House of Memories (Book 2)

Chapter 50- First Charmix

After a few hours of soaring through the sky, the Winx and Specialists eventually arrived at the WildLands. The island proved to be a paradise indeed. Just as they were flying over it they could already see the wonders it had to offer. Giant snowy mountains with skiing facilities; a large jungle that served as the habitat to numerous animals of all kinds; a lake beach of crystal-clear water; and, Stella's favourite place, a huge mall in the middle of a city which is where the group found themselves at.

As soon as they landed they immediately went shopping for clothes and swimsuits. Partially because they wanted snow coats to go skiing and snowboarding in the mountains, but also because Stella dragged them there. 

Most of the Winx were having kind of a hard time deciding what to buy, but Ruby simply grabbed the first black snow coat she saw, a few suimsuits and a camping tent and payed for it. She never really liked shopping. However, she was still not off the hook since Robin wanted her help to decide what to buy.

"What do you think I should buy?" Robin asked holding two different swimwears. " I thought of wearing a swimming shirt, but what if Liam finds that lame? Usually grandmas are the ones who wear those. So maybe I should wear shorts and this bikini top right here."

"What do you feel more comfortable in?" Ruby asked, crossing her arms and leaning against the wall.

"They both seem comfortable. Look, this top is kind of like a sports bra and covers my breasts pretty well, dammit it almost works like a binder, but what if Liam thinks it's weird for me to wear shorts and a top?"

"If he does then he can drown for all I care." Ruby said, taking both swimsuits from Robin. "If you like this, you buy it. It's that simple. Unless you don't have the money, in that case you must make a choice. It doesn't matter what a stupid boy thinks."

"Alright, for starters, I'm not stupid." Liam said, suddenly appearing from behind a clothing rail. 

Robin let out a small scream and gained a deep shade of red as they looked at the boy who appeared out of nowhere. "Were you listening to our conversation?"

"You goddamn stalker."

"I'm not a stalker I just happen to be behind this railing and you two didn't notice me. On another note..." Liam looked at Robin and smiled at them. "You look great in anything you wear, so don't worry about what I might think, I know I'll love it."

Robin smiled and hugged him, burrying their face in his chest to hide their blush.

"Aww, you guys are so adorable it makes me want to gouge my eyes out." Ruby said, cooing at them.

"You know just because you have no one right now doesn't mean you get to shame every other couple." Liam said, playfully glaring at her.

"Couple? Really?"

"Who said I have no one?"

"Oh, so Miss Ruby is already over Peach? Who's the unlucky lady, then?"

"The lucky lady is none of your business." Ruby said, sharing a brief look with Robin. "And, anyway, speaking of Ebony..."

"Do we have to?" Robin asked, rolling their eyes.

"Yes, we do. I don't want any of you to mistreat her in this vacation. I want you to make her feel included. Just because we broke up doesn't mean she's now a demon that should burn in the sunlight."

"You're right." Liam said.

"She is?" Robin asked.

"We'll go talk to her now."

"We are?"

"Robin, come on."

Liam grabbed their hand and at that moment their brain stopped working which made it much more easy for him to drag them towards Ebony while they stared at their joined hands. Ruby laughed and shook her head, happy for her friend.
