Roxy arrived at the Winx's apartment above Love and Pet. The door was closed, and she could hear voices inside. While debating whether she should knock or just open the door (after all, a full-fledged Winx member would be able to do this. The only thing was...was she a full-fledged Winx member?), Roxy caught some words from the conversation. She pulled out her journal and began to write the words down.

Important...magic skills...powers...strength...incapable...Roxy

Roxy stiffened as she heard her name. They were talking about her. What were they saying? She pressed her ear to the door, her pen poised above her journal to write down what she heard.

She's not capable...her magic skills are still not great! She needs more practice. How can she become a full member of the group? Yeah, she's our best friend too but her powers aren't strong enough. We just don't want her to get hurt and hinder the safety of people and planets when they're under attack and we have to save them.

Roxy moved away from the door. So she WASN'T a full member of the group. Why? Because her powers weren't great enough! Like the person who had been talking (Roxy couldn't make out who it was), Roxy knew that she was the Winx's best friend. But she wasn't strong enough to become a full fledged member. After a few minutes, Roxy knocked on the door and walked in.

"Hey Roxy!" Tecna waved her over. "Come and say hi to Ms. Faragonda."

Roxy smiled. She liked the headmistress of Alfea as she was always kind and helpful.

"Hi Ms. Faragonda," Roxy waved at the image of Faragonda in the computer screen.

"Hello Roxy," Faragonda said. "Let me update you on the conversation...unless anyone else would like to do it."

Roxy looked around but the Winx remained silent. Stella shifted uncomfortably in her chair and Flora tugged on her hair.

"Roxy, we've been discussing you."

"ME!?" Roxy pretended to be shocked. "Why me?"

"We've been discussing your powers. They are growing at a tremendous rate Roxy."

"Ok?"

Faragonda sighed.

"Roxy, you believe that you are a member of the Winx right?"

"Yes..."

"A Winx fairy can control her powers. Your powers may be strong Roxy, but you don't know how to use them. You don't know how to handle them."

"That's not true!" Roxy exclaimed. "I defeated the Fairy Hunters! I saved the Earth Fairies WITH the Winx. I can control my powers."

"Yes you can," Musa spoke up. "You can control SOME of your powers. Not a lot of it. Roxy, to fight properly, you should be able to control all of your powers."

"Are you...are you pushing me out of the Winx?" Roxy felt hot tears welling up in her eyes.

"No of course not!" Bloom stood up and walked over to Roxy to hug her. "We just want what's best for you Roxy! Maybe you shouldn't fight with us until you can control your powers properly."

Roxy pushed Bloom away. She immediately felt bad. Bloom was only trying to help.

"So what you are all trying to say is that I'm not able to fight with you people! I'm not capable! I'm not strong enough! Well, you're wrong. I can control my powers. I'll fight with you guys whenever the next fight against whoever rolls around. I will! I'll prove myself to you ALRIGHT!?"

Nobody spoke. No one had seen Roxy so angry before.

"Good," Roxy said. Then, she ran out of the room so that the Winx wouldn't see her cry.
