The Winx Clubs New Recruit
Chapter 1
It was a regular day at Alfea, School for Fairies, the bustling of fairies and teachers everywhere, teachers preparing for their class, students hurrying to their seat before class starts, it was a normal day! But something wasn't normal… in fact something was extremely wrong…
"Are you sure?" asked Professor Griffith.
"I'm positive! The Queen of Pixie Village said that the branch has a new bud and its starting to open." answered Miss Faragonda.
"But that branch hasn't had a bud for centuries! Why now?"
"I don't know… but if it's true then we need to find her and bring her here before trouble stirs."
"But their offspring ended centuries ago! They swore."
"Obviously, they broke their promise."
"The reason for that promise is because the last offsprings couldn't handle the power inside."
"Then we must make sure that never happens again! And that she can handle the power."
"Alright. Who should we assign for the mission? Professor Avalon, Whiz-Giz?"
"No… This is a job that someone has done before. The Winx."
"Are you sure? I know they've done it before but Roxy was hard to get through to!"
"I'm sure. Send for them."
When the Winx walked into Miss Faragonda's office they looked worried.
"What's up Ms. F?" asked Musa.
"Ms. Griffith didn't say much. She just said you wanted to see us." added Layla.
"Yes. I asked her not to." explained Ms. Faragonda.
"This must be serious." said Layla.
"It is. I know you all are familiar with the Tree of Life near the Pixie Village… but there is 1 branch that is hidden, from everyone but me, and the Queen of Pixie Village, but Professor Griffith knows about she just can't see it…" Ms. Faragonda explained the whole situation, and when she was through a message from Pixie Village came through.
"The fairy is in Gotham City. Since the bud is almost about to open which means her standard fairy form should activate soon." said the Pixie Queen, as the connection was closed.
"Alright girls you know what you have to do. Just remember this girl might not believe in fairies or mythical creatures. But just like Roxy she needs to be safe and… Understand." explained Ms. Faragonda.
"We got it Ms. F. Don't worry this one is totally gonna do better than… the last." said Musa.
"It wasn't a total blow! We did manage to get Roxy to Alfea. It just took longer than we thought." corrected Layla.
"You can count on us Ms. Faragonda!" said Bloom confidently.
"I know I can." said Ms. Faragonda standing up and leading the girls outside.
"The Specialists will accompany you." explained Ms. Faragonda knowing that the girls would not be happy.
"Ms. F. We can handle this! You said so yourself!" said Stella.
"I know but there's something else about the girl you should know.." said Ms. Faragonda looking worried.
"What else could there possibly be?" asked Tecna.
"Well you know about her parent Selene, Goddess of the Moon, and her father Poseidon, King of the Seas, 1 of the 12 Olympians from Olympus. For centuries the Olympians and Magix have been separated after what happened with Selene and Poseidon. Anyway after that the Olympians decided to, ah… Look for mortals- or earth people -to well… You get it. Anyway once the child was born, they're scent would attract… Unwanted attention… And if that was HALF the blood of a god then what would happen if a full-blooded girl walks about?"
"Oh, my! Anyway, what I don't get is why did they make a promise- that was obviously stupid -to never have any children?" asked Stella dumbfounded.
"Because they had no choice. The 12 Olympians- or 11 -and Selene's sister Hecate vowed to keep them apart. They didn't think having children when they couldn't handle the power was worth the risk or trouble. But as you know now Selene and Poseidon were…. a item." answered Ms. Faragonda.
"How many children did they have exactly?" asked Tecna already regretting asking.
"They never said. It's never been recorded in our books."
Whooosh!
"What?" said Flora looking at a blazing silver arrow with a note in the middle.
As soon as the arrow hit the ground it stopped smoking and the fire went down. Musa stepped over to it picked it up and pulled of the note, handed to Ms. Faragonda and listened as she read.
"Dear Winx Club and Ms. Faragonda,
We hope this message finds you well. We have had a recent development on Olympus, I, Poseidon has confessed that Selene and I have given birth to a child.
As soon as the child was born Selene took off and I have not seen her since. I do not know the name or where the child is. Me and my Brothers and Sisters- The Council -fear that the child cannot take the power of the Sea and the Moon… I know our past has not been… Great, but I hope that you will consider this mission for the girl. We have been watching recently do to this development. And we hope that who you have chosen will rescue her, I have tried to talk to Selene but the only contact was a note saying that if you do not stop calling that there will be no moon on earth or Olympus.
Please help."
~Poseidon
"Wow. That was some note!" exclaimed Flora.
"Obviously, you know that this mission is very important." said Ms. Faragonda looking serious.
"Does, the "Council" know that Poseidon sent this message?"
"I doubt it or else he wouldn't have used an arrow. He would have used an eagle."
"What's the difference which way the message is delivered?" asked Musa.
"Long after the Olympians moved to earth, Artemis disclaimed herself as an Olympian and left the Council, she has always wanted to help make them mad somehow." explained Ms. Faragonda.
"But why? Why leave Olympus?"
"Because they took her twin brother Apollo instead of her."
"Ouch! They sound mean!" complained Stella.
"We'll help her Ms. F! We'll get our things." said Bloom turning around.
"No, need I had them packed." said Professor Griffith using her magic to set the bags in front of the girls, as a Specialists' ship landed and the boys took the bags as they said a few words to each other.
"Make sure the girl knows how great her power is Bloom. I think you can explain it to her the best." said Ms. Faragonda.
"Why wouldn't she, she let loose a few times ,you know." commented Stella getting into the ship.
After they all got onto the ship they all waved then…
"Do you think they'll succeed?" asked Professor Griffith.
"I do hope so." "answered" Ms. Faragonda.
In Gotham City…
"This. Is strange." commented Stella.
"I know. There aren't much trees or flowers." agreed Flora.
"We just have to deal with it." said Bloom staring at a girl wearing "nothing".
When the boys walked over to them they girls looked astonished!
"Wow. Looking good guys!" complimented Stella.
"Thanks. We figured since our last trip to earth we better bring earth clothes in the ship with us." explained Timmy.
"And we checked wear to bunk for the night and found….. a hotel?" questioned Timmy.
"It's where we- uh, the people from earth stay when we visit people or places." explained Bloom smiling.
"Where is it? I call the biggest bed!" said Stella, anxiously.
"Come on, we'll show you." said Sky taking them to the hotel.
"The name of the place is Beach Palace Hotel?" questioned Stella.
"It was the cheapest thing we could find!" exclaimed Timmy.
"It's alright boys. We won't complain… WILL WE STELLA?" shot Musa.
"Heh. No! It's perfect!" acted Stella trying to bring a smile out.
When they finally checked to their rooms(one for the boys and one for the girls)- with a little persuasion from Stella -the girls looked inside their room… It was a little small, they all had to share a bed, but it was ok for the moment. It was decorated in blood red, and white. It had two bathrooms- which can come in handy with Stella! - and a kitchen with a table which fit 4 people and a kitchen counter that has 2 other seats attached to the sink. And next to it was an oven. The travel sized fridge was next to the cupboards, which they both(the cupboards and the fridge) had enough space for the girls, the laundry room was in a closet, which BARELY had enough space for their clothes- thanks to Stella! -some of them still had clothes in their bags! On the right of the dryer was 3 baskets for clean clothes. And finally the living room, it isn't their normal accommodations- especially for Stella -but it was the perfect size for them. It had a TV, a sofa and a couch, and a recycling chair.
KNOCK, KNOCK!
"Huh?" questioned Flora.
"It must be the boys." said Musa closing her half-full suitcase.
When she opened she was astounded to find not the boys but Roxy!
"Roxy? What are you doing here?" asked Musa letting her in.
"Ms. Faragonda sent me after you left. She said you might need help." explained Roxy heading towards the living room with her pink flower-covered suitcase.
"She did." said Flora joining them, with the rest of the girls.
"Why? We already have the Specialists, how much help do we need?" asked Stella pouting.
"Because you all need it! Ms. F knew I had experience with earth people, and that I knew what a girl hiding her special gift would look like. You all have experience with only magic, nothing else. I have yet to learn how to work my powers. I still have enough experience to notice that girl." explained Roxy as she took her suitcase and headed towards the bedroom.
"I don't think have room for your clothes." said Bloom walking in the bedroom.
"That's ok! I can just put it at the end of the bed." suggested Roxy.
"Well, we can have Layla sleep on the sofa and you can bunk with Musa and Flora!" added Stella smiling like she just passed and exam(which didn't happen at all).
"Stella!" said Bloom, Flora, Musa and Tecna in unison.
"No. It's ok guys, I actually feel comfortable on a sofa or couch more than I do a giant bed." explained Layla smiling.
"Are you sure?" asked Roxy.
"I'm sure!"
"Because I c-"
"No."
Roxy sighed.
KNOCK, KNOCK!
"That must be the boys." guessed Stella as opened the door.
"Hey, guys!" welcomed Bloom.
"Bloom. He- Roxy? What are you doing here?" asked Sky.
"Ms. Faragonda sent me." answered Roxy.
KNOCK, KNOCK!
"That's for me!" exclaimed Roxy.
"What? Roxy, I know that Stella would bring a lot, but you?" questioned Bloom.
"No! Not clothes, or makeup. (Roxy opened the door and let the doorman in, when he left Roxy continued…) It's food, and things for a everyday, ordinary girl. Or boy." explained Roxy.
"Good thinking." complimented Tecna.
"I'm been an "earth girl" before. I got the experience." said Roxy as she put away some washcloths.
As Roxy finished putting away the supplies, Bloom was making lunch, and the guys and the girls were setting up for their large group.
"Are you sure the manager is ok with this?" asked Timmy.
"Yeah! Totally! I asked if we could move one table and 4 chairs into another hotel room. I said I would put them back." answered Riven smirking.
"Yeah. Like you can be trusted." joked Sky as he set the 2 tables together.
When they were finished setting everything up. Bloom introduced a new food for them: macaroni & chicken nuggets.
"It looks… Nice." said Flora looking a little disgusted.
"Come on it's good." encouraged Bloom.
"It really is! My dad and I would eat all the time. When I was at Alfea I missed it soo much!" added Roxy.
"Well… If you insist." said Musa as she took a bite of the chicken nugget.
Everyone looked at her waiting for her opinion.
"Well?" asked Stella.
"It's surprisingly good! I never knew earth food like this could taste so good!" exclaimed Musa.
Roxy smiled as everyone took some of… Well, everything!
When they got done cleaning everything up it was 2 PM.
"Hey, Roxy." said Bloom.
"Yes?" replied Roxy putting some dishes away.
"Where do you think we should look? For this girl."
"Well, Ms. Faragonda said that the bud is almost open, so… Probably a high school. It seems like the right thing, because I was 16, and you were 13. I was late because I didn't know but you had some help."
"Hmm. Seems right to. Tecna?"
"Yes?" answered Tecna.
"Look up some high schools in Gotham, we just might find her." asked Bloom as her phone rang.
"Who is it?" asked Musa getting a soda.
"It's Ms. Faragonda." answered Bloom as the girls gathered around.
"Bloom! I see that Roxy is there." said Ms. Faragonda as Roxy waved.
"What's up, Ms. F?" asked Musa.
"Well, I just wanted to see how things were going." answered Ms. Faragonda.
"They're going alright for now. Roxy and I have discussed where the girl might be." explained Bloom.
"Oh? Where?"
"A high school. The bud is about open so she would be 13, like Bloom." put in Roxy.
"Good choice!" agreed Ms. Faragonda.
"I'm searching right know for the possible schools. It looks like there are 4, Gotham West, Gotham East, Gotham North, and Gotham South." explained Tecna.
"Alright, girls I see that everything is under control. Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Ms. Faragonda." said the girls in unison.
"How are they doing?" asked Professor Griffith.
"All I know- and them -is that they suggest a high school, it is possible. The Pixie Queen said that the girl would be about 13 years of age." answered Ms. Faragonda.
"Hmm."
"I hope they can find her."
"Alright. Today is Mon. that's the 1st day of school for every week, the school days end Fri. each week, the time they start is usually 8 AM, they usually end at 3:30-4:00. Tecna is this a private school or a public school?" asked Bloom.
"Private. We'll need a uniform." explained Tecna.
"Stella?"
Stella looked at the uniform.
"Eww! So GROSS!" exclaimed Stella as everyone stared at her.
"Well it is! Ugh.. Yes, I can do it." added Stella as she sighed.
"There are 4 schools. Which means that means that Musa, Flora and Helia will go to Gotham West, Stella, Tecna and Timmy will go to Gotham South, Layla and I will go to Gotham East, Roxy and Brandon will go to Gotham North, and the rest of the boys will go look in town." explained Bloom as Stella waved her hands.
The uniforms were EXACTLY like the pictures!
"Nice job Stella!" complimented Roxy as Stella smiled.
"Alright we start tomorrow." said Bloom.
