Chapter 2

Somewhere in Cloud Tower, a Witch with forest green hair studies by herself in her dorm. She waves her hand, and a green aura circles her hand, until it also engulfs the book on her desk. The book lifts up by itself, and the pages turned as she commands it.

"Jade, spending another evening by yourself I see," a deep, syrupy voice interrupts the previous silence of the room.

She turns around to find a black cat standing in the doorway, "What more do you expect, Dec? It's not like I'm ever invited to anything, and besides, I have studying to do."

Dec trouts on all four paws before leaping up onto Jade's desk, "Don't be such a downer, Jade. You have me to keep you company. You've been studying all week, it's Friday night. I just checked, the recreation room's free, and there's a lovely looking video game console just waiting for someone to play it."

She chuckles, reaching over to scratch Dec behind the ears, "And how exactly are you going to play? With your paws?"

"I'll have you know that these feline fingers are actually quite agile," he counters, displaying one of his paws playfully.

Jade's phone suddenly goes off, and she picks it up. Who would be calling her?

"Hello?" she answers.

"Hey, Jade, it's your big sis calling!" Silver's peppy voice replies.

She rolls her eyes, "What do you want?"

"Well, you see there's this new club I'm starting at school, and I was wondering if you could be a part of it."

Is she crazy? A club at Alfea? No way.

"You know Fairies and Witches don't mix. And besides, why would you want me for your club?" Jade asks.

She giggles, "Because you're my sister, silly! And it wouldn't be the same without you."

She squints her eyes in suspicion, "Hang on, what is this club about exactly?"

"It's the new Winx Club. A group of girls who-"

"The Winx Club?! As in Fairies' Winx? Witches are the enemy of the Winx Club, why did you think including me would be a good idea to begin with?" she snaps.

Silver remains silent on the other end of the line for a few moments, "...well, I mean, it's just a name. It would really just be a group where you could hang out an-"

Jade hangs up the phone and shakes her head. What is her sister thinking? A Witch joining the Winx Club, that's just something that just doesn't happen. Witches are the bad guys to the Winx, the very first enemies they fought were the Trix, three evil Witches who have since been imprisoned. That's not to say that most Witches are evil, it's just that's how most people see them.

"Well...that was interesting to say the least," Dec comments, jumping into Jade's lap.

"Oh, it was just my sister. She was calling about having me join her silly club. She must think I need friends or something. Pssh, I don't need her, besides, Fairies and Witches never mix, even if they are sisters."

Jade's phone goes off again, it must be Silver trying to call her back. With a flick of her wrist, a green aura surrounds the phone before it shuts off.

Getting out of her desk, she flops down on her forest green bed. Dec follows her to the bed, climbing atop one of the dull magenta pillows, "Something's got you down, my Witch. Tell me about your troubles."

She sighs, "Why would my sister contact me after all this time? We haven't spoken to each other ever since I decided to become a Witch. Why now?"

"Maybe she's desperate for club members. Things at Alfea are not as sunny as they used to be," Dec suggests.

Jade chuckles, "Silver? Needing friends? No way, she can talk her way in-and-out of anything. She's always been the charming one of the family. Not like me."

Dec purrs, "You don't need charm when you're far more powerful than she could ever be. Your magic far exceeds hers, and she knows it. She's jealous of you."

"Alright kitty, that's enough catnip for you," she jokes, petting his back.

Silver scrambles around Alfea's plaza, flyers in hand. Today's the day the Specialists visit, and the only day that Fairies would be in the plaza. Maybe she could catch Michael-...no, she had to focus on recruiting Fairies for the club.

Silver approaches a Fairy, "Hi, would you be interested-"

She walks off, and sighing, Silver brushes it off before going up to the next nearest Fairy, "Hey, maybe you'd like to join-"

"Ha, who still uses flyers?" the Fairy laughs cruelly, pushing over Silver's stack of flyers.

The papers go flying to the ground, and Silver scrambles to pick them up.

As she gets on her knees to pick them up, ruining her new pair of jeans, a tall shadow looms over her.

"Need some help there?"

Silver looks up, to see a handsome Specialist with short burgundy hair. She beams, "Michael!"

In a flurry of papers, she runs up and hugs her friend, "How have you been? I haven't seen you since the school year started."

"I've been busy in my training, you?" he asks, as they separate from their hug.

She giggles, "Oh, you know me, juggling school and trying to earn my Charmix…"

"You still haven't earned your Charmix yet?"

Silvers giggles become nervous, and slightly embarrassed, "Well, you know, I'm working on it...you can't really rush these things, you know?"

Michael places a hand on her shoulder, "Don't sweat it Sil. You'll earn your Charmix in no time."

She blushes as she glances at his hand on her shoulder. Michael is such a nice guy...cute too…

"Hey, what are these?" he asks, picking up one of Silver's flyers.

Snapping out of her daydream, she responds, "Oh! Those are my flyer ads, for the new Winx Club."

"New Winx Club, huh? But doesn't the original one still exist?"

She nods, "Yeah, but they visited Alfea and saw that the school lacked spirit. So they put me in charge of making a new Winx Club for the school."

Michael smiles and scratches his head, "Wow, that's actually pretty cool. Any takers yet?"

"No...not yet, but I'm definitely working on it," Silver assures him.

"Yo, Michael!" another Specialist shouts to him.

He looks over and waves to his friend, "Well, I'm sure you'll find someone. You just need to know where to look. I'll see you later, Sil!"

Silver waves to Michael as he runs to meet his friend. She sighs, a dreamy look in her eyes. She didn't bother to hide her feelings for him, she knows he's clueless about them anyway.

Just then, a crashing noise can be heard from the south side of Alfea. A group of Fairies scream as a large, dark blue scorpion creature breaks through the south wall. Silver gasps, but as she watches the other Fairies and Specialists run for the school, she knows what she has to do. Time to transform!
