Winxology, Part One


Harmony PoV

I wrinkled my nose. What was that smell? I cracked one bleary eye open and got a face full of tiger tongue.

"Ewww! Raja, that's so gross!" The tiger rumbled and hopped off the couch, but not before tugging on a very sleepy looking Shiloh and leading her toward her room.

I yawned and trudged toward my own room. I heard the shower running, so I figured Cayan had gone running earlier this morning. After changing my clothes, I was brushed out my long hair and snagged my Converse.

Cayan stepped out the bathroom surrounded by steam, her beads clicking together with each step.

"Ready for breakfast?" she asked with a lazy smile.

"Coffee, here I come!"

"What if there's no coffee?"

"Then I will just have to die." We walked out of the room and saw that everyone had finally abandoned the couch. Shiloh walked in to the common from the hallway.

"Hey Shi, where did you go?"

"Had to get Raja something to eat." She slid into her room past Sage, who was coming out. She looked fresh as daisy now.

"Good morning Harmony, Cayan. Ready for our first day of classes?"

"Yep," grinned Cayan. "Especially Aunt Tecna's!"

All of our mothers had been teachers here at Alfea, but most of them resigned due to various coronations, deals and sicknesses.

"What does she teach again?" asked Shiloh as she hopped around on one foot, trying to pull on her purple Converse.

"Winxology. Sounds cool right?"

Cayan frowned at Diana's door. "Is she going to take all day in there?"

Diana opened the door with a grin. "Calm down Cayan. Let's go eat! I'm dying of starvation!"

When we arrived in the dining hall, it was really crowded. We all managed to get something to eat though.

"Yo, Shiloh! Grab the Tabasco!" I yelled down the line. She sent some white sparkles over her shoulder and the sauce floated over to where Sage was already sitting, sorting through all our mail. I looked at her plate when I got over there and grimaced. "Yuck, spinach!"

"Don't knock it till you try it," Sage sang as she popped some in her mouth. A mushroom followed it. "Your grandma sent you a letter, Shi."

The princess of two kingdoms snagged the letter and shoved it in her lavender messenger bag.

"Anything else?" asked Cayan as she doused her eggs in salt and pepper.

"One from Aunt Roxy to me. Other than that, nothing." Cayan shrugged and took a sip of her hot chocolate. "I don't understand how you can drink that stuff," she said, eyeing my coffee in disgust.

"Well, I drown mine in sugar," joked Diana as she shook out her sugar packets. We all laughed and two slim, pale hands came down on Diana and Sage's shoulders. We all looked up to see Aunt Tecna smiling down at us.

"Enjoying your meal girls?"

"Yes Professor."

"Good," she approved with a smirk, "you'll need it. Your first lesson will be outdoors."

"May I have your attention please," called Miss Faragonda from the front of the room. "I have two very important announcements! Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, the annual Red Fountain-Alfea Back-to-School Mixer will have to be pushed back to the weekend after next." Sighs and boos echoed in the room at this. Griselda snapped her fingers and everyone quieted down.

"Secondly," Faragonda continued, "All the freshman fairies will only be attending one class today. That class is Winxology, taught by Professor Tecna." She nodded at the pink haired genius.

"Right then," called Tecna, "After breakfast, meet in the courtyard for further instructions. If you're late, you'll miss out on more than just a great lesson. That is all."

Excited chattering filled the room as Tecna left.

"What do you think we'll be doing?" wondered Sage, taking another sip of coffee.

"Maybe an obstacle course," suggested Diana.

"Probably," I agreed. "There isn't much we can do. Spell-wise, I mean. Most everyone can handle anything to do with their element."

"True," giggled Cayan, biting into her toast.

Turns out we were totally wrong on both counts.

When we made it to the courtyard, Tecna stood there with six glowing orbs floating around her.

"Everyone here? Fantastic. All right ladies, this is your assignment. You will split up into six teams of five. I will assign you one of these orbs. Before I explain further, form you teams."

There was two minutes of shuffling and upset girls who had more than five friends before Tecna waved her hand and a purple orb flew to our group to hover in front of Shiloh's face.

"On my mark, your orbs will flee from you. You must catch it for further instructions. Ready?"

The orbs shot off into the distance. "Go!"

Flashes of light indicated thirty fairies transforming and taking flight after the orbs. Shiloh emerged from the light in her shimmery lavender one strap dress and white elbow length gloves and knee length boots, her violet wings unfurling slowly. On her head was a silver circlet with a sapphire in the shape of a teardrop.

Diana's pale gold circlet matched her wings. Her halter dress was an orange amber on top that slowly lightened to pale gold, the skirt of the dress cutting diagonally from the middle of her right thigh to an inch above her left knee. She also had amber ankle boots.

Cayan had a navy halter-top that ended just below her breast and had matching shorts that ended at mid thigh. Light blue bands encircled her wrists and they were the same color as her curved wings. Thigh high navy boots completed her kick ass look.

Sage looked like the kind of fairies Earth children dream about, wit her dark forest green sleeves attached to the light green bodice with a leafy green skirt that ended just above her knees. Her ankle boots were the same forest green as her as her sleeves. She also had light green elbow length gloves and a black choker. Her black hair was swept up into an elegant bun and held in place by a four-leaf clover clip. Her long sweeping wings were dual-colored: dark forest green on top and pale sky blue on the bottom.

My own transformation left me in a bright red strapless top that ended just below my rib cage and a matching knee length skirt that had slits to my thighs. I had red knee high boots and fingerless gloves the same color and my glossy black and pink hair was pulled up into a ponytail and fastened with a sheath-clasp with a treble clef embossed on it. My rose-colored wings tugged at my back and fluttered erratically.

"Ours went this way!" shouted Cayan as we all took off. She was pointing toward the lake.

"Let's go! Catch that orb!" yelled Shiloh. I was, by far, the fastest flier and reached the lake before the others. I spotted our purple light hovering on the edge of the lake where the forest became Cloud Tower territory. "There!"

Cayan brought her arms up in a sweeping motion. "Wave Wall!"

Shiloh cupped her hands and called, "Frozen Breeze!" before blowing. A giant wave rose up and around the tiny orb and froze to keep it from escaping. I zoomed in and captured it carefully between my fingers.

"Nice catch Harmony," cheered Diana, doing little pirouettes in the sky.

"Stop twirling and get over here," I said, rolling my eyes. We all sat on the frozen ice, examining the orb.

"So… now what?" asked Shiloh after a couple seconds.

"Uh… that is a very good question," mumbled Cayan.

Sage touched my wrist gently. "Look, it turned red."

Diana wriggled next to me. "Let me see it!"

I carefully passed it to her and it faded to a rich gold. Diana squealed. "That's so cool!"

The minute she spoke, the orb floated up into the air and unraveled like a ball of yarn.

"Di! You broke it," snapped Cayan. Diana looked scared, but then Shiloh said, "Wait, it's doing something!"

The golden string had stretched out and formed words.

'If you seek the prize, know this: no one can match my wits.

Always in class, find me if you can!'

"What does that mean?" I muttered, folding my arms.

"It's almost like someone tried to write a riddle and gave up after the first line," Shiloh giggled from behind her hand.

"Ok, so we figure out the riddle and find the person or creature it's talking about," said Cayan crossing her legs and leaning back.

"Well, it'll be someone smart. Most likely a teacher," I said tapping my finger on my crossed arms.

"Paladin? Wizgiz?" suggested Diana with a shrug.

I shook my head. "They would've come up with a better riddle."

"What about Tecna?" asked Shiloh.

"No way," said Cayan, "She just sent us on a chase after a ball of light. Why would she do that just so we could come back to her?"

"What about…"

"I think we're thinking about the first line too hard," interrupted Sage. "The last one asks us to find them."

"Almost like a game… Oh! I know!" Diana slammed her fist down on her hand. "It's Digix!"

"Tecna's pixie?" asked Shiloh skeptically.

"Have you got a better idea?"

"Well, no…"

"Then let's go for it! What have we got to lose?"

"The contest," I muttered, but we all flew back to Alfea and went to the classroom.

"Here little pixie. Come out, come out, wherever you are," sang Cayan.

"Creeper," teased Shiloh as I moved to my toward Tecna's desk. Sage followed me and froze. "Shh! Listen!"

We went still. After five seconds, we heard a giggle come from the computer screen.

"Digix~! The orb said to find you! Come out," cooed Cayan in that same creepy voice.

"Could you be any creepier? I don't think the Cloud Tower witches are impressed yet," joked Diana. Louder giggles came from the screen and she peeked out from behind a link to the Internet.

"Hi girls," she chirped before hopping out of the screen. "Should've known you'd be the first to show up!"

We laughed and Shiloh asked, "Digix, do you have any instructions for us?"

The pixie flew over to the windowsill and landed on one of six envelopes.

"Open it!" was all the little genius said before going to hide behind the potted plant in the corner. Shiloh picked up the envelope and it turned lavender at her touch.

"Should I open it?" she asked, dangling it in front of us. Cayan swatted her shoulder.

"Okay, okay! I'm opening it!" Shiloh flipped it over and slid her finger under the flap. Inside was a violet card with gold letters that read, "At the foot of the tower, look for the flower."

"Well that's easy," I remarked as I headed for the door.

"Whaddaya mean?" asked Cayan as the others hurried to catch up to me.

"We have to go to Cloud Tower."

This news went over as well as can be expected. Cayan and Diana made sour faces and Shiloh sighed.

Sage frowned. "C'mon. They're girls our age. And it's not like you have to talk to them."

We went out he front doors and took to the sky.

"We don't even have to go in," I pointed out. This brightened Cayan and Shiloh considerably, but Diana still sulked. "It's so dark over there! The moon doesn't even shine!"

"Then you can wait in the forest," said Sage placidly.

After fifteen minutes of flying, Diana perched on a tree limb and folded her arms. "I won't take another step towards that awful place!"

"Technically you won't. We're flying," I said dryly.

Diana stuck her tongue out at me. "I'm staying right here."

Shiloh turned to the rest of us. "She can't stay here alone."

Cayan rolled her eyes. "I'll stay too. See you guys in a few."

Sage, Shiloh and I waved and flew the last mile to Cloud Tower.
