AN: Bloody hell, I've done this a number of times, and it still leaves a sort of hole-like depressing feeling whenever I end a story. Anyway, as you may have deduced, this is the official ending of "Displaced". Now I've gotten questions and suggestions about a sequel, and I actually decided on doing one, however, it wouldn't be for a while since it would take place during the sixth season, which has barely even begun. So I'd need to watch it before I write anything.
And before anyone says anything, I know that this is definitely a little long for an Epilogue, but in all honesty, I did my best, considering the fact that I ended up getting sick…again…
So without further ado, I would like to thank the many readers and reviewers with all my heart for sticking with this story until the very end and tolerating my lateness!
-Displaced-
oO~A Peaceful End…Or is It?" ~Oo
Well, everything had settled down with the Winx after Tritannus' banishment. But what, you may be asking, happened in the Other Dimension when the Winx went back to their own?
-Other Dimension; Gardenia; Love and Pet-
"Another day over and out," Stella huffed lightly as she slumped down on a chair.
"You know you loved it," Layla teased the sun fairy as she, too sat down, though on the floor.
"We all do," Musa smiled. "It's definitely a hard taking care of all these pets and managing the customers, but it's worth it when you see the smiles on their faces."
"The customers' or the pets'?" Bloom asked.
"Both," Flora broke in with a giggle.
It had been a little over a month since the girls had returned to their rightful dimension, stronger than they'd ever been. When they'd first returned, the girls had been swarmed with questions and words of gratitude to the point where Ms. Faragonda had ordered everyone to leave them alone, even going as far as putting an altered barrier spell on them to ensure their privacy.
-Flashback; Two Weeks Ago-
-Alfea; Headmistress' Office-
"I'm afraid there really isn't much left to teach you all," Faragonda said, giving a small smile to the six girls before her. "With your boost in power, you've all gained the right to graduate or stay here to further your studies."
The girls looked at each other for a moment and nodded. It was Layla who gave a reply. "If it's okay with you, I think we're better off leaving Alfea."
The girls gave a small nod in agreement.
"We love it here," Musa assured the headmistress quickly, "but after everything that's happened, we don't really feel like we belong here anymore."
"I understand," Faragonda told them gently. "But where will you go?"
"We'll be heading to Earth," Bloom spoke up. "My hometown, in fact. There are a few things we need to do there, but we also think it's a nice place to settle down until we figure out what we want to do."
Unknown to their counterparts or anyone aware of that particular secret here, during the power transfer between both groups of girls, the girls of this dimension gained the memories of their counterparts.
It was using those memories that they figured out what they wanted to do, having expected this meeting with Faragonda sooner or later.
"Will you at least stay for a formal graduation ceremony?" the headmistress asked.
The girls smiled softly and nodded.
"Of course," Flora answered for them all. "We couldn't leave Alfea without an official graduation!"
Everyone burst out into laughter at this.
"But I hope you six know that the doors of Alfea will always be open to you," Faragonda said gently.
"We know, Ms. F," Musa said as they all gathered the elder woman in a tight embrace. "We know."

-Alfea Grounds; Three Days Later; Evening of the Third Day-
"What do you think's going on?" Sky asked as he and the rest of the Red Fountain Specialists walked onto the school grounds.
"I don't know," Timmy shook his head. "Codatorta's been really secretive about this." He turned to Helia. "What about your uncle? Has he mentioned anything about this?"
"I'm afraid not," Helia answered in negative. "I tried getting him to tell me, but he would just keeping that it was a 'surprise'."
"Whoa," Brandon whistled lowly. "There's bound to be a huge party if they've got the place decorated like this…"
And what he said was true. The entirety of the Alfea Grounds was decorated tiny twinkling lights of all sorts of colours, streams hanging decoratively from the school building, flowers that glowed in the evening light floated high above their heads, and what seemed like pixie dust was suspended in the air. And right there in the centre of the grounds, a platform was set up with a long table that had six intricately designed jewelry boxes set atop it.
(AN: This kind of pixie dust doesn't have any magical properties aside from looking pretty.)
All in all, the sight was stunning.
The girls of Alfea were already out and about on the grounds in lavishly designed formal dresses, mingling with their friends and flirting with the boys of Red Fountain.
It wasn't until a few moments later that a violet-hued portal opened up on the Alfea grounds. From that portal, Headmistress Griffin stepped out, followed by her students, who were also decked out in their [more darkly themed] formal wear.
"Okay so the witches were invited," Sky commented. "Is this some kind of gathering to celebrate the three schools fighting together?"
The boys only shrugged in answer.
"Hey," Carmen sauntered over to Riven, wrapping an arm around his waist.

Carmen wore a black form-fitting floor-length dress with a slit up her left leg to mid-thigh strapless sweetheart-neckline, from which a deep-green lacy fabric sprouted into two straps over her shoulders that lengthened into quarter-length lacy sleeves.
She wore a simple silver band around her right write and a simple silver necklace that was looped thrice around her neck and left to hang to just above her collarbone. Her maroon hair was swept up into an elegant bun with her bangs swept over one eye, and she wore a pair of black two-inch heels.

Riven only gave a half-hearted grunt in reply.
"What's wrong with you?" Carmen burst out. "You go missing for days on end with some stupid pixies, I get no calls from you, and now you're barely even looking at me!"
"Just leave it alone," the magenta-haired Specialist grumbled out.
Carmen growled, her hands pulsing with magic. "Tell me what's going on right now or we're over!"
"Then leave," Riven said indifferently, "'Cause there's nothing to say."
The witch let out a shriek of anger, much different from her formerly calm expression, and stalked away in anger.
"Ouch," Brandon winced.
"That could have gone better," Helia commented. "Did you really need to be so hard on her?"
"Why did you break up with her in the first place?" Timmy asked, though he had an inkling as to why…
"Don't act like you don't know," Riven snorted. "You know exactly why I broke it off. In fact, it's the same reason why you guys broke it off with the girls you guys were with."
That said, the rest of the boys looked away from each other, an awkward silence falling over them.
It was then that the Alfea staff walked up to the platform in the centre of the grounds. They all stood in a line in front of the table with them being arranged in such that Ms. Faragonda was situated in the centre of them all.
"If I may have your attention, please!" the headmistress called, holding her hands up for silence.
The loud chatter died down to a few murmurs and mumbles before hushing altogether.
"Thank you," Faragonda bowed her head slightly in thanks. "This has been a trying year with many more disasters than we've ever faced. However, we all fought together, like true warriors and defeated the evil that plagued us."
Faragonda looked out at the crowd for a while in pause. "Now, I know as well as you all that the credit for our victory doesn't solely reside with us, but six brave fairies that have hidden their true potential for years. And now, without further ado, I would like to give a round of applause to the saviors of the Magical Dimension: The Winx Club!"
Everyone broke out into applause and cheers as Flora, Musa, Tecna, Bloom, Stella, and Layla walked up to the platform and stood in front of the table as the Alfea staff walked around to stand behind the table, once again with Faragonda situated in the centre.
(AN: I'll just put up links of the dresses I think they'd be wearing just before the end note.)
"But this isn't just a commemoration to our victory," the headmistress continued when the applause died down, "for this is the night when these six girls will leave Alfea with the power and titles of Guardian Fairies of their respective realms!"
She turned to look at each girl in turn, giving them a proud smile as she snapped her fingers.
Six scrolls rolled out in front of each girl, all bearing the same writing, though the only difference was that each of theirs had their respective names and realms on the scroll.
"These are no ordinary jewelry boxes you see here before you. They contain the power you have earned and will need to become a true Guardian Fairy," Faragonda said. "Now, open them and welcome your hard-earned destiny."
(AN: A little weird to probably even say that considering the fact that the powers they now have aren't exactly hard-earned. Ah, and the gradutation ceremony is exactly as it was in the first film, though just add Bloom in this time.)
One by one, each of the girls opened the beautiful jewel encrusted boxes, releasing a stream of magic unique for each fairy. The girls were raised into the air by this magic as it merged with the six fairies.
Everyone watched the spectacle in awe, especially five Specialists who couldn't seem to rip their eyes off of five of the six girls.
"As of now," Faragonda said once the girls were lowered back to the ground with a noticeable glow to their complexions, "You girls are now full-fledged Guardian Fairies and Official Graduates of Alfea!"
The audience once again broke out into applause, but this time it was louder than it had been when the girls first emerged. But they watched as Bloom turned to the Headmistress and murmured something, to which she nodded.
"Well, words won't be able to express just how we feel right now," Bloom spoke loudly. "But now that we've graduated, there's something the girls and I would like to say."
"We're leaving Alfea," the girls chorused.
Gasps ran through the crowd and the Specialists' eyes widened in surprise.
"As you know," Tecna explained, "once a fairy of Alfea becomes a full-fledged Guardian Fairy, they're given two choices."
"They either go back to their realms to protect them," Stella continued.
"Or they stay here at Alfea to further their studies," Musa said after.
"Some even go to travel around to different realms to learn as much as they can," Flora added.
"But we've decided to leave Alfea," Layla finished.
"Are you going back to your realms?"
"Will you be traveling?"
"Where are you going?"
"Why are you going?"
These questions bounced around among the crowd, overlapping each other to the point where Musa put two fingers in her mouth and gave a sharp whistle.
The crowd hushed immediately.
"We're leaving because we want to," Flora replied. "But we won't be going back to our realms and we won't be traveling."
"We've decided to settle down in a place that's quite…interesting," Tecna said.
"We know we're always welcome at Alfea and we'll visit whenever we want," Layla spoke, "but we just don't think there's really anything else we can learn here that we haven't."
"That's why we decided to leave," Bloom finished for them. "We'll still be around, but I don't think you'll be seeing us as much anymore."
And with that said, Ms. Faragonda asked for one last round of applause. But suddenly, as the applause died down, the six girls snapped their fingers and in a flash of light, they were gone.
-End Flashback-
Once the girls had left the school, they'd gone straight to Earth and opened up their own Love and Pet shop, just as their counterparts did.
Business hadn't gone very well the first few months, but in time, more and more people of Gardenia started to adopt their pixie pets, the town's belief in magic increasing with each adoption.
But that wasn't all the girls had done.
After passing the Sirenix Trials to honestly earn their Sirenix, the girls had made their way into the Infinite Ocean and destroyed and repaired the seals of each Pillar to ensure that if Tritannus did indeed come into power, he wouldn't be able to activate the Emperor's Throne.
Of course, this didn't stop Layla from going to check on the Merman now and then.
But all in all, the girls had been living peacefully since they'd left the Magical Dimension.
"I wonder what going on at Alfea right now…" Layla sighed.
"I know what you mean," Musa smirked. "It feels weird not being there, doesn't it?"
The girls all nodded.
"I hope those girls and guys managed to defeat Tritannus," Bloom said quietly.
Stella nodded. "He's way creepy…and really cliché! I mean seriously, who hasn't heard of the 'take over the world' stuff from villains?"
"There's really nothing we can do, though," Tecna pointed out. "We should at least be grateful since it was because of them that everything's so peaceful right now."
But little did they know, they were being watched by five certain someones just across the street…
