Hey everyone! I'm back with more Winx Club fanfic! We are new with Birthday Bash, its time to celebrate!
Enjoy!
Alfea was always buzzing with energy when students return from Spring break. Students cheerfully reunite and teachers prepare for a new semester. The plaza was filled with returning students and even some new ones. Some students decide to return home for break, others stay at the school. The Winx Club, for example, spent the majority of break in their own dorm in the teachers wing.
"Stella! Rise and Shine! Let's greet the morning and welcome the students back!" Layla skips into the room and opens the curtains, letting in rays of sunlight. Stella groans and covers her face.
"Stella, I've got oatmeal and fresh fruit for you" Flora walks to the bed holding a tray of delicious smelling breakfast, homemade of course.
"No" Stella turns over to face the other direction
"Stella you've got to eat, you skipped all three meals yesterday" Cora enters the room and picks dirty clothing off the floor and drops them into the hamper.
"No" Stella moans. Outside in the common room, they could hear Musa's morning routine music running on full blast. The three girls in Stella's room exchanged distressed glances.
"Well, I'll leave the food right here okay?" Flora places down the tray and picks up another one with last nights dinner, untouched.
"Stella, I know it hurts, but it has been two months and you havn't left this room since that night. Please get up, get some fresh air, eat something. We're trying so hard to help you, please." Cora says before she exits the room, Flora and Layla behind her, and closes the door behind them.
They were right, two months ago, after their mission to Lynfea, Brandon broke up with Stella in the pouring rain because he thought he didn't deserve her. Since then, Stella's concealed herself in her room, and like Cora said, hasn't left it. Stella knew the girls meant well, but it hurt so much, she felt constant pain, both emotionally and physically. Bloom had been taking over her classes so she could recover, but occasionally she could hear Bloom complaining about her exhausting schedule outside her room. Stella was so lost, everything hurt, why did Brandon have to do this to her?
"How is she?" asks Bloom
"Like usual, in bed, hasn't moved, hasn't eaten, and hasn't talked" Layla slumps onto the couch
"Poor thing" Flora places the old tray on the coffee table
"Anyone talk to the guys?" Tecna enters the room with her handheld
"No, not since the breakup, we've all been doing damage control on both sides" Musa says scanning a magazine
"Yeah, Timmy just sent a text all about the new Brandon" Tecna sits at the table
"What's he been up to?" Bloom asks
"Brandon has been doing nothing but-" Tecna begins, but gets cut off.
"Crying?" asks Layla
"Sleeping?" asks Bloom
"In his room?" asks Musa
"Locking out his feelings and ignoring every attempt to get help?" asks Cora
"No, he's been keeping himself busy. Constantly doing work, whether it's fixing something, patrol, or cleaning" says Tecna
"Whoa, the complete opposite of Stella" Musa responds sarcastically
"He doesn't want to face his feelings. He's trying everything to keep himself occupied" Flora says while pouring a cup of tea.
"It's true" says Bloom
"We desperately need to do something girls" Bloom looks at all of her friends. They have to find a way to get Stella moving again.
Meanwhile, at Red Fountain, the Specialists in training are also returning to from Spring Break. The guys on the other hand remained at the school to work on senior lessons and repair things that needs fixing.
In their room, the boys were getting dressed into their uniforms to do meet and greet to the new transfer students, which, their were quite a few this semester.
"Brandon, open this door right now!" Sky yelled banging on his locked bedroom door. Even though Brandon was keeping himself busy, he still had those moments of major stress.
"Give me a minute!" Brandon yelled
"What? He doesn't want to change in front of you?" Riven walks by Sky and laughs
"Who knows?" Sky crosses his arms and taps his foot
"Brandon locks everything out in attempts to make everything better for us" Helia slips on his wire gloves
"Except it's not working" Jake leans on the wall. Suddenly the door swings open and Brandon enters the common room
"I'll meet you guys downstairs" is the only thing he says before leaving the dorm
"Half of me just wants to punch him square in the face" Sky shakes his head in disapproval
"Why don't you?" Riven smirks
"Because I know better, last thing I need is him lashing out in anger on me" Sky goes into his room to retrieve his uniform.
"Timmy, how are the girls doing?" Helia asks
"Stella hasn't left her room in two months" Timmy reads the message off of his cell.
"Why did Brandon break up with her again?" Jake asks
"Something about her deserving better than a page like him" Sky says reentering the room.
"Why would he think that?" Jakes replies
"Flora was right, you leave that forest a completely different person person than you were when you entered." Helia answers
"We should start heading down" Riven motions to the door. The guys leave the dorm and start heading downstairs for the meet and greet
In Alfea...
"It's nice to meet you, we are so excited to teach you during this new semester! Welcome!" Bloom and the rest of the winx, excluding Stella, stand before the crowd of Alfea fairies outside the school building. Once the group disbands, the winx are properly greeted by Roxy.
"Winx hey!" Roxy runs up to the group
"Roxy! How was your break?" Bloom asks
"It was great! Good to see my parents and be home!" Roxy smiles brightly
"Thats good" Says Flora
"How's Stella?" Roxy asks once she realizes that Stella was missing
"Still in the recovery process, but doing good" Cora replies
"Oh, okay" Roxy gives a comforting smile when a group of other students calls her name and summons her over.
"I'll see you girls later okay?" Roxy waves as she heads towards her other friends. The Winx decide to head back upstairs and think up a plan to get Stella out of bed.
"We could always try an emergency" suggests Layla
"What? Shall one of us cast a bad spell on another to send us to the emergency room?" asks Musa
"How would that get her out of bed exactly? She would just return to bed after" Tecna says
"A chance to flirt with hot guys?" Musa suggests
"No, that would just get her depressed" Cora mumbles while munching on a brownie
"How about we just drag her out of bed? Let's do it now! It's only noon, we've got plenty of time!" Layla pumps her fists in the air
"Very funny, she'll cling to the headboard" Bloom laughs
"How about we sleep on it?" Cora says before entering Stella's room for the hourly routine of attempting to get her out of bed.
"Stella! Time to get up!" Cora stands in front of the door and crosses her arms. Cora was getting tired of this. Stella has been sobbing for to months, Cora's patience level was running low.
"Leave me alone" Stella throws a pillow at the door and misses by a long shot. Cora moves to the dresser and opens the doors
"Look at all of the beautiful clothing you have been neglecting!" Cora pulls out some dresses that have gone untouched four weeks.
"Don't care!" Stella covers her head with a pillow
"What about this brand new makeup? You were so excited to get these new products! Look gold, lime green, sunny yellow, lemon yellow, squeezy blush pink - squeezy blush pink?! What kind of color is that?!" Cora stares at the list of provided colors of makeup
"Go away!" Stella yells
"I'm not going anywhere until you get out of that bed!" Cora waves around the makeup cases
"No!" she yells
"Yes! Get up!" Cora yells just as loud
"No!"
"Yes!"
"I said no!" Stella screams and releases a burst of energy. The others outside the room could hear things falling and Cora screaming.
"What was that?" Musa looks at everyone
"Stella has reached her limit" Tecna sighs. Everyone looks as the doors open and Cora exits Stella's room. Everyone has to stifle back laughter when they see Cora.
"So not funny" Cora groans. The burst of magic sent things flying and the cases of makeup opened. Cora was now covered in assorted shades of gold, yellow, and green. She looked a bit like a clown.
"Hmpt! You - uh - okay? Heh, Cora?" Layla asks while struggling not to laugh
"I'm never doing that again" Cora hisses between gritted teeth
"While Brandon is supposedly doing fine and keeping himself busy, Stella is the most miserable person in this world. Where is my cell phone?!" Cora starts stomping across the room, glittering trailing her path
"What are you going to do?" Bloom asks
"Give him a piece of my mind!" Cora slams her room door behind her.
"I knew Cora was going to crack today!" Tecna laughed
"So called it!" Musa laughed too. Just then a hologram appeared by the balcony doors revealing a digital image of King Radius and Queen Luna separately.
"Hello Winx" Luna greets them
"Queen Luna, King Radius. To what do we owe the pleasure?" Bloom puts down her book
"How is our daughter?" Radius asks
"Uhh, redecorating" says Musa looking at the girls
"Is something wrong?" asks Flora
"Not at all, but as you may know, Stella's birthday is into months, we thought we would send and early birthday present. Maybe it will cheer her up" Luna says
"It might" Bloom is reluctant to think that a present would help Stella, but she did love shopping.
"Well, please give this to her, it is gift from both of us, tell her we love her from the moon to the sun" Radius says as a small present appears on the coffee table.
"We'll do that, thank you" Bloom says and the girls bow their heads. Radius and Luna bow their heads in return before disappearing.
"Odd" says Bloom after a few moments
"What?" asks Flora
"I've never seen those two act so close before. The last time we saw them together, they fought. This is the first time they havn't" Bloom says staring at the present on the table
"Complete opposites, the sun and the moon" Layla says
"The fact that they come together to do this for their daughter proves how much they love Stella" Musa says. They hear Cora's voice and turn to look at her standing at her door
"If they love Stella, and they only want her true happiness, they would resolve their differences. Stella was heartbroken when her parents split. They love Stella, but not enough to want her true happiness." Cora stands at the doorway, her face wiped clean of makeup, but her clothes still smudged with gold.
"But it's the thought of giving her an early birthday present that counts" Cora says before turning around and reentering her room, door shut behind her.
"That's it!" Layla jumps off the couch
"What's it?" Bloom looks up at her
"A surprise birthday party! Let's throw her a surprise birthday party!"
A surprise party sounds like a great idea right?
Dont forget to RxR!
Thanks! :)
