It was many years ago that Bloom, an Earth girl, embarked on an adventure that changed her life. Her new friend Stella brought her to Alfea, a school for fairies and there Bloom met new friends. Together with her friends Bloom faced many obstacles and over powered many foes. They came be known as the Winx, the Company of Light, saviors of Magix and the entire universe. Years of peace allowed these heroes to start new adventures as mothers and that is where this story begins…
Disclaimer: I do not own the Winx Club. No matter how much I wish I did. It belongs to its proper owner. This story, however, is my original idea and thus I own it. Please don't steal.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they never forgot anything they'd gone through together. They were the Winx Club, the new Company of Light, and best friends. Time had made rivers and valleys through their lives which slowly sent each on their own, but they knew they could always count on one another.
Bloom hadn't seen the girls in a very long time, a few years actually, and she'd been looking forward to seeing them after so long. She couldn't help it as her mind replayed all the adventures they'd had over and over.
"It will be good to have everyone together again."
"I couldn't agree more." A husky voice spoke behind Bloom. She turned and smiled at her husband. Time had been good to Sky. His father had gained a royal roll, as the servants called it, after his marriage, but Bloom had kept Sky in better shape. Of course she couldn't control the beard he'd grown, but she'd come to love having his prickly hair tickle her each time they kissed. "You look radiant, as usual."
"Thank you." She ran her hand through his hair before planting a kiss on him. As always she giggled.
"Should I shave?" He asked, now playing with his beard.
"No," she grabbed his hands, "I think everyone will still be able to recognize you."
"Cheeky." He smirked. "Well they shouldn't have any problem recognizing you. You've not changed a bit." He playfully teased her and Bloom blushed. He was being honest, though. Bloom hadn't changed much since her time at Alfea and she thanked time for the blessing. She leaned in to give him another peek, but as they got close someone whistled.
They looked around. They were the only two on the balcony and no one seemed to be in their room.
"Down here, love birds!" A familiar voice called to them.
Bloom and Sky looked over their balcony. Bloom's heart soared. "Flora! Helia! You're here!" Bloom recognized her right away, Flora hadn't changed at all, and Bloom was so excited to see her up close that she didn't even give them time to called back as she turned and began dashing down a level. Flora had begun running inside as well and they meet halfway into the open halls. Arms went in the air as they neared and they hugged each other tightly when they finally met.
"Bloom, I've missed you."
"Flora, it's good to see you."
Their husbands walked up beside them and shook hands.
"Who's this?" Sky noticed a small child standing behind Helia. His hair was short and caramel. His eyes were grey orbs and Sky could tell just by looking into them that the child was very wise for his age.
Bloom and Flora had separated and Bloom now had her attention on the little child as well. With all eyes on him the little one tucked further behind his parents. Flora giggled.
"This is our son, Tye." Helia tried to tug his son out of hiding as he spoke, but wasn't having much luck.
"Forgive him, he's a little shy." Flora explained.
"Hello there." Bloom reached out to the child. He was hesitant at first, but within a few moments he took her hand. "Welcome to our home, Tye." He nodded back.
"A quite one. He reminds me of you Helia." Sky nudged his old friend as he teased him.
"He takes after me more than our eldest." Helia wrapped his arm around Flora as he spoke.
"Let's not start talking about that." Flora frowned.
"Oh right, sorry." Helia hugged his wife as she began to sniffle.
"Oh, not her too." Sky looked at Bloom and saw as an all too recent memory washed over her. Then she began sniffling as well.
"So Bloom cried too." Helia asked.
"What mother wouldn't." Bloom sniffled through her words.
"When their child is growing up too fast." Flora added.
"There there." Tye patted his mother's arm.
At once the women stopped sniffling and again everyone looked at Tye.
"Well, I didn't think you were going to grace us with your lovely voice any time soon." Sky jested as he bent down to be level with Tye. "It's a good thing you did or else we might have two sobbing women right now."
Bloom and Flora laughed as Tye huffed and went back to hiding behind his mother.
Sky cleared his throat. "Shall we go into the gardens. A table's been set for you ladies and we can wait there until the others get here."
"Let's." Bloom snaked her arm around Flora's and tugged her friend along. "We've got so much to catch up on."
Flora laughed. "Yes we do."
A few things to clear up. Since a lot of people are still confused about the first chapter I will explain it.
The first chapter is about a group of mermaid friends who have NO ties to Lalya. None of them are her children. The princess in that chapter is the daughter of Tressa, the mermaid princess from the original series. The only reason I made that the first chapter is because the plot for this first seasoned story will revolve around those mermaids. They are very important to the story and so they were included first. As far as their looks go: I will cover that later. I didn't want to reveal too much in that first chapter. Right now I'm only setting the stage with the characters. More scenery will come in later for places like the underwater world and the Winx girls' homes or, in Bloom and Layla's case, castles.
Another thing I would like to mention is that this is not your typical next generation story. Don't expect all the Winx girls to have daughters. That's much to obvious for my taste and it's also a very over used theme. So expect something different. You even see in this chapter that I don't plan on giving it all away right away. That's boring to me and I like to let secrets slowly reveal themselves.
I'll continue introducing the characters that make up the group after these couple of chapters on the Winx, but I will not be obvious anymore with who their parents are. All will be revealed in time, but for now you already know Posh and Zita. The rest will come soon.
