It was Anabel's birthday and all of her friends came. Charlie blew a noisemaker while Oliver smiled to his daughter since it was her special day.
"Happy Birthday, Annabelle." Darla smiled.
"Thanks, Darla," Annabelle smiled back. "Thank you for coming, everyone."
Timmy even came with Amber as he held pink and green balloons and where of course, they were secretly Cosmo and Wanda.
"Oh, Timmy, I'm so glad you could make it." Annabelle hugged the bucktoothed boy.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world." Timmy smiled as he hugged her back.
Cosmo and Wanda hid giggles as they could tell Timmy and Annabelle were meant for each other. Luckily for him though, Vicky's little sister Tootie had moved on from her obsession with him and began dating his friend, Chester while Trixie just stayed as his friend, even after being a popular kid like Tad, Chad, and Veronica.
"I wonder what adventures are for us today." Annabelle said.
"Oh, I don't think it'll be much since it's your birthday." Timmy replied.
"Hey, do I have to remind you of when I moved here with Dad and Charlie?" Annabelle smirked.
"Oh, yeah, I remember hearing about that," Timmy then said. "You guys went against someone named... Clarissa?"
"Claudia." Wanda whispered to him.
"Erm, I mean, Claudia." Timmy then corrected himself.
"Yeah, that's her." Annabelle nodded to him.
"Okay, kids, time for some games, and then presents!" Oliver announced.
The kids cheered and laughed as they were then playing games from Musical Chairs, Pin the Tail on the Donkey, and even Spin the Bottle. Atticus, Mo, and Cherry even attended the party. Timmy was having the best time of his life and Amber looked very happy for her cousin.
"Why are we here again?" Cherry asked Atticus and Mo. "I thought we were going to meet the Winx Club."
"And we will; right after Annabelle opens up her last present, it's from the Head Mistress of Alphea's School for Gifted Fairies." Atticus whispered to Mo and Cherry.
"I just came because I hear there's an ice cream cake." Mo smiled sheepishly.
"Fine." Cherry said while rolling her eyes.
Annabelle spun the bottle and it landed on Timmy which made her blush.
"Ooh, time for your kiss~" Charlie teased his younger sister.
Timmy and Annabelle soon gulped before kissing. They both turned red in the face and smiled nervously to each other in response. It was then time for cake and everyone sang to Annabelle as she sat at the end of the table and blew out her candles after the song ended after she made a wish to herself. After cake, it was time for presents. Everyone enjoyed the cake very much, especially Mo since ice cream cake was her favorite.
Everyone then gave their presents to Annabelle, but Atticus made sure the special gift was saved for last. And where she got lots of presents from all her friends, so luckily, the special present was going to go last. Timmy gave her a special necklace recommended by his mother, Amber gave her a poetry book, Darla got her a special hair ribbon, Urchin gave her a conch shell, and Tommy even got her a pack of glittering gel pens.
"Thanks, everyone, this has been the best birthday ever." Annabelle smiled to her friends.
"It's not over yet, sweetie, there's one present left." Oliver smiled back to his daughter as she wore the tiara he bought for her.
"There is?" Annabelle smiled.
"Happy Birthday, Annabelle!" Cherry, Atticus, and Mo told the Birthday Girl.
Annabelle smiled as she took the present. "Thank you." she then said before unwrapping it to see what it was.
"Ooh, what is it?" Amber smiled.
"Is it expensive?" Darla asked.
"I hope it's a video game." Tommy commented.
"It's a book..." Annabelle picked up the present.
"Yuck." Urchin and Timmy wrinkled their noses.
Annabelle saw the title and it said 'Winx Club' on the front and on the inside front page, there was a dedication to Annabelle from someone she didn't know by the name of Faragonda. "Who's Faragonda?" She then asked.
"Annabelle, there's a reason we came to your party." Cherry said.
Mo moaned happily as she ate the ice cream cake, then smiled sheepishly as she was overdoing it a little.
"Um... Yes... Anyway," Cherry adjusted her glasses. "Your last present was a gift from the Headmistress of Alfea's School for Gifted Fairies: Faragonda."
"Yep and where it's the start of your adventure." Atticus said.
Annabelle looked hopeful to Amber and Darla. "Can my friends come too?"
"Of course, especially since Darla is Sailor Moon." Mo approved.
"Yay!" The girls cheered.
"Sorry we had to keep this from you, but we wanted it to be a surprise and your birthday seemed to be the perfect opportunity." Atticus smiled to the girls.
"Thank you!" Annabelle smiled up to Atticus.
"Happy Birthday," Atticus smiled back down to his sister's good friend. "You should be getting a visitor any time soon, but it should be tonight since it is your special day."
Annabelle skimmed through the book about the Winx Club. "Oh, Bloom, that's such a beautiful name."
"She's the princess of the Kingdom of Domino AKA Sparx." Atticus told her.
"She's good, right?" Annabelle asked.
"Oh, yes," Atticus nodded. "She was a little nervous about her powers at first, but I'm sure you'll get along with her."
"Yay!" Annabelle smiled.
"If it's all right, we'd love to spend the night," Atticus said to Oliver. "This is very important for your daughter's future."
"It's okay, I understand." Oliver replied.
"Thank you." Atticus said.
"Just make sure the boys stay in the other room while the girls stay in Annabelle's room." Oliver warned.
"Yes, sir." Atticus chuckled.
The party was then wrapping up and Annabelle was getting her room ready while Darla and Amber were getting in their pajamas for the slumber party part of her birthday party and where they would get to meet the Winx Club.
"This is really exciting," Annabelle smiled as she lay in her bed. "I don't know if I'll even get to sleep."
"Well, I hope so." Charlie said.
"Hey, Charlie." Annabelle greeted her older brother.
"Hey there, Squirt." Charlie greeted back.
Annabelle rolled her eyes and Amber and Darla then came in.
"Oh, hey, Charlie, what're you doing in here?" Darla asked as she held her pillow in her arm.
"This is my room too." Charlie said.
"You guys share a room?" Amber asked Annabelle.
"Sorry, I thought you guys knew." Annabelle told her.
"Well, we know now." Darla said.
"Try not to gossip too loudly," Charlie told the girls as he went to get adjusted in his bed. "Have fun with your fairy tales."
"You should know better than that after our adventure." Annabelle reminded her brother.
Charlie merely shrugged, but ruffled up her hair.
"You girls all set?" Atticus asked.
"Another day, another random adventure." Cherry added.
"Yep." Mo nodded.
"Atticus, every time we have an adventure, I feel worried that we might fail." Darla pouted.
"And where we don't." Atticus said.
"I know, but I can't help but think of what if?" Darla sighed.
"Darla, you shouldn't worry so much, it might make you sick." Mo advised.
"You're right." Darla sighed.
'Of course she's right." Atticus replied.
"You have nothing to worry about, just be ready when the call comes for our adventure." Atticus tucked her in.
"Okay." Darla said.
They all then went to have a good night until it would be time for the adventure and where it would be one that would have lots of magic in it. A story seemed to play in Annabelle's imagination in the place of her dream which was her destiny.
