Raven glanced at her clock. Almost time for that rematch, Raven thought, I might as well go out there and get it over with.
Just then there was a knock at her door. She opened it to see Beast Boy.
"Time for our rematch, Raven!" he said, looking excited and nervous at the same time.
They walked into the other room where the others were waiting.
Robin came up to them and said, "Okay, this match is going to be perfectly fair, so I dimmed the lights so no light will glare off the screen, looked over both controllers so they will have no problems, along with some other things."
Beast Boy looked around the dim-lighted room, his excitement growing.
"You will be racing on the race track called 'Hollywood Highways'," Robin continued as Raven and Beast Boy sat down and picked up their controllers. The GameStation was already all set up, and all they needed to do was pick their cars and race.
"Okay! Let's get racing then!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
Raven raised one eyebrow. "Aren't you forgetting something?"
"She's right, BB," Cyborg pointed out.
"Oh, that," Beast Boy said, standing up and raising his right hand. "I, Beast Boy, solemnly swear that if Raven wins the rematch race, I will never ask her to play the game Racing Rave 5000 ever again. She can only play if she wants to."
"And we're the witnesses, and if Raven comes to us telling us that you've been bothering her about playing the Rave, you will not be able to play any video games for two weeks," Robin said.
"Fine," Beast Boy replied, flipping through the race cars.
Raven also was flipping through the cars, and Cyborg, Robin and Starfire were all waiting silently.
"I cannot wait!" Starfire said, eyes widening with excitement.
Beast Boy and Raven selected their cars and were then briefed on the track.
"Hollywood Highways is a track set on a clear highway. Prepare to be thrilled as you race through eight laps against your opponent! This track requires skill and courage as you navigate treacherous sharp turns," Cyborg read the words on the TV screen aloud.
Then the race started, the two racing cars speeding down the highway, neither one of them ahead yet.
The other three Titans who weren't racing were staring at the TV screen, eating cheese doodles.
Beast Boy was concentrating very hard, and it showed on his face. Suddenly, there was a sharp turn. He pulled his car through it, leaning his body to the right as if that would help the car turn better. He risked a glance at Raven, who looked completely normal and relaxed.
The first five laps were pretty much the same, first it was Beast Boy pulling ahead of Raven, then it was the other way around.
But lap six was different.
"Ha-ha!" Beast Boy shouted triumphantly as he once again took the lead, this time he was much farther than Raven. Then he told himself, get a hold of yourself, Beast Boy, you need to win this race, and you can't do that if you don't pay attention to…what's…- Raven swerved her car in front of Beast Boy's. – HAPPENING!
But a few minutes later, he once again got the lead, and there was even greater distance between him and Raven.
Okay, Beast Boy told himself, this time, pay attention, pay attention…gotta beat…Raven…get the title back…pay attention…
He swerved his car into another tight turn, leaning sharply to the right, almost hitting Raven doing so.
"Oops, sorry," he muttered as he pulled himself straight.
"Yah think that that'll make your car turn better, Beast Boy? Leaning over?" laughed Cyborg.
"Shhhh!" Beast Boy said, annoyed. "I'm trying to concentrate here!"
"LAST LAP!" the two words flashed red across the screen, and both Raven and Beast Boy urged their cars to go even faster. Beast Boy was still ahead, but the gap between the two Titans' cars was getting smaller by the minute.
Beast Boy could see the finish line, smell the victory. Then something happened that he considered impossible happened – Raven took the lead, and crossed the finish line.
Beast Boy sat there, mouth open, staring at the words 'RAVEN WINS!' again. How? He asked himself.
Starfire, Robin and Cyborg were cheering, and congratulating Raven.
"Congratulations Raven! You're the official champion of Racing Rave 5000!" Cyborg shouted.
Beast Boy was still staring at the TV, only half listening.
"No," Raven said.
The other three Titans stopped cheering abruptly and stared at her.
"Huh? What do you mean, 'no'?" Cyborg asked.
"I mean, I'm not the champion."
"Why not?" Beast Boy asked, looking up at her with a confused face.
"Because I'm not accepting the title. It's yours, Beast Boy," Raven replied.
"What? Not accepting the title? I…uh…"
"Keep it."
"Um…Raven…Are you sure?" Beast Boy asked, looking unsure.
"Of course I'm sure."
Beast Boy began to protest, but Robin stopped him. "If Raven says the title is yours, Beast Boy, then it is yours."
"Wow…Thanks, Rae!"
Starfire gave everyone a huge smile and said, "Good! Now that everyone is done, I believe we have a pizza pie waiting in the kitchen!"
-
Two weeks later, Raven was in her room when there was a knock on her door.
It was Beast Boy. "Rae! Look what just came out in the video game store! The game that I just bought!" He handed her a video game box.
On the box, in big bold, red letters, was "RACING RAVE 6000"
"They made a sequel?" Raven asked.
"You bet they made a sequel!" Beast Boy said, smiling. Then his smile turned into a pleading one.
Raven knew what was about to happen, but knew Beast Boy wouldn't ask her to play Racing Rave 6000.
Raven looked at the front of the box again, then to Beast Boy's now longing face.
"Hey…Beast Boy…Do you think you want to…play Racing Rave 6000 with me? This time without the whole title stuff?" Raven asked.
Beast Boy's face went through three changes. First: a shocked expression, second: he blushed, third: pleased expression. "Really!"
Raven nodded.
"Yeah!"
"Then let's go then."
Beast Boy smiled brightly as he and Raven went to play Racing Rave 6000.
The End
