It wasn't often that Bloom was quick to get out of bed. But after two adventures years at Alfea, she couldn't wait to see what her 3rd year had install for her. Knowing that Stella hated to be kept waiting, Bloom made faster work of her breakfast than she'd care to admit, and dragged her suitcases down the stairs with much hard work. When Bloom got into the lounge Stella didn't look at all pleased. "Took you long enough Bloom." Stella sarcastically remarked. "Sorry Stella, but these suitcases weigh a ton!" Bloom said with exhaustion after correctly positioning them for inter-dimensional travel. "Well I don't care, why didn't you just use magic to bring them down? You've kept me from Brandon long enough!". "I would prefer to still have magic energy when school starts, and you really should give Brandon his space, I swear you never give him a chance to breath.". "Now, now. I think your overdoing the details a little Bloom. Anyway less talk, more travelling." And before Bloom could say a word, Stella had activated her ring of Solarria and transported herself, Bloom and all of Blooms suitcases straight to Alfea college for fairies.

At most it was precise enough to get straight to their dorm, but a bit too precise to land on a bed. What didn't help was that Musa was lying on that bed before Bloom landed directly on top of her. After both girls tumbled into the floor and got back up, they watch Stella pop her head through the door, going bright red when she saw an unimpressed Musa stare angrily at her. "Thanks for the lift Stella, but next time could you take me to my room rather than landing on Musa again?" Bloom asked with slight hints of sarcasm. "Yeah, it's not cool to be flattened by your friends. By the way Bloom, it was nice of you to drop by." Musa added as Bloom giggled at the joke. "Alright, I'm sorry. It's not very often I be an inter-dimensional taxi." Stella muttered.

Suddenly, Aisha came blasting through the door with her luggage, straight into Stella. Suitcases started flying everywhere as Musa and Bloom help Stella and Aisha to their feet. "Sorry Stella." Aisha exclaimed in between breaths, clearly from exhaustion. "No worries, it's fine." Stella said as the other girls tidied up the mess of open suitcases and clothes all over the floor. "What's the rush though, the welcome assembly doesn't start for another three hours?" Bloom asked with spiked interest. "Tecna and Flora told me that they had a surprise for us girls, especially for you Bloom. But I don't know what it is. Also Stella, how come your in a bad mood? Aisha asked hurriedly. "My daddy's on a 'quest' to find Solaria a new queen." Stella said with a deep sigh. "But enough about me, where are Tecna and Flora?". "At Pixie Village." Aisha yelled as she ran out the door. Musa, Bloom and Stella looked at each other with looks of confusion before following Aisha's path. "Why would Tecna and Flora be at Pixie Village before school starts? And why is Bloom important for the surprise?" Musa asked. Neither Bloom nor Stella could answer those questions, as they were just as clueless as she was.

After a short transformation and even shorter journey, Bloom, Stella and Musa arrived at Pixie Village, where all the pixie were surrounding Tecna, Flora and Aisha. "Would someone please tell me what is going on?!" Stella yelled. At the sound of Stella's voice everyone turned to look at the girls who just arrived. From that crowed 3 pixies flew towards them. Lockette was the first to reach her bonded fairy, Bloom, followed by Amore who went to Stella and finally Tune who went to Musa saying, "It is most rude to rush at someone like a wild animal." As Musa, Stella and Bloom greeted their pixies joyfully, Flora stepped forward holding something in her hands. Seeing that Flora was trying to show them something, Bloom decided to take a closer look. "I would wait until after Stella and Musa have looked first, just trust me on this one, ok?" Lockette said as soon as Bloom noticed Flora. Knowing to always trust Lockette she agreed and instead went to Tecna, who was typing away at her computer. "Hey Bloom. Long time no see." Tecna said without even a glance at Bloom. "How come everyone is at Pixie Village?" Bloom asked with curiosity. "It was digit really." Tecna explained. "Flora and I were just going to greet Aisha when Digit flew straight into me yelling 'Get to Pixie Village and get the rest of winx to come as well, especially Bloom. Hurry it's a surprise.' So we told Aisha to get everyone else while we went ahead. You should probably see Flora now, Musa and Stella have finished looking."

As soon as Tecna was finished Bloom headed over to Flora who was patiently waiting for Bloom. "Hey Bloom..." Flora muttered as Bloom approached her. "Good to see you to Flora. What're you holding?" Bloom asked with much enthusiasm. "Well..." Flora drifted off, sentence unfinished as she brought her hands towards Bloom to see. At a glance she thought it was a bat, but upon closer inspection she realized that it was a pixie. However, pixies she'd seen never had bat like wings or said 'Bloom' over and over in their sleep. "So...er...who's this?" Bloom asked in bewilderment. No one said anything. "Well... does anyone who this is?" Bloom asked raising her voice. Then slowly and sadly, Lockette flew towards Bloom, stopped and looked at Bloom with a tear in her eye and said. "This is Starry the pixie of darkness and we believe that she's your bonded pixie, like me."
