The power of Winx

Listen to the voice of nature

Today we were all in matching outfits for our hike in Black Mud Swamp, and our teacher Mr. Palladium had separated us all into groups for this assignment, and we had 3 hours to find a way out of the swamp without using magic, and only using the materials that nature provided for us, that we had to listen to nature, so we had a home advantage there, with Flora. When our teacher left, all the groups started spread out, and soon we were knee deep in mud.

And then, fleeing for our lives when we smelled near by gas, and we ran for cover, if we'd stepped into that, the gas probably would've toasted us alive, and Tecna had been wanting to use her magic on it to get rid of it. After that incident, we treaded our waters very carefully. In the Trix's bedroom, they'd made themselves invisible to skip class and their school didn't take well to beasts, animals are other pets, which is where Pepe and Knut came in, because they had to hide him away in the room somewhere where they couldn't find him.

That whatever Knut had called them for had better be good they were already in trouble once for skipping class. Turns out the hunting troll from before was being taken to Magix's from Red Fountain to be turned over to the police, that even though he was useless, if he spilled the beans to the police the Trix would get into some serious trouble and not the kind they wanted to be in.

That, Icy's plan was they'd free the troll, but then get rid of him forever. I knew then and there, this was probably gonna cause problems for us. And as planned in a Red Fountain aircraft our fellow heroes in training had the troll with them and were trying to bring him to his destination, but Sky had just gotten done telling Brandon and his brother that he could tell something was gonna happen, and then it did.

A shot was fired at the ship, but nothing was on the reading on the screen, and then they lost their engines and started going down, and the aircraft crashed going up in smoke as myself and the rest of the girls ran in that direction to go make sure everyone was ok. But when we tried to help Riven made it clear that they didn't want our help, after they realized that the troll ha gotten loose and now no longer in handcuffs.

But, Musa liked him, something about his bad boy demeanor was attractive to her. And if I didn't have my eyes set on someone else, I would've liked that about Riven too. But Jack was a "bad" boy in his own sense. Some of the girls from our class showed up and told them that they didn't need the guys to tell us what to do, but we weren't sure where these other girls were doing here, they'd just kind of appeared.

We decided that instead of getting out of the swamp like we were supposed to, we were gonna try and help the guys anyways, and we noticed that by the size of the hole it was made obvious to all of us that someone must've helped him escape, and that the other thing we'd noticed was that the troll had big feet, but there were no foot prints, and they got so far until they disappeared altogether. That someone had cast a spell on the troll to help him get away, since after all trolls can't cast spell.

But then, as we walked farther along, we let our instincts guide us along the right path, that finding a troll in a swamp was a harder quest then any of us could imagine, as we let nature be our guide as we were told to do in the first place. But having no sound sounded really strange.

And where the guys were, they were gonna need our help after all, with every noise they all were making the vines started to pick them off one by one as they all started screaming for help. Except Jack. He was staying calm and quiet, which was surprising to his brother Sky. Jack, what's the matter with you, why aren't you struggling? These plants look familiar, Farrah was telling me about them the other day.

Then the screen would look like it was split in half, as Flora and I were telling the rest of the girls the same thing.... Us 3: They're Quietous Carnivorous they hate noise. Farrah how do you know that? Jack and I were studying plants the other day for our different tests. Jack said he needed to know them because specialists are supposed to recognize their surroundings and plan accordingly. And I was sure these kinds of plants would be on some kind of plant test.

Flora had to teach me everything she knew first, before I could teach it to Jack. Well everything would take forever, she is a flower fairy after all. That's not what I mean Stella. I said shaking my head. Stella decided she had to test it for herself, and then she got tied up, Flora used her nature gifts to calm to the plant down. And where Timmy was screaming for help, Brandon was having a hard time hearing himself think and the plants were only strangling them more.

Calm down, Jack whispered to his team. But they didn't hear him. As he calmed down and stayed quite, and kept from struggling, Jack was able to slip out of the vines, just in the time that we walked by, and he fell into the mud. (Whispering) Jack, need a hand? (Whispering) Thanks, boy am I glad to see you. Riven got upset with us about whispering, and Flora and Musa were both telling them that they all needed to be quite, as Flora calmed down the plants.

We decided it was best at this point if we looked for the troll together, but Riven didn't like that idea. But then we come across a pond, that we need to hope across, and Riven and Brandon and Sky all get into an argument, and once the argument is finished, we start hopping across the stones again, or whatever, but then we find more trouble these whatever are moving, and they were moving towards a whirlpool and we had to team up to get to safe land.

More than a couple of times I'd almost fallen into the water, but Jack had been right there to catch me. Don't worry Snowflake I've got ya. Snowflake? Yeah, its my little nickname for ya. Do you give all the girls your flirt with a nickname? No, just the ones I really like. How many girls have a snow related nickname? Just one and that's you. Oh aren't I lucky? Too be clear you're the only girl I have nickname for. Oh, now I do feel very lucky.

Can you two flirt on your own time? Stella asked us. Says you Stella. I giggled. And I wouldn't call what this is flirting. Oh this is flirting alright hun. Trust me. My, my.... How many nicknames do you plan on giving me? Enough already or I'll push you both in the water. Bloom teased.

Ok, ok. I said finishing hopping across, but Riven was behind us and he missed. He did almost fall in, but I'd reached out for him. Hang on tight Riven. I called for him. Don't let me go. Tempting, but we do need you alive I teased. Soon we were able to pull him out and once we were done there, we'd found the troll along with some of our girls from our class cornered.

Well we had a plan, but it didn't go very well and we had him, but then he was gone again, and he was out looking for the Trix. Bloom and I went to go sit with Jack and Sky, and Sky told us that they can never seem to get anything done as a team, that they only thing they did well was argue. Bloom and I tried to lift their spirits by laughing and smiling, but he was still right. Good thing Timmy was always on the right track, he enlightened Brandon and Riven that if they kept arguing, and so they called a truce.

And once the troll arrived to the Trix they'd thanked him for doing his part, but unfortunately their secret had to parish along with him. Turns out the only problem Icy can't get rid of was Pepe following her around calling her mommy, but once they were done there, they were headed back to cloud tower.

But when our group comes to a halt, we smell negative energy, and can sense someone had cast a spell where we were to get rid the troll, and Bloom bends down to pick up a couple purple feathers, but see that's the funny thing, when we sent Icy her present, we had no idea it was gonna be a duck, or it was purple, so how we knew the Trix were there we had no idea, they never did really explain that in the show.

And when we get back our teacher was impressed by our hard work, despite we came in last place that we'd all learned a lot today, that after all the journey is more important than the destination. And on the way back, despite that the guys failed their mission they could actually agree that a team of specialists had been born that day, and Brandon wanted everyone to stop calling him prince. That it made him feel old.

Imagine what its like for us. Jack pointed out. Think about if you really were the prince, or if there were two of you. He teased. And now you understand another one of the reasons why we all switched ID's. Well Brandon is Sky and Sky is Brandon, and instead of princes we're a "squire". At least for now that is, until we find the right time to tell Bloom and the Stella who we really are, at least you didn't change your name. The real Sky pointed out to his brother.

I mean I could've said that I was Brandon and you were Jack and he was Sky, but that's not how it planned out that way, even if it should've. I mean, I don't like the lies, but at least this way I'm only lying about being a prince. I like Farrah, I don't want to hurt her. He says frowning shaking his head. You're alright little brother. Sky said ruffling his hair.... You're alright. The rest of the guys all laughed, as the flew back peacefully, meanwhile, all the girls were in pj's ready to go to sleep, awaiting for tomorrow's newest adventure in store for us.
