Raven's Diary – Do you want to get blown into fifty thousand tiny pieces? Didn't think so. Don't read it.
Beastboy just pushed an envelope under my door.
There's a poem inside. And guess what it is?
The Raven
By Edgar Allen Poe.
Yeah, that's right. My favourite poem. Not that anyone knows that, of course. I just can't believe it.
He probably didn't even read it.
But it's the thought that counts right?
This poem always made me unsure of myself. The Raven is a prophet of evil, right? And all it ever says is 'Nevermore'.
Am I a bit like the Raven? It drives the man in the poem to insanity, mourning for his lost love. Or am I more like the man? Not the mourning for lost love part – here, I'll write this bit down.
But
the Raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if its soul in that one word he did outpour
Nothing farther then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered--
Till I scarcely more than muttered: "Other friends have flown before--
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before."
Then the bird said "Nevermore."
The part about friends leaving. I'm always sort of scared that the other Titans don't want me hanging around. I'm always sitting apart from them.
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before."
He will leave me… OK, is this some kind of sign? He will leave me?
He being Beastboy?
OK, I'm going to admit it. And I'm only going to say this once.
Well, more write, as you can't actually hear, being a diary.
Yes, I am stalling for time against my diary.
How pitiful.
OK, here goes…
I love Beastboy;
Yes, that's right. Only, I've probably screwed it up, running out on him yesterday and everything.
Or have I?
If I had would he have given me a poem? Wouldn't he just have left me to rot in here?
Interesting…
Afternoon
I've come up with a plan.
I'm going to tell him that I love him.
Idiotic, yes. But I'm never going to be able to stop thinking about it unless I do.
I know for a fact that Starfire and Robin are going up to be in the training room tonight. Cyborg and Zoé will be watching a film. So I shall get Beastboy up to the roof and tell him. Quick and painless.
Like dousing yourself in petrol and setting yourself alight.
OK, so not really quick or painless. But it has to be done.
What time is it?
It can't be time already! Oh my god, it is. Well here goes.
It's has to be done.
And it has to be done now.

Day 9 – Morning
I have spoken to Robin this morning about the plan to get Raven and Beastboy to the position of 'Dating'. And he also was thinking about it.
Surely we are destined to be together?
Anyway, we are going to get Raven and Beastboy onto the roof. Zoé and Cyborg also want to help. So we are going to set up a romantic setting on the roof. There will be flowers and candles and nice music.
Very romantic, yes?
Of course it is. And once they are up there it will provide the perfect setting for romance to blossom, like a daisy!
I like Daisies. Robin bought me some this morning.
So, hopefully by tomorrow all will be well in Titans Tower!
Afternoon
Oh, BODO, how I wish you had eyes, so that you could see our lovely decorations!
It is all so lovely and colourful on the roof. Zoé and I are most pleased with our work, and Cyborg and Robin were speechless with delight when they saw it!
I am sure that Raven and Beastboy will also be delighted.
Perhaps I should bake them a congratulatory cake, for the beginning of their new relationship!
Hee.
Anyway, Robin and I are in the training room at this moment. He is also writing in a BODO. I wonder if he ever writes about me…
Raven and Beastboy are going up to the roof!
How exciting! I will inform you tomorrow, of what happens here.

Beastboy's Diary – If you read my diary, I will turn into one of those poisonous frogs and lick you.
Day 9 – Morning
I found the perfect poem for Raven! I just slipped it under her door this morning.
It was called 'The Raven'. I read like ten times but I didn't really get it. From what I got, this guy was all depressed because his girlfriend 'Lenore' has left him. And he hears someone knocking on his door but there's no one there. And this raven flies in and keeps saying 'Nevermore'.
I didn't really get the ending either. I think the guy might have died, or something. I'll try to find out.
I hope she likes it. I'm getting kinda worried. Maybe I should just go and tell her how I feel.
Because, yeah, I like her. No, scratch that, I love her.
I love her. Seriously.
I dunno why. We've never really been that close until recently. What is it about her? I just can't stop thinking about her.
I'm obsessed.
So, do I tell her? Or don't I?
I tell her.
Afternoon
OK, plan is organised. Kinda.
I take her up the roof and tell her.
Not a great plan, I know, but it's the best I could come up with. I was also trying to beat my top score on Autoracer '93.
Which I did. So go me.
So the roof. Should be good, right? And if she tells me where to go, I can always jump off.
It's nearly time to go. I'll go ask her to come up to the roof because I need a word.
Yeah… well, if it goes well I'll tell you.
If not…
Let's just not go there.
************************************************************************
Cyborg's Diary – Keep your hands off or I'll run you over in the T-Car.
Day 9 – Morning
Zoé is coming over in a few minutes, so I have to do this quickly.
Well, this morning was actually pretty boring. Raven and Beastboy have stayed locked in their respective rooms, Starfire and Robin have been talking all morning and I have playing videogames and working on the T- Car.
Oh yes, and I took Ed and Spike for a walk.
They're so damn cute.
It sounds less girly if I say damn before cute.
Afternoon
OK, so Zoé came over after work and we found out what Robin and Starfire were talking about all morning.
They're gonna set up Beastboy and Raven. So Zoé and I offered to help.
Only Robin and I kinda got pushed out as they started making all these plans. So we got a drink while they organised the roof.
Only when we got up there it was like something out of a Barbie advert. Everything was pink.
Pink flowers falling through the air and all over the ground, pink candles stuck around and giant pink hearts stuck all over the place.
Robin and I couldn't say a word. They were so proud of themselves.
So Robin and Starfire went to the training room, and Zoé and I are watching a movie. I think Raven and Beastboy just went upstairs.
Should be interesting to see what happens.

Robin's Diary – Look at all the Stars in the sky. Keep reading and you'll soon be floating among them.
Day 9 – Morning
OK, so Starfire and I have decided to set Raven and Beastboy up. I'm not usually into this kinda thing, but I'm fed up with the pair of them. They're always avoiding each other and it's so awkward. It'll be much easier if they just get together.
Plus, it gives me a chance to hang out with Starfire.
Plus, plus, I'm bored. My foot is STILL broken. I haven't trained in days. Starfire won't let me. She says that if I train, I'll hurt myself, and if I keep hurting myself I will end up unable to fight. And she won't protect me because it'll be my own silly fault.
Her words. Not mine.
So, we've been talking all morning. I gave her a bunch of daises, and she really liked them. I loved seeing the smile on her face when I gave them to her. You'd think I'd given her the world.
Well, Zoé's just arrived. Cyborg will be happy.
Starfire's calling. Maybe she made me another spongecake.
Afternoon
Well, Zoé, Cyborg, Starfire and I set up the roof.
Well, actually Starfire and Zoé set up the roof. Cyborg and I had a drink and talked about training.
It looks… pink. Very nice. But Pink.
I'm not quite sure how Raven and BB are going to react. We'll have to see.
Never mind.
Anyway, it should be OK. They obviously like each other. A little excess pinkness shouldn't do anything too bad, right?
And I can't say anything. I don't want to hurt Starfire's feelings. She was so proud of herself. And it really doesn't look that bad. Just… pink.
I can hear Raven and Beastboy going up to the roof right now.
I'd better make sure that Ed and Spike are out of the way. If it goes wrong I don't want Raven getting to them before I do.
