CHAPTER 7

"Yeah right. Like you kids really think you can beat me? They don't call me Steelix for nothing!"

"Anyone got any bright ideas?" Asked Cyborg.

"I might," said Beast Boy.

"You? You have an idea? What did you do with the real Beast Boy?" Joked Cyborg

Beast Boy gave Cyborg an evil face, then looked from side to side to see if anyone was listening.

"Ok. We have to make Raven unleash her powers."

"How do we do that?"

"We have to make her cry."

Cyborg had a scared look on his face.

"Are you sure man?"

Beast Boy nodded, and called Robin and Starfire over. They told Raven to keep Steelix busy while they thought of a plan. The four Titans talked it over, then finally came up with the perfect way to make Raven cry. BREAK HER HEART.

"Oh Robin, I am sorry but my true feelings are for Beast Boy," Starfire said.

"Oh Starfire, my love, kiss me!" Said Beast Boy a little too dramatically.

They did kiss, but of course it wasn't a real kiss. Raven spun around and fell to the ground from her levitating position. She kneeled on the ground and looked up at Beast Boy.

"Beast Boy, why?"

Raven started crying. Once again the sky went black, and it started to rain. Lightning shot down a hit Steelix. He dodged the attack.

"Raven? Are you ok? I faked that kiss so you would cry, so we could stop Steelix," Beast Boy said.

"No. I'm not ok. I feel like my hearts been ripped out. But I know who I can take it out on!" (Ok. So I like Danny Phantom too.)

Raven let out the emotion she hadn't felt since the battle with Terra. ANGER. She grew 7 feet taller, and had four eyes that were glowing blood red. She sucked Steelix under her cloak, and said her old angry catch phrase.

"WHAT'S THE MATTER? AFRAID OF THE DARK?"

Steelix said three words before he vanished into another dimension that Raven sent him to.

"This isn't over!"

Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin all moved 20 feet away from Raven, but Beast Boy walked right up to her.

"Is Steelix really gone?"

She didn't answer.

Raven are you ok? I already said that that kiss wasn't real! I still love you!" sweat drops form on the other titans

She stood up, and threw her arms around Beast Boy, and gave him a good long hug. When she let go, she ran over to Robin and whispered,

"We'll be right back."

With her powers she lifted up a rock, and took Beast Boy's hand.

"Wanna got out to dinner?" She asked.

Beast Boy smiled and said,

"I'd love to."

The two of them hopped onto the rock and flew away.

"What did Raven say to you Robin?" Asked Starfire.

"She said they'll be right back, but I think they'll be gone a while. Let's give them some time alone."

Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire headed back to the tower. Cyborg played Mega Monkeys 4 on the game station, while Starfire and Robin were in Starfire's room reading magazines.

Raven and Beast Boy were still flying on the rock and just chatting.

"So," said Beast Boy, "Where do you want to go for dinner?"

"There's a restaurant about 5 minutes away from here that makes an excellent salad. I know you're a vegetarian, so I'm sure they can throw in a couple pieces of tofu or something."

"Ok. So, I take you've been there before?"

"I go there every weekend after I meditate."

As they reached their destination, Raven once more picked up Beast Boy like she was carrying a baby, and dropped the boulder on the ground. They flew down from the sky and walked into the restaurant.

"Good evening," said the hostess, "what is your party number?"

"Two," said Raven.

The Hostess showed them to their table, as their waitress walked by.

"Hi Raven. I see you've brought a friend. Is this the one you've been telling me ab-OWWW!" Before the waitress could finish her sentence, Raven kicked her hard in the leg.

"We'll have the usual Jen. Oh, and put some tofu pieces in his," Raven said in a grunt.

Beast Boy looked confused as Jenny walked away.

"What was that all about?" He asked.

"Uh…n…nothing." She tried to advert his gaze, but she couldn't help staring. He looked like a huge, green, velvety teddy bear waiting to be hugged.

"Raven, is everything ok?"

"Um…I'll be right back," she said, and ran into the bathroom.
