CHAPTER 4: Finding the Beat
Raven ran a hand through her dark hair. Why do I think of him? It's not like I care... or do I? OH none of this makes sense! "But I know where I can find out." Raven got out of bed and walked over to her mirror. There was a sudden rush of wind as she was pulled into the depths of her own mind, Nevermore.
Meanwhile...
Beast Boy sat on the couch working on his lyrics again. As he concentrated on the rythm, Robin began playing bass guitar. Cyborg tapped lightly on the cymbols of his drums, almost impossible to hear.
Starfire sat on floor in front of Robin, staring in awe at his awsome talent with the strings. Every time he would play the simplest note, Star would stand and clap like he was performing a song of great difficulty.
A/N. Sorry to interupt again but I just want to get one thing clear. I HATE STARFIRE! Don't know why, maybe it's because she reminds me of some people I wish didn't exist. So in my stories unless they are RobxStar (never gonna write about that) Starfire will not be a major character if I can get away with it. Oh and if the BBxRae thing doesn't work, I'll probably convert to RaexRob. I have my own version of "7days, 7 dates." If you like my story you should read this one. Or "Stage Fright" by Bold Achellies. Sorry to interupt. LATERZ/A/N
Robin took the guitar strap off shoulder, and laid the guitar on the edge of the couch.
"Beast Boy, are you really going to tell her like this? I mean wouldn't it be easier to just tell her." On the condition that everyone would stay quiet, Cy had BB tell Robin and Starfire.
The song was finished now, and they were working on finding some where to play. Holding up a piece of paper that was covered with illegible markings, Robin got off the couch and walked over to the window overlooking the bay.
"We've hit up every place in town. Almost every where's booked, except this one place; the Pit of Despair." Robin chuckled. "Lovely."
"But isn't the only open time tomorrow night?" Beast Boy now stood at the edge of the couch, gently placing his guitar back into it's case. "Do you think we'll be ready in time?"
Cyborg smiled. "Dude we've BEEN ready. Just not you. It's like telling Raven how you feel is the most nerve racking thing you will ever experience! JUST RELAX MAN!"
"Yes friend Beast Boy. Raven will be most impressed by this show of emotion that boys normally are too, what's the word? Thick headed?" Starfire's words didn't comfort the green titan. They only made him more nervous. He still had to ask her to come with them tomorrow night to the Pit of Despair. It sounded like the kind of place Raven would hang out at.
Beast Boy turned towards the door, and took a deep breath. And without another word he walked straight up to Raven's room and pounded on the door.
Raven's Room
Raven landed in a field of flowers. She was puzzled. This was not the Nevermore that she knew.
"What's going on?" Raven asked looking around. It was sunny, and cheerful.
"Things are changing Raven." a voice rang through the empty space. Turning around quickly, Rae looked for the source of the voice. A yellow cape appeared from behind a tree just in front of her.
"Things are changing Raven," Knowledge said again. "And no one can figure out just quite why."
Raven was still confused. "What do you mean? Nothing has changed." Although what she said seemed the reality, it was far from it. This feeling in the pit of her stomach told her otherwise.
Knowledge chuckled to herself. "Everything's changed. Especially with the others."
In Raven's Room
Beast Boy stood next to the mirror covered in a swirling black aura. Five guesses where Rae is. Without fear or much regard for his own safety, he stepped into the mirror. A rush of wind ruffled his hair.
Just remember what you're here to do. Just ask her to go tomorrow night and if need be, beg. Beast Boy landed in the same patch of flowers that Raven had only minutes before, when she left with Knowledge to talk to the rest of her emotions. A rattling came from behind him, and as he turned a red cloaked version of the dark empath glared at him through iron bars.
"Hello Beast Boy." Rage said. She smiled at him.
"You shouldn't be here." Her face returned to the normal scowl. Why can't I be rude? And why am I not angry? None of this makes any sense! Rage tried to act like she wasn't feeling any different but she kept smiling.
"Are you okay? I mean you're acting like you're happy to see me."
Rage couldn't stop herself from saying it. "I am."
Dude, this is beyond weird. I gotta get Outta here.
"Well I'm going to go find Raven. Uhh bye!" and with that Beast Boy took off further into Raven's mind.
Raven stood at the end of a long table, and seated in each chair in front of her were all of her emotions. (minus rage duh!)
"Okay, I want to know why everything in my mind has changed. And why am I feeling happy all the time, yet not losing control?" She searched the others for any answers.
Wisdom shook her head and added "Raven, you already know. None of us can help you figure this one out its something only you can do for yourself." Before Raven could reply all the others were gone. Except one, dressed in gold.
"Wait, who are you?" This was not someone she knew. The golden Raven stood up, and smiled.
"I am love."
Beast Boy kept running, he had to get away from Rage. She was acting weirder than he remembered.
"Beast Boy, what are you doing here?" another monotone voice rang out. Figuring that he was in trouble, he cringed. But when he looked it was not the real Rae. It was only Wisdom.
"Oh, uh hi. I just came to talk to Raven and…" Wisdom cut him off.
"She's down there." she added pointing towards the path she had just come from. Then she vanished. Beast Boy took off at a dead run. But a pink blur blind sided him.
"Ouch!"
"SORRY! I was just looking for….Beast Boy?" Happy giggled uncontrollably.
"Look it's nice to see you but I'm kinda looking for, RAVEN!" Pulling himself off the ground BB ran over to Raven who was now walking down the path.
She was shocked to see him there in Nevermore.
"What are you doing here?" Raven crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Uh I came to ask you if you wanted to go to the Pit of Despair tomorrow night. The guys and I are going to be playing. And I really want you to be there."
"I'll uh… think about it."
"Why Raven? You think about him all the time. We all do. It's like you" Raven slapped a hand over Happy's mouth. Not a WORD! Raven yelled at her telepathically.
"Fine I'll go. Now leave Beast Boy." Raven became consumed in black and reappeared in her room.
BB quickly followed her out. And then he literally ran from her room. He had to alter some lyrics.
