Winx Club: Guardians of the Dragon Flames

It Feels Like Magic

Gardenia, California USA

In a bedroom, a drawing of one of Gardenia's buildings was pinned to a corkboard not far from a set of two girls, twins in fact. Below the corkboard was their shared desk with a couple stackable containers, one filled with snacks while the other was filled with the younger twin's martial arts uniform and belts while above it, there were several trophies and a partially constructed bo staff.

A young red-headed girl was snoring away in bed while her identical twin sister was stretching her body in bed. "Wake up, sleepy heads! The sun's been up for ages." their mother, Vanessa called out to the twins who was sleeping the day away. "And please don't tell me that you wasn't up all night reading."

"Five more minutes, mom." said one red headed girl as her blue bunny, Kiko was snoozing away in his basket.

"Please." said her twin while she held her purple bunny, Lavender.

"You're late, girls." said Vanessa, hovering over the oldest twin, Bloom, who finally wakes up.

"School?" asked Bloom.

"Uh-oh." said the younger twin sister as she looks up from her book and watches her sister race around their room.

"Oh, no! Why didn't you or Dawn wake me up before?" Bloom complained as she came out of the shower and gets dressed. "Oh, the alarm didn't go off. Oh, no! I can't believe this."

"Bloom.....think for a second. You're still waking up from last night." said Dawn, putting the book down as Lavender hops off her lap.

Bloom pulls the last bit of her shirt over her head, thinking. "Hang on a sec. School's out and the alarm didn't go off because we're on vacation." said Bloom as nodded. "Oh, mom! Your joke is not funny."

"Ah, but you fell for it didn't you?" asked Vanessa.

"Yeah. You running around the room thinking that it's still the school year is funny." Dawn tells her, laughing a bit. "Next time, check to see if I'm still in the room before your mind thinks elsewhere."

"Dawn, it's not funny." Bloom argued with her.

"You're right, I'm sorry." said Dawn, yawning.

"I'm sleepy." Bloom said as she heads over to her bed, waking up Kiko. "I'm going back to bed."

"You should try to go to bed earlier you know." Vanessa scolds the girls. "You both were up really late last night."

"Scooch over, sis." said Dawn.

"We were reading." said Bloom as Vanessa picks up the book she was reading and Dawn climbs into her sister's bed.

"Faires: Myth or reality." Vanessa said, reading the title. "Don't either of you get tired of these silly things?"

"No. We never do." said Dawn, leaning against the wall as she closed her eyes.

"They're not silly, okay?" Bloom said.

"Actually, now that school is over, the two of you can help me in the shop." said Vanessa, then walks out of their room.

"No!" groaned Bloom.

"This is going to be a long summer." said Dawn.

"Don't even think about it." Bloom tells her.

"Good morning, sunshine, duckling." said Mike, looking up from his newspaper.

"We're not going to spend our summer working in the shop." the twins tell their parents.

"I wish we could go somewhere fun with our friends." said Bloom.
