Chapter 2: Powers and Transformations
If I look like Flora, would I be able to do magic and transform to? I pondered outside in the backyard of my house. Now firstly looking like someone doesn't mean you can do what they can, but I changed via wearing a necklace that I assumed was magical, if something like that is possible then using magic wasn't a long shot. To start off I wanted to see if I could hear the trees speak. Concentrating my thoughts I close my eyes and listen to the sounds of nature, birds chirping, the wind rustling through the tree's branches and most of all silence. Suddenly I open my eyes I could hear whispers all around me blowing away in the wind and being replaced by new whispers. The trees were talking. I couldn't help but laugh happily. Next I went to a spot surrounded by flowering plants, focusing my energy I think about what I want to do and then raise my arm at the soil on the ground and released it green energy burst shot at the ground. At first nothing happened but not long after a plant erupted from the ground and bloomed a wonderful purple flower. Internally shouting that I could do magic I went on to the last phase: Transformation.
Considering I had the Enchantix bottle I assumed that I had Enchantix. But how do I transform? In the show they simply shout 'Winx Enchantix!' and transform but surely it couldn't be that easy right? Sighing I give it a shot "Winx Enchantix!" I shout. Nothing happens. "Well I expected as much" I said. Wait maybe I needed to really believe that magic was real and that it was flowing within me and the planet. Giving it another go I concentrate this time feeling the magic inside me flow and grow like all of nature itself, hear the sounds and voices and feel the ebbing power of earth's magic. It was there always had been. Once again I regain my stance a determined look in my eyes I shout again "Winx Enchantix!"
(Just imagine the song playing)
I was showered in a white light 'I was actually transforming' I thought. I could hear the song playing all around me as I went through the same transformation Flora did. As it finished I came back to being in the backyard; walking over to a window I could briefly see myself and what I saw was Flora. Flipping. Enchantix. I was her I had the wings the metal leg wraps the dress and the dust bottle round my neck. It was amazing and I felt powerful too. I decided to try flying, it wasn't so simple but after several crash landings I got the gist of how they worked and I was able to fly up and move around. Soaring through the sky felt amazing, seeing all the buildings and the people below going about their lives was great too. But that became short lived when I noticed what looked like a robber assaulting a young girl. Normally I would try and avoid this but now that I had powers I wasn't going to let him get away with it, going into a dive I sped towards the action. "Please let me go!" shouted the girl "Heh I rather not, I want what's in your bag" the robber snickered "No!" she pleaded "Hold it right there you bastard!" I shouted behind the robber. The robber and girl in peril turned to me in which the robber threw his head back and laughed "Do you really think a little flying girl like you can stop me?" he mocked I returned by saying "As a matter of fact I do!" "Luxuriant Ivy!" I shouted raising my hand and shooting a blast of green energy at the robber's feet, the ground started to rumble followed by a burst of pavement going everywhere with many large ivy vines wrapping around the robber restricting his movements. "Guh…damn you!" he shouts, I couldn't help but giggle a little "the police will help you out later" I say. Turning to the girl I smile a warm smile that made her relax a bit "You can go home but be careful from now on ok" I softly say before turning to depart "Wait… umm thank you but also what is your name?" the girl asked I stopped to think this over for a second before replying simply with "Flora" and with that I fly off back home. When I returned home I made sure my parents didn't see me fly to the backyard. Thinking about turning back I feel myself transform back to my original form, granted that form was Flora's. I knew eventually I was going to need to tell my parents about my change and about being a fairy but that had to wait until I got back from explaining it to my friends. Making my way inside and to my room I don my disguise without the uniform this time but with some unisex kind of clothes and walk downstairs. "I'm going out to see the guys for a bit Mom I'll be back soon" I said "Sweetie are you feeling okay? You sound different" my Mom asks "Uhh yeah just a bit of a cough I think that's all" I reply coughing for emphasis "Ok just be careful" my mother instructs. "Yeah I will bye" I return back. It may be a cliché thing to say to get out of that situation but it worked and that's all I can ask for.
Arriving at our meeting place in a special part of the local park I spot Hayden's new long orange hair and proceed to walk over to him, entering the spot I see everyone else is there too surrounding a fire that was crackling away with heat in the cold air. Pretty soon it would turn to spring again and that meant we needed to tell our family's about the changes before it got to hard to hide them. But that needed to wait till later. Taking my spot I gaze around at the guys each one had taken off their disguises showing the full extent of the transformation. From my perspective I saw the Winx sitting around a campfire while to them a bunch of girls that were boys looking really confused. I took off my disguise in which everyone else looked at my appearance with shock and awe. I knew Flora was hot but damn they all wanted me from those looks. "Guys eyes up and listen to me okay". I state with a hint of annoyance. They all nod in agreement but then Chase spoke up first "Jared you know why we are like this and why we all look incredibly hot?" I looked at him slightly agitated but simply gave him a look that said 'yes' before beginning "Ok…so basically…to sum it up we have changed into the main characters of a show I love". Gaining their interest I continue "It's called Winx Club which is about six girls that are fairies that go to a school for amateur fairies to learn about their Magic". The guys gave brief snickers but listened intently as they really needed to do so. "We are the Winx a group of fairies that fight evil when ever it arises". Hayden spoke up "Ok before this all happened I would of thought that was a joke but if you are serious then we may need to take it seriously as well." "So if we are these magical Fairy girls from a show, what are our powers and what are the names of these girls? We may need to use them considering our original names don't really fit". Ted questioned. "Well, lets see" I say while pointing at Ted "Considering you asked I'll give you yours first. You are Tecna fairy of Technology: She is the brains of the team, she knows a lot about all kinds of gadgets and uses that knowledge to help in their adventures". "Ok then" Ted said with slight confusion. Next I point to Ray "Ray you are Musa: Fairy of Music: Musa is the musician of the group, she has a great singing voice and loves to play all kinds of instruments and listen to all genres too." "Nice" was her only reply. I then turn to John "John you are Aisha Fairy of Waves: Aisha is the athlete of the group, she loves to do different sports, dance and any kind of exercise". "Alright sounds a bit like me" John said. I then turn to Chase who I knew wouldn't like this "Uhh sorry Chase but you are probably not going to be very happy with who you are" I said with dread. Chase gives me a growing angered look but tells me to proceed. "Chase you…you are Stella Fairy of the Shining Sun: Stella is… well to put it she is probably the most girly of the Winx, she loves to design, create and wear dresses and is a major shopaholic". "What! You're kidding me they all get something interesting and I get the girly girl of the group, the hell is this!" Chase shouted "Musa can you calm him err her down a bit" I ask. "Sure thing" she replies, Lastly Hayden looking to him I say his character "Hayden you are Bloom Fairy of the Dragon Flame: She is the leader of the group and to be frank without her the group wouldn't of come to together, she is an artist that loves to draw and has a bit of a temper when really pissed off". Hayden simply nodded, John/Aisha spoke up asking me a question "What about you Jared who are you?" I smiled and explained "I am Flora Fairy of Nature: She is my favorite of the Winx, she is the kindest and sweetest of the Winx, she loves all natural wildlife and vegetation and has a knack for potion making and taking care of plants, I may be a bit less kind then she his but still keep up that appearance." "Ok guys tomorrow after we tell our parents of this I need to teach you about magic and transforming because I sense that we may need to pretty soon" Departing from our meeting spot we return home trying to think of a good way to explain to our parents how we turned into girls and fairies.
