...sigh... Periodical Emotions is coming to its end… This will be one of the last chapters. I feel kinda sad, but when I'm done with this story I can finally say I finished my 1st story. I have two stories planned out already; one's a Teen Titans fic, and the others an Inuyasha fic. I'm not starting them till I'm done w/ this one though…
Review Responses!
xXBaby05XxBBRJE06- 'Things Change' seemed kinda sad to me, because Terra was pretending she didn't know Beast Boy. But I still didn't get how she came back to life.
p.s. I like your new s/n Dejah!
Regrem Erutaerc- But isn't Trigon completely evil? Thanks, and good luck with your story!
DarkMoonFang- Sorry to hear about the problem with your computer. sniff I'll try to resend the email I sent you. Xd Dream Guy sounds like a good idea and it would be the perfect thing to make Beast Boy jealous, but many people have told me that Raven has only 8 emotions; Affection, Happy, Timid, Anger, Knowledge, Wisdom and Rude. Sorry about that… p.s. I thought of an idea for a new Inuyasha story!
Chapter 9 of Periodical Emotions
'What's taking Beast Boy so long?' Raven asked herself sighing quietly as she wrapped bandages around Affection's wounded arm. She now wished she had gone with the others instead of staying behind with Affection.
Raven sighed, it couldn't be helped.
"What's wrong, Raven?" Affection asked looking up at her.
A tick mark appeared on Raven's forehead, apparently she had not sighed quietly enough.
"Nothing…" murmured Raven trying to change the subject, "Turn your arm over so I can finish wrapping the other side and then we'll be done."
Knowing she was hiding something, Affection looked into Raven's mind using her psychic powers. She couldn't help feeling a little guilty; usually Raven prohibited them from using their powers to their own advantage, but this time was different. This time Raven's love life was now at stake.
Affection could see that Raven was worried about Beast Boy and that thought alone gave her a sudden bout of hope (and a few lecherous thoughts) as a smile spread across her face, 'It's about time things started heating up….' she thought to herself, '…and I know just the way to do it.'
But sadly, here in Nevermore, emotional thoughts didn't usually come without consequences, and this time was no exception.
With Affection's sudden boost of power came two consequences.
First off, all of the emotion's already short and revealing outfits……got even shorter and more revealing…
As she walked through the forest along with Beast Boy and the other emotions, Happy's miniskirt shrunk a few inches shorter, now barely covering her pink underwear.
Beast Boy, who happened to be walking right behind her saw this, and turned bright red before emitting a strange, and high mouse-like squeak, that caused Happy to turn around.
"Are you ok, Beast Boy?" she asked looking at him strangely, "Your face looks a little red…"
"Are you sure you don't have fever?"
His face was still bright red but he timidly nodded and she slowly turned back around, after giving him a suspicious look. The young green boy walked behind trying hard to get the red blush crisscrossing his face to disappear. 'Things are really getting weird around here…' he thought.
Another consequence of Affection's thoughts was the strange feeling Raven felt bubbling in the pit of her stomach. (No, its not gas people… XD) It felt different to anything Raven had ever experienced before, and had a sort of fluttering effect on her almost making her feel happy and care-free. She frowned grumpily, trying to get rid of the unwanted feeling. The worst part of it was….……it reminded her of Beast Boy. Affection watched her frowning strangely and wondered what was going on. She didn't have to wonder long though…
Once it began to affect Raven, it began to spread throughout all of her emotions.
They all paused, recognizing the feeling. Anger's lips curled downwards as she squirmed trying her best to get rid of it, Knowledge wrote it off as some sort of scientifical feeling, and Happy embraced it giggling at the tickling sensation (at the same time causing Beast Boy to wonder if she was still sane). Timid gasped quietly as she shook fearfully, wondering what to do, and Rude hardly realized that it wasn't just gas. All in all, Wisdom, and Affection were the only ones who really knew what was going on, even Raven herself couldn't figure out what it was.
Suddenly, the fluttering disappeared as quickly as it had come…..Raven and many emotions sighed in relief. The others continued their walk back and Raven continued wrapping Affection's arm, while at the same time secretly wondering, 'What the hell was that?'
Raven dismissed all thoughts of the strange feeling from her mind, as she finally finished wrapping Affection's arm.
"It should be good now," said Raven standing up to gathering all the medical supplies, "But you'll have to keep the bandages on for at least three or four days."
Raven paused in the middle of closing the First-Aid kit when she heard footsteps approaching.
"What took you so-
Raven stopped in mid-sentence with her mouth hanging open and eyes as wide as dinner plates as she looked on in amazement at the seven newcomers.
At first, Raven almost didn't recognize them, but there was no mistaking 6 mirror copies of herself or that light green skin…… it was Beast Boy and her six emotions.
Raven's wide eyes passed over Happy's mini-miniskirt, the low V-neck of Timid's shirt and Wisdom's skin-tight dress, and then her eyes narrowed.
Her own emotions were wearing clothes that even she wouldn't wear! Had they no shame? Raven's left eye began twitching dangerously.
It was the sight of Rude in her orange bikini lazily scratching her backside that finally made Raven snap, causing several rocks to explode.
"Will somebody please tell me……" she said with a stressed sigh, "what the hell is going on here?"
There was a long silence where Beast Boy looked at Raven, Knowledge glanced at Wisdom, Affection stared at Beast Boy, Timid looked down fearfully shaking and Raven glared at everyone.
Brave stepped up to the plate first, breaking the silence, "If you cowards won't tell her then I will!"
Raven looked at her ready to hear the 'big secret', but just when she was about to answer, the spectacled emotion in the yellow outfit, appeared beside her, clamping a hand over her mouth, and effectively muffling her words, another tick sign appaered on Rave's forehead.
"Um…maybe Wisdom should tell her…" said Knowledge, still covering Brave's mouth; the others stared at her strangely at her and she smiled nervously, and then looked over at the emotion wearing a brown dress.
"I think Affection should be the one to tell her," said Wisdom, "After all, it's a result of her powers."
She said, passing the burden onto yet another emotion.
There was a short pause and everyone looked over at Affection who was busy staring at Beast Boy. A puddle of drool rolled down her cheek.
She regained consciousness from a playful light slap to her head from Happy. Wiping the drool from her chin as a small smile crossed her face she replied, "I'm sure Happy would love to tell her."
After a while, it seemed like Raven was never going to get an answer. Every emotion that was chosen never answered, instead choosing to simply pass the unwanted task of telling Raven the 'big secret' to another emotion which did the same.
Raven and Beast Boy stood watching the strange pattern as it got louder and louder.
"Dude…," said Beast Boy staring at the emotional battlefield in awe, "Are they always like this?"
"You have no idea…" Raven replied, holding the palm of her hand against her head with a sigh. Soon the emotion's 'polite' conversation changed into a loud shouting match between 7 of Raven's emotions.
Hair was pulled and powers raged on as confusion reigned supreme, causing the once quiet forest to turn into a loud noisy mass of energy.
The noise continued, pounding constantly into Raven's already throbbing head. She couldn't take it any more...
"QUIET!" shouted Raven and everyone froze.
Brave had froze with her hands on her hips in the middle of cheering on Knowledge, who was frozen with a finger pointing in Rude's face. Apparently she had been giving a long lecture to the gum-chewing slob that still sat unfazed by the stillness.
Raven glared at everyone ferociously, daring any one of the stilled emotions to speak.

Happy, believe-it-or-not, had paused in mid-air, in a position and expression that could only mean that the care-free emotion had been bouncing around 'happily' again.
Beast Boy laughed lightly at the strange scene but he quickly stopped as Raven flashed a death glare his way, before turning back to the emotions.
"Now," said Raven intensly glaring at the emotions, "the next person to make a sound, will suffer an excruciatingly painful death."
The whole atmosphere immediately stilled and no one dared to move a muscle. With the smallest of smiles, she continued.
"If we can't talk this out as civilized people," she paused glaring at each emotion, "then we're going to have to take it to Council...
Whew, this chapter was slightly shorter that the last but I'm still proud of it, even if it took a little longer to write.
Remember to review! My favorite part was when Beast Boy and Raven were watching the emotions fight. It was fun to write and I hope it was fun to read too.
Just out of curiosity….. what happened to all my reviewers?
Some faithful reviewers like, xXBaby05XxBBRJE06, Regrem Erutaerc, and DarkMoonfang are still reviewing, but now I'm only getting about 2 or 3 reviews per chapter… It's kind of depressing.
Anyway, I just want to say thank you to all the people who are still faithfully reviewing my story.
With Lots of Love,
