Author's notes: This chapter may be a tad bit confusing, and it might suck. So you have been warned. By the way, the story basically starts here, where the Winx and the Specialists will be introduced to the children they're going to look after, so yay? I also added another kid in those group of kids, so yeah, there are eight of them now, I just wanted it to be an even number.


*Red Fountain Ship*

"Well, this is going to be awkward..." Brandon gulped nervously after spotting his ex-girlfriend with her new boyfriend, along with her friends, waiting for them on the courtyard. "Do we still want to do this?" He asked to his friends as they prepared to land the ship.

"Do we even have a choice?" Riven answered bitterly, frowning and scrunching his nose as he caught the sight of Musa laughing with Max. "Saladin and Codatorta practically dragged us out of our dorm, remember?"

The guys winced at the memory of being dragged out of their dorms by their Headmaster and vice-headmaster."Well, at least Tecna's new boyfriend isn't here." Timmy sighed as he looked at his ex-girlfriend, standing alone busy with a device on her hand.

"Neither are Flora's." Helia says, sighing in relief after spotting his beloved Flora alone.

"Hey guys!" Stella cheerfully greeted after the Specialists landed their ship. "Finally! We've been waiting FOREVER!" She exclaimed, practically clinging into Chandler's, her new boyfriend's, arm.

"Stella, it's been 5 minutes since we went outside." Tecna points out.

"Whatever!" Stella waved it off and looked at the Specialists, jerking her thumb over her shoulder "Come on people, let's go! I want this mission to be over ASAP!" She said to the boys as she walked back to the school and into the Headmistress' office with the Winx, with the Specialists eventually following them.


...

*Headmistress' Office*

"Well, this is awkward." Chandler, a young man in his early 20's, with a strong-built body like a Specialist should (He graduated in Red Fountain), a slightly tanned skin, short light blond hair, and golden eyes, commented after a moment of awkward silence in the Headmistress' office.

"Real awkward..." Max chuckles nervously, scratching the back of his head. But stopped as Riven glared at him for how many times now. For some reason, Riven seemed to generally hate the DJ of Melody, and he isn't sure why. Probably because he's jealous that Max is dating Musa now, or maybe the magenta haired Specialist just finds him really annoying, which isn't really that much of a surprise. But Max is terrified of him nonetheless.

"Guys, I think we need to leave." Dominic informed them, giving a polite nod to Faragonda and a quick kiss to his girlfriend Bloom, before opening the door and signalling the other new boyfriends to go out. "This is a mission between the Winx and those guys, we don't really need interfere, do we?" Dominic a man in his early 20's, with a muscular body, pale skin, short wavy orange hair with blond tips resembling a flame, and green eyes.

"I guess not." Chandler sighed, following the fiery-headed prince, not before giving a flying kiss and a wink to Stella, who blushed and giggled, Brandon on the other hand looked like he is about to kill someone.

Max didn't hesitate to leave with the two ex-Specialists, before letting Musa know, of course. Seeing her nod, he quickly hightailed it to the door, "Hey, wait up!" He called after the two.

After the dark-haired DJ left, Riven spoke. "Finally. Can we get on the flippin' mission already?"

Musa glared at him, but said nothing nonetheless. "Very well." Faragonda cleared her throat, "This mission is unlike any othe-"

"You mean it's harder or something?" Riven rudely interrupted her, he doesn't know why, but he's in an extremely bad mood today, or rather, right now. "Been there, done that."

"Riven, shut up." Musa hissed at the grumpy Specialist, before turning to the Alfea Headmistress. "Ms. F, continue."

Faragonda nodded, "Like I said, this mission is unlike any other." The Winx looked at each other, unsure about this 'mission unlike any other' part. "But it will not be any dangerous, nor you girls would need a new transformation." She assured, "All you need to do is to protect and watch over some...individuals."

They raised a brow at this. "You mean we're going to be bodyguards?" Sky questions, speaking for the first time in this chapter after the author forgot to mention him on the last scene.

"Not exactly..." Griselda's voice can be heard behind the door, along with children's blabbering. The gang was confused for a moment and blinked as the door opened, revealing their head of discipline Griselda, along with eight children between the ages of four to eight, the same children that Musa and Tecna had spotted from the last chapter.

"Hello!" One of them greeted, a girl, not older than 8, with long chocolate brown hair tied into pigtails, and bright hazel eyes.

"What the..." Brandon started, but was interrupted by the headmistress.

"These will be the 'individuals' that you will watch over." Faragonda said, referring to the group of children.

"So what you're saying is, we're babysitters?" Musa asked the headmistress with a 'what the hell' look.

"Yes...?" Faragonda gives a sheepish smile.

"If we're just going to babysit these kids, I don't get why we still need these guys." Layla says, referring to the Specialists. "I mean, babysitting can't be that hard." Nabu frowned at this.

"It's actually harder than you think, Layla." Flora says, "I took care of Miele when she was very young and trust me, it was not pleasant." She shudders.

"Anyway," Faragonda continued, "You will not take of these children by group, but rather, by pair."

"Oh please don't say what I think you're saying..." Stella bit her lip at this as she glances at Brandon, who also seemed to tense up.

"I have no clue as to what you are referring to, Ms. Stella." Faragonda says innocently, before bringing out a piece of paper and clearing her throat. "Here are the pairs,"

Everyone in the room, with the exception of Faragonda, the children, and Griselda, tensed up. If this is what they think it is, then...

"Bloom and Sky."

Well crap. The group thought, this is obviously an attempt to get the original couples back together. Faragonda smiled at them and motioned them to come forward. The ex-couple gulped and reluctantly stepped forward together, and to their surprise, a child did too, as if she knew that she would be assigned to them. "This is Scarlet." Faragonda gestured to the young girl. The girl, Scarlet, looks about 7 years old, with pale skin, long blonde hair with red streaks on a ponytail, and bright cyan eyes.

"Hi!" Scarlet greeted the two, waving her hands cheerfully.

Both Bloom and Sky crouched down to the girl's height, "Hi, Scarlet." Bloom greeted her back, giving her a sweet smile that Sky can't help but stare at. "I'm Bloom, and he's Sky." She said to the girl, gesturing to Sky and herself. Before they know it, they were already attacked with a hug by the girl.

Faragonda couldn't help but smile as she continued on with the list. "Next up: Stella and Brandon."

This is going to take really long...Stella thought as she and her ex-boyfriend stepped forward.

...

After the assigning of partners and who they're looking after are done, the Winx and the Specialists are now standing in the Winx dorm, with the children they're looking after.

Let's see whose partner is whose and what kid they're looking after, shall we?

First, we have Stella and Brandon. No surprise here. But unlike the others, they look after not one, but TWO children. Twins, a boy and a girl. Yes, Stella was complaining the whole time about how her friends are looking after only one child (with the exception of Musa and Riven) and she's sitting here with two. Talk about a pain. For the boy, we have Lucian, also known as Luke. He is eight years old and is one of the oldest of the group of children. He has short golden hair and matching charming eyes. As for the girl, we have Lucille, also known as Lucy. Like her twin brother, she is 8 years old and only younger than Luke by a minute. She has long chocolate brown hair tied into pigtails and bright hazel colored eyes.

Next up, we have Flora and Helia. Luckily for them, they only have to look after one child, and that is a girl. Her name is Heather and she is 5 years old, she has long light brown hair and narrow dark eyes.

Then we have Musa and Riven. And let's just say Riven doesn't like this. Like, at all. Not only do they have to look after a kid, but they're looking after two kids! Oh, what has Riven done to deserve this? Anyway, first is a girl named Raven, she is 6 years old, with short maroon hair tied into pigtails and slanted blue eyes. The other is a boy named Reed. He is 6 years old with short spiky dark blue hair and sharp purple eyes.

Second to the last is Tecna and Timmy. With a young boy named, wait for it, Link! Odd name, they both thought, but then Timmy remembered that this name was the name of their virtual child in his game of the Sims, and now he found it more odd, but he just shrugged it off. Link is 6 years old, with shaggy orange brown hair, and curious looking teal eyes. Yes, this is the boy that Tecna thought to have looked a lot like Timmy, but upon closer inspection, he has different eyes, which calmed Tecna down a little, she was getting worried she's going to look after a mini-Timmy.

Last one, we have Layla and Nabu. They're going to look after yet another young boy, his name is Levi. Levi is a young 7 year old with dark skin, medium-length wavy dark brown hair, and cerulean eyes. He also seemed to be a wizard of some sorts, and this somewhat adds more trouble for the couple. Screw twins, it's the troublemaking wizard kid you should be worried about.

Well, Faragonda is right. This is a mission like no other...


Authors Notes: Well, I know I could have done better, but I'm just really tired right now guys. Alright? I swear I could do better on the next chapter, I promise!

Okay, the kids they'll look after is in this order if you're still confused (for some reason)

Bloom and Sky- Scarlet (7)

Stella and Brandon: Lucian/Luke and Lucille/Lucy (Twins, 8)

Flora and Helia: Heather (5)

Musa and Riven: Raven (6) and Reed (4)

Tecna and Timmy: Link (6)

Layla and Nabu: Levi (7)

Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious, that they're, y'know. But aRE YOU SURE? You can't be too sure, y'know...trust no one. Yes, even me.

Oh yeah, I forgot about their new boyfriends, oh wait no I didn't, phew. So yeah, Dominic and Chandler is now introduced, but Forrest, not yet, and Nex, well, you already know him. But I'll show them in the next future chapters. For now, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and feel free to review your thoughts or something, at least something motivate me. Okay? Okay. Until next time!
