Chapter Five: The Truth

It's been three whole weeks since the Jaguar attack and so far there hasn't been much excitement except for the few romantic moments.

~Flashback~

They decided to go out on the group date one Friday after the part at the beach. Stella's head was on Brandon's lap, the two of them were just talking about random stuff about themselves. Flora was leaning on Helia while Helia's making an origami. Musa and Riven are taking a nap, unconsciously cuddling. Sky and Bloom are walking hand in hand by the shore talking sometimes picking up shells every now and then. Tecna and Timmy are playing a video game in Tecna's laptop. Layla and Nabu are surfing. Daphne even called to tell them that Facebook and Twitter are going crazy with tweets and posts about them. Their pictures from that date were on the cover of every entertainment tabloid and newspaper the day after.

"I'm sorry, I hope you guys aren't uncomfortable about this," Sky apologized during dinner Saturday night.

"Don't worry about it, Sky. We shouldn't be uncomfortable because this is what we signed up for," Bloom replied.

"Yeah, even though that kind of popularity is unnerving and very overwhelming," Stella said.

"And hey, posing for the crowd and protecting you guys from danger is a part of our job," Layla agreed.

"Thank you for understanding then," Timmy said as he gave Tecna's hand, which he's been holding, a squeeze.

They went to the amusement park the next day and they all separated into groups of two to enjoy the rides and the booths of the park. They had fun like usual. Every time they go out on dates, their back-up team and Roxy are always out to protect them. Little do they all know, that someone in the shadows is watching them closely waiting for the right time to strike.

~End of Flashback~

They were all lounging in the garden, Timmy and Tecna kept on glancing at her laptop every now and then. Helia is teaching Flora some origami folds. Riven is casually strumming on a guitar and Musa, who was leaning on Riven's shoulder hummed in tune. Bloom and Sky are just lying down on the grass. Stella and Brandon sat facing each other with Stella drawing her best impression of Brandon in paper. Layla and Nabu are chasing each other around the garden until Nabu falls on top of Layla both laughing. Until Nabu gave Layla a peck on the lips. As soon as Nabu got off of Layla she ran off into the house.

"Layla, wait!" Nabu called out, catching the other's attention, thus breaking the atmosphere.

"Wait a minute, Nabu. We'll go and talk to her instead. In fact, let's all go inside. Layla, if you can hear me, go to Tecna's room," Flora said.

Once the Winx were in the "sanctuary" of Tecna's room, Layla had her head down, while Tecna sat in front of the computers. The Specialists are in their dance studio, practicing some moves for the next concert.

"Layla, why did you run out of Nabu like that?" Stella asked.

"He kissed me," Layla replied in a barely audible voice. However, with Musa's trained ears it didn't go unnoticed.

"So what if he kissed you? We're on a job here, Layla," Musa said.

"So, I'm falling in love with him! I ran away because I don't want my emotions to cloud my judgement!" Layla yelled. She was grateful that the dance studio is soundproof so the men in question wouldn't hear.

The girls were all too stunned to answer. It took a while before Bloom spoke, "You're not alone in that Layla."

The rest nodded their agreements.

"So, what do we do?" Tecna asked. They all turned to looked at Stella.

"We act as if nothing happened. We both can't have the same things you guys. Besides, even if there are kissing involved, the guys won't make much of a deal of it because they've done it before and they know we're doing our jobs here. I don't think they want any serious relationships now. Plus, if the Jaguars are after us, we'll be risking a peaceful and safe relationship," Stella said.

That said, am I really sure about what I said? Stella asked herself.

Suddenly, the alarm blazed. Out of panic, they rushed to the dance studio, the boys look annoyed but once they saw their bodyguards' faces, their reactions turned into something unreadable.

"We are basically trapped," Tecna hissed.

"We jump through the window?" Sky proposed.

"You did look at why the alarm is blazing right now, right, Tecna?" Bloom asked.

Tecna smiled sheepishly and looked at her screen.

"False alarm, do you know her?" Tecna asked.

"Crap! Guys, it's the big lady!" Timmy yelled in horror while the guys groaned exasperatedly.

"Boys?" the lady called out.

The Specialists pushed the Winx out of the studio. The girls looked at them in suspicion.

"We're not here," Helia whispered before locking the door.

The girls met an old lady who looked like she was in her early sixties. Her clothes almost made the Winx laugh out loud as they understood why the boys were panicking. On the lady's shirt, it was there printed in big, bold letters; I'm the Specialists Fans Club President.

"Oh, it's you, girls. What are you doing here?" asked the old lady.

"Um, we live here with our boyfriends. Do you want something to drink?" Flora replied.

"I'm fine, I did not come here to see you. I came to see the Specialists," the lady said.

"Okay but we're sorry to say that they went to out to discuss business with Daphne. They won't be back until dark, though. Do you want to wait?" Stella asked.

"No, it's fine. Just tell them I came over," the lady answered.

"Do you want us to give something to them?" Bloom asked.

"No, I'll personally give it to them." With that, the lady left.

Author's Note: So what did you think? Sorry I had to cut it short. Something came up. Also, the old lady plays a big role to this story please don't forget about her. Anyways, see you guys in the next chapter.
