Chapter 4
CPG giggles in amusement as she finishes a colorful chart on the wall.
The chart has sticky notes, with the names of the Winx fairies scattered about. Most of the fairies have multiple notes, but Layla and Roxy both have none.
CPG turns to the WordGirl characters, minus WordGirl herself since she is reading once again.
"Hello, everyone. As you can probably tell, Bella's Trade Off with the Winx fairies has been selected" she announces. TJ steps forward nervously.
"Um, why do you have their names written up there?" he asks. CPG laughs, in a creepy way.
"That will be revealed once the fairies arrive" she states, and as if on cue, the seven magical creatures fly in, while Bella quickly runs through the door.
"I made it this time!" Bella shouts with joy. CPG laughs.
"Yep! Now, if you fairies would kindly follow me..." the host waves her hand, and they nervously follow.
"This chart, can anyone guess what it's for?" CPG asks. Tecna raises her hand timidly.
"Um, is it perhaps used to keep track of our dares?" she guesses. CPG smiles and shakes her head.
"Oh, no. Using this chart... I can punish you" she says wickedly. Flora's eyes widen, but before she can share her fears, Stella jumps in.
"How come Layla and Roxy aren't on the chart?! That's not fair!" she whines. CPG laughs again.
"Perhaps I should explain better. I have many pairings with you, and should one of you annoy me, or refuse to do a dare, I will pull down a note with your name, find the pairing underneath the note, and announce it to everyone here, plus whoever is reading this... In addition, you will then be forced to kiss whomever was on the card. However, I do not pair Layla or Roxy with anyone in particular, so I'll have to give them different punishments" CPG explains. The fairies now look MUCH more frightened than before.
"Bella, how long will they stay here?" CPG asks, completely ignoring the shocked faces of... Pretty much everyone in the room.
"Uhm... How long is most convenient for you?" Bella mutters after a moment. CPG ponders this for a few seconds.
"How about two more chapters after this one?" CPG suggests. Bella nods in agreement.
"Great! So, I believe you had a dare for Bloom?" the host points out, causing the fairy mentioned to groan.
"Yep!... Come here, Bloom" Bella says, dragging Bloom over to a deserted, dusty corner.
"You have to give WordGirl a love potion, to make her fall in love with Two-Brains" the guest states. Bloom simply looks confused. Bella sighs.
"Just give me the potion, and I'll give it to her" she says in exasperation. Bloom looks down for a moment, then nods, handing over the potion.
Bella and Bloom walk back to the group, where CPG is waiting patiently.
"Here, WordGirl" Bella hands the superhero the potion.
"Uh... Thanks?" WordGirl mumbles, and looks at the host and guest for a moment, before sighing and drinking it.
Bella, Bloom and CPG watch her closely. For one minute. Then three. Then ten. Nothing happens.
"Bloom, was that a... Love potion?" Stella whispers to Bloom, who nods in response. Stella begins to stare at the hero, now.
After another twenty minutes, CPG sighs and turns to the camera.
"Well, whatever is going on, we'll figure it out... Until next time, remember to dare!" she waves at the camera until the screen goes black.
