So here's chapter 2! REVIEW PLEASE :D


Chapter 2: Beating him

Layla and I took our seats and smiled at the girls, I got my cap and placed it on me so I could hide myself. The girls looked at me and I gave them another smile, Layla whistled to call a waiter and to divert the attention of the girls.

"So, drinks?" Layla asked.

I took the menu and placed it over my face and mouthed thank you to her, she nodded and talked to the waiter.

Flora tapped me and asked "How was the band?"
"Yeah, were they cute?" Stella looked over.

I grinned but they could tell that something was up, I shook my head and inhaled.

"So?" Bloom was eagerly waiting for my answer.
"Layla and I saw Beat." my smile turned upside down and Bloom gasped.
"You mean that guy from the beach?" she asked.
I nodded "That same guy."
"What's wrong with that then?" Stella looked back and forth at me and Bloom.
"Uhh.. Nothing." Bloom took a sip from her ice tea which the waiter just brought over.
"For me there is something wrong, I didn't tell you guys this but I saw Beat in the castle. Do you remember when Sky asked Bloom to the ball? Well Flora and I went over to this room to check it out and there we saw Beat but quickly left after Flora gave him some meds. Then while we were guarding the castle I told Layla to patrol around so I was left alone for a while, Beat came to me and acted all weird. It freaked me out, I'm really not comfortable in seeing him." I looked down on my lap and sighed.

Before the girls could say anything else the MC started to talk.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO GARDENIA'S MUSICAL DINER! TODAY WE ARE JOINED BY ONE OF THE GREATEST AND MYSTERIOUS MUSCIANS THAT EVERY PLAYED, PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR RYTHMIC STEREO!"

The crowed cheered, girls were screaming and guys were shouting. Some even stood up just to applaud them, I on the other hand kept my head down and my cap tightly secured.

"Hello Gardenia Mall!" I heard a familiar voice that made my whole back tingle. "Thank you for always welcoming us here!"

I stood up and looked at the girls, they could tell I wasn't handling this very well. They got up as well and we headed to the door, I still had my cap on so I could only see the floor and my shoes. I walked faster to the door but I got knocked down, my cap flew off me, I scratched my head and looked up. My cheeks felt hot and I bit my lower lip, a tall muscular guy with spiked up magenta hair was looking down at me.

"Hey pixie, you in a hurry?" Riven extended his arm towards me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked while still in shock.

Riven pointed over to Bloom who was nervously smiling at me, I looked back at Riven and noticed the other guys were standing behind him.

"Surprise?" Brandon opened his arms and laughed a bit.

Stella ran to Brandon and gave him a big hug, Lalya waltz over to Nabu and placed her arms around his neck, Timmy was pushed by Sky where he was only a few inches from Tecna, Helia walked over to Flora and greeted her with a kiss on the hand, Sky and Bloom were just happily holding hands.

"How did you guys know we were here?" I asked again since I was still in shock.
"Bloom phoned us and told us to quickly come over." Riven smirked and grabbed my waist.
"I love it!" Stella jumped.
"Same here Stell." I whispered.

Riven smiled and came closer to me, but before I could close my eyes and enjoy a kiss from him I heard someone call out my name which caught everyones attention.

"Musa? Is that you?" echoed out the speakers.

I looked back and saw Beat starring right at me, I forgot about him! Beat climbed down the small stage and walked over towards my direction, I wanted to run but my feet felt like they were glued to the ground.

"What are you doing here?" Beat smiled at me.
"Well.. I uhmm.. Vacation" I laughed nervously.
"With me" Riven interrupted. "And you are?" he asked with a very angry tone.
"Wow man, I don't want trouble. I just wanted to say hi to Musa, Im Beat by the way." He extended his arm for a shake but Riven didn't respond. "O-k, so Musa. How about we get together sometime? I'll be here performing-" before Beat could finish Riven took me away and left.

I looked back and saw Beat with his mouth open, I was bit guilty but at the same time relived. It wasn't like I hated him or anything, he just scares me. Like he has two personalities or something. I looked at Riven and tried to get on his good side.

"So, how about we go somewhere else to eat?" I asked but Riven didn't say anything. "Ok, then do you want to watch a movie?" again Riven didn't say anything.

I got a bit irratated, how was I suppose to know that Beat was going to be here?

"Riven" I walked in front of him. "Please don't get mad, I didn't know ok?" I said as calmly as possible.
"From all the places and all the people you had to see him here! Haven't I proven to you that I love you Musa? And you should know that I have an issue with you and other guys!" Riven snapped and just stood there in front of me.
"Riven what are you talking about? Beat just helped me before but that doesn't mean anything, haven't I proven to YOU that I only love YOU? I've been trying to avoid Beat ever since that thing in the castl-" I quickly placed my hand on my mouth, why did I say that? Riven will get more furious now.
"What? The castle?" Riven looked down for a moment then his eyes widened. "YOU WERE WITH HIM IN THE CASTLE?"
"No! Riven, let me explain. Beat was injured and Lord Oden let him stay in the castle, Flora and I went over and saw him. But we didn't know it was them, we left right after Flora gave him some medicine." I looked at Riven and sighed "Then Layla and I were in charge of guarding the east wing of the castle, but Layla got bored so I told her to patrol around. I was just watching by the window when Beat entered, at first he was ok but then things got creepy. I told him leave but he woldn't listen, I got scared and kept a safe distance from him. Luckily Layla returned and he just left." I held on Riven's arm and I could feel him tremble.
"So you two were together in the castle! I can't handle this Musa, I need.. I need to think!" Riven took away his arm from my hand.

My heart ached, Riven and I just got back together and now were fighting again. I fell on my knees and buried my face on my hands, I cried all the pain out and didn't care about the people looking. The girls ran towards me right after Riven left, I heard the guys shouting Rivens name but it seemed like he didn't listen.

Flora knelt down and placed her hand on my back "Musa, everything wil be fine. Riven's just in shock, it's better if you two talk later."
"Yeah, forget about it for now. Riven will come crawling back to you soon, right now we need to have some fun." Stella pulled me up and giggled.
"Don't worry Musa, you know how Riven is. Temper issues." Layla joked.
"Plus you'll have time to fix this later, Riven can't go anywhere without the guys." assured Bloom.
"So turn that frown upside down!" cheered Tecna.
"Thanks, you guys are right." I smiled and wiped my tears.

We found a place to eat then we walked around the mall when Tecna suddenly spotted an arcade, she quickly ran inside and we all happily followed. The place was huge, games were on every wall, a karaoke area, there was also a food stall.

"Hey Musa! Look!" Layla grabbed my hand and dragged me over to a dance machince.
"Shall we?" I politely asked.
"Let's" Layla got some change from her pocket and we started to dance.

Flora was watching Tecna play the new virtual game which was old school for her, Bloom and Stella were hitting on the gun games, while Layla and I kept dancing for hours. We noticed a huge crowed was watching us so that got us all proud; Layla seemed to get her head in the clouds, she would step on herself sometime.

"What's the matter Layla? Is the audience too much?" I laughed.
"You wish!" Layla chuckled.

After a few more games Stella and Bloom went over to us and signaled the time, it was 5 30pm. Layla pushed me off the dance floor and I tackled her down, we laughed while Tecna and Flora helped us up.

"You two ok?" asked Tecna.
"Yeah, Layla just cheated but were good." I laughed.
"Cheated? You just happen to be on the way." Layla laughed and locked her arm around my neck.
"Break it up you two, we need to get going soon." Flora squeezed herself in between me and Layla.
"Sure thing, but can I try on the karaoke!" I pouted.
Tecna rolled her eyes and Flora crossed her arms. "Fine, but only one song." they both said in sync.

I jumped and ran to the machine, Bloom and Stella saw me and waved. I waved back telling them to come over.

I was looking for a song when the rest of the girls joined me, I smiled and looked back at the song book. I wasn't very familiar with the songs in earth so it took me sometime, I sighed and stretched my neck a bit. I looked out the window and there I saw Beat and Riven by the window. I pushed myself away and landed on the ground, the girls quickly ran to me.

"What happend?" asked Flora.
"Were the songs too old school?" Layla joked.

I shook my head and pointed to the window, the girls follwed my finger and saw Riven and Beat. They weren't talking or anything but they were only a few feet from each other, it looked like they haven't met eye- to- eye which relived me a bit.

"Let's bounce!" I got up and ran for the entrance.

The girls followed me and I was headed for Riven, he saw me running and his expression made me laugh a bit. His eyes widened and his mouth opened, I guess seeing your girlfriend suddenly run towards you is a surprise. I took his hand and ran faster, I could hear the others run as well.

"Musa?" Riven was trying to catch his breath.

We reached the entrance of the mall and I was really exhausted, Riven on the other hand seemed pretty worn out. His hands were on his knees and he was breathing heavily. The rest of my friends managed to catch up and were also worn out.

"What the heck was that about?" Sky panted.
"Sorry.. I just needed to get away." I took deep breaths.

I looked at Riven again and this time he was standing straight but he was still breathing heavily, I walked towards him and pouted.

"What is up with you?" he asked.

I didn't answer, I leaned forward and placed my hand on his face. He gave me a confused look which brought a smile to my face, he was just so adorable. I pulled him and kissed his lips. I could feel Riven's breathing was off but I couldn't help myself, I want things to be ok between us. Riven eventually gave in and wrapped his arms around me, he kissed me back which made me have a hard time breathing.

He pulled away and smiled. "Seriously pixie, what is up with you?"
"I'm sorry, ok?" I hugged him and buried my face into his chest. "Please don't be mad at me Riven."
"Hey, hey, I should be the one apologizing. I should've understand more, plus you did avoid him. Sorry for being a jerk Musa." Riven then returned the hug.

I looked up at him and smiled, I tipped toed to give him a small peck on the cheeck but Stella coughed.

"Enjoying ourselves?" she grinned.
"Stella!" I shouted.
"What? Do you know what time it is? We need to get back, I want to try out this new nail polish" Stella waved the bag infront of me.
"Fine" I groaned. "But, how about the guys?" I looked at Riven again.
"We'll be staying here on earth, we'll be checking in somewhere near Bloom's house." said Riven.
"Really? So you'll be joining us in the theme park?" I hugged Riven more.
"Got that right little pixie." said Riven while he gave me a kiss on the forhead.
"All right, time to say goodbye!" Stella was pulling me away.

When we reached Bloom's house there was a very small package just laying on the doorstep, Bloom check on it and handed it to me.

"Why?" I asked.
"Someone left it for you" answered Bloom.
"From earth? But I don't know anyone from here." I looked at the package.

We entered the house and sat in the living room.

"Well? Aren't you going to open it?" asked Tecna.
"I'm getting there Tec." I chuckled and untangled the string that was keeping it together. "It's a.. Box?" I looked at it closer and gasped. "It's a music box!" I unwrapped it and saw a light blue circular music box, it had these beatiful details on it. There were sapphaire gems circuling it and golden leaf like patterns were on top, I opened it and it played the sweetest tune. I stood up and twirled to the music.

"Musa, there's a letter." Flora picked a piece of paper from the floor.
"Maybe it's from the sender!" squeeled Stella.

I took the paper from Flora and ripped it open.

"Hey Musa, sorry about a while ago. I don't really know what's going on but I'm sorry if I caused you and your boyfriend trouble. I was just wondering if we could get together sometime? You know, one muscian to another? Anyway, here's a little something to show you that I really want to talk to you about music, and it's also a sorry gift.

Love,
Beat."

I looked at the girls and they just starred at me.

"Girls?" I snapped my fingers.
"What was that about?" asked Layla.
"Love Beat?" scoffed Stella. "What is he playing at?"
"Will you see him sweetie?" Flora turned over to me.
"Maybe, I need to tell him that I won't be available. Plus he needs to know that I'm not interested in him." I sighed.
"Do you want us to come with you?" asked Tecna.
"That'll be great" I smiled.
"Then tomorrow we'll go to the mall again and enjoy the rest of the day with the guys!" exclaimed Bloom.

We all nodded and relaxed at the couch.
