Moonlight Dwelling

A scream sent Bloom running. She found Stella in front of the mirror with blue skin. She had to bite her lip to avoid bursting into laughter at this funny sight.

"Stella what happened?"

"I'm blue Bloom!"

"I can see that but how?"

Stella turned away from the mirror and sat down. Bloom could almost see the steam rising from her very angry friend. She walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Stella what a great idea for a costume."

Amore had just flown into the room.

"Costume?"

Amore flew closer to Bloom scared by the tone of Stella's voice.

"Stella calm down."

"You want me to calm down I'm blue Bloom!"

"Try okay Amore didn't mean anything by it.

Bloom turned to Amore and asked her to go find Flora. Amore was only too happy to do so since Stella was pretty scary when she was angry. She flew off without looking back.

"I scared her didn't I?"

"Well maybe a little but you can apologize later. Tell me what happened."

"I tried doing a Replication Spell for my beauty cream that I was running low on and now I'm blue."

"You know Amore was right this would make an awesome costume."

"A blue girl?"

"Back on Earth there's this cartoon called The Smurfs. They are little blue people."

"You're joking?"

"No. Well Smurfette is a girl smurf with long blonde hair. She wears a white cap with a white dress and shoes to match. She is quite popular among the other smurfs."

Bloom decided not to mention the fact that Smurfette was the only girl smurf since that was besides the point.

"Sounds like my kind of girl. Can you get me a vide of it? I think I might dress up as her for Halloween."

"Sure no problem."

Bloom was relieved that Stella had calmed down.

"I know what we could all go to Earth for the weekend and have a Smurfathon."

Stella hugged Bloom.

"Thanks Bloom."

"No problem after all what are friends for."

Bloom was talking about smurfs when Flora walked in. She had a vial with her,

"Stella just drink this to get back to your normal skin color."

Stella grabbed the vial and drank it.

"Thanks darling you're a life saver."

"No problem sweetie."

Flora sat down and Stella filled her on what had happened including the need to go blue again to complete her costume.

"I'll make sure to have more of my Fader Potion for you."

"Just out of curiosity Flora why did you create this potion?"

Flora smiled and blushed.

"I had a really bad sunburn and I didn't want Helia to see me looking like a tomato so I whipped this up."

"You go girl."
