Disclaimer: I don't own Winx Club
Chapter Nine: Meeting You Again
It's been two years since the Winx went under the radar. Two years since they lived their lives as civilians. It wasn't long before the agency caught the man who was after them. He's the notorious drug lord who the Winx put in jail. He wanted revenge after he was released under the sentence of three-year imprisonment. Actually it wasn't the agency who traced the culprit but the Specialists themselves. Since the Specialists kept on insisting that they be assigned on the investigation. The Winx was put in the dark about this. Now, the Winx still has their Lamborghini and they share a penthouse condo. They still work in the pet shop but because of the money they earned and saved from the agency they were able to buy the penthouse and the pet shop from Ms. Faragonda's friend.
"Stella, we're going to be late, hurry up," Bloom said.
"Remind me again why we have to attend Roxy's party. For all we know, the Specialists could be there," Stella said. After two years, the Winx are still in love with the Specialists.
"We have no choice, we don't want to disappoint Roxy who, may I remind you, personally invited us at the shop yesterday, now get yourself ready," Musa countered.
"Sorry, Stella, we're siding with Musa this time," Tecna said while trying to apply some eyeliner.
"Give me that, I'll do it," Stella said.
Tecna sighed.
"Are we really sure you want to risk it?" Flora asked.
"It'll be okay, Flora. As long as we stick together at the party. Look on the bright side, we'll see Roxy again and everyone else who's invited," Layla said.
Bloom's wearing a white beaded tank top, a light blue skater skirt and silver wedges.
Stella changed into a gold sequined dress with a pair of matching gold wedges.
Musa's wearing stunning red dress with a gold belt and black heeled knee-high boots.
Tecna's wearing a black tank top and a tight purple skirt and her purple 4-inch heels.
Flora's wearing a pink with black beads dress with a pair of pink 5-inch heels.
Layla's wearing a sea green tank top and a white frilled skirt and her matching green wedges.
Their hairs were styled, thanks to Stella's insistence, in different styles of loose buns.
"Are we ready to go?" Layla asked.
"Yup, I think we are. Let's go," Stella said.
"We're not going to drink, are we?" Bloom asked.
"No," Tecna answered.
"Let's go," Musa said.
At the party, they immediately noticed the old faces from the agency who crowded them with greetings, questions, and a few hugs. They greeted the hostess party after the crowd began to disappear.
"Girls, can you please sing?" Roxy asked.
"But, we haven't sung anything for the two years so we might sound rusty, are you sure about that?" Musa asked.
"Absolutely. I just missed how you'd bring the whole Alfea division to life with your songs," Roxy explained.
"If you're so sure, then why not?" Stella said.
The girls got to the center of the dance floor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, may we have your attention please?" Layla asked. The guests became quiet.
"In honor of our hostess for the night, we'll be giving you a small performance," Bloom said while smiling causing their audience to cheer.
Now Playing: Bang Bang by Jessie J, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande (A/N: I'm not going to do the lyrics but Jessie J's parts are sang by Layla and Flora, Ariana's parts are sang by Bloom and Stella while Musa and Tecna are going to rap Nicki Minaj's parts.)
After their song, the audience chanted for an encore. The girls couldn't help but do what the audience wants since Roxy is also chanting with the audience.
Now Playing: The Story of Us by Taylor Swift
[Bloom]
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
People would say, "they're the lucky ones"
[Stella]
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
[Tecna]
Oh, a simple complication
Miscommunications lead to fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can't break through
[All]
Now I'm standing alone In a crowded room
And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know
Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
When it all broke down and the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now next chapter
[Musa]
How'd we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me
[Layla]
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should have held me
[Flora]
Oh, I'm scared to see the ending
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I've never heard silence quite this loud
[All]
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know
Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
When it all broke down and the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
[Bloom and Stella]
This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side
[Musa and Tecna]
The battle's in your hands now
But I would lay my armor down
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight
[Flora and Layla]
So many things that you wish I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon
[All]
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know
Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
When it all broke down and the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, the end
This resulted to a standing ovation from the audience.
Meanwhile, in the back of the room six nicely built gentlemen eyed the girls at the center of the dance floor. Sky had his hand on his chest where his heart is located. Brandon was frowning. Riven was glaring at the Winx. The floor suddenly became interesting for Nabu. Timmy flipped his open and stared at his wallpaper. Helia sipped his beer. They know Roxy because they enlisted her as the sniper during their infiltration mission. Roxy didn't tell the girls just who was it that was after their blood and who captured the criminal. Roxy walked up to them.
"You're not mad that I invited them, are you?" Roxy asked.
"A bit, because you kind of put us in the dark about this, Roxy," Sky said.
"You're supposed to be glad to know that they're fine. Living the moment as you saw earlier while they were singing," Roxy said.
An idea hit Riven because of what Roxy said.
"Hey Roxy, do you think you could play this song for us?" Riven asked.
"Yeah, sure why?" Roxy asked, curious.
"Just do it," Nabu said, finally understanding what Riven is up to. They stood in the middle of the stage, microphones in hand while the Winx gaped at them.
Now Playing: All Of Me by John Legend
[Sky]
What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
[Brandon]
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright
[Timmy]
My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
[All]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh
[Riven]
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
[Nabu]
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you
[Helia]
My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
[All]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh
Give me all of you, oh oh
[Riven]
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all though it's hard
[All]
Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
I give you all of me
And you give me all, of you, oh oh oh.
After their song, the crowd erupted into cheers, while the Winx were just glued to their spot gaping at them. The Specialists smirked.
The Specialists walked up to the Winx.
"Hey, how have you been?" Sky asked.
"Really? That's what you say after two years of not seeing us," Bloom scoffed.
"Okay then, what do you want us to say then?" Brandon said.
"I don't know, what do you want to say to us?" Stella countered.
"We won't get anywhere with this," Timmy said.
"And how would you know that?" Tecna asked.
"Wait a minute, why are we fighting? Guys, we're supposed to be apologizing to the girls," Helia reminded.
"Are you now?" Flora asked.
"That's why we came to Roxy's party, hoping that we'll get the chance to tell you what we feel," Nabu said.
"That's what the agency's psychologist is for," Layla said.
"We don't need a psychologist, dammit! We need you!" Riven exclaimed. Everyone in the party were too busy to pay attention except for the hostess of the party herself and her date.
"What did you say?" Musa asked.
"I thought our song made it clear for everyone in the room what we feel for the six ex-agents of Magix who managed to capture our hearts and we betrayed them in turn. Bloom, I love you," Sky said.
The girls were in tears now.
"Stella, I love you. Please don't cry anymore," Brandon said, before pulling Stella in an embrace.
"Musa, I love you so much, I don't even know how I managed to stay alive in the two years you weren't in my life," Riven said, giving Musa a kiss on the cheek.
"Tecna, I love you from the bottom of my heart," Timmy said as he hugged Tecna.
"I love you, Layla. Don't you dare run away again," Nabu pleaded.
Helia gave Flora a rose origami. Flora arched an eyebrow before slowly unfolded it, revealing the three words; I love you.
The girls chorused their own "I love you, too."
Author's Note: This chapter is even longer than the usual chapters. Anyway, what do you think? I was feeling inspired so I decided to upload twice. Please, leave a review. The epilogue will be up soon, I hope.
