The next morning the Titans woke to a batch of waffles, courtesy of Beast Boy. He had gotten up extra early to make them, and they turned out perfect. The Titans all sat around the table eating them, scarfing down as many as possible. All except Cyborg, who got up late and refused to eat Bb's "tofu stuff." He opened the cupboard and grumbled, pulling out the half-empty box.
"What the- Who's been in my cereal!? He demanded, peering into the box. He poured himself a bowl, waiting for an answer. Starfire swallowed the mouthful of waffles she was eating, and smiled.
"I got hungry last night and ate them." She explained, and Ravens eyes got big. Star was taking the blame for Death.
"Well why didn't you eat you OWN cereal!?" he asked, getting the milk out. Star shrugged.
"I wanted to try yours." She finally decided.
"Next time, don't eat half the box, OK?" he said, sitting down at the table.
"I had the strangest dream last night…" Robin began, trying to change the subject. "There was this thing…a little animal of some sort, kinda round, black in color, with real big eyes. It like...attacked me, and then Raven took it away and I went back to sleep."
Starfire glanced at Raven, but Raven only gave her an "I'll explain later" look.
"It sounds insane, but it felt so real. Maybe you'll lend me that Dream Dictionary Raven?" he asked, grinning at her. She nodded blankly, feeling thankful that he had believed it was only a dream. She didn't have long to be thankful though, before Beast Boy spoke up, about the same thing.
"Oh yeah, well Raven sent the thing into my room to lick my face!" He said, sticking his tounge out at Robin.
"And then Raven took it away?" Robin asked, wondering to himself if maybe it hadn't been a dream ...
"More like SNATCHED it away. You should have seen the look on her face. It was a mix of shock, disgustion and horror. It was funny."
Raven sank lower and lower into her chair, pulling the cloak over her head. Only Starfire seemed to notice.
"Friends, tonight for dinner we are having Mint Frosting Pizza, suggested by Raven." Star declared. The others nodded. Starfire made a wicked Mint Frosting Pizza.
Raven ate another waffle before she stood up to empty the dishwasher. She silently put them away, listening to the other Titans continue to argue about the appearance of the "thing."
"BLACK with GREEN eyes."
"Dude, it was BROWN with RED eyes!"
"How would you know, it was MY dream!"
"Maybe it wasn't a dream."
All eyes then turned to Raven, who was sweeping up the shards of a plate she dropped. She grinned nervously.
"What?" she asked, dumping the dust-pan into the trash. Robin glanced at BB.
"He thinks you and some little animal raided our rooms last night." Robin said, snatching a waffle off of BB's plate, and scarfing it down.
BB glared at Robin, but didn't say anything. They wated for Raven to reply, but she only rolled her eyes at them, which they took for a no. Sighing, Raven raided the fridge, taking out a plum and an orange.
"Rae, are you on a diet or someting, That's all you've been eating." Beast Boy began, trying to end the awkward silence.
She shrugged. "There's nothing wrong with eating healthy."
"Yeah, but I think you're over doing it."
"Well I didn't ask you!" She snapped at him, watching Robin take another one of BB's waffles. She spun on her heels, and went angrily back to her room, where she found Death napping.
