Chapter 4
(Flora's POV)
I jump at the sound of his voice. I hear him laugh. I roll my eyes at him before going back to sit on his bed and he sits down next to me. "Did you really mean what you said earlier?" I ask him. He nods and I blush. "If you don't mind me asking why are you and your mum so distance?" Helia asks me. I sigh and look up at him. "Well as you know I'm the-" I start but I'm interrupted by the door opening. "Flora!" I hear Roxy says before she hugs me. I nearly fall off the bed. "Sorry about Riven he can be like that." Musa adds as Aisha literally pulls Roxy off me. "Did we interrupt something?" Bloom asks. "No, I need to go talk to my brother anyway." Helia assures them leaving. We close the door. "So are we going to get to hear one of your songs?" Stella asks. They all stare at me hopeful. "No." I reply. They all sigh. "But we could all preform it for a concert at Alfea, I know Headmistress Faragonda and I'm sure Musa can help out with the music." I suggest. They all cheer and nod in agreement. "Wait how do you know ?" Tecna asks me. "My mother knew her and I've met her before once I'll just call her." I tell them as I dial the number. "Hello Flora." greets me. I smile. "I was wondering if me and a few friends could do a concert at Alfea to celebrate the new school year?" I ask her nicely. "That's fine I'll invite Saladin from red fountain." She assures me before hanging up. "Musa start the music lessons." I say grinning. "Sorry girls but I have to go, you know I'm not going to Alfea this year anyway." Roxy says. "Bye." We all say hugging her goodbye as Bloom creates a portal for her and she leaves. Musa teaches everyone how to play, Aisha on the drums, Tecna on the piano, Stella, Bloom and her on guitar but when she gets to me I take a step back. "I can't preform." I tell them. They all stop. "Why not?" Tecna asks. "I-I can't face a crowd." I explain. "You have stage fright!" Musa laughs. "Anyway shouldn't we do this somewhere that isn't Helia's house?" I ask. We all laugh. I scribble down a note before we go through a portal back to their house which is now my new home.
We get to the house and get all the instruments ready to use for practise. "First Flora can sing the song we'll be doing." Musa tells them. They all wait for me and I freeze. I think for a moment before taking a deep breathe. "Well since I caught you all kissing the guys we'll sing this." I tell them as they blush bright red.
(Love you like a Love song- Selena Gomez)
It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with the best of 'em
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A centerfold, a miracle, lyrical
You've saved my life again
And I want you to know baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
Constantly, boy you played through my mind like a symphony
There's no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I've been rescued
I've been set free, I am hypnotized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are, and I want you to know baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
No one compares
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my heart that's what you are
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
I sing. Musa had joined in near the end doing back up singing. The girls clap and cheer. I turn away bright red. "You and Musa have to sing!" Stella cries. I shake my head turning red with embarrassment. "Wait we could do that thing where you sing behind a curtain so no one can see you." Aisha suggests. I sigh and nod. "Fine." I agree. They cheer happily but I have a bad feeling about this, like they're up to something.
(Aisha's POV)
Flora has to preform with us and the others agree! Musa is defiantly happy to have someone else who sings in the group. But we all also agree it's not right for Flora not to get the credit! We're going to make sure she gets the credit. Lets just say we have a little surprise for her at the concert. I mean what's the worst that could happen?
(Flora's POV)
I remember the last time I was convinced to preform in front of people, kind of forced actually, I nearly passed out and I ended up in the bathroom vomiting. This time it'll be better though right? I mean No one will be able to see me they'll have no idea that it's really me! "Hey I've been thinking we're a group now right?" Musa says. We all nod. "Then we need a group name!" She finishes. "Yes it would be logical, just make it easier for everyone to remember us by!" Tecna agrees. "What about the fairy five!" Stella says. We laugh. "What about Winx." Bloom suggests. "I like it." I agree. "Me too." The others agree. "What does Winx mean though?" Aisha asks. "Nothing just Winx." Bloom laughs. "Now it'll be epic!" Stella shouts jumping on the sofa. "What will?" Musa asks. "The Winx against the Trix!" Stella replies causing us all to burst out in laughter. "Oh Stella like that'd ever happen!" Aisha laughs. She starts laughing with us as she sits on the sofa. "Pillow fight!" Musa yells as we all grab a pillow fighting each other. By the end of it we're all on the floor laughing with pillows scattered around the room. "That was epic." Bloom laughs. We all nod in agreement. I suddenly sit up. "Girls we only have tomorrow to prepare before the concert." I suddenly say. They all freeze. "It'll be fine." Tecna assures me. I nod. "You girls fancy eating out tonight?" Aisha asks. We nod and all go. Aisha and Musa drive in two separate cars as they're the only two who can drive. They can drive cars on Earth as well as here. We arrive at a restaurant. "I'm starving." I say as we sit down. "When was the last time you ate?" Stella asks me. "The day Roxy and I got kidnapped and now I'm starting to feel it." I answer and they freeze. It's not long before we get our food which is lucky because by then I'm leaning on the wall feeling faint. I eat slowly but by the time I'm done I feel much better. We pay and leave but the food there was absolutely amazing! We get back to the house and I go to my new room while the others go to bed. "You should really decorate in here." Stella tells me causing me to jump. "What about this?" she asks. The bed turns green as the walls a bright gold with star patterns on. "That's more you Stella." I laugh knowing her favourite colour is green. "This." I tell her. The walls change to a pale pink as the bed changes to a green leaf shape with green covers, a fluffy green carpet and a green desk with a green and pink chair. Then their were all types of plants and flowers, magical and non-magical. The door turns a green as well. "Not too bad." Stella says smiling. I laugh. My favourite colour is pink. "Goodnight Stella." I say as she leaves my room closing the door behind her. I change into my pyjamas and crawl into my new bed. I feel right at home. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
I wake up early in the morning. I walk into the kitchen to see smoke everywhere. I start uncontrollably coughing. I hold my hand up and take in the smoke and possibly fire. I see Stella. She smiles and laugh and so do I. "I tried to cook." She explains just causing me to laugh even more. "I'll cook." I tell her. I cook eggs and toast as well as pouring out glasses of orange juice. I also make some brownies to surprise them later. The others come in. "Something smells good!" I hear Aisha say. I laugh. "I cooked." I say sliding them each a plate and tidying up. I secretly hide the brownies in the fridge as I eat. Stella is the first one to get up, then me then all the others. Who would have thought Stella was an early bird! Well she is the Princess of Solaria. The whole kingdom is basically about sun! So I take it the time it's up then which is about 6am is the time she wakes up. I wake up half an hour later and the girls usually wake up at seven earliest. The girls help me clean up all the plates before we get straight into rehearsing. "Can we stop it's lunchtime?" Stella asks. We all laugh. You'd never think she eats so much. I go into the kitchen. I make some pizza, I learnt from when I visited Earth. I serve it up and again the girls help me clean up. I warm up the brownies and then serve them up with glasses of milk. I share the brownies out equally. "These are amazing Flora." Tecna tells me as we all eat the brownies. "How did you learn to cook so well?" Bloom asks me. "I've always liked cooking it just comes naturally." I answer as we clean up before getting back to rehearsal. "We sound great if I do say so myself." Musa laughs. "Lets try with you singing Flora." Aisha says as they start playing again. I take a deep breathe.
(Love you like a Love song- Selena Gomez)
It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one
So your melody will play-
I sing but we stop as there is a knock on the door. "I'll get it." Stella says. I quickly run and sit on the sofa as do the others and we start talking like we weren't doing anything. "Brandon!" We hear Stella squeal. Oh no! The other guys walk in. The girls walk over to them and each give 'their guy' a kiss. "Are they all dating now?" I ask Helia. "Basically." He replies. "How about a walk through the forest?" He asks me. I giggle and nod. We start walking through the forest away from the house until we stop and sit down. He reads me some poems her wrote and I keep blushing as it keep saying my name. "Flora will you be my girlfriend?" He asks me. I blush like mad and kiss him. "Yes." I whisper in Helia's ear as we pull apart. He kisses my forehead and then we turn back to look at the forest. "You excited to join Alfea?" He asks me. I nod. "But nervous as well." I add. He laughs. "Don't be you're already friends with the girls." He assures me. "The Winx." I correct him. "What?" He asks completely confused. "It's our group name." I explain as we both laugh. "There you two are!" Aisha says as her a Nabu approach. "The others are coming." Nabu adds. "We're here Tecna says as the rest of them arrive. "The guys have offered to take us all to dinner." Musa says. "Everyone order the most expensive things." Stella jokes. "What no we can't afford that." Brandon complains. "Yeah you'll have to pay if you do that." Riven adds. "It's rude to make a girl pay." Bloom teases and Sky's jaw drops. "Technically she's right." Timmy informs us and we all start laughing. "I'll cook it's easier." I say. The girls cheer but the guys look slightly concerned. They've never had my cooking before, I guess I'll surprise them. All of us walk in front of the guys and Aisha, and I walk closer to the boys and we can hear their conversation. "I think we should eat at the restaurant it's probably much better." I hear Riven says. Aisha starts to turn around but I stop her. "I've got it." I whisper. "You can't just let him say that." She whispers back. "Petal storm." I say as A storm of petals swirls around Riven making everyone stop and stare at him. "Do you want to say that again?" I ask him. The guys laugh and so do we. I take back the petals and he glares at me. "You should watch your mouth." Aisha says as we continue walking. She high fives me. We get back and I go straight to the kitchen. What to make there are just so many choices!
