I was inspired!
Finally, right?
Anyway, I was finally inspired to write something!
Even though, it's still not as good as I would like it to be.

High School Surprises

Bravery was not ready. Either that happened, or an emotion was not ready, or an emotion forgot the plan, or an emotion did something wrong.

The point was, Raven needed the moment to be perfect, and with their progress right now, it wasn't going to happen.

It was almost a week before finally something happened, though it wasn't Raven's.

The school gathered in the auditorium. Today, they were going to see a play performed by the drama people. Others out of the drama club can audition, but they needed to be phenomenally good if they ever wanted a chance.

"I wonder what we're watching?" Bumblebee said. The Titans decided to sit together, including the two new students: Wally and Lucky. Unfortunately for Starfire, Robin was not here yet.

"It says here," Beast Boy started, squinting at the tiny letters printed on the brochure given to him by stage people, "that they're going to perform Ham-e-let."

"What? Give me that!" Bumblebee snatched the brouchure from Beast Boy. "It's 'Hamlet'!"

"Hamlet? Is that a combination of ham and an omlette?" Garfield felt sick just thinking about them.

"No, it's Shakespeare," said Cyborg. "Which means that this is going to be very boring."

All the guys groaned. Robin was still not here, which worried Starfire.

"Um, has anyone seen Dick?"

No one answered her, since the lights had now dimmed and the curtains on stage started to part. It revealed a knight with a castle background.

The guard paced for a while until he stopped. "Who's there?" he cried, a spear pointing towards the left.

Another actor entered the stage. "Nay, answer me . . . "

Cyborg shifted in his seat.

Beast Boy looked around the theater.

Aqualad stared at the stage, but he wasn't paying attention.

Kid Flah listened to his iPod, which he snuck in.

Speedy whipped out his comb and started combing his hair.

The guys were truly bored, and just three minutes into the play.

Someone shook Cyborg's shoulder gently. A loud whisper vibrated into his ears. "Dude, look who's onstage!"

Cyborg, still half asleep, gazed towards the front. What he saw immediately woke him up. "No way!" he whispered excitedly.

"A little more than kin, and less than kind!" Robin said. He was not sitting with the Titans, but was actually on the stage, speaking to someone who was wearing a crown.

"Is that Robin?" Speedy hissed next to them.

"Robin is Hamlet?" Jinx muttered in disbelief.

Raven, also in shcok, looked at Starfire, but she was just staring at the stage, particularly at the one with jet-black hair and dashing blue eyes.

A wave of murmur spread across the Titans.

"Shh!" The row behind the Titans hushed them. They watched their teammate in awe play his role.

After many laughs, cries, stuns, and wonders, "Hamlet" finally ended. Eager to question Robin, the Titans stayed behind. It was lunch anyway. They found him backstage, putting away his props. He had a lot of fun with the sword.

"Dude!"

Robin knew that voice only too well. He quickly turned around to see his teammates running toward him. He groaned; he forgot he was performing in front of the whole school.

"Yo man, what were you doing up there?" Cyborg laughed. The guys started hammering his back while the girls hugged him, except Jinx. Instead she watched Raven hug Robin.

She hugged him? I know it's her teammate and all, but I would probably be wrinkled and almost blind before I would see Raven even smile warmly at someone!

"Congratulations!" and "Good job!" crowded Robin. He smiled awkwardly in reply.

"So you really took my advice in being an actor?" asked Cyborg, remembering the time when they met up with Mad Mod.

Robin shrugged. "I had nothing better to do."

The guys laughed again, and the girls, except Jinx, just smiled at their moment. Soon, though, they left for lunch.

All the Titans were laughing, which felt good since the last few days were filled with tension. They were all coping up with life as a normal teenager.

Action was much more fun than this; even the girls agreed to that.

"Hey, what did you do with your costumes?" Wally asked with a stuffed mouth. "I packed mine, in case my power ever comes back."

"Same here," replied Robin. The other Titans nodded in agreement, indicating they also put away their costumes for a while.

Wally nodded after gulping.

"Actually, I think Rachael still wears hers because sometimes I see her ironing it." Garfield smiled.

Beside him, Rachael giggled. "It's true; I do sometimes still remind myself of my powers."

Wally gulped another mouthful of food, and then pointed his fork at the girl across him. "So what's up with Rav-I mean Rachael?"

You can count on Kid Flash to be the brave one; Jinx had wanted to know what was wrong with her rival ever since she saw that smile on the first time they met powerless. However, she was too afraid to ask, because Raven can be unpredictable. Who knows what was lurking in her mind when he asked that question. She could instantly change from her happy demeanor now to a destructive demon. She shuddered at the thought of her boyfriend being crushed. But at the same time, blaming the tiny evil still inside, she smirked.

Rachael just stared across at Wally. She smiled. In a low tone, she explained, "When I lost my powers, my emotions were not tied with anything anymore. Usually, if I still had my powers, if my emotions were too great, my powers might break loose. So I tried to seclude myself. Now that I don't have powers, I don't have to hold back anymore."

Beast Boy was surprised. He never heard that before. Was that really true? Was that why Raven was always . . . "creepy"? He felt a little guilty remembering the time he called her that. He made a mental note that when they had their powers returned, to sympathize Raven.

Everyone started to eat their food again.

A cold wind flew past Garfield. He looked behind him and saw a flash of blond hair. It walked briskly past him and out of the cafeteria. At the moment the person turned, Garfield saw something wet on her face.

It was Terra, and she was crying.

Still concerned with his former teammate, he left the table, mumbling about going to the bathroom.

The Titans watched him leave. "Does that mean you're not going to eat your food?" Cyborg called.

Minutes passed. Garfield didn't come back. Rachael started worrying.

She looked at the clock located above the doors of the cafeteria. There were five minutes left before lunch was over.

Rachael got up from the table. "Maybe I should go check on Garfield, to make sure he's alright."

Now Jinx wanted to fall over. Raven? Wanting to check if someone was "alright"? And it was Beast Boy, too! She already heard the explanation, but she didn't expect things like this.

Meanwhile, Cyborg smiled slyly. "Check on Gar? Why? When have you cared for him?"

"None of your business!" Rachael snapped. Suddenly, she put a hand over her mouth. "Excuse me."

Rachael left before anyone can question her.

"Cyborg was asking a very important question!" Happy complained.

"Yes, and it's not a question I want you to answer!" Blue Raven said.

Just in time, Raven pulled Happy out and let Anger enter. After that, Manners came in.

Now she let Happy return back into the crack in her mind. It seemed strange to have a fissure hovering in your head, but she got used to it.

She shuddered at what Happy was about to say if she hadn't pulled her out. They were thinking the same thoughts (of course, she's part of her mind).

I've always cared about Garfield; it's just that I couldn't get close to him with my powers.

Rachael looked in the bathroom first since Garfield said he was going there.

She listened at the door, which was embarrassing, but her concern was greater than embarrassment for now.

There was no one on the other side. She sighed.

Suddenly, she heard a hiccup. She held her breath; the sound was soft, so she didn't want to miss it.

There it was again, except it was a sob now.

"There, there. It's okay."

Rachael heard the barely audible voice, but she did, and she knew that voice. It was one she dreamed to hear say "Okay, let's go" when her question was asked.

The bathrooms being near a corner, she crept towards it. She peeked around. She gasped.

Happy ran out and a new emotion took her place, though Blue Raven didn't see who it was.

"What's wrong? What happened, Happy?" Raven asked.

Happy turned to meet her. Her eyes were not in its usual sparkle. "What happened," she spoke softly, "is not something to be happy about."

All the way down the hallway there stood two figures. Both were hugging each other. To Rachael, they looked a little too close. The one with his back to her, Garfield, was rubbing the girl-he-was-hugging's back.

What was worse, it was that girl who looked like Terra. The one who had hurt her feelings a few months ago.

That was why her eyes, too, were filling with tears.

"Ring, ring! Ring, ring! Ring, ring!"

The bell rang, sounding the end of lunch. Rachael saw the two part and she quickly wiped her eyes and then turned back around the corner. She wasn't crying, but just having wet eyes.

She waited a moment before finally deciding that it was a reasonable time to turn.

Just as she did that, though, she bumped into Garfield.

"Oh, sorry Rachael," he apologized.

"It's okay," Rachael squeaked, hating herself for that. Rachael saw, behind Gar, Terra. Her eyes were red from crying too.

"Excuse me." Rachael left the two and hurriedly walked to their next class, the whole time avoiding their eye contact.

I should probably clarify, right?
Blue Raven, when not concentrating on her own emotions, can see what's going on outside of her mind.
During the time of the incident, she was still trying to organize her plan.
Thus not seeing anything.
Confusing, but it's the only explanation I got. ;P
