INT. SCHOOL'S FLYING BUS. A DAY LATER.

A red-black hover ship soars through the air. Inside are BLOOM and FLORA sitting together with MUSA and TECNA sitting across from them, STELLA sits behind FLORA and BLOOM.

BLOOM

Wow, my first magical field trip! To...where are we going again?

She turns to STELLA.

STELLA

The Valley of Pleasures.

BLOOM quirks her face.

Relax, it's PG.

BLOOM

Oh ok.

STELLA

You'll love it, it radiates happiness there plus it's haunted.

BLOOM's eyes widen.

BLOOM

Seriously, like ghosts exist here?

FLORA scoffs.

FLORA

She's just an old Winx's tale.

STELLA

No, she isn't! She's real! They call her the Weeping Willow!

BLOOM

Oooo-

STELLA

She was this all-powerful fairy commander who ordered her son to his death! heartbroken with grief she went to the valley of pleasures and drowned herself in the river-

FLORA's eyes widen as she grips her knees, she gulps.

She's said to wander the forest caught in limbo, forcing anyone she comes across to feel her grief.

FLORA sinks in her seat as her eyes widen with fear.

BLOOM

Uh Flora, you ok?

FLORA snaps back to reality.

FLORA

Oh yeah, I'm fine.

STELLA

Aw, did my ghost story scare you?

FLORA rolls her eyes.

FLORA

Pfft as if.

STELLA

Awww it's ok to admit you're scared.

FLORA

I'm not, besides I've been to the valley many times and have never seen any sad ghost women walking around.

BLOOM

Oooo what's the valley like then?

FLORA rubs her shoulder, nervously.
