Denial

Raven looked at her new found emotion, she was both stunned and worried.

Maybe it was one of her father's traps? She did not know. Maybe she could trust this emotion? But then again why would she, she only just met Valerie.

"Alright, Raven would you like to get the antidote ready?" asked Valerie.

Raven heard this as music to her ears...could she really be free of her emotions? Could she love robin as she always wanted? Could she for once be......happy?

"mn hmmn" was all that raven said while nodding. She found that a simple nod was a lot better than speaking. In any case she couldn't speak for she was too stunned at herself for not knowing that she had this emotion locked up inside.

"well the first things you will need are..... (1) a lock of your hair.

(2) 6 rose petals but they must be 3 of the blue rose and 3 of the ruby rose.

(3) lipstick preferably plum.

After Valerie had told her what she needed to complete the task raven went out and searched for the items. She morphed out of her mirror and opened her door slowly. And the person she least wanted to see at the moment in time was Starfire.

The young tamaranian princess stood in front of the girl and sweetly asked" raven? May I speak with you?"

Raven again nodded but her head side wobbled in a way to make it look like she had said yes and no at the same time.

Starfire however took this as a moment to Ask raven to join her in her room. Raven agreed and followed Starfire into her room. Raven thought she was on marshmallow planet for everything in starfires room was soft....cuddly....and even worse PINK!

Starfire had motioned for raven to sit down on the bed, as she did so herself.

The young girl began "Raven um what do you do if you like a boy but are unsure if he likes you back?"

Raven had a feeling who Starfire was speaking of and so raven felt the need to tell her about robin and herself. But she didn't want to hurt Star's feelings.

So she politely answered with "um Starfire? I'm not sure ive uh..never..um liked anyone?.....to um tell them yeah that's right." Raven quickly gave out a gasp of relief.

She looked at Starfire her eyes showed many emotions....most of them in which raven will soon be able to use. The girl looked sad and replied with "ok thank you raven you are a true friend." Then she smiled as raven walked out of the room.

Back in the kitchen raven searched for scissors for the lock of her hair she needed to cut.

She looked in all the drawers and thought...' cyborg would know he's the only one in this house who knows where everything is'

As she started off to search for the hybrid, she thought it over once more' wait cyborg can't even find the remote how's he gonna know where the scissors are?' she walked al lil further into the kitchen and then she heard something.......it was the sound of chains knocking together. The curious girl walked over to where she heard it coming from ...she followed until it lead her to the training room. there making all the noise was the boy wonder of her dreams he just got don't beating a punching bag which was specially designed to look like him....like slade!

"how dare you ruin what we were sharing slade!" she heard the boy scream "you ruined my only chance with the girl of my dreams you stupid idiot!!" raven was stunned at what he heard ' the girl of....my....dreams...one chance....' The words echoed in her mind.

'I am the girl of his dreams?' she reached for the door knob to walk in...but then she remembered that robin and the others didn't know that she knew how to fix her emotions. Well correction she didn't but Valerie did.

She decided she would just play with robin a bit and make him think she can't love him...then in the end she will surprise him.

She found the scissors and went into the garden and got 3 petals of the blue rose and 3 petals of the ruby rose. Then headed upstairs. She reached her room and before she opened the door she heard beast boy and cyborg squabbling over who won on triple threat 2 their news V Game. Then with that she opened the door. As she entered her room she thought about how hurt Starfire would feel if she knew about 'them' was there really a 'them'? she will soon find out.

She grasped her mirror and spoke gently "azarath metrion..." but was cut off when she suddenly was sucked into her mirror.

"raven I have been waiting for you." She heard the familiar voice of Valerie. Is was dark, yet lovingly soft, although she had the same monotone as raven....she let hints that she was love threw her physical actions and tints to her voice.

Valerie motioned for raven to come to where she was while saying "are you ready?"

As raven began to walk towards the emotion she stopped. And just stood there.

Ravens heart raced fir she knew that this whole thing was too good to be true, everything...Valerie, Robin. And this so called 'potion'

Raven paused from her thought as a flash back of her and robins first kiss together. Then she knew what she wanted and started at Valerie again.

"Ok raven I will need you to lie down, close your eyes and chant your usual in your head while I begin." Raven obeyed and lied down and chanted 'azarath metrion zinthos' over and over in her head.

"your gonna feel a slight tingle, but it will be over soon." Said her emotion.

Valerie placed her hands upon ravens head as she too chanted but her words were of a different kind. Words of love.

"rathazar trinome toszith"

Just then the ceremony was interrupted by the titan's criminal alarm. Raven jumped to a standing pose and said slightly annoyed "duty calls" and morphed out of her mirror and headed towards the common room to see what was going on.

DUN DAA DAA!! –gasp- She did it again lol

Incase u were wondering Valerie's chanting words are simply the same as Ravens just mixed up.
