Movin' right along to Chapter 4... (Teen Titans is not owned by me)
Terra and Beast Boy ran toward each other at full force. Beast Boy suddenly turned into a kangaroo with boxing gloves and started punching at Terra. She ducked down to avoid the swing.
"Hey! That's not fair! How am I supposed to fight you like that?"
Beast Boy returned to normal. "Just keeping you on your toes." He turned back into a kangaroo and kicked out his legs.
Terra barely had enough time to jump back. "What do you think you're..." Beast Boy kicked her and she slid backward with the wind knocked out of her. She fell to the ground clutching her stomach.
Beast Boy quickly changed back and ran toward her. "Oh my God, Terra. I'm sorry. I was just playing around." He kneeled beside her and was about to touch her hand.
Suddenly, she gave him an uppercut and he fell backward onto the mat. "That's for fighting dirty." Realizing what she did, she ran over to him. "Oh no, Beast Boy."
The other four were watching intently. "What wusses. Is it just going to go on like this all night?" Cyborg sat uncomfortably in his seat.
Raven crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "This is pointless."
"Beast Boy, are you OK?" Terra leaned over him when Beast Boy suddenly clutched her arms and flipped her over his head. She fell onto her back and landed with a thud on her collarbone. "Ow!"
Beast Boy quickly ran over and was poised over her body, holding her arms down. "I'm not falling for that again."
Terra struggled but couldn't break free from Beast Boy's grip. "OK, I guess you win." She looked away and closed her eyes.
Beast Boy pulled her face to his. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."
Terra pounded her fists against his chest. "Well, you did, you big meanie." She looked away again.
Beast Boy laid on top of her and hugged her tightly. "I guess I deserve that." He started to kiss her neck and Terra breathed more heavily. She pulled him closer and they started kissing.
"OK, that's enough!" Raven stood up with a red glow in her eyes. "This is supposed to be a fight, not a make out session." Cyborg, Robin and Starfire edged away from her.
Cyborg whispered off to the side. "Aw, man. Just when it was getting good."
Terra looked up at her. "Lay off."
Raven levitated down to the arena floor. "You're supposed to be training, or have you forgotten why you're here?"
Terra stood up and waved a fist at her. "Just because you're jealous of Beast Boy and me doesn't mean you have to take it out on me."
Raven scowled intensely. "Jealous? What are you talking about?"
"I know you like Beast Boy. You don't have to play dumb."
"WHAT?! No! I...don't!"
"How convincing."
"Look, you bitch. If it's a fight you're looking for..."
"Whoa! Stop it!" Beast Boy got between them. "What's gotten into you two? In only a few days time you two went from friends to enemies. I...I need to go."
Terra squeezed his hand. "Yeah, let's go."
"No, Terra. I just want to be alone for a while."
Terra and Raven both watched Beast Boy ascend the stairs without looking back. When he disappeared from sight, they gazed at each other and narrowed their eyes.
Robin jumped down from the balcony. "Um, I think we better stop for today."
Starfire flew next to Raven. "Is it true what Terra speaks? Do you have, how they say, the hots for Beast Boy?"
Raven growled at Starfire. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" The railing around the balcony got enveloped in blackness and exploded. "Just leave me alone!" She ran up the stairs as fast as she could. While she did, her powers caused various bolts and pieces of railing to fly from the stairwell. When she finally reached the top, she collapsed onto the ground and put her hands in her face. Suddenly she felt a hand touch her shoulder.
"Hey." It was Beast Boy. He had been sitting against the wall. "There something you want to tell me now?"
Raven jumped back and was panting heavily. "I...can't talk now." A nearby table overturned and flew around the corridor, barely missing Beast Boy. "Shit, I'm losing control." She clutched her head. The pain was throbbing in her temple and she felt as if the room was spinning wildly out of control. The nearby lights burst and the corridor grew very dark. "Get away, Beast Boy."
Beast Boy grabbed Raven's arm and pulled her toward him. Surprised at his brashness, her eyes widened and it grew silent.
"Are you OK, Raven?"
"Y-yeah. I think it's stopped."
He wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her. "Good."
Raven was ready to slap him but couldn't bring herself to do it. "D-don't, please."
Beast Boy let her go and stepped back. "I-I'm sorry." He ran down the corridor without looking back.
Everyone else made it up the stairs. "Is everything OK, Raven?" Robin ran over to her.
She couldn't even speak. She just walked right past everyone, heading to the sanctity of her room.
I'm hoping you've enjoyed it so far. I'm afraid it'll be a longer wait for the next chapter. The reason these chapters were posted so quickly is because they were already written out, and I'm in the process of writing chapter 5 right now. Just know that I haven't forgotten. Until the next time, TT fans...
