Back in Alfea, it seems the Winx and Starz girls had all gotten a little concerned when Musa and Tegryn hadn't turned up for lunch. Eventually, they had finally managed to track them down to the infirmary, where they had all crowded into the small ward getting filled on on what had happened earlier and getting aquainted with their guest. Their happy chatter was interrupted by Tegryn poking his head through a portal in the wall.

"Hey guys... miss me?"

Musa's face brightened up immediately. "Hey hon, you took your time. What took you so long?"

"It's not my fault. Heatherfield's a big place."

"Heatherfield's not THAT big," said Will, who was sitting up in her bed, munching on some snacks and looking a lot healthier than before.

"It is when you're me!"

"Ah yes, the lousy sense of direction. I'd forgotten about that!"

"Heh. So anyway Will... you'll never guess who I found!"

That was the cue for four teenage girls to step into another world. Blinking, they looked around their new surroundings and the many pairs of curious eyes that were fixed upon them before they finally saw Will, smiling happily at them from the bed on which she sat.

"WILL!" they all screamed at once as they crowded round her for a much-needed group hug, and as that little reunion got underway, Musa was enjoying one of their own, embracing Tegryn, wrapping her arms gently behind his neck and gazing up at him adoringly.

"I missed you!"

"I missed you t..." he said before staggering forwards, his knees nearly giving way from under him. Startled, Musa caught him and helped him back to his feet as he regained his senses.

"Teggy! What's wrong?"

"Whoa!" he said, putting his hand on his forehead. "Major dizzy spell!"

"I'm not surprised, gallavanting between dimensions in your condition!" Ofelia said angrily as she stepped out of her office. "Dimension-jumping isn't a very good idea when you're concussed. Now come on, back in bed with you - and maybe this time you'll STAY in bed when I tell you!"

Tegryn didn't need telling twice as he obediently got back into bed and flopped back against the pillows, feeling a bit exhausted. As soon as Musa had lovingly pulled the covers over him, Tune plonked herself firmly onto his lap.

"Tune... what are you doing?" Musa asked, tittering.

"Making sure your fiancé behaves himself!" she answered back.

"Ah, I see what you mean - he really is a very naughty boy! Room for one more?" Musa asked cheekily as she picked the little pixie up, sat across his legs and placed her gently on her own lap before snuggling up to him. "There. Now we can keep an eye on him together!"

Tune couldn't help but giggle - her bond with Musa was especially strong even though their characters were completely different. Tune was elegant, refined, impeccably mannered and always spoke perfect Queen's English. On the other hand, Musa was flippant, fun-loving, easy-going, irreverant and spoke with plenty of slang mixed in, which, try as she might, poor little Tune just couldn't get her head around. But despite this massive contrast in personalities, they always knew what to say to support each other, or just to cheer each other up.

"Cool. Are you a pixie too?"

Tune turned around to be greeted with Cornelia, who was leant over the bed, her head resting on her hands, and gazing at her as though she was the cutest thing ever.

"Oh! Why, yes I am. My name is Tune." she replied, politely offering her dainty little hand, which Cornelia gently took in her own and shook.

"And I'm Cornelia. I'm very pleased to meet you. I gotta say, I love your hair, it's really pretty. And that dress... I love it, it's so you!"

Tune smiled happily. "Thank you, what a very kind thing to say. You certainly are a lovely, polite young lady, aren't you? Tegryn, why can't you be more like Cornelia here?"

"Because I'd look ridiculous with long blond hair."

"Huh! I suppose I should've expected an answer like THAT from you!" Tune replied, shaking her head. "So then Tegryn... aren't you going to introduce us to the other girls?"

"Of course, yes. Guys, you've already met Will and Cornelia. That's Taranee over there, with Hay Lin, and the funny little thing sitting next to me here is Irma!"

"Oi!" Irma said, laughing and jabbing him playfully in the ribs. As the fairies introduced themselves to their guests, Tegryn noticed Bloom and Stella whispering to one another and giggling.

"Hey guys, what's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing Teggy!" Stella replied, smiling innocently. Tegryn chuckled as Polli piped up with her trademark Eeeping.

"Stella! I don't know whether you've noticed or not, but I have a truth pixie sitting on my head and she's making a lot of noise right now! So spill!"

"Well... it's just that... me and Bloom couldn't help noticing how alike you and Irma look."

A hush fell across the room as everybody stared at Tegryn and Irma.

"Oh yes... it's true..." Will murmured.

"They got the same eyes, the same sort of hair..." Taranee noted.

"...and the same goofy grin!" Hay Lin smirked.

Tegryn and Irma looked at each other and blushed as a chorus of titters rose up.

"Aww, come on guys, knock it off! There's no way I look like him!" Irma protested. "I'm much cuter for a start!"

"Hee hee! Male Teggy... female Teggy... male Teggy... female Teggy!" Musa giggled.

"Never mind them," Charlotte said as she stepped forward and gave Tegryn a little cuddle. "Here. When I heard about you getting hurt, I got you this." His eyes lit up with delight as she handed him his present.

"A giant box of chocolates! Oh Charlotte, you're such a little sweetie!" he exclaimed gleefully. "Ah, my little sis always knows how to look after me!"

Irma looked on in astonishment as he tore the box open and, after offering them around, started to wolf the contents down.

"Teggy! You're not gonna eat ALL of 'em right now, are you? You'll get fat!"

Tegryn stopped and looked up. "Hmmm? Me, fat? No way!" he said as he tensed his stomach and hit it gently with his clenched fist "See? Rock hard abs! Not an ounce of flab!"

"Is that true?" Irma asked, turning to Musa.

"I guess so." she replied. "It certainly feels like it."

"What d'ya mean, it feels like it?"

"Well, I've touched his body enough times, but I've never actually seen him without a shirt on."

"You're kidding! You're engaged and you've never seen..."

"Nuh-uh!" Musa said, shaking her head.

"And I should hope so too!" Tune muttered. "Until the two of you are married, that would be most inappropriate."

"Well in that case..." Irma said as she leant forward and started whispering something into Musa's ear. Tegryn looked on suspiciously as the two girls started to snigger. He smiled uneasily - he didn't like the way this conversation was going, that was for sure. His suspicions were confirmed as they broke away from their secret pow-wow, smiled and nodded to each other.

Tegryn's curiousity was at a peak. What are these girls planning? What was about to go down?

He didn't have to wait long as, quite without warning, Irma sniggered and punched him in the stomach. As he lurched forward, winded and gasping for breath, Musa called the nurse into the room, trying to keep her face as straight as possible.

"Ofelia! Ofeeeeliaaaa!"

The nurse rushed to them. "What is it? What's the problem?"

"Teggy's having trouble breathing. Could you come and check his chest please?"

"Oh dear. Tegryn, are you feeling alright?"

"Yes... yes, I'll... be..." he spluttered.

"Well I'd better check you, just to be sure. Lean forward please."

Musa and Irma looked at each other with mischeivous glints in their eyes as Tegryn did as he was told, but to their dismay, rather than taking his shirt off and giving everyone an eyeful of his manly chest, Nurse Ofelia simply slipped her stethoscope up his back.

"Darn! So close!" Irma said to Musa, clicking her fingers in frustration. Tegryn responded in the most mature way possible - sticking his tongue out and blowing her a raspberry. There was only one thing to do now, and that was to tease her for all he was worth.

"Heh! Nice try, Little Teggy!"
