Musa opened her eyes. She jumped. Musa was staring into Riven's purple eyes.
"Hey." He whispered. "It's about time you woke up." He smiled.
" Riven! What are..." She remembered. They were engaged. It had only been 3 days so she kept forgetting. Musa blushed. " Sorry. I just forgot."
Riven laughed. " Yeah I've forgotten a few times too. I just can't believe it! We're finally engaged."
" What do you mean finally?" She raised her eyebrows. "You've only known me for like 4 years."
" Yeah and for 4 years I've been dreaming about this." He leaned over kissing Musa. " Good morning."
Musa giggled. " Good morning!" She swung her legs over the side of the bed. " I think I'm going to get something to eat."
" Okay. I'll be here." Riven mumbled as he rolled over on his stomach, falling asleep almost instantly. Musa grinned. She just couldn't get over how happy she was. She was going to spend the rest of her life with Riven. The very same guy that had rejected her for Darcy 3 years ago. Had it only been three years? Yes. But it seemed like an eternity ago.
Musa walked down the hall to the kitchen. As she opened the fridge, Musa thought of her friends. Bloom, Stella, Tecna, Flora and Layla. ' I wish they were here now.' she thought. But no. Bloom was off in Eraklyon with Sky. Stella was in Solaria with Brandon. Layla and Nabu were on Tides. Flora was probably somewhere in Linfea. Maybe even with Helia. Tecna was on her home planet and Timmy was on his. And here she was in an apartment in downtown Magix. With Riven. Though she loved Riven with all her heart, Musa would give anything to see her friends again.
" Musa! What's taking you so long!" Riven's voice wrenched her from her thoughts.
" I'm um..." Musa rubbed her face with her hands, trying to wake herself up.
" You okay?" Riven shuffled into the kitchen. He wrapped his arms around her waist as he approached the fridge.
" Um...Yeah..." She blinked back tears. " I just...okay. No Riv. I'm not okay. I miss my friends." Tears began to fall freely from Musa's eyes.
" Musa." Riven pulled her into a hug. " It's not that bad. You only graduated 5 days ago. So you haven't seen them for 5 days. How can you possibly miss them that much already."
" Well for one. We spent almost everyday together for the past 4 years. Don't you miss your friends Riven." That had been the first time Riven had been even the slightest bit rude for the past 3 days.
"Well a bit. But then again I've been graduated for a year. Plus I didn't exactly spend as much time with my friends as you did with yours."
" Your right. I'm sorry." Musa sighed deeply. " I'll see them soon I'm sure."
" I know what will cheer you up." Riven grinned " Follow me." He led Musa back to their bedroom. Musa sat on the bed. "Now close your eyes."
"Riven! What's the surprise." Musa flopped on her back. Riven kissed her.
" Okay. Open your eyes."
Musa screamed with excitement. In his hands was an invitation to a Solarian Ball. From Stella and Brandon.
