Dorm room/Scene 1

James was feeling a little exhausted, she had just finished a mission that was assigned to her by Tecna. It involved foiling an assassination attempt on some guy in a convenience store for some reason.

Clad in one of her favorite spy suits and running back towards Alfea, James was soon on the rooftop above her shared dorm room. She then jumped onto the balcony and entered through there.

"Oh hey James, perfect timing too!" said Bloom as she sat on her bed.

"Why? Has something else come up?" asked James.

"Something like that but its more like a game actually. If you'll come with me, I'll take you to the students who are trying to solve this riddle. Even I can't make heads or tails of it" said Bloom.

"Just give me a moment to change first" said James as she turned towards her closet.

"I think you look alright, come on" said Bloom with a smirk as she walked towards the door.

"Well if she's alright with me being in my spy suit, who am I to argue?" said James with a smirk of her own as she followed Bloom.

Traveling to Solaria, James and Bloom soon met up with Stella in the mountains. She was with the students who were trying to solve this riddle and they were also right next to a cave.

"Hey Stella, we're here!" shouted Bloom.

"Hi Bloom! Oh and James made it too! Excellent! We could certainly use her help now......and I see she's also wearing her favorite piece of clothing" said Stella with a grin.

Walking up to them, the students eyed the newcomers and they were certainly glad to see them.

"So where is this riddle?" asked James.

"It's right here miss James and if I may, you do look lovely" said a student with hands held near her chest.

"Aw, thanks! Now let's see this riddle" said James as she took the paper and looked at it.

"So what do you think?" asked the student.

"The trial of light and shadows. Once a day, the unbreakable glass appears in the valley of light. Beware for though it is glass, it is far from fragile. To achieve the impossible, fight with a power that's greater than physical might" said James.

"So what do you think James? Do you have any idea of what that means?" asked Bloom.

"Well obviously the objective here is to try and break this unbreakable glass but there's something else that's puzzling me" said James.

"What is it?" asked another student.

"This is only half of the puzzle and riddle. It's called the trial of light and shadows and yet the message I'm seeing only speaks of light. Which means that there must be more, the second half must be hidden somewhere on this piece of paper" said James.

"Well whatever it is, let's think about this in the shade before I pass out" said the final student.

"Oh! That's it, you're a genius! You solved it!" said James as she quickly ran into the cave.

"Thanks....but what did I do? All I did was complain about the heat" said the student as she followed James into the cave with the others.

"Oh but that's not all you did. You suggested that we read this message in the shade and look, it's revealed the missing piece!" said James.

"Oh yeah, the symbols on the paper have changed" said Stella.

"Yes, out there only the message of light could be seen. But blocking the sun by being in a dark place such as a cave revealed the message of the shadows" said James.

"So what does it say now?" asked Bloom.

"......It seems that this final piece is needed because this is where it really matters when the first half of the trial is completed, I'll read it out loud for everyone. When light is extinguished, the true test begins. For a creature of darkness it brings to replace the creature of light. But only the righteous and peaceful may pass and receive the endowment of their wishes" said James.

"I'll take a picture so that we can see it later for reference" said a student as she brought out her phone.

"And now that I've done my part, I need to rest" said James.

"I understand, you just came back from a mission after all. I'll see you later Stella, I'll be taking James back to Alfea" said Bloom.

"Ok, see you two later!" said Stella cheerily before walking off with the students.

Upon reaching Alfea, James immediately fell asleep in bed and she was definitely sleeping happily and comfortably in her spy suit.


Ballet school/Scene 2

The winx were about to attend a ballet lesson since Flora had suggested they started dancing in the first place and they were getting pretty good at it. They soon reached the school and they soon entered it.

"Ok girls, time to change" said Bloom.

"Hey Bloom, I know this is gonna sound weird but my ballet tights are gone!" said Stella as she rummaged through her bag.

"Hey, mine too......" said Flora as she searched through her bag.

"Girls, I think all of our tights have vanished!" said Musa.

"I'm calling James, maybe we left them behind at Alfea" said Bloom as she brought out her phone.

"But I know I packed them in my bag......." said Stella.

"Maybe we should wear them to the ballet school from now on........." said Musa.

"Yeah.......ballet has strict rules and unless we're fully dressed, we can't participate" said Flora.

Back at Alfea, James heard his phone ringing and he soon answered it. Upon hearing of their problem, James immediately began looking around.

"I've searched all of your closets and each of you are missing a pair of tights but that's to be expected since you said that you've all brought a pair with you" said James.

"See, I knew I brought one with me!" came Stella's voice through the phone.

"In that case, can you quickly bring a pair of ballet tights here? One for each of us? I think it's pointless to try and find our missing pairs now" asked Bloom.

"Ok, I'll meet you at the school's entrance" said James.

Gathering six pairs of tights and carrying them, James ran towards the school and he soon saw the entrance. But upon arriving there, James bumped into someone and soon both James and the man were lying on the ground.

Also because of the impact, all of the pink tights that James was carrying got thrown into the air and they were soon floating down on him.

The same thing was happening to the man that James had bumped into, he's the thief that had stolen the girls' tights.

Hearing the impact, the winx immediately rushed outside and they were quick to help James up. Seeing the unconscious man and the twelve tights on the ground, they immediately knew that they had found their culprit.

"Hehe, thanks James. At least now, we have no shortage of our lovely pink tights" said Bloom as she lifted a pair from James's head.

"Heh, you're welcome" said James with a blush as he began helping the girls to pick up the tights before arresting the man.
