Session 9: "Picture Perfect."

The door to the living room suddenly opened up and the rest of team of Starfire, Cyborg and Robin entered the room carrying lot's of shopping bag's. "Woo-hoo I love tax free day!" Cyborg shouted, "But I hate the rain!". The trio walked into the room and saw Raven on the couch. Raven glanced at the trio, a sad look was plastered on her face. When Raven saw them the objects immediately fell down and shattered.

"Oh, Raven have we come at a bad time?", Starfire asked. Raven shook her head in reply as she put her hood back on, she didn't want anyone to know she actually was crying. "No, Starfire. So what did you all buy?", Raven asked in attempt to change the subject.

"Oh it's so cool! We got a bunch of games for the game station.",Cyborg shouted. "What did you get Robin?" Raven asked. "Just some training gear.", Robin replied as he took out some boxing gloves. Raven nodded and turned her attention to Starfire and the many bags in her arms.

"Oh, I have bought fabulous fashion wear from the mall of shopping! It was very enjoyable, Raven! Why have you not wanted to join us?"

"I told you I was busy meditating Starfire.", Raven replied. "And I'll be doing it again right about now.", Raven said as she left for her room.

She stopped at the entrance to the living room and turned around. "I'm sorry if the living room... is a bit messy."

"Yeah I noticed," Cyborg replied as a window frame fell in. Cyborg sighed as he saw the broken light bulb's shards and lamps on the ground.

Raven turned and then left. "Dude, I don't know what happened here, but it looks like a tornado hit this place.", Cyborg whispered.

"Yeah, I know Cy. But what could've happen here?", Robin asked. Robin was real confused, "I really hope Beast Boy didn't annoy Raven again."

Starfire then broke into the conversation, "Do not worry friend's. I know Raven. She will eventually calm down once she ingests some of her herbal tea and quietly meditate.". Starfire took her shopping bags and plopped down on the couch. She heard a slight crack and lifted whatever she accidently sat on. It was a picture frame with Beast Boy and Raven. Starfire asked herself, "How had this gotten here?"

She took the picture out of the frame and smiled at the happy scene of those two together. "They appear to be quite content and happy together." Starfire smiled, "I should return this to Raven, she may be missing it."

Starfire leaped off the couch and skipped with a happy tune to Raven's room. While in the hallway, she was skipping with her eyes close and she should have kept them open. She passed Beast Boy's room and something suddenly came crashing through the wall. A figure of a rhino, a green rhino in particular. The rhino slammed into her chest and she was knocked down hard on the floor.

"Oowee,", the eccentric girl groaned as she rubbed her head. The figure extended his arm and pulled the girl up. "Oh, my bad Star."

Starfire smiled, it was Beast Boy who had knocked her down. "Oh it is quite al-" Starfire stopped suddenly. The person she saw was Beast Boy, but there was something a little off. Beast Boy did not have a smile on his face nor did he sound happy like he usually was. Starfire immediately knew something was wrong

"Beast Boy, what is the matter? You seem a little "off" today. Did I say that correctly?", Beast Boy sighs. "I don't really want to talk about it.".

Starfire pouted and tried to brighten up her gloomy companion by giving him a Tamaranian hug. "Beast Boy! I would really appreciate it if you would be happy again.!", Starfire laughed and pulled Beast Boy into a tight bear hug.

Beast Boys face turned a pale blue, "Star..., crushing..., rib's... can't breathe.... pretty light..... tunnel getting closer....run to light...run...", he wheezed. Starfire nuzzled her cheek against his and laughed, "Pleaseee brighten up Beast Boy", Starfire gave Beast Boy a puppy dog pout.

"Hey, no fair!",Beast Boy shouted.

Starfire grinned as she executed a look she learned from watching anime, the chibi eyes. "Awww, okay I'll smile. Kay?", Beast Boy said as he tried to grin.

Starfire smiled, "I do not believe yooouu.", Starfire giggled as she patted Beast Boy's head.

"Please go and gaming the t.v. with the boy's, I have to talk to Raven."

"Yeah, that makes both of us.", Beast Boy whispered as he walked down the hall.

Starfire turned around. "What was that?"

"Oh, nothing.", Beast Boy replied as he made his way to the living room. Beast Boy thought to himself as he plod down the hall to the living room, "Star's going to be talking to Rae. I should come back later.", Beast Boy sighed and stopped in the hall, " I've gotten myself into another situation where I don't know what the heck I'm gonna do.", Beast Boy sighed, "Man...just my luck."

Meanwhile, back at Raven's door, Starfire shrugged her shoulders at Beast Boy's puzzling reply and was about to knock on Raven's door. Starfire brought her hand to the metal frame, but suddenly stopped. Starfire could hear a soft sobbing outside the door. "What is this sad noise? Surely it cannot be...., Raven?"

Starfire knocked on Raven's door. "Um, Raven? I have come to return your flashy box picture." Starfire knocked on the door once more and she felt a breeze brush against her face. To her surprise the door was slightly open. Out of curiosity she began to enter the mysterious girl's room. "Raven? Are you in here, Raven my friend?", Starifre's voice echoed through out the room.

"Raven? Where are...", Starfire gasped when she saw Raven sitting on the edge of her bed weeping. Raven wiped off her black tears off another picture or Raven and Beast Boy. Starfire didn't know those were tear's though.

"Raven? I am sorry that I have bothered you. It seems that you are upset, for you have spilled ink on the flashy box picture of Beast Boy and yourself. Perhaps you need assistance in-" Raven eyes glowed red again and she shouted, "No! Leave me alone!", the whole tower began to shake. Starfire covered her head as plaster fell down from the ceiling. "Raven! O ko demi sorry!", Starfire shouted in Tamaran. "Raven! I am so sorry", she said in English this time.

Raven shook her head and waved her hand in front of her face. Her angry complexion then reverted to her normal calm look,. "I'm sorry Starfire. I am just not in the mood to talk.". Starfire cringed, "No, I am sorry. I should have not come unannounced." Raven sighed, "Starfire whatever you want to say, say it now before I kick you out.".

Starfire quivered as she handed Raven the photo, "I am here to return your photograph from the machine that pilfers souls, Raven."

Raven snatched the photo and sighed, "It's called a camera Starfire. How many times did we have to tell you. And it does not pilfer souls. Though I wouldn't mind one that did...."

Starfire eeked, "What did you say?"

Raven snickered, "Nothing Starfire. Just a joke. So now that you've learned something new today I guess you should be going now." Starfire nodded her head, "Um..okay."

Starfire began to leave the room but she suddenly stopped. There was something not right with Beast Boy and there was something not right about Raven. Starfire turned around and looked at Raven and her black stained clothes.

"Raven, something is wrong. Something is wrong with Beast Boy. He is behaving strangely." Raven shook her head; she did her best to lie, "Ha, that's funny. Me and Beast Boy? What could have ever given you such a foolish idea? Me and Beast Boy didn't do anything when you three were gone. And what do you mean by strange?"

Starfire scratched her head, " I'm sorry Raven, I did not mean it that way...but Raven? Raven, I have not mention anything about you and Beast Boy."

Raven gasped at her slip of tongue, "That's not what I meant Starfire. Forget I ever said anything", Raven then quickly thought up a excuse to get Starfire out of her room, " Wait! Who said you could come into my room?! Get out now!"

Starfire raised a brow, "But Raven I only wish to talk, I deeply sorry that I came in and interrupted you in your time of solitude but I-", Raven cut her off. "Starfire just get out!" Raven began to push Starfire out the door. It didn't surprise her that Starfire would be hard to get rid off.

Starfire gripped the edges of Raven's door and she planted her heel's down. "Raven! Stop! I only mean good. I only wish to help!", Starfire grunted as she tried to stand her ground.

"No thanks! I can handle it myself", Raven replied through gritted teeth.

With one final push and some help with telekinetic power's, Raven was able to toss out her visitor. As soon as Starfire went out the door, Raven shut it behind her. Starfire was launched a couple of feet and tumbled into a wall. "Owwweeee.....", Starfire moaned as she rubbed her head. Starfire shook head and got up to knock on Raven's door.

"Raven I am incredibly sorry for bothering you. I should have realized that you want to be by yourself at this moment. Perhaps if you like, you would retire out from your room and come down and have some herbal tea?", Starfire pressed her ear against the metal door.

There was no answer. "Um...okay then. Remember Raven, I am your friend and I am always here for you. You can come down if you want to talk. Maybe Beast Boy and the other's may help as well." A slight crack opened in between the sliding door. Raven's face came into a view, her hood covering her face, "Thank you, Starifre. Maybe I will consider it."

Starfires face lit up into a giant smile as she hugged her friend. "Starfire, I'm glad that your happy...but let go! Your hugging me!" Starfire giggled as she let go of her friend.

"Okay then. So you can come down anytime you want .I will have your favorite herbal tea prepared downstair's.", Starfire cocked her head to the side and smiled.

Raven shook her head and muttered under her breath, "So perky...gah! She is so sweet. Sometimes too much for her own good. It is so annoying when she's like this. But maybe that's why I like her enough to tolerate her."

"Did you say something, Raven?", Starfire asked as she turned around. "Nothing. It's nothing", Raven replied. Starfire shrugged her shoulders and started to skip back downstair's.

"Thank's Starfire.", Raven said as she watched the eccentric girl leave. "No problem!", Starfire replied. Starfire then started skipping downstairs, blowing air out of her mouth. Starfire sighed, "I still do not know how Earth people make that whimsical sound flow from their lips.", Starfire said as she made her way downstairs.

Raven sighed, "It's called whistling."

Starfire giggled, "So that Is what Earth people call it? Interesting."

Raven sighed as she went back into her room, Raven was sulked on her bed again. Raven picked up the picture of her and Beast Boy and stared at it.

"I should probably put this in a new frame."

Raven stared at the photo as she walked to her desk drawer. She opened up one drawer and began to feel around for a new frame. Her hand then brushed against a familiar object. It was the mirror to her mind. "Well you're not exactly what I'm looking for.", Raven picked up the mirror and looked at herself. Her eyes were almost blood shot and the black streaks didn't exactly help.

"Raven? What should I do?", Raven asked herself playfully. Raven chuckled at her joke, but then something was peculiar about her reflection. Raven's reflection was staring back at her. Raven raised a brow, "What the..?"

The reflection started frowning and shouted, "I'll tell you what you should do!", a green cloaked Raven's hand suddenly popped out of the mirror and pulled Raven in by the hood. There was a whisp of smoke and Raven vanished from her room. The tine line of smoke swirled around the trembling mirror as the photo of Beast Boy and Raven flittered to the ground.
