Hello! New chapter. Hope you like it. There's more Winx club than Musa/Riven but they are mentioned of course because they're the best and my fav fictional couple. Enjoy!
Musa POV
I woke up to the girls mumbling in the common room. Well more like Stella and Bloom yelling and the rest were whispering among themselves. I sigh and get up. Bloom probably took Stella lip gloss again. I glance at the clock, wow it was 11 in the morning.
I get up and notice a dress on Tecna's bed. It was beautiful. It had a chiffon waistline and flowed down to the floor from them. It started with turquoise at the top and ended in a light purple at the bottom. Memories of yesterday flowed to my mind, but I pushed them away. I won't talk about him…
"Stella, you bitch!" I hear Bloom yell and I snap out of my thoughts and dash outside. There I see Tecna trying to hold Bloom back and Stella being held back by Aisha. Flora stood behind Aisha with a wary glance to the girls. What caught my attention was a huge bouquet of multicolored water lilies. The enchanted ones that shoot out light during the night. Those were my favourite…
"Can't you see than snookums obviously sent those to ME" the sun fairy boasted.
Oh Lord of Magix!
"What the hell is going on here?!" I yell making everyone pause their struggling to turn to me. Bloom and Stella start speaking at the same time.
"He came by this morning with all these…"
"Well can I just say that I really should get these…" they start at the same time.
"Quiet. Tecna explain", I demand. My blonde and redhead friends huff but keep quiet.
"Oh well, this morning the delivery boy came by with these flowers and Bloom and Stella believe that they're from Sky or Brandon. So they're arguing over who they were sent from", Tecna explained calmly.
"Well they could be from Helia, after all he gives me flowers almost every day…" Flora spoke up. Oh crap.
"What?!" Bloom and Stella yell.
"What I'm saying is that…" but it was drown out by the rest of the fairies that were yelling.
"Timmy knows that I prefer data modules instead of flowers, so calm down Stella, they aren't for me", Tecna yelled.
"Nabu knows I only eat chocolate, I'm allergic to most flowers if it wasn't for Flora's magic bonds. I hate all this cheesy shit, anyways. And he knows it", Aisha told and accusing Bloom.
"Hey!... QUIET!" I yell with all the voice I had, making everyone turn to me surprised.
"Look you guys they aren't for Tecna or Aisha. And they definitely weren't sent for me. So just check the message card in there and see who it's for… none of you thought to do that, did you?" I say blandly.
I get 5 sheepish looks from my fairy friends. Morons.
Aisha took out the card peeking out from the huge bouquet of the enchanted water lilies. Seriously, it was huge. And beautiful. Very beautiful. But Riven would never send me flowers. Even when we weren't in a spat. The only gift I got was forced from one of his friends. The thought brought more pain to me.
"Um, Musa", Aisha began. She handed me the card. I look at her confused. What…?
On the front of the card was my name written in just barely legible printing. But it was my name. The flowers are for me?
"The flowers are for her?" Stella says, voicing my thoughts, "Well open it up!"
And I do. There was a small card with sparkly music notes on the outside. I opened it up, reading the chicken scratch.
Musa,
I'm sorry. Come to the Dance. Please?
Riven
Riven send me these flowers. He even knew which flowers were my favourite. No matter how many times I say it, it doesn't seem true.
And he was apoligizing? Sure it wasn't the best apology note. It wasn't a romantic poem like Helia or cheesy compliments like Brandon but it was better than most things Riven says, or should I say, doesn't say. The thought brought a small smile to my face.
Flora POV
Musa stared at the card for a long time.
"Musa. Honey? What does it say?" she hands me card. The rest of the girls crowd around me reading the card.
"Riven sent this to you. Apparently the tin man does have a heart", Aisha states. I look at Musa who still seemed surprised but had a small smile on her face.
"Yeah, I guess he does", she says.
"So are you gonna go? Can I do your makeup?" Bloom asks.
Musa ponders over the thought for a while. She glances at the flowers. Sure the message wasn't the most romantic but the gesture was. I felt proud of Riven, He wasn't able to do something like this easily and doing it for Musa, just goes to show, how much he likes her. Musa sighed.
"Sure, why not. I wasn't going to do anything tonight anyway", she shrugs, but anybody could see the happiness seeping out of her. We all cheer and Musa smiles at us, coming in for a group hug. We truly are the best of friends. We all break apart and Tecna speaks up.
"Ok girls the dance starts in exactly 5 hours, 33 minutes and 18 seconds. Musa, Ms. Faragonda was asking if you could sing a song there for the opening of the dance. Just an inspirational song for the girls before the guys arrive. So you may need some time to set up. The rest of us will help decorate the Auditorium and Stella make the alterations to Musa's dress. Alright Winx let's go!"
We all part ways and go to our station to get ready.
Narrators POV
The next 3 hours were spent decorating and preparing for the dance.
Tecna prepared the lighting.
Flora did the flowers and table centerpieces.
Bloom and Stella did the wall decorations while Musa prepared and practiced her song. But she couldn't help but pause once in a while to look at the flowers. She couldn't believe that Riven would do something like this.
The rough, tough Riven sending his girlfriend flowers to apologize. And such a big bouquet too. She may have told Riven about water lilies being her favourite flower once or twice but she was surprised that he had actually listened and remembered. Sky, Brandon and Helia did this regularly. They sent flowers for no reason. But that was because they were raised to be gallant and gentlemanly, unlike Riven.
She snapped out of her thoughts and went back to her song. She had just finished singing it for the last time as Stella walked into her room.
"Darling time to make you gorgeous-er than normal", she said. Musa rolled her eyes but had a smile on her face. They both walked into Stella's room where the other girls were drooling over their dresses. Tecna had slipped into hers and was not doing her makeup.
Bloom's dress was a sparkly blue chiffon dress. That went body con to her knee but flared out afterward. Like a mermaid fin. She wore red stilettos underneath it.
Flora's was green a green knee length that was tight until the waist and was layered with lace until just above the knee. It had a belt of pink roses where the dress had started to flare out. She had pink wedges that went nicely with her outfit.
Stella's was like a Roman tunic, only it was orange with a strand of beads around her neck area going down to her waist in a-line form and reached the floor. Holding it up unlike a tunic's one shoulder. She had thick bracelets on her hands and gold sandals on her feet.
Aisha had a dark green lacy body con dress that went just above her knee. She was wearing a large necklace and earrings to make up for the simplicity of the dress. She was wearing similar coloured killer heels.
Musa looked over at her red dress. It had an empire waistline with a black belt with a red music note on it. It went to the floor had black sequins on the hemline. Stella had also given her a simple red and black necklace. She had paired it up with flats, knowing Musa hated heels, that were red and black like her dress. But Stella had also put out an outfit similar to the one she wore on the date two nights ago, for her pre-dance performance.
All the girls kept their hair down except for Aisha who had it up in a high ponytail and a decent amount of makeup on them all. Stella dressed Musa up and spelled her hair to stay in large waves. Bloom did her makeup and covered up the remaining scratches on her face.
They all went down to see Musa perform for the girls of Alfea before the guys arrived.
"Hi girls. I am going to sing my mother's favourite song with just a few alterations. It's to remind everyone that you can make your dreams come true and find the right person for you someday."
She sang "A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes" (modern version) with all the passion inside of her. She knew that even of her mom wasn't here, she was listening to the song above her and sharing it with the angels of Melody. She loved the song and apparently so did the girls because they were all screaming and cheering for Musa. She smiled at the audience one last time before getting off stage unaware that 6 guys had snuck in early and heard the whole thing…
The magenta haired specialist had a small smirk on his face. He was dating the most amazing girl…
He just hoped that he could keep it that way.
.oOo. .oOo. .oOo.
Back in their rooms Stella was fixing up Musa's makeup and getting her into her dress and shoes. The rest of the girls were congratulating her on her performance as well. They loved it.
"Musa that was amazing, just amazing darling. Magical", Stella said and the rest of the girls agreed.
"Thank you. But now for the real challenge", Musa said. The Winx assured her that she would be fine, even though she didn't believe it. But then she remembered the flowers and part of her spirits lifted by a bit. The flowers were more than what Riven has done all year but it was something. When Stella was done, Aisha yelled.
"Let'. Get. This. Party. Started!" the girls cheered and filed out of the room. To meet their boyfriends and maybe have an amazing night.
