Chapter 3:The Dinner
Beast Boy waited impatiently as the dinner finished cooking, the dessert to be finished and the necklace to delivered to the door.
"Come on, come on"
The doorbell rang.
"Finally!"
Beast Boy ran to the door like he had just one a million dollar prize.
"Ha"
He opened revealing a small overweight man in his late forties.
"Delivery for Garfield Logan"
"Yeah that's me"
"Sign here"
Beast Boy took the pen and signed his name in a hurry.
"Thank you and have a great day"
Beast Boy looked inside the parcel to see the necklace that he ordered.
"It's beautiful...she'll love it"
"Love what?"
Her voice pierced him like a dagger. Raven was standing behind him.
"What do you have?"
"Nothing I ordered a new memory chip that's all"
"Memory chips don't come in jewelry boxes...whose it for?"
"Nobody"
Beast Boy ran up to her and started to push her down the hallway.
"Go back to your room and meditate okay!"
"What is the meaning of this?"
Before he pushed her all the way into her room he leaned up.
"Meet me on the roof at 8:00pm tonight okay"
He ran off he disappeared from the hallways as quick as a flash.
"Okay then"
Beast Boy after searching the tower for a long time found Cyborg in the kitchen.
"There you are I couldn't find you"
He looked at Cyborg who was in a white apron that said kiss the chef.
"Are they ready?"
The timer from the oven sounded of. Cyborg picked the tray out of the oven.
"Hot and fresh from the oven...try one"
Beast Boy picked up a fortune cookie and placed it in his mouth. The taste of it melted in his mouth. A perfect blend of sweetness.
"It's perfect Cy"
"Thank you, now do you want anything else?"
"Yeah could you set the table up on the roof?"
"Sure thing"
Cyborg took off his apron and handed it to Beast Boy.
"Get to your dinner"
"It's ready"
"What about the necklace?"
"Yep that too"
"What about you?"
"I'm not so sure"
"Come on B this is your big chance, you have to go through with this, this is your day you are finally going to tell Raven how you feel"
"I know I'm just...nervous I mean what if she doesn't like me or what if I ask her and she says no"
"Take a chance B"
"I know"
He looked at his watch.
"Oh shoot I have to get ready"
Cyborg picked up a table and carried it to the roof placing all the candles and everything on the table.
"Oh man it's already 8:15"
Beast Boy choosing what to wear was having a hard time watching the time.
"Oh great now it's 8:27 I have to go before she gets there"
Beast Boy darted up to the roof hoping that he had gotten there before Raven did. Luckily she hadn't
He waited near the door. It opened slowly and he knew it was Raven so he quickly put his hands over her eyes.
"Beast Boy what are you doing?"
"Walk"
Raven unsure decided to follow his command. She trusted that he would walk her to where ever they were going safely.
"Sit down"
Raven did what he said and took her seat.
"Now I'm gonna take my hands off your eyes but keep your eyes closed okay.
"Yeah"
HE removed his hands. Her skin was once again cold. Hid hands felt so warm against her skin.
He quickly walked over to the candles and lit them then ran to his seat and sat down,
"Okay you can open your eyes just promise you wont scream"
"Alright"
She slowly opened her eyes thinking that it was something stupid. But how she was wrong. A fancy dinner with all her favorite foods was all she could see.
"Beast Boy it's...beautiful"
"Yeah just like you"
Raven turned her head. She could feel the blood rising to her cheeks.
(What is all this? I can't belive my eyes)
"You think that this is nice open the silver dome thing"(couldn't remember what there called)
"Beast Boy I can't belive you this is really nice"
"Come on lets eat"
They ate in silence often catching glances at each other.
"Beast Boy it was wonderful!"
"Would you like dessert?"
"Beast Boy you know me I'm not really the dessert type"
"Oh I can garentee that you'll like it"
"Well..."
Beast Boy opened a container and pulled out two fortune cookies.
"See what did I tell you"
"It's perfect not too sweet and not too plain"
She cracked it in half and put the fortune aside.
It was good it melted as soon as it hit her tongue, it was the best fortune cookie she had ever had, considering it was only her third one.
"Mmm that was good and now for the fortune...wonder what it says"
She read the fortune. It said "Raven I love you" At the bottom of the fortune Beast Boy had his name printed.
She was shocked and overjoyed at the same time. Beast Boy that guys that she had fallen in love with replied back. He had the same feelings, the same affection for her.
"Beast Boy I...I..I Love you to"
"Really"
"Mmm-Hmm"
"O this is this the best day of my life, then do I have a surprise for you!"
Beast Boy pulled out a box. The same box that she had seen earlier. The necklace box that Beast Boy was holding that same day.
"Huh"
Beast Boy held the box out in front of her so that she could see it.
"Beast Boy what are you doing?"
"Look, Raven I know that we haven't gone out on any dates but I was wondering"
He opened the box.
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
Raven pulled out the necklace. Even though it didn't matter, she wasn't going to judge him bu the necklace. She loved him.
But the necklace was wonderful. It was a sterling silver raven that sat on a branch. The eyes were embedded with pure diamonds.
"Oh my god it's beautiful"
"I know it's kinda soon to be asking you such a difficult question"
"Its not difficult Beast Boy I love you, there is nothing that I want more then you"
"So"
"I'd love to be your girlfriend"
"Really?"
"Of course"
Raven took his hand. There eyes met staring into one another's. Raven threw her arms around his neck. He put one arms around her waist and his other hand on her cheek. Gently stroking it he started to speak.
"You know Raven you've helped me more then you know"
She buried her head into his chest and our of nowhere she started to sob heavily.
"Raven whats' wrong?"
