Chapter 6:

Sleep Already Cathy!

Tap...Tap...Tap...

Sam tapped her pencil borringly on the dining table of the RA mansion. Cathy groaned as she flopped half of her body over the couch in the family room, which was connected to the dining room. The clock continued to ding ding dong throughout the entire house. Cathy sighed. "You know Sam, me and Isabella have gotten close, and I want to be close to all of you." Sam rose an eyebrow. "Is that so?" Cathy nodded and looked up at the roof that stretched far beyond the floor. "Yeah, and you and Raven are so dark...so why don't me and you play a prank on her, you know, to bond?" Sam didn't like the idea of bonding very much, but she was bored and a prank seemed like a good way to start the afternoon. "Okay."

"So you place the bucket on the door-" Sam interupted Cathy. "I've done this before. I know what I'm doing." Cathy shrugged and set the book down. "Okay then." Sam and Cathy froze as they heard humming down the hallway. "Ohhh no! Cathy! Run!" Sam whispered, gipping her arm and running. "I'd love to, but it seems as though somebody's already got that covered!" Cathy hissed. The two of them took cover behind the couch.

Raven walked down the halls, humming a song. She didn't know why she was humming, she just was. She felt stiff. She had spent all morning meditating because she felt like somebody was out to get her. Sighing, Raven walked through the door to her bedroom and-SMASH! Down came a bucket of water, spilling all over her while the bucket landed over her head. Cathy and Sam started to giggle behind the couch, contaning their true, real laughter. Raven growled, lifting the bucket off of her head just a tiny bit. "Who's back there?!" She demanded. Cathy and Sam started to burst out laughing as they fell backwards, revealing half of their bodies from the cough. "S-S-SORRY Raven it's just-I've never p-p-played a p-p-PRANK before!" The blonde apologized. "You have to sleep sometime." Raven hissed, throwing the bucket at Sam, who was still laughing. With that, the titan stomped off into her bathroom. Cathy had stopped laughing at this and had a terrified look on her face. Sam stopped laughing, noticing her partner's abrupt stop in laughter.

"Cathy?"

"She's right...I DO have to sleep sometime! And then...and then she'll..." The rhapsodian started to bite her nails at the thoughts popping into her mind. Sam rose an eyebrow. "Cathy...it's just an expression." She looked at Sam. "I know..." Sam rose an eyebrow. "Then what are you so worried abou-"

"IT'S AN EXPRESSION OF PURE REVENGE! SHE'S GOING TO KILL ME!" Sam cramed her hand over Cathy's lips. "Cathy, this is Hollywood, the crime rate is way up compared to where we used to live! If you don't want Raven arrested for no apperent reason, keep quiet!" Cathy nodded and ran out of the room. Sam watched her go as she, herself, slowly walked out of Raven's room. "What planet are you from that you don't know what an expression is?"

Three days had passed sense that incident, and the girls in the RA mansion were starting to get worried. Very, worried. Isabella and Sam watched as Cathy sat on the couch in the family room, bags upon bags under her eyes. The actual eyes were bloodshot. It was offical. Cathy had not slept in three days. "Cathy...don't you want to go take a nap on that comfortable couch you're sitting on?"

"Nope." Came the blonde's paranoid voice. It was shaky and a bit loud.

Sam looked at Isabella's reaction as her attempt failed. This was when she decided to try. "Cathy...why don't you go to bed?"

"Nope." Came that voice again. They both looked at each other, both of their attempts had failed. Raven had not seen this, she had not come out of her room and her door was locked. "Maybe I can try." Renge said. "Oh Cathy! Why don't you lay back in the recliner chair over there? It's very nice to sit on-"

"Nope." Renge fell to the floor anime style. Kitty shrugged. "Guess it's my turn!"

The mutant walked over to Cathy. "Why arn't you sleeping?"

Cathy looked at her from the corner of her eye before looking back in front of herself and shaking. Kitty narrowed her eyes and sucked in her cheeks. "Well?"

"Raven...scary...Raven...sleep...sometime...no...never...revenge..." the bruentte was taken aback and slowly stepped back towards the others. Sam rose an eyebrow. "Cathy...it was an expression..."

"OF REVENGE!!!" Cathy screeched as she jumped onto the chandelire. Renge moaned and faceplamed her head. "No...not that kind of expression, Cathy." Isabella stated calmly, her own eyes narrowing. Cathy gasped as she looked down at her fellow housemates. "Oh no..." She spoke. "OH NO!"

"What?!" Kitty asked.

"YOU'RE THE EVIL MUSHROOM PEOPLE WHO DESTROYED MY HAPPY FRIES!"

Question marks popped up over each of the four girls' heads. "YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME ALIVE!!!" The blonde jumped to the next chandelire and the next, then the next. In a few seconds, she was climbing to each one like some type of monkey on sterroids. "Uhh, is that normal?" Renge asked. "For people who sleep on a daily basis, no. For people who have something wrong with them and they choose not to sleep-YES!" Isabella answered. Cathy was now starting to make some type of monkey sound as she hopped from light to light. "Should we...do something?" Renge asked. Isabella shrugged in response while Sam decided to vocally answer. "Yes...but we won't."

"Why?" Kitty questioned.

"Because this is something we need Raven to fix." Sam answered crossly.

A few minutes later, Kitty was hollaring downstairs at Cathy while she swang across still. Sam took a look at the two of them and sighed, shaking her head back and forth. She reached up and knocked on the door. No response. Isabella knocked. No response. Renge knocked. No response. By this time, all three girls were banging wildly on the door, screaming "RAVEN! RAVEN OPEN UP!" After a few seconds of that, the dark girl finally opened up. "WHAT?" The three girls started trying to explain it, but it only gave Raven a headache. "Alright, alright!!! One at a time!"

"You remember when me and Cathy pulled that prank on you, right?" Sam started while Raven nodded.

"And you said that we'd have to sleep sometime, right?" Raven nodded again.

"Well Cathy is scared out of her wits, worried that you're going to try something on her when she sleeps." Isabella screeched. "She hasn't slept in days!"

Raven rose an eyebrow. "And you want me to set her straight, right?"

"YES!" Renge howled. "Fine..."

The five girls walked down the stairs, Kitty still yelling at Cathy. "What are you yelling at her for?" Raven quizzed. "You'll see when we get downstairs." Kitty answered.

And Raven did indeed see. She saw Cathy acting like a wild animal. Her jaw slightly dropped and she shook her head. "STOP IT!!!!" Cathy looked at the teen titan and screamed, fear running through her veins. "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Raven sighed. "I'm not going to hurt you. I've already gotten my revenge." The five girls looked at her. "WHAT?!"

"She hasn't slept for three days in fear of ME. I think that's revenge enough for a bucket of water on my head." Raven explained, pointing to her head. Cathy dropped her grasp on the chandelire and let herself fall. This caused the five girls to scream in terror before Cathy landed safely on her feet. She shrugged. "It's something that I do." With that, she walked over to the couch and dropped down, slipping into a peaceful sleep.
