Hey everyone! This is my first time writing a Winx Club fanfic so I hope that you guys will like it. I know that there are those of you who are going to asking these questions because knowing you Winx Club fans, I can already hear it from the reviews! Yes, I will do the movies because honestly, it won't make any sense without them. Another question that I know is going to be asked in the reviews is about the Layla/Aisha character. For the record, while I'm writing this fanfic, I will be using the name 'Aisha' from season 2 onward.

As for the whole Sky switching his identity with Brandon in season 1, I'm going ahead with what was already originally planned out from both the Italian and US writers when the show had aired. Bloom and Stella won't know that 'Brandon' is Sky and 'Sky' is Brandon until that episode when it was revealed. Only my OC will figure it out before I start writing that episode. Also, yes, I have heard that there is going to be a reboot of the show and there is a possibility that I may or may not do the reboot. That is depending on if you guys are choosing to rush me or stress me out long before I start writing season 8.

As for the World of Winx series, at this time, I really and truly don't know if I plan on writing it or not. Keep in mind that if anyone, and I mean anyone tries to rush me while I'm writing this fanfic or any of my other fanfics, all written chapters will be delayed for a week or even possibly a month. No exceptions. Please leave a positive review and as always, Happy Reading!

I DONT OWN WINX CLUB. I ONLY OWN MY TWO OCS, THE ANIMAL THAT MY FEMALE OC HAS AND THEIR PERSONALITIES. I DONT NOT ACCEPT FANART FOR MY FANFICTION. I WILL NOT HIRE ANYONE!

Shoutouts:

At Alfea, Bloom and Dawn were in the library, going through a couple of books. "There's got to be something in here." Bloom said to Dawn. "Find anything yet, Dawn?"

"Not yet, but I think I found a possible long-lost ancestor of ours." Dawn tells Bloom, showing her the picture of a set of identical twins with red hair. "That's if Mom and Dad were from Magix."

Bloom starts to laugh a bit, before going back to her book. "Adilene, dream catchers no." Bloom said as they both looked at the same book. "Invisibility ring? Hmm. Nibbling ring. No! There it is! That's Stella's ring! The Sword of power. Part of the lineal right of the princess of the sun and moon of Solaris. So that means it belongs to you."

"Of course it does. I could have told you that myself." said Stella.

"And I wished that you did." said Dawn as Stella gave out a small laugh.

"The sword ring has been in my family….well….forever." she tells the twins.

"Yeah, but that doesn't tell us why the witches are so eager to have it." said Bloom.

"Well, it is an important and valuable object." said Flora.

"The Trix aren't common criminals. There's got to be something else to it." Stella said, curious to know why.

"Uh, excuse us, we must have missed something." Bloom said.

"Yeah, because Bloom and I are confused here." said Dawn.

"Who are the Trix?" the twins asked.

"Oh, well that's the nickname we gave our three favorite witches." said Musa, reminding them.

"Oh yeah…" said Dawn. "I kinda like it."

"Anyhow, Dawn and I discovered over very interesting things about your ring in the book that we found in the library." said Bloom.

"Interesting book by the way." Dawn said.

"According to the legend, the sword of Solaris was created a long time ago…nobody knows when." said Bloom. "It was sculpted out of a stone, immersed in the spring of light which still flows today. And it's one of the many gifts offered by the great sacred fires."

"Whoa and I thought the history of Solaris was ultra boring." said Stella, causing the girls to laugh.

"Uh, what is the sacred fires exactly?" asked Tecna.

"Excellent question, Miss Tecna." said the twins in their professor voice. "Very pleased that you should ask."

"Hey, you both sound just like Griselda." said Flora, chuckling at their expression.

"Listen to this…." said Bloom.

"Because we found it very informative." said Dawn.

"The enchanted universe of the magical dimension as we know it was created eons ago by the mythical dragons who sparked the sacred fires." Bloom explained as they walked the halls.

"Some believe that the two dragons are mates while others believed that they were siblings." said Dawn.

"Hmm….did the dragons exist for real or is it a mythical symbol?" questioned Flora.

"Well, I think they both represents an ideal, you know, an embodiment of good versus evil." said Tecna.

"Yeah, sure, okay." said the twins. "Uh, could you repeat that in English?"

"Stella, you must know the story." said Musa.

"Uh, well, ancient history is not my strong point." said Stella.

"Oh, of course." Flora said. "A princess has different priorities."

"Yeah, shopping for instance." Stella said, smiling as they laughed.

"We'd like to know more about the two dragons." said Bloom as she and Dawn hung back from their friends. "I think we'll head back to the library. There's too many questions left unanswered."

"And one too many that are popping into my head." said Dawn.

"All right, see you." said the girls as the twins headed back to the library.

"For some reason, I don't think the dragons are a legend." said Bloom. "There's something more to this story. Something important. I can feel it. Don't you feel it, Dawn."

"I do and I agree, there's more to the story. I also believe that the two dragons are nothing more than just siblings." said Dawn. "I can't believe that the both of them created the magic dimension."

"Do you think there's more to the story than what we've been told?" she asked, eager to delve deeper into the mystery of the dragons. Dawn nodded, a determined glint in her eye.

"Absolutely. I think there's a hidden connection between the dragons and the world we know now, something that ties them to us in ways we never imagined." said Dawn. As they continued to discuss their theories, the air in the room seemed to crackle with excitement. Bloom and Dawn were determined to uncover the truth behind the ancient legend of the dragons, no matter where their journey might take them.

"Perhaps I can help you." someone said, gaining the twins' attention. They turned around to see Faragonda standing behind them.

"Oh, Miss Faragonda." said Bloom and Dawn.

"Come with me." she said to the twins, leading them to her office. "Have a seat, both of you."

"Thank you." they both said, taking her offer.

"You both want to know about the dragons. Well, it's quite a long story." said Faragonda, then tells them the story. "In the beginning, there was nothing. Then, out of the deep darkness, two dazzling lights appeared. It was the two great dragons and with their fiery breathes, created a multitude of different worlds and spread life, light and heat across the universe. Eventually, the two dragons became exhausted and chose to lie down, side by side and rest in a place called Domino."

"But Stella said Domino is a cold, dark and unfriendly place." said Bloom as Dawn nodded in confirmation.

"It doesn't sound like a place for majestic dragons." said Dawn.

"Now it is, but it used to be a happy and prosperous place." said Faragonda. "Before dark forces attacked Domino and put out both dragons flames once and for all. The magical dimension hasn't been the same since."

"Oh wow." said Bloom and Dawn.

"Tell me, Bloom and Dawn, why are you both so interested in the two dragons?" Faragonda asked them.

"I don't know. We're just curious, I guess." said Bloom. "Everything is so new to us here."

"And we're still getting the hang of things." said Dawn.

"Yes…." Faragonda said, leaning back in her chair, hands folded. "I can understand that."

"Well, we'll leave now." Bloom said as she and Dawn stood up. "Thank you."

As Bloom and Dawn prepared to depart, Bloom opened the door and stepped outside. Before following her sister, Dawn glanced back at Faragonda with curiosity on her face, suspecting that the headmistress was hiding something.

Faragonda, sensing Dawn's lingering presence, met her gaze with a warm but guarded smile. "Is there something on your mind, Dawn?" she asked gently, her eyes twinkling with an unreadable emotion.

Dawn hesitated, the unspoken question dancing on the tip of her tongue. "It's just...I feel like there's a huge secret someone's hiding from us." she finally said, her voice barely above a whisper. "You're not keeping this kind of information from us….right?"

Faragonda's expression softened, and she stepped closer to Dawn, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Secrets, my dear, can be as heavy as they are light. Not all truths are ready to be shared." she said to the youngest twin.

Dawn nodded, though the gnawing feeling of doubt remained. "Thank you, Ms. Faragonda." she said, forcing a smile.

Faragonda's eyes flickered with something unspoken, a secret she was keeping hidden for now. "Remember, if you ever need guidance, the answers often lie within. Believe in yourself, Dawn."

With a final nod, Dawn turned and walked out the door, joining Bloom. That night, the twins were in their room with the girls. "You know, I just want to get my ring back." said Stella.

"Yeah, and I think we should be the ones to get attack." suggested Tecna.

"Tecna, we're not soldiers!" Flora exclaimed as Kiko and Lavender slept on Bloom's bed. "How can we overpower Icy, Darcy and Stormy?"

"By taking them by surprise." Bloom suggested, causing both bunnies to wake up in fright with Kiko glaring and growling at Bloom. "This time, we go to their house."

"Yes!" shouted Stella. "Right into the lion's den. But, uh….are you guys really sure that's the right thing to do?"

"Uh, relax…." Tecna assures her. "We'll come up with a fool proof plan, you'll see."

"Wow! Tecna has an idea for a foolproof plan. I wonder what it is." Dawn teased a little, giggling as blush creeps onto Tecna's face.

"Well, if you must know," Tecna said, trying to maintain her composure despite the blush deepening on her cheeks, "it's a detailed strategy that covers every possible scenario. I've calculated all the variables, and the success rate is over 98 percent."

"Remember the tunnels under the school that we discovered a while back?" Bloom asked the others. "Let's use them to go to Cloudtower. Tonight, when the whole of Alfea is fast asleep, the Winx will go into action."

Rain blew around Cloudtower as chanting was heard. The Trix were chanting, trying to unlock more power from Stella's ring. White light surrounded their bodies as it headed towards the ring when suddenly it caused an explosion.

"Oh, my nose." said Darcy, holding her nose as she sits up on the floor.

"We have to cast a Safety Shield Spell immediately." said Stormy.

"My pretty nose." whined Darcy as Knut walks in.

"Hey, what's up?" Knut asked.

"We shall be as we once were." Stormy said, casting her spell. "There was no explosion. No explosion."

Knut yawns and turns back around. "I'm going back to bed." he tells the Trix.

"It cannot be." said Icy, frustrated as she pounds her fists into the floor. "No! It can't be! Stupid ring! Where is all your energy? Where are you hiding it?"

"Stella's ring might be very powerful, but….." Darcy said, rubbing her nose.

"I mean, get real." said Stormy. "This little thing could never hold the powers of the Dragons. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out."

"Be quiet!" screeched Icy. "After all I've been through to get my hands on this ring, I won't be talked to like that." She then growls angrily at the ring. "Stupid fairies. This ring is useless."

Icy then throws Stella's ring at the wall, causing it to bounce off and hit the floor. "But nothing can deter us from reaching our ultimate goal." Icy said as she lets her body fall to the floor. "The powers of the dragon's flames will be ours, even if we must start the search all over again."

Pepe waddles over to his mother, blinking cutely at her. "Quack." he said, wondering if she was okay. "Quack!"

"Um…are you both sure this is the right way?" Flora asked the twins as they were in the tunnel.

"Trust us, Flora. We'll arrive directly under Cloudtower Castle." said Bloom.

Knut was sweeping the Trix's floor, grumbling away. "They make a mess, and I got to clean." Knut complained, then looks around. "I tell you; a bomb explosion would have made a lot less mess."

"Is there a problem, Knut?" Icy asked him.

"Uh, no, no." he quickly replied. "Uh, just thinking of getting you a present. A vacuum cleaner perhaps."

"Finish the cleanup and then come and join us." demanded Icy. "We'll be in the woods."

"And make it snappy!" added Darcy, following her sisters towards the mirror as they left Cloudtower.

"Yeah, right. They always say I'm stupid." Knut said to himself. "I'm good for nothing."

He continues sweeping and accidentally knocks Pepe back. "But when it comes to cleaning duty, who do they call? Knut….it's always Knut." Unknowingly, he sweeps Stella's ring into a pile of dirt.

"Knut!" shouted Darcy.

"Huh? I'm coming, I'm coming." he called out as he runs towards the Trix. Suddenly, a wall opens up in Cloudtower, leading the Winx into a hallway.

"Wow, you two…..you were right." said Flora.

"The underground entrance to Cloudtower." said Tecna.

"Now what do we do?" asked Flora.

"Because that's a lot of stairs." said Dawn.

"I guess we'll have to use our magic to find the Trix." said Bloom, but it was too late.

"Knut!" shouted Icy and Bloom points in the direction of her voice.

"Then again, maybe not." Bloom said.

"That was too easy." said Dawn.

"Hmm. Where's that ugly ogre of yours?" Icy asked, crossing her arms. "And why do we always have to wait for him?"

"Knut!" Darcy shouted.

"You guys ready?" the twins asked.

"I'm coming." Knut called out to the Trix. "I'm coming!"

Unknown to Knut and the Trix, the Winx were on their way to their room. "This must be the room of our three buddies." commented Bloom.

"Yes, and my nose tells me the ogre lives here too." said Musa.

"Ew, is that his natural smell?" asked Dawn. "It's like a combination of rotten garbage, wet dog, and burnt hair."

"I think so. It's probably been a while since he's had a bath." Musa tells her.

"I can't believe anyone would let their house smell like this. It's disgusting." said Dawn.

"Well, ogres aren't known for their cleanliness." said Musa.

"Let's get busy. Stella's ring could be anywhere around here." said Flora.

"And you know, the witches can be back anytime soon." said Tecna. The Winx looked through the room, searching for Stella's ring until Tecna found something. "Hey, look what I found." Tecna said, showing them a doll with needles in it. "Kind of creepy, isn't it?"

"Wanna see something creepy?" asked Musa, picking up what seem to be weird bat. "Look at this."

"What is that?" asked Dawn as creepy crawlies appeared. Tecna gasps and throws the doll away from her.

"Hold on, I don't want that stupid thing." she said, then thinks for a moment. "Huh? Really? They're just sick."

"But where would they have gone at this time of night?" Stella asked, looking through what seemed to be hygiene products.

Bloom and Dawn walked past one of the beds, seeing something on the wall. "They must have had a party in here." said Bloom.

"Possibly a crazy party." added Dawn.

"Well, if these are the leftovers, I'm sure glad they didn't invite me." said Stella.

Suddenly, the twins spot something in the aftermath. "Look!" they said to Stella.

"It's the sword ring." said Stella, seeing it as well as she goes and picks it up. "Welcome home, little one. Did you miss me?"

"So, can we go now?" asked Tecna.

"Yes, Tecna. We can go." said Dawn. Tecna walks over to the mirror and tries to open it. "Looks like you're struggling."

"It won't budge." growled Tecna. "Either the lock is broken or there's a safety mechanism."

"There must be another way out." said Bloom, opening the door and looks out.

"There better be a way out." said Dawn. "Because I'm not staying the night at Cloudtower."

In the hallway, Bloom and Dawn sense something behind a wall. "There's something behind this wall." Bloom said, placing pressure on the wall. "We can feel it. It's not a way out, it's something completely different."

"This is not the time to listen to your sixth sense." Tecna tells them. "We've got to get out of here."

"You sure about that?" asked Dawn, lightly placing her fingers on the wall as though she could feel bass vibrations.

"The sixth sense is not reliable. It's just your imagination playing tricks on you." said Tecna.

"My sixth sense has never been wrong before." said Dawn.

"That's because you've never tested it." Tecna tells her, crossing her arms.

"I don't need to test it. I know it works." Dawn said, glaring at her.

"You're going to get yourself into trouble if you keep relying on your sixth sense." Tecna said, logically.

"I'll take my chances, Tecna." said Dawn, grinning.

"Suit yourself. But don't come crying to me when things go wrong." Tecna tells her.

"I won't." said Dawn, shrugging at her.

"Just a minute." Bloom said to Tecna, following her sister's lead on the wall. "It could be important."

The door opens and inside, there were books and scrolls everywhere. "Wow!" the girls said, amazed by what was inside.

"What a strange place." said Flora.

"It's the archives." said Bloom as she and Dawn reached for a book. "Who knows what's in these books. Let's see."

They opened the book and a light from it shined, somewhat blinding them. In Griffin's office, a lamp notified Griffin that someone was somewhere in Cloudtower. "Someone has set foot in the archives room." Griffin said to herself. "Let's see who it is."

As Griffin takes a look, she sees that it was the Winx. "Oh, goodie. The fairies are paying us a visit." said Griffin, somehow pleased that they were here. "Let's give them a warm welcome."

"Hey! This one's about a fairy Elanor De La Rush Fur." Flora said.

"This one's about a witch by the name of Adi Guild." said Musa, reading what was on the cover. "And that gives me the goosebumps."

"Can you imagine the history of every witch and fairy that ever existed all in here." said Bloom as Dawn takes a closer look.

"It's fascinating, Bloom, but um….what do you say we get out of here?" Tecna asked.

"Eh?" Dawn asked, looking up at the ceiling, sensing that they were being watched.

"What is it, Dawn?" asked Stella.

"We're being watched from inside of Cloudtower." said Dawn. "I'm not sure where exactly, but whoever it is….they're watching us."

Flora gasped; her hand instinctively went over her heart. "But how do you know?" asked Tecna.

"I don't know," Dawn admitted, her voice a mere whisper as she looks over at her friends and sister. "But whoever it is, they're sending in their version of the welcoming committee."

"See? Dawn sensed it so let's get out of here." Tecna urged the oldest twin.

"Oh, pretty please?" Bloom asked. "One more minute. If there's a book about me and Dawn somewhere in here, we could find more about ourselves and our powers."

"Uh, okay." Tecna said, giving in. "But let's do this quick."

"The book would probably look kind of new." said Bloom as she and Dawn walked through the archives. "Maybe even have a colored cover." They then spot a book with their names on it. "Well, well, well…."

"Bloom, Dawn, did you find it?" asked Flora.

"We found something with our names on it." said Dawn.

"Maybe neither of you should read it." Tecna suggested, placing a hand on the book. "Think about it. What if the book contains your futures?"

"So? What's the problem?" questioned Stella. "I'd give my right arm to find out about my future, you know."

"What the future has in store for us is not always pleasant." said Tecna. "If I were the two of you, I wouldn't do it. But it's your choice."

"Hey, Dawn and I just want to find out about our powers, Tecna. Nothing more." said Bloom.

"I'm with Bloom on this one. I would rather hope for the best and prepare for the worst." said Dawn.

"We just need to know where they come from. Just a quick peek." they both said as they reached out towards the book. As their hands were about to touch the book, tentacle like vines came out of cover, wrapping themselves around their arms.

Once the twins had freed themselves, the book starts to glow, created a face and starts laughing at them before returning to normal. "Ha-ha-ha! Did I scare you girls?" Griffin asked, using magic on the book that the girls found. "Why, this is just the beginning. Before long, you'll regret your intrusion."

"The book!" said Bloom as Dawn gave it a weird look.

"Bloom, that book doesn't want to be read by you or Dawn." said Musa. "Let's get out of here."

"It's not that, Musa." said Dawn, staring at the book. "Someone must have cast a spell to freak us out in order for us to leave."

"You mean?" Stella asked.

"Yes, whoever is spying on us cast the spell on the book." said Dawn. "If they wanted us to leave their archives, all they had to do was come down here and ask. There's no reason to scare the living daylights out of us."

"Good to know. Come on." said Musa, as she and Flora dragged the twins away from the book.

Griffin was somehow speechless by Dawn as she laughed. "Relax, little fairies. There's no rush." said Griffin.

Suddenly, the door disappears from their sight as Tecna ran towards it, stopping in her tracks. "Whoa! I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but, um, I think we're in trouble." Tecna said to the others.

"You're not sounding like a pessimist." Dawn told her. "You're being a realist right now and I don't blame you."

"We've got to find a solution and right away." said Bloom as they all looked for a new way out. Walking back towards the others, Tecna had her hands up as though she was in a spy movie.

"Let's try a little Tecna power." she said, then aims her magic at the wall where the door had disappeared from. Once she had hit the mark, nothing but smoke appeared.

"Not even a scratch." said Musa, staring at the wall before turning her attention back to Tecna. "Now what?"

"Power convergence." said Tecna.

"She's right." said Bloom.

"It's our best shot." said Dawn.

"Bloom! Dawn! Magic Winx!" the twins shouted as they transformed.

"Everybody ready? Altogether, now!" said Bloom as they combined their magix on the wall and blasted their way out.

"Man, you guys need to work out more." Dawn said, looking at her friends and twin as they were catching their breath. "And I thought you were going stretch in the mornings when I'm in the shower, Bloom."

"Sorry, Dawn….I forgot this morning." said Bloom.

"Now there doesn't seem to be a way out of this place." said Flora, panting.

"We've never been through this tunnel." said Tecna, taking a look at their surroundings. "It's not the one we came from."

"How can you tell?" asked Stella. "They all look the same."

"I have a photographic memory." Tecna explained. "I notice details."

"Please guys, tells us that we're not completely lost." said Bloom.

"You know….I was being serious about not wanting to spend the night here at Cloudtower." said Dawn. "Let's get out of here and back to Alfea."

Suddenly, the Winx heard something coming up behind them. It looked like huge spiders crawling on the walls towards them. "Giant spiders." said Musa, a little freaked out.

"They're everywhere." said Bloom as she and Dawn looked back to see more giant spiders crawling around.

"Okay, so what's the plan now?" Musa asked. "I mean, these things don't look too friendly."

"Any ideas?" asked Dawn.

"We have to create a protective shield, like a force field." said Bloom as the girls went to their knees and created a force field around them. The giant spiders went towards the Winx as several of them made contact with the force field, falling towards the ground as they caught on fire.

"Oh no." said Bloom as more came towards them. "They've made a breach in our barrier. We've got to do something, quick!"

"Well, I've got an idea." said Flora. "Ready? Follow me!"

The girls took flight and away from the giant spiders that were coming at them. "Got any bug spray?" Stella asked, ready to deal with the giant spiders.

"No need for that, Stella. We'll use the spider's natural enemy." said Flora, then spread her magic onto the spiders. "Here you go, a beautiful spider eater."

"Goodness." said Stella as she, Dawn and Musa watched the scene unfold. "Professor Palladium's lessons are good for something after all."

"Was there ever any doubt?" asked Flora.

"No….just that I have a lot to say in my journal tonight." said Dawn as the spider eater went after all the spiders and disappears.

"You know, something tells me we're not out of the woods yet." said Bloom.

"Bloom's right. That was too easy." said Tecna.

"Hey, let's not sell ourselves short." said Stella as the remains of the giant spiders turned to dust. "We've simply dealt with the problem efficiently."

"Then why do I feel like we're about to get a new problem?" Dawn asked Stella.

"Uh, Stella….not to rain on your parade…" said Musa as she and Dawn started at the spider dust pile as random strands go into it. "but maybe it's time to go."

Soon as Stella opens her eyes, she then sees an even bigger giant misshapen spider. "Hurry! This way!" said Tecna, leading them down a different hallway.

"Come on, lets fly out of here." Bloom said to the others.

"You don't have to tell me twice!" shouted Dawn. "I'm ready to sleep."

"Ready, set go!"

Tecna takes off with the twins following close behind. "How do we get out of here?" asked Musa as the misshapen spider went after them.

"Let's try this way!" said Stella.

"Watch out!" the twins cried out to her, causing Stella to look up. "It's a dead end!"

"What should we do?" asked Stella.

"We have no choice." said Tecna. "Let's take him on."

"Good idea." said Dawn as the girls stood their ground. As the misshapen spider came towards them, Bloom shouted, "Strike!"

All of the magic was targeted at the creature, finally destroying it. Tecna lowers her shield that was protecting them. "We have a problem." said Stella as Tecna ran to the door, knocking it open. "Not anymore."

"Where are we?" asked Tecna as they took a look inside.

"I've heard of rooms like this." said Stella. "But I never thought they really existed. Witches are very mess creatures. Instead of organizing a library, cataloging their stuff…..they just chuck everything away like that."

"No wonder Mom had our backpacks embroidered with our names that one year." said Dawn.

"Not to mention the name tags on our coats." said Bloom.

"What an eerie silence." said Musa. "I have a bad feeling. Huh?" Musa looks down and sees a random creature crawling towards them. "A Bako monster!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." cried Stella as she stood in front of Musa, protecting her. "Sun Shower!"

Stella's sun attack was so powerful that it burned the room, and several things were on fire. "Where did it go?" asked Stella.

"There it is." said Flora, seeing it on its back and wiggling its legs as Stella giggles.

"Nipped it in the bud." she said when suddenly the fire gets bigger. "Oh my goodness! Gross."

"Thanks a lot, Stella." said Musa. The girls huddled together as the fire started to spread around them.

Flora starts coughing as she breathes in the smoke. "The smoke is so thick! I can't breathe!" said Flora.

"The flames are blocking the door." Tecna said, looking around at the fire. "We're trapped again."

"This is all our fault." said Bloom.

"Our curiosity ran away from us." said Dawn.

"They're all here because of us." the twins thought as they watched the flames surround them. "If only we hadn't touch that book. None of this would be happening."

"Bloom! Dawn!" said a female voice, calling out to them. "Come Bloom and Dawn!"

Stella looks over her shoulder as she watches the twins followed the voice they were hearing. "Bloom! Dawn!" she cried out. "What's going on? What are you two doing?"

Dawn cocks her head to the side as she and Bloom walked towards the fire. "Come to me! Follow me!" said the voice as the fire parts ways, forming a path. "I….will….lead you to safety."

The fire splits and reveals a door to them. Reaching out, the twins touched the door and it opens, revealing an escape path. "Hey everybody….look at the twins." said Stella as confusion appeared on Dawn's face. "Oh wow….way to go, girls!"

When Stella pats them on the back, both of them came out of a trance. "Bloom! Dawn!" Stella called out, getting their attention.

"Huh! What? What?" asked Bloom.

"Who did what?" asked Dawn.

"What just happened?" they asked.

"Never mind, we'll discuss this later." said Musa. "For now, let's get out of here."

Dawn pulls Musa forward, leading her away from the fire. "You go first." Stella said to the twins with Bloom going first.

The girls screamed as they went down their escape route which led to the tunnels. Bloom landed first with Dawn landing next to her. When they looked up, the twins saw Tecna coming in for a landing. "Wow! Oh!" said Flora, being the last one to land on everyone.

"All right…." said Tecna as they headed back to Alfea. "how'd you both pull it off?"

"We both heard this voice in our heads." Bloom said, sighing. "It was telling us how to get to safety. It was a sweet, kind voice that spoke to us through the flames."

"It's true. The voice was also very soothing as they spoke through the flames." said Dawn. "Somehow it was like we weren't afraid it whoever was talking to us."

"Well, whatever it was, it got us out of a hotspot. That's for sure." said Stella.

"Heh-heh. Stella, you're so funny." Tecna said sarcastically. "I just bust a gut."

"Hey, our plan worked." Stella said as her ring was on her hand. "The witches don't have my sword ring anymore. The Winx have got the power."

As they girls walked the halls of Alfea, they were tired. "I can't wait to get some rest." said Flora.

"You can say that again." said Bloom as she guides her twin from bumping into Musa. "I'm so tired, I don't think the both of us will have the energy to go to school today."

"I'm so tired, I might as well fall asleep while walking." said Dawn. "And I've done it before too."

"Yeah, it's time to cash in a sick day." said Musa.

"Ahem." said Griselda, watching walk up to their room. "Obviously, you enjoy breaking the rules. You are in big trouble, young ladies." She then leads them to Griselda.

"This morning, I received a message from Professor Griffin, the head witchtress at Cloudtower." Faragonda said to the Winx. "My colleague was furious. She tells me that you broke into her school last night. Is that true? I won't tolerate this kind of behavior in my institution. Now what have you got to say for yourselves?"

Dawn looks at the headmistress with tired bleary eyes. "Well…while we were there, I was able to sense that someone was watching us. So, I'm assuming that it was her that was spying on us and not one of her students." said Dawn as she was about to start swaying a bit.

"We really…." Bloom said, beginning their apology as she and Flora held up a sleep deprived Dawn.

"Ma'am, if I may." said Griselda, having an idea in mind. "Whatever their reason is for doing what they did, their punishment should be exemplary."

"What do you mean?" asked Faragonda.

"Seeing as these students went without permission, I would suggest they be grounded, and their magic powers revoked until such date as you deemed adequate." suggested Griselda.

"But, ma'am, you wouldn't do that, would you?" asked Stella.

"Wouldn't I?" Faragonda asked. "There are very few things I wouldn't do. And revoking your powers is not one of them!"

Dawn's eyes widen as she starts to freak out in her sleep deprived state. "No! Not that!" Dawn started to scream; her brain was thinking something else. "Anything but that!" Faragonda goes and temporary strips the Winx of their powers.

Later on, the girls were in their room, relaxing. "I think we should just lay down and veg out for a while." said Stella.

"Maybe if you hadn't challenge Faragonda, she'd gone easier on us." said Flora.

"And Dawn wouldn't haven't freaked out in her sleep deprived state." added Stella.

"You can't really blame her." said Bloom. "

"I don't think they would have changed anything really." said Tecna. "I'm sure she knows exactly what happened last night."

"She must think we were very naïve for being taken in by that trick with the twins' book." Musa said to them. "But how are we to know it was a trap?"

"And now we are totally powerless. For Dawn and I, it's not so bad." said Bloom as Dawn was leaning against the wall, lightly snoring away. "We've lived our whole lives without powers. We've got to get them back. This is the only way to solve to this mystery." Bloom then turns to face the others.

"I know how we can regain our powers." she said, determined. "I just say the word. Winx."

"We are the Winx…..come on, get up and play. Sparkling and wonderful, we're magic all the way." Dawn randomly said in her sleep, causing her sister and the others to laugh.
