genre/story type: romance/humor

rating: k or t

prompt/beginning sentence: okay, here's a backstory first, stella gets mad at mitzi when mitzi starts singing to brandon and joins in the singing. this already happened in season 4 and i'd like to see how it continued after brandon said they both did a well job on the singing while stella dragged him off. also, it would be funny to see mitzi trying to get after them but then getting stopped by one of the girls like flora who then scolds her (in a mean, but funny way)

Submitter: stellaxbrandon

Back to Reality

"Wow that was good. Really good." Brandon stood up and rubbed the back of his head as he turned to face Mitzi.

Mitzi and Stella had just battled for Brandon's attention using music. Mitzi was a stellar singer but Stella fumed at how Brandon could have complimented her. It had been weeks since Brandon had saved Mitzi and now, Mitzi was all over him. Stella had had enough.

"Brandon, come with me." Stella grunted as she grabbed Brandon's arm and pulled him out of the Fruitti Music Bar.

Mitzi smirked as she walked back to her friends. The rest of the Winx turned back towards Mitzi and saw her giggling with her friends. The Winx knew that enough was enough. They marched up to Mitzi and her friends.

"What is your problem?" Aisha demanded as she stepped up to Mitzi's face.

"Oh, I don't have a problem. And now I have Brandon." Mitzi smirked as she looked at Aisha's intense eyes, matching her intensity.

Aisha looked up and down Mitzi as Mitzi clenched her fists. Bloom could tell that things were becoming tense. Bloom placed a hand on Aisha's shoulder and pulled her over to the side to join the rest of the Winx.

"Mitzi, all Aisha is trying to say is that Stella and Brandon are together and it is time to stop...well...this." Bloom motioned at Mitzi and then back at the stage.

"Is Stella not ready for some competition? Sorry that I am better than Stella and the rest of you." Mitzi scoffed.

Bloom bit the inside of her cheek, "You know what..." Bloom was cut off when Flora placed a calm hand on Bloom's arm.

"I think that you should go sit down." Flora smiled.

"Wow, girls." Mitzi smiled as she turned to her friends, "it looks like I am going to face all of these girls and it looks like I am about to face the tree-hugging freak."

Flora took a deep breath and looked at Mitzi as she turned back around.

"Mitzi, Stella loves Brandon very much and Brandon loves Stella. Please stop these silly games. It is not very nice." Flora said.

"Doesn't look like Brandon loves Stella. I guess that he got bored and wanted to move onto something better."

Flora sighed and then rubbed her head, "Mitzi, it is never going to happen. You need to come back to reality."

"I am and the reality is is that I will have Brandon." Mitzi smirked. Mitzi then turned her head and looked at the Specialists who were standing by the bar. "And I am pretty sure that I could have any of your boyfriends too. Including yours. What's his name? Helia?" Mitzi turned and waved, "Hey, Helia."

Helia heard his name and turned around with the rest of the Specialists.

"LISTEN!" Flora yelled. "What is wrong with you, you witch?!" Flora had snapped and the Winx knew that was not good when Flora had started to yell. The Specialists knew this was the case too as they came over to try to diffuse the situation.

"You are a terrible, nasty, ugly, and disrespectful girl. This is not a game anymore! Real people are getting hurt and this has gone past ridiculous. You need to give up this game and go look for your own man instead of trying to take one of ours." Flora pointed her finger in Mitzi's face.

"What is going on here?" Helia asked as he walked up to Flora.

"Nothing, handsome. I really like that shirt that you are wearing. It makes you look so...sexy." Mitzi winked at Helia.

"Uh, it's the same shirt that I always wear for work." Helia replied.

"Well, no matter. I would love to see what it looks like...on my bedroom floor."

"YOU KNOW WHAT!" Flora lunged at Mitzi who recoiled back. Helia and Sky grabbed onto Flora as she fought her way to get to Mitzi. Riven was cheering from the sidelines.

"Let her go!" Riven hollered, earning him a punch from Musa.

Meanwhile, outside Stella and Brandon had made their way to the wet seashore. Stella stared out at the ocean as Brandon looked at her confusedly.

"Stella, I don't see what the problem was with me telling Mitzi that she did a good job." Brandon threw his hands up.

Stella whipped her head around to reveal tears streaming down her face.

"You don't get it, do you?" Stella exclaimed through tears. Brandon's face dropped seeing the woman that he loved in such a state. He walked closer to her but Stella just stepped back and crossed her arms.

"She is trying to steal you from me. Not because she likes you but because she wants to show to everyone that she can. She is using you and for you to not fight it off just makes me think that maybe she is right. That she can have you and I am not good enough."

"Stella," Brandon softly said as he once again walked up to Stella and placed his arms around her, "nobody is ever going to take me from you. I love you. No song or silly girl is going to change that. I promise that the next time that Mitzi tries anything, I will shut her down and run straight to you."

"That is all that I ask." Stella looked up at Brandon and smiled. Brandon lowered his head and captured Stella's lips with his for a short and tender kiss.

"Come on, let's get back to the others." Brandon said before leading Stella back to the Frutti Music Bar.

When they got back, they found Mitzi outside running up to Brandon and Stella. Her hair was a mess and her glasses were broken in her hand. She also had scratches along her cheek. Brandon pulled Stella close to him.

"Mitzi, you ne-" Brandon began but was cut off by Mitzi.

"Brandon, Stella, I am sorry. I was wrong to get in the way of your relationship and I promise that it won't happen again."

Stella and Brandon looked at each other in confusion before Mitzi walked away towards her scooter and drove off.

Stella and Brandon walked into the Frutti Music Bar to see the Winx and Specialists around Flora icing her hand. There were chairs scattered along the floor and tables were knocked over.

"What happened in here?" Brandon asked.

Flora looked up, her bright green eyes now a dark emerald, and responded,

"I handled it."
