Tecna sat with Flora as Faragonda entered, a strange look on her face.
"Tecna... I think we need to have a talk with your parents, some things have come to light that make me wonder if you have been told the whole truth about who you are"
Tecna looked confused
"Why do you say that?" Tecna asked
"Because if Kali's memories are accurate that can only mean one thing... she is your sister"
"What, this isn't possible" she said
"I think we need to check this for ourselves, come dear, we will call your parents and get them to come explain this matter in person"
Tecna and Faragonda arrived at Faragonda's office and contacted Tecna's parents who agreed to come immediately to tell the whole story to both Tecna and Faragonda.
"I don't understand, you adopted me and then you didn't think it was necessary to tell me that I was adopted?" Tecna asked her 'mother' a hint of resentment in her tone
"We did not know how to tell you, and we did not want you to grieve for what you never had with your birth parents"
"What about my sister, the sister I just found out I had!"
"Sister, we were told that she died as well" Tecna's adoptive father replied
"She is in the school infirmary right now as alive as we are!" Tecna protested
Tecna's adoptive father looked stunned
"Had we known, we would have requested to adopt her as well, it is only logical to keep siblings together"
"Logical... how dare you say that now? You didn't even check to see if my sister was alive, did you?" Tecna accused then stood and stormed out of Faragonda's office
"Tecna" her adoptive mother called to her daughter's retreating form
"Let her be, dear, she needs to process this before she can understand why we did what we did"
Musa heard the dorm door slam even over her music.
"Whoa, somebody's gonna rip that door off it's hinges" she muttered and then went in to see Tecna sitting on the couch hugging a pillow looking quite ticked off.
"Tec, was that... did you slam the door?"
"Yes" Tecna replied shortly putting the pillow back on the couch "my parents lied to me, they aren't even my parent's they adopted me when I was seven months old"
"Tec, maybe they didn't know how to tell you, maybe they didn't want you to have to go through grieving for the parents you didn't know, I know that there are a lot of reasons for them to have not told you, but... I don't think I'm really the one that you need to be talkin to."
Tecna sighed and went into the room she shared with Musa, she had to think this over, in private and Musa had long realized that was what Tecna wanted. Another slammed door marked Tecna's exit.
"Where's Tecna, I found this killer dress that she would look so good in" Stella said
"Maybe later, Stel, she just got a load of stuff piled on her that she needs to sort through" Musa sighed
"What could be more important than giving our poor fashion challenged roommate a makeover."
"Stella, she just found out that she was adopted, and her birth parents are dead, can you have just a bit of sympathy"
"Oh, all right, the dress can wait" Stella sighed and went to her room
Musa reached for her phone and made a call
"Hello, Bloom, it's Musa, Tec just got some bad news, she's gonna need all her friends to help her through this... okay I'll see you in a bit... yeah, go ahead and call Flora... no, let her tell him on her own time, this needs to stay with us girls for now"
Bloom arrived at the dorm and Musa told her where Tecna was.
"Tecna, it's Bloom, can I come in"
"Yes" Tecna replied
Bloom walked in and noticed Tecna sitting on the edge of her bed hugging her pillow.
"Tecna, what happened?"
"I... just found out, Bloom... I was adopted, I never had any idea, there was no way anyone could have told that I was adopted."
"Tecna, finding out that you were adopted isn't the end of the world even though it may seem like it, believe me, once you get over the initial shock of it all, you'll find that it makes you unique". Bloom smiled slightly and sat by Tecna, "my mom told me something about this that I think you should hear"
"What is it?"
"She told me once when I was really down about the fact that I was adopted that it meant that I was chosen special, that she might not have given birth to me but that didn't mean she loved me any less"
"That is true" Tecna sighed
"Think about it, to your mom you're special, because she got to chose you. She saw you and knew she wanted to raise you as her daughter... there isn't a thing wrong with that."
"Well, I also found I have an older sister here at Alfea"
"That girl that was in the quad the other day?"
"Yes, according to Faragonda her name is Kali" Tecna said "I just wish I knew what Kali wanted"
"She probably just wants to get to know you, Tecna, I met Kali earlier, she said she was looking for you because she wanted to talk to you" Bloom sighed "she seems nice enough, you should give her a chance"
"Perhaps I should, she is the only blood relative I have left" Tecna sighed "she's still in the infirmary if I'm not mistaken, I should check on her since she is my sister"
Tecna left and went back to the infirmary
"Bloom what did you say to her?"
"I just told her what my mother told me, that the fact that I was adopted meant that I was chosen special and that her mother chose her because she thought she was special'
"Ah, you reminded her that she isn't alone and her mom still loves her" Musa smiled "where is she goin, by the way?"
"To talk to Kali, she'll probably run into her mother... they have a lot to work out"
Tecna arrived at the infirmary to see her mother talking to Kali
"Tecna, I wanted to apologize for not telling you the truth."
"Mom, I need to apologize too, I should have seen that their might have been reasons why you didn't tell me."
"What brought this on?"
"I had a talk with my friend Bloom who was also adopted, she told me that being adopted means that I was chosen by you to be a part of the family and that no matter what you still care about me"
"Of course, Tecna, that was what I wanted to tell you earlier"
"I guess I just wasn't ready to hear it" Tecna said
Tecna's mother hugged her near and then Tecna turned to Kali.
"Tecna, I guess... this may be awkward for a while" Kali smiled
"It might," Tecna agreed
"Tecna this is Kali, your sister"
"Yes, I know, it's good to finally meet you Kali"
"It's good to see you again, Tecna"
Faragonda arrived back at the infirmary
"Kali, Tecna why don't you two girls go on to Magix and start to get to know each other" she suggested
"Does that sound good to you?" Kali asked
"Yes" Tecna replied
"Tecna, there is someone I want you to meet" Kali said as a brunette pixy in a yellow outfit came flying over "this is my bonded pixy, Piper, the pixy of reason, and my grounding force when I start getting obsessive"
Tecna smiled slightly as they went to Magix.
"Tecna, you haven't said much" Piper pointed out
"I honestly don't know what to say" Tecna replied
"I know the feeling... what is your favorite video game?" Kali asked
Tecna named the game she played most often and Kali nearly started laughing
"What's so funny?" Tecna asked
"You mean besides the fact that I love that game too" Kali laughed slightly
"Really, what is your high score?"
"I don't really remember, I haven't had the chance to play it recently, I've had a lot on my mind lately ever since I ran into three witches that have made it their life's work to make my life miserable. They really like to pick on first year fairies, so if I were you I'd be careful"
"Can you tell me what they look like, so I know how to avoid them"
"Well, if it isn't a couple of pixies" a voice said
"You're about to meet them, Tecna" Kali groaned "transform"
"okay"
"Winx Magic"
"Let's go Enchantix" Kali said in her Enchantix she wore a purple halter dress that matched Tecna's body suite, gloves that matched the sleeves and boots of her sister's Winx form and her hair was lengthened to the point where it was probably longer than Icy's hair and had several silver filaments running through the ponytail.
They both looked to the witches and both recognized them. Then one of the witches went straight for Tecna, which would end up being her biggest mistake.
