Magic, arguments, secrets and Switcheroo's part one

A/N: The story is set in season 2 of Winx Club.

Aisha of Andros was relaxing in the dormitory activity room with only Piff by her side on a Friday afternoon. All she wanted to do now was be by her. Aisha's time in Alfea was a whirlwind of emotions both good and others that she wanted to keep to her. The Winx had warmed up to her since her time in Alfea, something that she liked but was afraid of at the same time. Aisha thought that she should head back to Andros after The Shadow Phoenix was defeated, however her mother tried to persuade her to stay in Magix and attend Alfea. "It's good for you, Aisha." She told her. "You get to meet new people and already have five new friends. Try it out another year and if you don't like your stay, you can come back home." Aisha sighed when she heard her mother response to her stay in Magix. Her mother knew that Aisha's stay in Magix would get her out of her comfort zone in a positive way and trust the new friends that she made.

Making friends with the Pixies were easier than making friends with the fairies in Alfea. Originally, the King and Queen of Andros enrolled Aisha in the last quarter of her first year school and she ended up convincing her parents that she would transfer to the school in her second year only if she spent the last quarter of her first year surveying Magix. While she looked about the school, she ended up lost in the forest and following two pixies, Lockette and Chatta, and finding Pixie village while the birth of a new pixie commenced. When the pixie opened its eyes the first person it saw as Aisha and she made an instant connection to her. Ever since then, Aisha hung out with the pixies and hid her friendship with them from her parents, believing that she would socialize with girls and guys her age. Until The Shadow Phoenix kidnapped the pixies and Aisha first attempted to rescue them failed, she had never taken the chance to meet with any fairy in Alfea.

Aisha and Piff rest got interrupted when Flora, Musa, Chatta and Stella entered the room. "Come on, just try it!" Stella pleaded to the other two fairies. She was holding up the latest issue of Fairypolotian magazine, a magazine intended only for fairies and their love life. A completely shallow magazine for a person that border lines it, Aisha thought.

"No way, Stel," Musa said. Aisha liked Musa out of most of the Winx. She was a calm girl who loved to do her own thing and was independent even though she had a chauvinist of a boyfriend, Riven. "You are not going to get me to follow that junk!"

"I don't know, Stella," Flora added. Aisha liked Flora too. She was a sweet heart and was very shy like Aisha. "That magazine doesn't always...well... have good advice."

"Oh, come on!" Stella yelled. "It always works on me and my honey bun, Brandon!" Out of all the Winx, Aisha felt the iffiest about Stella. She had mean and sometimes nasty attitude and played on with her dumb blonde role too often. Aisha wondered how Bloom, Flora and Musa could put up with her. "Bloom, Tecna," The fairy of the shinning sun yelled to her lungs, awaking Piff again from her slumber, "I need your help!"

"What?" Bloom said, heading down from the hallway still in her pajamas (sleeping through the afternoon). Bloom proved to be a kind and caring girl in Aisha eyes, but Aisha had seen Bloom blow up at her boyfriend several times a day, changing her view about her a bit. "Not this again..."

"Stella, can you leave Musa and Flora alone." Tecna said to Stella. Tecna and Aisha were very neutral. She was best friends with Musa and kept things on friend-acquaintance ground with the rest of the Winx. "Whatever you say, I vote against it!"

"You don't even know what I was going to say! Anyways," Stella skimmed the magazine. "I found an article here about enhancing your love life that maybe Flora and Musa should try."

"And that's why I voted no." Tecna said with crossed arms.

Stella glared at her, "Found it, 'If you want to enhance your love life with the guy your with, try this potion out: a pinch of pixie dust, a blossomed pink rose, moon spring water, any chocolate of your choice, essence of your magic and a pure fire. Mix the ingredients in your vat and drink it before your date. It will work within 30 minutes and you and your date will have the best time'! You see it's that simple."

"It kind of is simple..." Bloom said quietly. Musa, Flora and Tenca turned their attention to Bloom. "I mean, the potion is simple and it only intensifies your feelings towards Helia and Riven."

"Thanks for having my back, Bloom." Stella motioned her tongue at Tecna, "So will you guys try it?"

"Okay... But only if the majority wins." Flora said.

"The majority," Stella questioned. "Ooooo Aisha!" Stella spotted the girl sitting on the couch with Piff observing the conversation. "We need you!"

Oh god, Aisha thought. "What is it Stella...?"

"Flora and Musa need help with their guys and I was wondering maybe I should help...should I?"

Aisha looked over at the two hopeless romantics, shaking her head to encourage her disagreement. Instead, Aisha went on with Stella's knit-picking. "I think it's a good idea."

"Awesome," Stella grabbed Flora and Musa. "Come on, we have a lot of work to do." Stella stopped by Aisha. "Maybe you should come; I can brew something up for you to find a special guy, someday."

Stella didn't understand how her words stung Aisha. "No thank you Stella," Aisha said calmly.

As Flora, Musa and Stella left the room and Bloom headed back to bed, Tecna and Aisha remained in the room. "Why did you vote for the potion?"

"I don't know, I caved in," Aisha sat down on the couch.

"I know that Stella can be, well, a bitch but she does have good intentions, she just doesn't say it in the right way." Tecna started to leave the room, "I heading to Magix later with Bloom 'Girls Night out' thing. Do you want to join us?"

"Okay," Aisha said without meaning to be, nonchalantly. Tecna gave her an odd look, said ok and left the room. Aisha placed her legs on the couch. "That's it; I'm leaving Magix after this year..." Aisha with a sad undertone said.

Flora and Musa were getting ready for their dinner dates while Tecna, Bloom and Aisha were going to surf the Magix night life. Stella had other plans with her boyfriend, Brandon. Flora came into Aisha's room. "Aisha, can you help me with my zipper?" She said. Aisha wondered why she would come all this way just for her to zip her dress when her roommate Bloom was still in the room at the time. Aisha zipped up her dress. "Thanks,"

"Sure," Aisha was already dressed to go out. Flora looked at her with uncertain expression on her face. "Is there something wrong?"

Flora took out the potion that Stella made for her. "I know you said yes to the idea, but I'm... nervous about the idea... Um, I mean... If Helia does like me, I mean he did kiss me... Do I really need this?"

"Flora, trust your gut," That was all she said to Flora. Flora, confused by Aisha advice, left her room. Chatta entered Aisha's room. "Hey Chatta,"

"Aisha, you spoke to Flora about the potion, right? Tell her that it was a mistake and not to drink it."

"I don't know why people are coming to me for this stuff? Flora is old enough to choose." The next words after this one would be the ones that Aisha regretted to say, "Why can't she think for herself and be independent?"

"So you think I'm not thinking for myself?" Flora said. The tone of her voice was confusion with a hint of anger and a pinch of sadness and disappointment. "I thought I could come to you for advice because you helped me before, but, I guess I can't." Flora left the room to head to her date.

A few minutes later, Stella entered the room with Musa in her grip. "She just drank the potion!"

"I feel a little funny. Is it suppose make me feel this way?"

"Sweetie, you just have jitters for your first dinner date with Riven. I added a little more of your essence and pixie dust into it." Stella held out an extra bottle for Aisha. "I still have an extra for you."

"No thank you," Aisha was stern.

"Maybe I could a find a different type of potion, or maybe I could help you shop for cute clothes and livin' up some of your pieces." Stella grabbed some workout sneakers from her closet. "Yuck, and get rid of this drab."

"Stella, I don't need you help with finding a guy." Aisha crossed her arms.

"But you're so lonely all the time, maybe if you got one you could be more like us and enjoy your time."

"Okay, just shut up, Stella," Aisha reached her breaking point. "I'm not using your potion, not taking your advice and don't want to be anything like you." She grabbed her sneakers from Stella and thrust them into the closet. "How could anyone deal with someone as shallow as you? For the short time that I knew you and the rest of the winx, I couldn't understand why anyone wanted to be friends with you; you have too many bitch moments."

"Well at least I'm not a total introvert and already have a boyfriend! Hun, it's you who have the issues and you're the one with the bitch moment. I've been with the other girls longer and they know me longer, so you have no right to judge me, little miss perfect."

Aisha placed her hand on her chin, "Maybe, you're just venting about your parents again. Get over it, people break up all the time, it doesn't mean that you have to project this fake image all the time and I don't have to know you long enough to know that."

Musa stood in shock. Stella hands were shaking. "I don't time to put up with you." She slammed Aisha door behind herself.

"Aisha, that was harsh," Musa finally added.

"Then you can leave with her! I don't want to put up with this anymore!" Musa left the same way Stella did, leaving Aisha in the room alone.

Bloom, Tecna and Aisha had a lot of fun together around Magix. They started out at a nice lunch hub, then in a night club with other students attending Alfea College. Bloom yelled that they should do karaoke at the restaurant across the street. The three of them signed their name up and ordered some dinner. Aisha went to use the bathroom when Bloom received a text from Stella. "'I had a horrible date. I'm still mad for what Aisha said to me and it got the better of me.'" Bloom texted her back about the situation and Stella wrote that Aisha called her a bitch and she had parental issues. "What's going on with Aisha?"

"She was acting all weird today. Flora told me that she called her a 'follower' and she couldn't do things for herself and I heard her bark at Musa before she left." Tecna and Bloom were unaware that Aisha recently got out of the bathroom and picked up on their conversation. "Stella has her moments, but I told her she means well. Probably, Aisha isn't all that she seems."

"So you guys are talking about me," Aisha interrupted. Before Bloom got the chance to console her, she left the restaurant and took the first bus back Alfea.

Aisha came into the dorm and saw Musa, Flora and Stella together. Musa and Flora were talking about how much fun they had on their dates while Stella tried to be happy for the two. When they noticed Aisha, things got quiet. "Hi Aisha," Flora said with caution.

"Hey," Aisha said quietly. She headed to her room when Stella stopped her. "What do you want now?"

"You may live with us, but you truly aren't like us. The 'Winx Club' represents friendship that comes in different styles and forms and if you have an issue with all of us, then you aren't a Winx at all."

"I'm only here until Darkar is defeated, then I'm going back home. I never desired to be a Winx nor do I care that you're officially kicking me out of the group." Aisha slammed the door behind her.

"Hun, you kicked yourself out of the circle." Stella said. Musa gave Stella credit.
