A.N.: I didn't add a paragraph of the Winx' fairy outfits, so let me know if you need me to add that or if it doesn't bother you.

When Subari woke up, she was lying on her bed in her treehouse bedroom. She didn't remember getting into bed, let alone going to sleep. As a matter of fact, she didn't even remember getting home! She pushed herself up, but felt her arms give way and fell back into bed. She was exhausted. What had happened?

"You're awake," she heard Cristina's voice say. Subari turned to the door, where there had actually never been a door, and saw her artistic friend carry a wooden bowl. Cristina frowned and came over to Subari's bed. "When did you wake up?"

"Just now. Umh, what happened? How did we get back?"

"You don't remember? Anything at all?"

"I remember passing you guys' test, but everything after that is a blur. What's in the bowl?" she nodded towards the hand-carved bowl Cristina was holding.

"Oh! This is just some broth. We've been trying to keep you fed because there wasn't much else we could do."

Subari took the bowl, but when she sipped it, the broth was barely lukewarm. "This is practically cold!"

"Yeah, I know, but we weren't sure what to do. We didn't want to wake you up all startled from the heat or accidentally burn you with hot broth. Not unlike what you did with that ankylosaurus," Cristina rambled, but she bit her lip when she finally mentioned the elephant in the room.

"Ankylosaurus?" Similar to when she had seen the dinosaur, Subari was triggered by the reptile's name, only this time it wasn't rage, but memories that flooded her. She saw herself attacking the ankylosaurus...burning it...killing it...She saw the flames that had engulfed her, but hadn't seemed to have hurt her. She saw the enormous burst of energy...and she thought she saw the energy had been shaped like a dragon.

"Is it all coming back to you?" Cristina asked, but Subari just nodded. "I'll call the others."

A little later, Subari was surrounded by the other Winx. She had wrapped her arms around her legs and was avoiding eye contact with her friends.

"I have to tell you guys something," she managed to utter.

"Like why you attacked that harmless dinosaur?" Jenny shot back. She was disappointed in her friend because she had killed an innocent creature, even though fairies were supposed to protect all innocent life.

"Yes, it's something I haven't told anyone before, mostly because...well...who was I going to tell? Anyway, do you remember that I told you my parents were dead?"

"Yeah, you said they were killed, but that you didn't remember much of that day," Natsuki recalled.

Subari nodded. "That's partially true. I don't remember much of the day that my parents were killed, but the bits and pieces that I do remember were seared into my memory. The day started out just like any other day: I woke up, mom made breakfast and then we all went to a triceratops herd nearby for my dad's observations. Everything was normal, just the way it had always been.

When we got back from the triceratops herd, my mom told me to go fetch some vegetables from the garden for lunch. It was a lovely day, so I didn't rush to get back. I lingered in the garden and ate a couple berries and I remember thinking: 'I hope mom doesn't find out I snacked before lunch'," Subari smiled as she reminisced about her innocent youth.

"When I finally headed back home, I saw our stuff scattered over the grass as if a whirlwind had blown it from our treehouse or something big had stormed through. I called for my parents, but they didn't answer, so I ran around looking for them and that's when I saw the ankylosaurus.
