mespeaking: wow, it only takes ONE review to brighten my whole day. I don't have writers block anymore, in FACT, I actually know what's going to happen next chapter, I know where Beast Boy is! I know! Hahahaha! Maybe I got inspired by Linking Park's Meteora. I got it for my birthday, which was the fourth. I am a whole 15 years old now. -.-;;

disclaimer: this is FAN fiction. If I really owned the show, why aren't Raven and Beast Boy together?

Pizza Butts and Falling Birds

The team ended up taking the pizza back to the tower. Well, they really didn't have a choice – angry customers had kicked them out of the restaurant. Cyborg and Beast Boy had had such a heated argument about what kind of pizza to get, they had somehow managed to destroy most of the pizza place. Because they were superheroes though, they still got their pizza. Half supreme, half meat lovers. Robin, Starfire, and Raven had long before given up hopes on even thinking about what toppings they wanted.

Back at the Tower, the Titans kick-backed as they ate their pizza. Cyborg turned on their giant TV and started watching a tech channel. Robin soon grabbed the remote from his hands and attempted to change the channel.

"Hey! I was watching that!" Cyborg protested through a mouthful of pepperoni.

"You're getting meat on me!" Beast Boy said, jumping up and somehow landing in Raven's lap. Accidental or on purpose, it was hard to tell.

"Get. Off," Raven said monotoned. Before he had the chance though, Raven's powers erupted slightly, and sent him flying in the air… only to land butt-first on… the pizza.

This distracted Cyborg from trying to get the remote back from Robin. Cyborg then proceeded to chase Beast Boy around the room in circles. Starfire took notice of this and began flying after them trying to stop the argument.

"You little green bean! You sat on my side of the pizza on purpose!"

"Did not! It was an accident!" Although at this time, Beast Boy took the notion to stick his tongue out at Cyborg.

"Friends! You must make amends now!" Starfire continued chasing the two.

Robin took the opportunity to change the channel. He turned to a spin off of the Discovery channel. Its feature topic was space, more specifically, the equinox coming up. He rested the remote on his lap and looked at Raven who was fiddling with her hood, which she had now pulled up. Robin tried to make light conversation.

"Fascinating, isn't it? The equinox I mean? I guess it does things to some people."

At that point Raven knew, the Robin knew what was happening to her.

"Am I supposed to tell you something?"

"How much longer, Raven? Until… you know."

"Not long, Robin. Less than a week."

"What's going to happen in the meantime?"

"Not sure. It's always something different."

"Last year?"

"Only lasted a day. I feel something this time. It will be worse."

Cyborg had finally given up on Beast Boy, and the 3 were heading back towards the table to finish the slices they had on their plates. Beast Boy stole a glance at Raven to find she was looking at him. She looked away quickly, and though Beast Boy didn't see it, she blushed slightly. He did notice the cheese on his pizza bubble slightly.

Raven got up promptly and left the room. No one said anything until Beast Boy got up a few minutes afterwards.

"Where you going?" Robin asked.

"My room, to, uh… change my clothes."

Cyborg grumbled under his breath about pizza and spandex.

Beast Boy noticed how quiet the hallway was and made a note that silence could be loud. He was outside of Raven's room. He wanted to talk to her about something that was bothering him. He must have been standing outside her room for an hour or so before he decided he was going to knock.

"C'mon, you can do it! Knock already!" Beast Boy egged himself on.

He heard noises coming from Raven's room. The bed was thumping up and down as if it were being jumped on. He heard Raven's voice speaking in a quiet, but frantic, whisper.

"No, no… stop. Please… don't… hurt…"

Raven cut herself off by screaming and without even thinking about it, Beast Boy flung open the door and rushed into her room to aid the… sleeping Raven. She was having another nightmare. He breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought…well… it had sounded like something else had been happening. The door slid shut and made a banging noise.

Raven started shaking violently in her bed, and whimpering. What little light was in the room was dimmed, as a lamp's base melted, causing the top to be pointed at the floor. He wrapped his arms around the sleeping Raven and brought her into his lap. He stroked the hair on top of her head trying to comfort the sleeping girl. For a while, it seemed to work, a smile nestled itself on her face.

He knew he should leave, but he liked being in the room with Raven. No matter how creepy the room-and Raven-were to him. His feelings for Raven had grown into a little more then like lately, no matter how much he denied it to himself, he liked Raven. He had already questioned everything about his emotions to himself. There was no doubt that he had liked Terra a lot more, but even so, something about Raven intrigued him. Especially after reading her diary-thingy.

He started to get up, but as soon as he did, Raven started shaking again. This time, he grabbed her shoulders and started shaking her in an attempt to wake her up. Her head rocked back and forth on her shoulders, succeeding to wake her up, sort of. Her head hung limp on her shoulders, but then snapped up revealing frightened eyes to Beast Boy. She put her hand on Beast Boy's shoulder.

Beast Boy all of a sudden felt his body being stretched out as darkness surrounded him. His body shrunk back to normal ad he fell out into what seemed as if the middle of a dark barren future earth. He looked around at the dark area, but didn't see anything of interest until he noticed a figure falling in the dark sky.

It was an unconscious Raven.
