Hey, BBRae fans! Thanks to all those who reviewed! I can't believe I got more than seven! I'm so glad you liked it!
Anyway, I obviously don't own the show. Though I do own the plot. Enjoy!
Chapter Two: Happy
The morning sun shone through the crack in Raven's heavy bedroom curtains. It trailed up to her face, and the sudden bright light made the girl awake quite suddenly.
Raven shook her head, and raised an arm to shield her eyes from the glare. Meanwhile, in her mind, she was wondering whether any of her emotions would decide to wreak havoc today.
It had been a week since Rude's little escapade, and so far, since then, Raven had been wondering who would be next. She was wary, and meditated even more than before, hoping that this would keep her emotions in check.
With a sudden groan, Raven clapped a hand to her forehead. She'd promised Starfire she'd go shopping with her today. This was not going to fun…

"Oh, look, Friend Raven, they are selling the 'cotton candy' in the 'mall of shopping'!" Starfire cried cheerfully, swooping through the air towards the mentioned stall. The vendor eagerly began preparing one for the alien princess as Raven came up behind her, sighing.
"Starfire, for the last time, you can just call it the mall," she said tiredly. Then she blinked a few times, and suddenly, her purple eyes took on a strange new glow. It was almost pinkish…
"But you know what? I think I'll have one too!" she cried delightedly, scrambling for money in her wallet.
The vendor stared at her for a moment, startled by the change in tone and attitude, but then shrugged. Either way, he was getting money.
Starfire, however, seemed to notice nothing, and clapped her hands cheerfully. "Oh, wonderful, Friend! We can enjoy them together while we visit the 'shop of clothes'!"
"Totally!" Raven squealed as the vendor handed over the treats. She paid him, and then linked arms with Starfire, who smiled, though looked a little confused.
"Shall we go now Friend?"
"Yup!" Raven replied cheerfully, and this time it was she who pulled her friend along.

"Greetings, Friends!" Starfire called as she and Raven floated through the door. "We have returned from the 'mall of shopping' and have purchased many items!"
"Sweet!" Beast Boy came running out of the main room. "Did you guys get me my…" He trailed off, his eyebrows reaching new heights as he stared at Raven. "Okay…"
"Hi Beast Boy!" Raven said happily, waving a pale hand a smiling dopily.
"Hey, Raven," Beast Boy answered cautiously. "So, did you get a new cloak or something?"
"Do you like it?" Raven twirled, and it was only then that Starfire noticed that her cloak had become a vivid pink. Her green eyes widened in shock.
"Friend! I did not realize you had purchased this garment! When did you purchase it?"
"Oh, a while back. I just never used it," Raven said with another smile. "Anyway, I'm going to go get some paper and my old crayons! I want to draw!"
She skipped off towards the stairs that led to the Titans' bedrooms as Cyborg also came out of their room, looking creeped out.
"Alright y'all, did you hear Rae say she wanted to draw to, or is this some crazy dream?"
"You heard her say it," Beast Boy confirmed, looking puzzled and frightened. "And not only that, her cloak is now bright pink."
"Pink?" Cyborg echoed incredulously. "Pink? Are you serious, man? Raven is the last girl who would wear pink!"
"It is quite puzzling, is it not?" Starfire put in, frowning.
"What's puzzling?" Robin, who had just stepped into the room, coming from the questioning room, glanced around at three of his friends, all of whom were looking either confused or scared.
"Something's wrong with Raven!" Beast Boy cried hysterically, seizing Robin's shoulders. "She's gone crazy! She's wearing pink, and she's all happy and stuff!" He shook Robin like a rag doll. "It's scary, dude! And just now, she said she wanted to draw!"
"Draw?" Robin raised an eyebrow (or at least it looked like that was what he was doing). "Are you sure she said that?"
"I found them!"
Raven skipped towards them, her cloak trailing behind her. She dangled the packet in front of them. I'm going to draw a picture of all five of us in front of the Tower!"
She smiled at them, and then bounced into the main room. Robin turned to the others, mouth half agape. "Alright then. She really did say that."
The four moved into the main room together cautiously, and all four pairs of eyes found Raven immediately, thanks to the now-vivid colouring of her cloak. She was seated on one of the chairs at the island table, crayons of all colours already scattered along the table, hunched over a piece of paper. She glanced at them as they came in, and smiled widely.
"Just you wait, guys! This picture is gonna be great!"

An hour later, Raven was done. She let out a happy cry, and called out to Beast Boy, the only one in the room.
"Hey, Beast Boy, can you get the others? I wanna show you all my awesome picture! I bet you'll LOVE it!"
Beast Boy sighed, pausing his video game, but quickly found the other three Titans. They all gathered around a beaming Raven, a little worried by her glowing expression.
"Okay," she said excitedly. "You guys better get ready for the BEST picture ever!" She clutched the flimsy piece of paper to her chest tightly, and looked around at them, a little more seriously. "Are you ready?"
Starfire nodded, Hawk and Beast Boy shrugged, and Cyborg just stared at the girl, still creeped out by her new attitude.
"Okay then, check it out!" Raven cried, and turned the paper around to show them, and four jaws dropped, practically hitting the ground in shock.

The sky was a blue strip at the top, and just underneath that was a yellow sun, with orange rays and black sunglasses, as well as a grin. The Tower was a scribbled 'T' shape, and the grass was a circle around it, with darker blue around it, presumably the water that surrounded the Titans' home.
All five of the Titans in the drawing were pretty accurate, apart from a few things: Starfire's hair reached her feet; Raven's reached her waist; Beast Boy had huge ears; Robin had hair that was so spiky that it looked like it could kill if he touched someone with it. And even Raven was smiling.
"Isn't it great?" Raven asked, smiling, as the others stared, still shocked.
Suddenly, she shook her head, blinking a few times. Her cloak faded back to its usual navy blue, and her eyes dimmed a little, the strange glow disappearing slowly as she shook her head again. Seeming to snap out her daze, her gaze landed on her four dumbstruck friends, who were staring at the picture in her hands. She pulled it back to look at it, and then glanced up at them, scowling.
"Okay. What the hell happened?"
Ha-ha, poor Rae. Whatever shall she do? Find out next time, folks!
I hope you liked it, and please review!
