Chapter 21
Stella was lying on her bed, surrounded by used tissues, boxes of tissues, some medicine on her bed table and lots and lots of burnt fabrics.
-Guys?-she didn't get an answer-Guys!
Bloom entered the room, hiding behind a metal bowl.
-Yes?
-Can I get a glass of water?-asked Stella.
-Uh-uh.-Bloom cautiously went to Stella's bedside table and lifted the empty glass with her gloves.
-This is not such a big deal you…..Achoo!-Stella sneezed, putting the curtain on fire.
Bloom put out the fire with her water powers.
-That could've been me!-she exited the room.
-How'd it go?-asked Layla when Bloom exited the room.
-Good.-said Bloom-She set the curtain on fire.
-What if Miss G. comes and sees that, what are we going to say?-asked Layla.
-I don't know but we're definitely getting detention.-said Bloom-Or at least Stella is.
-Too bad it's only the two of us.-said Layla-Some ice powers really would've helped with Stella.
-Well, you know how Tecna is when it comes to exams, and also when she drags the others to study with her.-said Bloom.
Layla nodded.
…
Tecna, Timmy, Bloom and Flora were walking down the hall to the cafeteria.
-How are things with Stella?-asked Timmy.
-Well, there is something we didn't expect, but should've.-said Tecna-Her powers are kind of out of control.
-I guess it will be over with the cold.-said Timmy.
-You're kidding right?-said Flora-What happened with all the scientific curiosity? I thought you'll at least want to dissect Stella!
-I'm just not that into it now.-said Timmy as he walked away.
-What was that all about?-asked Bloom.
-No idea.-said Tecna-But if Timmy doesn't want to do science than something is really wrong.
Layla and Musa joined them.
-Hey what's up?-asked Musa.
-Timmy hates science.-said Bloom.
-Am I in a parallel universe?-asked Musa.
-No Musa you'r-Achoo!-Bloom sneezed and the water pipes above them broke, spraying them with water.
They ran to the closest bathroom and locked the door.
-Hello? Who's there, I can't open my door!-said someone from a bathroom stall.
The girls kept quiet while Musa was slowly drying them.
They transformed back and an older lady showed up from the stall.
-Did you girls have something to do with my door?-she asked.
-What? No, we just got here.-said Tecna.
-So, what's your name?-asked Bloom.
-I am Mrs. Dursley.-she said-I was told that one of my friends works here, so I came to pay her a visit.
-Oh well, nice to meet you.-said Flora.
-Maybe you we could tell you where her office is?-said Tecna.
-Oh no, that's alright, I'll find it myself.-she said-Have a nice day girls.-she was about to exit but stopped in her tracks-You three-she pointed at Musa, Layla and Tecna-Where did you get those rings from?
-Oh, uh we bought them.-said Tecna-A long time ago.
-Can I see them?-she asked.
They showed her the rings.
-What if i…pay you to give me the rings?-she asked.
-Sorry, but they mean a lot to us.-said Bloom.
-All of you?-she asked.
-Well, we all like them.-said Bloom.
-Very well. Let me know if you change your mind.-she exited the bathroom.
-Do you think she was onto us?-asked Layla.
-No, how could she?-said Tecna.
Bloom sneezed and water from the sinks came and sprayed them.
-Bloom!-they said as they fell on the floor in mermaid form.
-Maybe I should go back to our dorm and stay with Stella.-said Bloom.
…..
The girls went to Miss Ofelia's office and told her about the lady from the bathroom and about what happened with Bloom and Stella.
-Well, Timmy came to my office the other day and he told me his suspicions about the frozen café incident. He was right.-said Miss Ofelia-But, I told him that not everything has something to do with science.
-So what is the point of the rings?-asked Layla.
-Well you see the rings control your powers. If you learn how to control your ring, you will truly master your powers and you may even make them stronger or get new ones. Every color of gem represents a power, the red one is heat, the white one is ice and the blue one is water. They only work for the mermaid with that power, for instance if Tecna puts on a ring with a red gem, it won't work, but if she puts on a ring with a white gem, them it will. If Stella and Bloom had rings, they would be able to control their powers when they're sick. Like you three could, but remember, if you want to have full control you need to practice!-Miss Ofelia took off her ring-I don't think I will need this anymore, Flora dear, would you like to have it?
-Ok.-said Flora as Miss Ofelia put the ring on her finger-Thnaks.
There was a knock on the door.
-Come in.-said Miss Ofelia.
The old lady from that morning came in.
-Mrs. Dursley.-said Musa.
-Oh, you girls.-she said-Have you considered my offer?
-We already told you that we won't sell them.-said Layla.
-Nancy, is that you?-asked Miss Ofelia.
-Ah, Header!-they hugged-After all these years!
-How's the family?-asked Miss Ofelia.
-They're great! How are you?-asked Mrs. Dursley.
-Wonderful.-said Miss Ofelia-These are some of the students. In fact these four and their two other friends are my favorite. Really nice girls.
-Header, they have three of the rings!-she whispered.
-Don't worry. They know.-said Miss Ofelia.
-You told them!?-asked Mrs. Dursley.
-Actually, we kind of found out ourselves.-said Musa.
-How?-she asked-We don't have our powers anymore!
-Well you could say that we know from experience.-said Tecna.
-Wha…You girls?-she asked.
-Uh-uh, and two more, they're sick at the moment and our room is either on fire or drowned.-said Tecna.
-Haha, you remind me of us when we were your age.-said Mrs. Dursley.
They stayed in Miss Ofelia's office the entire break.
The girls had to get going so they can get to class before the bell rings.
-Girls, I'm sorry about the rings.-said Mrs. Dursley-Here.-she gave them her ring-You will need it more than me. Give it to your friend.
-Thank you.-said Flora.
-Good bye girls and good luck!-said Mrs. Dursley.
-Goodbye!-said Miss Ofelia-Say hello to Bloom and Stella for me!
-We will, goodbye!-the girls left for class.
…..
The girls told Bloom, Stella and Timmy what happened and about the rings and gave Stella the ring. Luckily, Bloom and Stella were feeling better, but the others still kept their distance in case they somehow blast something at them.
Timmy and Tecna were having a date on the beach at their secret mermaid spot.
-Spill.-said Tecna-Why were you not into science?
-Miss Ofelia told me it's not all about science, and to me it sounded like she's saying that I don't help you girls and I'm trying too hard for nothing.-said Timmy.
-Timmy you do help us! She was only telling you that not everything can be solved with science! Something is just magic.-said Tecna.
-Maybe you're right but all of my experiments fail! I didn't even find out why you became mermaids!-he said.
-That's the magic part!-said Tecna-You stress too much, just relax! If something can't be solved than it's not your fault, it just means that not everything is solved with science!
-I guess you're right.-he kissed her.
Author's note
Winx club fan asked me how in how many chapters I'm gonna end the story, I think it should be 2-3, I'm starting the finale of this story, it will probably be in two or three parts.
And also, winx club fan, don't worry, Musa and Riven are supposed to get back together in the sequel.
If you watched H2O: Just Add Water, you could realize that I'm trying to make their relationship similar to Rikki and Zane's, so they should be back in the sequel, like Rikki and Zane got back together in season 2.
Until next time, read and review!
