Author's note:

Okay so here's another chapter, sorry for the wait, but my computer crashed and I had to borrow my sisters, but she's a little um . . . protective, when it comes to her things. Anyway, hope you all enjoy!


Chapter 11

The next day

Morgana was busy reading Violet a story book, while Nebula silently watched from the door, a smile playing on her face. Neither of the fairies seated on the bed had noticed her presence until an Earth Guard Fairy came flying in.

"Your, Highness" The Fairy said bowing to Nebula before flying over to Morgana. "Sorry to interrupt my lady, but you have a meeting with Lady Aurora?" The Guard Fairy reminded.

"Oh, sorry I hadn't heard you come in . . . and yes, that's right, I suppose I do. Um, I'm afraid my meeting can't wait, can Nebula finish reading to you, or do you want me to finish reading to you tonight?"

Morgana asked looking to the small fairy beside her. "It's okay; I like it when Miss Nebula reads to me . . . she makes funny faces." Violet giggled while a slight blush crept upon the Earth Fairy Queen's face.

"Yes well, I was trying to make it . . . interesting . . ." Nebula said sounding almost embarrassed, while Morgana smiled shaking her head in amusement. "Well then I'll leave you to it."

Morgana chuckled handing the book to Nebula as she got off the bed. "Don't make the story too interesting for her." Morgana whispered to Nebula with a knowing look, before disappearing.

"Oh, so I make funny faces, do I?" Nebula asked with a smile walking over to the giggling Violet after she was sure Morgana was out of ear-shot, "Uh-huh, Especially when you do the witches."

Violet nodded giggling, while watching Nebula sit down next to her on the bed, "Alright then you little rascal, where did you two leave off, so that I can start making funny faces again?"

Nebula asked with an amused smile while opening the book. "The part where the princess was facing off against the three witches while the prince attacked them from behind."

Violet said showing Nebula the page. Nebula nodded with a smile and started reading.

An Hour Later

Nebula was almost finished reading the story to Violet before Faragonda and the Winx came in. "Roxy!" Violet screamed and hugged the fairy when she was near the bed.

"Hallo Violet, good to see you too." Roxy said smiling while hugging Violet. "Why hallo there Violet, it's good to see that you're awake and healthy." Faragonda said as she came closer to the bed.

"Yes Violet, we're so glad that you're okay and you know what? We've brought you a few things that we think you might like." Bloom said waving her hand (that was surrounded by magic) in a circle a few times.

Then before Violet's eyes Butterflies started to fly all around the room and then some coloring books, crayons, pencils, pens, papers and all kinds of stationary appeared on the bed.

Violet looked at all the things and then at Nebula. "Um . . . what am I suppose to do with these?" Violet asked at Nebula before everyone's (except Nebula, Roxy and Faragonda's) jaws fell wide open.

"You use the coloring pens to color in the pages of the coloring books. Here try it." Nebula said putting down the story book and giving Violet the coloring book and a pack of crayons.

Violet did as she was instructed and was coloring in the pages quite beautifully for someone who just started coloring. "This is fun!" Violet said as she colored in a butterfly, but to everyone's amazement she didn't color it black, purple or red like all the other pictured, but she colored the butterfly blue.

"Violet, if black, red and purple, are your favorite colors, why did you color the butterfly blue?" Flora asked as she looked at the small girl who colored half the coloring book like an expert in but mere minutes since she learned how to color.

Then to everyone's surprise she tore out the page with the blue butterfly before looking at Flora. "Because I like blue too and because blue is Nebula's favorite color and this butterfly is for her." Violet said handing Nebula the page.

"That's so sweet, thank you." Nebula said giving Violet a hug. If Nebula should say so herself, it seems that Violet was a fast learner because she had colored the butterfly like an artist would one of his paintings.

"I see, but why the butterfly when there are so many other beautiful pictures that you could have given her?" Tecna asked confused.

"I gave her the butterfly, because Nebula's wings look like butterfly wings and because everyone likes butterflies." Violet answered in an 'as a matter of fact' way.

"She's got you there, Tecna." Aisha said chuckling at Tecna's 'oh' expression. "I think I've colored enough for now. Miss Nebula can you please finish reading the story for me?"

Violet asked putting away the coloring book, not even bothering to look at the other arts and crafts things that the Winx had brought.

"Of course, but first . . . there's something else we have for you." Nebula said motioning to Roxy who made a small black, purple and blue box; with a red ribbon appear, before handing it to Nebula.

"We were planning on giving it to you a little later, but now's about as good of a time as any." Nebula said handing Violet the box, "A present . . . for . . . for me?"

Violet asked as she took the box. "Roxy, Morgana and I wanted to give you something special." Nebula nodded with a smile. Violet slowly undid the bow on the box and carefully pulled off the raping paper before opening the lid.

As Violet looked inside the box her eyes got wide and she took out three things: first, a blue stuffed toy butterfly which Violet squeezed tightly and held in her arms lovingly.

The second, a book with a blue butterfly cover which she stared at in awe, slowly running her hand over the cover before gently placing it down next to the box and the third is an enchanted locket that played a soft lullaby when opened.

Violet looked at all the thing and turned around, attacking Roxy and Nebula with hugs, nearly tackling the poor Animal Fairy to the ground, but Roxy just laughed.

"Thank you!" Violet said hugging Roxy and Nebula tightly. "Violet, do you like story books?" Bloom asked as she put all the things that the Winx had brought into the bedside cabinet.

Violet let go of the two Earth Fairies before facing Bloom and nodding continuously. "Yes, I love story books. Miss Nebula or Miss Morgana reads one to me every night and sometimes Miss Nebula would teach me how to read some things before she reads the book to me.

Oh, Miss Nebula, can you please read this one to me tonight?" Violet asked showing Nebula the blue butterfly cover book.

"I don't see why not, but we'd have to ask Morgana if it's okay with her and besides don't you think that you should get a bit of rest before you and Roxy go on your picnic?"

Nebula asked taking the book from the small girl and placing it on the cabinet. "Wait you're not coming with us?" Violet answered as she froze from starting to get under the covers.

"I have to take care of a few things first, but I'll join you later." Nebula said handing Violet her butterfly toy "Promise?" Violet asked as she got under the covers.

"I promise . . . now get some sleep, the picnic is going to be very fun." Nebula said tucking Violet in and then flying to the door with a smile, waiting for everyone else.

Soon everyone left the room so that Violet could sleep. After the Winx where outside Violet's room they started to walk to their dorm, Nebula and Roxy having headed in another direction.

"You know, Violet seems pretty close to Nebula." Stella said breaking the silence. "Yeah, but isn't it a good thing? I mean Nebula obviously cares about her and she could do with a little love and care."

Bloom said looking where she's going. "Yeah, but don't you think it's a bit strange, I mean WE where the first ones she met and we all know that she's very close to Roxy, but when Nebula came into the picture; we were frown completely out!

I mean she didn't even look at the other things we brought for her." Stella said with crossed arms as she looked at Bloom. "I understand Stella, but remember Nebula saved her life . . . twice.

So Violet probably just feels safer around Nebula and besides, Roxy's like a big sister to her. She trusts them." Bloom said making a point.

"And you have to give Nebula credit Stella, she's been helping Morgana take care of Violet for the last past few days and a mother-figure or two is exactly what Violet needs right now."

Flora said pointing out that little detail. "I agree, but why hasn't Miss Faragonda called Violet's real parents yet? I mean unless her parents are dead or they're trapped or are already here, which I highly doubt because we would have been told if that were the case.

But shouldn't Miss Faragonda have called them by now? After all, Flora's right, Violet needs her parents, but all I'm seeing are loads of Earth Fairies taking care of her, no offence to Roxy." Stella said pointing out her view of things.

"Yeah Stella's right . . . maybe we should go ask Miss Faragonda why she hasn't called yet and then maybe we can help Violet!" Bloom said still looking in front of her. "Yeah let's do it!" Musa said throwing her fist in the air.

"I agree." Aisha said while Bloom looked at the others. "We're one hundred percent with you." Tecna said happily.

"Well then, to Miss Faragonda's office." Bloom said as they all turned around and headed into the direction of Faragonda's (very pink) office.
