Hey so I edited this chapter too, too much of a perfectionist I guess. Most is the same, except for (SPOILER!) how long the guys were missing, a few days instead of a week.

Hey guys, told you I'd update. Here is the second chapter, hope you enjoy and remember I don't own Winx Club, just the plot!

Chapter 1: Three Years Ago…

Three years ago the Trix teamed up with Bloom's old best friend from Earth, Selina, and one normal fight led to longest the Winx Club have been separated from each other since they met. Here's what happened:

"Stupid Pixies, you'll never beat us now that we have the power of the Legendarium!" Icy cackled as she sent an ice blast at Bloom, who put up her shield just in time. This time instead of conjuring up creatures with the Legendarium, Selina had just made the Trix themselves stronger.

"Selina, stop this please. I know you, you are better than this, don't let them deceive you. Come with me and my friends, we can be best friends again and you can be the fairy you were always meant to be. Please!" Bloom said trying to reason with the wielder of the Legendarium.

"Hate to disappoint you Bloom, but we stopped being friends a long time ago, and besides I like being a witch, this is fun!" she laughed as Bloom looked at her in horror.

"You don't mean that, you can't mean that," Bloom sobbed falling to the ground in a heap.

"Sorry, but I can and do mean that. So long Bloom, hope they destroy you quickly, actually no I don't," Selina said with a wave before going back to the floating Cloud Tower, as the Trix smirked evilly.

"I like her Icy, can we keep her?" Stormy inquired.

"Sure we can sister, but let's get rid of these pathetic fairies first," she laughed in response, Darcy nodding and smirking in the background before they came together to build up a combined attacked.

"Dark icy tornado!" they cried as they sent it at us. We tried to hold it back but it was no use, the girls and I just got thrown against a nearby building like ragdolls.

"Uhh," I groaned getting up and looking around. Stella, Bloom, Musa, and Tecna were getting up, Flora was out cold, and it looked like Aisha was having trouble moving as if she broke something. This does not look good, why are the Trix so hard to beat, I thought exasperatedly.

"Huh, and I thought that would finish them, oh well let's just topple that building on top of them and be done with it," Darcy shrugged as her sisters agreed and they built up another attack. Seeing this Bloom and Tecna raced over to Flora while Stella and Musa raced to Aisha, and I just raced to get out of there, almost having forgotten the two fallen Winx (not that I would ever tell Bloom).

The girls and I had just managed to fly out of there when the building collapsed.

"That was a close one," Stella said looking back at the fallen building as they placed Aisha and Flora in a safe spot nearby.

"Yeah really close. Wait the people! There were people in that building we have to save them!" Bloom yelled, always the heroic one, about to fly over there when a hand caught her wrist.

"Bloom, we got this, you girls go fight the Trix," Sky said while the other guys nodded, they are pretty heroic too.

"You sure?" she said worriedly.

"Yes, now go," Sky said trying to shoo her.

"Okay, Sky, just promise me you guys will be safe," she responded.

"Yeah don't die on us," Musa said sarcastically poking Riven in the chest.

"Alright, alright, we'll be careful, now go," Riven smirked, as Musa saluted him. We then flew off to go fight the Trix, but not before looking back at the boys one more time.

The fighting continued for a while before we succeeded in knocking out Stormy, which prompted the Trix to fall back.

"We'll be back you little pixies, and we will beat you!" Icy yelled as she and Darcy carried Stormy back to Cloud Tower.

"Woo hoo! We did it, so long Witches!" Musa cheered as the girls high five. She and Tecna then proceeded to help Aisha to a nearby tree to lean against, while Stella and Bloom woke Flora up.

"Uhh, my head hurts" Flora said going to stand, but needing to lean against Bloom in the end to stay up.

"Now let's get the boys and go home, I'm exhausted," Stella exclaimed slumping a little.

"You and me both Stel," Bloom said looking around, "Uh where are they?"

"Hmm, well the building they went into is over there so- oh no it's even more collapsed then before!" Tecna exclaimed as all of us whipped our heads around to look in that direction before running over there, leaving Aisha against the tree.

"Did you see the guys that went in this building?" Bloom asked a nearby woman when we got there.

"Oh yes, they were very brave. They went in there and saved all of us, but then they went back in to check for survivors one last time and that's when a spell, I think, hit the building causing it to fall on them," she explained tears in her eyes as we watched her in shock.

"Thank you ma'am, we'll take it from here, you can go home now," Flora said gently to the woman, who nodded before going on her way. A few seconds later we came out of our shock and started looking for the boys.

"Sky, Sky! Where are you?" Bloom cried searching through the wreckage, the others following suit calling their own boyfriend's names and occasionally using magic to move debris. I cared for Thoren at that time, but we weren't dating yet, so I didn't think that I was anywhere close to going through what my sister and her friends were going through. Even so, I still felt the pain every one of the Winx was feeling, not knowing what happened to their boyfriends. And it didn't help that as the day went on and we accumulated a pile of debris already lifted from the wreckage no boys were found, not even one (and there were 8 of them to find, so it shouldn't have been that hard).

"This is no use, were not going to find them," Musa said sitting down exasperated some time in mid-afternoon.

"You're giving up, just like that Musa?" Bloom asked, "We can't give up we have to find them to at least get closure, even if they-they are-" she broke down into tears before she could finish, Stella holding her firmly.

"Daphne, girls, I found Thoren!" we heard Tecna shout before we could even think about giving up anymore, and flew over there quickly.

"Thoren, oh my god," I breathed landing right beside him, before kneeling down to see if he was okay.

"Thoren, Thoren, come on wake up please," I said shaking him repeatedly. I was worried, I wasn't sure how I felt about him at the time, but knew I cared for him, so I didn't question it when tears started falling from my eyes. I sat there, the girls around me for what seemed like hours, but was really minutes, waiting for a response.

"Cough- Daphne -cough?" I hear a ragged voice say. I look up only to fling myself into his arms in relief and happiness.

"Glad to see –cough- you too Daphne," Thoren says wrapping his arms around me, which I just melt into feeling complete bliss, before he winces and I move to get off him.

"Oh right you're injured, let's get you back to the ship while the other girls keep looking, shouldn't be too long now that we've found one of you," I said sheepishly, noticing his pain. Then, before he could ask any questions I had picked him up with Bloom's help and flown him to the ship, laying him there to rest while we went back to keep searching.

Unfortunately, for my optimism we were no closer by nightfall, which prompted a call to Ms. Faragonda with a recount of what happen. She told us to come home with who we had, and that she'd send a rescue mission in the morning. And so the girls and I reluctantly went back to Alfea via Stella transport as Tecna could not fly the ship on her own.

Once there, Aisha, Flora and Thoren went to the nurse to get fixed up while the rest of the girls and I went to bed. I didn't want to, I wanted to stay with Thoren until he got better, but he insisted and gave me an adorable pout which I couldn't resist, meaning I went to bed as well. The night was a long one for the Winx Club though, who woke up several times during the night screaming with nightmares of dead boyfriends. In the end, they slept in their living room, and I ended up sleeping with them to help keep the nightmares away.

In the morning we all shuffled into Ms. Faragonda's office to discuss what happened.

"It's alright, just keep me posted on your progress Saladin," we heard her say on our way in, causing us to exchange a look, but having more pressing issues at hand, we decided to leaving it for the time being. Already in the office were Ms. Griselda standing beside Ms. Faragonda's chair, Aisha in a wheel-chair in front of her desk, Flora sitting next to her on a chair, still looking a little dizzy, and Thoren sitting on the other chair with a pair of crutches beside him.

I ran up immediately and put my arms around his neck hugging him, while the other girls came up to stand behind the chairs facing her desk. As we stood there Ms. Faragonda looked at each of us in turn, before sighing.

"There's no point in lying, Saladin and the boys from Red Fountain have been up and looking for hours, but so far they haven't found anything," she said to a few gasps, while those of us that had come in later finally understood what we had heard, "He will, however, be keeping me updated, so hope is not lost yet, but there is another matter I wish to discuss," she paused, "That of going into hiding," she said finally, looking around at the girls and one boy. I did not expect that course of action at the time, but looking back it seems to be the best course of action.

"But Ms. F we can handle ourselves against the Trix, we don't need to hide, just maybe a new power," Musa said not wanting to back down from a fight, all the girls voicing their agreement with her except Stella who I noticed was staying strangely quiet.

"Yes well, the fact of the matter is with Aisha being paralyzed from the waist down (Stella and Bloom gasp at this, while Flora hangs her head already knowing the diagnosis), Flora's brain being fragile, Thoren needing to heal as well, and no sign of the boys, it is probably better to go into hiding for now," she says in response, giving pretty good reasoning. But I could tell there was something she wasn't telling us, why go into hiding so just a few can heal? And it's not like the Winx and I can't handle ourselves without the boys.

"Well then we will just have to stay here until they heal, Alfea is surrounded by magical protection, so we should be fine," Bloom said indignantly, she made a good point, but I could tell it was going to be counter acted, so I was not too surprised by what Ms. Faragonda said next.

"Yes Bloom, but you and I both know this is the first place they'd look for you and that our magical protection has been no match for them before," she argued back looking sorry too that we couldn't stay here.

"Which is why you girls need to go into hiding and soon. Ms. Faragonda and I have already agreed that it is best, and I believe Ms. Stella and the baby inside of her would agree as well," Ms. Griselda says smiling at Stella, while the girls and I all look at her shock. I knew there was some other reason to go into hiding, but I had not expected this at all.

"You-you know?" a shocked Stella asked in a small voice, so different from her normal big cheerful one.

"I-uh-I might have overheard you talking with Brandon, the other day," Ms. Griselda said sheepishly.

"Right well, I guess we're going into hiding," Stella said cutting off Bloom who was about to say something. I figured she was going to ask about the baby, so I did not question further when she kept her mouth shut after that.

From there Ms. Faragonda explained the protection plan. Flora and Aisha were to go to Nabu's estate on Andros to heal, and return when they were better. Next I was to stay at Alfea and complete my teaching duties while taking care of Thoren, who would be moved to Red Fountain once Professor Saladin returned. The third group, Bloom, Stella, and Musa, were to go to Los Angeles on Earth to protect Stella's baby, and consequently Musa's baby as well (who knew?). Lastly, Tecna was to go on a special mission with Roxy, and to this day I have no clue what it was or where they went.

The next day, we all went our separate ways, but I don't think any of us will ever forget that day for the rest of our lives, even the boys who Saladin found a few days later. Ms. Faragonda decided it would be best if they didn't know where the girls were, and if the girls didn't know we had found them. Unfortunately, I don't think Ms. Faragonda knew the pain that decision would cause both parties, which is the same pain that after three years will finally be alleviated in a few weeks.

Well, there you go, let me know what you think, and if you expected any of this. As I said before the next chapter will be up next Sunday, probably Monday because of thanksgiving busyness, but don't worry it will be up. Lastly, don't forget to REVIEW!

Yours,
