Blimey, it's been a busy weekend, and so another week of drudgery begins... thank goodness for fanfics!

Thanks to: Chibi Horsewoman, Gabby and Spongey for their reviews. Sokai for adding this fic to her C2 thingy. Babywhale for FINALLY updating her fanfic. And Wales and Australia for dishing up one hell of a rugby match.

"Whoa! Hey lads! Check... THAT... out!"

The boys, who had been sat by the side of the pool chatting loudly with a group of girls (including the one who had yelled at Charlotte earlier), looked up to see a truly heavenly sight - there walking on the other side was a tall, shapely girl with sparkling eyes, a cute winsome smile and long black hair that flowed in the gentle sea breeze, dressed in a stunning silvery-white two-piece bikini with a matching light cotton sarong, and finished off with a silver bangle worn loosely around her left ankle. If angels wore swimsuits, they'd be hard pressed to outshine Anyuna.

The lads looked on, mouths wide open as she unfurled a towel and placed it on the ground, then untied the sarong and lay on her back as she got down to the serious business of sunning herself. She was quickly joined by the twins who, after chucking their things on the ground next to her, dived into the pool dressed in their own sporty two-piece costumes with 'MELODY!' emblazoned across the chest and a small musical note stamped on the hip.

"Come on Charlotte!" Mimi shouted at their friend, who was following them still dressed in the full-length lemon yellow summer dress she arrived in, and clutching a spanish phrasebook - after Anyuna's poor attempt at speaking the local lingo, she thought she'd better brush up.

"No, it's alright guys..." she replied nervously.

"Come on C, the water's great!" Nini said.

Charlotte shook her head. "Nuh-uh."

"Why not?"

"I, I, erm..." she stammered nervously, "I can't swim."

The girl who had shouted at her before sniggered when she heard this, and quietly got up from the beach towel she was sitting on.

"Nikki, what are you doing?" one of her friends asked.

"Shhh... watch this!" she whispered as she snuck up behind Charlotte. Without warning, she shoved her hard in the back, sending her head-first into the water.

"Come on Speccy (1), time for your swimming lesson!"

She laughed wickedly as Charlotte splashed fratically around in the pool before scrambling out as quickly as she could and standing at the side, frozen in shock, gasping, and staring at Nikki with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Hey, what did you do that for?" Mimi yelled, as Anyuna wrapped a towel around her friend and led her away. Nikki said nothing, but just carried on laughing as she exchanged high-fives with her friends.

"I can't believe she did that!" said Nini as she and her sister joined Anyuna and Charlotte.

"Yeah, that's well out of order!" Mimi added.

Charlotte said nothing but continued staring over at Nikki, who waved sarcastically at her before settling down on her stomach to continue her own spot of sunbathing.

"I'd love to get my own back on her." Anyuna muttered angrily. "Nobody does that to my friends and gets away with it."

"Yeah, but what are we gonna do - zap her in broad daylight?" Mimi whispered back.

By this time Charlotte had dried herself off as quickly as she could... and when you're a fairy with the power of fire magic on your side, that's QUICK. During this short time, her keen mind had cooked up a little plan of her own. A wry smile appeared on her face as she quietly placed a hand on the floor, all the while keeping a close eye on Nikki. At first nothing happened, but then Nikki popped her head up with a look of sudden discomfort and started sniffing, before yelping loudly in pain and standing bolt upright.

"Hey, what's up Nik?" the girl sitting next to her asked.

"More like what's up with this towel? It's burning me!" she yelled, holding her tummy gingerly - it had taken on a faint red colour.

Her friend sniggered. "How can a TOWEL burn you? What on earth are you talking about?"

Nikki held her beach towel up - there, right in the centre, was a large, round scorch mark. Her friends gasped as one of them placed their hand on the ground then quickly jerked it away - sure enough, there was a circle of heat, but strangely enough the area around it was still cool.

Charlotte let out a little giggle, as did most of the other hotel guests as they looked on. Nini leant over and whispered to her.

"That was you, wasn't it?"

She nodded.

"Love your style Charlie!" Mimi said, beaming.

"Oh yes, that was a good one all right!" said Anyuna, trying her best not to burst out laughing as she stretched out on her back, blissfully unaware of the adoring looks she was getting from most of the male guests. "Maybe now we can get on our vacation."

Later that evening, the Starz were busy preparing for their first night out on the town, but as always an age-old problem had decided to rear its ugly head...

"Arrrgh!"

"What is it Yuni?"

"Nini, I'm totally stuck here. Can you help?"

"Sure."

Nini looked on as Anyuna stood up in front of her.

"What do you think? The blue top and the red jeans, or the red top and blue jeans?"

Nini whistled through her teeth. "Ooh, that's a doozy, they both look good... couldn't you wear the blue top with the blue jeans?"

Anyuna laughed. "It's always with the blue with you, isn't it?"

"Guys... I think I might have a suggestion." Charlotte piped up. Up until that moment, she'd been standing at the window, quietly looking down onto the street below.

"A suggestion?"

"Uh-huh. You wanna know what to wear? Come take a look." she beckoned. The other three girls joined her at the window. There on the pavement outside the hotel was Nikki and the other girls, loudly heading off for their own night on the town.

"Um, you want us to look like THEM, with THAT make-up? No way!" Mimi said, looking quite shocked.

"Yeah, and I ain't bleaching my hair neither. I'm happy with my blue, thank you very much!" Nini added.

"No no, that's not what I meant. Look again." Charlotte replied.

They looked again, and as they did so Nikki turned her back to them to reveal a garish pair of plastic fairy wings with a pink fluffy trim, and to top it all off, she carried a cheap-looking plastic wand in the back pocket of her jeans which, judging by the way her midriff was bulging slightly over the beltline, was a half a size too small. In fact, all the girls were dressed up with wings and wands - and one or two of the guys as well, just for a laugh.

Charlotte giggled. "So? What do you think?"

Mimi and Nini looked at her as though she was crazy.

"Are you seriously saying..."

"...we should go in our fairy forms?"

"Yeah, why not? After all, I think the Winx girls did it once and got away with it, so why can't we?"

Anyuna smiled as she looked at the girls outside. "They look quite pathetic really... and we really oughtta put em in their place." she said chuckling. "Okay, let's do it - no-one out-Starz the Starz!"
