It is the first day of school and April is on her way to her fist class when Miss. Faragonda's voice is heard through the speakers.
"Attention freshmen students," begins Miss. Faragonda. "On the first Saturday of the school year we're hosting a freshman dance to welcome you all. The freshmen of Red Fountain School of Heroism are joining us as guests of honor. Thank you and enjoy a wonderful first year." That brings a smile to April's face, she knows which dress she's going to wear.
Cloud Tower, School for Witches
Here we come to meet a witch that is connected to April's destiny. Her name is Crystal. She is starting her sophomore year here at Cloud Tower. She was one of the witches that was with Selina when she enrolled last year. She only has the ability to make copies of powers in the form of a crystal small enough to put on a necklace that she can channel like it is her own abilities. When The Twix captured The Zaltora School for Psychic Arts she made a copy of the power of their school and now whears that crystal around her neck on a gold chain underneath her blouse. When The Twix had been defeated and Headmistress Griffin had the freshmen retake the entrance exam she turns herself invisible so that no one will see her use the copy of The Zaltora's School's power to make another freshman embarrass herself, therefore she was able to pass it up as her own ability. That is how she got into Cloud Tower. Due to The Twix having control over the school for most of the school year everyone is ordered to go to summer school in order to move on to the next level.
All the students are gathered in the Auditorium, Professor Griffin is sitting on the throne on stage.
"Good afternoon girls," greets Professor Griffin. "I trust your first day of school is full of wonderful mayhem. I have quite the surprise lined up for kicking off the school year. This year you will be inventing your own pranks. You'll write them down in at least two pages, double spaced, and the best from each school level will win their chance to use their plan to ruin a magical school's welcoming celebration. May the baddest witch win." As the students files out Crystal uses the copy of The Zaltora School's powers to implant the thought into the back of Professor Griffin's mind to switch names on her paper with the student with the best plan and then giving that one to her secretly. She also give her the thought of giving her Alfea to do it on. After she is done she continues on with an evil grin on her face.
The day before the big day
Crystal is standing in Professor Griffin's office with three other students in front of the owner of the office. True to what she did to the headmistress she got Alfea as the target school, the school with the best powers in all of Magix. In her dorm room she finds an envelope addressed to her from Professor Griffin containing plans to a wicked prank that's not the one she submitted, but has her name on it.
"Can this day get any better?" She says to herself.
At Alfea on the day of the dance
April is in ballroom wearing the dress she picked out. It's, long, dark blue and with lace as the fabric in front of her chest. She chose a pair of black high heel shoes for her feet and sapphire hanging earrings for her ears. She is dancing by herself to the music that is playing. The Winx Club are playing for them live. She stops when some one taps her on the shoulder, it is Griselda wanting April to follow her to a more quiet area to talk. They stop at the edge of the room on the other side of where the music is.
Crystal is being invisible near where Griselda takes April. She has just finished setting up the prank that she manipulated Professor Griffin into giving her and has started making copies of the fairies' powers. She is doing Roxy's powers over animals when she overhears something very interesting, so she listens to it.
"Griselda, what are you doing?" asks Miss. Faragonda joining the small group. "This is a party."
"I want to speak to miss. April on the subject of her classes," replies Griselda. "She is doing too well in every subject from day one. I want to know how she's doing it."
"To tell you the truth I am confused about that too," admits April. "Before I study I didn't know anything about the subject. But when I touch a book while thinking of the subject I need to learn I suddenly know it before even opening the book. That has been going on for as long as I can remember. I've just been passing it off as a photographic memory when people ask me that question. That other day when I first transformed I was focusing on what I've learned about the robot, the next thing I know, I have wings. I'm telling you all this so that you can help me understand what's going on." Once she's finished with her rant she lets out her breath she was holding. Suddenly a brooch in the shape of a pocket flashes on the right side of her chest and something that looks like a book bag flashes around her hips.
"What was that?" exclaims April.
"That my dear is a charmix," explains Miss. Faragonda. "Fairies get them when they've expressed something about themselves that is very hard to do. It will give you a power boost when you call upon it. As for what is going on with you I would guess is that your source of power comes from knowledge. You have the ability to absorb knowledge from anything you touch."
"Oh, this one I gotta have," thinks Crystal. She makes herself look like another Alfea student before turning visible and pretends to stumble into April.
"Oh, I'm sorry," says Crystal as she pockets the crystal containing a copy of April's power to absorb knowledge.
"No, it's OK," responds April. Crystal leaves April and the two Alfea staff members to seek out her next target.
"Great," cheers Crystal in her head as she returns to being invisible. "With this I'll be able to hunt down a way to bring back The Twix. They are the true dark witches of all the realms." She spots Daphne, who she knows were The Winx's adviser during their last encounter with The Twix.
"Hm, let's see what she knows about my question," Crystal thinks with an evil smile on her face. She uses her newest ability on Daphne. And learns that The Legendarium book and key are with Eldora and Selina on Earth. She leaves Daphne dazed, as a side effect of the knowledge drain, while she goes to the stage where The Winx are leaving to take a break. She appears in the same disguise and produces a pen and enough sheets of paper for them to sign. She shakes each of their hands before handing them a slip of paper for an autograph. As they sign them Crystal pockets the crystal containing copies of their powers over their elements. Afterwards Crystal takes the signed paper slips and leaves the school invisible while Miss. Faragonda recites a speech so that she doesn't get caught in the same prank she set up for the unsuspecting fairies and heroes. A while more she leaves for Cloud Tower as the screams of fairies and heroes rings through the air and The Winx Club trying to calm down the chaos in the ball room. The screams were caused by the potion that Crystal rigged to fall on their heads that will make everyone see the things they think is the grossest thing in the world.
