"On three, we'll drink it together, okay?"

"Fine. No holding back?"

"No holding back!" he assured, "One, two, three!" we gulped down the water

"I guess that wasn't that bad" I grinned

"I told you!"

"Ha ha, shut up!" I nudged him

"So you just nudged me?"

"Yeah. So?"

"You know we're right next to a lake, right?"

"I don't like where you're going with this..."

"I can easily push you in"

"Dittos for you!" he asked for it! I grabbed his hand and threw him in, but his grip was to strong to break out of, I was going with him.

"Ah! Brandon!" I shrieked and splashed him

"Ha ha, you were asking for it!"

"Funny, I thought same thing about you!" well we were soaking wet and so were our clothes! My hair that I take forever to do, probably looks like a mess!

"Brandon, my hair! Does it look okay?"

"It looks great, Stel"

"Promise?"

"Promise." he said with confidence

"Fine, but I wouldn't listen to anyone, but you." I smiled and he did to. I fell in love with his chocolate eyes, when our eyes met.

"Ow, crap! Did we check for leaches?" I tried to humor that moment by laughing faintly, but Brandon flipped out.

"Oh freak, Stella! Are you okay?" but before I could answer him back he picked me up out of the water and set me down on the extremely healthy, green grass.

"I hate the outdoors!" I exclaimed in disgust, flicking leaches off my body, mostly my legs.

"Ha, sorry Stel!" he innocently smirked and rubbed the back of his neck

"Hey don't sweat it, I attract a lot of things!"

"Wow, cheesy much?"

"Look who's talking!" I flung my arms up in the air while he rolled his eyes

"Hey Stel, did you feel that?"

"Feel what-" but I was cut off by the sound of thunder. Crap! This day keeps getting better and better...

"Where can we go? If we don't take cover, you and I will freeze to death!" I couldn't argue, the lake water was warm, but not enough and we are talking about a forest with almost completely no sun.

"Gee, I hate it when you're right! I don't see-" I stopped myself to find rain pouring on my face. Well great. Just great. I was wearing a pink t-shirt, white booty shorts, and bright orange Converse, I'm in no condition for this. It's even worse, because we're already wet! Gosh, this sucks big time!

"Well, too late for attempting to keep ourselves dry!" he smiled widely. Gosh, I think his smile could be accused as a weapon. That bright smile can persuade you to do anything. It was perfect.

"Uh huh," I sounded freaking retarded, but his smile hypnotized me.

"Earth to Stella!"

"What! Oh, ha. Sorry!" then I realized, we're still standing in the rain like idiots, "Um Brandon, we're fail at this keeping dry thing."

"Oh well, we couldn't get anymore soaked than this!"

"Besides, I love the rain!" just like I love you...

Musa's P.O.V

Ugh, I hate rain! It is freezing!

It was pouring down while me and Riven searched for a place to stay. I began to feel butterflies in my stomach. We may have to spend the night in these freaky woods and I'm starving to death!

"Hey Musa, look over here!" Riven shouted, pointing to some rock formation that looks like an arch.

I breathed in relief, "Riven!" I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his cheek.

"Now I have a surprise for you," I told him in excitement, "look over there!" It was Flora and the rest of the gang, but Bloom and Sky. For suckish days, this one was pretty good. I got my life dream. Riven!

"My transponer seems to be busted!" Timmy exclaimed scratching the top of his head

"Oh no! Flora, try the walkie-talkie!" Tecna demanded

"Okay," she flipped a nozzle and the device flipped on, "Ms. Griffin! Come in! Are you there?"

"I'm here, Flora. Have you found anyone yet?" she asked

"Sadly, no and it's raining horribly! We need to know what time it is though, do you have it on ya?"

"It's only 4:30, but time's running out! At 7:00, start heading back. Even though there are still police searching, they'll retrieve at 9:00 and try again tomorrow."

"Yes ma'am, thank you. Bye..." Flora leaned her head down and sighed. "This is awful. What if we don't find them tonight?"

"Flora, don't think of that! You're the it's positive person I know! Don't ever think negative!" out of no where Helia grabbed Flora and kissed her passionately. Tecna and I admired how adorable it was.

They were a good amount of distance away from me and Riven, so I guess they haven't noticed us, yet. When Flora broke the kiss, she blushed the brightest color of pink I have ever seen! Riven whistled after the kiss to embarrass the two, and that's when they noticed us!

"Riven!" I scolded, but when Flora saw my face, she got overwhelmed.

"Musa! Musa! Musa! I was so worried!" she screamed her head off in relief and tightly hugged me, leaving my face purple afterwards. Hugs went around and I had to hug Riven one more time. Spending hours with him was irritating, but probably the best few hours I've ever had in my life! When I hugged him, it wasn't just a hug, it was a jump into his arms. My feet slung around his stomach and his hands on my waist. I pecked him on the lips one last time. Today we started off as friends and ended off a best friends.

Breaking my thoughts, "Where's Stella and Brandon?" Tecna asked holding onto Timmy's hand

"Riven would you like to explain?" I glared at him with my hands on my waist, after leaping out of his grip.

"No, no, I insist do it. She is your best friend!"

"Either way, I still blame you! Okay, Flora don't freak, but we have no idea. See we heard he cops and Brandon randomly tugged Stella to the left, but Riven had to follow his own directions and run right!"

"But because I went right, they found us!" he gave me an evil smirk. By this time, the rain had stopped. Right on cue to!

"I'm not going to flip, but Ms. Griffin said we had to be back by 7:00 and the cops will retrieve at 9:00. I just hope we'll have luck!" I don't have a good feeling about this, I'm not so sure if we'll be lucky this time... sorry, Stel. Gr, butterflies are back!

"Quick question!" said Aisha, "You didn't eat the berries or plants did you? Or did you drink the lake water?"

"No, why?" I replied

"It's poisonous! I'm so glad you're okay!" Tecna finished her statement

Don't worry Stel, we're coming. I don't care what Griffin says, I can't leave my best friend out here to die. Help is on the way.

Stella's P.O.V

Well my curls are ruined and I'm freezing. Right now Brandon is looking for some firewood, I insisted to help, but he didn't allow it. Gosh, why is he so stubborn? Something could happen to him! I might as well help out. I grabbed some berries and different plants, dropped them on a slab of wood, and cut them up with a stick. The sun started to set, making every inch of the forest darker than it already was.

I think I've been hanging out with Musa for to long, because I started to hum as I took a bowl-like rock from the lake and filled with water.

"When Brandon gets back I'll warm the water up and we can finally eat!" I told myself and began to hum the same tune I was before. My work didn't feel complete, so I decided to look for wood, too. Why the crap does it have to be so freaking dark! In the area we were "camping in" had the most sunlight shining through the leaves, that's the reason why the water was pretty warm.

"Stella?" I heard Brandon's voice, but I didn't answer. There was a cave right in front of my face. Oh crap. Oh crap. Oh crap! Slowly I backed up, hopefully bears did not live in there! I pivoted around and ran as fast as I could, lugging around the few sticks and tiny limbs I picked up.

"Hey Stel, what's wrong? See a ghost?"

"No! I saw a cave that probably is the home to freakish bears that can scratch the precious skin off your face!"

"Stel, calm down! They're just bears and besides, I'd never let them get ahold of my 'precious' face!"

"Oh I was just kidding about your face being precious, we all know mine wins! But they're not just bears, they can kill us and I've been living life to the fullest and I still have more trouble to get into!"

"Yes I'm happy to know you just dissed my face, but it'll be fine. Nothing will happen and if something does, I'll allow them to take my face first"

"Aw, really? That's one of the weirdest and sweetest things you've ever said!"

"I've got that kind of charm," he winked

"Brandon, do you think Musa and Riven are okay? I mean, they've been gone for a while and they just disappeared"

"Well maybe the cops got them and took them back to the school or-"

"Brandon, hearing that the cops kidnapped them does not make me feel any better!"

"Well I think they'd rather be there than here"

"Yeah, that's true. I wonder what time is it?"

"Dunno, it's probably 6:00 or 7:00"

"Um, do you know how to fish?"

"No idea!"

"Well why don't we get this fire started?"

"Alright," we started to build the fire. I stacked the sticks up on each other and Brandon rubbed two strong branches pieces together and sparks began to fly, literally.

"That's so cool!" I cheered as Brandon showed me a fire routine him and Sky learned for some kind of tradition. He spun the sticks round and round and threw them into the sky, which frightened me the first time he did it, but he caught it!

"How'd you learn to do that!" I clapped, very impressed

"Just did, it was pretty easy but never mind that," he said taking his torches and lighting up our fire, "I showed you mine now you show me yours"

"I kinda don't want to..."

"Come on Stel, we had a deal!"

"Fine, but I don't do this because my best friend can own me!"

"Okay, go!"

"And this stays between us, you hear me?"

"Yes ma'am" I told Brandon if he shows me his hidden talent, I'll show him mine. I cleared my throat and began to sing on of Musa's originals, Heart of Stone. Again, I'm okay, but Musa is perfect!

"I had enough of rainy days, so say you're sorry, it's too late.

My life has just begun I'll be okay.

That's why I'm walking out the door, how you love my heart of stone.

Now I'm gonna stop singing for you, okay?" I sung that last part in tune to him, just for my amusement!

"Wow. How come I didn't know you could sing?"

"Because I don't sing. "

"You should"

"Nah, Musa's better and it's her dream, I'd rather her be the musical person of the group"

"I guess whatever makes you happy, Stel, but you should try it sometime" I didn't reply back. I wish I could, but I should stick to shopping, I have a feeling Musa wouldn't be very happy, though she doesn't know I can. Crap, if I didn't love Brandon so much I'd explode on him!

I sighed and shivered a little. Again, I hate the outdoors! We sat in front of the fire in awkward silence.

"Stella?"

"Yeah?"

"You don't have have a date for the dance Friday do you?"

My heart skipped a beat,"No!"

"Would you like to go with one of my friends?" what in the world did he just ask me?

"What? No! Why don't you understand! Gah, Brandon!" I threw my arms in the air, "Are you freaking blind? How could you ask me that kind of question to my face? I love you!" my hands shot over my lips and my eyes widened. Oh my gosh, I just said that. I can't believe those words just came out of my mouth right in front of him.

He smiled his breathtaking smile, but it was huge. Bigger than usual.

"You mean it?" he asked, pushing himself off the ground

"I-I um. Ha, nice weather, huh?"

A/N Sorry about the little cliff hanger, but I can't help it. c: Anyways, hope you liked it! Why in the freaking world would Brandon ask such a stupid question? And aw, Flora and Helia's first kiss, along with Musa and Riven's! Tell me how you liked the last question Stella asked Brandon! xD Well, hope you liked it and I'll update soon!
