A/N: Heya! I wasn't lying when I said I'm going to rewrite this messy excuse of a story. This is the, if not the most, popular story I have written in this account. And if you think I'm going to waste its potential, then you're wrong!

If you're an old reader, then don't worry, I won't change much, just going to cut out most of the cringy stuff I used to find funny at the time and squeeze some chapters into one to make it more...organized and concise, I guess. But to the newer ones, I hope you enjoy this improved story!

Two fairies stood around the bus stop just outside of the famed Alfea College for Fairies, waiting for the bus to arrive to take them to Magix City. The two were gossiping amongst themselves about the usual things, like boys, clothes, makeup, and the six certain legendary fairies who saved the day yet again a few days ago, when the bus suddenly arrived in front of the bus stop with an abrupt stop. People filed out of the vehicle as the fairies patiently waited. All was well until a large, orange suitcase was thrown out the bus, just in front of the girls' feet, horrifying them.

"Did you really have to throw it out like that?!" A feminine, slightly shrill voice shrieked, and out came a blonde fairy, running after her fallen luggage.

"Well, maybe you should think twice at ordering people around," Another feminine, but tired voice snapped, and out came a blue-haired fairy, with bags under her eyes and her lips pursed into a thin line. She looked exhausted. She dragged her purple suitcase lazily, passing by the unnamed fairies and her blonde friend without batting an eye.

"Oh, Stella, you know how Musa gets when she's tired," A brunette fairy said to the blonde in an apologetic tone as she followed her tired friend, dragging her pink suitcase with her.

"Personally, I think what Musa did is completely justified," A pinkette fairy yawned, dragging her green suitcase with her.

"It's good to be back!" A redhead followed after, but with a relieved smile as she dragged her blue suitcase with her. "Hello, random girls!" She smiled at the fairies, before skipping to catch up with her friends.

"The sky is awfully gloomy today," Another brunette with darker hair observed, dragging her dark blue suitcase with her. "We look awful, we know. The Winx aren't perfect, shocking right? We're just...tired, so can you and the others not disturb us for about a week, yeah?" With that, she left with her friends.

As the two unnamed fairies got inside the bus, they looked at each other for a moment, with one question in mind.

"Who were they?" One asked, and the other shrugged.

"I still can't believe we wasted one year over a 'so-called' important mission." Layla muttered irritably, the rest muttered agreements. "One year! You know what we could have done in one year other than staying in some remote realm looking for something that turns out to be as useless as the shade of pink Stella tried to invent in freshmen year."

Stella opened her mouth to argue but decided not to and ignored her friend's comment. "I know, spending one year with Brandon at the mall would have been better than that,"

"Speaking of the guys..." Musa trailed off with a frown, "Why didn't they pick us up at the station? You know, taking the Owl and arrive home within 45 minutes is much better than taking a flying ship, then a boat, then walking to the bus station, and finally taking the bus to go home, all in a span of 16 hours with no sleep."

"I know, didn't they promise to meet us as soon as we're done with the mission?" Bloom frowned, looking around the campus where fairies were looking at them oddly, but she ignored them to look for a certain blond Specialist. "They're not even here..."

"Timmy won't even respond to calls, chats, messages, and emails. Unbelievable." Tecna muttered, looking down on her phone.

"Something's wrong," Flora said in a slightly panicky voice as she looked around, "Something's definitely wrong."

"How can you say that, Flo?" Layla asked the nature fairy.

"I don't know, I just feel like something's wrong," Flora shook her head, "For one, the weather is really gloomy, like something bad's going to happen, or has happened. Secondly, the guys promised to pick us up but they didn't and so far they are nowhere to be seen, not to mention how we didn't have any contact with them for a while now. Thirdly, people are staring at us weirdly."

Their eyes snapped to their surroundings. People were indeed staring at them oddly, making them more uncomfortable by the second. Surely, they've gotten used to the constant attention, but the way people were staring at them was with pure confusion, as if they were trying to figure something out, were creeping them out. "Take a picture, it'll last longer!" Musa snapped at the staring people, who looked away and some even scampered off.

"Wait, don't take a picture! I look awful!" Stella whined, causing her friends to shake their heads and chuckle at her silliness, a bit amused despite their uncertainty.

"Whatever, let's just go to Miss F," Musa said, and the rest of the girls agreed. They tried to ignore the odd stares that people seem to love doing, but they still felt uncomfortable and couldn't shake the feeling that something really was wrong. But despite that, they still had a confident look, somewhat happy that they're back. Finally, they arrived at the door of the office, only to hesitantly exchange looks, as if debating who would be daring enough to knock the door.

"Oh, screw this," Layla shook her head as she marched towards the door and opened the door, barging in with the rest of the Winx looking horrified at her daring nature. "Miss F, we're ba-" Her words were cut off as soon as her gaze shifted to six girls standing in front of the desk. "What the..."

"How rude," A girl bearing an uncanny resemblance to Stella but with dark blue hair and eyes sneered at the unwelcomed guests. "Ms. F, do you know these hideous and insolent peasants?"

"Excuse me?" Stella exclaimed, pushing past Layla to face the girl. How dare she call her a peasant and hideous one at that? "Who the hell do you think you are?!"

"You're the one barging in here like you own the place!"

"Stella/Serena..." Flora and another girl sighed at the same time, though they didn't notice. The other girl bore an uncanny resemblance to Flora, only with light blue hair and gray eyes.

"There she is again," Both Bloom and yet another girl said as they shook their heads, all at the same time. Unlike Flora and her doppelganger, however, they noticed and exchanged somewhat horrified looks. The girl looked exactly like Bloom, only with bluish hair and red eyes.

"Girls," Faragonda said after snapping out of it, after a few moment and realizing she was being ignored, Faragonda's brows furrowed. "Girls!" She said, a bit louder and sterner this time, and finally, the twelve girls in the room were silent, but Stella and the Serena girl still glared at each other. "Serena, I thought you knew better than to pick a fight with random people." Serena huffed and muttered something under her breath. Stella smirked at seeing the brat being reprimanded. "As for you..." She turned to Stella and the rest of the Winx. "Who might you girls be?" She asked in an unexpectedly soft voice.

"Wait, what?" Layla asked. Another girl who resembled Layla, but with silver hair and pinkish eyes scoffed, causing Layla to glare at the girl. "You're kidding, right? We're the Winx!"

Faragonda tilted her head in confusion. "I don't know any 'Winx' you speak of." She said, a bit sternly. The Winx's faces fell. "If this is just a prank, then I suggest you leave. I have important matters to discuss with the Minx Club."

"B-but-"

"You heard Miss Faragonda, we should go," Tecna, being the more clear-headed one, said slowly to her friends, opening the door. "We-we apologize, Miss Faragonda, we must have been mistaken."

"Right. Only dense people like you would make mistakes that illogical." Another girl scoffed. She looked exactly like Tecna, but with green hair and pinkish eyes.

Tecna scowled at the girl but said nothing as she lead her friends out the office before slowly closing the door. She then turned to her friends, who had looks of surprise and hurt. Bloom dramatically slid her back on the wall, "What just happened?"

"We've been replaced!" Stella panicked frantically, running around in circles while gripping her head. "It makes sense! People looking at us weirdly...the gloomy weather...the g- oH NO!"

"It's too soon to come to that conclusion," Tecna reasoned, "Maybe it's just some students Miss Faragonda is reprimanding."

"She was discussing a mission with the Minx." Stella argued, "They're called the Minx! Their name is obvious! It's just Winx with the W upside down, making it an M."

"Not to mention how they look a lot like us..." Flora observed.

"Sound a lot like us as well." Musa shrugged. "What does this mean?"

Before any of them could say any more theories of what might be happening, six certain Specialists appeared just around the corner of the hallways, the girls' hearts clenched. They hadn't changed a bit in a span of one year. Bloom was about get up from the ground after sliding down earlier but was stopped. "If the students here and even The Headmistress won't recognize us, surely the guys won't too," Tecna theorized.

"Act normal," Musa ordered, and the others obeyed, trying not to bat an eye at the men who held their hearts. Most of the guys passed by without incident or even a glance, well, except a certain blond Specialist who glanced at a certain redhead, only for a second, before walking off himself. The Winx watched as the so-called 'Minx' walking out, their faces lighting up at the sight of the Specialists, before being greeted by them rather affectionately. "So that's why they didn't pick us up at the station," She muttered.

"Okay, we've definitely been replaced," Stella concluded, "But why?! Who are they?! What's happening?!"

"We've been gone for one year, and now suddenly no one remembers us and knows the 'Minx Club' instead..." Bloom muttered, "I smell a spell."

"Who could have done it?" Layla wondered.

They all looked at each other with knowing faces. "The Trix."

A/N: Chapter one, considering it done! This first chapter is twice as long as the its previous version but tbh I prefer this, I hope you do too!
