Secret
AN: I own nothing in this story. Please R&R.
Beast Boy was at work and so Raven and Rem had the whole house to themselves. Raven was currently reading her newest novel while Rem was drawing a picture with her crayons. The little girl's tongue was sticking out, signifying her intense concentration. Finally finishing, the child then ran up to her mother and presented the picture for inspection.
"And what did you draw this time honey?" Raven asked.
"I drew us!" Rem said excitedly. Raven looked at the picture. It showed a stick figure Raven whacking a stick figure Beast Boy over the head while a smaller stick figure Rem was giggling in the background.
"I love it." Raven said, earning a huge smile from Rem.
"Great but mommy…I'm bored."
"What about the book you got yesterday?"
"I finished that and besides I'm sort of sick of reading." Rem said.
"How about meditation?" Raven asked.
"No, I can't sit still that long." Rem said. Raven then got an idea and since Beast Boy was out of the house he would never know.
"Alright I have something I think you'll love. Wait right there." Raven then left her 6 year old daughter and went up to her bedroom. Opening her closet, she found the item she was looking for. Returning to her daughter, Rem looked in curiosity at the gray box.
"What's that?"
"It's a Nintendo."
"Nintendo?"
"You play video games with it."
"But mommy you said videogames made you stupid." Rem pointed out.
"Well not this one. It actually helps develop your hand eye coordination."
"What's the game?"
"Super Mario Bros." Taking a controller in her hand, she sat down on the couch, Rem sliding into her lap. Raven explained the controls to her daughter and showed her the first level. After a few tries, Rem was starting to get the hang of it and was bopping along until they came to the first castle. Rem died a lot and looked up at her mother.
"Mommy it's too hard!" She complained.
"That's what I thought at first but let me show you a little secret…" Raven then beat the castle and Rem clapped.
"Wow you're the best!" Raven puffed out her chest a little bit at the compliment.
A few hours later, Beast Boy came home and saw the most adorable sight. Rem was snoring loudly besides his wife, who was also asleep. A Nintendo controller was still gripped in Rem's tiny hands. Taking a blanket from the couch, Beast Boy draped it over his family and smiled. He'd have to remember to bring this up the next time Raven bashed videogames.
