Chapter 5 Alfea, Secrets and Lesssons

At Alfea School for Fairies

In the Atriums at Alfea, a young fairy is hard at work transplanting her latest herbs into their new homes for the semester, when a loud shout broke through the silence.

"AHH! It's the guys" yelled a Blonde in a green dress with pink candy cane strips, as she rushed in, "Flora, stop playing that disgusting dirt and get changed! NOW!"

" Stella, I need to get this done before tomorrow or I won't have time with classes starting ", Flora replied as Stella shot her the you-need-a- cute-boyfriend look.

"Flora, all freshman year you were single," Stella said "you didn't even have crush you were so obsessed with your school work."

"Let's not forget the 'Witch Invasion', Stella, which took a lot of recovery work."Flora insisted, "And I wasn't interested in anyone."

"Find some, anyone heck even Knut would due," She paused in med, "Okay maybe not Knut but any guy, hygienically clean; that is, would be great."She said leaving Flora to her plants.

"I'm not like you and the others." Flora said to the empty room, "Guys don't go for the 'Wallflower'. I'm not flirty like, Stella. Or brave like Bloom. I'm nowhere near intelligent as Tecna or Cool as Musa." Sighing she finished the last twelve pots in silence and went out to greet the guys.

Flora found all of them sitting on the steps of the quad.

"…they were all the rage at wizapolza."Musa defended her pigtail style to Stella who has been harping her about changing since Musa showed up at the dorm room.

"Cut it out, Stella, let her where how she wants."Bloom said as Stella was about to retort, She sat next to Sky, her unofficial boyfriend. They were dating last year before Sky got busted for not only lying to Bloom about his identity but he 'conveniently'forgot he was engaged! He's still on thin ice with her. Flora thought as she approached them.

"Can please talk about something else, something less girly." The request came from the brooding red head that was just walking up to them, having just arrived. Riven, Flora thought

"Riven, in case you haven't, you know, noticed most of us are Girls." Musa shot back at him, Riven and Musa were an unknown status since last year , when started dating Darcy(chills), though during the invasion he blurt out to Musa that he liked her but ran off before the shock wore off of Musa. If either one of them gave a hint of what they felt for each other they hid it hide their bickering.

"Whatever, Musa," Riven backed down, "Did you hear the about the new class at Red Fountain?"

The girls shook their heads.

"It's called Defensive Offensive," Timmy informed the group, "it supposed to be teach us , sort of mix martial arts, like using a Bō, a sai, how wield two katana and even cooler nunchakus!"

"That's not the cool part, idiot, rumor going around the weight room is that they're bringing a new instructor in for part of the class."Riven informed the group.

"Yeah, I heard about that, but they're not telling anyone who it is. Even the teachers are in the dark and but from what heard it was this last year's champion defensive fighter from Limphea." Sky said

OH, Shoot! Flora thought as she looked back on last summer.

"Yeah, I heard of him though none of the guys who fought against him are willing to talk about it."Brandon volunteered, "They gave me some pretty life threatening looks. So he had to have been pretty young. …I mean Mikey is a nice guy but the very mention the guy and he turns into Mr. Doomsday" The guys chuckled.

Leaving the girls to asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Well, the class is suppose to be about traditional fighting, you know Bloom, like in Japan. Samurai and ninja stuff, though its advance anyone can sign up for it."Timmy said adding with a cheeky grin "I know Riven has!"

As the guys laughed, Riven replied "And I signed the rest of guys up too while I was at it." The guys stop laughing. Then exploded with a 'RIVEN!'They looked about to attack him when the girls started laughing.

"I'm sure a guys will do great." Bloom said while the other nodded, "I mean guys were awesome all last year during the witch invasion."

"She's right guys will have no problem."Flora said cheerfully while she thought, God I hope they drop that course!

"Your right," Sky says "We'll ace the class with flying colors!"

"Yeah!"Everyone shouted as while Flora was mentally kicking herself for saying anything.

"well it was nice see you, guys," Flora said needing to making a quick exit.

"See, ya!" They shouted but Flora was too busy to hear, as she started to punch numbers in into her phone. A The phone rang for what seemed like forever for Flora, when a man answered "Flora how's my little Lilly doing?" He asked.

"Please tell me you didn't agree for me to be a guest instructor over at Red Fountain this year!"

"Well, of course, Honey. But I wanted to Surprise you!"He whined.

"Dad, you have to tell them no!"Flora pleaded with him, "None of my friends know about it and I defiantly don't want them finding out from their boyfriends!"

"So, tell them. I think they'll understand, Sweetie."He replied. "You're my best student, so tell your friends how good you are."

"All, right so, when's my first class?" She asked curiously.

"The day after the big unveiling at Red Fountain, The day after tomorrow,, at 9 don't be late…Click" He hung up before the shock wore off. I'll tell them later when the guys are gone. She thoughtheading towards the dorm room and for a nice hot shower.

Later at Alfea

"Girl's there's something I need to tell could everyone come in to the living room." Flora shouted into the hall then went back to the living room.

The girls filed in one after another. After they took everyone took a seat it was completely silent .Stella was the first to break the Silence "Well, what it so important that you had to interrupt my beautifying process." She huffed.

"You guys remember that class the guys were talking about earlier."Flora start to say.

"Yeah?" The girls replied wondering what that had to do with Flora.

"I'm the…"She chokes on the words but muscles on ward, "I'm the guest instructor for the class," finally taking a breath.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" The girls shouted in shock.

"The Champion fighter the guys were talking about." Flora said not sure what more to say. She began from the beginning, "Well, father is an instructor/owner for our dojo; he teaches a defensive style of martial art. After I turned thirteen he started teaching me, because a lot of his students liked to hang around the house and didn't want to take any chances." She took a breath. "As it turned out, I took to it like a duck to water." The girls chuckled, "I got so good, dad, started entering me competitions year before last, I won the National Championship and this summer, I was the defending champ." Flora grinned to herself.

"Well?" Bloom egged.

"Well, nothing I kick butt and came back a 2 time defending Champ."Flora grinned seeing that her best friends were more impressed then shocked.

"So, the reason why your opponents don't talk about your matches is because you whip their butts in a sparring match?" Stella asked.

"It was more of a full on demolition of male egos" She said, "None of my matches lasted more than two to three minutes. But never four minutes." The Winx Club burst out laughing, as they pictured their guys sparring against Flora.

"Flora, don't let them get too cocky, will ya." Musa asked with an evil smirk. "I wouldn't let Riven get away with anything!" Stella and Bloom chuckled, while Tecna and Layla were all but rolling on the floor.

"Yeah, I second that." Stella cheered.

"Third!" Bloom laughed.

"Fourth!" Tecna chuckled.

"Count me in on that!" Layla grinned, "Those guys need a lesson on modesty!"

"I'll be sure to keep that I mind during the class." Flora smiled. "So, you're okay with me beating up your boys?"

"As long as there's no lasting damage to my Snookums," Stella said not even blinking an eye.

Everyone busted up laughing.

"Speaking of boys have you met someone you'd like to give a squeeze, Flora?" Stella asked.

"Well … maybe… not sure I mean." Flora said, "Chatta, says this year I'm gonna meet the man, destined to bring great happiness and great challenges."

"Awe!" The girls gushed.

"Let's just hope he's hot and sweet." Stella input, the rest rolled their eyes and giggled. "What he has to be… I mean look at the rest of the guys their smok'in hot! Though, no one is as hot as Brandon." Everyone groaned.

"As long as he makes you happy, Flo, that's fine with us." Musa said.

Okay first time our girls make appearance I hope I nailed the characters.

Next Chapter They meet so stay tuned.
