A.N.: I added an image for Natsuki's wings, so you have a clear idea of what I mean.

Once on Pyros, the young Winx fairies changed back to their human form. Natsuki and Cristina released the captain, who was grateful to feel solid ground beneath his feet. Clearly the poor man didn't like to fly. Then again, how safe would you feel dangling in the air between two teenage girls? So while the captain fell on the ground and made a dirt angel, the girls discussed what to do first.

"So...we're on Pyros. What now?" Melody asked.

"Some clothes would be nice," Natsuki said, her arms folded across her chest. Although Pyros had a tropical climate, a red bikini was hardly the most appropriate outfit. Neither were Cristina's baggy overalls, Melody's vintage bathing suit, nor Jenny's high-end couture.

"I can fix that right away," Cristina grinned as she fished a small sketchbook from her pocket. As a sketch artist, she carried one around at all times, just in case. With a pencil she started drawing a set of five outfits and thanks to her magic they appeared as soon as she'd finished drawing them. Soon, the Winx and the captain had donned the beige jungle getups Cristina had conjured up.

"Okay, now let's find the fairy who lives here and take her back to Alfea," Jenny declared. She was already headed into the nearby jungle when Cristina spoke up:

"But how? I don't know if you noticed, but a sea dragon..."

"It wasn't a dragon," Natsuki interrupted. All eyes turned to her.

"Okay, then what was it?"

Natsuki shrugged. "I don't know. It just wasn't a dragon, that's all. Dragons can fly, you know." Because of her Japanese background in dragon worship, Natsuki was the authority on dragons in the group. If she said the monster that attacked their boat wasn't a dragon, no one was going to question her.

Cristina rolled her eyes. "As I was saying, a sea reptile destroyed our only connection to the outside world. Even if we find this new fairy, how will we get her back to Alfea?"

"We could make a new boat," the captain offered. Surprised, the girls turned to him. They had already forgotten he was there. They were such a tight-knit group it was hard to adjust to having another person around. "I mean, Cristina just spawned these clothes, right? Can't she also make a new boat appear...magically?"

"She could, but we'd still have no way to get in touch with Headmistress Faragonda," Jenny frowned. The more they talked about it, the more she felt they were stranded on Pyros, trapped forever. The boat was a good idea, but it only got them off the island and not off the planet. They needed to contact Miss Faragonda, so she could send a spaceship to pick them up.

"Maybe we should find shelter first. Or food. It seems like we'll be stuck here for a little while," Natsuki suggested. Everyone agreed that was the best plan of action. Natsuki and the captain ventured into the jungle to collect wood for a shelter, while Cristina and Jenny searched for food and Melody for water. They didn't stray too far away from each other, though. They were on the Island of the Dragons after all.

While the captain chopped down trees, Natsuki collected the wood. Earlier, Cristina had drawn an ax, which created a real one for the captain. Even though Natsuki didn't like serving as a mule to carry the wood, she was happy the captain did all the chopping. Because of her floral magic, she hated the idea of hurting the trees.

She had just picked up the final branch when she heard the captain scream. She immediately dropped the wood and ran towards his screams. Yet when she also felt the earth shudder and heard a rumbling roar, she froze in place. Next, the captain jumped into view, huffing and puffing as he ran for his life.
