Chapter 2

"Raven, wait up!" Robin yelled chasing after his oddly acting teammate.

What was going on with her? 'She kissed me' Robin thought, she was acting so Un-Raven like. She knew this place apparently. 'Is this where Raven came from?' He continued running. 'She kissed me, and I liked it.' He could not get that thought out of his head.

As he passed through an arch of rock, he appeared in a completely different area then he was just in.

"Okay, this is getting more then a little weird." This place was pink, and fluffy looking, it looked like the place Care bears lived, a strawberry floated by in the air. "This would be Starfire's dream world no doubt."

"Oh that is so true cutie!" The voice was the uncharacteristically joyful Raven's. She popped up in front of him. "Miss me?"

He fought to hold back a smile, he was happy to see her again, but was worried about her because she was acting so nuts.

"Raven, what's wrong with you?" He asked concerned. "This isn't like you." The Raven laughed.

"What do you mean? This is how I always am, Raven just doesn't show it." She said.

'Now she's talking about herself in the third person?' Something was definitely not right.'

"So you caught up to me! Congrats, forbidden door is that way." She pointed down the path. She then leaned close to him. "And as for part two of your prize." She kissed him quickly again, laughed and ran off.

"RAVEN!" Robin yelled. 'Why is she always running off?' He wondered. 'And what's with all the kissing!' He felt his lips and sighed. Could Raven really like him?

"You ask her man!" Beast Boy said pointing to Cyborg.

"No way am I going to ask her, you ask her!" Cyborg demanded.

"Friends, friends, no mean talk, I will ask friend Raven." Starfire tried to stop the argument. The two nodded looking very relieved they did not have to.

The three approached the meditating Raven who was on the roof of the tower. Starfire smiled and waved.

"Hello friend Raven, have you seen Robin? We cannot find him." She explained. Raven opened one eye and looked to the three. Cyborg and Beast Boy prayed she would not kill them for disturbing her.

But to everyone's surprise Raven began to laugh loudly and uncontrollably. After Raven stopped she got up and looked to the three. "I have to check on something."

The three looked as she left in shock. "Many of your earth terms are strange to me. But that was 'totally freaky' correct?" Starfire asked.

Cyborg and Beast Boy nodded. "Ya that could even qualify as 'totally freaky to the extreme'" Beast Boy explained, Cyborg nodded again.

As Robin passed through the second arch the world changed back to the rocky path he was on before. 'Man what I would give to have Cyborg, Beast Boy or Starfire with me right now.'

'Heck even though she's acting crazy, I would like to see-' His thoughts were cut off as he spotted his missing friend.

"Raven! Why did you run away, what's going on?" He asked. Raven now wore a gray cloak, and was not smiling anymore. She shot back in apparent fear from his words.

"Whoa, Raven, sorry I didn't mean to freak out like that." He said trying to comfort her. 'Smart move Grayson, she's obviously having some sort of problem and you freak out on her.' He mentally slapped himself 'And on top of it all you know she likes you.'

That thought just sprung out. She must like him, that's why she kissed him right? But did he like her? 'She's smart, she's attractive, but I never thought she'd ever feel that way for me.' He sorted out. But he decided he should do that later, when he was back in the tower.

He looked down the path and spotted something. "Hey Raven, is that the forbidden door you mentioned?" She nodded.

She nodded, very slightly. He grabbed her hand, she looked nervous as he did.

"Come on, let's go home then."

As he took his first step in the direction of the door, and suddenly walls shot up out of the ground. He couldn't see it but he heard more walls shooting up everywhere. He looked around with surprise, this place was insane! He hadn't brought his climbing equipment either.

"Uh, Raven, what is this?"

"It's a maze, I can show you through it, but when you reach the end you won't like me. You already don't like me much." She said sadly.

"Raven, I like you! I do!" He said trying to comfort her. 'Man is she having some mood swings.' She looked back to him.

"Maybe, but you like Starfire more then you'll ever like me." Raven turned around and motion for him to follow as she began walking through the maze.

"Raven, that's not true. I don't like Stafire more then you." He wasn't sure why she thought such a thing. Sure he had been attracted to Starfire at first, but he had formed almost a brother sister relationship with her since the team started.

"Uh, Robin remember when I said you looked like a 'walking traffic light'? I'm sorry."

"Uh, that's okay Raven." Why did she bring that up? Man, he really wanted to know why she was acting so strange. He really wanted to help her.

"And remember when I said 'you make stupid decisions'? I'm sorry about that to." He looked her over, it seemed like she could cry at any moment.

"I forgive you."

"And remember when I said-"

Raven entered her room and went straight to her dresser. She picked up her mirror and looked into it.

"No!" She shouted. 'He is not suppose to be in there! When I get my hands on that good looking idiots I'm going to-'

She paused. 'Good looking idiot? Were did that come from?' She shook it off, and entered her Nevermore.

"And remember the time I called you 'the Boy Blunder'. I'm sorry about that to." Raven continued, through out the whole journey through the maze Raven had been apologizing for everything she had ever done.

"Raven, I forgive you okay? I forgive you for everything you've ever said or done to me. Now please stop apologizing." Robin assured.

Then he noticed something, they were near the exit of the maze. "Thanks Raven, now we can finally get back to the tower."

To hideous statues stood by the exit. As Robin approached, they came to life, and fused together into one.

"Raven what is this?" He paniced, looking back to Raven.

She sighed.

"I told you, you wouldn't like me anymore when we got to the end."

He could fight the thing, but it was made of pure rock. Punches and kicks would be useless. Luckily his assortment of weapons in his utility belt could make destroying the creature easy.

Now if he had only known he was going to be involved in a fight for his life when entering Raven's room, he might have actually been wearing his utility belt.

He looked back to the grey cloaked Raven, she had disappeared.

"I may be in trouble."
