I kinda thought this would be an interesting way to add a character. RivenXMusa

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What should we get them?" Ophir asked, as the rest of the Specialists sat down at the table with him. They where sitting outside a café in Magix.

Helia took a sip of his green tea. "Flora would love a new plant. I should look at that new Nursery. Maybe I could find her a baby Dragon Root."

Sky shook his head, and drank his hazelnut coffee. "Dude, you always get her plants, and the ones she has are invading the other girls spaces."

Riven sat off to the side, drinking his black coffee. He didn't have a girlfriend; he was just there because it was entertaining watching the Specialists squirm.

"I have an idea. Why don't we get them new C.D.'s?" Brandon suggested, nearly knocking over his iced coffee in the process.

"That's a great idea! Tecna's been saying that she needs to download some new music." Timmy added, stirring his cappuccino.

"Then it's settled. C.D.'s for all." Ophir finished his frappachino.

"Could you imagine, the problems we'd face, if the girls knew we discussed our problems over coffee?" Brandon said as they walked into Musical Madness. Riven just shook his head and followed his friends.

"Brandon, there are something's that you just don't tell your girl." Riven said.

"Speaking of which, we should find you a girl." Sky taunted.

"There isn't a girl alive that I could stand to be around long enough to date. And the first time she talked about shopping for clothes we'd be through." Riven grunted.

"Nah, there's just no girl alive that'll put up with you." Timmy joked. The group laughed as they walked to the clerk and explained their predicament.

"No problem boys. Muse will help ya right out. MUSA! You're needed front and center!" The clerk yelled. Within seconds a tall beautiful, young woman ran into view, to stop in front of the clerk.

Her short blackish-blue pigtails bounced with her heavy breaths. "Yeah. Whatcha want Mike?" She panted, her Asian eyes glaring at the clerk.

"Muse, this is Sky, Brandon, Timmy, Helia, Ophir, and Riven. They need help finding gifts for their girlfriends. Guys this is Musa, the only person in this entire store that knows the difference between an 8 track and a C.D." Mike rolled his eyes and turned away to do some paper work.

"Gee, thanks Mike." Musa said sarcastically. "Okay. So guys why don't ya tell me about your girls?"

"Well Bloom is an Earth girl that's the Princess of Sparks." Sky started. "I really don't know what she likes, but I remember her talking about a band called Aqua once."

"Alright. How 'bout you?" Musa pointed at Helia

"My Flora loves anything to do with nature."

"Nature loverokay. Next?"

Riven studied the dark haired, light skinned fairy. Her blue jeans were so loose that they sat low enough on her hips to show glimpses of her pink underwear. Musa's one strap red tank top was so tight to her body that it didn't leave much to the imagination. He paid little attention to the guys, as Ophir explained that Layla loved to dance to fast music, and when Timmy said that Tecna liked techno, and that Stella loved any female singers.

"What about you?" Musa asked Riven for the third time, as she poked a finger into his chest.

"What? Oh, I don't have a girlfriend." Riven's brain had almost sent the command for him to grab her finger and kiss her.

"Sor-ry. didn't mean to pry." She rolled her eyes, and led the guys down a bunch of aisles. Every once and a while Musa would stop and hand one of the guys a C.D. Bloom got an album from the Earth band Aqua. Flora got a C.D of nature sounds. Musa found an album from a band called Soccx for Layla. Stella got an album of a bunch of famous women singing songs about their own vanity. While Tecna got a techno album.

"Musa, why don't you attend Alfea?" Sky asked.

"I do. Well I will. I'm enrolling next week, so I'll be there in time for the dance." Musa laughed, as she walked the guys to the front desk.

"Uh oh." Everyone stopped to Timmy's voice.

"What's wrong bro?" Brandon asked, and then looked. There was the Winx Club walking into Musical Madness

"It's the girls!" Helia's eyes were wide.

"Just a moment Ladies. Musa! Get your cute little butt over here!" They heard Mike yell.

"Ohh Mike. I'm going to kill you." Musa's eyebrow twitched. "Here guys, go down this aisle, then use the first check out you see. I'll lead your girls in the opposite direction." Musa explained, and then ran to Mike and the girls.

"Come on guys. She gave us an opening, lets take it!" Ophir said. Riven stood for a second watching Musa, then turned and followed his friends.

Musa could feel Riven watching her. What's his deal? She thought to herself. When she got to the front of the store, the girls introduced themselves. Musa knew immediately that she made the right choices to help the guys, and also understood why each guy was absolutely gaga for his girl.

Musa spent the next hour, laughing and getting to know each girl personally. The more they talked, the more Musa couldn't wait to enroll at Alfea. Apparently the girls had the same idea as the Specialists, and decided to get them C.D.'s also. Since she already met the Specialists, she only needed the girls to tell them more specifics about what they liked, in order to find the perfect C.D. for them.

"Musa, the guys have this friend, Riven, and he doesn't have a girlfriend and well-" Bloom started.

"Well, we were wondering if you would be interested in going on a group date with him." Stella finished.

Musa laughed. The Solaria fairy intrigued her. Musa loved how blunt Stella could be. "Why not. I got nothing better to do." She answered. Musa really wanted to know why Riven studied her like a frog about to be dissected by some gruesome little boy.

"Oh good. Maybe his mood will improve with you there." Flora said hopefully.

The girls paid for their C.D.'s. "Musa, I hope you're right about the music choices." Layla said worried, as the Winx Club, and Musa, walked out of Musical Madness.

"Calm down Layla. Trust me. I'm not the Princess of the Harmonic realm for nothing." Musa patted her back.

"Musa's right. Thanks to her knowledge of music, there is a 88.9 percent chance of the boy's liking their gifts." Tecna encouraged her.

Meanwhile, the boys where waiting for the girls in the park as arranged.

"What if the girls don't like their gifts?" Helia said concerned, sitting cross legged under a tree.

"Don't sweat it, Helia. Thanks to the Musa, there is a 97.2 percent success-in-gifts rate." Timmy told him after checking his hand held computer.

"We don't need statistic's, Timster!" Brandon said, hanging upside down from a tree limb.

"Brandon's right. The girls will like them, simply because we got them a gift without it being an important date." Ophir said.

"The girls are here, act cool!" Sky warned, and the guys all calmed themselves down. Except for Riven, who rolled his eyes.

"Snookums!" Stella cried and ran to Brandon. Brandon jumped from the tree to hug his, "Cup cake!"

The Winx Club and other Specialists laughed at the two. Bloom and Sky just walked to each other, and hugged. Helia walked behind Flora, and wrapped his arms around her. Layla sat down beside Ophir, and laid her head on his shoulder. Tecna and Timmy walked to each other, and awkwardly held hands.

"Awe, that's so sweet!" Riven turned and saw Musa standing there looking at the couples.

"The girls warned me that they'd find me a date." Riven mumbled.

"Yep. I'm one unlucky girl." she poked his bicep and sat down on a near by picnic table. Riven followed her. "Why don't you guys exchange gifts, so that I can stop worrying!" She shouted.

Everyone looked at his or her sweet-heart. "you mean, you helped the guys too?" Flora asked.

"Yep, not two minutes after I finished helping the guys, Mike called me to help you girls."

The guys looked sheepish, and handed the girls their presents. The girls blushed and handed over the guys' presents. All parties opened the small boxes, and their eyes went wide. The girls flung themselves at their boys. "Thank you!" went a female chorus.

Both Riven and Musa, rolled their eyes. "Where's my love? I found the albums."

Everyone laughed at Musa's mock-hurt look. Riven looked at her curiously. How could a girl with such a love for fun and music have the tough side I saw in her eyes while we were at the store. Riven thought. Musa turned and saw Riven watching her. She tilted her head and raised an eyebrow. Riven frowned and looked away.

The group began to walk through Magix, only to stop in front of the Mall.

"Alright! It's time to shop!" Stella smiled, and the other girls gave enthusiastic nods. The Specialists just smiled. Whenever the girls went shopping, it meant they got to see the Winx in several different outfits, since it was spring, maybe they would try on some bathing suits.

Musa and Riven groaned at Stella's remark. "Sorry babe, but I think I'll pass if that's your idea of a date." Musa said.

"Come on Musa!" Layla encouraged, "It'll be fun!"

"Uh, no. You girls' shop. I'm gone to the arcade." Musa pointed her thumb towards the arcade.

"You know. I just might join you." Riven said stiffly.

"You two are no fun." Bloom laughed as they walked into the stores.

Musa just shook her head, and walked beside Riven into the arcade. "Oh! Riven I challenge you to Dance Dance Revolution!" Musa laughed, taking Riven's hand and pulling him to the machine.

"I've never tried this." Riven explained.

"It's really easy! Just press what ever directional arrow, you see in the arrow outline!" Musa picked the song "Butterfly" and the two began to dance. Her body swayed to the music and her steps were light to enable her faster movements. To start Riven was slow and sloppy, but so understood the ideals of the game, and was giving Musa a run for her money in skill. Riven laughed. He was actually enjoying himself.

He's really hot when he laughs. Musa thought to herself, and kept dancing. At the end of the song, Musa fell to knee on the floor.

"You okay?" Riven asked

"Yeah. I've never had such competition. Your good!" Musa smiled.

Riven smiled back, and helped her up. "Come on lets get something to eat."

The two walked to the food court, and ordered loaded pizzas. They sat down at a table, and Musa picked at the meat and veggies that had fallen off, before eating her actual pizza.

"Musa, can I tell you something?" Riven asked.

"Sure." she shrugged at took a bite out of her pie.

"Well, Musa. I, uh. I mean. I know we just met but uh…" Riven stammered.

"Hey Musa! Riven!" Tecna called, and the girls and guys walked over to the two.

"Hey all." Musa smiled. She looked at Riven and winked. "Don't worry babe. Me too."

Riven looked shocked for a minute, then smiled. Under the table Riven handed her a blank C.D., while everyone looked at the couple confused.
