Once upon a time there lived a beautiful girl named Flora who was one of the most gentle and kind hearted girl throughout the kingdom of Linphea. But she had lost her mother to an illness at a very young age, and then her father soon remarried to a woman with two daughters of her own a few years later so her daughter Flora had a mother and now two sisters to love and care for. Unfortunately Flora's father had died in a carriage accident. Once her father died that is when Flora's step-mother and step-sisters showed their true colors to her. They took all of Flora's nice clothes and kicked her out of her room, then forcing her to where rages and making her a servant for them. To this day she was forced to do the cleaning the cooking and all the hard labor while her step- family did nothing will he wishes and dreams come true. Well they are about to on that faithful day in the market place.

Everyone was in the market place buying food, clothes, and other stuff while the children would watch puppet shows and play in the streets. Griffon was walking ahead of her two wonderful daughters as they were off shopping. "Come along girls." She said as she looked back a little and kept on walking.

"Hurry up." Stormy said as she looked back at her sister.

"Move it." Icy said as she looked back to Flora who was straggling behind trying to keep up while caring their packages. They all soon stopped in front of a hat shop and both Stormy and Icy had their eyes on a weird looking hat. Stormy snatched it before Icy could grab it and put it on. "What do you think mother?"

"Uh certainly not something you see every day." Griffon said to her daughter as Icy snatched it from Stormy.

"I saw it first how does it look on me mother." Icy said as storm did a gaging sound.

"Awful." Icy glared at stormy and was about ready to do a freeze spell on her.

"I didn't ask you Stormy." Griffon knew a fight was going to break but she was also not going to be the one to pick for she did not like to play favorites.

"How can a mother pick between two extraordinary daughters." Griffon said as she turned and made her way in the store. Flora was watching the puppet show and didn't know a commotion happen between her step-sisters over a hat.

"Flora…..Flora!" Icy yelled getting her attention which it did for Flora looked at them. "What do you think does it look better on me?" Icy asked and Stormy took it off her head and put it on her.

"Or me?" Stormy said and Flora looked at them.

"Well I don't know much about hats but I don't think it flatters either one of you." Flora said giving her opinion. Both of the witches gasped at their stupid step-sister of a fairy.

"What did you ask her for?" Stormy said mad and ready to punch her.

"She doesn't know anything about hats she said so herself." Icy said and took the opportunity to take the hat and run off to pay for it first. And both the girls fought and went in the store crying for their mother.

Flora turned her attention back to the puppet show at the part where the prince puppet found his princess and was asking her to marry him. How Flora wished there was someone out there to take her away from the life that she was living now. After awhile her Step-mother and Step-sisters came out of the store yelling her name and giving her the new bags to carry. They started walking ahead of her again while she tried to balance the stuff.

"Have you ever seen such a lazy girl in your life?" Stormy said and Icy though she was talking about her.

"Who you calling Lazy Stormy?" Icy said as she fixed her hat for the two come to a compromise after taking the hat apart to create two different kinds of hats.

"Not you stupid Flora." Stormy said as Icy smiled but then realized her sister just called her stupid.

"Who you calling stupid?" Icy said and the girls continued to argue and shop with their mother and have Flora in tow.

As Flora was following her Step- Mother and Sisters Prince Helia was disguised as a commoner wondering around the market place loving how free it was and peaceful. But he also loved the fact that no one was treating him like a prince, just a normal everyday person wondering around the market place. After awhile he saw Flora walking carrying stuff but then have the royal carriage got in her path and didn't bother to stop. Once Flora saw the carriage coming she quickly dropped the stuff while moving back and watched the horses and carriage trample over it. Once Helia saw what happen he quickly ran over to offer his assistance.

"Here let me help you miss." He said as he bent down and helped Flora picking up her things and sort of looking in the direction where the carriage went. "Just like those royals not caring that there is anyone in their path." He said as he handed her a hat.

"I am sure they have some where to be in such a hurry." She said and both of the laugh and looked at each for the first time and Helia became lost in her emerald eyes as they both stood up.

"Well thank you for your help." Flora said as she turned and started to walk away but Helia wanted to get to know her more.

"Uh wait a minute what is your name?" Helia asked and watched Flora stopped and turned around to answer him.

"My name is Flora I love flowers and grew up around them." Flora explained and Helia smiled at her.

"Flora that is a beautiful name, it suits you very well." Helia said and Flora blush a little when he said and said excuse me before she started walking again but Helia followed her asking her more questions.

"Tell me Flora what does a man have to do to get in your good graces." Helia said as he continued to follow Flora around.

"Who wants to know?" Flora asked getting nervous around him now a little.

"Let's just say a charming stranger." He said with a small smile.

"This stranger seems so sure of himself he would have to get to know me a lot better." She explained and Helia got in front of her walking backward.

"Oh but he would very much like to." He said before running into a flower cart and almost knocking it over and Flora got a little scared and continued walking.

"I don't know if I want to meet this stranger I doubt he has any idea how a girl should be treated."Flora said as she walked and Helia quickly caught up to her to talk to Flora more.

"Like a princess of course." Helia said so sure of himself that he was right and Flora stopped to face him.

"No like a person with kindness and respect." Flora said and Helia was shocked at that.

"You're not like the other girls." He said and Flora looked at him confused and asked him what does he mean and Helia couldn't really answer but was sorry.

"It's alright I lived a pretty sheltered life." Flora said and Helia couldn't help but smile and told her that he had also lived a sheltered life and talked about how they did the same old routine that made them just want to run away and never come back. Helia was really starting to like Flora a lot but unfortunately their time came to an end for Flora's step-mother appeared.

"I thought I told you not to talk to strangers Flora." Griffon said with a stern and angry face scaring Flora as she quickly made her way over apologizing to her.

"I hope to see you again Flora." Helia smiled as he walked away and Flora watched him leave and realizing she had never got his name. But she was soon snapped out of her trance when her Griffon yelled at her.

"Oh look at you and with those packaged too they look like they were ran over by a carriage are you really that incompetent." Griffon said as her two daughters snickered at how Flora was being scold by their mother. Soon they all started walking again back to their carriage but before Flora started walking she looked back one more time to watch Helia walk even further away.

"I wish I could have asked for his name maybe if I see him next time I will ask for it." Flora said as she kept staring but her step-mother soon yelled for her and Flora started to run to catch up taking one last glance back at Helia before making her way to her family.

Helia walked to the carriage that ran over Flora's packages and he looked back to see Flora running off with her Step- Mother before he got into the carriage and soon made his way back to the place where his mother and father were calling for him.


Very First Winxs Story

I have seen a lot of Flora and Helia sleeping beauty and maybe on beauty and the beast one but I thought a Cinderella story version would be cool.

Note this is not a Walt Disney Cinderella version I got the story Idea from Rodgers and Hammerstien's Cinderella story I thought it would fit this a lot better I hope you all like it.

I don't own the Winx Club characters

So please Read and Review.
