Yes, a few responses then onward.
Platinum Star- Yes your right, and don't worry about her powers be forced onto the Winx world I want to make it gradual. Thank you, No Bloom will not have the power leverage Cosmos has, I feel she is not responsible enough to handle a higher power.As for the other scouts they will not show up until the near end, they really don't play a big part.
Silent-Liquid-Thank you for pointing out the errors, I did re-post the chapter with errors that I found fixed. As for Mamoru if he is voted the winner I can gear the story to fix the barrier between the worlds.
Kiko-Neither is actually stronger then the other in the long run, their powers are different and as such could only function in their own dimensions. Serena however as Cosmos stands to break all rules as far as power goes, still she needed a tie to the Winx dimension, so the dragon-fire was brought in. Right now since the Winx girls are in training I have to say the Senshi has an edge.
Liz-Thank you, your review is touching as for the fellows, here is a website that can help. Michael's Favorites, chose Winx Club, when you are transported to the Winx Club page click on the link Episode Screen Shots, and choose the episode The Day of the Rose, you should see the four males. Brandon is the blonde, Prince Sky the dark brown, Timmy the dirty blonde, and Riven the dark maroon haired one. Also you can go to the Fox Box website click on the Winx club and then choose show bios'. When that shows up click on specialists and that will show the boys, and their bio.
Tenshikoneko03-Bad boys are just cool like that, I think that's why most successful movies have at least one bad boy.
Shadow Nightress-Nope not telling, what would be the fun in that? Your comments are dead on, as for Riven, one of the witches I think it was Darcy took a shine to him, and managed to save his life in The Day of the Rose. Though I don't think, the feelings are returned by Riven.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed, you are all special and the story just would not be the same without you !
I do not own these shows.
The room as Serena had not taken notice the day before was a simple one with silent elegance. A bay window with an attached seat to the sill, where sunlight streamed in highlighting the rest of the features in the room. A small bookcase jammed with text books and some noted reading material. A white vanity on the far east wall, adjacent to a small cherry wood desk. The was a cabaret', a large enclosed cabinet for her hanging clothes, and shoes. There were also seven drawers attached to it. Also, there was a shelf fixed to hold potion vials and a cauldron to brew them. The walls were bare and dusty white, begging to be shown some life.
Serena glanced balefully around and located a casual outfit to dress in. A pink T-shirt and some black slacks with white tennis shoes. She dressed mechanically and approached her flowers watering them and sparing some of Jupiter's powers of nature to let them flourish. Serena stood there playing with the flowers and picturing her tight-knit circle of friends where rapid knocking interrupted her thoughts. A high female voice filled with fun drifted through the close doors of the room.
"Serena, wake up sleepy head, we are going shopping !" Stella's voice carried through. Though shopping a favorite past time for our bunny, she hesitated, thoughts of shopping with her friends flashed through her mind. Serena was ready to decline when Pluto's advice ran through her head.
"I know it is going to be hard Usa-hime, but give them a chance to see your beautiful light." Pluto counseled. Rubbing her princess's shoulders as Usagi cried out her fears of losing her identity and the distance of her friends. "We all love you, and within time everyone here will too." Setsuna said. Together watching the evening turns to later hours.
Serena shook her head from the past memories of the night. She walked over and opened the door, giving her sister a kind, but distant smile. Stella, who's buoyant personality knew no bounds, shrugged off Serena's desire to stay distant and instead embraced her in a bone-crushing hug. Serena's thought turned in ward at her sister's reaction. She kind of reminds me of a younger me. She wrapped her arms around her younger sister and gave a gentle squeeze before untangling herself.
"Come on, let's go !" Serena said gesturing outward. Stella screamed in joy before grabbing Serena and dragging her down the hallway to her friend's dorms. While be dragged Serena recanted her statement, she doesn't remind me of me, she reminds me of Minako. Serena thought as she was hauled into a room filled with technology and music. Musa and Techna's room I bet, Serena thought glancing around. As if hearing her thoughts, the two fairies appeared. Stella ushered them along as she also went to retrieve Bloom, and Flora. With the whole group summoned, they went outside to be greeted by Apollo and Selenity. Together they entered the carriage waiting for them and rode off to the nearest mall.
While shopping, Serena had managed to get separated from the group. She sighed and muttered, looking around she spotted a bench and went to rest there. Serena lugged her purchases with her and placed them down next to her. Cosmos interceded her mumbling, 'You know you could put those in your subspace pocket.' She said referring to Serena's bags. Serena nodded and slipped the bags into the infinite pocket. Cosmos the more cautious of the two added her comments on their separation. 'This could be a ploy to separate us from the group and attack.' Cosmos said scanning with her magical sense. Doubt it, Serena thought back, I am just hopeless when it comes to my attention span. 'If you say so, but I will feel better when everyone is together.' Cosmos added then cut their link.
Suffice it to say Cosmos was half right, and they were separated for a cause, but not for one of attacking. Daphne tapped into their psyche and began a telepathic conversation with Serena. "I want you to help train the Dragon-Fire wielder." Daphne said. Serena raised an eyebrow at the statement.
"You want me to train someone?" Serena questioned mirth bubbling to the surface. "You don't know me too well then." She added, her laughter filling her voice.
"On the contrary, I think you would be perfect." Daphne noted to the mirth filled princess. "Cosmos, your warrior half showed me your past." Daphne added. Serena nodded at her comment.
"I am quite aware of that, however you must have missed my charming personality flaws." Serena said picturing how a training session would go. "I do not know about training, but I would be able to show her how to be clumsy." She added, twitching at the picture in her mind. Serena had long ago come to terms with her slow maturity. Daphne sighed and shook her head.
"You will train the dragon-fire wielder or else our world will fall into chaos." Daphne said, her patience peaked. Serena's ears perked at the word chaos, but it seemed unlikely Daphne was speaking of the being of Evilness itself. Cosmos was growling at the obstinance the watcher was displaying. Ordering her other half like a commoner, she was part of the Queen of Stars, you ask, you don't demand, no matter the reason. Serena shushed her other half silently, and spoke to Daphne.
"All right it is an agreement, however, Cosmos extends a small reminder, please ask next time, guardian." Serena said with an acknowledgment and turned away from the Dragon-fire guardian. "Please, can you return everything to normal, and send a warning next time you want to chat." Serena added watching the frozen people. When everything returned to normal Serena placed a smile on.
Have we become pawns to this world's needs? Serena asked to Cosmos. She felt her other half stopped to consider it. 'Probably, trouble seems to follow us.' Indeed, it does, Serena added. Their conversation was cut short by Stella's declaration.
"There you are, I looked all over for you." Stella shouted at the compliant Serena. Serena offered a smile as a way of apology and gestured to a random store as a shall we gesture. Stella pulled Serena up and dragged her to the antique store. Serena raised an eyebrow at Stella's choice of stores and gazed at her questioning. Stella caught the look. "It's not I, I wouldn't want to go in that stuffy old place, but Mom and Dad went in there with the rest of the group." Stella informed. Serena nodded her head, perhaps she could find a lamp for Hotaru, or something for Setsuna. Serena briefly wondered if the items of this world could cross the barrier. Her musings were cut short as her silhouette graced the shop. When she entered her mother caught site of her and pulled her gently away from Stella and the rest of the group. Serena gazed at her mother curiously, blinking at the anxiousness she saw.
"Please try to get along with your sister." Selenity pleaded with Serena, tugging on her arm with her insistence. Serena raised an eyebrow at her mom's behavior. "I know you disappeared for a few minutes of alone time, but this is time we need to be a family." Selenity added bringing Serena in for a hug. Serena hugged her mother back in confusion, wondering where she was picking up her ideas.
"Mom, I do not ignore nor do I dislike my sister, but I need time to adjust you need to understand this." Serena explained pulling back out of her mother's embrace. "Where are you getting these ideas?" Serena asked Selenity, pausing to study her mom. Selenity shook her head, and Serena just shrugged at her mother's empty response. Before a thought hit her. "Why are you so insistent to the fact that we need to be a family right now?" Serena inquired, her sapphirine eyes scanning deep into her mother's searching for answers. Selenity waved off Serena's gaze and turned away. "What aren't you telling me?" Serena's voice implied. Cosmos stared from Serena's eyes studying the Moon Queen. Selenity offered her a complacent smile and walk off.
"Pawn to Queen, and checkmate." Serena whispered silently wondering about her mother's behavior. Cosmos brought up their link, her eyes thinning at the flippant answers they had been receiving, from Daphne and the Moon Queen. 'I think we need to pay a personal visit to Daphne, and a astral visit into the Queen's memories.' Cosmos said, protecting her other half. No, I don't think to force them, it might cause a disastrous result that will entangle us deeper into what ever we are being tied to. Serena explained to her warrior half, Cosmos nodded and her form faded from Serena's vision. Serena sighed and went to explore the shop, shaking her head at her warrior's half demeanor. She knew Cosmos would search the Moon Queen's memories whether she agreed or not. Personally Serena's curiosity was peaked and wanted more information to form a fall back plan. She refused to play fiddle to any more of Fate's planning. Serena just hope Cosmos wouldn't come back with severe information.
Exploring the shop she made only one purchase. She found a beautiful deep purple based lamp. The shade was a firefly with a scythe leaning against its wings. Serena sighed thinking back to Death's Angel. "Hotaru." Serena murmured, a small tear sliding down her cheek.
"Usa-haha, come on I want ice cream!" A violet haired small child yelled to the spacing Usagi. Usagi giggled and caught up to her youngest friend. Gently she picked up the dark haired child and placed her on her shoulders. The walked pass several stores before the child tensed up, her amethyst eyes flashing in delight. Usagi looked up a the short haired child her face contorted in confusion.
"Hotaru, what is it?" Usagi questioned to the child sitting on her shoulders. Hotaru clambered down from Usagi's shoulders and tugged her in the direction of a lamp store. Seeing what fascinated the young girl Usagi laughed. Together they skipped off to the lamp shop, Hotaru examining each and every craft work.
Hotaru spotted a white bunny body one, and sent Usagi off in the opposite direction. Hotaru wanted to get a gift for Usagi because she had been slightly down with Mamoru in the States studying. While Hotaru was purchasing her gift Usagi was inspecting one lamp that was modeled after the Outer Sera Senshi, and including Usagi standing there in the middle in her princess form. Usagi laughed at the popularity the Sera Senshi had achieved our the years.
She picked it up to study it closer. Each looked like an exact replica, Uranus with her hair sculpted wind blown and her right arm held her space sword in a salute. Neptune with her mirror held in her left hand her head arched slightly liked she was peering deeply within it. Pluto with her key standing to her right her hand wrapped around it, her garnet eyes glittering with the artist's interpretation. Saturn held her glaive at her left crossing with the time key. Her face was concentrated in a peaceful expression, her eyes close. Then front and center standing before Neptune and Pluto was Usagi in her princess form. Her head was bowed, her hands held in a praying position. Usagi's dress flaring out over the base giving the lamp a surreal look.
Usagi smiled and went to purchase the lamp, asking that it to be gift wrapped. She thought Hotaru would enjoy having a lamp that encased her standing with her parental figures. Usagi smiled gently when she saw Hotaru coming she slipped her gift into her space pocket until after they had their ice cream. Usagi didn't want it to get sticky. Hotaru offered her wrapped gift to Usagi, Usagi grinned brightly at Hotaru before slipping it into her space pocket. Hotaru looked confuse for a moment.
"Wouldn't want it to get sticky from the ice cream, do we?" Usagi exclaimed to Hotaru. Hotaru shook her head and tugged Usagi to the ice cream parlor. Where they had a peaceful snack, a rainbow sherbert for Hotaru, and a vanilla cone for Usagi. Usagi pictured Hotaru's excited face when she unwrapped her lamp Usagi had gotten for her. She was pulled from her reminiscing by a shake from Stella.
"Time to go." Stella said gazing at her sister's clouded eyes. Serena nodded, and was surprise by Stella's hug of compassion. "If you need somebody to talk to, I am here." Stella whispered to her sister. Serena smiled and gave Stella a smile that made the stars sing. Serena thought back to her comment this morning. Stella did remind Serena of herself. Clutching her purchase to her chest, Serena nodded. Together the sisters walked out companionably, sharing small talk.
Serena offered a secret smile, perhaps this adventure won't be so bad with my sister. Riding back their carriage was attacked, and three cackling females converged onto the down carriage. Usagi's eyes widen, before her sister stood along with her friends. "I was spending a nice time with my sister, do you have to ruin it with your ugly fashions?" Stella screeched at the three floating females. "Winx Power Time!" Stella encouraged to her fellow fairies. They nodded back, Usagi settled back to watch the incoming fight.
