Author's Note: Hey, everyone. Welcome back to more updates of "The Fairly Odd Winx Club", the Crossover Alternate Universe between 'The Fairly OddParents' and 'Winx Club', inspired by the crossover fanfics of Epiclot214 and Iron117Prime.
Before we begin, a few things have to come to mind...
1) Here we are, on a little thing called 'Truth, Lies, and Revelations', where we are about three little chapters, including this one, away...
- "The Truth About Bloom" (A Great Secret Revealed (Episode 113))
- "The Red Fountain...of Lies" (Secrets Within Secrets (Episode 117))
- "The Revelation of the Dragon Flame" (The Font of Dragon Fire (Episode 118))
...from beginning the episodes (Episodes 119-126) that also made up the Winx Club special, "The Battle for Magix", where I'll put some little twists to it or not, but it's going to take a few chapters in counting long enough to end the events of season 1.
2) If you think I'm going to end "The Fairly Odd Winx Club" after season 1, well... for now, I'm just not sure yet. I may decide whether or not to take this crossover all the way to the events of "Secret of the Lost Kingdom" and/or "Magical Adventure". Sometimes both. More chapters will come very soon in the near future, just not yet anyway.
3) Another thing you may notice is my latest, epic new variant cover art/poster for this crossover, inspired by the artist Framraw's awesomely, epic 'White Variant' covers for the installments from Epiclot214's Young Avengers series.
If you're wondering why I put only Hazel and Anthony Wells, Winn Harper, and Jasmine Tran from "The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish" in my new poster/cover, well...let's just say that...after a lot of consideration, some thinking, and planning some things out, I may have decided that they may or may not be present just yet as Gardenia residents and Timmy Turner's new friends, alongside the Winx Club and the Specialists.
And they may or may not soon about to get dragged into the events of Season 2, the Shadow Phoenix Arc, along with Macy from the Winx Club Season 5 filler-episode 'The Lilo', who may serve as a new love interest deuteragonist for Timmy Turner.
Speaking of which, even though I'm including only Hazel, Anthony, Winn, and Jasmine here, I did also plan to have Timmy Turner and Macy be together. But remember, this is ONLY meant to be a Crossover Alternate Universe (CAU) in a new, rewritten alternate timeline under the tropes of 'Cosmic Retcon', 'Alternate Timeline' and 'Alternate Universe Fic'.
Also, it's because of a new rule in Da Rules, inspired by and from Detective88's take on the FOP reboot, that states that the humans who know about a godchild's fairies must not reveal it to anyone. It must only be between the person or a number of people and the godchild, so...the ones in Timmy Turner's new circle who know about his secret and even the Magic Dimension are only Hazel and Anthony Wells, Winn, Jasmine, and even Macy.
Hope everyone's okay with it, but I worked hard to plan it out...for now.
4) For those of you noticed that this crossover so far now has two Timmys - one from 'Fairly OddParents' and the other from 'Winx Club' - apologies! But don't worry, to avoid any crazy confusion, we'll call FOP's Timmy his full name 'Timmy Turner' (even though 'Pink-hatted Timmy' is kind of a nickname) and Winx Club's Timmy 'Specialist Timmy'.
Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. Hope you enjoyed this little chapter. Any and all comments (on the story) are welcome.
Vacation time. The time when everyone leaves school for some summer fun or heading home to their families. But there was no time for fun just yet…
After a visit to Cloud Tower and a few days later of wish-granting fun in Gardenia, Timmy Turner and his fairies were about to get down to business with what they learned so far – like how Bloom was a baby left on Earth by someone and how she got fire powers of the Great Dragon. They're in Timmy's new room, putting the pieces together.
"So, after a few visits to the Magic Dimension," Timmy Turner began, using a pointer to reveal some pieces on their fantastic detective board. "We picked up a lot of… fascinating things for ourselves. Like how the Trix—"
"Yeah," Cosmo nodded. "Those Trix witches are really getting sued by that silly rabbit."
"What?! No, what I mean is that they're really hung up on the Dragon Flame not being inside Stella's ring or Solaria."
"Timmy's right," Wanda said. "The Trix must not have realized that the Dragon Flame rested on the planet Domino or that Bloom somehow had it inside her since she was a baby and was later left on Earth by someone. That's why Bloom had the fire powers of the Great Dragon who created the Magic Dimension eons ago!"
"And Bloom had this voice inside her head that helped save our bacon back at Cloud Tower," Cosmo added.
"Maybe it's someone from Domino that Bloom doesn't know about."
"Okay, what are we getting at?!" Timmy Turner asked.
"We might be onto something big," Wanda replied. "We're leaving the biggest part out – that Bloom is a magical being like us!"
"Well, why don't you tell her that she's some kind of fairy princess from another planet raised on Earth while you're at it?" Timmy Turner asked sarcastically.
"Good thinking," Cosmo agreed, not catching up on Timmy Turner's sarcasm. "That should really spell it out for Bloom."
"He was being sarcastic, Cosmo," Wanda replied while changing Poof's diaper. "But if Bloom was born with magical powers from another planet and the Dragon Flame is inside her, then that means…"
"Bloom is the Trix's new target," Timmy Turner said in surprise.
"What are we going to do? If everything we know is true, then Bloom is in real trouble than we realized."
"In that case, we'll warn Brandon and his Specialists about this and tell them to prepare for the worst."
"Good thinking, Timmy."
When Timmy Turner saw Bloom on TV, his face was full of concern.
Meanwhile, at Bloom's house, Bloom, Mike, and Vanessa sat around the table, having lunch, when her parents noticed that Bloom hadn't touched her food. She was lost in deep thought or at a loss for words.
"Hey, Bloom, aren't you hungry?" Mike asked with worry. "It's not like you to let a little PBJ sandwich go uneaten. Remember, heroes have to eat, too."
"What is it, Bloom?" Vanessa asked as well. "Is there something bothering you?"
After a moment of silence, Bloom finally spoke up. "Yes, Mom. There is something…"
Before Bloom returned to Gardenia for school break, many things had happened in Alfea and Magix for her and her friends…
After their first visit to Cloud Tower and getting Stella's ring back with Timmy Turner's help, the Winx got their magic powers suspended for breaking the rules. To Stella's dismay and annoyance, they had to clean up the whole school without magic. Then, they invited the Specialists over and had a little party while all of Alfea went to a concert.
But the Trix showed up to Alfea that night to continue their search for the Dragon Flame as they summoned a Cretan Minotaur to distract the Winx and their party. Luckily, the Winx and the Specialists defeated the Minotaur, using only their wits and resourcefulness. Headmistress Faragonda rewarded the Winx by giving back their powers.
Then, there was a time at a massive festival for the Day of the Rose in Magix when the Trix planned to ruin the blossoming alliance between the Winx and the Specialists by disguising Knut as an imposter of Specialist Timmy and causing Riven to have an accident during the Wind Rider race, all to pin the blame on Bloom. But Bloom soon discovered the truth about this while Riven denied it, forcing his fellow Specialists to side with her.
But they didn't know then that Riven was in cahoots with the Trix and that the Trix had done a quick burn when they learned the Dragon Flame was inside Bloom the whole time.
Then, while the Trix plotted, there came the time for exams in Alfea. Flora searched for a rare flower called the Cheerful Cladious at the Black Mud Swamp for the potion exam. At the same time, Stella failed her exams and had to study harder next time to catch up on her grades because she was crowned the real winner of the Miss Magix beauty pageant.
Then, the upcoming school break began as Bloom returned to Gardenia to visit her parents and enjoy her time over a few days. Her powers improved, and attending Alfea changed her ever since. Recently, Bloom was deemed a hero when she stopped the fire to save her mother's flower shop with her improved powers.
But during those times, Bloom suddenly dreamed about someone named Daphne, whose voice helped her and her friends out of a pickle at Cloud Tower. She sometimes was lost in thought for having such multiple, intense dreams, as if they were telling her something like a message to remember.
But right now, back home in Gardenia, Bloom finally spoke up to her parents. "During the fire, I had… I had a sort of... vision. I saw Dad. I saw him saving a newborn baby from a fire!"
Mike and Vanessa exchanged worried, uneasy glances.
"What? What is it?" Bloom asked, noticing the expressions. "What did I say?"
Vanessa sighed. "Oh, Mike… I think it's time we told Bloom the truth… She needs to know."
Mike nodded. "I know…"
"Know what?" Bloom asked once more. "Do you know something?"
"Yes, Bloom," Mike began. "There is something we've been meaning to tell you… That baby you saw…was you."
Bloom gasped, and her eyes widened as the news blew her away.
"I saved you from that fire," Mike continued as he told Bloom how he had stumbled across her years ago. "It was about sixteen years ago. It was a miracle…because the fire protected and respected you."
"What was I doing there in the fire?" Bloom asked.
"We had no idea," Vanessa replied. "Your father found you there."
"I don't know how you got in that building," Mike said. "It was completely engulfed in a fire when my crew arrived, but you were all alone. And yet, you were so calm."
"We knew immediately that…you were an extraordinary child," Vanessa said.
"You…adopted me?" Bloom asked.
Suddenly, Bloom was shocked, as if it had finally made sense. She was mesmerized by the vision Timmy Turner had described at Cloud Tower. Then, her eyes were filled with tears.
"But then…," Bloom said, trembling. "This means that…I'm not your daughter?" Then, she looked straight at Mike and Vanessa. "Why… Why didn't you ever tell me all this before? This means that I'm not from Earth! Did you think that there was something weird or wrong with me? That I wasn't normal?"
"No, of course not," Mike reassured Bloom. "We were going to tell you, Bloom. We always intended to tell you the truth as soon as you were old enough to understand. But then, your magic never came back. And then there was that day Stella showed up and met you at the park. Everything changed so fast: fairies, ogres, magic realms, we…" Then, he took a deep breath to calm down and continued. "Everything became so crazy, and your powers became stronger than ever. You went right off to Alfea so quickly before we could sit down and talk with you. Guess there was no time for anything anymore when we realized we were too late."
Vanessa gazed at Bloom. "We never meant to keep secrets from you. We loved you as soon as we saw you. You're the most important person in the world to us, and…"
"…and we could never stop loving you even for a second," Mike finished. "We love you so much…"
Just then, Bloom hugged Vanessa in tears, and Mike later joined in the hug as well. "I love you, too," she said. "You've been the best parents in the world!"
Little did Bloom and her adoptive parents know that Timmy Turner and his fairies had been watching them from afar with saddened eyes.
"Isn't this nice?" Cosmo said. "They're breaking down the walls, and they're healing. It's important." Then, he noticed Timmy, Wanda, and Poof looking at him. "I ruined the moment, didn't I?"
"Yes, you did," Wanda replied.
Timmy Turner, however, still looked down with a thought in his mind. That's easy for you, Bloom. You're not the only one who was being lied to.
Bloom rang the doorbell at Timmy Turner's new house a while later. Timmy Turner answered the door and was surprised to see her.
"Hi," Bloom said, greeting the kid.
"Hello," Timmy Turner greeted back.
"Can we talk?"
Timmy Turner and Bloom sat on the couch just as Bloom spoke. "I just wanted to apologize for what happened at Cloud Tower."
"It's fine, really," Timmy Turner replied.
"So…still think Gardenia's a beautiful place to live?"
"Nope," Timmy Turner said, trying to act casual.
"Not even a little?"
"No."
"Okay, look around and tell me you don't think this is still a beautiful place to live."
"Nope. Not yet anyway."
Bloom sighed. "Listen, I don't know what troubled past you had back then, but moving to a new world and city was also challenging for me at first. But trust me, Gardenia is different and unique. It's your home now."
"Says the teenage girl who wanted answers so early," Timmy Turner replied jokingly. "You just found out you're not from Earth, yet you're okay with it. I wanted to try out my new life in this Gardenia of yours, but it's hard to give up the old comforts of home."
"And I respect that," Bloom said. "I know you're having trouble adjusting to your new home. It wasn't easy for me to understand this planet at first. But do you know what I learned? I learned that I had a family that was patient enough to let me figure things out."
"Well, sometimes you have to hear a lie to see the truth, and finding out the truth doesn't always work out for some people."
"What makes you think, say, and sure about that? I have to know the truth! How did I even get to Earth? Why am I so special? Who exactly are my real parents? I hardly even know who I am. What is so wrong with wanting answers?"
Bloom broke off when he saw the look of surprise on Timmy Turner's face. "Pink-hatted Timmy, I'm sorry...but I need to know. I have to find out about myself."
As Bloom's eyes begged him to understand, Timmy Turner just chuckled. "Just when I thought I heard everything, you say something crazy serious like that."
Bloom smiled as Timmy Turner continued. "Sure, you just keep on trying. But I'll always be there to have your back."
"Yeah, sure. In the meantime, relax. Get comfortable. Make yourself at home here in Gardenia. And if you do find anything new, just let me know."
As Bloom washed up in the bathroom upstairs, Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof appeared beside Timmy Turner.
"You're not going to let this go, are you?" Wanda asked.
"Yep," Timmy Turner answered. "I'm going to tell them."
"Don't you dare!" Cosmo exclaimed.
"What? I'm kidding!"
Just then, Bloom accidentally went to Timmy Turner's room, looking into the board that showed a picture of herself and other details. She was surprised. "No…way."
The following day, Bloom hugged her adoptive parents goodbye and transported herself back to the Magix Dimension. When she returned to Alfea, Stella, Musa, Flora, and Tecna gathered around in her and Flora's dorm room as they heard all about what happened.
When Bloom finished her story, Musa said, "I don't get it, Bloom, cheer up. Don't be sad."
"Musa's right," Flora said. "What happened to you is one of the most beautiful things in the world. I know it must be a shock, but you and your parents have a terrific relationship."
"That's totally logical," Tecna added, crossing her arms. "A fine quality in a family dynamic."
"So, in a way, you're a lucky girl," Musa said to Bloom. "And that's why you've got to smile. Your Earth parents sound like awesome people. Nothing's changed."
"I know, Musa," Bloom sighed. "I know my parents are amazing, but… that's just it. They're my Earth parents. You see? But now I still have so many questions."
Stella got up to her feet and peered over. "Questions about what? This new info has got you curious about your birth parents, Bloom, so what do you plan on doing now?"
"Well, I plan on getting some answers," Bloom replied. "I'm probably not from Earth, but… Why wasn't I hurt by the flames? Who are my real birth parents? How did I end up on Earth, and who put me there? That's what I'd like to know."
"Yes, those are a lot of questions," Tecna said. "But are you sure you want to discover the truth?"
"I don't think I have a choice."
Understanding Bloom's dilemma, Kiko hopped onto the bed and sat beside her.
"Are you sure you want to find the answers?" Flora asked Bloom. "Your search could be long, complicated, and painful. You know that, don't you?"
"And what would you do if you were me?" Bloom asked. "Would that stop you from looking?"
"Probably not. But Bloom, I'm only saying this for your own good. I don't want you to suffer."
"Thank you, Flora," Bloom replied. "But a certain someone once said, 'Sometimes you have to hear a lie to see the truth, and finding out the truth doesn't always work out for some people.' At this point, I could never go back." She then turned to her friends. "I have to know who I am. No matter what it takes, I want to learn everything about my past, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but we also need you-know-who."
"You-know-who?" Flora repeated in confusion.
"Oh, she's probably referring to Pink-hatted Timmy," Musa said.
Stella was appalled. "WHAT?! What does that kid have to do with this?!"
"Because…," Bloom spoke up. "I think he did his little homework by trying to figure me and my powers out."
"Well, we'll all be right there with you," Stella replied. "After all, sticking my nose in other people's business is my favorite sport and pastime. You know, I just love gossip."
"Really?" Musa asked. "Who would have thought? Because I believe Pink-hatted Timmy might be doing your thing."
"So, will you all help me?" Bloom asked.
"Of course," Flora nodded.
"Absolutely!" Stella smiled.
"By all means," Tecna declared. "Sign me up!"
"You have our word," Musa said as she and the others piled their hands one atop another. "After all, we're the Winx Club!"
"The Winx Club!" Musa, Tecna, Bloom, Stella, and Flora shouted in unison as they laughed and had a group hug.
