I finished this last night but it was really late so I didn't get to upload right away. The next chapter might take time since I got sick, boo :( But please do enjoy! :D R&R

Chapter 4: It starts

"Stop it Muri" Musa was reading some of her sheet music, she hadn't had anytime to finish up her new piece.

Muri was sitting beside Musa trying to get some attention; he tried everything he could do. Howling, jumping on her, giving her some toys so she would play with him, he even licked her just so she would look at him.

"Seriously, baby, I need to concentrate" Musa patted her, whimpering, pup.

Muri rested his head on his paws and growled; he just wanted some attention since the girls will be really busy later. They'll be going to Red Fountain to get their stuff back, even though they're coming along, Muri wanted some alone time with her.

"Musa?" Tecna knocked on the door; she just got off the phone with Professor Saladin.
"What's up?" Musa laid the sheet music on her bed; Muri took this chance to get rid of the enemy.
"We'll be leaving in 1 hour so I need..." Tecna raised her eyebrow as her vision caught a villain in action.
"Need what?" Musa snapped her fingers in front of her spaced out friend.
"Need you to look at what Muri is doing" Tecna started to laugh.

Musa turned around and saw the crime scene that's occurring, bits and pieces of paper were flying around her bed as Muri chewed on the 4 paged sheet music that she had been working on for hours.

"MURI!" she yelled as the pup dropped his jaw and jumped of the bed.
"I'll see you in an hour" Tecna was still laughing, she had closed the door but you could still hear her joy.

Muri ran to Musa's opened closet and hid there until she could cool down, it wasn't entirely his fault. If Musa gave him a bit of attention then he wouldn't have done that, right?

"Once I get my hands on you..." Musa was picking up the pieces of paper, she could easily whip up a spell and fix it but it would be all wrinkly.

She snapped her fingers and all the ripped pieces of paper formed the 4 paged sheets, but of course, Musa wasn't going to forgive her little pup just yet. She looked around her room for him, under the bed, behind the bed, under the covers, by her CD cases, inside her guitar case, and on top of the closet.

"Aha" she grinned as faint rustling noises left the closet.

Musa grabbed the handle of the closet and smirked; now she had him.

"There you are!" she pulled the doors open. "Huh?"

Nothing, there was nothing but the clothes she left lying there. She analyzed it for a good 10 seconds and then started to throw her clothes out the closet. As it got fewer she could see some silver fur peeking. Gotcha.

"Hello there, Muri" she cooed in to his ear.

Muri turned his head and smiled at the girl, he was in for it now. Musa placed both her hands on her waist and tapped her foot, Muri jumped down the closet and walked, with his head down, back to the bed.

Musa sighed, this little puppy was really like Riven.

"How bout this" she took a seat next to the disappointed husky and stroked his head, 1 thing she learned about Muri is that he loved being petted. "After the visit in Red Fountain we go to the park and listen to some tunes, just you and me" Musa tilted his head up and smiled.

Muri barked, an approving one, and stood up with his tail wagging. Musa fixed her wrinkled papers and placed them at her side desk, there was no way she was going to finish this any time soon.

"Knock, knock" Stella poked her head in the room; she was all dressed up for the visit that'll take place in 55 minutes.
"Hey, Stel" Musa fixed her bed and carried Muri.
"You aren't dressed yet?" Stella gasped as she pushed the door wide open; she had Tootsie in her arms.
"There's plenty of time for that" Musa walked pass Stella and joined Tecna in the common room.

Tecna was doing some research on cats, she wanted to know more about the different breeds that were scattered around the dimension. Plus, she wanted to be a better pet owner.

"How'd lunch go?" Tecna chuckled as she saw Musa and Muri, Tickit was snuggled up on Tecna's lap.
"Great, I'd say Muri here is being well fed" Musa rolled her eyes as she placed Muri down on the floor, Flora got a bit mad when she saw dog tracks around the furniture.
"Honestly!" Stella stomped around the room. "You two should really change! It'll be faster to leave when all of us look dashing"
"All of us?" Tecna questioned her suspicious friend, she was eyeing on the small paper bag Stella had behind her back.
"Duh! You need to give Tickit some clothes!" Stella grinned and threw the bag to her two friends.

Musa and Tecna groaned another one of Stella's marvelous ideas.

Layla entered the common room all sweaty; Bubu was sleeping in her arms looking pretty worn out.

"And where have you been?" Stella eyed Layla as she walked from the door until the mini fridge.
Layla got some water out and laid Bubu on the couch, the poor little squirrel was out cold. "Jogging" she panted. "You know? Running?"
"I know what jogging is" Stella scoffed; even if she hated physical stuff she still had a clue on them. How could she avoid running, hiking, sprinting if she didn't know it?

Just then by Flora and Bloom's door two little feisty animals came running out, the door was slightly opened so they pretty much got out with no problem.

"Get back here!" Bloom ran after a, surprisingly, fast little penguin. She had a big red bow in her hand which would look lovely on him.
"Patch! You have to stay still!" Flora was reaching out for her cub that was already on top of the book shelf, she had a brush with her.

Muri started to laugh, classic humor.

Musa and Layla laughed as well and helped their tired friends, Bloom wanted Pingu to look cute so she wanted him to wear a bow while Flora just wanted to brush Patch's messed up fur.

"Come'er you" Musa grinned as she grabbed a hold of Pingu's leg.
"Uh, uh, uh" Layla snapped her fingers and summoned a morphix bubble around Patch, the little cub was trying to claw his way out.

Bloom and Flora took their pets and sat them on the glassed coffee table, now was their chance to make them look pretty.

"Who's a good boy" Bloom was baby talking as she tied the big bow on her annoyed penguin.
"I'm doing this because I love you, Patch" Flora struggled as she brushed the messy fur, Patch always moved when he slept so his fur gets tangled up.

RIVEN POV

If this was paradise then I never want to leave, Sky just looked ridiculous in that bow and Helia looked liked one of those English guys with straight unmovable hair.

"Looking good, Pingu" I grinned at Sky, he had this annoyed look. "I love what you did to your hair Patch, makes you look sophisticated" I smirked at Helia, he was still squirming around.
"Aw man" Brandon was placed down by Stella; he was wearing a pink tutu. Perfect for his name, maybe Stella has a matching tiara.
I laughed and buried myself on the ground, what's next? Timmy enjoys cat nip? "You look so pretty"
"Shut up, dude!" Brandon was trying to punch me with his rabbit paws.
"OHHH" I growled at him, one advantage with being pets is I'm the most dangerous one. Fat chance Helia will try anything with those claws. "I'm so scared"

Brandon hopped away to Stella; he knows he can't beat me.

Timmy was starting to wake up by the couch; he yawned and stretched which revealed his sharp baby teeth.

"I just had the most wonderful dream" Timmy jumped down and sat next to me, he was rubbing his eye.
"What? That it was raining Tuna?" I joked, out of all of us Timmy was really attached to his animal self.
"Actually, Salmon" he corrected, Timmy licked his paw and started to groom himself.
"Dude" I pushed him to the side, I didn't need to see that.
"What? My fur needs to be clean, I don't want Tecna to get infected with germs that get attached to me" Timmy extended his paw to me and smiled.
"What?" I raised my brow and snarled.
"Dog's have a cleaner tongue" Timmy said in a 'As a matter of fact' kind of statement.
"Get away from me!" I slapped his paw away and walked over to where Musa was, what the heck is wrong with Timmy?

Musa was sitting on the floor with Layla and they were trying to wake Nabu up, he was all on the whole athletic stuff but Nabu could never keep up with Layla. Even as a fast little squirrel.

"Bubu, honey, we need to wash you up" Layla shook the, heavily breathing, squirrel.

Now was my chance, I hopped on the couch and started to jump. It had this wave affect on the cushions, Nabu was slowly waking up as the shakes got more intense.

"Good job, Muri" Musa took me up and patted my head. "But next time, be more careful" she pointed over to Flora and whispered. "We wouldn't want Flora to see you on the furniture."

I nodded and looked at Nabu, he was glaring at me.

Layla carried Nabu away so they could take that bath, wait a minute, Layla was going to take a bath with Nabu.

"GOOD LUCK BRO!" I waved at Nabu, he as giving me a confused look.

Nabu looked back and saw that they were headed for the bathroom, at first looked pretty neutral but as soon as Stella yelled he got the shock of his life.

"You two better bathe fast!" Stella threw some clothes at Layla's direction; it was both Layla and Nabu's clothes. "Don't forget to clean his tail!"
"WHAT THE HELL!" Nabu yelled as they got in the bathroom.

MUSA POV

We were on our way to Red Fountain and the little pets were being restless, except for Muri. Pingu was trying to take his bow off but Bloom was grabbing his flippers, Tickit kept on moving around with his mouth open and Tecna was rummaging around her bag for cat food, Tootsie was rubbing the glitters that were placed on his eyes while Stella kept re applying some, Bubu was running around Layla trying to get away from the energy bar she was trying to feed him, and Patch was growling as Flora kept brushing any fur that tried to step out of line.

"You are such a good boy" I stroked Muri's head, he was really behaving pretty well.

I sat back and closed my eyes, my hand was still stroking Muri but I couldn't help but feel a bit empty. Miss Ferogonda said that the pets will keep us company until the boys get back but it isn't working at all, Muri reminds me of Riven all the time.

"And here I thought you'd be scared of me" I giggled as I looked at Muri, he had his tongue out. "Do you want me to tell you another story about Riven, boy?" I cooed, Muri loved listening to my stories about Riven. It was like he understood me.

Muri barked and panted, this is why I love Muri, and he's really easy to communicate with.

"Well, I already told you what type of guy Riven is. Remember?" I stuck my tongue out. "He's an air headed, jerky, rude, loveable, sweet, protective guy"

Muri nodded and waited for me to continue, he looked so cute with those purple and blue irises.

"Do you want to know why I love him?" I grinned, Muri began to jump and his tail was wagging in happiness. "Okay okay, stay down boy" I laughed, he was too excited. "Weeeell, Riven is.."

The bus stopped, we just arrived in Red Fountain. The girls were already fixing their things, while Muri whimpered like a disappointed child on his birthday, he sure loved attention.

"I'll tell you later" I patted his head, the sooner we get to their room the sooner we can leave.

We left the bus and there were a lot of students loitering around, probably freshmen's. Some guys were eyeing us and the little ones went wild, it was like the boys were a threat to us.

"Oh, my hero" Stella showed off Tootsie as he tried to growl, it was the sweetest thing.
Pingu used his keen eyes to somehow glare at the boys, Bloom just giggled. "Don't mess with this little one"

Bubu, Patch, and Tickit were just cuddling with the other girls; they couldn't care less about those blushing trainees. However, like the pup he is, Muri went ballistic.

"Easy, easy, they aren't doing anything" I tried to calm Muri down, he was growling at 3 guys.
"You can flirt later Musa! We have to get our stuff back!" Stella and the other girls were by the entrance.
"Shut up!" I yelled back as I grabbed Muri and dashed to a no boy zone, but who was I kidding? We're in Red Fountain, a school for boys.

There's more to the transformation than you think :) DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW
