Raven went to the pool, as that was one of the few places she could sit and relax. With her black one piece on, she grabbed two of those little foam worms, and floated around in the pool. Suddenly a thought came into her head.
What if I tried short-circuiting the mic and camera? Maybe then I would be free of Slade.
So with that thought, She opened her mouth and eyes and dunked her head under the water. After a few seconds, she came back out of the water. No such luck. Slade had water proofed them. He knew that she would have thought of that at some point.
She climbed back on her crudely made floaty. Starting to try and relax, she decided that, since there was no one around, she would stretch her vocal cords and let her voice rise above the clouds. She chose a beautiful, sensitive ballad that she had learned once upon a time, a long time a go.
Fare thee well my dear I must be gone and leave you for a while.
If I roam away I come back again
Though I roam ten thousand miles my dear,
Though I roam ten thousand mile ten thousand miles
So fair though art my bonnie lass
So deep in love am I.
But I never will prove false to the bonnie lass I love.
The stars fall from the skies my dear
The stars fall from the skies
The sea will never run dry
The sea will never run dry
Nor the rocks melt with the sun
The rocks melt with the sun.
I never will prove false
I never will prove false till all these things be done
Till all these things be dine
Oh yonder doth that dove and he sits in yonder high tree
A making a moan for the loss of his love.
Ill do for you, Ill do for you
I will do for you as I do for you
Behind her were a very polite round of applause. She turned to look and there behind her in the water, was Beast Boy.
"What was that song?" Asked he
"The Turtle Dove. My mother taught it to me when I was little." Raven answered.
"How come you don't sing in front of any one? How come you never told us you could sing?"
"Because I'm a little shy when it comes to crowds. I also don't like to be hassled about it. People wanted me to sing all the time back on Azarath. I never liked it when they pushed me till I sang."
"I understand. I press you. I promise." And with this came a kiss. Not a peck on the cheek, but a full out mouth to mouth.
Yes! I did it! Beast Boy thought.
"Rae? Will you be my girl friend?"
"Yeah. I will!"
