2 MONTHS LATER (October)
The Winx and the guys (Specialists) are now good friends, but they haven't admitted to liking each other yet. The Alphas still hate the Winx and the Winx still feel the same way. There hasn't been any other attacks by rock creatures since the last one at the school.
"We don't have soccer practice, do we, Aisha?" Bloom asked as she, the Winx and the guys left the school building.
Aisha thought for a second. "Soccer practices are on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school." Aisha ticked off her fingers. "Tennis practices are Mondays and Wednesdays and swimming is on Sunday. Dance club doesn't start till next month, just like rock climbing club."
"And today is Friday, so we're in the clear." Stella said, smiling, then turned to face the guys. "What do you guys do around here for fun? There a place everyone likes to hang out at? We've been so busy, we haven't really had a chance to explore Gardenia."
"The Frutti Music Bar." Brandon said after a second, the others nodding their heads as well.
"Then lead the way." Musa said with a wave of her hand. "We'll follow you guys in our car."
The guys headed to their car as the Winx headed to theirs; Bloom started it up as everyone slid into their normal seats. As they waited for the guys to pass them, Stella spoke up.
"Can we see if the guys would be willing to stop by our place so we can change into more stylish clothes?" Stella asked.
"The clothes we're wearing right now are fine, Stella." Aisha said with an exasperated look.
"Eh." Stella said, looking down at her clothes with a thoughtful expression.
"If you really wanted to, you could just change your outfit with magic." Bloom said, then shrugged. "But it'd be a little hard to explain why you were suddenly wearing a different outfit."
Stella sighed, but nodded. "I guess you're right. These aren't too bad."
Bloom's wearing a light blue denim button-up minidress, sleeves rolled up to her elbows, with light pink ruffles around the bottom, a sparkly pink belt with a heart buckle slung low around her hips, pink gloves, turquoise bracelets around her wrists, triple-stacked pearl dangly earrings in her ears, a choker with two pearls on it around her neck, and sparkly pink high-heeled ankle boots; her hair is left down. Stella's wearing an orange denim button-up, sleeveless dress-top with a green/orange-striped belt slung low around her hips, light denim jeans with a silver chain wrapped around her right leg, orange, blue, and green bangles on her right wrist and blue and pink on the left, a blue choker around her neck, blue grape-on-the-vine-design earrings in her ears, and sparkly orange open-toed heels with ribbons tied on the back; her hair is left down with an orange headband on top. Flora's wearing a light blue denim midriff-baring vest with pink long-sleeves cuffed at the ends and a pink flower hanging over her stomach, light blue denim short-shorts with a pink belt around her hips over pink floral leggings, green dangling vine earrings in her ears, a light blue hat decorated with pink flowers on her head with her hair left down, and leaf green high-heeled, knee-high boots with light blue on the bottom and top.
Musa's wearing a magenta and purple midriff-baring polo under jean overalls that have no back, around her waist is a light purple belt, on the side are flowers and at the bottom there are magenta, green and purple ankle-warmers, purple studs are in her ears, and purple heels are on her feet; her hair is put in a ponytail with a crystal barrette. Tecna's wearing a lavender midriff-baring jacket with light blue pockets over both breasts and on both arms, light denim capris, green triangular studs in her ears, light blue and pink bangles on her right wrist and lavender and green bangles on her left, a sparkly light blue hat on her head with her hair left down, and knee-high dark lavender lace-up boots. Aisha's wearing a blue denim button-up minidress with pockets and a scarf belt, both of which have green leopard print, green, magenta and orange bangles on her wrists, green hoops in her ears, green leopard print high-heeled, knee-high boots with blue trim, and her hair is in a high ponytail in a green holder.
Bloom glanced behind her and saw the guys' large black Jeep drive by and stop at the exit, waiting for the Winx to catch up. Bloom backed the car up and drove over to the guys, stopping behind them before they were on their way. It took about ten minutes to get to the Frutti Music Bar and once there, it took another five to actually find a parking space. Once they did, they all got out of their respective cars and met up at the entrance.
"Wow, this place is popular." Stella said, looking around the outside of the building. "What do they serve here?"
"Smoothies, milkshakes, some types of food." Brandon listed.
"They also have live music." Nabu added.
"It's so open and airy." Flora said with a smile before spotting something. "And we're right on the ocean, Aisha!"
Aisha gave a broad smile. "I officially love this place."
"Let's go sit down." Sky suggested, leading everyone inside and to an empty table that could fit all of them.
"Does everyone come here?" Bloom asked, seeing half the school in attendance.
"Klaus, he owns the place, is very lax on rules." Brandon explained. "As long as it isn't illegal, and doesn't put his daughter in danger, he'll overlook it. This is where a lot of teens come to just hang out."
"Hey guys." A girl, the waitress, said. "What can I get for you?"
The Winx looked up and gave the girl a once-over. She looks to be a year younger than them, and has straight, waist-long dark pink hair with yellow tips on two long strands that frame her face, light violet eyes, and light tan skin; her body is athletically slender with curves and bumps in all the right places, a small waist, flat stomach, and long, shapely legs. She's wearing a white, midriff-baring business shirt with a navy blue hem and a navy tie over it, navy with lavender pinstripe miniskirt, a magenta belt with a gold chain and buttons slung around her hips, magenta socks, and navy lace-up, high-heeled ankle boots.
"I'll have a mango smoothie." Bloom said, smiling.
"Ummmm..." Stella said, thinking. "A pineapple smoothie."
"A strawberry smoothie, please." Flora said softly with a smile.
"The cherry smoothie looks good." Musa said with a nod. "I'll take that."
"I'll take a grape smoothie." Tecna said.
"A watermelon smoothie, please." Aisha said.
The guys ordered their drinks and the girl left to go get their drinks.
"I love that outfit." Stella remarked. "It's so waitress-business chic."
"You would notice that." Musa said with a smirk; Stella just stuck her tongue out at her.
"Do you know her?" Bloom asked the guys, curious.
"That's Roxy, Klaus's daughter." Brandon said to the Winx. "She's a Junior."
"So, a year younger than us." Bloom said, then looked out towards the ocean area, wanting to see the view, and promptly almost had a heart attack. "Uh, girls, can you come with me to the bathroom? Now."
"Uh, sure Bloom." Stella said as the others nodded.
"We'll be right back." Bloom said with a forced smile as she led the Winx, not to the bathroom, but out to the back alley. "We have a problem."
"What problem?" Musa asked, confused. "Bloom, why are we out here?" Before Bloom could answer, screams and shouts were heard.
"That's why." Bloom said, running an agitated hand through her hair. "We have two more rock creatures out on the beach."
"They haven't shown up in two months." Tecna said, perplexed. "Why are they back now?"
"Who knows?" Bloom said, throwing her hands up. "But we need to stop those things before they destroy the Frutti Music Bar and everyone inside it."
"Let's do this." The Winx said in agreement.
"Magic Winx, Enchantix!" Bloom shouted.
The six fairies, now transformed, flew up and out of the alley, heading to the beach area, where the two rock creatures are creating havoc. As expected, the creatures are bigger and stronger than the last two they fought two months ago. They were about twenty feet away, over the roof, when something made them stop in their tracks: a voice.
"Hey!" someone shouted, causing the Winx to turn around.
Floating five feet away from them is another fairy. Her outfit consists of a glittery spring green hip-length frock that splits open under the bust with yellow-green lining the split and a light pink braided rope that loops around her neck with a dark purple jewel at the end, and glittery dark fuschia hip hugger shorts with light green frills on the waistband; on her arms are light green sparkly gloves that go up to her shoulders. Her dark pink hair is in a high circle bun with a lavender ribbon while the rest flows down her back and at the front of her head is a mini silver one-point crown with a rounded sea green point, and on her legs are light pink barefoot sandals that wind up her calves with sea green jewels on her feet. Her fairy dust bottle is a light pink paw surrounded by a sea green circle with little jewels hanging off placed on a light green choker around her neck, and her make-up is bubblegum-pink eyeshadow, long lashes and dark pink lipstick. Her large, glittery butterfly-shaped wings are outlined with sea green, with aqua gems hanging off and decorating them, and filled in with light lavender and fuschia. On her face is a light green glittery, figure 8-shaped eye mask with light pink paw prints on the outside sides.
Bloom flew in front of her friends and looked the new fairy over. When she was about to speak, the new fairy whispered something.
"I'm not the only one?" In her eyes were shock and confusion.
"The only fairy?" Bloom asked, startling the new fairy into looking up at her. "Of course not."
"But I was told I was." She said, trying not to sound so lost.
"Whoever told you was so wrong." Stella said, sassy as usual. "What planet are you from?"
"Planet?" she asked.
"Yes, planet." Stella said.
"I'm from here." She said, now completely confused.
"She's an Earth fairy." Tecna said, finally understanding. "Probably the last one."
"Earth fairy?" Stella asked, looking back at her. "They have those?"
"Yes." Tecna said.
"Okay, we'll talk about this later." Bloom said, shaking her head before turning to face the new fairy. "Do you have magic and do you know how to use it?"
"Of course." She said, sounding a little offended.
"Then you can help us." Bloom said, then she turned back to the Winx. "We need to hit these rock creatures with all we have. They're a lot more powerful than the last ones we-"
"Wait, last ones?" the new fairy interrupted.
"It happened two months ago." Bloom said. "We'll talk about that later. Anyways, they're a lot more powerful, right Tecna?"
"Correct." Tecna said.
"We can either do what we did last time, team up, or just attack the creatures with everything we have." Aisha interjected. "If we can wear them down enough, Bloom can hit them with her Dragon Energy attack to completely obliterate them. It seems to be the only thing that destroys them."
"Wait, who's Bloom?" new fairy asked, still lost.
"Me." Bloom said, raising her hand.
"Why does she have to hit the creatures?" she asked, perplexed. "Don't you all have powers?"
"Yes, but Bloom happens to be the most powerful fairy in the universe." Stella stated, not sounding the least bit jealous of the fact. "One of her attacks is still more powerful than all of ours combined."
"The most powerful?" she asked, trying to follow.
"Yes." Bloom said. "But, again, let's talk later. Everyone ready." Nods from everybody. "Then let's do this."
Bloom zoomed over to one of the creatures. "Enchantix Flame Burst!" She sent multiple bursts of flames in steady successions at the creature, badly damaging it.
"Solar Burst!" Stella sent a ball of light at one of the creatures, that then exploded.
Flora zoomed behind the creatures. "Ivy Vine Wrap!" Flora threw two yellow-green balls into the ground that then formed vines that wrapped around a creature.
Tecna flew in next to Stella. "Electric Storm!" She sent neon green energy balls that exploded on contact into a creature.
"Enchantix Bass Boom!" Musa shouted from above the creatures, forming a large fuschia speaker that pounded loud rock music at the creatures, disorienting them.
Aisha flew up next to Musa. "Morphix Attack!" She sent a blast of Morphix from her hands.
"Wolf Talon!" the new fairy shouted, shooting an aquamarine beam of energy, shaped like a wolf, at the creature.
One of the creatures got a good shot in and knocked Stella and Tecna to the ground, though it didn't hurt, since they're on the beach. For about half-an-hour, both sides traded shots back and forth until, finally, the creatures were worn down enough that Bloom could finally destroy them.
"Keep them busy." Bloom said, shaking herself. "It's gonna get toasty in here." She let out her Dragon and it started twirling around her body, building up energy.
Aisha looked over and saw the new fairy looking at Bloom's Dragon as it wound faster and faster around Bloom in fascination. She flew over to the new fairy, still shooting her Morphix at the creatures, but before she could say anything, Bloom shouted out.
"Get out of the way!" Bloom shouted and the others scattered. "Full Dragon Energy." The Dragon spun three more times before shooting out of her and destroying the rock creatures.
The new fairy watched Bloom's Dragon spin around and around before shooting out of her. Aisha bumped shoulders with her.
"It's amazing to watch the first time, isn't it?" Aisha said with a smile.
"That's her power?" she asked, amazed.
"Yup." Aisha said, then watched as Bloom fluttered to the ground, waiting for the Dragon to rejoin her. The new fairy looked worried, making to go fly over there, but Aisha stopped her. "Bloom's okay. This happens every time she uses too much of her Dragon's energy."
"Why? It doesn't happen to us." The new fairy asked.
"Our power is a separate entity inside of us." Aisha explained. "It's kinda just there. Bloom's, on the other hand, is intertwined with her own life force. When too much of the Dragon's energy leaves, it's like taking some of her with it. Just takes a minute to get her breath back."
Once Bloom's energy levels were back to normal, she flew back up to her friends. "Okay. Now we need to worry. That's the third attack." She shook her head before looking over at the new fairy. "But we'll talk about that later. I want to know how we missed that a fairy was living here on Earth." Bloom said, still looking at the new fairy. "Do you have somewhere we can change back?"
"Where I always change." She said. "Follow me."
The Winx followed the new fairy to a building behind the Frutti Music Bar and entered. Fairy dust encased all of them before they were back to their normal clothes, and in the place of the new fairy was Roxy, the waitress that took their orders earlier, and the owner of the Frutti Music Bar's daughter.
"Wait a second." Roxy said, looking at them. "You six are the new girls."
"Not really new anymore, but I get what you mean." Bloom said with a shrug. "Again, I'm Bloom."
"I'm Stella." Stella said, flipping her hair behind her back, but smiled.
"Nice to meet you." Flora said sweetly. "I'm Flora."
"Musa." Musa said, smiling.
"I'm Tecna." Tecna said with a nod.
"I'm Aisha." Aisha said, giving a smile. "How long have you been a fairy?"
"Since I turned sixteen four months ago." Roxy said before shaking her head. "Oh, I'm Roxy, by the way."
"Yeah, our guy friends told us when you left after taking our drink orders." Bloom said. "You're the owner's daughter."
"That'd be me." Roxy said.
"We need to go somewhere more private to talk about this." Bloom said, crossing her arms, deciding. "You can come back to our house. No one can overhear us there."
"And we can eat dinner too." Musa said, rubbing her stomach. "It's about dinner time."
"I need to go tell my dad where I'm going." Roxy said with an embarrassed grin. "He worries."
"That's fine." Bloom said with a shrug. "We need to tell our friends where we're going anyways. We'll meet you at the entrance."
"Okay." Roxy said before leaving the room.
"Faragonda never told us Earth had fairies." Stella said as they all left the room a few seconds after Roxy.
"I knew Earth did have fairies, I just didn't know Earth still had a fairy left." Tecna said, shaking her head. "I guess we'll figure it out at home."
"What are we gonna tell the guys?" Aisha asked.
"That my aunt called and wants us home for dinner." Bloom said with a shrug as they made it to the table they were sitting at. "Hey guys."
"Hey." Sky said. "Where were you guys? We got worried."
"When we heard screaming, we just stayed in the bathroom." Stella said, eyes mock-wide. "What happened?"
"No one is quite sure." Helia said, shrugging. "All anyone is saying is they saw two giant rocks and fairies. Who knows who's telling the truth? We stayed in here."
"Well, sit down." Brandon said. "Maybe our drinks will get here now."
"We have to leave." Bloom said apologetically. "My aunt wants us home for dinner. Don't ask me why."
"Oh, okay." Sky said, a little upset. "I guess we'll see you girls on Monday."
"Bye." The Winx said, exchanging hugs, before leaving the Bar, where they met up with Roxy outside.
"Everything go alright with your dad?" Bloom asked, getting her keys out.
"Yeah." Roxy said. "I pointed you guys out when you were talking to your friends. Plus, he knows Mike. He knows I'll be fine."
"Does he know you're a fairy?" Musa asked.
"No." Roxy said, shaking her head. "I don't know how to tell him."
Bloom nodded as she unlocked the car and slid into the driver's seat; she looked back and saw that Roxy had slid into the back with Musa and Tecna. They talked about small things the whole way home, waiting to talk about what they really needed to until they got into the safety of their home. Once Bloom pulled into the driveway, the Winx led Roxy to their house and to the table. Roxy looked over at Rachel, a worried look on her face.
"That's Rachel." Bloom said. "She's an ice nymph, so it's okay to talk in front of her."
"An ice nymph?" Roxy asked, eyes wide.
"She another magical creature." Bloom said calmly. "Like we are."
"Oh." Roxy said with a nod. "Okay."
"Hey Rachel." Stella said with a smile. "Could you cook us some dinner?"
"Of course." Rachel said. "Any requests?"
"Surprise us." Stella said. Rachel nodded.
