It was a peaceful day, the weather was tranquil and the sun shone brightly in the sky. It lit up Alfea School for fairies and brightened up Tecna and Musa's dorm room. Tecna sat quietly cross-legged on her bed absorbing the information from the screen of her laptop. Her part of the bedroom was personalised to her taste, from the lilac bedcovers, to the waterfall of pixels. Even the spotlights on the ceiling possessed a digital element to them. As she continuously stared at the screen, a chunk of her beautiful short magenta hair slipped from behind her ear obstructing her vision. She lifted up one hand subconsciously and tucked her hair away to reveal her gleaming teal eyes. She paused her reading for a moment to think and turned her attention to Musa who sat on her own bed opposite. She was sat on her large red bed which resembled the shape of a guitar with her chunky yellow headphones covering her ears. She had her eyes closed and Tecna watched as her head rocked with the rhythm and her deep blue black hair moved as she did so.

"Musa?" Tecna asked quietly. Seeing that she had no reaction, Tecna raised her voice a little more. "Musa?" she asked again but with no reply. Tecna finally resorted to grabbing one of the soft cushions on her bed and threw it in her direction. Upon impact, Musa opened her eyes widely and looked back at Tecna in surprise. She pulled her headphones off and let them rest around her neck.

"What was that for?" she asked slightly irritated.

"I'd already called you name a few times but you were in a world of your own so decided further action was necessary," she answered calmly trying to hide her amusement from Musa's reaction.

"Right. So…?" Musa asked curiously.

"So… you might tell me that this is totally illogical, but sometimes, do you ever wish that we were still fighting evil, you know? Because it's what we do as the Winx Club, it's our job I suppose…"

"Don't say that Tec! You'll probably awaken some long lost evil or something!"

"Musa, that's highly unlikely. Although, the probability that evil will rise soon is much higher since all the current evil has been defeated," she said informingly.

"Don't wish away our time to relax, don't you think it's nice to get away from it all. We've already defeated the Trix, Lord Darkar, Valtor, Mandragora, the Ancestral Witches and Tritannus! Do you really want to start adding more to that list?" questioned Musa.

"Well, no, but…"

"There you go then," interrupted Musa.

"What I mean is doing things like that together, just being the Winx Club properly again," said Tecna.

"I know what you mean, it's just that it's nice not having that pressure on you, you know?"

"Yeah, but if I'm honest, I don't think it's going to keep this quiet for long…"

Just as Tecna finished her sentence, they heard the door handle to the main room open and high heels clunking on the marble floor. The pair of them both got to their feet and went to investigate. As they walked in, they saw Layla's head poke around the door frame of her room also in curiosity. Her long, dark, wavy hair hung freely from her head and swayed as she moved. Bloom and Flora collapsed onto the sofa with all of their shopping bags in hand. Stella continued chatting away and put her bags on the floor before joining Bloom and Flora.

"What have you three died of? Shopping exhaustion?" laughed Musa.

"Let's just say that everyone else in Magix decided to go shopping today too!" panted Stella.

"Oh, did you get me the Palmtop model 7 XL?" asked Tecna excitedly.

Stella's eyes widened as she thought about it. "Ugh! I don't know, I just walked in and showed them what you had written down."

Flashback

Stella, Bloom and Flora stood outside of Compatible, the largest electronics chain in Magix. Stella just stood for a moment and gawped at it. She could feel her brain going into meltdown as looked in horror at the lack of style and complexity of the shop. All of the model computers and gadgets were very alien to her. Even Bloom and Flora were a little taken back by it all. They walked in slowly and cautiously as they looked around the store feeling very intimidated.

"Can I help any of you lovely ladies today?" The three girls turned around to see hunky man who Stella immediately fell in love with, despite being in a sturdy relationship with Brandon. Soon, she was lost in his alluring hazel eyes, his amazing figure and his luxurious golden locks.

"Wow, you really are compatible…" said Stella under her breath. Flora quickly shot her a glance to try and remind her why she was here.

"Oh, erm, we just wanted, err…" by this point, Bloom had taken the liberty to stand hard on Stella toes to snap her out of her trance.

"Ow!" she cried and gave Bloom a dirty look. The man who's name tag read 'Alex' stood quietly, still smiling but was very confused.

"Oh, right, yeah," she threw all of her bags at Flora, who almost fell backwards, and fumbled into her pocket to find the note Tecna had given her.

"Can I get one of these please," smiled Stella broadly and swished her long blond hair. Alex smiled back fondly at her before taking the note from her hand.

"Just bear with me one moment," he swiftly took off before disappearing into the back of the shop.

"Stella? What are you doing? We're here to get Tecna's gadget, not to flirt with other guys!" moaned Flora.

"You can't deny that he is hot!" grinned Stella. She stared intensely at Bloom awaiting an answer.

"Well, yeah-"

"See!" squeaked Stella giving Flora a look to prove she was right.

Before Flora could retaliate, Alex came out from the back with a large box in his hand.

"If you'd like to follow me to the till…" Stella felt her heart melt when she heard his voice again. He turned on his heel and lead them to the till where Stella paid for Tecna's gadget.

Stella reached into the bag and pulled out the heavy cardboard box. Tecna jumped for joy before taking the box from Stella and running back into her room to open it. Before she did, she grabbed her purse and took out some money and handed it to Stella to pay her back. Just before, she could open the box, someone knocked on the girls' door.

"Come in," shouted Bloom to the door.

The door handle moved slowly to reveal Ms Faragonda. "Girls, please can you meet me in 15 minutes in my office. There's something urgent I need to talk to you about."

Before anyone could answer her, she was gone. The girls looked around to each other curiously as they all wondered what the news was that Ms Faragonda had for them.

Typical Stella! Hope you're hooked!
