Chapter 3- This is actually…real?
Ella's eyes widened, how was this happening? Or better yet, why? Somehow the exciting trip out west had gone from a dream come true to her worst fear come alive, she felt her heart stop. Nervously, she focused on her best friend who was now in grave danger. She turned her head to Alexis; she was just as freaked as her. Sure, her favorite hero's motto was "Let's get dangerous", but now it seemed oh so stupid."What are we going to do?"
Then out of nowhere came a voice that exclaimed, "Over here girls! It's them!" Ella looked up in the direction the voice came from. Her blue eyes widen, she was both stunned and relieved. "This can't be real too! Can it?"
Cutting into her thoughts, Alexis shouted. "Oh my gosh! It's the wi-win- WINX!" She began to jump up and down at seeing the famous six girls with her own eyes.
The Fellowship turned to see what the girl was freaking out about. Sure enough there they were, in full Enchantix mode. Each looking like they were ready to fight.
"Oh, thank Magix!" Ella said under her breath as she wiped her forehead, thankful that she and Alexis wouldn't have to deal with these "villains" alone.
"The Winx Club, what are you doing here?" Aden asked forcefully. He looked at Angie, right now, the Winx where a much bigger target. He lowered his blade and pushed her to the ground.
Angie shot him a look. "You okay?" Ella asked once she and Alexis rushed over to her, making sure she really was okay.
"Yeah, I'm fine." she reassured her best friends.
Aisha flew lower, "A better question is what you are doing here. And what you want with these girls!"
Arvin grumbled, fairies always seemed to get in the way. "None of your concern, princess."
Rather than responding to that with an answer, Aisha gave him a taste of his own medicine and shot him with an energy blast. The blast knocked him down. He scolded as he rubbed his head.
"Way to show him!" Alexis cheered, not hiding how much she was enjoying it. Angie and Ella couldn't help but to laugh a little.
Aisha smiled, "And I thought that the Trix were bad!" She said. Looking right at the guys, Stella joined her friend. "Yeah, bigger jerks!"
The reaming members of the club landed on the ground near the three teens where sitting. "Leave now, or you will face the power of the Dragon's Flame!" exclaimed Bloom as she created two large balls of energy in both hands.
Adam, Aden and Arvin looked at each other; this "easy" mission wasn't going nearly as well as they had planned. Dealing with the girls- fine. Dealing with the Winx Club- not so much. Aden gave the new fairies a sharp look that sent a shiver down each's spine. "This isn't over, by no means is this over. The Fellowship nevergives up on what it wants, we will get it one way or another." With that, one by one they stepped into their portal and were gone as fast as the came.
"Thank goodness," Angie said after they were gone.
"You can say that again. I'm just glad we are all okay." Alexis said as she and Ella helped Angie up off the floor. "Yeah," Ella began, she looked around the room. This place was a mess! Tables, displays and decorations where destroyed. Ella leaned over and picked up a Bloom doll that had been inside the glass box. It was now in several pieces. What we might have been if they hadn't saved us.
Flora walked closer to the group, "Are you girls okay?" She asked, clearly worried. Angie assured them that they were fine, as she did so Ella examined the building and Alexis; well she was just so shocked to meet the Winx in person (mostly Stella!) that she could hardly speak, heck, she looked like she was about to pass out!
"Thank you for saving us, I seriously don't know what we would have done if you hadn't showed up when you did." Ella explained, very thankful that the very unexpected event had turned out how it had.
Musa smiled, and placed a hand on the red head's shoulder. "No problem, it's all in a days work. I'm Musa, by the way." After saying that the other girls began to get ready to introduce themselves.
"You really don't have to introduce yourselves to us." Ella began, letting Angie take over. "We already know who you all are. Bloom fairy of the Dragon's Flame, Flora fairy of Nature, Aisha fairy of waves, Tecna fairy of technology and-"
"STELLA!Fairy of the shining sun!" Squealed Alexis, getting over her shock. The yell completely took Stella by surprise. Musa just laughed, finding amusement in it, "Looks like you have a fan, Stel!"
Stella just looked at her, then back at Alexis, unsure what to think. Before she could even say anything, Tecna butted in. "How do you know our names? And our powers?"
Ella smile and laughed a bit, did they not know? "Are you kidding? Just about everyone knows you girls!" The club just looked at her. Ella looked over at her friends; they looked as surprised as she did. "Wait. You don't know...do you?"
"Um," Bloom began, "I don't think so. Sure, we have been to Earth before..." Spotting something out of the corner of her eye, Musa walked over to what had been the Winx display. She picked up a sign, "What on Magix?" she breathed, examining the item.
"What is it Musa?" Flora asked as she made her way over to her musical friend and sat down beside her. "It's...us!"
"Huh?" Bloom asked as she raced over. Musa held up the sign. On it was the Winx Club logo and a photo of the Winx Club, but they weren't in their Enchantix forms, they were in their Believix. "A new transformation?" exclaimed Stella, she sighed, "Great, more studding."
After slowly taking it all in, the Winx turned and faced the three new fairies, clearly they knew what was going on. "Explain!" they asked as one.
Angie, Ella and Alexis joined the group. "It's kind of a long story..."
It hadn't taken the bloggers long to explain to their idols that "The Winx Club" was an Earth animated TV series of which, they where the stars of, and the premise of the girls saving Magix multiple times.
"So who makes, 'The Winx Club' anyways?" asked Bloom, using air quotes around their group name. Of all the Winx, she seemed the most accepting of the idea that the people of Earth though of them as cartoon characters.
"Um," Angie began, unsure of whether or not to tell them who "made" Winx, knowing well what happened who messed with the Winx.
"I do," a voice said from behind them. Ella, Angie and Alexis cried, "Oh."
"My."
"WINX!"
Angie, Ella and Alexis all watched as a figure emerged from the shadows. Eyes wide and jaws dropped, this was something that not a soul had seen coming.
Angie and Ella suddenly felt a poke in their ribs; they looked at Alexis who was standing in the middle. "Girls do you really think that is-"
"Iginio Straffi." The man introduced himself. He turned and smiled at the Winx Club, "Ah yes, the Winx Club. It is so nice to finally meet you all in person." Bloom and Stella gave warm smiles as he shook each of their hands; however rest of the group weren't nearly as over the moon about the attention.
"So you're the guy who is making a show about us. Why?" demanded Aisha.
"A fascinating tale of faeries, fighting for the good of man-and faerie-kind was a story I couldn't possibly keep to myself. I've spent years yearning to spark the imagination and creativity of children around the world, and what better way than to have some charming young heroines star in a magical series unlike any before?" At the last sentence, Stella blushed, looking insanely pleased with herself.
Aisha folded her arms; this dude wasn't serious, was he? Judging by the expressions on Tecna's and Musa's faces, it was clear that they didn't believe it as much as Bloom and Stella.
"Okay, now that we understand that, what about us?" Angie asked as the three new fairies joined the group of seven.
Ignoring what Angie was saying, Aisha asked, "But that stilldoesn't explain how you know about us!"
"Okay then..."Angie said as she stepped back. Clearly the Winx where more concerned about themselves at the moment - not that she could blame them. She wanted to know how he did it too.
"How does anyone know anything?" the man questioned.
Musa looked at him in disbelief, "No riddles - explain!"
Now Iginio was starting to get nervous, clearly this was a day he hadn't seen coming and had no idea what to do. "Err, well by observation or course."
"How could you 'observe' us? You don't have magic! You're human!" Tecna exclaimed.
"Ah, but that doesn't mean I don't have access into your world." He grinned mischievously at the girls' stumped faces. "For every action, there is an equal or opposite reaction. You can visit my world, so what makes you believe I can't visit yours?"
"Okay..." Ella said, unsure of what was going to come out of his mouth next.
Iginio then turned back to the Winx, "And who said I wasn'tmagic?" All of the girls exchanged nervous glances; this was getting way too creepy.
"So you might be magic and can enter our world, but how did you 'observe' us?" Bloom asked making air quotes around 'observe'.
Another grin formed, "I have my ways and my connections. That is all you need to know."
Ella waved her hands in the air as if she was trying to direct traffic, "Now that this is understood, what about us? Have you been stalking us as well?"
He shook his head, "No, only the Winx. I don't even know who you are. But I do love the outfits!" He looked at Alexis' top and rubbed his chin. "Something like this would be great for a doll line." Alexis looked at him and stepped behind her friends, this was way to strange.
Ella rolled her eyes. Really? "So you know nothing, super. What about you girls, is this part of season five, or six? Did Faragonda send you here to find us? 'Cause if that is the case, someone has been reading a lot of Winx fan fiction!"
"Um, what are you talking about? We were on our way back to Alfea to teach." Flora began.
Tecna snorted, "This is the last time we let Stella open the portal."
"So, this was by chance?" Angie asked, now there were more questions than answers.
"Afraid so," Flora said as she joined the three confused faeries. "But you girls have amazing powers, you're faeries."
"All you need is a little training..." Stella began.
"And what better place to get it than at Alfea?" finished Angie, Alexis and Ella at the same time. The Winx just looked at them, having no clue how they knew that. "What? We dorun a huge fansite for you girls. So we know everything you do. We have even written it before!"
"Just one question," Alexis said, "how are we going to talk our parents into letting us go to Alfea? They think it is just a setting on a TV show!"
"Are you sure of that?" inquired Bloom. "My parents had some strange stories of me as a child that she failed to mention to me until I was about your age."
"After a day like today, anything is possible." Angie said as they walked out the door.
Alexis grinned, "If we post about this on Winx 4 Life, do you think anyone would believe us?"
Ella laughed, "Maybe if it were a fanfic they might. They just might…"
