Dream SurfingBeast Boy hesitated for a few more seconds watching the falling Raven. The site of his friend falling both frightened and fascinated him. She was just about at his level now.
"Raven!" he called to her, she did not seem to hear.
He then morphed into a pterodactyl and swooped into the air going after the girl. He flew beneath her and felt the girl land almost weightlessly on his back, but not without making a noise sounding like the breath being knocked out of her.
"Beast Boy?" he heard her ask. "Where are we?" He didn't answer.
He landed gracefully on the ground and flipped Raven up in the air using his hind legs. While she was in mid-air, he shrieked, and then morphed back into his usual form, enabling him to catch Raven in his arms.
"I should be asking you that same question! One minute I'm in your room, the next I'm… here!"
He noticed Raven shaking again.
"Hey, don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of."
"I am not afraid."
"What are you then?"
It was at this time, Beast Boy realized he still had Raven in his arms. He quickly put her feet down, resisting the urge he had to hold her closer to him. Raven didn't seem to notice she was standing now.
"I am asleep."
"Huh? You look pretty awake to me."
"I'm not. I'm dreaming. You're not real."
"Come again?" Beast Boy was confused.
"You are only an image created by my mind."
"Um, no I'm not."
"Prove it."
Beast Boy didn't really know how, but couldn't resist a new urge growing inside him. Since he knew… him and Raven were just friends, and her mind would never even think about it, he decided to do it. He stepped closer to Raven, so close she could feel his breath. Raven didn't move, because, after all, Beast Boy wasn't real.
He kissed her. Or rather… was kissing her. Just like all the dreams before this one. Although, she couldn't help but wonder why there was extra dialogue between them. Beast Boy wrapped his arms around his friend, and wondered why she hadn't pulled back yet. Raven knew she should to prevent the… inevitable. But this was a dream, so what did it matter if she… went along with it?
Nothing exploded. Nothing died. Maybe she could love?
Maybe.
She waited for Beast Boy to start melting. He didn't. He was the one to pull back first.
"Now do you believe me?"
Raven wanted to believe him, but how could he get into her dream anyways? And besides, this is just what her mind wanted her to think.
"What's that thing?" Beast Boy said, pointing to an incoming green puddle.
The puddle slid over to them and turned a shade of green. It then grew into… another Beast Boy. It was at this moment realization dawned on her. Everything in her dreams always had a translucent shadow over them. The thing she had just been kissing… did not. It… was Beast Boy.
The dream Beast Boy started arguing with the real one about that was his part. He melted again and dropped onto Beast Boy's foot. He howled in pain, as the acidic blob ate away his shoe, and burned his foot. Luckily, it stopped at a slight burn. Beast Boy tripped on the ground backing away from the blob, knocking Raven with him. Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin encircled the duo on the ground. They soon melted with dream Beast Boy and started bubbling again.
Beast Boy and Raven started backing away. They found themselves at the end of the island in space. They could go no further. Beast Boy grabbed Raven's hand. A wave of embarrassment and fondness shot through Raven's body. She wanted to pull away and started to, but Beast Boy held strong.
The puddle grew, and started forming into a giant red cocoon. It looked fiery and acidic. The cocoon dried and cracked, about to reveal its true form.
Raven screamed, and Beast Boy closed his eyes. He squeezed Raven 's hand, and was surprised she squeezed it back.
He opened his eyes and saw Trigon. He also noticed Raven was watching. Trigon seemed powerless, frail even. Behind him… was almost like a mini movie. He watched as all nine planets of our solar system lined up, creating a straight line. Trigon screamed in agony as this happened and seemed to fade into nothingness for a moment. Then, the planets started glowing a blood red color. Trigon shot back up into the air and threw his arm at the planets. They exploded into a million pieces each.
Raven's eyes widened and in a whisper she said, "No…"
White light flooded Beast Boy's eyes as Trigon shot toward them.

Raven woke up with a start. Now she understood what her dream had been telling her. She started to get up when she realized she still had a sleeping Beast Boy next to her. His face was now smiling widely. Hah, maybe it really wasn't Beast Boy in her dream. She had been wrong.
She got up and rushed to her bathroom, bumping Beast Boy's left foot. He howled in pain and shot up, fully awake now. She put her hand over his mouth to quiet the whimpering BB. She looked at the top of his foot, where his shoe had been burned away and painful blisters were starting to form where the skin had peeled away.
Raven ripped off some of her cape and tied it over his foot causing Beast Boy to bite the hand still on his mouth. Raven grumbled more before she used her powers to heal it a little. Or… try to.
Her powers wouldn't work.
She looked into Beast Boy's eyes and said something to him.
"It has begun…"

Okay… I hated that chapter. Blech. I had an idea what it would be like… but this isn't quite it. Did BB's kiss seem uh, reasonable? Like, does it make sense he did kind of?
Oh well, lol.
