(previously on the Winx Club: Novia's Galaxy; Novia and her friends encountered ruthless bounty hunters from Emerald Tree academy, whom challenged them in a duel. During that ordeal, Novia has also met a handsome bioroid bounty hunter named Rondos. And once this is all over, Novia and Rondos has develope feelings for each other. But how will her friends will take it after they know who Rondos really is?)

It was a fair cloudless day on the planet of Vantaillas and all the four schools is in session. In Deltrella, Novia, Leela, Zieque, Hictor and Janus were in class, trying to ace their quizzes. But this just in, their teacher was called in for the staff meeting.

"Just keep on working, students." said the teacher. "I'm going to head for the staff meeting for the moment. So you better be finished by the time I get back. Understand?"

"YES, MA'AM!" all the students responded in unison as the teacher leaves the classroom.

Zieque puts his feet on his desk, refusing to finishes his quiz.

"Oh finally! I thought she never leaves." Zieque says with a lazy taunt.

Hictor shook his head in disgust. He is not impress with Zieque's pretty boy ways.

"You just love to avoid good work, don't you, Zieque?" said Hictor in a smart allick tone.

"Oh c'mon, Hictor. It's called taking a break." Zieque fired back. "You should try it sometime."

"I rather not." Hictor says as he tries to focus on his quiz.

"Dude! There's more to life than just wasting your brain away on papers." remarked Zieque as he invades Hictor's space.

"Yeah? And there's more to life than just flirting with girls and playing video games all day." Hictor said with a comback.

Novia, Leela, and Janus cracked up laughing with Hictor's smart comback towards Zieque.

"My, I know he told you!" laughed Janus.

Zieque sits back from his seat, turning his head away in defeat.

"Whatever." says Zieque.

Leela and Janus both turned to Novia.

"So, anyone up for a all girls movie night?" remarked Janus. "Sherris got rentals from the movie store downtown."

"I'm up for it." said Leela as she turns to Novia. "What about you Novia?"

Novia snaps out of it for a split second.

"Oh! Well, sorry girls. I can't." said Novia.

"Why not, Novia?" wondered Janus.

"I have plans to meet someone after school." said Novia.

Leela and Janus looked at each other in a funny way as they began to wonder who the secret boy is.

"You? Meeting someone after school?" said Janus. "Oooh! You're one lucky fairy! I'm so jealous right now."

"But I wonder, who is this special someone, Novia?" asked Leela.

"I hope it's me." said Zieque as he sticks his nose into their conversation.

Janus and Leela both got a little annoyed with the way Zieque jumps into their conversation like he did.

"Umm for one, it's not you! And two, it's none of your business!" snaps Janus. "And three, who would want to date your two-timing behind, you player?!"

"Every hot girl in Deltrella." said Zieque, showing off his charms.

"Oh boy. Not this again." said Hictor, shaking his head.

"Yeah, right." Leela said.

Novia turns around and looks out the window, wondering if Rondos is thinking the same way about her. Meanwhile, at Emerald Tree academy, Rondos is now in battle training class with the other bounty hunter students. But the coach tells them to take a 5 minute break. Rondos wipes away the sweat from his half machanical body. He walks towards the window, wondering if Novia is doing okay and if she's thinking of him. This just in, his coach came up to him.

"Hey my boy, Rondos!" said the coach. "Something on your mind, son?"

Rondos turns to face him.

"Oh, its you, coach. It's nothing, sir." said Rondos.

"Nothing? This don't look like nothing." remark the coach. "Just spill it out, son."

"Okay. You got me. Its a girl that I met at the mall a day ago." said Rondos, folding his arms while leaning his back on the wall.

"A girl you say?" the coach asked.

"Yes, sir. Her name is Novia." said Rondos. "She goes to Deltrella academy."

"Deltrella academy, eh?" says the coach.

"Yes. And when I look at her, there's something about her that draws me near to her." said Rondos. "It's like she is different from any other girls in the magical galaxy."

The coach pats on Rondos' metal shoulder.

"Well son, all I can say is this." remarked the coach as he sets Rondos straight. "There is a time for crushes and there is a time to get back to training. So why won't you get back to the battle chamber and focus on your skills? You're gonna need your arms to do more than just holding her hands."

Rondos smiles as he shakes his head.

"Alright, coach. You got it." says Rondos as he went back into the battlefield training. The coach looks at him with a smile on his face.

"Kids. They sure do grow up so fast alright." the coach thought to himself as he too went back to the control room.
