I know I said I was going to continue writing Zenith: The Lost Realm, but I had been thinking about this idea for a very long time and I had to share it. It began as a long drawn off TecnaxTimmy fluff scene but turned out to be the prologue/intro to the whole thing. I'd also like to thank Chrissiemusa for inspiring me to do something with this that I've never done before, you'll see in later chapters. Tecna fans be sure to check out her latest story The Winx Chronicles: Queen of Time.

Anyway, onwards and outward!

Magic Virus

Alfea was once again holding one of its school parties to celebrate yet another victory of teamwork and cooperation between the fairies and the Specialists of Red Fountain. There was plenty of music, laughter and dancing out on the courtyard of the school for fairies, and of course there was no exception within the Winx Club either. Each was happily accompanied by their respective boyfriends, however a certain ginger haired young man managed to lead his beloved into a quieter spot, away from the loudness of the music and commotion. They sat on a bench, the magenta haired technology fairy's head on his chest, his now muscular arms embracing her delicate form, and he slid strands of her hair gently through his fingertips. A year ago, the very image of her position in his arms would have caused him to have a nervous breakdown, but now he could stay still, silent and at peace for all eternity. If Timmy didn't know any better, he could've sworn Tecna had fallen asleep just from how long he had been playing with her hair for. She was still awake though, just in complete bliss from raw emotion, this was one of the times when she was not scared to let emotions cloud her logical judgment, she loved it and never wanted it to end. They had ended up this way when Tecna wanted to show Timmy some new updates she installed on her handheld device, however Timmy gently lowered her hand with her device still within her grasp.

"If I wanted to take a look at new software, I would have stayed back at Red Fountain." He had told her passionately, "I came here to be with you." He forced himself not to say anything else at that point, the horrors of the past year still stung very deeply, but he didn't want to bring up the trauma that she had endured. He was so grateful for the miracle of having her back in his embrace without a single scratch, and the endless possibilities of what could've happened never left his mind. Now, Tecna's eyes were nearly closed, her sweet smile made him want to hold her even longer, and he too began to shut his eyes. He envisioned the very first time he saw his beloved in her exquisite Enchantix fairy form, if not for the circumstances they were in, he could've fell to his knees and wept in pure astonishment. She was like a butterfly emerging from a frozen chrysalis, he couldn't find the words to describe her, she left him speechless. Not only did the Enchantix live up to its name, especially with his sweet Tecna, but what she had to go through to obtain such a beautiful form, it felt beyond cruel. Timmy considered himself extremely lucky to be able to see Tecna like that, for there would have been a possibility that she may have not made it. Just the thought that he could have lost her, to those heartless criminals, or those subzero temperatures that were more than likely to cause hypothermia, made his eyes water. His eyes shot open, and realizing that Tecna was safely in his arms, he couldn't resist but tighten the embrace, however she did not stir.

"Tecna, why do you take my breath away?" He sighed quietly, " What did I do to deserve such stunning perfection?"

"Mmm," Tecna groaned at the slight sound of his voice, "Did you say something, Timmy?"

"No, Cupcake," he fibbed, pecking the top of her forehead quickly, "Just that you make me the luckiest man in the whole Magical Dimension."

"Oh Timmy." Tecna gushed, her cheeks turning a slight shade of pink, after her rest she sat up and took a brownie from a plate they had beside them. There were quite a few refreshments served at the party and the genius couple managed to grab some before wandering off.

After a lengthy discussion about the latest supercomputer, Tecna and Timmy returned to the main area of the party when they noticed that the brownies that Tecna had sampled were being taken away.

"What's going on, what happened to those brownies?" Stella had asked, " I never got a chance to have one."

"It's a good thing, because they're being recalled." A caterer explained, "turns out there's a magic virus planted in some of them. We ask everyone who had one to check with Nurse Ophelia, just in case." With that sudden information, Timmy immediately looked at Tecna.

"You had a brownie Tecna, I better get you to the nurse so that we know whether or not yours was one of the bad ones." He insisted, taking her by the hand and leading her to a line up of students who were waiting to be checked over. The technology fairy was speechless, never had she thought she'd need to scan what she was about to put in her mouth, this was cause for concern, especially for Timmy. Once she reached Nurse Ophelia, she was sat on a chair as the nurse had all the equipment needed to check Alfea's students. Among some of the equipment was a scanner that was well known in Zenith as a highly reliable piece of technology. It was able to detect anything from a broken rib to internal bleeding, and in this case, magic based illnesses. Tecna stayed very still as the nurse lowered the light around her stomach, where the food might still have been digesting, but it turned out that there was no sign of magic based ingredients whatsoever.

"So, do you see anything?" Timmy asked worriedly. Nurse Ophelia checked the results of the scan after it was completed.

"No, nothing," she declared, and the ginger haired Specialist heaved a great sigh of relief, "though, as I said to everyone else, check back with me if anything changes. It could very well be a late onset magic virus."

"Out of curiosity, do you know what type of magic virus this is, maybe I can research it." Tecna inquired.

"No, that's why I said to check back, so we can figure it out before it escalates." The nurse replied.

"But what if by that time it's too late and the virus is incurable-" Tecna pressed frantically, Timmy was having the exact same concerns as she was, even more so in fact, his beloved Cupcake was involved.

"We're doing everything we can with unknown information Tecna," Nurse Ophelia insisted, "the more we know, the more we can do about the situation." The magenta haired fairy just sighed in defeat and walked away with her loving boyfriend to allow the next student to be checked over. Once they met up with the rest of the Winx and Specialists, Tecna just had to ask.

"Did anyone else eat one of those brownies before the caterers had to recall them?"

"I did." Bloom admitted, as did Flora, " but we already we looked at by the nurse."

"I just find it odd that someone would cast a magic virus on just one refreshment, and not the entire table," Tecna pondered, "if they wanted it to be a school wide epidemic it would only make sense, right?" Meanwhile Timmy's head was elsewhere, still surrounded by the thoughts he had while they were sitting peacefully on the bench just an hour and a half ago. Now all this happened and Tecna just had to be in the middle of it all. He was worried tremendously for Tecna's health and whether she did have this magic virus or not, it scared him and he couldn't focus on anything else.

Just as expected, it was the Trix who planted the magic virus in the brownies, they watched through the trees as the Winx discussed what was happening.

"This is perfect, we destroy those annoying Winx one by one." Icy laughed wickedly, "that magic virus was specifically created to affect technology fairies in particular. Once it hits there'll be nothing they can do."

"Why couldn't we just spell six of the brownies with a magic virus that affects all types of fairies and have done with them?" Stormy asked impatiently, huddling beside her sister in the tree.

"Targeting all six of the Winx would lead everyone right to us, everyone knows we're notorious for being their nemesis'. If we kill them off one by one and leave time between each attack it would cause less suspicion." Icy explained.

"And how did you make sure the technology fairy would take the bait?"

"A simple attraction spell, I cast it on the brownies so that she would feel compelled to take one." Icy answered.

"Diabolical." Stormy cackled slightly, continuing to watch the Winx girls.

"So how does this virus work?" Darcy asked menacingly.

"First it will slowly and painfully eat away at a fairy's powers..."

I love how I ended this chapter, giving off a hint towards what will happen and a little dramatic irony thrown in there too. We need to increase the number of Tecna fanfics in the archives, there are only 90 of them and I've already read all the good ones including my own.
