Taking a small breather from school Bloom, Alastair, our bonded pixies, and I decided to go lay down at a clearing a few feet away. Though unknown to us we were being watched by the headmistress from her office.

"Darkar will target Cloud Tower next to get that piece of the Codex." The Headmistress from Cloud Tower declared knowing what's inevitable.

"If my fairies and your witches work together, they can protect the Codex." Faragonda proposed making the witch annoyed by the proposition.

"You may be right, but still no witch likes the idea of working with fairies. Including myself." Griffin huffed with crossed arms walking out of the shadows.

"Well, we've got to find a way to put aside our differences." The Alfea headmistress stated crossing her arms in return while offering a smile.

"I don't know how, but I know who to ask." The witch stated before turning away and activating her magic around her causing her to disappear.

As soon as the dragon fairy and the rest of our small group returned to Alfea we were met up with the rest of the Winx who informed us that the headmistress was calling all of us to her office. So now we were all standing in front of her desk surprised to see Mirta by Faragonda's side. Though the news that came out of the headmistress' lips shocked all of us.

"What?!" We all asked leaning against Faragonda's desk in shock.

"We're to study at Cloud Tower?!" Bloom asked surprised.

"You can't be serious!" Aisha exclaimed.

"No way I am wearing those tacky witch outfits!" Stella retaliated with a huff as she imagined herself wearing them giving a shudder.

"There must be a reason, headmistress." I stated standing back up and crossing my arms.

"Calm down girls. You know we have to protect the Codex at Cloud Tower." Faragonda declared, standing up from her chair.

"There are absolutely no records of witches ever asking fairies for help." Tecna stated sitting at the corner of the headmistress' desk.

"And that's where Mirta's advice has been most helpful." The head fairy declared sitting back down with a confident smile.

"The witches think that Alfea Fairies have it easy. And the teachers say that fairies wouldn't last two days if they were to take their classes." The short red-haired girl announced with a small smile.

"They sound very prideful." Alastair stated with a flick of his tail.

"So we just got to swallow our pride, is that it?" Musa asked with a huff.

"Fairies weren't slaves to pride like the witches are, correct?" Faragonda claimed, making smiles of agreement appear on our faces as we gave a nod in response. "Then it's settled. If you're willing to take classes at Cloud Tower, Lady Griffin is willing to ask for your help against the Trix." She clarified with a nod of her own.

"An eye for an eye." I inputted getting a sound of agreement from the feline.

"And she won't regret it! The Trix will never be able to get anywhere near the Codex!" The dragon fairy declared leaning confidently against the headmistress' desk.

With that matter settled we said a temporary farewell to our bonded pixies and started our trip to Cloud Tower, which led us to how we were now walking up the long ramp to the school under the humid weather that is naturally produced in the area.

"I wish Piff could have come along." Aisha sighed sadly.

"I'll get you my pretty and your little Piff too!" Zing exclaimed teasingly while using her powers to disguise herself as a witch.
