Chapter 18
More Memories for Timmy
"All right Keiichi you've won me over," Saladin laughed. "you may stay here too."
After Saladin left with the other specialists, more memories from Christmas with Bloom & her family had begun to flash in front of Timmy's eyes.
Within Timmy's memory, a few days before Christmas went by and Timmy got the itchy desire to give Tecna the amulet early.
Mike caught Timmy grabbing the small trinket box for Tecna from under the tree with all the other wrapped Christmas presents.
"Control your curiosity!" Mike scolded the youth.
"Yes Sir." Timmy sighed once again because of the Trix's temporary fatigue spell that he thought was lifted from him, so he lay on the sofa, took his glasses off, put them on the coffee table, and fell fast asleep.
Timmy was having a dream about Tecna, in the dream though, Tecna wore a blue evening dress and around her neck, she wore the emerald amulet that Timmy was to give to her for The Day of the Triton.
4 hours later when Timmy awoke, he saw Tecna staring at him and he saw Tecna was in fact wearing a blue evening dress and around her neck, she wore the emerald amulet that Timmy was to give to her for The Day of the Triton.
"Wake up, Sleepyhead." Tecna laughed.
Timmy rubbing his blurry eyes, finally realized, this was no dream, this was real.
Timmy didn't quite understand why or how Tecna could be wearing the emerald amulet when he was to give it to her on Christmas Day.
"Tecna, where did you get that amulet?" Timmy asked feeling baffled about the pendant that Tecna was wearing.
"I don't know Timmy," Tecna answered. "but it sure is a lovely piece of jewelry."
Timmy was still feeling baffled about the amulet as Flora, Stella, Musa, and Bloom all entered the house in their winx forms.
"Tecna, we saw the Trix here in Gardenia," Bloom panted breathlessly. "hurry up and transform!"
"Tecna magic... ah!" Tecna was thrust backward hard against Mike's favorite chair, she couldn't even say "winx" and complete her transformation because something she was wearing was mysteriously electrocuting her.
"Tecna my love," Timmy shouted running to the location in the living room where Tecna had landed. "Tecna!"
"No!" Stella, Bloom, Flora, and Musa all called out after Timmy as they too ran to where Tecna had fallen.
"Tecna, Tecna, open your eyes please!" Timmy said urgently.
Tecna opened her eyes, "Timmy, I hope you'll understand that I have to go and battle the witches alongside my friends," she said. "Tecna magic... ah!" Tecna was electrocuted once again.
"Tecna!" Timmy called out.
"It is that amulet Tecna's wearing," Flora deduced. "it will kill her in a matter of minutes if it continues to shock her!"
"Tecna, don't even try to transform," Timmy warned. "if you do, you will end up committing suicide," Timmy began sobbing uncontrollably. "don't you see Tecna, I love you way too much to lose you!"
"Sky... Brandon... and Riven... are all battling Icy, Darcy, and Stormy as well, so I have no other choice but to go and fight." Tecna said feeling exhaustion.
"Bloom, Stella, Musa, and I will go and help them in the battle," Timmy said. "Flora, you stay here and guard Tecna!"
Flora detransformed, "Right Timmy!" Flora said.
While the Winx and Timmy were leaving Flora and Tecna behind at the house, Timmy looked back at his girlfriend with a heavy sadness within his heart.
Over in town, the Winx Club and the specialists were having a tough time in the battle with the Trix.
"Are you sure we're doing the right thing for Tecna's safety!" Timmy asked feeling a bit of concern.
"Of course we're doing the right thing for your girlfriend!" Riven called to Timmy while dodging 1 of Icy's attacks.
Back at Bloom's house, Flora saw Tecna sit up on the sofa where Timmy slept at night, Tecna looked as though she had been hypnotized by the beautiful trinket she was wearing around her neck.
Flora looked up Tecna's amulet on the internet and found some dangerous information about it.
"It is called 'The Amulet of the Sirens,' noted for having a cursed emerald in its center, this particular piece of jewelry is very deadly as well as dangerous, the amulet puts the wearer into an unstoppable hypnotic state, the cursed emerald in the middle of the amulet can and will shock its wearer if the wearer tries any transformations and kill the wearer with its deadly shocks until the wearer of 'The Amulet of the Sirens' is dead."
Flora called Bloom and she told her what was going on at her end of the line.
"Bloom it's Flora, you and the others have got to come back to your house and quick," Flora said. "I have no time to explain the situation, Tecna is in grave danger!"
"Hey, I think I see Flora and Tecna down there!" Brandon called.
"Tecna magic... ah!" Tecna said trying to transform but she didn't let the electric shock bother her too much.
Flora had turned, "Tecna!" she called running back to assist her wounded friend.
"We have got to get down there, Flora wasn't kidding," Timmy called. "Tecna's life is really hanging in the balance!"
The other fairies & specialists made it to the spot where Flora and Tecna were.
"Tecna magic... ah!" Tecna called out once again shocking herself by the curse of the amulet.
"Tecna, don't try to transform," Timmy warned once again. "you will kill yourself, and I will not be able to bear that, Tecna, you're the most important person in any world of any galaxy to me, and I shall not have your blood upon my hands!"
"Tecna magic... ah!" Tecna called shocking herself by the amulet once again.
"Tecna isn't even going to listen to reason," Riven called. "she is going to get massacred!"
"No Riven, I'm not even going to let that happen," Timmy exclaimed. "and the reason being is because Tecna is my everything!"
"But she won't even listen, she thinks that the time to fight is now!" Brandon said to Timmy.
"Right now Brandon, I do not even care about that," Timmy called back. "Tecna is still everything in my whole world, and I do not intend to lose her!"
"Tecna magic... ah!" Tecna called getting electrocuted by the amulet once again.
"Stop this Tecna!" Riven shouted.
"Tecna magic... ah!" Tecna called out once again.
Tecna was thrust backwards once again by the force of the amulet's power, but this time she had crashed into an apple tree which knocked the wind out of her completely.
"Tecna!" Timmy called out running to assist his injured girlfriend.
Tecna quickly recovered and opened her eyes.
"Tecna magic... ah!" Tecna called once again trying to transform so that she could fight the Trix alongside her friends and her beloved boyfriend, Timmy.
Bloom tried to pull the amulet off of Tecna's neck but the Winx Club and the specialists all discovered soon enough that the amulet wouldn't come off that easily.
"Oh Timmy," Darcy laughed with satisfaction. "you do realize that Tecna won't live very long while wearing that amulet, do you not?"
"Tecna no!" Timmy called out in agony.
"What a shame you're going to lose your girlfriend Timmy," Stormy said. "and it'll be all your fault."
"Tecna magic... ah!" Tecna called out standing up trying to transform.
"For once Tecna, Riven is right," Musa called out. "you have really got to stop doing this to yourself!"
"Tecna magic... ah!" Tecna called stubbornly trying to transform so she could help her friends battle against the Trix.
"What'll we do?" Stella asked Sky. "Tecna will not listen to reason."
Prince Sky could tell Stella was worried about Tecna's safety, but the prince himself didn't know what to say or do for Tecna at this point in time.
By now, Tecna was laying under the apple tree where she had fallen, and she was breathlessly summoning Timmy to come and sit by her side.
"I really wanted to spend The Day of the Triton with you Timmy," Tecna said in a hoarse whisper. "but it turns out that I'm not going to make it."
"Tecna please don't go," Timmy begged his dying girlfriend. "you are my everything, oh I wish I will never lose you."
"I have to go now Timmy," Tecna said weakly. "this really is my time to go."
Bloom, Stella, Musa, Flora, Brandon, Prince Sky, and Riven all tried hard not to cry as they watched Timmy trying to talk Tecna into staying in the land of the living.
"Good bye, my love." Tecna said, her dying words made Timmy feel heartache for the first time ever in his life.
"Timmy, I know how to lift the amulet's curse," Flora said. "both you and Tecna must sing the love song that you had sung on the aircraft on the night we arrived here in Gardenia."
"But what if the song will not work?" Timmy asked Flora.
"Trust me Timmy," Flora answered. "the love song will work."
Timmy began to sing the song that he and Tecna sang on the aircraft.
Timmy: Look at the sky;
Tell me, what do you see;
Just close your eyes;
And describe it to me;
The heavens are sparkling;
With starlight tonight;
That's what I see through your eyes.
Tecna was still motionless, her body was as cold as ice.
"What's the damage report?" Sky called to Timmy.
"Tecna is as cold as ice Sky," Timmy called back. "she may not have enough power to even sing with me!"
Tecna's voice was still weak but she managed to sing.
Tecna: I see the heavens;
Each time that you smile;
I hear your heartbeat;
Just go on for miles;
And suddenly I know;
Why life is worthwhile;
That's what I see;
Through your eyes.
"Tecna's doing it," Musa called happily. "her voice may be a weak whisper right now, but she's getting stronger as she sings with Timmy and they continue to break the dark curse upon the amulet!"
Tecna's voice was stronger now as she and Timmy continued to sing.
Timmy & Tecna: That's what I see;
Through your eyes;
Here in the night;
I see the sun;
Here in the dark;
Our two hearts are one;
It's out of our hands;
We can't stop;
What we have begun;
And love just took me;
By surprise;
Looking through your eyes.
The song choked Riven up just as much this time as it did that night on the aircraft.
"Sing more, you guys," Riven sobbed. "that song is more beautiful than I remember!"
Timmy and Tecna heard Riven's request as Timmy helped Tecna stand up, they continued to sing some more.
Timmy & Tecna: I see a night;
I wish could last;
forever;
I see a world;
We're meant;
To see together;
And it is;
So much;
More than I;
Remember;
Brandon embraced Bloom as Sky embraced Stella as well as kissed her, and Flora and Musa still watched on as Tecna and Timmy continued to sing.
Timmy: More than I remember.
Tecna: More than I have known.
Timmy & Tecna: Here in the night;
I see the sun;
Here in the dark;
Our two hearts are one;
It's out of our hands;
We can't stop;
What we have begun;
And love just took me;
By surprise;
Looking through your eyes.
Looking through your eyes.
The amulet's curse had lifted and Tecna took the amulet off from around her neck and handed it to Prince Sky.
Prince Sky then chucked the evil piece of jewelry far away to a place where it wouldn't cause any more harm to innocent lovers.
Tecna awoke the next morning by the sound of someone knocking on the door to Bloom's bedroom.
"Come in!" Tecna called, she was still in her pajamas.
Timmy entered carrying a tray with 2 sticky cinnamon rolls and a tall glass of milk on it for Tecna.
"Good morning Tecna," Timmy said setting Tecna's breakfast in front of her. "happy Day of the Triton!"
"Timmy, I think you mean, 'merry Christmas,' do you not?" Tecna asked after she'd finished eating.
"Merry Christmas Tecna!" Timmy exclaimed.
Timmy and Tecna went down to the living room to open their Christmas presents.
Tecna and Timmy both loved their Christmas presents that they each got from Vanessa, Mike, Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Prince Sky, Brandon, and Riven, but they each noticed that they both had 1 more present to open.
Timmy went first, tearing open the wrapping from his gifts, he found the green jacket and the centaur pin from Tecna.
"I love my new jacket," Timmy said. "and the pin will look so great on it!"
"And I love my new sleepwear Timmy!" Tecna said.
Tecna and Timmy both agreed that the holiday of Christmas made the star of their love shine.
Timmy was brought back to reality by Keiichi Stanton & Amy Mizuno singing a very familiar song.
Keiichi: Look at the sky;
Tell me, what do you see;
Just close your eyes;
And describe it to me;
The heavens are sparkling;
With starlight tonight;
That's what I see through your eyes.
Amy: I see the heavens;
Each time that you smile;
I hear your heartbeat;
Just go on for miles;
And suddenly I know;
Why life is worthwhile;
That's what I see;
Through your eyes.
Keiichi & Amy: That's what I see;
Through your eyes;
Here in the night;
I see the sun;
Here in the dark;
Our two hearts are one;
It's out of our hands;
We can't stop;
What we have begun;
And love just took me;
By surprise;
Looking through your eyes.
I see a night;
I wish could last;
forever;
I see a world;
We're meant;
To see together;
And it is;
So much;
More than I;
Remember;
Keiichi: More than I remember.
Amy: More than I have known.
Keiichi & Amy: Here in the night;
I see the sun;
Here in the dark;
Our two hearts are one;
It's out of our hands;
We can't stop;
What we have begun;
And love just took me;
By surprise;
Looking through your eyes.
Looking through your eyes.
"I don't believe this," Timmy exclaimed to Amy & Keiichi. "how could the two of you possibly know that song, it's amazing!"
Amy & Keiichi didn't answer as Nurse Ofelia took off Tecna's wet washcloth & examined the four cuts Keiichi had mentioned.
