Greetings fellow readers and writers! This is my second attempt at writing fanfiction. This one goes out to all you Winx Club fans. This story is a prequil to my first story; Harry Potter: Quest for the Horcruxes. The story focuses on Bloom, the other Winx girls, the Specialists, three OC Witches, and what they were doing before Bloom went to Harry's earth to help fight Voldemort. This story is a cross between Winx Club, Invader Zim, and the new Battlestar Galatica. Please don't sue me, I'm only a humble writer trying to make a good story. And now, on with the show!

Pre-Story Argument

Imagine if you will, that in the universe of the new Battlestar Galatica, the Twelve Colonies won the war against the Cylons. That Gaius Baltar, instead of accidentally betraying humanity, was one of its saviors.

Imagine if you will, that in the universe of Invader Zim, instead of being unofficially exiled to Earth, The Tallest appease Zim by giving him command of his own starship, with the pretense that Zim'll screw up so bad, he'll get himself killed. Instead, Zim excels at commanding a starship. His victories in battle earn him so much respect, that when a new Tallest comes to power, Zim is given command over an entire battle fleet.

Oh yes, Gir is still crazy. (he's not crazy, he's advanced).

Now, imagine if you will, what would happen if both the Irken Empire and the Twelve Colonies were at war. What would happen if Bloom and her friends were to suddenly run into this war? To find out please read:

Twenty-nine Hours

Chapter 1: The Mission

"Yes!" exclaimed Stella, "No more tests! No more homework! No More Greszelda!" Final exams had finished at Alfea. With only a few days left in the school year, our six favorite fairies were looking forward to a long, well earned vacation. "Brandon and I are going to spend the summer on Solaria." Said Stella. "Me and Riven have tickets to 'Rock-Stock,' the hottest music festival of the year." Said Musa. "I was thinking to introducing Helia to my parents." Said Flora. "I think I'm going to have a talk with my parents," said Layla, "The time has come for them to understand that I need to start making my own decisions."

"So what are your plans for the summer Bloom?" asked Flora. "Well," said Bloom, "Sky said he'd come back with me to meet my parents. From there, we'll see where it goes." "Oh, I hope you're not planning anything too risky, are you?" asked Stella. "No!" exclaimed Bloom, "nothing like that!" At this, everyone laughed. Even Bloom laughed.

"What about you Techna?" asked Musa. But Techna wasn't there. "Say where is Techan?" asked Layla. "I don't know," said Bloom, "But there's Timmy. Maybe he'll know." The girls walked over to Timmy, Techna's boyfriend and fellow super-smart person. "Yo, Timmy!" said Musa, "Where's Tachna?" "Oh, she's in Ms. Faragonda's office asking permission for us to go on a special scientific mission." Said Timmy. "What kind of scientific mission?" asked Flora. But before Timmy could answer, Techna came running up towards them.

"Well?" asked Timmy as Tachna came to a halt beside him. "She said yes!" "Ms. Faragonda did?" asked Timmy. "She did!" exclaimed Techna. "Excelsior!" exclaimed the two brains.

"Just what are you two celebrating?" asked Stella. "Ms. Faragonda just gave us permission to go into deep space for a once in a lifetime scientific event!" said Techna, "All of us."

The next morning, at Magicx Space Port…

"So what are we doing in space that's got you so excited?" asked Sky. The girls had met up with Sky, Riven, Brandon and Helia for the mission. They were heading towards one of Red Fountain's long-range star vessels. "I'll tell you as soon as we're all here." "We are all here." Said Stella. "Who else are you waiting for?"

"We're waiting for them." Said Timmy who was pointing at three women walking towards the group. "Oh great!" exclaimed Musa, "Witches!" True enough, the three approaching them were students from Cloud Tower. One had black hair with blue streaks. She wore a red sleeveless top and blue jeans. The second had short brown hair with blue streaks. She has a green tank top and an orange miniskirt. Bloom noticed that she was talking in her cell phone. The third witch had long brown hair with blue streaks. She wore a green t-shirt and tan slacks. She also wore glasses.

"The one with the glasses is the one who agreed with us for this mission." Said Techna. "She's Elise Caplin, and she's really a good person." Said Timmy. As the three witches got closer, Bloom saw that Elise was walking while reading a book. She stopped reading once the three got to where the others were standing. "So we're all ready for this exploration into the unknown then." Said Elise. "Well it's your project," said Techna, "You did discover the phenomenon."

"Yes," said Elise, "Yes I did." The witch with the black hair stepped forward and abruptly shook Bloom's hand. "Carmen Dawson," she said while smiling, "Cloud Tower student body president." "Pleased to meet you," said Bloom, not sure if she was really pleased. "I know you're Bloom of Sparks." Said Carmen, "In fact, I owe you a lot. If you hadn't gotten rid of Icy last year, I wouldn't have had a chance of winning the student election." "Well, I'm glad I could have helped." Said Bloom.

"The one who's burning up her minutes is Morgan Rogers." Said Elise, pointing out the witch with short brown hair. "Do you mind?" she said, "I'm on long-distance." Morgan returned to her cell phone. "Yes, Joe's Bowling Alley? Do you have eight-pound balls? You do? Well then how can you walk!" She laughed heartily as she hung up her cell phone. "Classic! Classic!" she exclaimed. She then turned towards Bloom. "Sorry about that," she said as she held out her hand, "I'm Morgan." Bloom shook her hand, but felt a painful sensation in her hand. She jerked it back as Morgan laughed again. She held up her hand and a small device appeared in her palm. "Invisible joy-buzzer. Gets them every time!"

"I guess you got me!" said Bloom, "very funny." "Yeah, funny," said Riven grimly, "In a sick sort of way." "Oh don't be such a killjoy," said Morgan, "It was just a harmless prank." "That was harmless," said Brandon to Stella, "But you should have seen some of the stuff she did to us at Red Fountain." "You are looking at the only witch to ever prank the entire student body and staff of Cloud Tower within six months." Said Carmen. "She even managed to get Icy, Darcy and Stormy once."

"You pranked Icy, Darcy and Stormy?" asked an amazed Musa. "I sure did," said Morgan, "But afterwards they turned me into a newt." "A newt?" asked Flora. There was a moment's pause before Morgan answered: "I got better." "We're wasting time here people!" said Techna, "Science awaits for no one!"

They boarded the ship, and when Stella sat down in her chair, there was a loud raspberry sound. "Stella!" exclaimed Flora in annoyance. "I didn't do anything!" exclaimed Stella as she held up something that Bloom couldn't see. Just then, Morgan burst into laughter again. "Invisible whoopee cushion," said Musa, "Clever, very clever." "Oh yes," said an annoyed Stella, "Very funny. Just don't do it again." "Relax," said Morgan, "Once I prank someone, said person is safe. At least for A year." "Listen, Morgan," said Elise, "We're about to do something potentially dangerous. So do me a favor, lay off the pranks until we get home. Is that alright?" "Fine by me." Said Morgan.

"You still haven't told us what we're doing." Said Riven. "We are going to experience a dual wormhole event." Said Timmy. "What's that?" asked Brandon. "A dual wormhole event," said Techna, "Is when one wormhole opens up to an area of space and closes. A short amount of time later, a second wormhole with both ends opening at the same points in space appears."

"The last time a dual wormhole event occurred in this part of space was over six thousand years ago." Said Elise. "This type of celestial phenomenon is rare, but mathematically predicable. If we miss this event, the next one won't happen for another six thousand years." "We've determined, within a small margin of error," said Timmy, "That the wormholes open in an area of unexplored space some 179,000 light-years away." "So why can't we just go their using normal space travel?" asked Helia. "Even at maximum hyper-drive," said Techna, "The journey will take approximately 2.85 years."

"So we're using the first wormhole to get there," said Bloom, "And the second wormhole to get home." "Exactly." Said Elise. "Once on the other side," said Timmy, "we'll have exactly 29 hours to explore and record before the second wormhole opens." "Sound like fun." Said Layla. Little did Layla or any of the others know of the wonders and horrors that await them on the other side of the universe.

Some time later…

The ship had arrived at an apparently ordinary area of empty space. "We're right where we're supposed to be." Said Timmy. "The wormhole should open any second." Just as he finished talking, the area of space in from of the ship began to glow bright blue. "This is it!" exclaimed Elise. The wormhole had opened, a bright blue tunnel in space. "Punch it Sky!" exclaimed Techna. Sky brought the ship to full power. "Things are going to get a little rough!" exclaimed Sky as piloted the ship into the tunnel. There was another flash of bright blue and the wormhole closed.

The enc of chapter 1. Is this cool or what? Next chapter, our explorers emerge from the wormhole to the other side of the universe, unaware that they're about to run into the newest fight of their lives. Please read and review. See you next time!
