When I Was Young
Chapter One: Scary Pudding
AN: I do not own teen titans. Don't you wish you had a dollar for every time you've read that? Anyway, this is a story about Raven. Don't be mad, or flame me, but I am a BbxRae fan. Or however you want to say it. I know, they are total opposites, but they fit so nicely. So this will be a Raven and Beastboy story. I have another TT story, Do Not Enter. It's just a big pile of songs I wrote forever ago, but it mentions this picture of a mysterious boy. He's in this (:
"Robin! Oh, Robin! May you try my melaknar pudding!" Starfire asked, calling out for her now boyfriend of three months.
"Um, I'm not really hungry right now, Star, but maybe later." Robin said, taking another bite of his bagel.
"That's wrong, dude." Beastboy said, shaking his head at Robin.
"Do you know what melaknar pudding is?" Robin retorted.
"No, but I don't lie to Star about it."
"Friend Beastboy, would you like some melaknar pudding?"
"No thanks Star, I'm not sure if it's vegetarian."
"It's nothing more than a melaknar worm." Starfire said, sure of her anwser.
"Worms are animals too. I can't eat the face of some poor.. slime thing."
"Oh, silly friend Beastboy, it's not made of that end of the worm."
"So, why don't you try it Beastboy?" Robin said, egging on Starfire. (AN: egging, I'm not sure that's the right word.)
"Starfire." Beastboy began, finally putting down the controller of his video game and turning to face his friend. "Ask Raven, I bet she'd love it. By the way, what color is it?"
"It is Brown." Starfire said, holding it out to him.
"Just tell Raven it's chocolate pudding. Which is almost the same thing."
"I will do that friend Beastboy." Starfire said, flying away towards Raven's room.
"You know, you could have told one of us you were feeling suicidal, B." Cyborg said in all seriousness.
"What?" Beastboy looked from Cyborg to Robin.
"Sending Star after Raven with a big bowl of God knows what." Cyborg shook his head, picking up the other game controller. "You know what Stars gonna say."
"Yeah," Robin chimed in. "Friend Raven, Friend Beastboy said that you would like my chocolate pudding that is really melaknar pudding. A very treasured delicacy in my home planet. It is a very hard to find worm.. yammer yammer yammer."
"Dude. That's rude, she's your girlfriend." Beastboy said, sitting back down on the couch, and picking the controller back up.
"Yes, and I'm glad she doesn't lie, or even know how too. That makes her my perfect girl, if she thinks theres something wrong she tells me. If she likes something about me, she tells me."
"If she thinks my tights are too revealing, and I obsess over Slade, she tells me." Beastboy interrupted, mockingly.
"Raven's not stupid enough to eat something Starfire gives her." Beastboy said, mainly to himself.
"Just like she's not stupid enough to fall for a guy in a book." Cyborg said, eyes fixed on the t.v.
"Hey! He tricked her! That wasn't her fault!" Beastboy snapped.
"Look, Raven's just like the rest of us, but in her own way." Robin began. "Emotions have huge effects on Raven, just as they do with us, including you, Beastboy. We all remember what fear did to her. We saw the haze she was in during the whole Malacar (sp) thing. How she was hurt when he turned on her, when she found out he lied. The same way you reacted to Terra."
"Malacar's different then Terra." Beastboy defended.
"Dude. She tried to kill all of us. Twice." Cyborg said tartly. "Granted, in the end she did save our butts."
"I know, but he didn't make up for it. He didn't even care. Terra cared."
"Dude, are you defending Terra or Raven?"
"I'm killing two birds with one stone." Beastboy stated. "Um. Origami birds."
"Okay. Listen. I'm very sensitive to people hurting Raven." Beastboy said, without putting much thought into it.
Both Cyborg and Robin looked at each other, then to Beastboy.
"Why?" Cyborg asked.
"Remember when everybody thought it was me who hurt Raven, and she was just lying there, not even moving."
"Yeah. That's not something you forget." Robin replied.
"I've never been that scared or ashamed or angry all at the same time like that before." She's my friend, she may not like me much, but she's still my friend."
"Didn't the Malacar thing happen before the you going scary beast thing?" Cyborg asked confused.
"AAAGGGHHH!" Came a shrill scream from the hall way.
"Starfire!" Robin called out, rushing towards the shriek.
"What the?" Cyborg said as the three boys stopped in front of Starfire. The bowl of pudding was spilled all over Raven, who looked disgusted and furious. "Well. This isn't chocolate." Raven said breaking the silence.
"What was the scream for?" Robin asked, looking from one girl to the next.
"I'm getting cleaned off." Raven said, in her usual monotone.
Starfire waited for Raven to leave before saying anything. "Do not be alarmed friends. I was giving friend Raven the pudding, as friend Beastboy had suggested. When she opened the door, I saw a shadow. Not of Ravens. There is someone else in her room."
"Are you sure?" Robin asked, stepping closer than necessary.
"Let's bust down the door and rip him outa there!" Cyborg said, morphing his hand into his gun.
Beastboy turned into a gorilla as Robin took something sharp and shiny from his utility belt Starfire's eyes were glowing green. Right as the team was about to attack, the door creaked open, and a young boy, about one or two years older than them peered out.
"Who are you?" Robin demanded.
"I'm Jaded, and let me guess, your the welcoming committee?"
AN: Do not flame, please. This will be a BbxRae story in later chaps, so if you don't like that. Don't review, and if you must say something about them, be prepared for a retaliation. Beastboy and raven are one of My favorite couples. Mostly because of the original comics, and I, of all people, should know that history REPEATS itself. Stay 5by5! I am going to BED! It is 3:30 AM!
