"It's a
beautiful night." Raven thought. She was right; it was a
cloudless, starry night. It was her turn to get the mail and she
liked to organize it by whom it was addressed to. Tonight, however,
it was bigger that the usual pile and she was just finishing
organizing by the time she got up into the living room.
Then,
Raven's eyes widened slightly, but not enough for her teammates to
notice. Her hand held a little pink paper as big as a postcard. But
it wasn't a post card at all. It was something much worse. She
quickly snatched it with her own pile and started towards the door,
stashing it in her pile. Just as Cyborg got up to get his
mail.
"Well, I'm tired; I think that I'm going to go to bed.
Night." And with that, she rushed out the door.
"That
was just a 'freak moment' yes?" Starfire asked.
"Yeah
Star, it was a little off, but why?" Robin replied.
Cyborg
returned to the couch with his pile of mail. He answered "It had
something to do with the mail. I saw her shove a little pink thing in
her pile before she left."
"Probably just a letter from
her secret admirer. " Beastboy said, trying to be funny.
They
all stared at him, bug-eyed, shocked written across their faces.
Cyborg was the first one to crack a smile. Soon they were all on the
floor laughing.
"What?" Beastboy asked, confused and
mystified as to what they were all laughing about.
Cyborg
answered. "Jealous or ..."
"... is it you?"
Robin cut in.
Beastboy started to turn red. He tried to save
himself by commenting back. "I don't like her like that.
S...She's ju...st my......friend."
Cyborg replied "Yeah,
well there's a difference between friendly and friendlier, and you
two have been spending a friendlier amount of time together since the
Brotherhood of Evil."
"We've just gotten used to each
other more. There's no difference except now instead of being in the
same house, we can be in the same room."
"Depends on
whose room it is. And with that I'm out. Night ya'll." Cyborg
quickly left the room; leaving his precious videogame and high score
to Beastboy.
" Yes, I believe I too must get the sleep of
beauty. Good night" she said taking her pile with her. Robin
left as well, following the auburn-hair alien closely behind. This
left the green changeling alone to think about the things just
said.
"Robin, I was watching my
favorite show today and an advertisement came on saying something
about a musica'l what is this and why were they stressing their
vocals to reach an annoying pitch?" Star asked Robin as they walked
to their room.
"It's called singing, star and it's like a
movie only live in front of you."
"Oh perhaps we shall go see
the one I saw on the television, it seemed entertaining."
"Sure,"
He said as they reached his room. "we'll talk about it tomorrow.
Goodnight Starfire."
"Good night Robin."
An
hour passed, and he decided to let it be. 'Besides,' he thought to
himself as he walked down the hall to his room 'She doesn't like me
like that.'
That's when he ran into Raven, knocking her down. He
had been so absorbed into his thoughts, that he hadn't noticed her
floating down the hall. She was in her own world of thoughts too. So
she didn't notice him until she actually ran into him.
"Sorry."
she said trying to get up. She thought ' Wow, he's gotten bigger; he
knocked me down but didn't knock himself down. It seems like it was
only yesterday that I could knock him over without a glance. Oh wait,
that was yesterday.'
Beastboy gave her his hand to help her up.
Raven grabbed his hand and he pulled her up. 'Muscular too.' Happy
said.
"Uh," Beastboy said, trying to break the silence
"why aren't you in bed? I thought you said that you were
tired?"
"Couldn't sleep." She said with a monotone
voice. "I'm just going to go up to the roof to meditate"
"Oh.
Okay then. Good night Rae."
"Goodnight Beastboy."
They
both left and just as Beastboy was near his room he was even closer
to Raven's room. 'Well just to make sure it's not something bad that
she was hiding from us. Not that she would.' he said to himself
trying to make himself feel better about the whole thing.
He
opened the door. As he entered the room he noticed that there was a
bit more stuff than last time. The books had been moved around to
also let pictures sit. And more decorations than those creepy birds.
Her mirror had obviously just been used, he wondered what for, but
figured it was probably just for meditation. Then he went to her
night stand where the pile was. He searched through and quickly found
the pink envelope and was about to leave when he saw the only picture
in a frame and on her nightstand was one with only him and her. It
was the one they had taken at the carnival (In the episode Sisters;
season 1) and Beastboy had won her that giant chicken. 'Not exactly
the best thing you could get a girl.' he thought. But Cyborg had
insisted on capturing the moment. 'Well, there's no room were I can
talk, I have that same pic on my desk. Well I better get out of here
before she catches me.' he turned just to see the door open. Quickly
turning into a fly he flew out of there and flew to his own door.
Then walked in his room to read the letter.
