The New Winx *ON HAITUS*

Chapter One: The New Girl in Town

Summer was over, and it was the first day of school at Alfea. Nicki was the new girl here, and she had no idea of what to do or what to expect. She had found out a year ago that she was a fairy- the fairy of thunder and lightning. She had absolutely no idea of how to control her power, and felt worthless not knowing how. That's why her parents had sent her to Alfea, to learn how to contol her power and to learn new things.

Nicki didn't want to learn however. She wished she didn't have her powers at all. She begged and pleaded with her parents not to send her to Alfea, but they refused. She didn't want to learn to control her power, she didn't want to sleep in a dorm, and she definetly didn't want to come here. She'd rather stay back home at the Planet of Darkness, where everyone wore dark, yet stylish clothing, followed simple rules, and didn't have to go to school because her parents taught her.

But once again, it was her parents final decision.

Once she walked into the hallways of Alfea, Nicki began to think to herself. "Will I have friends?" "Will I like this place they call Alfea: College for Faries?" "or will I decide not to like this place at all and wish every five seconds to go back home?"

After getting lost a couple of times, Nicki finally made it to her dorm room.

(Nicki's POV Begins)

"Okay, here I go." I say. I cast a little magic on the doorknobs, and the door opens revealing my blank dorm room. All that's in there are my bedframe with my mattress, a nightstand, and a dressing table. I lay my black duffel bag on the oakwood hardwood floor, and stare at my room.

"This place could definetly use some sprucing up." I say.

And with a snap, my room is transformed to fit my style. My walls have turned from white to black and grey. My white nightstand and dressing table turn into darker colors. My nightstand is now black and my dressing table is a dark grey. And finally, my bedframe and mattress are transformed. My bedframe's color is black, and my mattress is dark grey. To complete it off my pillows are a combination of black, dark grey, and light grey.

"Perfect!" I say with pleasure as I lie down on my bed. At least everytime I walk in my room, I'll feel as if I'm at home, and that makes me feel less upset.

I lay down for a few more minutes, and then get up to start placing some memories of my dressing table. As I place my first memory on the table- a picture of my mom, my dad, the king and queen of the Planet of Darkness and I- I hear a knock on my door.

"It's probably just Headmistress Farragonda or Grieselda" I whisper. I cast the same "open door close door" spell, and the door opens to reveal not Headmistress Farragonda, not Grieselda, but a girl. A girl looks to be about my age.

"Hey!" the girl says, "My name is Mikayla, and welcome to Alfea! I heard you were the new girl at school, and I just came to say hello!"

The girl, well, Mikayla, is wearing a light pink crop top, light green shorts, and floral combat boots. This Mikayla can really dress.

She streches out her hand, I take it, and we shake hands. "Come inside," I say waving my hands and motioning her to come. She steps inside, and sits down on the floor. I sit in front of her, and we both don't say anything for a couple of seconds, until I break the silence.

"Do you want anything to eat?"

"Sure!" she responds.

I snap my fingers, and instantly fresh bread and tea lay in front of us. Mikayla looks in awe and shock at the spell I just cast. "How did you do that?" she asks. "Hmm... maybe I learned it by myself, or someone taught it to me. I don't exactly remember." I say.

"That's so cool!", she says as she takes a sip of her tea. "By the way, I forgot to ask, what's your name?"

"Nicki." I say.

"What planet do you come from?"

"The Planet of Darkness."

"Are you a fairy?"

"Yeah, why else would I be here?" I say jokingly.

We both laugh. "Okay, back to questions," she says "what are you the fairy of?"

"The fairy of thunder and lightning.", I say nervously. "And I.." I begin to trail off.

"And I what?" Mikayla asks with a look of concern.

I sigh a heavy sigh. It's not going to be easy explaining this. "And I only found out about my power a year ago. I don't know how to control it, and to make a ling story short, I'm scared, even terrified to use it. What if something goes wrong, and I never learn how tow control my power, and end up hurting something or someone?" The tears start falling before I can stop them.

One falls and lands in my teacup.

"Oh Nicki," Mikayla says in a comforting voice, "I'm sure you'll be able to control it. Even I had the same problem, when I first became a fairy. But I had to believe in myself to overcome my fear of not being able to handle the power. You've just got to believe, and I know you will achieve controlling your power."

"Thanks Mikayla," I say tears still falling, and she hugs me, and I hug her back."

"Can I ask you some of the same questions you asked me just now, if it's okay with you?" I say.

"Of course it's okay!" she says smiling, as we let go of each other. "I'm from the planet of Lynphea, I'm a fairy, and I'm the fairy of nature."

I'm about to ask her another question, but amazingly, she already knows what I'm going to say.

"And yes, I'm related to Flora, member of the Winx Club. I'm her niece." She says proudly.

"That's so cool!" I say beaming. "What's it like to be the neice of Flora, the one who saved her little sister from drowning in posionous water and sacrificing her life for her sister's earning her Enchantix power? What does it feel like to be the fairy of nature just like she was?"

"It's amazing. I kinda have the same powers as she does, and have some powers of my own. She's given me tips on how to be a better fairy, and she's taught me everything she knows. I love having her as my aunt."

"And I bet she loves having you as her niece." I say with a smile, and we both chuckle. We hear a vibrating sound, and Mikayla searches in her pocket for her phone.

"Hello, this is Mikayla." she says, "oh hey Erin! I'm talking with the new girl in her dorm room, where are you? Heading to Professor Poladium's class? Alright, I'll be there in a few, and the new girl her name is Nicki, and by the way, she is in our class then we'll be there in a few. Talk to you later, bye." She hangs up phone, and gets up off the floor. I do the same thing.

"Are you in Professor Poladium's class first?"

"Yeah! And that's great because that's means we'll be in class together!"

"Great!", she proclaims. We both high five, and take each others hand.

As I open the door, I can't believe I just made a friend. I've only been here for almost an hour, and I've made a friend.

"I can't wait for you to meet my other friends. I'm pretty sure they'll accept you, just like I did." she says with a smile.

"They will? Oh yeah, they will." I say smoothly.

"C'mon let's get to Poladium's class. We don't wanna be late on our first day of school!", Mikayla says.

With that in mind, I cast the "open door close door" spell, and walk hand in hand with Mikayla to class.
