Ch. 1

It started out as any other day would. Cyborg buffing the T-Car for the 900th time., Starfire finally pried the Boy Wonder out of his room to the "Mall of Shopping", and Raven, found herself lost in the pages of yet another good book, hoping that a certain green hero wouldn't find her.

Finally, quiet thought Raven to herself. She finally had the time to herself to loose herself in the book. But this book wasn't exactly her standard reading material. No. This book was about someone who had lost themselves another way. Why can't I shake him! I can't get him out of my mind! she thought to herself. The only other time Raven had to deal with these emotions was when she was with Melchior, and that didn't exactly last long. So Raven wasn't exactly versed on dealing with these kind of emotions. I just need to sort through these emotions she thought.

"Duuuuude, there's nothing to doooo!' Thought the changling, bored out of his mind. He walked down to the garage, saw Cyborg buffing the T-Car. Not wanting to interrupt Cyborg's love affair with his baby, he figured he would just go play some Mega-Monkeys 5...

As Beast Boy lazilly found his way into the Common Room, he saw Raven, all alone, reading...AGAIN!

He couldn't stand it. He had no idea why she always kept to herself. Whenever there was some sort of get-together, she was the wall flower. Did she have no idea..., he thought to himself. All he ever wanted was to have the attention of the quiet empath. The only other time he felt this way about someone, was her. The emotions were a jumble to him, he had no idea how to sort them out.

Beast Boy decided that he was going to try and get her to break away from her book. Now, in the past, this has caused significant damage to poor BB, and a large replacment window bill, but he was an optimist, and smitten.

"Whatcha doin?" Said Beast Boy as he walked up to the couch, kind of braced for the impending pain, but attempting all the same.

"Reading." she said coldly. "Well, I was gonna play Mega-Monkeys, wanna join me?"

"No, I have a perfectly good book, and I was content to sit here and read it."

"PLEASEEEEE!" Begged the hopeful changling, as he morphed into a small kitten, hoping that the eyes might have some effect.

Most of the time, Raven would have given in, but today, with the state her emotions were in, she couldn't handle it...

"Aw Man!" was all Cyborg could say as he heard the window crash. "Will he ever learn?"
