Chapter 4
Beast Boy walked into the living room where the other titans were talking like crazy at over 100 mph. When BB came in they all greeted him, and then Robin asked, "So what did you find out? She didn't read your mind and find out did she?" "No, I don't think she did." "Good, otherwise it would've ruined all this time we put into the party!" Cyborg pointed out. Yes, the titans were planning a surprise party for Persia that was in just a few days! This saturday would mark exactly a month that Persia stayed with the titans, and they all thought it was kinda cool that she stayed around for that long. Plus they knew Persia was a little down, so they wanted to cheer her up. "So tell us Beast Boy, what is going on with our friend?!" Starfire asked BB eagerly. "I dunno, she was going through a suitcase of hers and looking at a photo of her best friend." Everybody looked at Beast Boy for a minute right after he finished her sentence. Then Starfire commented in sympathy "Our poor friend." "Looks like she needs this party more then ever." Robin remarked. Then Raven stood up and said, "I'll go talk to her" Then she walked out of the room. Everyone just shrugged, then went back to planning for the surprise party.
It didn't take long for Raven to reach Persia's room. She was right outside her door and was about to knock when she heard alot of strange and weird noises. Raven swore she could've even heard a chainsaw. "Oooooook..."
Raven finally knocked on Persia's door. The noises stopped, and Persia opened the door a little saying "BB?" "Do I look like Beast Boy?" Persia suddenly blushed cherry red, stammered a little before saying, "Oh Raven, hey! Sorry, I just thought BB would come back, guess not. I would invite you in, but as you can see, a tornado has struck here." Persia opened the door more to let Raven see for herself. Raven's eyes widened and all she could say was, "Whoa." "Heh, yea." Persia's floor was covered with nothing but all her stuff, mementos, etc. It DID look like a tornado had struck. Raven tried walking her way across her room, but gave up and levitated. She teased Persia grinning "So, you were expecting Beast Boy huh?" "What, he was the last to come in, and, well...." "I know you like him." Persia turned around to face Raven, putting on a serious face. "Look Rae, there is a fine line between liking your teammate and LIKING your teammate!" Persia then looked down at her choker, which was beeping a deep cherry red. She blushed as red as the choker as Raven was smiling at her, almost covering her mouth to keep from laughing. "Well, even if I did like him, I couldn't be hooked with him. If any of our enemies knew, they would put BB in danger just so I can do whatever sick little tasks they have in mind, even let me join their side..." Persia remarked as she took out one of the last of her belongings from her pack. "Just like him?" "Raven!" Persia gave Raven a playful punch in the shoulder. She walked over to her window and looked out, then she said to herself "He would be a good boyfried, better then Kaylem anyways..." "Who?" Persia jumped a little, feeling surprised and stupid for what she said. "Um, nothing. look, I need to finish cleaning so if u would excuse me..." Persia started walking toward the door, but then Raven grabbed her shoulder and said "Oh no you don't! You are hiding something, I know it. Now out with it, or do I need to read your mind?" Persia looked at Raven a little sheepishly "Ok, you caught me....sit" She motioned Raven to sit on the bed. "Ok look, back at Zaragon i had a boyfriend, but now its over between us, so he's yesterdays news." "So i'm guessing things didn't go that well?" "No, they didn't."
"Look at the sky Kaylem, isn't it beautiful?" "Not as beautiful as me!" Persia looked at Kaylem with a "What the heck?!" face and said "Yea, whatever." Persia and Kaylem were sitting on a bench together somewhere near the playground. "So baby, whats on your mind" "You of course!" Kaylem looked around. "You thinking what i'm thinking?" "Of course, I mean, I can read your mind" Kaylem chuckled, then pulled her close to him, and kissed her, turning it into a deep kiss. Persia kissed him deeply back, wrapping her arms around his neck. After a little bit of that, Kaylem started putting his hand in her shirt. Persia opened her eyes big and broke off the kiss. She pushed him off her, asking him in a ticked off tone "What are you doing?!" "What do u think i'm doing?" "Kaylem, we're at the park! The others are here, and they could've seen us!" "Exactly." Now Persia was mad. "That is it! I thought this day would never come! Actuelly, i've been waiting for this since day 1! You know Kaylem, you are always doing this to me! Thinking more about yourself then me, always taking advantage of me, never paying attention to what I want, just showing me off like a trophy to your friends, and now this!!!! I'm so sick and tired of all this! Finally i get to say these words......Kaylem, its over." "What is your freakin problem?!?!" "What is your problem?! Being so inconsiderate, and a total yurpbag!!!" Persia glared deep into his eyes, then she spit on his face. "WTF!!!" Kaylem gave her a good punch in the eye, sending her falling off the bench onto her back, holding her eye. Then Kaylem stormed off, leaving Persia crying in the dust.
"Wow. Just ended like that huh?" "Yea, it was definitly not pretty." Persia said as she covered the same eye he punched months ago. "I'm sorry Persia, for, you know." "Nah, its cool. It's all in the past and the past is the past. We should think about the future, or just look into it." They both chuckled at that. "But first I need to focus on now, and cleaning up this pile of mess! Any chance you will give me a hand?" "Sure." So Raven helped Persia work on her room, till it was back to it's neat and spotless state.
