Chapter 3: Welcome Home! Beast...Man?

YAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWNNNNNNN!!!! Yes,it's Raven again. A year has passed since Beast Boy left and her heart nearley broke in two. "Uh.What time is it?" She glanced at her clock. " 6:00..." Giving a sigh of relief, Raven got dressed into her best outfit: ( starfire helped pick it out for just this occasion.) It was a silky white dress with a feathered shoulder area. Around her hips she wore her lovely golden belt,and a pair of Cream shoes. She looked at herself about 13 times before going downstairs for an early breakfast. " Raven! What a wonderous dress!" Starfire felt the smooth material and nodded happily. " Yeah,you look great." Came Robin's response. " Never better" Added Cyborg. Raven blushed a deep shade of pink. " We must hurry or we will miss Beast Boy's flight!" cryed Star. ' um...It doesnt come in for another 2 hours,Star.We have plenty of time." Coaxed the confused Robin. Raven decided to take a short rest before they left. ~ Hmm...I wonder how he's changed...Oh My God...What if he's found a new girlfriend? What if he's dead? What if he doesnt like me anymore? Oh no oh no oh no!!~ Raven said this last bit out loud, puzzling the others. "Oh no oh no oh no WHAT,Raven?" Asked Starfire. "Erm.... Oh NO this legging did NOT run up!!...Phew,thats better." Raven laughed a not only uncharectaristic but unneccisary chuckle. Robin and Cyborg just shook it off. " Urg....I can't wait any longer!! We'll just have to be early!" Without another sound,The 3 other titans were in a large,black bubble trailing behind a rushed Raven who was quickley soaring down to the airport.

"Oh! Is THAT him? Or THAT? Or maybe THATS him!" Starfire was obviousley on something, may it be candy,crack or soap. ( It's Starfire.) " Starfire. Look closley.Do any of those people have GREEN SKIN?? Besides,that one's a woman..." Raven looked disgusted. " I am sorry Raven, but I am just so excited to see Beast Boy!! I almost miss his...how you say..."Cheesy" jokes and...um...."Squashy sense of humor." " You mean Corny,Star." Corrected Robin. Star blushed, while Raven's attention was drawn to something else- A tall figure with what appeared to be green hair. Exstatic,she hurried over to him,only to find that it was not Beast Boy,but just some "Independent" Teenager who was making a fashion statement. Dissapointed,Raven kept scanning the crowd. Then she heard it: " Flight 239 from Cairo,Egypt,now disembarking.Luggage collection is to your right." She didn't care about the luggage,but her heart skipped 10 beats when she saw people slowley coming off. Several people had run to their family and friends,but Beast Boy was no where to be found. Worried, Raven continued to wait. She felt a tap on her shoulder,but ignored it. A few seconds later,another tap and then another. Finally,fed up,she swung around to confront the tapper. " What the hell do you wa-"

Freeze.

Before her stood the most gorgeous man she had ever seen. His hair was messily combed back, but there were strands sticking straight out,too. His eyes were not big,but were full of love and life. His orange shirt stopped just a slight bit above the mid section,revealing a small half an inch of his irresistably tiny tummy. He wore khaki shorts and some dark purple shoes. On the ends of his long ears were 2 small cup earrings.He gave her a smile that made her nearley melt. His teeth were all sharp save a few,but they had a feeling of gentleness. He stood about 5 finches above Raven, so that she was left staring at his chest area.His skin was a dark shade of green.

Hey,Raven.

Raven froze.

Not just her body: Everything.Her mind froze.Her thoughts froze.Her heart froze. Until finally,she managed to choke out: " B...Be...Beas..." Before she could finish the name,she had fainted,falling to the ground with a large slam. Everythought she had ever had of Beast Boy,every image,every word...It all faded away.Slowley,Raven saw darkness. Pusr darkness. That darkness lasted forever.Until she awoke.
