The Nightmare
Midnight spent the next few weeks becoming better friends with everyone since she didn't want to be considered just "the maid" but wanted to be apart of the group (not like become a Teen Titan, though).
Maeoris hadn't terrorized the city during those weeks. Hopefully the city jail had put her in behind some tougher bars.
Robin and Starfire had gotten awfully close and it seemed pretty obvious that they really, really liked each other. No other relationships seemed to be forming between the other 3 Titans (and Midnight) except for friendship and whatever.
The house was sparkling clean every day except for the boy's bedrooms. Midnight could straighten them up but within the next 2 hours they'd be dirtied again (hopefully you can guess how), plus Cyborg and Beast Boy complained about how they couldn't find any of their stuff anymore, not like they could find it in the mess before.
It was a month and 2 weeks since Midnight met the Teen Titans, no one could believe that time would fly so fast. Beast Boy was wondering around in the tower (out of boredom) and came across the, um, battle training room thing where he found Midnight beating the crap out of a punching bag.
"Midnight," Beast Boy said, "What are you doing in here?"
"Uh—fighting? I wasn't fighting!" Midnight exclaimed with panic in her voice.
"Whoa, I didn't say you were—"
"I couldn't be training for any battles at all, I just thought that I maybe could—um—make that sweaty smell go away," Midnight pulled her transforming feather duster out again, pressed a random button on it, and it began spraying a air-freshening scent out into the room.
"It's a gym, it's supposed to smell sweaty—" Beast Boy said. He backed out of the room, afraid that she was going crazy.
"Man, what's her problem," he muttered once he knew she was out of earshot.
~The top floor~
The other Titans were involved in their usual activities: Cyborg and Robin were playing video games, Starfire was watching, and Raven was reading.
"Dude, I think Midnight's going crazy." Beast Boy said as soon as he entered the room.
"Naw, girls are just like that." Cyborg told him.
Raven looked up from her book and glared at Cyborg.
"Do girls usually beat the crap out of punching bags?" Beast Boy inquired, sitting down on the sofa to watch the video game battle.
"Starfire can." Robin said.
"Yeah but Starfire's from Tamaran. I'm talking about human girls." Said Beast Boy.
"You realize we can hear you, right?" Raven told them.
"… so?" all three of the boys said in unison.
Raven rolled her eyes and walked out of the room with her book. Starfire followed after her talking about … uh… "the hanging out" or something.
"Are you sure you weren't hallucinating?" Robin suggested.
"Heck no!" Beast Boy protested.
"Are we talking about girls in general or are we talking about Midnight?" Cyborg said, his tone of voice also meant "Beast Boy likes Midnight! Beast Boy likes Midnight!"
"What is with you guys? Robin and Starfire suddenly act like their boyfriend and girlfriend and everyone assumes that I'm next?" Beast Boy stated.
"Dude, calm down. If you like her, it's no big deal." Cyborg says, trying to hold back his laughter.
"I DON'T LIKE HER!!!" Beast Boy shouted.
"You don't like me?" said a voice behind him. He turned around to see Midnight looking sad. "It was that Chow Mein stuff wasn't it?" she said timidly.
"No, I didn't mean that I—I mean that—I don't hate you—" Beast boy stuttered.
Midnight didn't want to listen so she ran out of the room. Beast Boy stared at the ground and wished he could've said what he meant, but at the same time he was angry because she wouldn't listen. Robin and Cyborg stopped playing their game so there was a long moment of silence. No one said anything until Beast Boy turned to Cyborg with his eyes narrowed and shouted, "IT'S YOUR FAULT SHE HATES ME!"
"MY FAULT!?" Cyborg shouted back "YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SAID IT!"
"YEAH BUT YOU MADE ME SAY IT!!" Beast Boy yelled, pointing a finger at him.
Robin backed out of the room, he wasn't in the mood for arguing at that moment.
"YOU WERE THE ONE WHO CHOSE TO SAY IT!"
"I DON'T LIKE HER AND WHAT I SAID WAS THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT INTO YOUR HEAD!"
"I'M NOT STUPID, YOU COULD'VE JUST SAID 'I DON'T LOVE HER'!"
"YEAH RIGHT, AND YOU'D THINK I'M LYING!"
"BECAUSE YOU REALLY DO LIKE HER!"
"DO NOT!"
"DO TO!"
"DO NOT!"
"DO TO!"
"DO NOT!"
"DO TO!"
"DO NOT!"
"DO TO!"
"DO NOT!"
"DO NOT!"
"DO TO!"
"AHA! SO YOU DO LIKE HER!" Cyborg laughed.
"Wait, I didn't say that—" Beast Boy protested.
"Yeah you did, man! You love the girl!" Cyborg said, still laughing.
"I DO NOT!" Beast Boy whined.
"Do tooooo." Cyborg jeered.
"Not unless I say the words 'I love Midnight' will it really be true." Beast Boy said, folding his arms and thinking he said something smart.
"Fine," Cyborg said, but paused for a long time. "You love Midnight."
"I DO NOT 'love' her!" Beast Boy shouted, suddenly acting like he got sick every time he heard the word 'love'.
"You do not like her at all!" Cyborg said, using reverse psychology to get him to admit it.
"I do to like her! How could anyone not like her? They only way they could is if they were jealous! I can't believe I said that I didn't like her because I do! I almost 'love' her—"
"AHA! So you do like her!" Cyborg exclaimed. (er... I made Beast Boy say that for the story, it sounds kinda weird though.)
"No—wait—I didn't mean—" Beast Boy tried to say.
"Beast Boy likes Midnight, Beast Boy likes Midnight," Cyborg chanted.
"He does? Is there going to be an engagement celebration?" Starfire inquired, appearing out of no where.
"What?! No!" Beast Boy tried to shout over Cyborg's chanting.
"You really do like me don't you?" Midnight said excitedly, appearing out of nowhere as did Starfire, and wrapping her arms around Beast Boy's neck.
"NO! WAIT!" he yelled.
"Beast Boy likes Midnight," Cyborg continued chanting.
"STOP!" he screamed.
Cyborg chanted, Starfire talked about how weddings were planned on her planet, and Midnight was talking about having kids (eww). Beast Boy had a head ache because of all the noise and confusion. Suddenly he starts sinking into the floor. I mean like the floor was sucking him in!
"Um, guys," Beast Boy said. "Hello! I could use some help here!" he shouted.
His head slipped under the floor with the rest of his body. He couldn't breathe. Everything was dark. Suddenly he felt something soft under him.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" he woke up screaming.
He was breathing fast and hard. What the heck was with that dream? He thought. Hopefully it was a dream. He rubbed his eyes and blinked a few times, trying to bring his bedroom into focus. What a nightmare, he thought again.
He went to the kitchen to find Starfire serving breakfast. Robin, Cyborg, and Raven were already at the table. 3 seats were left empty: one for Starfire (next to Robin), one kept unoccupied for Beast Boy, and another seat was vacant… apparently for Midnight.
Though, Beast Boy was relieved that there was no Midnight present in the room. His pulse was still fast since he was still pretty startled by his nightmare.
"Beast Boy, I heard you yelling in a scared manner a few minutes ago. Would you please inform us on what frightened you?" Starfire asked the morpher as she sat down for breakfast.
"Oh, it was… nothing." He lied.
"Was it 'cause you wet the bed?" Cyborg jeered.
Beast Boy glared and said, "You ever heard of a nightmare?"
"Aww, poor wittle Beast Boy is having big scarwy dweams about monsterws." Cyborg said immaturely and started laughing. Beast Boy groaned and sat down at the table.
"Good morning, folks." Said a familiar voice, it was Midnight. Beast Boy sank in his seat, still feeling haunted by the nightmare.
"Hey Beast Boy, I heard you screaming last night. What happened?" she asked, taking a seat next to him.
He avoided eye contact with her when he said, "Nothing, it was nothing."
"You just stated that you had a 12:00 female horse." Starfire told them.
"12:00 female horse?" Midnight said, raising an eyebrow at Beast Boy.
"She means a nightmare." Beast Boy mumbled.
"Oh… what happened?" Midnight asked him, looking concerned.
"It was a regular nightmare." He said, annoyed.
"Fine, fine, if you don't want to tell us then don't." she said.
I am never, ever going to say I like anyone ever again. Beast Boy thought.
"Yes you will." Raven said to him. His eyes widened in fear, praying that Raven couldn't explore human dreams since mind reading was bad enough.
