Hello everybody!!!!! I'm glad to say that this is the next chapter of Young Heroes!!!! This is like the longest thingy I've ever written, other than a play that I wrote but that was only long because it was double spaced......

AP: And now she's going to get anxious over that because she modeled one of the characters after a guy she likes and he's going to read it. AND she's screwed. Anyway, in all seriousness, I am unhappy to say that we are going to have to take at the max two weeks off from writing. Our finals and papers are coming up, and RP really needs to buckle down and get good grades.

RP: ::melodramatic voice:: ::sniff, sniff:: OH I WILL MISS YOU ALL SOOOOOOO MUCH!!! YOU CANNOT TELL THE MISERY THAT I WILL HAVE TO OVER COME!!! WORKS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE boredness that I will have to go through.......::whines:: why me????? This sucks.........

AP: Oh, quit you're whining! There's nothing that you can do about the current situation, it just happens. AND NO ONE IS OUT TO GET YOU!!!!

RP: BUT THERE IS SOMEONE OUT TO GET ME!!!!! ::throws chair:: YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! ::gasps:: it is you......I KNEW IT!!!!! HA WAIT TILL THE GUYS AT GROUP COUNSELING HEAR THIS!!!!!

AP: Oh, great, now she's going to go to counseling and tell them about me again. Now mind you, I won't go away, because we are not a schizophrenic, we just happen to be very different personalities that dominate one person at different times. As you can see and/or read, it is the "Regular Personality" that dominates mostly. I regret to say that I'm not very good at holding the domination for long periods of time. I did however, take over for about a good three months, but now she regards that time as a depression that she won't allow herself to slip into again. Oh well, really I'm not all bad. Here's your chapter:

Chapter 5: Some Unexpected Occurrences

"What happened to her???" BB screamed at everyone. Well, I think that anyone would. Raven came rushing over, completely blowing everyone else aside to get to Dove. She took Dove's pulse.

"She's alright, but her heart beat is faint. We need to get her home quickly." Raven grabbed Dove away from Beast Boy almost as if she didn't trust anyone else with her newfound best friend. She took off flying for the tower before anyone else could speak.

"Robin, why did friend Raven act as an earth mother?" Starfire said curiously.

"Well, Star, I guess that she's being protective of Dove because she feels a special connection with her." "She's just so much like her..." he said under his breath. "Okay team, you heard what Raven said. Let's get home!"

When the rest of the Titans got to the tower, Raven had Dove on the couch with a cold compress on her forehead and a cup of lavender tea on the coffee table. Raven looked up when she heard the door open and close. "We just have to wait for her to wake up. That's all we can do."

The Titans just nodded. They knew that they really had no say in the matter and that whatever Raven thought that they should do was probably the best for Dove. Raven waited all of the rest of the day for Dove to wake up, but she didn't. Raven just waited patiently reading a book or meditating, but she never left Dove's side.

Robin looked in on Raven and Dove, as he was about to go to bed. Raven was still there, and he felt the urge to try and comfort her somehow. "Hey Rae, she probably wake up tomorrow. I figure that the bow and arrow thing was pretty taxing on her system, you know. Don't worry she's probably just healing herself, like you can." He placed a soothing hand on her shoulder. He that it was a big deal for Raven to be touched, but he wanted to try and see if he could do it.

Raven didn't react outwardly. Instead she kept her head down to hide the blush that was creeping up into her white cheeks. She liked the fact that Robin was trying to comfort her and the fact that it meant that he had some feelings for her, even though they were probably just as a friend. Her thoughts wandered to what she had told Dove early that day.

Flashback

"Oh, human girl stuff......" Raven laughed a bit, "what, does he not like you or something?"

"Yes, no, well, I have never asked him..."

"Well, that's your problem, ask him whether he likes you!" Raven chuckled inwardly, funny how she was giving advice on a topic and a problem that she was having herself. "I should really take my own advice!"

End Flashback

"Maybe I should take my own advice, I should probably tell Robin how I feel." She finally looked up at Robin. A part of her didn't want to say anything and keep how she was feeling as an unrequited love, but there was another part that told her that she should make the leap and that she should be daring.

"Listen, Rae, I...um,"

"No, um, Robin, I have something to tell you."

"Yeah, me too." Robin looked at Rae with surprise. What he wanted to tell her was of his feelings towards her; he had decided to do it on the spur of the moment. He didn't care if she didn't return his feelings, but he knew that if he didn't get them out there then he would live in denial. He wanted to let her know how he felt, if only to maybe spur some of her own feelings to come out. "But, please, just let me go first."

Raven had no idea what he was going to say. She nodded.

Robin took a deep breath to hopefully get rid of the gitters that he was getting all of a sudden. "Rae, I love you. I love you a lot. I know that you might think that Starfire and I are a couple but, after talking to her, there's nothing really there. I don't have as much fun as I do when I'm with you. I think that we connect on a more intellectual level than me and Starfire ever could. At first I just thought that we could be friends but, now I see that I want more than that, I love you." He glanced at Raven's face, she was looking franticly around like she wanted to get out of the room and quickly.

All of a sudden the teacup next to her exploded and the tea inside went everywhere, especially Raven. "Oh, here let me help you with that." Robin said as he bent down and pulled out a red handkerchief. He pulled down Raven's hood and swiped the tea that was on her cheek away.

When he did this, Raven could tell that he had really meant what he said. No one could touch her as gently as he did if he hadn't meant what he said. "Robin, I have something to confess also," she raised her eyes to his, "I love you too."

She dropped her eyes from his as if, wondering what was going to happen. Robin, who couldn't believe it was happening, dropped the tissue in his hand and grasped her chin. He turned her face towards him more, "Do you, do you really mean it?" He asked with all of the tenderness and hope in his heart.

"Of course, Robin," she said, looking now completely into his eyes. "I think I love you more than anyone could ever tell. I was so stupid to try and push my feelings for you aside. To totally deny myself of all emotions, and that's what Dove taught me. She taught me how to feel."

And with that Robin drew Raven into a tight embrace. Finally his mouth found hers and they kissed. Raven couldn't believe it, this was her first kiss and she was so happy that it was with Robin. The feeling that she was getting felt as if a fairytale had come true, she was finally with Robin. Then as if she had had an epiphany, it came to her, the feeling that she was getting wasn't a fairytale, it was like the world was off of it's axes for a long time, and was finally righting itself. What she and Robin were sharing felt so right, that she no longer had any reason that it could be wrong for her to express her emotions. She wanted to keep this going, she felt as if the relationship was meant to be.

Robin and Raven were so sucked into their newfound relationship that they didn't notice the person who was just waking up besides them. Dove, who had been wakened by her shield as it went up to protect her from the flying tea, was only just becoming conscience. Her first thoughts were, "Urg, what happened? Why do I feel groggy?" Her memory flooded back to her. "Oh dear, yes, well I must have used up my energy summoning the arrow. I do hope I didn't hurt that poor girl too much." She felt the couch underneath her, still not opening her eyes, "I do think that my friends have taken me to the tower, yes, that would explain the couch that I'm laying on." She cracked her eyes open. "Yes, I am in the tower!" Dove then opened her eyes fully, she glanced around until she could see Robin and Raven. "Oh, it appears," giggle, "as if I would interrupt something" giggle, "if I said anything. Oh well, I will go to the roof then to think." She then hovered off the ground and flew off the staircase to the roof. She looked back at the young sweethearts, "Good, they didn't hear me leave. I would hate to have broken the mood." She then sighed. "Why is it that I feel so awful?" she asked herself as she walked up the stairs, "I must not be jealous of Raven, she is my friend and I love her with all of my heart. Anyway, Raven solved my problem, I guess that I solved hers." She then threw open the door to the roof.
"I must now think on how I should get home. I shall meditate." Dove then sat cross-legged on the roof and hovered up. She placed her hands together in a praying motion and was still for many moments.

A completely white place

"Well, seems that our little messenger has done her job. Has she not?" Asked a soft, stern male voice. "Yes, but she has not fully learned the lesson and meaning for her journey. She must stay until she's found this out." A large booming voice answered the first. It seemed as if it shook the whole area, and was larger than life itself. "But, sir, how is she to find out the required information if there is obliviously no one there to tell it to her? How can we be so cruel?" "Fine, then, Michael. You shall go and tell your daughter what she needs to know." The voice seemed angry and annoyed. This was softened and tolerated a few seconds later, "I see now that it has been far too long since you have had a good visit with her. This must be the other reason you have to tell her the information, you know as well as I that she is capable of discovering the information on her own, just like she did with her own powers. But, if you feel the need and longing to be with your daughter than you shall go. Go tomorrow and she shall return the following day to her dimension." "Oh, thank you, Lord. You're mercy is well received!" Michael smiled at his maker and then flew off to prepare to see his daughter once again.
