"I'm so glad you're safe, Stella!" Bloom said to her blonde friend, hugging her tightly. The solar fiary hugged her friend back just as tight. The other Winx members quickly joined in for a group hug. "We were so worried about you Stella!" Flora said.

The six of them let go of the hug. "Same here. I thought you guys weren't able to find Scola and were still out there in that creepy town" Stella responded to the nature fairy.

"Where were you all this time? You know, apart from being in the Stone Chapel" Aisha asked. "I was cornered by a Levia- I mean, Liath. And then these guys showed up and rescued me, bringing me over here in Scola" Stella pointed at the Sage Unit with a smile on her face. "They were a little harsh on me at first, but eventually we got along"

Bloom approached the Sage Unit, thanking them for saving Stella. "It was nothing, really..." The Unit responded.

"But wait, what are you girls doing here anyway? Is this why you guys brought me along?" Stella asked Shayne, looking over at her. The commander raised an eyebrow. "No? We didn't know that your friends would be over here. We were just told by the Synod unit that we need to clean this place, and we just decided to bring you along" 

"Say, you girls are the Synod Unit?" Stella looked at the four council Scolacians. "Wait. I remember you girls from Muchi's photo album! She showed me and Flora a picture of you girls!" 

"Oh that's right! It completely slipped out from my mind when I saw you four! Now I remember" Flora spoke up. 

"You girls, dress FABULOUSLY!" The solar fairy commented at the Synod Unit's outfits. "And that's coming from a fashion designer!"

The Synod Unit members thanked Stella, just to be polite. 

"Now hold the phone. Just like the fairy asked, why did you 'Winx' come here anyway? Is there like a special meeting or something goin' around here...?" Mikhe interrupted.

"In fact there is, Mikhe" 

Everyone immediately faced towards the voice to find Kitchi, Jared, and Aaron standing behind them. David, Kat, and Muchi were right behind them, still wearing their cloaks. The three in front also wore cloaks, but theirs were pulled down. "Happy to see us again?"

The Winx looked at them, happy to see their friends once again. "Guys!" They all exclaimed.

"Figured you guys would be here early" Kitchi said smiling, rubbing the back of her neck. "So we came here as fast as we could"

"It's nice to see you all again" Aaron said to the Winx, giving them a smirk. "Welcome to Scola, I guess..." Jared said bluntly, combing back his hair with his fingers.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Aaron looks totally different now" Musa commented. Aaron indeed looked rather different. He looked like he grew a few inches taller, and he seemed to have a grown a shaved beard. "Oooh~ Oo lala! Aaron went from baby boy, to 'Jared calls me Daddy too!'" Stella added, amazed at her friend's new appearance. 

"Wha- Wait what?" Jared perked up. Aaron facepalmed. "Why does everyone keep commenting on my beard?"

"It's true though, I have to say" Kitchi laughed a little.

"So, uh, we'll just leave you guys alone to talk. Come on, guys" Shayne and the Sage Unit excused themselves to leave, and same goes for the Synod Unit who left with them. Now the Winx and the rest of the six Scolacians were left.

"Did you want to talk about something, guys?" Kitchi asked the Winx. Bloom nodded. "Actually yes... but I thought you guys had something to say to us aswell?" The dragon flame fairy said. 

"When the Synod Unit alarmed all of us that you girls were here inside Scola, we knew all of you wanted to speak to us for something. So, do you girls want to say it now?" Aaron responded.

Bloom looked back at the Winx, and they all nodded at her. 

She let out a sigh and began to speak. "Guys... you see... we came here to apologize"

The Scolacians all looked at each other, confused. "For what, Bloom?" Muchi spoke up.

The fairy continued. "For having you guys encounter a Leviathan. You guys must've been traumatized when you all saw it emerge from the forest" 

The six Scolacians all stared at the Dragon flame fairy, unsure what to say. "She's right, guys. We're sorry if we caused anything that might have made you guys feel uncomfortable during your stay in Alfea..." Flora joined in with Bloom. 

"We feel like it's our fault that you six aren't allowed to come in contact with Magix..." Aisha backed up the two fairies. "That letter Scola had sent to Headmistress Faragonda. It said that Scola doesn't want to interfere with Alfea or Magix after you six left..." Tecna joined the three fairies. 

"You guys weren't even able to learn anything worth your stay in Alfea. We should've been more welcoming to you six" Musa said, apologetically.

"Not to mention that the Sage Unit and Synod Unit had to go through all that trouble just for us..." Stella added, looking down.

Bloom approached the six Scolacians. "Please, forgive us for not being the friends we were supposed to be to you guys..." She bowed down her head in an apologetic way. The other Winx seemed to do the same.

Looking at each other one last time, Kitchi was first to speak up. "Guys...we're not mad at you six. We were never mad at you at all. Scola never sent a letter addressing something like that"

The Winx all looked up at them in confusion. 

"But, the headmistress held the letter right infront of us?" Tecna said confusedly.

Kitchi looked at Aaron and Jared, asking them if Scola had sent a letter of some sort. They both shook their heads. "Guys...maybe it must've been a mistake. It was probably a prank letter by some other student?" Kitchi told the six fairies. "If that's why you girls came here for, we aren't angry at any of you, or at Alfea" 

"But...what about those times Scola wasn't on good terms with Alfea?" Bloom asked.

"Not on good terms? You mean the ones that happened years ago? Winx! Come on. That was a long time ago! Scola's never been in contact with any other school in a while until we came to Alfea" Aaron responded.

"And besides, even if we were traumatized by that... uh Leviathan or Liath... we'd still be grateful that you Winx defended us from it" Muchi said, smiling. Kat and David agreed, nodding their heads.

Bloom wore a muddled expression on her face, and so did the others. 

"...wait..." Stella spoke up all of sudden with softened tone. "...you guys didn't even learn anything when you were in Alfea. That's one thing why we should apologize. You all just wasted your time there, we weren't good tour guides for you six... not to mention we weren't able to protect you six from the Trix' attack...."

The other Winx nodded, agreeing with Stella. They all looked at the Scolacians, waiting for an answer.

Kitchi and Aaron looked at each other, unsure what to say. They both looked behind them to see if Kat, Muchi, or David had to say anything. They all just kept quiet. They faced the Winx, but they couldn't say anything. But;

Jared apporached Bloom, much to everyone's surprise. He took off his cloak and tossed it at Bloom. 

Catching it, the dragon flame fairy looked at it, confused. She turned it around to see the Scola logo, and a name written on it. "ORDER OF JUSTICE"

Bloom looked at up Jared, who wasn't smiling, but was giving her a reassuring look. "If you guys think that you were all useless to us, then you all thought wrong"

Jared glanced behind him at his fellow Scolacians with a smirk. "Thanks to you Winx, we were able to perform our Theater Play roles perfectly. We were successful with the Play. And not only that, Commander Rocky, Ma'm Toneth, and Sir Marc saw in us that we worked so hard to achieve what we recieved, they gave us the higest role of Scola. The Order of Justice. And without you fairies to help us, then I don't think that would have been possible..."

Bloom and the Winx all looked shocked from what they just heard. But they all felt relieved and happy for them aswell.

Jared held out his hand. "So thank you. Bloom, Winx. For being good friends to us" 

Shaking Jared's hand, Bloom smiled back at her Scolacian friend. "I'm glad things were sort out"

Aaron looked at them with a smile. Then he looked at the other Winx members. "Well? COME HERE AND GIVE US THE BIGGEST BEAR HUGS FOR BEING OUR FRIENDS!" Aaron spreaded out his arms, smiling widely. The Winx all went up to Aaron and gave him a group hug. "AHH! TOO...TIGHT!" 

"Come on, we're also your friends too" Kitchi placed a hand on her hips, smirking. 

The five fairies all laughed as they went up to each Scolacian and gave them each a hug. 

"Ugh I hate hugs" Kat crossed her arms as each Winx member hugged her. "Lighten up already, Kitty Kat!" David said, laughing after being hugged. "Maybe you're happy cause girls are finally hugging you, four-eyes!" The dark-haired woman said, smirking. 

Jared and Bloom watched as their friends finally reunite with each other. 

Bloom looked at him with a smile, but noticed that Jared wasn't smiling still. "You okay?" She asked. Jared turned to look at her. "Huh? Oh... I'm fine. It's just my face, you know? I don't smile often" The dark-haired male said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Haha, if that's what it is then" Bloom said jokingly, tossing him his cloak. "Oh, be quiet" Jared said, rolling his eyes, as he took the cloak.
