Well, what more can I say? Thankyou guys for reviewing (Minor note: Thanks
for the Barret. I didn't know what the hat was called). It's really great
that other people like this story. I'm really really sorry for the wait.
So here's the next chapter.
Chapter 6
Beastboy, Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire stood outside the entrance of the cafe. Everyone seemed nervous except Beastboy who didn't even show any emotion.
"You ready Beastboy?" Robin asked.
"Now remember the plays," Cyborg said. "And try not to blow it."
"You'll do fine," Starfire added.
"Chill guys," Beastboy said. "The old has died within the flames, while the new has risen from the ashes. Have faith, for the new will triumph."
"I have no idea what you said but we know you'll do great," Cyborg said dumbfounded. And with that, Beastboy went into the cafe. And then there was a silent pause until Cyborg spoke up again. "Well, should we look after him?"
"I don't think we need to," Robin said. "He seems to know what he's doing."
"Aww man, I knew you were going to say that. Can't we just-"
"No. He needs to do this on his own. He'll be fine. And besides we don't spy on our friends."
"Spying? Who said anything about spying? I just want to see how well he does."
"Nice try." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beastboy looked around the cafe for a moment. There were round tables with seats. The stage was being used by Raven reciting one of her poems. Beastboy went to the front counter to order some coffee and began to sit down, and started listening to the rest of Raven's poems.
"And flash falls through the abyss of torment, And there was nothing there but the body The body of earth, and time, The body of life, and death, The body of the heavens"
The poem was finished and there was a loud applause of snapping fingers (I don't know what they call this) and as Raven walked down the stairs from the stage, she saw Beastboy, in black, sitting on the table with a plastic cup in his hands. At first she thought she was seeing things. It was Beastboy but he seemed different. She walked up to him.
"Beastboy? Is that you?" Raven asked just to be sure.
"Of course it's me," Beastboy said looking up her without smiling.
"By which Beastboy am I referring to?"
"The same. Will you be seated?"
Raven sat right beside him. Somehow, something didn't seem right. Not only the clothes but the personality of Beastboy were different. In fact, it made Raven actually want to be with Beastboy. Usually he was just annoying, laughing at his own jokes, and wouldn't shut up.
"I listened to your voice of the soul," Beastboy said after taking a drink of his coffee.
"What did you think of it? I'm sorry if it didn't make any sense because-"
"No, I understood completely."
"Really?" Raven said, a little surprised. She knew Beastboy wouldn't get poetry, but maybe he was just saying that to be polite.
"Yes. The twist and turns of your emotions seemed to be in a battle within as you make choices of life."
Then again, maybe not. Raven looked at what Beastboy was drinking. "Beastboy, are you drinking coffee?"
"I believe I am."
"Decaff?'
"Black and regular."
Now that was just strange. Beastboy wouldn't of never drank any coffee, even if his life depended on it. And even if he did, he would be bouncing off the walls by now. Just then, the head of the cafe, stood upon the stage.
"Alright now cool cats," He spoke. "Anybody else want to test their abilities of poetry?" He looked out in the audince and pointed to Beastboy. "How about the new with the green."
Beastboy stood up and walked up to the stage. "Well, it was nice while it lasted," Raven said. But then again Beastboy seemed to understand her poem. Though it was probably pure luck.
"Well now, what name of the wanderer shall we call you?"
"Beastboy," he said.
"Then let's see your scroll." And then he left with Beastboy still on stage.
He looked out into the audience. Then with one snap of his fingers the Bass played.
"By one mother and one father, We see the book written, One's life is but of either splendor or dread, And by that, what the risk we take, By going farther into the path---"
Now Raven was really surprised at this. Never did he recite poetry and never did he seem so... serious. This didn't seem right. Now Raven started wanting the old Beastboy back...Then again she started to like being around Beastboy. Beastboy's poem ended and started heading back to the table. Never did he smile since she saw him leaving her door which made her frown a bit. He always had a nice smile on his face. He sat down in his own seat right beside Raven. Just then, before Raven could speak, the head of the cafe' came to greet Beastboy.
"What notorious words of a gifted artist," He said. "You are definitely the voice of one's self."
"Thankyou," He said."It's by the soul which walks into mind."
"Your name's Beastboy right? We should dub you a new name. Let's see.... you have the inner rythm of poetry.... Ah Hah! I've got it. Your name will be dubbed Beatboy."
"I find it very amusing," Beastboy said thoughtfully. "Very clever indeed."
"Very well then. Let's order some nachos. My treat."
Here we go. Beastboy always was sloppy with nachos. But instead of a mess he took one chip, and ate it before going to the next one. And if this wasn't scary enough, he was holding up his pinky, while eating. Raven couldn't believe her eyes. This was just a bit too wierd with her.
After the nachos and Beastboy reciting one more poem (which astounded Raven), they decided to head home. Raven was flying along with Beastboy who had shaped shifted into an eagle. Neither spoke to each other for a while. Raven didn't know what to think of Beastboy. He was different tonight than any way she couldn't possibly imagine. And she actually enjoyed herself. But she couldn't help but feel that something wasn't right with this. Did she like him tonight for who he was or the Beastboy under the mask of the serious artist? Definitely the mask. But though she had a question to herself, she knew everything will be back to the way they were tomorrow and she'll miss the "serious artist" of Beastboy. Perhaps....
Next chapter coming soon....
