List of Problems

"We are the Winx…we are the join the club, we are the Winx…."

"That annoying ring tone again!" Stella growled. She made a mental note to change it as soon as possible, but it took her a long time to figure out how.

Maybe I'll ask Tecna, she decided, as she reached for her phone. Maybe it was Brandon, feeling lonely, all alone in bed. Maybe he needed someone to talk to, as since she was his girlfriend, she'd be the first choice….

She frowned when she saw an unknown number. She shrugged and decided to pick it up, anyway.

"Stella!" Riven. He was the last person she expected to hear from. Maybe he needed some advice regarding Musa? He had spent the night with her, after all….

A smile curved on her pink lips. "Hey sailor!" she teased, cheerfully. Riven was saying something, but she; as usual, wasn't listening. She just wanted to bombard him with questions. "How'd the night go?" he said something again; louder this time, but Stella was too caught up in the realization that had just hit her like cold water. She gasped, as she remembered they'd have intruders. Or had they already? "Hey, I heard Tecna and… and some friend of Musa's …Chinese name…don't remember it, anyway…."

"STELLA! GET YOUR BUTT DOWN TO RED FOUNTAIN! MY ROOM! USE YOUR TELEPORTER! IT'S AN EMERGENCY! NOW!" Riven was so loud, Stella dropped the phone in shock. She could still hear him as the phone hit the ground. She quickly snapped it up.

"But the rules….now?" she said, unsurely.

"NOW!"

"Can't it wait till morning?" she whined. "What's this about, anyway?'

"Stella, unless you want your friend to die this minute, you'll…"

"Coming!" Stella knew he was serious. She grabbed her nightgown and teleporter. Who possibly could be injured? I hope it's not Brandon!

"Room of Riven Elementarian, Red Fountain" she commanded the scepter.

Her vision got blurry and soon, she was standing in a black room full of weird things on the wall….totally uncolor-coordinated…she thought disapprovingly. That was until she saw Tecna, sprawled on the ground. "Tecna!" she screamed, rushing to her.

The Chinese girl was up, and blocked her. "what we need from you is not concern or sympathy, we don't need you to fuss over her, or her …" she indicated towards Musa's direction "but we need you to teleport us all, right now, to Alfea. Time is of the essence"

Stella glared at Kim. She never liked her. But she nodded, noticing Musa shaking terribly, and a teary eyed Riven holding her hand. They're so cute together…she thought, as she gave her scepter the command again. "Alfea" she cried.

There was spinning again. Stella felt slightly dizzy. They were outside the gates of the castle.

"Damn! Take her to that headmistress thing…" Riven growled, frustrated. Musa's grip over his hand was getting weaker.

Stella sighed. "Faragona's office!" she commanded again.

The spinning started again, and Stella was ready to throw up. Faragonda was sitting in her office, legs on the table, reading 'Wizards Gone Wild' magazine.

"Yes, darling, I am wearing a nightgown, the one you gave me last night…" she giggled. Her eyes widened in shock to see that it was not Saladin, but five teenagers, who had come into her office.

"What brings you her?" she asked, in embarrassment. "Attire" she said, as her normal clothes resumed there rightful place on her body, in attempt to cover her over-exposed self from the students.

Riven was the first to react. "Miss…miss…" he began. He didn't know her freaking name!

"Musa needs help! She's been hit but a spell from Tecna…a non-verbal one…she's really in a bad shape" Kim explained.

"Tecna…?" Stella gasped. She couldn't believe Tecna would do that. Was the Chinese girl lying? "What happened to Tecna?"

"Stunned with the heart of steel spell" said Kim coolly.

"But that's horrible!" said Stella.

"It's not fatal! I think Musa's in moral danger! She did this to her!" shouted Kim.

"QUIET!" Hollered Riven and Faragonda together.

Faragonda bent over Musa, examining her. Riven watched her nervously, as Kim and Stella silently glared at each other.

"Hmm…"

"What is it?" Riven asked tensely.

"Well, it seems we have proof Tecna was the one who cast the spell…I have never known anyone who can mix magic and technology so perfectly…"

"WILL SHE BE OKAY?" Riven asked loudly.

Faragonda smiled.

"Yes, dear….it seems that Musa's mind has been attacked with a series of problems…mathematical, word, logical, geometric…her brain is overloaded with this information…it a good thing you brought her here in time…she could have gone mad otherwise…"

"So what now?" asked Riven, looking like he was preparing to go insane, himself.

"We enter her mind!" Stella contributed, unexpectedly.

"Very good, miss Stella" Faragonda acknowledged her student.

"I'll get everyone" with that, Stella ran out of the office.

"What in fuck's name is going on!" screamed Riven.

"Language, Mr. Elementarian…" Faragonda said disapprovingly.

She spoke a few words, laying her hands on Musa's head, as a thin silvery cloud came out of it, growing in size.

"Prepare for a very long list of problems" she told Kim and Riven. "Do them as fast as possible…the quicker you work, the faster she gets better"

"How do we…"Kim began.

"Dive in…others will be here to help you soon" Faragonda explained, casually, as the nurse to took Tecna away. "I'd help, but I have more interesting things to do…ta ta…" with that, she vanished into a cloud of smoke.

"Well…better do what the old lady says" said Riven, as he plunged into Musa's mind.
