I do not own Winx Club
In the realm of Magix there is a school for fairies called Alphea. Our story starts here in the dorm of a student called Bloom.
Bloom was lying on her bed and was bored. And not just plain bored, she was extremely bored. Flora and Musa were in the library studying, Stella was on a date with Brandon and Tecna was online chatting with Timmy. Tecna looked over her shoulder towards Bloom. "What's the matter Bloom?" she asked. Bloom sighed. "I'm bored," replied Bloom. "Why don't you go visit Sky?" Tecna suggested. Bloom sat up at the idea.
"Yeah, I'll go over and surprise him!" she said enthusiastically.
"Shouldn't you call him first?" questioned Tecna, "So he knows that you're coming?" Bloom shook her head and giggled.
"That's the point of a surprise, they're not meant to know." Bloom got off her bed and rushed out of the room.
"Bye Tecna, tell the others where I am if they ask," she called over her shoulder.
"Sure thing Bloom," said Tecna as the door shut, "Have a good time".
In the city center of Magix was Stella and Brandon who were on a date. They were currently walking towards one of the many benches that were located outside the park. "That was such a cool movie!" exclaimed Stella, "I loved the part where they kissed, it was so romantic!"
"Yeah," said Brandon indifferently, "The best part was when the guy jumped out of the burning plane before it blew up. Man that was cool."
Stella stared at him. "The best bit was when they kissed!" she said.
"Nu-uh, when the plane blew up," retorted Brandon.
"Was not!" said Stella.
"Was too!" said Brandon.
"Was not!" said Stella in a that's final tone, "Anyway, I want ice-cream." Brandon sighed and got up. "What flavour?" he asked his girlfriend. "Chocolate!" chirped Stella.
"One chocolate ice-cream coming right up your highness," said Brandon mock-bowing.
"Why thank you squire," giggled Stella, "Now go before I get grumpy." Stella pouted.
Brandon laughed. "Right away ma'am!", and with that he went off to find an ice-cream vendor.
Stella huffed. She was getting bored, so she decided to go look for Brandon. A few moments later, Brandon came back with two ice-creams in hand, one chocolate and one vanilla. "Here you are your majesty," he said, mock-bowing once more.
At that moment a girl of about 17 orbed into the spot where Stella was once sitting. She had long brown hair that was down to her knees with blond bangs. She was wearing long black pants and a dark blue halter top with silver patterns embroidered on it.
"Why thank you squire," she said in a smooth voice taking the chocolate ice-cream.
Brandon looked up. "You're wel- hey! You're not Stella!" exclaimed Brandon.
"I know that," replied the girl. Brandon glared at her. "What did you do with Stella Darcy!?!" In his rage, Brandon crushed the ice-cream in his hand. The girl chuckled. "Your hand's gonna be sticky now," she stated. Brandon's glare intensified.
"Quit playing games," he growled, "What did you do with Stella?" The girl raised an eyebrow at him. "If you're talking about the blond girl, she left a few moments before you got here," she said calmly, "Oh, and thanks for the ice-cream." The girl got up and somersaulted over Brandon. "And by the way, the name's Ryn." She turned and orbed away.
Brandon stood there in a stunned silence. 'That was weird,' he thought. Then Stella rounded the corner. "There you are!" she said exasperatedly, "I've been looking all over for you! Hey, are you listening? Where's my ice-cream?"
Brandon looked at Stella. "Some weird girl stole it," he said, "Come on, I'll buy you another one, and wash my hand while I'm at it." And so the couple went to the ice-cream vendor, with Stella complaining loudly all the way.
In another area of the park, the mystery girl Ryn was thinking. 'How dare he accuse me of kidnapping his girlfriend, the nerve!' She got up. 'Well it's not that early, he should be up by now. I think I'll go visit my brother.' Ryn orbed away once again.
The story now takes us to Red Fountain and into the dorm room of Bloom's boyfriend Sky. Sky had just woken up and was in the process of having a shower. He came out of the bathroom shirtless only wearing a pair of sweat pants. Sky felt a presence in the room. He looked around but couldn't see anyone. He heard light chuckling coming from a dark corner of the room. He turned to the direction of the laughter.
"Show yourself or I'll be forced to attack you," he called. A feminine figure stepped out from the shadows still chuckling lightly. She looked at Sky.
"We wouldn't want that now would we," she stated in a velvety voice. Sky glared at her. "Why are you here Darcy?" Sky asked vehemently. The girl shook her head and sighed softly, "That's twice I've been called that today." Sky looked confused. "If you're not Darcy then who are you?" he asked puzzled. The girl looked disappointed and closed the gap between herself and Sky. "How could you forget your little sister?" she asked.
"Ryn," Sky said, "But you were just a little girl last time?" Ryn shook her head.
"The last time you saw me, I was 13 Sky. Of course I've changed, duh!" Ryn folded her arms over her chest and sat on Sky's bed.
"Where have you been for the past four years?" inquired Sky. He sat down next to Ryn.
"I've been in a different dimension studying magic. Remember, I'm a witch not a fairy."
"That's right; you went to Hogwarts instead of Cloud Tower because mum didn't like the way they taught," he remembered, "How was it?"
"Tell me about what you've been doing and I'll tell you what I've been doing. Deal?" bargained Ryn. "Deal," said Sky. The siblings proceeded to catch up on the past 4 years.
At the gates of Red Fountain was Bloom. She took a deep breath.
"Ok, here goes," she said to herself. She walked into the school grounds and almost immediately ran into Timmy.
"Oh, hey Bloom," said Timmy, "Sky should be up so go right in. His dorm is on the second floor, fifth door on the left." Bloom looked at Timmy who was grinning sheepishly.
"Tecna told me you were coming," he said. Bloom laughed a little. 'Trust Tecna to do something like that,' she thought. "Tell her I got here in one piece."
Timmy nodded. Bloom waved bye to Timmy and sprinted off towards Sky's dorm.
As she approached his room, she stopped to catch her breath. 'Who'd've thought it was such a long way,' thought Bloom. When she'd caught her breath, she walked to the fifth door on the left hand side which conveniently enough had Sky and Brandon's names engraved on a plaque hanging above the door. Bloom heard the voice of a female that sounded like one of the witches coming from inside the room. Bloom edged closer to the slightly ajar door and listened.
"I've really missed you," said the girl.
"I missed you too," replied Sky, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming today?"
The girl leaned into Sky's shoulder. "I wanted it to be a surprise," she said softly.
She then gave Sky a peck on the cheek. "I really missed you," she said again. Sky pulled her into a tight hug.
"I know," he said.
Bloom backed away from the door trying to hold back tears.
"How could he," she whispered tearfully. She then ran all the way down the two storeys and into the Red Fountain courtyard where she crashed into Brandon.
"Hey Bloom," he said, "What's the matter? What happened?"
Bloom looked up at Brandon, her eyes filled to the brim and shining with unshed tears. "Sky's in his room," she began tearfully. Brandon nodded. "What's wrong with that?"
"He's up in his room with Darcy!" Bloom exclaimed and dropped to her knees crying uncontrollably. Brandon was livid. "He's what!!! Why that… Don't worry Bloom," he exclaimed, "I'll give you a ride back to Alphea and then give that spoiled brat a piece of my mind!" Brandon took Bloom's hand and led her to his levibike.
"Hop on," he said, "We'll be at Alphea in a bit." Bloom nodded and got on.
"Hold on tight," said Brandon as he started up the bike and took off.
Back in Sky's dorm room, Sky was exercising and Ryn was looking through one of his photo albums. She came across some pictures of Sky and a red-haired girl.
"Who's she?" she asked her brother. Sky looked over and smiled at the picture.
"That's me and Bloom on out first date," he said. Ryn examined the picture.
"She looks nice. I approve," she said, "I'll have to meet her one day." Ryn turned the page. On it were some pictures labeled 'Sky & Brandon's first day at Red Fountain'. "Brandon's grown up," she commented, "I barely even recognized him in the park earlier." Sky stopped his workout. "You saw Brandon?" he asked his sister. Ryn nodded. "He was out with a blond called Stella who I'm assuming is his girlfriend." Sky nodded. "He accused me of kidnapping her," continued Ryn. "Because he thought you were Darcy?" asked Sky. "Yup," said Ryn, "Hope you and Bloom are going well."
At Alphea, Stella was giving a detailed recount of her date to the girls who were nodding and pretending to listen. All of a sudden, they saw Bloom coming into the grounds with tears in her eyes and Brandon holding her steady. Stella stopped mid-rant and led the pack as they all rushed over.
"What's the matter sweetie?" inquired Flora with a motherly tone. Brandon spoke up. "She saw Sky cheating on her." There were several outraged shouts after this comment. "With who?" shouted Stella. All the girls looked towards Brandon for an answer.
It was Bloom that spoke. "With Darcy," she spat, "She's put him under the same spell she's got Riven trapped with." Musa growled. 'First Riven and now Sky. How dare that witch do this!' Flora put an arm over Bloom's back.
"Don't you worry sweetie," soothed Flora, "It'll be alright, we'll get him and Riven back." "You guys take care of her," said Brandon, "I'm gonna give this spoiled brat a piece of my mind!" 'Good luck' and 'Be careful' were the replies he got.
"I'll be fine," said Brandon, "It's Sky that should watch out." Brandon jumped on his bike and sped back to Red Fountain.
"Let's get her inside and get some chocolate and ice-cream," said Musa, "And hear about what happened if you're up to it Bloom." Bloom hugged her friends and smiled. "You guys are the best," she said tearfully. "We know," Stella butted in, "Now let's go, Girls Night In!!!" With Stella leading the way, the girls went up to their dorm to prepare for the girls night in.
Back at Red Fountain, Ryn and Sky were reminiscing about their childhood.
"Remember the time you blew up the east wing of the castle?" asked Sky proceeding to laugh his head off. Ryn glared lightly at her brother. "I was only 5 you know," she defended, "Mum and dad weren't very happy." A mischievous smile came onto Ryn's face. "Remember when I found out your biggest fear?" Sky saw the look on his sister's face and began to get scared.
"Now Ryn", began Sky, "You wouldn't do that to your favourite older brother, would you?" Ryn got up. "Try me," she said evilly. She walked to the center of the room and transformed into Sky's old etiquette tutor. Sky cringed. Ryn smirked. "How are we today Prince Sky? Feeling smug, well we'll see how smug you feel after today's 7 hour lesson on table manners and dancing." Ryn had mimicked the tutor's voice perfectly and that really creeped Sky out. Sky shuddered. Ryn felt that this was a victory so she reverted back into her original from with a satisfied smirk on her face.
"Don't ever do that again," said Sky. Ryn laughed, "I can't believe that you're still scared of him after all these years. You are such a baby." Sky smiled slyly.
"Are you still ticklish?" Ryn raised an eyebrow. "I accept your challenge as you are ticklish too big bro. And besides, I can freeze you if you get too close." Sky smiled, "But I can still try. You forget I'm a specialist."
Sky charged at Ryn with his hands in the tickle position. "I'll give you a chance," said Ryn. When Sky was 3 feet away from her, Ryn launched herself into the air and did a front flip over her brother. Sky skidded a little before turning and charging again. Ryn smirked at her brother and flicked her hand in Sky's direction. Sky found himself frozen on the spot unable to move. Ryn looked her brother's position and began to laugh. Sky's mouth was wide open, he had one leg in the air and his arms were in the tickle positions. As Sky could hear his sister laughing as he wasn't completely frozen. He tried to glare but it didn't work out very well and that made Ryn burst into hysterics.
"You look so stupid," she cried. Ryn took a deep breath and recomposed herself. She heard stomping coming towards the room. Ryn unfroze Sky who fell to the floor with a thud.
"Someone's coming," she said, "I'd better get going." She gave Sky a quick hug and orbed away. Sky sighed. "I hate it when she leaves like that."
"When who leaves you like that?" questioned Brandon from the door. Sky turned to the door. "No one," he said. Brandon scoffed and walked into the room.
"Don't lie," he said to Sky, "Bloom saw you with Darcy this afternoon." Brandon glared at Sky who was confused. "What are you talking about? I wasn't with Darcy this afternoon." Brandon glared. "I don't believe you coz I saw her here just now!" Sky got up off the floor. "She must have you under some sort of hypnosis." Sky looked at his friend. "I'm not under any sort of hypnosis or love spell. That was not Darcy that was here."
"Well who was it then?" asked Brandon still glaring as he did not believe on word Sky was saying. Sky glared back at Brandon. "It was my sister Camryn," said Sky as he pushed his way past Brandon. A look of shock passed over Brandon's face but was quickly replaced by a glare.
"Don't bring Ryn into this. There's no way that was her," scolded Brandon, "Think of what you're doing to Bloom Sky. She saw what I saw, Darcy, in here with you all cuddly." Sky's fist began to shake in anger, he forced it down. "I care about Bloom more than anything and I swear that I'm telling the truth." Sky stormed out of the room and went to see the dorm coordinator about staying in a different room for a while.
Ryn orbed herself to the park. She looked towards the clock. 'Hmm, 4pm,' she thought, 'I'll get some food then I'll go home to Eraklyon.' Ryn walked to one of the burger places. She waited in line for 5 minutes before she was served. A guy was at the counter. He smirked at her.
"Sorry, we don't serve salads here," he said, "You'll have to go somewhere else to eat." Ryn smirked back at him. "Well it's a good thing I want a burger then."
The guy scoffed, "Yeah right, like you could eat the little kiddie's burger." Ryn sighed, 'Why do they always do this to me?' she asked herself. Ryn quickly scanned the menu.
"I'll make a deal with you," she said, "If I finish the Mega Whooper burger in 10 minutes or under, I don't have to pay and I get 100 bucks. And if I take longer than 10 minutes, I pay double and you get 100 bucks. Deal?" Ryn held out her hand. The guy shook it. "Deal." 'Easiest hundred ever,' he thought. He grabbed the microphone for the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen. We have a girl that thinks she can finish the Mega Whooper." Many of the crowd laughed.
"Shall we watch and see if she can actually do it?" The crowd cheered. The guy smirked at Ryn. "Let's see how well you do under pressure." The chef brought out the burger on a silver platter and set it down in front of Ryn. "Good luck," he said. The burger was about as big as a Big Mac. 'That's all,' thought Ryn, 'Pathetic.' Then the burger grew. It was now 5cm wider and 3cm taller than a burger from a fish and chip shop. 'That's still rather pathetic,' she thought, 'Time to act scared.'
"Oh no, it's so big!" she cried, "How will I ever finish this?!?"
The register guy smirked. 'The 100 bucks is so mine,' he thought. "Let's up the ante," he said to Ryn, "If you win you get the burger free and a hundred bucks. If I win, instead of paying double, you give me a hundred bucks and go out with me." 'Creep,' thought Ryn. "Fine," she said. The guy smirked and faced the crowd.
"The challenge shall begin NOW!!!" And so the clock started counting down. Ryn sat still for a minute before digging in. 'This burger's not that bad,' she thought. After 8 minutes, Ryn had finished the burger. The men in the crowd were astonished that this girl had finished the burger in 8 minutes. The register guy was fuming. Ryn smiled at him.
"I believe you owe me $100," she said. The guy grumbled but handed over the money. Ryn put the money in her wallet and looked at the clock. '4:40pm, I should go now,' she thought. She turned to the crowd.
"It was a pleasure to entertain you all, but I must be going." She bowed and orbed away.
At Alphea, the girls were having a grand time. There was music, movies, laughter and chocolate. Stella was on Bloom's bed painting Bloom's nails a light blue colour.
"Who needs Sky when you've got us!" she said, stupidly. Everyone turned to face the blond. At that Bloom burst into a fit of laughter. Everyone turned to face her now.
"I fail to see what is so funny," said Tecna. Bloom laughed harder and was almost in tears. "Are you alright sweetie?" asked a concerned Flora. Bloom wiped a tear from her eye and pulled her friends into a hug.
"I'm fine," said Bloom, "You guys can stop avoiding Sky's name now. I'll be fine." They all stared at her. "Even so," said Stella, "I'm still gonna give you a makeover!" Musa joined in. "Yeah girl," she said, "We'll make him so jealous that he'll be begging to take you back." Flora and Tecna nodded in agreement. "Thank you guys," said Bloom.
And so the makeover began with the girls giggling into the early morning. Luckily for them the next day was a Sunday.
It was 6pm when Ryn arrived home at Eraklyon.
"It didn't feel like 75 minutes," she said to herself as she stretched her limbs, "I hope I can get in unnoticed, I need some sleep. Inter-dimension and inter-realm orbing takes a lot of energy out of me. One last orb shouldn't do any damage." Ryn orbed into her room where she found her parents waiting for her with amused looks on their faces.
"Thought you could get away with not greeting us did you?" said her father.
"My, my," said her mother, "You've grown so much. Come here." Ryn walked over to her parents and her mother seized her up in a suffocating hug. Sensing his daughters' discomfort, her father intervened by coughing. He then seized his daughter up in a much looser hug. "It's good to have you Camryn," he said to her.
"It's nice to be home, mother, father," said Ryn, "But if you don't mind I'd like to go to bed. Inter-dimensional travel wipes me out." Her parents smiled at her.
"Of course dear," said her mother, "We shall discuss your travels tomorrow." Her parents left the room. Ryn smiled and launched herself onto the bed and promptly fell asleep.
