Raven moaned as the sun ran in her face. She scrunched her eyes shut tight and pulled the covers over her head. 'Did I forget to close my curtains again?' she thought. Blinking her eyes open she pushed the covers down and sat up, rubbing her eyes.
It took her a moment to register that the room wasn't her own but in fact, Beast boy's.
"Morning Rae." Startled, Raven jumped and looked behind her where the voice came from. Beast boy was sitting on the bed, reading a book. She sat up fully and rubbed her eyes. "What time is it?" she asked.
"A little after 9." he responded. "I've never seen you sleep that long."
"Where did you sleep last night?" she asked.
He gave her a lopsided grin. "Do you really wanna know?" She paled slightly and he laughed. "I slept on the floor."
She frowned. "Why didn't you just wake me up and tell me to go in my own room?"
"What, and miss the fun of teasing you? Nah, I don't care. You looked really tired so I left ya." he said, putting a book mark in his book and setting it to one side of his bed.
She pondered this for a moment before laying back down with her back to him. "Night then."
"Hey, what do you think your doing?" he asked, moving slightly closer to her.
"Well, I'm tired, your bed is extremely comfortable, and I never get to sleep in." she replied with a slight yawn.
He grinned and laid down behind her, wrapping his arm around her waist and cuddling close. "Fine, but I'm staying." he said quietly in her ear.
She blushed and a few books fell off his shelf. "Uh... I think I'll go get some breakfast now." she pulled away from his embrace and quickly exited his room. Leaning against his door, her heart hammering slightly,she pushed down her feelings and continued on to the kitchen to get some tea.
"here's Johnny!"
"Your going down!" Robin said. Around 5pm, the Titans alarm went off and they rushed down town where Johnny Rancid had unleashed a new mechanical beast. This time, it was a frog.
"Don't get all hopping mad on me now." he laughed. "Look, I got lame punch lines too!"
It wasn't long before the mechanical menace was gone and Johnny Rancid was out cold by a well placed hit from Starfire that slammed him into a stone wall.
"Well, that was rather uneventful." Beast boy said as they walked back into the Tower, each Titan having only a few scrapes and bruises that were easily taken care of.
He plopped down onto the couch and Cyborg as well as Jinx joined him. Starfire grabbed a tape and when the others saw it, they started getting up.
She noticed this. "Do not worry, it is not a movie of love. It is 'Wicked Scary IV!"
Beast boy instantly shot up. "Dude, you got it! Awesome!"
Raven sat down next to beast boy as Starfire put in the movie. Beast boy leaned over and whispered softly. "If you get scared, you can always hold my hand." he chuckled slightly when she glared at him.
The others settled down and the movie began.
3 ½ hours later.
Starfire clung to Robin, both had wide eyes and Jinx was sitting in Cyborg's lap, her face turned away from the screen.
Raven, beast boy noticed with happiness, was clinging onto him. That had been, by far, the scariest, 'Wicked Scary' ever made.
Just then, the doorbell rang, startling everyone. Raven, who recovered the fastest, got up and answered it.
"I have a delivery of roses for a Miss Raven." The man said, holding a dozen roses.
"I..I'm Raven." He held out a clipboard for her to sign and gave her the roses.
"Thank you." he turned and headed back for the boat that had taken him to the tower.
Raven shut the door and turned back to where the others were staring at her.
"Ooh, who they from Raven?" Cyborg asked teasingly.
She blushed and a few dishes broke in the kitchen. "No one." she muttered before taking them to her room. Once in the safety of her room, did she check the card that came with it.
I hope I don't embarrass you. It only seems appropriate sending you these for your new vase.
Your secret admirer
She smiled and put them in her vase. 'Now it doesn't look so empty.' A knock came at her door and she opened it a crack. Beast boy stood in the door with his hands in his pockets.
"Hey." he said.
"Hey, something wrong?" she asked.
"No, I was just wondering if you could listen to a song I did last night after you fell asleep." he said, holding out a cd.
"Sure. Come in." She took the cd and put it in her stereo and pressed play. A slow, beautiful song came on. He had mixed the different sounds from the keyboard to make it sound like a huge band.
"Wow, it's great Gar!" Raven said, turning back to him. He smiled.
"Thanks." the music continued to play. "You wanna dance?" he asked quietly.
"I... don't know. I mean, what if something breaks?" she said nervously.
He took her hand and pulled her a little closer. "That's alright. I think you can do it." He smiled his toothy grin and she complied.
He pulled her closer and wrapped his arms around her waist while she slipped hers around his neck. They started dancing.
"See, no big deal." he said.
"Yeah." she replied quietly, very unlike herself.
They continued to dance before the music faded into silence. Raven pulled away and retrieved his cd. "Your really good Gar, you should share this with the others."
"Actually, I was going to slip it into the stereo during the party. I hope it goes over well." he rubbed the back of his neck.
She gave him a small smile. "I'm sure it will. Speaking of which, we only have two more days till the party. I should go talk to Robin and see if he's called anyone yet."
Beast boy nodded. "Alright. I'm going to fine tune this." he held up the cd. "I can hear some noises in the background." They headed out towards the lounge, Beast boy bade her goodbye as he entered his room.
"Hey Gar, don't be a stranger." she said with a small smile. "Don't become me and lock yourself in your room all the time."
He laughed. "I'll remember that." he turned into his room and the door shut behind him.
Raven continued on down the hallway to the lounge where the others sat eating dinner.
"Hey Rae, come an eat." Cyborg said while wolfing down a meal the consisted of beef teriyaki, fried rice, and fried potatoes.
"I'm not very hungry, but thanks anyways. Robin, have you called anyone yet?" She asked.
Robin shook his head. "We finished off the list though, we have two pages so you and Star will probably have to go get more food."
Raven nodded. "We'll do that tomorrow and we can start on the list as well. Cyborg or even I can take one page and you do the other." She looked at Cyborg who nodded. "Just put a check by the person's name."
Raven made some of her tea and leaned against the counter. "So, we have the music, were getting more food, better wait to do that after we know who's coming, streamers can be put up the day after tomorrow..."
"And then we have the party the day after that!" Starfire exclaimed happily.
Raven nodded with a small smile on her face. She put her empty cup in the sink and washed it out before heading towards the stairwell that led to the roof leaving the other's voices behind as she entered the crisp night air.
She sighed and got into her meditating position and started chanting.
"So, will you go out with me Jinx?" Cyborg sighed as he examined himself in the mirror and practiced asking Jinx out.
"She'll never go out with me." he muttered.
"You should ask her before you gt yourself down." He jumped around. "Jinx! Er.. How long have you ben standing there?" he asked nervously.
"Long enough." she smiled and walked over to where he stood and leaned against his desk. "Something you want to ask me?"
"Uh.." Cyborg gulped. "Will... will... yougooutwithme?" he asked rather quickly.
Jinx smiled and hugged him. "Of course I will." she said quietly.
Cyborg smiled and kissed her cheek. "Your awesome Jinx." he whispered.
She smirked. "I know."
"Sooo, do you want to go anywhere?" Cyborg asked awkwardly.
"We could just sit in here and talk." Jinx said, sitting on his bed.
Cyborg smiled."That would be...fun." he sat next to her and they started talking well into the night.
Raven had a hard time falling asleep that night. Details of the party kept running through her mind and whenever she was close enough to falling asleep, somthing else would pop into her head.
'grr, why can't I sleep!' She thought furiously, turning over once again. She stared at her ceiling for no one knows how long. Finally, she drifted off into sleep when a soft melody from a piano drifted into her room.
