Chapter one: The Lonely Hearts Club
Raven's point of view
As I run into my room, the door closes. I jump into my bed and groan from the headache I can feel coming on. How can your friends still trust you? You just told them that the legendary Scath, or to be more correct, Trigon the Terrible is your father, and that you are the gem, his seed that will open the portal for him to come to earthrealm to destroy all of humanly existence. I treid to meditate, but all I heard was that darn prophecy, "WHAT YOU SEALED YOU SHALL BECOME. WHAT YOU LOVED YOU SHALL CONSUME. THE PORTAL MUST BE OPENED. THE PROPHECY WILL COME TO PASS!" As I opened my eyes, my door opened, and in came Beast Boy. Beast Boy was always the annoying one, but today he was an even bigger annoyance!
Raven: What do you want, Beast Boy?
Beast Boy: Well, you ran into your room kinda fast. Is there anything you want to talk about?
Oookay! Why is Beast Boy so concerned about me? I can't deny that I want to talk, but I think being alone is something I really need to do right now. But since he's in…
Raven: Sure.
Beast Boy came further into the room and sat right next to you. As he did you began to blush. Okay, Raven. It's just Beast Boy! Why on earth are you blushing?
Beast Boy: Well, shoot.
Raven: Okay. I'm tired of Slade always coming to tell me something, I'm tired of fearing my emotions, I'm tired of hiding, I'm scared of Trigon, I miss Azarath and my mother, and I want this whole thing to end. And—
As you utter these words out of your mouth, the entire room turns an alarming black. You just let your emotions come out.
Beast Boy: Calm down, Raven! It's going to be okay!
As Beast Boy says this, he grabs me into a hug. As he hugs me, I begin to cry and Blush at the same time. Wait, hold up! Did Beast Boy just hug me?
Beast Boy: I won't let him hurt you, okay?
Raven: Okay.
As I whimper these words, I look into his eyes. I can see Beast Boy in a way I've never seen him before! He seems like more than a friend does. He looks like a man, tonight. The man of my dreams.
Raven: Uh, you had better go.
Beast Boy: Bye Raven. If you want to talk…I'm just across the hall.
As he leaves, I smile. I smile big and wide. By heart began to jump and sing. But I soon stopped, realizing that my emotions are dangerous. And besides, it's not like I love him or anything.
Starfire's point of view
As I sit down in the kitchen, I began to think of Raven and everything she just told me. Everything about Trigon. It's very hard excepting that your friend is practically a demon. I love Raven like a sibling, but this is still hard non-the-less. I feel like I'm about to, how do earthlings say it, puke? I haven't felt like this since I discovered that Blackfire was a criminal. As I ponder such alarming thoughts, Robin walks in. Robin looked serious, like he always does. His mask always seemed to hide his concerns, making it hard for him to open up. I wish he would. But…it's not like I love him or anything.
Starfire: Robin, you look…upset. Are you sad for Raven?
Robin: Yes.
Starfire: Please come and do the sitting with me. You look like you need a friend.
Robin: I'm just so mad, star. Slade always comes back. I wish he would just die. And now he's working for a demon mad man. And even worse, he's targeting Raven.
Starfire: Do not fret, dear friend. We will be victorious in the end. You have to believe that.
Robin: Thanks, Star. I'm glad you're on the team.
As he says this, I realize he is holding my hand. Why heart begins to rejoice like a zentarii try-rabbit in the month of March. But why do I care? But still, I look into his mask. I see the man I hope to be with. If only…I could see his eyes. But why do I care? It's not like I love him. As he leaves, I too depart to Raven's room. I am hoping she can help me.
As I open her door, I see her look into a hand mirror. She began to chant some strange words. They're words I've never heard before. At the end of what seems like a spell, The hand mirror began to flash purple, and a person jumps out of the mirror. It looks like a clone of Raven, except she was wearing pink. Next a red raven comes out, and then a green, and then an orange, and then ten more different colored Ravens. I know what these Ravens are. They are Raven's Emotions. Cyborg has told me about his adventure into Raven's Mind. I begin to step in further into the room and then Raven looks at me. "Raven?"
Raven's point of view
Raven: Starfire, what are you doing? Get out.
Starfire: But, Raven. I need your help. I…I want you to summon my emotions too!
Raven: WHAT?
I look at Starfire as though she is crazy. Why would she want to talk to her emotions? But as I look into her eyes, I can see she must need help.
Raven: … Okay, but what you're about to hear doesn't leave this room. I'm going to talk to my emotions first.
Grumpy Raven: Okay, what do you want?
Angry Raven: That Raven is just me when I'm simply ticked off. But I'm really Angry now!
Raven: Shut-up, okay. I need your help. My emotions have been out of check lately, I want your feed back. Why?
Intelligent Raven: I'll make this simple. When did your predicament start?
Raven: When Beast Boy came into my r…
I knew where that darn emotion was going with this. As soon as I said Beast Boy, all of my emotions began to go "ooooo!"
Starfire: Oh, joyous! Raven you are in love with Beast Boy!
Raven: I am not. Okay, where's love?
Romantic Raven: Hear I am, fair Juliet.
Raven: I'm not Juliet.
Romantic Raven: Yes you are, and guess your Romeo is!
Raven: That's what I want to know. A-am I in…love?
Romantic Raven: Of course you are, Silly.
Raven: Okay, I'm through here. VICNAY OSTROFIBOCK, EMENIFOUS, RAVEN, NOR!
As I said this, all of my emotions disappeared. Then I look at Starfire.
Raven: Remember our bargain.
Starfire: Yes I do. Oh, this is so wonderful. You and Beast Boy were meant for each other! Terra was just a fork in you love road!
Raven: Starfire, just shut up. Now then, ONDIO, MALCIFUS, RECUS STARFIRE NOR, TONTCROUS!
As I said those magic words, all of Starfire's many emotions came out and stood before her.
Starfire's point of view
As Raven said those magic words, many entities of my emotions sprung from a mist. I saw them all. I saw Happy me first, and then timid me. I saw grumpy me, and angry me. But the emotion that stood out was intelligent me. She was wearing glasses.
Starfire: Oh, emotions. I have a problem. My heart really hurts. And the more I try to not think about it, the sicker with heartache and a stomachache I become. Why is this so, oh great emotions?
Happy Starfire: I think you need to laugh!
Angry Starfire: Don't make me throw a Starbolt at you.
Romantic Starfire: Starfire, you are in love with a boy you admire from afar. Embrace his love, and he will embrace yours.
Starfire: Ummm…okay. Could I get that in simple English please?
Angry Starfire: Oh for the love of X'hal, you're in love with Robin the boy blunder. Can we go?
Raven: VICNAY OSTROFIBOCK, EMENIFOUS, STARFIRE, NOR!
As Raven said these words, my emotions were gone. They answered my question, but they left me with a Tarmaranean moon-full of questions left un-answered. Raven looked confused too.
Starfire: So, where do we go from here?
Raven: I'm in love with Beast Boy?
As she said this, she began to smile. She must have finally realized it's true.
Raven: Life is really strange.
Starfire: I always thought of Robin as a good friend. Or at least that's what I kept telling myself. Do you think they love us back?
Raven: I don't know star, but I know one thing.
Starfire: What's that?
Raven: If they don't I might as well join the lonely-hearts club.
Raven sat down next to me, and we both just sat there in confusion. But my mind quickly wandered to Robin. Oh, Robin. I really do love you. As I look into Raven's eyes, I can tell she is thinking something similar about Beast boy.
Raven: Beast Boy…wow.
