Author's note: Sorry the first chapter was sort of slow, but I promise this chapter is more interesting.(Especially if you're a BB/R shipper)

I don't own any of these characters.


Chapter 2 "Eavesdropping and Bad Dreams"

Beast Boy was sitting in his room staring at the ceiling. 'This is so boring, how does she stand to be so serious all the time? There's nothing to do. How long has it been?' Beast Boy looked at his watch '44 hours, 23 minutes, and 18 seconds. Only 291 hours, 36 minutes, and 37 seconds left...Maybe I'll go get a snack...'

In the meeting room, Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg were discussing the bet. "Who do you think will be the victor?" Starfire asked.

"My money is on Raven. There is no way that BB, can last 2 whole weeks, I'm surprised he's lasted this long! He won't make it to tomorrow afternoon" Cyborg stated.

"I've got to agree, there is no way that he can last that long. He might have been able to last that long if he couldn't tell a joke, but no laughing? That's just not possible." Robin said, "What do you think Star?"

"I think you are both underestimating Beast Boy."

"So you actually think he'll win?!" Robin asked, a little surprised, Starfire was loyal, sure, but she wasn't stupid.

"No! Of course I do not think he will win, but maybe he'll last a little longer than tomorrow." Starfire said. Just outside the meeting room door, Beast Boy stood listening to his friends joke about him being too weak to be able to win the bet. He'd been on his way to the kitchen when he heard them talking. The comments the others had made had really hurt Beast Boy. It seemed they didn't respect him at all, Starfire hadn't even thought he could do it. 'I can't believe they don't think I can control myself! Well, I'll show them! I'll show all of them, I'll win this bet, and I'll prove to them I can be serious!'

Meanwhile, Raven was sitting her room, trying to meditate. She'd been trying to meditate for the past half hour, and she couldn't clear her thoughts. She kept thinking back to the battle two days ago. Every time she closed her eyes, she could see Cinderblock throwing Beast Boy into a wall, and knocking him out. She kept seeing Cinderblock lifting Beast Boy up and throwing him off the rooftop like a rag doll. She couldn't get the image of Beast Boy's limp and falling body out of her head. Had she not seen him fall, had she not caught him, he would have died. When the rest of the titans saw he was hurt, they stopped pursuing Cinderblock, and ran to help. And all Beast Boy said when he woke up was "Did we win?" Oh how angry that had made her! 'Did we win?'! How was it that he could make her go crazy by just saying three words? All he had to say was three little words to make her go crazy...why was he the only one that could make her explode like that? Why was it that she couldn't control her emotions around him? Why couldn't he just leave her thoughts alone? Again the image of his falling body flickered across her mind...the thought of almost losing him made her skin crawl. Suddenly, the image changed, 'Beast Boy's body continued to fall. Raven was there, but she couldn't save him, her powers were failing her. Abruptly his body hit, and it shattered into thousands of pieces. Her body seemed to feel the same impact, and then, she felt nothing, just emptiness. He was gone, and all they could do was mourn. Days past, and then weeks, the tower became quiet. No one spoke, or played games or...laughed. They all kept to themselves, they all were lost in their own pain. Raven could only stare, she couldn't sleep, she couldn't eat, she couldn't even cry...for hours, she just stared at his old pictures...she wanted so badly to tell him...to say-' Raven woke up with a start. 'I must have fallen asleep...but...but it felt so real.' Raven shivered once, and tried to put the disturbing dream out of her mind.
