Winx Club: Guardians of the Dragon Flames

Save the First Dance

At Alfea, the girls were in Professor Wizgiz's class. "Good morning, everyone." He greeted them. "As usual, it befalls me to kick off the school year. For those of you who haven't met me yet, I am Professor Wizgiz, your teacher of Metamorphosis. Or as I prefer to call it, the art of changing....the way you look."

His voice and outlook turns into Griselda. Other girls in the class was shocked at what he could do and cheered. "Oh, that's nothing." he tells the class. "By year's end, you'll do better than that. And since every ending must have a beginning...." He then brings out mirrors for each of the girls. "let's start with a simple exercise. Concentrate....look in the mirror....look at yourself and think about changing the color of your hair."

Dawn tilts her head to the side, thinking about the color of her hair. One girl turns her hair to a shade of honey brown. Bloom and Dawn then looks over at Stella before looking back at their mirrors. Closing their eyes, they both thought of changing their hair color blonde only for Bloom's hair to remain the same and Dawn's hair turned a shade darker than usual.

"Eh?" said Dawn. "That's not what I was going for."

"Huh?" said Bloom, looking at her sister. "You turned a shade darker."

"Yeah, hair wise. I wasn't even trying to make it look darker." said Dawn. "I was trying to make it lighter."

"Don't worry, Bloom and Dawn." Wizgiz tells them. "If at first, you don't succeed, try again." Both girls smiled, wanting to try again.

"Let's try again, okay?" Bloom asked Stella.

"Okay, one last time and that's it." said Stella, getting a little frustrated as Flora waters one of her plants. "School's just beginning if you don't get it today, it's not the end of the world."

"We know that, Stella." Dawn said, giving her a small smile.

"But where we come from, there's a saying, 'Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today'." Bloom tells Stella.

"Where I come from, we have no such expression." said Stella. "And we're all much more relaxed."

"It means that you shouldn't procrastinate, Stella." said Dawn. "Since Wizgiz gave us the homework, Bloom and I want to make sure that we get the ideal hair transformation right."

"Stella, please?" begged Bloom.

"Great! Now you have her using the look that I've only seen on Lavender when she wants more food." Dawn told Stella.

"Oh, all right. But remember, concentrate." said Stella. "Think of a color and imagine your hair starting to change." Dawn closes her eyes and takes a deep breath while Bloom closes her eyes and starts to concentrate hard.

"New color spreading slowly from the root to the tip of your hair." Stella tells them.

When Bloom opens her eyes, her bangs were sticking up. "Great! See what I end up with?" she asked Stella, pointing to her hair.

"Bloom, you're not paying attention." said Stella. "You're not concentrating enough."

"Well, at least something happened and that's progress." said Flora. Stella looks at Bloom and starts laughing.

"Uh....guys." said Dawn, looking at her hair in the mirror.

"Huh?"

She then leans over and takes a closer look at Dawn's hair as Dawn looked shocked in the mirror. "Wow....second time's the charm." Bloom tells her, picking up a strand of her sister's now blonde hair.

"Think it's the meditation?" asked Dawn.

"Possibly." said Bloom. Stella starts laughing again, this time at Dawn as well.
