Hello again! I'm back with Chapter 6! This is probably my favorite chapter of this story, so I hope you like it as much as I do! It was a fun one to write!
I'm so glad people like this story! Thanks to everyone who reviewed, it really means a lot to me! I know the first few chapters are confusing, so when I get the chance to, I'm thinking about fixing them up and reposting them. First, there are a few reviewers I felt I should respond to before I start the chapter.
SugarDevil – I can see her in the suit too, with her hair all weird and falling in her face... don't think that the dress-up game ends here, cause it doesn't... I probably should have had them battle at least one baddie in the story, but I didn't. And since I've finished writing the story, now I can't put in a scene where they do battle someone because that would affect the rest of the story. Sorry about that.
Anzu Shinzaki - Raven's my favorite character for the girls and Beast Boy's my favorite for the boys- I just can't choose between those two!Wave Maker - You're going to have to read the story to find out how she comes back to normal- it's coming up real soon. And on the matter of how Beast Boy came to be so good at acting... well, I figured that since he spends so much time around her (I mean, they live together and all), that he would know how she acts around him and what she says to him on a day-to-day basis. So I figured he would probably be able to act like her pretty well based on how the real Raven acted around him before she got hit in the head.
rock'n'rollbitch – The only hinting of "romance" isn't until the last chapter (8), which I think is more fluffy than romantic, in my opinion... unless you call the one-sided Beast Boy liking Raven throughout the story "chemistry." And if you don't want to read it, then don't read it. That goes for any story out there that might suggest a Beast Boy/Raven relationship. Check out my one-shot The Storm; you're not going to find any Beast Boy/Raven romance in there...

Chapter 6- A "Heated" Argument and Some Brooding
And so, the remaining Titans headed to the gym.
And upon the remaining four Titans' arrival of the gym, an alarm sounded.
Oh, but it was not the trouble alarm.
Well of course there was trouble if there was an alarm sounding throughout the tower, but it was not of the typical villain trouble.
The trouble was that Beast Boy had put the tea kettle back on the still turned on stovetop and somehow set the kitchen alight.
And now a smoke detector had sounded and forced the Titans to skip combat practice so they could instead combat the fire that would take their whole tower if they didn't act fast.
Which, of course they did act fast seeing as how none of them wanted to lose their home. They also did not want a worse situation to arise, such as having the fire become so bad that the fire department would have to show up. That was considered a worse situation to them because the fire department is unable to drive to the island to help. Also, what kind of role models would they be if the city knew about it?
In the end there wasn't that much damage because they acted so quickly. So their kitchen was a little charred. No big deal. That's something they could fix.
And did fix. In fact, they spent a good part of their afternoon and early evening cleaning everything up and making it look good as new. They were just fine and dandy with fixing the kitchen. Now when it comes to fixing lives… that's a little bit harder to do.
Speaking of which, their little identity crisis had been forgotten about when cleaning up the mess, but now it had risen again.
"Raven, I never thought I would say this, but you're just as careless as me."
Beast Boy looked at Raven and sighed.
"I TOLD you I didn't get a good sleep last night," Was all he replied to the fuchsia and black clad girl.
"You weren't kidding us when you said that, Raven. Geeze. Look at you. You've even forgotten your cloak and everything. If I'm not mistaken I think you're wearing one of my spandex outfits. Maybe that's that you were doing in my room last night… stealing one of my outfits," She said, pointing an accusing finger at Beast Boy.
"I didn't steal anything," Beast Boy firmly stated.
"Sure you didn't." Raven replied and stepped toward Beast Boy so she was right in front of him. "From now on, I want you to stay out of my room and stop trying to be me. I don't know what's been with you lately but I want it to stop. You have a room. You have your own hobbies. You have your own clothes. Stop messing with mine."
A barely audible word came out with his heavy breathing. But it was audible enough that everyone in the room heard it.
"Ditto."
Beast Boy turned his back towards the group and left the room.
Swish.
The door to Raven's room slid open and let Beast Boy in. He stepped inside the room and turned to face the open doorway. He then slid the doors closed.
Swish.
Then he opened them again.
Swish.
Close.
Swish.
Open.
Swish.
Close.
Swish.
Beast Boy mentally cursed the doors for being of the sliding variety instead of the slamming variety.
To say the least, he was pissed. He did what a normal teenager would in those situations where people boss you around.
He had stormed off to his new room and attempted to slam a set of sliding doors a repeated amount of times before finally giving up.
Because normal teenagers tend to, after storming off to their room, slam their doors a repeated amount of times to let said people know that they're pissed.
But Beast Boy was not a normal teenager. And because he was not a normal teenager, he did not live in a house with doors that slammed. Oh no, he lived in a giant T with sliding doors.
Sliding doors that swished when you closed them.
He then hurriedly went about the room in search of any sort of electronic devices he could get his hands on.
"A lamp would be really nice right about now…" He commented as he searched the dark and gloomy room. And then he remembered: He's Beast Boy. The real Beast Boy. Which brought up the incredibly obvious statement…
"DUH! I can turn into animals! I'll use night vision to help me find stuff in here! Hello, why didn't I think of this before?"
A pause, then:
"Maybe because I've been too busy spending my time lately acting like Raven to remember that I'm not Raven."
He then turned into an owl and flew about the room until he found many candles placed all about the room. He turned back into his human form and lit a handful of them, figuring that the girl used these as her light source instead of lamps at night.
After lighting some candles, he proceeded to search about the room, this time for any kind of stereo systems, televisions, video games, computers, or other significantly important electronic equipment that matters most to teenagers such as he and least to teenagers such She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
Because if he couldn't slam his doors, he at least wanted to blast some music.
Unfortunately, this was the last place on Earth (or at least in Titans Tower) that had any of said electronic devices. Slade would rise from the dead before one would ever see Raven with any significantly important form of electronics in her room.
Beast Boy sighed. Could this day have gotten any worse? He sat down on the edge of the bed and began to think the day over in the silence when a growl interrupted his thoughts.
Oh yeah, it could get worse, all right.
The only thing that Beast Boy had to eat the entire day was a mug of badly flavored herbal tea.
He fell backward onto the bed, spreading his arms out as he fell. And then he let out a heavy sigh. A sigh so heavy and thick you could cut it with a knife and put it on a cracker.
The thought of food made his stomach growl a second time. He wanted food. He wanted sleep. And most of all, he wanted Raven back to normal. Actually, he wanted food more at the current moment.
But he didn't want to have to go back down there and face She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named just so he could satisfy his hunger. He Lived so far, but he didn't want to take any chances and risk his precious booty.
Only one of the three options didn't involve facing Raven, and that one option was sleep. Thinking about what to do about Raven would have to wait until he woke in the morning, because right now, he was going to catch up on some well-deserved beauty sleep.
Beast Boy took off his shoes, belt, and gloves and threw them aside. He then got up, blew out all of the candles, and then felt his way around the room until he found her bed again. Once he found the bed, he slipped under the sheets and looked out the window at the sliver of a crescent moon and at the street lights that were visible from the city. He then glanced around the moonlit room one last time before his sleepy eyes closed and he faded off to sleep.
Well, I don't know about you, but (as I said before,) I think this is one of the better chapters of this story. Do you think so? Tell me your thoughts on the chapter, if you want. All it takes is a simple little review.
