Ch.4 Apologies

-I just wish I were normal-

-I want to feel...love-

(You all should know walking w/your head down is not smart)

...SLAM!!!

Raven fell over backwards on the soft grass with a thump. She opened her eyes to see a man in front of her, about 17 with white hair and blue eyes, holding his forehead with one hand and the other extended to help Raven up. A smile swept across Raven's face.

"I'm sorry, I really should walk with my head up more often." Said the man.

"Same here, by the way, I'm Raven."

"Sora"

"Nice to meet you, Sora," said Raven.

"Glad to meet you too, Raven."

"Well, I guess I better start walking, uh, again." Stumbled Raven, blushing furiously.

"Maybe I should go with you, you know, to think of a better excuse for falling for you, I mean over you!" said Sora, now blushing twice as hard as Raven.

"I think I'd like that," replied Raven. They started to walk once more. They saw beautiful blue fish shimmering in the lake. They came across a family of ducks.

"They're cute," observed Raven.

"Yeah, You're cute." Sora said as he gazed starry eyed at Raven, not even noticing his slip. Raven beat Sora at blushing. They kept on walking and talking (a difficult skill) when they noticed that they had the same interests and likes. By the time that they paid attention to anything other then each other they realized they had trekked around the lake three to four times. When they reached the Titans again Raven decided that it was time to go.

"Well, Sora, I had a great time talking to you."

"So did I, Raven."

"Maybe I can clumsily run into you down again sometime," said Raven as she started to the team while Sora built up courage.

"How about Saturday at eight?" Sora asked.

"A date?"

"More of a collision, at restaurant." Replied Sora.

"Do you want me to meet you?"

"I'll pick you up."

"I live in a giant T in the middle of the bay."

"In that case, why don't you meet me at 'Until Then'. Do you know where it is?"

"Of course"

"I'll see you then, Raven"

"Bye, Sora" Sora trotted away and Raven walked to the tree next to her friends.

"Raven," called Starfire, "How are you doing?"

"Surprisingly, I'm fine."

"I'm am overjoyed to hear that, would you care for some, as Robin puts it, stuff your faceingness."

"Umm...I'll come sit with you, if that's what you mean."

"Oh you will! You normally feast by your lonesome?"

"I'll come." Replied Raven. The two girls walked over to the rest of the team wearing smiles.

"Whoa!" exclaimed Beast boy, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," replied Raven, "Why?"

"You just don't normally smile." The remark was quickly followed by a sharp stingy slap, courtesy of Starfire.

"Your messed up." Giggled Raven. She pecked his cheek and went to the grill for some food.

"I tell ya," said Beast boy wiping his nails on his punk (purple or pink and black is punk) suit, "I just can't keep the ladies off me."

SLAP!!!

"What I do!"

"I wonder what has made friend Raven so joyful?" Thought Starfire aloud.

"I don't know," replied Robin, "I'm just happy she's not so pissed anymore.
