"Beep… Beep… Beep… Beep…"
Raven was awoken by her alarm clock and quickly shut it off using her powers. Not wanting to get up for the day, she snuggled back into her bed and was drifting back to sleep when she realized that she promised Beast Boy that she would spend the day with him. The dark teen looked at her clock. 6:03 am. She sighed and got up. She knew she had a long day ahead of her and had to get a lot of meditation in before she did anything else. Raven walked across her room and got her towel and a fresh uniform and headed towards the bathroom to shower.
As Raven stepped in the shower and turned it on, she started making a list of what she needed to do today. After I get dressed I need to brush my teeth and then make my bed. Now that I think about it, my room may need a dusting… Raven started shampooing her hair. Now where do we keep the cleaning supplies again? Do we even have any? The only reason we haven't died pilled under our own garbage is because Silkie eats most of it… We really need to start cleaning the tower. Raven shut off the shower and stepped out. As she was drying herself off, she heard her stomach growl and frowned. Well cleaning can wait until I get something to eat. Or maybe just something to drink… Tea sounds nice. Raven was now fully dressed and just finished brushing her teeth. As she walked out of the bathroom, she couldn't help but wonder what torture Beast Boy was going to put her through today. I swear if he drags me to the arcade I will-
"Oooof," said Raven as she hit the floor. As she sat up and rubbed her head, she looked around to see what tripped her. There, sitting in the middle of the hallway, was none other than Silkie sleeping. "Well this is just the beginning of a bad day," muttered Raven as she got up and half-walked half-floated the rest of the way to the Ops room.
When she walked in the room, she noticed the TV was still on and walked over to turn it off. She walked right past the couch, not even noticing the sleeping Beast Boy lying there. As she picked up the remote and went to hit the power button, her finger slipped and hit the volume button instead. To Beast Boy's misfortune, at that exact moment a commercial for a monster truck rally came on, which caused the room to blast with noise and make the green boy wake up screaming. Raven, being startled both by the noise and the presence of Beast Boy, screamed and ended up making the cushion that Beast Boy was laying on explode, thus sending Beast Boy soaring halfway across the room and almost through a window.
Raven was in shock and could only stand there with her mouth hanging open. While Raven was standing there, not knowing what to do, Beast sat up and saw Raven and said, "Jeez, Rae. You could have said 'wake up' instead of blasting me across the room…"
Raven having finally regained the ability to move said, "No, I didn't mean to do that! The TV scared me and which caused my powers to blow up the cushion you were sitting on and…"
"It's okay, Raven. I was only joking," Beast Boy chuckled. He then looked at the clock and noticed the time. "What are doing up so early, it's 6:30?" questioned Beast Boy. Without giving her a chance to reply, Beast Boy smirked and said, "Oh I know. You just couldn't wait to spend the day with me, could you? So tell me, Rae. Which won you over, the pointy ears and overwhelmingly good looks or my amazingly wonderful personality?" While looking at the cocky expression on Beast Boy's face, Raven couldn't help but think, Oh damn, I was right. It's going to be a very, very bad day.
It was now 11:13 and Raven was ready to hit her head against the table. She was sitting at the table drinking her now cold tea, while listening to Beast Boy blabber on about who knows what. Raven sighed and looked around the empty room. Of course, today had to be the one day that Robin finally grows a pair and asked Starfire out and for Cyborg to have to go to Titans East to fix their security system on the same day. Thus, leaving me here. Alone. With him. For the whole day. I know I wanted to spend time with him to figure out my feelings, but I thought there would be other people here to also keep him occupied.
Beast Boy finally noticed that Raven wasn't paying attention and stopped talking. Upon hearing no talking Raven looked back at Beast Boy and gave him a questioning look.
"You really don't want to be here, do you?" asked Beast Boy.
"Well I'm not very fond of listening to someone talk about how they think they created a fungus monster in the pig sty they call a room," replied Raven.
"Oh. Well, we could do something that you like. Do you want to go somewhere?" Honestly, Beast Boy would do anything she told him to. He just wanted to be around her.
Raven thought for a moment. There was that poetry reading that I wanted to go to…
"Well, at my café there is supposed to be a poetry reading," stated Raven.
"Cool! We can go there! Come on!" yelled Beast Boy as he dragged her out the door. Once they were outside Raven started to levitate off the ground, getting ready to fly. When she realized the Beast Boy was still on the ground she gave him a questioning look.
"Well, actually Raven," Beast Boy stated nervously as he played with his hands, "I was kind of thinking we could, you know, walk there and… talk." Beast Boy's face was a bright red, which stood out against his green skin color.
"Oh… okay," said Raven as she landed back on the ground and started walking. Beast Boy then ran up to walk next to her. There was dead silence. Beast Boy stared at the ground trying to think of something to say. Come on you idiot. You were talking her head off earlier, why can't you say something now?! While Beast Boy was mentally scolding himself, Raven couldn't help but feel the embarrassment radiating off of him.
"So…" said Raven, trying to break the awkward silence, "How do you think Robin and Starfire's date is going?"
Beast boy, relieved that Raven had broken the awkward atmosphere replied, "Knowing Robin, he probably went all out. I bet you he even rented a limo for her. And now he is probably staring at her drooling while she fawns over something like liquid butter."
Raven couldn't help but smile at how realistic Beat Boy's prediction probably was. She could just imagine them at the movies, Starfire being extremely loud, attracting a lot of attention as she tells Robin how glorious the liquefied butter was. She would then start to drink it from the little pump and Robin would dumbly nod, not even noticing what she was doing until minutes later because he was too busy staring at her. Raven chuckled at the thought, but regretted it when the lamppost they were passing started melting.
Beast Boy who was watching Raven the whole time couldn't believe it. "I did it! I made you laugh! And I wasn't even trying! YES!" screamed Beast Boy and started dancing around, celebrating. The pair was now getting a lot of stares, so Raven grabbed Beast Boy's hand and pulled him into the café that they just arrived at.
"Will you stop acting like an idiot?! This isn't a play ground…" grumbled Raven as she walked toward a table to sit down. Beast Boy looked around and just realized that they were at the café.
"Yes, ma'am!" yelled Beast Boy as he sat across from her at the table. As soon as they sat down, Beast Boy saw a young waiter come over and smiled at Raven. He had spiked black hair, like Robin's but shorter. His eyes were a piercing blue and were clearly outlined with black eyeliner. His nose was a bit crooked and had thin, but cherry red lips. His well-toned body was outlined clearly by his tight black shirt and purple skinny jeans. Is he wearing… girl jeans? questioned Beast Boy in his head.
"Hey, Raven. You here for the poetry reading?" asked the girl-pant-wearing boy with a smile. Beast Boy did not like that flirty tone he was using.
"Yes, I've been looking forward to it all week. Will you be reading today, Ethan?" asked Raven in a less cold tone than when she is talking to Beast Boy.
"Yeah, I've been working it in for a while. I hope you'll like it… Hey, I've meaning to ask you something…" Beast Boy did not like where this conversation was going. "Um, I was wondering if you wanted to-"
"HI THERE. I'M BEAST BOY. NICE TO MEET YOU. ETHAN WAS IT?" yelled Beast Boy as he jumped up and stood in front of Raven.
Ethan looked about ready to kill the green boy. "Um, yeah," said Ethan clearly annoyed.
"So how do you know Raven, Ethan?" asked Beast Boy with false interest.
"She's a regular here. So Raven, anyways-"
"Oh that's interesting. I live with Raven, you know, in the big T-shaped tower over there," said Beast Boy pointing out the window. "We're Teen Titans, if you didn't already know that. So, Ethan, how often do you get to see Raven?"
"Um, once or twice a week, but-"
"That's too bad. I get to see her every day. Her room is just down the hall from mine-"
"BEAST BOY! Will you shut up already? You don't need to be telling everybody my personal information," seethed Raven. "Sorry, Ethan. Anyways, I'll have my regular and get this pinhead over here a hot chocolate."
"Sure thing, Raven," said Ethan with a smile. He then looked at Beast Boy and frowned and walked away. As he walked away, Beast Boy stuck his tongue out and then mutter, "Girl-pant-wearing prick." Raven banged her head against the table wishing for today to be over already. She looked at the clock in the café. 12:29. Only a couple more hours, hang in there Raven…
