Hopefully only one more chapter to go! Or if it's long, two! Finally, almost finished the first story I started! And I'm thrilled that you all love my work. I will definitely be carrying on!
Thanks for all the reviews, hope you enjoy!
Stella POV
I wandered into the kitchen still half asleep from being so late up last night.
Why did I even get up in the first place? Oh, right! Coffee! The only thing to wake me up.
Bloom, Flora, Layla and Tecna were already there all with slightly messy hair and ruffled pajamas. Musa must still be in bed.
"Even though she's the fairy of the shining sun, doesn't mean she wakes up with it!" Layla noted with a smile as she saw me wander in.
"Yeah well I'm more of a night person. Rather like the moon. Even though I use more of my sun based power inherited by my dad, personally I prefer to stay up late into the night, like my mom used to."
"Well at least you're here, because we've got something for Musa." Tecna said.
"A dare?"
"No, a truth." Bloom winked handing me a mug of coffee.
"Say what? This is gonna be no fun!" I moaned.
"Ah but it will!" Bloom smiled mischievously, then she told me Musa's truth. The catch was that if it was true, you had to prove it was by doing it. Whether it being you have snogged a boy with tongues (which I have) or can speak to chickens, they had to prove it, in front of us too so we knew it was.
"Sounds like fun!"
"Yeah. But we want her to do it in front of a public audience and the Specialists. So we thought, the restaurant downstairs." Layla frowned. Flora carried on for her.
"But we don't know if the Specialists will be going so…seeing as you're confident enough to, you know?"
"You want me to go persuade them to eat breakfast at the restaurant, like us right?" They all nodded. I sighed deeply. "Fine. But only if each of you pay me fifty bucks for it. After all you made me go through so much trauma."
Knowing I wasn't gonna do it unless they gave in, they agreed to pay me fifty bucks each after wards. That meant two hundred bucks altogether, all to just knock on the boys door and ask them an innocent question. Ka-ching!
I walked down the corridor towards the boy's dorms and memories started returning. I self-consciously looked down at my clothing, thanked to see that I was still wearing my pj's, a tight white, strap sleeved top and blue elasticated shorts (hot pants really). Not as bad as a towel, but the top still showed a lot of cleavage.
Reaching the door, I knocked on it four times and then stood there and waited until someone answered.
Brandon POV
I came out of my room and into the main room only to find the place a tip from last night. Or is it this morning? Can't tell when you're living with these guys, everything looks the same
I only wore my boxers as I couldn't be bothered to put my top on. I was just in a lazy mood today.
Knock, knock, knock, knock
"Oi, Brandon. Answer that would ya?" Sky called from his room.
"Why don't you?"
"I'm getting changed, Nabu's in the shower, Riven's in the toilet, Helia's still asleep and Timmy is doing something important. You're the only one free!"
"Fine. I'll answer it!" I yelled at him. Why can't they all just get off their lazy assess and open a door? Simple really.
I reached the door and opened it, only to find none other than Stella standing there. I've avoided her all this time and now I'm stuck! Just my crappy luck.
"Uhhh." That was all I managed to say. All I could do was stare.
"Two hundred bucks please." She said, obviously zoned out herself.
"What?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. That was meant for the girls. Now-whoa! OK, I knew you had a six pack but, wow!" She'd noticed I wasn't wearing a top and now was having a hard time keeping her eyes off me.
"So, what were you going to say?" I asked bringing her back to the present.
"Hm? Oh, yes! Are you going to have breakfast down at the restaurant?
"Well, we didn't have anything planned, why?"
"Because the girls and I are going down there to eat and we were wondering if you was going to do the same?"
"I guess we could go down there? I don't see why not."
She yawned then and stretched with her arms above her head. That made me look even more. Second time now since this vacation started, and I was never this drawn to her before.
"OK. That's all really. Just wanted to know." She shrugged and ran her hand through her long golden hair, making it fall in strands over her shoulders and face. It made my mind start to picture… You're the one half naked here, idiot, not her! Besides, she's managed to control herself, unlike you!
"Right, I'm just gonna go." She said, and walked back down the corridor. I shut the door behind me and found all the guys up and in the kitchen.
"Who was it?" Riven asked.
"Stella."
They all pulled faces that told me they were trying not to laugh.
"You mean to tell us that you just stood at the door talking to Stella without anything happening?" Helia persisted.
"Uh, yeah." I lied
Riven opened his mouth. "You sure? It must have been hard trying to get through a conversation with her, let alone look at her." He joked, emphasizing one of the words.
"I'm sure Riven! Nothing came up in that conversation that was hard to handle!"
"I see what you did there!" He winked at the others and they all grinned. Fucking morons.
"Anyway, she said they're all heading down to the restaurant for breakfast downstairs. Shall we go to?"
"Sure!" Sky smiled. "It's a change."
After that, everything went fine. No more mention on Stella and anything crude. The only thing I'd never mention to them though is that the minute I saw her, I'd noticed immediately that her top was quite low cut…
Stella POV
"Money please?" I yelled, wandering through the door. All the girls came in (Musa was awake now) and Bloom, Flora, Layla and Tecna reluctantly handed me fifty bucks each.
"Bye, bye fifty smackers." Layla said, sadly. "I'll miss you."
"What?! Stella gets fifty bucks from each of you? What did she blackmail you now?" Musa asked stunned.
"No time to explain it's your turn!" Bloom announced, sitting her down by her shoulders.
"What about the app?"
"Screw the app. There's only two of you left to play and you're next! Doing truth!"
"I thought I could choose?!" The poor girl was so confused.
"We've had too many dares already and we need to find out something!" Flora said sitting down next to her.
"OK. What's my truth?" Musa asked, kinda concerned.
"Well, you know the music video to Chandelier by Sia?" Layla edged closer to her.
"Yeah seen it over a thousand times!" Musa rolled her eyes.
"Well you know that dancer girl? Is it true you can dance just like that? Cause we know you can sing but…?"
"Yeah, I can dance it." She shrugged. "So is that it?"
"Well Musa, you need to prove it. So when we go to the restaurant downstairs, we want you to perform the dance." I said sweetly.
"What? Proving it?"
"Just so we know you can do it!" Tecna smiled. "Oh and the Specialists will be there so…"
"You're gonna make me look like a fool?"
"No! People will love you! And it's only this one time." It was Bloom's turn to smile.
Musa bit her lip. "Maybe."
In the end we forced her to agree by blackmailing her (Sending a drunk photo of her and some random guy of the street to Riven. (A night out in Magix on New Years Eve))
We traipsed down to the restaurant. The boys already had a table of their own, so we found one near theirs and got Musa ready.
"I swear this is worse than any of your dares!" She spat.
"No, not really."
Layla told her the music was ready and Musa got up and walked to the center of the room. On her way there, she glanced back at us. We were all smiling like the angels we were, although to Musa, we were the devils' minions.
Riven POV
After some quick rushing about, we'd all made it to the restaurant and bagged a corner table.
"Brandon, I thought you said the girls were coming?" Nabu asked him as we all sat down.
"They will. They're probably still getting ready?"
After a few minutes of looking at the menu, a waiter came over and asked for what we wanted.
Me and Nabu ordered a bacon and egg sandwich, Helia ordered fried egg on toast, Timmy ordered croissant and Sky and Brandon ordered fry up. We each had a strong coffee to go with it, well, all except Timmy, who had a tea.
The guy said it should be fifteen minutes, and left. Five minutes later, the Winx arrived and grabbed a table near ours.
Something was up though. They all looked too giggly and Musa looked a mix between pissed off and nervous.
"What's going on now?" Helia mumbled as we all kept a close eye on them.
Coming here now felt planned instead of casual.
Musa suddenly got up and walked to the center of the room. Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched intrigued, especially us.
Music then started playing. Soft at first, but then got louder and Musa started to sway. The song soon became clear and quickly everyone twigged what was actually happening.
Chandelier -Sia
Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will I learn
I push it down, push it down
I'm the one "for a good time call"
Phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love
1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 drink
1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 drink
1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 drink
Throw 'em back, till I lose count
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
Sun is up, I'm a mess
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 drink
1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 drink
1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 drink
Throw 'em back till I lose count
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
All the guys stared with our mouths open. Who the hell would come in here and expect to see that? Just shows how gullible we really are.
Musa ran to the girls, probably yelled trash to them and left. The others quickly followed.
"So, we just got set up." Timmy concluded. We all looked at Brandon.
"What?! I had no fucking idea this was going to happen, don't blame it on me!"
We looked at each other quizzically.
"I dunno. He could have been zoned out?" I shrugged. "After all he could have been staring at her-"
"Don't say it!" He threatened. If he thought that was all over it wasn't!
Our food came quickly after that and we forced it down before leaving to get to the girls room.
"You got them Timmy?" Sky whispered as we were round the corner.
"Yep. Just be careful! Don't, under any circumstances, don't get seen!" He handed him and Brandon an earpiece and they placed it in their ear.
Timmy then turned to us. "Helia, you know what to do?"
"Stand guard by the door."
"Uh-huh. And you Riven and Nabu, you are standing guard in the corridor a bit further along."
"Yeah, we know!"
"Guys, just don't get into any stupid fights! Or you'll ruin everything!" Sky glared at us like he meant business. (Which he did)
We obediently nodded. Obediently? We're not dogs!
"OK, great. Everyone knows their positions! I'll be in our room at the control panel."
Ha! Control panel! He really means his laptop with a digital map of the girls' suit.
We all got into our places. Brandon and Sky managed to get into their suit because the door was slightly ajar, but they closed it fully afterwards.
The plan was this. Sky and Brandon would be hiding in the girls' suit, getting any info they could on what they were up to. They would then contact Timmy on any info they had found, but also be able to contact us if they were coming our way and vice versa.
Helia was right outside the door standing guard, whilst me and Nabu were a little further along the corridor also standing guard, in case one wasn't there and we had to warn Brandon and Sky. Pointless really. Why wouldn't they all be together?
Then finally Timmy. Earlier on, he had sent a nano-bug in, to get a map of their room. He then converted it onto his laptop, and now has a digital blue print of it, with colored dots signifying the girl's movement and the guys.
If we got enough info to conclude they were definitely up to something, or something surprising came up, we would all rush into the room (except for Brandon and Sky who are already there) and confront them red handed, forcing them to tell us what's going on.
It was good, I guess. Not sure if it will work but you can always count on Timmy!
All I knew is that there was one girl left and that meant we had only one chance. One chance to get this right, or one chance to get this wrong.
At the end of Brandon's POV, I made a joke. It's really bad I know! And you've got to understand really what they mean...
But apart from my crap attempt at that, it's OK.
