Raven had to take a step backwards to avoid colliding with Beast Boy. He stood before her, panting for breath. Sweat poured down his face as he inhaled for more breath. He looked at her, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and spoke all in one little breath.

"Weweresingingaboutwhowonthevideogame."

Raven raised a brow. She hardly understood what he had just said.

"Ummm...I noticed."

"Oh," he said, his cheeks turning a very deep red. Cyborg eyed his green buddy suspiciously. He knew something was going on between them otherwise Beast Boy wouldn't have blushed twice in one morning. Cyborg smiled as he figured out what was going on and left the two alone. Beast Boy placed a gloved hand on the back of his sweaty neck.

She took a sip of her herbal tea as she waited for him to say something. Beast Boy finally discovered that he had a voice.

"Ummm..."

"Uh huh?"

"I-I wanted to show ya somethin'."

He grabbed her arm and pulled her onto the couch. All of the sudden the music started up again. 'Where is that coming from?' Raven asked herself while Beast Boy cleared his throat.

BB: I'm tuggin' at my hair I'm pulling at my clothes I'm trying to keep my cool I know it shows

I'm staring at my feet My cheeks are turning red I'm searching for the words inside my head

I'm feeling nervous Trying to be so perfect Cause I know you're worth it You're worth it Yeah

If I could say what I want to say I'd say I want to blow you away Be with you every night Am I squeezing you too tight? If I could say what I want to see I want to see you go down...on one knee Marry me today Guess I'm wishing my life away These things I'll never say

It don't do me any good It's just a waste of time What use is it to you what's on my mind? If it ain't coming out We're not going anywhere So why can't I just tell you that I care?

Cause I'm feeling nervous Trying to be so perfect Cause I know you're worth it You're worth it yeah!

If I could say what I want to say I'd say I want to blow you away Be with you every night Am I squeezing you too tight? If I could say what I want to see I want to see you go down...on one knee Marry me today Guess I'm wishing my life away These things I'll never say

What's wrong with my tongue? These words keep slipping away I stutter, I stumble like I've got nothing to say I'm feeling nervous Trying to be so perfect Cause I know you're worth it Yeah!

If I could say what I want to say I'd say I want blow you away Be with you every night Am I squeezing you too tight? If I could say what I want to see I want to see you go down...on one knee Marry me today Guess I'm wishing my life away These things I'll never say These things I'll never say

Raven's face was twisted into an expression of amazement. She stared at him wide-eyed.

"Wow."
"So what'd ya think?" he asked, hands clasped together allowing him to twiddle his thumbs. "W-well," she began, her insides churning, lurching, and writhing. He swallowed hard. "I-I've gotta go," she finished as she felt her face burning up and dashed quickly out of sight. Beast Boy inhaled and sighed.

'I...never thought he felt that way. He does care for me. Oh man do I feel uncomfortable right now,' she thought as soon as she was out of everybody's sight. Her chest was heaving and her heart was pounding faster than it had 2 minutes ago. She felt this sensation of joy consume her abdomen.

A pair of catlike eyes and a wide smile appeared to look at her just as she passed a corner. A pink and purple striped cattail tapped her shoulder and she turned. A pink and purple striped cat with a wide smile floated in front of her. Its beady yellow eyes were fixed upon her. She raised a brow.

The cat chuckled. "Heh heh. You're wondering who I am, right?"

"Uh huh."

"Well let me introduce myself."

Music echoed through the halls.

Cat: I'm the Cheshire Cat! I'm the Cheshire Cat! People think I'm a rat Because I'm fat I walk into your dreams and mind To see what thoughts you've left behind I always smile Because it helps me think awhile I never put on a frown For fear that I'll turn brown I appear here and there like a bat For I'm the smiling Cheshire Cat!

The Cheshire Cat took off his head and placed it in his right hand.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to help you."

"Help me with what?"

"With your problem. Let's get started."

He clapped his hands and a bed and chair appeared. A clipboard was placed in Raven's hands. The Cheshire Cat lied down on the bed. He folded his hands on the back of his head.

"Well, it all started when..."

"Isn't this supposed to be vise-versa?"

"Damn it."

Raven placed the clipboard in his hands while she walked over to the bed. He sat down and started to interrogate her. "So, when did you receive this feeling?" he asked, his pencil racing across the clipboard.

"15 minutes ago."

"And it started after Nature Boy sang to you?"

"Yeah."

"I see..."

From where Raven was laying it looked like he was writing down every word she said, but, to tell ya the truth, he wasn't. He was sketching a portrait of Michael Jackson.

"Well, what's the problem?"

The Cheshire Cat snapped out of his trance and flipped the page. His pencil raced across the clipboard faster than ever. "You've got the bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad ,bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD case of love," he answered, showing her his sketch of her and Beast Boy kissing. Raven's face turned pale. His clipboard became enveloped in a black glow and exploded into smithereens.

"Love?"

"Yep."

"I think I'll do some more meditation."

"Okay. If you need me, just give me a call. Here's my credit card."

He handed her a wooden credit card and disappeared. She examined it and threw it into the nearest trashcan. She strolled into her dark room, sat in a cross-legged position, and chanted her three words. But thoughts were creating a traffic jam inside her mind so she couldn't meditate. 'I'm in LOVE! Oh crap, crap, crap this isn't good,' she thought.

Everything in her room soon became enveloped in a black glow and crashed into the steel walls, ceiling, and other objects. Objects started to create a whirlwind 10 feet above her head as thoughts of Beast Boy made their way into her already filled mind. "Must...stop...thinking...about...Beast Boy," she repeated to herself. As though she were giving a command, the thoughts suddenly vanished without a trace.

The button on her cloak started blinking. Red. Black. Red. Black. "Oh no," she said as she opened her door and disappeared into the surrounding darkness.
