A small spark of light appears over the Alfea College for Fairies. Hovering over the main plaza, it floats down before eventually growing in size. In a bright flash, the spark explodes into a wash of light, revealing six Fairies.

"Wow...Alfea hasn't changed a bit since we graduated," Bloom, the red-haired Fairy reminisces.

"Maybe because it hasn't changed in...I don't know...a million billion years," Stella, a flippant, bubbly Fairy responds.

"Ladies, welcome back to Alfea," an older, kindly woman greets them.

"Headmistress Faragonda!" Bloom cries, running over to hug her.

"We're honored to have you girls here. I'm sure the student body will be thrilled."

Musa, a Fairy with a red motif, looks around the completely empty courtyard, "Where is everyone? It's lunchtime, shouldn't this place be more...lively?"

Headmistress Faragonda looks down, "Girls...Alfea hasn't been the same since you girls left. There isn't much school spirit anymore, the girls hardly seem to get along with one another. That's why I called you here, I was hoping you infuse some life back into the school community."

Aisha flips back her dark, curly hair, "I don't know Headmistress, how much could we do? We all have a lot of responsibilities now, not just as guardians of Magix, but also to our kingdoms."

"Well, if it's the Winx Club that brought the school together when we were students, then maybe a new Winx Club is just what the school needs," Flora, a soft-spoken Fairy suggests.

"Great idea Flora!" Bloom declares, "Where do we start?"

"I've already posted an invitation to the new Winx Club on Alfea's website," Techna, the final Fairy announces, "now we just have to wait to see if anyone replies."

Just then, Techna's phone rings, and she makes a few swipes with her finger, "Wow, that was fast, we just got our first request. It's from a girl named Silver, and she's invited us to her dorm to meet her."

"Great, let's go!" Bloom leads, as the girls walk to the dorms.

Bloom knocks on the dorm room door, and a girl with long silver hair answers it. The minute she sees the Winx she lights up.

"No way, it's the Winx Club! I-I can't believe you guys are actually here!"

Stella flips her wrist, "Autographs are payable by cash or cred-" she's interrupted when Musa nudges her in the arm.

"So we hear you're interested in being part of the new Winx Club," Aisha interjects.

Silver nods, "Yeah, I mean, who wouldn't want to be part of the Winx Club, right?"

"Apparently not anyone else in Alfea," Techna replies, looking down at her phone, "looks like we're getting some major flack on the school website."

The Winx Club and Silver gather around Techna's phone as she scrolls through the comments of her post.

"...the Winx are so yesterday...no one cares...who'd want to join a silly club anyway..." Stella reads aloud.

"How can Fairies be saying these things? Fairies are suppose to thrive off of positive energy, nothing like this," Bloom reasons.

"It's not cool to show your positive feelings anymore," Silver explains, "I don't know what happened."

"It's a total disaster is what's happened!" Stella angrily stomps her chunky heels on the ground, "How could Fairies reject the very thing that makes them special?"

"Y'all are sounding like a bunch of old ladies," a new voice interrupts.

The girls turn around to see a girl with glasses and magenta hair in a short ponytail. She leans against the wall, her arms crossed.

"Oh hey. You guys, this is my roommate: Ancrua. She can be...inconsiderate at times," Silver introduces with a bitter tone.

"Well, maybe you'd be interested in joining the new Winx Club Ancrua. What do you say?" Bloom offers.

She shrugs, "No thanks. My goal is to be the top student at Alfea, unless it's going to boost my resume, no thanks."

Pushing Silver out of the way, she walks into the dorm room, slamming the door behind her.

Bloom bites her lip, "Well...that didn't go as I'd planned."

"It's okay Bloom. Not everyone is going to be interested," Flora assures her.

"Yeah, and besides, we wouldn't want an attitude like that in the Winx Club anyway," Musa chimes in, "so Silver, do you have any friends who might be interested in joining?"

She shies back in embarrassment, "Yeah...I kind of don't have friends."

"What?!" Stella cries, "Unacceptable, girl! C'mon, there's got to be at least one cool girl at Alfea who'd make an awesome friend, you just haven't found her yet."

"Well, I do know one girl who might be interested. It's my sister: Jade."

"Perfect! Why don't you introduce her to us? I know what it's like to have a supportive sister by your side, and I'm sure she's wonderful," Bloom concludes.

Silver pauses, "Uhm...well, you see...the thing is..."

Suddenly, Techna's phone goes off. She takes a glance at it, and gasps, "Oh no! An emergency, Domino is under attack!"

The girls begin filing out, but Bloom stays just behind the rest of them. She hands Silver a small bracelet with a locket charm attached, "Here, you can use this to keep us updated on the Winx Club. Call us if you need advice, I know it can seem like a huge task, but don't worry about it, you'll be finding friends before you know it. Just start off with your sister, I'm sure she'll be willing to help you."

She waves goodbye as she meets with the other girls. They form a circle, and each of the Winx Club members place a hand in the center. A bright flash of light blasts from their circle, and when it clears, they've vanished.

Silver sighs, it was amazing meeting the Winx Club, but how was she suppose to assemble a group as awesome as them? She opens the door to her dorm and slumps down onto her bed, trying to make up a plan.

"Those Winx girls ditch you?" Ancrua asks as she pours over her textbooks.

"For your information, they had an emergency! They had to go save Domino!" Silver defends.

She chuckles, "That place is always under attack by someone. They should just stay there full time."

Silver groans, before burying her head in her pillow. Ancrua glances over at her, "You didn't mention that your sister's...?"

She shakes her head into her pillow, "How could I? She's the only girl I could think of. I couldn't show up to the Winx Club empty-handed."

"Well, good luck with that," Ancrua mumbles, returning to her work.

Silver sits up on her bed, and reaches over to her nightstand. She picks up an old photo of her and Jade as children on Alrance, their home planet, "Oh Jade...what happened?"
