Bloom felt Darkar's dark spell's needles enter her heart, suddenly he was back in Gardenia but her room was a mix of black and dark purple. When she looked outside she saw the earth was devastated, it was raining blood, people were running on the streets. Then someone behind her said:"We both know this is what you want.".Bloom was stunned. The girl behind her was... was her? Bloom finally answered:"NO I DO NOT WANT THIS! WHO DID THIS TO GARDENIA AND EARTH?" The other Bloom laughed and smiled evilly and said:"That would be me." Bloom was surprised but recovered fast and said:"But why would you do this?". "Isn't it obvious? I am your darker side, Bloom, the side that wants power, I am Dark Bloom." Dark bloom said with a faint yet evil at Bloom's stunned face she continued: "It's time for me to be in the driver seat and you to be stuck down here".Dark Bloom suddenly uses a spell she called "Dark Dreams" on Bloom making her fall asleep while she was escaping and Bloom had become Dark Bloom in the real screamed loudly:"HEEEEEEEELP", then wakes up.

Looking at Bloom's stunned face she continued: "It's time for me to be in the driver seat and you to be stuck down here".

Dark Bloom suddenly uses a spell she called "Dark Dreams" on Bloom making her fall asleep while she was escaping and Bloom had become Dark Bloom in the real world.

Bloom screamed loudly:"HEEEEEEEELP", then wakes up.

All the Winx were in Bloom's and Flora's room when she woke up looking at her worried."You still have those scary nightmares?" Flora asked, which Stella added to:"We understand, the things you had to go through must have been horrible, don't worry though - you are safe and sound with us."Stella looked at everyone's worried faces and suddenly said:"I know what will cheer us up, some shopping at Magix!". So they all got on the hover busses and left for Magix.

In one of the many clothing stores, Bloom went to a cabin to try clothes and looked in the mirror, and what she saw was Dark Bloom... "You can not get rid of me, I will always be a part of you... HA-HA-HA-HA" laughed Dark Bloom. Bloom started crying and was about to break the window, but Dark Bloom disappeared. As per usual, an hour later they walked out of a clothing shop, everyone holding ten bags, thanks to Stella's exquisite and large taste.

The next day was the last day of the school year, and a party was in order, all the Winx were wearing new clothes and they were the stars of the party. Then, the summer started - The Winx decided to each go see their adoptive or biological parents. The summer passed fast, but yet it was one of the most boring summers Bloom had ever had, most likely because she missed her friends.

And so, the third school year was about to start. Bloom had traveled to Alfea again and was the first Winx to arrive there. He went into her and Flora's room. It was dark outside and the lights in the room were off, and she was too tired too but them on, so she just left them off and went to lay on her bed. Suddenly she heard a little 'puff' noise, like a little smoke bomb. She looked around, didn't see anything out of the ordinary and laid back on her bed.

Suddenly she heard a manly voice say:"Long time no see, my darling."

She looked around, panicking and saw Lord Darkar.

Bloom screamed, and yelled:"What? How? Why? GET AWAY FROM ME!".

"Calm down little fairy, I'm not here to hurt you!" Darkar responded

Darkar looked at a photo of the Winx club on the desk and asked: "Tell me, Bloom - Why do you seek friendship? Is it for power? For greatness? To talk with people?"

Bloom answered:"Well... I.. I... To not be lonely! And to always have someone bright in my day."

Darkar smirked evilly, went to the window near Bloom's bed:"Hmm... I see your precious little fairy friends coming, but this is not yet over!" As he said that, he disappeared.

Bloom didn't even notice Flora coming in, "Hey Bloom! How was your summer? And are you okay, you seem... scared? And why is it so damn dark in here?"

Bloom winced a bit and then responded: "Hey Flora, yeah my summer was great and fun"

Bloom decided to lie about what had just happened so she said: "And I was just a little sleepy so I slept and that's why it was so dark, and I wasn't scared - just surprised because of my dream"

Flora looked worried, so Bloom said:"Anyways, don't worry about me - Let's go welcome the others!"

The Winx had gathered in Stella's room to welcome everyone to the new school year and talk about their summers.

Everyone except Bloom had already talked about their summer.

All the girls were looking at Bloom.

"I mean, my summer wasn't that interesting, nothing compared to your's - I just went to Earth and spent my summer there, meeting up with people who I used to be friends with, I even pranked a bully from my old school with magic!" said BloomThe girls looked worried, so Bloom said: "Don't worry he didn't know it was me".The Winx sighed out of relief and went out of the room to get ready for the speech Headmistress Faragonda was supposed to give in the courtyard later.

On their way there they decided to go to the dining hall first, to grab something to snack and make a toast. "To Winx's third year!" said Bloom. Everyone else repeated: "To Winx's third year!", "Winx!" everyone yelled as the glasses collided with each other, after that they all headed out to hear Faragonda's inspirational speech about determination, self-belief, and friendship.

Bloom wasn't listening for most of the speech as she was still thinking about what had occurred.

Suddenly, Bloom realized it - Could it be possible? No... But it was, Bloom enjoyed Darkar's presence, and not because she liked him because Bloom enjoyed being Dark Bloom, mainly because she enjoyed the power that ran through her veins when she was in that form, and she loved that feeling, she adored, admired and wanted that feeling.
