I am SO sorry for not updating soon. For some reason, my computer wasn't working (now it is) and my laptop just got fixed, not to mention I am suffering from a major case of writer's block. But now I'm back and it's the holidays! I'm probably going to be out most of the time and going places but I have way more time now with school over. Hopefully I'll have way more time to update all my stories. This chapter is quite boring as it has loads of detail and there's not much going on but it tells you a lot about Stella and her past.
Now, on with the story...
Obnoxious Relatives, Date Drama and Nosy Media
Stella POV
After a few more rounds of Truth or Dare (remind me to never play it with this lot EVER again) we decided to watch some movies before calling it a night. After a few moments of arguing, we all finally agreed on watching a film called Grown Ups from the collection Bloom gave to me from Earth. The movie is really funny, why haven't I ever watched it before?
Once the movie was finished, everyone decided to go back to their rooms because it was nearly 1 am when I suddenly remembered that the Sun & Moon Festival is very soon. It's the day where the whole kingdom gets together and celebrates. No shop is opened because everyone has work off to attend the festival with their family and friends. Not only do all of Solaria celebrate but lots of important people and royalty come to visit too. It is the biggest event in all of Solaria history and happens once every 2 years on the longest day of the year, so normally in June. My parents are the key people, seeing as they are not only the King and Queen but my mum has the power of the moon whereas my dad has the power of the sun. I took mostly after my dad not only in appearance wise but powers too as I'm the fairy of the sun mostly but the moon too.
The next morning I got up at 9 am by myself surprisingly and had a nice long shower washing my hair as well. By the time I came out it was nearly ten so I used magic to change into my outfit quickly and sprayed my Sunshine perfume by Star Masons (A/N: I tried to change make it sound like 'Daisy' by Marc Jacobs but failed epically) a famous designer here on Solaria.
I was wearing a stylish black and white lace mix dress with a pair of white sandal heels. I had on lip gloss which was the same colour as my lips and white nail polish for my nails. I put on some white stud earrings and a black and white bracelet then grabbed my small Michael Kors bag and headed downstairs to the big dining room where a breakfast buffet as usual was laid out on the table. I saw that my parents where the only ones seated at the table I think the others are still asleep.
It was quite strange because my parents were arguing especially at a time like this. What would they be fighting about? I don't know if I ever told you this but during my freshman year my parents had a divorce and during my junior year my dad got re-married to Count Cassandra who is just as evil as her daughter Chimera. They somehow managed to spell my dad and controlled him but I managed to break it with help from the girls. After a while, finally during the end of my senior year they got back together and have been inseparable since. I just hope nothing like that happens again. I just shook my head and cleared my throat making them both realise I was there.
"Good morning darling," my dad greeted with a smile.
"Morning Daddy,"
"Did you have a good sleep last night?" my mum asked. "Yeah fine Mum," I said taking a bite of my croissant.
"So when's the festival happening? I still haven't informed the girls, speaking of which where did their parents go?" I asked taking a sip of my orange juice. "They had to go home after all they do have kingdoms to rule," my dad said with a laugh.
"Did you really think they were going to stay the whole summer?"
"But don't worry they'll be here for their festival which is towards the end of the month or so," my mum said. After a few minutes Tecna came downstairs, she's usually up the earliest however Layla normally wakes up extra early to go for a run but I think she's still tired from yesterday.
"Morning Tec," I chirped as she took her seat next to me. She was all fresh and dressed in similar clothing to me. "Good morning Tecna," said my parents. "Morning," she said.
We chatted for a while as the girls one by one came down stairs. The boys didn't even bother to wake up and bring their lazy asses downstairs as per usual. Once we were all finished my parents got up.
"Stella your Aunt Diana is going away for a bit but will be back in time for the festival," my mum said.
Oh god, please don't tell me...
"Meaning Celina will be staying with us for a while, isn't that great? It will be a perfect opportunity for you guys to bond before the festival. The last thing we need is for our two princesses arguing during the time of joy and happiness," my dad scolded," Every time you see each so don't disappoint me Stella."
Celina is my obnoxious, bratty, spoilt cousin.. She's related to me because unfortunately her mum and my dad are siblings causing us to be first-cousins.
"Of course not," Disappointing my parents was one of the last things I wanted. For me it was one of the worst things, ever.
"Your mother and I are very proud of you we know you'll grow up to be a great queen someday," my dad said kissing me on the forehead as he and my mum enveloped me in a hug. I beamed and hugged them back.
"We have a meeting with festival planners they are arriving soon so we better get going,"
Once they left the dining room I went upstairs with the girls to my room. My bedroom is big and by big I mean huge. The theme is mostly orange, white, yellow and pink but it included a wide range of colours. At one side of my room there was a platform leading to my king-sized bed which had sheer curtains. I had whole area which was like a mini living room with a 65 inch TV and a few sofas, beanbags and what-not. The far wall opposite the door was a window wall. The type with the glass doors which lead to my balcony. It was one of my favourite places to relax. It had an amazing view but my closet is even better. It technically isn't part of my room because at the far corner of the room was a set of stairs which lead to top floor where my closet/room was. I spent most of my time there sketching my designs whenever I'm in my room or using the sewing machine. My closet was mostly full of my clothes, make up, jewellery and accessories but I made sure to leave a big enough space for my designing. I would really love to be a fashion designer but seeing as I'm next in line for the throne I don't see that happening so I may as well as use the opportunity I have now (because I doubt that my parents will be stepping down from the throne anytime soon) to make a boost in my fashion career. I model for a few labels every now and then but I devote most of my time to design. I have sold a few of my designs in shops around Solaria. I visit all the fashion shows I can in my spare time to get inspiration every now and again but now I finally have enough designs so I can host a fashion show for my label. The girls already agreed to model for me and I myself shall be modelling some.
I've gone off topic...Anyway, I have a large collage that nearly covers my entire wall full of pictures and memories of everyone in my life. A large amount of it was pictures of myself, my parents and the winx. The rest was of my other friends and relatives. The rest of my room was just the normal stuff like a desk, computer and that crap including my private bathroom.
"Go on Solaria Today, like now," Tecna said as she came across something.
"Why?"
"We are on the news!"
"We?"
"Well us and the guys...it's a topic about 'marriage'," Tecna said putting air quotes on the word marriage.
"Well that's just dandy!" Musa exclaimed.
"Shh!"
"Good morning and this is Serena. Today we bring up the topic about the relationship between the famous Winx and their new fiancés the Specialist. The Winx attended Alfea and were the most famous fairies seeing as they saved the Magic Dimension multiple of time while at the same time the boys attended Red Fountain only a year ahead of them and were the strongest team of Specialist. How is it that they never met? Did they really just meet and connect over one night? Or did they have a past together? Rumour has it that the marriage was arranged even though the King and Queen of Solaria said the marriage was of their own choosing. Despite being together for quite a while the couples are yet to be seen out in public together. Is it really true that on their first encounter they saw nothing but hate for each other? But the million dollar question is. Do they really like each other or are they doing for the good of their kingdoms? What will become of-"
"Stella!"
"I couldn't take it anymore, who are they to judge?" I said," even though some of the stuff they said is true."
"How are we going to keep up our public-"
We were interrupted by a very loud knock on the door. Before I could even think about answering the boys came in like a herd of animals. I guess you could say we are on good terms right now despite the whole servant thing which is according to them will start in the next few days. Better brace myself for weeks of hard labour and torture. I don't do much manual labour and I don't make my maids do it all either or else I'll feel bad.
"Did you see?!" Brandon exclaimed.
"Well naw," I said motioning to the TV.
"What are we going to do?"
"What is there to do?"
"I don't know maybe we could just go out on like a dinner date or something later," Bloom said.
I raised an eyebrow and nudged her smirking hinting that she wanted to go on a dare with Sky.
"No stupid, I mean as in to keep up the public image," Bloom face-palmed.
"Yeah thinking about it we haven't been out since who knows other than shopping and the norm," Layla said.
"So 6 o'clock later tonight meet up in my room, we will teleport from here," I said.
As the boys began to leave Bloom said to me quietly," and Sky? Really Stell? He would be the last guy I would date on Earth."
"But we aren't on Earth," Tecna said slyly.
"Yeah well you know what I mean," Bloom said.
"But you are dating him," Musa added.
"Urgh! You know what, I give up! I'll never win with you guys," Bloom fell onto my bed frustrated as we laughed at her.
"You got that right!" Layla said.
"Do you guys want to hang at the pool? I'm so bored, I know we'll be going later but just for a while," Flora said.
"Sure!" I said.
"I'm up for it," Tecna said.
"Well duh," Musa said.
"Definitely," Bloom said.
We all turned to Layla.
"Did you even have to ask?"
I was sunbathing in my orange bikini with white star and moon symbols with a white sarong on the deckchairs with my sunglasses on my head. I was chatting to Bloom, who was wearing a similar outfit with a blue bikini with flame patterns and a red sarong and sunhat. I had my hair in a high tight bun while Bloom left hers out with one Tecna was on a float reading a booking sporting a purple bikini top and some white shorts with a smaller float with a drink next to her. Musa had her legs in the water and was wearing a red bathing suit. She was listening to music through her IPod and earphones bopping her head to the music. Layla was wearing a black bathing suit with small blue wave designs and doing flips and tricks from the diving board. Flora was swimming peacefully wearing a pink bathing suit with flower patterns until Layla splashed her with water resulting to a water fight which caused Musa and Tecna to get wet and join in.
Bloom looked at me with a devious smirk and I knew exactly what she was thinking of after all great minds think alike.
"You thinking what I'm thinking,"
"Of course,"
"We shouldn't,"
"Shall we?"
"We shall,"
We climbed into the pool without them realising and I used magic to make freezing cold water appear above them and let it go.
"!"
"And don't forget ice!" Bloom yelled laughing.
"Holy shit!"
"Shoot!"
"What the-"
"Fuck," Tecna finished for Flora.
Their eyes slowly travelled towards us.
I squeaked.
"Run!"
The girls began to chase us into the palace causing Bloom to slip and grab my leg and I grabbed Flora's who grabbed Tecna's who grabbed-You get what I mean.
We were all on the floor sliding down the slippery hallway heading smack bam towards the guys who also ended up falling.
"Err,"
Awkward silence...
We all tried to get up from our uncomfortable positions but failed and ended up falling once again.
"O. M. G!" squealed a very familiar high pitched voice. I mentally face palmed.
"My god," I heard Flora said.
I quickly got up from our position and we helped each other up.
"Stella!" she said with faked enthusiasm hugging me tightly.
"Celina," I said hugging her back.
Don't get me wrong I love Celina and all. She is my cousin after all but sometimes, who am I kidding, I mean all time she is over the top. She is really pretty but don't let her appearance fool you it's her personality. We attended middle school together along with the girls and you could say we were kind of rivals at the time but now we've matured (at least I hope). (A/N: The attack on Domino was stopped so Bloom wasn't sent to Earth in my version but Daphne was cursed. The girls were home-schooled for Elementary school then they met during middle school which was on Solaria. They attended Alfea together and the Trix, Darkar and Valtor things did happen without the boys if it makes sense.)
She has long dirty blonde air with bright green eyes and had the same skin tone as me. She is nearly as tall as me and is slim. Seeing as she is my cousin she has great fashion sense. She was dressed in a black skater skirt, a white button up with a leather jacket and a pair of pumps.
"Girls!" she exclaimed hugging each of them."
"Nice to see you again,"
"Long time no see,"
"Hey,"
"Good to see you,"
"Hi Celina,"
"And who may you be?" she said eyeing the boys.
"Prince Helia and these are my friends Prince Riven, Timmy Sky, Nabu and Brandon," Helia said kissing her hand. What a flirt.
"Princess Celina, Stella's cousin," she said shaking his hand. What do you know, she really has matured," You must be their fiancés."
"I suppose so," Helia mumbled.
"What was that?" Celina said inspecting her nails.
"Yes, I'm Flora's fiancé," Helia said.
"You seem like the arty, mysterious types perfect for our Flora," she said judging by past experience.
"Is that so?" Helia said looking at the slightly blushing Flora.
"Of course, you remind me of Jake, one of her old boyfriends but then you look like-"
"Travis, Chris, Richard could you please take Celina's luggage to her room," I said saving Flora from the embarrassment.
"Of course Princess," They began to take Celina's luggage to her room but she had too much.
Flora made a spell making them extremely light to carry.
"Thank you, Princess Flora," said Travis.
"No problem,"
"I better get going, Bye lovebirds!" Celina said pushing past the servant and walking up the stairs.
"So Flora..." Helia said putting his arm around her," I heard-"
"Don't flatter yourself Helia, just because you're my type doesn't mean I will like you at all," Flora said taking his arm of her shoulder and walking off causing the guys to 'ooh!'.
"Not cool Helia!" said Layla as we followed Flora upstairs.
"He is such a jerk," Flora said angrily.
"They all are,"
"That reminds me we need to get ready do you know what time it is?" I asked.
"5: 20,"
"Shoot, we have 40 minutes," I said.
"I'm gonna get dressed," Musa said.
"Same," Tecna said.
"Meet too," Layla said.
"Same here," Flora said.
"I need to figure out what to wear," Bloom said.
I headed to my closet room and went to dress section and pulled out a selection of formal dresses suitable for dates. I decided on a knee-length black and crème dress with a pair of black slip-on open toe Louboutin heels. I put on diamond earrings and a matching necklace. I wore nude lipstick with black eyeliner and mascara. I wore a light shade of baby pink blush since there was no need for foundation. I painted my nails and toenails crème using magic. I grabbed one of my black Michael Kors totes and went downstairs only to find everyone already there messing about.
"Looking good Stell!" Musa said.
"You too!" I said examining everyone's outfits.
"Don't I always!" Musa joked striking a pose. She was wearing a red knee length military drape dress with a pair of matching heels and clutch.
"In fact we all look great,"
Tecna was wearing a midi dress which was white to her waist then had a thin black line and the rest of the dress was a sort of grey pattern. She wore a pair of white open toe heels and a sparkly silver clutch. Flora was wearing a black and blue scuba wrap dress with a pair of black open toe heels and a shiny black clutch. Layla was wearing a midi green stretch knit dress with black heels and matching clutch. Bloom was wearing a Spella McCartney blue one shoulder stretch dress with a pair of glittery silver heels and matching silver clutch. The boys all seemed to be wearing suits. Brandon was wearing a black suit with a silver tie and black dress shoes. Nabu was wearing a dark grey suit with a black tie and matching dress shoes. Helia was wearing a black suit with a black bow tie and matching shoes. Timmy was wearing a dark, dark grey basically black suit with a dark grey tie and matching black dress shoes. I could tell by the design it was Givenchy. Sky was wearing a black suit and matching dress shoes with a blue bow tie. Riven was wearing a black suit and black dress shoes with a red and white tie. They all wore white shirts underneath.
Just as we were about to leave the boys all pushed Helia forwards who in return glared at them.
"I apologise for my behaviour, it was totally uncalled for and unlike me-" Helia began.
"So basically you're sorry for being a jerk," Flora said. Helia nodded.
"Fine you're forgiven," Flora hesitated as everyone looked at her shocked.
"But on one condition, just like Layla, I don't have to be part of the deal no longer,"
"I don't know," Helia said causing Flora to look at him.
"Fine!" he said reluctantly," can we go now?"
They all turned to me but I was busy filing my nails.
"What!" I said.
"Portal?"
"Oh right, Solaria!" My ring turned it my spectre and landed in my hands.
"Transportus!"
I decided to take us to a fancy famous restaurant in Solaria. It was called Luna named after my mum. It was one of the main restaurants in Solaria and was quite packed. Luckily there is a Royal section specifically for my family and other royals. My parents and I always visited this place. We had many good memories of this place...
"Table for 12 please," I said to the waitress.
"Of course your majesty," she said bowing.
"No need for that," I smiled at her.
The waitress named Helena guided us to a large table on an open balcony where you can see the sunset. The table was decorated beautifully. I took I seat in between Tecna and Flora across Brandon and began to read my menu. We all ordered our starter.
"Can I have 12 glasses of fresh juice, 1 large bowl of wedges, 1 basket of breadsticks and a fruit salad?"
"What type of juice?" Helena asked writing it done.
"I'd like orange," I said.
"Same here,"
"I think Mango,"
"Apple thank you very much,"
"Mango,
"I'd like Tropical,"
"Mango thank you,"
"Mango too,"
"I would like Apple,"
"Tropical please,"
"Another Tropical,"
"Orange juice,"
"So that's 3 Orange, 4 Mango, 3 Tropical, 2 Apple, am I right?" Helena said.
We nodded.
"Your food will be ready in a few minutes,"
"These wedges are so delish," Layla said after our food had arrived.
"I hear you on that one," I said as I ate another.
"The juice takes like heaven," Musa said taking a sip from her Tropical drink.
"Couldn't have said it better myself," Flora said.
We waited and spoke a while whilst people kept coming up to us greeting us. Suddenly I saw a flash from a camera.
"I have a feeling the paparazzi are here," I said quietly.
"I guess that isn't such a bad thing since we need proof, but if they come and start pestering us I will not hesitate to get rid of them," Riven said.
"I guess,"
Our main meal had arrived and boy was it great. I had ordered lasagne with salad. The chefs are really amazing.
"I don't think I will be able to eat dessert," Tecna said.
"Really that's a shame because I just ordered your favourite, Red Velvet cake," I smirked knowing her reaction.
"You know I think I could eat a bit more actually," Tecna said as the dessert arrived.
Just as we began to finish, there were more bright flashes and suddenly a reporter arrived in a helicopter. A HELICOPTER! Really are they that desperate.
"Let's get out of here," Nabu said as we began to leave.
"Princess Stella! Is it true-" I heard in the background as we began to leave the restaurant.
"We'll pay," Timmy said.
"We are?" Sky said.
"We insist," Brandon said before we could object.
"Whatever," I said as me and the girls sat in the lobby waiting on the boys.
"Stella!" I heard someone call my name. I squinted my eyes to see who it was. It was Eric.
Oh joy, this is what I get for dating so many guys...
"Hey," I said as he hugged me.
"Where you been? You haven't called me ever since the break up," Eric said.
"I've been...places," I replied.
"I heard you've been busy saving Magix. I guess this is what I get for dating a famous hero," Eric said not realising his mistake.
Awkward.
"I meant...you know what I meant," Eric said.
I looked towards the girls.
"I think I hear the boys coming," I said.
"No they aren't back yet, go talk to Eric," Bloom smirked as Layla pushed me back towards him.
"Boys?" Eric questioned.
"Oh you didn't know, we all got engaged recently," Tecna said.
"Oh right, my bad, I better get going," Eric said about to leave.
"What's the sudden rush?" Layla asked then John, Eric's brother whom I dated before I was with Eric, came.
"Eric where have you-"John stopped realising I was there," Why are you with her? If you haven't realised she is the reason why we fought not to mention she's engaged now so you have no chance."
John thought I couldn't hear but really I could. I shot the girls some distressed glances who in return gave my pitiful looks. You are probably wondering why I dated two brothers. First of all I dated John for about 2 weeks who is 2 years older then Eric and I but we broke up because we just weren't made for each other. A few months later I met Eric not knowing he was John's brother and we dated a few months until he bought me to meet his family. Eric knew full well me and John dated before and kept me a secret from John and vice versa. We both found out causing John and Eric fight and Eric and I argue resulting to a break up. I actually liked Eric but then he lied to me and it made me feel like a total slut because I believed it was my fault they were fighting another reason why I broke up with him because if we carried on dating it would cause them to hate each other and I couldn't have that. Now I meet them both at the same time while on a date with my fake fiancé.
Could this situation get any worse?
And with that it did. I saw at the corner of my eye the guys approaching. Think Stella come on think...
Luckily Tecna stepped in," I think we need to go, nice seeing you again."
And with that said she grabbed me by the arm and pulled me outside with the rest of the girls.
This day just went from bad to terrible
I hoped you liked this chapter!
I am really sorry because I started writing up this chapter ages ago and kept on getting writer's block and re-write it like 2/3 times. I planning on update the other stories and making more oneshots.
I hope this chapter made up for my apology as it is the longest one yet so far.
Until Next Time...
