Ch: 3 "The Dance"

The girls' dorm room

"I am so excited! I finally get to see my sh-nookums!" exclaimed Stella. Her "sh-nookums" of course was Brandon. You see the annual dance with the Red Fountain boys was coming up. Every year the girls get all dressed up and the guys come to Alfea for a night of dancing, fun, and such.

"Yeah, I can't wait, either," said Bloom, "So when do the guys get here?"

"6:30," replied Techna.

"But the dance isn't until 7," said Flora.

"Yes, but they have to bring the gifts," said Musa with a "no-duh" attitude.

"Geesh what's got her all messed up?" questioned Stella who was now receiving the evil-eye from every girl except Musa, "Oh," she said softly.

"It's okay," said Flora with her usual calm, soothing voice.

"Hey Musa, why don't we help you find an outfit that Riven will be sure to notice?" said Bloom.

"You'd really do that?" said Musa.

"Of course we would, we are always here to help!" exclaimed Stella, "Now we only have 2 hours to find Musa a drop-dead gorgeous outfit and get ready!"

"Well what are we waiting for lets go!" shouted Bloom.

"Oh, what about this one?" asked Techna.

"No," the group replied.

"I found it the perfect outfit!" exclaimed Musa as all the girls rushed over to where she was.

"Perfect," they said.

"Now lets get back according to my calculations we only have 45 minutes," said Techna.

Alfea

"Come on girls hurry up! I really want to see my sh-nookums," Stella said very frantically. She was wearing a knee-high gold dress that had spaghetti straps and blue trimmings and ankle-high boots.

"Hold on!" said Bloom as she came out of her room. Bloom was wearing a floor-length dress that was turquoise with long sleeves that belled out at the end and knee-high baby blue boots.

"I'm here," said Flora coming out of the room she shared with Bloom. She was wearing a knee-high pink dress with green straps and red roses around the bottom.

"Okay, so what do you think?" asked Techna as she came out of the room she shared with Musa. She was wearing a purple knee-high dress which had green trims a cape and matching ankle boots.

"Amazing," they all said.

"Come on Musa the boys will…" Stella paused as Musa walked in wearing a ruby red dress with tank top straps that went to her knees and had rubies making like a belt around her waist and ruby red ties on the back, with red strap up sandals.

"You look amazing," they all said.

"Well what are we waiting for lets go," Musa said.

Dining Hall before the girls made it there

"Come on Riven just admit it you fell in love with the musical princess," said Sky with a small smirk on his face.

"I did not!" growled a now very angry Riven.

"Bro, look here they come," said Brandon who was almost jumping for joy.

"You look amazing Bloom," said Sky as he hugged her and kissed her on the cheek.

"Wow Stella you look beautiful," said Brandon just before the two kissed.

"Flora, you look absolutely ravishing," said Helia as she hugged him and kissed him on the cheek turning his usually pale face a bright red.

"Wow Techna I'm speechless," said Timmy as the two hugged.

'Where's Musa' Riven thought to himself. Just then Musa walked through the door and Riven's eyes grew to the size of disco balls.

"Yo, um, bro your drooling," said Sky as he nudged Riven.

"Huh. Oh um thanks I guess," Riven said.

"Dude, just ask her to dance," said Brandon offering friendly advice.

Just then Mrs. Faragonda, Alfea's headmistress, stepped on stage and asked Princess Musa if she would grace them with a song and she said yes and went on stage as the music slowly started to play.

Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away

Chorus:
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

Chorus

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

After she finished she curtsied and everyone clapped in amazement, then she came down off stage and hurried over to her friends.

"Wow girl that as amazing," said Bloom and everyone shook their heads in agreement.

Just then Musa felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to see who it was and to her surprise it was Riven.

"Would you care to dance?" he said as he bowed down and offered her his hand, which she gladly accepted and the two started dancing.

"It's about time," Sky said to Bloom pointing to their two friends.

"Alright girls now it is time to wish the boys goodbye and good night," Mrs. F. said as all the girls started aaaawwwwing.

"But not before receiving our gifts," smirked Brandon as he opened the chest revealing small boxes. As the boys distributed the boxes the girls opened them to find or actually hear slow soft music.

"Now girls it's time to give the boys their presents," said Mrs. F. The tradition was whoever the last boy you were last dancing with you had to give a kiss on the cheek. So every girl did just that as they wished the boys goodbye. Then the crafts went up and jetted off.
