Chapter 2: The White Rose

Raven walked slowly to the white rose and the note that lay beside it. She carefully picked up the rose and lifted it to her nose and took a deep breath. But it wasn't what she expected, instead of a sweet rose smell, it smelled like BB. She started to cough, after she was done clearing her lungs, she started to slightly laugh. Then she remembered the note. She read it as follows:

Opposite as day and night

You're filled with courage and with might,

I am insecure and full of worry,

As I hope that you will hurry,

Into my wide opened arms.

As you're unaware of your many charms,

That all make my legs weak,

And my heart so filled with love that it leaks.

You have no idea of how I really feel,

And I know it's for real,

So take this white rose on the bed not as a quiz,

But to show of how pure my love really is.

Raven's heart skipped a beat, as she thought " Awwh… how sweet." ( A/N: I am still in the rhyming mode I guess ;) ) She thought of the last two lines, of how not to take the rose as a quiz and take it as a symbol of how pure his love is.

"Well at least he knows I'll probably be thinking about who they are, so he is telling me to relax. And I do remember now that the white rose also stands for purity, but it also stands for humility and youthfulness. I guess all signs lead to Beast Boy. Wow. That's a shocker." Raven thought. But somehow she didn't feel shocked, she felt oddly happy. That was until the light in BB's room exploded.

She didn't know what to think and what to do if she saw Beast Boy. So she went to the only person in the Tower who she could try to get some advice from. Raven picked up the poem and held it in her left hand with the white rose, and flew out of BB's room. She stopped directly in front of the room marked STARFIRE. Raven thought Star might be in her room, and since it was closest she'd try it first.

"Star, are you in there? I need to talk to you." Raven asked knocking on the door. She heard another giggle this one coming from inside the room. Raven slowly opened the door to see Starfire on the floor giggling.

"Uhh.. Starfire… are you OK?"

"Oh! Yes Friend Raven I am most well! What was it that you needed to get my opinion on?" Starfire asked sitting up and motioning Raven to sit down next to her. Raven walked in and shut the door behind her, she sat in the air next to Star who then did the same.

"Have you any idea about the rose game that's going on?" Raven asked sternly.

"I've seen you've found another. Where may I ask did you find this white rose?" Star asked looking puzzled at the rose and the paper.

"In Beast Boy's room." Raven answered, and Star giggled once again. "That's not the point!" Raven said getting irritated. "I just want to know if it's Beast Boy or not!" Raven said as she stormed out of Stars room and straight into her own. Starfire was still in the air giggling. A green teen came out of Star's closet, he looked calm.

"You think she has any idea?" he asked walking up to Star.

"Friend Beast Boy, she has absolutely no idea what so ever!" she continued to say in between giggles. BB joined in soon after.

After meditating for an hour, Raven went to the kitchen for some herbal tea. As she entered the common room it was eerily quiet. No one was playing a video game, no one was arguing, no one was in sight. The only other thing missing was a tumbleweed blowing by. Raven continued to walk over to the counter and casually opened her herbal tea cabinet. Out of the cabinet fell a single peach colored rose?
