And so marks the end of my pre-written chapters. Though in actual fact, I only pre-wrote about 3 sentances in this chapter xD

I DREW THE PICTURE! I uploaded it as the cover but I'm thinking of digitalizing and colouring it cause it's on paper and not even coloured... The picture shows Rosé. OH AND IMPORTANT NOTICE! I changed Rosé's name to Rosé which was what it was ORIGINALLY meant to be but I couldn't do an acute accent. But I found out a loophole using Google Translate :D. OH! And I changed the twins' appearance slightly so they would look like identical twins

I found out there's apparently a comic of Winx Club. I think...

Also, I'm confused. In a LOT of Fanfics of Winx Club I've read, Flora calls people 'Sweety' or 'Sweetie' all time time, and in a few she says 'Gooey Gumdrops' (Which made me laugh admitedly :P) and Stella calls Brandon 'Schnookms' and everyone else 'Dahling' or 'Dawling'. Is that in a specific Dub, or the Comic which I recently found out about...? If it's in the Nick dub and I didn't notice... Ignore me, I tend to do that. If not, which dub IS it in? I'm curious...

ANYHOW! I'd just like to quickly say, before getting onto the Story, that I would REALLY appriciate it if you readers just spared some time to just post a small review. I'm not the best at writing, and I'm trying to improve for my English exam in two years, so if you would just take about a minute to write a review telling me what you think, what I could improve on, what might help me to improve, where I've messed up... I would really appriciate that. In fact, I'd appricate it even if your review INSULTED my story! (Just if you do Insult it, please tell me what your insulting and how I can fix it, so I can improve ;)) So if you could, please review, whether it be an insult, critisism or just saying what you think of the story :)

And yes, I'm taking an English exam in two years. Quite a bit of time, but I'm still worried *Gulps*

But! A BIG 'THANK YOU' TO MY TWO FOLLOWERS! You guys are the best! But I apologize for taking so long on the chapter, stuff happened and I got a little bit stuck with what to do on this chapter and how not to make it boring- But I think it's boring anyway .-. . So sorry you two if I let you both down, I'll try to do better next chapter (Which'll hopefully have more action and fun stuff). But if you two could leave a review, that'd make me happy :)

I don't think there's anything else to say... DISCLAIMER TIME! The Winx Club, and everything inside of that awesome show, belongs to Iginio Straffi. While everything else belongs to Me!

On with the Story!

Also, huge apologies if this long-awaited chapter is absolute rot. I knew point A and point B, but I just had to figure out how to get from A to B, so this happened. Sorry

"This is my cousin, Rosé" Theo introduced. Rosé looked at the Winx rather timidly, before saying

"Pleased to meet you..." she mumbled, before looking towards Theo and the twins "Aunt Lilac sent me to tell you to all have a quick wash and warm up, b-because dinner's coming out soon"

Theo nodded "Thanks for letting us know, Rosé". Rosé then turned back to the Winx

"Aunt Lilac would p-probably want me to say this so... Would you like to... *Clears throat* J-Join us... For Dinner?" she asked, a little timidly, as if the Winx intimidated her

"Well... If it's not too much trouble..." Bloom answered, before being cut off

"Don't worry, she's always timid around others, she means no offense" Theo explained, thinking Rosé may have accidentally offended the six

"But still..."

"Oh please, Miss? PLEASEEEE?" begged Lilly, doing puppy dog eyes, causing the winx to all giggle a little

"Alright, alright"

"C'mon, follow me" Theo told them, as he walked towards Rosé with the Winx following, who followed him with her eyes, before turning to the twins

"Come along twins- Aunt Lilac's put me in charge of making sure you have a proper wash before dinner" she said to James and Lilly, who nodded "And that doesn't mean just splashing water on your face" she grinned, making James gasp dramatically

"I would never!" he said in a fake offended tone, before giggling and following Rosé with his sister

"Quite the family you have" Bloom noted to Theo

"Indeedy-doo"

As they went inside, they went to the dining room (Following Theo) and saw a man walk in. The man shared Theo's gingery hair and leaf green eyes, but also had a small gottee beard. He wore a yellow T-Shirt with a red V-Neck and white trousers with a red rim around the bottom of each leg. His hair went down to the middle of his neck and spiked outwards at the bottom in different directions, while his fringe fell forwards just above his eyes. He grinned playfully when he saw Theo

"Theo! Phew! If you hadn't of come back now, I would never hear the end of it from your Mother!" he said, laughing. Theo laughed too

"I must have such good timing. But I doubt Mum would worry that much!" he laughed. Musa cleared her throat, trying to get him to remember they were there "Oh yeah. Girls, this is my Dad, Trystan Jaqualina. Dad, these are the Winx, Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna and Aisha" Theo introduced

"Pleased to meet you! Please, do join us for dinner; I assure you, with my wife's cooking, you won't regret it!" Trystan offered

"We intend to" answered Bloom

"Good to know! It'll be out in around ten minutes, so feel free to look around and make yourself at home. Meanwhile, I have to have a chat to your brother and sister"

The ginger-haired man soon walked by them, and upstairs

About eight minutes passed before dinner started, and the Winx got to meet Rosé's Aunt (Theo's Mum), Lilac Jaqualina, who had beautiful bright ocean blue eyes and light brown hair (But darker then her twin children's) which almost reached the bottom of her shirt, and a fring which had two big and two little locks of hair which pointed upwards, and a blue hairband with a pink flower on top. She wore a blue V-Neck T-Shirt with golden-yellow rim at the bottom of the sleeves and shirt itself. She also wore a light blue skirt, yellow socks and blue flat shoes

"This is delicious!" shouted Stella, who was stuffing her face quickly with the food. Lilac smiled "That's good to know, though be careful on how fast you eat"
Rosé slowly ate hers, looking carefully at each of the Winx members, with an unreadable expression, before turning to her cousin (Theo, who sat next to her) and having a quiet conversation. The twins had already engaged in a very loud one with most of the Winx; Bloom, Stella, Aisha and Tecna, while Flora and Musa spoke with Trystan and Lilac. All seemed to be going smoothly

Soon enough, desert came, and Stella was even stuffing her face with the Chocolate Cake even quicker than before "You've got to tell us your recipe!" she begged, but Lilac denied it "It's Family only, I'm afraid. My Grandmother taught it to my Mother, who taught it to Me, and I've already taught it to Rosé and shall soon teach it to Lilly. However, I will pass on a little secret; Rosé, do you want to tell them?"

Rosé looked up a little from her cake and to her Aunt, before smiling a little and saying "Whenever you bake a cake, you always half the sugar. You don't add any sweeteners, either"*. This, seemed to amaze all the Winx

However, just as things seemed to be going swimmingly, Stella spoke up

"So, do you guys know anything about the 'Hooded Sparrow'? We need to know how to beat it!"

Nothing

No reply

Everyone seemed to have frozen, staring at her

"What? Is it something I said?" she looked confused

Finally, after what felt like forever, Theo spoke up

"You know, it might not be such a good idea mentioning that name to just about anyone..." he said, slowly

"Why not?" Aisha asked

"Well... Let's just say talk about the Hooded Sparrow tends to... Frighten, people. Depending on who it is your talking to, they could calmly tell you to leave or run around in circles screaming at the very mention" Trystan explained "Though there are some who have made quite a few theories, one of which the King has threatened to lock anyone up who spoke about it"

"Lock them up? Could they really be that bad?" asked Bloom "What is the theory, anyway?"

"Well... I don't know too much about it, but Theo does. He'll tell you, so long as you never mention it to anyone. And if anyone ever finds out you know, it never came from us" Trystan answered, making Theo groan a little

"Well it's true!" the older man argued "I know, I know..." answered Theo

"We promise, Mr. Jaqualina" Flora told him, and the others nodded

Lilac stood up "I'll take the twins to their rooms" before the two started to complain, she had already brought them out the room, with Trystan following, saying 'I'll just interrupt'

All eyes were now on Theo. He breathed in deeply, before starting

"Well... The theory is a very confusing one. It is that the Hooded Sparrow... Is... The King's. Well... Child-"

"WHAT!?" Stella shouted, but was instantly shut up by a death glare from Theo

"Anyway... The Theory is that when the Hooded Sparrow was born, the King was happy, but told no one. Why? Who knows. That's one of the many confusions in this. But, it is said that somehow, the Hooded Sparrow killed it's own Mother, Queen Rosalina, and the King was sent into depression, and hated the child. But due to his wife's request, that if she were to die, he tried to bring up the Hooded Sparrow, until one day, nearly seven years ago it disappeared. Ran away from the Palace. And then became the Hooded Sparrow. No one knows whether or not it's true, but a majority of us believe it isn't. The King himself denied it when he was asked, and was angry at how the man who created the theory dared accuse him of being the Father of- As he put it- 'An Unlovable and Murderous Monster'" he told them

"But, I personally believe it isn't true. There are too many loopholes, unexplained things and it makes no sense- Hey!" an annoyed looking Rosé had elbowed him on his arm

"It IS true. I know it! I can feel it!" she argued softly, glaring a little bit at her cousin, who chuckled "Of course, there ARE some people who for some reason believe it's true; Take my cousin for example"

Flora looked at Theo, curiously "You mentioned that the Hooded Sparrow murdered the Queen... Is that true, or also made up?" He kept silent

"No one knows for sure" Rosé answered truthfully "But... It's more than likely how the Queen died..."

Before the conversation could get more into how the Queen died, Stella changed the topic "So is there anything else you guys know about the HS?"

"It attacks at night, around midnight or after, and never ever takes off it's hood. It's almost as if it's ashamed of who it is" the ginger haired boy answered "Nobody knows if it's a boy or a girl, and some even thing it's a robot"

"Hence the 'it'?" Musa asked

Theo nodded "Hence the 'it'. But it's more than likely human. From what I've seen and been told, it's extremely fast on it's feet, and can dodge almost any attack. From that info, I'd say the best way to try and hit it is by distracting it or hitting it while it's off-guard. Of course, I could be wrong. I'm basing this all off info I've been told"

"You must have talked to a lot of people to get that much info" Tecna told him, surprised

"Yeah well... It's not just info I've found out. I've actually seen the Hooded Sparrow, and heard it in an encounter once, while trying to get home one night" he admitted

"You have?" Musa asked "What happened?"

"I'd rather not talk about it. It's not something I like to remember" he gave an apologetic look

"That's understandable" Flora reassured

"But that's pretty much all I know right about now. Sorry if it wasn't much help-" the ginger-haired boy began

"It was helpful, don't worry" Bloom argued, and she stood up, about to leave

Stella, however, wanted to ask one more question before they left

"Hey Rosé, how come your staying with your Aunt, Uncle and Cousins? Where are your parents?" she asked. Rosé froze, and her face paled, despite it already being quite pale. The Winx all glared at her, realizing she had hit a sore spot. Theo himself gave her the scariest Death Glare the Princess of Solaria had ever seen

"I-I... They... My Mother is... *Clears throat* Away... With her parents... And my F-Father" she looked at Theo, who held her hand, which she squeezed tightly "I... Haven't seen him for y-years. I don't know exactly w-what happened but... H-He's not dead! Just... He d-doesn't..." she began stuttering. Clearly this was not something she liked to talk about

"Rosé, stop. If it hurts to talk about it, don't tell us. Just forgive Stella, she can be... Inconsiderate at times" Bloom told her, seeing how the poor girl was getting. Theo smiled a thankful smile at this

"But anyway, thank you for the Dinner, Desert and help, but we'll have to get going" Bloom told him, and he nodded

"Of course; But just a word of advice, don't go saying about the Hooded Sparrow willy nilly. You could cause a lot of upset and chaos by just mentioning the name, and then who knows what'll happen" he advised

"We won't, don't worry" Flora reassured, standing up "But if you need a guide or have any questions about Wimshire, just come ask me or Rosé! Preferably not Rosé for a guide though, she's not the best in large crowds"

"We will! But next time Rosé, don't forget to brush your hair. Some of it's pointing upwards towards your eyes on your face, and it's kinda messy. Oh! And try letting it down instead of pigtails!" Stella told the blonde haired girl, who just raised her eyebrow, unamused

"But my hair naturally does that and I like my pigtails... And hairbrushes hurt" she whined, making the others laugh a bit

Later, after shopping for 'New Outfits' as- As Stella said- "New Mission, New Look", the Winx arrived back at their rooms in the castle and changed into their new clothes**. After changing, they all regrouped in Bloom and Flora's room, talking about the new info they had gathered

"Perhaps that theory will come in handy later on" Tecna wondered, before whispering the next part "If it's true, and the HS did murder it's Mother, the Queen, perhaps it was by accident and it feels guilty about it, or ashamed, and it's weak spot is it's Mother"

"Maybe... That's a good point Tecna!" Aisha told the pink-haired girl

"Or maybe it's Mother died of natural causes and it misses her and was blame for her death. That could also lead to a weak point" Musa mused

"I say that tonight we try and find the HS and follow it- It could lead us to it's base or say something that could be important to us!" Bloom thought up

"I agree, if we can find it's base, we may be able to find that girl it kidnapped" Aisha agreed, and the others did also

"Then it's settled- Tonight, we search for the HS and follow it. No attacking until it sees us or we have no other choice" Stella said

And tonight, I try and sleep. Or not

Umm. So ya. Not really much happening in this chapter, only info gathered, BUT! I SHALL COMMENCE WRITING THE NEXT CHAPTER TONIGHT! I have quite a few plans in store. Oh, and as some of you may have noticed there are a '*' and '**' in this story, it's cause I'm referencing to this A/N, and gonna explain

*- That's actually what me and my Mum do, so it's just a little bit of trivia. I've always halved the sugar cause it's better for you with less sugar and my Dad has diabeties so he can't eat as much sugar. But I have baked half-sugar cakes and muffins and cookies for others and they all say they taste delish, so if you want to, try it yourself! Dunno if you'll like it or not, but I sure do!

**- The new clothes being their Season 6 outfits- Cause I find their Season 6 outfits to be awesome.

But before I go, I'd like to just say another BIG "THANK YOU!" to my Two Followers! You guys are awesome, and give me motivation to write cause I know people are reading and enjoying this story :D! If you could find the time though, please do review :)

Anyhow, remember to review -be it insult, criticism, or helpful tips- to tell me what you think, and I'll see you all hopefully on Saturday or before!

BYEEE!
