CHAPTER FIVE
Tecna, Tess and Tayla
Bloom scrambled onto her glossy bike, followed by an eager Kiko. She smiled as the wind hit her face and she started pedalling forward. All this tension between Sky and her was getting to her head and she didn't know how to deal with it. So, she did the first thing she thought of and hopped onto her bike and went on a quick cycle through Gardenia. Of course, being Bloom, she couldn't help but make a few stops on the way. After all, it had been months since she'd last seen anybody.
"Bye Bloom!" Tayla said, happily waving her hand. "Come visit me later, okay? I'll gather Mira and Bria, we can have a girl's night out. Like in middle school, okay?"
The red-head smiled back at her old best friend, "Sure Tay, I'm pretty sure I'll be here for a long time!"
Giggling, she pedalled away, occasionally turning to wave at Tayla. Smiling to herself, she kept pedalling. She heard Kiko give a shrill cry from the front basket and Bloom's eyes flashed open. Before she could register what was going on, she had flown straight into a person and stumbled three feet back. Kiko bounced over to her, departing himself from the basket of her broken bike. Groaning, Bloom sat up to take in who she had crashed into. She looked up at the gleaming red scooter and the person with familiar black hair.
"Mitzi," Bloom said, disgusted.
Mitzi looked up from her scooter and groomed her long black hair. She looked down on Bloom, from her orange glasses. "Hmm...so you're back from reform college? The studies there must be very poor, considering they'd let you on break. Shouldn't you be going through exams right now? Where are those pathetic friends of yours?"
"They're not pathetic!" Bloom growled, clenching her fists.
Mitzi snorted, disdainfully, "I suppose you're right. They're beyond pathetic."
---
Bloom sighed, climbing onto her bike. She'd managed to revive it with a simple repairing spell, but Mitzi was another thing. As much as she'd tried to keeep her anger in check, Mitzi's rantings made her lose it and she'd ended up singing the hep of Mitzi's newest dress. She wrinkled her nose as she thought about Alfea. If anybody had seen her, she'd be in definite trouble. Thankfully, though, Griselda couldn't suspend her magic now that she didn't attend Alfea.
The red-head tapped her foot on the pedals and started the bike. She weaved through the trees and wentto the first place she could think of - the park. After a few minutes journey, Bloom stepped off her bike and collapsed on a nearby tree stump. She really needed to learn how to control her powers better, if she accidentally lost control, she could set fire to the entire Gardenia...or worse. Bloom sighed again, tucking her red hair behind one ear.
She closed her fist and then slowly uncurled it, revealing a shiny jewel in the shape of a heart. Bloom gasped and slowly brang it up to eye-level. The shiny metal glinted and Bloom wandered what it was. She closed her eyes and when she opened it, she saw her locket was glowing an eeire blue colour. The jewel was glowing too, and it was pulling itself towards the locket. Bloom tried to pull it away, but the jewel repelled against her force. Soon, it had joined itself with her locket, much to Bloom's amazement.
Suddenly a light flashed from Bloom's locket and a small picture of Stella materialized. Stella looked worried, but once she registered Bloom's face, she sighed in relief.
"Oh Bloom! I've been trying to contact you for hours!" Stella said in relief.
Bloom looked confused, "What do you mean?"
"What you've found is your Key, the one Ms F told us about." Stella explained, "I've already contacted all the girls and they've found their Keys too. Except....Tecna. Nobody can get in touch with her, not by cell or magi-cam or anything. Her parents can't find her either...it's like she disappeared off the face of the Universe."
"Oh." Bloom said, worried. "I hope she's okay. But Stella, what happened to you? You look like you've been crying..."
Stella sighed, "Long story...anyway, I have to go now. Musa's calling me and I have to give her the good news..."
"Good news?" Bloom asked, looking at her oddly.
"Yes," Stella replied, rolling her eyes, "You found your Key right? The girl's can now contact you without going through magic barriers. By the way, you'll know if somebody's calling you when you feel something through you. It's different for each girl. When you get a call from me, you'll feel it on your ring finger. Musa's is on your ear and Layla's is on your ankle. Elizabeth's is on your nose and Flora's is on your waist. To get the call, touch your locket. It took me a while to figure that one out, so I thought you might want to know."
"Ok," Bloom thanked, "Thanks Stell. So I'll catch you later?"
"Yup. I'll Key-call you. Bye." Stella said.
Bloom grinned, "Bye."

The fiery princess played with Kiko's soft ears, humming a tune to herself. Her red hair fell to her face as she reflected on the fun times she'd had when she attended Alfea. Then the recent events of the year floated to herself and Bloom found herself wondering how you could become such close friends with the person you were enemies with. Of course, she meant the Winx and Elizabeth, who'd worked on getting her revenge on the other six girls for some time now.
Bloom curled a lock of red hair around her finger and watched as Kiko bounced off her lap. He swayed for a bit and then hopped off into the bush, pointing his blue ears in Bloom's direction. Clearly, he wanted her to follow him. Confused and perplexed, Bloom stood up and followed her hyper bunny into the woods. She noticed that the farther she went, the more off the forest trail they went. At first the fire fairy thought that her bunny was playing tricks on her, but soon she came to a small clearing and she saw a pretty blonde-haired girl talking to a muscular man.
The girl glanced in Bloom's direction, but the princess managed to mutter an invisibility spell just in time. The girl shook her head and went back to her chat with the man, obviously she had sensed Bloom's presence.
---
"I don't Reggie," The girl sighed, "I shouldn't even be here right now...I'm supposed to be at college."
The man, Reggie, also sighed, "It was Lilli's orders, Tess. You have to obey them, wether or not she is your headmistress."
"I know," Tess said, "But I miss Marnie so much!"
Reggie spoke next, "Tess, you have a mission here. If you go back, you'll be in danger!"
"I can be protected," Tess protested, "I've already missed half of the college year and I missed graduation..."
"You graduated," Reggie interrupted, "Just not in the place you were supposed to."
Tess whined in protest, "If I go back, my father will alert all the security. Remember Reggie, I'm Princess of Creatia and a full-fledged fairy."
"Just because you earnt your Enchantix!" Reggie cried.
Tess's eyes widened as she hissed, "Stop talking so loud or you'll blow your cover! Ms Faragonda will not be happy if you do! Even if I graduated from Alfea, we both are under the protection of Ms F!"
"Shesh," Reggie growled, "Well, I'm going to contact Lilli to tell her your...lack of co-operation. Your tutor, Mr Mogg, will arrive in a few days. He's making sure he knows everything about Enchant's syllabus. Now, I'll leave you and stay out of trouble!"
"Hmmf." Tess said, stoutly.
---
Bloom un-did the invisibility spell and decided to confront Tess. She had heard enough to know that she wasn't a typical Earth girl. She took a deep breath and stepped out of the shadows. The girl, who hadn't noticed the determined red-head, was clenching her fists and glaring in the direction that Reggie had gone. She hissed at the trees and whipped around, shock instantly appearing on her face. She looked at Bloom in surprise and obviously had no idea what to say.
"So," Bloom said, trying to break the awkward silence that hung in the air, "Creatia, huh?"
Tess looked at the girl in front of her, realising that she'd heard her entire conversation with Reggie, "Um...it's just y'know...role-play."
Bloom saw that Tess didn't want to reveal anything, so hiding a smile, she said to Tess, "Okay, um...do you mind if I join you? Role-playing?"
"Oh...okay..." Tess said, combing back her silky blonde hair.
---
"Hi, my name is Bloom Peters."
"I'm Tess Alexandra Sterell. Well, Princess Tess of Creatia, in role-play."
"Okay, well then I'm Princess Bloom of Domino. Well, I guess I'm not really, because it's all frozen."
Tess cocked her head, shocked at the words which had come out of Bloom's mouth. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out. Bloom noticed the girl's shocked expression and continued.
"I'm a fairy and I control the Dragon Fire. I used to go to Alfea, school for fairies and I'm part of the Winx Club. In my freshman year I defeated three witches who had stolen my powers. In my next year, I battled against the Shadowhaunt master, Lord Darkar but instead I ended up turning evil. Though, my boy - I mean ex-boyfriend saved me. In my last year at Alfea, I fought against Baltor, this creepy dude with the same power as me! Anyway, now I go to Enchants College."
The blonde-haired girl shook her head, and looked at Bloom with wide eyes. "Is this still a role-play?"
Bloom laughed at Tess's reaction and shook her head, "No. I heard enough from that previous conversation to know that you were not from Earth."
"That's why I felt a presence in the forest..." Tess realised, "You did an invisibility spell, didn't you?"
"Yeah," Bloom said, sheepishly, "Sorry about that."
"So..." Tess said, running a hand through her blonde hair, "I guess I should tell you about myself?"
Bloom grinned, "Yeah."
---
"I'm Princess of Creatia, realm of creativity. I'm the fairy of jewels and I have one sister, Marnie, fairy of glitter...or you could call it sparkles. I was supposed to graduate last year at Alfea, but Ms Faragonda sent me on this big mission like days before graduation day. Midst of our war with Baltor too! Anyway, I'm supposed to be looking for something and recently I found it, so I've been trying to persuade Reggie to send me back to Magix."
Bloom looked at Tess, curiously. The two girls were walking around the forest, with Kiko cuddled up in Bloom's arms. "What were you supposed to be looking for? I mean...you don't have to tell me, but..."
Tess laughed, "It's okay. I was supposed to look for this immense power...like an Enchantix boost-up...It's called..."
"Fairix?" Bloom interrupted. She giggled at Tess's expression, and pulled out her locket in explanation. "Yeah, apparently I'm supposed to look for it too. Along with Stella, Musa, Layla, Tecna, Flora and Elizabeth. I came here because technically...Domino is frozen."
"I wonder why? I'll have to ask Ms F when I go back to Magix." Tess said, "Anyway, you said that guy who saved you from Darkar...you know Sky? He's your ex-boyfriend? I thought you guys were like the strongest couple in the entire Magix! What happened?"
"Well..." Bloom began, uncomfortably.
ZENITH
Tecna's eyes fluttered open as she sat up. The events of the previous night flashed into her head as she turned her face around, to examine her wing. She sighed when she saw the big rip and quickly de-activated her Enchantix. She lifted her head up to take in where she was and she gasped when she saw the place she had landed. She looked around at the familiar icy floors and the view of the entire Zenith, she had been to this place so many times before she had entered Alfea!
The first time she had come here was when she was looking for reception on her laptop. She'd transformed into her new Winx and she flew and flew until she landed on an icy mountain-top, where she could access everything in high-speed. Ever since then, she'd always come to this same spot. Tecna smiled to herself and moved her hands around, trying to feel for her phone.
She soon found it and lifted it to her face. Next to the similar green phone, there was a shiny little emerald shaped like a chip. In the middle there was an engraved 'T'. Tecna gasped at the sight and lifted it up to the sunlight.
"According to my calculations..." Tecna muttered to herself, "This is purely magic and it looks like it materialized only now...I think I was meant to find it..."
A/N:
Not as short as I intended it to be. I split the whole thing with Tess and Bloom up because I just didn't know how to flow it. Sorry, I'm in a very crappy mood. Anyway, I KNOW there is a lot of conversation, but I can't just get Tess to suddenly say that she's from Magix, can I? Well, hope you enjoyed and ONCE AGAIN: pardon my writing - I'm feeling VERY crappy now!
Review!
