Raven laid on the couch comfortably in a somewhat of a deep sleep. She never felt so 'free' in her life. But now, there was no worries, no need to do meditation, and there was no Ed in sight. Ah, it was heaven this slumber was.
She then felt like she woke up. She saw that she was laying on a couch. Looking around, she realized she wasn't in the Tower anymore. It looked like something from Oliver Twist or whatnot. There was a chimney with a fire going in the fireplace; the flame illuminated the room with a reddish glow. Sitting up, she swung her legs over the couch and looked around for anyone familiar. She then noticed a chair with someone sitting in it reading a book. Getting up, she walked over and stood beside them.
"Hello?"
The person in the chair turned their head and faced Raven. She nearly toppled
over. It was Double D. He was wearing the same old hat, but he had on a maroon
bathroom and a pair of striped pants that matched. He was reading a thick book
entitled 'The Joys of Living the Life of Riley'. He looked at her peacefully.
"Ah, I see you have awoken my beloved."
She stared. "Your beloved?"
Double D stood up and dropped the book onto the cushion of the chair he was
sitting in earlier. "Yes, my beloved. Do you not remember? We are married. We
have been, for several months now. We are wealthy and no longer live in the United
States. We live in Europe
my darling."
Raven backed away. 'Okay, this is just getting too weird. How long was I
asleep?'
"Um, 'honey'," she emphasized the last word, "how long was I
asleep?"
"For several hours my dear."
Raven looked around. 'This is a nice dream, but…I'm missing something here…where's
my…AH! I'm not in my uniform!' She realized that she was wearing a long sleeved
sky blue dress with frills on the shoulders. It looked exactly like something
that would come out of a "Little Women" movie, or even something that was worn
back in the 1800's. She began to freak. Taking a blanket off the coach, she
covered herself. "Where are my clothes!?"
Double D smiled. "They are up in your room my dear,
you do not like your dress anymore? You told me that it was your favorite."
Raven looked around feeling her heart begin to race. She had to get out of here
and fast…cause this was just plain freaking her out.
And besides, she hated to wear dresses with the little frills.
"I wanna get out of here."
Double D gasped. "Honey! What is wrong with you? Are
you mad at me or something? Was it something that the kids did?"
Raven froze in her tracks. "Kids?"
Double D nodded. "Remember? We went to the orphanage and adopted several
cuties. Oh kids!"
Just then, the sound of stampeding elephants was heard. Raven ran behind Double
D and waited for the noise to stop. It came closer and closer and it soon
sounded like it was coming from right behind the door. It swung open and
several really short and really scary people ran through into the room towards
them.
Raven wanted to die. Her 'kids' were chibi versions
of Eddy, Ed, Sarah, Beast Boy and Starfire. They began to dance around and
chant. "Mommy has awoken! Mommy has awoken!"
Raven tried to fly out of their reach but found she couldn't use her powers. So
she jumped on top of Double D's shoulders and screeched. "Get them away! Get
them away!"
Double D toppled all over the place. He struggled to regain his balance. "Dear!
Please! What will the neighbors think!?"
Raven jumped up and caught the chandelier. "I don't care what they think! For
all I care, they can think I'm a monkey!"
The chibi Beast Boy changed into a bat and flew up
beside Raven. He then changed back to his normal form and made faces at her and
laughed when she screeched. "Hehehe!
Mommy silly!"
Raven swung her legs as if she were trying to run away from him in the air. "Get
away! Get away!"
Double D glared angrily at her. "Honey! If you don't
stop what you're doing I will get your mother to come down here and straighten
you out!"
Raven nearly fell from the chandelier. "My mother!??"
Double D took out a whistle and blew into it. There was no sound. Raven looked
at it and nearly had a heart attack when the sound of roaring and banging was
heard coming from the same hallway as the 'kids' had came through.
The door flew open and a huge muscular version of Lee Kanker appeared. "WHAT IS GOING ON!???"
Raven eeped and clung on to dear life. Lee Kanker
turned and looked up t and saw Raven.
"Ah, let me guess, Raven is being a bad girl again?"
The kids nodded. The 'mother' reached up and grabbed Raven's feet. "Come on
Raven! Come down to see mommy." She tugged and pulled. Raven struggled to get
her to release her.
"Let me go! You're not my mom! You're not my kids! You're not my husband! None
of this is real!"

Double D looked over from reading a 'Science World' magazine when he heard Raven begin to moan and toss and turn. He quickly got up and shook her slightly. She stopped and began to smile. He looked back and forth and shrugged.
"Must've been having a nightmare." He walked back to the chair and began to read the magazine once again.
