Flora's POV -
Beep. Beep. Beep.
I heard the sound of our alarm clock going off, unfortunately for me, it was all the way across my room which I share with one of my best friend's, Bloom. I rolled over, still under my blankets, only to be struck by the sun peeking its way through our blinds just as it began to rise. I quickly threw my blankets off of myself so I could sit up and get the sun out of my face, I took a quick glance at Bloom whose bed is directly across from mine where she still laid fast asleep. After sitting on the edge of my bed for a moment, I got up to go shut the alarm off.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The alarm continued as I stammered to the opposite end of the room, rubbing my eyes clear in the process. Finally, the noisy beeping coming from the alarm ceased. I grabbed a pillow that had fallen from Bloom's bed and threw it at her head.
"Ughhh," groaned Bloom as she grabbed the pillow and threw it to the edge of her bed, she proceeded to grip the end of her blanket and tuck it over her face. It was hardly 7:00 am when our alarm went off, but Stella had us out in Magix all last night so needless to say we were all somewhat worn-out.
"Come on Bloomy, it's time to get up!" I grinned as I pulled up her covers to reveal her fiery red hair shielding her face. I walked back over to toss my blankets along my bed to at least have the visual of a neat room. I turned around, to see Bloom had gotten up finally and even managed to make her hair look decent.
"If Stella ever tries to convince us to stay out that late again, especially right before a new term, please hit me," whined Bloom as she opened the door that led to our common room and she exited, but before I left I wanted to water my plants. I glided my finger in the air, which was followed by a stream of pink light. The watering can that was beside my plants was lifted into the air, I used my finger to guide it to each of plants making sure that they each got the correct amount of water. Right as I finished watering the last of my plants, Musa shouted out from the common room,
"Hey girls, we got an urgent letter from Miss Faragonda!"
I immediately stopped watering the plants and walked into the common room, Musa was standing next to the door with a letter in one hand and toothbrush in the other. I watched as the other girls emerged from their bedrooms, and Bloom from the bathroom. The girls and I gave our attention to Musa as she read what the letter stated,
"Good Morning Winx,
I hope you girls are all excited for this term which which is going to be full of new things to learn and especially new opportunities! But, before you girls start off the new school year, I'd like for you all you come by my office so we can discuss some developments at hand.
Thank you,
Miss Faragonda"
Musa lowered the note from her view, and looked at all of us.
"Do you think she knows about last night?" wondered Layla as she gave a worried expression to Stella who did not seem to distressed by the Headmistresses letter. I too was worried that is what she wanted to talk about, we are starting a new term here at Alfea and I would really like to keep a clean record.
"No, I doubt it-" said Stella as she let out a yawn mid-sentence, "We had a really good cover,"
Stella shrugged off the letter and went back into her room to get dressed. I quickly showered and threw some clothes on so that we could go to the headmistresses office.
Stella proudley led us out of our dorm and into the hallway which was flooded with new and returning fairies. As we walked down the hallway to the headmistresses office, it kept running through my mind that Miss Faragonda might have found out about us being out past curfew. Finally we reached the end of the hall which had a large set of double which indicated we have reached the Headmistresses office. Stella still was ahead of the rest of us but she stood and stared in front of the door, Tecna walked up beside her and tapped on her shoulder,
"Stella? Are you going to knock?" Tecna let out a laugh as Stella quickly turned around, she had an uncomforting look on her face.
"Okay maybe I didn't have a good cover, or one at all in fact.." confessed Stella as she paced around in front of us.
"Stell, you told us you would handle it!" cried Bloom as she followed Stella with her eyes. Stella stopped pacing and faced us.
"Yea but then I got so distracted with shopping and everything else I forgot! Now Miss Faragonda is going to make us do something horrible like clean the dining, and to make it even worse, without magic!" stated Stella, she was going pale and was practically about to faint.
"Stella it's going to be fine," I tried to reassure her as we still stood before Miss Faragonda's office, Stella's whole demeanour changed within that second. She turned towards the set of double doors and she just barged in.
"What is she doing!" asked Musa as we watched Stella stomp towards the desk where Headmistress was sitting, with Ms. Griselda by her side holding her clipboard per usual. The girls and I followed in Stella's footsteps still completely astonished as to what she had just done. I've known Stella to do some crazy things, but never to barge into the Headmistresses office!
"Alright we understand that you know about what we've done but you should at least let us-" Stella began to stammer on about how we should get to explain ourselves, but stopped as she scanned the room to reveal that there were other people here. As I turned to look at who was here I realized that standing beside us were the kings and queens of multiple planets within the magic dimension, which is a little odd. Miss Faragonda raised an eyebrow at what her student just said, and next to her Ms. Griselda gave a stern expression because she knew we had to of done something wrong.
"Good Morning to you too girls," said Headmistress Faragonda as she got up from her seat, she walked around to the front of the table. The girls and I stood side by side as Miss Faragonda began to talk about why she called us here, and needless to say I don't think it's because we were out past curfew.
"You girls are all probably wondering why I called you in here today, and you are also probably wondering why it has to do with these royal families," explained Headmistress Faragonda as she gestured towards who walked over to us. She reached out in front of me with a piece of paper with a considerable amount of words on it. I glanced at the paper and its content, while she proceeded to give each of the girls the same paper.
"Because you six are the most promising and strongest fairies to have ever entered through these gates of Alfea, instead a normal term this year, you will be sent on mission," Headmistress Faragonda revealed to us.
"Wow! So no school? Which means no homework?" exclaimed Stella as she jumped with glee, unfortunately Headmistress Faragonda shook her head.
"This mission you will be sent on takes place on planet Earth, you will be attending Gardenia High School where you will be searching for six princes from each of these royal families," explained Headmistress Faragonda as she gestured towards the kings and queens. I've been to planet Earth a few times for missions but it was only for short periods of time, so living and attending school there is going to be, interesting.
"On the paper handed you, is all the information you need to know about your mission, everything from your 'new identities' to everything we know about the princes," Headmistress Faragonda made it clear that the paper we were given was really important.
"Now as for the urgency of this mission, there have been some threats on these boys' lives by the Trix-" began Headmistress Faragonda as some sniffles came from some of the royals fearing for their children.
"The Trix?" the girls and I all said in unison. Ever since we enrolled into Alfea the Trix have always been our biggest enemy and the Magic Dimension's most known villain. We haven't heard much from them since before our last term when we fought them last, no big surprise we defeated them. They went into hiding after that and we haven't heard from them since, the Magic Dimension has been overall safe.
"But why make a threat now?" I asked because I really don't understand why they are threatening six boys who aren't even of importance to them , the other girls looked towards Headmistress Faragonda for an explanation.
"Well the Trix believe if they get rid of the next heir to the throne of their worlds then they can take over them," explained Headmistress Faragonda. That makes sense, if there is no heir to the throne it's easy to overthrow its royals and take over. It's even easier when you have magical powers and a evil desire.
"Yes, but I've seen tremendous work that you girls have done within the Magic Dimension and I do believe you will find our boys, and bring them home" said Queen Samara as she stepped forward towards us, she grabbed Bloom's hands putting her trust into all of us.
"We will do our very best to bring your boys home safely," Layla curtseyed to the royals as she assured them that we were going to bring their children home safely. The royals all exited the room, which left just the Headmistress, , the girls and I.
"Now you girls will need a few things for your mission," began Headmistress Faragonda as she walked back around to her seat, and sat down "along with the paper you got already, you will have these which are going to be your most important possession while you are one Earth" explained Headmistress Faragonda as she placed her hands a few inches above her desk and made six watches appear out of nowhere.
"These watches will all allow you to keep in contact with myself, and each other while you are on Earth. They also have a few other purposes but you girls can figure them out on your own" grinned Headmistress Faragonda as she explained the need for the watches. I grabbed mine off of the desk, and so did the other girls. I wrapped it around my wrist and it beeped as it turned on.
"Another reason these watches are going to be so important is that you will not be using magic whatsoever while on Earth so that you blend in better, unless it is truly needed" Headmistress Faragonda glared into Stella's general direction because we all knew she would be the one to break this rule once we were on Earth. All of us let out a laugh because we knew it was completely true!
The room got quiet again, Headmistress Faragonda's face went from happy and jubilant to serious within a matter of seconds.
"In all seriousness girls, I want you to return back here safely after you have completed this mission! So do watch out for each other.." Headmistress Faragonda finished her statement as she headed to the set of double doors we had entered previously, she swung the door opened just before she was going to say something else.
"Now you girls run along and get your things together you will be leaving for Earth once you are finished packing!" cheered Headmistress Faragonda as she shared a giant smile with all of us. The girls and I made a quick dash out of her office, practically sprinting down the corridors of Alfea back to our dorm. When we finally reached our dorm, Musa swung the dorm door open and we all split up to each of our rooms.
I walked through the common room, then through the door of my room. Bloom had already ran ahead of me and was digging through her clothes to see which she wanted to take on the mission. I grabbed a suitcase that was lodged under my bed, it took a hard pull to get it out from under it. I tossed it on my bed, and the top part flew open. I opened my dresser drawer which was placed near the end of my bed, I dug through some of my clothes, I saw a lot of florals and a lot of springtime colors. I honestly don't know what the weather is like on Earth right now so just to be safe I'll pack on the heavier, no doubt that is what the others are doing.
I looked up to see that Stella had packed and piled a few suitcases into the common room. I shook my head in disbelief, I just don't know how one person can own so many clothes, then yet again it is Stella, Princess of Solaria we are talking about!
"It feels like we've been packing forever," complained Bloom as she threw herself on to her bed which was covered with clothes. Her suitcase sat next to her bed overflowing with clothes and only zipped up partially. I neatly packed all my clothes into the suitcase and I closed it up. I checked my watch to see that we have been packing for about two hours, so Bloom was right, it has been forever.
"Well we have been packing for two hours, should we check if the others are done?" I asked as I picked up my suitcase and set it up right near my bed. Bloom lifted her head from her bed and thought for a moment.
"Yea you go ahead and do that-" she started, "I'm gonna finish this!" exclaimed Bloom as she jumped off of her bed and sat on her suitcase, she repeatedly tried to zip it up but she wasn't making any progress. I walked out of our room and I peeked my head into check on Musa and Tecna.
"Hey you girls almost done?" I asked as I looked over to Tecna, she was lying on her bed examining her new watch as her droids packed clothes for her, she says they are the most 'efficient' way to pack.
"Yes, approximately 2 minutes and 36 seconds until my packing will be completed!" stated Tecna as she pulled out her portable laptop from beside her and began pressing buttons.
"Yea, I've been done" replied Musa, if anyone can pack the quickest its Musa. I exited their room and headed over to check on Stella and Layla, but mostly Stella. The door was slightly cracked open, as I got closer I could hear some frantic talking by mostly Stella but a few comments from Layla here and there. I pushed the door slightly open and I poked my head in, but all I could see were clothes being thrown up into the air and I don't think I can even see the floor. I opened the door all the way and entered.
"Stella what happened!?" I asked as Stella was standing before her bed with a worried expression on her face, I heard Layla but I could not see her.
"Where is Layla?" I wondered as I pondered around the room, suddenly right in front of me Layla popped out from under a pile of clothes with a blouse on her head, she did not look amused.
"Stella, I told you to pack yourself and not rely on magic!" whined Layla as she stood up moving clothes away from her in the process. While that was happening clothes were floating in the air, circling around us causing a gust of wind.
"Stella undo the spell!" I yelled as my hair flew back and forth in the wind, I held down my skirt because it was practically flying off my body.
"I'm trying!" whined Stella as she tried to think of a spell to reverse the damage she has done, I guess we were making so much noise the other three girls entered the room confused as to what was happening.
"Hey what's all the-" began Bloom as she accompanied Tecna and Musa in the doorway of Stella's room. The gusts of wind so strong it slammed the door shut, and almost knocked the others to the floor, in an instant all of us yelled at Stella in unison.
"STELLA UNDO THE SPELL!"
Suddenly without hesitation the wind had stopped, the clothes fell to the floor and everything as calm. I wiped strands of hair from my face, and I looked at Stella who had a blank expression on her face.
"How did you stop it?" asked Tecna as she pulled skirt off of her shoulder and threw it to the floor
"Hm I'm not quite sure? I guess I'm just that good of a fairy" Stella shrugged of the whole situation, not before her bedroom door was swung open and stood there still with that clipboard in her hand!
"Think again " A stern said while stomping her foot, I'm gonna assume that she was the one who undid the spell and definitely not Stella.
"I was checking the hallways when I heard a very loud commotion coming from your dormitory, and to my amusement I come across this" began as she has a very serious tone
"You girls need to start thinking about the way you behave, you all have lots of potential" explained as she used her magic to organize all of Stella's clothes back into the closet and some into her suitcases.
"Now you girls need to get your things together, you should be leaving for Earth any minute now," made it clear that we should have and needed to be ready to leave like two hours ago.
I watched as made her way out of Stella's room, and back to the hallway where she continued to make her way around keeping the halls clear. I looked back at Stella who went back to packing like nothing had just happened, I could not help but to laugh. I went back to my room, my suitcase still sat next to my bed and Bloom's suitcase was nearly closed except for some clothes popping out. Bloom followed behind me and went straight to finish all of her packing.
"So Bloom, what do you think it's going to be like living on Earth?" I asked her as I grabbed some personal possessions like some family photos, to bring with me on our mission.
"Well for one thing it's going to be way different than Magix, considering there won't be any magic there" Bloom said as she still struggled to close her suitcase, I finally set my stuff down and went to help her. I pushed down on her suitcase and she zipped it up practically with no effort.
"Yea true" I let out a laugh as I didn't consider the obvious differences between Magix and Earth.
On the paper that Headmistress Faragonda gave us early today, it had a bunch of information for things such as where we are going to school and our schedules, it also had information about us like our new identities, it's actually kind of weird to think of myself as a different person.
"Alright! I think I am officially done packing," screeched Bloom as she jumped off of her second suitcase, she moved it beside her first one.
"Okay I guess that means it is time to go" I replied as I grabbed my belongings, Bloom followed grabbing one suitcase with her hand then the other. We walked outside into the common room where the girls began to file out into.
"Well girls lets get going!" exclaimed Musa as we all exited our dorm to meet up with Headmistress Faragonda in the front of Alfea.
We walked out into the courtyard of Alfea, there were fairies still getting ready for their introduction classes for the new year. Some returning fairies waved to us as we walked through, others were busy comparing their schedules or catching up from their long breaks apart.
"You know I'm actually going to miss it here" Musa laughed as we saw Headmistress Faragonda standing before the gates of Alfea that represented a pair of wings, and of course stood at her side with clipboard.
"Ah girls I hope you are ready for your mission," said Headmistress Faragonda as we walked up to her, eventually stopping with suitcases in hand.
"We are " Bloom said surely as she looked at all of us in agreement, Headmistress Faragonda shook her head.
"Alright girls we are going to transport you to Earth, once you get there, make your way to where you will be housed during your time there. Become familiar with your mission, contact us if you have any questions about anything," affirmed Headmistress Faragonda as she and stood back. Both Headmistress Faragonda and held their hands up creating a portal out of nowhere, I looked at the portal and all I could see was light, nothing else. We looked as Headmistress Faragonda,
"Alright girls, goodluck" Headmistress Faragonda motioned to the portal, all of us held onto our suitcases, I closed my eyes, and we walked through. It felt as if we were floating in space, but it only lasted for a few seconds. Before we knew it, I opened my eyes, and were in between two large buildings. I looked around, there were trash cans and trash all around, at the other end of the alley way there was a road with car passing by at tremendous speeds.
"Okay girls, let's shrink this suitcases up and let's get going," instructed Stella as she pushed her suitcase forward, she pointed her finger and little yellow light flew from the tip of it surrounding her belongings. Her suitcases shrunk in size, small enough to fit them in her pocket. She began to do that with the rest of our suitcases, once she was done I grabbed mine and slid it into my side bag.
"Now let's go find this apartment" insisted Layla as we made our way out of the alley and onto the sidewalk which was crowded with people making their way to work, or entering shops along the street. I looked around and everything looked similar to that of Magix, but of course for a few magical things here and there. But the overall feeling was way different that any place in the Magic Dimension, and it was not a good feeling. The plants here on Earth don't have as much life and positive energy as those in Magix.
"Hmm I think the apartment is this way," began Tecna as she checked her watched, then directed the girls and I in what she believed was the right direction. As we walked along the street, I saw students about the same age as us coming from the opposite direction with backpacks on.
"I bet those kids are coming from Gardenia High, the same school we're enrolled in" I concurred as I observed the students look at us in a funny manner and whisper as we walked past them.
"Ew school, I forgot about that" sighed Stella
"Oh come on Stella, think about all the new boys you will get to meet," Bloom pointed out to Stella, she immediately grinned from ear to ear
"I guess you're right" said Stella as she changed her whole outlook on the school aspect of this mission. We walked a few blocks before we got to a building, Tecna halted in front of it.
"Looks like this is it," stated Tecna as she walked into an apartment complex, we followed behind still unsure if this was actually where we were staying. Tenca pulled out a key from her pocket, I'm gonna assume Headmistress Faragonda gave it to her because she is the most responsable out of the six of us. We got to the second floor, and the door at the end of the hall had the number 235 above it which Tecna went straight to. She unlocked the door and it opened, so I guess we are in the right spot!
As we entered the apartment, there was a living room which had a couch, a TV and a table with chairs that sat around it. The kitchen was to the left and there was a staircase that led to where three large bedrooms were, which is perfect because we can use our Alfea sleeping arrangements and implement them here. I followed Bloom to our bedroom which was the farthest one, once we entered there were two beds and a dresser for each of us.
"I'll take this bed," stated Bloom as she threw her tiny set of luggage onto her bed, I put my luggage onto my bed and turned it back into its original size. I started to unpack, setting clothes into the drawers and my shoes next to my bed.
2 Hours later -
I put the last of my belongings and clothes into the drawer, then I shut it. Through our window, I could see that it was dark outside. I turn around to see how much Bloom had gotten done of her packing and I see that she is fast asleep on her bed, I couldn't help but laugh because all these girls do is sleep, eat and fight evil.
Since Bloom is asleep and I finished all of my unpacking, plus we start school tomorrow it would be a good time to go to bed. I walked over the the light switch that is next to our door, I flipped it off then hopped into bed. Within minutes of laying down, I was asleep.
The Next Day -
I was fast asleep until I heard a loud noise coming from outside our window, I got up to check it out and some kids were outside talking. Actually they weren't 'kids', there were six teenage boys leaving the apartments with backpacks on their backs. I immediately checked my watch, and school starts in twenty minutes.
I picked my pillow off my bed and threw it at Bloom,
"Bloom, get up! We're late for school," I explained as I ran out of our room and started banging on the other girls' doors.
"Girls get up! We're late for school!" I yelled as I heard moans and groans from the other side of the door, they reluctantly but quickly got out of bed to get ready.
I went downstairs to the kitchen to grabbed something to eat, Headmistress Faragonda said in the paper she gave us the kitchen is stocked up and she wasn't kidding.
I grabbed an apple and ate it before getting ready. The girls and I took turns getting into the bathroom to get ready, I managed to get a few curls into my hair and a little bit of makeup on. I threw on some clothes (Season 6 Outfits), and ran downstairs to get my school stuff ready.
"Come on girls it's time to leave!" I yelled as I checked my watch, we only have five minutes until school starts, and we still had to get there. The rest of the girls came piling down the stairs, and Stella followed but not as quickly. We all grabbed our backpacks and headed to school.
Tecna was leading the way, as usual, since she knew what she was doing all the time. I followed behind as the others had conversations about the mission,
"How do we get stuck doing this mission, and we still have to wake up even earlier than we would for fairy school?" asked Stella as she stammered behind the rest of us
"Shh Stella remembered no magic or magic talk while we're here, in the wide open at least" ordered Musa as she checked around to make sure no one heard what Stella had said
"Yea, yea I know" replied Stella with an eye roll, she isn't usually like this but we were all sort of cranky from being woken up abruptly.
"There it is," began Tecna, "Gardenia High School."
We walked across to the other side of the street, students were piling into the large building after a loud bell rang. The six of us stood there side by side, just thinking about what we were going to encounter when we stepped inside of that school.
"Well here we go" Bloom announced as the six of us walked up to the large double doors in the front of the large building, I actually had butterflies in my stomach because I was nervous which is odd because we go up against the worst villains in the magic dimension on almost a daily basis. I guess it's just the fear of the unknown? We walked into the building immediately catching the eyes of some of the others students, which I wasn't surprised about. We walked to the least crowded corner of the hallway.
"All right girls what are our tactics for this mission?" Tecna asked as we stood in a circle with our schedules in hand.
"Let's make sure we stay together and get to know our surroundings, there's no point of looking for six boys when we don't even know where to look," Musa said as some people shot us weird looks, have they never seen girls before?
"Musa's right," started Bloom as she looked at everyone's schedules, "looks like split our classes up, so lie low and if anyone see's anything suspicious use the watches" she finished lifting her arm up to show her watch, we all shook our heads. That's when the bell for the first class of the day started, lucky for us Alfea has a similar scheduling system so we won't look completely lost!
"You ready Winx?" asked Layla, we all shared uneasy looks but we knew no matter if we were ready or not, this mission had already started the minute we landed on Earth.
"Let's do this!' Stella screeched
