Raven was enjoying his very quiet birthday. Jeff, Caria, Matt, Bree, Pandora, Terry, even his own girlfriend Ariella had gone out, leaving him to his birthday wish of peace and quiet. He put his glasses on, after sleeping until noon, and began reading the special book addition of 'The Crow' that had been left on his bedside by Arri with one note: 'Love ya, Rae! Love Me!!" She knew of his love for dark comic books, so for his birthday, she had given him the full set for The Crow.

It was about three when the door opened. "Rave?" Ariella called from the doorway. "You awake, hun?"

Raven looked up. "Yeah?"

Ariella walked into the room, high heeled boots clicking on the floor. Raven took in her appearance with a dry mouth. Black leather tube top corset, leather miniskirt, orange fishnets, thigh high leather boots. She was gorgeous.

Ariella had her hands behind her back. "Ravey, I've got a present for you…"

Raven quirked a pierced brow. "I thought the comic was my present…" He replied, pointing to the shiny book now settled on the end table.

Ariella laughed, shaking her head. Her black streaked, orangey-brown hair flung from side to side. "That's only part of it, silly!"

Raven felt a smirk curl his lips. "What's the other part?" He had a feeling what was behind her back was a certain type of lacy, silky garment.

"You'll like it!" Ariella replied, happily bringing a sleeping, orange kitten out from behind her back. "Surprise!"

Raven's eyes widened. "Wha- Arri, a cat?!"

"Yeah!" Ariella rubbed the cat against her cheek as it awoke. "Isn't he cute?!"

Raven sighed. "Arri, I don't like cats."

"Yeah you do!"

"What's my name?"

Ariella raised an eyebrow. "Raven…"

Raven clapped sarcastically. "Exactly, and what type of animal is a Raven?"

Ariella cocked her head to the side. "A bird…"

Raven smiled and nodded. "Do birds like cats, baby girl?"

Ariella shook her head, still holding the cat. "But you do!" She replied loudly. "And guess what his name is!"

Raven sighed, giving in. "What's his name?"

"Raven," Ariella began, "junior!" Her voice rose a few octaves at the second word.

The cat yawned. "Mrreow?"

Ariella squealed. "He's so cute!" She set Raven Jr. in Raven's lap. The small kitten settled down, falling asleep just above Raven's crotch.

"Yay freaking me." Raven said monotonously and picked his book back up. "Happy freaking birthday."
