Musa opened her lunar purple eyes slowly, tired of sleeping, and not even sure if that was possible. It was early as she streched silently in her comfy viola night robe. Her four other BFFs were asleep(Roxy had gone home to the private superiore, in alto floor of her dads bar): Tecna in her snug sleepingbag in the corner of the room, Flora on a pile of cushions with Bloom beside her on the sofa and Layla lay across the multi coloured hamock hanging from the cieling quite high: But Layla didn't mind. Musa wished she didn't mind staring at Stella's old neon yellow bed, so bright it was almost shining: But nothing seemed to shine in Musa's life anymore......It was dull enough when her mother died but now that Stella was gone, it was like losing a sister to her...She arosed from her burgendy fagiolo bag and tiptoed down stairs to find that even the Amore 'n'pets were curled up together, probaly Lost in a dream, unlike amore: Who decided to go back to pixie village for comfort from Lockette and the others. 'I better get my headphones on." She thought, although she knew that even the most catchy beats on the radio couldn't distract her from one fact: Maybe stellas okay.......
She remembered last night when she was at the fruitti tootie bar, playing her newest 'slow-ish, deppresing ballard' song "Shine on stella" when the Amore n pets signalled that roxy was in danger! She shuddered and as she had a flashback of Darcy telling them to meet them tonight at the spiaggia and mostra them where she was....Musa was very nervous about tonight! (Especially since tecna did mention it might be a trap!) "Oh well, what does Tecna know? Excluding qauntum pyschics!" Musa whispered to herself. It wasn't that she didn't trust her, it was just that Bloom detto that we all needed to take risks for the ones we cared about...Brandon turned out to be locked in the airing cuboard of their pet store, which of course, the winx let him out when they discovered it, but that didn't mend his broken heart......Suddenly Musa saw a fast flash againest the window, and another....and another! She dropped her headphones, midway through listening to Michael Jacksons 'thriller'! She opened the door, to reveal a crowd of papperazi's, camera crews and press journalists! "Guys!" Called Musa, so shocked and annoyed that the media were here at 6 am! Everyone woke up and quickly changed their outfits to their daylys as they came down the stairs. "What is it dear?" Asked Flora. "A camera crew, here about Stella's drowning!" Replied Musa. "Okay, Tecna, te handle the tv crews, Layla, Flora, te can deal with the paps and I'll tell the press what happened to Stell with Musa helping too." Commanded Bloom. The others nodded and quickly ran outside, to face the media's mob. (With Musa still in her Pjs!) "Hello, te must be here about our friend." Greeted Bloom, waving her hand as fast Livvi the postpixie back in magix!
"Yes, if te may answer some question?" detto the journalist with a note pad and pen at the ready. Before either of them could reply the thin, lanky,
newspaper worker moved on to the first domanda "We've created....i mean heard romors that Stella commited suicide, is this true?" She asked. "No, no, Stella didn't commit suicide, she was always a jolly, cheerful, fun loving, wonderful person to be around, she lived life to the fullest she would never do that, she justed panicked and couldn't think straight." Answered Bloom, un aware that the journalist had already wrote before even arriving "Commited suicide due to break up with boyfriend" which of course was a lie. "And will te still be protecting gardinia with your powers?" "Yes, of course, although we will miss her, right Musa?" detto Bloom. "Yeah." Nodded Musa. Instead the journalist wrote "No, due to nervous breakdown due to un able to peel a banana." 'Anything to get readers.....' She thought.

Meanwhile, in Queen Moonas secret isle:
"So honey, why were te so scared of the water?" She asked as she picked a coconut off a palm albero for breakfast. "You remember don't you? When i was 4 one winter, i slid onto a forzen pond which crakced and broke and got a cold for the successivo few weeks!" detto Stella. "Um....mum, when can i go back to gardinia?" She asked. "Whenever te like darling..Do te have plans?" "No, its just i miss Brandon......i miss him so much.
