The sun began to sink slowly in the sky as the four fairies stepped outside the doors of Alfea. They stood quietly for a few minutes shuffling in their spots. Tecna squinted a little as she spotted some lights along the horizon.

"I think I can see them," said Tecna squinting a bit more as the levabikes came into view.

"Yep, that's them," added Layla.

Within minutes, the specialists pulled up in front of the girls. Flora shivered as the breeze from the bikes drifted over her and spread through her long flowing hair. They stood there quiet for a moment. Tecna's teal eyes wandered over each of the boys as they removed their helmets. Helia piped up first, a little more nervous than usual.

"Hey girls, you all ready to go?" he asked as he headed towards Flora, arms open ready for an embrace. Flora blushed again and hugged Helia affectionately.

"We're just waiting for Stella, Bloom's helping her," answered Musa as she walked towards Riven.

"Helping?" asked Sky whose face clearly showed his confusion.

"Stella is trying to put on a pair of boots which are way too small for her. Bloom's trying to help her get them on," said Layla who was feeling a little left out. She didn't have anyone to love, to hold her, or to reassure her when she was worried.

"Oh, I see," said Sky who was still struggling to understand why she still had a pair of shoes which didn't fit and why she didn't just throw them away.

"Where's Timmy?" asked Tecna who was staring at the empty levabike and was beginning to fear the worst.

Brandon noticed the fear in her voice and answered immediately to reassure her. "Don't worry Tec; he's still at Red Fountain finishing off his battle practice session. He really wanted to come and see you but he's been taking his battle practice very seriously recently. We brought an extra levabike with us for you and Layla; we figured that Layla might enjoy a go on one."

"I understand," she began to feel a lump in her throat appearing when she heard Stella behind her and saw her hobbling towards Brandon in a small purple top with a short black waistcoat over it. She wore some tight fitting red jeans with a flashy belt with an 'S' on. The infamous boots where tall and purple with a large heel on. She was followed by Bloom who both went straight to their boyfriends for a hug.

"Well if we're all here, we had better not waste any more time, let's go," said Riven impatiently.

Musa hopped on the back of Riven's bike and put on her helmet. Stella went with Brandon, Flora with Helia and Bloom with Sky. Layla and Tecna looked at each other; they were both a bit down so they gave each other a hug and followed the boys to Red Fountain.


They walked into the party, to which the rest of the Alfea students had already arrived. There was lots of flashing lights, a DJ in one corner who was pumping out loads of tunes to Musa's delight. Some of the girls grouped off to dance whilst Tecna went to get a drink as her eyes darted around the room in search for Timmy. She picked up a glass as a pair of hands covered her eyes. She gasped in shock but turned around to see the love of her life. She threw her arms around him, almost throwing him backwards.

"Hey cupcake, I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up. I've been longing to see you for a while," said Timmy who was catching his breath after being squeezed by Tecna.

"Oh I've missed you so much Timmy. What is it with this battle practice which means you can't come and see me?" She was staring longingly into his hazel eyes.

Timmy stared back at her. "I'm doing it for you Tecna. Ever… ever since I lost you in the Omega Dimension" he struggled "I realised I couldn't cope with losing you. So when I found you again, I promised myself and you that I would do everything I could to protect you. I will fight for you Tec, when you need me."

Tecna was touched inside, it seemed very illogical, but she liked it. She reached out to him and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Timmy began to blush.

"You're so sweet Timmy." They smiled at each other for a minute, lost in each other's eyes. Then, they interlocked their hands together a sat down at an empty table.

Stella saw them from a distance. She never did like it how Tecna separated herself from the world.

"Do you think I should ask Tecna and Timmy to come up to dance?" she asked Brandon.

"I wouldn't bother, you know what they're like, they hate being the centre of attention and they don't particularly like dancing. Besides, they look happy, I wouldn't bother interfering. They just need to spend some time together; they've been apart a lot recently."

"Well I know no better way of spending time with each other than a bit of dancing." She shuffled over to where they were sitting.

"Hey you two love birds, how about you do some dancing and lift your spirits?"

"Oh, that's okay Stella, we're quite happy here," replied Timmy as Tecna looked at him in agreement.

"Come on, it will be fun!" said Stella stubbornly.

"No really, we're fine Stella," said Tecna, trying to be polite.

"I refuse to take no for an answer!"

"Stella, there is a 100% chance that I will make a fool of myself if I go up to dance, you go and have fun, clearly you're enjoying it."

The addition of statistics in Tecna's answer began to aggravate Stella. She began to feel the fury build up inside her.

"Well come and have some fun with us rather than shutting yourself out from the world."

"I'm not 'shutting myself out from the world' and I am having fun!"

"Fine then, be boring!" said Stella sternly.

"Boring?" Tecna stood up in front of Stella leaving Timmy sitting awkwardly between them. "What do you mean 'boring'?"

"What I mean is that you never do anything. You always sit in your room playing computer games or doing homework all day and then randomly blurt out statistics expecting them to help us somehow but they never have!"

"Are you trying to say that I am useless and a waste of a fairy?" shouted Tecna.

"No! What I am saying is that you never do anything fun and you waste your time messing about with technology. GET A LIFE!" Suddenly, the whole room went quiet.

"Stella, Technology is my life! And I do have fun; I just prefer to be on my own rather than hogging the limelight like you do. Just because I don't like to do the things that you do doesn't mean there's something wrong with me. I am different to you Stella, everyone is different! If you refuse to accept me for who I am, then I suppose you are refusing me as a friend! Now leave me alone!" Tears were welling up in Tecna's eyes and Timmy sat there in utter shock. He had no idea what to do. Should he confront Stella, or should he comfort Tecna? Did she even want comforting? The rest of the Winx girls and the Specialists stood staring with their mouths open.

"Winx Enchantix!" called Tecna as she transformed. "I'm sorry Timmy. I'll see you soon." She kissed his forehead gently and removed a tear from his eye. Tecna then pushed Stella out the way and was soon followed by Timmy. She ran out the room with everyone staring at her. She hated it, she had to get away. She jumped up in the air when she got outside and let her beautiful sparkling purple wings carry her into the night. Timmy ran after her but the moment he saw her feet leave the ground he knew he would never catch up. He stopped. He didn't even know where she was going and it hurt him so much. Tears began to roll down his face as he screamed from the top of his lungs:

"TECNA!" He watched her fly into the night not knowing when he would see her again. Eventually, he collapsed in a heap on the floor, crying for his beautiful technology fairy.


Ooooooooo! That was so fun to write! And there's more excitement to come but it might take a while because I'm quite busy over Christmas. Anyway, enjoy and review x
