Last Chapter:

"'Nathan invited me to Abacia over the weekend.' Melodia said."

"'Flubbersticks!'"

"Flubbersticks!" Sky shouted, this time with much more force.

"Helia, maybe you should stop reading the book?" Brandon suggested, but Helia had already started on the last line.

"'Melodia!' yelled, also standing up. Then, I ran out of the room."

"Flubbersticks!" Sky shouted, once again.

"Helia!" Riven commanded. Helia shut the book and threw it to the ground. Once the book touched the floor, the flashing eyes of Sky turned towards him.

"Uh, Sky?" Helia questioned.

It was too late.

The prince was already airborne.


The Winx Read My Melody

Chapter 21: Wimps


"And that is why Helia is bald," Brandon concluded, very tiredly. The girls around the room looked absolutely terrified.

"Come again?" Stella requested. Brandon groaned.

"Baby, I told this story five times already," he complained.

"But… what!?" she shrieked. "How…"

"Just accept it!" Riven called. "He's bald. No hair. Naked. Bare-"

"Thank you, Riven. I think they get it," Helia grumbled. He rubbed his newly shaved head nervously.

"We still haven't heard how Sky broke his jaw," Roxy pointed out. Helia shifted uncomfortably, already feeling the pressure of the answer coming.

Before anybody could say anything, he let out a strangled cry and started rocking back and forth.

The poor guy was a mess.

"Can you guess?" Timmy questioned. Mirta shrugged her shoulders.

"Did Helia attack him?" she offered. This response only made the strangled sounds intensify. Flora awkwardly patted him on his back.

"Uhm… there, there, Helia," the flower fairy consoled. She looked to the other girls for help, but they all shrugged as a response.

"Yeah, Sky was clobbered by the big guy," Riven snorted. His laugh was stopped shortly and he leaned over, clearly in pain. "Freaking nose," he grumbled.

"And what happened to Riven?" Roxy questioned.

"Did Sky attack him too?" Mirta questioned, clearly concerned. The men around the room shared an awkward look.

"Errrrrr, not really," Brandon admitted, a small smile cracking his face.

"Helia…" Flora groaned disappointedly.

"What!?" he gasped, looking hurt. "It wasn't me! Seriously, people. It was self-defence!"

"Didn't work very well, did it?" Amaryl laughed. The group turned to glare at her. "Oops. Sorry. Too soon?"

"Well, I think this whole situation is just hilarious," Layla concluded, a wide smile on her face. Helia shot her a very threatening look which made her smile wider.

"Alright," Mrs. Griselda said as she walked in to Mrs. Faragonda's office. "Prince Sky has been sent to the holding cells. It sounds like there was a very joyous reunion between Princess Bloom and him."

"Please tell me someone took away his 'trophy,'" Helia begged. Mrs. Griselda raised her eyebrows at the sight of the shiny new Specialist.

"Trophy?" she prompted. Helia flushed with embarrassment and adverted his eyes.

"Sky… well… he…" Brandon struggled for the right words.

"Sky kept Helia's hair and braided it into his," Riven said.

The group fell silent and looked towards the group of guys.

"That's nasty," Stella muttered.

"I have to agree with you on this one," Amaryl said.

"Is this what guys do?" Roxy questioned, clearly disgusted.

"I really hope you all don't wear each other's hair like extensions," Layla added.

"Well, look how calmly Riven said it!" Amaryl pointed out.

"Okay, you have a point." If it was possible, Stella looked even more disgusted.

"You nasty," she said again.

"Alright, how about we don't judge all of us by Sky's actions?" Riven suggested. "I'd rather not wear anybody else's hair, thank you."

"How about we move on?" Griselda suggested. She picked up the book. "We're almost done here."

"Really?!" Layla asked hopefully. Mrs. Griselda burst out laughing.

"HA HA no! Sucker!" she cried. Stella turned to Brandon, absolutely terrified.

"I don't think I have ever heard her laugh," the sun fairy whispered. Brandon nodded in agreement.

"You'll read, right Mrs. G!?" Amaryl asked hopefully.

"No," she responded instantly. "I'm not paid enough for that. You can."

"We aren't paid at all!" Amaryl snapped. Mrs. Griselda sighed.

"I guess I will," she muttered. She flipped open the book to the bookmark.

"Chapter 14: Abacia," she read.

"Wait!" Roxy cried. "What happened at the end of chapter 13!?"

"Melodia ditched Alfea and went to stay with her bae on Abacia," Riven replied. Amaryl wrinkled her nose.

"Bae?" she asked. Roxy smiled.

"It's a popular term right now. It's like a substitute for 'babe…' It's pretty much a pet name," she answered. "Although, I do remember hearing from someone that bae means poop."

"Oh well. He's a shithead too, so it works either way," Riven answered. Mrs. Griselda raised her eyebrows. "Shit." If possible, her eyebrows went further up her forehead. Riven briefly wondered if they, in fact, attached to her face, or if they just hovered there permanently.

"Language," she warned. Stella snickered from behind her hand.

"Oops," he corrected himself, rolling his eyes. "Sorry. Continue."

"'I still cant believe they did that.' I grumbled. Nathan nodded. We sat in his beautiful room. I couldn't believe how big it was. I mean he was a prince but you wouldn't think how big his room was!"

"Does she know any word other than big?" Timmy wondered.

"No kidding. Her vocabulary sucks," Mirta agreed.

"It was big! So big! Like really big!"

"Point for us!" Mirta cheered.

"Ew. I think I lost a few brain cells while reading that…" Amaryl muttered.

"It had a bed, dresser, walk in closet, bathroom, desk, lamps, chairs, TVs and everything else that a room has. It was big."

"Big. Like really big. Like so big. Extremely big," Riven mocked. Brandon cracked a smile.

"Hey, Riven," he called, "I know what to get your daughter for her birthday!"

"Okay, first off-"

"A thesaurus!" Brandon was the only one who found this funny and bust out laughing.

"A thesaurus?" Stella questioned, clearly disgusted. "That's a crappy gift."

"What? It's educational."

"Right no, we were on the baloney."

"Right, no?" Roxy questioned. "Or now…? She does know there is such thing as grammar, right?"

"Right? No." Stella burst out laughing at her own joke.

"And you think I'm not funny," Brandon muttered. Stella stopped and glared at her boyfriend.

"What did you just say!?"

"'It's super lame.' He agreed to my statement. 'I'm glade you came.'"

"Wait… Isn't glade a type of cleaner?" Roxy questioned.

"S.J. Thompson, A Family Company," Stella responded.

"Uhm… Sure?" Roxy suggested. The sun fairy beamed with pride.

"'Me to.' I said. We smiled at each other and leaned in. We shared a very deep kiss as the Abacian sun set behind us."

"The romance is so real!" Layla cried sarcastically.

"I know! It's too beautiful!" The group turned to face the Earth fairy. She quickly wiped away a few stray tears on her face.

"Are you actually crying?" Riven roared with laughter. Roxy blushed.

"Oh. You were sarcastic… I totally was, too," she mumbled awkwardly.

"Sure."

"I knew I made the right choice. In that one kiss, I knew the rest of my life was set out for me."

"Yeah, okay!" Layla laughed.

"Man, this kid is off the tracks," Amaryl muttered.

"Tracks?" Mrs. Griselda questioned, her ears perking up as she set the book down.

"Yeah," Amaryl said slowly, "like train tracks." Roxy raised her eyebrows at the fairy.

'I bet she doesn't even know what shape Earth is, never mind what trains are!' she thought.

"Oh."

"Who in their right mind would let their teenage daughter run off with a boy she just met!?" Flora asked.

"You know it's bad when Flora is disturbed," Riven snickered.

"This book is really pushing it," Brandon agreed.

"Pushing?" Mrs. Griselda questioned.

"Uhm… Yeah?" Brandon said slowly, looking around at the others in the group.

"DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY!" The group jumped in the air from the sudden change in volume, but nobody moved into push-up position. "NOW!" Helia was so scared, he slid off his chair.

"Alright, Riven. I handled the last two," Brandon sighed, leaning back in his chair.

"MOVE IT! MOVE IT!" Helia began doing push-ups at a dangerously fast speed.

"What!? No! You do it!" Riven snapped.

"FASTER, FASTER, FASTER!" Helia's speed increased.

"Yeah, no. You do it!"

"No, you!"

"No-"

"FASTEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!"

"Riven!" Brandon snapped.

"MOVE IT!"

"Brandon!" Riven growled.

"TWENTY MORE!"

"I don't wanna get in trouble!"

"FASTER!"

"Bro, you won't!"

"MOVE I-"

Griselda's yells were cut short. She fell to the floor with no grace, right to the base of Stella's feet.

"Wimps."
