"Isn't it wonderful to be back at Alfea?" Bloom could hardly contain her excitement at being reunited with her best friends at their beloved school. The door opened and Roxy walked in.

"Hey girls! I'm so excited to be at Alfea…" She had been going to say more but stopped speaking as she noticed a golden glow filling the room. The Winx girls turned to Stella but she held up her hands in a 'not me' gesture. The golden light converged and formed a portal through which the fairies could see a street on Earth.

"Well. Shall we explore then?" Aisha asked rhetorically. The seven fairies stood up and quickly made their way through the portal.

"Everything seems normal," Aisha commented as she looked up and down the street.

"Except for that…" Musa pointed down the street where a bundle of blankets could just be seen on a doorstep. The seven friends walked down the road to where the blankets lay. Bloom bent down to pick up the bundle and realised that the bundle held a small boy with black hair and a peculiar scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on his forehead.

"What's wrong Bloom?"

"This is a child."

"Someone left a child on a doorstep?"

"We can't leave them here."

"Well that would be a new one for the Winx – raising a kid."

Having made a decision, Bloom picked up the young boy and the seven fairies returned to the portal. When they emerged from the portal however, they were not back in their dorm room in Alfea. The seven were stood on an unfamiliar beach, turning the Winx saw a beautiful castle stood on the clifftops. The portal had disappeared.

"Let's go to the castle. Perhaps there'll be someone there who can tell us where we are."
