The sky was twinkling with little lights emitted from the stars high above. The soft wind caressed the lush plants and forest animals. Crickets could be heard along with the sound of lapping water in the lake. The enchanted forest whistled as the breeze swept its way.

In the midst of the serenity of the night were six young girls. They were all sitting together on the front steps of their school, Alfea College for Fairies. They were waiting for their dates to pick them up.

"What a beautiful night." mused Flora as she closed her eyes and tilted her head back to enjoy the breeze. Her hair was swept away from her face, revealing tan skin, plump lips, and dark, lush lashes.

"I predict no chance of a storm. Peace and quiet all night long." said Tecna. She was holding her palm pilot and checking the forecast. She tucked a stray strand of purple hair behind her ears as she concentrated.

"Put that away Tec. Just enjoy nature without any technology tonight." said Stella as she playfully snatched the pilot away from Tecna. Her blond hair flowed freely as she danced around. Her golden eyes, framed with long, dark lashes, sparkled with delight as she watched her friend look at her imploringly.

"Stell give that back to her." begged Bloom as she watched her friend's playful antics. Her long, fiery red hair was let loose and waved until it touched the bottom of her back.

"Fine." pouted Stella. She held out the palm pilot and dropped it in Tecna's waiting hands. "Besides Tec, I don't really think you'll need that tonight." she winked.

"What do you mean by that, Stella?" asked Tecna. She loved her friends dearly, but sometimes she felt like she would never understand their emotion or their logic.

What on Magix does Stella mean? What does she think will happen tonight? thought Tecna.

"She means that since you're going on a date with Timmy tonight, you'll forget all about technology." piped in Musa. She twirled one of her long, dark pigtails as she watched the comprehension dawn on Tecna's face.

"If only!" ranted Tecna. "Timmy won't so much as look at me, much less take my mind off of other things. Well, when I'm around him, I can't really think of other things anyways."

"Well it's his loss for not paying attention to you Tecna." said Layla. Her dark mahogany curls shined in the light cast by the moon and stars. Her plump lips and dark blue eyes glittered.

"Then let's do something about it." said Stella. "Tonight, you're going to make him wish he snagged you ages ago."

"I'm afraid I don't know how to make him feel that way." said Tecna. Her eyes were downcast as she realized she could never be as comfortable or as good at flirty as the other girls were.

"You'll be fine Tecna. Just be yourself. I've seen Timmy around you. He's as flustered as you are, probably even more." comforted Bloom.

"Yeah. You're a total catch!" chimed in Stella.

"Any guy would be crazy to not go for you Tec." said Musa.

"You're beautiful inside and out sweetie." added Flora.

"Thanks guys." smiled Tecna. She was soon engulfed in a group hug with her best friends. She was glad to have friends like them. Her confidence was now strong and loud. She was ready for this date.

"I hope we're not interrupting anything." a deep voice interrupted their group hug.

All the girls looked up and a smile was lit on each and every one of their faces.

"Sky!" smiled Bloom. She quickly approached the source of the voice.

"Hey Bloom." smiled Sky. His long blond hair shone in the moonlight and his light blue eyes stared deep into her soul. "Ready to go?"

"Yeah. I'm ready!" said Bloom. "Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise." winked Sky.

Bloom mounted his leva-bike, waved goodbye to the rest of the gang and sped off into the night with Sky.

"We should get going." said Riven, roughly. He was trying hard to not look at Musa, for her knew that once he looked into her captivating azure eyes, he would get lost and completely weak in the knees. He'd end up like Timmy, afraid of even speaking to her or worse, like Brandon and Sky. Head over heels.

"Aren't you going to say hi to me?" asked Musa. Her blood was starting to boil. She thought they were over these petty games in which he would play the brooding bad boy and she would come to his rescue.

Her voice. Just as captivating and immobilizing as her eyes.

Damn pixie swore Riven. The effect she had on him was not healthy.

He looked up at her and almost lost it. She was so beautiful. Her milky skin shone in the moonlight, and her hair caressed her arms as the wind softly blew it.

She walked up to him and placed her arms on his chest. She smirked as she felt his heart hammering in his chest.

"That's my smirk, pixie." growled Riven.

"Oh yeah?" challenged Musa. "Then take it back."

Riven scowled and wrapped his arms around her petite frame. He lowered his mouth to hers and captured her lips in a tender kiss. For such a monstrous brute on the battlefield and in the hallways, he was a sap around Musa.

"It's fairy." corrected Musa when she pulled way too soon for Riven's liking.

"Yeah, yeah. And by the way, hi." smirked Riven, his violet eyes piercing her to the core. He unwound his arms from hers and headed towards his leva-bike.

Musa rolled her eyes, a little dazzled by him, and followed after him. She sat behind him, wrapped her arms tightly around his muscular torso and watched as they sped further and further away from the school.

"Hi Tecna." said Timmy, shyly. He could never think logically around this girl. She had him babbling like a fool on most days and completely speechless the rest of the days. This one girl could turn Red Fountain's smartest student into a complete idiot, missing all signals and signs that came him way. But he was never great at girls anyway.

Remember Tecna, confident and sexy. thought Tecna.

"Hi Timmy." she smiled at him. She dropped her gaze and looked at the ground.

"Let's get going." he took her hand in his and led her to his bike. "Hold on tight." He readjusted his glasses and turned on the engine.

"Alright." huffed Tecna as she got on and watched the school get smaller and smaller.

"Hi Helia." said Flora, shyly. She made her way over to him.

"Hello beautiful." smiled Helia. His long black hair was swept in a low pony tail, covering one of his grey eyes. He gave her a kiss on the cheek as he helped her onto his bike.

Flora sighed as she felt butterflies flutter in her stomach. She felt giddy as the wind blew her hair back as they sped off.

Layla had already mounted the bike and was waiting for Nabu to take them to their destination.

"In a hurry?" laughed Nabu as he got in the front seat. His dark brown hair was in a braid, cascading down his back.

"Just excited for some alone time." explained Layla.

Nabu smiled and turned around to kiss her gently on the lips. "Let's go. Hold on tight."

Layla nodded, flushed and giddy, even though she wouldn't admit it.

Brandon was so engrossed in the object of his affection he didn't even notice his other friends had already left. Stella smiled coyly at him. He lowered his head and kissed her, not caring that they were still in public. Some of the students were still in the quad, enjoying the peaceful night.

"Brandon!" laughed Stella.

"What?" smiled Brandon. His widened his chocolate brown eyes in innocence.

"Nothing." said Stella. She kissed him quickly on the lips and headed over to his leva-bike. Brandon admired her from behind before he joined her and whisked her away to their romantic date.

Confident and sexy, confident and sexy! What am I doing? screamed Tecna in her mind.

They had stopped near a running creek, secluded and peaceful. Timmy had laid out a picnic blanket and taken out a picnic basket as well. They were standing next to it while Timmy worked up enough courage to make a move on Tecna.

Timmy took a shaky breath as he tentatively took Tecna's hands in his.

Tecna tensed as she felt his warms hands engulf her petite ones. She slowly looked up into his hazel eyes.

Timmy inched his faced closer to hers.

All Tecna could do was nod. He was so close to her.

Is he going to kiss me? thought Tecna. Her heart was beating a millions beats per minute.

Timmy was just as nervous.

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? he freaked.

He took a deep breath.

I'm her boyfriend god damnit! I shouldn't be this way. Be a man! thought Timmy.

He moved even closer to her, wrapping his arms around her small body.

Tecna was shocked but pleased at his boldness. She enjoyed the feeling of his arms around her. Sure, he was not the most physically enhanced specialist on the team, but she didn't want that anyways. She always felt that bulging muscles and a rock hard core were intimidating. Not to say Timmy was not muscular. He was in his own way. He had well defined abs and nice arms, but they were not as defined as the other guys' muscles. He made up for it in his smarts. The other specialists were smart as well, but Timmy topped them all.

Timmy then built up enough courage to slowly but surely press his lips against hers. It was not a steamy kiss like something you would find Brandon and Stella doing, but it was special.

Tecna melted at his touch and responded to his kiss.

All senses gone, the two fell onto the picnic blanket. Timmy had rolled so he would take most of the impact. Tecna lay on top of him, smiling. She scooted so she was lying down next to him. Timmy looked into her light blue eyes, and thought, How did I get so lucky?

He stroked her hair gently and said, "I love you."

He froze. What had possessed him to do something so rash? He did in fact love her deeply and truly, but he was not sure whether she was ready to hear it yet.

Oh no. This is bad. This is really bad. panicked Timmy.

But to his surprise, Tecna did not jump up and run away from him. She did not yell at him for toying with her feelings by not paying attention to her, then dropping the bomb of the L word. Her eyes did widen and her breath did hitch, but what she did next Timmy had only experienced in his dreams.

"I love you too." she said.

Timmy stared at her in disbelief. He was numb with happiness. Never in a million years would he have dreamt of this happening. The girl he loves reciprocates his feelings for her. Officially the best day ever.

"You do?" asked Timmy, just to make sure.

Tecna laughed and nodded, not trusting her voice. She was sure she would burst with happiness at any moment now. She wanted to pinch herself to make sure this wasn't a dream.

She felt his arms around her. Firm, solid, and real.

Timmy laughed in relief. Completely unrestrained now, drunk off of happiness, he kissed her full on the mouth, blissfully lost in the moment.

Helia and Flora had stopped in a clearing in the forest.

"This is so peaceful. So beautiful. So serene." said Flora as she relished in Nature's embrace.

"Just like you." said Helia, wrapping his arms around her. He gazed deep into her deep green eyes, mesmerized. "And to think I never would have met you if I hadn't visited Red Fountain that day."

It was true. Helia did not originally go to Red Fountain. He was visiting his Grandfather for the unveiling of the new campus. Brandon had introduced him to Flora and her friends. He was immediately entranced in her beauty and loving nature.

Once he met her, he knew what he had to do. Saladin, his grandfather and also the headmaster at Red Fountain, had been lobbying for him to attend Red Fountain. He was always against it, for he was a pacifist. Red Fountain was no place for someone of his values. However, once he met her, he knew he would do whatever it took to see her again.

They stayed like that, admiring each other in the moonlight.

"Sky, where are you taking me?" asked Bloom. Sky had pulled over and was guiding her, with his hands over her eyes, to an unknown area. She heard cars, many people, and loud, pump up music.

Where did he take me? thought Bloom.

"Just wait and see. You'll love it. Trust me." said Sky. He slowly walked her along a smooth path.

Bloom felt him suddenly stop and steady her with his arms.

"You ready?" Sky breathed in her ear.

Bloom nodded, feeling his hot breath against her neck.

Sky lifted his hands from her eyes. Bloom squinted, her eyes adjusting to the bright lights. Bloom gasped.

"No way!" she playfully hit him on the chest and ran up to her surprise.

In front of her was the Earth event, New Year's Eve. They somehow made their way to New York City. She was standing amidst the excitement. She wasn't going to celebrate it this year, since Magix had a different schedule, and they celebrated it differently. There were different customs and traditions. Bloom missed this.

"How did you know?" she asked, facing Sky. He could see the excitement in her eyes. She was practically jumping from excitement.

"I have my sources." said Sky, coming up behind her and wrapping his arms around her.

"And are you going to reveal your sources?" asked Bloom.

"Not a chance." answered Sky.

The countdown soon began.

5…4…3…2…1…HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The ball had dropped and everyone shared a new years kiss.

"Thank you." whispered Bloom.

Sky could barely hear her over all the cheering, but he got her meaning. He had read up somewhere that it was a tradition to have a new year's kiss.

He held her close and kissed her passionately on the lips.

"Nabu!" laughed Layla. He had brought her to an Earth event. They were in a region called California. They were at the Lakers game. "This is amazing!"

Nabu watched as Layla was captivated in the game. She caught on quickly how the game was played. He silently thanked Bloom for hooking him up with these tickets and an idea on where to take Layla for their date.

"FOUL!" screamed Layla as she jumped up with other numerous exuberant fans.

Nabu had always had the thought of him marrying some primped up princess drilled into his head. He wasn't happy when his parents told him about his arranged marriage, but he knew he would have to. He didn't know he had any other option. He never dreamed of meeting Layla, someone completely different. Someone who made kept him on his toes. She had a strong feminist sense about her, but he didn't mind proving his worth to her every day.

Stella and Brandon had ended up in small village complex. They were walking hand in hand down the quaint little streets. They had just eaten dinner at a snazzy restaurant.

Brandon was waiting outside a café for their coffees to be served to them while Stella went to the bathroom. He then saw movement in his peripheral vision. He thought Stella had come back, but it wasn't Stella. he looked up to see a girl with long, wavy brown hair smiling coyly at him.

Brandon started to feel uncomfortable. Sure she was pretty, but he was in love with someone else. Stella to be exact.

"May I help you?" he asked. He just wanted Stella to come back. Scratch that, he wanted Stella to come back when the girl left. No need to worry Stella over nothing. After the Mitzi incident, Brandon was paranoid at being thought of as a cheater. He was anything but a cheater. Sky had even called him a lovesick puppy when he was around Stella. In a sense, he was kind of like a little puppy. He was devotingly loyal and completely smitten with Stella.

"The real question is, can I help you?" smiled the girl. She leant over so she was face to face with Brandon. She tried to position her body so her assets would practically spill out of her top. Unfortunately for her, that wasn't the look Brandon liked. Sure Brandon was a flirt who went for pretty girls, but he liked them classy and poised. Like Stella.

"No I don't need any help." stated Brandon. He stood up so he was now towering over this girl. "In fact, I'm waiting for my girlfriend to come back."

He had hoped dropping the girlfriend bomb on her would make her back off, but she was relentless.

"I don't see her." said the girl, coming closer to Brandon.

What the hell is her problem? thought Brandon.

"Then turn around." a new voice joined in.

Brandon felt a mixture of many emotions at that point. Guilt, relief, fear, mostly fear. He looked behind the stranger to see Stella glaring at the girl.

"Well I don't see much." stated the girl. That was the wrong thing to say. Nobody makes a move on Stella's boyfriend, and nobody insults Stella.

"Listen you little—" started Stella.

"Ladies!" interrupted Brandon before things got out of hand.

He turned to the stranger. "Listen, I don't know what your problem is, but I'm not interested. I have a girlfriend, right here—" he pointed at Stella. " and I don't appreciate you insulting her. So once again, I'm not interested. Good bye."

With that, Brandon took Stella's hand and led her away from the strange home wrecker.

"That was really noble Brandon." complimented Stella.

Brandon laughed. Of all the things to say. Stella was unpredictable, something he really enjoyed. She had her moments but, hey, who doesn't? He looked at the blonde beauty, "What can I say? You bring that out in me."

"My hero." smiled Stella.

Brandon held her close and tucked a blonde hair behind her ear and marveled at her beauty.

"I love you." he said and he couldn't have meant it more.

"I love you too." said Stella. No matter how many times they exchanged those three words, Brandon always felt a feeling of ecstasy whenever she said it. It meant that he found his soul mate. He found the girl he would spend the rest of his life with. He was blessed.

Riven had driven him and Musa all the way to the edge of Magix. He knew of a spot on a small highland plateau, overlooking the city and embracing all the sounds.

"Wow." exhaled Musa. "This is incredible."

"What can I say?" said Riven. "I have a few tricks up my sleeves."

"Rigghtt." Musa played along.

Riven had placed a blanket on the ground for them to sit on. He sat down first. Musa nestle between his legs and leaned against him.

Her smell, her closeness, all of which were driving Riven mad. He had always thought love was for buffoons who were too idealistic. He had believed that there was no such thing as true love…until he found her.

Musa changed everything for him. He was so unaccustomed to such deep feelings he tried to push her away. As much as he hated to admit it, he was afraid of these new feelings. He was deeply ashamed of the way he tried to push Musa away. He was downright cruel and an asshole. He wasn't proud of it, but it seemed to be his only option at the time.

But low and behold, Musa broke through his barrier. She broke through his tough guy act and found him. The real him. The Riven he keeps hidden under all the guards he puts up.

Not to say he's a giant softy, but he did have a real soft spot for Musa.

Musa glanced up at him. "You okay?" she asked.

"Yeah just thinking." replied Riven.

"Should I be concerned?" asked Musa.

"No, it's nothing. Everything's fine." answered Riven. But truthfully, he was freaking out. One of his arms was draped around Musa while the other was clenched firmly in his pocket. In his fist, was a little case. And in this little case, contained a little ring.

Who would have thought Riven to be the first one to settle down? No one. Not even Riven. But one look at Musa, he knew it was right. He and the guys were seniors at Red Fountain University. Twenty one is a young age to get married but not if you found the one, which Riven did.

"No, something's up." said Musa, sitting up to look at him.

Damn pixie thought Riven. Way too intuitive

Riven took a deep breath and looked at her, his violet eyes penetrating her azure ones.

"You're right." said Riven. "But it's nothing to be concerned about." he added quickly as he saw worry and concern flash across Musa's face.

Riven straightened up and stood up. He held out a hand for Musa. Musa took his hand, and he helped her up.

"When I first met you, I was scared. I didn't like the rush of feelings that overcame me." started Riven. He was never good at expressing emotions. "So I pushed you away, and I am sorry for that. I was an idiot."

Musa just stared at him.

What's going on? she thought.

"But it was also you. You had to be, well, you." gestured Riven. "All I wanted was to graduate Red Fountain High and join the elite guard, but then you came along, attracting danger wherever you went. I tried to not think about you, but I couldn't. It didn't help that you're a princess, and I'm me."

"Riven, what's this about?" asked Musa. "You know I don't care about status."

"You keep saying that, but in the end, I'm no good for you." said Riven.

What the hell man! Where are you taking this conversation! thought Riven. He didn't know what he was doing. He was so nervous he was just rambling, and apparently, not in the right direction.

"You are good enough for me!" begged Musa.

Oh no. What is he doing? Is he going to break up with me? she thought.

"But that's the thing! I'm not!" stated Riven.

Tears welled up in Musa's eyes as she understood his meaning. Or so she thought.

She's crying? Crap! What am I doing? panicked Riven.

He made a move to comfort her, but the next words out of her mouth stopped him in his tracks.

"Are…are you breaking up with me?" asked Musa as she held back tears. Anger and sadness boiled within her.

"WHAT?" screamed Riven.

"You're breaking up with me aren't you." said Musa "But then why go through all the trouble of taking me to this beautiful place?"

"No, Muse—" pleaded Riven.

"You're such a jerk!" shouted Musa as she walked away from him. "What are you trying to do to me?"

"I'm trying to propose to you!" shouted Riven.

Musa stopped in her tracks.

"You're…what?" asked Musa. She could barely find her voice.

Riven walked up to her. "I am trying to propose to you." he repeated. "I was trying to work my way up to it, but of course, I screw up."

"You're proposing to me?" asked Musa. She couldn't believe it.

I'm such an idiot! she scolded herself.

"Yeah. I planned stuff and everything, but damn, pixie, where did you get that I wanted to break up with you?" asked Riven.

"You were saying how you didn't measure up and how you shouldn't be with me." said Musa quietly. Her embarrassment was almost too much for her to handle.

Riven sighed and knelt down on one knee. He pulled the ring case out of his pocket and held it in front of her. "Musa of Melody, will you marry me?"

"So you're not breaking up with me?" asked Musa. She immediately regretted it as she saw something flash in his violet eyes.

"Yes! Yes! I will marry you!" said Musa.

Riven picked her up, twirling her in the air and kissed her.

"And for the record, pixie, I'm not breaking up with you."

"That's fiancée to you." teased Musa.

Riven laughed and kissed her again, so happy, nothing felt real.

"Show me the ring again!" shrieked Stella.

Musa laughed and held up her ring. She finished telling her story to the girls, giving them something to laugh at.

"Classic Riven!" laughed Stella. "He makes something as romantic as proposing turn into a false break up!"

"It wasn't funny at the time." stated Musa, flicking one of her pigtails behind her.

The girls were on their way to class and recounting their stories to each other.

"Well Brandon totally stood up for me, and it was so romantic!" squealed Stella.

"Timmy kissed me!" admitted Tecna.

"Stop! That's wonderful!" said Bloom.

"I'm so happy for you!" said Flora.

They had reached their classroom. Layla pushed the door open and they all filed in the room. Palladium was in the front, getting his notes ready. One by one, the girls took their seats, still giddy from the events of the previous night.

"Sky took me to Earth for New Year's Eve!" whispered Bloom.

"I thought New Year's was in a few months." said Tecna.

"Not on Earth." states Bloom.

"That's so romantic." said Flora.

"What did you do Flo?" asked Musa.

"Well, Helia took me to this really romantic—" Flora was cut off by Palladium clearing his throat.

"Alright class. Today we're going to be trying a new concept. I trust you all read the chapters on the essence of time." said Palladium.

"Er…what?" asked Stella.

"Not now Stella." said Palladium. "Actually, come on up with your group."

All the girls glanced around nervously. They were so caught up in their dates, they forgot to read the assigned chapters. Even Tecna!

"Alright girls, now just like you read, I want you to converge your powers together to capture the Essence of Time." explained Palladium.

"Let's give it a try." said Bloom.

She and the girls transformed into their Enchantix, and concentrated, which was difficult to do since they did not know what they were doing.

Alright, how hard can this be? Essence of Time, Essence of Time, come on out! thought Stella.

Suddenly, a flaming purple portal opened up, sucking in the Winx.

"AHHHH!" shouted Stella.

"WHAT IS THIS?" screamed Musa, trying to grip onto one of the desks.

"WHAT"S GOING ON?" yelled Bloom, as other students tried to grab onto her and her friends.

"Girls, girls! Remain calm!" screamed Palladium, though he seemed extremely frazzled.

He tried desperately to counteract whatever magic they did there, but it was fruitless. One by one, the girls were sucked into the portal, disappearing.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Bloom groaned as she slammed the snooze button on her alarm. She slowly sat up, rubbing her head. Her head was pounding.

What happened?she thought. She didn't even remember going to bed, much less how she got in her room.

She looked across the room to find Flora in a similar state.

"You okay, Flo?" she asked.

"Yeah. Just a headache." she answered.

"Same here. I wonder what happened?" wondered Bloom.

"I don't know, but we're going to be late for class!" said Flora, startled.

They quickly got ready, and were greeted by four other confused and head-ached fairies.

"Head…pounding, no speaking… need coffee." moaned Stella.

They got through the day relatively fine, though they were concerned that they hadn't heard from the guys.

"Seriously, the guy proposes to you, but doesn't even bother to call you the next day?" ranted Stella.

"I don't know. I guess they're busy." said Musa, though she, too, was questioning it.

"Helia would always call and update me. I wonder what has happened." said Flora.

"Let's give it a few days. Like Musa said, they're probably really busy with school work. They are all looking for jobs and figuring out what they want to do in life. They are seniors after all. That's going to be us next year." reasoned Bloom, however, she kept checking her phone.

"Yeah. We're fine without them." said Layla. "We can live our lives without boys for a day. Let's have some fun!"

"Yeah!" the girls agreed.

They gave it a day. They gave it a few days. A few days then turned into two weeks.

"That's it!" yelled Stella. "No phone call, not even a lousy text!"

"I'm with you Stell!" joined Musa.

"You should be angry Musa. Riven proposed to you and doesn't contact you for two weeks? That's low!" said Bloom, all reasoning gone.

"Let's march over to Red Fountain and give them a piece of our minds." said Layla.

"I'm in." said Flora.

"Me too." said Tecna. These whole two weeks, Tecna has been having strange feelings. She is extremely worried that she didn't remember going to bed that night. She even checked her nightly logs, and she did not fill in an entry the night before. She never missed a day, so that was extremely unnerving.

They headed over to Red Fountain and marched right onto campus. They realized that the guys were all staring at them, but this time, it was out of beauty and something else. They couldn't quite place it. It seemed as though everyone was wary of them.

The girls shook off those feelings and found the objects of their frustration.

The Specialists. They didn't seem "busy" at all! There they were, sitting at a table in the quad, just chatting away. The nerve!

Stella went up to them about to give them a piece of her mind.

"Ahem." she interrupted their conversation.

Instead of being greeted and apologized to, they treated her coldly.

"What do you want, harpy?" said Brandon.

Stella's eyes widened in shock. The other girls were frozen.

"What did you just call me?" asked Stella.

"Oh I'm sorry." said Brandon, though he didn't look it. "I forgot who I was talking to. Okay so now, slowly, what…do…you…want? Understand?"

The rest of the guys started laughing at this.

Musa had enough. "What the hell guys?" She looked over at Riven, eyes burning.

"Oh, looks like she's mad. Let's—oh wait, I don't care." smirked Riven. His eyes were stone cold and impenetrable, kind of like when she first met him.

"Are you kidding me?" said Musa. Her blood was boiling.

Flora decided to step in. "Everyone let's calm down and try to talk peacefully." She looked at Helia for some help.

"What are you looking at?" said Helia, harshly.

"Well…I…" stammered Flora.

"Oh look, the callous bitch is speechless." snorted Helia.

Flora's eyes burned with tears.

"What do you think you're doing?" butted in Layla. "How dare you talk to her like that!"

"Ooh, shit's going down. You got Miss. Man-eater mad." said Nabu.

"Seriously?" questioned Layla. "You're such a jerk! Maybe we are better off without you!"

"You never had us." said Nabu.

Layla felt tears in her eyes, but she pushed them back. She refused to cry.

I won't let him get the satisfaction of making me cry. What's wrong with him? she thought.

"Everyone, this is extremely illogical!" said Tecna, trying to calm everyone down.

"Wow, Miss. Know-it-all finally speaks. I thought she was just a machine!" laughed Timmy, causing another chorus of laughter from the other guys.

"T-Timmy?" asked Tecna incredulously.

"That's my name." snapped Timmy.

"Okay everyone! Let's stop." said Bloom, trying to get everyone's attention.

"Who died and made you leader?" interjected Sky.

"Why are you acting like this?" asked Bloom.

"The question is: why are you here?" said Sky.

"Yeah." said Brandon. "We don't talk to you, why did you come here. Just to fight?"

"How pathetic." said Riven. "Now go run along and be an annoyance in someone else's life."

The girls didn't have anything to say to that.

They raced back to Alfea and collapsed in tears in their common room.

"How could he?" sobbed Musa. "He freaking asked me to marry him!"

This isn't right. Something's wrong thought Tecna. Starting from the day they woke up in their room with headaches, something wasn't sitting right. She brushed away her tears and started analyzing the air and objects around them.

The chorus of sobs and tears were soon overshadowed by a beeping sound. Tecna's analyzer had finished. As Tecna read the results, she gasped.

"Girls, this isn't our world. We're in an alternate universe."

New Year, New Story.

I hope it isn't too long. Let me know if you want the chapters to be shorter, but I'm pretty sure this is the longest chapter in the story.

Let me know if you like it!
