Chapter 2: The Adventure Begins

Sorry if it took a while, I needed some inspiration. This is the chapter where the adventure all begins. Enjoy for all and for all enjoyment!! (gets a mouthful of avocado cookies for stupid phrase)

Later that night, after the Christmas Eve dinner, Raven tried to cry herself to sleep, but to no results but more bitterness. She wasn't the only one in tears after Christmas dinner: Raven could hear Starfire's weeping all the way from her room (Robin was there as well); There was a lot of crashing and bashing from the east side of the Tower where she suspected Beast Boy was releasing his anger; even Cyborg seemed on a verge of tears after that horrible, horrible incident…Raven couldn't pull herself together to think about it, it would only make her already broken heart even worse.

Every furniture in her room was levitating from Raven's sorrow, but she cared not for the lifeless objects, but for her friends, if she had any left that is.Will they ever speak to her again? Will they forgive her for that horrid action she committed? Will they even want her to stay in the Tower!? So many negative thoughts were floating around her now fragile mind, and the more she thought about it, the more she doubt that it will ever happen, not even Starfire would forgive me.

Raven didn't realize until now that she was sobbing rather loudly. She hushed herself up with her blanket, it silenced her a bit, but it didn't made her feel better at all. She ruined Christmas for all of them just because of her hatred against it. Christmas cookies, mistletoes, presents, trees, and St. Nick himself, it was completely pointless!! Robin's cookies made everyone sick! Why should you kiss under a piece of WEED!! Why waste precious money to buy a gift to someone else that probably won't even appreciate it!! Why chop down a stupid tree then decorate it with overly colourful lights!!? Why is…Santa…actually, Raven couldn't think of any faults in the big man at all.

However, as pointless as Christmas is, there was one thing that Raven couldn't help but agree in a positive tone: it made her friends happy. For some unforeseeable reason, Christmas makes many people very happy and cheerful indeed, like her friends for example: Robin would get particularly mushy with Starfire (Raven cried a bit for ruining their moment under the mistletoe); Cyborg would turn all big-brotherly all the sudden, what with a Santa suit and all, sigh, he was like a big brother to everyone, particularly to Raven…; Beast Boy's usually corny attitude would turn surprisingly sweet and polite, Raven remembered the times when Beast Boy was particularly nice to her, but quickly shook away the thoughts undesirably, all those times that he was nice to her, but after what I did…

Raven felt tears running down her face again. I guess I do have feelings for him after all, but… Raven's train of thoughts were halted when Beast Boy stopped thrashing his room and started bellowing loudly. And it was getting louder. And LOUDER. And it didn't sound like an elephant or lion at all. As a matter of fact, it sounds like it came from outside.

What could make this much noise at a time like this!? All the way onto Titans Island!!? Curious and unable to sleep, she got out of her bed, grabbed her winter cloak, and just to be prepared for anything, took a peek at her alarm clock, which has unfortunately stopped ticking on 10'o clock.

Apparently everyone else was still asleep, because no one came out to hear the racket, and felt the whole Tower shook all the sudden. Glasses were rattling, furniture started jittering, and even Raven was a bit spooked by it. Whatever that's out there, it's BIG.

Raven still noticed no one came out and decided to call them. But wait, after what she's done, waking them up in the middle of the night probably wouldn't be the best idea… maybe it's best I do this on my own, it'll get my mind of the…incident… She took a big swallow of courage and headed out into the bitter cold winter And gasped.

It was a train.

Surprise! Surprise! If you thought this was surprising, there'll be two special guest stars tagging along next chapter you won't believe will be in!!! Sorry if it's a bit short, I needed to jumpstart this story.Enjoy for all and for all enjoyment!!! (gets a mouthful of island dirt for stupid phrase)
