Chapter 6

Bring It On

The next morning, Timmy was the first to wake up. Tecna was completely still, she wasn't shaking at all. That is until she finally opened her eyes, the beautiful dream was over, and it seemed like the nightmare had continued. Timmy was reading one of his books when she did awaken.

"Tecna, how did you sleep?" he asked as he carefully took Piff off her head.

"|I slept wonderfully." She replied dreamily as she got out of bed and hugged him.

"I'm so glad, are you able to eat something today?" Timmy asked her. He took her downstairs to the school cafeteria and sat her at a table. Then the other girls came down to eat.

"How are you feeling?" asked Flora.

"Better, but still terrified, the tea really helped my nerves, thanks Flora." Tecna hugged her friends.

"Is your stomach still in knots, you have to eat something today." Bloom gave her an apple and a piece of toast. She ate half the apple and the whole piece of toast, but she had a worried look in her eyes. Today could hold anything for her.

"We all have your back. And if this dude tries to do anything to you, he'll have to go through me!" Layla exclaimed.

"Me too!" Flora added.

"Bring it on! I won't a piece on this guy too." Musa pounded the table with her fist.

"I'm giving him a piece of my mind!" Stella stormed in as she heard their conversation.

"The Technolord's too powerful, your Enchantixes won't help." Tecna told them.

"Well we're going to try, for you!" Bloom announced.

"Timmy, you leave fighting this guy to us, you just make sure she sticks by you every second." Stella ordered.

"That's not too hard to do." Timmy responded.

"Don't get hurt." Tecna hugged all her friends tightly; she appreciated the support, but doubted their success.

"Tecna, I have something for you, but I left it back in your room." Timmy replied.

"Timmy, you didn't have to." Tecna wondered what he was about to give her. He took her back to her room and told her to close her eyes.

Chapter 7

Virtual Realty Date

Timmy guided Tecna trough the doorway of her room and sat her on the bed.

"Okay, open." he told her to open her eyes, there was a box wrapped in ribbons and bows on her lap.

"Oh Timmy!" she giggled as she unwrapped the bow. Inside the box were two pairs of virtual reality goggles.

"I've already programmed some simulations in for you." Timmy told her, "I'll show you." They both put one pair on and then faded into a world of purple glittery mist. Tecna's usual lavender top and skirt faded into an exquisite gown designed like her Enchantix. Timmy held her in his arms and looked in her eyes.

"This is so beautiful." she almost cried, but this time in happiness.

"Not as beautiful as you Tecna, I love you." Timmy wiped the tears from her eyes, and then he kissed her. As Timmy's simulation started to play a slow love song, they danced in the purple mist. This felt like a dream come true, for now. Tecna didn't even worry, she didn't even think about the Technolord's threat, all she knew was that she was happy with Timmy.

A while later, Timmy showed her another simulation he programmed into the goggles. It was a wonderful techno-city. It was just like her dream. Timmy took Tecna to a restaurant for milkshakes, and then they sat by a pond at a nearby park.

"I'm almost too scared to go back." Tecna replied when he told her it was time to leave.

"The girls will fight the Technolord if he comes for you, and I... I won't let him lay a finger on you." Timmy reassured her.

"That's what I'm worried about. The girls... he is ten times more powerful than any Enchantix, I don't think even convergence could hurt him." she explained.

"Bloom said they would try." he hugged her. With that, they held hands and took off their goggles. Timmy and Tecna were back in her room.

"That was amazing, thank you Timmy." she put her pair on her night stand and Timmy put his in his backpack.

"I just didn't want you to feel terrified all day. I was getting pretty worried last night when you had those nightmares. Today, I wanted you to feel special, because Tecna, you're my life." he sat next to her on the bed, and then kissed her once more. Tecna couldn't believe her ears, What he just said was the most romantic thing he's ever said to her, and he said some pretty sweet things lately.
