Chapter 1

It was a normal day in Magix. The sun shone bright in the blue sky, the birds sang their songs, and the Winx were out shopping. Well, not all of them, and certainly not together.

Musa was with Lyla in already in the restaurant where they woud be having lunch, waiting for the others (who should be already there, as Lyla had said many times) along with the specialists. Techna had gonne with Flora to the library, in hope of finding a book. Well, one that Flora hadn't read yet. Bloom and Stella were the ones that were actually shoping.

Headmistress Fharagonda had anounced that in a way of celebration of the diversefie of the schools and magic creatures, they would be making a trip throught almost all the Magical Dimension. They would go to almost every important world, like Solaria, Domino, Linfea, and many, many others... And because there would a ball to atend in every Kingdom, Stella had draged Bloom to a shop, to buy some knew outfits.

And there they were. In one of the most glamorous shops in Magix, buying some of the most expensive dresses ever made. The fairy of the sun had placed herself on one of the plataforms, and was now trying diferent clothes, while Bloom gave her opinion, sat on a very confortable armchair.

"What do you think? Does it make me look fat?" Stella gave a twirl and her long pink dress flew around her.

"Stella, I've told you thousands of times: none of this dresses makes you look fat! And it's the third time you try this one!" Bloom rubed her eyes. They had been there for about an hour, and she still hadn't tried any dress. And they were already late! "Look, you know what, I'm going to text the others saying that we can't have lunch with them, ok?"

"Yeah, sure. But do you like more this one or the red one?"

"Argh.."

Meanwhile, our favorite group of witches was entering the very same shop. They were dressed in their usual clothes. As soon as the shop assistent saw them, she gave them a glare and preapared herself to talk to them.

"Look sis', they have a knew employer... I bet she's gonna try get us out." Icy whispered to her cousins.

"I almost feel bad for her. Almost." Darcy looked back at the girl who was getting nearer them.

"I don't. Some people are just better than others. And it happens that we're just better than everyone." Stormy put a smile on her face as well as the other two witches.

"May I help you?" asked the girl. She was now evaloating them, looking them up and down. The Trix didn't normally wear expensive clothes. They prefered to look more... well, less than what they were. They didn't use their familly name to creat a reputation. They had built it all by themselves, working hard to be the best, and now that their litle secret was about to come out to the open, they needed to prove themselves. They needed to be seen as future Queens, and not as pricesses. So they're dresses needed to show that.

"Yeah. We need about... two each?" Icy looked back at the other girls.

"Well, we will need one for Solaria for sure."

"And one for Domino."

"And one for Linfea..."

"And maybe also something for Alfea..."

"Two ceremony dresses for each then!" they had already discussed that. They would only need to buy tow now, and the others they could buy back at home.

"Are you sure?" the shop assistent looked like she was trying to imply something, but Icy ignored it and played dumb. Afterall, they had been buying things on that shop for ages, and they always had some missunderstood with the new workers. But that was only normal, right?

"Well, maybe some shoes too. I could do well with some new sandals."

"Icy, those sandals will be the death of yours. Can't believe you wear them in Winter."

"Oh shill out Darcy. You speak like I could actually catch a col-"

"Look. Many of the Royal familys of Magical Dimention come and buy in this very same shop. Our dresses are of high quality, and very expensive. Way more than any of you witches can afford. So please get out. You're chasing away our clients." the girl (whose name the Trix didn't bother to read on her shirt) was staring at them with suprioraty. This were the best ones to put in their place.

"Oh really? You think WE are chasing your clients away? What you think Darcy? Are the mean ugly evil and poor withces chasing the clients away? Couldn't it be because of this nosy girl?"

"Oh, Stormy, don't bother yourself. I bet Miss Elindra has a diferent opinion. What shall we do Icy?"

"You're a fairy aren't you?" Icy stood closer to the snobish girl in front of her. She nod. "Of course... Of course you are... Just a fairy would be stupid enough to send us away... I tell exacly what we shall do: let's talk with Miss Elindra, I'm sure she will... tend to our needs."

"Icy, Darcy, Stormy! How long I haven't seen you! I was wondering if you had forgoten about me! Anyway, what you're doing here? No, don't tell me. I bet you want to buy some dresses for the upcoming trip of the schools. Come along with me, I have just the perfect thing for you!"

The Trix followed the small and large women througth the shop. Miss Elindra had blond painted hair, pined on top ofher head in a fancy way, and wore a long dark redish dress. She disapeared inside of one of te staff room, in search for some shoes, and left the three students trying out dresses. Stormy went first.

"Did you see that girls face?! I thought a fly was going to enter her mouth!" Darcy relaxed one of the couches.

"Oh, I WOULD like to be a fly right now. Just to see the lecture she will get!"

"Forget about the girl, for goodnesse sake! What do you prefer? Anil or purple!" Stormy was holding tow dresses, her back to her sisters.

On the other side of the, a certain pair of fairys had just witnessesd the all thing. Hiding behind some vases, they sat with their back to the Trix, listenning to the all conversation.

"What are THEY doing here?!"

"Calm down Stella! They'll here us! And why don't we ask the woman that led them here? I bet she can answer that."

"That woman happens to be one of the most famous stylists in all Magic Dimention: Elindra Carla Maria de la Rosa! She is known by her temper! She's even worst than Stormy! And did you see how she welcomed the Trix?! I am princess of Solaria and I have never even talk to her!" Stella was completele fuming at this point.

"One more reason to ask her!"

"You can't just go and ask her! She'd kick us out of here in no time. We need to discover this by ourselves!"

"Or maybe we could ask Mirta?" Bloom was praying to get out of that place. Watching the Trix buying clothes was one of the most disturbing things ever. The comments, the jokes, everything... It was all so natural. The dresses were... like them. Stormy took the tow dresses she'd been holding, Darcy had one green and one purple, thought a diferent color from Stormy's, and Icy was now trying hers. She had already choosed a dark blue one.

"Are you listening to me?!"

"What?!"

"Ugh, never mind..."

They got out of the shop, but not without one last glance towards the witches. They had missed lunch, so better get back to Alfea and explain everything to the others. And call Mirta in too. After all, she had studied in the same school as them.

The Winx listened carefully to the story, making side comments but most remaining quiet.

"From what you told us, they shouldn't have enough money to buy in such a shop..."

"Maybe they have a part-tie job? They could have been saving money for now, don't you think Flora?"

"The Trix?! Working?! That's hilarious Techna!"

"I was just trying to get a logical reason, Musa!"

"What do you know about their family, Mirta?" first time Bloom had spoken in the conversation, and everyone was looking at her with a stupid face.

"Not much... Their parents never showed up to get their marks, neither did they on Family Day. I recall te three of them would spend the party sat on a table drinking and talking the all night. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen anyone of Trix's family... Why do you wanna know?"

"Stella said it was a shop for Royal families. What if the-"

"You don't really think those three could be princesses, do you Bloom? I mean come on? And why would they keep their identety a secret any way?"

"Think about Lyla: it's embaressing to be seen as a princesse for a witch. So they built a reputation, so that later they would be seen not as some kind of litle fayris but as soon-to-be rulers."

"Rulers from where? It does make sense, but there's no kingdom left for them to rule Bloom..."

"Actually... there's a Lengend."

"What you're talking about Mirta?"

"Well... it isn't about them... It's more about the Three Ancestral Witches. But the Trix are kind of they're grandaughters, so..."

"You really think they are?"

"They said it, didn't they Bloom?"

"They implied it! They could just try to scare us!"

"Shut up and let Mirtatel the story!What is it?"

"It's about where they came from. Nobodys knows. But some say that were so diferent that they could be from another world... One that hasn't been explored..."

"That... was not very helpful." Techna stood up and said. "Knew plan: let's ask Miss Fragonda!" Stella stood up and made her way to the door. Before she could grab the handle, Techna said something that stoped her.

"And what will we tell her? That we think the Trix are relate to the Three Ancestral Witches, so they are from some knew planet who no one has ever heard about? She won't tell us! Besides, if we are asking someone, it would be better if it was Miss Griffin." Stella turned on her heels and placed her hands on hips.

"Then what do we want us to do? Wait until they come and tell us themselves?"

"We could try to discover more on the trip. It's just three days of wait. And we could also ask the Specialist for some help!" Bloom was getting really interesting in this.

"That sounds like a plan!" and with Flora's coment, they went back to their own affairs.

However, Bloom couldn't stop thinking about the Trix. The first place they would visit would be Eraklyon. The idea of discovering more of the witches life sound... rather exciting. They were certainly very powerful, and had a bond between them that seemed unbreakble. Knowing more about how was their childhood, or who were their parents, what they like... stuff like that, made them seem more real. It was weird, but it certainly would be fun!

To be continued...

A.N.: Hey there! I hope you enjoyed first chapter! Winx werte probably one of the things that marked my childhood the most, along with Harry Potter and Huntik. I've allways wanted to right a fanfiction about them, but I never knew how I would do it. So now that I started, I will never stop until I reach the end. Because it doesn't matter where I am, Winx will always be part of me. Principaly the Trix. By the way, it as come to my attention that many people don't know that there are more than 2 seasons. So let me just tell you, that there are about seven! If you want to watch them, just go to the YouTube channel "Mami Melo" and in the lists of the videos, we will find there all of it and much more. One last thing: sorry for any mistakes you might find, I portuguese and only fifteen, so I'm still leraning. Adeus.
