So this probably won't be updated regularly but it's an idea I couldn't get out of my head. It doesn't really have the main characters of the show but give it a shot! You may end up enjoying it!
"Name?" the stern woman asked, beady eyes peering over a clipboard.
"Thana Goodput."
Goodput- the number of useful information bits delivered by the network to a certain destination per unit of time. Everyone on Zenith seemed to be named after something technology related and Thana's family was no exception, no matter how much of an outlier she made them. Thana Goodput was no normal girl, and that wasn't because she was from a magic-oriented planet or because wings could sprout from her back (well, in theory; she hadn't been able to transform as of yet). It was because she was a fairy with a witch's gifts.
At home, people avoided her like the plague, even her own father. But still, she was accepted into Alfea College for Fairies. She suspected that her father had probably had to bribe the headmistress into taking her away.
Alfea was too good for the Fairy of Insanity and she knew it. People were too afraid to look her in the eye much less befriend her. Thana held in a sigh as she walked up to where the other fairies were gathered, her black suitcase in hand. An ancient woman stood at the center of the girls.
"Hello, girls. I am Headmistress Faragonda," the woman said. The skin around her eyes wrinkled as she smiled warmly at them. "For your years of study here at Alfea, you will be living in an apartment with five other ladies; these girls will be your team. You will eat together, train together, and quite obviously live together for your entire career as a student here. This has become a tradition ever since the Winx, a group of fairies you undoubtedly know of, has worked together and increased their skills beyond that of their peers..." Thana let her focus wander as Faragonda continued to recount the tale of the Winx Club and how they were an example for all to follow and let her gaze shift over to the others. There were all sorts of different looking girls here; there were girls from all different places with different colored skin and hair. She easily pinpointed a Solaria girl- her aura was so bright that Thana was practically squinting while looking at her. The girl with the blue braid, she wasn't sure where she came from. Thana wondered how many of them had managed to unlock their Charmix powers so far.
She turned back towards the headmistress just as she way saying that classes started tomorrow and today would be used to settle in. After a final warning about the Cloudtower witches, Thana set off down the hallway in search of her new room.
Logically speaking, Apartment 16 was probably just like all of the others with three two-person bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a common room, but Thana had never been happier. It was homely and warm and Thana just knew it was bound to be better than her home on Zenith. She stood in the doorway, letting the joyous feeling wash over her when she felt something behind her.
"Excuse me, sorry, hi!" a girl edged her way around Thana, her arms piled high with boxes. All Thana could see of the girl were her blonde pigtails, and tanned arms, hugging the boxes to her chest.
"Um, do you need some help?" she asked.
"No, no! I've totally got it!" the girl said as a suitcase came zooming in behind her, nearly knocking Thana over. "Whoops! Could you maybe open my room's door for me? It's the one with the clouds on it."
"Yeah, of course," Thana said. She open the door and the girl rushed in, dropping the boxes on her bed.
She heaved a sigh. "Man, I can't wait to get better at magic. Specifically levitation spells so I don't have to carry all of those again. I'm Sybella!" she smiled.
"Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Thana." She held out her hand to shake, but Sybella giggled and threw her arms around her instead.
"No formalities, Thana! You and I are going to be besties for the next four years at least," she said and pulled back. Sybella flicked her blonde hair over one shoulder. She was practically bouncing- actually, vibrating might have been a better description. "I'm just so excited to be here!"
"Yeah I can see that," Thana smiled.
"Well aren't you?" Sybella asked. "I mean, this is only the best magic school in the entire dimension!"
Thana nodded and scratched her neck. "I am excited. I guess I'm just not great at expressing it? Sorry."
"Then give me a smile!"
Thana raised an eyebrow at the peppy girl. Sybella's green eyes were wide and staring at Thana expectantly. She clearly had a lot of energy, something that could come in handy in potential battles. Thana made a mental note of it.
"One of you is in the wrong room," came a voice from behind her. "The sheet says I'm in Apartment 16, Room A."
"Yeah, sorry. I was just helping Sybella," Thana said and turned. There stood a brunette girl with gold eyes and a tiara sparkling on her head. "Hi, I'm Thana."
"Candace," the girl replied. "Princess of Sapore."
A princess? On her team? She could already see the pending snootiness. If the expression on Candace's face and the perfect manicure was anything to go by, she had a feeling that this girl would be either obnoxious or rude. Maybe both. Thana was tempted to ask if she wanted her to kiss her hand but kept her mouth shut.
"Oh, cool!" Sybella piped up. "I'm from Callisto."
While Sybella began to ramble on about the flowers that bloomed in the springtime, Thana slipped out of the room and made her way to Room C. The door's design was... confusing to say the least. There was a crescent moon on each door and they were each surrounded by patternless squiggles. She guessed that the moons stood for her roommate's power.
Her room was empty. The other girl wasn't there yet. Thana sighed in relief; she could at least have moment of peace to let everything happening sink in. She sat down on her bed, fingering the soft quilt and used what little magic she could muster to get the clothes to put themselves away. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. Sybella seemed nice, and maybe Candace wouldn't be as annoying as Thana was expecting. She smiled and leaned against the wall.
Everything will be good and relaxing and better, she thought.
And then a scream pierced the air, shattering her zen.
