Bloom and Sky/Comics

Season 1
Much like the animated series, Bloom and Sky first meet on the day Bloom first met Stella and learned that she was truly a fairy. Retold in Issue 4 (which follows the first episode), Bloom and Stella fought against Knut, his ghouls and a Hunting Troll that had broken into Bloom's home in Gardenia to steal Stella's sceptre. During the fight, Bloom was able to channel her magic and give Knut and his gang a run for their money with the sheer power behind her attacks. Just as the two of them were going to do away with Knut and his gang, a portal opened up just behind the pair and Bloom instinctively attacked the person who stepped out of the portal believing that they yet another monster. Stella then explains to Bloom that the boy she just attacked was not a monster but a member of a squad of Specialists from Red Fountain that she is friends with.

The sight of the Specialists causes Knut to flee with his ghouls through the use of another portal and, with all threats out of the way, Stella formally introduces Bloom to the Specialists. Sky, who has assumed the name "Brandon" at the time, is the first to take off his helmet and greet Bloom. He jokes over hoping that Bloom has a memory as good as her powers so that she will be able to remember him and not blast him in the face the next time they meet. Bloom sheepishly apologizes, hoping that there are no hard feelings between them, and Brandon confirms this as he helps his friends apprehend the Hunting Troll. He is also the last of the Specialists to leave as he sees both Bloom and Stella off before going back through the portal he originally came out of. Bloom and Brandon do not see each other again until the Traditional Meeting Dance between the Alfea Fairies and the Specialists of Red Fountain that had occurred in Issue 2.

After the Winx execute their first counterspell and turned the contents of the magical eggs that the Specialists brought as presents back to normal, Stella pulls Bloom and the girls out onto the dance floor to celebrate and enjoy the party. As they hang out, Brandon and Bloom spot each other from across the room and Brandon approaches Bloom to give her a magical egg. Rainbow butterflies swirl around the pair as Brandon invites Bloom to dance with him and the Winx watch on as the two of them dance. The day after the dance, Bloom recounts what happened during the rest of the dance to the Winx in Issue 3. Bloom sheepishly admits to being so shy that she did not know what to do but she was able to approach Brandon out by the balcony where the two chatted. Somehow their conversation became awkward as Brandon basically shook her hand before walking off somewhere else while they were talking about Bloom being from Earth. This causes the girls to joke around over how Bloom may have "overwhelmed" Brandon into making him speechless while Stella thinks that he just a strange one.

The next day, Brandon and Prince Sky are tasked with transporting the Hunting Troll they caught back to a protected territory where they can set him free but, unbeknownst to them, the forcefield cage that the Troll is contained in had been tampered with. The two boys take off to complete their mission while, at the same time, the girls are going through their physical exercises, during which they officially establish the Winx Club and the club oath.

Prince Sky catches sight of the girls from overhead just as the girls notice their shuttle and go running to where the boys end up having it land. While Prince Sky thinks that greeting the girls could not do any harm, Brandon insists that they need to prioritize their mission and only leaves the shuttle reluctantly since Prince Sky landed it already. While outside, Brandon and Bloom have a rather unexpected reunion where Brandon even tells Bloom that Sky should not have landed the shuttle because of the risks that could come with it. Brandon's patience quickly wears thin when Sky decides to take Stella out on a joyride, directly going against their mission, as Bloom and the Winx remain clueless to the gravity of the situation. This causes him to shout over how Sky is practically a goner since the only one he has with him is "just a girl" who would not be able to lend much of a hand at defeating beasts like Hunting Trolls, and his comments offend Bloom as she thinks that Brandon is underestimating them. This causes the first major argument between the budding couple as the two practically butt heads as they search for their friends, despite Brandon acting like he was ready to compromise.

Eventually, the pair stop to rest on a log somewhere in the woods, where Brandon finally apologizes for offending Bloom when he did not mean to. The two of them begin to bond with Bloom expressing how happy she is at Alfea being able to depend on such wonderful friends and Brandon revealing the true nature of his relationship with Sky as his squire. Their conversation is interrupted by Brandon picking up an emergency signal from Sky's transmitter and the two of them rush back to the training grounds to get Brandon's hoverbike to answer the distress signal, especially after Brandon explains that he cannot call for backup because of Sky directly disobeying orders earlier. Luckily, the two arrive just in time to rescue Stella and help Sky fend off the Hunting Trolls but the boys are quickly overwhelmed by the beasts' brute strength. Brandon ends up being punched to the ground by one of these Trolls and seeing this causes Bloom to become so overcome by her rage that she transforms and blows the Trolls away with her powers. Afterwards, she falls out of her fairy form and rushes to Brandon's aid, assuring him that everything is alright thankfully when he regains consciousness.

By sunset, the Winx are back at their dorm while Brandon and Sky were able to get back to Red Fountain without anyone suspecting them of going against their mission. However, the boys learn that the forcefield cage holding the Hunting Troll was sabotaged which completely frees Prince Sky of the blame. Brandon realizes that one of the king's many enemies had made their way to Red Fountain to kill them and the instructor advises that the both of them, mainly Prince Sky, be more careful from now on. Though the two are adamant about being seen as just friends despite their obviously budding feelings for one another, the two still go out of their way to help one another, with one notable case being in Issue 5, where Brandon shows concern for Bloom when he sees that she is not with the Winx and is quick to join their search (along with his friends) for her after being told of her sudden disappearance. However, Bloom and Brandon still have their fair share of petty squabbles as, in the beginning of Issue 6, Brandon shows clear signs of jealousy after seeing how popular Bloom seems to be becoming as a waitress for the White Horse Café. Luckily for them, Timmy tries to change the subject which allows for Bloom to talk about all the incredible stories she gets to hear from explorers that come by to rest, like with how Musa is already doing with some other girls. Unfortunately, the two still seem to be sour with each other as they do not even face each other when Bloom has to get back to work and Brandon is still very visibly pouting.

The two do not see each other again until the next day as the Specialists had been tasked with searching the Black Mud Swamp for nightmare monsters messing with the ecosystem. At the same time, the Winx are also on an assignment to collect medicinal herbs for their potionology homework. The two groups find each other in the middle of the Swamp but they cannot afford to hang around, especially not after the Specialists had discovered the presence of a ferocious being lurking somewhere under the Swamp's murky depths.

The boys (excluding Riven) try to warn the girls of the monster's presence, but it is too late as the monster leaps out from the river separating the two groups to attack the Winx. The two groups quickly try to combat the monster but the fight is made even harder when a sudden storm covers the Swamp, which gives them no other option but to flee. During their escape, Brandon pulls Bloom aside to keep her from being swallowed up by a wave of swamp-water and the two end up on an island in the middle of a large river separated from their friends. Brandon gives Bloom his cloak so that she can keep warm and decides to build a shelter for the two of them to wait out the storm since it will take far too long for Prince Sky and the others to get help.

After getting the shelter and a fire up, Brandon and Bloom sit by the fire for warmth. It is then where Bloom tells Brandon to come under the cloak with her and as the two snuggle up, Brandon proposes that they make up from their little squabble the day before. Bloom agrees and Brandon kisses her on the top of her head as she holds him close. Hours later, the two are found and rescued by Codatorta.

Once night falls and everyone is back at their respective schools, Stella tries to get Bloom to talk about what happened between her and Brandon on the small island since they were alone for such a long time. Bloom insists that nothing happened and changes the subject by asking Musa how everything went for her.

Brandon and Bloom continue to be on good terms with each other and learn little things about the other as they hang out more, like in Issue 8, where Bloom learns that Brandon is not so skillful when it comes to hard labor despite being a squire. Unfortunately, this period in their friendship does not last long as Bloom finds out the shocking truth about Brandon in Issue 10. Bloom has been devastated for the past few days after learning that the boy whom she thought was Brandon actually turned out to be the real Crown Prince Sky of Eraklyon. To make matters worse, Sky already had a prior engagement to Diaspro, the Princess of Gems and the girl Bloom had attacked believing her to be another one of the Trix's malicious tricks. Since Sky never told her anything about being engaged, Bloom feels like she was being tricked and used and sadly, one of her friends is also suffering from what was revealed that day, as the boy Stella had been eying turned out to be the real Brandon, Sky's squire.

Bloom and Stella try to stay cooped up indoors but the rest of the Winx are able to get them to join them on a walk by Lake Roccaluce for some fresh air but the girls end up coming across the Specialists near a submarine as they have been testing it out under Codatorta's watch.

When the Winx approach the boys to greet them, Sky tries to talk to Bloom only to end up on the receiving end of her fury when she lashes out at him, refusing to talk to him unless it is under the condition that he cannot tell anymore lies. She then storms off away from the lake, causing Sky to run after her as he tries to explain himself. Eventually, Sky is able to get Bloom to stop and explains to her that he and Brandon assumed each other's identities as a security measure due to the numerous enemies his dad, King Erendor, has made over the years. Fearing that his enemies would use his son for blackmail or worse, Erendor sent Sky to Red Fountain under Brandon's name and sent Brandon as his personal bodyguard. Sky further reveals how he could not risk getting Bloom caught up in all of this, how he was never in love with Diaspro and how their engagement was made purely for political reasons.

He then confesses to Bloom that things are different with her around as he actually feels happy and he insists that his father will just have to accept that he loves someone else. However, Bloom does not believe that they can truly be together as they are now because Sky is not as free as he thinks he is since his father was the one who made him come to Red Fountain under a false identity. Due to the numerous duties that a prince like Sky would have to deal with, Bloom just cannot bring herself to believe that Sky will be able to decide things for his own happiness, which includes their potential relationship. This begins to form a rift between the two as their relationship is still on the rocks when Stella and Brandon return having made up already.

At the very end of the issue, after Bloom's magic allows for all the Alfea Fairies to defeat a mysterious monster, Bloom decides that she needs to return back to her home in Gardenia as she feels out of place in the Magix. Stella suspects that she may be leaving because of what happened with Sky and the Winx promise to always be there for Bloom before she packs her things and leaves. However, with what happens after Bloom leaves, the two of them do not have the luxury of worrying about the complications of their romance. During the war against the Trix in Issues 11 and 12, the two being each other's well-being and safety above all else. After the events of the war, the two actually share a kiss which ended up being recorded amongst the rest of the Winx's memories in the beginning of Issue 13. Even after having kissed Sky, Bloom still adamantly denies being in an official relationship with him, possibly out of embarrassment. This does not stop her from being more affectionate with Sky when given the chance though, as the two even share a heartfelt moment by a fire during their mission in the mountains to collect moonlight. After being separated from Brandon, Stella, Musa and Riven and being taken in by an abrasive woodcutter named Karel who helped them rescue Timmy and Tecna from falling into a river, the group accepts Karel offer to stay at his cottage for the night. It is there that Bloom and Sky cuddle in front of Karel's fireplace and Sky eventually tells Bloom that he believes she is meant to do great things with her power over the Dragon's Flame. Bloom also believes the same for Sky since he will eventually succeed his father and become King of Erakylon, but this causes Sky to worry over whether their destinies may cause their paths to part from each other one day. All Bloom can tell Sky is that she is not sure as even fairies cannot see into the future.

Though, now that their feelings have basically been displayed out in the open, the new couple still has to address one glaring problem: Sky's engagement to Princess Diaspro and, in Issue 15, they are forced to finally confront it when Red Fountain holds a party to commemorate the reconstruction of its new campus.

When the Winx catch wind of the party, Bloom reveals that Sky has been in a strange mood the past few days and fears that she knows why. Her fears are quickly realized when King Erendor and Queen Samara make their arrival as Samara had brought along Diaspro and her parents as a surprise for her son. Diaspro herself also hints that she came with Sky's parents to pick up an old conversation that she could not afford to leave be. This naturally makes Sky uncomfortable and, later, he confronts his mother about bringing Diaspro given what he had told her: that he does not love her.

Samara suspects that this is due to his mind still being focused on Bloom but Sky finds that he is actually unsure as to where his heart lies and he expresses his frustration over always being told what to do. After being reminded of the importance of his engagement with Diaspro and the duties that he owes his people that come with being the crown prince, Sky reluctantly agrees to talk with Diaspro at the Inauguration Party.

Once the Party commences, Sky does as he promised his mother and invites Diaspro to dance as they talk about their current situation. Unbeknownst to them, the Winx had snuck into the Party and Sky uses this as a chance to break away from Diaspro to "honor" Bloom for being the hero who defeated the infamous Trix, leaving Diaspro to feel bitter at being thrown away. Though Bloom is a tad jealous over Sky being to close with Diaspro, she is still aware of Sky's situation with his parents and happily takes his invite to dance. While they did so, Diaspro tricks her old friend Doradil into helping her "win a bet" by kissing her "friend," Bloom, under a two-hour timeframe.

Eventually, Bloom becomes curious and asks Sky why his parents are more lenient on him being around her, to which Sky reveals that her being the famed fairy who took down the rebel witches made it easier for him to be with her. Hearing this causes Bloom to think that she and Sky can only become a couple now that she is famous and though Sky tries to clarify what he meant, Bloom becomes enraged with him believing that she would never be good enough for him if she stayed as a "common person." Diaspro uses this as an opportunity to cut in between the two and continue her dance with Sky which he reluctantly accepts after seeing how Bloom will not be so quick to forgive him. Bloom moves to a more secluded part of the ballroom to wipe her frustrated tears until she is approached by Doradil and humors him as he flirts with her. Once Doradil offers to take her to another part of the school to see the dragon they captured earlier, Bloom initially tries to refuse his offer but reconsiders at the thought of making Sky jealous.

Once the two make it to the dragon's cage, Bloom immediately starts fawning over the beast as Doradil makes his move. Bloom tries to get him to take her back inside upon realizing what Doradil may be up to but he does not stop until she slaps him. Soon enough, Diaspro emerges from her hiding place to dismiss Doradil and demand that Bloom give up on Sky as a prince would never marry a commoner like how she views Bloom to be. Bloom tries to get Diaspro to challenge her world-view by telling her that "commonfolk" do not exist because everyone is special and that Diaspro should let Sky be free to choose who he loves, even if it is not her, if she truly loves him.

Enraged and frustrated, Diaspro attacks Bloom and accidentally sets the dragon free in the process. Bloom then chases down the dragon as it flies off with Diaspro in its claws, eventually arriving in the land of dragons. Meanwhile, the Specialists and the rest of the Winx hear the dragon's roars, learn from Doradil that he took off with both Bloom and Diaspro, and take a shuttle to pursue it.
