor; up until a few minutes ago, Bloom and I were fighting Demeter and then somehow Flora managed to break free from Darkar's control." At this, Layla squeezed Flora's hand supportively.

[Palladium]

Palladium sighed as he replied, "I suppose I shouldn't expect you to remember anything, Flora; after all, your mind has most certainly endured a great deal of stress. I should actually be surprised that you remember as much as you do; most people who suffer from that much strain often have temporary amnesia in regards to every aspect of their life. Even though that is not the case for you, I still recommend that you get as much rest as possible in the next few days, all right? Now then, I suppose we ought to find a way to bring Bloom inside."

[Demeter]

Flora nodded. Rest would do her good. Hopefully, he wouldn't try to take her back while she slept. That thought alone terrified her. "Professor? She won't be stuck like that forever, will she?"

[Palladium]

Looking down at Bloom, Palladium frowned, as he replied quietly, "I hope not." Waving aside this thought, Palladium continued as he drummed his fingers against his lips, "We need something to lift her up in . . . let's see . . . what spell, what spell?"

[Layla]

Layla smiled as she replied, "I've got this one, Professor." Standing up, Layla again manipulated the Morfix, this time turning the bathtub that Bloom was resting in into a bathtub with wheels and a handle for pushing. Stepping back, Layla held her hands up as she said, "Voila. Easy transportation."

[Demeter]

Flora clapped her hands. "Utterly brilliant, Layla," she chimed. She only hoped that Bloom would forgive her later.

[Bloom]

Bloom began to come to come around. Groaning she rubbed the back of her head. "What happened?"

[Layla]

"Hey there, sweetie," Layla greeted as she leaned over the tub. "You were out cold for a while there - had us worried." Pausing for a moment, she then asked hopefully, "You feeling any better?"

[Bloom]

"Depends what you mean by better? I can breath but am still a fish."

[Demeter]

Flora flinched at Bloom's reaction and she took to standing behind the good professor. She didn't want to know how Bloom would react to seeing her and somehow - she was quite scared to find out.

[Bloom]

"What happened to Demeter?" Bloom finally asked, trying to think through a pounding headache.

[Demeter]

"She went poof," Flora answered. She was kind of curious as how Bloom would react to knowing that Demeter was gone and that Flora was back. She hoped it wouldn't be firework worthy.

[Bloom]

"Poof?" Bloom asked before shutting her eyes in pain. "Layla, what happened to your voice?" Bloom asked not completely thinking clearly. The last thing she remembered was her and Layla fighting Demeter. And if Demeter went poof, who else was left?

[Demeter]

"Well, for starters, my name isn't Layla. At least not according to what I remember," Flora said. "Think. And it isn't Tecna. And it isn't Musa or Stella. So who's left, Bloom?"
