Chapter Text
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 medals and a partially constructed bo staff.
A young red-headed girl was snoring away in bed while her identical twin sister was standing by her bed, standing on one leg while reading a book. "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 Zara 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 Zara, 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 still thinking that it's a school day is funny." Zara tells her, laughing a bit. "Next time, check to see if I'm still in the room before your mind thinks elsewhere."
"Zara, it's not funny." Bloom argued with her, then throws a towel at her.
"You're right, I'm sorry." said Zara, 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 Zara, tapping her sister's leg.
"We were reading." said Bloom as Vanessa picks up the book she was reading and Zara 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 Zara, 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 Zara.
"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.
"Like skiing for one thing." added Zara.
"When you're both older, you can go wherever you both want." Mike told the twins.
"How old is older?" asked Bloom. "We're already 16, dad."
"And being 16 means that we can't always spend time with our parents." Zara chimed in, taking a couple apples from the fruit bowl.
"Only 16….you both are still my little girls." said Mike, still seeing them as his little girls.
"Dad…..it's not fair." whined Bloom and Zara.
"Listen, in a few weeks, we'll be going to the beach like we do every year." Mike tells the twins.
"But all our friends go on holidays by themselves." said a frustrated Bloom. "That would have been the present ever. For both of us."
"When are you going to trust us to be alone on holidays?" asked Zara, tossing an apple to her sister.
"We do trust you. Just not going on holidays by yourselves." said Mike, standing firm by his decision.
"But, Dad! We've handled everything you've thrown at us so far. We can manage a trip!" Bloom argued.
"Yeah, and it's not like we're asking to go to some far-off place. We just want to have a little freedom." said Zara.
"I know, but it's just so hard for me to picture you both out there without me keeping an eye on you." Mike tells them.
"Well, speaking of presents…." said Vanessa, referring to what Bloom was saying as she looked at the twins. "We've got a couple of small surprises for you."
"Yeah, just a little something to help you both get around Gardenia." said Mike. Zara squinted her eyes at her parents as Bloom perks up.
"Really? Thanks, dad!" said Bloom, then grabs her sister's hand. "Come on, Zara."
"Wah! Mom! She's doing it again!" said Zara as Bloom drags her outside. As they went into the backyard with their bunnies close behind them, Bloom and Zara see a pair of bikes.
"Nice, huh?" Mike asked the twins.
"Oh, well…..yeah, thanks." Bloom said, then looks at Zara, trying to find the words.
"It's nice, dad." said Zara, knowing what Bloom was really feeling. "We'll get around Gardenia real quick."
They both walked over to the bikes, a little defeated. "See? They both don't know what to say." Mike said to Vanessa as Kiko and Lavender hopped towards their owners.
"I don't know. Maybe they were expecting something a bit more sophisticated?" said Vanessa as she walks back inside.
"A set of bicycles with a speedometer maybe." suggested Mike.
"Two scooters, Mike." said Vanessa.
"But scooters are dangerous, and they cost a bundle." Mike tells her as they headed inside together.
"We'll try to put some money aside. Maybe next year we could get them one for the two to share." said Vanessa.
"Oh, he'll never change." said Bloom as she and Zara walked their bikes.
"You mean Dad or the bikes?" Zara asked. "Because I'm pretty sure the bikes are stuck at ten miles per hour!"
"Both! Seriously, could you imagine us on a motorcycle? Or even just a scooter?" asked Bloom, causing Zara to smile a bit. Kiko and Lavender were sitting in the baskets, having a ride of their lives. "Dad will never let us ride anything faster than a bicycle. It's like he thinks we'll take off like rockets!"
"That's because he'll never stop seeing us as his two little girls." said Zara.
"Maybe if we start mentioning it more, he'll come around? 'Dad, we promise to wear helmets!'" said Bloom.
"Hey, Bloom! Zara!" a girl called out to them.
"Huh?" they said, spotting a classmate of theirs.
"Vacationing in Gardenia this year?" she asked them.
"No, actually we'll be going away very soon." Bloom tells her.
"We'll be sure to take lots of pictures for you, Mitzi." said Zara.
"The same old beach, huh?" Mitzi asked, feeling somewhat bad for the twins. "I'll send you both a post card from our vacation place. That'll give you a chance to see something."
Bloom gave her an anger look as Kiko sticks out his tongue and makes a funny face at her. Lavender on the other hand, shakes her fist at Mitzi. Meanwhile, two guys were unloading something of hers.
"Hey! Careful with that scooter." Mitzi called out to them. "Its brand new, you know."
"We can tell." said Zara, seeing Mitzi's scooter.
"Have a nice summer, Mitzi. See you at school." said Bloom as she and Zara got on their bikes and rode off. "What a show-off."
"You know she does that just to get a rise out of us, Bloom." said Zara. "Don't let her get to you."
"I know, I know….but she's still a show off, Zara." said Bloom.
"I can do what I always do, Bloom." Zara said to her.
"What's that? Roll your eyes and hope she disappears?" Bloom asked, knowing her sister.
"I could do that." said Zara. "Then again, I can always chase Mitzi around Gardenia with my bo staff."
"That would definitely send a message! Just make sure you don't accidentally trip over your own feet this time." said Bloom.
Both girls rode through town, heading to the park. Once there, Kiko and Lavender jumped out of the baskets to run around. "Go on, Kiko, but stick around, all right?" Bloom said.
"Lavender, you and Kiko stay out of trouble, okay?" said Zara.
Leaning against their bikes, Bloom bites into the apple Zara had tossed her earlier as Zara looks up at the clouds. Suddenly, Kiko and Lavender scream as they ran towards the twins, only for Kiko to fall face flat in front of Bloom.
Lavender pulls pulling on Zara's pant leg, getting her attention while Kiko did the same thing. "What's the matter Kiko?" asked Bloom.
"What's going on, Lavender?" asked Zara. Both bunnies pointed in the direction of the woods.
"You don't think Lavender and Kiko found a bad thing, right?" Bloom asked, looking at Zara.
"I doubt it. But let's go check anyway." said Zara as they both scurried off with the girls close behind. "Who knows what they found."
Hiding behind a tree, Bloom and Zara looked into a clearing to see a blonde girl their age, using a staff as she fights several creatures. "Rising sun!" shouted the girl as she fires a bright yellow energy from her hand, blasting the creatures away from her. In the shadows of the trees, there was a shadow like creature in a shape of a troll.
"Wow." said Zara and Bloom, then looked at their bunnies.
"Goodness, did you and Lavender see that, Kiko?" Bloom asked as Kiko passes out.
"You and Kiko are awesome, Lavender." said Zara, only for Lavender to cover her eyes with her ears.
"Solar Wind!" the girl shouted, stomping the end of her staff at the ground, sending more energy towards the shadow troll creature. After destroying what the girl hand sent it in its hands, it walks out into the light, revealing itself to be an actual troll.
"Go away you villain!" the girl said as the troll growls at her. "Or you will feel the magic of the sun and moon fairy!"
The troll growls again as it rushes towards the girl and knocks her back. "Oh my goodness." Bloom exclaimed.
"We gotta do something." said Zara.
"How?" Bloom asked.
"I don't know, but we gotta figure it out before something bad happens to her." Dawn tells her. "Too bad I left my bo staff at home."
"Your time's up, fairy." said the troll.
"Good heavens." said Bloom as Zara glares at the troll.
"Ghoulies, take the scepter!" he shouted and the ghoulies rushed towards the fairy in order to get her scepter. The girl struggles against the ghoulies as they grabbed parts of her body, as one ghoulie held her scepter.
"Give me that scepter." the troll said to the ghoulie, taking the scepter from it. He then gets into her face. "Not so brave now, are you?"
"Let her go!" shouted Bloom and Zara as they came out of the shadows.
"Or else, we'll…..wait, what are we going to do?" Bloom asked.
"I don't know….." said Zara, then looks at Bloom. "I thought you had a plan this time."
"Guess I didn't think that far ahead." said Bloom.
"You always say we need a backup plan, Bloom." Zara said, raising an eyebrow. "What happened to the 'all or nothing' attitude?"
"Yeah, well, this time it seems like it's all nothing." Bloom said.
"Get them!" shouted the troll and several ghoulies ran towards the twins.
"Get back!" shouted Bloom as orange energy surrounded her.
"Stay away from us!" shouted Zara, going into martial arts mode as blue energy surrounded her. Orange and Blue bubbles surrounded each twin, protecting them and their pets from being hurt.
"Huh?"
"Did….did we just do that?" Bloom asked her sister.
"I think so. What are we?" asked Zara. Kiko and Lavender were trembling as they looked up at the twins.
"Oh….yeah!" squeaked Kiko as he starts punching the air. Lavender starts kicking the air as she happily squeaks. A ghoulie pops up at the stump, causing both bunnies to look over, turn white and pass out in fear. Bloom taps the Ghoulie on the shoulder, causing it to look up as Zara waves at him.
"Hands off Kiko and Lavender!" shouted the twins as they swing branches at it.
"Oh…" said both bunnies as they looked up when suddenly the troll walks up behind the girls.
"Come here." he said, grabbing them both by the arm. Zara tries to free herself but it was no use. The troll was too strong to let go of his grip. "I'll break the two of you like a China doll set."
The twins gasped in pain as orange and blue like energies started building up in their bodies. "No!" they screamed as their energies were released into two dragons that were circling each other, like Yin and Yang.
"Wow! Powerful!" said the fairy, shocked that the twins had this much power inside them. Zara groans as she pressed her head. The fairy walks over to her scepter, picking it up from the ground before checking on the twins.
"Are you both okay?" she asked as they looked up.
"Well, yeah….." said Bloom.
"We'll be okay….." said Zara.
"I have my scepter back." the fairy tells the twins as the troll huffs in pain and starts running towards her. "You don't scare me anymore." She then knocks him back with the power of her scepter. "Only returning the compliment, you beast."
Suddenly, the ghoulies started closing in. "Watch out!" said Bloom and Zara. The fairy growls as she twirls her scepter above her head before swinging it in front of her, releasing light energy.
Not far from them, Kiko was imitating the fairy, accidentally hitting Lavender in the face when he did his pose. Lavender rubs her cheek as she glares at Kiko, who smiled sheepishly and quickly hugs her. Both bunnies looked over at the twins, seeing a couple ghoulies grab ahold and screamed in fear.
Both ghoulies grabbed Bloom's and Zara's pant legs, causing the girls to knock them off towards the troll. "We'll meet again, blondie." said the troll as he disappears with the ghoulies.
"Thank goodness, they're gone at last." said the fairy, when suddenly she falls to the ground, passing out.
"Hey, are you all right?" Bloom asked as the girl transforms out of her fairy outfit. "Answer me! Zara, you don't think she's….?"
"No, she's fine, Bloom." said Zara, checking for a pulse. "This girl just passed out. We just gotta get her home."
"You're right. We better get home, Kiko and Lavender." said Bloom. "This girl needs help."
"Let's go!" said Zara as they start carrying her home. "Oh good god! She weighs more than you do!"
"Hey! Don't blame me!" said Bloom. "She's got to be wearing, like, ten layers of fairy magic or something!"
Somewhere, in the Magix dimension, three eyes were glowing in the mist. "Knut, come forward." said a female voice, as he walks forward with his head hanging down.
"So….you have failed?" asked another female voice.
"Not my fault, your highness." said Knut. "I had the scepter in my hands, but this set of Earling girls appears and messes everything up."
"A set of Earthling girls?" asked the first female voice.
"Oh, but they weren't your ordinary set of Earthlings." Knut went onto explain and demonstrates what the twins could do. "They've got powers, these girls. They pushed back my ghouls just like that."
"Interesting." the second female voice said. "Describe them."
"Well, let's see…" said Knut, thinking as he tries his best to describe Bloom and Dawn. "They were….."
"Knut, your glasses….where are they?" asked the first female voice.
"Right here, highness." Knut said, taking them out of his pocket.
"Well, put them on you dolt!" shouted the third female voice. "A near sighted ogre. How ridiculous."
"If only he wear his glasses he'd be alright." said the first female voice.
"Oh would you stop defending him?" asked the third female voice.
"An ogre with glasses." said Knut, finally wearing his glasses. "Looks kind of lame."
"Quiet!" shouted the third female voice. "Those two girls could mean something to us."
"Oh, but highness, don't worry." he tells them, then shows the pieces of clothing that was taken. "Two of my ghouls grabbed this. These are pieces of those girl's clothing. To us, this is nothing, but to a hunting troll, it's an important clue."
A hunting troll walks over to him and starts to smell Bloom's article of clothing, then Zara's. "You see?" Knut asked.
"Good, then go back to Gardenia and find the girls, and this time," said the first female voice.
"Don't let us down!" said all three girls.
That night in Gardenia, Mike was unsure about what the twins brought home. "Bloom, Zara, I'm not sure I understand." he said to the twins. "Could you both run that by me again?"
"We already told you." said the twins.
"She was attacked by some horrible creature." Bloom explained.
"And said horrible creature was trying to take her scepter." added Zara, holding the girl's scepter in her hands.
"She's some kind of fairy." they both said in unison.
"Hmm….I see." said Mike.
"You believe us, then?" asked Bloom as she and Zara had hope in their eyes.
"No, I don't." Mike tells them, causing Zara to open her mouth in shock. "I think we should call the police and take this girl to a hospital."
"No, please don't tell anyone." the girl said, opening her eyes.
"She's coming to." said Vanessa as she sits up. "How do you feel, dear?"
"Huh?" she said, looking up at Vanessa.
"I'm all right." she said, then turns to the twins. "Thanks for helping me out."
"It was nothing." said Bloom and Zara.
"My name is Stella." she said, introducing herself.
"Hi, Stella. My name is Bloom."
"My name's Zara, Bloom's twin sister."
"Should we call your parents?" Vanessa asked Stella.
"That would be difficult." said Stella. "I come from a place that's a bit far from here. Have you heard of Solaria? It's a kingdom far-far away from here. I'm a fairy, you know. I was trying to get to Alfea Castle, in the realm of Magix. "
"Oh but of course." Mike said not believing Stella's story one bit and walks over to the phone. "I'm calling the police. It doesn't take a genius to realize that this girl is seriously out of her mind."
Stella couldn't believe what she was hearing and uses her magic to transform the house phone into a couple of vegetables. "Huh?" Mike said, looking down and sees what Stella had done.
"All right, you believe me now?" questioned Stella.
"We saw her and we believe her." said Bloom.
"Yeah, so top that dad." added Zara.
"Those creatures attacked me and I was forced to land here on your planet." Stella explained. "Your daughters saved my life. They pushed back the ghouls with an energy shield."
"Actually, I don't know how I did it." said Bloom.
"Neither do I. But it was cool though." said Zara, grinning from ear to ear.
"Fairies don't need to know how, she just does it, that's all." said Stella.
"We're…..fairies?" asked the twins, looking at each other with smiles on their faces.
"Of course, you two are. Don't tell me you're not." Stella said to the twins. "Don't tell me you both are not registered for the new program at Alfea Castle? It's the best school for young fairies like the two of you and me."
"No, no." said Mike, stopping Stella from continuing. "Stop talking nonsense, please."
At a chemical plant in Gardenia, Knut and his goons appeared. "Ah, here we are." he said, then looks up at the hunting troll. "Troll, do your thing." It then starts smelling the twins clothes and growls.
"Find those girls." said Knut.
"This way!" he growled and leads Knut and his ghouls to the twins.
"So…this is your room, huh?" Stella asked, walking into the twins shared room.
"Yep." said Zara.
"Wow. Did you draw these?" asked Stella, taking a closer look at Bloom's drawings.
"Yes." answered Bloom.
"They're amazing." commented Stella.
"Oh, no! It's okay, Stella." Bloom assures her. "I mean…."
"I've always told Bloom that she's gifted." said Zara, who started putting together her partially constructed bo staff.
"Not as gifted as you are when it comes to martial arts." said Bloom.
"You're into martial arts?" asked Stella. "I had no idea you were so skilled!"
"Yeah." said Zara as she clicks both halves of her bo staff together and starts twirling it a bit. "I've been training for a while now. It's one of the ways to stay fit and clear my mind."
"And these are yours?" Stella asked, taking a closer a look at Zara's medals and her bo staff.
"Sure are. I have more medals in those bins. The ones you're looking at are the ones I've recently got." said Zara, pointing to the medals that Stella was looking at. "But my bo staff is something different."
"Huh? Sorry, I'm a bit nosy." said Stella.
"Things are not okay." said Bloom. "For instance, I still don't understand what happened in the park."
"Neither do I." said Zara as both of them looked at their ripped pant legs.
"Bloom, Zara, you used your powers to save me." Stella tells them as she looks out their window. "You should be proud of yourselves. In my world, magix is a part of life and powers such as yours are perfectly normal."
"Is your world like that?" the twins asked as Stella picks up a book and skims through it. "It is?"
"Yes, almost. But it's much nicer in here." said Stella. "It's so different."
"I guess it all depends on your point of view, Stella." said Bloom. "We still can't get over about what happened."
"I'm still shocked by it." added Zara.
"Strong feelings such as fear have summoned up the wonderful powers that are in you." Stella begins to tell them as the twins sit on Bloom's bed. "They were always there; you just didn't know it. It's just a question of concentration. With your energies, you could do anything. Watch."
She then turns to the desk and levitates Bloom's colored pencils, creating one huge colored pencil. "Okay, now it's your turn." said Stella.
"You first, Bloom. You're older." said Zara.
"Give them back their original shape." Stella instructed. Bloom tries to give her pencils back their original shape, but started struggling. "Well?"
"Here, Bloom. Let me, help you." said Zara, grabbing her sister's hand, and starts struggling as well.
"Nothing." they said as the pencil fell to the floor and they sat back down on Bloom's bed. "We can't do it."
"You both should come with me to Alfea Castle." Stella suggested. "It's a school for fairies. A new session is about to start and the two of you can learn how to control your powers. And I'm sure you'd make excellent fairies."
"Where's Alfea?" Bloom and Zara asked.
"It's in the enchanted realm of Magix." said Stella as the twins listened in awe. "A place beyond time and space where everything is possible." Stella then came up with an idea. "If you want to see the school, I'll show it to you."
On a piece of paper, Stella shows them a two dimension version of Alfea. "This is a bottomless postcard, watch this." she said. "Magix." Soon enough, Stella's feet starts to go through the postcard. "Now follow me."
In a dark alley way, the hunting troll followed the scent. "She's not far." he tells Knut as they hid in the shadows. "The smell is strong. There's another fairy."
"It's Stella." said Knut. "They're together."
Back in the twins room, Bloom and Zara looked at each other. "Together?" Bloom asked.
"Together." Zara said, nodding. They went over to the postcard, held each other's hand, following Stella's lead.
"So, we just jump on in, like you?" asked Bloom.
"This feels a little weird." said Zara.
"Oh!" they said, shocked as they went through.
"Yes, hurry up before the gate closes." said Stella.
The hunting troll walks quickly towards the scent he was following. "I've lost the scent." said the hunting troll after smelling the air. "They've disappeared."
"Huh! Fairies." Mike scoffed, causing Knut and his goons to run off. "It's totally ridiculous."
"Mike, it's not ridiculous." Vanessa said to him. "It's true. Come on, admit it. You and I both know that Stella is a real fairy. But you're afraid to believe it. Mike, if this is Bloom's and Zara's true nature, who are we to stop them."
Inside the postcard, Zara sees Alfea in the distance. "This is Alfea Castle." said Stella. "Nice, huh? I'm sure you both like it here."
"But what about our high school in Gardenia?" asked Bloom. "I mean, everything is happening so fast."
"Couple of things because I gotta know." said Zara. "First off, does Alfea separate twin sisters and second, if they have me and Bloom share a room, can there be a bunk bed installed?"
"I don't know but you can ask." said Stella, then turns to Bloom. "Listen, think about it. I've got to leave tomorrow morning with or without the two of you."
"All right, we'll sleep on it." said the twins.
"Now how do we get out of here?" asked Bloom.
"Easy, all you have to do it jump up." said Stella and jumps out of the postcard.
"Okay, then." said Zara, shrugging her shoulders as she and Bloom jump out.
"Wait a minute." said the hunting troll, getting the scent again. "The scent is back. They're in this house."
He then points to the house where the twins lived. "Good work, troll." said Knut. "They can't escape us now. We'll go in through the back door and take the whole happy family by surprise."
Kiko and Lavender hopped around the kitchen floor when they looked back, sensing something was in the back yard. They looked at the window and screamed, seeing a ghoul through the glass. Both of them ran towards Mike and Vanessa.
"What's wrong, you two?" Mike asked as he picks up both bunnies. "We'll play later, okay? We're really busy right now."
Just then, there was a knock at the back door, causing Kiko to point at it in fear. Lavender buries herself behind Mike's leg. Kiko tries to tell Vanessa it was Knut and his friends at the back door.
"What? Hungry again?" Mike asked Kiko as Lavender grabs onto Mike's pant leg. "You just had your dinner. You're going to have to wait a bit."
Kiko runs off towards the back door, trying to keep Knut and his ghouls outside. Lavender hops towards Kiko, helping him out. When they were both knocked onto their bunny butts, Kiko had an idea and gestures Lavender to follow him. Both bunnies started blocking the door with anything they could find in the kitchen.
Just then, Kiko and Lavender were knocked down, causing everything they had stacked to crash down. "Huh? asked Mike, hearing the crash. "What are those rabbits doing, trashing the kitchen? Kiko? Lavender? Come here, immediately."
When the bunnies didn't respond, Mike and Vanessa heard a growl in the house, causing them to look up to see the hunting troll. "That doesn't sound good." said Zara as they heard the hunting troll's roar coming from downstairs and they looked each other.
The hunting troll hits the couch as the ghouls came out from their hiding places. Mike and Vanessa hugged each other in fear. "Those girls must be around here somewhere." said Knut.
"We're right behind you." said Stella as two out of three girls start throwing things while the latter starts hitting them with her bo staff.
"What?" said Knut, turning around to see the three girls on the stairs.
"Hi! How's it going?" Zara asked, glaring at them.
"Now, let's settle this. Solaria!" said Stella as she transforms into her fairy outfit.
The hunting troll steps forward, ready to deal with Stella, who then aims her legs at him, kicking him back. "You dummy!" shouted Knut. "You got beat by a cutesy blonde!"
"Yes, but I'm no ordinary blonde." said Stella.
"I wonder what he has to say about redheads." said Zara as Bloom nodded thoughtfully.
"Bloom, Zara, we're outnumbered." Stella says as they walked up. "We're gonna have to split them up."
"I have an idea." said Bloom. "Zara and I will take care of the ghouls."
"It'll give me a workout." said Zara, then takes off with Bloom, leading the ghouls out of the house. "Can't catch us!"
"All right, Blondie." Knut said as Mike and Vanessa hide behind a chair, making their getaway out the window. "Want to see what me and the troll can do? If I were you, I'd get ready to lick my wounds. Know what I mean?"
"Very well." said Stella. "Let's see what you two can do against that? Burning….."
"Now what do we do?" Bloom asked her twin.
"Hoping that Stella doesn't destroy the house with her magic." said Zara as she and Bloom stood outside with the ghouls. On the ground, there was a pot moving around. Bloom picks it up, not realizing that Kiko and Lavender were inside, shaking with fear.
"Um….Um…." said the girls as Bloom drops the pot with their bunnies inside. Just then, Knut was blasted out of the house.
"Wow, Stella sure knows how to command respect." said Bloom.
"Yeah! Cause she definitely has mine." said Zara as Stella came through the window.
"Stella!" Bloom and Zara called out as they ran over to her.
"Bloom, Zara." she said, looking up at them. "Don't worry. I've called the Specialists."
"The who?" the twins asked, confused with one raising an eyebrow.
The hunting troll walks out of the house, destroying the door. Not far from where the twins lived, Mitzi was trying to find something on TV when she heard noise coming from outside. "What a racket." she said. "I can't hear a thing."
The hunting troll stalks in towards the three girls, towering over them when suddenly, a long whip wraps around his neck. A group of boys wearing uniforms and capes held weapons as one boy held back the hunting troll.
"Guys, I'm ready." said the boy with glasses.
"Let's take him to jail where he belongs." said the younger blonde.
"What's the rush?" asked the boy with purple hair. "Don't you wanna have a little fun first?"
"I wouldn't be so cocky if I were you." said the brunette, leaning on his sword. "After all, this is our first mission."
"He's right, dude and you know it." said another boy with brunette hair, taking a look over at the twins and Stella as the purple haired boy went over to the hunting troll. "There's ladies present so behave yourself."
"I rest my case." said the brunette as the boy with purple hair didn't listen as he missed his mark.
"You know, you should've listened to your friend there." Zara said to him as he looks up. "There are girls out there who don't even wanna date boys who are cocky like you."
"Stay behind me." said the second brunette haired boy as his friend joins him in blocking the hunting troll, who was now making his way to him and bangs on both shields. "Sky! You mind doing something?"
"Huh?" said Sky, lifting up his sword and swings it at ground, causing it to split open.
"My turn!" said the boy with glasses, firing a few laser shots from his weapon towards the hunting troll's feet, causing him to fall into the hole. "Bull's eye."
"Yeah, well done." said the younger blonde. "But it's not over yet."
"Girls." said the boy with purple hair as he stands up.
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Okay, who wants to feel my blade, huh?" he asked the ghouls as he starts to fight them when Knut punches him back and growls at the Specialists. As his back was turned, Stella aims a ball of yellow light at him.
"See? I told you two you could do it." said Stella.
"Then, Zara and I are really fairies." Bloom said as they both looked down at their hands.
"Of course you both are, I'm never wrong." Stella said proudly.
"Oh, I've got such a good idea right now." said Zara, smiling as she grips her bo staff.
"You're not…." Bloom started to ask.
"What?! No! Bloom, you know that I'm bound by the code." Zara tells her.
"What code?" asked Stella.
"The code that Zara and all the others have to live by when it comes to martial arts." said Bloom. "One of the rules of their code of conduct is to never start a physical fight."
"You'll start hearing me say time to time: live by the code, die by the code." said Zara, gesturing to prove a point. "But I'm honestly curious to know if I can combine both my martial arts and my magix together."
"Oh! I would love to see that." said Stella.
"You can do it, Zara. I'm sure of it." said Bloom. "I'll even help you."
"Good, because I might need it." said Zara. Knut stands back onto his feet and looks back at the girls before looking at the Specialists. He then looks at the crack in the ground that his hunting troll fell in.
"Drats." said Knut as he backs up, claps his hands and slips away through the purple light.
"Finally! This one's over." said Stella. "Bloom, Zara, meet our five heroes. Riven, Prince Sky, Timmy, Xander, and Brandon, Prince Sky's Squire."
"Hey, you." said Timmy as the hunting troll came out and places a collar on him. "Where do you think you're going?"
Vanessa and Mike came into the backyard and saw what was happening. Just then, there was a portal opening for the boys. "See you, later." they said as they left with the hunting troll.
"Two of them are really cute." said Zara as she looks at Bloom, unaware that Xander was overhearing her. "You think that Xander could be that Squire's brother?"
"Who knows, Zara." Bloom tells her, giggling as Zara placed a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Honestly, I don't know if he has a brother or not." Stella said to Zara, thinking for a moment.
The next morning, Bloom and Zara had finally made their decision. Mike was in the living room, sweeping away the glass on the floor when Stella walks in. "You know, it would be easy for me to straighten up everything with a little magic." she said to Mike.
"Thanks, but I prefer this way." said Mike when Vanessa and the twins walked in with the twins each carrying a suitcase.
"Bloom and Zara are ready." said Vanessa.
"You sure about this, sweeties?" Mike asked, feeling a little worried.
"Yes, dad. We're going with Stella to the Realm of Magix and Alfea castle." said Bloom.
"We'll be fine." said Zara. "It's not like one of my tournaments."
"Call us as soon as you both get there and let us know everything." said Mike. "I still can't believe that we agreed to this. What if either of you get sick? What if you meet these monsters again?"
"Dad, Zara and I will be careful"" said Bloom.
"Bloom's right. I'm even more interested if I can combine my magic with my martial arts skills, Dad." said Zara.
Unknown to them, Kiko and Lavender hopped over to Zara and Bloom, wanting to go with them. "We promise." they tell him.
"Bloom, Zara, we love you both very much and please come home when the session is over next summer." said Vanessa. "We'll miss the two of you."
"And we'll miss you both so much." said the twins.
"Uh…uh….uh." said Mike. "Did you really think we'd let you both go just like that? No, we're coming with you."
"Really?" asked the twins. "Wow, thanks dad. This is so great."
"No sweat. And anyway, I really want to see this famous magix dimension you keep talking about." said Mike, grabbing his firemen's jacket. "So….."
"Stella, is it possible?" Bloom asked.
"You can always say no." said Zara.
"Hmm….the rules don't allow it," Stella said as she takes off her ring. "but as they say, rules are made to be broken." Then her ring transforms into her scepter. "Are you ready?"
"We were born ready." said Mike.
"To Magix we go!" Stella cried out as she channels her magix into her scepter, taking the family of four to the Magix Dimension and Alfea. They went through a portal that Stella had created and on the other side, they landed in front of both the forest and the school.
"Ow!" said Mike as he landed on his butt. He then looks up and sees Alfea Castle in the distance. "Wow! It really does exist."
"You believe us now?" asked Bloom as Zara crossed her arms and looks up at their father.
"I won't judge you." said Zara.
"Come on, we gotta go." said Stella. "Classes are about to begin."
