Un nuevo Inizio

Out of Nowhere

     "Well, that was tiring," Stella yawned as the group walked out of class. "I am so done with everything."

     "You say that all the time," Bloom teased her, making Stella flush slightly while the others laughed. "You're only interested in fashion!"

     "S-Shut up!" She slapped her maybe-more-than-a-friend's shoulder. "T-That's embarrassing!"

     "Maybe study more so we don't go that far," Tecna simply said with a smirk on her face.

     "Tecna you too!?" Stella moaned. "Why oh why is my life like this!?"

     "Study then we'll discuss it," Musa laughed. "Anyway, we got some time before we have to go in, so what should we do now?"

     "Maybe explore the woods outside Alfea?" Mirta offered. "It does seem interesting to me."

     "Right, this is your first year," Bloom remembered. "That does sound like fun, so why not?"

     "Let's go then!" Flora was definitely excited. She had missed the trees at Alfea, for sure!

     The teens were soon ready for their impromptu picnic, and Bloom led the way for the newcomer to get to see all the sights.

     The Alfea grounds were really amazing, but the forests nearby gave the fresh air Mirta really enjoyed about nature. Where she met Flora and was slowly brought to realise she was a fairy.

     Wow, it had really been that long, huh? She thought to herself. It was surprising.

     They found the perfect spot for the picnic nearby, so they didn't hesitate to sit down and relax as they slowly went into small chatter while eating snacks. It had been a long while since they saw each other, so Mirta was glad to be able to catch up. It was a break from all the emotionally draining things she had done at home leading up to this new school year. It has been very stressful, but she had made it and now she was basking in the sweet rewards of her resilience.

     "Ahh this is so filling!" Mirta hummed at the sandwich they were eating.

     "Agreed! Let's go take a walk to get us more pumped up!!" Bloom got up, a shine in her sky blue eyes.

     "Sounds good," Tecna grinned.

     "Let's go go go!" Stella cheered.

     The group soon packed up and began walking alongside the borders of Alfea. They chatted, laughed and just relaxed.

     Well, until they spotted the passed out girl nearby.

     "W-What the!?" Musa gasped.

     Flora rushed over and checked her pulse, "It's a weak pulse!"

     "We should bring her in! She looks to be in bad shape!" Tecna urged.

     "That we can agree on," Bloom nodded and was about to help Flora carry her when something fell out of her hoodie. "Huh?"

     Mirta picked up the thing, and realized it was more of a someone; a Pixie, to be exact.

     "A Pixie?" She whispered. "But how?"

     "Hey, what's that?" Bloom asked Mirta.

     "A Pixie? I don't think I know what that is," Flora frowned.

     "They can bond with fairies and help them in becoming fully mature fairies, in our case Enchantix," she explained. "It usually depends on the type of magic and a lot of other factors, but that's what a Pixie is. If this little one is here, then they must be the Bonded Pixie of this girl."

     "We'll have time to ask her when she wakes up. For now, we need to get her to the infirmary at once," Musa urged.

     "Right," Tecna nodded, and after arriving at the infirmary, the girls were soon waiting for the mysterious newcomer to wake up.

     Mirta's mind was overflowing with theories. What did this mean? Was there a new threat? Someone who wanted Pixies? But for what exactly?

     Deciding speculating would do nothing, she turned to Tecna, "Should we do research on Pixies while we're waiting?"

     "You seem quite knowledgeable so you should be the one to tell us," Tecna retorted.

     "I have only heard of them," She admitted. "But I've read of them in my homeworld. They're known to help fairies attain maturity."

     "Huh, that's something new," Bloom said. "But why is this girl so injured then?"

     "No clue," Tecna sighed.

     Mirta massaged her temple. This was definitely tiring. The best way to get anything at the moment was to ask the mysterious girl herself.

     Just then, a groan sounded out from the room, and everyone shared a surprised look. She was awake!

     But before anyone could do anything the door slammed open and the girl sprinted away.

     "Hey wait!" Mirta raced after her with Bloom. The others were right behind them as they went after the person in an infirmary gown, chasing her down throughout Alfea. She was speedy, but Mirta had an ace up her sleeve.

     "Bloom, cover me! I'm going to get her to stop!" She yelled to her friend.

     "How?!" Bloom yelled back.

     "Just lead her to the auditorium!" Mirta said before she took a detour to the said place, hoping that she had enough time to set something up...

—

    Thankfully, she did. With a small amount of basic magic she had learnt from Cloud Tower, she managed to make the gym seem like the outside of Alfea. Perfect way to trick the new person into stopping.

     Now, it was time to wait. The trap was set.

     As she waited, she couldn't help but think about everything. How did she get so injured? Those were not normal injuries, after all. Was there a new threat coming? Who was it? She needed more information if she wanted to find out, and that new girl held said information.

     "Come on come on," she mumbled. "Where the heck is Bloom?"

     She got her answer as the door slammed open, revealing in her gowned glory the mysterious girl, followed by the others close at her heels who were panting but still on her tail. Upon noticing the entrance, the girl's eyes lit up and she sprinted...

     Only to slam into the door hard as the illusion faded off, knocking her out effectively.

     "Phew, thanks, Mirta," Bloom grinned, holding out her fist.

     "No problem!" Mirta fist-bumped her back. "Now let's get her back to the infirmary and get our answers at long last."

     "Right," the rest nodded, and they soon worked together to bring her in, unaware that it would set into motion a whole new adventure.
