This is my second fanfic!!! Yay! Thanks to everyone who reviewed to Masquerade! I really appreciate it. This story is about a spring break cruise where Musa's old friends meet her new ones. There will be drama when an unexpected guest comes along.
Just some notes – "Paradise Lost" is named after the poem by 17th century poet, John Milton. I don't own the poem, obviously. I also do not own Winx Club.
Also, I this story is taking place in April of Musa's junior year, meaning the boys are in their senior year.
Cruise Anyone?
Musa had just returned from her date with Riven and walked into her dorm room. She then walked out into the common room and greeted all the girls. Bloom was seated next to Techna looking at something online. Flora was watering some plants and Stella was strutting around the room asking everyone their opinion on her new outfit. Layla then walked in from her room and took a seat on the couch.
"How was your date?" Stella asked with a sly smile, she then noticed the time and Musa almost never returned from a date with Riven in 3 hours. "You're back early."
"Fun, Riven had to go take a test in battle class, so we cut it short." Musa said with a half smile. She and Riven were getting closer by the day and she couldn't have been happier about it. After the battle with Darkar, the two grew close and they had seen each other occasionally over the summer, but now they were definitely making up for lost time. They were in love and being with each other meant being in paradise for the two.
"Well don't fret darling, Brandon promised he would bring the guys over after their classes were over," Stella said as she tried to decide what to wear.
"Oh, great!" Musa began, she always felt excited before seeing Riven. "I'll go do some homework and call my dad before they come over." She finished as she walked into her room.
A couple hours later…
"Dad that sounds amazing! Thanks so much!" Musa practically screamed into her cell phone. She was jumping up and down all over her room. She was one her daily phone call with her father and she was extremely happy with some news her father just gave her.
"Your welcome darling, I hope you and your friends have fun. Remember to behave yourselves, no sharing your rooms with boys," Her father replied protectively.
"Daddy, don't worry we'll be good." Musa replied as innocently as she could.
"Alright darling I have to go to meeting with some government officals; I'll call you later, love you." he replied.
"Okay bye daddy, love you too." Musa said and then hung up the phone.
Musa just hung up the phone after talking to her father and she ran out of her room eagerly. She seemed very excited, more so then Stella when she gets a new pair of shoes.
"Guess what guys?" Musa asked as she addressed her best friends, that hadn't really moved since she went to her room. All five of them looked at the musical princess, who looked like she was ready to explode with excitement.
"What's up Musa?" Bloom said as she looked up from the computer. Musa was ready to explain when she heard something at the door. Just then she heard a knock coming from the door. Stella answered it and six of their favorite boys walked in.
All the guys walked to their respective girlfriends. Riven came from behind Musa and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's waist and moved the hair away from her neck and placed a small kiss there. Everyone looked at the two; ever since they started dating Riven had become a lot more comfortable about opening up and showing emotion. Granted, he didn't show much more emotion then before, but his constant scowl was now replaced by a grin whenever Musa was around. He smiled at her when he noticed she seemed exuberant.
"So guys, guess what?" Musa began again from Riven's arms.
"What's up?" Bloom and Layla said at almost the same time.
"My dad just bought a huge new yacht and it's harbored at the Magix Marina, so for spring break he said we could all go on it and sail around the tropics and be back in time for school when break is over." She explained. "So you guy's in?"
There was an enormous uproar of agreement with her offer. The girls looked forward to swimming, sunbathing and spending time with their boyfriends. The guys were also pretty excited, seeing their girlfriends in nothing but bathing suits for a week and a half was enough to make them want to go. Everyone seemed pretty happy about the trip and 10 days away from school without any chaperones seemed like a dream come true to everyone.
"So you'll be in a bathing suit all week," Riven said with a smirk on his face. "I'm on board with that idea." Instead of a cute reply, Musa turned around and lightly kissed her boyfriend on his lips and then looked back at her friends.
"So is that a yes?" She asked even though she already knew the answer.
"Definitely, but now we need to go shopping!" Stella said as she grabbed her purse.
"We just went this afternoon Stella," Layla complained as she took off the high heels that Stella made her buy and then wear all day. She looked over the clock and made note that it was 6pm, and they had returned from shopping about four hours ago.
"How about later Stel, I'm still pretty tired, we all had battle class tests today and they were pretty tiring," Brandon said to Stella who was already on her way to the door.
"Fine, but tomorrow I need a new wardrobe for the cruise," she said as she sat back down with a pout. "Oh, are we going to stop at any islands?" she asked
"Yeah, we're stopping by Syrin Island for however long you guys want to stay there," Musa answered.
"Oh and some of my friends from back home are flying in so we can all vacation together," Musa said. "They are arriving at Magix International on a private jet tomorrow, and we can leave right after that, since tomorrow is the last day of classes."
"What time are they coming?" Flora asked?
"Around 1." Musa answered.
"Great! We can get them from the airport, then go shopping, then go straight to the ship!" Stella said excitedly.
"That sounds fun! I can't wait to meet your old friends." Bloom said excitedly. Everyone agreed.
"Yeah, we can find out what Musa was like before Alfea," Techna teased.
"Well, I don't think it will be anything interesting," Musa said as got up to grab her phone and then sat next to Riven. "But they are all looking forward to meeting you guys."
"So who exactly are we meeting? Do they have names and faces?" Helia said in a jesting tone. Musa had talked about her friends before but only the girls met them when some of them came to visit her during her freshman year. Musa usually went home to visit them once a month since it was easier for her to go home instead of all of them going to visit her.
"Oh I have pictures," Musa said as she got up and went to her room. Once in her room she pulled a box out from out of her bed. She sorted through some pictures trying to find a picture that had all of her friends that would be attending her little excursion. She picked up a picture of her and a guy with dark brown hair, and dark green eyes. His arm was around her waist and her arms were wrapped around his neck with her head resting on his chest. The two were smiling and seemed to be pretty happy. Musa looked at the picture and then buried it under the rest of them, there were some things she really didn't want to relive, or even think about. When she found an appropriate picture she took it and went back into the common room.
"Here, the one with dirty blond hair is Nate, his girlfriend is the one with slightly curly brown hair, she's Leslie. The twins are Isabelle and Annabelle, Annabelle is the one in blue. Duke is the one wearing the polo. And lastly, Brian is the one with black hair." She said as the picture got passed around. "I think that's everyone coming."
Riven was the last to look at the picture. "Anyone I should be worried about?" Riven teased as he put his arm around Musa.
"Of coarse not, they are like family to me," Musa reassured Riven. She knew Riven trusted her, but it was cute when he got a little jealous.
"So what do you guys want to do, since going out is out of the question," Stella asked.
"How about we watch a movie?" Musa proposed. Everyone agreed and all of them decided to stay in and watch a movie. Everyone eventually fell asleep since all the guys were exhausted and the girls were also pretty worn out. Musa fell asleep on the couch on Riven's shoulder when she heard her phone go off. She quickly got up and went to her room to answer it, she didn't want to wake up everyone who had fallen asleep in the common room.
"Hello?" she asked after she saw Leslie's name on her phone.
"Hey M, its Leslie, we've got a bit of a problem," Leslie informed Musa
"What's wrong, you guys can come right?" Musa asked worriedly. She had been looking forward to seeing some of her friends from her Devon Academy, her old school. Not seeing them would put a major damper on the whole trip.
"Yeah, we're definitely coming, but someone else is coming along…" Leslie trailed off; she wasn't sure how to tell one of her best friends someone else that she wasn't particularly fond of was coming along.
"Great! Who else is coming?" Musa asked excitedly, the more the better she thought.
"Dan." Leslie said almost afraid of what Musa was going to say.
"Cunningham?" Musa asked with a serious tone.
"Yea…sorry," Leslie replied
"Why is he coming, who invited him!" Musa almost yelled into the phone. The small scream Musa let out woke up her boyfriend who then got up and went to see what caused her to yell.
"Your father invited him, Nate and Dan were at the Palace because his father was there meeting with your dad, and your dad told Dan about the trip and told Dan he should go. Nate tried to convince your father out of it, but your dad still thinks you and Dan talk. And Dan, being the lover of starting drama that he is, gladly accepted his offer," Leslie explained.
"Crap! Actually it might be okay, we are on pretty good terms, right?" Musa said as she turned around and saw Riven yawning at the door. She couldn't help but smile, rough tough Riven was so cute when he woke up.
"So what time are you guys arriving at the airport tomorrow?" Musa said changing the subject.
"Umm, around 1:00 pm, wait aren't you angry," Leslie asked skeptically.
"No of coarse not, so I'll see you tomorrow" Musa said suddenly sounding a lot cheerier.
"Umm…okay well then I'll talk to you tomorrow," Leslie said
"Okay bye Les," Musa said.
"Bye M," Leslie said as she hung up. Musa then hung up and turned back to Riven.
"Everything okay?" Riven asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, everything is just fine. My friends get here around 1 tomorrow," she said with a smile trying to hide how nervous she was about the trip. She was hoping Riven wouldn't notice that she had asked for information she already knew and get suspicious. "You know it's past curfew and all of you guys are still here."
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Riven said as he wrapped his arms around Musa's waist.
"Of coarse not, I just don't want you to get in trouble before our trip," she said with an innocent smile as she looked up at him.
"I guess we should wake everyone up," Riven said with a smirk. Musa then went out to the common room and turned on some very loud music. When everyone woke up, the boys left and attempted to sneak back into Red Fountain.
Musa got into bed and thought about the impending trip. She was so excited and now, she was nervous. It's fine, nothing is going to happen, we're all mature. She was desperately hoping there would be no drama on this trip. She knew things would get interesting, to say the very least.
Oh no! who is this Dan? And why is Musa so worried about this?
I purposely made Musa's old friends rich because she's a princess meaning she went to the very best schools.
Anyone who read "Masquerade" knows that I am pretty quick with updating, but since the holidays are coming I may take a bit longer, but I promise the updates won't be too spread out.
Please review and tell me what you think, it really does help me feel more motivated to write!
