Author's notes: Missed me;)...

Sorry it took me awhile to get this one posted but I do hope you enjoy it!

Step 3: Remind him not to play with fire, unless you're the freaking dragon fire fairy.

Riven was fed up already. His friends had to explain to him the finds arts of manners. Once that happen, all the got was brooding Riven who beaten a never ending comedic Brandon who added endless suggests on what Riven could add to his new book on how to offend women. To his dismay Riven didn't any suggests instead decided to beat the Specialist to a pulp every time something slip out of his mouth.

So to sum up, they got nowhere.

Timmy sighed this wasn't how he planned to help Riven. He just wanted to be a good friend and help him but he was just being so damned stubborn, it was irritating, and annoying. Why does Riven need to act like this? Why does he always have to play the bad guy? Why couldn't he see that people actually care about him? Why does he push them away?

They wondered to a park following Riven. Riven was trailing in front knowing that his friends were behind him but deciding not to join behind. His friends were irritating him, why couldn't they see he doesn't want help, doesn't need help! Doesn't need Musa! And he doesn't need them!

He was hoping to avoid them all the way back to school then find some way to track them off his trail so he could be avoided.

He was going to go with that plan till Timmy started jogging in front of him trying to block his path. Riven tried to move past him but Timmy knew he would do that following to the same position. Riven decided to move fast, though Timmy wasn't having that. He moved just as fast, making the others to stop and watch them. They danced like that for the fast minuets till Timmy came up with a plan. Immediately he jumped on top of Riven tackling him to the ground. The move was surprising, something un-Timmy like that it took a while for Riven to register what he was trying to do. When it register Riven took no hesitation in wrestling him back, they rolled across the dirt. Riven growled already planning to punch the nerd off him. Timmy knew that so when they rolled for Timmy to be on top he straddled Riven pushing his hands on top locking his legs.

Riven couldn't believe that he got pinned by Timmy. This was not his day at all, he groaned, "get the hell off me Timmy!" Riven growled.

"No!" Timmy shouted he was going to get through to his friend whether it was the hard way or not.

Riven growled again, "oh come on Timmy this looks gay!"

Timmy growled back, "so you already embarrassed yourself a enough today!"

Riven tried to get him off but the nerd had his hold on him pretty tight, that Riven gave up with a loud growl. "Why are you doing this to me?"

That made Timmy's grip loosen, "we're just trying to help." He said softly, Riven stop strangling looking Timmy straight in his eyes. Silently Timmy got off him, handing his hand out to help Riven up. But Riven just stared at it for a while then pushed it away pushing himself off the ground. "I don't need your help." Riven said quietly walking away. "I'm going home."

Timmy frown again blocking Riven's way again, "not again Timmy." Riven warned,

"Why?" Timmy demanded,

"Because"-

"No! I mean why do you keep pushing us away Riven?"

That made Riven froze for a while staring into Timmy's serious eyes. They stared at each other for what seemed like hours till Riven shook his head trying to walk away when the rest of the guys block his way. "Just answer the question Riven." Sky demanded,

Riven growled, "and why should I?"

"Because if you do we might just let you go."

Riven sighed closing his eyes. His friends were trying to be as stubborn as he was. He wouldn't admit out loud but he does care about them, and he knows just how much they care about him. He doesn't understand why they would? After all he's been a jerk to them all this time, but they still kept to his side even after the Darcy's situation when he got her spell over him. They were there, Lord only knows why. So as he stared at his friends, he decided he owe them an enough for an explanation.

"Have you guys ever noticed how I screw everything up?" He said softly,

That caught the guys off guard, "What do you mean?" Helia asked

"I mean everything I do always ends up being ruined."

"What?"

He sighed, "oh come on guys don't act like that."

"We really don't know what you mean Riven." Brandon said,

"Well…the witches"-

"That wasn't you're fault." Sky said, "the witches cast a spell on you."

"Well the mission to Shadow Haunt. If I was a little better at my skills I could have gone."

"Oh trust me." Brandon sighed, "you so didn't want to go or you would have been the one Amentia wanted to have a bust head of."

"Or when I crashed the ship and lost the orger."

"Ok". Timmy admitted, "that was kind of your fault but it was also our fault too we should have been more careful."

"My…parents"…

They stared silently for a while till Helia walked closer to him slowly, staring Riven straight into his sad eyes. "That's not your fault." He said softly, "don't you ever think that it was."

Riven stared into his Helia's eyes reassuringly then stared at all his friends, slowly he started to smile, letting a thank you to all his friends. They smiled back at him, feeling pleased that they got Riven to open up. This was part of the reason why they liked Riven, once you got to know him he wasn't a bad guy as he seems. He was actually more caring then he appeared to be.

They lasted like that for a while till Riven's smile fell. "And that's why I can't date Musa. Because well…she's a princess"-

"So is Stella and I'm with her!" Brandon cheered,

"But-you're not me. Everything I touch ends up being ruin." He sighed looking away from his friends, Timmy walked up putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Not everything." He said, "you still have us."

That caused a small smile to spread on his lips as he looked at them, Timmy smiled. "And I know for a fact that Musa has feelings for you, if you just give her a chance. You might be surprised on how great it feels on having a girlfriend."

Riven smirked, "would I now?"

"Damn right you would. Either that or write you book!"

"Shut up Brandon!"

Sorry it took me awhile, I've been busy. And also I need to be inspired before I write, and I know that sounds chessy but I do. And surprisingly I usually get inspired by watching the show. So while I was watching the show I was sitting there going...WTF AM I WATCHING!

Okay so this last few things will be a rant so if you don't want to read it fill free to skip it and review:)

But anyway what is this!

First of all why can't the Trix just try to steal the world by themselves again. I mean by now you would figure out that teaming up with some guy your gonna lose. And what's with Icy's taste in men, she usually talks to Triannus when he's a ugly monster. Does that turn her on something? Because she gets all lovey dovey with him when he's disgusting. EW! And how did this Crystal chick know Helia? I mean she's princess and from what I learned Helia not a prince or some royalty crap. How the hell does he know her! And Sky's memory lost...really...they couldn't come up with something else. How come Layla was not invited to that party they were throwing for them in the beginning with mermaids? Wouldn't she go sense she's family? But the thing that's been bothering me the most and for some reason it does...

Sky's hair.

I know it's dumb but I can't even look at it now. I was so used to his golden locks that I kind of miss it. And I'm not a Sky hater but I bet when they producers decided to change Sky's hair. They were sitting around thinking this...oh he looks like a girl let's give him a hair cut that will make him look like a douche that way people will know he's a guy. I'm sorry to all Sky fans but I have to get this out.

So I'm just disappointed, now I'm only deciding to watch the show only for Musa and Riven parts in it because I love them so much. So again I hope you like my story and please exuse my rant...I had to get it out.
