Prologue
"I saw it again, this morning, at first I thought it was just a shadow but then I realized that it was lurking around every corner," Here she stifled a sob. "I started running and I spotted a store so I ran it and everyone was looking at me as though they thought I was some psycho escaping out of the crazy house so I stopped running. I walked quickly out of the back door to the store and I went to the closest alley and I flew back here, well I guess you could say I floated, but you get the point, I hope?"
"Well, yeah I do. I mean why wouldn't I get your point?" I asked her, but she was not listening. I could tell by the look on her face that she had not heard a word I had said.
"Honey!" I said, snapping her out of her thoughtful state and brought me back to reality.
"Yes?" She quickly asked back.
"Well what I was going to ask you before you went off to lala land is insignificant now, so I will ask a different question. Why did not you wake me up earlier?"
"Well I did not want to wake you up because you looked so cute sleeping and dreaming about me," mimicking my voice, she repeated what I had said when I was sleeping," My heart, of course I love you!" switching back to her voice, "Sound familiar?" she asked, beaming at me.
But Beast Boy was not thinking about what she was asking him, he was thinking about a particularly pretty girl who was wearing a sexy blue nightgown that he had bought her, and had silky purple hair that cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall, and a lovely mouth when she actually smiled, and a lacy …no. I must stop thinking about her, or else my newly found wife will be my newly found ex wife. "Terra, maybe you should lie down, honey."
"Oh, okay…" she said, confusion shining in her eyes.
'She was so god damn sexy...' "I was not dreaming about you." I mumbled, not thinking.
"Then tell me who you were dreaming about!"
"Well, maybe I was, but just a little bit." I said, hoping she would drop the subject.
"And what the hell is that supposed to mean, huh?"
"Umm..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Raven~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Choking on her tears, the purple-haired beauty wiped her eyes trying to stop the waves of emotion racking her body. A knock on the door forced her to climb out from under the covers and go to the door. She kept her hood on, hiding her puffy, red eyes.
"Raven, Robin wants everyone in the kitchen A-S-A-P." Starfire said with a huge smile.
"Alright, thanks for letting me know. I'll be down in a minute." Raven spoke, surprised her voice didn't give away to her inner turmoil but what did she expect after hiding it for so long. How did that old saying go? Oh yeah… 'Practice makes perfect'. She exhaled softly, as Starfire's excited footsteps faded."I wonder what's got her so excited." Raven thought, aloud. She grabbed a couple tissues, and dried her cheeks and blew her nose.
A flashback of Beast Boy's face, excited about some stupid video-game flashed through her head and she dug her fingernails into her palm, to remind herself that now wasn't the time to remember him. She had long since given up on the idea of trying to stop thinking about him at night. He haunted her dreams. She shook her head, causing purple to swish back and forth as she stared at herself in the mirror. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before leaving.
Raven walked out of her room and down the hall, following Starfire's chatter into the kitchen. Cyborg was in the fridge and Robin was grinning for once. He seemed to be as excited as Starfire, although there was a bit of nervousness as he glanced up at her. Raven gave a small smile back to him before asking, "So, what's the impromptu meeting all about?" He blushed and Starfire seemed to be trying to contain her happiness. Something caught Raven's eyes, and she blinked before she looked down, seeing the diamond on Star's finger catching the morning sun's light.
She suddenly understood, and dug her fingernails into her palm until she knew there would be little crescent moon cuts and pasted a huge smile on her face."Congratulations to you both, Robin and Starfire. So, have you set a date?"
Hearing this, Cyborg's eyes seemed to be pop out of his head as he turned to a now bright-red Robin. "You're engaged?"
Robin nodded and then cleared his throat. "Yes, and I would love it if you could be my best man, since Beast Boy is always busy with Terra. I just thought…" Robin paused, and he looked over at Raven, his eyes showing guilt for speaking of the grinned and he turned back to Cyborg.
"Yes, I'll be your best man, Robin."
Robin smiled and pulled his new fiancee over for a mind-blowing and passionate kiss. Raven looked away and while Cyborg hugged Robin and Starfire, she slipped out into the hallway and made her way back to her bedroom. Lying on her bed, Raven let the memories replay in her mind as tears began their descent once more.
