Geez, I try to get out, they keep pulling me back in! What about me! What about my lack of sleep, and need for a job, and the fact that I have no time to spend with my neglected boyfriend?
If I write an epilogue, will you please leave me alone? Please? Okay, good.
So you begged for a fluffy epilogue, and you got it, because it is right here. Well, it's not here at this very second that I am writing this author's note, but it will be when I post it. I just thought that the ending had wrapped it up so well, that I didn't want to ruin it with an epilogue.
If you guys will leave me alone, (Please review, I didn't mean that, just, no more begging for an epilogue) then you get your final, I said FINAL update. I'll try to make it as fluffy as possible, but it won't be very long, mind you.
I actually made a few people cry? You really cried, like in a good movie or story? Wahoo! I'm up to Lion King status! That movie did make me cry, not the second one, but the first one. Of course, so did Terminator 2, maybe I'm just weird.
And yes, Beast Boy and Raven did make-out in the hall, just like in BB's fantasy.
I think that just about covers it, so, read the epilogue now.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Raven was sleeping soundly in her room. She had been so happy that everyone still acted normally around her, still said hello to her, and didn't ask her if she was okay. Because she was even better than okay, she was perfect.
Without Trigon's presence within her mind, she no longer had nightmares. She never had to meditate, or worry when she watched a scary movie. So tonight, she slept happily under her warm covers, knowing that she would redecorate her room tomorrow.
It had made her laugh, when he had said it. 'You, I'm lookin' at you',
He had seemed so proud and sure, and then they went into the hall, and it was her turn to be proud and sure. Everything in the hall had remained in one piece, her emotions no longer being an issue, while Beast Boy worked his magic. That boy could convince her to do anything. Well, almost anything. He wasn't that perverted.
And when they were through in the hall, he had asked her. It had made her laugh out loud, what he had said. The whole conversation had been so happy. Happier than she had ever felt in a long time.
"So," Beast Boy said, pulling his face away from hers, "Let's do something about that room of yours."
"What's wrong with my room?" Raven asked, putting her arms around his waist.
"It's so gloomy, I'm creeped out whenever I go near it." he answered, nuzzling into her neck. "Ever considered redecorating?"
"If you'll help, I'll be happy to change it." She said, pulling away and heading down the hall. "We'll start in the morning, so get some sleep because you're gonna have your work cut out for you."
"You got it, babe." He said, looking dreamily at her as she rounded the corner. Tomorrow would be a milestone.
"Did you just call me babe?" She asked skeptically, turning around.
"What, is it against the law or something?"
"No, but it should be. That is so 80's, I swear."
"Well, I'm sorry I'm not cool enough for you."
"Don't worry, we'll work on it."
"You got it b-.... Raven."
"Much better."

Beast Boy was another story entirely. No matter how hard he tried, sleep eluded him that night. He didn't want to sleep, he wasn't even tired, he just wanted to spend more time with Raven. He had gone an entire year without seeing her, why couldn't he have all that he wanted of her now?
'Because she's sleeping, you idiot.' He told himself.
"Maybe she's just as anxious as me, and she can't sleep either, and she wants to start on her room now." He told his ceiling.
'Gee, maybe you should walk in and ask.' He thought sarcastically.
"Fuck you, I'm gonna go see if she's asleep." He said aloud, hopping off of his bed.
Beast Boy turned into a silent cat and bounded into the hall, walking in the direction of Raven's room.
'She's gonna kill you if she's asleep.' He thought.
"I know," he said as he walked in the shadowed hallway, "I just hope I'm not schizophrenic."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Raven's deep sleep was interrupted by a familiar voice, Beast Boy's voice, outside her door. But he was saying something very strange, something so strange that she thought she had to be dreaming.
"I just hope I'm not schizophrenic."
She fell back asleep seconds later, only to woken again by the swish of her door opening, and she didn't have to look to see who it was. Beast Boy was padding in as a cat, silent and graceful.
"What are you doing here, Beast Boy?" She asked groggily.
"Good, you're awake!" He said, resuming human form.
"It's hard to sleep with someone questioning their sanity outside my door." She answered, sitting up.
"Heh, heh," he said, scratching his head, "Sorry 'bout that."
"Why are you awake?" She asked, flipping the light switch beside her bed.
"I just, I kinda wanted to see you. I hadn't seen you for a year, and I couldn't sleep, so my next choice was to spend some with you." He said, sitting down beside her on the bed.
"You're such a pervert."
"Not like that!"
"You won't let me get back to sleep, will you."
"Nope."
"So, where do we start?"
"The curtains have to go."
"Alright, I'll pull them down."
"Raven?"
"Yes?"
"It's good to have you back."
"It's good to be back."
"Let's make the curtains green!"
"I'd rather not."
THE END
(Officially)
I had to end that on something random.
That's it, no more, leave me alone!
