Hey guys! Please read the author's note at the end of the story before you log off as I have some amazing news! This chapter, on the other hand, is not that fabulous. I mean I wanted to give you guys something proper before school starts and this just came out

Bloom lied on the hard cold ground of the cave. Half her thoughts drifting endlessly to a certain guy she wished was here with her now, while the other half thought about her five best friends. She missed them endlessly and hoped to see everyone she knew soon. Domino's princess has also silently hoped that this mission without being together has somehow brought them closer. She hoped they were all alright.

The once selfish girl has by far matured into a beautiful selfless fairy. Bloom then proceeded to give herself a once over in the small pool of crystal clear water and with the minimal light that came into the cave, she could tell she was not that pretty from her reflection. She didn't care though, all she knew that the Winx was doing something as Bloom felt stronger, her Dragon Flame seems to be returning to her.

*Where the Winx are at*

The five girls gathered around in Stella's dorm room, discussing on the good things that happened so far. They have gathered that Bloom was improving and that the demon was aware of their strengths. What they feared was that the demon may call on a fight earlier than they expected and at least 2 to 3 of them have yet to earn their well-deserved transformations.

However, they refused to give up as they scheduled some hard core training with various professors that they could always trust when in trouble. Mainly, it was how much stress they could take before an official break down that worried them. They knew they would not want to give up but they were human as well, they can't go on forever. They knew at one point or another, if they failed continuously, they would give up all hope to find their best friend.

All 5 girls have realised that even if this mission have done them some good, it was certainly taking a toll on everyone. Yes, they have learnt to strongly appreciate Bloom's leadership instead of being jealous of it. The glue that brought them together was currently much stronger. However, again, they were only human.

"I've tracked her!" Tecna exclaimed, her voice full of glee. Her eyes filled with fresh hope as the four other girls crowded around her, all pairs of eyes on Tecna's computer screen.

"Gardenia?" Flora let out a breath of enquiry. Why had they not think of that in the past? It was the place Bloom would least likely be able to regain her magic. Yes, there was magic on Earth but it was far less powerful then what the magical dimensions could offer.

"I've got this idea forming in my head and I'm not sure if it will work but if we sprinkle some dust on the cave...would Bloom be able to regain her magic faster?" Musa, the highest achiever in class among the Winx, asked.

The rest replied with questionable nods, all wondering if this would help Bloom but how could they do it? It would be a very risky task for 3 fairies to go, they had to strategies and plan. This was something one would definitely not do on a daily basis. Of course, they wanted to consult the professors but yet they wanted to give it their all. They wanted to make Bloom proud that she was the leader of an amazing and independent team, instead of a weak and reliant one. That is if they manage to get her out.

There was no time to doubt though, the Winx girls had to have a clear mind in order to rescue Bloom. They have to act fast and work hard. Sacrifices have to be made yet they have to maintain at tip-top health and strength. Everything was needed to save their fairy friend, even if risk had to be taken, so Flora decided to speak up.

"How about Eternal Dust? I've been reading about it and realised it was more than fairy dust. It can ward off dark magic for a certain amount of time, we have to take the risk!" Flora voiced firmly.

The others by her side questioned the strategy silently in their head. After all, this could call on the demon to announce the fight earlier. They would be risking both their lives and Bloom's which was risky but they agreed.

"Let's do it," every other Winx fairy said in sync.

So hey darlings...I'm like back for a while before life will come crashing down on me. I'm not sure when will be the next time you see me, expect it either this month or when March starts, I'm just lowering your expectations

Either way, embrace the great news that I thought of a new story that I will start writing after I finish this time. It will be a continuation of this story but I won't exactly say what it is on. However, amazing good news that it is not a sequel because not everyone likes sequels but a spin-off. In fact, it will almost have 0 connection to this story apart from the fact that they will be continuing from this transformation.

Hope you are as excited as I am!

Love,

MeltingLove (no pun intended, I love you all)
