APPLICATIONS STILL OPEN! CHECK MY PROFILE FOR DETAILS!


"So I've got sponsors lined up from all across the dimensions, I've got a few challenges in mind that I can plan out in further detail later, I have plenty of applicants though no decisions have been made on who should get to the semis…" Stella paced up and down in her room in the Solarian Royal Palace where the other Winx Club girls, their bonded pixies, Roxy and Nova sat scattered around the room in various chairs, cushions and sofas.

"What else do I need…?" Stella wondered, tapping a pen to her chin in thought.

"What about other judges? I mean, in America's Next Top Model, there are always three or four other judges…" Roxy pointed out.

"That's right! I knew I forgot something!" Stella exclaimed.

"But who could I get to judge besides me?" Stella asked.

"Ooh! Ooh! ME! ME!" Chatta flew over to the blonde fairy.

"And why should you be a judge for Magix's Next Top Model, Chatta?" Stella sat in a nearby chair, looking ready for an impromptu interview.

"Because I'm totally fashion forward and I can add a little spunk to your show! Plus look at this!" Chatta changed into various gorgeous-looking outfits and hairstyles.

"You're totally in, Chatta! You know what you're talking about!" Stella said.

"Yay!" Chatta cheered.

"Chatta, are you sure you want that? It is a big responsibility after all…" Flora reminded her bonded pixies.

"It is, but I can totally handle it!" Chatta said.

"Who else should I get on the judging panel? Not you, Nova. I'm going to need you for other things…" Stella wrote something on her notepad.

Nova put down her hand disappointedly.

"I'm going to need a photographer sort of person and a runway kind of coach too. Hm… Flora, can you ask Helia if he'd like to be a judge? He'd really fit the artsy photographer sort of role…" Stella asked suddenly.

"I can, but I'm not too sure he'd want to be roped into your crazy schemes!" Flora said.

"So. Chatta and I are in for sure, Helia is a maybe… I heard that Professor DuFour used to be a model before she got into teaching. Maybe I can offer her the job when I visit Alfea next week…" Stella made another note.

"So it's me, Chatta, Helia, Professor DuFour… But we need someone else to put some more… drama into the judging panel mix. Someone who can be somewhat irritable at times. Harsh. Overly dramatic. Somewhat overemotional. Snarky. Wait… I know just the person to offer the last judging position to!" Stella exclaimed.


"NO. Absolutely not!"

"Oh come on, Riven! It'll be fun! You'll get lots of free stuff, you'll be paid well, you get to be on TV and you get to be as snarky and harsh as you like!"

"As snarky and harsh as I like, huh?" Riven rubbed his chin as if he were thinking about it.

"Uh-huh…" Stella said, hoping against hope…

"My answer is still no." Riven said flatly.

Stella flounced off. If he wouldn't join of his own free will, she knew just who could help… persuade him…

One week later…

"Stella, I've thought it over and I will become a judge on Magix's Next Top Model." Riven ran up to her in Magix one day.

"Oh good. You'll love being a judge!" Stella exclaimed excitedly.

"I don't think I will. Musa… she can be very… persuasive when she wants to be…" Riven somehow managed to half smile, half grumble as he spoke.

"Great! You'll need this. It's full of all sorts of things you'll need for the show." Stella made a large, golden brown envelope appear in one hand and handed it to the currently disconcerted Riven.

"Bye! I have to deal with my wardrobe for the show now!" Stella waved as she walked off happily. Success was imminent.
