Author's note: Before I continue with the story, here are a couple of things you should be aware of:

It is based on of Winx Club comics Issue 13: Moonlight. I highly recommend you read it for reference before you read the fan-fiction if you haven't done so.

I was inspired by Floral Thunder's Foolish; Keep up with the great fanfic.

This is set during season five. The Winx girls already have their Harmonix, not yet Sirenix.

Because of the time-frame of the fanfic, it may not link up with the series of events in Winx Club: Beyond Believix.

Because of the Comic reference, this is a Flora+Helia fan-fiction.

This is a Halloween theme fan-fiction.

Disclaimer: I do not own Winx club, Winx club comics or any of the characters within the fan-fiction. This fanfic and the chapters within it are with the respects of the creators of the series and all characters within the fanfic belong to the creators.

Enjoy!


Inside the depths of Magix's forest, a small bank existed within the massive woodland. Containing the rabbits, snakes and other various creatures that lived there were three young women. For some time, they used the dwelling as a base-of-operations as well as some form of shelter. These young women were better known as the Trix; a sinister team of females that unsuccessfully attempted to take over the universe up to three times. Other than going after the Winx or finding more pollutants for their new master, Tirtannus, they spent their days at the bank waiting for his commands. A distance from the area were two out of the three Trix, Stormy and Darcy. Darcy combed her hair with her fingers while Stormy zapped away at ill-fated bugs. Darcy rolled her eyes when she observed Stormy's excitement, "Wow Stormy, that's mature."

"Shut up," The Storm Witch fired at Darcy. She was concentrating on scorching a green caterpillar to a crisp with one thunder bolt. When her job was successful she jumped, "Got it!"

"Yay, now you can eat it!" Darcy smugly said. Stormy glared at her. "By the way, where's Icy?"

Stormy shrugged her shoulders. She obviously didn't know where her eldest sister was and now she didn't care. She paid more attention to found a new target, a white butterfly. "Find her yourself! I'm not your maid!"

Darcy sucked her teeth. She left Stormy and strolled back to the headquarters. She paused halfway when she saw Icy leaning over the water muttering something and giggling. Behind Icy's muttering, she also heard Tritannus's voice. What a loser, Darcy believed when she scrutinized Icy's lovey-dovey face from afar.

Stormy returned to the bank after her best efforts to exterminate the agile butterfly failed. She stood next to Darcy, "What are you looking at?" She whispered directly in Darcy's ear.

Darcy jumped. Other than her tickle problem, she also got shaken up occasionally from people sneaking up on her. Well, not as bad as Stormy, "Are you blind? Icy, of course," She whispered back.

Stormy could never fathom just how Icy could be attracted to Tritannus. In his normal form, his appearance was pretty decent except the merman tail. When he became monster Tritannus, Stormy thought of methods to cook the horrid fish, maybe in sushi or stir fried form. Another thought that on her mind was that how come Icy and Darcy had a love interest. They all shared Valtor and Darkar, but Darcy had lame Riven for a while and now Icy has Tritannus. "That's strange." She thought out loud. "How come you and Icy had a 'boyfriend' and I never got one!?"

"Stormy," Darcy's tone was both gentle and sarcastic, "it's because you're ugly."

Stormy snatched at her Darcy's blond hairs, "Says the one with the fairy hairdo."

"OH STOP!" Icy said, but not to her sisters. She was still chitchatting to Tritannus on the other end. "You're so adorable!"

"YOU'RE SO ADORABLE!" Darcy and Stormy bawled in unison.

Icy looked up at her sisters in fury and embarrassment, "Privacy, much!?"

"We're bored." Stormy marched over to the lake to speak to Tritannus. "I need some action! Let's do something!"

"Tannus told us to wait it out, moron," Darcy and Stormy stood surprised at their sister's pet name for their new master. Icy continued,"we can't do anything until we are told."

Darcy crossed her arms, "Can we see what those losers are doing?" By "losers", Darcy meant the Winx. Since the Trix's taste of the Winx Harmonix powers, Tritannus ordered them to stay put and to wait for his command. Darcy's hands filled with obscure energy before she casted the power in the lake near the message reflection of Tritannus. "It doesn't hurt to at least find out what they're up to." She sinisterly added.


The Winx were on a roll. Since they acquired their Harmonix abilities, they were more adept to battle against the Trix and able to stop the harsh pollutions that destroy the ocean wildlife. Of course they needed their Sirenix and still had to complete the trials of Sirenix, but for several reasons they decided to take a side mission. Tecna and Timmy had set up tracking devices over on Earth and Magix so the Winx would always be ready for an environmental distress. Tecna checked over her PDA, "Okay; so far no problems connected to pollutions." Tecna placed the PDA cautiously in her knapsack. "Maybe we can get this side mission finished early before the Trix and Tritannus start anymore trouble and fast so we can get back to the Sirenix trails.

The Winx really needed to take a break. With Sky's memory loss, Flora's worry about Helia, Tecna's memories on her cyborg curse and the underwater dilemmas, the Winx were stressed more than they had even been. The side mission chosen by Flora correlated with her situation with Helia, but she had good intentions: she wanted to repay a good friend from the past. After finding herself more adept and strong to fight, she gave the idea to aid Karel* from his moonlight curse to her friends. Flora, Bloom, Timmy, Sky and Tecna met him years ago in a nearly barricaded home close to Crystal Lake. After running away from vivacious wolves and taking refuge at his home, she used a liquefied moonlight as a light source in his dark home and unknowingly changed him into a werewolf.

The Winx girls got back to Alfea after their current underwater adventure. With the Specialists on call and spells & potions ready, the Winx were prepared for the mission; but more than anyone was Flora. During the Winx second attempt to find the Sirenix book, a heavy book that fell on Flora during Tecna's cyborg control got her attention, "The Moonlit Revise." Inside were told the stories about creatures that were controlled by the Full moon, more specifically Werewolves. She had looked for a book that could probably break or control his curse in the past, but she was not initially surprised that she would find it in the Alfea Archives instead of the Aflea General Library. When it came time to the side-mission of choice, she brought up an old quest and a test of the Harmonix magic to the Winx.

The girls got their last belongings and supplies packed. Stella made sure the girls were fashionably ready for the side-mission. With a quick spell, the girls' outfits changed to more appropriate hiking clothing with their personal color scheme. With the Winx, the Specialists with the exception of Sky were present for the trip. Aisha slicked her wavy hair into a long high ponytail, "So how did you guys know about this Karel guy?" She said to her best friend.

"I knew him years ago, "Flora answered, "He protected me in the past and I want to return the favor."

A couple of feet away from Flora was Helia. Since Sky's memory loss, Flora hadn't seen her boyfriend. Sure, the Sirenix powers were her top priority, but she had to see Helia sometimes too. With the Krystal situation, she recalled Helia calling Flora his "friend" instead of "girlfriend"**. Flora had no reason to be mad a Krystal, nor be mad that Helia and Krystal knew each other since their childhood, but being demoted from her status made her less confident about their relationship. Helia was drawing on his sketchbook when Flora glanced over at him. I wonder what he's drawing... Flora thought.

Stella tapped Bloom on her shoulder, "So where's Sky? Don't tell me he's with the Ick?"

"I decided... he should learn more about his childhood with Diaspro." Stella's eyes widen at Bloom's response. "I don't trust Diaspro, but I know Sky doesn't have any feelings for her. I trust him...and I know he wouldn't do anything like that."

The Nature fairy was surprised for Bloom's response. Maybe...I should trust Helia. Flora gently smiled.

"Okay, the last configurations on the machine are ready. We can board as soon as your guy are ready." The Winx girls started directly at Timmy. "Is there something wrong?"

"We can teleport there," Musa said. "It's better for the environment. Remember when were when there before? We can get directly to the forest without making a pit-stop at Darkstone village.***"

Timmy looked dumbfounded. "I forgot…" He glanced at the Red Fountain hovercraft. "It's a shame we can't use the Owl and with the new updates I made…"

"Let's try for once to be more environmentally adapt, Timmy," Tecna smiled weakly at her boyfriend. "The only tech on me is my PDA and we need it for the pollution reports."

"Tech is your passion, Tecna!" Stella meddled. "Hello? 'Fairy of technology?' You can't abandon that."

Tecna gave Stella a death-glare. Stella was right; Tecna was everything tech. She slept and breathed it, but ever since her robotic curse incident Tecna started to pull away from her beloved gadgets. Unfortunately, she started to pull away from Timmy. Stella flinched at Tecna's glare. "Stella," Tecna stated, "let's just get ready…"

The Winx and Specialists got in a circle. They locked into each other hands and with a strong frequency of magic created a barrier and teleported from the grounds of Alfea. Flora took a last glance on Aflea grounds at a Helia who was looking elsewhere with a smile as the Winx and Specialists were locked in focus. Flora frowned when she saw Helia glancing over at a happy and waving Krystal, giving luck to him on the mission.


*: Karel was the male character introduced in Winx Comics volume 16. He lived in the woodlands not too far from Crystal Lake by himself. Flora accidentally changed him into a Werewolf after she exposed him to purified moonlight water.

**: In season five episode three, Return to Alfea, Helia introduces Flora as his "Friend" instead of "Girlfriend" to Krystal

***: In the Winx Club comic volume 13, the pollution from the Hovership/Carrier that the Specialists used could contaminate the water and life surrounding Crystal Lake. Since the girls were shown teleporting to Earth in the episode "The Lilo" and teleporting seem to be more often used within season five instead of using machines, it seems probable to use a teleporting method instead of the hover-vehicle.
