The Masquerade Ball

"I'm so excited! I can't wait I've already found my dress, now I just need pick up my mask" Stella squealed. The annual Alfea Masquerade Ball, which was the social event of the fall, was coming up in a day and all the girls were very excited.

"Ha-ha Stella we are all aware of how happy you are" bloom said while pulling her fingers out of her ears due to Stella's insipid screeching. Just as Bloom said that, Musa and Flora walked in with bags in their hands.

"Well we have our dresses and our lovely masks" Musa said sarcastically

"You know that you are excited about the ball" Stella began "Now if you would only accept one of the many offers you have received than we could all have dates"

"Stella we've been through this, I don't mind going alone" Musa said reluctantly. She had gotten over 50 offers for a date to the ball but the one guy she wanted to ask never did.

"Fine Musa but they will fawn over you anyway, so you'll at least have someone to dance with" Stella said as she walked into her room to try on the dress for the final time. "Remember girls our hair and nail appointments are at 3 pm tomorrow "DON'T BE LATE! And we have a facial to go to a 6pm!" Stella said before winking and closing the door.

Musa rolled her eyes and walked into her room. She laid her dress on the bed and looked at herself with her mask on, in the mirror. When she put on her mask, her look changed slightly. That was the magic of the ball, it would be very hard to recognize one person from another because the masks were enchanted so they could conceal everyone's identity. Until midnight, that is when everyone takes off their masks and reveals themselves. Stella was at first against the idea, she did not want her "snookums" to mistake some other girl for her. Then, she and the rest of the girls decided to see the guys before they put on the masks, that way there would be no mix ups.

Not that Musa had to worry about that, she did not have a date. She wanted so badly for Riven to ask her but it had become painfully obvious that Riven saw her as a friend. They actually made very good friends, but Musa couldn't help but want more.

Musa let out a sigh and walked back over to her bed, untying the mask, which was now tied around her head, in the process. She placed it on her nightstand and then she hung the dress up and left the room. She was already late for Enchantix training with Griselda and she did not want yet another detention.

"Well the mask ball is tomorrow" Sky said as he tried on his costume and mask. He was looking forward to spending a night dancing with Bloom.

"Yea and Stella has called me 4 times to remind me" Brandon said as he walked into the common room that all 5 guys shared. "By the way do you know who Riven is taking to the mask? Stella has been bugging me about it"

"Uhh no but a bunch of girls have tried to get him to ask them out" Sky laughed

"Wonder why he hasn't asked any of them" Brandon said even though he was well aware of the answer

"I think he's over Musa cause they have been very friend like when they are around each other, at least that's what Bloom tells me" Sky said

"Stella's gonna be disappointed" Brandon laughed. Then he looked at his watch. "Dude we have class in 5 minutes! Get changed we gotta go"

"Alright hold on" Sky went to his room and put on his uniform and on their way out they saw Riven walking towards then with a costume in hand.

"So what are you wearing to the mask" Brandon asked

"Wow you've turned into your girlfriend" Riven said sarcastically

"At least I have one" Brandon said attempting to be funny but after realizing what he said he regretted it.

"Funny" Riven said rudely as he turned around and headed to his room

"C'mon bro, I didn't mean it like that" Brandon said but Riven was already in his room.

"He didn't take it personally, he knows your kidding, come on Cordatorta is gonna kill me if I'm late again.

Brandon and Sky walked off to class. Riven walked into his room to find Helia hanging up his costume for the mask. "Hey man what's up" Helia said

"Nothing, I gotta go" Riven said as he put his stuff down grabbed his keys and left.
