One of The Fairies

#3 The Grand Opening (Edited)

Don't pay attention to my tabs but look how tiny the scrollbar is. The Story outline with all the exposition, rising action, etc. only takes up ONE page. There are 19 pages. 18 of them are pages of each chapter. That would make the three chapters so far to have 6 pages for each chapter. 

I made also google form for feedback on what I can do better. (also it was my first time doing one and I wanted to do it without it being useless)

(The link doesn't work so you have to type it in by hand. Or you could copy and paste. I wish the link did work) Sry for not updating in a while. I'm trying to edit the chapters I have already made to make them better. And Grammarly, My precious go to spelling and grammar savior has been FAILING ME. And it's giving me wrong grammar things and it sucks right now. So here you go, the edited version of 'the grand opening'.

Word count- 1412

I sat on the bench listening to Musa's latest song with the rest of the Winx, waiting for the specialists. Today is finally the day of the opening. For the past few days, I have been trying to convince Stella to let me stay home to watch Netflix and design. I also have been trying to steal Stella's phone so I could erase that recording. I failed both times.

The pixies decided to join us in the opening of Red Fountain. Professor (Not Evil) Avalon put Bloom in charge before splitting up with us to go and sit adjacent to the other teachers (The proud moment when you use a word you learned in ELA). I took off Musa's headphones, "That sounds pretty good Musa. How long have you been working on it?"

"Only a week or so. I couldn't find the right tune for the ending. Everything I have tried so far just doesn't sound right." Musa responded slightly annoyed.

After a few minutes, I lean back into the bench with my head on top of the back of the bench. "When are the specialists coming. I just want to get this over with already. I thought you said that they had good timing." I commented bored. I haven't even met them yet and I'm starting to dislike them.

Flora replied to my question, "Well, they are the ones who are helping to host the party. You can't really blame them for being late, and on top of that, they going to do some combat and they are going to do tricks with their dragons." Flora got excited just talking about it. "I have only seen the dragons a few times. They are amazing and just so beautiful. They're... they're... they're... spectacular. Yes, that's the word I was thinking about. Marinette, I thought you of all people would be more excited to see them since you haven't seen one before."

I laughed slightly, "I think I've had way too much 'excitement' in my life so far. Four to five years of my life could be someone's whole life of 'excitement'." I got off the bench to stretch a little.

A hot guy walked by and gave a small wave to Stella. Stella, of course, waved back. "Hey, girls look, the specialists are here."

Brandon walked up. Well, at least I think he is Brandon. Bloom and Stella showed me pictures of them so I could know who's who. That would have worked if they hadn't told me a confusing very detailed story of how Brandon and Sky swapped names. And they also kept messing up with their names a few times since it was still pretty new to them. "I hope we didn't keep you waiting too long," Brandon said.

"No, not at all. I was too busy being admired by all the boys passing by." Just as Stella finished saying that, another boy walked by and waved at her, "That makes 26." She crossed her legs with her hands on top of her knee.

Brandon grinned, knowing that two could play at that game. "Well Stella, sorry to disappoint you, but I scored 12 witches and 17 fairies coming to a winning total of 29. I win Sunshine." Stella pouted, as I tried to hold back a snort.

Maybe I won't hate them for making us wait for so long. They seem nice and funny. "Hi, I haven't met you yet. I'm Marinette." I thought about reaching out to shake their hands but that seemed weird and way too formal, "The Winx has told me a lot of things about you guys."

"All good things I hope," Brandon joked. We all laughed. (Have you ever noticed how in sync the Winx and Specialists are?)

We started to walk to go inside the school when Bloom facepalmed, "Sorry guys, I'll be right back. I forgot to tell Profesor Avalon where we are going I'll be back." She ran off to go find him.

XX TIME SKIP XX

After the specialist left we headed for the stadium to find our seats. We were talking about what-not after watching them do some tricks on their hoverbikes when all of a sudden the whole stadium started to shake. I felt panic start to bloom in my chest thinking of the worst.

In the microphone Headmaster Saladin told us not to panic. It was all apart of the opening and to enjoy the show. All around us new walls began to rise to bring forth the new Red Fountain school. I sighed in relief knowing that this wasn't an earthquake or something else that could possibly be deadly. The new school flew up into the sky. Everyone exited the old school and left to enter the brand new one.

XX Another Time Skip XX

The opening ceremony had stopped for an intermission. I challenged Aisha to a race to see who could reach the snack area first. My hair whipped my face as I dodged students who were in my way. Aisha only a few feet behind me. I looked back and was about to comment on how she said she was going to win when I abruptly ran into a wall. I made a weird 'oof' sound effect when I collided with it. I rubbed my head mumbling, "I don't remember seeing a wall here."

The 'wall' chuckled and replied, "Well, that's the first I've been called a wall before." I froze for a few seconds and looked up and laughing sheepishly.

I had run into a specialist around my age. He had golden blond hair brushed to the right. And he had emerald eyes that you could get lost in. He had a white jacket, blue jeans, a striped shirt, and converse sneakers. I blushed only slightly when he offered me his hand to help pull me up. "Sorry about that I was racing my friend," I look to see her maybe 20 feet away smiling and giving me a thumbs-up, I sighed, "And by the looks of it I think I just lost. I'm Marinette by the way." And I thought Stella was the only one trying to set me up with people. But to be completely fair I have been shipping the Winx with some specialists. Like Bloom and Sky, and Stella and Brandon.

After helping me up he apologized, "Sorry for making you lose your race with your friend. I'm Adrien by the way."

I looked at him confused, "How is it your fault. I was the one who wasn't looking where I was going. Well anyway, it was nice to meet you. I hope we meet again. Maybe In a less painful way." I smiled at him.

He smiled back, "Yeah, I hope that too." I wave and run after Aisha yelling for a rematch.

When I caught up to her I told her not to tell the Winx about Adrien because they will tease me for the rest of my days.

XX Time Skip XX

After the opening came to a conclusion we met up with the specialists to go and get some food.

"Okay. Do we have any requests for what kind of food we are getting?" Bloom turned to face the group.

"How about Pizza. I'm in the mood for it." I suggested.

Stella looked at me strangely, "What is this pista exactly."

I looked at her like she was crazy, "A) It's called Pizza. And 2) How could you not know the cheesiness of pizza."

"They don't have pizza here." Boom said casually.

I gasped, "You poor things. To have never tasted the cheesy goodness of pizza in your lives." I smiled, "It's a good thing you have a friend who was raised in a bakery. I'm going to make you the best pizza your taste buds have ever tasted." (Who else thought of Plagg with his camembert when they read this?)

After eating with the specialists, they went back to Red Fountain. When we went into our dorms Griseda was there waiting for us. "There you are. It took you long enough. In the morning Headmistress Fariganda wants to see all of you in her office."

I groaned, I am too tired for this. I feel like I could sleep in for a week, or better yet, a month. I have no idea how I'm going to wake up tomorrow. I trudged to my bed and crashed, not even bothering to change into pajamas.
