The plant then gets stepped on my Flora's roommate, Bloom (under the alias Princess Varanda as she was not an official Alfea student yet), it yelps in pain and the fairy apologizes albeit shocked at the same time. The plant watches as Flora introduces herself to Bloom and tells her she planted it but it does talk a lot and is usually in the way. Then it watches as three other girls gather around Bloom and Flora to get acquainted with each other.
