Winx Club — Season One

The Voice of Nature is the third episode of the first season of Winx Club, and the third episode overall.

The girls are forced to listen to the voice of nature in an exercise where they are forbidden from using magic.

Plot Overview

The girls are doing an excercise on the voice of nature in the Black-Mud Swamp, but they are forbidden from using their magic. Meanwhile, the Specialists are taking the hunter troll from the first episode to a nature preserve, but the Trix shoot their ship down and free the troll, so the boys land in the swamp.

The girls meet up with the boys and team up together to find the troll, but the Trix get to him first. The Trix use their dark magic to send the troll away. The girls end up finishing last, but they still get the most points and end up winning the exercise.

Bloom decided that as a team, they should have a team name. Thus, the Winx Club is formed.

Quotes

4Kids version

• Palladium: Welcome, class, to Black Mud Swamp! And to... (sneezes) Right, as you can sneeze, I mean, as you can see, I'm slightly allergic to the sap from the Iggleford Vine.

• Dalia: But a Keek Bug bit me!
  Palladium: Keek bug?! Well, the quicker we bit on with... I mean, get on with, the excerbite...
  Bloom: For a nature professor, he's pretty squeamish, isn't he?
  Stella: There's a word for that, it's like irony!

• Stella: Eww, something's crawling on my leg!
  Musa: Whatever happened to, "Mud does such wonders for my complexion?"

• Flora: That tree turned to stone!
  Stella: Turned to stone? Talk about being statue-esque!

• Icy: We must be careful, ladies, we break enough rules at it is! Skipping class, sneaking out, breaking into Alfea...
  Darcy: Yeah, but please! We do it for the greater evil!
  Icy: True.

• Tecna: We saw your plane crash.
  Riven: It wasn't a crash, it was more like an emergency landing!
  Stella: What happened? Pilot's end get a little out of control?
  "Sky": Actually, we were transporting a...
  "Brandon": Transporting a... very important package to a location...
  "Sky": The troll got away!
  "Brandon": Prince Sky!!

• Riven: So then get back to your exercise, girls, and leave this problem to the specialists!
  Stella: When are the specialists gonna get here?
  Musa: Aw, snap!

• Flora: I say we get back to our assignment, and let Riven deal with it.
  Stella: Flora's right, Bloom. If Riven wants to get eaten, I say bon appetit, right?
  Flora: That's not quite what I said, but...

• Musa: If I ever say, "Hey, let's hang out in a swamp!", remind me that I really hate swamps.

• Bloom: Wait a minute, the troll's footprints! Notice anything?
  Flora: Yeah, what about them?
  Stella: Yeah, I notice something, they're like a Size 30!
  Bloom: They get less and less deep as they go.
  Stella: Poor thing! He must have the hardest time shopping for shoes!

• Tecna: Yoo-hoo! Nature! I'm listening!

• "Sky": All right, everybody! I've got a plan! Phase 1, the girls distract the troll!
  Stella: I hope "the troll eats the girls" isn't Phase 2!

• Girl #1: I thought you guys went to the school for bravery, not for botchery!

• Bloom: I've been thinking, we're a really awesome group and we should have an awesome name! What do you think?
  Tecna: Actually, it's a pretty good idea. A name is good for quick reference.
  Stella: The right name would give us that certain something. We could be called something like... The Wonder Five! No, the Stella Five! The Power Troop! Or, the B.S.M.T.F!
  Musa: B.S.M.T.F?
  Stella: Check it! Beauty, Style, Magic, Taste, and Flair! And they're also the first letters in each of our names!
  Musa: Nah, that's way too cheesy.
  Flora: I say, Bloom picks it.
  Tecna and Musa: (in unison) Me too!
  Bloom: Really? Because I did come up with a little something and I even made a logo. Check it out!
  Flora: That's awesome!
  Stella: It's totally mint, Bloom!
  Tecna: But, uh, so, our name is Winx?
  Bloom: Even better - we're the Winx Club!

Original version

• Dalia: Professor Pallladium, a mosquito just bit me!
  Palladium: Yes, well we are near a swamp and it's just a mosquito, it's no big deal...
  Dalia: But look where it got me!
  Palladium: Oh my... well-well, what I meant was... to be short and to the point...
  Bloom: Poor professor, they shouldn't give him such a hard time!
  Stella: If he was more confident, he'd get more respect!

• Stella: Ugh! This place is... ew! Totally disgusting!
  Musa: Oh yes dear, all this mud is so very inconvenient!
  Tecna: I don't know if you realize it, but we're knee deep in what I would refer to as a problematic mud puddle.

• Bloom: I smell something.
  Stella: He said listen, not smell.

• Flora: Oh yes, we took a big risk!
  Stella: Especially you, Tecna. I would have sent you my dress maker's bill.
