Authors Note: The 'inner voices' are versions of the other Ravens in 'Nevermore' As this fic is in script, this was the only way I could put in thoughts.
*BB was up to the door first, so he grabbed the handle. Then let go, blowing on his fingers. Cy smashed the lock and the door swung open, revealing the smoke filled interior. Star rushed in and pulled Raven out, and BB went to do CPR, but Raven woke up with a lot of coughing and spluttering. Robin stamped out the dying flame near the door, and then whistled at the sight of the room*
Robin: Oh dear.
BB: Raven? Wake up!
Star: Do you wish to consume some water?
Cy: (not to Raven) Y'know, this is evidence for what I said downstairs.
Raven: *Takes deep breaths, deliberately avoids BB's hand as she stands* No! I…am fine. Need… to be alone. I'll be… on… the roof. *She staggers away from them*
BB: Rei? Are you sure… that you're ok? *Watches her go* And 'no answer' was the stern reply…
Star: *Screams as she sees the inside of the room* Raven! Your room has been destroyed! *Follows her* Are you undamaged? Come back!
Cy: So Drama Queen. *He looks disgusted*
BB: Raven!
*But she gets to a door, slams it, and doesn't come back*
Robin: Sooo… should we repair the room for her?
*
*Raven concentrated on the peat stone, trying to move it. She stared at it until she was blue in the face, with no visible effect on the stone. Then she gave up*
Grey inner voice: How could they say that about me? Why? Do they hate me?
*She tenses, expecting something to explode because of her thoughts. Nothing does, so she relaxes. Then the peat stone threw itself off of the roof*
Pinkie: Don't be silly, girl! They totally love you! Especially BB. *Winks* You know that though, don't you? Let's go and give him a kiss!
Blue inner voice: No. I asked you all together so that one of you can tell us why our powers are on the fritz.
Pinkie: Cuz you're in Lurve! I know! Tonight, we'll go into his room and...
Blue inner voice: Quiet!
Green inner voice: Maybe… no. Or Pinkie could be ri…
Pinkie: Right? About BB? Of course! You're both so obvious!
All inner Ravens: Shut Up!
Green inner voice: Not what I meant. When he and Cyborg were here they might have broken something…
Blue inner voice: Like what?
Green inner voice: Okay, dead end. We are ill…
Pinkie: Why won't you admit…?
Yellow inner voice: Of course, it is conceivable that your powers are, as you call them, 'on the fritz' simply because you are ill. You have experienced flu-like symptoms, and I am entertaining several theories on the subject of…
Grey inner voice: (has just completed monologue of sadness) I fear the roof. We should go back to our room which is close to the others even though they hate us…
Pinkie: No they don't!
Grey inner voice: *Looks despairingly at Pinkie* Didn't you hear what they were saying? *Her lip trembles* Cyborg… Cyborg called us a Drama Queen! *She burst into tears*
Red inner voice: Let us kill them…
*Raven draws herself back into one, not wanting to pursue that train of thought. There is a knock on the door*
BB: Raven?
Raven: *In 'Pinkie' mode* What!
BB: Are you, that is to say, do you… Hi.
Raven: *Pinkies mood being replaced by that of the Grey inner voice* You hate me!
BB: No I don't! Can I come in?
Raven: No!
BB: Why not?
Raven: Fine!
*BB is taken aback by the quick victory. He walks in and Raven leans against a wall*
BB: Um, did you, by any chance, hear… what Cy was saying?
*Raven bursts into tears*
BB: That's a yes, then. Hey, don't cry, he didn't mean it! *He turns into a dog and licks her arm. She pushes him away, and he rolls, changing back. He ends up on his side* Rei… *He sits beside her, and watching her face carefully, snakes a hand around her shoulders, then pulls her close* It's okay *He kisses her hair (watch a Chibi of Pinkie dancing), Raven stops sobbing, then as he goes to kiss her hair again, she tilts her face upwards. As their lips meet, happy music plays*
*Just then, Star opens the door, carrying a tray of milk and cookies*
Star: Raven, I was wondering…*She sees the kiss, and drops the plate. Raven and BB spring apart* Oh my.
Raven: *Eyes wide* Uh, Star, um…
BB: Don't tell the others!
Blue inner voice: Great, now it sounds as though there's something to tell. *Rolls eyes*
Star: I… won't. *Changes gear* So when is the wedding?
BB: Wha? Wedding?
Star: A kiss signifies the acceptance of a proposal! And I will prepare a feast! *She runs away*
BB: But we're not… *Turns back to Raven* Think she's gone to tell Robin?
Raven: *Dusts herself off* I wouldn't bet against it.
BB: *Helps Raven to her feet* So, uh, Rei?
Raven: What?
BB: Uh, you know. *Is suddenly bashful* The uh, kiss.
Raven: Oh, that. *Looks at the door* Well, there goes my emotionless rep. *She is suddenly angry* Why did that have to happen! *She kicks the wall* And to top it off…
BB: *Very distressed* If you're that unhappy about it *Yells* maybe you shouldn't have moved your head!
*She looks at BB's face, and begins to cry again*
BB: *Goes over and hugs her* I'm sorry Rei. I love you.
*Ravens eyes are closed, there is a flash. She opens her eyes*
Raven: I love you too, Beast Boy.
