Author's note: Deep apologies to everyone for all of this. The construction of the story has been fun, adding more details then before to give the readers a more in-depth feeling of how things are functioning within the story. Though to many fans of Bloom, Stella, and Helia, the three will be in the story, so don't fret. Also I've added new chapters into the start of the story, and also changed the names of some of the chapters, noticing that they weren't completely satisfactory to myself. On a last note, you will also notice that there will be no more "point-of-views" in the chapters, but instead will be written in narrator form. (I know many people were getting confused about that!) Lastly, please do read the new edition of the story, and do send reviews if you like! I like to hear what you have to say about the story!

Thanks,

Chapter 1: A new Beginning

Dear Daughter,

Both your father and I are both terribly sorry on how we couldn't be there to see you off, so I had decided for this to be delivered to you while you were leaving. I know with our schedules these past couple of months, you haven't been able to see both of us very often, which is something both your father and I have regretted completely.

Well for starters, after all of your previous years of home schooling, your father and I had decided that is was your turn to experience the wonders of the great city of Magix, the one place where when we were your age, your father and I fell in love.

I know that this is a big step for you, but on how you and I are very similar, I know you'll do fine. With your kind personality I know that you're bound to make new friends the minute you arrive, or even possibly you may indeed find someone that you may already know. You know, its funny, when both your father and I decided to let you have your last year of schooling away from home and at Magix, I was slightly hesistant on the matter. But with your father's reassurance, I knew you would truly be alright.

Some advice, I would first like to say for you to just have fun, enjoy all your surroundings there, because after all, it is the most well known city in the entire Magical demension. Also, many things happen in the great city of Magix, some that will mostly change your life. I cannot quarantee that these situations may be happy or saddening, but I do know that you'll battle through them all.

With much love,

Your mother

P.S. Please do remember to write and call us sometime, we really will miss you!

Keikyo closed the letter, placing it back into its envelope as she gazed out of the car's window as they passed by the series of streets in the town, turning down a long dirt path to where she could see in the distance a large building surrounded by trees and a large lake residing to its left. Sighing, she gazed up out into the sky, hardly any sign of clouds, but instead birds gliding on the wind's curent every now and then.

In her heart, Keikyo was truly thankful to her parents, feeling glad for them to trust her in beginning starting chapter of her independence. Though, during her days of traveling towards Magix, she slowly began regretting she ever came, wondering if it really was the right choice to make. I just have to trust mother's words … She thought as the car pulled into a long road, only to be stopped by a fortified wall. Exiting the car, she said goodbye to the driver, and gazed at the sight before her.

Alfea was simply beautiful, just as Keikyo had imagined it when she was young. She could recall being so excited for another story of her mother's teenage years in Magix, then dreaming later in the night of one day seeing it for herself.

Turning to watch the car drive, away, she averted her gaze towards the gate after she saw the car was out of sight. The gate was made enitrly of sheer material, each of the twin doors shaped into winged form, entertwined within the other.

As she stepped forward, Keikyo watched as the wings pulled apart, shimmering in the sunlight as they moved. An entryway was now revealed to her, showing a large school building in the distance which was surrounded by a series of gardens and a massive circling wall.

She then proceeded farther, passing by paragons containing beautiful flowers and bushes, seeing that she was of few that had arrived rather early.

Two girls entered the building as she strolled along the walkway, knowing that there were a large amount of girls attending the school, Keikyo was relieved to arrive before everything became chaotic. When reaching the building, she was surprised at how large it actually was, knowing that her eyes were playing tricks on her moments before.

Climbing the steps of the entrance's stoop, Keikyo suddently noticed a tall, gangly figure standing in the way of her and the school. The smile on the woman's face was sinister, her brown eyes almost seeming to show some sign of kindness, in order to somewhat conceal the crudeness of her nature. Holding a clip board tightly within her wrinkled hand, she re-adjusted her glasses on her nose with her long fingers before she finally spoke.

"Name?" Her voice cracked, the volume of the intesity of her words was extremely heightened, as if speaking over a large crowd of people. Keikyo felt nervous , not sure whether to answer or not, but instead gave her the paper of which she had been given through the mail, explaining to return it to the check-in on the first day of school.

Griselda examined the paper, then eyed Keikyo one last time before handing it back. Looking over the list of names, her hand trembled as she checked off the girl's name, now noticing with all the passing years, she wasn't as young as she used to be.

"After we get all of the girls checked in, which we'll announce over the intercom, Ms. Faragonda will like all students to report to the dining hall for lunch and an orientation." Griselda explained, handing Keikyo a somewhat small stack of papers. "Enjoy your stay at Alfea."

She smiled once again, making Keikyo more nervous than before and sending a chill down her spine. Returning a slight grin, Keikyo walked passed her with ease, feeling a relief upon her shoulders as she continued down the hall. I know I shouldn't act so mean, but she's just so creepy.

Griselda watched as the girl was nearly out of sight, adjusting her glasses once again before turning towards the door. Faragonda will surely be glad to see her.. She thought as she now stood once again in the hallway, only hearing the rasping breathing escaping her mouth.

Keikyo found a flight of stairs, climbing it with some difficulty as it seemed after time the weight of her suitcase increased. Looking down, she was only the next floor up from where she had began, sighing as she took another step, pulling her case into a tighter grip. After a time she started to wonder who indeed would be her roomates for the year, and whether or not if she knew them from the past, or was starting of with new friendships.

Pausing to take a breather after she climbed the final step of the staircase, Keikyo looked to her right, gazing out a window to see a glistening lake surrounded by a great wood. Out into the distance, another school resided there, the building rather tall and massive, guessing that it was the Red Fountain school for Heroics and Bravery, Keikyo continued down the hallway.

The corridor was quite large, stretching completely throughout the school, taking Keikyo several minutes before she found her dorm room. When opening the door, Keikyo slowly entered, her eyes fixated on the interior of the room. Placing her bag on the ground, she closed the door behind her, proceeding forward as she grazed her fingertips against the soft material of the sofa as she crossed the sitting room to the window to notice a sight of girls awaiting to enter the building before her eyes.

The line slowly moved, with every passing second another student entered through the gate and joined the others, causing the line to almost pass the gate and into the road. As the girls in the line waited, Keikyo looked at their faces, seeing if she could recognize any one of them, but unfortunately wasn't as lucky as she'd thought she would be.

Somehow when she knew at that moment it would be saddening for her, she instead was glad of the predicament. With all the people she knew thousands of miles away, she now had the opportunity to start out fresh, meet new people, and enjoy her last year of schooling at Alfea.

As turning back to face the room once more, Keikyo paused, suddenly caught off guard as she saw the girl's figure sitting peacefully on the couch. The girl's eyes were closed, her long bangs covering half of her face. On her ears, a pair of headphones were fastened on her head as the music from her mp3 player blared loudly, making it easy for Keikyo to clearly hear the words in the song.

Moving closer, Keikyo examined the girl, still not knowing exactly who she truly was. Never had she seen a girl dress in this form before, her attire consisting of black and red, her top but a simple T-shirt with faded markings on the front from several times of washing. As her coal khakis were ripped at the knees of each pant leg, with threads loose at the opened seams.

How come I didn't notice her before? Keikyo thought, watching as the figure before her barely moved, the chain of her necklace chiming as her chest rose and fell in a rythmatic tense. Somehow she looks familiar…

Closer now, Keikyo reached her hand towards the girl, attempting a slow approach in order to not frighten her. Her hand shook from the anticipation, as the figure still remained in its still position. "Is that you, Ashiyna?" Keikyo asked, pulling the girl's headphones off until they gently rested on her neck.

Ashiyna's eyes opened, the crimson pigment of the retinas flasing in the sunlight that poured into the room through the open window. She sat up slowly, brushing the few strands of red hair from her face, until she returned Keikyo's gaze.

After several moments, Keikyo smiled, bringing Ashinya out of her daze. At that moment, she saw Keikyo in a different light, seeing how mature she had become over the years. With eyes the color of sapphires, and raven hair to her lower back, Keikyo looked incredibly similar to her mother than ever before. Standing, Ashiyna turned off the mp3 player that was in her pants' pocket, "K-Keikyo?"

They both stepped forward, grabbing each other into a friendly embrace, seeming to last for a lifetime. "It's been so long," Keikyo whispered, smiling as the words escaped her mouth.

Ashiyna knew exactly what she had meant, knowing of how close they were long ago. She could recall when they would call each other sister, how they would spend every waking minute together, playing, and laughing. Until one day, it all changed.

When they were both about ten, Ashiyna remembered the calls she had made to get in touch with Keikyo, only instead after many attempts did the maid tell her that she was to break all connections with her best friend, to forget she even existed. After all this time, they were reunited once again, so that now, Ashiyna could question what exactly happened long ago.

As they broke apart, Keikyo felt as if she was being washed away by neverending waves of happiness, the feeling of loneliness completely gone from within her. Now knowing that Ashiyna would be by her side, as she was there for her, the year at Alfea was indeed one to remember.

Author's note: As you can see I've changed it up a little bit, giving the meeting between these two a longer text in the beginning chapter. Well hopefully after I babysit for the night I'll be done with the second chapter and post it up sometime tomorrow!

Next Chapter: A broken Winx Club.
