Chapter 14;

Musa woke up to a faint knock on her bedroom door. She rubbed her eyes and got up, making her way towards the door. She slowly flung it open to find Brandon and Sky standing at her door with goofy grins on their faces.

"What are you guys doing here? It is eight freaking o'clock in the damn morning." Musa groaned, closing the door behind her. It was stopped when Sky pushed his way through the door with Brandon trailing behind him.

"Actually it is eight-thirty." Brandon stuck his tongue out before he continued on. "Get ready, we all are going to a water park together."

Musa raised her eyebrows, "All?"

"Yeah, me, you, Brandon, Stella, Bloom, Layla, Techna, Timmy, Helia, Nabu, Flora, and of course Riven." Brandon winked at Musa, getting a small blush to creep upon her face.

Musa groaned, "I think I'll stay here and sleep instead." The girl burried her face into her pillows and closed her eyes until Brandon jumped on her, tickeling her sides until she was gasping for breath.

"Bull shit. That isn't fair." Musa glared at him and Sky.

Sky placed his hands up in the air for his defense and her scowl was directed in Brandon's direction. He grinned like a little kid, sticking his tongue out to retaliate. "Get up, be ready in a half hour, and we are going."

"Fine. Get. Out." Musa pointed towards the door and ushered the two boys out in a frenzy.

"It's hot." Musa groaned, fanning herself in the car because Riven's air conditioning suddenly decided to stop working as she was sitting in the front seat with Sky, Brandon, and Bloom in the backseat.

Riven ignored her comment and turned off onto the exit where the water park was located. He kept his eyes on the wheel but he would casually sneak peaks at Musa through the corner of his eyes.

"Are we there yet?" Musa whined, complaining a little more to get on the guy's nerves.

"Do we look like we are here yet?" Brandon chorused, waking Bloom up from her sleep.

"What kind of music is this Riven?" Musa threw her arms into the air, signaling her complaint.

Riven turned at her and glared at her, "ACDC. A living legend."

Musa grinned, "Huh how come I have never heard of it? Well it sucks."

"Does not. Don't ever say that again."

"It sucks." Musa laughed, poking Riven in his sides. It wasn't a normal day if she wasn't poking fun at him. Even if things were incredibly awkward between them, they were still bestfriends regardless of what had happened before hand.

"Musa, i'm warning you." Riven glared at the petite girl as she reached her hand over towards the radio. Quickly she changed the radio station, pulling her hand away, laughing at Riven's facial expression.

"Til the day I die, I spill my heart for you." Musa sang to Story of the year. Riven just let her sing to the song, instead of changing it back so she could complain some more.

"Look we are finally here." Bloom squealed, trying to ignore the dull feeling in the pit of her stomach. The last time she had been to Six Flags, she had went with Andy and his family. She wondered if they had hated her and never wanted to see her face again. If that was the case, she figured she might as well emotionally die. Did they enjoy Stella? Did they like Stella better?

"It's about time, with granny's driving over here, I'm surprised it didn't take us another hour." Musa smirked, twisting the volume knob back and forth. Riven swore he felt his eye twitch about Musa's annoyances today. Normally he would just shrug it off, but ever since the beach with Musa, he was more irritable ever towards her. He felt bad for being this way, but he couldn't afford to let his guard down, not once, but twice.

Bloom strechted out her arms and was anxious to get out of the car as they pulled into the driveway. She pushed Sky out of the car, and jumped out herself. She was ready to have a fun, Stella/Andy drama free day.

"Now Musa, don't have a panic attack this year." Riven smirked, reflecting upon a few summers ago.

Musa rolled her eyes at him, crossing her arms over her chest. "I don't know what you are even talking about." She lied.

Riven raised his unplucked eyebrows, throwing her a sassy smirk. "Riven, we are up really really high. Can we go. Riven please. Riven don't make me go up there. Riven help me. Stop it Riven."

Brandon and Sky laughed along to Riven's impression. Before long, Musa walked over in Riven's dirrection and kicked him in the shin, letting him squeal in pain. He grasped it, dropping all of his bags onto the ground.

"Ooops." Musa sweetly smiled and tugged her stuff towards the ticket enterance. Two can play his game.

Stella linked arms with her friends Flora, Techna, and Layla. Today was the day they all were going to forget everything and have some fun with the water. It was only time before everyone split up into groups, just like they always did. Nothing was no different, except this time, Bloom and she could not be together. Things just did not cooperate that way.

"I love your bathing suit." Techna noted on Musa's swimsuit as soon as they met up underneath the waterfountain. The green and blue bathing suits, with tiny incriptions of metalic anchors and hearts casted from the sun, gathering everyone's attention.

The brunette smiled, chomping on a winter-mint piece of bubble gum, "Thanks."

"So who wants to go where?" Riven appeared next to Musa, snaking his arm around her with his beach bag in the other. Located on the other side of the water park, was a beach.

Musa rolled her eyes, "Who died and made you captian?"

He playfully retaliated by sticking his tongue out at started to tickle her sides.

"I say lets split up, you know how we always do?" Brandon tossed Musa a wink and grinned, motioning for the two to be together. He had a thing for her, and she was really starting to grow on him. He felt bad for having those feelings; afterall, his bestfriend was in love with the girl he was quickly falling for her.

Stella giggled, placing her palm upon Brandon's shoulder, fanning herself away from the sun. "Calm down Romeo, let us get situated before you start swooning over Musa over here."

Riven shot Brandon a look, but grinned after he started pulling Musa away into the waterpark. It was their thing and every year they went off in their own dirrection, sharing laughs and eating dipin' dots. Frequently, their friends simultaneously started scattering away. Flora and Helia went to ride the water rollercoasters, Bloom and Sky drifted away rather quickly towards the food court, Layla and Nabu decided on touring the place, visiting each gift shop, and Timmy and Techna did whatever they planned on doing.

"I guess it's just you and me huh?" Brandon grinned, tugging on Stella's hand for some fun. Maybe he didn't get the girl that he wanted to go with him, but Stella was a fun, quirky blond, what more could you ask for?

...

Musa eyed Riven as they were standing in line for tubing.

"What?" He laughed, covering up his toned stomach in a shy manner.

She raised her eyebrows, "You know, I think you should take some steroids. It would do those arms and that stomach of yours some good."

He scoffed, dramatically sounding appauled, "Why?"

She blinked a few times, staring into the sun before turning her head to face him again. "Well you know Ronnie from Jersey Shore? Well I really don't like the show, but he is very good looking and I think it would be beneficial for my eyes and for you to start looking like that. I mean afterall, what could it hurt?"

His mouth dropped as he dropped his bag onto the ground. "Musa Pennington, that is it, you are going to get it."

She grinned and ran around in like, avoiding him before he could tickle and pick on her. "For some reason, you always come back, even though you know it isn't a wise idea." Riven said carefully. They both knew there was a deeper meaning then what he mentioned.

...

"Food." Brandon bit into his sandwhich, letting the mustard fall carelessly onto the wrapper. He was practically in heaven at this moment. After a whole day of swimming and running around an amusement park, chasing a little blond in a bikini was well worth the work up of an appetite.

Helia brushed the sand off of his swimtrunks and sat on his beach towel. "Brandon, enjoying his food? Who could have possibly guessed." A chaos of laughter abrupted. It was nice eating with everyone after the whole party that stirred up enough drama for a years worth of time.

"Hey I am just glad we are all finally together." Musa grinned, draping her arms over Stella's and Bloom's shoulders before she reached into the cooler to grab two Mountain dews, one for her and the other for Riven.

"Yeah just peachy." Bloom muttered and recieved a caring pinch in the leg from Sky. He shot her the look, we-aren't-biting-each-others-heads-off-yet-so-stop. She knew it was a nice gesture, but she was dying to tell Stella what was really on her mind. By the looks of Stella as she nibbled on her food, she was holding it all in as well.

Layla leaned onto Nabu for support. Her body was absolutely exhausted from the heavy exertion of the tidal waves. "We went boaring and jetskiing, what all did you guys do?" She eyed everyone carefully.

Timmy was the first to speak up. He had enjoyed his day with Techna, it was more then he could take in though. "Instead of swimming for most of the day, we got a personal interview with the technological specialist of this place and I got a real live close up of the next visual, computer ride they are inventing. Techna and I experienced the chance of a lifetime, all thanks to our knowledge in physics."

"Oh-kay, that sounds nerdy. Next." Layla tossed her plate onto the ground and let out a loud belch before laughing.

Sky took the oppurtunity to talk, grasping the attention from Layla's sudden nerd comment towards Timmy and Techna's hobbies. "We didn't do anything to major, just went and had some fun on the rides. Not literally." Sky commented on the looks on Riven's and Brandon's joking faces.

"He bought me a stuffed manatee." Bloom commented, remembering how happy she was to have a guy buy her a stuffed animal. It had been a long time since somebody had boughten her one.

"That is cute." Stella commented and Brandon took the oppurtunity to talk before a cat fight broke out. "We had some fun, kinky, hot tanning fun. Didn't we snookums?"

Musa giggled into her palms, "Names for each other already? That is too cute."

Stella scoffed, pushing herself away from Brandon's grip. "Kinky? Ewe." She laughed in the process of seeing Brandon's rejected facial features.

"You got Rejected. Re-Je-Ct-Ed. Rejected." Flora chorused the little jingle from the old show Zoey 101.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Leave it to Flora to always lighten the mood amongst everyone.

Brandon playfully pouted and Stella grinned, throwing her head back, shooting him a soft, flirtacious smile.

"We laid on the beach all day and watched the clouds and had fun instead of running around here like crazy idiots." Flora turned her head towards Musa and Riven, getting them to blush to each other. "Oh and we experienced this girl who stepped on a jellyfish and her boyfriend peed on her foot. It was an interesting site the least. Trust me."

"Sounds eventful." Nabu noted, taking a swig of Dr. Pib.

"We all have had good days, I think this is what we all needed." Riven spoke up, swaying his head back and forth. He was ready for the party tonight and he was ready to enjoy the night.

"What did you two do?" Helia asked, breaking the silence for the first time that afternoon. He placed his hand upon Flora's letting her know that he cared.

Riven smirked, "We made out, had hot sex in the bathroom, terrorized little kids and cut in line in front of everyone for each ride. Nothing different than any other year." He recieved laughs from all of his friends except for Musa. Instead he recieved a smack from her across his shoulder.

"Oww, baby what was that for?" He playfully whined, grasping onto his arm, wincing in pain.

She rolled her eyes, "None of that happened. Well maybe the cutting in line and terrorizing little kids."

"Musa!" Everyone shouted as she chuckled to herself.

"So is everyone up for the party tonight?" Nabu asked, knowing very well that parties were not their forte. But for all of the right, yet totally wrong reasons, everyone seemed for this one this time and not against it.

Riven grinned, wrapping his arms around Musa's slim body, "Party it is."
