Winx Club season 6 episode 1 rewrite/transcript

Hello all, Thomas (Unicorn of War) here. Hi. Greeting. Salutations. I’m very awkward  off-script, Jesus. So as the title implies, this is not going to be the full season 6  rewrite. I know, I’m sorry, this production is taking a long time. I’m a one-man band,  fam. I’ve actually considered making a video on what the whole process has been like,  not only just the writing but also the modeling, the set design, the rigging,  the posing, all that stuff. If you guys think that would be fun, let me know in the comments. But I figured since the wait is so long, I might as well give you guys a little teaser  of what to expect. So this is goin to be the first episode of the season 6 rewrite with my narration, along with my beautiful little models giving you visuals (hmm, that sounds odd). As a heads up,  everything is subject to change of course because… I’m me. Some of the visuals might  be further polished upon final release, probably early 2023. Some of the story might  change in any additional drafting or editing. But yeah, please enjoy the first episode of my  rewrite of Winx Club season 6. Here we go. Episode 1: “Woes Of An Alfea Alumna.”

Episode 1

Our story begins in the Forest of Flowers, where a young Bloom and Selina chase flower-shaped  wisps floating through the trees. Selina says they should race to see who can catch them,  only for Bloom to race ahead. Selina, trying to catch up, trips, and Bloom immediately  comes back to help her up. They come across a field of lenugias, only to lose the wisps,  upset given they believed they were going to lead them to the supposed fairy godmother  who lived out here. Seeing how upset Bloom is, Selina suggests they take a break and stargaze. As they lie down, we transition to a few years later with Bloom and Selina as preteens. Bloom  feels like she shouldn’t be out so late, given her parents are probably worried about her,  but Selina reassures Bloom they can handle themselves. After all,  what could ever happen to them so long as they have each other? Bloom just wishes magic was real,  like they thought when they were little, so that she could become a fairy and get away from Mitzi  and the other kids at school who’ve always picked on them. Selina says she’d much rather be a witch,  and use her magic to make Mitzi’s life a living nightmare, which Bloom can’t help but chuckle at. While Bloom looks at the stars and comments on their beauty, Selina looks to Bloom, agreeing,  then sighs and looks to the moon. Selina says if magic ever turns out to be real, they should  learn it together and go on adventures as a fairy and witch duo. Bloom agrees, and the two make a  promise to always be together. We then cut to the present, where Selina - hiding out in the woods  by Alfea - plots her scheme. She’s been waiting for the right moment to strike. She says it won’t  be long now, and tells Bloom she’s looking forward to their reunion. As Selina looks down upon Alfea,  Bloom looks up out the window from one of the classrooms, and gets an odd chill. As Professor Wizgiz calls out to his ever-distracted teaching assistant,  Bloom apologizes. Wizgiz again explains that as part of the new school year, they’re going  over the basics of metamorphosis. Roxy raises her hand, and Wizgiz rolls his eyes, saying,  “Yes, Roxy, even the second years.” First on the list is the classic “pumpkin head” lesson. Wizgiz  reminds the young fairies that metamorphosis requires intense focus and mental clarity;  you must understand what you’re trying to transform into, as well as yourself if you  want to transform back without any hiccups. Bloom goes first to set the example.  All the students pull this off and change back, but when Bloom tries to change back,  she can’t. She’s incredibly embarrassed, and most of the students laugh while Roxy  is visibly concerned. Wizgiz assures everyone that this happens to the best of us sometimes.  He uses his old rat technique to scare the living daylights out of Bloom, turning her  back to normal, but also sending her falling. He then promises his rat grandfather that they’ll one  day find a cure for his transformation, to which the rat says, “Thanks, Wizzy.” After class, Roxy tries to talk to Bloom. Bloom says she’s okay. To lighten the mood,  Roxy jokes about how she definitely could’ve used some metamorphosis tricks against Duman way back  then. But even as Roxy jokes, Bloom just seems out of it and asks to be left alone. Hesitantly,  Roxy abides. Bloom heads back to her room in the professors’ wing, admitting it’s not as cozy as  the old Winx dorm, especially without any of them there. But at least Kiko is there to greet her. Bloom scrolls through her phone, getting glimpses of what the other Winx have been  up to on their social media. At this point, it’s been several months since the end of season 5,  and Bloom hasn’t seen any of the other Winx the whole summer. Sky, meanwhile, seems to be  completely off social media, which Bloom assumes is his way to focus on important kingly duties  on Eraklyon. And as for Stella, she did visit Bloom in Gardenia over the summer. As she looks  at Stella’s picture with Brandon, she can’t help but blush and quickly turn off her phone. Kiko tries to cheer Bloom up, and Bloom takes that as a prompt to try and start drawing again to take  her mind off things. Only problem? The creative block is strong. Every time she tries to put  pencil to paper, she stops, thinks over what she’s about to do, then gives up. Repeat this cycle  several times. Bloom thinks about how she wants to proceed, and picks up her pencil again. This time,  she draws figures in the distance, looking away. Bloom draws herself, reaching out for them. After a long while, Faragonda pays a visit and asks if Bloom would like to join her for a walk.  As they stroll through Alfea, Faragonda asks about her drawing. Bloom admits that without  the other Winx, she’s been lonely. Ever since Sky lost his memory, she’s had this deep fear of it happening with everyone else in her life. Faragonda nods, saying that sometimes,  life pulls people you love into different directions, and it’s beyond anyone’s control.  That doesn’t mean they’ll never see each other again, but it does mean that accepting these  changes when they happen will help you more gracefully grieve and move forward. Trying  to hold onto something can keep you from growing, and damage what you once loved. Faragonda then takes Bloom to a special chamber within the Hall of Enchantments.  A massive magical heart spins within a small garden filled with butterflies of light. This is  the heart of Alfea, the source of the school’s magical energy, much like Cloudtower’s heart.  Faragonda asserts that all magic comes from the heart of living things, and Alfea is no  different. You must always stay in touch with yourself and your true feelings in order for your magic to remain strong. That even applies to the Fairy of the Dragon Flame. Bloom relates  this to what Maia told her back on Pyros about how all magical beings have a unique magical essence. In any case, a holiday is coming up called the Sparx Festival: a celebration held every hundred  years marking the Great Dragon’s creation of the universe. As such, Faragonda feels Bloom - as  the Dragon Flame’s wielder - has earned some much-needed time off. When Bloom is hesitant, Faragonda says that in times like this, where the path ahead is dark and winding,  it’s best to go back to your roots to heal and find yourself again, then chart a new path. Bloom  can’t help but take this as a bruise to her ego, given she knows she hasn’t exactly been stellar  in her role at Alfea, but agrees to Faragonda’s wishes. After all, what other choice is there? We then cut to Magix City, where Bloom is about to use the teleporter to return to Gardenia, and Roxy is seeing her off. Bloom’s a bit embarrassed about inconveniencing her parents,  but Roxy assures her they won’t mind getting to spend more time with her.  Bloom mentions missing the Winx, which admittedly hurts Roxy a bit,  but she hides it as Bloom and Kiko head off. As Roxy heads back to Alfea, however, she notices  a hooded figure watching from a distance, who quickly disappears once their eyes meet. Stella, meanwhile, has been cooped up in the Solarian Royal Palace, using the Hall of the Universe and all the books she can get her hands on to learn about Solaria’s history.  When Brandon finds her, Stella’s visibly exhausted and kinda losing it. However,  she mentions how she can’t find anything on Solaria before they destroyed Selenia, the  neighboring Kingdom of the Moon. All she can find are records of how then Queen Theia of Solaria  “unified” the world with a group of paladins. Brandon tries to help Stella relax, saying that  however she wants to learn about her heritage, he’ll help. But he also wants her to take care  of herself, and let him know she’s okay. Stella apologizes, then asks how Sky’s been  doing. Brandon’s a bit hesitant to answer, but insists he’s doing fine. Brandon asks about Bloom,  to which Stella, hiding her blush, says she hasn’t really been in touch with Bloom for a while, or any of the Winx for that matter, making no mention of the summer visit. Brandon’s about to ask  something else, but stops himself, saying Stella will know where to find him if she needs anything. On Lynphea, meanwhile, Flora works as an instructor at the Marigold Institute  of Natural Magic, leading a class of students in creating potions from magical funghi. Her sister,  Miele, excels in this, given she’s become the Fairy of Fungus. After class, Miele mentions  how resistant their mother was in letting her come here. Flora says it was the same for her, and she’s still shocked she let her go to Alfea after Marigold. Miele mentions  how her mother is still asking about why Flora hasn’t visited, and whether Flora’s dating anyone, which clearly has Flora exhausted. Over on Melody, Musa is at the Golden Auditorium,  strumming sad chords and putting together sappy lyrics (probably “Heart of stone,” let’s be real). Galatea checks in on her, though Musa tries to lighten the mood by making a joke about  how she should’ve seen this coming. Still, she’s taken aback given how much progress she and Riven  had made since returning to the Magical Universe. Riven just said the usual, “I need to find myself  for a while” and “It’s not you, it’s me,” which does in fact mean it’s you. At the very least,  churning out a debut breakup album shouldn’t be too difficult now. When Galatea asks,  Musa clarifies that he just asked they “take a break,” but that was two months ago,  and it’s been radio silence since. To her, the message is loud and clear. On Zenith, Tecna is attending a royal meeting with her parents and King Cryos. She’s been trying to  follow in her parents’ footsteps as royal advisors to get closer to them, though it’s clear it’s both  stressful and uninteresting to her. After the meeting, she checks her phone to see missed  calls from Timmy. Her parents take note, looking over her shoulder and commenting that their day is  far from over, and Tecna shouldn’t let something as irrational as love distract her from important  matters. Tecna goes along with it, but it’s clear she’s absolutely reaching her limit. On Andros, Aisha greets Nabu as he wakes up with breakfast, consisting of overcooked scrambled  bollabie eggs and burned toast. Aisha admits she’s not the best cook, and Nabu clearly doesn’t like  it all that much, but he’s quick to scarf it down to try and make Aisha happy. Aisha goes over their  plan for the day, including her taking him to his physiomagic therapy session with Taboc the Wise,  but Nabu - seeing how tired Aisha is - tells her that she doesn’t have to. His parents have  it covered - he is home, after all. He encourages Aisha to go have fun,  and they can go for dinner later that night. Reluctantly, Aisha leaves, where she’s met  by Roy, who accompanied her here. Roy says that Nabu has a good point, to which Aisha responds,  I don’t think I asked you.” She apologizes for snapping, but Roy doesn’t mind. Aisha  says she’s been meaning to catch up with her cousins Nereus and Tressa anyway. Roy nods,  saying he’s gonna head back to the palace. When Aisha asks about him tagging along - since Roy is  prone to acting like her shadow to “protect her” - Roy says he’s trying to get better at recognizing  when he’s hurting more than he’s helping. We then cut to Earth, where Bloom is working  at Love & Pet again, this time in Stella’s old grooming department with Morgana as her boss.  It does help to lift her spirits a bit, but she’s still not feeling too great about herself. Her old aura reading ability returns - something she hasn’t been able to do in years, for reasons she  never fully understood. And of course, it’s when customers unhappy with Bloom’s perpetual mental  fog try to mask their disappointment, letting their auras do even further harm to Bloom’s ego.

After her shift, one of Bloom’s coworkers - a girl named Macy - asks if she wants to  join her for drinks at the Frutti Music Bar. She’s hesitant, but Bloom decides she has  nothing better to do and obliges. There, they bond over horror stories or irate customers,  and some of Morgana’s odd mannerisms, since while she’s a lovely woman, she’s also a tad tyrannical  as the shop’s new owner. Then again, what do you expect from the former queen of fairies? The fun is interrupted by none other than Mitzi, who’s surprised to see her “old friend” desperate  enough for company that she’d stoop to her kid sister. Bloom’s certainly surprised, given she’d  never even known Mitzi had a sister. But then again, it’s Mitzi - who wants to know anything  about her beyond what they have to? Especially when she’s also trying to pitch her latest “new business” in selling awful-smelling essential oils and talking about becoming a “boss babe”? Macy admits she’s heard a lot about Bloom and, in a way, always looked up to her. In fact,  Macy reveals that she’s been noticing something about herself changing. Magic is starting to show itself around her, and she was hoping that maybe Bloom would know what to do. Before Bloom can respond, she gets that same feeling of being watched, then spots a mysterious figure, their face obscured by a hood, staring from afar. Bloom gives chase, only for the girl to display dark magic to ward Bloom off. She corners the girl and gets down her hood,  revealing brown eyes and long, green hair. Bloom is confused at first, but feels splitting pain in  her head as she flashes back to her younger years, getting glimpses of herself with the girl in the forest. Bloom mutters, “Selina?” Selina takes the opportunity to get some distance. She summons a strange book she calls the Legendarium, and reading aloud,  she gives rise to monsters called Fire Eaters. They cover her escape as Bloom transforms into  Enchantix. Unfortunately, these beasts seem to only be strengthened by the Dragon Flame. Frustrated, Bloom uses Supernova, only to accidentally set the bar  aflame as the Fire Eaters continue wreaking havoc. Even her fairy dust isn’t working. Thankfully Morgana - along with Mike and his firefighting crew - arrive to help mitigate  the damage and evacuate the bar. Still, Bloom finds herself unable to stop the Fire Eaters,  though Morgana’s illusions do help push them back a bit. Macy suggests instead of fighting fire with fire, they instead fight with water. Though Bloom does joke about wishing she still had Sirenix, she and Morgana work to push the Fire Eaters onto the beach. However, such a simple approach doesn’t seem to work, as even the ocean is unable to douse the monsters’ flame. Bloom chastises herself, tearing up and blaming herself for being unable to stop the monsters’  rampage. Macy picks up on the Fire Eaters growing stronger as Bloom gets more upset  at herself. Morgana holds off the Fire Eaters while telling Bloom and Macy to figure out how  to stop these things, and Macy insists Bloom must face whatever’s upsetting her. Unfortunately,  knowing logically that this is the answer doesn’t make Bloom’s struggle any easier. Stronger than ever before, the Fire Eaters prepare to fully absorb Bloom’s power and negativity. Mike rushes to protect her, and it’s when her father is in danger that Bloom’s love  for him overpowers her feelings of guilt. She drags herself out of her self-pity and fights back. Using her Fire Catcher spell, she manages to dissolve the Fire Eaters into literal flames,  which she absorbs, though she’s clearly winded and transforms back into civilian form. With the day saved, Bloom struggles to remember how she knows the green-haired girl, and even finds her name slipping from her memory. She repeats it over and over: Selina, Selina. As Macy asks if she’s okay, Bloom insists she’s fine and encourages her to attend Alfea. Morgana mentions that Nebula is also working with the Major Fairies to set up a magic school here on Earth, but for the time being, she could go to Alfea and decide to transfer if she’d like. Macy’s not sure about leaving home, but Bloom insists she already has plenty of new friends waiting there. She’s going to write a letter of recommendation to Faragonda on Macy’s behalf, and she also tells Macy that when she gets there, to look for a girl named Roxy and say that Bloom sent her.

We then cut to a few days later, where Macy arrives at Alfea with Bloom’s letter, right on time for us to see the rest of the Winx chilling in the quad and catching up on what they’ve been up to… of course, glossing over all the problems they’ve been having and sharing only highlights. Stella specifically is relieved when Bloom isn’t present, but tries to hide that from the others. Faragonda and Roxy greet the Winx, and after a quick hug, Faragonda thanks the Winx for taking  time out of their schedules for the upcoming festivities for the Sparx Festival. The girls ask where Bloom is, and Faragonda assures that she has something else in mind for Bloom right now. Macy is a bit nervous about approaching Faragonda. Another student - whose face  we don’t see yet - asks if she’s got the first day jitters too. She assures Macy they’ve got nothing to worry about. She then asks about the letter, and when Macy mentions it’s for Miss Faragonda, the girl brazenly yells out for the headmistress’ name, which visibly annoys Griselda. Macy quickly explains it’s from Bloom. When Faragonda reads it over, she welcomes Macy to Alfea. She then turns to the other girl and asks for her name, and as she says it, we finally see her face: Selina.

Oh god, recording that took longer than expected. Anyway, there you go: the first episode of the season 6 rewrite, which will be coming out in early 2023. And no, I can’t give a day beyond that because oh my god. If you enjoyed this, then be sure to let me know in the comments. Subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already, possibly pledge on Patreon if you’d like, which further enables me to continue doing what I do. If you enjoyed my storytelling then you can  check out my book, De Cineribus: From the Ashes, which is a new adult urban fantasy novel. It’s  less magical girl than Winx, but it is very, very gay, and very angsty, so y’all might like  that. Do we have anything else to say? No. Okay, alright, it’s been a shit show y’all.
