To answer a few questions. Yes, Daphne is the queen of Domino in this version and her children are Helena and Phillip. This is updated to include through season 6 (Granted, with the eventual escape of the Trix).


Previously on Vixen:

When Angel stepped off the royal ship and onto Alfea's grounds, she felt a shiver run up her back. This was it. She was really starting her magic school.
"Hi, I'm Princess Angel of Domino."
"My name is Kaida, I'm from Draco."
"I'm Emma of Jewel."
"Cicada from the realm of Insectus"
"My name's Trend."
"I feel that this year is going to be epic," Angel said. "And we need to commemorate this important point in history. Vixen."

Avery kept her eyes down. She overheard girls gossiping about her as she passed. She bit the inside of her cheek and kept walking, now allowing anyone to see her breath grow shallow.

Over at Cloud Tower, a trio of witches, compromising of Frosty, Ebony, and Bryony, were sulking at a fourth roommate. The three decided she would live on the shelf above the main room.

I need a man who takes the chance for the love the burns hot enough to last, so when the night falls, my lonely heart calls. Oh, I wanna dance with somebody. I wanna feel the heat with somebody. I wanna dance with somebody, with somebody who loves me. - "I wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" by Whitney Houston

Episode 2: Start of the Year Dance

"Attention, girls," Griselda said toward the end of her class on Friday the first week of school "I have an important announcement." After the number of years that Griselda had been teaching, she knew that it was useless to announce the dance at the beginning of the day, so each year, she waited until the last five minutes of her class.

"The cafeteria will be serving a strictly pizza menu from now on?" Cicada asked, and a few of the girls giggled.

"Oh, we're having an in-school spa installed?" Trend asked excitedly. That was met with a lot of the girls agreeing it was a great idea.

"Girls, quiet!" the deputy-headmistress snapped. The girls all quieted down. "Tomorrow we will be having our annual Start of the Year Dance, which will be attended by the Specialists of Red Fountain as well as the Witches of Cloud Tower."

The girls all gasped and squealed. "This is so exciting!" Trend smiled brightly.

"Wait, why the witches?" one girl asked.

"We are attempting to keep on good terms with the witches," Griselda said. "So, they are to be treated with respect." She clapped her hands to get their attention as a few girls were whispering again. "Now, this is a formal event, and you girls are to treat it as such. So, please, dress appropriately."

"Right-o!" Cicada said.

"Especially you, Cicada," Griselda said, eying the Insectus fairy.

As soon as class was dismissed, the Vixen girls returned to their dorm. They all pulled out their formal gowns. Trend walked into their common room and gasped. "Okay, this will not do."

"What's wrong?" Kaida asked. She wore a long blue kimono.

"Hey, it took me a long time to find any formal dress that looked even remotely okay on me," Emma said, wearing a yellow gown that fell just a little past her knees.

"You mean a dress that wasn't green," Trend said. Emma refused to make eye contact as the statement was true.

"Hey, I like my dress," Angel said, wearing a salmon colored gown with a few embellishments in blue. "I wore it to my cousin's party and everyone loved it."

"You've already worn it to a public event, Angel?" Trend gasped.

"Oh, horrid," Emma said, imitating Trend's tone. "How can you possibly use a dress more than once? What next? Wearing the same shoes twice?"

"This is serious… what is that?" Trend spotted Cicada in a tight black dress. She shook her head. "Nope, we're going shopping."

"When?" Kaida asked. "The dance is tomorrow."

"And I don't have a lot of money," Cicada said.

"I barely have any," Emma said.

"This is not up for discussion," Trend said. For the first time since they all met, Trend sounded absolutely serious, so they all agreed, though none of them planned to actually buy a dress.

"Why are we searching our closets again?" Bryony asked, angrily throwing a dress behind her, where it landed in a blue heap on the floor.

"Because Griffin has made it mandatory that we go to the stupid Alfea dance," Ebony said, turning around holding a green dress. She looked at it and frowned. "Why do I even have this?"

"Because you thought it looked good on you at the time," Frosty said from her desk chair, where she was spinning. A long blue dress was already laid out on her bed, even though the dance wasn't for another day. "And didn't I remind you both half-way through the summer that the dance would happen, like it does every year?"

"Yeah, but…" Ebony tried, but then just growled. She pulled out a green dress. "Can I borrow one of your dresses, Frost?" she asked.

"I only brought the one, so no," Frosty said.

"Here you go," Bryony called over and tossed her a crimson dress. "Now toss me the green one."

"Deal," Ebony said, looking at the dress Bryony had tossed to her. She slipped into it once tossing Bryony the green dress. It was long and hugged her curves, with a long slit in up the leg and beaded trim. Looking at herself, she smirked. "Do you think all the guys will want to dance with us again?" she asked, now satisfied with her outfit. The three were, after all, very pretty.

"Maybe you can snag a boyfriend," Bryony said, having slipped into the green dress, which was simpler, but showed a lot of leg.

"Without using any love spells," Frosty added, chuckling a bit before spinning around again.

Ebony sneered. "I don't need love spells to get the Red Fountain boys to dance with me."

"No, but you do need them for the ones you actually want to dance with," Bryony said.

"It's pitiful that we are stuck going to this dance," Frosty said. She sighed. "And all those boys that will demand my attention."

"Oh, now who's dreaming," Ebony said. She chuckled. "They all know that you don't even pay attention to their type."

"You two do know that you have delusions of grandeur passed on from your mothers, right?" Bryony said.

Trend led the girls through Magix without needing to consult a map or ask for directions. The other four were a bit confused, especially when she stopped and smiled. "We're here!" she said. She gestured to a store across the street.

They spotted a store with The Trend on the sign along with a posing silhouette of a woman, one arm straight up, and the other hand on the hip.

"What is that?" Emma asked.

"Oh, we don't have The Trend on Eraklyon," Angel said, before gasping and turning to her blonde roommate. "You're The Trend?"

"Well, duh," Trend said, leading the way to the doors. "I am the Fairy of Fashion and Glamour." She opened the doors and the others all stared in awe.

"You designed all these?" Kaida asked.

"Most," Trend said with a smile. "Others come to me with designs sometimes and I often collaborate with those. And Rafaldo does most of my jewelry."

"Rafaldo?" Emma asked. "As in the realm famous jewelry maker?"

"You know him?" Trend asked.

"Of him," Emma said. "He's Isis-born."

Trend cocked her head. "That would explain his brilliant ability to name a gem with just a glance. Most of the jewelry here is here to compliment the clothes, not the opposite way around."

"Trend, I can't afford any of this," Kaida said, looking at a simple dress.

"Honey, my presents to you," Trend said. "Now, each of you, to the fit in back. I've already called ahead for each of you."

"Wait, what?" Cicada asked. "Don't we get to pick out our own outfits?"

"Are you the Fairy of Fashion and Glamour?" Trend asked.

"Obviously not," Cicada said.

"Then, no," Trend said.

"Let's just go," Kaida said, urging Cicada along. However, when they got to the fitting rooms, which were already stocked with several dresses each, along with a bottle of sparkling mineral water and a small bowl of mints, each girl could only stare.

For Angel, she had a problem deciding which of the several dresses she wanted to wear, as she immediately wanted them all. For Kaida, she had never seen any dress so nice as the least dressy of the ones chosen for her, and just couldn't imagine receiving such an expensive gift. Cicada wasn't one for such nice clothes, and couldn't picture that she would look good in any, because she wasn't as thin and tall as the other girls. And then there was Emma.

"They're all green," Emma said. She glared at Trend. "I think I'll stick with the one I have."

Trend sighed. "Just try them on," she said. She grabbed a worker. "Isabella here will help you guys get dressed."

"Oh, most certainly, Miss Trend," the woman said.

Trend turned back to Emma. "I'll see if I can figure out a dress for you that isn't green, but try them on."

As the dance approached, the Vixen girls were getting more and more excited as they all got ready.

Kaida wore a midnight blue dress with a slight shimmer. It was designed to be a tube dress with a sweetheart neckline, but Trend added a sheer layer over the top that still showed the original dress, but modestly covered Kaida's shoulders. It fell with a wide skirt past Kaida's knees, and had a wide waist belt to show her curves. As the Draco fairy refused to take more than the dress, she had no jewelry on, but Angel had tied up the top layer of her black hair into a graceful bun, and she had a little pink on her cheeks and lips.

Cicada ended up in a bright red satin tube dress, with a bustled skirt so it only fell to her knees. Paired with it she had on silver flats to match a silver broach that was at the top of the skirt and the matching pendant on a necklace. Her hair took the most time, and she ended up just straightening it out until it was smooth.

Angel had been easy to pick a dress for. Unlike the other girls, who were hesitant to take even one dress, Angel had wanted all of them, and had purchased two aside from the one Trend was giving her. She ended up wearing a light pink dress with a long flowing chiffon skirt and a corset top that even had to be laced and tied in the back. She matched it with heels of the same color, and, after putting her hair up into an elaborate bun, her tiara. She was down-right giddy after getting dressed that she ended up having trouble with her make-up.

Trend, herself, was the one to actually wear green that night. She wore a sea green mermaid dress with beaded halter straps. She wore a few silver bangles on her left arm and put her hair up into large, loose curls. Despite her simplicity, she looked fabulous.

Finally, Trend had actually found a dress that was not green for Emma. Instead, the Isis fairy wore a silver strapless dress with a slanted black stripe along the torso, which curved around the waist from left to right. It had a slit in the side to make for easier movement, but was otherwise form fitting. Trend had taken over as Emma's hair and make-up artist, pulling the green hair into a high pony tail to highlight her high cheek bones and settled on just some black eye-liner and mascara, as Emma's coloring wasn't exactly made for make-up.

All five girls looked great, and they all were getting excited as the Red Fountain boys and Cloud Tower witches began to arrive. Angel, Trend, and Cicada raced out of the room, Emma and Kaida a little slower, though Emma's long stride brought her to the head of the group of fairies heading to the ballroom while Kaida had decided to lock up first.

Cicada arrived first of the Vixen girls, with Angel just behind her. They were not paying enough attention and the two girls ended up colliding with one of the Red Fountain boys, causing all three to topple over. Angel looked at the boy as Cicada immediately jumped to her feet, only to see a familiar face. It was the son of her mother's best friend, Prince Brandon of Solaria. He stood up, his blonde hair a little messier than she last remembered it, as apparently he allowed it to be messy when his mother and sisters weren't around. Angel had always had a bit of a crush on him, but had held back her feelings because his sister had always been her closest friend. He bent forward once he was standing and held a hand out to help her stand.

"You okay, Angel?" Brandon asked once she was back on her feet. She was surprised that he was smiling after the fall, but it looked like he hadn't been fazed at all. She could see a smile in his brown eyes and it made her feel a little warmer inside.

Angel nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"She did have you to cushion her, Brand," another familiar voice said with an unwavering cocky tone. Angel turned to look at Trine. Trine was the son of Diaspro and Duke Hector. He lived on Eraklyon and was often at the palace where Angel lived. Trine ran a hand through his spiked blonde hair and chuckled a little, winking a blue eye at a near-by fairy.

"Hello," Emma said, approaching. She looked at the two boys with her green eyes. "And, who are you?"

"Oh, these are Prince Brandon and Trine," Angel began introductions. "Guys, these are Emma and Cicada. We're in the same suite."

"Hey, Angi, forget someone?" a voice said behind her.

She turned her head to see two more boys she knew and she stepped forward giving one a hug. "Hey, Mech," she said. "How was your first week?" she asked a rather thin boy with brown hair and glasses over his aqua eyes.

Mech shrugged. "It could have gone better," he said. "I got a question wrong on one of my first tests and I don't really like my squad."

"What question?" Emma asked.

"About an advanced swordplay technique," Mech said. He was about to go on, but the last boy interrupted.

"What would you know about Specialist techniques, Green?" the boy asked. He had dark skin, nearly black hair and dark eyes. He stood tallest among the boys, and the only one that was actually taller than Emma in her heels, while Brandon and Trine were just about her height.

Emma smirked. "I'm not your average fairy," she said.

"Hello, Charm," Angel said. She turned to her suite mates. "These are Prince Charm of Andros and Mech. Mech is totally awesome and cool."

"You're probably the only person who has ever said that about him," Charm said. Angel retaliated with a quick jab at his ribs. He simply caught her elbow and laughed.

"Have you seen Phillip?" Angel asked, after prying her elbow free.

"How many Red Fountain boys do you know?" Cicada asked.

"Just five," Angel said. She looked at the boys expectantly.

"I believe he went with Helena to Earth," Charm said. "But, honestly, I don't know. When you're Saladin's favorite team, you can do anything you want."

"Hey you three!" The girls turned to see Trend dragging a male version of herself over to them. "This is my brother, Marvel. Marvel, these are Emma, Cicada, and my roommate Angel."

"Ah, my condolences," Marvel said. Emma laughed a bit at his comment.

"Hey, Marvel," Brandon said. They apparently knew one another, which surprised Angel slightly. Brandon then said, "We're on the same squad."

"Trend," Marvel said. "These are my squad members, Brandon, Charm and Trine. And Brandon's friend, Mech."

Trend smiled, making all four go weak in the knees, but just for a moment.

"You know," Charm said, taking a few steps closer to Trend. He took her hand and lightly kissed it. "I'm just an I-N-G away from being your Prince Charming."

"Knock that off, Charm," Marvel said. It was, after all, his little sister.

Cicada, who was feeling a little left out for once, looked around, then asked, "Where's Kaida?"

"Who knows,"Angel said, getting on her toes, but unable to see the girl as she was still shorter than most. Trend got on her toes as well, but didn't see their short friend.

Kaida had stumbled into a slightly dire situation. She had gotten stuck in a thick crowd and had been pushed from behind, accidentally colliding with Frosty. The ice witch stumbled, but upon gaining her footing, she had spun and stared down at Kaida.

"Who do you think you are?" Frosty yelled.

"I'm sorry," Kaida said, taking a step back, only to find that Bryony and Ebony were behind her. "I didn't mean to. Someone pushed me."

"Stupid freshman," Frosty sneered.

"Since we are more educated than she is, maybe we should teach her a lesson," Bryony suggested. "It would only be the responsible thing to do."

"You're absolutely correct, Bryony," Ebony said. Before Kaida could respond, all four were taken up into a shadow, reappearing out on the quad. The three witches were all dressed for battle.

"I'm Frosty," the ice witch said, stepping up, wearing light blue.

"Ebony," the dark witch said, and she wore dark red.

"And Bryony," the poison witch said, wearing forest green.

"We are known as Hex," they said in unison.

"Now, transform, fairy," Frosty demanded. "So we can say we gave you a chance."

Kaida hesitated, but when Frosty took a step toward her, Kaida yelled and transformed. She wore a golden kimono with red trimmings and red flats, her hair pulled into a tight bun.

"Take a Frost Bite!" Frosty yelled. A blue ice beam flew at Kaida from Frosty's hand. Kaida dodged then returned fire in the form of small colorful fireworks.

"Oh, dear," Trend said as the music began. The other three Vixen members turned the direction she was facing to see Kaida outside fighting Hex.

"We have to help her," Cicada said and began to lead the way outside.

"We'll, uh, be right back," Angel said to the boys before following.

"Leave her alone!" Emma demanded when they got outside.

Hex looked at the girls. "What are you freshmen going to do about it?" Bryony asked with a cackle.

"Let's show them," Angel yelled, throwing her hand in the air. "Let's go Vixen!" And with that, the four transformed.

Emma had on laced-boots up to her knees, a pleated skirt, and a cropped halter, all in a shimmering green along with emerald wings, while her hair was down and wavy. Cicada wore a brown tube tunic with brown sleeves not attached, cinched by a white belt which matched the white leggings and four white sheet ribbons, finished with brown sandals. She grew a beetle shell over her fly-like wings and her hair gained a lot of volume while two antennae grew from her hair line. Trend wore a light green toga shirt and a matching bubble skirt with strappy green sandals. Her hair curled and she had a small green tiara top her head. Finally, Angel wore a sleeveless light blue dress with matching platform ankle boots, her hair was in a stylishly messy bun and she had on a tiara much like her mother's.

"Now, get away from her," Emma yelled and shot large green energy blasts at each of the witches. The Hex girls managed to dodge, but Trend managed to catch up Ebony's and Bryony's legs in golden ribbons. Cicada shot spider webbing at Frosty, wrapping the ice witch in a sticky substance.

Angel shot a fireball at Ebony as the dark witch escaped the ribbon, and she was knocked to the ground. Bryony, however, grabbed the ribbon around her ankle and dripped down a poison to Trend, who was still holding the ribbon. Trend was shocked and released the ribbon, and the poison witch was set free. Cicada tried to capture Bryony like she had Frosty, but missed. Suddenly, Bryony was right in front of the insect fairy and the witch dug her nails into Cicada's arms, causing her to yell loudly. Cicada fell to her knees, then slumped to the ground, unable to move.

"I can't move!" she yelled. "Be careful."

By this time, Frosty had escaped the webbing. She flew at Emma, but was knocked from the sky by Kaida's fireworks. Distracted, but not more than a foot from Emma, the green fairy swung around a round-house kick, connecting it with Frosty's chest and creating an emerald binding around her arms and torso.

Finally, Angel faced off with Bryony. The girls each shot an attack at the other. Angel's Dragon Fire attack destroyed Bryony's attack and continued on at the poison witch. Knocked from the sky and clearly exhausted, the other three still standing Vixen surrounded Bryony and each shot off a small attack, knocking her out.

"Who's teaching who now?" Kaida questioned to the Hex girls as Trend and Emma tended to Cicada. Bryony's paralyzing poison began to wear off as soon as she had passed out, but Cicada was still a little shaky on her feet.

"Let's get back inside," Angel said looking into the windows. "It looks like the party is really picking up."

The five quickly made their way back inside and returned to their human forms, each looking just as beautiful as if they hadn't just been in a battle. As soon as they walked in, they began to look for the boys they had been talking to, mostly finding that the boys were already dancing with other girls.

It only took a second before a very handsome Red Fountain senior approached and asked Trend to dance, leaving another guy crestfallen as he had been hoping to ask her as well. Emma rolled her green eyes, and approached the guy, leading him to the dance floor, promising that he'd have a chance to dance with Trend.

"I'm sorry," Kaida said. "If it hadn't been for me, you girls would have someone to dance with."

"Who says I don't?" Cicada asked and pulled Kaida onto the floor, forcing the shorter girl into a sort of tango. This left Angel alone.

"Didn't think you'd be alone tonight," she heard a voice behind her. She turned to see Brandon smiling at her.

She smiled back quickly, politely. "I, well, I got distracted and well, yeah…" she stammered.

Brandon bowed slightly, extended a hand, and asked, "Well, then, may I have this dance, Princess?"

Angel smiled brightly at him. "Of course," she said, taking the hand he offered her.

The two walked onto the floor just as a slow song began. Angel smiled at Brandon as he took her waist and she rested her arms on his shoulders. They began to sway to the music.

The end of the dance was approaching quickly when three shaken witches stumbled into the hall. Frosty looked around and narrowed her eyes at the Vixen girls, but she didn't attack knowing it would land her in detention with Griffin for the next year.

"We need to get back at them," Bryony said to Frosty.

"Oh, we will," Frosty said. "And next time, we'll be ready for whatever they try to throw at us."

"Was wondering where you were," Trine said approaching the girls.

Ebony threw on a huge smile. After all, back in her civilian form, she was looking beautiful. "Are you asking me to dance?"

Trine chuckled, looked her over for a moment, and then looked around. "I think I could squeeze in a dance with you," he said, extending a hand toward her.

Ebony smiled and winked at the other two Hex before following Trine to the floor.

"Does nothing faze her when it comes to boys?" Bryony asked looking at Frosty.

"Not when it comes to Trine," Frosty said. She looked around, but didn't see any open guys. "I wish Phillip was here."

"Why? So he could turn you down again?" Bryony asked.

"He never turned me down," Frosty snapped at Bryony. "His sister did that before he could admit that he actually liked me." She held her nose up. "He's actually quite shy."

As the dance ended, one girl watched as all the boys began to make their way towards the exit. She had been a wallflower the whole night, though she was the only wallflower that could have easily danced with any of the several guys that had approached her to talk. She hadn't been shy, exactly, just a little anti-social.

One guy made a comment about her ears, another questioned whether her hair color was natural, and another just told her how pretty he thought she was, though he never bothered to ask her name.

In fact, she had only left her spot on the wall once to get some punch. As she approached, a boy with long, platinum blonde hair had been getting some of his own as well. She arrived just as he was finishing pouring a drink. She felt her breath catch as he looked up at her with his grey eyes and smiled.

"Punch?" he asked. She nodded. He grabbed a second glass and poured some for her, handing it to her. "Enjoy." Before she could get a word in, an older fairy came up to him and grabbed his arm. "You promised me a dance," she said, dragging him away.

Avery's eyes watched him all night, as he was polite and danced with a few girls. And she could have sworn that, as he left the room surrounded by his friends, he had glanced her way. However, once he was gone, she realized that she didn't even know his name.


Not many changes, though I changed the shopping scene a bit, and I had fun with Griselda trying to announce the dance. The fight scene is essentially the same. But, a few changes were made.

First, Trine actually danced with Ebony, and without a love spell. I'm gonna make a love triangle with those two and Trend, only in this one, his feelings for Ebony won't be entirely love spells (which isn't to say there won't be any).

Second, Frosty has, as far as I can remember, never shown any interest in the boys, aside from enjoying to torture Mech. This is the first time I've given her an interest in a guy. Still haven't met Phillip, but seeing as it was apparently Helena that always answered for him in regards to Frosty, finding out that Helena and Angel are related will only further cement her dislike of Angel.

As well, the witches are no longer The Bux, but rather Hex.

You may have noticed, I'm using Domino and Andros over Sparks and Tides.

Trend is now the Fairy of Fashion and Glamour. I added glamour to give a little more leeway with her powers. As of yet, the other girls powers haven't changed.

Also, scene at the end of the chapter added. I had eventually added the scene to the original story, though not for a while after I had first posted the story. But, a first meeting between Marvel and Avery.
