Ancrua and Jade run down to Alfea's courtyard, where Specialists and Fairies mingle on the green grass. Silver hangs close to Michael, and as Ancrua runs towards her, Jade hangs back.
"Hey, you never introduced me to your friend here," she jokes with Silver, nudging her in the arm.
She giggles, "Oh, I haven't, have I? Michael, this is Ancrua, my roommate."
Michael waves, "Nice to meet you, Ancrua."
He immediately turns his attention back to Silver, as he asks, "Hey, so Silver, how's your Winx Club coming along?"
Silver gestures to herself and Ancrua, "Well, you're looking at your first members, plus-"
She glances around, and spots Jade hiding behind a nearby column near Alfea's entrance, "Ugh, Jade!"
Silver runs to Jade, and grabs her by the wrist, pulling her towards the crowd of Specialists, "Michael, look, it's Jade!"
Michael leans his head back in surprise, "Jade? What are you doing at Alfea? I thought-"
"Yeah, well, you thought wrong," Ancrua steps in to interrupt him.
"Oh...wow...well, Jade...I've never seen you...in pink," Michael stumbles, turning his head away.
Jade scratches the back of her neck in embarrassment, "Yeah...it's a new look I'm...trying out."
A couple other Specialists wave at Michael, and Michael gestures for them to come over, "Hey guys!"
He turns back towards the girls, "Oh, hey Silver, I want you to meet some of my friends from Red Fountain. This is Francis."
A Specialist with short blue hair waves. Ancrua raises an eyebrow, and whispers to Silver, "I call dibs on that one."
Michael then gestures to a much shorter and far less muscular Specialist with short, wavy purple hair, "And this is Parvati."
Parvati waves, putting one hand behind his back.
Silver giggles, "Jade, you and Parvati should totally date! I can really see you two together."
"Right," Jade laughs off, "me? With a Specialist?"
"Actually, there's a formal dance at Red Fountain coming up. You girls should come," Michael suggests.
Silver gasps, "A dance?! No way, Winx, we have to go to this dance! There'll be romantic atmosphere, we'll be wearing pretty dresses, it'll be the most wonderful, amazing..."
Silver starts to hyperventilate, and Ancrua holds her at her shoulders, "Hey, calm down, now. It's just a dance. No biggie."
"Just a dance?!" Silver takes Ancrua and shakes her, while the Specialists watching chuckle amongst themselves, "Ancrua, I don't think you understand the magnitude of the situation! We're going to be at a dance with boys, and-...ooh! We need to go shopping in Magix! While we're finding our dresses, we could fix Jade's wardrobe."
"My...my wardrobe doesn't need fixing," Jade stutters, shying away.
"I agree. I like pink," Parvati chimes in.
Silver and Ancrua both nudge Jade in the shoulder and wink to her. Jade blushes and looks away.
"Well, good luck finding dates for the dance," Michael waves to the girls.
Silver leaps in front of Jade towards him, "Oh Michael...actually...I was wondering if you'd like to go to the dance with me?"
Jade sighs, and shies away as Michael holds hands with Silver, "Of course, I'd love to go with you Silver."
She cheers, and hugs him, "Great! Also, we should all exchange numbers, in case, you know...we need to get in touch."
All of the girls and the Specialists take out their cell phones. Jade waves her hand, "I can cast a communications spell, so we'll all be up-to-date on each other's phone numbers."
"Thanks, Jade," Michael smiles at her.
She blushes, and looks away.
"Hey, the ship's heading back to Red Fountain," Francis tells the other Specialists.
Michael waves to Silver as the Specialists start to walk back to their ship, "See you later, Silver."
Silver giggles, as she waves back. Once the Specialists are gone, Silver squeals as she hugs Ancrua.
"Oh my gosh! I can't wait for this dance! And I'm totally making sure you two get asked to the dance by Michael's friends too. Ancrua, you'll go with Francis..."
Ancrua chuckles, "We'll see..."
"And Jade! You'll go with Parvati!" Silver finishes.
Jade crosses her arms, "Hmph..."
Silver puts her hand on Jade's shoulder, "What's wrong, Jade?"
She shakes her head, and pushes Silver off of her, "Nothing. I...should be getting back to Cloud Tower."
Jade walks away from Silver and Ancrua, her head bowed downward.
"What could be wrong with Jade?" Silver asks Ancrua.
Ancrua raises an eyebrow at her, "You mean you don't know? Silver...clearly Jade likes Michael, and you just nabbed him right in front of her!"
Silver covers her mouth with both of her hands, "What?! Jade likes Michael? I...I had no idea."
She starts running in the direction Jade went, "Jade! Jade, wait, come back!"
As soon as Silver starts running, Ancrua chases after her, "Hey, wait for me!"
