Inside cover:

Page 1:

The Winx Fairies had received an invite of Aisha to spend the day together in the planet Andros. Each had brought their own pet [the Fairy Pets]. To celebrate the meeting, they went to lunch in the Golden Shark, a restaurant famous for their dishes based on seafood.

"Where is Stella?" asked Aisha, while drinking with the other fairies.

"You know how she is," answered Bloom. "She has been in Andros before, but never loses a occasion to do shopping. The fashion from here is so different!"



Page 2:

At the end of the day, after lots of strolls and a delicious ice cream, the Winx said goodbye to Aisha and returned to Gardenia where they lived.

Aisha liked her friends a lot and stayed happy when they came to visit her. The fairy returned to the royal palace with Milly, that jumped around her.

As Aisha just got inside in the castle, her father required to speak with her. And by his face, seemed that the fairy wouldn't like the conversation.

Page 3:

"My daughter, you are a princess of Andros, and sooner or later will be queen. For such, I decided that you will dedicate your time to prepare," said the King Teredor.

"How so, father?" asked Aisha.

"You will go to Ethereal's Dimension to study with Madame S, the most famous instructor of princesses. During a year, you will learn the habits and languages of all main countries which we have relations. You will be trained to relate with others in a sweet and firm way, like how a queen must be."

At that moment [time], Aisha thought of her friends, and in how would be sad staying so long far from everything she liked. Subsequently, she went to her room and called to Bloom. When she finished telling all that was occurring, Aisha was almost crying.

"Friend, don't stay like this. I will reunite the girls and shortly we will be there," said Bloom. If you have to go, we will do the best farewell party of all times! [Weirdly enough there was no mark for the character speech in that last phrase.]



Page 4:

Some time after, the aquatic taxi of the Winx stopped in front of the Andros palace's gates. Soon she saw her friends, Aisha threw herself in their arms, as if it was the last time she would seem them.

Flora, Aisha and Bloom sank in the coach. Tecna snuggled in a armchair. Musa sat in the floor and Stella sat in a chair in the shape of a shell.

"So, what is the schedule?" asked Aisha.

"Oh, nothing much: a pajama party, popcorn, a movie and maybe a face massage manicure, pedicure a cake, balloons..." answered Bloom.

"Then, we are going out to shop all that we need!" said Tecna.

The girls made a list, afterwards, they entered in the aquatic limousine of the palace and went to the stores.

Page 5:

On the way back, they found a girl crying quietly. She was shaking because of the night breeze.

"Do you need help?" asked Aisha.

"No, I.. It is that I just lost the last [little] boat to go home to go home. Now I will need to wait here till tomorrow." [Said the girl that was crying.]

"How do you call [yourself]?" asked Aisha, after the fairies had introduced themselves.

[My note: I preferred to keep the "slang" from "chama" (call) as she didn't ask the girl in the usual "what is your name?"] [Language curiosity: "Chama" can also means flame.]

"My name is Sif." [Said the girl.]

The four friends thought the same thing.

"We can not leave you here alone. Why don't you come with us? We will do a party. For such, the more people, the more fun we will have!" said Aisha.

"Thank you!" answered the girl, relieved.



Page 6: The aquatic limousine stood in front of the palace. When she saw the enourmous building of marble, Sif eyes widened. It was wonderful!

"You live in a palace?" asked Sif, surprised.

"Yes, I'm a princess. Maybe I shuold have said before," said Aisha.

Sif made a reverence surprisingly elegant till the floor, and said:

"Forgive me, highness, I knew not who you were."

The Winx exchanged funny looks.

"Thanks, Sif, but is not necessary! I'm a princess, but I want you to relax and have fun. You are my guest, I want you to feel comfortable [at easy]." [said Aisha.]

[Note: In Portuguese is actually written "to feel yourself at (your own) will" but the sense is like the above.]



Page 7:

Long after, the girls wearing pajama, inclusive Sif, in which Aisha had lent one of hers. Despite the party, the princess was still sad for she will have to part from her dear friends.

"Be it [maybe] explaining to your father your point of view, with good manners, wouldn't he change the idea?" suggested Stella.

"Its true, dear" said Flora. "Maybe you can tell him that you will study whatever he wants, even in the weekends, yet, ask him to you stay in Andros."

"Even more, a future queen must know what she wants and fight for it" completed Tecna.

Page 9 [Inside back]:

That moment, Sif got up and said:

"Well, in regard of your father, I don't know, but to me you have already shown how you feel."

Afterwards, she transformed herself in a lady tall and elegant. The Winx looked at her, scared.

"I'm Madame S, I ask you apologize for having fooled you all, but I wanted to meet Aisha before she came to study with me."

Madame S looked at the Winx, that were chocked.

"I never saw a friendship like this. Not only for the way you like each other, but also because you treated me like one of you. I will be proud to be your instructor, dear, but I think it would be a mistake to separate you. I will tell your father that I will bring my hut here to Andros, this way you can study with me and be with your friends."

"Yey! [Long] live the friendship!" exclaimed the Winx.

Stella took Aisha by the arm and conducted her in a crazy dance, while Bloom Flora and Tecna, full of happiness launched hundreds of colorful sparks!



End.

I will go back translating the Trendix now... As soon as I have more chapters done I will post them together to short the amount of blog posts like I did with this one.
