Sparks

Bloom was hugging Stormy, not wanting to let go. But she needed to. "Ummm, I don't know about you but I think we need to bathe and change."

Stormy wiped the tears from her eyes and pulled back to look at the gorgeous redheaded fairy. "Yeah, I could really go for a shower about now, but changing clothes might present a problem. I kinda only have the clothes I was wearing when we got here."

Bloom smiled. "No problem. I've got plenty you can borrow."

Stormy gave the fire fairy a frown. "Look, no offense but I really don't think fairy fashion is gonna work for me. I don't go for stuff that's pink or frilly or cutesy."

This caused the redhead to giggle. Stormy was right, of course, but Stella might have a word or two thousand on that subject. "It's just until we can get yours washed. No one will see you."

Stormy rolled her eyes and sighed. "Oh, alright, fine. I guess I can put up with it until we can get my stuff cleaned." Reluctantly disengaging from the redhead, she rolled over, sat up and picked up her top from where it had landed on the floor. Holding it up she cringed at the rips in the fabric. "Aw fuck. It's ruined! I shoulda paid more attention to what I was doing when I took it off." Remembering how out of control she was when she ripped her top off reminded the storm witch once again how badly she had mistreated Bloom. She glanced at the fairy with a guilty look and hung her head. "I guess that's the least of what I should have been thinking about though. I'm sorry Bloom. I just..."

The fire fairy stuck a finger in front of Stormy's lips. "Hush. You apologized, I accepted it. I don't want you to worry about it. You won't do it again. So..." Bloom got out of bed and walked over to her closet. Opening it, she started looking for something suitable for the blue-haired witch. She held out a pair of jeans and a blue-and-white striped top with a heart cut-out, one of her favorite outfits. "How about this?"

Stormy glanced over the outfit critically, crinkling up her lip in distaste. "You seriously expect me to wear something with a heart on it? I'd almost rather parade around naked."

The redhead giggled at the thought of a bare-assed Stormy wandering around Alfea. She continued looking, then pulled out a short red dress with flowers on it. "Any better?"

The storm witch rolled her eyes. "I'd never dare show my face around CT wearing something like that, but I suppose it'll do for this place."

Bloom handed the dress to Stormy. She ran her eyes up and down the half-naked witch, marveling at just how good the storm witch looked. Stormy noticed Bloom checking her out as she stripped off her skirt and accepted the dress to put on her pantie-clad body. She cocked her hips to one side and smirked at the fairy. "See something you like?"

The redhead licked her lips. "Yes" was all she said.

Stormy grinned as she raised the dress over her head and slipped it on, giving the fairy's topless body a quick once-over herself as she settled the garment into place. "Good, cuz I'd hate to think I wasn't giving good value for the view I'm getting from over here."

This caused Bloom to laugh. Walking over to Stormy she put her arms around the blue-haired witch's neck and kissed her. Stormy threaded her arms around Bloom's waist as she kissed her back. It still felt weird in a way, kissing someone who used to be her enemy, but it was starting to feel a little more natural each time. As they broke the kiss she placed a hand upon Bloom's left breast. "You might wanna put your shirt back on until we get to your shower. Be bad enough having to explain to your friends what I'm doing here if they see us without having to explain why you're topless."

The fire fairy retrieved her top and quickly put it on. She then went to the door and opened it a crack. Peering out she slowly opened it more, wanting it ensure no one else was in the common area. Seeing the coast clear, she motioned for Stormy to follow her. The pair quickly moved to the bathroom where the redhead moved through the open door and ushered Stormy inside. Once in she closed the door. She began to gather her soap and shampoo for the storm witch. "Why don't you go first? I'll watch the dorm."

Stormy eyed the shower stall as she pulled her borrowed dress up her body and over her head to remove it. "I dunno. That shower looks big enough for three or four people at least. Sure you don't wanna join me instead?"

This caught the redhead's attention. Quickly locking the door she turned to Stormy. "Don't have to ask me twice!" She quickly began to undress, throwing her top on the floor, kicking off her sneakers and leaving her jeans where she stepped out of them.

By this time Stormy had slipped her purple panties off and stepped out of them and was working on removing her high-heeled shoes. As she straightened back up, fully naked, she noticed with a touch of jealousy that without her heels she now stood half a head shorter than Bloom. Well, she supposed she'd just have to stretch to match her new lover. Not like she wasn't used to being around taller people all the time anyway. She walked over to the redhead and placed her hands on Bloom's hips, sliding them down inside her panties to cup her butt cheeks. "This is so weird. Not that I don't totally love the way you have no problem stripping off around me but I kinda woulda figured a fairy would be a bit more modest about this sort of thing."

Again, this took the redhead by surprise. Stormy was right, she was usually quite modest. Especially in front of Flora, who in turn was equally modest. But Stormy wasn't her roommate, she was her lover. And that very thought made her want to be naked for her all the time. Putting her hands around Stormy's waist she commented, "True, but around you I don't want to be for some reason. You don't mind, I hope?"

Stormy pulled herself in closer, gazing up into her lover's eyes. "Mind? I wish I could get you to stay naked all the time!" Pushing herself up on her toes she pressed her lips to Bloom's while her hands fondled the fire fairy's butt cheeks and started to work her panties down around her thighs.

Bloom moaned into Stormy's mouth as her own hands ran up and down the blue-haired girl's back. Finally she slipped her hands down to Stormy's ass, running her fingers down into her crack and teasingly stroking between her thighs.

Stormy shuddered at this intimate intrusion. Breaking the kiss, she slipped down the front of Bloom's body, pulling the fire fairy's panties down with her and helping her out of them as she stripped the redhead's socks off too. She gave Bloom's pussy a brief but passionate kiss before standing back up to take hold of her hands and lead her toward the shower stall. "Come on! If we're gonna get dirty again we might as well do it while we're getting clean."

Bloom drew back the shower curtain, then put her soap, shampoo and other bath items on the shelf. She turned on the water which got hot immediately (magic did have it's practical uses as well) and ushered Stormy inside.

Stormy moaned appreciatively as she felt the hot water cascading down her body. Not only had it been a couple of days since she'd been able to get a proper shower but it had been years since the shower in their dorm back at Cloud Tower had started out warm. Icy had long since disabled the heating spell on the shower, personally preferring to shower in water as cold as possible most often, and it was always a pain waiting for the water to warm up. She turned to draw Bloom under the water with her and drew the fairy's head down to kiss her once again.

The fire fairy closed her eyes and melted into the combination of hot water and an even hotter kiss. She never wanted this to end.

Stormy parted her lips and let her tongue probe against Bloom's lips as her hands slowly worked their way down the redhead's shoulders and chest, toying playfully with the other girl's breasts.

Bloom leaned her head back, enjoying the sensations. Suddenly there was a loud pounding on the door, followed by a yell. "Dammit, who locked the door!" It was Stella. Bloom swore under her breath. Stella seemed to have a bladder the size of a pea. That coupled with the fact she hated using any other bathroom than the one in their apartment was a bit of a problem. In the past the girls agreed not to lock the door unless they were using the toilet so Stella could enter and use it while they showered. It was a bit of an embarrassment but it was something they did to avoid arguments with the sun fairy. But she'd locked the door for a shower...

Stormy had just started nibbling at Bloom's neck when the noise from outside startled her. She quickly pulled back and looked up at Bloom. "Dammit! What the hell's her problem?"

Bloom sighed. "It's Stella. She's needs the toilet and I've locked the door."

Stormy scowled at that. "Well tell her to wait. We're busy."

Bloom peeked past the shower curtain and called out toward the door. "Stella, We... I'm in the shower. Can you give me a minute?"

Stella's voice sounded agitated and anxious. "Just put a towel on and let me in already! Listening to that water running is making me have to go really bad out here and I don't know how much longer I can hold it!"

Bloom put her hand over Stormy's mouth. "I've got to let her in. Just stay behind the curtain and please be quiet!"

Stormy scrunched up her face in a frown but nodded silently as the fire fairy slipped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself to let the sun fairy in. The moment the door lock clicked open the door was thrust open and the blond fashion maven came bursting into the room, shoving Bloom back behind the door in her haste. "Thanks Bloom! Sorry! Out of my way!" In a flash she had her skirt pulled up around her waist, her panties pulled down, and her ass plunked down on the toilet seat. In the shower Stormy squeezed her eyes shut and stifled a groan as the sound of Stella's pee pouring into the toilet bowl filled the air.

The redhead stayed behind the door, figuring it was the safest place to be. She didn't dare open the curtain and get back into the shower lest Stormy be discovered. Glancing out from behind the door she noticed all the clothes on the floor. Not only was it not like her to leave her clothes just lying about like that but there were too many of them. She hoped Stella wouldn't notice, but being the fashion queen of Alfea she almost certainly would.

Stella sighed in relief as her bladder quickly emptied itself. Taking some toilet paper to pat herself dry she looked up at Bloom with an embarrassed smile. "Sorry Bloom, but you know how it is. When I gotta go, I gotta go! Why'd you go and lock the door on me anyway? You know I've got a small bladder and what the heck are your clothes doing all over the floor? I mean I almost tripped over your shoes on my way in and... Wait a minute. How come there's two sets of clothes here?" Standing up and pulling her panties back up, she picked up Bloom's bell-bottoms and Stormy's borrowed dress off the floor. "Jeans and a dress? Dahling, that's a total atrocity against fashion! And wait, why do I see two pairs of shoes here? And two pairs of panties?" Strange contortions marched across her face as she tried to work out the fashion logistics of one person trying to wear all those clothes at the same time.

Bloom's mind searched for any sort of plausible answer but couldn't come up with one. She decided to grasp at straws. "I... I... umm... brought all these as I wasn't sure what I wanted to wear." As the words left her lips she shuddered at just how lame the excuse was.

Stella narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the redhead. "That still doesn't explain why they're all over the floor. It looks more like you were taking them off and just dumped them wherever. But that doesn't make any sense. One person couldn't wear all these clothes at the same time unless you had a pair of panties on your head and shoes on your hands. And just why would you need to decide between two different pairs of panties unless you planned on letting someone see them... Or someone already has!" Her eyes went wide as she glanced at the curtained shower and back at Bloom. "Is there someone else in there?"

*Oh God* the fire fairy thought. There was no escape now. And there was no even reasonable explanation for this. Bloom remained rooted where she was, unable to say a word.

The deer-in-the-headlights look on Bloom's face was all the answer Stella needed. She turned to face the shower and reached out to grab hold of the curtain. "Alright you in there! Come on out!" She yanked the curtain aside, revealing a naked girl with light blue hair slanting down on either side of her head and wide brown eyes trying to cover herself with her hands. Stormy stared back at her as she twisted to one side in embarrassment. "Hey! Ya mind?"

Stella glanced back at Bloom in total perplexity. "Who the heck is this and what is she doing in our shower?"

*She transformed back into Bryci!* That wasn't something the redhead had expected. But at least this was a bit easier to explain than Stormy right now. "Ummm... this is my study partner Bryci."

Stella folded her arms and frowned at the fire fairy. "And just what were you two 'studying' in the shower together? Human anatomy?"

Stormy scowled at the blonde's back. "Hey! I needed a shower and she offered to do my back. Now if you'll excuse me?" The blue-haired witch yanked the shower curtain closed, grumbling about inconsiderate dormmates.

The blush on Bloom's face was even redder than her hair. Still, she needed to say something to Stella. And since this was all going to come out anyway... "Bryci and I are, well..." She left out the last word, figuring Stella could fill in the blank.

Stella stared at the redhead incredulously. "Are you serious? This is... But what about... Okay, maybe not after what happened but still... Bloom, this is crazy! You're not thinking straight! You can't just go jumping in bed with some random girl just because one guy hurts you! What were you thinking?"

Bloom's face turned into a mask of rage. "Thinking?! Bryci's shown she cares for me more than that bastard 'Brandon' ever did! And I can't believe you're defending them! Your 'Sky' lied to you too! Did either of them ever say one word of truth to either of us?!" She fell silent at that point, out of breath. Suddenly she broke into tears, hiding her face in her hands. As she did so her towel fell off and puddled around her feet.

Stella rocked back in shock at Bloom's violent reaction. She had known Bloom was hurting over what had happened, but this? The sudden shocking sight of Bloom standing there naked and crying struck her in ways she found very uncomfortable to contemplate. She had no idea what to do or what to say at that point. "Bloom... I..."

Just then the shower curtain pulled back once again and "Bryci" stepped out of the shower to move over next to the redhead, not bothering with a towel herself. Shooting a nasty look at the Solarian princess she placed an arm around Bloom and pulled the sobbing naked girl against her side. "Come on Bloom. Forget about it. The guy's not worth it. Come on." Gently she guided Bloom past a totally stunned Stella and back into the shower.
