If you're here from the old one, you may notice a few differences. I just edited a small bit to make it seem more casual. I hope you enjoy this story!
Raven opened her eyes and sat up in her bed, flattening her hair to the back of her head. She stood up and grabbed her cloak off a hanger. Then, as she stepped out of the doorway, she tripped over Beast Boy's feet as he walked through the hall, taking them both to the ground.
"Sorry, Raven," apologized Beast Boy, standing up and dusting his pants off, "I wasn't looking where I was going."
He reached out his hand to help Raven up, but she got up herself, and swept past him without a word. When she walked into the kitchen, she saw Starfire cooking something. She paid no attention to her, and instead sat down on the couch in the TV room. Then she pulled out a book and entered a world of her own.
"Hey Raven," said Beast Boy from behind her, "Could you scooch over just a smidge? My nature program is on now."
Raven narrowed her eyes but moved to the other side of the anyway.
"Thanks." He happily thanked her, seeing her facial expression, "At least it's educational."
Raven was going to move, but she thought the couch was more comfortable, even with Beast Boy and his show. She didn't know why he wanted to watch it anyway, since he already knew pretty much everything there is to know about animals.
Raven started to casually read her book, enjoying every word. Soon, she was interrupted again by Starfire this time.
"Hello, my friends!" she greeted them cheerily, holding out a plate of good-looking buttered toast, "Would anyone like to try my toasted bread?"
Beast Boy gladly took a piece, but Raven shook her head. Then, Starfire skipped back to the kitchen to toast more.
"And also, the pizzeria has a special deal for a buy one and receive one for lunch!" she called back from her work, "I would like to know where Cyborg is. If he is not found, he will miss the celebration!"
"Cyborg's in the training room!" Beast Boy shouted back, "But then where's Robin?"
"I'm here!" called Robin from the back of the kitchen, slowly consuming a burrito.
It was almost impossible to read with all this yelling. Raven picked up her book and moved off the couch.
"Wait Raven, this is the best part!" pleaded Beast Boy, who apparently thought she was watching, since it was too loud to read.
Raven stood up and marched right back to her room as Beast Boy sank back down on the couch and continued watching his program.
"Robin?" asked Starfire, "Do you think Beast Boy is in the love to Raven?"
"Uh, I don't think so… Why?" Robin answered, raising an eyebrow.
"I do not know," wondered Starfire "He wants her to be near him."
Robin leaned back in his seat to get a glimpse of Beast Boy, who seemed perfectly content without her.
'Imagine. Raven and Beast Boy,' Robin thought, shaking his head and returning to his burrito. He couldn't stifle a small grin. Beast Boy and Raven were like polar opposites. The only similarity was their alignment.
Sometimes, Raven wished she didn't have to put up with the other Titans' shenanigans, but after all, they were her family. The family she'd always wanted, but never had. She couldn't bear to think what she would be without them. Unfortunately, she would have to a lot more later that day.
Yeah. This first one is kind of weird. Please don't take it for granted. It gets much better as it progresses! (Also, the chapters are longer…)
