~Alfea Kitchen~
Grace, Cloud, Dandelia, Rosa, Solara, Miranda, Lantana, Rainbow, Aspen, Treva, Berline, Heidi, Jasmine, Emerald, Yasmine, Katrina, Roxy, Bloom, Flora, Musa and Tecna were in the kitchen, cutting some potatoes.
"Okey dokey, girls. Five hundred potatoes down." Flora said.
"So that means only five hundred more to go." Tecna said.
"Are you kidding me!? This is exhausting!" Dandelia complained as Grace, Cloud, her, Rosa, Solara, Miranda, Lantana, Rainbow, Aspen, Treva, Berline, Heidi, Jasmine, Emerald, Yasmine, Katrina, Roxy, Bloom, Flora, Musa, and Tecna are seen peeling potatoes.
"You know what? I'll feel like a dork if this doesn't work." Bloom said.
"Don't worry about it, Bloom." Grace said.
"Well, where did you find the formula?" Musa asked.
"It was in the new fairies self-improvement guide. So, I mean it should work." Bloom said as she throws off her apron and floats in air.
"A thousand potatoes, a bushel of whipweed, a magic backflip, and your good decisions on the next day. It said good judgment is guaranteed." Cloud said floating next to her and doing a magic front flip until Chef Sfoglia walks in the kitchen.
"I thought I heard itty-bitty voices. What are you girls doing my kitchen, ah?" Chef Sfoglia asked them.
"Hey, Uncle Chef Sfoglia. Nothing much, just cooking." Lantana said.
"I can see that, Lantana." Chef Sfoglia said.
"Working on an experiment project for potion class." Bloom said.
"Look at this place, a mess." Chef Sfoglia said.
"Don't worry, we'll clean it up, Uncle Chef Sfoglia." Lantana reassured him.
"The potion lab was signed out." Tecna said.
"Relax, micetro. Have a spud." Musa said.
"My sprio potatoes. You're using my babies! And what is this all about?!" Chef Sfoglia exclaimed as he points at the frying pan while they are cooking omelets.
"That's dinner!" Flora said as Grace, Cloud, Dandelia, Rosa, Solara, Miranda, Lantana, Rainbow, Aspen, Treva, Berline, Heidi, Jasmine, Emerald, Yasmine, Katrina, Roxy, Bloom and Musa walks to the frying pans.
"We're cooking omelets!" Grace exclaimed.
"We got hungry!" Bloom said.
"That is not how to cook." Chef Sfoglia said.
"Hey, how hard can it be to make an omelet?!" Musa exclaimed.
"Trust me. It's not that easy, I can tell you that. But I managed to get it right." Lantana said showing them her omelet.
"I have taught Lantana how to cook when she was younger. You have to show love to your food." Chef Sfoglia said as Flora flips her omelet. "You cannot neglect it. You must put passion into your cooking." Musa almost misses her omelet. Bloom accidentally flips the omelet on the fan. Grace, Cloud, Dandelia, Rosa, Solara, Miranda, Lantana, Rainbow, Aspen, Treva, Berline, Heidi, Jasmine, Emerald, Yasmine, Katrina and Roxy caught theirs right on time. "Not that much passion! At least, Lantana and her friends knows how to cook."
"I guess I'll get a ladder." Bloom said.
"Don't worry I got it." Flora said as she flicks the switch up and down. The fan speeds up.
"I don't think that's it." Tecna said.
"Oh, this is going to be bad." Aspen said uneasily.
"Go little omelet spinning like a DJ! Like it's your birthday! Like you got your biggest fan gonna surf you like a ham... (rap)" Musa said rapping.
"Knock it off! I see you need instruction in singing as well as cooking in the kitchen! It is the music of juice not leftovers!" Chef Sfoglia said as the omelet drops on his head.
"Are you okay, Uncle Chef Sfoglia?" Lantana asked him, concern.
"Yes, I'm fine, dear Lantana. Normally, I'd find this funny but as I am the one with the omelet on my face, I do not laugh!" Chef Sfoglia said as he wipes off the omelet. "Now hurry up with this project. You might want to be done when the headmistress walks in here."
"The whipweed is almost done." Flora said as she checks the oven.
"That's good." Miranda said and Stella walks in.
"So, what's the sit in the kitch, girls?!" Stella asked them.
"You being fashionable late can only mean a social engagement." Tecna said.
"Yeah, I know I totally said I'd but... you're just gonna let me play a good excuse card today!" Stella said.
"Oh yeah, what's the excuse this time?" Bloom asked.
"Come on, Stella. Let's hear it." Treva urged her.
"I just received a late minute invitation." Stella said as she holds up a piece of paper.
"Another shoe of the month club?" Musa asked her.
"From Prince Sky! He invited me to some place called "The Black Lagoon Cafe" tonight!" Stella exclaimed as she showed them the letter.
"Oh!" Flora said.
"A handwritten note, you go Stella. Woo!" Musa cheered.
"I'm so happy for you, Stella!" Solara shouted in happiness.
"Thank you, Solara! I've been trying to figure out what to wear but I'm in desperate need of second opinions." Stella pleaded.
"Say no more!" Bloom winked at her.
~Stella's Room, Alfea~
"You got a whole other row back there!" Bloom said, shocked at the sight of another row of Stella's dresses behind her primary set of dresses.
"Doesn't this guy Sky lose points because of the short notice?" Tecna asked.
"Yes, but he gets bonus points for the formal invitation!" Stella exclaimed as Flora took out a black dress.
"You think I could borrow this sometime. I don't wear much black and I..." Flora said.
"Hello! Focus Flora, we are here to help me!" Stella yelled as Tecna took out one of Stella's dresses.
"I guess there is an excellent story behind this pageant. Where in the realms did you get that thing?!" Tecna asked her.
"I designed it!" Stella said.
"Oh well it's very..." Tecna started but didn't know what to say.
"Very what?" Stella asked.
"Oh-oh..." Musa said as she stifled a laugh. Bloom picked out another one of Stella's dresses.
"What about this one?" Bloom asked her.
"Perfect, Bloom!" Stella exclaimed.
"So, will Brandon be there?" Bloom asked her.
"No, he gave his servant the night off." Stella said.
"Oh, that is so not cool, Stella." Jasmine said.
"Ah, Brandon is not Prince Sky's servant! The correct term is first royal squire!" Bloom scoffed.
"Talk to me about these heels. Too intense?" Stella asked, ignoring Bloom.
"No, but they're not very practical." Tecna replied.
"Musa, be a dear and give me that green chest." Stella said.
"Of course, your highness." Musa mocked as she carried the heavy chest. "What's in there?" Stella opened the chest with her foot.
"Oh, just a few accessories!" Stella said.
"Just a few?" Flora asked.
"Don't ask, Flora." Emerald said.
"Hey! The ring of Solaria. You know what, I don't know. Bloom, would you keep an eye on this for me?" Stella asked Bloom as she gave it to her.
"You're not gonna wear it?" Bloom asked.
"Nah, when I have it I tend to cast love spells before I know the guy. Besides, something tells me that I won't be needing any magic tonight." Stella said as she twirled around.
"I don't understand. Why do you let yourself get so judged up on seeing some guy?" Tecna asked Stella.
"Yo, does anybody smell that?" Musa asked as black smoke began to come into the room.
"Something burning!" Rosa shouted as she sniffed the air.
"That's stinky!" Stella said.
"It's the whipweed! Tecna said in panic.
~Alfea Hallway~
"Quick! Out of the way! Coming through! Come on hurry up!" Musa yelled as she runs out of the room. A student drops her books. Grace, Cloud, Dandelia, Rosa, Solara, Miranda, Lantana, Rainbow, Aspen, Treva, Berline, Heidi, Jasmine, Emerald, Yasmine, Katrina, Roxy, Tecna, Bloom and Flora ran after her.
"Hello! We're not done!" Stella yelled.
"Good luck tonight, Stella!" Bloom yelled back to her.
"Have a good time!" Musa also yelled back to her.
"We'll need this." Flora said as she took a fire extinguisher.
~Alfea Kitchen~
Grace, Cloud, Dandelia, Rosa, Solara, Miranda, Lantana, Rainbow, Aspen, Treva, Berline, Heidi, Jasmine, Emerald, Yasmine, Katrina, Roxy, Bloom, Musa, and Tecna rush inside.
"At least the flipweed is well done!" Bloom said as they saw the smoke.
"Well and done are two words rarely used together whenever you girls are involved. I can't wait to hear the explanation for this one." Griselda said as she came in.
"What's up, Miss G?" Musa flinched.
"Air Roll-Ups!" Griselda casted as the smoke disappears in Griselda's hand. "The maestro tells me that you're purloined..."
"I'm here!" Flora said but she trips and accidentally sprays the extinguisher, causing Griselda to get sprayed.
"Since you're having such a good time in the kitchen, you can spend the rest of the night here, cooking dinner for the entire school!" Griselda said as she left the kitchen.
"She didn't say that while we're here that..." Musa said.
"That we could still finish the potion. Hmm?" Bloom said as she looked at her.
~Cloud Tower's Hallway~
"You think she got the invitation?" Darcy asked.
"I know she did. Knut said she jumped up and down squealing." Icy said.
"Actual squealing. I would've gagged off the spot!" Darcy said.
"Love is so lame." Stormy said.
"Know why this plan rules? 'Cause we get to kill two nuts on a foot stall." Icy said.
"What?!" Darcy and Stormy exclaimed.
"You see? Not only is the ring of Solaria gonna fall into our hands but, we get to break Stella's precious heart. I can't tell you how much I love watching a little pixie get her heart broken." Icy smirked.
~Flora and Bloom's Dorm, Alfea~
"And what's Riven's problem?! Why doesn't he ask me out like how Sky did Stella?" Musa asked, frustrated.
"What?" Tecna questioned her.
"I'm just saying..." Musa stated.
"Well, I've taken the potion and it should start working in the morning." Bloom said.
"Musa wants to go out with Riven." Tecna said.
"But he was mega rude last week! Well, he was nice to Grace and the others, and he gets along with them." Bloom exclaimed in shock.
"Well, I did read that some boys will act rude when they are crushing." Tecna explained.
"Yeah well that could be it." Bloom said, convinced.
"So, you think I should call him?" Musa asked her.
"Ask tomorrow when her good judgment spell kicks in." Tecna said as Musa and Bloom began to laugh.
~Morning at Alfea~
Grace, Cloud, Dandelia, Rosa, Solara, Miranda, Lantana, Rainbow, Aspen, Treva, Berline, Heidi, Jasmine, Emerald, Yasmine, Katrina and Roxy were sleeping in their dorms when they heard Stella scream in her dorm. It startled them as they soon began to wake up.
"Stupid dorm! Ahh!" Stella (Darcy) raged.
"What in the world!?" Grace exclaimed.
"Is that Stella!?" Cloud questioned.
"It sure is." Dandelia said.
"I never heard her shout like that." Rosa said.
"Me neither." Solara agreed.
"I think we should check it out." Miranda suggested.
"Yeah." Lantana nodded.
"There could be something wrong with her." Roxy said.
"Then, let's go." Rainbow said as they all got out of bed.
~Flora and Bloom's Room~
Bloom and Flora woke up.
"What's going on? You hear that?" Flora asked Bloom.
"Is that Stella?" Bloom asked.
"Hey, girls. And yes, that is Stella." Aspen said as she opened their door.
"She didn't wake us up last night. I wonder how the date went." Flora wondered.
"Rahhhh!" Stella (Darcy) continued to rage on.
"Doesn't sound like it went too well. Come on, let's get the scoop." Bloom said as she pressed her ear against the wall and she, Flora, and Roxy went out of the dorm.
"Hey Bloom, is the good decision potion working?" Flora asked her.
"I don't know yet. It's supposed to be..." Bloom said as Musa and Tecna opened their dorm room door when they heard something crash.
"We need to figure out what's wrong with Stella. Grace, Cloud, Dandelia, Rosa, Solara, Miranda, Rainbow, Aspen and I go to our class while you girls, Lantana, Berline, Heidi, Jasmine, Emerald, Yasmine, Katrina and Roxy talk to Stella to see what's wrong." Treva told them as Grace, Cloud, Dandelia, Rosa, Solara, Miranda, Lantana, Rainbow, Aspen and her left and headed towards Professor Wizgiz's class.
~Outside Of Stella's Room~
"That sounded expensive." Musa said as they heard something break.
"Stella! Everything alright?!" Bloom yelled, knocking on the door.
"I don't think that's a good decision." Flora said, worried.
"Stella?" Heidi asked again.
"Hiya, what's up?" Stella (Darcy) smiled nervously as she opened her door.
"We were going to ask that. What are you doing in there? What's with all the noise?" Tecna asked.
"Ah, nothing. Just...just doing a little cleaning. A little reorganizing." Stella (Darcy) said.
"Uh-huh." Lantana said in suspicion.
"So, what time did you get in last night? We didn't hear you." Berline said.
"How did the date go? We expect every detail." Flora said.
"I got in late and the date went fine, okay?" Stella (Darcy) said.
"Wait, you're not getting off that easy. C'mon tell, tell!" Bloom urged her.
"Yeah, tell us!" Roxy smiled.
"Uh, it was very romantic..." Stella (Darcy) said, looking at the side.
"Did he walk you home? Did he kiss you good night?" Bloom asked her eager to know more.
"Uh come on! Don't you people have your own lives!? How totally pathetic! Uh!" Stella (Darcy) sneered as she slammed the door shut.
"I'll show her pathetic." Musa ranted as she was about to go to Stella, but Bloom stopped her.
"Take it easy, Musa. Let's leave her alone." Bloom sighed sadly but Lantana narrowed her eyes at the door in suspicion as she felt a negative power coming from her.
~Professor Wizgiz' Class~
"You girls look marvelous. Now, let's get your normal heads back. Focus and repeat after me. Decapadunkin!" Wizgiz casted.
"Decapadunkin!" The class repeated as their heads returned to normal except one.
"Wow! That was awesome!" Bloom giggled.
"You got that right, Bloom!" Yasmine exclaimed, smiling.
"Uh! Professor Wizgiz! It didn't work! What do I do!? What do I do?" Spica panicked.
"Don't be alarmed, Miss Spica. All this means that you're thinking too hard about the pumpkin still." Wizgiz said.
"I can't help it! What do I do?! Get my head back!" Spica panicked again as Wizgiz digs in his pocket.
"You need a good scare. Let's see. Ah, here we go." Wizgiz said as he took out a mouse and the mouse roared.
"Ahhh! Get it away!" Spica screamed and her head returned to normal.
"We'll find the antidote one day, Grandpa. I promise." Wizgiz smiled, promising the mouse.
"Thanks, Wizzy." Wizgiz's Grandpa smiled thankfully at Wizgiz as he went back into his pocket and the school bell rang.
"For our first full body transformation tomorrow, we'll keep it simple and easy. You'll be transforming into slugs." Wizgiz said.
"Ewww!" The class shouted in disgust.
"That is disgusting and horrifying!" Emerald shouted and shuddered in disgust.
"Not to me, it isn't." Lantana giggled.
"Of course." Katrina sighed, smiling and shaking her head.
~Outside Wizgiz's Class~
"Stella really said that to you girls!? I don't believe it!" Dandelia exclaimed in disbelief.
"Believe it, Dandelia. And guess Little Miss All-That decided not to come to class." Musa said.
"Something must of really troubling her. I hope she's okay." Flora said, worried.
"Who cares? She was beyond rude this morning!" Tecna huffed.
"I know, Tecna. But still." Flora said.
"I have to go with Flora on this one, Tecna and Musa. The Stella we know wouldn't say that or skip class." Cloud said.
"Yeah, me too. She's our friend. Something's up. Let me go check on her real quick." Bloom said.
"You're the one with the good judgment." Musa shrugged.
"Wait, Bloom! Let me go with you! I need to confirm something of my suspicions about her!" Lantana shouted as she followed her, and she nodded.
"What about Palladium's class?!" Flora yelled to them.
"We'll be right back! Just give us a minute." Bloom said.
"Yeah, it shouldn't take us long!" Lantana yelled back to Flora.
~Winx's Dorm; Lantana's~
"Stella! Whoa." Bloom gasped as she opened the door and saw the mess in our dorm.
"What happened here!?" Lantana exclaimed as we went inside.
"Stella! You in here?!" Bloom yelled as she opened Stella's dorm. "We missed you in..." She and Lantana gasped when we saw that she was not in there. "Stella where are you?! What's going on?!" We ran out and she opened another door. "This isn't funny! Stella!"
"This is no time to play hide n seek, Stella!" Lantana shouted as Bloom opened Tecna and Musa's dormroom and we walked up. Stella (Darcy) closes the door shut.
"Well welcome to the party, Bloom and Lantana." Stella (Darcy) smiled evilly.
"Huh." Bloom said as we turned around.
"Hmm." Lantana hummed as she narrowed her eyes on her. Stella (Darcy) walks towards Bloom and me.
"Hey, we, we were uh...worried about you Stella." Bloom said nervously.
"Yeah, so what's up, Stella?" Lantana asked, raising her right eyebrow.
"Really? How sweet. Now, I'm looking for something and I need both of your help. What's wrong?" Stella (Darcy) asked and growled as we backed up.
"Nothing! Just chill out!" Bloom exclaimed.
"Bloom, Lantana, I'm not in the mood!" Stella (Darcy) yelled as she threw a chair to the side. "Ahh!"
"Look if your date didn't go well; I mean don't take it out on-" Bloom started to say but was interrupted.
"I wanna know where my magic ring is, Bloom and Lantana! And you're gonna tell me right now!" Stella (Darcy) demanded pointing her finger at us as lantana narrowed her eyes at her. She's being even more suspicious.
"You don't know? You should be able to know, Stella! And you should know what your ring is called!" Lantana exclaimed, glaring at her and she glared back.
"I don't have to tell you, I got it! You gave it to me last night, you said to keep an eye on it!" Bloom said.
"You've got the ring!? Well, hand it over you little brat!" Stella (Darcy) exclaimed as she blasts Bloom and lantana with her powers.
"Stella, wait! What- AHH!" Bloom yelled.
"Darkness Resistant!" Lantana shouted as she got in front of Bloom and conjured up a black energy circular shield in front of us and absorbed the witch ball.
"Give it to me!" Stella (Darcy) yelled.
"They're in here!" Musa yelled from outside of the dorm.
"We're coming, Bloom and Lantana!" Tecna yelled.
"I don't know what's gotten into you but-!" Bloom said but Lantana interrupted her.
"Bloom, don't bother. That's not Stella! The Stella we know wouldn't have negative energy and threw a witch ball at us. That is an imposter! Tell us who you are, or I'll have to cast a spell on you to show yourself." Lantana demanded as she glared at her. Stella (Darcy) gives a huff and escapes through the window. "Come back here!" Lantana shouted as the wind blew in the dorm.
"Hurry girls!" Flora exclaimed as Bloom gasp, and lantana covered her face.
"She threw the chair at you both?!" Tecna asked in shock.
"No, she threw the chair at the wall." Bloom corrected her.
"Yep." Lantana said, nodding in agreement.
"She threw a raging witch ball at Bloom and Lantana!" Miranda exclaimed.
"Um, well, that's better!" Musa said sarcastically.
"Why is she being such a fuddy?" Flora asked.
"There is a technical term for the way she's acting: crazzzy!" Tecna exclaimed.
"No, you guys. That's not it." I protested.
"I think there's more to it than that. She's in danger! I-I don't know what kind of danger, but my new powers of judgement are telling me we have to do something!" Bloom said.
"I don't understand why we have to do anything. If she wants to act like a stuck up witch that's her deal!" Musa said.
"But what if she's being forced to act against her will?! She could have some sort of spell on her!" Flora said.
"Exactly, but I don't sense any spell on her. Because this Stella is an imposter! The real Stella could be in danger. As far as I know, no fairy can throw a witch ball except me. It's impossible for another fairy to do so, even Stella." Lantana explained.
"That's what I'm saying! Look, we've gotta work together, you know, to solve this mystery!" Bloom exclaimed.
"Okay Bloom but how?" Tecna asked her.
"Well obviously this has something to do with last night." Flora said.
"What happened last night?" Solara asked.
"She was fine before she went out." Bloom answered me.
"So, what happened?" Tecna asked.
"Why don't we find out from suspect number one, Prince Sky of Eraklyon." Musa suggested as she picks up the letter Prince Sky (Brandon) sent to Stella. "Here's the invitation."
"Good call!" Bloom said.
"Let's go talk to Sky." Rosa said as they left.
~Red Fountain~
"First stop: Red Fountain." Bloom said.
"You really have no idea what we're talking about?" Flora asked.
"Can you say that one more time?" Rainbow asked in confusion.
"Not that I wouldn't ask her out but ever since that little incident with the troll and the swamp we haven't been allowed to leave campus, so uh, that makes dating a little difficult." Sky (Brandon) said. Bloom holds up Sky (Brandon)'s invitation to read it again. Sky (Brandon) takes notice. "Wait, what's that in your hand? Huh?" He asked as he took the invitation.
"Your invitation." Flora said.
"What does it say?" Sky (Brandon) asks when Riven appears, carrying something.
"Sky spent so much time on his royal throne he never learned how to read! Hah-hah-hah-hah!" Riven mocked and laughed as Grace and the others rolled their eyes and glared at him.
"Laugh away Riven 'cause nobody else is going to!" Bloom yelled when a dog barked and was bothering Tecna.
"Yes, that's a good little cainus carnivorous. Go away...!" Tecna panicked.
"They don't actually handle where you come from do they, Tecna?" Sky (Brandon) asked her, smiling.
"Lady! Come sit girl." Brandon (Sky) said.
"She ignores everyone but Brandon." Sky (Brandon) said.
"Hey there Brandon..." Bloom greeted him.
"Hi, Bloom..." Brandon (Sky) greeted her back as Solara smiled at them.
"Less flirting, more fighting, boys! You're not in moner school, you're in heroic school! Now get back to your practice and then finish cleanin' those stables!" Codatorta ordered as he left.
"You got it professor, right away!" Sky (Brandon) said.
"That's Codatorta the terrible, we should probably get going." Brandon (Sky) said.
"Sorry I couldn't be more help guys." Sky (Brandon) apologized.
"It's okay." Aspen said, waving her hand off.
"See you later!" Brandon (Sky) said as the two of them head for their duties.
"Bye guys! What now?" Flora asked.
"Looks like someone else might've sent that letter pretending to be Sky." Treva theorized.
"This is weird... Let's go to Magix." Bloom said.
~Magix City~
"The invitation says to meet at the Black Lagoon Cafe." Bloom said.
"My search engine couldn't find it!" Tecna exclaimed.
"That's okay, we still haven't tried my search engine!" Bloom said.
"You have a search engine too?" Flora asked her.
"Yeah, and it's real easy to operate! Watch!" Bloom said as she walked up to a person passing by. "Sir, have you heard of the Black Lagoon?"
"No, that doesn't ring a bell." Man said as Flora walked up to a woman walking her dog.
"Ma'am, can I ask you a question?" Flora asked as Musa asked two other people.
"I think it might be a restaurant, but it might be a club." Musa guessed.
"Uh... no." Man and Woman said.
"Well there is a Black Eyed Pea but that's a lagoon not a lagoon." Another man said and Flora shrugs.
"Nope!" A Blue Hair Guy said. The girls are sitting on the sidewalk.
"I'm so tired!" Berline whined, exhausted from walking.
"My feet are killing me!" Flora grunted.
"I don't understand! How could nobody in Magix have heard of this place?!" Bloom ranted.
"It looks to me that someone has this whole thing set up." Heidi mumbled frowning.
"Maybe someone just played a joke on Stella and put her in a bad mood!" Musa said.
"No way! I know what I saw. No fairy can conjure a witch ball. You have to be a witch to do that! And far as we know, Stella is NOT a witch! She's a FAIRY!" Lantana retaliated.
"We know, Lantana. And no one's doubting you. But you know, I think Musa's right, let's just go back to Alfea." Tecna said.
"But we can't just give up!" Jasmine exclaimed.
"You're right, we can't. Just give me a minute to think." Bloom said.
"Bloom, just because you took that potion doesn't mean you're in charge!" Tecna retorted.
"Whoa, Tecna! That is so not cool! You know Bloom wouldn't take the potion for that!" Emerald exclaimed.
"I'm sorry if I care about our friend!" Bloom retorted back.
"Okay, people now just relax!" Flora exclaimed.
"Tecna!" Bloom said.
"Bloom!" Tecna said.
"Cut it out, you two!" Yasmine said, stopping them.
"Did I just hear you cats say you were looking for the Black Lagoon Cafe? Wow, man! That joint is like the hippest tip! You know, what I'm sayin'? It's like totally underground! You cats have got to check it out, though maybe you're not cool enough." Strange Man (Knut) said as Lantana looked at him in suspicion and caution.
"What?" Tecna asked.
"No, no!" Flora retaliated.
"We're cool! We're super cool!" Bloom pleaded.
"Yeah, we rock! We were hip when hip wasn't hip! Now, come on, you gotta tell us where this place is!" Musa begged.
"Hey, I just had to make sure! You know how it is! You guys are alright! Just take a shot down this street there, follow it all the way out of town, cross the river and you're there! It's a little cottage near an orange oak tree." Strange Man (Knut) implied.
"Awesome! Thank you so-" Bloom was about to thank him but the guy (Knut) disappeared.
"Oh! That's weird." Tecna said.
"You can say that again." Katrina said.
"Uh, where'd he go?" Flora asked.
"I have no idea." Tecna said.
"I think that's how hipsters are. They leave without saying goodbye." Bloom guessed.
"I don't know about that. I think we should be cautious about that guy." Lantana said as they continued their way to the Black Lagoon Cafe. The man (Knut) is hiding from them, laughing at his success.
~The Black Lagoon Café~
"We need to be careful here. There's something wrong in the air." Cloud said.
"Awesome! His directions were right!" Bloom exclaimed.
"Potion or no potion, I have a bad feeling about it." Tecna said.
"You're not the only one, Tecna." Dandelia said.
"Well, there's the orange oak tree." Bloom said.
"And this must be the Black Lagoon Cafe? It's precious but uh." Flora said.
"When we get back to Alfea, you should upgrade your search program." Musa said.
"My search program works fine! It's this place that isn't right!" Tecna said.
"It's true. This place feels eerie and dark." Lantana said.
"I agree with Tecna and Fidela, this place is very, very wrong." Flora said as she walked over to the orange oak tree and touched it with her hand.
"What do you mean?" Bloom asked.
"This tree isn't giving off life force. It's." Flora said but stopped.
"It's what?" Bloom asked again.
"It's dead and it's been that way for a really long time." Flora said.
"You're sure about that?" Bloom asked her.
"Positive!" Flora said.
"She's right, Bloom. This piece of earth is telling me the same thing." Rainbow said as she glowed in a greenish-blue aura. Door bursts open with strong wind. The girls grunt at the strong wind.
"Huh?" They asked.
"There's a change in the reality pressure! Hoo, that means there's an illusion spell lifting." Tecna said.
"You're right, Tecna. This illusion can only be used in negative energy." Aspen said as the strong wind revealed the illusion that was casted onto the environment - a musty, dark place.
"I took the illusion better." Musa said.
"Yeah. Well, there's no sense in turning back at this point. Right?" Bloom asked.
"Yep, Even though I don't like the place." Treva said.
~Inside the Cottage~
The girls enter. And the man (Knut) who gave them the directions runs away.
"Did you guys see that?!" Bloom exclaimed.
"See what!?" Berline shouted.
"For the record, who's idea was it to come in here anyway again?!" Tecna exclaimed.
"Well, nobody!" Heidi exclaimed.
"Do you think we should get out of here? Huh?" Flora asked them.
"No way!" Jasmine rejected the idea.
"If Bloom said it was the right move, then it has to be the right move!" Musa said, then something creaked.
"Hoo! Did you guys just hear that, just now?" Tecna asked them.
"You betcha!" Yasmine exclaimed.
"Yeah! It came from right up there!" Musa said.
"It's about time you showed up!" Stella (Darcy) said as Bloom gasps.
"Stella!" Bloom and Grace shouted as Stella (Darcy) walked forward.
"Welcome!" Stella (Darcy) said as the door shut and the Winx and the others gasped while Lantana glared at her.
"Now, if you girls don't mind... I'm taking my ring back! And while I'm at it... I'm gonna teach you little pixies a lesson!" Stella (Darcy) said as she flew upward and laughed evilly.
"What did she call us?!" Musa yelled.
"Stella, your aura is very negative right now!" Flora said scared.
"There's something wrong here!" Roxy said.
"I agree!" Emerald yelled as Stella (Darcy) blasts a stream of magical energy at them.
"Look out!" Katrina yelled as they quickly dodge. Bloom and Flora hide behind a pillar. Grace and Cloud hide behind another pillar.
"We're trapped here, Flora!" Bloom yelled in concern.
"We're also trapped over here!" Grace said as Dandelia, Rosa, Solara, Miranda, Lantana, Rainbow, Aspen, Treva, Berline, Heidi, Jasmine, Emerald, Yasmine, Katrina, Roxy, Musa, and Tecna are hiding near them but behind a fallen table. Stella (Darcy) continues to attack the two pillars Grace, Cloud, Bloom and Flora are hiding at.
"Leave them alone!" Dandelia yelled at her.
"Power up, Bloom!" Tecna yelled.
"You too, Grace!" Rosa shouted.
"They can't! They're pinned down!" Musa yelled.
"All right, that's it! I've had enough of this! Let's transform, Tecna!" Solara growled.
"You got it! We're going in!" Tecna exclaimed as she and Solara stood up and transformed.
"Lucky Barrier!" Solara shouted as she summons a green colored leprechaun hat shield with red energy, surrounding the shield.
"Fire Wall Shield!" Tecna shouted as she summons a lime green protective shield. Solara and Tecna ran with their shields up, blocking Stella (Darcy)'s magic blasts and head on over to Grace, Cloud, Flora and Bloom.
"You go, Tecna and Solara!" Musa and Miranda cheered as Solara and Tecna arrived at the two pillars.
"Come on!" Tecna ushered.
"Let's go!" Solara exclaimed as Grace, Cloud, Flora and Bloom took cover, behind Tecna and her shields and head for cover.
"It's over pixies!" Stella (Darcy) cackled evilly.
"Friend or not, she's gonna get mused!" Musa yelled.
"Calm down, Musa!" Rainbow yelled.
""She's gonna get mused"? What's that?" Flora asked her in confusion.
"Guys, that's not Stella! You know who calls us "pixies"!" Bloom said, finally realizing something.
"That's right!" Lantana shouted as Bloom stood.
"Are you Icy or Darcy?!" Bloom demanded an answer from her.
"And the slowest horse crosses the finish line! Hah-hah-hah-hah! Congratulations." Stella (Darcy) said she puts a hand in front of her face and reveals herself to be Darcy.
"Here's your prize." Darcy said, smiling evilly.
"I have a feeling that you were the imposter impersonating Stella." Lantana growled angrily at her as Icy and Stormy appeared beside her.
"Let's go girls!" Bloom exclaimed as Musa, Flora and she transformed into their Winx Form. Then Grace, Cloud, Dandelia, Rosa, Solara, Miranda, Lantana, Rainbow, Aspen, Treva, Berline, Heidi, Jasmine, Emerald, Yasmine, Katrina and lastly Roxy.
"Hmph!" They shouted.
"Wait, wait! Change me back too! Please, change me back!" Strange Man (Knut) said.
"Certainly, Knut." Darcy said as she changed the strange man back to Knut.
"Huh? Ahhhh!" Knut shouted.
"What have you witches done with Stella?!" Bloom demanded.
"Yeah, tell us now!" Yasmine shouted.
"Huh." Icy said as she shows a hand to where Stella is. "She's right here." Stella is floating with several rings restraining her.
"No!" Flora exclaimed.
"Stella, no!" Katrina shouted in horror. They see her, horrified at Stella's state.
"Stella!" Bloom shouted.
"Sorry girls! The witches tricked me!" Stella yelled.
"They will pay for this!" Lantana swore, glaring at them.
"Don't worry Stella, just hang in there!" Bloom said as she pointed at the witches. "You better let her go, now!"
"Yeah, you witches just pisses me off even more! You either let her go or else you're going to feel my wrath when I'm this pissed off!" Grace raged at them.
"We will, Bloom and Grace. Just as soon as you give us the Ring of Solaria! And you better hurry up, 'cause that portal coil up there will keep squeezing her tighter and tighter until she goes pop!" Icy said as the rings around Stella tighten on her and she struggles.
"Just like a big fat zit!" Darcy said.
"She's gonna be splattered all over the wall!" Stormy said.
"Stop it!" Rosa hollered.
"Time's running out. So, what's it gonna to be Bloom and Grace? Stella or the ring?" Icy asked tauntingly as Grace growled furiously at them.
"Bloom, Grace, don't give it to them!" Stella yelled.
"I say we fight 'em!" Flora said.
"That's right, it's five against three? Let's take 'em down!" Tecna said.
"Hmph. We're gonna make three wish you never heard of Alfea!" Musa said.
"Yeah, you tell her Musa!" Flora said as Grace and Bloom closed their eyes. Stella struggles even more. Bloom and Grace opened their eyes and looked at each other and nodded.
"Bring it on!" Stormy and Darcy said.
"Everybody stop! Okay! The wings are coming off!" Bloom said as she and Grace de-transforms.
"Bloom? Grace?" Flora asked them.
"We can't put Stella in any more danger." Grace said as they walked over to them.
"They're right." Roxy said.
"Yeah. Stella's life is more important." Rainbow said as Bloom handed the ring to the Trix.
"You guys win this time..." Bloom said.
"But I swear it won't be the last." Solara growled hatefully.
"Bloom, Grace, no!" Stella shouted.
"Good decision. I knew we could count on the soft heart of a fairy." Icy said as Stella screams in pain. Icy snaps her fingers, releasing Stella from her hold.
"Ooofff..." Stella said as she fell to the ground.
"Stella!" Bloom yelled.
"Oh, Stella!" Dandelia shouted as Bloom and her ran to her.
"We did it girls!" Icy exclaimed as the Trix laughed, Icy tossed the ring in the air and the ring became a scepter. Icy catches it. "The scepter is ours! Hah!" The Trix and Knut teleport home. Dandelia and Bloom come to embrace Stella.
~On a Bridge~
"That was a good decision, Bloom and Grace." Musa said.
"Yeah, seriously. I wish I had taken some of that potion last night." Stella said.
"Then you might have known not to go out on a date?" Tecna asked her.
"Hey, you know what? Last night, I almost forgot to mix in the mandrake beet! Who knows what would have happened?" Bloom wondered.
"No, wait! You're supposed to mix in a mandrake root, not a beet!" Tecna told her as Grace and the others laughed at them.
"Wait, she got the potion wrong...you know what this means?" Flora asked her.
"I sure do Flora! This totally rules!" Bloom cheered.
"Bloom, what are you talking about?" Stella asked her.
"I'm a natural good decision maker!" Bloom exclaimed.
"You and me both, Bloom." Grace said smiling.
"You didn't need the potion, just thinking you took it gave you confidence!" Flora said.
"You hit the nail in the head, Flora!" Yasmine said smiling as they walked off the bridge.
"You know girls, the witches may have scored a goal, but they haven't won the game!" Bloom said as she kicks a can on the floor.
"Yeah, because they mess with the wrong fairies!" Lantana exclaimed.
"What game?" Tecna asked.
"It's an expression Tecna!" Stella said.
"Don't worry!" Bloom said.
"Huh?" Stella asked her.
"We're gonna get that ring back!" Bloom said as she kicked the can with all her might.
"You know it, Bloom!" Grace shouted smiling as they all went back to Alfea. They called it a night and went to bed.
