A Black Book

            Beast Boy slowly walked closer and closer to what was on the floor. He got down on his knees and stared at it for a couple more seconds; he wanted to kiss it.

            It was his gamestation.

            He reached out a hand to pick it up, but stopped short and posed a question.

            "Why is it glowing?" he said aloud, but then asked another more important question. "Why are you not being played by me!?"

            He quickly sprung into a more comfortable question and slid the button on the side into the on position. It came to life with a familiar white glow, and a noise sounding like a bell was heard in confirmation.

            "Is that all you ever do? Play games and make stupid jokes?"

            Beast Boy had forgotten he wasn't alone and dropped the gamestation onto the floor, where it shut itself off.

            "Geez, Raven! I didn't know you were there!"

            "Whatever," she said not even turning around.

            Beast Boy then remembered the white light he had seen earlier and looked around for it, but noticed it was gone.

            "Where did that white glowy thingy go?" he landed his eyes on her. "Hey, weren't you that glowy thing?"

            "Way to go."

            Beast Boy frowned. He then realized he had been sitting on something the whole time. He removed it from underneath him and saw the it was a little black book. Raven's little black book.

            "I thought you were reading?"

            "I am."

            "Reading what?" he stood up and moved closer to in order to hand her the book. "You don't have your little-black-book of date numbers."

            Raven looked up to him to see that he had her book. She took it from his hands and looked at him. Her dream came flooding back to her, and she had to suppress a gagging feeling that had come to her attention to be in her throat.

            "It doesn't have any numbers in it."

            "Not even page numbers?"

            Raven simply said, "No," and turned back to face her corner.

            Beast Boy felt a wave of frustration flow through him before he continued to pry into her. After all, he had nothing better to do at 3 a.m. when he couldn't sleep.

            "So, whatcha doing in this corner all by yourself?"

            "Thinking," came the reply.

            "About what?"

            "Beast Boy, do you always have this much to say?"

            Ignoring the last comment, he repeated himself. "About what?"

            "About what is going to happen soon."

            "Which is?"

            "Nothing that concerns you."

            "When I'm alone, I usually think about carnivals, and movies."

            He sat down next to her. She didn't say anything. He stared at the corner with her. Raven put he hands back to lean on, and Beast Boy noticed several cuts along her fingers. He asked her about it.

            "It's coming."

            "What? What's coming?"

            "Nothing," she didn't say anymore.

He was tired of talking to what seemed like a brick wall. Beast Boy thought for a second before turning into a kitten and walking into Raven's lap. Maybe he could sleep if someone else was near him, even if that person was really creep in themselves.

            "What the hell?" she thought before pushing him off. "You're getting hair all over me. I don't care if you stay out here, but not on me."

            Beast Boy turned into a dog, and curled up next to her. Without thinking about it, he put his head on her knee, and without thinking about it, Raven did nothing about it.

            She looked up at the ceiling at a swirling darkness. It reminded her of the darkness in her dream before Beast Boy saved her. She cringed once again as she thought about them kissing.

            "He may be annoying, but I won't let that happen to him; or any of the titans for that matter."

            She breathed herself a sigh of relief, as if this took care of the matter. She turned herself around to place her back on the wall, while being careful about not disturbing Beast Boy, who was already fast asleep. She let her head relax, and fell asleep soon herself.

            But Beast Boy wasn't asleep yet. He was fully awake, aware of what she had said. He made a mental note in his brain (Beast Boy… has a brain?) to ask her in the morning, as his creepy friend was already asleep, dreaming of who knows what? He made himself comfortable again, and fell asleep.

            Beast Boy awoke with a start after dreaming he was melting. What prompted that dream, he wasn't sure. He didn't remember most of it, except it had seemed as if he was in Raven's mind again, and his skin had started to bubble.

            His brain started moving quicker, and he remembered he was going to ask Raven something. What was it? Then, he realized he was alone in the corner. Daylight was streaming into the room, but no Raven anywhere in the room. He stood up, feeling confused and tired. He noticed that his gamestation had a black book on top of it now.

            He strolled over there and picked up the book. He sat down on the coach, opened it and started to read.
