Note: No Layla in this story….simply because she's not one of my favorite characters in the series so I don't really know how to portray her…besides, me writing about Nabu…makes the story awkward…because he's kinda awkward to me. Sorry! Don't hate me, but it's just the original girls&guys like in season one, but Helia is here…that may be kind of confusing…so No Layla&Nabu, but Helia exists. Simply because I just couldn't leave Flo alone this holiday season!3 R&R(:

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!


"Musa…" He said faintly as he stood facing her.

"Y-yes?" She muttered.

His hand caressed her cheek, an action very unlike one which he would normally do. She leaned into him so close that she could feel his warm breath on her face. Placing his other hand on the back of her head, she wrapped her arms around his neck. Cautiously he leaned in, and she closed her eyes awaiting the sensation….

Smack!

"Wake up sleepy head! Bloom wants to tell us something!" Stella yelled, pillow in hand at the edge of Musa's bed.

Considering her possible actions, Musa restrained herself from attacking the blonde fairy.

"This better be good." She mumbled getting up from her bed, taking her comforter with her.

Five minutes later the girls were all gathered in Bloom's room. Musa sat on the ground knees to her chest, snuggled in her comforter leaning against Bloom's bed. The other girls simply stood in front of her.

"What is this about?" Tecna asked, none too happy with the disturbance at seven in the morning.

"Yeah," Chimed in Flora, "I was having a really good dream…" She trailed off.

"Alright, so I was thinking…since it's winter break, and Christmas is right around the corner, we could totally do a Secret Santa, and have a get together and even invite the boys over to hang out!" Bloom said with a huge smile on her face.

Everyone, save Musa, gave her a slightly confused look.

"Oh, c'mon guys! Don't you think it would be fun?" She asked, confused as to why they weren't as excited about the entire ordeal as she was.

"That sounds great sweetie…" Flora said, "But, uhmm—"

"What the heck is a Christmas?" Stella beamed in, cutting Flora off.

"What's Christmas?" Bloom asked in disbelief, "It's only the biggest holiday of the year!"

"Uhh, right…so what's it for?" Stella asked again.

"It says here on the Realm Wide Web that Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ celebrated generally on December 25th by billions of people around the world…"

"So, it's an Earth thing?" Stella asked with a displeased tone in her voice.

"It seems so." Tecna concluded.

"What do you do?" Flora asked still confused.

"Well for starters you give and recieve gifts from everyone, and you get to put up a Christmas tree in your home, and decorate it. People go caroling all the time, I personally think the best thing about it is sitting around the fire together drinking hot cocoa and spending time with everyone, because it's really about being thankful for everything and everyone you have in life." Bloom finished out of breath.

"You put a tree…in your house..?" Stella said, still not pleased with the concept of Christmas.

"That's not the point Stella!" Bloom said, "C'mon girls, it'll be fun! Please?"

"Oh, alright sweetie." Flora said giving Tecna a questioning look.

"I don't see why not. Stella?" She asked.

"Do we have to…?" She whined, earning a stern look from Tecna, and puppy dog eyes from Bloom.

"Oh, fine." She half smiled.

"What about you Musa?" They all turned to find Musa, head thrown back on Bloom's bed, with her mouth slightly open, drooling.

"MUSA!" Stella screamed, causing the sleeping fairy to jump slightly.

"Hmmm…what?" She asked groggily.

"How do you feel about celebrating Christmas?" Flora asked in a sweet gentle tone.

"Huh? Uh…yeah, sure." She said as she fell over and curled up into a ball on Bloom's floor.

"Good! Then pack your stuff girls! We're going to Earth!" Bloom said happily.

"I'll go call my Schnookums, and the boys!" Stella yelled as she ran out of the room.


Two hours later the Winx and Specialist stood outside, waiting for Stella.

"What's taking her so long?" Musa asked irritated.

"I'll go check on her…" Bloom said walking back inside. Ten minutes later she walked outside juggling four of Stella's bags, with Stella in tow holding her purse.

"Alright Darlings! Lets get this show on the road!" She annouced clapping her hands.

"It's about damn time." Riven muttered, before boarding the ship.


About an hour later they arrived at their destinstion.* Once bright and sunny Gardinia, was now covered in a think white blanked of snow. Small snowflakes floated to the ground as ringing bells and Christmas spirit filled the air. The town busy with Chritsmas shoppers out and about, buying gifts for their loved ones and friends.

"Mom, Dad…I'm home!" Bloom announced, as they walked through the door of her former home.**

"Is that you honey?" her mom called from somewhere in the house. "I'm in the kitchen, come on in!" She shouted once again. Filing into the house they all gathered around the dining room table.

"My, you've brought all of your friends with you…well you all are welcome to stay here if you like."

"Actually mom, we were going to check into a hotel downtown. Then we were going to go shopping. We just came by to say hello real quick." Bloom said.

"Well have fun dear." Her mother said to her as they started for the door.

"Alright, we'll be back later. Bye mom! Tell dad I said hi!" She shouted as they left.


*I have no idea how long it takes to travel to a different dimension…but it can't take that long right?

**Where on earth(no pun intended) they found a place to park their giant ship is beyond me…so use your imagination people!(: Come on be creative!

R&R Please!
