Symphony of Obliteration
Summary: Tecna promised she wouldn't let the fame get to her head; after all, she was the brains of the group. She knew stardom had its risks...but she never expected it to get this far.
Just a story I've been thinking of writing, curses to the Winx Club Soundtracks for giving me this idea. Please note Roxy will be included in this story.
Hello fellow fanfictioner's & Winx Club fanatics, I'm baaaaaaaaaack. It's been a long last couple weeks, school has pretty much taken over my life and some really unfortunate things have been going on back home. To top it off, I also hit a readers block, but finally I'm ready to write again.
Also note I do not own ANY of the songs featured in this fanfiction...they all belong to their rightful owners.
Chapter 1: A Hidden Talent
"Want to come with me and Roxy to Magix?" Musa stood at the end of Tecna's bed as her technology loving friend busily typed away at her laptop and paid very little attention to what the music fairy was suggesting.
"What for?" Tecna didn't look up from her computer screen as she still continued to look at her computer with deep concentration.
"Shopping for a new guitar," Musa pointed at her side of the dorm to direct Tecna's attention to a red and white guitar that was in awful shape, "Its seen better days...It's actually pretty old."
"Why don't you just order one off the realm wide web? In fact let me order you one..." Tecna looked up at her friend who didn't look impressed by what she said, "What did I say?" She stared at her roommate who looked at her very upset.
Musa put her hands on her hips and her dark hair bounced slightly as she did this, "You know I don't like ordering off the web. I prefer to get a feel for a guitar in person before I even think about buying one. Now come on," Musa impatiently grabbed Tecna's arm and pulled her off her bed jokingly. Tecna's laptop thankfully landed softly in her lap as she was pulled off the bed.
"Fine," Tecna released herself from Musa's grasp and evened out the wrinkles that now formed on her lavender midriff and skirt, "But how'd you convince Roxy to come along?" She knew for a fact that Roxy wasn't a fan at all of music. She set her laptop back safely in her drawer.
"She hasn't gotten much of an opportunity to get off of campus to explore Magix. She jumped at the chance to go with me," Musa explained happily. "Maybe you should get yourself a keyboard...you know...get back into playing like you did on Earth?" Tecna just recently discovered that she did in fact have some skill in music. While on Earth her and her friends became a band and she found how easily she could play a keyboard without having any before experience with one. After they returned from Earth with their new member of the Winx Club Tecna didn't dare think of starting to play music again.
"It was just a phase...music's not my thing Musa," Tecna looked at her friend with slight anger in her teal eyes. "I'll stick to my technology and gadgets." Deep down Tecna remembered one other time that she made a connection with music. During her second year at Alfea while she was having her grudge against Timmy she actually wrote a small song to let out her frustration about his seemingly lost emotions for anything. Of course she kept this song a secret from absolutely everyone.
"But you were so good-" Tecna cut Musa off before she could finish complimenting her.
"I only did it because I didn't want to feel left out of the group," Tecna sighed sadly.
"Didn't mean to upset you Tec...I was just saying that I think you might have a musical gift deep down," Musa stared sadly at her friend who looked very sad now after discussing a possible musical talent, "Just forget everything I said if that makes you feel better."
"It's alright Musa...I'm just trying to put it behind me. I'm a technology fairy...not some music star like you," Tecna replied as the two girls left their dorm to go find their dorm to go find the last fairy of Earth. They eventually found her waiting outside of Alfea's gates waiting for the next bus to arrive to take them to downtown Magix.
"Hey Roxy, sorry we're late. I had to convince Tecna to come with us," Musa giggled and joked. Tecna looked at Musa unimpressed by what she said, "Sorry Tec."
"Why wouldn't you want to go to Magix...it's such a breathtaking city," Roxy looked at Tecna in complete shock. Roxy had only got the opportunity to go to Magix twice in between her studying to become a real fairy and hearing that she could go again made her very eager and excited.
"The effect will wear off when you see what else the Magical Dimension has in store," Tecna explained to Roxy as the bus glided to a smooth silent stop in front of them. The hover buses were all too new to Roxy and she stared in amazement at what anyone else would see as an ordinary bus. They all made their way on and sat down together.
"These buses are so cool..." Roxy smiled at the other winx girls. "The one's on Earth are so bland compared to these."
"It's just a bus Roxy...nothing that spectacular," Tecna leaned back in her seat as she watched Roxy stare out into the forest that zipped past the bus.
"Let her be excited about this," Musa whispered sharply to Tecna who was just being a killjoy to their shopping trip. Tecna made an apologetic smile to Musa as she realized to let Roxy's mind be opened and amazed by simple Magix technology.

"Well...this is the place," Musa gave an introduction to Tecna and Roxy as she pointed at a shop with tinted windows and large inviting doors, "Andy's Music Junction; the place with the best instruments in all of Magix." Musa led them inside where every instrument imaginable lined every wall, shelf, and corner. Inside there were tons of other people shopping like they were.
"Tec...I seriously think you should check out those," she winked and pointed at the far wall which had a huge assortment of keyboards, "Seriously."
"I'm not going over there Musa."
"Just go have a look," Musa started to jokingly push Tecna in the direction the keyboards were. Roxy began giggling at what Musa was trying to do. "Get a feel for one of them...you' know?"
"It won't hurt Tecna," Roxy tried to reassure her to go over.
"You're being so illogical," Tecna sighed but decided to make Musa happy. "But fine...I'll try one out..." Musa and Roxy left her happily as they went to go check out the assortment of guitars. Tecna sighed after looking at a bunch of different keyboards that she could hang off her shoulder but finally sat in front of one that stayed stationary of the floor.
"Let's get this done and over with," Tecna told herself as she perched herself in front of it. She stared perplexingly at all the different keys. "I don't know what Musa was talking about...It's completely illogical. I don't think I even remember how to play..." She sighed and began to play a very light techno beat on the keyboard with ease that surprised Tecna. She stared down gracefully at the keyboard as she played.
Tecna then felt the need to start singing something...something in her was dying to come out of her; Tecna let that feeling out through her voice box through a song. She instantly began playing the song on the keyboard that she wrote about two years ago that she based around Timmy's emotions. Unknown to Tecna people were actually listening to her play.
I do not own the song "Ice" by Lights.
My mouth is frozen so I can't even speak What I mean is, all I need is, I don't think you're knowing how hard this is for me What I mean is, all I need is, I'm looking at you looking at me, what can I do but say sorry My mouth is frozen so I can't even speak What I mean is all I need is
What a disappointment, I had it perfectly
What I was going to bring up suddenly
Stood like a stone as you stood quietly
You're making it hard for me
All I can do is freeze...
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice
I'm not the type to say sorry constantly
So I swallowed my pride and I got on my knees
But still you just stood there as you stared at me...
Your ego is getting old
How did you get so cold
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice
It's a little late but you know I just want you to be happy.
What I got to say to make you let me get away with it this time.
I know you're upset and that you're happy just to sit and hate me,
But I'll make a bet that you'll be better to forget about me,
Even better yet I'll let a little light melt the ice, ice baby!
I'm not the type to say sorry constantly
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing
What I mean is all I need is
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice...
As soon as she stopped playing the store erupted in a symphony of claps and cheers. Tecna was speechless as she looked up from her keyboard for once to finally notice people were actually listening to her play. She immediately began to blush the brightest shade of red you could imagine.
The song "Ice" was originally a song about a boyfriend who has turned 'cold' and doesn't show affection anymore. I found this song worked well for Tecna because the song actually does have a keyboard in the song so it went well with the fact she actually does play a keyboard/piano. Also, from the lyrics it looked like Tecna was singing about herself having trouble showing the courage to tell Timmy how she feels about him. Another reason behind picking this song is because of in the chorus she sings that she wants a little emotion (and if you are a true Winx Club fan you'll see the connection from this part of the song to Season 2).
A final note is that I would like to point out the irony that the song is named Ice...And throughout Season 2 they were trying to "break the ice" in their relationship. Just a little irony I found without even realizing it.
