Summer vacation was finally over, and it was time for four young, beautiful girls by the names of Serena, Crystal, Ivy, and Kristy to embark on their lives as high school students.

All the girls could think about was making certain they became popular, met hot upper-class guys, and most of all making sure their friendships would last forever.

Also, that their high school life didn’t turn into anything like the movie Mean Girls. Everyone knows the main message of the movie was “watch who you call your friends.” They may try to fatten you up by telling you those bars help with weight loss when really they’re making you look like a whale. Nevertheless, Serena and her besties are as close, if not, even closer than the fictional characters, the Bratz.

Serena and her girls were also just as stylish as the fairytale Winx Club girls. Therefore, they had nothing to worry about because if they stayed together; they knew they were going to survive the four years of what some people refer to as the halls of torture. But they never thought that something unimaginable was going to happen and it would change their lives forever.

Meanwhile, in a deep, dark dimension far away from Earth, another planet resided. This undocumented planet was identified as the Dark Planet, and it was occupied with malevolent forces. Countless individuals believed it was only a fable, but it was real. The Dark Planet was brimming with evil sorcerers, cold-hearted witches, ogres, and just any type of bloodthirsty monster imaginable.

At that moment, it was being ruled by King Darwin accompanied by four young witches, who called themselves the Vortex. The four witches went by the names of Ices, Jewels, Storm, and Zoe. Ices and her best witches’ main objective in life was to take over the entire universe. They strived to bring an end to the light while bossing around their two nitwits, Zoe’s boyfriend, Mectrics, and his best buddy: a smelly, green ogre named Bruce. King Darwin and his assistants were currently going over phase one of taking over the universe while Serena and her girls were getting ready to attend their first day of high school.

#APlaceWithOnlyDarkness

“Witches!” shouted a man hidden in the darkness.

“Yes, Your Darkness, you hollered?” asked the four young witches in unison.

“I’ve located a substantial amount of positive energy on the planet called Earth, and I’m trusting you four to find out where it's coming from.”

“Um what about us?” said the blond, spiky-haired rocker warlock.

“Yeah! What about us?” repeated the large, green ogre.

The witches and man ignored them as he commenced.

“Anyway, back to what I was saying. It’s time for you all to go extract every ounce of those worthless humans’ life energy for us to take over this pitiful universe.”

“Well ladies, it looks like it’s time for us to go wreak some havoc,” said the ice witch as she grinned.

“And yet we’re ignored again,” said the young warlock; as he exhaled.

#OfficiallyFreshmen

Back on Earth, Serena and her besties finally made it onto their high school campus. The first thing they spotted were all the flaming fresh high school boys. Well, everyone except Ivy. No Ivy isn’t on the other side of the field; she likes guys too, but she was not about to squander her time drooling over them. She was raised education first, boys second.

“OMG! Can you believe this?” said Crystal, as she took off her designer shades and placed them inside her Michael Kors purse to get a better look at the male eye candy.

“I know it’s unbelievable,” said Serena.

“I know what you mean, yummy,” said Kristy.

“That we’re only freshmen and we have a ton of work to do already?” asked Ivy.

“UH! No Vee, high school boys!” said Serena, Crystal, and Kristy, as they continued to bat their eyes and gaze at the boys.

Eventually, a boy with brown, swayed haired walked over to them.

“Well, excuse me! How are you beautiful ladies doing, besides drooling over the eye candy that isn’t me?” said the boy.

“Wait, I know that voice! Josh!” Crystal squealed.

“Correct,” said Josh, as he smiled.

“OMG, I missed you!”

“Yeah! After you graduated, Crystal had no one to walk her from her locker to class or hold her books,” Serena said jokingly and everyone laughed.

“Ha-ha! My-”

“Hey, look Serena! Is that Max by the water fountain drooling over the girl with the big boobs?” said Kristy.

“Oh yeah it is! Hey! That’s not funny, Kristy,” said Serena, as she folded her arms.

“Well, what are you waiting for? Get over there,” retorted Ivy.

“No, what if he doesn’t remember me?” whispered Serena.

“Hmm! Watch this! Oh Max! Darling, over here!” shouted Crystal at the top of her lungs.

“Ugh! Stop! You’re embarrassing us!” shouted Serena.

“You should be thanking me for getting your man away from Miss Rack City; I doubt she’s even a natural blonde.”

“Crystal, stop being messy.”

“Fine! I’m on to much bigger and better things like your future husband heading this way.”

Thanks to Crystal’s boisterous voice, Max heard her and started walking towards them. Serena’s heart started racing; she had no idea what she was going to say to him. The only thing on her mind besides, “Who was that hussy he was talking to at the water fountain, and since when did he get that hot?” The Max she remembered that graduated a year before her from Artists Academy Middle School did not look as handsome, muscle-toned, or tall. Even his haircut was sharp. Imagine a shiny black top, with the sides buzzed and a line in-between to separate the thickness and length of each part of the hair. Max shortly approached the girls and his best homeboy Josh. He then greeted everyone, but he couldn’t help but notice the radiance Serena was giving off.

“Hey ladies… wow; Serena, you look incredible,” said Max.

“Due to the fact, her boobs got…” Serena forcefully bumped into Crystal before she could finish her statement.

All everyone heard was, “BAM!” as Crystal slammed onto the ground.

“Ugh,” she groaned. “I’m okay! Sheesh,” said Crystal.

Meanwhile, as Josh helped Crystal off the floor, Serena and Max turned back towards each other and the two simply gazed into each other’s eyes. Suddenly, before Max or Serena could get another word out, the bell rang.

“Well, that’s the bell. It is time to get to class; do you girls need some help in finding your first-period class?” Max asked Serena.

“Oh, no thanks. I’m sure we’ll find our first period on time,” said Serena, as she smiled at Max.

“Okay, see you later,” said Max, as he walked away with Josh.

“Okay, so Kristy and I have gym this period. So, I guess we’ll see you two after class,” said Ivy.

“Well, it looks like we have biology,” said Serena as she looked at her schedule.

#1stPeriod #WhyUs!

“I have a feeling I’m not going to enjoy this class,” Crystal cried.

“I just don’t want to dissect anything,” said Serena.

“Well, that’s a shame. I’d love to see the inside of a frog, wouldn’t you?” said a guy with light-blue Elvis hair.

“EWWWW! NO! Wait, Roux!” shouted Serena and Crystal.

“The one and only ladies,” he said, as he laughed.

“And wait, isn’t this a freshmen class? Why are you in here?” asked Crystal.

“Aww! Did you not pass?” Serena said sarcastically.

“It’s a freshmen and sophomore class, actually,” said Roux.

“Oh, sorry my bad,” Serena apologized.

“Anyway, where are Kristy and Ivy?”

“They said they had gym this period,” said Crystal.

#MeanwhileOutsideInGymClass

“Alright, listen up maggots!” yelled Coach Matthews.

“Did he just call us maggots?” said Ivy.

“Yeah, he did,” said a tall guy with orange hair.

“Brock! How have you been? I-I mean we missed you!” asked Ivy.

“Wow, he lost the baby fat and got taller,” said Kristy.

“Kristy why don’t you stop with the jokes and go find Roux? You know you miss him,” Brock suggested.

“Excuse you! Didn’t I say please be quiet? Especially you, Brock. You wouldn’t want to fail P.E. and take it next year as a junior.” Coach Matthews warned.

“No sir,” said Brock, as he sighed.

“And ladies, love the nails!”

“Aww! Thank you,” said Ivy, as she smiled.

“Yeah, our girl Crystal, also known as Miss Fashionista, did them for us,” said Kristy.

“Well, get ready because they’re going to be breaking every day.” Coach Matthews laughed as he walked away.

“Ugh! How rude,” said Ivy and Kristy, as they pouted.

#NutritionTime

First-period had just ended, and it was time for nutrition. However, getting something to eat was the farthest from Serena, Crystal, and Roux's mind. For their first day of class their teacher Mr. Pentium had them watch a thirty-five-minute video on dissecting dead things. The video was so vomiticious that it caused their stomachs to turn. The word vomiticious is used to describe something that makes you want to puke. One student bolted out of the classroom because he had to throw up.

“Uh, that video was disgusting,” said Crystal as she held her stomach.

“I didn’t even think that was possible,” Serena said.

“On second thought, I’ve change my mind on the dissecting part,” said Roux.

“Hopefully Kay and Vee had a better first-period class than us,” said Crystal.

“Speaking off our besties, they’re right on time,” said Serena as she spotted them walking their way.

“What happened to you guys? You look like you’ve seen a ghost! Oh hey, Roux,” said Kristy as she smiled.

“Hey Kristy, I missed you a little.”

“Uh, whatever, but like girls what happened?”

“We watched this video and let’s just say it was disturbing beyond all reasons,” said Serena.

“More importantly, what happened to you girls’ hair and makeup?” Crystal asked.

“The coach made us run laps on the first day,” said Ivy.

“Outrageous, I would have walked!” shouted Crystal as she stomped.

“They were, until the coach let out some roaches,” said Brock.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

“Roaches!” Serena and Crystal yelled.

“Ugh, I still got chills! They are the ones that he claims he got from the freak show circus,” said Josh.

“Trained or not, that should be against school policy to bring in a bunch of roaches,” said Serena, as she quivered.

“Hey, you all look a mess. What happened to you?” Max asked as he approached the group.

“You remember Coach Matthews’ method of getting the class to run the marathons?” Brock asked Max.

“Ugh, don’t remind me! I’m surprised no one has reported him. Something isn’t right about that man.”

“A roach!” screamed a girl in the hallway.

“AHHHHHHH!” everyone screamed and ran through the hallways.

#NutritionIsCanceledDoToRoaches #TheEvildoersAreBack

As the teens scurried to their next class the Vortex, and the nitwits had just landed on Earth. The evildoers were in town looking for a way to cause some chaos. They needed to come up with a plan quickly to absorb the humans’ energy while not drawing attention to them.

“So, this is Planet Earth,” said Zoe.

“It seems boring,” said Storm, as she glanced at the non-magical beings.

“Ladies, stay focused! We’re not here as a bunch of tourists. We’re here for the mission. So, shut up and start thinking of a plan,” said Ices.

“Hey, what happened to the two nitwits? I thought they were behind us.” Jewels said as she noticed Bruce and Mectrics were no longer standing behind her.

“Looks like the two birdbrains are in that store! Why am I not surprised?” said Storm, as she shook her head.

“I swear Zoe if your boyfriend and his putrid friend blow our cover, I’m going to turn them into a couple of ice sculptures and crush them into tiny pieces.” Ices said as she glared at Zoe who then took a step back.

“Yeah Zoe, we do not know how long that humanization spell is going to last on Bruce before he turns into his hideous ogre self again. So, hurry up and get over there,” whispered Storm.

“OK, OK! I’m going.” Zoe said, as she quickly walked over to the nitwits.

“What are you two doing? Mec, you do know if we were not dating my girls would have turned you, and Bruce into snake food years ago?”

“Don’t worry, babe. We were just thirsty. They’re giving out free smoothies for their grand opening,” explained Mectrics.

“Hmm, grand opening you say? I have a wicked idea,” said Zoe, as she grinned.

Zoe waved and alerted her best witches to meet them inside of the store. She then explained to her girls that today was the Fruitlicious Smoothies store’s grand opening.

Every time there’s a grand opening for anything, usually a bunch of people show up. Now they just needed to start moving the first piece of their puzzle. By luck they spotted the manager. What better way to take over a franchise than getting rid of the manager first? The witches and the nitwits began walking towards him.

“Why, hello there. You must be the manager?” asked Ices.

“Why yes I am! Can I offer you four lovely young ladies a delicious thirst-quenching smoothie?”

“Oh, no thanks. We’re here for employment purposes.”

“Excellent! Let me just go get you all some applications.”

“That won’t be necessary.”

The Vortex began laughing.

“What’s so funny?” asked the manager.

“You’ll see,” said Zoe.

Everyone screamed as a vast explosion of dark energy transpired in the store. Ices and her girls were now in charge of the grand opening and ready for their next batch of victims. The manager and his employees’ life energy were diminished. Due to this, they became zombified and adhered to every command the witches gave them. They were ordered to make a bunch of smoothies to feed the rest of the customers that arrived; so, when they drink the smoothies they can suffer the same fate.

After school, it was boiling up, so the girls and their guy friends decided to check out the new smoothie place at the strip mall called Fruitlicious Smoothies. They piled into Roux’s truck. However, when Roux and his friends finally reached the strip, they noticed no one was outside. The strip mall turned out to be nothing but a ghost town. Not even the other stores on the strip mall were open. A bunch of cars were parked outside and the sign on each store read open; yet there was no one there. Regardless, the teens decided to get out of the car and see what was going on.

“Hey, I thought the grand opening was today?” asked Crystal.

“Yeah, maybe it was canceled,” Josh said while looking around at the empty strip mall.

“No, I don’t think so; something’s telling me we should go inside Fruitlicious Smoothies and see what’s going on,” said Serena.

“Me too! It’s like I’m getting a strange vibe,” said Ivy, as she agreed.

“Well, let’s go inside,” said Roux.

#MeanwhileAlreadyInsideTheStore

“Hush ladies! I am sensing we have visitors,” said Ices.

“Wait! Do you guys feel that?” asked Bruce and Mectrics.

“Fairy magic!” shouted the Vortex.

“Looks like our cover has been blown.” Storm pouted.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. We’ll ambush them when they walk through the door,” said Ices.

#ItsAboutToGoDown

“Umm, hey! Is anyone in here?” Serena asked.

“Yeah, the sign said open, but I guess that was a mistake,” said Crystal.

“Yeah, let’s get out of here. Something just doesn’t seem right,” Kristy said.

Suddenly, the door flew shut behind the curious teens and the lights went out. Then, the grunts and moaning sounds began. They sounded like the type of grunts and moans that zombies would make during a zombie apocalypse. It was like something out of The Walking Dead.

“Whoever’s doing all this, cut it out! It isn’t funny!” Serena shouted.

“Ugh! I can’t see anything. It is too dark. Luckily, I always keep my favorite pink mini lipstick on me.” Crystal smiled, as she unzipped her purse to pull out her lipstick.

“Really, Crystal? Pink lipstick!” Josh stated, as he shook his head.

“Hush! It isn’t just a lipstick; it’s also a mini flashlight. Now to see who’s playing the joke on us. Oh my stilettoes!” Crystal gasped, as she used her pink mini lipstick-flashlight to spot the noise makers.

“AHHHHHHHH! Zombies!” everyone screamed.

“Wait, zombies aren’t real!” exclaimed Serena.

“Maybe it’s just a joke.” Ivy said with hope.

“I don’t think so. They don’t make that kind of makeup in Hollywood!” said Crystal.

“Well, do you want to stick around and find out!” Max yelled.

“No!” exclaimed Max’s friends in agreement that it was time to leave the smoothie shop.

“Okay then! Let’s get out of here!”

“Uh-oh! The door is stuck!” Brock shouted as he kept jerking the handle.

“What are we going to do? They’re getting closer!” Crystal cried.

“No, stop!” shouted Kristy.

Instantly, the zombified humans stopped. As the zombies drew nearer, it was like time itself had heard Kristy’s scream for help.

“Kristy, how did you do that?” Roux asked.

“I don’t know, but I doubt whatever I did is going to last long!”

“Ha-ha! Where do you fairies and pretty boy toys think you’re going?” Storm asked.

“Yeah, they were only the opening act,” said Jewels.

“Time for the showstopper, ladies,” said Ices, as she grinned.

“Fairies? What in the world are you lunatics talking about?” asked Serena.

“We’re not loony! We’re the Vortex!” Ices shouted.

“Ices, time to show these losers what’s up,” said Storm.

Ices, while wearing her crown that is made of ice and her snowflake diamond earrings, stated “But of course. HECTIC ICE SPIRALS!” as she attacked!

“Duck!” yelled Max as him and his friends dodged the attack.

“Your turn Storm!”

“HUH! TORNADO!” yelled Storm; the witch with poofy, curly pink and black hair.

“AHHHHHHHH!” screamed Serena and her friends, as they tried to take shelter under a table.

“Hey, she blew the door down. Let’s get going!” yelled Crystal.

Jewels, with her patented necklace that had the letter “J” on it, exclaimed “How rude! We weren’t finished introducing ourselves!”

“Don’t worry Jewels, I’ve got this! HUH! FIREBALLS!” shouted Zoe; the witch with full neon green hair.

“Watch out!” yelled Max, as he and friends barely avoided the flames.

“Hey Zoe, be careful. I wouldn’t want you to burn them to death without me getting a chance to blast them,” said Jewels.

“Hey, what about us!” shouted Mectrics and Bruce.

“STATIC SHOCK!” Mectrics attacked.

“EARTHQUAKE SMASH! And enough with this disguise!” Bruce had reverted into his true form.

“Ugh! Whoever you are, I’ve had enough playing Dodge Spell Attacks with you creeps. We aren’t about to let you destroy our planet!” shouted Serena.

“Ha, you’ve got some spunk for a fairy. Too bad spunk isn’t enough to defeat me. ICE SHARDS!” yelled Ices.

“Serena! No!” screamed Max.

Max pushed Serena out of the way of Ices’ Ice Shards attack. But the razor-sharp shards were about to strike Max and there wasn't anything his companions could do to save him. Suddenly, a mysterious figure in a white cloak appeared in front of Max. She used her powers to force Ices’ attack back at her.

“What the? AHHHHHHHH!” Ices screamed, as her attack backfired.

“Who is that!” Storm shouted.

“BLIND US!” screeched the unknown woman.

“AHHHHHHH! My eyes!” the villains all yelled together.

Ices and her crew were temporarily blinded by the unknown woman.

“Hey, thanks for the save. By the way, love your cloak!” Crystal squealed.

“Yeah thanks, but who are you?” Serena asked.

“No time to explain! You four girls need to hurry up, take these rings, and shout fairy power transform,” said the woman in the cloak.

“Can I get the ring in a different color? It doesn’t go with my outfit.” Crystal asked, with an unsatisfied look on her face.

“Crystal!” her friends yelled.

“Well, dang. Never mind, sheesh.”

“FAIRY POWER TRANSFORM!” Serena and her girls shouted.

In a blink of an eye and a shimmer of bright light, Serena, Crystal, Ivy, and Kristy transformed into fairies.

Serena became the Fairy of Hearts. She was dressed in a beautiful sparkling turquoise outfit. She wore pink heart-shaped diamond earrings, a beautiful turquoise tiara with a heart diamond in the middle; which rested upon her luscious light-brown hair, and a matching choker. Her wings were pink and had white hearts on them.

Crystal was the Fairy of Sunlight and was dressed in a stunning yellow-gold outfit. She had shimmering blonde hair. Her golden-yellow tiara had a sun diamond in the middle. She too had a pair of sun-shaped yellow and orange earrings with a choker to match. Her wings were made of fire but fortunately the fire was contained inside each wing.

Ivy was the Fairy of Nature and her color scheme was of a delicate red rose. Her wings were made of deep green vines with a pinkish red hue on the inside. Her tiara was dark green with a red rose diamond in the middle, which rested on her beautiful and flowing dark-brown hair.

Kristy was the Fairy of Time and she wore faded light-green; if it were any lighter, it’d have been white as snow. She had circular titanium wings and her earrings were spherical and resembled clocks. She had beautiful red hair as if she were a Little Mermaid instead of a fairy; with a matching tiara and choker sitting upon her fiery red hair, resembling the meaning of time. The diamond in the middle of her tiara was a glistening silver with numbers engraved on it.

The guys were astonished at the girls’ transformations. They were gorgeous, had butterfly-like wings, but they were also powerful and ready to defend themselves. Well, they had no choice since the mysterious woman who had helped them before had decided to disappear.

#LetsGetReadyToRumble

“OMG! Girls you look amazing!” Crystal squealed.

“Cee just wait until you look at yourself in a mirror girl!” said Kristy.

“And I’m loving my eco-friendly wings,” said Ivy.

“Okay girls, yes we look amazing, but we need to get ready to defend ourselves,” Serena reminded.

“Finally, that spell wore off,” Jewels said, as her eyesight came back.

“Ugh! I don’t know who these losers think they are; pulling some kind of trick on us!” yelled Ices.

“Hey witchy pooh! I see you finally thawed out,” Serena said, beaming.

“Girls, why don’t we test out our powers?” Kristy said.

“Umm, what powers? We don’t know any spells!” Crystal said.

“But we do! THUNDER BLAST!” shouted Storm.

“THORN ROSE BARRIER!” Ivy shouted.

“Nice work, Ivy,” Brock cheered.

“Thanks! I honestly didn’t think that was going to work.”

“Let’s see if your barrier can stop my thunder. CHAOTIC VOLT!” shouted Mectrics.

“TIME REVERSE!” yelled Kristy.

“Oh no! AHHHHHHHH!” yelled Mectrics, as he was blasted through the roof of the store.

“Nice work girl,” Ivy said.

“I figured if I could stop time for a few seconds, I should be able to reverse time.” Kristy started laughing.

“Ugh! I’m going to crush you pipsqueaks!” yelled Bruce, as he charged.

“I hope this works! IVY WRAP!”

Bruce became enwrapped in Ivy’s vines.

“Let me go!” shouted Bruce.

“Okay and TOSS! Bye ugly!”

On Ivy’s command the vines launched Bruce out the store.

“CHAOTIC DARKNESS!” shouted Jewels.

“IRIDESCENT LIGHT!” yelled Crystal.

“What the? AHHHHHHHH!” screamed Jewels, as she was blasted out of the store’s window.

“Nice job, Cee. That attack blew that witch out of here and knocked out the zombies. Though I think those are just regular humans under a spell,” said Serena.

“Ooh, you’re a smart one. You must be the leader. Well then, bring it on fairy. Let’s see if you can handle my power,” Ices said chuckling.

“Don’t worry we’ll take her on together, Rena!” replied Crystal.

“I don’t think so. FIRE BURN!” shouted Zoe.

“Crystal watch out!” yelled Josh.

“AHHHHHHHH!” screamed Crystal, as she hit the ground.

“Ugh, I’m okay. Serena, look out!”

“ICE HURRICANE!” shouted Ices and Storm.

“FIRE HEART SHIELD!” yelled Serena as she blocked the attack.

“You’re tougher than I thought. This is going to be fun,” said Ices.

“Stop! Return to me!” commanded the voice of a man.

“But why? We were about to demolish them,” complained Ices.

“Do not question me!”

“Whatever. Let’s get out of here. We’ll be back, losers.”

The evildoers vanished.

“Ugh! So not looking forward to it,” said Crystal, as she sighed.

“Hey, we reverted back to our human forms,” said Serena.

“And just in time, the humans are waking up,” Ivy added.

“So, who was that woman that gave us these rings?”

“Only time will tell. No pun intended,” Kristy added with a laugh.
