True to Your Heart
Chapter two: Who are you?
The newly made-up Raven finally reached the main room after what seemed like an eternity. "It must be the dress," she thought, "I can barely move in this thing, and how can women walk in these stupid heels?"
Then she saw Beast Boy still sitting in front of the TV playing video games. Cyborg wasn't there now so what a perfect opportunity. She walked over to BB and stood a little ways behind him. She tried getting his attention "ahem," Beast Boy continued to focus on the racing game; she tried to call as sweetly as she could "Beast Boy," but still nothing. So she resorted to the old fashioned way, "BEAST BOY!" He jumped up from where he was sitting. "Huh? What?" He looked around and saw her standing there. All was silent except for the crash of the car on the gamestation. His mouth hung open for a while then he finally said, "Who are you?" "It's me, Raven." "Whoa."
BB got up to look at her new appearance more closely. She was wearing a light purple dress with matching high heels, makeup that made her face look pale, a somewhat Starfirelike hairdo with blue bows, and (too much) fancy perfume. He circled her slowly, "Why are you wearing that dress? And why is your hair done up with bows? And why does your face look weird? And why do you smell funny?"
"I'm wearing a dress because I felt like it. My hair is like this because they made me. My face looks weird because of the makeup and I smell funny because of the perfume."
"You look different and it's kind of creepy." "Creepy?" "Yeah, sorry."
Raven couldn't take any more and started to run back to her room after tripping and falling thanks to the heels. With that she got frustrated and tore off the heels and levitated back too her room. Beast Boy ducked as one of the shoes came flying at him, only to have the other shoe hit him square in the back of the head. Raven grabbed her normal outfit and went outside. Little did she know she was being followed by a green rat. Raven sat on a big rock while Beast Boy hid behind it. Raven had taken the bows out of her hair and changed her clothes and just sat there wondering what happened. It was very confusing; her plan hadn't accomplished anything. "What's the matter with me?"
Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Ev'ry day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Raven then walked down by the water.
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I am now
In a world where I have to
Hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
someone else for all time?
When will my
Reflection show
Who I am inside?
She was still being secretly followed by a green cat.
There's a heart that must
Be free to fly
That burns with a need
To know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
She didn't care what kind of water it was as long as she could splash off the awful perfume and makeup. And with that she was normal again.
When will my
Reflection show
Who I am inside?
Now, with that off her chest,she headed back inside still unknown to her that a green rabbit was watching her. BB kept looking and changed back thinking of what he just saw.
"Dude, I had no idea she could sing like that. It was beautiful, but what was she singing for? It sounded kind of sad. I wish I knew and I wish I could tell her how I feel about her. sigh Oh well."
With that, Beast Boy too went back inside more confused than ever.
