This chapter is for the requests to bring Riven back. Please review and enjoy!

Riven chuckled as Musa began to enthusiastically describe her day.

"And then, Bloom came out of nowhere and she started cheering me on, but then Aisha…" Musa said, breathlessly trying to finish her story. "and that's my day."

Riven laughed as Musa huffed and tried to regain her breath. She sighed and rested her head on Riven's lap, seemingly dozing off. Riven stroked her hair gently, and he sighed. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and Musa disappeared.

"Musa!" Riven yelled, desperately calling for his girlfriend. An evil laugh shook him, the room began to swim, and he could hear so many voices in his head.

"You left her!"

"You never loved her!"

"You don't deserve her!"

"You're nothing but a piece of trash!"

Riven grasped his head and everything seemed to go black.

"RIVEN!" screamed a voice.

"Ah!" Riven shot up from bed gasping, and looked around. "Where- Oh yeah, I'm in the woods of the Magix dimension." Riven sighed and rubbed his head. He looked down to see his bare chest soaked with sweat and he grimaced. He glanced at his phone just in time to see a small streak of glimmering sunshine coming through the tent window.

"5:24." Riven sighed. He threw the covers off of him, grabbed a towel and clothes and jogged to the nearby lake. Inching into the cold water, Riven splashed some onto his face to wake himself up.

"Ugh, it was all a dream…" Riven recalled his nightmare. He rubbed his eyes and reached for his phone. He needed to call Sky.

"What? Riven, what are you calling me for? And at 5:36 in the morning?" Sky mumbled. Riven sighed.

"Look, I don't know, I just need some advice." Riven groaned.

Sky plopped himself in the dorm sofa. "Ok. So what's up?" Riven got out of the lake and put on some clothes.

"Well, I been having dreams ever since I left two weeks ago. And they're always about Musa. I can't get her out of my mind." Riven said.

Sky nodded over the line, twiddling with Helia's fern. "It's obvious the universe is telling you to come back because you miss her. Like crazy."

Riven scoffed. "Yeah, universe. But the missing Musa part is kind of true."

Sky sighed. "Do you have any idea what's happening to Musa while you're gone?" Sky asked.

He could tell RIven had a worried look on his face and gripping something tightly, trying desperately not to crush it. (sometimes someone)

"She's been crying. Her heart out, I've been told. She does come out but it's usually only for meals and needed classes. And even there she seems like a shell of her former self."

Riven shook his head. "But she said it was okay, are you deaf or something?"

"That was a mask, Riven. She also like drama too so did you ever think she could be a good actress?"

Riven rubbed his temples. "I can't stay here knowing Musa's in pain. None of you guys can protect her, obviously, but what do I do? She said that we were never meant to be."

Sky slapped his forehead. "That was acting too. She still loves you and you obviously love her too."

Riven began to pack up his tent. "You're right. Not most of the time, but right now you're right. See you in a few hours." He hung up and packed the rest of his stuff up.

Over the line, Sky hung up and sighed. No matter where he was or what he was doing Riven never lost his cockiness.

Riven trekked back the way he had came over the course of 14 days, looking up to see the glaring sun still reaching up into the pinkish sky. Small stars seemed to twinkle before fading into the brink of dawn. At 8:19, Riven arrived at Red Fountain campus and was greeted by some junior specialists he happened to know. Riven mumbled out greetings before reaching the Specialists' dorm. He had only talked to Sky since he had left. Before they had talked, man to man (or Specialist to Specialist whatever you wanna call 'em) and he was nervous about seeing the guys.

"Tsk. What am I supposed to be worried about? It's not like they'll jump me and cry with joy or something." Riven smirked.

He slammed the door open to see Helia with his fern, Brandon lifting weights, Timmy at the computer, and Sky in the other room. Striding carelessly past the gaping boys, he strode into Sky's room and flopped on the bed.

"Hey." Riven greeted Sky while flipping through a random magazine.

Sky stared at him and sighed. He would only let his pride down a bit for Musa, huh? Sky turned and pretended to salute.

"Hello sir, reporting for duty, sir, yes, sir." Sky grinned.

"Haha, very funny." Riven joked, throwing a pillow at the laughing Specialist.

Sky stopped and said,"So have you seen her yet? After all you are coming back."

Riven shrugged. "I haven't, I'm just not really sure how to approach her."

"Dude, approach? She's your girlfriend, not an animal."

Riven groaned. "Yeah, just shut up. I'm going."

Sky sighed. Riven grabbed his hover bike and zoomed off towards Alfea, hoping to see a certain navy haired fairy. Parking his bike next to the Alfea gate, he ran in and slammed the door open of the Winx girls' dorm. Flora was with her hibiscus, Stella was in her boutique, Bloom was playing with Kiko, Tecna was at her computer, Aisha was running on a treadmill, and Musa was nowhere to be found.

Panting, RIven managed to speak, "Where..is Musa?"

The girls gaped at him. Riven sighed.

"I'm coming back because I miss her, okay? Now tell me where she is." He mumbled.

Stella came out of her boutique squealing. "RIVEN MISSES MUSA?!"

Riven slapped a hand over her mouth. "If you want to keep your mouth I suggest you keep it shut."

Stella nodded and pointed to the balcony. He noticed a pair of headphones and he walked outside. He smiled as he saw Musa wearing headphones and grinning softly. He took a deep breath and murmured,"Musa."

Musa stiffened and turned slowly, meeting Riven's gaze. Tears began to spill as she jumped into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. "I missed you so much.. It hurt so much when you said you wanted to leave…"

Riven stroked her hair gently. 'Hey, I came back because I missed- Uh, because the Specialists really need me, ahem, you know…"

Musa chuckled. "So why did you really come back? I know you said you missed me but that much?"

Riven sighed. "Well, remember when you said that you'd always be with me wherever I go? Well, you were. In my dreams everyday."

Musa chuckled and sighed. " I really missed you, promise me you won't leave me again…"

Riven laughed and said, "I'll always be with you, wherever you go."
