Session 3: I remember. . .
Beast Boy looked down at Raven and then down to himself. Beast Boy laughed
nervously as he shyly tried to cover his body, he was in his underwear. He
tried concealing his shy spots with his hands. Many thought's raced through
his head, such as "I knew boxer shorts we're a good idea today...unless
it's the blue one's with the..." Beast Boy looked down and gasped
awkwardly "Dude, no!! It is the one with the monkey's!" he
shouted to himself.
Raven looked away, "Beast Boy....?"
Beast Boy laughed nervously, "Hey, Raven...." he paused, rubbing the
back of his head.. "So....um...how'd you girls enjoy your shopping
spree?" he said to try and lighten this situation.
Raven, covered her eyes, "I-It was g-good." she said as she
fumbled for the door. " I see you've been playing paint ball."
Beast Boy continued to nervously laugh, " Yeah, it was fun. Y'know
besides the part with the y'know, whole getting hit with hard paint part."
he said as he pointed to one of his bruises.
"Must've hurt." she said as she peaked through the crack of her
fingers. " But you still look good."
"Yeah...,wait, what?"
Raven, stammered on her choice of words " I meant those bruises don't look
good! They're not that bad, so they'll heal quick." Raven recovered
quickly as she reached for the door knob and tried to stand up, her knees were
weak. "I'm just going to leave you alone now."
Beast Boy smiled embarrassingly as she left, "Yeah, thanks." he waved
to her. "Funny how it seem's this happened before, huh?"
"Y-Yeah, right" she replied as she slipped out the door. Once out the
door, the two let out breaths of relief that the other was gone.
Raven slid the door closed, leaning back on it. Raven placed a hand over
her chest, trying to calm down her beating heart back to it's normal
pace. She took in a deep breath, trying to culminate together what had just
happen "Okay... I just saw a Beast Boy... without clothes..." Raven
furrowed her brow, "Why didn't anyone tell me he was taking a sho-"
"Hey, Raven!" Cyborg called down the hall, "BB's in the team
bathroom! He's taking a shower!"
Raven rubbed her forehead where a large anime vein pulsed. Why couldn't Cyborg
say that earlier? Raven quirked a brow when her hand grazed her cheek as
she brought it down. She touched her cheek again, slowly. It was hot which
meant she was embarrassed which meant...she was blushing...
Raven shook her head, "No, I can't..., he's.." she stopped herself as
she picked up her shopping bags, "It wouldn't be right...if he's
with..." She stopped again. Her voice was soft, "Terra."
she finished as she continued to walk down the hall to her room. A bit of
somber derived in her stride and steps as she walked to her room
Raven slid open her door and walked in. Removing the top of her hood as
she set her bags to the side of her bed. She sat down on her springy mattress
bed; starting to space out at her wall. Staring at it, "It's
happening again..." she whispered.
Raven reached for one of her pillows and lifted it to pull something out from
underneath. She groped around and held it in her hands. Staring at it as she
rubbed the sides. "I'm starting to have this feeling again."
The cool smooth exterior was pleasant to the touch and it was somewhat calming
in a sense. Raven stared at it with half lid eyes and lightly smiled. The smile
lessened as she continued to stare at it.
She turned the object over and read the scratch marked words on the back,
"Fr. BB, To: Rave....I'm Sry....."
What Raven held was a picture frame. The picture frame, Beast Boy
had made for her not so long ago. It was made from pure bamboo Beast Boy said
he kept in his room every time he got hungry. Beast Boy made the frame for her
when she and Beast Boy got in a little fight a while back. Everything
went wild when it happened. There were books, pillows, lamps, almost everything
in the room swirled around them like a tornado. Raven was there, her hands
around Beast Boy's neck, cutting him off of oxygen...
Raven shook her head, she didn't want to reminisce about that day but she still
remembered it clearly
"After that, I left for a while to think....and when I came back he was
there waiting for me. He was hiding a purple package behind his back."
Raven smiled lightly, "We patched things up after the fight, but he didn't
think saying, sorry, was enough. He felt guilty for what he did to me,
making me mad When I opened his gift, I was surprised. It was a new
frame, my old one broke when I went hay wire on him. When he heard about
it.... he thought it would make the perfect make-up gift"
Raven sighed as she looked at the frame. A sudden knock then rapped against her
door. Raven gasped and quickly tucked the frame back under her pillow.
"Who is it?" she called out to the person.
The person was quiet for a while until he cleared his throat, "Hey, Raven.
It's just me."
"Beast Boy? What is it?" she asked as she slid open a slight crack in
her door, "Your clothes are on this time, right?"
Beast Boy chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah, I'm pretty
sure." Beast Boy tapped his foot on the ground and looked up to her. He
smiled nervously, "So, I..um...you..um..did you see anything?"
Raven stared at him, "You mean you? No, nothing"
Beast Boy let out a breath of relief, "Good, cause-" I
"Nothing if you don't mean those monkey theme boxers. Then that's pretty
hard to miss. Maybe, you should of thought about locking the door?"
Beast Boy anime sweat dropped, "I thought I did." he smiled,
"Um...you won't mention anything about this, right?"
"Trust me, Beast Boy. It's to embarrassing to even bring up."
Beast Boy stared at Raven and chuckled, "Guess now I have nothing to worry
about, huh?" Beast Boy smiled, "So, you wanna come down to the living
room and y'know, hang out?"
Raven shook her head, "Thanks for the offer, but-"
Beast Boy smiled as he quirked a brow , "Come on, we like, never hang out
anymore, y'know?" Offering a welcome hand gesture escort to the
living room.
"Sorry, Beast Boy. I have to be somewhere."
"Then can I-"
"Sorry. It's a personal thing."
"Oh.." he said disappointingly, "Well then I guess, go on and
have a good time." he smiled
" Thanks." she said as she shut her door closed.
"Yeah, welcome..." Beast Boy sighed as the door slid shut. Beast Boy
pouted, a bit down heartened. He and Raven never got to hang out as much and to
Beast Boy's recollection they had hung out only a few times. Of course, this is
what he thought.
As Beast Boy entered back in the living room he found that everyone was doing
what he wanted to do with Raven.
Hang out and watch T.V. It looked like Cyborg and Robin finished taking
showers. Their paint was all washed off. The trio was now back in clean
clothes.
Terra looked behind her shoulder and smiled to Beast Boy, "Hey, BB. Wanna
hop a seat and watch?"
Beast Boy smiled slightly, "Sure." he replied as he took a seat next
to Terra.
Terra looked at Beast Boy, "Hey, something wrong?"
"Huh? Oh..., it's nothing. I just wanted Rav-"
Raven quietly glided into the living room, passing by the others, "I'm
going out."
Robin turned his head, "Where to? Somewhere we can find you, right? Cause
if there's a crime we might need you."
"I'm just going to meet a friend." she replied as she exited out the
living room into the elevator to downstairs, "I'll probably won't be long.
I'll only be at my cafe."
Terra waved her hand, "Hey, Raven. Can I come along?"
"I don't-"
"C'mon, I've never been to your hang before." she smiled as she got
up from the couch. She turned her head to Beast Boy, "Hey, we'll meet up
with you guys later." she said as she abruptly got into the elevator.
Raven held her mouth out to speak, "But..."
"C'mon, puh-leaseeee?" she asked with big anime chibi eyes.
"But...I"
Terra continued to stare, somehow making her eyes increasingly more chibi.
Raven tried to look away, she let out a sigh as she look back. She held up her
hands, "Okay already, fine." Raven, slumped her shoulders, "Just
please, can you stop it?" she said as she pushed the elevator button to
the bottom floor.
Terra smiled widely as she held up a V peace sign to the team as the elevator
doors sealed shut.
"Have fun, girls." Cyborg waved to them. Cyborg then looked to
Starfire, "Hey, your not going?"
Starfire shook her head, "Raven and Terra need time to be more
accustomed to one another. They may require more time hanging out.
Surely, sharing afternoon activities together will from better bonds. Take me
for example, I and Terra have become already the best of friends."
Cyborg nodded, "Then what about you, BB?" he asked to him, "You
could've went with your girl."
Beast Boy shook his head, "Naw, they'll be fine. Star's, right. Let em
hang."
Cyborg shrugged his shoulders as he went back flipping through stations. Cyborg
raised a brow, "Man, over three hundred channels and there's still nothing
good to watch."
The team agreed with him on that with heavy sighs as they all nodded their
heads in unison.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Raven and Terra walked down the stairs. Swinging open the doors of the café.
Terra followed suit behind her as they walked in. As the door behind them swung
shut, a little bell rang above the door. Heads turned to toward the door and
then went back too as before Terra and Raven walked in.
Terra looked around the cafe, all sort's of teens sat around the tables and
stools. The room was lit in tint of dark blue with candles lit around
each table. Terra looked to a long bar by the side with many seats,
each seat already occupied. Terra looked on and saw a stage where a stool and
microphone stand harbored a teenager under a spotlight, reciting a poem.
A group of musicians, of three were by the side playing soft tunes on their
instruments. The atmosphere of the room was quiet and cool. Beating off bongos
and chattering of the teens filled the room. There were punks, goth, skaters,
preps, it was a rather comfortable place. Everybody seemed to go here. You
could've found at least one person you could relate to in the cafe. Terra
looked up and observed at a sparking blue neon sign over the bar table. The
words' "Blue Moon Caf" flashed on and off above it.
Terra smiled as the rhythm of jazz filled her ears, "Nice hang." she
said as she looked around. "Blue Moon Café, huh?." she smiled as she
looked around so more, tropical plants around each of the corners of the room.
Raven nodded, "I know." she said as she took a seat. Raven looked
from the corner of her eye and a elderly man playing the saxophone with a white
salt and peppered beard, smiled back to her. He stopped playing for a second in
order to wave to her.
Raven waved back, smiling lightly, "Hey, C.P." she whispered back.
The tall man in the group nudged the man with the salt and pepper beard,
"Hey, C.P. we'll lose rhythm. Play, man, play."
Cold Poppa nodded back, "Hold up, Trevor. It's Raven." he replied as
he held a finger out to her. Trevor looked into the crowd and waved. His
lips mouthing to say "Hey."
The man on the electric piano looked behind his shoulder, a bit concerned why
the bongos and sax stopped. "Yo, get with it!" he whispered. He
looked into the crowd and nodded to Raven, "C'mon now, let's get
back to playing."
Cold Poppa and Big Trevor nodded as they continued to play.
Terra took a seat next to her, "So...you know those guys?"
Raven tuned to Terra, " Their the band, here. The guy in the white suit
is, Cold Poppa, he plays the saxophone The tall one in the blue is Big Trevor,
he plays bongos and the guy on the electric piano dressed in green is Louie.
Those guy's have been here as long as I could remember." she said as she
watched the three African American musicians play. Raven then quirked a brow as
she saw something glint on Cold Poppa's wrist. It looked like a watch, but a
weird looking one. Raven, shook her head and thought nothing of it as some
weird fashion statement.
Terra smiled, "They're good."
"I know."
"So what do we do now?" Terra asked as she picked up a menu of café
drinks.
Raven coughed as she raised a finger to a waiter who passed by. The waiter saw
her and walked over smiling. His hair dyed blue, his shirt white and his baggy
pants black, he pulled out a notepad and pencil, "Raven, good to see you
again. Haven't seen you around for some time."
"Dyed your hair blue when I was gone, huh?" Raven asked.
The teen shrugged his shoulders and grinned goofily. "You've missed out on
a lot of stuff since you've been gone. So, what'll you be having?"
he asked. He then noticed Terra and he turned to back to Raven "Hey, whose
the new girl?"
Terra smiled, "Name's, Terra. Bout you?"
"Name's Johnny, John for short. So what'll you be having?" he asked
again.
After some discussion Terra and Raven both ordered a pair of French vanilla
cappuccino's. The waiter came back moments later with their order and handed
the drinks to them. Raven thanked and paid him with a ten-dollar bill. It
was a little to much for two cups he protested, but Raven insisted him to
take it. John smiled as he thanked her and left to take another order from a
teen across the far side of the room.
"He seemed nice." Terra said as she broke a sugar packet into her
cappuccino. Terra then held her cup up to her face and stared into the hot
brown beverage "So....this is coffee?" she asked as the steam rose
from the cup and into her nose.
Raven, blew on her cappuccino and took a sip "Mm-h, never tried?"
Terra rubbed the back of her head embarrassingly, "Nope."
Terra looked back into her cup as she swirled it, "Sooo, all you do is
hang around here, drink coffee and listen to poetry?"
Raven raised a brow and shook her head to her, "I'm waiting for
someone."
Terra looked around, "Who?"
A ring at the door chimed and it signaled that someone else had come into the
room. The person pushed through the swinging café doors. The person looked
around. A smile stretching over her face when she saw Raven at the table, she
called out to her, "Raven!", Excitement in their voice as they ran to
her.
Raven smiled lightly as she placed her cup back down. The soft embrace of tiny
arms wrapped around her neck.
"Raven!" the little girl giggled, "Where have you been?"
she asked as she released her grip and smiled to her.
Raven rubbed the girls head, "Long time no see, Ally."
A taller figure, a guitar slung over their shoulder, followed behind the little
girl. The guitar slinger walked over to the table. A pink bandana tied around
her hazel brown hair, falling down to her shoulders in the pink shirt that
stopped at her mid drift. She pushed up the rim of her glasses as she stuck her
left hand in her blue denim pants. She smiled widely, "Dude, Raven! How
long has it been?" She laughed as she sat down, placing her guitar
on the ground.
The little girl sat next to the girl with the guitar and hopped a seat, smiling
as she swung her legs beneath the chair.
"Hey, Melissa. I guess it's been too long, huh?" Raven then turned to
Terra who looked a little confused in who the little girl and the girl with the
guitar were. Raven quirked a brow when she finally realized Terra never met
Melissa and Ally. Raven tapped Terra's shoulder, "Terra, this is my
friend, Melissa and-"
"Little sister Ally." Melissa giggled as she hugged Ally around the
shoulders.
"Melissa; Ally, this is-"
"Terra!" they both giggled in exclamation. "You're that new girl
who can move rocks and rocks! Cool to finally meet you." Melissa said as
she held out to shake her hand. Terra smiled back as she accepted the
handshake, "Nice to meet you too."
Ally smiled by the side and then she looked to Raven as Terra and Melissa
stopped shaking hands, "So, Raven. Where have you been? It's been sooooo
long since we last saw you, don't y'know?"
Melissa nodded her head in agreement as she leaned over on the table,
"Yeah, we haven't seen you for like three weeks." Melissa raised her
hand to John for a cappuccino for her and Ally. John came back in several
seconds with their cups and handed to them. Melissa passed the cup to
Ally, "So, what happened?"
Raven shrugged her shoulders "Just been busy, I guess?" she replied.
"Oh..."
"Well... anyway, maybe you can fill me in and tell me when C.P got the new
watch?." she said as she pointed to Cold Poppa playing his
saxophone. The watch hanging loosely on his wrist. "Haven't seen one like
that before."
Melissa turned her head and looked to Cold Poppa. A brief sigh of sadness in
her tone, "Oh...yeah..you weren't here when it happened..,were you."
Ally twiddled with her fingers by the side "He...um..." Ally pouted.
She stared at the ground, biting her upper lip.
Raven stared at the both of them, "What's wrong...?"
"Yeah, you guy's are all quiet, and everything." Terra pointed out
obviously.
Melissa chuckled dryly, "It's kind of a long story,... but it happened,
like, a week ago."
Raven, drew in a collected breath as she leaned over on the table, "I'm
listening."
Melissa coughed to clear her throat. She moistened her lip, "Well, it all
started when-"
Hmm...what exactly is up with the watch? What did Raven miss out while she
was gone? To find this out and more. Please read my next chapter when I update
it. ^^
Well, technically, Fireruby is updating for me. ^^
Hey, she's the author of "Boundless Love." if ya don't know. ^^ Hey
when you're done reading this, how about going over to her fic and check it
out. Ooo, one of my most favorites. ^^ Real nice writing.
Well, what else was I going to say? Oh, yeah. If you don't know the three band
members. (For those newcomers) Then don't worry. I didn't write much about them
in my first volume. ^^:; but if you want to find out. Read, "Knockin on
Raven's Door" chapter 3, I believe. There isn't much really. ^^;;
Well, besides that I finally remembered what I was going to ask.
Who here like's it that they're putting TT on "Miguzi?" and Toonami
on Saturdays? Is this a good change? Yes or no?
On Saturdays you can stay up to watch it at 9 and then again on Sunday at
10.but now that it is on a weekday...will you younger viewers be able to watch
it?
Pum-pum-pum.
Is this a good decision or not? Please tell me when you read and review. ^^
thanks a lot. And if you seen Miguzi, what do you think about the shows
on it?
(Read; review)
This is A.N.D, signing out.
