Emotions are Dangerous

REVISED! 17/11/07

EVERY CHAPTER HAS BEEN EDITED AND PEPPERED WITH UPGRADED PLOT–it is most advisable that you read from the beginning since the storyline was cropped into better understandable bite size that's easier to digest. Also addition was made to the plot.

That is all, all that is. ;D Thank you for staying with me while I claim that Teen Titans does not have my name on it.
Please enjoy all the gaily enhanced sensation.

CHAPTER1

----

I've been thinking, is it possible to sit somewhere where you know you belong and be thinking—is this really REALLY what I signed up for?

I'm seeing things as they were but it's just hard to believe, I've changed so much. I've practically changed the basic component of who I was, how I ran, and to be accepted as I have been before…I had at least expected the sun to rise from the west from now on.

"Hello, my dearest friends! What will be the delightful menu of the morning?" Starfire literally bounced in and bobbed towards the table.

"I ain't even looking at the stuff..." Cyborg turned his head away in grimace when he knew Beast Boy was the cook for the morning.

"Well excuse me if your tin stomach can't take tofu eggs!" cried the ever dignified cook.

Mornings usually were so bright and flamboyant.

"If I have to stay around with you as a cook, I'd rather starve than become a vegetarian! Growing bodies need iron and where do you get this so called nutrient? MEAT!"

"Who eats bloody meat for breakfast?!" Beast Boy shuddered at the word 'meat' to emphasize his belief, "And besides, you don't need to grow anymore than you already are! You're almost as big as-"

"Hey, hey! Stop this quarrelling at once before we have to stop you guys from breaking out another physical combat!" Robin tried to break up the two warring ones with a plate full of tofu eggs still in his spare hand. Starfire looked upon the intriguing argument with awe, and giggled.

Raven stood a far and rolled her eyes at the sight, just then Starfire noticed Raven's minor action and flew towards her. "Morning greetings to you, Raven. How was your nightly rest?"

Raven was almost blinded by Starfire's bright and optimistic ways. She was this much convinced the girl could spontaneously combust if she got any brighter. "Er...if you're asking if I slept well last night, then I'm fine..."

"Oh, wonderful! Now, care to come along and help your famished insides to a healthy pile of tofu eggs with me?"

Raven twitched at Starfire's always unusual way of speech as she edged along to grab her cup, "Um, guess it wouldn't hurt but I'll stick with my tea..."

Starfire didn't seem offended at all by the cold refusal by Raven, instead she smiled and hauled Raven forcefully to the dining table, too bubbly to notice Raven wasn't really airborne like she was. "Herbal tea is good, but as I have learnt the Earthly ways, egg is a better substance to consume in the mornings. Correct?"

"Star...umm, Starfire? STARFIRE!" Raven shouted a bit louder each time over all the fuss coming from the boys, but all was drowned. With nothing to stop her, and nothing to help her, Raven let herself be dragged along by Starfire and be seated rather forcefully.

"Here we go!" Starfire cheerily said and almost too merrily plopped an eyeful of tofu egg onto Raven's plate.

"...thanks, I suppose," Raven stared down at her plate and replied sarcastically. Starfire didn't notice the sarcasm however, and helped some for herself next with, "You are most welcome,"

The verbal and mild physical 'combat' over tofu egg was gradually increasing in the background while Raven dubiously picked up a spoon and poked around the mush suspiciously.

Starfire noticed this and smiled. "Sample some and you shall become to be fond of it. Here!"

Without any warning, Starfire scooped up a spoonful of the mush and forced it into Raven's mouth. Raven's eyes grew to the size of the plate in front of her and swallowed the content painfully.

"Gasp, are-cough, you trying...urgh, to murder-oof!" Raven's attempt at a complaint was cut off by Starfire's another horrid spoonful attack.

"See, you are becoming to like it already," Star smiled innocently and scooped the next spoonful and was ready for another force feeding.

"No! Gulp, I mean, yes. Yes, I love it, let me, cough, enjoy it by myself, in PEACE," Raven thumped her chest, swallowed hard and snatched the spoon away from Starfire, never quite succeeding in glowering at her offender as the girl simply neutralized it with her smile.

Star observed the pale girl opposite her mumble and stab at the plateful of veggie egg fondly while Raven looked to her left and saw the now full fledge physical fight between all three boys and cocked an eyebrow. Then she heard a movement across her and turned her head towards her 'torturer' again.

'Ah!' Raven automatically jerked back when she found Starfire's face which was suddenly magnified, larger or shall we say, closer.

Starfire reached her hand up to the side of Raven's face and made a gentle contact. How could such fragile contact could shake such earthquake in Raven's insides was a mystery. Completely unaware of this, Starfire smiled and rubbed Raven's cheek softly with her thumb and withdrew her hand back.

"I think you are enjoying this a bit too much, friend Raven," Star giggled slightly and showed her thumb which just caressed her cheek with. On it was a smear of tofu.

"Oh," Raven mumbled into her throat and calmed herself. Weird. Such a simple touch, why, any stranger could have done that and she might have not minded. Although, she'd have threatened them till they gave her a good enough excuse on why they touched her in the first place, but this didn't matter at this moment. This awoken feeling was unbearable. Uncomfortable and foreign might have been the words Raven was skirting for.

"Are you...feeling quite alright Raven?" worriedly, Star leaned in again and peered into her face. Suddenly, that feeling rushed back into Raven's heart and made it beat fiercely.

Before she could reply with a, 'I'm fine,', the tofu dishes in front of them exploded and sent the debris everywhere, flinging the dishes and spoons at the three warring ones like bullets. From somewhere near, a kitchen knife flew at full speed and flung itself into the wall, right next to Starfire's head.

Too frightened to scream, Star froze with her eyes wide and hands in mid air. The disaster brought end to the three male titans' war of ripping each other's heads off and all three looked to Raven's direction with Beast Boy and Robin grabbing at Cy's face and ears, while said Cyborg holding up the other two in each hand by their collars.

"Sorry..." Raven managed to mumble and floated silently up the stairs and along the corridors while the door shut automatically behind her, with the rest still staring after her.

'What's happening to me?'
