Disclaimer: I still don't own anything. Surprise surprise.

Yay! Another chapter. I got the idea for this one about a week ago very randomly. It seemed very cute at the time, but now I'm not so sure. Anyway, enjoy it regardless! Thank you so much for reading this story. Your reviews keep me going. I love you guys!

Please don't flame due to Raven's probable OOCness in this chapter. She has motivation; her friend is sad. Speaking of Raven, did 'Bunny Raven' scare anyone else? It was funny, though.

I'm so happy! I heard from my IM buddy Kid! I want to sing!

Beast Boy awoke the next morning to find that once again, he had fallen asleep on the sofa. He had fallen asleep sitting against the arm of the sofa. He looked around the room. He was surprised when he realized that the rest of the team were also on the sofa, still asleep. Cyborg was lying sprawled out over the end, Starfire was lying on her back with her head hanging over the edge and snoring softly, and Robin was asleep with his head resting on Star's stomach, an almost contented look on his face even in sleep at being near to her. That was three. But…where was Raven? Beast Boy was a bit puzzled as to where she might be, until he felt movement against him. Startled, he looked down and saw Raven sitting with her head resting on his shoulder, asleep. He was overcome by surprise at this awkward position she was in. Even though she was asleep, Beast Boy thought it was very unusual for Raven to allow herself to get close to anyone.

Raven shifted lightly in her sleep once more, and Beast Boy spent a moment looking at her. He had never really taken the time to do this before. Her short violet hair framed her pale face perfectly, and with her eyes closed, she looked almost peaceful. She felt warm against his side, and Beast Boy relished the feeling of comfort in having someone who cared being so near to him. He dropped his head back onto the back of the sofa and closed his eyes.

Beast Boy could feel a pair of eyes on him, and quickly opened his. Robin was sitting on the other end of the sofa. When he saw that Beast Boy was awake, he smiled.

"Hey, Beast Boy. Feeling better?" he asked.

Beast Boy shrugged. "Sorry…I'm not really. But I'm not feeling worse, either," he answered.

"At least there's that," Robin said. "Guess what? Cyborg's starting an…um.. 'super breakfast bonanaza', I think it was. There's quite a bit of tofu involved," he added with a grin.

"Uh, cool," Beast Boy said. He wanted to show enthusiasm, he really did, but something inside seemed to weigh him down. He was almost able to force a smile, but not quite.

"So, you're going to have some, right?" Robin asked.

"Uh…yeah, OK," Beast Boy answered him.

Robin grinned. "Great. I'm gonna go help Cyborg cook. I'll come and get you when it's ready, OK?"

BB nodded, and Robin stood up and walked toward the door, leaving Beast Boy with the sleeping Raven as it slid shut behind him. She was still sitting with her head resting on his shoulder. She looked so peaceful. Beast Boy assumed there had been a time when he too had been that serene in sleep.

Very suddenly, there was a slight movement, and Raven lifted her head from his shoulder. She looked at him, and then jumped backward a few feet, looking strangely like a frightened animal.

"Whoa, what's the matter?" Beast Boy asked. Raven shook her head. She paused for a moment.

"Feeling better?" she asked.

"Not really," BB answered truthfully, averting his eyes from her. Raven wanted to hit herself. He just looked so miserable. She wished there was something she could do. Suddenly, an evil smile crept across her face. "Uh, Raven?" BB asked. He really didn't like that look. Saying nothing, Raven reached out a hand and quickly tickled Beast Boy's armpit. He gave a squeal and shot backwards into the arm of the couch, looking at her in surprise. She was pretty surprised with herself, too, at how childish this was.

"Tickle fight!" she called childishly, attacking him again. "What's the matter, too weak to fight back?" she asked with another evil grin, her hand shooting out and tickling his stomach. He giggled loudly and tried to escape. Raven wasn't giving up quite that easily, she followed him and gave his side a squeeze. At this, he completely exploded in a fit of giggles, slumping onto his back. "Aha! I've discovered your weak spot!" Raven said. She launched herself on him and started tickling both of his sides at once. His laughter increased, his hands attempting to push her away, but he was weak from how hard he was laughing. He squirmed underneath her in a vain attempt to end the tickling.

And then a green gorilla leaped forward and forced her off, landing on her as it changed back into the form of the small green changeling. The tables were turned. Raven realized this before Beast Boy started tickling her under the arms. She tried to hold back, she really did. She didn't want anything to explode right now. But the truth was, she really couldn't help it. It only took about ten seconds of this before she burst into laughter, starting to writhe around in attempt to escape. To her surprise, nothing exploded, and after a moment of the absence of banging noises, she allowed herself to keep laughing. Beast Boy refused to relent.

Raven was laughing very hard. This made the color rush into her face, and she looked very funny indeed. Beast Boy started chuckling softly, and then started laughing fully as her expression became more and more purposely exaggerated. She seized this opportunity to reach up and tickle his sides again, his secret weakness in this battle. He laughed harder (BB has such a cute giggle! Eep. Sorry), collapsing on her. She rolled sideways, forcing him off of the sofa and onto the floor, where once again she had the upper hand. She attacked with a vengeance, and Beast Boy was laughing so hard by now that tears were starting to leak out of his eyes. He fought back, tickling her stomach, which caused her to lose control completely, and BB flipped over so they were both on their sides.

This was a fair fight now, the two of them lying on the carpet, neither with the advantage. They were both laughing extremely hard, and this went on for a few minutes before the tickling ended and they just lay there, though their laughter did not cease for a few minutes. They both sat up.

"Well, that was extremely immature of me," Raven said. BB nodded.

"But it's OK to be immature sometimes, even for you," he said with a hint of laughter still in his voice.

"Wow. Beast Boy, you're actually smiling," Raven said. It was true. Beast Boy's once familiar toothy grin now stared at her from a face that had looked so desolate for so long, and it was quite a contrast. "I'm glad," she added, smiling back.

"Thanks, Rae. I didn't think I was ever going to laugh again," he said. Raven nodded, now feeling a bit embarrassed as the fact that she had just started a tickle fight willingly fully sunk in. BB giggled slightly. "Wow. You, starting a tickle fight. Wait until I tell Cyborg," he said.

Raven was about to tell him that he had better not say a word if he wanted to wake up tomorrow with all of his limbs attached, but realized that she didn't really care. This teenager who sat in front of her was almost the normal Beast Boy. Almost. There was still something dismal deep in his eyes, but at the moment they were twinkling, and she couldn't bring herself to ruin that.

"I need some herbal tea," she said instead, picking herself up off of the floor and brushing carpet fuzz from her leotard and cloak with as much dignity as she could, heading to the kitchen with Beast Boy close behind.
