Chapter 2: The Girls of Gardenia

"Wow, this place really hasn't changed much from last time, has it?" Stella said out loud as she and the other girls walked through the main street of Gardenia, the pixies trailing further behind. Everyone had set off to Gardenia around 10:30. The party didn't start until nightfall, so the girls were walking up and down the street, looking at all the decorations and killing time until the party started.

"Yeah," Bloom replied, fingering a paper ghost that was hung on a tree, "Earth isn't as advanced as Magix. People here only get so far with things over a certain time."

"Well I like it here," Jolly said. She and Livi had agreed to come along for the night.

"Yeah, well it gets boring after a while, trust me." Bloom said.

"Maybe, but I love your music here," Layla said.

"And your shopping," Stella said, looking at a pair of jeans with a sparkling star design on the flair that were in a store window.

"If those don't scream Stella, I don't know what piece of clothing does," Musa whispered to Layla. She nodded in agreement.

"You can go grab them if you want to, Stella." Flora said to her.

"Not like there's anything better to do here." Tecna added.

"You girls want to come with me?" Stella asked.

"Thanks, but no thanks, Stell," Musa said, "Layla and I are going to go look around the music store."

"I'll go with you, Stella," Bloom smiled.

"Me, too." Flora said.

"I'll go with Musa and Layla," Tecna said.

"What are you guys going to do?" Bloom asked, turning to the pixies.

"Don't you worry about us," Chatta said, "We'll find a way to keep ourselves occupied."

"Ok, but just promise me you guys won't get into any trouble." Flora said.

"Don't worry, we'll be careful." Amore promised.

"Ok."

"Wow, what a great store." Flora said, spinning in front of a mirror wearing an ivy green crop top, "I might have to buy this."

"I know, I've always loved this store ever since I was little," Bloom added as she came up from behind Flora to look in the mirror, wearing a light blue spaghetti strap top that had a dark blue heart design on it.

"Wow, you guys look good," Stella said as she walked up to Flora and Bloom, wearing the jeans she had seen in the store window, "You guys going to buy those?"

"The real question is do you have enough money." A voice said from behind them. The three girls spun around to face Mitzi, who was dressed in an orange tube top and back jeans. Her jet black hair was straight, and the girls were able to smell the same horrible perfume she had had on last time they were there. "I mean going to reform school and all, do you even have money?"

Bloom rolled her eyes. "Hey Mitzi. And for the last time, we don't go to reform school."

"Ok, if you say so."

Bloom's eyes narrowed at her. But before she could say anything, Flora cut in. "We were so happy that you invited us to you're your party again."

"Well, considering what a hit you were last time, the party wouldn't be the same without you." Mitzi said, giving Flora a sly smile.

"Oh yeah," Stella said, "Watching you try to scare people can be very entertaining."

Mitzi glared at her. "Well, I just hope you can find some costumes. After your surprisingly decent ones last year, I've gone all out. I and I can assure you that you'll have to do a lot to try and beat me." Without anther word, she spun on her heels and walked away leaving the Winx girls.

"Well," Stella broke the silence, "Nice to see that she hasn't changed."

"Wow, this band is 'rockin!" Musa said, as she picked up a CD case with a shimmering blue disc inside.

"Yeah, you should get that, Musa," Layla said as she looked at the CD Musa had.

"I agree, their music has been very popular lately," Tecna was looking over the different rows of CD's in the store.

"You really think so?"

"Sure," Layla said, "I've seen the music video for it, and I love the choreography."

"Yeah and there's this one song that I really want to remix…"

"Hang on a second." Tecna said, as she peered around to the next aisle of CD's.

"And give it kind of this hip-hop beat…"

"Musa!"

Musa stopped talking and turned to her pink-haired friend. "What is it, Tec?"

"Come look at this." Musa and Layla exchanged a glance before walking over to Tecna, who had her eyes fixed on three girls in the next aisle of CD's. One had white-blonde hair and a short blue dress. The second had long brown hair, dressed in a violet tank top and dark jeans. And the other girl had curly black hair, and had on a red skirt and a one-sleeved black top.

"Did you hear she invited them again?" the brunette asked, sounding disgusted.

"Yeah, but why?" asked the girl with black hair, "I mean, aren't they from reform school or something? Why would Mitzi invite them?"

Layla glared at them. "I have a feeling they're talking about us."

"Really?" Musa asked sarcastically.

"I even heard they have a stupid little club name," the black haired girl continued, "like the wings or something. How pathetic. How can they even be invited?"

"Don't you remember what Mitzi said?" the blonde asked, a little irritated, "Last year, they tried to pull a prank on them, but it backfired. But this time, there's no way anything can go wrong."

"I can't wait for tonight." The brunette said.

"I know, come on, we promised we'd get some snacks for the party." Musa, Tecna, and Layla turned to the CD, display, pretending to look at them as the three girls walked past them, giggling.

"Come on," Tecna said, once they were out of hearing range, let's follow them and see what Mitzi has in store for us this time."

Nodding, the three girls walked out of the store onto the street, but the three girls were nowhere in sight.

"What happened to them?" Musa asked.

"Who knows, we'd better go warn the others, though." Layla suggested. The girls turned and began to walk up the street. Just as they turned though, the girl with black hair stuck her head out from behind an alley not to far away. She waited until they turned the corner before turning around to face the other two girls.

"They fell for it!"

"Figures, they're so stupid. You think they would of figured it out." The brunette said, before turning to the blonde. "Icy, will you please change us back?"

"With pleasure." A bright light filled the alley. When it dimmed out, Icy, Darcy, and Stormy were in place of the three girls.

"So is this Mitzi really pulling a prank on them again?" Darcy asked.

"Who knows? Who cares? Just as long as we get what we need."

"What is it were after anyway?" Stormy asked.

"Well," Icy began, "Back when Earth had magic, there actually were a few witches who lived that old house. And up in the attic are enough spell books to have Magix in our hands in no time! All we have to do is sneak into that party tonight. And those stupid fairies will be too busy worrying about what Mitzi has 'planned' for them, they wont even notice."

"Brilliant!" Darcy said.

"This'll be fun." Stormy added.

"Won't it? Now all we have to do is wait for nightfall and we'll be set for life, ladies."

Well, it seems the Winx have a very interesting night ahead. Also, backtrack a little bit too when Mitzi said that she's gone all out on her Halloween costume. I'm leaving her costume choice up to a very important person…my readers! All you have to do is tell me what kind of Halloween costume you want Mitzi to be in. You can either tell me when you're reviewing (hint, hint) or send me a message. Winner will receive credit in the chapter 3. I hope to have a lot of great ideas!
