Sorry for the long wait. Internships and summer classes and a bunch of other crap got in the way of this and then of course school started up again. Ugh…growing up.

BTW – I hate the pixies so please don't expect to see them in the story, sorry

The First Charmix

Daniel had never quite understood what kept him so close to Musa, but the problems that would tear most people apart managed to pull them closer together seamlessly. The first major hiccup being an argument when they were kids to their break-up, which led to the two of them to not speaking for months, to anything else life seemed to put in front of them. He could never understand how it was that their feelings for each other managed to simply dissolve back to friendship, not that he cared, and he was actually pretty relieved for it. No matter how close they got he knew they were never going there again, which made him sure that there was nothing he could do to lose his best friend.

Even kicking her when she hogged the blanket.

The prince rolled over with a groan, kicking Musa in the shin as he did so and pulled the entirety of the blanket over himself, nearly throwing the princess off the bed. "Daniel!" Musa yelled out, her eyes flying open at the sudden movement, as she was suddenly awoken. "Why does this keep happening?" Musa said sitting up in the bed and looking over to the prince. They had gone out after they talked at Alfea to get Musa to relax and after a few drinks, they ended up going to stay at Musa's permanent suite in the Luxe Hotel.

"You want my body," Daniel groaned with a smile as he woke up a little bit. "You know you never used to wake up so damn early," He continued and threw the pillow above his head and rolled over in an attempt to fall back asleep in the enormously comfortable bed.

"Its not early," Musa said urgently looking at her watch and throwing the legs out from under the sheets and then running to the other side of the room and shoving her feet in her shoes. "It's almost noon,"

"Yeah," Daniel said groaned loudly finally throwing the pillow to the other side of the bed and sitting up, his mind still in a fog. "Early,"

Musa laughed and threw the pillow at the prince as she walked to the other side of the room and grabbed her phone, shoved it in her pocket and headed for the door. "I have to get back to school, I've already missed a couple classes,"

"Yeah and I promised father I'd be back in school by know," Daniel said looking at his watch. "I might take a pit stop at the marina, go sailing…"

Musa smiled at the prince as she got her things and headed towards the door, he was pretty much done trying to get his father's approval since it was obvious that the king was not going give it to him. "Well have fun and call me when you get back,"

"See ya," Daniel said getting out of the bed finally and giving the princess a hug before she left the hotel room. "And don't worry about Galatea, we'll take care of her," He called out as she left.

Musa simply nodded, having complete confidence in him, and left.

"Flora if you don't move this disgusting viney thing from my window, I swear the god I am going to stick a heel in it's roots, pull it out and feed it to kiko," Stella stormed out of her room and into the common room, waving a small potted plant in the air, looking slightly like she should have been in an asylum.

"Oh…its too early for this," Musa sighed with a groan as she walked into the circus tent that was her dorm room.

"Don't you dare," Flora spat back in her normal kind demeanor, walked quickly after the solarian princess before she did something to her precious flower.

"Where were you?" Stella snapped looking over to Musa, focusing on the musical fairy that had so obviously run from somewhere and was wearing the same clothes from the night before. "Walk of shame?"

"Hardly," Musa smiled as she began in towards her room, hoping to avoid a flurry of useless questions that she always got when she went out with Daniel, or spent the night with him. "Why are you two breaking the sound barrier?" Musa said posing a question to Stella's "I could hear you all the way in Magix,"

"Nothing," Flora said politely and quickly snatched the plant out of Stella's hand. "Stella was just being a spoiled brat," She said, one of the first harsh words the girls had every really heard Flora utter.

"Excuse me ladies," a voice from behind the door frame. Griselda stood there, menacing as ever, waiting until she got everyone's attention. "Miss Faragonda would like to see you girls immediately, oh and, princess Musa, don't think I didn't see you sneaking back on campus this morning,"

"Oh I just went out for a walk earlier," Musa excused.

"Really? And Prince Cunningham had nothing to do with your breaking curfew," Griselda said to everyone's surprise. "I know more than you think," She said with almost an evil smirk and then walked out of the room, leaving one last hurried reminder to get to Miss Faragonda's office.

"Griselda said that you wanted to see us," Bloom said as she opened door to the head mistresses office, the girls all filed in one by as and stood in front of her desk in an organized fashion as they normally did.

"Girls come in," Faragonda waved the girls to enter her office as she turned away from her large window and the six lined up in front of her desk. The meeting came at the perfect time since Musa seemed to walk in on an all out war when she walked into the dorm this morning. The girls had been so busy with school that they had all been staying in, around each other, making them all on edge and to add to that there was the stress of impending doom thanks to lord Darkar. "Things have been tough lately and I know you are all tired, losing the Alfea codex has been very difficult for all of us but now is the time that we must pull together. We must be fully prepared for the next battle,"

"Well I hope we can do it," Flora said in her normal sweet demeanor. And even though she was trying her best to make sure that everyone's spirits were up, Stella had been getting a little sick of it.

"Well I hope we can do it," Stella mocked "Come on Flora, with that kind of attitude we might as well give up now,"

"Girls can you please stop fighting," Miss Faragonda, "I have a surprise for you…"

The girls anxiously awaited to be picked up a few hours later after getting the news that they would be having a vacation to relax and the fact that they were going to be accompanied by the boys, even though they were on official class assignments. Even Layla was looking forward to it, more for the vacation than the boys, but still.

Musa and the girls stood in the quad as the squad car arrived to pick them up and she could feel her heart begin to race at the thought of having some real time to spend with Riven, she couldn't help but think that it would be the perfect time for them to get closer and maybe even have a real conversation instead of the awkward ones they tended to have due to the obvious sexual tension between the two.

The musical princess walked into the ship to see Riven lounging on a chair with his feet up on what looked like the control panel, not that Musa was surprised by the utter disrespect of Red Fountain's property, and yet his nonchalant attitude only made him sexier in her eyes. "Hey Riven," Musa said trying her best to keep any excitement out of his voice, sure she really liked him but she was not about to give up the little dignity she had managed to hold onto.

"Hey Musa," Riven said just as casually and then turned his attention back to the book he was flipping through. Feeling unbelievably embarrassed for even looking at him, Musa joined an equally irritated Techna and simply stood a good distance from the specialists that seemed to be so incredibly stupid.

"Boys," the two said almost in unison.

"We're here," Sky announced as the squad ship began to descend onto a helipad on the top of a large winter cottage, a rather weird place to have a landing pad, but the whole resort was themed and this was the little winter wonderland area.

"Finally," Musa huffed with an exhausted sigh, not sure if she was more fed up with the long trip or the fact that Riven had his head so far up his own ass that he couldn't see what was right in front of him, or he refused to and simply hid behind the no frat rule.

Musa walked off the ship, throwing her bag behind her assuming one of the boys would pick it up, since they made such a fuss about the rules, she would make she they knew that it was the girls' vacation and they were simply there for assistance.

The group walked onto the plowed trail on the picturesque scene and into the warm central cottage. The whole winter section of the resort was set up like a small ski town and the main ski resort was in the building they had walked into and in the distance Musa could see very familiar looking private cottage. The princess couldn't help but revel in the scene; it reminded her of all the winters she spent at home with her friends and family. And the sound of Stella's boot heels against the marble lobby was a familiar sound. "Checking in," Musa smiled at the handsome man standing behind the counter, unconsciously fixing her hair a little bit when he smiled at her.

"Ah yes the head mistress of Alfea just called us to let us know you had arrived," He informed the group as the bellman began to take the bags from the boys and put them on his cart.

"Wow, I didn't even get a chance to call in our arrival," Sky said looking down at his phone.

"Big brother is watching," Brandon said with a roll of his eyes.

"This is going to be fun," Stella groaned, leaning her elbow on the counter. This vacation was supposed to relaxing and the last thing anyone wanted was to be watched especially when they were on vacation with their boys.

"Your suite is on the fourth floor, our bellmen will show you there," He said politely to the group of teenagers.

The suite they were given was a pretty beautiful one, a fully functional pent house and the girls were all in their own rooms while the boys got share one large room, something none of them seemed to be too happy about. Although Brandon was quick to make himself at home on plush couch in the palatial living area.

"This was where the last Winter Champion Games were held two years ago," Musa said as she walked around the palatal suite, knowing it looked familiar. She knew she had been the resort realm at some time or another, every royal had been at some time in their life, and suddenly she had a good idea. "I think I stayed at the resort, this place looks very familiar,"

"Oh yeah," Stella said turning around and giving the place a good look. "I think I was here for that, you know this place has some good looking ski instructors,"

"Something to keep in mind," Musa grinned and looked over to the guys to gauge Brandon's and more importantly Riven's. Both of which had a slightly annoyed expressions, although she would keep the ski instructor advice in mind. She seemed to be getting absolutely nowhere with Riven and Musa was still after all a hormonally driven teenager.

"Well behave yourself," Brandon said walking past Musa and making a count of the rooms. "We are all being kept under teachers tabs,"

"What do you girls wanna do tonight?" Bloom asked looking around the posh room. The suite that the school booked for the girls was very nice to say the least. The resort was famous for it's upscale amenities and large accommodations, probably because the resort realm was made for the universe's rich and powerful.

"There are a few clubs at the resort and they make killer drinks," Musa said wondering what her friends would be like if they let loose. They had never really gone out together and she didn't like to think that they were stuffy but her observations said otherwise. Stella was the only one she had ever seen pick up a drink, granted she knew being a princess and having the green light to do whatever she wanted without much consequence was a reason for that, but still she had a hard time believing that the girls and guys for that matter were so straight edge. It was high school not reform school, she knew very well that going out and making some bad decisions were all a part of the experience.

"What part of 'keeping tabs' did you not get," Brandon said sarcastically as he stretched out on the couch. "Anything you do is on the account for the room so you won't be able to do much,"

"Like you boys would let us forget," Techna huffed under her breath as she grabbed her bags from the bellman and moved them into her room.

"There's no magic here, so if we can't use our powers then can they magically track us?" Layla asked, seeing where Musa was going with this and being unable to stop smiling at the thought.

"The headmaster told us to check in every hour except after 1am and then we check in at 6am," Timmy clarified.

"But there's no way to check in on us if we don't use the school account between 1 and 6," Layla asked with a smile growing.

"It can't be that easy," Riven mentioned logically. He knew a thing or two about getting around the rules and there was no way in hell that the teachers not only allowed but paid for a vacation for all them at a resort with every amenity possible. Keeping tabs on account activity was pretty stupid considering half of their group was loaded and could easy cover any trouble they wanted to get into.

"And what's life without a little excitement," Stella grinned as well.

"Or stupidity," Bloom added. "Hate to agree with Riven but there is no way that the only parameters they've set up is a simple phone call, the hotel staff must be in on it,"

"They can be bribed," Stella pointed out.

"And I'm sure the teachers already thought of that," Techna added.

"For the record, I'm all for breaking the rules," Riven corrected and went on. "Just not getting caught, they must have put some type of magical tracking on you girls when you use your powers,"

"Except we can't use our powers," Musa added

"So maybe they just trust us?" Stella said hopefully.

"Not likely,"

"Look this vacation is going to suck if we can't do anything," Musa stated. "I say we have as much fun as we can and then deal with the consequences later,"

"That sounds oddly familiar," Sky said looking over to Riven and trying his bed to contain a smile. It was insane how perfect and he and Musa were for each other.

"I like where this is going," Brandon added.

"I second that," Stella squeaked.

"That would be really...against the rules," Sky said after a momentary lapse in which he thought about just how much fun it would be to let loose, but he did have a reputation for being a buzz kill and that may have been because he was utterly terrified of ever disappointing anyone.

"Well you boys can either have your own rooms or sleep out on the couch here," Musa reminded.

"What do you suggest?" Riven said finally saying something directly to Musa, a little bit intrigued by her although he tried his best to hid it. She couldn't be too surprised that his attention turned to her when she suggested something against the rules.

"Another suite," Stella said excitedly.

"My family villa," Musa said more specifically. "We were here for the last Winter games and we have a private villa here, it has more than enough space for all of us and its beautiful,"

"And a separate villa ensures that we will not have to be under lock and key," Stella added.

"And we can do whatever we want," Brandon added as he grabbed his things. "I'm in,"

"Guys is that really the best idea?" Bloom asked nervously, walking out of her room and back into the living area. "This place has plenty of space and…"

"But how are we gonna get the keys to the villa," Layla said ignoring Bloom and turning back to Musa who had taken a seat on the dining table that faced the living room.

"We could persuade the nice front desk man that he should help us out," Stella smiled. "Quietly,"

"And who is going to do that," Brandon asked suspiciously, knowing his girlfriend wouldn't pass up the opportunity to get attention, although she knew he would not be too okay with it.

"I'll do it," Musa volunteered simply to get a reaction out of Riven, and when she volunteered, she did.

"Really?" Stella asked skeptically. "You?"

"What you don't think I can?" Musa challenged, she knew she wasn't exactly the vixen of the group but she also knew she was more than capable of bating her eyelashes and flirting. "Just because I don't wear something similar to a hooker, doesn't mean I can't charm a guy,"

"Fine you do it," Stella surrendered. "But you are not doing it in that outfit; you're more covered up than you need to be,"

"Fine I'll just grab something out of your bag," Musa smiled maliciously grabbing her bag and walking into one of the rooms to change.

"Don't touch the red one!" Stella called out.

A few minutes later Musa was dressed and just looking for a pair of shoes to put on as the rest of the group continued to debate whether switching rooms was a good idea. "Do you wanna be out from under the teachers or not?" Stella sniped quickly at Sky, who along with his girlfriend, were the main sources of opposition.

"Yeah but if they find out we're gonna be in huge trouble," He began. "Not to mention we're pimping out our friend to do it,"

"Okay all she has to do is flirt with him," Stella defended.

"And he's pretty cute so it shouldn't be a problem," Musa said as she walked out of the room in Stella's dress and her heels, noticing everyone look of surprise as she did. She also took a look at Riven who didn't seem at all happy with their plan, but refused to say anything since that would make him admit something he was too stubborn to.

"I love it," Stella beamed.

"You look…" Brandon began looking at Musa not really knowing what to say. He'd seen her dressed up before but never wearing so little, and while he loved that dress on Stella, he felt slightly uncomfortable with Musa in it. It was like watching his little sister strut around in a slinky, tight dress. "Different,"

"Well, I'll be back in a couple of minutes," Musa smiled with a wink and left the room, leaving just the sound of her heels in the marble hallway.

"That was easy," Musa smiled at the doorway smiling with the keys to her family villa in her hand.

Stella shrieked happily and hugged the musical princess. "I am so proud of you,"

Within the next hour the group managed to settle into their new accommodations. Musa's family villa was much larger than their old suite, allowing everyone to have their own rooms and still have plenty of space to hang around. "So what do you wanna do now?" Timmy asked looking up from his computer, making sure that there was no way that their head master could track them, and it seemed pretty clear that they would be fine.

"Musa and I were gonna go down to the club if anyone wants to come," Stella suggested as she walked out of her room, dressed in the red dress she told Musa not to wear. The two looked stunning.

"I'm coming," Brandon said as he got off of the couch to go get changed. Everyone needed a break and some time to let loose, not to mention he was not about to let Musa and his girlfriend go to a club, alone, dressed like they were.

"I wanna come too," Flora said. She figured she had never really been the kind of girl to go out and let loose and she didn't want to be the wet blanket that Stella always accused her of being.

"If there's dancing, I'm in," Layla said getting up to go get dressed.

And within the next ten minutes everyone had decided to come along, including Riven, who interestingly enough didn't need much convincing. They even broke into the suite's bar before they left, which was like watching a dog walk on it's hind legs for Musa.

She had never seen someone as straightedge like Flora or Techna even pick up a drink and that night they were keeping up with everyone else, which was interesting to say the least.

Once at the club, Musa, Layla and a few others decided to dance awhile while everyone else got to hang out in the VIP section which was thanks to their new accommodations since being an owner of a private villa granted you access to drink service and private access to everything the upscale resort had to offer.

After awhile of dancing and drinking, Musa plotted down on the plush couch in between Riven and Brandon. Brandon was a little preoccupied with Stella to be paying any attention so Musa turned her attention over to the specialist and smiled. "You know you don't always have to be the bruiting one in the corner,"

"I'm not in the corner," Riven corrected her with a small smile, pointing out that he was indeed not in the corner, which was actually occupied by Bloom and Sky, being nauseating as usual. She was so damn enthralling, he couldn't think straight when she was around, and her outfit and her demeanor were not making it any easier. She was normally pretty shy which made it easier for him to be around her, but she suddenly had some courage and he was not prepared for this.

Musa couldn't help but giggle when he flashed that smile, god he looked good. She took another ship of the champagne and looked at the bottle and poured the rest of it in his glass, seeing as hers was full. The group had been going through a lot of alcohol that night.

"No thanks," Riven said a little too late, He already had a few and the last thing he needed was for his inhibitions to be lower. He could just see himself saying something or doing something that he knew wasn't a good idea, and the last thing he needed was himself believing that he and Musa were a good idea. He knew very well that they weren't, he already knew how capable he was of hurting her and today of all days just showed how far above him she was.

Musa looked at him surprised, since when was Riven the goody goody? "You dated a member of the Trix, but drinking is on your 'no-no' list'," Musa joked loudly, leaning back on the plush couch and looking back up to the specialist and seeing her joke had not gone over so well. She immediately felt horrible about what she had said, she really had meant it to be funny but now she felt like a complete bitch for bringing it up.

Riven instantly looked away in shame, looking at the floor unable to look at Musa, not that he was angry with her, more that he was angry with himself and ashamed at the way he had acted just a year ago. What made it worse was that Musa was so blunt about it, which hurt even more. Did she really think that lowly of him? "I –.." Musa began but Riven stood up and began to the door.

"Sorry," Riven said so quietly it was basically inaudible because of the music playing loudly but Musa managed to catch it and the look of hurt and shame in his eyes before he turned away from her. Musa looked back to see her friends were preoccupied and that her asinine comment was really only heard by Riven. Feeling bad, the princess got on her feet and went after Riven,

"I'm sorry," Musa said running out of the club after Riven, seeing him walk toward the part of the resort that the suites were. "I was just joking, I didn't mean–," Musa said trying her best not to slur; she really should not have drank.

"Don't worry about it," Riven said looking up at the princess and wondering what exactly he had been thinking that night. He had hoped all year to get closer to her, but he couldn't seem to shake the undeserving feeling he had about her. She was perfect in his eyes and he knew he had his obvious flaws but he hated thinking about what he had done to her the year before, every time he thought about that day in Magix he realized how easily he would have let those witches kill Musa without a second look. He couldn't trust himself around her, even now that the spell was lifted he didn't trust himself, she was far too important to him. Not to mention that it seemed like she had much better options than him, he reminded himself. With her prince charming showing up all the time he was beginning to realize that there was a good chance he was going to have see her with someone else, it made more sense. He had already proven that he was incapable of making a move and it was pretty clear that someone else might and while it made him want to strangle the last breath out of any guy that got to be with her, he had to be realistic. Princesses didn't end up with guys like him.

"I didn't mean anything by it," Musa said walking over to him, knowing that he probably wasn't going to be going back in the club. She still felt so insecure about the past and the fact that she now knew that the spell wasn't completely to blame made her nervous, but the alcohol gave her a little more courage and she thought a joke might break the ice between them. They were really just one conversation from actually getting somewhere in their relationship but they never seemed to get that far. But this was probably not that conversation.

"Its fine," Riven said dodging her slightly inebriated gaze. He did however look over to the girl, standing outside the club, her heels keeping her feet just out of the snow; shivering and he couldn't help but feel even worse. "Go inside you're gonna freeze,"

"Only if you come back in," Musa protested as her teeth began to chatter, cursing Stella for forcing her into shoes that were too big and were now freezing.

"I like my chances considering how small that dress is," Riven said with a smirk, he couldn't stop himself from remembering how good she looked in that slinky dress. He couldn't figure out what to make of his relationship with her, it was obvious to everyone involved that they liked each other, and he knew she was waiting for him to make a move. But he was sure she hadn't thought about what happened after that, but he had and it made him nervous to say the least. She may have thought that she wanted something now, but her was sure her feelings would change later.

A small smile spread across Musa's face, the alcohol giving her a little more confidence. "I have impressive stamina," Musa spat snidely with a grin letting him know that she was just teasing.

"It's not really my scene,"

"Oh and what is?"

"A corner where I can brute,"

"Fine then I'll join you," Musa said inviting herself, silently thanking the alcohol because without it she would have never had the courage to do something like that by herself. "I think I've had enough anyway, unless you need to brute by yourself,"

"Fine," Riven said trying to hide his smile as he and Musa walked back to the suite. The rest of the night proceeded rather uneventfully for Musa, but in relation to her relationship with Riven, it was leap in the right direction. They spent most of the night in the movie room watching whatever was on television and talking, nothing too intense or person, since Riven really wasn't comfortable with it and Musa was not nearly drunk enough to ask. But it was nice, and for the first time she actually talked to him, which served to make her want him even more.

The next morning, everyone was a little slow to get up, considering the night they had the night before. Siting at the breakfast table with a warm cup of coffee, Musa smiled at the maid that brought her her breakfast and quietly said thank you. Then looking down at the food she could not imagine herself being able to eat anything for a while. She, Timmy and Layla had been the first ones out for breakfast and over the next few minutes everyone seemed to file out of their rooms.

"So what do you guys wanna do today," Layla asked when everyone sat down at the table and ate breakfast quietly.

"We could go shopping," Stella suggested although she was ignored by most of the table.

"Well we are at a ski resort," Sky suggested. The slopes looked pretty great when they were flying in and they were universally renowned to be some of the most beautiful scenes. Besides they were scheduled to leave for the more tropical part of the resort in a couple days so he figured getting some skiing in would be nice.

"I'm down." Layla agreed. "It'll be fun to get out on the slopes,"

"Yeah we should go," Musa agreed. "But, I'd hate to agree with Stella but we don't have gear so we will have to go shopping,"

"Ooh yay!" Stella squealed.

Musa stood in a store trying on hats for skiing even though she was more interested in the fact that Riven and the boys were now escorting the girls around the resort. The boys had basically split up according to their respective love interest, with the exception of Brandon who was stuck with Stella, who was forcing Layla and Flora watch her trying on millions of outfits.

Riven had followed Musa for 'security purposes' but she knew better. It was a little odd however, he was a little standoffish every since their chat the night before. Although, Musa wasn't exactly surprised by the development, but he was still cordial and they would talk every now and then but it was not exactly anything of substance.

"Do you wanna get dinner tonight Riven? Come on…" Musa laughed nervously, trying her best to keep her heart from jumping. It wasn't a big deal, she had asked Daniel to dinner a billion time, granted she always knew his answer would be yes. But Riven had been acting different around her all day, sure it was while they were alone. Besides it would be nice to have some more alone time with him, and they had accomplished sneaking off the watch of the teachers, so she figured maybe it would be okay.

"No," Riven said quickly, almost as if he didn't need to think about. He didn't even look at her, simply answered as if it was a reflex. It wasn't that he wouldn't completely enjoy the time with her, but he was a little freaked out at how close he could see himself getting to her. He knew very well he was terrified of anything remotely close to a commitment and the reason for that was probably because he knew on some level he was scared of losing her. He knew it was dangerous to get close to her, besides he really did need to try to not break the rules, while his friends might be able to take a smudge on their otherwise clean records, his was thoroughly marked up so he knew he couldn't keep messing up. "I can't socialize with you."

"Fine. Then why don't you go do a perimeter or something?" Musa snapped back and walked away from him, obviously a little hurt from the rejection. She didn't really know how she was going to keep trying with him if he kept dragging them back to square one. Just as she said that Riven turned and smiled, well smirked was a better word for it, and cam closer ad picked up one of the puff balls hanging from the ridiculous hat had put on. "Hey!" Musa said, in no mood for his weird bipolar relationship behavior, at the same time her mouth went dry as she wished he would just kiss her.

"Your hat looks kinda cute," Riven could see the change in her face and he used every ounce of his willpower to not just press his mouth on hers and break some more rules. But he kept his desires in check and saw that the amusement had left her face and his comment really only seemed to anger her.

"Don't socialize!" she snapped, trying her best to gather her dignity after he had basically blwn it to bits after he has in effect rejected her offer to go out to dinner. She simply grabbed her bags and headed back to the suite.

"Well we can be polite, friendly and cordial, you know," Riven added, trying to be a little nicer but his comment only came out to be insulting, as if her were teasing her for putting herself out there. The princess threw the hat at his face and slammed the boutique door as she left.

"So Musa, you and Riven snuck off early last night," Bloom said with a smile, not sure if anyone else had noticed their quick departure and by the look of shock on their faces, they hadn't noticed. In their defense, everyone did drink a lot. The girls had just finished their shopping and went back to their rooms to get dressed for the slopes and Musa couldn't seem to dodge the questions

"What!" Stella squealed and sat down on Musa's bed excitedly hoping for details. "No! what did you two do...in here…all alone, should I not sit on these sheets,"

"Nothing happened," Musa said trying not to smile too much, she didn't want to be the girl who read way too much into little things, but it was nice to have had a night where Riven's attention was focused solely on her. "Seriously," Musa insisted when she saw the look on her friends' faces. "We just watched TV and talked for a while,"

"That's sweet," Flora said.

"I dunno," Musa said as she put on her snow gear. "We'll see what happens," She knew she would be stupid to get too excited and she knew she was a little guarded, but then again she knew there was a good chance nothing would ever materialize from her relationship with Riven and she had to be okay with that, or at least prepared for it.

The best way to deal with this was to just pretend it didn't bother her that he was acting like a complete moron that could not seem to make up his mind. A part of her did want to just hook up with some random guy in front of him in the hopes to illicit some type of response, but Musa wasn't the kind to play those games.

"I'm starting to think all of us cramming into one lift was a bad idea," Musa said an hour later when they all got onto the lift to go skiing, she felt a little concerned as she felt the car rocking back and forth.

"Come on Musa," Stella said. "This is a nice resort, I doubt that their lifts wouldn't be up to date, I mean seriously even I vacation here," The princess finished as everyone else rolled their eyes.

The day proceeded rather well and it seemed that everyone was loosening up and beginning to completely ignore the no frat rule unless one of the boys did one of their check-ins and then they would be a little tense for a few minutes but all of that would wash away eventually.

"Hey guys let's take one more run before it gets dark," Flora suggested when everyone made it down the slopes a few hours later after a day of skiing.

Once on the "This cable is about to break!" Timmy reported when he managed to poke his head out of the top of the car. The car began to swing even more as he informed that the cable was deteriorating quickly.

"Oh!" everyone cried out

The car began to sway even more dangerously in the wind and a sinking feeling began to hit everyone there. "You have to transform!" Amore ordered, forgetting that the girls did not have the ability to use their powers, since the teachers bounded them.

"We can't transform," Stella reminded her.

"There's got to be a logical solution," Techna assured everyone even though it was pretty clear that there was no real easy way out of this since the girls were always used to flying out of sticky situations.

"Boys, you have to do something. This is the reason why you're here," Musa snapped earning her a venomous look from all the boys. "What? I'm sorry I thought that was why you were invited along?"

It wasn't long before the whole car broke out in argument and it was clear nothing was getting done.

I can't believe I got my charmix!" Bloom exclaimed for probably the one hundredth time

"Oh my god, we get it," Stella said and the lowered her voice as she and the rest of the group returned to the suite after giving the management an ear full. "Calm down you're still a pathetic orphan from earth," Stella snapped before heading into her room. (1)

The other girls simply smiled at each other and walked into their respective rooms to get ready for dinner since everyone seemed to have their fill of Bloom and her ego that she claimed not to have. There was always of those in a group so they simply accepted it.

"Dinner then the club?" Layla yelled out loud into the large villa, and then after a few minutes to think it over everyone decided it was probably the best way to shake off the day. "Should be an interesting week," Layla said looking over to Musa and grabbing her things.

"Yes it should,"

1. Of course the annoying ginger gets the charmix first. Sorry I just cant stand bloom.

Okay so how could the teachers possibly keep tabs on them? I decided that they couldn't because that's just no fun, they sent a bunch of hormonally driven teens on vacation together so they should suffer the consequences of such obviously bad decision making.

And I know its been awhile since the last update and it will probably be a while till the next one, blame med school, I'm super busy even on Christmas break.
