Riven lay on his bed in the dorm he shared with Helia. He stared up at the ceiling, thinking about the girl he had been looking forward to see yesterday but who hadn't showed. None of the other girls had much to tell about why Musa didn't want to come to Red Fountain today. 'Did she not want to see me?' He thought to himself. 'What was she doing? Was she with someone else?' Then he scowled at himself. 'What should I care! I don't care if she's with some other dude! Why should I?' The room was silent, then Helia walked in, breaking Riven's back and forth thoughts.

"What's up, Riven?" Helia asked, sitting at his art desk.

"Thinking," Riven replied shortly.

"About?" Helia asked.

"Just thinking, O.K.!" Riven said, his voice rising slightly.

Helia turned around. "Sorry. My bad for attempting conversation." He turned back to his work and started to draw. Riven rolled his eyes and felt a little bad. It wasn't Helia's fault he was disappointed.

Riven gave a loud sigh and said, "I'm sorry, bro. I'm just a little…" He trailed off and got up from the bed and walked over to the balcony.

"It's alright, Riven," Helia said, his eyes still on his work. "I know you're disappointed Musa didn't show today." Riven turned and walked over to the art bench. Helia was working on a sketch of Flora in her Enchantix form. No doubt a present he would give her, just because. Maybe that's why she clearly loved him so much.

"That's really good, Helia," Riven said.

Helia held the paper up and said, "You think Flora will like it?"

"Yeah, I do" Riven replied quietly. Helia nodded and went back to work, Riven watching his pen move across the paper.

"Hey, can I ask you a favor?" Riven said. He didn't want to be in someone's debt, but he thought of a way he could win Musa over.

"Sure, Riven. What's up?"

"Umm… Could you maybe draw something for me? A picture of Musa? Like a present or something…"

"Riven, I know you want to impress Musa. But it should be something from the heart. Your heart, not mine." Riven scowled but understood what Helia was saying. "Try doing something nice for her," Helia continued. "Do something spontaneous that will make her happy."

"Like what?" Riven replied, starting to pace.

"She likes music," Helia suggested.

"I need something more original that that," Riven answered. "Flora never gets tired of poems and drawings, does she?"

" Well if she does, she hasn't said anything," Helia replied with a little chuckle.

"Thanks, Helia," Riven said starting to leave the room. "Hey, you know where Sky and Brandon are?"

Helia turned. "Yeah, last time I saw them they were out in the combat ring."

"Thanks. See you later."

Sky and Brandon were talking when Riven walked up. "Hey Riven!" Brandon called. "What's going on?"

"Yeah, where have you been, man?" Sky asked.

"I was… Just studying," Riven replied shyly. The last thing he wanted the guys to think was that he had spent the whole day thinking about Musa.

"But it's Saturday!" Sky said.

"Never mind," Riven answered quickly. "I wanted to talk to you guys about something."

The two other boys looked at each other with raised eyebrows. Riven never asked for advice. "O.K.," Sky said. "Shoot."

"Well…Umm I have a question about… Musa."

"Well it's about time!" Brandon yelled dramatically. "Let's hear it!"

"Cool it, alright!" Riven said, his temper flaring up a little. "I just wanna know…You know…Do you think she…Maybe likes me?" The red-headed hero's blushed and turned away.

"Well," Sky answered. "Have you asked her?"

"I can't just ask her! What if she says no!" Between anger and embarrassment, the shade of Riven's face matched his hair.

"Well, Riven," Brandon said calmly. "The only way you're gonna know is if you ask her."

"Well, I was maybe hoping Bloom or Stella had said something."

"Maybe some things," Brandon said with a smile.

"I don't have time for this!" Riven yelled and started to storm off.

The other boys laughed and ran after him. "Hold up, dude," Sky chuckled. "They did say that she talks about you."

Riven turned. "She talks about me? What does she say?"

"We can't tell you, "Brandon said.

"Why not?" Riven yelled.

"Cause the girls told us out of confidence. We can't just tell you what they say to you," Sky answered.

"Yeah," Brandon added. "It wouldn't be right."

"What am I supposed to do?" Riven said, starting to feel a little hopeless.

"Ask her yourself. Go see her. Do something nice for her," Sky suggested.

"You guys are no help…" Riven said softly.

"Hey you asked us for advice and we gave it to you. Take or leave it." Brandon started to leave but Sky stayed behind.

"If she didn't like you, we wouldn't set you up for disappointment. Go see her tonight." The blond hero followed his friend out of the ring, leaving Riven to think.
