She sat so still in the old willow tree. The park moved around her at it's daily speed but she seemed frozen in time, staring off into the sky like something extrodinary was up there. For hours she would stay in this one spot and stare and stare. She may have looked like she was waiting for something or watching for someone but no one really ever knew what the girl in purple was doing. Untill HE decided to follow her....
Raven sat at the kitchen table, munching on some crackers. Robin walked in and glanced at her breifly before turning to the fridge and pulling out a huge sandwhich. He grinned and carried it over to the table and then flopped it down. It actually shook the table.
"Robin...really?" Raven asked, a small smirk on her face as she closed the small book she had been writing in. Raven felt most comfortable around Robin, like she could really be herself. The only one she felt UNcomfortable around had to be Beast Boy. He was immature and uncaring and Raven doubted he even knew the definition of depth or the meaning of soul.
Robin nodded happily and went to get a glass of milk, leaving Raven there to roll her eyes.
"You're going to choke one day and I'm going to laugh and laugh and laugh." She said gleefully and Robin laughed as he sat back down.
"You're always so kind Raven." He replied then began chowing down on his sandwhich. Raven watched him for a moment then began writing in the small, decorated book that was on the table in front of her. They stayed like that for almost 10 minutes when suddenly Raven stood up and carried her plate to the sink.
"I'm going out." She suddenly said, her attitude much more brisk now as she headed for the door.
"Where are-" Robin's sentence was cut off by the door shutting.
Raven did this at least 5 more times that week, happily leaving in the middle of the day. Nobody noticed much difference other than Robin, who noticed EVERYTHING, and Beast Boy because he had been more interested in Raven lately. Something about her confused him greatly and he wanted to figure out what it was. Finally after watching her leave and leave and leave he decided it might be a good idea to follow her. Might be. Or it could end in death. Beast Boy shrugged and grinned, deciding that Raven couldn't KILL him an dif he got caught he'd just take the beating like a man. Or a screaming little girl. Raven had just left not even 2 minutes prior and Beast Boy sauntered towards the door, trying to act cool. Robin looked up and rolled his eyes.
"Stop trying to be sneaky and go." He said with half a grin and Beast Boy grumbled something about being the best spy if he wanted to as he slunk out the door.
15 minutes later he was following Raven through the maze of trees right outside the park and trying to decide if he really could be a spy. The huge trees, just turning a colorful aray of colors because of the beginning of fall were enticing and the wind seemed to blow perfectly through them to make a gorgeous scene enough to distract anyone. He didn't notice when Raven took a different turn and it took him nearly an hour to actually find her again after that. At this point she was up in her tree, a beautiful willow, staring at the sky once more and sighing occasionally, almost sadly even though there was a trace of a smile on her face. The look of contentness on her face was odd, almost like she had almost reached her destination and the bus was unloading. Beast Boy only found that this confused him about her even more. Both titans stayed there for two hours and then Raven got up to leave. Beast Boy followed her home just like before and was up the rest of the night trying to figure out what had actually happened that day.
"I wonder..." He sighed quietly, the words spilling out, and then finally forced himself to go to sleep. His dreams were fitfull and full of the violet haired girl, gorgeous as she always was.
The next day was uneventful and at around noon Raven left again. Beast Boy followed again as well. He was determined to find out what was really going on with her even if it killed him. And it very well might. So he followed her again, keeping quiet and staying in the form of a small pigeon the whole way untill landing in the top of her tree and watching the girl for as long as he could. Finally curiosity got the best of him and he landed on the branch beside her, cooing happily. Raven looked up, her eyes startled and deer-like, then looked angry.
"Go away Beast Boy. This is my spot." She whispered, though her voice was protective. Beast Boy shook his bird head and turned human.
"Talk to me first."
"GO AW-"
"Stop it. Stop yelling and talk to me." Beast Boy commanded, irritation lacing his voice in an odd way that didn't suit Beast Boy. Raven seemed surprisedly then alarmingly she nodded, agreeing.
"Fine. What do you want to know?" She asked softly, turning to look at the sky again.
"What are you looking for? What is so important that you come here all the time?" Beast Boy asked, his voice quiet as well so as to not disturb the delicate scene around them. Raven flinched and sighed.
"You'll think it's stupid." She replied and Beast Boy shook his head.
"I do have a caring side ya know...I'm not all good up." He said with a funny grin and Raven rolled her eyes.
"Sure."
"Really Raven...tell me." Beast Boy's voice was real now and she looked at him to see the look of a caring person.
"I'm looking...for love." She whispered and Beast Boy cocked his head in a confused way. Suddenly he leaned forward and slipped his hand onto her cheek in a loving way.
"Your looking in the wrong place then." And he turned her head to look at him.
(Aww...well i think it sucks but...YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! Review guys!!!!)
