When two worlds collide!

The Guardians & the winx!

Chapter 7: time changes, but who you are won't!

{In Gardenia}

The town of Gardenia was everything like Bloom and the tour Guide told them it was peaceful, friendly and full of life and non magic. Adults road to work or walked as it wasn't such a big place and kids rod on scooters that Caleb had not seen before. Girls rode with just helmets on no other protection their hair trailed behind them.

Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, Hay-Lin, Caleb and Matt walked around town; around this small town admiring the young kids run freely in the park, couples sat under trees making out or saying goodbye or just spending time together something Will and Matt had hardly done lately ever since they met the winx.

The real reason they were here was for a pretty long red haired girl in blue with the most light shade ocean blue eyes and kind, caring fairy they knew. Just had not been back to Alfea in three days as Flora told them on the phone which worried them and Stella said she stayed here; they had walked for about two hours now and Cornelia and Irma moaned how tired they were so they went to find a café to drink something cold on a hot day.

"You think in a small town Bloom would be easy to spot" Matt said

"Hey over there! A small café!" Hay-Lin practically jumped for joy but that joy was soon crushed as Caleb placed his hand on her shoulder saying "in meridian we would walk in drink then go to battle but on earth you find the place and jump for joy why?"

"it's called relaxing Caleb" Irma said casually in a tone that annoyed him to the point that Will did too; "what will it be?" the waitress asked in a less then happy tone, her eyes pretend to be friendly but kept looking over to the corner of the café.

"7 smoothies please" Cornelia said which the lady took one look at them then wrote it down smirking when she saw Caleb give a questionable look at the redhead and brown head "you know if you keep that look on your face too long people will think you strange or weird" then she left as the group just blinked at her earlier but noticed some waitress signing at Matt and Caleb giving the girls a reason to want to hit them.

"So any idea where we could find Bloom?" Will asked breaking the tense looking "how about we use the map Stella gave us before she left us in the Silver dragon's basement?" Matt said it was true she came through a portal giving them a map and a picture of Bloom's home in hopes they find it without getting lost [like now] before asking to come back to Alfea the fight for Magix and Alfea is underway so she was needed back.

The waitress came back so quietly she almost scared them out the skins when she spoke placing Will's down "you guys aren't skipping school to have smoothies here are you?"

"What? No…we came on a field trip" Taranee quickly said

"Yeah for two days but we are exploring now" Hay-Lin added as the woman named Amy stood up holding her tray against her chest with a look saying uh-huh like she did not believe them, Making the girls grin wider and the guys laughing nervously.

"Yeah well, just be careful this town is not all peaceful as it looks some strange things happen at night time and sometimes in the day" Amy said when she was just going to leave matt quickly grabbed her wrist causing her to face him "what kinda of things?"

Amy pulled her wrist free placing her arm hang on her side while the other held the tray still by her chest "why are you so interested?" she asked

"no reason just…we want to know all we can about this town" Irma said more like lied looking at Cornelia then at Will, Taranee, Hay-Lin, Caleb and Matt then back at Amy who looked once again to the corner frowning.

"what I hear is strange kinds of sparks appear like magic or they say then again people saw a woman in blue with large wings some call her blue angel my guess is someone is playing hero" Amy said the gang repeated "blue angel?"

"hey, I'm happy we got something new in this town after all every town needs its gossip of made up stories it brings new people here and every time someone thinks that they got a snap shot they come here only to find it was blank or blue" Amy covered her mouth with her hand to hold the laughter of the fools who did this but the gang just wanted to learn more; it was Bloom not dough about it.

Suddenly a loud scream came from the other side of the café causing Amy and the group too turned to see two thugs or what they looked like it. "Get off me!" it was one of the waitresses that eyed Caleb and Matt but was scared as the guy pulled her near.

"Hey!" Amy yelled throwing her tray at the guy like a football with ease shocking the group but more surprise came when she race over to them like she had power to knock them out, the gang only watched the scene as both girls were getting pulled in a way the made both Matt and Caleb get up but froze when the door opened.

"how about picking on someone with more fight in them, like me!" the girl in a mini blue skirt and top that tied around her neck and high hill sandals, her long red hair was pulled in a high pony tale and her hands on her hips like she knew them and her pet on her side on the floor standing like her well sort of.

Bloom! No mistaking it and when the group thought it was like something of fate for her to turn up like this, the guys moved away from the two waitress who looked shocked but the guys looked like they saw a girl they could toy with but before they could reach about two feet from her, she had tiny sparks at her finger tips that only the group saw…

"wow not only hot but feisty it must be our lucky day" the first said Bloom never took one step back in fact her hands moved from her hips to her sides looking at her enemy which the group knew she could probably knock them out with her magic or something else "no joking she's a hot one, how could beauty like that be wasted by walking around town" the other said with creedy grins now maybe she spoke without thinking cause people stopped eating to stare at the girl who frowned "hey last time I checked this café was a food place not a chick pick up place" Bloom insulted something Irma could use in the future or Cornelia.

"well we changed it and you're our first chick to pick up" the first one said place his hand under Bloom's chin cupping it getting close to her face but before he had a chance Bloom pulled away punching him in the face then faced the other "yeah well, this chick doesn't go for poor pick up lines like that and FYI I have a BF so back off!" Bloom yelled before taking a tray then knocked the other one to the ground both had blood noses and ran out calling out "that chick is nuts" Bloom placed the tray back nodding then turned to leave before the group could call to her.

Many whispers where in the café saying 'who was that girl?' Or 'who taught her to fight like that?' or even 'wow I wish I was like her' this was not normal as Amy returned to the group taking the empties and getting the bill with a smile on her face.

"You look much happier now" Hay-Lin said

"yeah well, having a old high school girl like her come in betting the crap out of those pigs you think the same, boy she's changed" Amy was just about to leave when Will asked "changed how?"

"And what do you mean high school girl?" Caleb asked

"she was in Gardenia high for a long time and anyone who knew her well lets just say she believed that magic, fairies and things like that were real. She never once jumped to someone's rescue like that always in studying and her boyfriend hottie band player Andy. But now she totally kick butt" Amy replied walking away shacking her head as the group left to find Bloom but sadly she was gone but that did not stop the heart from glowing under Will's top.

The group turned to face her as she pulled it out her top looking at it; normally it meant a portal or evil coming through so they let the heart lead the way to the portal due to the new city and not on the map to boot. They walked in a group so no one saw the magic jewel floating up town "why here? I mean it's not even on the map so why appear here?" Cornelia was first to question

"hey maybe it wanted to change locations" Hay-Lin said without thinking before getting looks from the group "now even in meridian that sounded just dumb" Caleb said but just then the jewel pulled Will to the next corner to an ally but not until Irma noticed an ice-cream fallen and not long ago too. "You think someone came through" Taranee said

"My guess is someone went in with red hair and a gray pet rabbit" Irma said

"right most people would not notice this but Bloom knew how it looked like so she went in but dropped her ice-cream when she saw it" Matt said placing the pieces together it was not without a second when the 7 walked through and Will closed it cause the heart had the Seal of Phobos still to open portals too.

Eylon was queen and all but danger still filled the streets so rebels still needed Caleb to lead the battle and Aldran was here with Blunk so if they couldn't find Bloom Blunk or Aldran could tell which way they went.

[Meanwhile]

Bloom was glad to be way from evil from Nerissa and Shagon not too much of the Guardians, Caleb, Aldran and Matt even the toad thing Blunk or the fact she missed school for a week and the girls called but when she answered they told her of battles coming to Magix and her homework was building up.

Bloom walked along the streets of Gardenia not caring about her magic or battling all she wanted was a break, but her luck was changed when she looked at one of her favorite café to see two guys hitting on her once school mate Amy and some new chick without a second thought, she walked in like with the battle she first saved Stella again Kiko was with her standing beside her acting brave like her for he was her best friend next to Stella.

Bloom did not think well when she called the guys to lay off the girls and come try go against her no magic but more battle moves that she learnt from Alfea it was not long after they were hitting on her and she punched the first one to the ground the second she took a empty tray hitting him so hard it made blood to come out but looking at the first he too had a blood nose they ran like hell calling her nuts but before someone could thank her Bloom left with Kiko on her shoulder.

She got a ice cream sharing it with Kiko twice he had to hold his head for a brain freeze making her laugh but when she spotted something she hopped never to see her ice-cream fell in slow motion as did her face from a small laugh to just plan annoyed "give me a break" she said but something begged her to enter like she lost her control of her body as she walked through with Kiko on her shoulder still looking over a cliff side to see what looked like something in her fairy tale book.

She noticed a palace in the far distance and a village of sort; she looked at Kiko on her shoulder as he did too but jumped in her arms for protection after their last time they went in a portal only this time she looked back then forward before climbing down heading to the village admiring something Stella would say was no fun without good cloths and shops till she dropped.

But as she walked in the village she noticed people turn looking at her like she was the newest thing here well by the way they dress, she probably was due to her top that looked a lot like her first winx outfit and her skirt too but in jeans the only thing not similar was her shoes as they were yellow sandals she wore in her first year and at home most of the time her outfit was anything but proper in this world with gowns of old maidens and clocks of brown, men wore outfits of poor people she swore she saw in Erakleon maybe she was wrong.

But not only the looks of awes and horror that her cloths revealed more legs and her curves then these people have seen Stella would love this attention but to Bloom this was a freak show and they had not seen a pet rabbit due to kids staring in amazement at her holding him with ease.

But that was when she heard loud foot steps walking her way in a quick turn she saw four guards in the most strange kind of guards uniform ever they also had funny looking faces some were just plain ugly "you girl, where did you come from and why are you dressed like that?" was it an insult or a question either way it was rude.

"hey buddy, this is the latest fashion and FYI your outfit doesn't prove much guards uniform" she could see Stella saying the same thing but shock her head noticing most people backing to their homes even Kiko was shivering but Bloom only glared at them as they came towards her but stopped when they spotted someone or more then one person.

Just her luck Aldran and his men walked out telling the guards they would handle this Aldran grabbed Bloom's arm pulling her away not after she turned her head sticking her tongue out as did Kiko; the men lead her to a city under ground in green with tons of corridors, her mouth fell open in shock "Bloom how did you get here?" Aldran asked letting go of her arm.

"talk about Alfea being big with hidden doors, man if the girls could see this place, it totally be so cool for the mix year party" Bloom said looking around turning around looking at the walls the pictures and the way it looked so old fashion between Red Fountain and Cloud tower.

"This girl is the Guardian leader sister? How else would she come here but she is so strange" one of the men said Aldran turned to face them telling them to quiet but it was cut short when Caleb, Matt and the Guardians came in cheers came in the crowds but was silenced when Caleb spoke "my friend have you seen Bloom anywhere?"

"Yeah she's right here…wait where'd she go?" Aldran said in panic causing the Rebels to look around them in shock how did one girl manage to disappear so fast the rebels split up to find her as Will changed the girls and Matt too changed flying around this endless city for one girl.

"wow Kiko this place is so cool and a little creepy with all this quietness" Bloom said walking along the city with Kiko running side her she knew he agreed when they stopped looking around this dark place. She rubbed her arms for warmed and wished a bit of sun would shine on her but this place had no windows.

It wasn't like she was afraid of the dark it was more like what was hiding in the dark and the quietness was not helping due to the fact in her years of battles silence was when your enemy attacked you off guard, so she leaned her body on one of the pillars that made a noise then before her eyes a secret stair case was shown. Bloom looked down at Kiko who did too back up at her before they slowly walked down Bloom could hear water and someone was in the place too.

"How did she get away so fast Aldran?" Caleb asked Aldran running beside him with Will and Cornelia while the other Guardians followed Matt and the other rebels "she was babbling about something about a mix year and the winx when one of the rebels spoke badly of her and when you showed up, she must have took a chance to look around" Aldran replied

"Didn't you say this city was endless?" Will asked Caleb who nod "yeah and I just hope she's safe; creatures are known to live in here too" Caleb replied by his last words both Cornelia and Will stared at him shocked and thinking the worst.

"I give Bloom a high five for knocking those guys out at the café but now I don't know what to do" Irma said with both cocky and concern in her tone. "Come on keep looking she could not fly or walk too far" Taranee said even though they been here a few times it still creeped her out and Hay-Lin looked so worried but carefree at the same time flying around each pallor like practice. The Rebels were far to worried to notice the air Guardian flying like that.

Meanwell Bloom and Kiko went down the steps of this hidden place hearing sounds of water and wonderful feeling of being in such a peaceful yet misty room or whatever cave under the large city once she reached the last step she stopped looking over shoulder barely hearing voices and people running.

Bloom held her arms open to her pet so he could jump up and he did a little frightened "yeah I don't like this place either Kiko, it's way to quiet and sounds behind us are calling" Bloom spoke to pet rubbing his head taking the last step trying to see around the room but with all the mist she could swear images were appearing around her.

'Whoareyouchild?' a voice said that made Bloom step back looking around scared "who's there?"

'Youcannotbeaguardianbutyouareintherebel'scity,sotellmeyournamechild!' Bloom was stunned of this info, but even more stunned that some figure was appearing from behind the water fall, the figure was in a red robe with pale hands together in front of it slowly she removed her hood and all Bloom could do was scream backing away when she asked for her to come forth.

"hey did you hear that?" Will said as all the Guardians reunited with no luck but suddenly one of the rebels came to the group saying "someone found the mage and a loud scream was coming from it" the girls, Caleb and Matt went to the place well Aldran tried to calm the rebels down and asked how this happened.

They flew to the opening of the Mage's place and voices could be heard; so one by one they walked down the stairs to find Bloom and Kiko and the mage without her hood speaking to Bloom 'tellmeyournamechild?Iknowyouarescaredandconfused…'

"No way! After years of battles I know better then to give info out. And stop calling me child for goodness sake I'm 18 not 5 seriously!" Bloom yelled at the mage shacking her head with fists on both sides well Kiko stood beside her frowning at the mage too. The group came down the last step shocked at how Bloom cut the Mage off like that mostly Caleb because no one ever dared to yell or question the Mage let alone back talk the Mage like that who seem equally disturbed.

'Youareapowerfulyounggirltostandupagainstme!Butyouareafraidofsomethingthatkeepsyoufrombattling' for a few seconds silence stood in the misty room with Bloom hanging her head her pet looked up at her as for the gang they walked just a few feet from her but stopped when Kiko looked up at them and the Mage spoke once more 'IcantellbyyoursilenceyouareworriedthatifyoufoughtNerissaorShagonyoumightfallforatraporisityourpastencounterswithvillainsthatfrightensyouyouarenomeregirlwithproblems,youlostsomethingthatyouareafraidyoumightnotfind'

The guys and the Guardians heard this thinking if this was the true reason…by the way her body began to shack like a leaf and was it tears falling down her cheeks that her pet looked up looking at her with sad eyes like he knew what the mage was talking about;

"you have no right telling me what I'm feeling!...you don't know me, don't dare tell me of my past or how I should fight cause you are playing with fire that could kill you! I may be a fairy hell I may be the last princess of a dead planet but you don't mess with things you don't understand!" Bloom yelled at the Mage with fists with flames as well as her body glowing in anger and her head slowly lifting even her pet stepped back holding his tiny hands together close to his face his ears dropped to the ground in fear.

The group were to shocked to move but when they realized she was transforming it was only then the mage saw the true woman this girl was perfectly held her composure when she frowned at the Mage saying "you are not the person who destroyed my life or broke whatever hope of finding them so I don't care what you say just don't tell me I'm not fighting for those reasons cause you are wrong…come on Kiko we have to go home" Bloom said turning to see the group but only picked up her pet then pushed past them not wanting to see her tears.

The Mage had went back inside then the girls took one glace at the waterfall before following Matt and Caleb only wondering how things came to this? Why did Bloom speak so dark, so full of hurt and anger? When they reached the top of the stairs Caleb closed the door then they went to where the group of Rebels and Aldran who closed a door to the plans room while the other Rebels remain silent sitting around not even looking up at the Guardians or Matt; "who died?" Irma said only to make it sound a joke but Cornelia jabbed her elbow in Irma's side while Aldran gave her a cold look.

"Geez I was just trying to cheer up the mood" Irma said defense placing her hands in the air "well angel in blue is not in the mood in fact she is in tears on her knees, she asked to be left alone" one of the Rebels said

"Can I go and talk with her?" Matt asked

"ok, but if you end up flying out the door burnt don't say I didn't warn you" Aldran said opening the door while Matt gave Will's hand a squeeze before letting go walking in the room closing the door behind him again silence took over. The girls sat down in a circle looking at the faces of the rebels while Caleb told Aldran about what happened and Will just kept her eyes on the door wondering what was happening.

"hey he will be ok Will, I dough Bloom would send him flying through the door" Cornelia said placing her hand on her red head friend's shoulder smiling but deep down she was lying about what she said "I know Corny…but after how she spoke to the Mage I think she lost trust in anyone" Will replied

"I agree with Will; I mean did you see her stone cold eyes it reminds me of Phobos last year" Irma said closing her eyes pointing out a fact "but her pet looked like he knew what they were talking about, Bloom did say he was a Pixie pet who can feel his bounded fairy in this case Bloom" Taranee added

"This silence is like being in a grave yard" Hay-Lin said the girls looked at her but could not deny that a grave yard or just water was much louder then this eerie silence with glances at each other but Will went back to staring at the door.

Meanwell

Bloom sat on the ground near the wall hugging her knees half her face under her arm only her tear eyes waiting for fresh tears to come while Kiko lay on her head in comfort or to just telling her, she wasn't alone when the door opened and sneakers walked towards her then kneeled in front of her when her eyes met dark blue orbs and a kind smile before she knew it arms hugged her and her body went numb. "You wanna talk about it?" he asked

"but if you don't then let me join you cause believe it or not I felt like Nerissa had hold of me Shagon took over my body and lived my life almost killing Will at time to time and yet I still feel like I don't deserve her love but it was our love who kept me from giving up" Matt said sitting next to Bloom with his knees up to his chest laying on them with his head rest on his arms.

Bloom looked to him taking in what he said before their eyes met light blue met dark blue in a long minute trying to understand one another "I'm not afraid to fight Matt…but I am afraid that my loved ones will pay for not facing my enemy or giving them what they wanted…I was a baby when Baltor and the enchant witches destroyed my people my parents only my sister managed to save me by sending to earth before she was destroyed leaving me the clown to a ice planet which I would never know"

"so you grew up knowing nothing about magic but in fairy tales [Bloom nod] hey we can help you fight Nerissa but it is only up to you if you plan to save your parent now, looks to me like the winx would die for you before someone hurts you by the look on Sky's face on Sparks when you were out, he looked liked he lost his whole world and the winx refuse to look at you to see their leader and friend fallen." Matt told her as he got up dusting himself off ready to leave when a hand gripped his wrist causing him to turn to face a confused fairy with one hand gripping his wrist while the other held Kiko who looked up between each other.

"Matt…I need a friend now could you…could you stay by me for a while then ask Will to take me home again" Bloom said as her hair cover her eyes when her head dropped slightly her fairy form faded leaving her in that cute outfit she wore earlier; Matt took this in not thinking she would want his company but smile "sure" then both went to sit on the bed on the side of the room her head rest on his shoulder rubbing Kiko's sleepy body curled on her lap while he looked at her smiling.

"He's a cleaver bunny in fact he acts like he understands you" Matt broke the silence

"Yeah, he is more then my pet he is my closest friend next to Stella but what you said about Sky and the girls did they really…"

"trust me, Sky was in tears even Riven who found you looked like he lost a friend but held Musa close cause she was in tears like everyone" Matt said recalling the event rubbing his one hand which wrapped around her shoulder but when he noticed her hand stopped moving and her head fell against his chest meaning she fell asleep.

Outside

Will couldn't take it anymore so she got up knocking the Guardians out their thoughts even Caleb and Aldran noticed her walk up to the door then slowly opened door when Irma, Cornelia, Taranee and Hay-Lin stopped behind her at the scene before them there was matt sitting on the bed at the end of the room with Bloom resting on his chest with his arm around her shoulder while bloom rest her head on his chest with one hand Kiko's back with a tear stain face but her face was still in unease.

"Hey did you put her to sleep Matt or did you use your power to pass out?" Cornelia said with hands on her hips as the girls came in Will was not mad at Matt comforting the poor fairy but when he looked at Cornelia something in that look told her to shut up. "Ok, ok what happened?" Cornelia said when the girls grabbed seats sitting down around the table while he began to explained their little talk and how he told her how scared he was when Nerissa and Shagon had hold of him causing Will to frown remembering all those times.

Aldran and Caleb came in while the rebels went back to their jobs closing the door listening to Matt "she told me she wasn't afraid to fight the battle but it was her family and friends that would pay for her mistakes or not giving the enemy what he wanted… she told me her story of how her kingdom was destroyed and her people her family only her sister saved her by sending to earth before she too was destroyed now Bloom believes that she might not save what she lost all those years ago"

"It sounds like something like Elyon's life" Cornelia said

"Yeah but Eylon had parents from meridian Bloom had no one left of her family or anything of her planet left to fix up" Will corrected suddenly the fairy woke up when she realized she fell asleep on Matt that she quickly moved away from him almost knocking Kiko over

"Oh gosh! I totally fell asleep on you Matt…sorry I just…um I mean please forget this ever happened or tell Sky he would be super mad at me!" at this time she began to blush while the gang just laughed at her Kiko woke up the sat on her shoulder confused.

"Nah its cool, I mean you were probably tired after everything that happened so it's cool" Matt said surprising her when she looked to Kiko who did the same like earlier this again showed how close they were to think the same without words. "I guess we should take you home huh" Caleb said standing beside Will and Irma smiling followed by the others which Bloom could only smile back thinking maybe it was time to fight the fight to save world again.

Nerissa and her crew would have to face a strong team by two worlds and that only give her hope of maybe it was not by chance the winx found the Guardians but maybe it was like fate took control to help one another in all different ways. Yes that was it and she was glad to met such wonderful people like them and never regretted meeting them even if Nerissa had her eyes on the power she had it was not the first someone wanted it and for once Bloom could careless.

To be continued…
