Chapter Ten.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye for Raven. Apparently time still flies, even if you're not having fun. Not that the three days leading to the party were bad. They were normal, boring, 'shop till you drop', '"OMG! This outfit will so catch Sunfire's eye!", "Please kill me now!", torturous kind of days. All was well and fine in the world of Raven. Except for that fact that it was now Friday. Day of the long awaited party. And she had to admit to herself, she was kind of nervous. And with good reason. Tonight. Tonight she would meet him.
Raven slouched further into her swivel chair. Her arms hung limply out over the chair's armrests. Her head leaned back against the chair's back, dark purple hair swinging softly as she slowly spun herself in circles. Her eyes focused on a small stain on the ceiling then quickly flicked over to a clock on her desk. She sighed loudly and looked back at the ceiling.
"The party starts at eight, and it's only four now!" She spoke out to an empty room.
'You're talking to yourself again.'
"No shit, sherlock."
'And you wonder why people think you're strange.' She continued to spin in circles, her eyes fluttering close as she became dizzy.
"Nothing wrong with having a little conversation with yourself." She sighed.
'I suppose. But it makes you look crazy'
"That's news." Raven rolled her eyes. "Why am I answering myself anyway?" She cocked a brow.
'Uh, cuz you're nuts?'
"So. Tonight is the night, eh? You're not going to chicken out are you?"
'Why would I? It's not like I'm meeting some guy I've been talking to online. Who I don't really know. Who likes cockrings and I think I'm falling for. Why would I, Raven, want to chicken out!'
"Good point." Raven brought the spinning chair to a halt and closed her eyes tightly, letting the wave of dizziness ease.
'It'll be fine. Your friends will be there if anything goes wrong. So chill. And speaking of friends, shouldn't Jinx and Terra be here soon?' Raven blinked her eyes open and looked at the clock.
"Yes. Now go away. You're creeping me out!"
Raven cast her gaze back to the ceiling as the front door bell rang out through the house.
"That's probably them." She listened to the faint sounds of her cousin opening the door and greeting the newcomers. The muffled rumble of a deep voice and her cousin laughing seeped down to her room. With a sigh she pushed herself out of the chair and stretched. "Or not."
With a quick glance at her computer and a slight smile, she made her way out of the basement and into the kitchen. The kitchen, however, was in total chaos. Three teen males skittered about franticly. Shouts and laughter mingled with the noise of various cabinets being open and slammed. Raven paused long enough to roll her eyes at the scene before pushing her way through the kitchen. ' When did our kitchen become a mosh pit!' After pushing bodies out of the way, she grabbed the teapot and moved over to the sink.
"Hey dark lady. You ready for tonight?" Victor called across the room as Raven filled the teapot. She glanced over her shoulder at him and gave a slight nod. "Cool. I can't wait. Shayla is gonna be there."
"Victor and Shayla sitting in a tree.." Gar started but was quickly stopped by a large black fist making contact with his thigh. "Aruuughh. It...hurts..." He gripped his cramping thigh and fell to the ground.
Victor smirked down on the green man as Robin stepped over him and tossed a few bags of chips on the table. Raven placed the full teapot on the stove and turned the burner on. From the hallway, the door bell rang out again. Raven pushed away from the counter and made her way toward the doorway.
"I'll get it."
Raven moved into the hallway and to the front door. She opened the door and was met by two squealing females. Raven blinked, turned on her heel and walked back to the kitchen. As she stepped over her still fallen and gasping cousin, the sound of the front door being shut and the two females moving closer to the kitchen could be heard. Raven ignored Robin and Victor's questioning looks and went about getting her tea made. Another loud squeal pierced through the kitchen as Jinx and Terra entered. All eyes turned to the doorway as Terra dropped her bags and rushed over to Gar. She fell to her knees and cradled a whimpering Gar to her chest. Jinx and Raven shook theirs heads. Robin and Victor smirked as Gar snuggled his head further against the blonds chest and wiggled his brows over at the other males.
Rocking the green boy slightly, Terra cooed down at him. "What happened hunny?"
Gar glared over at Victor, who glared back, before turning his gaze up to the blond and pouted. "Victor punched me!"
"What!" Terra's head shot up, her eyes narrowed onto Victor. He squirmed under her intense gaze, shuddered and looked away. Terra made a small "humph!" and returned her attention back to her boyfriend.
Jinx grinned down at the couple before walking across the room. She placed her bags in front of the basement doors and moved over to Raven's side, who had just finished making her cup of tea. Jinx leaned against the counter of the island, her back facing the others in the room, her arms crossed lightly against her chest. She turned her head and looked at Raven.
"So. We have about three and a half hours. Do we get ready now or in a little bit?"
Raven swirled the tea in her cup and shrugged. "Doesn't matter. But it looks like you and Terra brought your closets along. So we shouldn't wait too long."
Jinx sent a glance over her shoulder at Terra, who was now massaging out the cramp in Gar's thigh. Jinx raised her brow. Gar's head was laying limply to the side, a river of drool leaking from his mouth, his eyes crossed. Jinx sighed loudly with disgust and looked away, wishing for the image to be burned from her mind.
"We can start without her." Jinx said simply. Raven looked up and groaned before nodding in agreement. They both pushed away from the counter, Raven holding her cup of tea, and moved to the basement door. Jinx grabbed her bags, opened the door, and the two girls made their way down the stairs.

A few hours later found three girls sitting about a dimly lit room. Piles of clothes had been tossed and thrown about. Outfits were finalized, makeup applied, hair set. Now they just had to wait. It was an hour to the party, Mammoth would be arriving soon. Gar and his group of friends had already cleared out. Terra was offered a ride with them, but decided to go with her friends. Raven looked down at her outfit. Black knee high boots, black wrist warmers. A pink and black dress that laced up in many places, with a short flowing skirt. A silver chain and hoop type belt hung loosely around her waist. She shook her head slowly.
"I can't believe I'm wearing pink!"
Terra and Jinx looked her over and spoke at the same time. "Yeah."
"But, it looks nice on you, and it kinda has a purple color to it." Terra offered.
"You look damn hot! That's all that matters. Besides, you would have to had wait like a month before you could get it in another color. So deal!" Jinx commented as she checked herself over in the mirror for the fifth time.
"Yeah, I guess." Raven turned in her chair and picked up the black velvet necklace. She glanced at the silver bat shaped pendant set with amethyst stones and and quickly tied it around her neck.
Jinx turned back to them and took a seat on the bed. "So anyway. What are you wearing for this I.D. thing with your net hussy?"
Terra snorted and Raven glared at the pink hair girl. The girl gave her best Cheshire grin and shrugged. Raven sighed loudly and played with some of the ribbon on her dress.
"Net hussy, huh?" She shook her head. "I'm not telling you."
Jinx pouted. "Well, what is he using then?"
"I'm not telling you!" She crossed her arms.
"Why not?"
Terra just sat on the floor, looking from girl to girl with interest. Jinx continued to pout. Raven glared.
"I'm not telling, because then you'll go searching for him the entire party, and then you'll embarrass us all in some way."
Jinx huffed and narrowed her eyes. "I will not!"
Raven and Terra both snorted at her with raised brows. Jinx sputtered, huffed again and glared at the wall. Terra looked over at Raven and grinned.
Raven stood from her chair, looked herself over in the mirror quickly and headed for the door, calling over her shoulder. "Let's go, Mammoth will be here soon."
Jinx and Terra stood, made a few last second adjustments and followed Raven up to the first floor. They were greeted by Raven's aunt, who looked them all over and nodded in approval. They smiled at her and moved out of the kitchen. In the hallway they stopped and collected their jackets. As they headed out the door Mrs. Logan stopped Raven .
"Raven, have fun tonight. Don't get into anything you shouldn't be. If there's any trouble, then call. And as I told Robin and Gar, it's a Friday, and your uncle and I aren't worried about curfew tonight." Mrs. Logan smiled at Raven and gave her a small hug.
"Ok, Zoe, thanks." Raven smiled and joined her friends out on the porch.
The gold and black painted Hummer slowed to a stop. Mammoth cut the engine and looked over the occupants of his car with a playful smirk.
"Get out!"
As one, the hummer's doors opened and the car unloaded. They regrouped in front of it, their eyes roaming over Sunfire's house, and the surrounding land. The house was large and surrounded by forest. It was well off any main roads, so they never had to worry about the noise. People upon people had already arrived and were milling about. Music played loudly from inside the house. The typical laughter and shouting mingled in with the rock music. As they moved closer to the house, splashing from the pool could be heard from the backyard. Interior and exterior lights lit the house up brightly against the dark sky and forest.
Terra shivered lightly and laughed nervously. "I shouldn't have watched 'Scream' yesterday."
Gizmo eased himself next to Terra's side and wrapped a arm around her waist. "Don't worry baby, The Giz-Man is here." He winked at her and grinned.
Jinx rolled her eyes, Mammoth chuckled, and Raven sighed. Terra on the other hand, tensed. She turned her body and glared down at the little man. As his arm slid from her body, she quickly reached into her purse and raised her hand, a small black item was clenched tightly in her fist. Gizmo paled as she pressed a button on the device and blue electric snapped out from the item's prongs. He backed away slowly as she spoke.
" Touch me again and my Stun Gun will have a party with your privates!"
Gizmo gulped. Looked at the others. With a small chuckle, he turned away from his friends, and ran for the house. Terra smirked and moved into the house with the others. As they walked through the opened front door, a female voice called them to an halt. They turned and looked in the voice's direction.
A young girl pushed her way through the crowd, a smile on her face. Her long white hair was pulled back into a braid, a gold hoop swung lightly from the end of the braid about her knees, her bangs spiked out around her face. Clad in red leather pants and black boots. A red tank top fit snuggly over her large bust with a red bell sleeve that hung from her shoulder with loose stitching from the right arm. Raven, Jinx and Terra smiled back at the girl. Mammoth sent her a wave as she moved closer, but left when he caught sight of a few buddies. The girl waved her right hand at them, her sleeve falling back to show the black glove that covered her arm. The small moon shaped burn on the back of her right hand shown briefly as she dropped it back to her side. With a few more pushes through the crowd, she came to an halt in front of the three girls.
"Hey girls!"
"Hi Moon!" Terra replied
"Hey girl!" Jinx chirped.
"Hey Moonfire." Raven smiled lightly at her and gazed into the black voids that where the girls eyes. "Got new contacts I see."
Moonfire smiled and shrugged lightly. She leaned forward some and blinked. The black contacts covered all of her eyes visible surface. "Do you like?"
Raven nodded. "I do. Do they come in purple?"
Moonfire nodded. "Sure do. I'll give you the pamphlet later."
"Cool, thanks."
"No problem." Moonfire flicked her gaze over the crowd and groaned. "Ugh! That boy never learns!"
Jinx and Terra looked around. "What boy?" They asked.
Moon shivered and pointed over her shoulder, to the approaching boy. " That one!"
Raven looked also and snorted. The boy walked up to their small group and stood next to Moonfire. He nodded at Raven, Jinx and Terra. "Hello Ladies. Having a nice evening?" Before they could answer, he turned to Moon and tried to smile sexily at her. She made a grunt like sound and placed her hands on her hips as he continued.
"Moonfire, dear. You left in a hurry, we couldn't finish our conversation. How about you and I find somewhere quiet, and get to know each other better?" He winked slowly and widened his smile.
Raven, Jinx and Terra blinked at the boy. Quiet giggles shaking their bodies lightly. Moonfire rolled her eyes at him and took a small step back. "Larry! Larry, I've told you more then once that I'm not interested. I tried to be nice about it, but now you are grating on my nerves. If this is the only way to get the point across, then so be it, and I apologize ahead of time." She turned toward him, he looked on confused as she lifted her fisted hand and brought it crashing into his face.
Larry blinked at her in shock. Mumbled incoherently. Then crumpled to the ground, out cold. The other three girls gasped as they let their laughter loose. Moonfire shook her head at the fallen boy, then turned to the laughing girls with a smile. "Boys! Never listen!"
The other three nodded in agreement and sobered up some. Moonfire moved further away from the boy and stood next to Raven. "Rumor has it, that you and my brother are getting it on, is it true?" She raised a playful brow at Raven.
Raven sighed and looked at Moon. "No. Just friends."
Moon shrugged sadly. "Too bad."
Raven ignored Terra and Jinx's chatter and nudged her shoulder lightly against Moonfire. "Maybe next time. What about you? Anyone new in your life?"
Moon shook her head. "Nope. But.." She locked her gaze onto a figure across the room and smiled. "I have my eyes set on that one!"
Raven looked to here Moon pointed. She looked back at Moonfire. Moon was staring at the red-headed girl clad in purple and silver with a happy expression. Raven raised her brow some and smiled herself. "Good luck."
Moon nodded. "Thanks, have fun tonight." She moved away from the girls and headed across the room.
Raven turned on her heel, stepped up to her friends, who were still gossiping, and pushed them forward some. "It's a party. Go mingle." The three of them made their way into the crowd.
Behind them, a young perky blond named Kitten, walked by the boy crumpled on the floor. She stopped, smirked down at him, and poked his side with her heeled foot. Larry mumbled something the girl couldn't understand. She poked him again.
"Get up Larry. There's only a few Sophomore at this party, and you're making all of us look bad!" She whined.
Slowly Larry began to come to. He blinked his eyes open a few times to focus them. Kitten leaned down and smacked his face to wake him up further. His eyes widened as he stared at the blond. His mind a haze except for a few images of Moonfire flashing before him briefly, he raised himself up and reached for the blond without much thought. Her eyes widened as Larry's mouth came crashing against hers.
Kitten froze in shock. Larry continued to kiss her. She blinked a few times and moaned, letting herself melt into the kiss. Somewhere behind her, she heard a few of her friends snicker and gasp. She pushed Larry away, swiped her hand of her mouth in disgust and screamed. She hopped to her feet and ran away from him.
' Oh my GOD! Larry just kissed me! Everyone saw it! And..And...Oh my god! I liked it! Noooo!' She screamed again and ran for the nearest bathroom.
Larry was still in a daze. He mumbled again, a goofy smile plastered on his face, and fell back to the ground. Moments later he was back to being out cold.
Robin, Victor and Gar stood in a small huddle near the couch. Kori had been pulled away from the group a few minutes before hand by a happy Moon. Sunfire had already stopped by and greeted them, being closely followed by Kori's older sister, Kara. Robin tapped his fingers against his thigh, whistling lightly as he scanned over the crowd. Victor and Gar looked at each other, then to their friend. Gar grinned and Victor shook his head before slapping the nervous boy upside his head.
Robin yelled out, his hand moving to the back of his head to sooth the sting. His shaded eyes narrowed on the taller boy. "Hey! What was that for?"
Victor shrugged, smiling, and took a sip of his drink. "Felt like it?"
Robin grumbled and went back to searching the crowd. Only to have his friends interrupt again. "So dude. What is she wearing? We can help you find her."
"Not telling."
"Aw man! Why not?" Gar asked.
"'Cause you'll ruin it."
"Rob, we won't ruin your thing with your net love. Promise man. But it would make it easier, having three sets of eyes looking, instead of one. Might miss her." Victor offered. Robin seemed to think of over, but was still wouldn't agree.
"Alright man, but if you change your mind.."
"Thanks Vic. But I'm sure I'll be fine."
"So what is she looking for on you?" Gar asked, moving closer as to keep the 'secret'.
Robin smirked and turned to the side, pointing to his back pockets. "Batman patches. They're large, so she can't miss them."
"Yeah, only you would wear Batman patches on your ass and enjoy it." Victor commented.
Robin glared again and crossed his arms. "Nothing wrong with liking Batman!"
Victor threw his hands up into the air, one still holding his drink, in mock surrender. Robin turned back to the crowd as Victor and Gar let out a chuckle.
'Ok Rich, Silver bat pendant with purple stones on a black choker thing. Keep the eyes open.' As he looked over the crowd, moving around the room slowly, he tucked the back of his t-shirt into his jeans. He looked over his shoulder and made sure the large yellow and black patches on each back pocket were clear to view. With a smile he continued to walk around, Victor and Gar trailing behind at a small distance. Neither wanted to miss the "Meeting".
