Disclaimer. I do not own Winx Club or the songs!
Thank you all for writing reviews! I am soooo glad that you like my story! I hope I don't let you down! If I do, you can yell at me!
PARTY!
"So what do you think?" Flora asked as she came into Melissa room.
"Why are you in your Winx form?" Melissa asked. (A/N: Flora is in her 1st season form!)
"Because all the Winx club is. The boys are wearing their uniforms." Flora replied, wondering why Melissa hadn't transformed yet. "You had better transform. We're heading out to the quad."
"All of the boys are wearing their uniforms?" Melissa asked. hoping to avoid the question. She had seen Jeremy walk out in dressier-normal cloths.
"No, just our boys." Flora said, getting confused now.
"You mean your boys." Melissa mumbled, "Remember? I don't have Winx, or any form of magic."
"Sweetie, yes, you do! Bloom hadn't known about her powers for a long time. When she found them, she was crazy strong. She still is." Flora added, noticing the, 'What,-her-powers-weakened-after-she-found-them?' look.
"Yeah, whatever." Melissa said.
FLASHBACK
"I see you, little girlie." A very scary looking man said to a lot younger Melissa. He had just killed her foster parents.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" A seven year old Melissa yelled.
"Oh, you can't do anything to me. Little orphan girl." The scary man sneered.
"Yeah this little kid is terribly wimpy, She is so different from her mother, and older sister! No Winx, and for a girl who is supposed to be the keeper of the strongest power, next to the Dragon fire!" Scary man's blond friend said.
"Yes, I do!" Melissa retorted.
"Really? You do?" Scary man questioned. Clearly not believing Melissa.
She didn't know what to do from there. Suddenly, Melissa just put her arms out, wrists touching, hands open, and a pink-red ball of fire came out. It hit the men full on. They went flying, and Melissa took off.
END FLASHBACK
2 hours later...
Melissa was walking around downtown Magix when she heard an all to familiar voice; all though she hadn't heard it since she was eight.
"Hey, Mel!" the voice said.
"Collin...." Melissa tried to sound happy to see him, but she was far from it.
"How are you?" Collin said, walking up to hug her, but she just shook his hand. "I haven't seen you in a long time!"
"Yeah.... Soooo, how have you been?" Melissa replied, not answering his question.
"Fine. I'm just on my way back to my hotel room from having a birthday dinner with my girlfriend." Collin replied.
"Oh, today was your birthday? I totally forgot!" Melissa tried to sound sorry. "Happy birthday! Twenty-three now, right?"
"Yep." Collin got a weird glint in his eye. "You want to come back with me?" He asked eying her midrift-showing shirt, and her short skirt.
"No, I'm fine. I have to get back to where I am staying anyway." Melissa said, getting really uncomfortable.
"Bye." He said, looking disappointed.
"See ya." she said, before half running back to Alfea/Red Fountain. 'Out of all the families I have lived in, the orphanages I have gone to, the states I have stayed in, I had to get a family with a perverted cheat.' Melissa thought as she got on the bus. 'Ms. F gave me no choice. I have to tell the whole school about my life! Why?!' She thought, really mad.
When she got back to campus, Melissa cringed. There were so many people!
"Melissa Gordon!" Melissa heard Griselda call. "Were you trying to give us a heart attack?! We were looking for you everywhere! Where have you been?!" Griselda was furious.
"What up Ms.G? Time must have gone faster than I thought." Melissa was scared.
"It certainly has." Griselda mumbled.
"I was in Magix."
"Oh, here she is. Our main speaker, and one of our very own students, Melissa Gordon!" Ms. F waved for Melissa to come up on stage.
When she got up there Ms. Faragonda whispered, "Melissa, could you sing a song before you talk, and then one or two after?"
"Sure..." Melissa was nervous. She went to the band and whispered, "Feels Like Magic." She walked upto the front mike and said, "I am going to sing a song right now, and a few after I am done, Ok?" The crowd cheered.
The music started, and Melissa began singing.
Oh I don't know what it is,
but there's somethin' new
that's buried way down
deep inside me, and it feels
like magic.
Part of you and a part of
me just close your eyes and
you will see, it's not hard to
believe.
Oh, I don't know what it is,
but there's somethin' new
that keeps on goin' through
me, and it feels like magic,
and I've never felt like this..."
Finally Melissa spoke. "I know you're all wondering why a freshman is standing up here, Frankly, so am I." She tried to laugh, but it came out strange. "Now when I'm done, I hope you don't all start crying like some people I told this to earlier." Melissa stopped for a second to look at Wiz Giz, Palladium, and some others on the staff who had cried the hardest.
"When I was a few months old my parents died in a car crash, at least that is what I am told. I was taken to an orphanage with my siblings. We were all put in separate foster homes, I haven't seen any of them since. I was actually put into several. Each time, something would happen. I have been in orphanages and foster homes across the country. If I remember correctly, I lived I forty foster homes if not more. When I was about seven, I was given to a family who apparently had enemies. For three hours I watched them be tortured and murdered. What's funny about it is the people who killed the family were supposedly their friends. They would come to visit the family, bring presents, play games with us, and then one day, they came and killed the family." Melissa stopped for a second to think, and to push back the tears that were coming.
"That's why I don't trust people, don't get close to anyone. That is also why I taught myself to attack and defend." She chuckled. "The defense thing is why I have either flipped you, or done something else to you when you have run up behind me, or have made me mad." Everyone started laughing. They knew all to well, the quiet-but-annoyingly-strong-girl, had made quite the impression on all of them.
"I traveled on my own for a long while after that. Four years or so. Not talking to anyone, hiding from people, and one police officer who had seen me several times. He finally caught me, and took me to another orphanage, where they put me into the family where I have currently been staying. I've stayed there longer than any other home. A year and a half. Then Ms. Faragonda was kind enough to give me a full scholarship for my time at Alfea/Red Fountain." Melissa smiled at Ms. F. A lot of people were crying.
"I'm done talking, so I would like my friends, the Winx Club, to come up here and join me." Melissa said, and as if on cue, the Winx girls came onto the stage. "Now you may be asking yourselves why I don't transform, to match them, but I don't know how. My friend, who I will not name, said that someone she knows only just discovered her powers, and I quote, 'She is crazy strong.' I doubt that I have magic, or at least, they are really rusty. Many people I know are confident that when I do find my powers they will be strong." More people were crying. She didn't know why they would cry about her not being able to use her magic.
"Here we go! 'This is the Beat'!"
Oh oh ohoh oh ohoh oh oh ohoh oh oh.
All I really want is just one chance to grab a boy
and start to dance.
All you gotta do is move your feet (move your feet)
Cause baby here's the girl, and this is the beat.
Whoa whoa whoa,
Feel the magic, get into the grove, clap your hands
and start to move. That's the way two hearts meet,
(two hearts meet) Whoa, here's the girl, and this
is the beat.
When they had finished their song and dance the whole audience clapped, whistled, and cheered. Melissa yelled into the microphone, "Come on, Who wants to party?!!"
