Last time on the winx...
The mermaids dove into the water their tails moving quickly."what do you think scared them so much" Timmy asked looking at the spot where the mermaids had been a moment ago. " I don't know, but I hope we'll see them again." Sky said as they headed for land.

We gasped for breath as we swam for our lives back to the castle, " we..have...to..tell...the...others" I gasped out as we used our arms to help us move faster."What..would..we..tell...them? We..broke..the rules?" Stella asked giving another push with her hands."I..don't..know...but...we..have..to...say..something!" Bloom added and we slowed down trying to catch our breath. "Where have you girls been?" someone asked behind us,I gulped and turned around. Our mothers had their arms crossed and worry,anger, and relief in their eyes. " swimming..."I said though my mother new there was more that I wasn't telling then. "Girls, do you know how worried we were? Your lucky we don't tell your fathers!" Musa' s mother said and we looked down at our tails. "Were sorry" Bloom said quietly and we hear our mothers sigh and they took us into their arms, Flora's step-mother took Flora into her arms. I snuggled into my mothers arms, wanting to feel her warmth that I rarely felt since she was always busy. My mother hugged me closer and I smiled, " we better be going Digit, Oritel wants us in the thrown room" Bloom's mother said swimming torwords the castle our mothers following. I look over at Bloom who has a sad look on her face as she watched her mother disappear into the castle gates. " You ok Bloom?" I ask her. "wha...oh yeah I'm fine, let's go to my room and do designs on our tails, I got new tail polish" she said leading the way though I could tell that nothing was something, but I let it go for now. " So what did you think of the humans?" I ask as Stella ran purple tail glitter polish in designs over my tail. " They seemed so different, I thought they were all bloodthirsty who just liked killing mermaids" Flora said as Layla traced the bottom of her fin with pink tail glitter polish. Bloom looked over at her,sympathy in her eyes." I thought they were too, but now... I don't know" she said softly. I nodded, " I don't think we should see them again" I say to them. " I second that!" Roxy said painting her tail to have teal tail glitter polish streaks. " I third that!" Layla said finishing Flora's fin and now doing a pattern on her tail. " Well I don't! They don't seem like they want to hurt us"Stella said finishing my tail and going over to Bloom's. I gaze at my new design and swish my tail around a bit the glitter sparkling. Bloom bit her lip and thought hard," I'm going to have to agree with Stella...I've never felt this way around Sam"Bloom said talking about her merman boyfriend. " same here, me and Terrence just don't have the same connection as I feel with when I'm around Helia" Flora said blushing a little. " oooo, Flora has a crush on a human!" Stella squealed. " you like a human too! Brandon.." Flora said taking the light green tail glitter polish and began doing Layla's tail.

I sigh, Riven was so cute and I wished he had done what Sky did to Bloom. " I think we should see if their on their ship tonight or see if their on land if their not on their ship" I say as Roxy helps me splatter paint my tail. " that I agree with!" Stella says switching spots with Bloom, Bloom took a golden tail glitter polish and began painting on Stella's tail. " Did you hear about the party tonight?" I ask them. Flora looked up," what party?" she asks. " the party for my sister and Hunter!" I exclaim talking about my sisters fiancé. " I love parties!" Stella said jumping up. I laugh and clap," Im glad since everyone is invited." I say. "I guess it's a good thing we painted our tails" Bloom said smiling at her design.
" How should I do my hair? Gold streaks?" Stella asked looking the mirror. Everyone laughs and Stella looks confused,"what?" she asks. " What about the boys?" Flora points out. "Maybe we can go after the party?" I suggest and everyone agrees." Lets get moving! We have a party to get ready for!"Stella says and we all look threw mermaid magazines for hairstyles.
No ones Pov
Bloom looked at the different hairstyles and decide on half up half down and curling the rest. " What do you think? Instead of leaving my hair straight, I'll curl it" she says showing everyone my idea. "It's going to be so pretty!" Roxy says smiling. Bloom smile back and glance at her long red hair it reached about the middle of her tail. "I think I'm going to do a seashell braid( their version of a French braid)" Flora says glancing at the picture then at her long light brown hair with blonde streaks, it reached down to her fin. "For sure! I'll help you of you like" Bloom offers. " Thanks Bloom! Same goes for you too, if you need help" she answer and went to go get supplies for her hair. "I don't know what I should do" Musa says holding up one of her navy blue long pigtails, she normally had them that way ad they reached a little not past ther beginning of her fin. "What about down? Then if you want I can do little twists" Stella suggests. "That sounds really pretty Stella! Thanks!"Musa said swimming over an giving the blonde a hug, which Stella happily returned. "I think I'll just put my hair up in a ponytail an curl my bangs and the pony tail" Roxy said holding her pink hair up, her hair hung at her waist,we all nod as she disappears into the bathroom. " Im just going to curl mine it's not really log enough to do a lot with it" Tecna says with a laugh, her pink hair a little bit past her shoulders. "What about you Stella and Laya?" Bloom asks." Just straight for me" Layla says. Her brown curly hair reached past her fin, so it would be extremely long web she straitened it. " I'm going to do a waterfall for me with golden streaks" Stella said shaking her long blonde hair which hang at the beginning of her fin. The girls start getting ready and in the end adding the same colored streaks as their tails to their hair. " Gorges darlings!" Stella said as we all came out.
