The school year went by fast. Bloom still hadn't made her choice yet, and both Drew and Sky were devastated. Bloom had gone on a few dates with Sky, and a few dates like Drew, just as Veronica had predicted. The poor Winx Girls were getting work poured on them, since they were in their junior year.
The Winx girls were currently sitting in the park with their boyfriends. Drew was taking a small walk, Musa was singing a song to Riven, Veronica was working on her Enchantix powers with Chad, Layla and Nabu were dancing to songs, Helia was making portraits of Flora and the scenery behind her, Timmy and Tecna were discussing their latest inventions, Stella and Brandon were talking about random things by the sparkling lake, and Bloom and Sky were talking on the picnic blanket that was set up.
"Yea, work has been pretty hard these past few weeks. But I'm glad that I'm with you right now," Bloom said, blushing heavily. Sky grinned like a fool as he chucked a grape at Bloom. She giggled and threw a grape at him. They were throwing food at each other and laughing like crazy. Bloom kissed Sky's cheek and walked over to Veronica.
"Ronnie? Who's Melanie?" she asked, and the whole park quieted down. Veronica looked up, startled.
"How do you know about her?" she questioned sharply. Bloom looked down, intimidated.
"I heard you talking about her to Drew," she squeaked out. Veronica groaned.
"Oh, all right. But this is extremely awkward. So, here goes. Before Chad, Drew, and I came to Magix, we used to live in Terrestria. We played at my palace garden; I was the princess of Terrestria, Drew was the son of the duke, and Chad was the son of the ambassador of Terrestria. There, we met Melanie, who was the daughter of a pauper. Melanie was this amazing girl; bright, cheerful, always looking at the better side of things when all hope was lost. She and Drew used to sneak out of the palace grounds to see each other. Of course, Chad and I knew about it, and we supported it. They were an amazing couple, and she was his first love.
"But one day, Uncle Jeremy, the ambassador, was taking a midnight stroll, and saw Melanie and Drew. He was outraged since he didn't want Drew to be with a poorer person, someone who was lower on the social pyramid than us. He demanded that Drew break up with her, and forget all about her. Drew loved her a lot and refused. So Uncle Jeremy took her in as prisoner. Drew went down every night just to see her and talk to her. Finally, Uncle Jeremy persuaded my father that Drew should punished the worst way possible. H-he took Melanie to court a-and the judge sentenced her to death.
"Drew tried to object, but it was no use. His father wouldn't give in. Drew cursed at his father, and Uncle Jeremy slapped him. This was in the middle of the court room, and the judge saw this, and sentenced him to death also since abusing is against the law. So on Drew's birthday, Drew was held against his will and was forced to watch his Melanie and his father be killed.
"Drew then became the duke, since his father was killed. So there you have it. That's Drew's darkest secret and story." Veronica concluded, wiping away stray tears from her cheek.
Suddenly, a bright light glowed and a girl appeared. She was as tall as Musa and had pin straight dirty blonde hair with black highlights. She was wearing her Winx outfit: a crystal colored sarong that connected to her mini skirt, along with sandals and two bracelets with different rocks on it.
"H-help!" she cried weakly. Everyone ran over to see this strange girl.
"Who are you?" Ronnie asked softly, stroking the girl's hair. The girl looked up, with sparkling blue eyes.
"Princess Veronica of Terrestria, I am Ruby of Terrestria. I fear our realm is in grave danger," she rasped, and fainted. Chad, Ronnie, and Drew looked at each other in horror. Ronnie gently placed Ruby down and quickly found a boulder.
"I, Princess Veronica of Terrestria, am the direct descendent of King Terrestria himself. Show me the realm of Terrestria!" she cried.
The rock began to glow and a sort of portal thing appeared. It showed Stormy, Icy, and Darcy laughing maliciously while throwing lightning bolts, ice blizzards, and purple energy waves everywhere. The people of Terrestria were screaming and everyone was running to their homes to save all their precious items. Children were clinging to their parents for their dear lives, and the King and Queen were back-to-back, throwing all the magic they had at the Trix. The grasses and plants were wilting and the ground was beginning to tremor and shake as a crack formed, splitting the whole realm into two.
Veronica made a hand motion and the portal thing disappeared. She turned to look at her two best guy friends and Ruby. "We have to go," she said, stepping closer, and holding out her hands.
"Don't forget, we'll have to go alone," Drew said, clasping one of his hands in Veronica's hand.
"We're going to save Terrestria, together." Chad continued, taking Ronnie's hand.
"And we're not going down without a fight!" Ruby concluded, taking Chad's and Veronica's hands. They stood together as Veronica chanted a transporting spell, taking them to Terrestria.
"Oh, I hope they're ok!" Flora exclaimed worriedly. Veronica, Drew, Chad, and Ruby had all gone back to Terrestria to save it from total destruction. Stella patted the brunette's hand.
"Don't worry Flo! I'm positive that they're going to save Terrestria and come back to us safe and sound!" she said determinedly. Bloom walked in and saw Flora near tears. She ran and hugged the sensitive fairy.
"Stella's right Flora! Just you wait and see. Veronica, Chad, Ruby, and Drew are going to save Terrestria, and then we'll have a big party." The fire fairy declared as she turned to Tecna. "Can you try to pinpoint their location?" she questioned, hope filling her voice.
"I'll try," Tecna said. "but I can't make any promises.". Tecna opened her portable computer and typed the code in. She let out one of her digi bugs and let it fly. "We'll just have to wait until it gets to Terrestria. Then, it has to come back and give me the data. Only then can I try to find out what's going on." Tecna sighed, her shoulders sagging and her head hanging down.
"It's not your fault Tecna! You're trying your best, and that's what matters. Now, let's try to do something fun so we can distract ourselves," she said, already running towards her stereo and putting some hot tunes on. "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!"
