A/N: This was a stroke of genius I had while nodding off in English class. I started laughing when I thought of it, so humor me, read and tell me what you think!
Raven groaned tiredly. Her head hung limply, eyes shut tightly. Why was that pain throbbing through her head? Why was she sitting in a chair instead of lying down on her bed? And why the heck couldn't she move?
Slowly, Raven opened her eyes. Nothing, absolutely nothing, could have prepared her for the scene that met her gaze. Raven shook her head violently, shutting and reopening her eyes. There was just no way this was real.
Raven was stuck in a room that looked suspiciously like Titan Tower's basement. However, it was decorated in such a way that under different circumstances Raven might not have recognized it.
The walls were painted a sky blue, with white clouds connected by mini rainbows scattered to and fro. The floor was coated with a pink, fluffy carpet. Every corner of the room was piled with stuffed animals, mostly unicorns, teddy bears and bunny rabbits. The sound of birds chirping and children laughing came from a pink radio to her right. Posters hung in between the clouds on the walls, filled with images of sunflowers and strawberries, kittens, and more unicorns. Raven sweatdropped anime style, eyes wide and unbelieving.
Raven finally peeled her eyes of her surroundings to look down and was shocked at what she saw. She sat in a chair she recognized as belonging to Mad Mod's "Institute for Bratty Do-gooders". Her wrists and ankles were cuffed, and a swirl of white energy circled her small figure, preventing the use of any sort of black energy. She struggled fiercely, to no avail.
"Ah hah! You're finally awake!" echoed a voice across the room, it's source unknown. Raven stopped struggling. She looked around the lurid chamber, seeking the source of the voice. It sounded strangely like…
"Dude! I thought you'd never wake up! I knew I shouldn't have put so many sedatives in that tea of yours! Oh, well, time to get to business!"
Even as the person spoke, a huge, flat screen T.V began to rise from the ground until it towered over Raven. It was coated in the same pink, fluffy material as the carpet. The figure on the screen was none other than the team's changeling, Beast Boy.
Raven's jaw dropped. What the hell was going on? "Beast Boy! What are you doing, what is this?" Even as she looked at him, he seemed different. His usual toothy grin was in place, but it had a manic glint to it, as did his stare, and one of his wide eyes was twitching slightly. He stood prominently on the screen, rubbing his gloved hands together greedily. Raven fought fiercely against the bonds that held her.
"Don't bother," scoffed the changeling, waving his hand airily, looking away andraising his nose snootily in the air. "I 'borrowed' that chair from Mad Mod. It'll hold you," he added with an evil grin.
"Have you lost your mind? Let me go right now! Don't make me hurt you!" Raven shouted angrily. "Empty threats, Raven. You see," Beast Boy began to pace, "no matter what I do, I've never been able to get you to laugh. I've tried every joke in the book, spent countless nights watching stand-up comedies, researched every joke web page, and nothing. I can't tell you how many nights I've spent, drinking Coke and tearing out my hair," (Raven did notice bald spots on his head and soda stains on his uniform), "and still, not even a smile. So then I said to myself, 'It looks like this is it. I can never make Raven outwardly happy.'" Beast Boy paused for dramatic flare.
"And then it dawned on me. If you can't beat'em, make'em!" Beast Boy gestured toward the room. "So I've taken the liberty of creating this: the Chamber of Happiness!" Raven cringed at the bad name. She looked down again and noticed another pile of stuffed rabbits at her feet. A vein throbbed in her forehead; she was not amused.
"You must be joking. Do you honestly think I'm gonna laugh or smile at any of this?" "Either that or the alternative!" crowed Beast Boy. He raised his hand and a remote control appeared on the screen. "Either you laugh at one of my jokes and say I'm the funniest dude ever, or things will get cheerful!"
Raven smirked mockingly. "Do your worst." "Don't mind if I do!" exclaimed a triumphant looking Beast Boy. He pressed a button.
Immediately his image disappeared. Raven sweatdropped. Trust Beast Boy to mess up his own plan, she thought, rolling her eyes. Suddenly, she was distracted with a humming noise somewhere above her head. "Huh…?"
Two robot hands reached down and placed something on Raven's head. It felt like some sort of headband. Raven shook it fiercely, and two fluffy tips appeared in her line of vision.
Bunny ears, Raven thought. I'm going to kill Beast Boy…
The T.V. sprang to life again. Even before the image appeared, Raven recognized the dreaded tune floating out toward her recoiling ears. She paled even more than usual.
Gotta get up, I gotta get goin'
I'm gonna see a friend of mine
Raven struggled more than ever, thrashing about violently in her chair. She fought to raise her arms and kick her legs out. No one could be so cruel…
He's round and he's fuzzy
I love him because
He's just… Pooh Bear! Winnie the Pooh Bear!
Beads of sweat poured down Raven's forehead. Her strength was progressively dwindling. She turned her head away from the screen. Robotic hands produced by the chair forced her to look forward, forced her to keep her eyelids open.
And when we're alone and there's nobody home
It's nice to be able to count on a friend
Like…Pooh Bear, Winnie the Pooh Bear!
Wherever you go, oh won't you take me please
Pooh Bear, I gotta be there
It's me and it's you
Silly old Winnie the Pooh . . .
Raven gulped nervously. It looked like this was going to be a loooong day…
A/N: So, what do you think? Should I continue or let it drop? Ahh, I think I'd continue, even if nobody read it. But just to make me happy, please review!
