Chapter 6: Tecna

"Did you hear about Carla?"

"I heard she becomes characters from little girl TV shows."

"I bet it's fake."

"I saw her for myself in band class."

"I saw it in AG class."

"Wow, that's so cool."

"Yeah, she wishes she was cool. It's just Winx Club."

Around a high school, word travels fast. It can be hard to decipher truth from gossip, but this is definitely truth. Everyone was talking about the strange occurrences, and everyone had their own opinions about it. In a few short days, Carla had gone from practically invisible to having everyone ask her about her powers. Carla herself was unsure of how she felt about the change. She loved talking to young girls about it, because they had already believed in fairies to begin with. It was people her own age and up that had a problem with it. To them, it seemed impossible and unnatural. The few who accepted the idea only accepted it because they thought they could take advantage of her powers.

One day, she was casually taking a walk downtown, when she was approached by the three snobbiest girls in school: Tera, Penelope, and Leona. Penelope's little sister also accompanied them.

"Hey, I head you could become Winx girls," Tera said.

"That's right," Carla replied.

"Prove it," Tera challenged. "Become Tecna and do our calculus homework."

"No! Tecna would never do that!" Penelope's sister objected.

Carla rolled her eyes. It was useless for people to think they could take advantage of Carla's change ability like this. Penelope's sister was completely right – Tecna would never do such a thing. Becoming Tecna wouldn't just make her smart, but also make her like Tecna, therefore it wouldn't be possible to give in to Tera's demands. Even if Carla did have that much control over what Tecna did, she wouldn't want to submit to these girls anyway. There really was no point.

However, rather than walk away quietly, she decided to have some fun with them and actually show them that Tecna wouldn't do it, and give the little girl the satisfaction of having proved her point to her sister. She initiated the transformation, and there was Tecna.

"Whoa, I didn't think she could actually do it!" Leona whispered to the others, who were clearly shocked as well.

"Now do our work," Penelope said as she tried to hand Tecna the calculus book.

"Absolutely not," Tecna replied. "That would be illogical, as you wouldn't learn anything. Do it yourself."

A huge smile grew on the face of the little girl. "It really is you, Tecna!" she said as she wrapped Tecna in a big, tight hug.

Tecna/Carla smiled. Well, more like Carla smiling in Tecna's body. Part of being a Winx girl was being a role model. The original Winx girls would know this well, considering the show was watched by thousands of little girls across the globe.

Carla liked to imagine sometimes how the Winx girls would react to their TV show if they were actually real. Yes, even though Carla now accepted the fact that she had powers, she was still a skeptic to the idea of the Winx girls themselves actually existing.

Only time would tell.

End of Chapter 6

A/N: Only one more Winx girl to go. Then we get a little more into the seriousness.

I'm having a bit of a fanfiction day today, since I have no school. I've already updated one of my two crossovers, now this one is updated, too. Two down, two to go. :)
