Raven woke up before the sun as always and noticed that Shadow wasn't in the bed with her. She hurried out of the bed to get dressed she ran into the common room of the tower to se if she would be out there but wasn't, She went on the roof and her there. Before she could say anything Shadow spoke first.
"Beautiful morning isn't it?" She asked as she sat on the edge of the roof to where her feet where dangling off the edge.
"Yeah it is" Raven replied walking over to her and standing next to her. "I was scared at first…when I saw you weren't…next to me when I woke up" She added looking out to the rising sun.
"I'm sorry" Shadow replied putting her hand on Raven's. "But I always like to watch the sun rise" She said with a small smile. "It's the one thing that gave me hope that I would see you again" She added looking over at Raven and smiled. Raven smiled back and tightened her grip on Shadow's hand. Shadow pulled Raven closer and held her in a tight hug and let out a deep sigh. 'If only you knew' She thought to herself.
"What's wrong?" Raven asked as she pulled out of the hug.
"Nothing" Shadow replied with a fake smile.
"Why wont you talk to me?" Raven asked with a serious look on her face and crossed her arms over her chest. Shadow sighed and turned towards the sun.
"Because there is nothing to talk about," She replied.
"I might have been away from you for 3 years but I know you better then that…and I can tell there is something bothering you"
"It's nothing I'm just thinking too much is all" Shadow said as she got up and stood on the edge of the tower looking like she was ready to jump.
"What are you doing?" Raven asked running over to her. Shadow didn't reply she only jumped as Raven watched her fall. Raven was just about to jump after her when she saw Shadow rise into the sky.
"What's the matter little bird did you think I had forgotten how to fly?" Shadow asked sarcastically. Raven only stared with her jaw wide open. It took her a few seconds to regain her thoughts.
"I'm going to hurt you," She yelled as she flew after Shadow. Shadow smiled and flew away from Raven so she couldn't catch her.
"You have to catch me first" She said sticking out her tongue as she laughed. Raven couldn't help but smile. It was stuff like this that reminded her of being with Shadow all those years ago. They chased each other for a good 30 to 45 minutes before Shadow finally got tired and landed on the roof of the mall. "Ok I give up you win" She said lying on the roof.
"As always" Raven replied with a smile. Shadow got up and sat on the edge of the mall.
"Yeah, yeah you only won all those times cause I let you" Shadow said sarcastically.
"Mhm you keep telling yourself that" Raven replied with a smile.
"Hey you know what we should do," Shadow said looking down
"What?" Raven asked looking down to see what she was looking at.
"We should go to the mall and hang out or watch a movie and go out to dinner or something" She replied looking back at Raven.
"I'm not much of a mall…"
"Please?" Shadow pleaded as she did her best impression of the puppy dog pout as she could.
"Don't do that you know I hate that," Raven said looking away. Shadow moved in front of her and continued to pout. "Come on stop"
"I'll only stop if you say yes," Shadow said as she tried to pout without laughing.
"Alright fine I'll go now stop before I slap that look off your face" Raven replied fighting back a smile. Shadow's pout was replaced with a smiled.
"Thank you" She said taking Raven's hand and walked off the roof both of them landing safely on the ground. "I need to go buy some clothes and then after we can go back to the tower, change and go to a movie," She said looking at Raven. "I mean if that's ok with you" She added.
"Yeah that sound's fine…but I have one stipulation...you let me pick out the outfit that you are going to wear tonight" She said with a smirk. Causing Shadow to blush a bright red.
"Um…Ok…"Was all she could seem to say. They walked hand in hand earning some stares and whispers from the people who saw. Raven noticed and it kind of bugged her but when she looked at Shadow the other people seemed to disappear. They stopped at the Hot Topic and Raven picked out a pair of tight black jeans with red tanktop. "This looks stupid" Shadow remarked as she looked at herself in the full length mirror. "These make my butt look big" she added holding her hand to her butt. Raven couldn't help but laugh. "What's so funny?" Shadow asked turning to Raven.
"Your butt look's fine and so do you" She replied with a smile. It was Shadow's turn to blush.
"Thank you Rea" Shadow said finally getting herself together. Shadow paid for the outfit and a few others that she picked out herself and the two left to go back to the tower and get ready for there 'unofficial date' as Shadow thought of it.
"Are you almost done yet?" Raven asked through her bathroom door. "Where gonna miss the movie if you done hurry up" She added leaning on the door. Shadow opened the door a few minutes later coming out in a different outfit then one Raven had picked for her. She was in a black and red chekred skirt that was about half an inch above her knees, a long sleeve fishnet shirt, and a red short sleeve shirt over it.
"I hope you don't mind but I thought I would wear this outfit instead" She said with a smile and she walked over to Raven.
"I don't mind at all" Raven replied smiling back. She couldn't help but stare. 'Wow she look's really hot in that...wait what...no shut up Raven' She though as she shook her head.
"You ok Rea?"
"Yeah I'm fine...come on if we don't leave now we are gonna be late" She replied grabbing Shadow's hand and pulling her out the window.
"Why are we using the window there is this new invention it's called a door" Shadow said sarcastically.
"Because if we use the door Robin will ask where we are going and I don't wanna deal with him right now I just wanna go out and have fun with you" Raven replied looking her door with her powers and shutting the window.
"What's so special about bird brain I mean what 'superhero' call's himself Robin when he's a dude I mean is it just me or dose that seem a little...off?" Shadow asked making weird face's as she talked about Robin making Raven giggle a little. "I mean seriously the dude could be gay for all we know and that Slade guy that he's so obsessed with maybe they have something going on behind closed door's that would be so friken funny" She added laughing as she continued to ramble on.
"Do you like him or something?" Raven asked randomly while Shadow continued to ramble on about the possibility's of Robin and Slade being together.
"Um what?" Shadow asked a bit surprised.
"Robin do you like him?" Raven asked again while they waited in line for there ticket's.
"HELL NO" Shadow screamed loudly causing everyone to look. Raven put her hand over Shadow's mouth.
"Ok I was just asking you don't have to be so loud about it"
"Me no likey sausage" Shadow said laughing wondering if Raven would get the joke.
"You are one perverted little girl" She said turning away from Shadow trying to hide a smile.
"You know you like it" Shadow said in a funny voice as she to poked Raven.
"True I mean after all it is your dirty mind that makes you, you and I wouldn't want you any other way" Raven replied grabbing Shadow's hand's to make her stop poking her.
"Awwww Raven I had no idea you had such strong feelings for me" Shadow said jokingly, moving her hand's in Raven's so they where lacing fingers. Raven smiled and playfully pulled Shadow closer to her moving her hand's to her hip's. Noticing the blush on Shadow's face she leaned in close to her ear.
"You know you like it" She whispered. "I guess it's my turn to make you blush" She added as she started laughing. Shadow stood there with her jaw to the floor. She glared at Raven and then turned her back to her.
"You are so evil"
"Yeah I know but you love every minute of it" Raven replied putting her hand's on Shadow's hip's and her chin on her shoulder. Shadow sighed and put her hand's on Raven's.
"You do know that there are other people her right?" Shadow asked in a low voice almost a whisper. "And that they are staring right now" She added. Raven looked around and saw that everyone was in fact staring at the two of them. She closed her eye's and laet out a small sigh.
"Let um stare there just jealous" She replied smiling. Shadow smiled back and pulled Raven along with her as the approached the ticket seller. Raven paid for the tickets and got a soda and some popcorn. They sat in the back of theater alone cause everyone was to scared to sit next to them. They held hand's during the whole movie but didn't speak to each other at all. When it was over they waited tell everyone was gone to leave. They walked out still holding hand's.
"Hey there is this place I wanna show you" Shadow said out fo the blue pulling Raven in the opposite direction.
"Alright lead the way" They walked for 30 minute's before Shadow stopped."What's wrong?".
"Where here now close your eye's" She replied with a smile. Raven was confused but did as she was asked. Shadow took her hand and pulled her through the forest tell the reached the middle where there was an opening to where you could see the night sky so perfectly. In front of them stood a big lake with a waterfall on the side coming down from one of the shorter mountains. It was all surrounded by trees and grass. "Ok you can open them now" . Raven opened here eye's and was shocked at the sight of the beautiful place.
"Shadow this place is so...perfect"
