Last chapter was short, but hey! Kid Flash and Jinx are together now! Now I just need BBxRae and CyxBee. At this moment, this story has 8 reviews, 4 favorites, 4 followers, and 911 views. Wow. Thank you everyone! People have been giving me writing tips, and I really appreciate it. Like I said in the last two chapters, I'm going to San Antonio so I don't know if I'll be able to update after this. Sorry.
Lacey: At least you're trying to write one more chapter.
Me: Yeah. Ok, disclaimer time!
Lacey: On it!

Raven's POV
Robin, Cyborg, and Beastboy walked in and stopped when they saw Kid Flash and Jinx. Then they smiled and started congratulating the new couple.
"Alright, we better go. It was nice seeing all of you," Kid Flash said. Jinx nodded in agreement.
"It was nice meeting you, Lacey," Jinx said before she got onto Kid Flash's back and he sped off to who knows where.
Robin and Star left to say hello privately while Cyborg said he needed to work on the door. I sat down on the couch and started to read my book.
"I believe I promised you I'd play some videogames, didn't I?" I heard Laxey ask. She then sat down next to me on the couch and grabbed a controller. Beastboy sat down as well, grabbing the other controller. Then Lacey looked at me with a hint of concern.
"This won't bother you, will it?" Lacey asked. I have to say, that was…..nice of her to ask. None of the others ever ask, they just start playing their game.
"It's fine. I need to go meditate anyway," I said in my usual monotone voice. I stood up and started to leave. But apparently, Lacey wasn't having any of that.
"Gar, I mean….maybe we should go play somewhere else," Lacey said, trying not to bring attention to her calling him 'Gar' by accident. I didn't see why she couldn't just call him that. Lacey is Beastboy's sister, so she should call him whatever she wants. I do.
"Sure, dudette. Let's go play in my room," Beastboy replied. Since when was Beastboy willing to go to his room to play video games for me? Must be because of what Lacey said. The Logan siblings then walked past Cyborg, who'd finished his door repair, to Beastboy's room.
"Did BB just willingly leave to play video games in his room?"asked Cyborg. I nodded then got myself ready for meditation.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos," I tuned out everything and was, in a way, transported to my mind. I landed in Knowledge's land. Her land was basically a large library filled with my memories, of spells, of the past, of...everything.
"Knowledge?" I asked, looking around for the yellow cloaked emotion. A/N I checked. The emotion with glasses was wearing a yellow cloak in 'Nevermore'.
"Yes? Did you need something?" came a response a few shelves away. I went toward the voice and found Knowledge reorganizing my memories. Again.
"Can I talk to you about something?" I saw Knowledge nod and she came towards me. We then started walking through the library.
"What do you think about Lacey?" I asked. Knowledge looked like she was contemplating something before finally speaking.
"She is a nice enough girl. Beastboy has spoken highly of her during your midnight chats," Knowledge replied. I felt my face heat up. She did too. "Don't tell me you're embarrassed. Sure, in the middle of the night you went to get tea and Beastboy was in the kitchen as well. Then you started talking and it became a regular event. What's to be embarrassed about?"
"We just talk. That's it," I said, not wanting to talk about it. So what if Beastboy and I talk around midnight almost every night and we've gotten really close? So what if this has been going on for a year? During the day, we act like we always did. We'd somehow come to the silent agreement not to act like we did at night. Except, Beastboy acted nice to me today.
"I want to show you something. Come on," Knowledge said. I followed her until she pulled a book of a shelf. "Read this. Don't talk and read it all the way through."
I looked at it. It was a green-covered book. It was thin, not as thick as most of the other books. I opened it up and read. The flashback started instantly.
*Flashback from a year ago*
I couldn't sleep. I'd had a nightmare about me ending the world again. Even though that already happened, I couldn't help but think about what could've happened. I got out of my bed and went to the kitchen, planning on making some tea to calm me down.
When I got there, I saw Beastboy's slumping figure in a chair. Huh, why would Beastboy be up at…..midnight! I was up that late?
"Beastboy?" I shook him gently, trying to get him up before he fell to the ground. Then he woke up on the floor and looked around with panic on his face. Then he saw me and calmed down. Beastboy got up and sat back in his chair.
"Hey Rae! What are you doing up so late?" Beastboy asked. I started boiling the water while I answered.
"What are you doing up?" I replied. Beastboy shook his head.
"I asked first," He stated. I nodded, then waited a moment before deciding to stick with the truth.
"Nightmare. Now you," I said. Beastboy's face filled with concern.
"Nightmare? About what?" I didn't answer his question, just poured the water into the kettle with the tea bag. How could I tell him?
"Answer my question, and I might answer yours," I replied. Beastboy pouted, but responded.
"A friend of mine who I haven't seen in a long time got in touch with me today. I was too excited to sleep, so I came in here. I guess I got so tired I fell asleep in the chair. Now it's your turn," Beastboy said, standing up and putting a hand on my shoulder. Normally I would've shrugged it off, but it felt so….good to have his hand there.
"About the world ending and all the bad stuff that could've happened," I said, looking down. I couldn't believe I'd just told Beastboy about my nightmare. I heard him sigh then he got in front of me and grabbed my hands. In his hands, mine felt small. But his hands were so warm.
"Rae, bad stuff could've happened and we might not have won. But we did and that's all that matters," Beastboy said gently. I looked at him in shock.
"When did you get so serious and mature? I asked. Beastboy shrugged, then realized he was still holding my hands and hastily let go.
"Probably won't last long, so enjoy it while you can," Beastboy replied. I rolled my eyes while he smirked at my annoyance.
"So who's your friend who got in touch with you?" I asked. Beastboy suddenly looked nervous and looked around, as if to make sure no one was there. He then looked back at me.
"Promise not to tell?" I nodded my head in agreement while Beastboy took a deep breathe.
"My….sister. Lacey," I was shocked. Beastboy has a sister?!
"You have a sister!" I exclaimed, trying to stay quiet.
"Yeah. We were seperated when I was kidnapped nine years ago. She finally found my number and called me earlier. Lace is gonna try to save up so she can come here," Beastboy replied. I stood in shock, jumping when the tea kettle whistled. I turned and poured some tea into a cup, then noticed Beastboy looking at it.
"Do you...do you want some?" I couldn't believe I was being so…...shy. Beastboy nodded and I started pouring him a cup.
"Lace called me by my real name, since she didn't know about me going by Beastboy nowadays. It was...weird, being called that," Beastboy confided.
"I imagine it would be. Your real name is Garfield, isn't it?" I smirked a little when he blushed.
"Yeah, but back then, she called me Gar. I wasn't used to it, so I almost said that she had the wrong number when she called and asked if this was Gar," I felt a little bad for him. Robin always said we should be responsible and call each other by our superhero name so no one could find out our identities if they managed to tap our communicators or something.
"Maybe if….only at a certain time of day…..someone could call you Gar to help you remember what it was like to be called that when you were younger," I suggested, trying to make him feel better. But I seemed to make it worse.
"Who'd call me my old name? Star wouldn't go against Robin and Cy would just make fun of me!" exclaimed Beastboy. I thought about it. Then I decided to do something I probably wouldn't have ever thought to do if Beastboy hadn't been so comforting about my nightmares.
"I would," I said quietly. Beastboy looked at me and then smiled. He came up and hugged me. I was startled, then I hesitantly put my arms around him and returned the hug.
"Thank you for being my best friend," Beastboy said. I smiled at that. I don't know why, but I got butterflies in my stomach when he said that.
"No problem….Gar," I replied. We stayed like that for a while.
*End of the flashback*
I closed the book and looked at Knowledge. She nodded, then left me to my thoughts. I thought about it, then realized what I said at the sleepover was true. I'd meant to say that I loved him like a friend, but I realize that's not what I meant. I meant it romantically.
I love Beastboy and wish he loved me too.
