The girls first visit Vanessa who tells them that there is a commotion going on down at the Love &amp; Pet Shop.

They arrive and see that the store is packed with people, busy as ever. Cindy and Carmen are trying to do their best to keep everyone happy and fulfill their requests but there are just too many people and many who are not being patient. Thankfully for them, the Winx came in just in time and Stella freezes everybody. Carmen tells them of the store being constantly busy. Cindy then worries about the customers if they would be angry after unfreezing them. Stella just explains that if you snap your fingers they will appear as if they had just woken up from a daze. Stella unfreezes a woman and Cindy proceeds to help her, the woman's question was if she could get a pet as well.

She appears again in Gregory's Fury as a more prominent character as, sometime during the Winx's stay on Earth, both she and Carmen discover that they possess magical abilities as well. While at the store, both Cindy and Carmen practice their magic as the Winx extend their stay in Gardenia to search for Morgana's necklace. Cindy sees Kiko struggle to get something that is far above his reach. She helps him by levitating him higher but loses control. She catches him just in time. Cindy wonders if they will ever become a good Fairy just like the Winx. Bloom and Flora encourages them to keep practicing, with Bloom giving them a very important advice: never use magic for personal gain. The two Winx leave for their mission when Cindy's phone rings. She checks and realizes she had a date with Gregory and is very late. Carmen promises she has everything under control and tells her to go. Cindy thanks her and quickly leaves.

In front of the Frutti Music Bar, Gregory is there, moody and is about to leave when Cindy stops him and apologizes. They argue, Gregory is frustrated that Cindy spends more time with the Winx especially after she discovered her new "tricks". Cindy argues back, that the "tricks" are magic and as it is a part of her now she needs to learn how use them properly and that is the reason she is spending time with them. Gregory apologizes and Cindy reassures him that her feelings for him are true.



Then, Darren who is infatuated with Cindy comes out of the bar and pesters Cindy about him being a more suitable lover than Gregory. He insults and teases Gregor; having enough, Gregory tells Darren to shut up which he does, his lips are magically sealed. At first, Gregory thought it was Cindy but she realizes it was all him.

She then takes Gregory to the Winx at Bloom's adoptive parents' house. She convinces Gregory to enlist the Wizards of the Fortress of Light to train him but they refuse, upsetting Gregory and he storms out of the house. After awhile, Bloom calls out the girls to come look outside and they see that Gregory had severely damaged the area, they search for him and find him at an abandon lighthouse, gazing at the sea.



Cindy tries to reason with Gregory but the humiliated Gregory is too angry to listen to reason and forces her to choose between him and the Winx. Cindy is shocked that he would ask such a thing but warns him that if he is forcing her, she will leave him. Then the Wizards of the Black Circle appear. Cindy observes as the Wizards convince Gregory to join them and Gregory releasing them from Flora's binds. She asks why he had done that but the Wizards prepare to leave and tell Gregory that they will continue their discussion elsewhere. Stella does not want them to escape and she attacks them. Ogron retaliates and Cindy blocks his attack from hurting Stella but faints because of his immense power.



While she is unconscious, Gregory demands Bloom to restore her health but is also ashamed of what he had done and leaves before she can see him in his state. She regains consciousness thanks to Bloom's Believix magic.

She appears in Gregory's dream, representing his worst fears as she calls him weak because he could not protect her.



The next morning, the Winx and Cindy are in Bloom's room. Cindy cries out of worry for Gregory, she is comforted by the girls, because Bloom tells her that Roxy, Tecna and Stella are looking for him. They locate him in a construction site, and they arrive just in time. Cindy stops Gregory from killing Stella, Tecna and Roxy. She reasons with him, and shows that she does understand him and loves him, she asks that he does the right thing. When Ogron yells at Gregory to stop wasting time and to kill Cindy. Gregory attacks the Wizards, strongly refusing to. They escape but everything is calm now.

Cindy is then left heartbroken as Gregory apologizes and tells she does not deserve someone like him. The two go then go their separate ways.
