ACT TWO

Beast Boy woke up with a start.

It was night, and he was lying sprawled face-down on the roof of the Tower - the ground of which has apparently been covered with red carpet. Slowly, the quiet sounds of a tide washing in and out could be heard, and a very faint glow of orange seemed to reflect off his front. He came to and groaned, slowly lifting his head up. Then a gloved hand reaches down.

"You okay, there, BB? You had another one of those dizzy spells."

Beast Boy groaned groggily. "Huh? Raven?" He looked up. "What-"

DOING! His eyes bugged out at the sight that greeted him:

Raven.

was.

wearing.

a.

DRESS.

And she looked absolutely stunning.

"Whoah...dress...wha-" was all that Beast Boy could produce.

"You asked me out on a date, right, BB?"

Her words turned into a newspaper, which flashed the word "NEWS" three times with accompanying buzzer sound, then rolled up and smacked him in the face. He stopped his head from wobbling. "I did?"

"Mhmm."

"Why don't I remember that?"

"We were in the middle of dancing and you had another one of those dizzy spells again. You fell flat on your face."

"Dizzy spells?"

"You whacked your head against mine pretty hard when that first explosion in that battle against The Production Crew happened. You've been having dizzy spells ever since."

"But - The Production Crew - The Writer - The Cameraman - we were trapped in the –"

"We beat em, B. Stop worrying, ok?"

"Am I like this after all my dizzy spells?"

"Actually, yeah. It's like you can only remember things up to the dizzy spells."

"So how many times have we been on this date?"

Raven smiled warmly at him, with just a hint of a smirk. "It's only been two days, BB. You woke up in the infirmary, and as soon as the others left, you asked me out on a date. You even got me a Jasmine flower to let me know you weren't joking."

"You stayed in the infirmary with me?"

"Of course. I was worried about you, B. I just wanted you to wake up."

Beast Boy was still trying to process everything. "Soooo, wanna dance again?"

"Why don't we eat instead? That meal you cooked is already getting cold."

Beast Boy looked over. That faint orange glow he had seen earlier was coming from a candlelit table behind them, food already on the plates. "Um, okay."

They ate. Raven was particularly interested in one dish. "Wow, BB. I don't know what this is," she said, swallowing a bite. "But you really hit your mark with it."

Beast Boy blushed. "Heh, thanks, Raven."

They finished eating. Beast Boy got up and extended his hand. "Care to dance?"

Raven hesitated, then took his hand. They walked over to another spot on the roof and started dancing in a slow circle. "I want to thank you, BB. You've been there even when I haven't wanted you to be. You've helped me learn about how to express my emotions without losing control of my powers. I never really paid attention to it much, until that morning at the park two days ago."

She stopped dancing and looked out at the moon. "This night - you picked it so wonderfully, Beast Boy." She sat down on the edge of the Tower. Beast Boy sat beside her. She leaned her head on his shoulder. He jumped in suprise at first, but regained himself and put his hand across her head, running his fingers through her hair, slowly. Raven sighed. "Isn't the moon beautiful, B?"

Behind them, a large boulder floated up past the height of the Tower and high into the sky until it was lost in the ink of the night. Neither noticed. Raven just looked at Beast Boy. "The clouds parted at just the perfect time."

"Yeah, perfect timing." Beast Boy got up. "I gotta go get somethin'."

He suddenly ran back into the Tower, like he was frightened.

Raven was startled.

"Beast Boy, wait! Where are you going? Come back!"

She started to lunged after him, her hand outstretched--

--only to be yanked backwards by a green hand just as the large boulder slammed down onto the spot where she had just been! Suddenly, as if on cue, the whole scenery - the Tower, the sky, the Moon, the city - all of it faded. Her dress was gone, too – she was back in her normal outfit. She looked behind her to see who rescued her. Beast Boy was looking at her like she failed to answer "What's 2+2?" correctly.

"It was an illusion, Raven! The Production Crew's playing tricks with us! How could you let yourself fall for that?"

Raven was stunned. "None of it happened? You mean - it was all just –"

"-special effects?" cut in Beast Boy. "YES!"

Raven looked at him, her eyes trembling. He didn't get it.

"What?"

She suddenly bear hugged him, tears flowing. "You saved me..."

But he angrily threw her hands off of him. "From yourself! Will you snap out of it, Raven? I saved you from yourself!"

"How did you know it was a trick, BB?"

"I woke up after we got sucked into the camera and saw you wearing a dress! I knew instantly that it wasn't real! We're still stuck in that film camera!"

This was a stunning shock to Raven. She tried to digest that.

"Yes, my stars - you're still in the camera! Oh, this is so much fun!"

Raven and Beast Boy could not pinpoint the source of the voice.

Then a man appeared, perched at a ninety-degree angle to the - wall? - above them.

"While your friends are being taken care of by my crew, prepare to fight:"

As with The Writer, The Director, and The Cameraman, the man jumped into the air to introduce himself.

"THE PRODUCER!"

Raven coiled some dark energy around her fists.

"Oh, this should be fun..."
