Are you ready for the plot? Are you ready for an actual story? Then you've come to the right chapter my friend!
I don't quite know what will be in this chapter, since I haven't wrote it yet, so I can't really tell you much about it.
I went in my room to brainstorm, and then accidentally fell asleep for two hours! So don't expect this chapter to be a novel.
Here's the deal guys, I have a basic block of class from seven AM to five PM, with maybe a twenty minute break to get some lunch, I get home at about five thirty and write the fic, I eat my poor excuse for a dinner at seven thirty (I can't cook), and finish my chapter and all of my school stuff by eleven PM, then I roll around in bed until about one AM, and wake up at six the next morning.
Don't review if the only thing you have to say is "Update! Update now! I command you!" You should feel lucky that I update at all! My schedule is hectic enough without all of you fags badgering me! (No offense to non-faggish reviewers)
I could understand if I didn't update for, like, a week for you to ask me that, but considering the fact that you probably wait around sixteen hours for me to update, it makes me feel like that's the only thing you have to say in your reviews.
Okay, I think that's all that I wanted to say. So, keep that in mind when you review, and, speaking of which, I already have about thirty reviews for this story! Man, I didn't think you guys liked me that much! But a big thank you to all of my reviewers, because this fic has really helped me improve my writing skills! (Just one of the several classes that I'm failing, just because I'm a lazy-ass delinquent)
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, so leave me alone! (Runs away and huddles in corner)

Beast Boy sat on the roof, looking over at the city before him. He never really appreciated how beautiful the city was at night, and it made him feel proud to protect it. He, and his friends, were the ones that kept that city there, and that's what makes some people feel important, to know that they keep something beautiful, they are the reason people can look at the city and say "Damn, that's a nice city!" and that made him feel important, just knowing it.
He no longer pitied himself over Raven's absence, he knew that she would be back, and hated acting selfish and stupid because she wasn't there. He remembered how he had felt when Terra had left, and mentally slapped himself for being such a selfish bastard.
'You just sat there, like a retarded rock,' he told himself, 'for someone who had just tried to kill your best friends.'
"Just think of it like she's on vacation," he said to the night sky, "Only she doesn't want to go, and she never packed, and she forgot her cell-phone so you can't call her."
'Yeah, she'll be back before you know it.'
A sudden thought entered Beast Boy's head, 'She forgot to pack,' he thought, 'so that means that she left her mirror! And that almost makes her mind like a cell-phone!'
Beast Boy shot up from his sitting position and ran into the tower, anxious to see if it would work. But, he knew that if he was going in Raven's mirror, he would need back-up.
'Cyborg?' he thought, trying to decide who to ask, 'No, that mirror world freaks him out. Robin? No, he probably wouldn't even let me in the mirror. Star?'
"Yeah, Starfire would help!" he said aloud, running to Starfire's room.
Beast Boy knocked on Starfire's door, eager to put his idea to the test. He heard some shuffling and then the door opened with a 'whoosh' into the wall.
"Beast Boy," she asked, yawning, "Do you not realize that it is now the time of sleeping?"
"I know, Star, but I need your help with something really important," He begged, "Please!"
"What is it?" She asked, wide awake, "Is something wrong?"
"Well," He started, trying to find the right words, "Y'know that mirror world me and Cy told you about? Well, Raven, sorta, left her mirror here, and maybe we could use it to communicate with her. And I was wondering if you wanted to help."
"Oh," She put her hand to her forehead, in deep thought, "Well, I guess if you think that it would be for the best, I would love to accompany you. I must admit, I have always been a little curious about the world in Raven's mirror."
"Then c'mon," He yelled excitedly, pulling Star by the arm, "Let's go!"

The two Titans stood outside of Raven's door, anxious to step inside.
"Well," Beast Boy nudged, "Go in."
"This idea was yours," Starfire answered, pushing in front of the door, "So I shall follow you."
Beast Boy sighed, he was afraid Raven might have put traps or something in her room, and the room itself scared him to a lesser degree. He opened the door carefully and gingerly stepped inside, amazed at how clean she kept it.
"Okay, the mirror was on her vanity," He explained, "But it isn't there anymore, so look for it around there."
"I still do not feel right about sneaking into Raven's room without her permission," Starfire said wearily, "She does not normally let people in her room, and I fear she will be angry with us if she finds out"
"C'mon," He groaned, "You've hung out in here before, you and Raven are real tight."
"Tight?"
"You are really good friends," He explained with a sigh, "and you hang out a lot."
"Yes," she explained, "But somehow, this room seems more menacing when you enter it without Raven's permission, like it does now."
"Just look for the mirror," he said, peering under the bed, "and don't worry about it."
"Is this what you call a 'mirror'?" Starfire asked, holding up a strange, unfamiliar object.
"I'm not quite sure what that is," Beast Boy answered, scratching his head, "But it's not a mirror, so keep looking."
They searched for a few more minutes in silence, working their way around the room, and finally, someone actually found something.
"Oh," Starfire gasped, "Here it is, look, it was on the vanity the entire time!"
Beast Boy sighed and walked over to where Starfire stood by the dresser, he braced himself for the black hand that would grab him as he walked closer. But by the time he reached Starfire's side, nothing had happened.
"How do you activate this reflective device?" She asked, looking the mirror over.
"Hey," Beast Boy said, "What's that writing on the back?"
Starfire turned the mirror on the back and found several strange symbols engraved into the cool metal. They were not any language that she could think of, and wondered what they might mean.
"Maybe that's the language from her planet." Beast Boy suggested, "Not quite sure what else they could be."
"Perhaps we could write them down and research them, as they may have some significance to the mirror." Starfire offered, picking up a pencil and paper from Raven's desk. She put the paper down on the back of the mirror and began rubbing the pencil across it, capturing the symbols perfectly.
Beast Boy sat on the edge of Raven's bed while Starfire copied the engravement on the mirror. He was anxious to leave Raven's room, and couldn't understand how she could possibly live in a place like this.
He heard Starfire laugh from the other side of the room.
"This mirror is broken," she giggled, "It reflects the images backwards, that is most humorous!"
"No, Star," he sighed, "It's supposed to be like that."
"But look," she said as she put the paper in front of the mirror, "This language greatly resembles English when it is reflected in this mirror."
"That is English!" Beast Boy cried, "Way to go Star!"
"Hmm," Beast Boy hummed as he read the decoded message, "You have entered my room, and will now be punished. That can't be good."
Suddenly the familiar clawed hand reached out from the mirror and grabbed the Titans, pulling them into the red vortex that led to Raven's mind. And Beast Boy could only pray that it would work.

Well, the next chapter will be in the mirror, so that'll be fun!
Mirror stories are always fun! Well, remember what I told you about reviewing, and go do it!
