Hiya peoples!
Chapter 9. Wow, I never really expected to get this far. I expected 2 chapters, maybe 3. Anyway, I will be having only 2 more chapters. Thanks to all my reviewers. Sorry but I won't be able to update in a couple of weeks. You know summer vacation. Sorry.
Enjoy!
Raven stared into the lake of Jump City. And just as she expected there sat her reflection staring right back at her. But she saw something more.
There was a girl. A girl that couldn't show emotion.
Raven sighed. She just wanted to be normal. But to her friends, they thought that she was normal.
Look at me,
You may think you see
Who I
really am,
But you'll never know me.
She looked up from her mirror image and watched the rest of the team. They were playing the weekly 'super' football game. It was usual teams. Robin and Cyborg versus Beastboy and Starfire. And Raven? Raven was the referee, of course. Although she wasn't doing a very good job at it.
Everyday,
it's as if I play
A part.
"Raven! That was a foul! Cyborg just face-masked me!" Beastboy complained.
"You don't even have a helmet on! And with that big head of yours, what else was I supposed to tackle!"
Raven sighed, ignoring their comments. It was just a stupid game after all.
"Having fun?" Robin sat next to her.
"Yeah, great," she answered watching Cyborg tackle Beastboy in cheetah form. "Just great."
She was doing it again. Hiding her true self. Hiding what she was really thinking. Raven turned back to the water.
Now I see,
If I wear a mask,
I can
fool the world,
but I cannot fool my heart.
"What do you see?"
It was a simple question yet Raven had a hard time answering it.
"I see…" Raven rolled her eyes, "just a person in a purple cloak."
Who is that girl I see?
Staring straight,
Back at
me.
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
Robin pushed her a little closer to the water.
"What do you really see?"
"A teenager, with a hood, dark, mysterious, hiding anything that makes her human," she replied wretchedly. Raven splashed the reflection away but it came back as pitiful as before.
I am now,
In a world
Where I have to
hide in my heart,
and what I believe in.
Robin, against Raven's will, pulled off her hood.
"Look harder," he imitated and leaned Raven closer to the water.
She smirked. "Seen Lion King lately?"
"Hey, I thought you haven't seen Disney movies."
"Everyone's seen the Lion King."
But somehow,
I will show the world what's
inside my heart,
And be loved for who I am.
"So, what do you see?"
Raven, inches from the water, furrowed her brow in concentration.
"I don't know."
Who is that girl I see,
staring
straight
back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't
know?
Robin's gaze pierced the back of her head.
He leaned his face next to hers. "You know what I see?" he whispered in her ear.
"What?" Her voice was almost silent.
Must I pretend that I'm
someone else
for
all time.
When will my reflection show,
who I am inside?
"I see a perfect girl, but…she's hiding a big secret. And now…" He paused.
"Now what?"
"Now she's all wet."
With that he pushed her in.
There's a heart that must be free
to
fly
That burns with a need to know
the reason why
Shocked, Raven fell into the ice water face first.
"Robin! You are so dead!"
He laughed in response.
Scooping up a handful of mud, Raven hurled it at Robin.
Why
must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel?
Her aim was true for she hit him right in the face.
"Ah my eye!"
Raven stepped out of the water.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah," he dropped his act, "I have a mask."
Robin lunged forward and tackled her to the ground.
He expected an angry expression on her face but what Robin saw, astonished him beyond belief.
She was laughing…
Must
there be
a secret me
I'm forced to hide
I won't pretend that
I'm
someone else
for all time.
"What's so funny?"
Raven continued to laugh.
"Is she ok?" Beastboy, Starfire and Cyborg had walked over and were looking at Raven like she was crazy.
"I don't know."
Raven grabbed another ball of mud and slapped it in Robin's face. Then she rolled over and pushed him into the water.
Robin appeared from under the water gasping for breath while Raven was choking with laughter.
Suddenly, a nearby tree uplifted from its roots and hovered in the air.
Raven's laughter abruptly stopped.
She muttered her familiar chant and the tree slowly settled down to the ground.
"Cyborg?" Beastboy pulled the wide-eyed robot's arm, "I'm scared."
"Me too. Me too."
"Raven? Are you alright?" Robin put a wet gloved, hand on her shoulder.
"I'll be fine," she muttered and started to walk away.
"Raven?"
She stopped. "What."
"Your laughter…was it real? Or was it just your emotions playing tricks?"
When
will my reflection show
who I am inside?
Raven smiled. There was at least on thing she didn't have to make up.
"Yeah, it was real."
A/N: Hope you liked. I actually got Raven to laugh in this one. Again, sorry I won't be able to update in a couple of weeks. Another thing, (disclaimer) Don't own, don't care so stop making me depressed.
For all you Disney freaks like me…
Look at me,
You may
think you see
Who I really am,
But you'll never know
me.
Everyday,
it's as if I play
A part.
Now I
see,
If I wear a mask,
I can fool the world,
but I cannot
fool my heart.
Chorus:
Who is that girl I see?
Staring
straight,
Back at me.
When will my reflection show
Who I am
inside?
I am now,
In a world
Where I have to hide in my
heart,
and what I believe in.
But somehow,
I will show
the world what's inside my heart,
And be loved for who I am.
Who
is that girl I see,
staring straight
back at me?
Why is my
reflection someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that
I'm
someone else
for all time.
When will my reflection
show,
who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be free
to
fly
That burns with a need to know
the reason why
Why
must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel?
Must
there be
a secret me
I'm forced to hide
I won't pretend that
I'm
someone else
for all time.
When will my reflection
show
who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
who I
am inside?
oh, ooh yeah
For all my faithful reviewers…
K. C. Whitestar: It was fun writing it. The songs are kinda hard to chose but I think that one was pretty good.
Moo: Me too. I saw it in band. (Yes I am a bando) But lucky for me I do own Tarzan, but not Hercules so I'm nor happy nor sad. Just neutral.
SOFO: Ah! Stalker! Sorry but I only have two more chapters left.
Azerathangle: Well here's the next one. Hope you like this one two.
Andrea10: Yay! Another Disney freak like me. And yes I do have that font on my computer. It is awesome. I would write some down on here but it doesn't show up on FF. Darn. Sorry I wont be able to update in a couple of weeks though.
BlackGothFearie: Um…It kinda depends when they come on. For me, it comes on at 3:00pm and 7:00pm. but I have satellite. For cable it come on at 6:00pm and 10:00pm. That's during the week. On Saturdays it comes on, I think, at 9:00am, 3:00pm, 4:00pm, and a new episode comes on at 5:00pm. But I'm not really sure when it comes on Kids WB but I think they have it on their website. Hope it helped. Glad you can have stories with the lyrics. Tell me when you get them on so I can read them.
Ainominako: shivers I will never, ever do that song. I went to Disneyland recently and my friends made me go on it 8 times. 8 TIMES! Those little dolls are scary.
TT: …um…oook, right, the Muses. :)
Blaze83: Ahhhh! Not the pencils! Anything but the pencils! But I can't update sooner! I'm going on vacation for two weeks! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. I like superhero movies with real people too. Sorry I wont be able to update sooner! Now I'm going to have go through my whole vacation regretting it. lol
Tecna: Aw, thanks. Sorry I usually update every week, but it take me a whole week to write the sorry because I have like a billion writers blocks.
Solitaire parker: You haven't seen it? It's like the most awsomest episode ever. You should go on Worlds Finest Teen Titans and they have the reviews and pictures too. Raven totally kicks Slade's but at the end! It has some Robrae parts but raven spends moost of her time separated from her team. Godbless!
Lunafan: Thanks. Terribly sorry. I tried to make a chapter with that song but its REALLY hard because Raven isn't underwater and she doesn't have so much stuff like Ariel does and she doesn't have fins, or is a mermaid. Sorry. I tried though. Glad you reviewed and hope you like the rest of the chapters!
Half demon girl: Yeah, I'll read yours. I know I don't have to have songs for every chapter but I am running out of ideas too. Sorry. But there are two more chapters after this!
Pureangle86: I would but I am already ending he story. I did also try that one but it seemed a lot like other chapters in the story.
Laura: Thanks. Sorry I wont be able to update in a couple weeks.
Cutie: Awesome! I wish I had an ipod. But I'm saving up all money to buy Disney. in other words, I'm broke
Kali Donovan: …um right. This one's Mulan! To true, they can't deny it. But I almost cried when I saw Stranded. How could he do that! He didn't even really say it! You'll see
Raven Ariana: Thanks. Cyborg is that kind of guy. She couldn't obviously tell Beastboy, or all the BBRae shippers would have a fit. So Cyborg seems like a good person to tell. Glad I made you laugh, and thanks for reviewing!
Chica De Los Ojos café: There's a really obvious hint to what is next. Actually it's the only other Disney movie besides Mulan. hint hint
They call me Sweetsnow: Blank? …sweet. Sorry, but some people I know take things personally. I'm glad your not one of them! Glad you liked!
Evilsangle: You know…I think you are a Disney fan at heart, ut you just don't want to admit it! Sorry I cant update for a few weeks.
Rubianca: well, glad you enjoyed it. Hope you like the next chapter.
