Diaspro walked down the grand staircase of her palace. Her parents were waiting at the bottom. They were both smiling at her.
"We are so proud of you, darling. You are our little gem" Diaspro's father said, with a large smile. Diaspro smiled back at him and gave him a hug.
"Darling, I have business to take care of so I have to get going. I hope you have a safe trip to Alfea and a great year." He said, giving her another hug and a kiss on top of the forehead.
"I love you Daddy" Diaspro said as her father walked off to the throne room. He turned around.
"I love you too, darling" He said, lovingly, and walked away.
"I'll walk you out, sweetheart" Queen Sophrina said, gesturing for Diaspro to come outside with her. They walked out on to the front lawn where servants were placing her luggage into a space ship sitting in the drive.
"Diaspro, I hope that you have a wonderful time at Alfea and that your powers grow significantly. But Honey, I highly suggest that you reevaluate your attitude while you're gone." Queen Sophrina said making eye contact with Diaspro. Diaspro knew that this wasn't just a suggestion; it was an order.
"I will, Mother." Diaspro said with an eye roll. Queen Sophrina gave her a stern look. Diaspro started to walk away towards the space ship that would take her to Alfea.
"Don't forget to call me every chance that you get" Queen Sophrina said, her voice breaking. Diaspro stopped in her tracks, tears welling up in her eyes. She had just come to the realization of how much she would miss her mother while she was gone. She turned around and sprinted to her mother. They embraced in a tight, affectionate hug. Diaspro's tears falling on to her mother's shoulder.
"I love you, Mom." Diaspro forced out.
"I love you too. But, I think it's time for you to go. You don't want to be late!" Queen Sophrina said with a smile. Diaspro smiled back and walked over to the space ship and got in.
Diaspro reapplied her make up on the ship. She certainly didn't want to show up to Alfea looking like an ogre. She was in the bathroom doing her final touch ups when the ship began to shake. She grabbed on to the counter to avoid falling over but the ship had a great jolt and Diaspro was slammed into the door. She slumped to the ground and felt the ship stop moving. She collected all of her makeup and stepped out of the bathroom.
"Um, what was that?" Diaspro angrily shouted at the ship's pilot.
"We hit a patch of turbulence and we landed in the forest, about a half mile from Alfea. I guess you'll have to walk." The pilot replied.
"Walk?" Diaspro screamed back.
"Yes. I'll open the cargo bin for you to get your items" The pilot replied, with a hint of an attitude. Diaspro walked off of the ship and around to the cargo bin. She looked inside at the many suitcases.
"How exactly am I supposed to carry all of this?" Diaspro mumbled to herself. She quickly casted a levitation spell on the luggage and began to walk through the forest to Alfea at a brisk pace, knowing the spell wouldn't last very long. Her 4 inch heels weren't helping the cause, either. She finally reached Alfea and with a sigh of relief she lifted the spell from the suitcases, allowing them to fall to the ground. An old, mean-looking woman stood in front of Alfea with a clipboard.
"Hi, I'm Princess Diaspro of Isis." Diaspro said, walking up to the woman. The woman placed a check on her clipboard then snapped her fingers and Diaspro's luggage disappeared.
"Welcome to Alfea. I'm Griselda. Your luggage will be waiting for you in your bedroom." Griselda said and Diaspro entered the gates to the school. She was amazed at the amount of girls standing around in the front yard. Immediately, a girl with short orange-blonde hair walked up to her.
"Hi! I'm Amaryl!" Amaryl said, cheerily.
"I'm Diaspro" Diaspro replied, nervously.
"Wait, are you THE Diaspro? The one that fought Bloom in Freshman Year?" Amaryl questioned with a smile.
"I'd prefer to be known for something else, but yes that was me" Diaspro replied with a slight smile.
"Let me take you to meet my friends!" Amaryl shrieked. She grabbed Diaspro's hand and led her over to a group of girls.
"Girls, this is Princess Diaspro!" Amaryl said to the group. "Diaspro, these are my friends. This is Katy, Jenah, Lolina, and Khadija."
"Hi" The group of girls all replied, cheerfully.
"What year are all of you going in to?" Diaspro asked.
"We're going in to our 4th year. How about you?" Khadija, an olive-skinned fairy with long blackish-brown hair, asked.
"I tested in to 4th year since Isis' fairy school didn't do things the same way as Alfea. I would've been in my 4th year anyway, if I had started here as a Freshman." Diaspro answered.
"Do you have your Enchantix yet?" Lolina, a tan fairy with curly black hair, asked with wide eyes.
"No. I only have my Charmix." Diaspro said, dejectedly.
"Oh. Katy and Amaryl are the only ones out of us that have their Enchantix" Lolina replied.
"But all of y'all will get it this year! No doubt!" Katy, the fair-skinned girl with long and wavy auburn hair, said happily.
"Do you have a roommate yet?" Jenah, the pale girl with medium length black hair, asked.
"Um, Griselda said that my bags would be in my room so I don't know…" Diaspro said, slightly confused.
"Oh honey, you have to sign up for your room and then your bags show up there! Come with us to the Dormitory registry; we need someone else in our room!" Amaryl said, cheerfully. The group of girls walked off to go sign Diaspro up to room with them.
Meanwhile across the lawn, Bloom was staring at Diaspro with her fists clenched and eyes narrowed.
"Who does she think she is?! Coming to MY school! I bet she's trying to steal my Sky from me!" Bloom fumed to her friends.
"Well Bloom, it's not just your school. It's a school for the best fairies in the Magic Dimension. I assume that she met that standard." Tecna said. Bloom turned to her and gave her an awful look.
"Bloom, maybe Diaspro is just here to learn. I talked with her a while back and I think that she's gotten over Sky…" Flora started
"You talked to her?!" Bloom shouted back, cutting Flora off.
"Well, I talked to her a couple of times after the Patchamen kidnapped her. Just to check in." Flora said, meekly. Bloom groaned, loudly.
"Bloomy, maybe Flora is right. Diaspro might just want to learn. I don't know why she would want to do that, but if she wants to get her nerd on then let her." Stella said, trying to calm down her best friend.
"I don't care why she's here! I'm going to let her know that Sky is mine and she can stay as far away as possible. And by as far away as possible, I mean back on Isis!" Bloom shouted at her friends. She turned around and started to walk towards Diaspro, who was at the Dormitory Registry across the lawn. The rest of the Winx Club's jaws dropped. They all knew that this wasn't going to end well.
I hope that Diaspro's personality is coming through better in this chapter. I just wanted to thank everyone that reviewed the last chapter. You all helped me tremendously. I hope that I will continue to receive constructive criticism that is as good as what I have received so far.
Side note: All of the other fairies, aside from Jenah, are actual fairies in the Winx Club universe.
