((This chapter is... well, read to find out! I ran over this chapter in my
mind so many times, except some times Raven was more violent or Rose was
too persistent... one extreme or another, basically. I think I caught it in
the middle.
Chapter Three- Love
Happy hugged Beast Boy enthusiastically. "Welcome back! I'm sooooo glad you came back! I really am! I have someone you should meet! She wasn't here before, ya know? You didn't get to meet her, but she's reeeaaallly neat and she knows ALL about you! She's been begging to see you ALL DAY LONG and I'm so glad you're here!" Beast Boy staggered to regian his balance as Happy dropped him, grabbing his hand instead.
"Come see her! Varoooooom!"
Happy mad airplane noises as she dragged Beast Boy stumbling through the flower field.
"Her cloak is kinda like mine, only not so pink, it's more like, ROSE! I love roses! She's sooooo nice! Not at all like rude or timid. She's pretty strong, too! Wait till you meet her, she'll be SOOO HAPPY which is silly because I am happy!"
Happy Raven shoved Beast Boy forward suddenly and he tripped and fell into the field of flowers.
"Ooooh! There she is! Lookie lookie! You should've seen it, Raven's been in and out ALL DAY bugging her, poor girl. It's 'cause she's strong, ya know? Raven's afraid she'll get out like anger, fear, and pain already did!"
Beast Boy heaved himself up out of the flowers and looked to see a rose colored Raven standing in the field staring at the stars in the sky. She looked so lonely, was that what emotion she was?
"Yoooohooo! Rose! Look who I've got! Now you can be happy, which is silly 'cause I'M happy!" Rose looked over and saw Beast Boy half hidden by the tall flowers.
"Beast Boy!" Rose cried out, practically diving ontop of him. "When did YOU get here?" She asked, hugging him tightly to her. Beast Boy blinked.
"Okay, this is just super wierd. And... OW!" He screamed as Rose hugged him too tight and hurt his injured back.
"Omigosh! I'm so sorry!" She cried out apologetically. "It's all right." Beast Boy assured and Rose smiled. "I'm glad."
"So... what emotion are you?" Beast Boy asked in confusion.
"I can't tell you."
"Why not?"
"Raven won't let me say. Raven hates me, she scares me."
"Even though you kinda ARE her?"
"I'm not necesarry, though." She said shaking her head. "I'm new and replacable, she could kill me and nothing would change. If she could kill me, which I'm sure she could if she really wanted to."
"Gee, Raven really hates you THAT much? Are you Loneliness?"
Rose shook her head and sighed. "I want you to know." She said softly, her hand touching his cheek lightly. She brought her other hand up to his other cheek until all her fingertips rested lightly onto his skin. His face turned pink and then red, which is odd for someone who's green. "Urhm, mysterious part of Raven, what are you doing?" Rose leaned in, her face edging closer... And then suddenly she was forcefully jerked back. Rose cried out in pain, grabbing at her hair which was being held by the real Raven.
"I TOLD YOU TO STAY DOWN LIKE ALL THE OTHERS!" Raven yelled and Rose squeaked as Raven let her hair go. Rose stood shakily and looked at Beast Boy. "AND YOU!" Raven yelled, turning to Beast Boy as well. "WHY ARE YOU IN MY MIND!?" Rose squeaked agian and grabbed Raven's hand. "Yelling at him won't solve anything!" She protested and Raven's hand came around to slap her off of her arm. Rose hit the flower bed with another yelp as Raven turned to her. "BUT YELLING AT YOU WILL!" Raven hollered and Beast Boy grabbed her hand to get her to stop.
"Raven! She didn't do anything, I swear, I don't even know what emotion she is! Happy brought me here when I passed the mirror, but she didn't mean any harm! Quit yelling!"
Raven turned to Beast Boy and removed her hand from his. She took one last glance at Rose before turning and crossing her arms. "Get out of my mind NOW, Beast Boy!" She said, her voice still raised slightly.
"No!" Rose cried. "I finally get time with Beast Boy and you take him away! You can't do that to me! It's MY TURN with Beast Boy! MINE!" She stood up and walked over to Beast Boy as Raven spun back around.
"You get away from him." She hissed demandingly and Rose frowned in defiance.
"Make me!"
"I will!"
Rose quickly turned to Beast Boy, throwing her arms around him and pulling his lips to hers. The kiss only lasted a moment before Raven snatched her off of him and tossed her back to the ground.
"You're Love!" Beast Boy blurted out, pointing to Rose. "Wait, then that means... Oh. Well. That explains a lot."
Raven looked at him with wide eye before hitting her knees and burying her head into her hands. Beast Boy dropped down in front of her, reaching out to lay a hand on her shoulder. Raven jumped back, though, shrugging off his hand.
"Go away! Get out of m head! NOW!"
Beast Boy grabbed both of her hands and pulled them away from her face. She was crying, tears running down her cheeks in rivers. In the background Timid began to walk forward, but Happy held her back and slammed her hand over her mouth. The tears quit flowing down Raven's cheeks, but still remained there, shimmering in her eyes.
"Raven..." He whispered lightly. "Out." She responded. "Now."
Beast Boy was pushed out of her mind before he could think, landed flat onto his bottom on the floor.
"Omigosh! Are you all right?" Raven's voice came from the bed as she awoke and ran over to him. Beast Boy stood and rubbed his butt. "I'm fine." He muttered, confused. "Good, I'm glad." Raven said, smiling. A nearby statue cracked. "Raven are you-" He was going to say 'okay', but the last word got lost as Raven's lips pressed against his. The statue fully shattered this time and several books spontaneously combusted, their exploded remains floating softly to the ground.
Beast Boy pulled away. Something wasn't right... "Love?" Raven nodded with a smile. "Yup! While she was acting all upset, I took my chance! Isn't that great?"
"What happened to the real Raven?"
"Oh, she's sulking somewhere in Timid's world I think. It could be a while before she even bothers trying to come back. Timid will probably convince her that everything is pointless or something depressing like that."
"But I want the REAL Raven to come back!"
"I'm a lot more fun, don't ya think?" She asked with a grin as she pressed her lips against his once more. Beast Boy pulled away and shook his head. "Okay, lay off, this is SUPER CREEPY." Raven sniffled in dissapointment. "But I love you! That means that Raven loves you too! That means it's okay, right?" Beast Boy sighed and shook his head again. "Somehow I seriously doubt that. Let Raven come back."
"I'm not stopping her, she just hasn't tried to come back yet. Like I said, she's sulking. It could be a while. Wanna go on a date while she's gone? It'll be fun!"
"I would, if it were Raven asking, but when just a part of her asks I feel like I shouldn't."
"Why?"
"Because I feel like that's kind of cheating, sneaking out behind her back, you know?"
"But I am what she feels, so why is it wrong?"
"Because you aren't EVERYTHING Raven feels. I can't go out with just one emotion, I have to accept them all." Beast Boy blinked at his words. "Okay, that was too deep for my own good."
Raven frowned. "But... oh, all right, fine... but if Raven never lets me out again and you NEVER get another chance at a date or kiss again, just know it's ALL YOUR FAULT!"
With that Raven collapsed into Beast Boy's arms... apparently asleep.
"Raven?" He asked, shaking her lightly. "Heeellooo, Raven? Earth to Raven?"
Raven muttered something, more than likely a death threat, under her breath. Beast Boy shook her again.
"Yo, Rae, up ya go. C'mon, wake up now." Raven opened one eye and then both. "What now?" She growled, standing up on her own as Beast Boy let her go. "Maybe we should get a headstart on breakfast?" He asked her and she shook her head, rubbing her eyes. "I'm going back to be, do what you will." She said, plopping down into her bed and rolling over. Beast Boy plopped down beside her and wrapped her arms around her and she jumped. "You said 'do what you will', did you not?" Beast Boy said and Raven groaned, but gave in.
Little did she know that she was smiling in her defeat.
