The room was dark. The curtains were closed. The rain had gotten heavier, and was now pounding on the roof. She sat on the edge of her bed and pinched the bridge of her nose. Her mind was blank yet occupied. Her feelings felt clouded to her on the outside like this. She felt like she couldn't control anything, and that's a scary thought for someone…

A nearby lamp was engulfed in pitch black energy and shattered into hundreds of pieces.

...someone like her.

"I've got to do this. And soon."

She forced herself up and walked to her dresser in the darkness. The mirror rested atop it, the spikes jutting into multiple artifacts on the dresser, one which caught her eye. A picture of the five of the Titans. She figured it must've been after the defeat of Trigon, after their celebration. Starfire figured it would be a good idea, in case everything were to change suddenly again. She picked up the wooden frame and examined the picture. Robin was in the center, his arms around Cyborg and her. Cyborg was kneeling on one knee on his right, grinning widely, while she was on Robin's left, giving the slightest hint of a smile. Starfire was in front of Robin, on both knees, giving off her photogenic glow. Then on the ground, laying down as if being drawn like a french girl, was Beast Boy. Oddly enough, he wasn't actually looking at the camera like everyone else. She narrowed her eyes in the dark and attempted to trace his gaze. After many squints and assessments, she finally found what he was looking at. Her.

A drawer flew out of the dresser and slammed into the bed.

Her eyes widened before she quickly grabbed hold of the mirror.

As she drifted into her own mind, she felt a lot of tension. The sky was a different shade of black than normal, a somewhat brighter, warmer, less soul-crushing black. The ground cracked in jagged lines across the bridges. Grey gates led to the domains of her feelings. And, of course, the flock of four-eyed ravens gathered a distance away, staring her down. Things felt strange. She stood and looked around. She needed her emotions right here, right now. Luckily, she had learned a spell that would bring them all there in a flash. She closed her eyes.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"

In a literal flash of white light, a rainbow formed around her, shooting up to the sky. A thunderous sound echoed in the endless abyss of her mind. She opened her eyes to see many of herselves circled around her, all facing her. Happy, Timid, Brave, Rude, Knowledge, Anger, and Passion.

"Woah! What just happened?" Happy exclaimed before any other Raven could speak.

"H-hi ev-"

"Yeah, I was just fightin' off some crazy three-headed beast! Where'd it go?" Brave responded, immediately going into an attack stance.

"I brought you all here…" Raven informed them.

"I see the spell worked. Congratulations." Knowledge smiled wholesomely.

"H-hey gu-"

"Why do I have to see you losers again?" Rude piped up, yawning loudly.

"The better question is; why do I have to see you losers again?!" Anger yelled to no one in particular.

"T-that's not ni-"

"Oh, I think it's pretty obvious, ain't it?" Passion raised her eyebrow as she looked at the original.

"It's because I need your help." Raven looked at them all. "Because of… because of Beast Boy."

There was a silence in the air, before Passion giggled.

"Of course it's gotta deal with him! What's new, did he call you a cute pet name?" She fluttered her eyes, almost shooting hearts out of them.

"No, it's that-"

"Did he tell an actually funny joke?" Happy shot forwards. "Ooh! What was it?"

"He didn-"

"Did he do something stupid again?" Anger grunted.

"Yes, he a-"

"I bet he did something real cool." Brave said cooly.

"Hey! Guys, I need you to focus."

"Pfft, as if." Rude did everything but focus on her.

"Come on, let the girl say it." Knowledge glared at Rude through round glasses.

"Beast Boy wants to kiss me!" And just like that, the circle of chaos collectively focused on Raven.

They all let out a "What!?" in their respective ways.

"How dare he!" Anger yelled with fire in her eyes.

"Didn't think he had it in 'im." Brave crossed her arms and nodded approvingly.

"Ew." Rude sneered in disgust.

Raven gestured them to all calm down before sitting down, rubbing her temples. "I really need help here."

The emoticlones gathered in front of her sitting in various positions.

"I don't know what to do…"

"Tell us what happened, then." Knowledge told her, the others nodding.

"Well… I was meditating with him asleep in the main room. He woke up and looked at my…"

"Your what?" Happy poked curiously.

"Nothing. He woke up then made me play this stupid game called 'Would You Rather?'."

"That sounds so lame." Rude picked at her teeth.

"It was. Until he said…"

"He wanted to kiss you." Knowledge deduced how the story would go.

"Yeah. The thing is, I didn't say yes, but I didn't say no."

"So he thinks you may actually want to kiss him, perhaps causing him to be much more active and even assertive about what he wants with you." Knowledge hypothesized.

"Finally! He might just say somethin' that we might wanna hear." Passion rolled backwards in her thoughts of… passion.

"Maybe he'll grow a backbone too!" Brave chuckled.

"But what if he says something that is so wrong?" Anger growled. "You know he'll say something that'll put us on edge."

"Besides, why should we care about a little kid like that." Rude checked her nails.

"You do know he's taller than us now?" Knowledge informed her fellow emotion, only getting a silent mocking.

"We're getting off track. And it's not just that he may be more into me now, but… but what if I'm really into him?" Raven brought her emotions back to the topic with a startling idea. "What if I wanted to say yes?"

The emoticlones sat there, thinking about the question.

"What about it? I bet kissin's fun!" Happy cheerily replied first.

"How would you know? It's not like Raven's kissed anyone before." Knowledge scolded the excitable pink-dressed emotion.

"It's in the movies all the time." Passion defended the notion. "Especially in those movies that Robin watches with Star." She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

"Ew." Rude said what everyone else thought.

"Guys, the question?" Raven was losing control of them. "What if… what if i actually like him? Is… what… what do I do?"

"You like him then!" Happy threw her arms up.

"Yeah! You like him, get him to ask you out." Brave smiled.

"You sure you'd want to be with a guy like him?" Rude scratched her head.

"He'll just piss you off more." Anger confided.

Raven looked at Passion, eyes closed and biting her lip. "Dude, imagine what he could do." Passion purred, creeping the others out.

After a silence, Timid quietly admitted something. "I-I didn't know he liked us like that…"

Raven gulped. Her emotions knew what's best for her on the inside, and when all the positive ones can agree, it's a telling sign.

"You should talk to Cy about this." Knowledge told Raven. "He knows Beast Boy better than anyone. He can help you."

Raven nodded. Cyborg was pretty much her big brother. He will know what to do.

"Ok, I think I've heard enough." Raven got off the ground. "I think I can do this."

"That's the spirit!" Brave leapt up and put her arm around Raven.

"Just take it slow…" Knowledge advised.

"...and don't kiss those animal's lips." Rude scoffed.

"Have fun with him!" Happy told her.

"Don't let him tell any jokes." Anger grunted.

"And puh-lease…" Passion jumped up to her. "...let me do the talkin'." She winked, seeing Raven get what she meant.

"I'll wait on that until it's time." She backed away from her. "Alright. I'll be back sometime soon, maybe."

She chanted a quick mantra and felt the world turn to darkness. She woke up on her bed, somewhat disorientated. A flash outside lit up the room for half a second, before a clap of thunder shook her back to reality. She reflected on what just happened inside her mind.

"So… this is… a good thing?" She still didn't know what to do. She cracked her fingers and her back before standing up, feeling her stomach rumbling like the storm outside.

"Yeah, food sounds nice right now."
