Summary: A BBRae fanfic. Raven finds a spell in one of her books that will let her stop her mirror containing her emotions, but for it to work, she'll need one of her team-mates to put their emotions in it instead…

It started out as an average day. Robin was talking to Starfire while they cooked breakfast, Beast Boy and Cyborg were battling on Turbo Racer 3000, and Raven was just reading one of her books on the couch, trying to block out the noise.

This wasn't easy, as demonstrated by Cyborg when he jumped up and shouted "BOO-YAH! I WIN AGAIN! IN YOUR FACE GRASS STAIN!"

Raven sighed and got up to leave for her room.

"Where ya going Rae?" asked the defeated Beast Boy.

He got the expected answer, a sigh, and could just look as she picked up her book and left.

'What's up with her?' he thought. 'She won't even talk to me…'

He was brought back down to Earth by Cyborg, challenging him to another race, so he tried to stop thinking about Raven (unsuccessfully) and went back to playing absent-mindedly. It was hard for even HIM to concentrate, as Starfire and Bird Boy were having another little argument.

"I do not understand, you put something from the machine of refrigeration into your drink and it cooled it down well and tasted quite nice, why am I not allowed to be doing the same?" Starfire asked naively.

"Star, I was just putting an ice-cube in there. You can have an ice-cube if you want, that's what they're there for!" Robin felt like he was trying to teach quantum physics to a 5 year old.

"Why can't I have this in my drink? It came from the same freeze-box!"

"Star, that wouldn't even fit in the glass! That's a frozen pickle!"

"Would it not make my drink cooler?"

"Well yeah, a little bit, but you could just use some ice! It's smaller!"

"But would I be able to eat the ice afterwards?"

"Well no, it would melt."

"Then I choose the pickle which you speak of, that way I will have a meal as well as a refreshing drink!"

She started slicing the pickle and putting it in the glass before taking a sip…

"Robin! My drink is not so tangy and delicious now that it is cold!"

"Are you drinking mustard again?"

"Am I not supposed to?"

Robin sighed just as the race between Beast Boy and Cyborg finished.

"Boo-yah! I win again! I… ok BB, what's up?" said Cyborg, stopping his victory dance.

"What? What's wrong?" Beast Boy said defensively.

"You've been acting odd all morning. You definitely haven't been trying on the game. You're not even concentrating! Usually you accuse me of being on drugs if I win a race, which by the way, is no longer funny. There was no need for the police to get involved…"

"I'm concentrating, don't worry. Just… what's up with Raven?"

"You're STILL thinking about her? Dude, if I didn't know better I'd say you had a crush on her…"

Beast Boy blushed.

"Whoa! You really do, don't ya!"

Beast Boy looked around uncomfortably, he'd give anything for this moment to be interrupted… luckily for him, his prayers were answered and they heard a scream behind them and whirled around, which made Cyborg forget what was going on. Soon they found the cause of the scream. Robin had tried to put ice-cubes into Starfire's mustard, but she was being stubborn, so he lost his cool and started throwing them at the glass. One of them went down Starfire's back somehow, so she screamed and ran around. Robin couldn't help laughing and let a chuckle leave his mouth just before a frozen pickle came flying from the alien girl's hand and nailed him between the eyes…

"What was that about? Is he…" Cyborg stopped as he looked where Beast had been a second ago, but the green teen had taken this chance to run out of the room. He panted in the hallway for a second, then started walking back towards his room.

'I hope he forgot what we were talking about' He thought as he walked. 'If he found out I really did have a crush on Rae…' Beast Boy felt his stomach go queasy. He didn't want to know what would happen.

Beast Boy turned a corner and walked past Raven's room to get to his. His curiosity got the better of him as he knocked on the door.

"Rae? You there?" He asked.

Raven replied in her emotionless voice, "It's Raven, not Rae. What do you want?"

"You left kind of quick, are you ok?"

"I'm fine. I'm trying to read."

"Oh, ok… just remember, if you ever need to talk, I'm your friend, I'll be here."

"I'll keep that in mind if I ever want to see an annoying, snot-coloured brat!" she snapped.

"Oh… sorry."

Raven sighed as she heard Beast Boy's footsteps leaving. She didn't mean to sound that mean. It was just that he kept bugging her… he never left her alone… it was almost like he was obsessed with getting to know her better…

'Wait, does he…' Raven thought for the first time if Beast Boy maybe wanted to be more than friends... 'No. He wouldn't. He's just trying to be annoying.'

She dismissed the thought of Beast Boy from her head and went back to reading her old book. She turned the page and gasped. At the top of the page was the heading:

'PORTALS TO THE MIND AND HOW TO CONTROL THEM'
