Random Winx Idea

(A/N: I own nothing and this just popped into my head at random…don't ask me why. AU OOC Bashing and femslash all possible and likely.)
"What's a fairy doing around here? Shouldn't you be getting ready for your silly little party?" Zarathustra asked looking at the red haired freshman fairy who was on the witch side of town for some reason.
"I was looking for some fabric so I could make my own dress, but everything in the other stores was far too bright. This place has some darker colors so I thought I'd check it out." Bloom said smiling brightly and unafraid up at the witch who blinked for a second.
"You're a fairy." Zarathustra said earning a shrug from Bloom.
"So I've been told. I haven't actually transformed yet so apparently there's still some debate about that." Bloom said grinning as if she was making an inside joke to someone who wasn't on the inside.
"You're on the witch side of town." Zarathustra said making Bloom blink before looking around and then shrugging again.
"If you say so?" Bloom asked more than said seeing absolutely nothing wrong with the side of town she was on, or that anything was different except for maybe the darker colors.
"You're a fairy on the witch side of town looking for darker colors of fabric?" Zarathustra asked slowly as if she had no idea what to do with this information and making Bloom nod her head.
"Yes? Is there something wrong with that or is this like just a culture difference I don't understand yet?" Bloom asked honestly confused as she looked at the blue haired woman.
"Most fairies don't come anywhere near the witch side of town." Zarathustra said staring at the girl who pulled a face at that.
"Honestly I'm probably more likely to be on whichever side that fairies aren't on. They have a really bad reputation on earth, where I'm from, and honestly nothing so far has really disproved it." Bloom said making Zarathustra's eyebrows shoot upwards.
"Really?" Zarathustra asked causing Bloom to nod.
"In ancient legends on Earth the fairies are called the Fair Folk because the people who remembered them were scared of what the 'Fair Folk' would do to them if they called them anything but fair." Bloom said causing Zarathustra to grin slowly.
"Really? How about we take a seat at the café over there with my sister and a friend of mine and you can explain more about how your home world sees Fairies. I'll show you a little out of the way shop that has lots of dark but shimmering fabric that you can make dresses and things from for a fair price afterwards." Zarathustra offered causing Bloom to raise an eyebrow and smirk at her.
"Only if you don't mind me asking you to the dance. If you're going to be showing me this stuff and putting up with my rambling of the old legends back home then I will consider that a date and will ask you to the dance as a result." Bloom said making Zarathustra throw her head back and laugh for a minute.
"Oh you are definitely not a normal fairy. I think I like you Red. Tell you what this goes well and I'll be your date to the dance. This goes bad then no hard feelings but no date to the dance." Zarathustra offered making Bloom hum but nod.
"Sounds fair. After you my lady." Bloom said with an over exaggerated bow which earned another snort from the blue clad woman who led the red head over to the café.
"You guys won't believe what her home world says of the fairies. You gotta hear it." Zarathustra said keeping the two other teachers from Cloud Tower from saying anything about the red haired girl who had to be a fairy since she definitely wasn't a witch from their school.
"Oh?" Griffin asked her interest piqued as she looked at the girl who gave them both a smile, completely unbothered by the fact that she was surrounded by witches and was now at a table with three feared witch teachers.
"Nice to meet you." Bloom said politely as she nodded at the two others while Zarathustra sat down next to the red head with an eager grin on her face.
"You were saying that the legends on your home world called the fairies Fair Folk out of fear." Zarathustra prompted the girl who nodded her head, earning the attention of those who weren't already staring at the unafraid fairy sitting amongst the witches.
"Yes in the ancient legends the fairies would kidnap people, grant wishes that backfire horribly, rape and torture others, and then expect the humans to be grateful because the Fair Folks morals are so alien that they honestly had no idea that they weren't helping you. If you fail to show gratitude to them then they'll do something to you worse than those three girls that attacked me would do to their worst enemy, and those girls froze a fire based magical in a giant block of solid ice for two minutes which nearly killed me." Bloom said nodding and causing the witches to stare at her in disbelief.
"Of course like every legend, those had to come from somewhere so what does that tell you about why I'm not too keen on being around those that seem to put fairies on pedestals around here?" Bloom asked raising an eyebrow at the teachers who had their mouths dropped open in disbelief.
"Really? Those are some actual legends from your home world?" The purple clad woman asked earning a nod from Bloom.
"I have an entire book full of the ancient legends of the Fair Folk if you want to borrow it. I've memorized most of them years ago." Bloom offered causing the green skinned woman of the trio to nod her head slightly. She'd have to read that book to believe it and oh was Faragonda never going to live this down.
"A deals a deal. I'll show you to the fabric store. She came to this side of town looking for fabric to make her own dress for the dance, because the fabric on the fairies side of town was too bright for her tastes." Zarathustra said grinning at her sister who gave the red head an incredulous look.
"A fairy that doesn't like bright colors?" Ediltrude asked in disbelief as she stared at the red head who shrugged slightly.
"A fairy who grew up on a world that has forgotten about magic except for the old legends, and a fairy who has yet to transform and therefore there is no solid evidence of the fact that I am a fairy. The only thing that I know is that I have magic, for all I know that could mean I'm a witch that just got stuck at the school that looks like someone threw Pepto Bismol on the walls." Bloom said dryly making the witches around her begin sickening and snorting at the way she phrased that.
"Plus all the bright colors give me headaches, give me dark colors any day." Bloom said rubbing her eyelids as if to stave off a headache brought upon by the bright colors she had seen in the stores.
"Amen to that." Griffin agreed with the girl, giving her a sympathetic pat on the shoulder as Zarathustra stood up, Bloom following her easily.
"So did this go well enough for you?" Bloom asked smirking at the blue clad woman who gave a small snort.
"Yes it did. If you're this interesting all the time then I'll definitely enjoy being your date to the dance." Zarathustra said as she led the red head from the café. Everything in the café was quiet for a moment as they processed what the teacher just said.
"What?!" The entire café seemed to cry out at once as Ediltrude and Griffin moved to chase after Zarathustra.
"Did that fairy ask out my baby sister?!" That was what Ediltrude was focused on.
