Mid-afternoon, and lessons were well underway. Tegryn had done the smart thing and teleported straight into the classroom - there was no way he was going to risk spending hours upon end wandering the hallways and corridors of Alfea... one wrong turn and he'd probably end up in a sewer somewhere and that was the last thing he wanted, especially seeing as this lesson was being taught by Griselda.

But no, he had got here just in time, and now he stood at the front of the class, reading aloud from his assignment on magic theory under Griselda's critical gaze as his classmates all listened hard to what he had to say, frantically scribbling down notes... well, except Anyuna that is. Just like her classmates, her attention was focused on Tegryn, but not a single word of his was entering neither her memory nor her notebook.

Instead she was merely concentrating on his face, staring up at him dreamily with her head resting in one hand as she leant on her desk. She gazed longingly into his eyes - they were bluer than the deepest bluest sea, a vast ocean in which she could quite happily get lost. Her gaze then moved downwards a bit and she stared intently at his lips, oh those luscious lips, as they read aloud from the paper he held out in front of him. She closed her eyes and imagined them, whispering sweet nothings to her, planting heavenly kisses gently all over her face before meeting her own lips, pressing gently against them, exploring them passionately as he embraced her, running his hands through her jet black hair...

"Anyuna! ANYUNA!" Griselda snapped angrily.

She awoke from her daydream with a start.

"Oh, so you finally decided to join us again. If you really want to sleep, may I suggest waiting until night-time like everybody else?"

"I'm... I'm sorry. I wasn't sleeping."

"It certainly looked like it from where I was sitting. Now pay attention!"

Anyuna sheepishly got herself in order and tried desperately to catch up with the others. She was so angry with herself - she knew this crush was wrong in so many ways, but what's the point of having a sensible head if your heart won't listen and your imagination misbehaves at every opportunity?

The Winx Club girls, along with the rest of their class, were off-campus. Led by Professor Palladium, they walked through the forest just outside the castle on a wildlife-spotting field trip, except for Musa, who was forced to flutter alongside her friends thanks to her leg still being in plaster from Kaiser's horrific attack over a month ago.

"I bet you'll be glad to get out of that." Layla whispered to her. Musa smiled and gazed down at her leg - all of her friends had written messages plus the odd doodle. Even Tune had joined in, writing a traditional get-well message from some world or other in her own immaculately beautiful handwriting. But pride of place was taken by three simple letters:

I
♥
U

which Tegryn had thoughtfully written upside-down running up her leg just so she could read it properly whenever she looked down at it. She sighed happily.

"Yeah, it'll be so cool to walk again - and I've only got one more day to wait too. Still, my wings are getting stronger thanks to all this exercise!"

They were interrupted by Palladium's excited whisper. "Shh! Look over there." he said, pointed at a brown bird with red spots running down its long tail sitting on a branch above their heads. "It's a Greater Spotted Aria Bird. It's tail feathers can be used to make a Sweet Music potion."

"What's a Sweet Music potion?"

"It's a potion that, when drunk, enables the user to make the object of their desires fall in love with them just by singing to them. Let's see if we can get a closer look, and maybe even one of its feathers." he said as he slowly tiptoed towards it. All of a sudden, the quiet of the forest was disturbed by a cellphone's loud ringtone. The Aria Bird flew away. Everyone looked at Layla, who hurriedly fished her phone out of her purse and looked at the screen.

JASON CALLING

"Ooh, Jason's calling!" said Stella teasingly. "Come on, hurry up and answer it."

Layla did as she was told, not that she needed Stella's nagging to speak to her new boyfriend. "Hey you!" she said sweetly, listening closely to what he had to say whilst occasionally giggling like a little schoolgirl. "Wow, that sounds cool... yes, I'd love to... okay, see you at seven. Byeeee! Love you too! Mwah! Mwah!"

She put her phone away and looked up coyly at her friends, blushing slightly. "Jason's found this really cool restaurant in Majix City - he's taking me there tonight!"

"Ooh, I love you too! Mwah! Mwah!" Stella and Bloom teased.

"Oh stop it you guys!" said Flora as she put her arm around her rather embarrassed friend. "Don't you think it's cool that she's so happy now?"

"She's right." said Bloom hugging Layla as an apology, just in case her feeing got hurt. "Everything's so cool right now - we're all madly in love, things are totally peaceful... I hope things never change."

"That is SO true." said Musa. "And anyway... who needs love potions when we have such great boyfriends?"
