Hey everyone, I am actually on time this time! YAY! Here is the 18th chapter, Unhealthy Fries & Ice Cream Soup, realyl it has barely anything to do with the chapter but it sounds slightly disgusting and intriguing, at least to me. So before I babbly on and on, like I tend to do, here is the chapter. Enjoy!
Disclaimer:I don't own Winx and most of the characters. I was given them and blah blah blah.

"We could slip a love potion in his drink," Riff said. He leaned back on the booth's comfy surface with booming confidence. Astrel stared at the boy along with Skylar and Paige. The two fairies sat opposite from each other and continuously ignoring each other. Riff looked at those three fairies and shrugged his shoulder. "What's wrong with that?" he defensively asked.
"Other than the plain obvious of it being not true love and a fail of an idea, Juliette would be so annoyed. She does not want a boyfriend that way," Astrel retorted. Skylar nodded her head in agreement. She added, "besides why would anyone use a love potion to have someone fall in love with them. Not everyone is like you Riff, some people don't play dirty. And it's not like Xavier admitted that he liked her or anything too, so it may not be a favour." Riff glared at the fire fairy, who just smirked in accomplishment. Destinée shook her head.
"He's all but admitted it though. I already told you, they kissed!"
"Yes but you never told us who long it was or if it was a two sided kiss," Aria exclaimed. Destinée nodded her head.
"You are so right, I never mentioned it. But neither did Juliette," Destinée said. Akumu looked at them in slight concern. He gasped, "what are you talking about? Remember some of us don't speak girl."
Aria looked at the boys with an evil smirk. She raised her eyebrows cheekily a couple times before responding, "it makes a difference. If Juliette pulled away then he likes her, depending on how long the kiss lasted. If it was instant then she was embarrassed. But if it lasted longer than he wanted to kiss her. If he pulled away he doesn't like her but if was a long kiss and he pulled away he likes her but not in the crush zone, more likey-like now. He liked the kiss but it's not something he pictures ever happening again, yet." It looked like Astrel fell a little forward.
"I'm female and I don't even fully understand," she mumbled loudly. Skylar put a hand on Astrel's, "in your defence your best friend was two old guys." For a few minutes they sat quietly. Some of them thumped their fingers against the diner table in concentration.
"What is the point of this anyway?" Akemi growled. The others looked up to see the witches, they had forgotten them.
"Nice of you to join the conversations," Aria joked. There was a rattle of the plates and utensils but it ended after Argo put a hand on Sora's shoulder.
"Akemi is right, we should be focusing on what the witches have planned. They could be attacking any moment now and we haven't said a word towards this," Airigon exclaimed with annoyance. "Match-making is hardly ever going to make a difference when we are all corpse!"
"Wrong!" Aria yelled. She put a thumb down and stuck her tongue out while making a sound like a toilet flushing.
"Yeah, Aria's right. Juliette won't show her face anywhere near the specialists now, maybe not even outside our dorm," Paige agreed. "And we need all the extra hands, if we can do this with less bloodshed on our side then the better!"
"Maybe we should go and talk to Felix, her brother," Destinée suggested. "He could always help us, and she says they trust each other, so he will keep her secret, I'm sure."
"Matter closed then," Argo said. But Ray shook his head. Argo looked at it with an eyebrow raised. "What do you mean, we already got it covered," she growled.
"All I'm saying is we should have a back up plan," Ray suggested matter-of-factly.
"Like what?" Aria snorted rudely. She slurped her soda while holding Ray's glare. She rolled her eyes and looked away from him.
"We can always lock them in a closet and wait for them to get along," Nicolas said, "it might work." Destinée looked at all the specialist in utter shock.
"For friends you really are no help in this situation," Paige exclaimed. She grabbed a fry and bit into the salty goodness. "Okay what is it with these fries! They are addicted!" Ashton smirked.
"Yeah and they are also really unhealthy, I suggest you stop eating all of them," he teased. Paige glared at him playfully and threw a couple of them at him.
"I hope it was worth loosing those fries," Astrel stated while holding up the plate. "Because you are getting more." Paige grabbed the plate and skipped over to the counter.
"I think we should just stick with what we have so we can get on with the evil witches," Akumu said. He winked at Akemi, who then blushed. Sora smirked and pinched her arm. Akemi looked at her witch friends and quickly looked down. Sora and Argo looked at each other with evil grins. Astrel jumped up a little.
"Oh darn, just when we things were becoming so interesting," Astrel said sarcastically. Aria looked at the girl with a grin.
"Don't you have a romantic bone in your body?" Aria teased. She punched Astrel on the shoulder lightly. Astrel looked up at Drake for a moment but quickly looked down. Aria raised an eyebrow at the two, but only Drake noticed. He blushed lightly but ignored Aria's enquiring look. Travis elbowed him in the stomach but he was ignored.
Argo started right away, "so the Trix are trying to make us weak. They know we are all rested and we've been practising. It's kinda obvious. They're going to come after us soon, but they are only doing this to make us tired. So hopefully after this battle they will only have one more and beat us. We have to be careful this time, so we will be ready when they come full contact."
"Wait... how do you get this information anyway!" Skylar asked with surprise. Argo shrugged.
"It's not really important, but we are pretty sneaky I guess," Akemi answered. Sora leaned close to Akemi and whispered something in her ear. "That's right, I almost forget. The Trix have another cousin too. So we have to watch out who we talk to and what we say."
Ray stood up straighter. "How do we know he's working for them? Maybe he's just related," he said bitterly. He didn't meet anyone's gaze. Sora shifted in the seat uncomfortably.
"How do you know it's a guy," Sora muttered. He turned to look at her.
"Isn't that what we do? When you don't know the gender you go to the male?" he grumbled. Sora shrugged, truthfully she didn't know.
"Is that all we know? Nothing else to cover?" Destinée asked. Argo nodded her head. Riff shook his head.
"Wow and you were so eager..."he chuckled. He stretched before scooting out of the booth. "Well this has been entertaining but I have homework and so on so I think I'll be going."
"We don't have homework," Nicolas contradicted. Riff rolled his eyes.
"Whatever, I think I'm going to go now. Anyone care to join me?" he asked cockily. Ray rolled his eyes and got up. "Fine," he agreed, "let's go."
"You guys should go and look for the other Trix cousin with Xavier," Paige suggested with another fry in her mouth. Ray and Riff waved goodbye before walking out.
"Shouldn't we be going too," Paige asked while looking at her fairy friends. Destinée looked at her watch and sighed.
"Yeah, I think so. We just have enough time to get ice cream at the cafeteria with Juliette," Destinée agreed. Her friends rolled their eyes, classic Destinée. The fairies got up and headed to the door.
"Bye!" they cried in unison. They left. The witches looked at the specialists before rolling their eyes and leaving together.
"I think they like us," Ashton laughed. The other boys snorted with laughter along with their friend.
The Dorm Seven fairies gathered Juliette and pulled her to the cafeteria. "Hurry up, we might miss dessert if we don't," Destinée exclaimed. Juliette yelped, "I can walk!" She unhooked her arms from Destinée and Skylar's so she could rush facing the direction.
They pushed the doors open and some of them squealed, "we made it!" Aria and Destinée rushed to the tables where the ice cream was and starting filling their bowls. Paige followed eagerly behind but the three other fairies where reluctant, how could they stomach anything else when they, other than Juliette, ate piles of fries and burgers just recently. They sat down. Astrel looked at her bowl in disgust.
"Will anyone take my ice cream, I don't want it anymore," she said. Destinée smiled happily but grimaced when she looked at the liquid ice cream.
"What have you done to it! Yo-you monster!" Destinée said with shock. Astrel dropped her spoon from mixing it and pushed the bowl away.
"So where were you girls?" Juliette asked politely. She looked up, which she hardly did tonight. Skylar shrugged.
"We went to Xander's, nothing big just went to eat something. Sorry we didn't invite," Skylar explained. Juliette pushed her shoulders up close to her face and twisted her mouth to the side.
"It's fine. I didn't really want to go out anyway," she responded. Then they sat quietly. "Did you talk about anything important then? Oh and I haven't told you about what I learnt today, about the Trix!"
"Why don't we just spend tonight gossiping and having fun. We've been all stressed lately, Juliette with your research mode, Aria trying to get her transformation, and so on. Let's just stay up late, watch trashy movies, eat so much we almost vomit, gossip about hot guys and actors we would die to meet. Let's have some girl time!" Destinée suggested. Juliette smiled warmly and all the other girls joined in.
"Sounds disgusting, I am so in," Astrel giggled. "Now hurry up and eat that before they lock us in here," she said suddenly serious. "They don't have a TV." The girls erupted with laughter.
"Oh goodness, there is something wrong with us tonight. Because that was really not that funny," Paige said between hiccups of laughter.
