Enjoy chapter 4! This chapter was updated and published now to celebrate Winx Club's tenth anniversary. Ten years flew by so fast; I was ten when it aired on TV! (Edited as of: 2/19/16)

Revised: Winx Club Eternix Part 1 Chapter 4: The Troublesome Fairy, Nicolette

Roxy laid on her bed face up and with her boots on, her phone in her hand. She looked up to the ceiling then to her cell.

Maybe, I should call Dad? Roxy shook her head. A few hours and already calling her parents? It wasn't just the thought, but it would feel strange to speak to Morgana right now; the strange feeling that gave Roxy a small sinkhole feeling in her chest. The Winx would be her second option, but after the dispute Bloom had with Aisha, it was for the best that the earthian didn't call them. She slinked out of bed and walked over to her room's door. She touched the handle and turned the doorknob, but Roxy stood facing the door. Something about it seemed empty. She took a peek at her roommate's door: the stain glass of her front door had a symbol of a cloud on it. Roxy closed her door and eyed the blankness of her door. She opened her door again and watched her roommate's door for a second time before she looked back at her door.

"Are door's special ordered?" Roxy questioned. She placed her hand on the glass. As she retracted her hand, the stain glass tones of green changed. The shifting ended with a paw print framed on the glass. Roxy slowly opened her door and left her room with her eyes on the stain glass. "Wow..."

Lilith stood behind her, her expression flat but raised an eyebrow at her roommate. Roxy smiled, "the door...the stain glass changed into a paw..."

Lilith examined Roxy. She creeped back into her room, closing the door softly.

"I'm just about to leave, since I like well, left my room—which is right here of course! And you're in your room and I'm still here babbling like an idiot…"

~O~

To Roxy's surprise the library It had brown shelves, computers, earth green walls that matched those of the hallways, golden podium facing a gated part of the library and red carpeting. Bloom told her about the shock when she got into Magix, things were so contemporary compared to her initial ideas, but there were dungeons if you looked deep enough in the school and the library had one to store more outdated materials.

It wasn't that the study center was unimpressive. It was a magnificent facility, far bigger than what the school looked like it could hold. It might even be bigger than Gardenia's county library. From the looks of things, it was a bookworm's paradise or the place to go for quiet and a place to think—or if you had nothing specifically to think of and the large amount of text somehow inspired you to think. She'd wonder for a while, not in the mood for food nor meeting any of the students. She expected this room to have been filled with scrolls, stone tablets, dim candle lighting and an arching stone door that could only open with a password or solving a riddle.

A few students were here and an ogre: a yellow giant with a sight problem that swept the carpet while humming to the tune of his mp3 and dancing. As Roxy explored, she heard a quiet chatter followed by a shhh. Roxy walked through one of the aisle, scrolling through the names of books from their spines, the only materials in the library that looked magical. "'The magic behind love. A text of the origins of love and its magic,'" she said. The book next to it had something to do with Cupids and the other after it about love potions. "Okay..." The books within this area contained either something about love, its magical history or potions that involve using an items pertaining love. Roxy scratched her head. "I wonder what class would need a love potion? I mean, a potion's class but what would be the purpose?"

Shh!

Someone must be studying hard before the semester. Whoever this student was, they needed to relax, Roxy thought.

The magenta haired girl moved on to a next bookcase, finding out this section had text related to water, oceans and the magic pertaining to water. The next bookcase was separated by organic properties and the magic related to them. "Interesting." Another shhh made Roxy quick to turn her head. "Why do they keep doing that?" she whispered.

When she finished her view of the standing cases, she took a look at the cases on the walls. There wasn't much for Roxy to decipher from these: many were just big text; some were the same books translated into different characters. She breezed through the next until one book on the top shelve got her attention, Intro to Potionology edition 2. She removed the book from its shelf and brought it to the main desk. "I'd like to take this book out."

The librarian, a purple haired female with circular frames, fumbled over some books in her cart. "I'm sorry; I'm really busy sorting out books." When she looked up at the young girl, Barbetea frowned. "That book isn't allowed for removal, or at least that edition. That is a reference guide, only to use for studying in the library."

"Oh..."

Barbetea adjusted her glasses, leaning in little bit closer to Roxy with the table in the middle. "Most administrators would be confused why you're-out of all places to be before the semester began- in the library, but I not. For someone to spend her time in the library reading is a person of true mystery and intelligence since the adventures we love are behind the crisp sheets and firm covers of our novels!"

Roxy's eyes widen, "Well, I don't know about all that-"

"Oh...I'm a bit carried away. Back to Magix…" Barbetea released her breath. "You can read it while you're still here. I'll never deny anyone the chance to read. You can come back the first week of the school to fill out the registration form and I'll get you a card the same day."

"I wanted to get some piece with my romance novels, but no, I get to spend today sorting and sorting and sorting. Now I have to wait until tonight to find out of Elizabeth will fall for the vampire prince...curse the phoenix..." The librarian mumbled as the student walked off, heaving a text from the cart to her table. The table shook as the book lowered on her desk. "Sometimes, I don't get why I have magic and still have to lift heavy books..."

Shh!

~O~

Potions are a very particular division of magic involving non magical materials and organic forms of magic energy and materials. Potions intended for Love, Hate, Strength, Defense, Healing and other purposeful means. Prior to the now use for raw magical power for means, potions and the study of potions were the main source of magical need and manipulation.

That was enough for before Roxy closed the textbook. She checked her cellphone; she was already technologically inclined and no Tecna or any of the other girls to help her use it. The holographic imaging, the unusual keys and the occasional camera flashes nerved her on her first uses of the device, only looking at the device for the time so far, wondering why no one called her. Roxy found out the reason with some investigation: it was on silent and 6 miss calls from her father. She tapped her cell on the textbook; her dad left a long voicemail. Or the message could be from Morgana.

Roxy tensed. Morgana, her mother...the teen wouldn't get use to calling her by that title anytime soon. She remembered the smile, the one she had on her face when Roxy left to Alfea. It made Roxy feel guilty: guilty for leaving her father, guilty for leaving Artu, guilty for leaving Gardenia, guilty for leaving her. Morgana could've taught her everything she needed to know as a fairy with the option to learn from Aurora, Siblya or Nebula, though the latter fairy gave Roxy an odd vibe. Instead, she chose Alfea, more contemporary than she thought and as Roxy laid her head on her crossed arms thought about how much lonelier than she considered her Alfea experience would be.

She whispered her mother's name, saying mom and repeated. Roxy ought to learn how to relate them, to change her view as the Queen of the terrestrial fairies to her mother.

Morgana wasn't at fault. The Wizards of the Black Circle were. They took away everything that Roxy could have had with her mother, sixteen years of a relationship gone. After all the battles and the Wizards received the punishment they deserved, it still didn't change one thing: her mother was a stranger. Morgana might not feel the same as her daughter, possibly more regret than Roxy believed. Klaus...from his face the mixture of seeing the woman of his life after forgetting her existence; everything was a mixture of regrets, happiness and sorrow.

Bloom told Roxy the tale of discovering her parents and earning her full Enchantix in the process. The Ansestral's curse on Domino was finally lifted as she got everything of her dreams: a kingdom, a crown, a glimpse of her future and her origin and the mystery behind it revealed. It sounded selfish at first to hear that Bloom was unhappy than before but the idea she lost out on a life that she could have had, that her sister gave her life so she lived one and that she could never come to terms for calling her biological parents Mom and Dad. Still, from her parent's perspective knowing that their first daughter was killed from physical existence and second has no emotional connection to them. Sometimes, the mystery was better than the reality. Whether it was from her father or Morgana, she was not going to hear the voicemail anytime soon.

Roxy managed to turned off her device and stood up from her seat when a large book slammed to the floor. She, some of the students nearby and sweeping ogre exchanging startled looks as the latter pulled off his headphones, turned off his mp3 and looked up in confusion.

"Maybe a loose book?" Roxy said with a shrug.

Knut shook his head. "I don't think so. They are very secure on each shelf." A couple more books fell, a few hit the giants head before he covered it. A giggle trailed in the silence after the ruckus ceased. "Hey!" Knut yelled. A shhh and laughter responded to his yell from above.

A girl sat on top of the bookcase with her legs crossed and grinned ear to ear at the onlookers below. Her long brown hair pulled to a side ponytail, her oversized red and black flannel shirt looked more like jacket over her black leggings and sneakers. "Ms. Barbetea would respect a gentle whisper. We need to be quite for the rest of the bookworms so shhh."

"You're the one that kept shhhing me," One of the students said. Other added on to hearing the brunette's annoying chat.

"Get down from there!" Another student yelled. Other students chanted on for her to get down. A few left, some not bothering with the antics and others trying to get authority to handle the girl.

"But it's so much fun on top here! You can see how big this place is from up here." The girl stood up. She leaped from the bookcase to another one, flailing her arms when she slipped on her step. "Whoa, I need to be careful. It might take a while to clean up blood from these carpets."

Knut panicked. "Ms. Barbetea!" The ogre ran to the front desk.

The girl crossed her arms. "Great. I was having so much fun."

"Why don't you come up and join me, gloomy girl?" The girl leaped to another bookcase, this time without a slip step. She watched Roxy as she sat down.

"Why don't you get down from there? You're not afraid to be punished?"

"A punishment, you say? Why so early in the school year?"

"I should be asking you that question." Who was this girl? "Are all students in Alfea missing screws...?"

"I hope so! Don't you think that it would be exciting if they enjoy hopping over bookcases like me?"

The librarian ran to the commotion with Knut trailing behind. "Oh!" She pointed at the books on the floor, and then marched to the shelf where the girl stood. "Destroying property! Destroying books! This is unacceptable! Unacceptable!"

"What fun are books when adventures are in front of your face?" She hopped to three bookcases. "If you want me to stop, you'll need to catch me!"

Ms. Barbetea huffed. Red with anger she walked back to her desk. "Knut, keep her in your sight and don't make her leave the library! I need to make a call!" Knut nodded to her orders, adjusted his glasses and focused on the girl above.

The girl sighted and shrugged. She stretched before she sat down on the shelf, taking one of the books and dropping it to the floor. "Hey gloomy girl, what's your name?"

"Roxy..."

"Short for Roxanne?" The Animal fairy nodded. "That's a pretty name: Roxy...Roxanne...Rox. Can I call you Rox?"

"No."

"Oh, you're a snappy one! I like your style, Rox," the girl said, dropping another book to the floor.

"Can you stop doing that? Do you think the librarian works hard to organize those books?"

The girls pursed her lips. "Eh. Magic always seems to fix everything in this school." She threw down more books as the gathering watched. One of the students called her a moron and the girl thanked her for the compliment. "There was one time I wanted to be a joker, to entertain a King and Queen of a kingdom by creating a mess of fun- but I like to do things spontaneously, not when ordered."

"Nicolette, you get down from there this instant!" The sentence boomed through the library. Instead of shhhing, the brown haired girl bit her lip. The vice principal marched towards the spectacle, students and ogre alike parted for the authority to pass. Ms. Barbetea marched with her superior with a smirk.

"Auntie 'Selda...how nice to see you..."

"Get down."

The girl leaped off the edge and landed soundly on the carpet. Vice Principal Griselda, writing something in her notepad, tapped her foot to the red carpeted floors. The girl straighter her posture, feet lined up, chest out and gave a salute to the Vice principal, "Nicolette, your delightful niece at your service!"

"Detention for your first week of school; I expect you to meet me in my office for the first day of class to begin your punishment. Maybe I should appoint to carry out your punishment in the library helping Barbetea reshelf her books." She tore off a sheet from her notepad and gave it to the troublemaker.

"No-no, no!" Barbetea waved her hands in disagreement. "I don't want this child in my library! Never before have I seen a child act like-like an animal. Do you know the type of damage dropping a text from that high to the floor can cause!? A restoration spell can do so much until you'll need a book binder, then that's a tab on the school and another poor book that doesn't deserve to end up in the heap! I cannot- I will not allow her in my library! Expulsion is more fitting"

"Ms. Barbetea." Griselda's calm tone had more bite to it than her performance as the guide around the school for the freshman than her zero-tolerance tone along with her pointy index figure nerved the youngest of the students. It showed on the librarian, whom eyes widen and grunted. "She caused trouble in the library, so I expect her to pay for her actions here. And I remember you saying you won't deny the chance of anyone reading in the library, so what if she needs that?"

The librarian mumbled under her breath, her face clearly not agreeing with her superior's orders. Roxy couldn't blame her. "...fine."

"Then we have come to a conclusion. You will come to my office at the end of the first day and your punishment will begin, Nicolette. And don't you think about skipping your priorities." Griselda left the library. Barbetea glared at the student, grumbling as she returned to her readings as she spelled all books that fell to the ground back to their previous places on the bookcases. Knut placed his headphones back on and returned to sweeping.

The troublesome fairy crossed her arms and smiled as she saw Knut carried on to his duties. "I really admire that ogre. He just gets back to his business, headphones and all and hums while doing so. That and he's so yellow."

"So you're Nicolette. It seems like you're taking detention well."

Nicolette scratched her chin. "Maybe. I heard it was a punishment, so maybe I shouldn't take it too well, huh?"

"You...you don't know what detention is...?"

"I know it's in the handbook. It shouldn't be so bad that I get to see my aunt. Well, it's been fun Rox," Nicolette rested her hand on her shoulder, "I have places to see, people to meet and Magix to explore. See you around sometime, gloomy girl."

Roxy stood for a while, rubbing where the troublesome student touched her shoulder. At least the Animal fairy wasn't bored anymore.

Author's note: Fixed writing mistakes, mainly for Nicolette's introduction. Rearranged content with chapter three. Looking back at the original fanfic, the chapter was Trix related and this one was Roxy-related. Nicolette was a character I created for the discontinued part 2 for the original fanfic that I scrapped but it looks like I found a special place in this fanfic for her. And my ode to the original version: Weapons History and Dragon command were course I created for the Winx during their stay at Red Fountain.

Next chapter: Royals tend to stand on their own, but when their realm is in trouble it helps to get assistance from an empire.
