Winx Club - Episode 112/Cinélume Script

Intro/Recap
Narrator: Flora is preparing for her exam by going back to Black Mud Swamp together with the Winx. Another mystery of the Magix universe has been discovered, the world of the algae nymphs. The Winx courageously succeed in freeing them, demonstrating that they really are a united group.

Scene: Magix City
*Bloom and Brandon (Sky) are sitting at a cafe table. Kiko and Lady are on the ground beneath the table.* Brandon (Sky): These are incredible dreams you're having. So every night this nymph reveals herself a bit more? You say she calls you by name and her voice sounds familiar, huh? Bloom: She looks familiar too, but I don't know why. Brandon (Sky): Maybe you've seen her before. Bloom: Well, that's not the point, it's like every night it's a new episode of this dream. It's not by accident. It's as if she's showing me the way. Brandon (Sky): Do you think it's because you found out that you're a fairy and not just an ordinary Earthling? Bloom: Why do I possess such powers? And why do they seem to come to me so easily? So naturally? Daphne, the nymph in my dreams, she wants to tell me something, but I don't know what. And you know the temple in the square? The nine nymphs are sculpted on the façade. Well, the middle nymph? That's Daphne. Night after night I hear her call my name and bids me to come to her. Brandon (Sky): Did you say Daphne? Bloom: A few days ago I went to the library and there were tons of books about Daphne and when I went back there wasn't even one. Obviously someone made them disappear. But I don't understand why. There are so many things going on. Brandon (Sky): Daphne, huh? I know just what we need. This is a job for Timmy; I'll let him loose in the library at Red Fountain and then- Lady, please, stop pulling. You'll see, Timmy will find whatever information you need, I am sure of it. Brandon (Sky): Gotta go now, see you later, Bloom! Bloom: Thanks, Brandon! See you!
 * Brandon (Sky) and Bloom leave the cafe and start walking around the city, walking Lady.*
 * A flashback of Bloom in the library is shown.*
 * Lady starts pulling at her leash and barking.*
 * Lady pulls Brandon (Sky) away.*

Scene: Simulation Hall
Palladium: Everybody! I'm glad to say the simulator is up and running again after Bloom's mishap. If I'm not mistaken there are still several students who must take the test. Flora, Musa, Tecna, Stella, also Priscilla, Ortensia, and Luna. I hope you're all ready. Student #1: Now I wish I could make myself disappear. Student #2: Me too! Exams make me incredibly nervous. Student #3: I don't think it's such a difficult exam. It's more like an exercise except that we get a grade. You'll see, it'll be okay. Student #1: Easy for you to say, you're always studying. For the rest of us though- Palladium: I see that Stella has a few failures to make up for but she's not with us today. Could it be an evasive action? Bloom: She wasn't feeling well this morning, Professor. She told me that she was going to stop by the infirmary. Maybe she'll come later. Palladium: I hope that whatever she has it's not too serious. However when you do see her, tell her that I'm waiting. She's late on many assignments.

Scene: Simulation Room
*Flora is in the simulation room and she walks to the end of the catwalk.* Palladium (through the intercom): Well, Flora, which of the two missions have you chosen? Flora: I'll use magic to fight off one of the most terrible effects of the witches' powers: sadness. Palladium (through the intercom): Good. Flora: I've been preparing for this in the Black Mud Swamp and now I'm ready.

Scene: Simulation Control Room
Palladium: Excellent, alright then. Ready to begin?

Scene: Simulation Room
Palladium (through the intercom): Remember, maximum concentration and remain calm.
 * The simulation room activates and the test begins.*

Scene: Infirmary
*Bloom knocks on the door to the infirmary and opens it.* Bloom: May I? Nurse: Come on in. Nurse: Bloom? What's the matter? Bloom: Oh, I'm fine, Ma'am. I'm looking for Stella, she told me this morning she was coming here because she wasn't feeling well. And uh- Nurse: This morning? You're the first student to walk through that door today, which is kind of odd in itself because when there are exams, I normally have a crowd in here. Bloom: Oh, thanks anyway. Bye.
 * Bloom enters the infirmary.*

Scene: Winx's Dorm
*Tecna, Musa, and Flora are sitting in the common room.* Bloom: You guys know the latest? Stella didn't go to the infirmary today, so it's not true that she was feeling ill. In other words she decided to skip Palladium's class. Flora: Huh, I wonder why she's acting like this. The test wasn't even that difficult. Musa: We all aced it. What is she afraid of anyway? Tecna: Running away won't get her anywhere. Sooner or later she's gonna have to take the simulator test. Bloom: What's happened to her anyway? She wasn't in the garden, nor was she at the library. I was hoping to find her here with her nose in a book. Bloom: That's an amazing spell. Stella: Infinite Sunset. Stella: My new perfume. Do you like it? Bloom: Stella! Good heavens, you don't look sick at all. Quite the contrary. Stella: I'm in great shape, Bloom, never felt better in my life. You? Bloom: What in the world are you up to? We had the simulator test today. Palladium was expecting you. Stella: Listen, he's waited this long, okay? He can wait a little longer. Right now I've more important things to think of. Flora: Such as your clothes? Stella: Indeed. Stella: You see, the right dress can make all the difference when one wants to win the Miss Magix contest. Bloom: The Miss Magix contest? Stella: Yes. It's an annual thing to determine the most beautiful and talented girl in the Magix realm. Last year I came really close to winning but this year I intend to do better. Tecna: That is ridiculous. Stella, how can you consider a beauty contest more important than school? Stella: Please don't let me down. I really need your support. This is incredibly important to me. What can I do to make you feel sorry for me? Help me, and I promise you I'll study a whole lot. Musa: You should study for yourself, not for us. We've already done the exam, you know? Bloom: All right, but this is the last time, okay? Stella: Oh, thank you! I'm so happy! You'll see, it's just an innocent little beauty contest. It'll be fun. Tecna: Well, that would be a first. Every time we go into town we never have fun. Flora: True. We always run into those nasty witches. Stella: Relax, I know from well-informed sources that we won't meet the infamous trio.

Scene: Lucy and Mirta's Dorm
Mirta: But Lucy, think about it! It's a beauty where magic is prohibited. You can't ask Icy, Darcy, and Stormy to help you with a trick, it's not right. Could even be dangerous. Lucy: Listen, I want to take part in that contest and I want to win. So what if I can't use magic? Icy, Darcy, and Stormy are so powerful, they can do anything. Whatever they set out to do, they always achieve their goal. For them, it'll be a no-brainer to turn me into a stunning beauty queen. Even if the real me could never win such a contest. Everyone will be looking at me, Mista, for once I'll be the centre of attention. Don't you understand? Mirta: No. Lucy, you don't need- Lucy: Get lost! I know what I don't need and I don't need you, nor anyone else telling me what to do!
 * Lucy storms off.*

Scene: Outside Miss Magix Beauty Pageant
*The girls approach the entrance to the beauty pageant.* Flora: I already know how this is going to end. Musa: Mmmm, let me guess. In a total flop? Stella: Don't be such a wet-blanket! Griselda will never know we came here.

Scene: Inside Miss Magix Beauty Pageant
Icy: Ready for the show? Stormy: Are you kidding? I still don't understand what we're doing in a place as disgusting as this. Everyone's so old. Icy: It doesn't matter now. Sisters, we are here this evening to do a good deed. Darcy and Stormy: Huh? Icy: You remember Lucy? She asked if I could help her win the beauty contest. Darcy: She's got bats in the belfry. Stormy: She doesn't need us to win. She needs a miracle. Icy: It'll be fun. You'll see. Darcy: What do you have in mind? Icy: Well, she wants to win the contest, right? Stormy: She wants to be this year's Miss Magix. Icy: And she will be. We will make her secret dream come true and then we'll smash it to rubble. We'll cast a spell that will make her irresistible and then as she's crowned Miss Magix, we will break the spell and expose the whole scam. She will be totally humiliated, right there, centre stage, before everyone's eyes. Darcy: Wow, Icy, that's brilliant. Stormy: A wonderfully entertaining evening. Good thinking, sis. Icy: I always have good ideas. Now enough talk, let's get to work. Icy: Lucy? You ready?
 * Icy gestures to Lucy who is standing again a nearby wall.*

Scene: Beauty Pageant Dressing Room
*Stella shows off an outfit.* Stella: How about this? Bloom: Stella, you have to wear the same outfit as everybody else. Tecna: That's the rule. Flora: Stella! We've brought everything you need to win. Musa: Starting with soft and relaxing music to allow the face muscles to loosen up. Flora: And then it's oil of arrabattola and leaves of Ranco-ficus. Stella: Whatever means of torture you deem appropriate, as long as I become the new Miss Magix. Flora: You will have the smoothest skin in the whole dimension. Musa: And your hair will be like gold silk. Stella: Oh, the things I must bear. Contestant (tearfully): What am I going to do now? Friend: I'm sure we'll find a solution. Bloom: What's happened? That's so terrible. Friend: A catastrophe. Contestant (tearfully): Look what happened to my hair. Normally it's straight. I was just walking down the hall when poof, my whole head of hair puffed up just like that! Stella: What is that?! Darcy: Nice hair. Icy: Congratulations. Bloom: The usual suspects.

Let's see. A nice green lawn is always appreciated. Stella: Now, I think maybe... but of course, all things considered I should add some... Stella: ...on the other hand, this is a magic potion for growing giant Redwood trees. Should be good for a lawn too. Stella: Now what? Oh yeah, rain! Stella: It's not easy to control your own powers when you've been up all night studying. Come on, Stella, maximum concentration, you can do it! Sunshine! Stella: Wow, it works!

Palladium: As much as it breaks my heart to see my students fail, I can't help but give you an F, Stella. You didn't do the work. Now if you want to succeed, better set your shoulder to the wheel and hurry, because the longer you wait, the harder it'll be for you to catch up! Bloom: Hear that? You can still do it!
