THANKS!
WELL HERE'S MY NEW CHAPTER, PLEASE ENJOY
(Hey, besides reviewing, tell me what you think about the new TT episode with "Kitten"
She seemed nice at first, but now I think she's mean...well anyway tell me when you review)
Session 14: Discovery Channel
Melissa nodded in reply, "Sure do, I know what it means, Rae."
Melissa cracked her fingers, "Weeellll, firstly your tree is a symbol for woman, happiness and change. But what erks me is that the tree was twisted black? Black is the color of anxiety, nervousness and warning? And if it had black apples, then that isn't good at all. That means betrayal. Rae, I think someone doesn't like you. Like a pum-pum-pum villain or something?" Melissa said as she wavered her fingers.
Raven raised a brow, "A villain? Melissa, I take down them down for a living. Of course lots of bad guys would hate me."
Melissa shook her head, "No, I mean betrayal by someone you trust. But since you turned down the apple, you could find out whose going to back stab you....but what do I know? I just got that off "Discovery Channel" last night!", Melissa laughed.
A anime sweat drop dripped down Ravens head again as someone did the *phi- tit-ts* on the drums on stage.
"Well, that was convenient.", Melissa laughed.
"Wow...and for a moment there I thought you were serious.", Raven said sarcastically. Ally giggled and laughed along with Melissa.
"You guy's are really two of a kind, y'know?", Raven said.
"We know!", They both laughed as they wrapped their arms around each other's shoulders.
"Yeah...,I know you too will go along nicely.", Raven said as she leaned back in her chair and smiled at the two.
Melissa wiped a tear as she laughed, "S-So anything else you wanna talk about? I've got to be going home soon.", Melissa flicked her wrist and checked her watch, "It's almost like 11:00. Don't forget I need to get lil' Ally to my grandparents. My gram-gram (grandma) should be picking us up soon."
"11:00, huh? I'll have to go in a while, also. Those guys should be wondering what took me so long for a night stroll. I should probably go now.", Raven got up from her chair and began to leave.... but then she remembered something she forgot to ask. She sat back down, "Melissa? How would make up after you fought with someone?"
Melissa grinned, "Ooooo....make up, huh? Well....let me think about it...you could always buy the person a gift or something?"
Raven shook her head as she crossed her leg's and folded her arms across her chest. She did this every time she was either worried or bored in most situations "Somehow, I do not think a gift may be good enough. Do you have anything else?"
"Well...you can always give him a make-up kiss, y'know?" Melissa asked inquisitively as she puckered her lips.
Raven anime sweat dropped as she waved her hands, "Kiss? Sorry, but I don't think I can do that."
Melissa quirked her brow slyly, "Oooo...so Beast Boy won't get one?"
"I don't know, yet." She awkwardly replied as she scratched her head.
Melissa snickered, "Aha! So it is, Beast Boy!" she said out load as she stood up and pointed at her. The music in the cafe began to slow down and stop. The crowd of teens sitting in their seats all turned their attentions to Melissa. A low cricket chirp echoed through out the room.
Melissa could feel a hot blush flush to her cheeks. She rubbed the back of her head, "Sorry, folks. Heh-heh. Didn't mean to interrupt." She said as she held up a thumb's up sign.
The crowd of teens shrugged their shoulders and continued to whatever they were recently doing. The music got cut back on and Melissa let out a embarrassing breath of relief.
Raven quirked a brow, " So, I guess that'll show you for having such a big mouth."
Melissa rubbed the back of her head again and smiled. " Well, yeah it's a habit. So what happened?"
Raven tucked a palm underneath her chin as she made imaginary circles with her finger on the coffee table, " You really are stubborn aren't you?"
Melissa shrugged her shoulders and smiled as she innocently replied, "I don't know. You tell me."
"I don't really want to talk about it. But besides that I've had one confusing vision."
"K, it's alright. You don't have to say anything if you don't wanna...but you've sparked my troublesome curious mind. Vision, huh?"
Raven rubbed the side of her nose, "Well it was pretty weird. I don't suppose you can answer this one for me?"
Melissa folded her arms behind her head, "Hey, I can do that shoot."
Raven cleared her throat, "Well it was sort of stupid. It was the whole "destroy" everything cliche. You know, like someone wanted to destroy the world?"
Melissa quirked a brow as she counted on her fingers, "You mean like Knives from Trigun? Or Vincent from Cowboy Bebop? Or like the wicked witch of the w-?"
"Yeah sure let's go with one of those guys.", Raven interruptted.
"But the witch is a girl?", Melissa replied.
"Fine, just whoever. Just tell me if you were the only who could stop it? Would you? Even if it meant sacrificing your um...let's say closet friend?", Raven asked. Slightly annoyed by Melissa's nonsense.
Melissa cocked her brow and pondered why Raven would ask such a question. She sat back in her chair "It depends I guess."
"Depends on what?", Raven asked as folded her arms on the table.
"Depends if your friend will be alright in the end? He will still be alive, right?" Melissa asked
Raven nodded, "Sure but what if Bea- I mean that friend forgets you in the process?"
"Well you can-" Melissa was cut off as a car horn outside beeped several times. It was a novelty horn and it was a quacking duck?
Melissa picked up her guitar on the floor and slung it over her shoulder, "Sorry, Rae I got to talk to you later. C'mon, Ally. My gram is here."
Ally nodded, "K, bye Raven. It was really nice that you helped me." she said as she waved at her.
Melissa got up and took Ally's hand. Melissa got up from her chair but Raven grabbed her back , "Melissa, you have to tell me. What would you do?"
Melissa rubbed her chin, "Rae? Is this really important or something?" she asked as a anime sweat drop dripped down her head. The quacking horn outside quacked louder. " Rae, my gram is waiting. And I don't know what I'd do. That's a hard call."
Ally turned around and smiled, "That's easy, Raven. Just make sure when it's over, you remember to remind him in the end."
Melissa nodded at Ally, "Hey, nice answer. Couldn't come up with that. Ya see, Rae? Just remind him. Don't know why you asked me such a weird question...but whatever. Hope nothing like that happens to you." Melissa held up a peace sign, " Well, see you later. My grams won't stop honking till I get out there, y'know."
"Yeah..sure. See you guys later.", Raven said as she waved good bye to her friends.
"Same to you.", Melissa replied back.
The door swung creakily back and forth as it shut behind them as they left .
Raven could hear Melissa shouting outside "Hey Gram! I've got a surprise for you and gramps tonight!"
Raven grinned as she sat in her seat. Her grin soon faded and she began to think about the reply her friends have given her, "Just...,just remind him in the end?", Raven repeated to herself. Raven pondered in thought as she sat up from her chair and placed a couple of bills on the table for the young teen clerk behind the bar who wiped the counter with a gray rag.
She pushed in her chair and then tucked her hood over her head once again. She strolled past by a couple of tables and that's when she noticed a certain man with a grey beard sitting in a table near the exit.
The man tipped his hat up and looked up to her, "Well, well, isn't it lil Raven? How you are this night?
Raven turned her head around and grinned, "Cold Poppa is that you? You cat, what brings you here tonight? You don't play til tomorrow night."
Cold Poppa leaned back in his chair, "Well, it's not like I don't have a life. I do enjoy coming here and just plain conversate with young' uns. Gotta stay up beat." Cold Poppa smiled warmly. "Didn't mean to eaves drop, but I hear you'z having some boy trouble."
Raven playfully punched the old man in the arm, "C.P., I can't believe you did that."
Cold Poppa laughed, "Aww, c'mon. Don't be like that. But y'know I've gotz to give youz some advice."
Raven folded her arms, "And what would that be?"
Cold Poppa took a cigarette from his front jacket pocket. He took a silver lighter out and lit a spark on the blunt edge of his stick. He took in a slow puff.
Raven grimaced, "You know that's not good for you." Raven said as she took a seat. "Especially...well you know, at your age."
Cold Poppa laughed, "I know. But heck, I thought at least of trying it. It's a good thing a cool cat like me has 9 lives." he laughed.
Raven smiled as she quirked a brow.
" And once you do, you can't quit. Real shame, really...but now for your boy trouble," Cold Poppa hunched slightly on the table and glanced at Raven from the corner of his eye, " You don't have to do something like kiss him or buy him a gift, y'know?"
"Then what do I do?" Raven asked.
Cold Poppa took in another slow puff, "Just do something nice. Y'know, do something nice. Something that you know will make him feel good. And it'll make you feel good also. That's all."
Raven nodded her head, "That sounds practical."
Cold Poppa nodded back in reply also, "It really is, most people don't see it like that though. People sometimes think if you buy them something, it'll make things better. But It won't. You need to give something from the heart, y'know?" Cold Poppa said as he stuck his thumb and poked his left chest.
Raven stared at Cold Poppa's hand gesture as he continued smoking his cigarette. A dull silence came between them. A thin smile crossed her lips. She shook her head, smiling as she pushed in her chair.
Cold Poppa sat up straight in his seat and waved to her, "G'night lil Raven."
Cold Poppa took in another puff, but before he did, Raven plucked it from his mouth. She twirled it in between her fingers.
Cold Poppa confusingly looked at Raven, "Lil Rae? Now why'd you do that?"
Raven smiled slyly, "Because, you've helped me. So now I'm helping you."
Cold Poppa chuckled as he took out another cigarette, "Ya really care about others, don't ya?" he asked as he cupped his hands and lit a match for another amber spark on his stick. Cold Poppa took in a slow puff, "Take care of that boy ya got. Whoever he is, is sure lucky to have someone like you." Cold Poppa exhaled the translucent smoke from his nose, "See you later, Lil Raven."
Raven smiled as she pointed to a clear visible red sign hanging on the swinging front door. It clearly was labeled, "No Smoking."
Cold Poppa looked behind him and smiled. He shrugged his shoulders, "Well, I've always been a do-gooder. Why break that title now?" he chuckled as he stubbed out the cigarette on the coffee table.
Raven smiled, "Thanks, C.P. You have a good night too."
Cold Poppa stretched his arms as he slung one over the back of the chair, "Ya, you too. Now git a going. It's late. I probably guessin that your boy is waiting for you."
Raven nodded and walked out the swinging doors...
She came back, "Do you really think so, C.P ? "
"Mm-h, he probably worried sick right about now. By the way, you'll be here tomorrow for another jazz session with me and the others?" Cold Poppa replied.
"Thanks, Pop's. I'll fly by." Raven replied as she walked back out the swinging doors.
Cold Poppa smiled as he rolled his eyes in his seat, "Teen Love...., Lil Rae must be happy." he said to himself as he silently chuckled. He folded his arms over the coffee table and raised a finger up to the teen waiter passing him by, "Hey, Johnny. Hold up, ill take a coffee. Make it black."
The young spiky red head dressed in baggy blue clothes nodded, "Sure thing, Pops." he replied as he left for his order.
Cold Poppa cricked his neck, "Oh yeah...." he groaned. "My old bones wearing out on me. I must be down.... to 3 lives now." he chuckled.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Raven walked along the street side walked and she was thinking. "Just remind him in the end?", Raven nodded in thought, "Pretty good answer, especially from a 5-year old.", Raven nodded again as she leaped into the air. Flying would get her home much faster. She thought about what she was going to do as she glided through the air. If her emotions were right then if she didn't do what she was told, then what she saw would come true. "I should probably do something nice for him like Cold Poppa said..I at least owe him that. Beast Boy has showed me much kindness...and more.", Raven shook her head, she had came to a decision.
"It's the only way. It's really very practical when you think about and.....am I talking to myself? God...I must really be bothered with this.", Raven shook her head again. She began to wonder if her emotions were wrong and she makes a horrid mistake?
"God, this is no time to doubt things. I'm going through with what I think is right!......Gaaah! I'm talking to myself again! I've got to stop talking and complaining to myself! I'm Raven! My emotions can't be in control! I control them! I think I do....", Raven rubbed her forehead. She knew it now. What she had to do would really bother her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Beast Boy waited patiently on the couch. The clock ticking silently by as the minutes passed. Beast Boy turned his head to the clock in the kitchen. It was a quarter past 11. Beast Boy bit his forefinger. He wondered where Raven was. Whenever Beast Boy got this worried, he would always turn up the volume on the T.V. The loud music blared in the room and the loud echoing ringed through the whole tower.
Cyborg tossed and turned on his steel slate of bed. Cyborg banged the back of his head on the cool steel slate A red anime vein pulsed on his forehead over the blind covering his eyes. He held his wrist up to his face. He lifted the flap over his eye and dialed in a frequency to a certain somebody's communicator, "C'mon, BB! That girl is going get here eventually! She doesn't need you waiting for her! Now go to bed!", Cyborg shouted from his room.
Starfire rubbed her eyes and awoke from Cyborg's shout. This noise also deprived her of her slumber. Starfire shut her eyes as she lazily groped her desktop table. She opened one drawer and took out her Titan com-link. She dialed in a frequency to talk to Robin. Starfire sighed, "Robin....it is very noisy. Do Earth people usually do this at the late night? I have not been able to stay up that long before to notice if you do", she yawned as she rubbed her eye.
Robin tossed and turned in his bed. A pillow was crammed over his head. Robin gritted his teeth, "No, Star. We don't.", Robin definitely had enough of those two other teammates of his. " Star? Could you turn off your volume for a minute?"
"Why, Robin?"
"Just, please...turn it off. Would you like it if I stopped those two from arguing?"
Starfire nodded, "Yes, Robin. That would be ever most convenient."
"Consider it done." Robin replied.
"Thank you, Robin. That is very nice of you." Starfire said.
"G'night, Starfire." Robin said as he smiled.
Good night, Robin." Starfire replied as she clicked her communicator off.
Starfire yawned happily as she stretched her arms and tossed the communicator behind her. She was to tired to put it back. She'll figure out where it landed in the morning. She pulled her purple blanket closer around her. She snuggled warmly into it and tucked in her legs. She gave one more happy yawn before she went back to sleeping peacefully.
When Robin heard the "click" of, he turned his up to Beast Boy's and Cyborg's frequency. He calmly took in a deep breath, " Would you two stop arguing and go to bed!!!!!!"
Cyborg and Beast Boy jumped out of their seats, "AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" they both screamed aloud.
Cyborg grunted and was sprawled across the floor. He reached for his com-link, " Okay fine! I'll leave that little green doof alone...if he goes to bed!!"
Beast Boy picked up his communicator, "Hey, Cy! You are not my dad! I'll go to bed when I want to!"
Robin and Cyborg sighed.
"Fine when she gets back, go straight to bed! Got that!", Cyborg shouted as he balled his fist.
Robin tucked his arm behind his head, "Yeah, Beast Boy. It is kind of late y'know?"
Beast Boy grabbed his com-link "Fine, I promise. When she get's here I'll got to bed, kay?"
"K, then. Robin, over and out." Robin replied as he turned it off and accurately threw it on his desktop table.
"Yeah, me too. G'night, ya little doof", Cyborg said as he clicked his communicator off on his arm
Beast Boy grunted and muttered under his breath to Cyborg, "Hmph, same to you. G'night Tinman."
Seconds later Beast Boy heard a faint creak echo through the tower. Beast Boy ears twitched, sounded like someone just came in. It came from downstairs. Beast Boy immediately jumped from his seat and ran to the door. A cloaked head peered through and she found a smiling kitten at her feet.
Raven quirked a brow "Beast Boy? That you? What are you still doing up?"
Beast Boy reverted back to normal and he rubbed the back of his head, "Nothing. I was um....I was just....uh...."
"You weren't staying up for me, were you?", Raven asked as she crossed her arms.
A anime sweat drop dripped down his head, "Well..yeah. I was heh-heh...I was-", Beast Boy blushed as he gazed along the floor.
Raven finished his sentence, "Worried?".
Beast Boy awkwardly sighed, " Was it that obvious?"
Raven smiled underneath her hood, "So, Pop's was right." she said to herself.
"It really is", Raven replied, "Well thanks I guess it was nice of you to stay up for me?", Raven yawns, "It's real late though. We both should go to bed.".
Raven strolled past Beast Boy but Beast Boy grabbed her hand and pulled her back,
"Um...Raven?"
Raven turned around, "What now, Beast Boy?".
Beast Boy gulped as he handed Raven a little rectangular purple wrapped package to her.
Raven held the shiny wrapped gift in her hand's, "Wha- What is this?"
Beast Boy gulped again, "Um..., open it."
Raven looked at the mysterious package. She tussled in between her hands. It was very light.
Beast Boy waved his hands, "Rae! Be careful! It's fragile."
Raven quirked a brow, "What exactly is this?"
Beast Boy lightly smiled, "Well if you open it, I hope you like it."
AAWWW....A GIFT...FROM BB?

Raven nodded and walked out the swinging doors...
She came back, "Do you really think so, C.P ? "
"Mm-h, he probably worried sick right about now. By the way, you'll be here tomorrow for another jazz session with me and the others?" Cold Poppa replied.
"Thanks, Pop's. I'll fly by." Raven replied as she walked back out the swinging doors.
Cold Poppa smiled as he rolled his eyes in his seat, "Teen Love...., Lil Rae must be happy." he said to himself as he silently chuckled. He folded his arms over the coffee table and raised a finger up to the teen waiter passing him by, "Hey, Johnny. Hold up, ill take a coffee. Make it black."
The young spiky red head dressed in baggy blue clothes nodded, "Sure thing, Pops." he replied as he left for his order.
Cold Poppa cricked his neck, "Oh yeah...." he groaned. "My old bones wearing out on me. I must be down.... to 3 lives now." he chuckled.

Raven walked along the street side walked and she was thinking. "Just remind him in the end?", Raven nodded in thought, "Pretty good answer, especially from a 5-year old.", Raven nodded again as she leaped into the air. Flying would get her home much faster. She thought about what she was going to do as she glided through the air. If her emotions were right then if she didn't do what she was told, then what she saw would come true. "I should probably do something nice for him like Cold Poppa said..I at least owe him that. Beast Boy has showed me much kindness...and more.", Raven shook her head, she had came to a decision.
"It's the only way. It's really very practical when you think about and.....am I talking to myself? God...I must really be bothered with this.", Raven shook her head again. She began to wonder if her emotions were wrong and she makes a horrid mistake?
"God, this is no time to doubt things. I'm going through with what I think is right!......Gaaah! I'm talking to myself again! I've got to stop talking and complaining to myself! I'm Raven! My emotions can't be in control! I control them! I think I do....", Raven rubbed her forehead. She knew it now. What she had to do would really bother her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Beast Boy waited patiently on the couch. The clock ticking silently by as the minutes passed. Beast Boy turned his head to the clock in the kitchen. It was a quarter past 11. Beast Boy bit his forefinger. He wondered where Raven was. Whenever Beast Boy got this worried, he would always turn up the volume on the T.V. The loud music blared in the room and the loud echoing ringed through the whole tower.
Cyborg tossed and turned on his steel slate of bed. Cyborg banged the back of his head on the cool steel slate A red anime vein pulsed on his forehead over the blind covering his eyes. He held his wrist up to his face. He lifted the flap over his eye and dialed in a frequency to a certain somebody's communicator, "C'mon, BB! That girl is going get here eventually! She doesn't need you waiting for her! Now go to bed!", Cyborg shouted from his room.
Starfire rubbed her eyes and awoke from Cyborg's shout. This noise also deprived her of her slumber. Starfire shut her eyes as she lazily groped her desktop table. She opened one drawer and took out her Titan com-link. She dialed in a frequency to talk to Robin. Starfire sighed, "Robin....it is very noisy. Do Earth people usually do this at the late night? I have not been able to stay up that long before to notice if you do", she yawned as she rubbed her eye.
Robin tossed and turned in his bed. A pillow was crammed over his head. Robin gritted his teeth, "No, Star. We don't.", Robin definitely had enough of those two other teammates of his. " Star? Could you turn off your volume for a minute?"
"Why, Robin?"
"Just, please...turn it off. Would you like it if I stopped those two from arguing?"
Starfire nodded, "Yes, Robin. That would be ever most convenient."
"Consider it done." Robin replied.
"Thank you, Robin. That is very nice of you." Starfire said.
"G'night, Starfire." Robin said as he smiled.
Good night, Robin." Starfire replied as she clicked her communicator off.
Starfire yawned happily as she stretched her arms and tossed the communicator behind her. She was to tired to put it back. She'll figure out where it landed in the morning. She pulled her purple blanket closer around her. She snuggled warmly into it and tucked in her legs. She gave one more happy yawn before she went back to sleeping peacefully.
When Robin heard the "click" of, he turned his up to Beast Boy's and Cyborg's frequency. He calmly took in a deep breath, " Would you two stop arguing and go to bed!!!!!!"
Cyborg and Beast Boy jumped out of their seats, "AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" they both screamed aloud.
Cyborg grunted and was sprawled across the floor. He reached for his com-link, " Okay fine! I'll leave that little green doof alone...if he goes to bed!!"
Beast Boy picked up his communicator, "Hey, Cy! You are not my dad! I'll go to bed when I want to!"
Robin and Cyborg sighed.
"Fine when she gets back, go straight to bed! Got that!", Cyborg shouted as he balled his fist.
Robin tucked his arm behind his head, "Yeah, Beast Boy. It is kind of late y'know?"
Beast Boy grabbed his com-link "Fine, I promise. When she get's here I'll got to bed, kay?"
"K, then. Robin, over and out." Robin replied as he turned it off and accurately threw it on his desktop table.
"Yeah, me too. G'night, ya little doof", Cyborg said as he clicked his communicator off on his arm
Beast Boy grunted and muttered under his breath to Cyborg, "Hmph, same to you. G'night Tinman."
Seconds later Beast Boy heard a faint creak echo through the tower. Beast Boy ears twitched, sounded like someone just came in. It came from downstairs. Beast Boy immediately jumped from his seat and ran to the door. A cloaked head peered through and she found a smiling kitten at her feet.
Raven quirked a brow "Beast Boy? That you? What are you still doing up?"
Beast Boy reverted back to normal and he rubbed the back of his head, "Nothing. I was um....I was just....uh...."
"You weren't staying up for me, were you?", Raven asked as she crossed her arms.
A anime sweat drop dripped down his head, "Well..yeah. I was heh-heh...I was-", Beast Boy blushed as he gazed along the floor.
Raven finished his sentence, "Worried?".
Beast Boy awkwardly sighed, " Was it that obvious?"
Raven smiled underneath her hood, "So, Pop's was right." she said to herself.
"It really is", Raven replied, "Well thanks I guess it was nice of you to stay up for me?", Raven yawns, "It's real late though. We both should go to bed.".
Raven strolled past Beast Boy but Beast Boy grabbed her hand and pulled her back,
"Um...Raven?"
Raven turned around, "What now, Beast Boy?".
Beast Boy gulped as he handed Raven a little rectangular purple wrapped package to her.
Raven held the shiny wrapped gift in her hand's, "Wha- What is this?"
Beast Boy gulped again, "Um..., open it."
Raven looked at the mysterious package. She tussled in between her hands. It was very light.
Beast Boy waved his hands, "Rae! Be careful! It's fragile."
Raven quirked a brow, "What exactly is this?"
Beast Boy lightly smiled, "Well if you open it, I hope you like it."
AAWWW....A GIFT...FROM BB?
