Rachel had been standing out in the courtyard for most of the night in deep thought. She wasn't quite sure what was going through Rosella's head or the witch, Splendora. A witch that could bring out the nightmares in people would be quite dangerous. They had witnessed only a taste of her power and Rachel feared that things would just get worse. This witch wasn't going to go away and something had to be done. Perhaps she was too hard on people, but that was really all she knew. After about another hour, she decided to make her way back the dorm. Walking in the room, she glanced at the girls and went straight for her room.

"Perhaps it is time that we got some rest." Catarina said.

"Yea, it's been a long day." Carmen replied as she stretched out a little.

With that, they all said their good nights and went to bed. Rosella was to share a room with Catarina, which she found to be quite relaxing. In another room was Carmen and Rachel, leaving only one empty room. They had all figured that it was reserved for some girls that had yet to arrive. That night, Rosella started having flashbacks of her home world. So many lives were lost when Splendora attacked. There were only a handful of people that had the unicorn horn. What Rosella didn't know was that once the horn was taken, there was a possibility of that person falling into a deep sleep or dying. It all depended on how weak they were at the time of their defeat. Rosella had been lucky enough to escape her realm before her horn could be taken, although she had lost a few friends. These flashbacks only caused her to toss and turn in her sleep. As a child, she had noticed a strange shadow watching her. No one else had been around and could not believe her story. To this day, she still has no idea who the mysterious figure was. The dream continued to go on until she was about to uncover it's identity. Right before she could make out who it was, she jumped up out of bed. All the noise caused Catarina to wake up and find out what was going on. After fully waking up, she took notice to Rosella and walked over to her.

"Are you alright Rosella?" Catarina asked. Rosella turned her head towards Catarina and slowly began to calm down.

"I'll be fine Catarina. It was just a nightmare."

"You don't have to tell me about it. Just know that you don't have to feel alone. Now you have friends that can help you face your fears. If you ever want to talk, all you have to do is ask."

Rosella could only nod her head as she laid back down. She wanted to talk about her dream, but decided that it could wait for another time. Catarina climbed back in bed and within minutes, both of them were sound asleep.

The next day they awoke and made their way to class. Everything had gone smoothly, except for Carmen setting one of her books on fire. She had gotten too excited and accidentally allowed some of her lava magic to land on her book. The table she had been sitting at was singed a little, but no one had gotten hurt from it. The mess itself had been cleaned up in a matter of seconds so there wasn't too much damage. Later that afternoon, the girls decided to head for Magix for lunch. They had made their way to a small cafe and took a seat at one of the outside tables. While waiting on the food, Rosella took an interest to the sky. She had been thinking about the dream from last night and seemed to block out everything around her. Hopefully they wouldn't become a daily thing for her. The day itself was bright and sunny with very few clouds in the sky.

Rosella was wearing a purple shirt with a tank top strap on her right shoulder and a longer sleeve that on her left arm, blue jeans, silver boots reaching a little below her knees with pink heels. The outfit tied in nicely with her pink hair that reached a little below her behind with silver streaks and light pink eyes. She was actually quite happy that it was daylight so no one would know that she had a horn. The horn itself only appeared at night or when she transformed, although, she had no idea about that. It was mere luck that Catarina didn't notice it the night before since she was too preoccupied with calming Rosella down.

Catarina, herself, was wearing a blue short sleeve shirt that showed her midriff, blue mini skirt, white capris and blue flats. Her hair, that that reached the center of her back, faded from a pale purple to pale blue to pale purple with blonde tips in her bangs and green eyes that sparkled like emeralds. She was always the calmest of her roommates and knew exactly what to say when one was feeling down. They were not an official group, but it was only because they barely knew each other.

Carmen had orange hair that extended to the top of her back and powder blue eyes. She was wearing a yellow tank top that showed her midriff, red pants, and orange boots with light orange heels. She could be a hot head at times and whenever she got too excited, had a tendency to set things on fire. Aside from that, she was a very fun-loving person and try her best to help anyone in need. While awaiting the food, she had been talking with Rachel.

"You should really try to be a lot nicer." Carmen said.

Rachel had all her attention focused on Carmen, trying to block out everyone else. "I know this Carmen. It's just that, I wonder how much Rosella is actually hiding from us."

"You can't expect her to tell us everything all at once. We've only known her for a short while and so far, you haven't really made a good first impression. She just needs time to gain more confidence and perhaps then she will tell us more."

Rachel sighed and looked down a little, trying to focus on the ground. She never meant to start anything and wanted to make things right. Her shoulder length blue hair blew in the breeze, almost hiding her light purple eyes. Today's outfit included a purple short sleeve shirt that formed a ruffled skirt like bottom with blue sapphires going down the front, light purple leggings and purple high heels. Accessories included a rose quartz necklace that reached down to her chest with a white bracelet. The bracelet itself had a single spike and a blue sapphire in the center.

"I will try to get along with her and I promise to apologize as well." Rachel said.

"Rosella." Catarina said while placing a hand on her shoulder. "Is there something on your mind?"

Rosella snapped back to reality and looked over at Catarina. "I was just thinking about last night. These nightmares could easily happen again and I'm afraid that Splendora will do the same thing here like she did to Revia. Perhaps if I had something to take my mind off of things."

Catarina smiled as their food arrived and chuckled a little. "I'm certain that we can find something that will help. We are friends after all and I would like to see you smile. Maybe meeting some of the Red Fountain guys will help."

The girls began to eat and chat about how their first day of class went. Rachel couldn't help but go on and on about Carmen's little incident, which started to annoy her. Carmen had to admit that it was a tad bit hilarious and laughed along with everyone else. Rosella found it quite relaxing to be able to sit and laugh with friends. In time, they would learn more and more about each other, growing even closer. Rosella wasn't too sure about meeting any guys like Catarina suggested, but she would at least give it a try. She knew that she had to get past her shyness and meeting boys was one way to help. Once everyone was finished, they headed off to a nearby park and sat down within a gazebo. For the most part, everything was peaceful and there was no sign of any danger. A few minutes later, the girls took notice to a Red Fountain ship landing nearby. Catarina could only smile before grabbing Rosella's arm and running over to it.

"Hold on Catarina." Rosella said while trying to catch her breath. "I'm not really sure about this. What if they don't like me? Or what if I embarrass myself?"

Catarina laughed a little and placed a hand on Rosella's shoulder. "There's no reason why they wouldn't like you. I am going to help you get rid of your shyness and this is the first step. It's not the end of the world if things go wrong. And besides, I'll be right here beside you."

Rosella began to calm down and smiled as the other girls walked up beside them. "I wonder who we will meet. And you're right Catarina. I shouldn't be so afraid of everything, but I can't help but be cautious."

"It's only natural to be cautious around boys." Rachel said while standing beside Rosella. "And Rosella, I'm sorry for last night. I didn't mean to get angry with you."

Rosella could only smile at Rachel before saying anything, "It's alright Rachel, I forgive you. I wasn't trying to make anyone upset at all. Now, let's find out who we are dealing with."

At that moment, the ship's door opened up and out walked three guys. The first had short orange hair that almost reached to the end of his neck with bangs hanging part way over his light blue eyes. He wore a red shirt with short orange sleeves and a yellow outline, faded red-orange capris, and black boots with a red outline.

The second to walk out was a slightly older looking male with powder blue hair reaching the center of his back that faded into a darker blue and baby blue eyes. One strip of his hair was attached to a powder blue bead that hung over his shoulder. He was wearing the standard uniform with light blue boots and a sky blue clasp attached to a blue cape. The girls, along with the first male, all wondered why he was wearing the school uniform instead of casual clothes.

A few minutes passed before the third male walked out and appeared to be a little shy. He had short blonde hair that reached just below the ears and blue eyes. A section of his bangs seemed to be a little thicker than the rest and stuck out a little further. The boy seemed to be the youngest of the three males and a surfer by the look of his outfit and tan skin. He wore a sleeveless black diving top, light blue pants with a wave like pattern, and black sneakers with blue laces.

Once all the males were out, they gave the girls a smile and stood in front of them. The orange-haired one was the first to speak up and seemed to be in a cheerful mood. "Well this wasn't exactly what I expecting." He chuckled a little and glanced over at Carmen. Before long, he made his way over to her and took her hand. "The color of your hair shows just how much you shine. You can call me Rexx and I would love the honor of being your date for the evening."

Carmen blushed a little as Rexx took her hand and couldn't help but chuckle at his next words. "Well, aren't you the charmer. My name is Carmen. I can sense a fire within you. Let me guess, you are from Zevia." At the mention of Rexx being her date, she started to blush a even deeper red.

Rexx smiled and released Carmen's hand. "You can tell where I'm from just from a single touch. That's a pretty neat trick if you ask me."

"It's not that at all." Carmen said. "I'm from Zevia as well so I can tell if others are from there as well. Don't tell me that you forgot all about me. We were childhood friends after all."

Rexx was a little embarrassed that he didn't recognize his friend and rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry about that Carmen. You look so different from when I last saw you."

Catarina and Rosella chuckled to themselves and turned their attention to the other guys. They had already learned the name of one guy and it was time to meet the other two. Rachel sighed at Carmen's reaction to Rexx and shook her head a little. The older male sighed and turned his attention to the other girls. "Please forgive my friend over there. He just can't control himself sometimes. My name is Gale and it is a pleasure to meet you all."

Catarina smiled and thought that Gale was really cute, although she didn't show any sign of it. "It's quite alright Gale, my friend is the same way. I am Catarina and this is Rosella. She's a little shy around new people."

"I am not that shy Catarina." Rosella said. 'And you said that this was exactly what I need to boost my confidence.'

Rachel couldn't believe what Catarina had just said. She could easily tell that Cat was interested in Gale and believed that to be reason behind it all. It was her idea to help Rosella get past her shyness and she was not helping one bit. "Catarina, I'm sure that Rosella could have handled things herself. It's one thing to boost confidence and another to embarrass someone. I'm Rachel by the way."

Catarina blushed a little upon realizing what she had done and turned away from everyone. "I'm sorry Rosella. I shouldn't have said that."

Rosella laughed a little and glanced at Catarina. "It's alright Catarina. I don't mind one bit that you said that. It is true after all, but you should at least let me try next time." Turning her attention to Colton, she had to wonder if he was like her. The boy seemed almost familiar to her and she wanted to know why. "Who's that?"

Colton had hung back from the group and tried to focus on everything else around him. It was true that he was quite shy, but he still wanted to meet new people. His shyness tended to act up a little more when he was around girls. Gale and Rexx had invited him to come out and see if they could meet some girls. It was more like Rexx dragged them along just so he could get some time away from the school. Colton only agreed to come because he wanted to see the city.

Gale glanced over his shoulder at Colton and smiled a little. "That's Colton. He's a little shy around girls." Gale said. "Let me see if I can get him to come over." With that, he turned and walked over to Colton. "Come on buddy and meet these girls."

With a sigh, Colton slowly made his way over to the girls and stared at the ground. "H-Hi. I o-overheard your n-names s-so you d-don't have t-to tell me. And y-you already know m-my name."

Rosella smiled and placed a hand on Colton's shoulder. "It's alright Colton. I understand just what you're going through. It's alright to be a little afraid, but with time, I'm sure that you will be able to have more confidence to talk to people. I should know, I'm a little shy myself."

Colton looked up at Rosella and smiled a little. "Thank you. I w-will try to be more c-confident."

"Well now that we got the introductions out of the way," Rachel said. "How about we just take a walk around the park?"

Rexx was the first to speak up before anyone else could get a word in. "Sounds great to me. That is as long as I get to walk with my best friend Carmen."

Carmen laughed and flicked Rexx in the forehead. "I'd like that."

Rosella nodded as she walked beside Colton and Gale. Catarina and Rachel was on Gale's other side, trying to get some distance away from the two hot heads in back. For the most part, the walk was quiet and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Carmen and Rexx were too busy talking about everything they did as kids.

"Those two are really getting along quite well." Rachel said.

Catarina glanced back at Rexx and Carmen, smiling a little. "I think that they both are a little too hyperactive. You can easily tell that they are friends by the way they act."

Rexx and Carmen stayed a few feet away from the others, talking about their childhood. Carmen was the first to bring up memories, "We really used to frighten the other kids. I still set things on fire every now and then. Do you remember the day that I discovered my powers?"

Rexx laughed and stretched out a little. "How could I forget that day? You ended up melting one of the park benches and scared the crap out of the other kids. I can remember many different times when you set something on fire or melted things. Your volcanic powers were always fascinating."

Carmen smiled and went on with what she was saying. "I actually set a book on fire in class today. It was enough to singe the top of the table. Luckily, the teacher was able to put it out before anyone got hurt."

"It's nice to see Rexx with someone that doesn't find him a little annoying." Gale said. Colton sighed and smiled just a little bit.

"He may get annoying at times, but he's still a great friend to have. Rexx has been helping me improve on my fighting skills."

Gale laughed and stared up at the sky. "I've never seen anyone so hyperactive and yet so talented with a weapon. He is a good friend that will always come running to your aid."

"Rexx is from Zevia." Rosella said. "May I ask where you two are from?"

Rachel and Catarina glanced over at the two specialists, wondering exactly the same thing. Rexx had been the only one to announce, or at least verify, where he was actually from. It was actually Carmen that pointed it out in a matter of seconds.

Gale brought his attention to Rosella and smiled. "Well I'm from Marella, the realm of wind. I can use the wind to increase the power of my weapon."

Colton smiled and awaited for Gale to finish speaking. "I am from Revia and no, I'm not a unicorn."

Rosella, Catarina, and Rachel couldn't believe what they were hearing. The had not expected to meet another person from Revia. No one was sure how many escaped the planet, although it would appear that at least two made it. Catarina and Rachel turned their attention to Rosella in order to see her reaction.

Rosella stopped where she was with a look of complete shock on her face. She didn't know of anyone that had survived the attack on her home. "No wonder you seemed familiar Colton. I'm also from Revia. It's nice to see someone else from home. I never knew who all survived."

Colton turned to look at Rosella and spoke low enough so only she could hear. "You're a unicorn aren't you? I could tell that there was something different about you. I'm happy that we were able to meet."

Gale turned his attention to Colton and smiled. It was nice to know that there was someone he could relate to. In his eyes, Rosella seemed like the type to hide rather than fight. A fairy that couldn't fight, or wouldn't, was a danger to herself. In that instant, he knew exactly who could help learn to stand up for herself. "I know someone that can help with that confidence booster. He's not here right now, but I'm sure that you will meet soon."

Rosella nodded and walked with Colton back to the others. It didn't take long for Carmen and Rexx to catch up at all. "I would be happy to meet this person Gale. Thank you."

"We should get going now." Rexx said looking at the sky. "It's getting late and we need to get back to school. You girls should really leave as well. I had fun with you all."

Catarina nodded and stretched out. "It is late and we have early classes tomorrow."

"How about we give you girls a ride back to Alfea?" Gale asked.

Carmen just about jumped for joy at the question and smiled. "That would be great. I really don't feel like walking to the bus stop."

The girls nodded their heads and followed the boys back to their ship. Rosella wasn't quite sure what to make of everything and stared out a nearby window. Once everyone was settled, they took off to Alfea. After saying goodnight, the girls walked back to their dorm as the guys left. It had been a long day so the girls decided that it was time to turn in for the night. "Well, I feel a little better." Rosella said while climbing into bed. "Meeting the guys was a great idea and I'm really happy that I met someone else from Revia."

Catarina smiled as she laid down and looked over at Rosella. "That's what I'm talking about. You did great today Rosella. Just think about the guys if you feel those nightmares return."

Rosella could only nod at Catarina before drifting off into a deep sleep. Once the sun had finally set, her horn appeared and shined like a rainbow. For the rest of the night, her nightmares did not haunt her dreams one bit. All she could think about was the great day she had with her friends. It was a bit of shock to her that Rachel apologized without any problems. Meeting the guys had made the day even better and time seemed to fade away. For the first time in what seemed like forever, she actually felt safe and believed that her friends would guide her.

Splendora's Base

Splendora had watched the girls go about their day in Magix City and smirked. "Those specialists will be a problem. I can't allow them to interfere."

Within seconds, another woman's voice could be heard. "Allow me to get rid of them mistress. Those pathetic boys won't know what hit them."

"Oh please. I could easily deal with them myself and capture that fairy as well." A male voice said.

Splendora grew quite annoyed at the two and with a snap of her fingers, made the viewing orb disappear. "Patience. You will both get the chance to deal with them all. But first, we must create some tension between their friendships. We can not allow Rosella to gain courage. For the time being, we will wait and see what else we can find out about them." Chuckling, she disappeared into the darkness and out of sight.
