Sorry this was so short, a didn't have much of a storyline to it but I wanted to see how it grabbed a person's attention.


Once Timmy reached Red Fountain, he met Saladin at his office. He walked in, and saw Saladin's face was displeased. He sat down by his desk.

"Did I do something wrong, Headmaster Saladin?" he asked.

"Not you… Riven did." Saladin replied evenly.

"I know he was expelled from Red Fountain." Timmy told him dully.

"Yes, but you don't know why he was expelled." Saladin added, "When the police were looking through Riven's belongings, they came across some drugs and alcohol."

"So that explains his violence and unnecessary insults." Timmy hissed, "But how could we have missed it?"

"Addicts are very crafty at keeping their addiction a secret, unless they were recently under an influence." Saladin explained, "He was sent back to his home realm. I received a quick message afterward saying that he would be sent to the Magix Institute of Corrections. If he leaves completely clean, I might give him a second chance in Red Fountain."

"How long will he be staying there?" Timmy asked.

"Six months." Saladin answered him, "But don't worry about it, just go back up to you dorm and get ready for dinner."

"Yes sir." Timmy responded as he left the office.


Timmy opened the door to see everyone unpacking Helia's belongings into Riven's space. The bedding was off the bed, being washed thoroughly for any leftover substances. Timmy sat at his desk and sighed deeply, thinking about Tecna.

"Who knew, he didn't do it willingly." Helia was saying.

"He is going to be so devastated when he realized he lost Musa because of this." Sky added sadly.

"Maybe things'll patch up between them." Brandon thought out loud, it was just a thought, no one knew what would happen next.

"I just don't understand why Tecna had to be the one to get hurt, of anyone." Timmy thought quietly to himself. Everything that had happened went too fast for him, and he didn't know rather to forgive Riven or not, at the moment, he was leaning on the decision to refuse his apologizes.


Six months later, the Winx, including Tecna and Musa, stood out on the quad of Red Fountain as a hover-bus pulled up. Then, none other then Riven stepped off. He looked calm, more so, ashamed of what he done. He walked over to Tecna slowly, but Timmy jumped in between them. It was six months after Riven had abused his cupcake, but he still didn't forget the condition she was in after, and he was still deciding rather to forgive, or to never trust him again.

"Timmy, I don't want to hurt Tecna, I want to apologize to her." Riven told him calmly.

"Likely story." Timmy hissed.

"Timmy, please, I want to gain your respect back and I thought about when I said and did to her for six months straight, it was something I had to live with and I just want you to forgive me." Riven pleaded, something he had never done before. Timmy looked into his former friend's face, something about that revived kindness weakened his fight not to trust him.

"Fine, but one shady move-" Timmy began, but then received a pat on the back.

"No, Timmy, I'm done with everything I did." Riven replied, then he stepped towards Tecna, who backed up a little.

"Tecna, I am so very sorry for everything I ever did to you six months ago, I didn't know what I was thinking and I realized in a hard way that it would be hard to gain back everyone's trust. I promise you, and Timmy, that I will never hurt you again." Riven reached out a hand and Tecna cautiously shock it, she did not know what to say. Timmy just thought he'd better keep that promise.

"Riven, is this all true, do you really feel this way?" Musa asked in surprise.

"Musa, I thought about everything you said to me six months ago on the phone, everything ran through my mind every second of every day I was there. I just didn't really want to lose you, and I will never forgive myself if you didn't believe me."

"Riven…" Musa began to cry, "I missed you so much, and I thought you did it on purpose, but now I knew you were under the influence of drugs. You had no control over yourself, what you were doing or saying."

"I would never hurt anyone, Musa, not willingly." Riven wiped a tear from her eye.

"Riven, of course I forgive you, because I know you worked hard to clean yourself up. But, why did you do those horrid drugs in the first place?" Musa asked.

"I doesn't matter, Musa, all that matters is that we're back together, and that I'm somewhat trusted by my friends and your friends again." Riven replied softly to her. Then, they embraced.

"My beautiful melody, I never want to lose you again." Riven whispered softly while caressing Musa's long jet black hair. The sight made everyone else embrace their loved ones tightly, knowing that they too, would never willingly hurt each other the way Riven had hurt Tecna. Riven did feel very sorry for abusing her, and he knew that he would keep his promise to her and TImmy. Over time, Timmy learned to trust Riven again, and Riven was so nice to Tecna for a while, just to prove to her that he was telling the truth. Riven had been re-enrolled in Red Fountain, and he never hurt any of the Winx girls again after that.
