(This is the next morning.)
Layla looked around. "Where am I?" she asked herself. She looked at Piff, who was in her arms. Piff had just woken up, and was looking around as well.
Layla smiled. She saw a boy with brown hair and goggles. "Excuse me," she said, walking over to him, "But what's the name of this town?"
The boy looked at her like she was crazy. "You're kidding, right?" he said. When he realized her was serious, he said, "This is Shibuya, Japan. Are you new here or something?"
"Something like that," said Layla. "I'm looking for a girl with black hair and blue eyes, but I can't remember her name. Do you know her by any chance?"
"Well, one of my friends has black hair and blue eyes," said the boy. "Actually, three of them do, but only one of them is a girl. Although, one of the boys does look like a girl...Anyways, who did you say you were?"
"My name's Layla," said Layla.
The boy nodded. "Oh, okay," he said. "I'm Takuya. Nice to meet you."
Layla smiled. Don't tell me he already forgot he was going to show me his friend, she thought.
"Well, don't just stand there," said Takuya. "Come on! Maybe my friend really is the girl you're looking for." He turned and started walking to a park. Layla followed him.
"There you are, Takuya," said a boy with short black hair and blue eyes. He wore a red sweater under a green short sleeved shirt left unbuttoned and grey pants.
Standing next to him was a second boy, who looked just like the first. But this one had longer hair in a ponytail with a blue and brown bandana on his head. He wore a yellow t-shirt, a blue jacket, and navy blue pants.
Wow, he really does look like a girl, Layla thought.
"Sorry, Koichi," Takuya said to the first boy. He looked at the second boy. "Hey Koji, where's your girlfriend?"
Koji blushed. "Very funny," he said. "Ami's not here yet."
"Wait, here she comes!" said Koichi.
And he was right. Ami came running down a hill and over to Layla and the boys. "Sorry I'm late," she said. She looked at Layla. "Who's she?"
"I'm Layla," said Layla. "And this is Piff," she added as Piff flew over to Ami and landed on her head.
"Layla," Ami repeated quietly. She looked at Layla. Wait, that woman in my dream said to find a girl named Layla, she thought. I think this is her.
Layla looked at Ami. "I'm sorry, I don't know your name," she said.
"Oh, I'm Ami," said Ami.
"Ami?" said Layla. She nodded. "Yeah, you're the one I came here to find. You're supposed to come with me to Alfea. And I think the boys are supposed to go the Red Fountain, too."
"Why would we go to a red fountain?" asked Takuya. "And what's an alfea?"
Layla sighed. "There both schools," she said. "Boys go to Red Fountain to become heroes, and girls who go to Alfea learn how to use their fairy powers, among other things."
Ami laughed. "Fairy powers?" she said. It was obvious she didn't believe Layla. "You're kidding, right?"
Layla shook her head. "No, I'm not," she said. "Turn into your winx form."
"My what?" asked Ami. "I'm sorry, but I have no clue what you're talking about."
She doesn't know, thought Layla. "Just try," she said. "It'll be kinda hard for you, since you've never done it before or anything."
"Okay, then how do I do that?" Ami asked.
"Just focus on turning into your winx form," said Layla. Piff flew back over to her.
"Um, okay," said Ami, a bit nervously. She closed her eyes and focused on turning into her winx form, though she still had no idea what it was.
When she opened her eyes, she had changed. She now wore a purple sparkly one shoulder tank top, a matching knee-length skirt, and black ankle high heeled boots. Her hair was now up in a ponytail, except for her bangs and two sections of hair hanging down on either side of her face. Her wings were like Bloom's, but a very light purple.
"Whoa," said Takuya and Koichi.
Koji's mouth dropped.
Ami was surprised. She tried to look at her wings, but couldn't see them very well. "But this...this is impossible," she said. "I think I would have known if I was a fairy, or whatever."
"Not necessarily," said Layla. "Bloom told me that she didn't know she was a fairy for most of her life. She also didn't know she wasn't from Earth, but I'm sure you already knew that."
"What?" said Ami, shocked. "What do you mean?"
Layla covered her mouth. "Oops," she said. "I guess you didn't know. Well, yeah. You're not from around here, Ami."
Ami shook her head in disbelief. "How do I change back?" she said.
"The same way you turned into your winx form," said Layla. "Focus on turning back into your normal self."
Ami did as she was told. Once in her normal form, she turned and ran off.
"Oops," Layla said again. She turned into her winx form and flew after Ami. "Look, I'm really sorry," she said once she found Ami. "I thought you knew."
"Well, I didn't!" Ami replied angrily. "And I'm never turning into that...that thing ever again!"
"But you have to," said Layla. She turned back into her normal form. "You have to come to Alfea and learn how to use your powers."
"Why would it matter if I went or not?" Ami asked.
"To be honest, I don't really know," said Layla. "But I do know you'll be able to find out more about your real past if you come with me."
Ami sighed. "Alright, I'll go," she said reluctantly. "Are the guys really gonna go to this 'Red Fountain' place?"
Layla nodded. "Of course," she said.
"When do we leave?" asked Ami.
"As soon as you and the boys are ready," Layla replied.
