A/N: Okay, I am trying my shot at Winx Club! Here goes…
I don't own Winx Club!
Good People
Third person POV
Flora sighed. She held the letter in her hand. Why didn't she have the courage to give it to him? Chatta was right. She had had her chance and she had blown it. Helia probably didn't like her anyway. He probably had a senior arty girlfriend back in his old school.
She walked back to the Alfea campus and up to her dorm room she shared with Bloom, Stella, Layla, Musa and Tecna. She found Bloom reading about new battle tactics for Paladin's class. Tecna was doing something on her computer and Musa was writing a new song. Stella was organizing her closet and Layla was nowhere to be seen.
Flora strolled over to her balcony and leaned her elbows on the railing. She couldn't stop thinking about Helia. He was so mysterious and handsome. There was something about him that she had never seen in any other guy before. Something just clicked when they met. At least, that was the way Flora felt.
"You okay?" Layla asked, coming up next to her.
"Huh? Oh! Yes, I'm alright." Flora said, startled.
"You know, if you want to talk about it, I'm here for you." Layla could sense there was something bugging Flora and she had a pretty good hunch it was about Helia.
"I'm okay, really."
"Flora, why don't you just tell him you like him?"
"I don't know. He probably doesn't feel the same way!"
"You don't know that. Besides, I see the way he acts around you. I guarantee you Helia is head over heels in love with you!"
"You think?"
"I don't think, I know."
"Thanks Layla!" Flora said, lifting her head up. She ran into the room and picked up the letter from her desk.
Flora charged down the steps to the main patio on campus. She took the bus to Magix and walked to the park. Perhaps she would find Helia in the same spot she had just an hour ago. But when she arrived there, place was empty.
Flora plopped down on the rock and put her head in her hands. What were her chances anyway? But Layla had said she knew Helia liked her and she never doubted her friends. They would never lie to her, she knew that.
"Flora?" a familiar voice said.
"Helia!" Flora said, startled.
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh, you know… looking at the plants and stuff. After all I am the fairy of nature and all…"
"Right…" Helia said. He looked uncomfortable.
Could he really be struggling for things to say too? According to Stella, when boys did this they were crushing on you. Maybe Layla was right after all…
"So, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I came to sketch the plants and meditate like I usually do. My first session was interrupted." He smirked.
Flora blushed a deep poppy red.
"Sorry…" she apologized.
"Oh, it's okay. I quite enjoyed it actually."
"That's great! I mean it's nice to have a friend like you." Flora stammered. Helia came and sat down next to her. He showed her his art pieces.
"Wow, I love the one of the rose. It really captures the individuality of each petal and the stem looks like a real one."
"Thank you. It was intended to be like that."
Flora blushed again. Helia smiled at her.
"I see you haven't given that letter to your parents yet." He gestured toward the letter.
"Oh, actually why don't you hold onto it for me? I kind of have to go so you can look at it and tell me what you think." Flora thrushed the letter in his hands and ran off to the bus station.
Helia would figure it out and if he really did like her then he would say so (She hoped). But what if he didn't like her and thought of her as a coward for now sticking around to tell him how she really felt? What if he did like her, but all of a sudden he didn't like cowards? What if he never even liked her from the beginning and wanted just to be friends? Would her letter ruin their friendship? Would her fear destroy their friendship or bring it to the next level?
These were the questions that haunted her.
Evil People
Icy stretched and unfroze her two sisters, Darcy and Stormy.
"Uhg! My skirt is ruined!" Stormy complained.
"Quit your yappin', Stormy." Darcy snapped.
"Hello ladies." A strange voice said. The Trix turned around and faced an unfamiliar man.
He had dirt brown hair and his eyes were a dull brown like unhealthy soil. He was tall and his hair was in a neat ponytail. He had his ears pierced and was wearing guy hoops. One on his left ear and two on his right ear. He had a nose ring and a plain silver band on his ring finger.
"Who are you?" Icy demanded. She liked him from the minute she laid eyes on him. It was clear that this was the case for Darcy and Stormy too. She hoped that this guy wouldn't be like Lord Darkar or Valtor.
"I'm Marcus. I have heard many stories of the famous Trix and decided to make you an offer. If you help me in my quest I will grant you unlimited power. I am not like your previous masters. I will succeed. Unlike them, you will be my partners, not slaves. I have already the four pieces of the codex. I need the ultimate power. You think the Dragon Fire is the ultimate power, but it is not. There was a force that created the Dragon Fire. It was called the Rose Petal. It contains all the essences of the realms and planets. One fairy was born with this power. It was forgotten for centuries until that little – no – for – good fairy Flora was born."
The witches remained speechless. Finally Icy spoke, "Of course we will help you Marcus! This is the opportunity of a lifetime, right girls?"
"Oh, yes." Stormy and Darcy chorused together.
"We'll hide here, on this abandoned planet for now. This used to be the planet of the Rose, until it was destroyed by yours truly."
"Great! We'll leave right away."
"Before you go, here let me boost your powers and give you new crystals."
The witches transported themselves to the Alfea campus.
Good People
Flora returned to Alfea. She was just about to enter the building when it started hailing directly at her. She dodged it and made a run for the bushes.
"This should be easy!" Icy cackled.
"Yeah, from our previous battles, she was the weakest one. How could she have the Rose Petal?" Darcy retorted. She hated Flora most of all.
Flora transformed into her Enchantix and was struck by Stormy's tornado. She suddenly felt a great amount of energy flowing through her and attacked.
"Earth Twist!" Flora yelled and the three witches lay on the ground.
"We'll get you for this, Flora!" Icy screeched and they were gone.
The other Winx girls came running up to her.
"Are you alright?" Layla asked.
"Yeah."
"You had a lot of power back there." Bloom commented.
"Do you know what it was from?" Tecna asked.
"I'm really not sure. This is the first time I felt anything like this."
"We better go ask Faragonda about this…" Musa added.
"Your eyes turned green when you were fighting the witches!" Stella said.
The Winx Club walked to Ms. Faragonda's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The Winx entered the room and sat down.
"I saw what happened out there. I assume you want to know what happened, right Flora?"
"Yes, I do."
"Well, I knew this day would come. Flora you were born with the ultimate power, the Rose Petal. This force created the Dragon Fire and there is a part of it that is unleashed by the codex. You are the only one who can really activate the codex power. The Rose Petal posses the power to all the essences of the realms and planets within those realms. You Flora, hold the key of the universe in your hands."
The Winx remained dumbfounded.
"Me? But I wasn't destined for power! Bloom or one of the others were! Ms. Faragonda, tell me it's not true!" Flora pleaded. She was afraid. What if she made a mistake? What if something went wrong?
"I'm sorry, Flora. But if I told you it wasn't true, I would be lying to you." The principal of Alfea said. "You are destined to defeat all evil. I thought it might be able to be avoided, but it is inevitable now. Marcus, a wizard, wants the Rose Petal. The only way to get it is to capture you."
"Well, I for one will stand by you!" Bloom said, putting an arm on Flora's shoulder.
The other Winx girls remained hesitant.
"You guys, I know what's it's like to feel what Flora feels. I've been through it and I will help Flora." Bloom turned to face her other four friends.
"I'm in!" Layla walked over to Flora.
"Me too." Musa said.
"Count me too!" Tecna followed.
"Okay, but can I pick the outfits? If we're going to go on an expedition, then we need to dress accordingly dawling!" Stella said.
Everyone laughed.
"Winx Club Forever!"
"Can we get the Red Fountain boys to help us?" Stella added.
"I don't see why not." Ms. Faragonda said.
Flora stiffened. What would Helia say?
"Don't worry!" Layla whispered in her ear. She always knew whenever Flora was feeling upset about a certain black – haired boy.
