Chapter 3: Upset but Happy
"Why did she do it? Doesn't she know how much Riven loves her?" Brandon asked in disbelief and his voice had a tinge of anger to it
All the boys had their mouths open because of the shocking news that Stella had told them
"This is Musa we're talking about!" Nabu laughed but then got glared at by Riven who looked hurt
'Why would she do this to me?' Riven thought
"Why don't you guys meet her" Stella laughed awkwardly and lead the group of boys inside the palace and took them up to Musa's room
"I think this one's better!" Bloom protested
"Bloom, have you gone mad? Musa will not suit that hairstyle!" exclaimed Layla
"What do you think Flora?" Tecna asked sighing as she flicked through the hair styling magazine
Musa moaned loudly and Flora experimented with different styles on Musa's hair
"I don't mind girls; as long as Musa likes it I'm happy!" Flora exclaimed and smiled at Musa in the mirror
Musa sighed and continued to listen to Layla and Bloom argue, Tecna had backed away from the fight ages ago because she decided they should choose the hair style because she picked the dress, so it was only fair that she didn't have her say. Flora wasn't the arguing type so she didn't say anything and just tried different styles from the magazine on Musa's hair
"Layla, just say I'm right, because you know I am!" Bloom said annoyed
"I'm not going to do that! Because you're not!" Layla shouted angrily and glared at Bloom
"Whoa, what is going on here?" Sky asked as the boys and Stella walked in
"Huh?" Musa said confused and looked over and was shocked that all the boys were standing in her room
She looked at all of them and their expressions, but the one that caught her attention was Riven's. He didn't look confused like all the others did; he looked hurt, angry and shocked
Musa quickly turned away and got up and walked towards her friends
"Stella, you know that no boys are allowed in Musa's room!" Tecna exclaimed and threw the magazine on the floor in frustration
"Sorry girls. But they were coming here anyway; I just speeded up the process" Stella admitted and then looked at the girls who were all narrowing their eyes at her suspiciously
The guys looked around the room and felt the tension, all except Riven who kept starring at Musa and tried to answer a few questions in his mind
Musa stopped glaring at Stella and her eyes wandered over and met Riven's gaze
They stared blankly at each other for a few seconds and then Riven looked away and left Musa feeling guilty
'Does he know..?' Musa thought and looked at Riven again only to find him furrowing his eye-brows angrily
"Ok, this is just ridiculous!" Flora said and stopped eyeing Stella and the boys
"I agree" Layla said and sighed
"So...what have we missed?" asked Timmy changing the subject
"Oh, nothing much, just me and the girls having a little fight!" Stella mumbled angrily and then looked down at the floor
"What?" asked Brandon surprised, Stella looked up at him and gave him a small smile meaning she didn't want to say anything more about the matter
"This is getting annoying, can we get to the point!" asked Helia frustrated
"What point, sweetie?" Flora asked and stopped playing around with Musa's hair
"Who's Musa getting married to?" Sky asked quickly
Everyone turned to face Musa and Musa smiled nervously and starred at all of them
"Well?" asked Riven challenging her
"Umm...he's a prince from my neighbouring planet, Harmonica" Musa said and then laughed awkwardly
Musa then glanced at all her girl friends and looked for support and the girls understood
"Yeah, we're so happy for her!" Bloom said trying not to look nervous
Sweat was beaded on Layla's forehead and she looked tense, "Yeah..."
"Layla, are you ok? You look like you have a temperature" Nabu pointed out and all at once all eyes turned to Layla and everyone had a concerned look on their faces
Musa looked worried and was desperate that her cover wasn't blown
Layla laughed awkwardly, "Well, I haven't been feeling too well lately..." she lied
"Oh sweetie, you could have told me; I'll give you some of my herbal tea and it'll cure you in a jiffy jiff!" Flora exclaimed
At a time like this no-one groaned at Flora innocence because she had just made the lie believable and Musa thanked her with a giant smile
Flora was left confused because she thought that Layla was actually sick
Riven clenched his fists up tightly and sighed and let all his anger out
There was then an awkward silence in the room, occasionally some of the girls laughed awkwardly and they just shifted from side to side feeling uncomfortable
Musa looked over at Riven slowly, he seemed to look normal and almost looked bored because he was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, but she knew that he had hundreds of questions swimming in his mind and only she knew the answers
"You guys must be hungry, right?" Musa asked breaking the long silence
"Yeah totally!" Stella said and got up from her chair eager to get out of the mess
"Starving!" Tecna said and headed towards the door
Everyone agreed and headed out and literally ran down the hallway to the garden where they could get some fresh air
So that left Riven and Musa in the room alone
Musa looked at Riven who hadn't moved an inch from his current spot and you couldn't say that he heard what she'd said because he didn't show any signs of life, he was as still as a statue
Musa sighed deeply and then starred into the mirror of her dressing table and frowned
"This is good..." Bloom said in pleasure as she stuffed herself with the soft fluffy cake she was eating
All the girls were actually hungry so they had gone to the dining room to eat; meanwhile the boys had headed towards the garden to get some air.
"Bloom, I never knew you could be such a pig!" laughed Layla jokily
"Shut up!" Bloom said through her mouthful
"Bloom darling, don't speak with your mouth full" Stella said and then gave Bloom a disgusted look
No-one said anything after Stella spoke, Bloom dropped her fork on the table and the rest of the girls turned to the blonde princess and starred at her
Stella's eyes were closed and she was sipping a cup of tea, but she could feel their stare burning into her face
"What?" she said and opened her eyes in a flash
The girls stopped looking at her and started looking around the room
Stella rolled her eyes and carried on sipping her tea, she knew they were suspicious of her and she knew that none of the girls would trust her again, not the she cared though
Everyone shook their heads at Stella as she innocently drank her tea
Musa sighed loudly and then looked over at Riven, who had been standing still for the past half an hour, she couldn't take it anymore
"Riven, do you plan to stand there for eternity?" asked Musa sarcastically
He still didn't move from his spot and didn't open his eyes but he raised his eye-brow at her
Musa growled angrily, "For god's sake, stop standing there, it's annoying me! Get out of my room!" Musa shouted
Riven opened his eyes slowly and then look at Musa who was fuming and then he carefully got off the wall and walked towards her, Musa furrowed her eye-brows in confusion
Riven came up to her and grabbed her head and turned it towards the mirror and started fiddling with her thick dark blue hair
Musa starred at him in the mirror, he was fully engaged with what he was doing and he didn't notice she was looking at him
"There, this style suits you the best" Riven said finally and then Musa looked at her hair, her jaw dropped slightly as she admired her hairstyle that Riven had created for her
She stood up, turned around and faced him. Riven's expression was blank and un-caring
Musa starred at him expecting an answer or something out of his mouth, an insult would have been fine; she just wanted him to say something to her about this whole situation
After about two minutes of waiting impatiently he finally spoke, "Congratulations, I'm very happy for you" there was barely any emotion in his voice, if there was one it was jealously
Musa scoffed, "No you're not, don't pretend"
"No, I really am, I want you to be happy for the rest of your life. And if this is your decision you must have thought about it carefully" he said equally flatly
"Riven if you want to say something to me...just spit it out already!" Musa spat starting to get irritated
"I don't want to say anything; I just want you to live happily ever after..." Riven whispered and then moved forward and leaned over and kissed her on her forehead softly
Musa's rectangular dressing table stool was in the middle of them otherwise Musa would have grabbed his arm before he could exit the room
Riven softly shut the bedroom door and walked slowly to meet his friends
Musa plonked herself down on the stool and starred at herself in the mirror and bit back tears that were about to fall
