"Musa! Musa! Get up will you? It's almost time for classes!"
Bloom stood outside her bedroom door, waiting for a response. Stella joined her, finally ready after spending a typically long time preening herself.
"Hey Bloom, what's going on?" she asked as she munched on a nice healthy banana.
"Have you seen Musa anywhere?"
"Erm... nope. Why, isn't she in there?"
"I don't know."
"Well, why don't we look?"
Slowly, Bloom opened the door with a creak, and the two of them walked in.
"She's not in bed." Bloom said.
"And she's not in her bathroom either." Stella added. "But wherever she is, she's dressed." she said, pointing to Musa's pyjamas which had been left in a heap on the floor.
"Hmmm... maybe she's gone to the library, or gone to classes early."
"Musa? Gone to classes early? Has the whole realm gone mad?" Stella joked.
Bloom giggled. "Ah well, I guess it's nothing to worry about. May as well go and catch her up."
As the Winx Girls made their way along the corridors of Alfea, they were soon joined by the Starz.
"Hey guys, have any of you seen Musa?" Bloom asked.
"No, not today." said Charlotte. "Why, isn't she with you guys?"
Bloom shook her head. "We haven't seen her at all this morning. We're guessing she's gone to classes early."
"I hope you're right..."
Of course, Bloom and Stella were wrong - Musa, Tegryn and Polli were walking arm in arm up to the castle. Quite understandably, Musa was in a rather bubbly mood.
"Oooh, I can't wait to see the guy's faces! They're gonna be so stoked!" she said as they approached the front door. "Come on Teggy, hurry up - let's go in!"
Tegryn stopped. "No... hang on a minute."
"Why, what's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong - it's just that, well, if we want to make an impression, we can't just go walking in like normal, can we?"
"O-kay," said Musa, a little bit confused. "So... what do you wanna do?"
"This!" he said as he quickly swept her up off her feet and cradled her in his arms like some brave knight carrying a damsel in distress.
"Ooh, my hero!" she giggled girlishly.
Back inside, the girls were walking down the main staircase.
"Hey, what's that!" Charlotte said, pointing to a large brown object lying in the middle of the floor. Everyone ran up to it to check it out. "It's Teggy's rucksack! He's back!" she squealed excitedly. "He's back, he's back!"
"So where is he?"
Bloom's question was answered in the most dramatic way possible, as the front doors opened with a slam to reveal two figures standing there, one holding the other in his arms, silhouetted in the bright daylight. The girls stood there, squinting in the glare of the sun as they tried to make out their faces.
"Hey guys! Look what I found!" Musa called out to them.
"Did you miss me?" Tegryn added.
"Teggy! It IS you!" Charlotte yelled as she sprinted up to them. Tegryn barely had enough time to put Musa down before his friend was hugging him tightly. "I knew you come back! I knew everything would be okay! Oh, I've missed you!" she cried happily.
"We've all missed you Teggy. Welcome back!" Bloom added, just about managing to get a little welcome-back hug of her own in before the other girls were crowded round them, chattering happily as Musa regaled them of how he had rescued her and Polli from the Trix's clutches. This carried on for a few minutes, before the small crowd parted.
Tegryn blinked. There before him was...
"Yuni..."
They stood there in an awkward silence, both looking down at the ground nervously for a brief moment which seemed to last for ages.
"I'm... I'm glad you're back." Anyuna said uneasily.
"Yeah," Tegryn replied, not quite sure how to handle this situation. "Erm... are you okay?"
"I'm okay." she answered. Another long awkward silence. "Umm... I've just remembered, I've left some books in my room. I'll see you later!"
Tegryn looked on as she ran up the corridor, a sad heavy feeling welling up in his heart. He sighed. He and Anyuna had always been good friends but now that was ruined, and through no fault of their own too. Yet another reason to hate those three witches.
"Teggy? Teggy, are you okay?" Musa asked as she and the others looked on in concern. She couldn't help but notice the way he felt so uncomfortable around Anyuna, and she had easily guessed what was going on in his mind. "Teggy, she knows you were hypnotised when... THAT... happened."
"Yes," he sighed heavily, "But even so... it WAS me who did that to her..."
