Chapter 2: Test subject no. 1
"I'm not a guinea pig, Riven!" Brandon pulled away and started to run towards his room.
1st potion done, the guys and I were up all night just to get this finished. We snuck out Red Fountain and looked around magix for each ingredient, we even had to visit Solaria for the star fruit. Plus, we had a hard time getting those 2 drops of my tear. I never cry.
"Just test it out and we'll see if it works!" I grabbed the small bottle with the baby blue liquid and cornered Brandon by the couch.
"And if it does? I seriously don't want to fall in love with you!" he snarled with both hands to the wall and his head looking around for an exit.
"I don't want that too but we need to test this out." I smirked and aimed at my prey.
Brandon crouched down as I pulled on the trigger of the bottle, he rolled forward and ran towards Helia. He was talking to Flora about meeting with us today, if this potion works then I can use it on Musa right away.
"Hang on.." Helia covered the speaker of his phone and glared at us. "Can't you see that I'm talking to someone right now?"
I stumbled on a pile of clothes and accidentally pulled trigger that was supposed to be aimed at Brandon, but unfortunately, Helia was in the way.
"Helia?" Flora's voice echoed out as Helia fell on the ground, there was a loud thud so Flora must've heard it.
Sky and Timmy ran to Helia's unconscious body while Nabu guarded the door before Brandon could get away, while I, trying to think of a lie, stood there looking at his phone.
"Helia? Is everything okay?" Flora sounded more worried.
I picked up the phone and answered. "Hey, Flora, it's Riven"
"Riven? Where's Helia? Are you guys okay?" she squeaked out as she heard my voice.
"Everything's just great here, Brandon had to drag Helia out for a while 'cause Head Master Saladin wanted to have a quick talk with him" I laughed it out so it'd wouldn't seem too serious.
"Oh" she exhaled with relief. "Okay, thanks, tell him to call me back as soon as he can."
"Sure thing" I sighed and turned to the guys. "Tell the girls that the meeting for today won't push through, we've got some little errands that needs to be done first."
"Okay then, just tell us when you guys want to meet up." I replied with a grunt and with that, she hang up.
Sky and Timmy carried Helia to the couch while Nabu forcefully pulled Brandon to the others with him, it wasn't like I was going to spray him or anything. I just needed a test monkey and faith gave me Helia, he is such a nice friend.
"Dude" I lightly slapped Helia's forehead.
"That could've been me" Brandon pointed at Helia and mumble some other junk to the side.
"You'll have another chance, don't worry" Sky patted Brandon's back and earned a couple of glares from his own squire.
"Yeah, if the potion doesn't work then we'll need to make a new one.." I grinned and turned to Brandon. "That means we'll get to use you again"
"Shut up" Brandon rolled his eyes scooted as far away from me as possible.
Helia started to groan, his body turned to the side while the rest of us backed away to give him some air. His eyes slowly opened while I, or the all of us, eagerly waited for the results of the potion.
"Dude, you okay?" Sky grabbed Helia by the arm as he tried to get up.
He didn't say anything, Helia just rubbed his eye and continued his groaning. His legs were wobbly, his whole body looked like they would collapse any minute, and you clearly see his trembling hands.
"Helia?" Brandon took a step forward and tried to get a look at the pale man.
Sky withdrew his hand and stumbled on the couch just behind him, he fell on the other side with his butt sticking out and his head flat on the ground.
"What the hell, man?!" Sky got up and started to rub his arm, it had some sort of liquid on it.
Helia raised his head and smiled at each of us, he wiped his lip and had his eyes directly at me. I wasn't really sure if I should be scared or angry, who knows, he might be pulling a joke.
"You okay?" I glanced away trying to escape his creepy gaze.
Helia nodded and tucked the hair that was on his face behind his ear, the guys and I backed away as Helia started to take baby steps towards us. Each of us watched his every move, there wasn't definitely something off about him.
His eyes were sparkling, the way his body move gave out this feminine aura, and his walk really looked like a freaking chick.
"I think you turned Helia gay" Brandon whispered to me and gulped.
"I'm fully aware of that" I didn't take me eyes off Helia, he might suddenly pounce and tackle me to the ground.
Timmy pinned himself to the wall and started to move away from us, Sky was still near the couch and he had his battle stance on, Brandon, Nabu, and I were cornered near the window.
"What's the matter?" Helia purred with his man voice but somehow made it squeaky. "It's like you guys don't know me"
Brandon smiled and shook his head, he took one step to the left but his attention was still on Helia."No, why would you even say that?"
"Y-yeah, we know you" Nabu chuckled while his sweat ran down his cheek. "You're our good old pal, Helia."
"I see" he smiled and tardily walked over to Brandon.
Brandon halted on his path and gave out a huge smile towards Helia, his face went pale while his hands were gripping on each other.
"Brandon.." Helia caressed the shivering man's cheek, Brandon's whole body let out a huge sigh and his eyes fluttered. "You look so scared."
Brandon turned to me and mouthed 'help me'
I snickered and noticed Helia was now using one of those nail things, the long brown one the girls use to fix their nails. I think it's called a nail file?
Just behind Helia was Timmy and Sky, they both had two huge books up in the air and was aiming on Helia.
"Go" Nabu whispered and gave out a thumbs up.
Helia turned around and spotted his two friends in their positions, they both successfully striked Helia on the old noggin and he fell asleep, again.
MUSA POV
"2 projects, 3 reporting, and 1 one final exam to finish" Tecna threw out a depressing sigh and turned her swivel chair back to her monitor.
"And that's what you get for taking an extra class, I've only got 1 of everything" I was adding the finishing touches to my project. "Make that 1 reporting and 1 exam, voilĂ !"
Everyone in Alfea was either studying for an exam, practicing their speech for a report, or making a project for extra credit. We, the Winx, weren't an exception. Stella had major exam problems, Bloom and Flora were having one of their 'extinguish stage fright' sessions, while Tecna and I were trying to get everything done in one day. Layla was lucky enough to finish hers before us.
"Do you think Professor Wizgiz will accept this?" I presented my new shape shifting box.
"Depends, what's it suppose to be?" Tecna took the box and examined every angle of it.
"I call it 'Musa's shape shifting box'" I grinned and did this sort of ta-da hand gesture.
"The device looks nice but you should really consider renaming it" Tecna handed me the box and giggled.
"I like the name, besides, the quality of the project is what matters" I pointed out what the real meaning of project is. "You can place an item inside and turn it in to anything you want!"
"Yes, interesting.." Tecna went back to her monitor "Since you're done with that could you give Timmy a call?" she threw me her phone and with my fast reflexes, plus luck, I caught it. "Tell him to set up the new combustion engine for new ships that are coming in, Cordatorta had already approved my designs."
"You two are so romantic" sarcasm was the best way to get on Tecna's nerves. "I never knew combustion engines were the new thing for couples."
Tenca turned with a glare "Just do it!"
I laughed and ran out the room leaving an unfocused Tecna back to her homeworks, I know, I'm such a great friend to her.
The girls were on their own little world in our dorm. Bloom and Flora were inside their rooms practicing their speech and reports, you could seriously tell that they weren't ready. Stella was stomping around yelling out her notes in 3 different classes, there were papers flying everywhere. While Layla was nowhere to be found, probably in the dance room enjoying herself.
After ringing Timmy for the second time, and I was just outside the dorm walking back and forth, I was getting a bit impatient. How busy can this guy be?
"Hello? Tecna?" Timmy sounded like he was out of breath.
Finally! I coughed and answered. "No, sorry, it's Musa."
"M-musa?" he stuttered my name like I was the ghost of christmas past.
"Yes, your girlfriend's roommate" I laughed and rolled my eyes.
"Oh.. Uhmm.. What's up? Where's Tec?" he sounded a bit distant and there were some noise in the background.
"In the room, finishing up all her work." I leaned on the wall and stuffed my free hand in my pocket. "I just called to tell you about that combustion engine thingy."
"Ah! Yes! Thanks!" Timmy gave out a loud sigh of relief.
"No problem.." I smiled and got a bit jealous of Tecna and Timmy's relationship, actually, I'm jealous that everyone has someone to be with. "How are the others?"
Timmy gulped and shushed at the background, I could here breathing surrounding him. "Everyone's fine. Helia and Brandon are... Bonding. Sky and Nabu are cleaning up a bit, I'll be headed to that errand Tecna finished, and Riven-"
"I don't really care what Riven's doing" I laughed and scratched my cheek.
"Ah, yes, considering you two are sworn enemies and you just hate every cell of his body" he laughed as well and I heard some grunting in the background.
"I wouldn't say hate.." I blushed.
RIVEN POV
"Musa?" Timmy called out. "Musa? You there?"
Nothing, the line was cut and we were left with a high pitch long beep. So much for getting an answer, I only got what was coming for me.
"I don't really care what Riven's doing" I repeated with a higher tone.
"Someone's hurt" Helia laughed, he was seated on the couch with ice on his head.
"Shut up" I glared at him and growled. "Unless you want people, specifically Flora, to know that you were all on Brandon a while ago."
"You wouldn't!" he glared back and stood up making the ice pack fall.
"Try me" I grinned and crossed my arms.
Helia grunted and turned his back on me, he proceeded to our room and probably channel out his frustrations over art. That just sounds so wrong, 'our' room.
"Now do you see why you need that love potion for Musa?" Brandon sat on the couch while wiping sweat from his head.
"Yeah" I rolled my eyes and groaned over to an arm chair.
Ta-da! :D I hope you guys like it!
