"In our lives, we all face great challenges," a man's voice said in her mind. "It is through these tests, that our true selves are revealed. Who are our real friends? Who should we trust? Who believes in us? This is the story of a strong-willed fairy, who set out to answer these most difficult of questions. And encounter the biggest adventure of her life. And the greatest evil that has ever been known."
"What the-" Annabelle asked in her dream.
There was then shown a stormy night and there was a castle in view.
"What the heck?!" Annabelle asked. "How did I get here?"
"Do you not know a dream when you're in one?" Cherry deadpanned as she floated on a nearby cloud like Rainbow Dash would.
"Cherry, why are you in my dream?" Annabelle asked.
"I monitor most dreams," Cherry replied. "I'm a bender."
"I thought there were only four elements," Annabelle shrugged. "Fire, Water, Earth, and Air."
"You know your history, good job," Cherry smirked slightly. "I'm actually rather rare and I'm close with Princess Luna when it comes to dreams."
"So, mind telling me why am I dreaming about this place?" Annabelle asked.
"It's where your adventure will begin with the Winx Club," Cherry informed. "You will not only meet Bloom, but also Stella, Flora, Musa, Techna, and Aisha."
"Ooh." Annabelle smiled.
"I'm not sure which fairy you are of though," Cherry shrugged. "I guess it depends on your mother."
"Fairy of?" Annabelle wondered.
"Bloom is the Fairy of the Dragon Flame." Cherry replied.
"Hmm..." Annabelle hummed to herself in thought.
"You'll find out..." Cherry said mysteriously. "But your trait is handed down from your mother."
"Wait, maybe I can find out by hair color." Annabelle smiled.
"I never thought about it like that, but you could give it a try," Cherry shrugged. "My mom is more into genealogy than I am."
Cherry soon checked the color of Annabelle's hair. "Let's see... About dark brown, but not as dark as mine..." she then observed before she then checked the color of the girl's eyes. "You also have sapphire eyes."
"My eyes are blue." Annabelle replied.
"Yeah, that's blue..." Cherry said like it was obvious.
"Anything else?" Annabelle asked.
"Bloom's eyes are blue." Cherry said.
"Does she have brown hair too?" Annabelle asked.
"Actually red hair, but her eyes match yours very strongly." Cherry replied.
"Cool!" Annabelle smiled. "Hmm... I wonder if my magic is similar to hers."
"You can only try to find out," Cherry told her. "Her powers are mostly fire based, so be careful what you do, or it'll be like Zuko."
"Who?" Annabelle asked.
"Ugh, I can't wait until you're a teenager and you can find out this stuff on your own," Cherry sighed. "Zuko is a fire-bender from centuries ago in the world of Avatar when the four nations were well known before the others were discovered."
"Did you and the others go back in time?" Annabelle asked.
"Yes, but that's a story for another time, this one's about you." Cherry replied.
"Cool." Annabelle smiled.
"I hope you're ready for Alfea when your time comes." Cherry said.
"Well... I don't know..." Annabelle sighed. "Going to a new school is always tough for me."
"Well, don't worry; there are no bullies at the school." Cherry said.
"Really?" Annabelle asked. "That sounds like a miracle school."
"I'm sure you'll love it, but don't worry, you'll still have Amber and Darla." Cherry told her.
"Yay!" Annabelle cheered.
"Yes, yes, hooray, whoo-hoo..." Cherry dully clapped with her cheering. "Try not to lose your head."
"So, where are we anyway?" Annabelle asked as she didn't know where they were in her dream.
"This is Hagen's Castle." Cherry replied.
"Who?" Annabelle asked.
"You have a lot to learn." Cherry said.
"I suppose I do..." Annabelle replied. "You seem to know a lot about these sort of things."
"I've been on many adventures myself, more than I can even count." Cherry nodded.
"I see some hooded figures coming this way." Annabelle said as she saw some hooded figures.
"Those are either minions, or that is the Winx Club in raincoats." Cherry replied as she was actually unsure herself, but hoped for Annabelle's sake that it would be the latter.
The hooded figures seemed to stop in front of the castle. Annabelle stepped back nervously and looked for Cherry, only to see she had vanished somehow.
"This is Hagen's Castle," The leader told the others. "Everyone, keep an eye out. We don't know what's waiting for us in there. "
Annabelle gulped, but then decided to follow them. She now seemed to have her own raincoat somehow which just made her confused, but this was a dream after all. A mechanical, bird-like, creature spots the Winx Club and flies on top of the Castle to inform Hagen.
"Was that a mechanical bird?" Annabelle asked, confused.
"Hey, Bloom, who's that?" one girl asked the redheaded girl.
Annabelle soon looked around until she saw that they were looking at her. "Oh!" she then yelped in slight surprise.
The Winx Club examined Annabelle, wondering who she was or where she came from.
"Am I really here or am I still dreaming?" Annabelle asked herself.
"You're dreaming..." Cherry's voice told her. 'If you want to know more, you better wake up right now, the sun's coming up."
"Alright." Annabelle said.
Annabelle soon opened her eyes to see it was all just a dream, and where the sun soon rose. The others woke up to the smell of chocolate chip pancakes.
"Ooh, pancakes!" Darla beamed and ran out of her sleeping bag to get some.
"Wait for us!" Amber smiled.
Annabelle giggled to Darla as she got out of bed and then walked off.
Meanwhile in the Supernatural Realm...
Drell was sitting at a table with Penelope while Skippy was making them breakfast.
"Dad, why do I feel a bit chilly?" Penelope asked.
"Skippy, did you touch the thermostat?!" Drell glared.
Skippy quickly shook his head nervously.
"You don't feel warm..." Drell said as he came to the thermostat and saw that it was normal room temperature, he then checked Penelope's forehead.
"T-Then why am I feeling cold?" Penelope asked.
"Hmm... Something must be wrong..." Drell hummed before he took out a thermometer and put it in Penelope's mouth. "I hope you don't have Witchitis."
Drell's crystal ball soon started to flash in a warning color.
"Oh, excuse me, sweetie, you wait here," Drell told his daughter before going to check his crystal ball to see what was going on. "What is happening?!"
His crystal ball soon showed a dark place where the three evil ancient witches were.
"Oh, no..." The warlock frowned.
Skippy came by his side and gasped fearfully before cupping his mouth.
"At least it can't get any worse." Drell smiled nervously.
Skippy looked just as nervous, but pouted as Penelope shivered. Drell soon checked the thermometer to see if maybe Penelope was just sick and it had nothing to do with The Trix. To his misfortune, it did in fact have something to do with the ancient evil witches. Penelope just shivered as she didn't look so good.
"I better inform the others." Drell said.
Skippy looked over.
"Skippy, watch Penelope." Drell commanded as he soon left the Netherworld.
Skippy nodded in agreement. Drell saluted Skippy back and then went to leave the Supernatural Realm as he knew exactly who to go to and knew just what to do.
Annabelle kept dreaming about the Winx Club in the meantime until it would be time to wake up, and where she didn't ever want it to end. Unfortunately, of course, it had to as it was time to wake up for breakfast. However, the adventure would not stop there for her and the Winx Club. After everyone woke up, they soon ate their breakfast.
"What an amazing dream." Annabelle said to herself as she joined her friends for breakfast.
"Winx Club, huh?" Darla asked which made Annabelle nod. "Yeah... Heh... I've had dreams about Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts one time or another."
"Yeah!" Patch added as he joined in.
Darla smiled and pet the Dalmatian as they ate their breakfast.
"After breakfast, you know where we're going?" Cherry asked Annabelle.
Annabelle then swallowed her pancake. "Um... To that magical world where Bloom and the others are?"
"Bingo!" Mo smiled.
Annabelle smiled back as she felt a little excited. "They were in my dream last night."
"Yes, they were." Cherry nodded since she saw it for herself last night.
"What were they doing?" Atticus asked.
"They were in front of a place called Hagen's Castle." Annabelle replied.
"Never heard of the castle." Mo said.
"I have," Drell replied as he appeared, startling the kids, but Cherry, Atticus, Mo, and Patch just stared at him. "No screams? Not an even an 'eep'?"
Cherry yawned just to show how often he did that and it wasn't scary anymore.
"Oh, brother." Drell groaned.
"So, are you here to take us to take Annabelle to meet the Winx Club?" Atticus assumed.
"Yes, and it's just a matter of time, especially from three evil witches." Drell shuddered from the memories.
"Okay." Atticus said.
"Come right this way, Miss Greening," Drell told Annabelle with a smile. "I can't wait for you to meet Faragonda and the Winx Club."
Annabelle smiled back in excitement as this was a great moment for her as they were going to have a magical adventure this time around.
"Now, you probably already know, but there is Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna, Aisha, and Bloom." Drell reminded them.
"I saw them in my dream, fighting off knights." Annabelle smiled.
"So you know them in your dream..." Drell replied. "Do you know which is which, like what they are the fairies of?"
"I sure do." Annabelle said.
"Oh, really?" Drell smirked. "Which fairy is the fairy of what?"
Annabelle soon began to tell Drell about each member of the Winx Club and what fairy each one was. Drell listened to see if she memorized and luckily enough, she did.
"Stella: Fairy of the Shining Sun," Annabelle said. "Flora: Fairy of Nature. Musa: Fairy of Music. Tecna: Fairy of Technology. Aisha: Fairy of Waves. Bloom: Fairy of the Dragon Flame."
"Whoa." Drell said.
Annabelle smiled innocently.
"Good job!" Drell smiled back. "Then again, I did think Darla would have a hard time memorizing the Sailor Scouts... I knew she'd get along well with Mina though, they're like sisters."
"But so are Serena and Rini." Darla said.
"I'm just glad you found them," Drell replied. "The Silver Crystal's been in you since birth."
Darla smiled up at Drell. Drell then took them to where they needed to go once Annabelle's destiny had been set to meet the Winx Club, and after breakfast, they left.
