The power of Winx

Punishment or reward

We (outfit 13) were all in Griselda's office, it was the morning after we got our powers taken away, we were supposed to clean the castle from top to bottom while the rest of the girls went to the concert, she told us that she was gonna do an inspection of our work in the morning, that for now our weapons were gonna be a mop broom and bucket, and we couldn't use any technology either.

This wasn't really a problem for Bloom and I we've grown up without knowing we had powers we've done chores like this plenty. We were supposed to clean the stairs, the bathrooms, classrooms and corroders of the school. We felt like this was gonna take all night. Our next problem was that Techna had no idea what these items were, or how to use them and without use of her gadgets that was a problem, a problem she was failing at, at figuring out on her own.

In a separate area, the rest of us were in a different area, Flora was with Techna, the rest of us were in the gym like area cleaning floors and bleachers or rather Bloom and Musa were cleaning the bleachers and Stella and I were both supposed to be cleaning the floors. When Musa and Stella started arguing. Bloom are you thinking what I'm thinking? I giggled whispering into her ear.

A good ol' Earth water fight? Well not in the traditional sense. Follow my lead. Well I guess two of you give us two no choice. I grab a scrub brush and the slightly evil part of me had I still had my powers would've decided to snap my fingers to make both their sets of shoes come of while I possessed two of these scrub brushes against their feet, but as I giggled at the thought, I knew that couldn't happen, one I didn't have my powers right now and if I did I knew things would never get done.

Instead I took the sponge and wringed it back into the bucket and I used it to splash Stella, and Bloom caught on and did the same to Musa, and soon before we knew it all of us were soaked and on the floor and the area looked like a tornado tore through and we knew we'd never get this part finished.

When the rest of the school left for the concert we decided since it was so sad and empty that we could use some help, and called the specialists to come help us we decided that they could help us and when we were done we could have our own little party. The wasted no time to get here. Stella ran to greet the real Brandon and at Cloud Tower the Trix were furious that we snuck in and got Stella's ring back, and they were gonna find a way to make us all pay.

However there was one witch in particular that felt differently towards us fairies her name was Mirta, and she wanted to understand why the witches hated fairies so much she wanted to get along with us, thought we should be friends, all the other witches mocked her and laughed at her, Prof. Griffin got involved and told them to finish their meal and go to bed.

The Trix decided that since they somehow knew that everyone was gonna be gone tonight that tonight would be a perfect night to get their revenge and look for the dragon fire, they still thought it was possible that Icy had the Mystical Ice power since she was the only known being with ice powers, they hadn't really paid much attention to Bloom or I.

At Alfea again, the guys were convinced we were supposed to be having a party, and we told them what we were supposed to be doing, Musa walked us through a dance on how to mop the floor. Soap rinse dry she told us, we all repeat and turn it into a dance, and Musa grabs some CDs and puts some music on to help us work our way around. All except Riven decides to participate.

Bloom and Sky, and Stella and Brandon and Jack and I were all dancing around with our cleaning supplies. Let me see those. Jack said taking a couple of the scrub brushes. Got tape? Right here, in my backpack. Well that's convenient. He turns the blocks of wood with bristles into pairs of "shoes" and we pour the water out of the buckets and there's soap and water everywhere, and then we grab a mop.

Hop in, he tells me. Like this? Perfect. Give me your hand. We're gonna use the scrub brushes like ice skates. And drag the mops behind us. We can have fun while we work. That's the spirit! Musa told him. When we finish Stella asks Bloom and I how things are going with real Sky and Jack, and we ask her about real Brandon, that this is the chance to get on it. To go talk to the guys.

Timmy and Techna are sitting on a couch not dancing they were both awkward when it came to these things. Musa shows off her dance moves Riven watches her. The Trix show up and they are surprised that people are still there, and when they realize its our group that works perfectly for their plan, and they think of a way that they can distract us so they can take care of their business.

They conjure up a device that helps them look for what they want to try looking for and they also conjure up a monster called the Whip and its so big and it makes a lot of noise, and we stop what we're doing and we go investigate. We were all shaking in both the sense that the school was shaking and in fear.

When we go investigate Techna uses her computer gadget to tell us what kind of monster it was, and we go looking for it. We try to go after the monster we thought it would easy to follow a monster as big as the one that just caused all this damage, however it was proving to be more easily said then done.

Riven decides this is a job for them not us, that after all they're the heroes, and Musa gets angry and leads our group in a separate direction. And the Trix were out in the hall where their device stopped and her duck Pepe appears. She freezes him in a block of ice. They keep looking for the special power.

Where the guys are they are looking fore clues as to where the monster could be but as we follow Musa we run into a "wall" that wasn't there before and by wall I mean the monster. When the guys come to help us, Riven decides he's going alone and doesn't want any help, however when the beast corners Riven, and tosses him to the side the Trix are there they stop, they see him. Darcy finds that he has great negative energy and that the other two witches decide that he might be useful along the way sometime in the near future.

However when we're done there, we decide we'd like to know how the monster got here in the first place, and then we see Pepe on ice, and decide that the Trix are here and that we need to go into Faragonda's office and use her crystal ball to help us solve this mystery. We know its against the rules but we're not really given much of a choice at the moment. We needed to stop whatever was going on.

However the Trix are already there and they're looking for the dragon fire, and it emits two bright glows which signals the mystic ice power too, and they now know it was in the room somewhere, and that Icy isn't the only one with ice powers. Faragonda appears in the office as well. The monster gets captured, the guys give their goodbyes to the girls and take the monster back to Red Fountain, and Grizelda is also there now too. The Trix get scolded by Faragonda and will be sure to write a formal complaint to her about her girls and she teleports them away from Alfea.

In Faragonda's office she looks at the situation as a whole and decides that our punishment has lasted long enough, and returns our powers back to us. She reminds us that beautiful roses will bloom in time and that she knows that we will too and how someday we'll become real full fairies and until then we've got a long road ahead of us to get past.

This could only mean one thing that if roses are blooming, and I've been hearing everyone getting excited for the day of the rose.... Then that must be what is coming for us tomorrow. The day of the rose? That sounds a lot like some form of Valentine's Day. Who knows what will happen to us tomorrow, tonight we have our powers and we're just glad we're not being punished anymore. I for one can say that I've learned my lesson.
