Moo asked a question and I'm going to answer it where everyone can read it.
Q. Why is Raven following Beast Boy everywhere?
A. She's subconsciously worried about him. Her body's following him, even when she doesn't want too… HEHEHE I'm taking over her brain!
AN. About an hour after the last one. I don't own Teen Titans or The Sims 2, but if the owners of either want to sell them to me I have (clangs like sword fighting from the background) a cup, a hair-tie and a bouncy ball.
Answer to Poll
I say: Yeah… It would make as much sense as a passionate admittance of love between Beast Boy and Raven (damn writers)…
My sister says: Probably
Chapter Four
Beast Boy sat at his desk, trying to find the 'ON' switch for his computer. He found a large button and pressed it, then wailed aloud when nothing happened.
"Damn computer," he said angrily, hitting the desk. "Why won't you work?" The computer made a loud whirring noise and he smiled triumphantly. "That's better." He sat still while it booted up, then stopped. "Why did I open this?" he asked himself. "I can't use it." He pressed the large button again and walked over to his bed. The computer whirred again and he sat down. "This is so boring. I can't do anything." He flopped back, his arms out. He bounced slightly, then settled. He lay like that for five minutes, thinking his situation over.
They don't need me, he realised suddenly. I'm useless to the team. He sat up. I'd better leave. They'll be happier without me. He stood up and found his stick. Then he left his room quietly, walking down the corridor. Unfortunately, he tripped on something. He fell to the ground with a crash, landing on his hands and knees. A door to his left opened and he turned his head towards it.
"Beast Boy?"
Oh crap, he thought. Raven.
"What are you doing?"
"The team doesn't need me, I'm leaving."
She sighed loudly.
"Come on," she said. Cool hands slipped under his armpits and lifted him to his feet. He tried to walk back down the hallway to his room, but she pulled him to the left. The smell of lavender increased and he frowned. She supported him across the room and sat him down on a soft cushion.
"Where am I?" he asked, knowing the answer but wanting to hear her say it anyway.
"My room," she said. It sounded like she was smiling, but that was probably just wishful thinking. "Did you hurt yourself?"
"No. I'm like a cat." He growled like an animal and morphed into a kitten, the glasses balanced on his nose, and rubbed her leg gently. She picked him up. He smiled. Her finger brushed under his chin and he purred suddenly. She laughed quietly, the sound quickly covered by something breaking. She sighed again, putting him back on the couch.
"Just wait." Her weight left the couch and he morphed back into himself quickly.
"What broke?"
"Just a vase, don't worry." There was a clattering while she picked up the shattered pieces. Then a louder crash as she put them in the bin. After a moment of silence, the couch dipped again. "Did you think you could just leave?"
"I'm useless to the team. Look at me. I can't fight anyone. I can't protect anyone. This is screwed up." Her hand landed on his shoulder.
"When Robin broke his arm, was he useless? When Star was down after Blackfire, was she useless? When Cyborg ran out of power, was he useless?" Her other hand landed on his other shoulder, and she shook him slightly. "Don't you get it? You'll learn how to cope. If I can learn to deal with my emotions, you can deal with this."
"But this is a physical impairment," Beast Boy said, shocked how close the statement sounded to a whine.
"You don't consider Happy as a physical impairment?" Raven asked. He sat shocked for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"You made a joke," he said disbelievingly through his laughter. "I don't believe it. And it wasn't insulting me." She sat there silently until his laughter petered out. He wiped his eyes. "I don't mind Happy," he said thoughtfully. "She laughs at my jokes."
Raven raised an eyebrow. It was the same thing he had liked about Terra.
"Do you like her better then my other emotions?" His cheeks turned red under the frames of the glasses.
"I can't say I prefer any of your emotions," he said slowly, carefully. "In the end, they're all just an extension of you." She blushed slightly and one of the fragments in the bin broke. She never knew he could be so articulated.
"You mean you like them all?"
"Yeah."
"Even the ones you haven't met?"
"Yeah."
"Even Rage?"
There was a pause.
"Yeah. Even Rage."
Raven sat back, slightly shocked. "You really mean it."
"Of course." He smiled serenely. "She's just you with major anger management issues."
"I guess so." She smiled shakily. "I never thought anyone would like Rage."
"Someone's got to." He shrugged. "Tell her for me, will you? I think she's in more pain then she lets on. It can't be easy being hated."
"I will." She smiled slightly. "What you're saying actually makes sense."
"Thanks." His smile turned to a grin that spread from ear to ear. "You complimented me. I'm in your room. You're starting to change Raven."
"Am I?" She was honestly surprised.
"Yeah. I mean. I remember when you wouldn't talk at all. When you only came out of here to eat and kick butt. And even then, you were distant. I like this Raven better." He put one hand out and it landed directly on her cheek. She smiled slightly and he grinned back. "That's more like it."
The next movement she did without thinking, sort of like Beast Boy's kiss. She nuzzled slightly into his hand. His grin turned to a look of shock. She pulled herself away from him, mortified. When she blinked, pale pinkish orange flashed.
Embarrassment, she scolded in her head. Go away.
No, the blushing emotion said. You nuzzled him. We'll never live this down.
"Get out," she said aloud. Beast Boy looked hurt.
"I'm sorry," he said quietly.
"Not you," she said. "It's Embarrassment, she's bugging me."
"You have an emotion called Embarrassment?"
"Yes." Raven closed her eyes and sent the emotion back to her mirror.
"Hey Raven," Beast Boy said, a sly smile on his face. "This might be changing the subject a little, but do you want to play a game?"
"Is it Crash?" she asked, a little apprehensive to play the orange marsupial again.
"Nope. It's far more unpredictable." He grinned evilly.
"Alright," she said, desperate to make him happy.
"Great." He stood up suddenly, pulling her to her feet. "To my room!" He mimed galloping out of the room, leaving Raven to float behind him quietly. When he got to where he thought his room was, he stopped.
"Um… Beast Boy?" Raven said gently, staring at the door to his room, some 10 meters down the corridor. He stuck his hand out and run his finger over the hard metal of the wall.
"Oh," he said. "I knew that." He walked the rest of the way to his room, then pressed the button.
She followed him inside and landed delicately next to him when he sat at the desk. He scrabbled for the button again, finding it after a minute struggle. The computer booted up slowly. While he was waiting, he turned to her and grinned. He pulled out a box that looked like two PlayStation2 game cases put together.
"Raven, meet The Sims 2." She stared at the picture on the cover.
He paused at her silence.
"Don't you want to play?" he said, hurt.
"What's this?" The case was taken from his outstretched hand.
"Sims 2. One of the most popular simulation games ever."
"You mean… making families?" He could almost hear the sarcasm in her voice. "I never thought you'd be into this type of thing."
"I like making families," he said indignantly, his cheeks burning. "Take out disk 1."
There was a clack and she pushed a cold disk into his hand. He pushed the button that opened the disk drive and put the disk in, careful to make it the right way round. There was a quiet whir as the computer
Then a terrible thought struck him. (AN. This is something that's freaked me out just a little…) What if Raven went into his neighbourhood and found his family. The one that had two teenagers, the boy that had a purple and black suit, green hair and eyes and the girl that had the dark navy leotard, purple hair and the deep violet eyes. The tinkling music behind him signalled that the game had loaded up. He stood up and she sat down.
"Press the arrow on the side," he said, pointing to where he thought it was on the screen.
"Why don't I just go into Plesantview?" she asked.
"Because I think it'll be better if you make your own neighbourhood," he said quickly, trying not to blush again.
"Alright," she said and he relaxed.
"Ok. Click the button that has four nearly transparent houses and a plus." There was a click. "Now pick what sort of neighbourhood you want. If you pick a desert one, you can make it lush so don't worry."
"I picked the Pleasantview setting," she said. "I want to see what it looks like."
"Desert or lush?" he asked.
"Lush. It looks better." There was a brief period of tinkling music while it loaded. Then it levelled out to deeper, nicer tones.
"Press the make family button. It's got people on it." She pressed it, then started to figure it out for herself. She told him what she was doing.
"Oh my god," she said in shock after a moment.
"What? Is the game malfunctioning?" He leaned forward slightly.
"No. You can get my hair. And yours. And Starfires. And Robins. And Cyborgs. You can get our costumes." The chair beneath her creaked. "How did you get that?"
"Um… Cyborg did it for me. He made them on his computer and uploaded them."
"Ok." There were some more clicks, magnified by the games soundtrack. "I'm making us."
"Cool. You can even make the tower. It's another thing Cyborg did for me." He put on hand on her shoulder, feeling her silky hair brush his hand. It waved slightly as she nodded.
"I'll make Cyborg first, he's the oldest."
"You're making us as teens, right?"
"Yeah."
"Then make some strange adults first. Every teen, child and toddler needs a parent. But as teens, the adults can move out."
"What should our last names be?"
"Teen Titans? Yeah… That would be good."
"Alright." She sounded a little apprehensive. After 15 minutes she had finished the family. Ten minutes later, she had moved them in. All the while she said exactly what she was doing.
"How's it going?" Beast Boy asked a little while later.
"Robin and Starfire are flirting like crazy, Cyborg's studying up on mechanical, I'm reading and you're trying to tell me jokes."
"Wow. So like life."
"Except these fall to my feet," Raven said.
She watched as the green Beast Boy on screen stood in front of her, the 'Tell Joke' icon popping up every moment. She smiled and cancelled her reading icon. The Raven sim stood up and put the book in the bookshelf. Then Beast Boy came up behind her and started talking Simlish. To Ravens surprise, her sim laughed.
"I laughed at your joke," she said softy. Beast Boy grinned.
"I knew you liked my jokes," he said triumphantly. "Sims never lie." He jumped around his room, waving his hands in the air. Then he hit his knee on the bed and stopped dancing. "Ow," he said stupidly. Raven stifled a laugh and put in another flirt option with Robin and Starfire. Then she worked to make Beast Boy and Cyborg best friends. But the green sim just kept bugging her sim.
"You won't leave me alone," she said.
"Now that's not fair," Beast Boy said, pouting. "You're the one in my room."
"I mean in the game. You just keep telling me jokes." She clicked on Cyborg and tried to make him bug Beast Boy. Then she turned to look at the green superhero. He was smiling.
"Like I said, it's like life. Look at the relationship panel."
She clicked on the relationship. Every single one of the titans were best friends. 100 daily and 100 lifetime.
"We are friends," she said softly. "Best friends."
"Look at Star and Robin," Beast Boy said, walking back to stand next to her. She clicked on Robin and nearly laughed again. Next to the double smiley face that indicated best friends, was a tiny pink heart. When she put the mouse over it, it came up with a tiny text box that said 'Crush'. "You can deepen that to love if you try hard enough."
"Really?" Raven asked, smiling. She clicked on Starfire and then right-clicked Robin. Then she selected the choice 'Flirt', then 'Hold Hands'. Starfire walked up to the spiky haired sim and took his hands slowly, swaying them back and forth.
Raven smiled slightly, then clicked on Beast Boy. What she saw wiped the smile from her face. On the relationship panel there was pictures of the other four titans. Just like with Robin, next to the double smiley face there was a pink heart. She looked closer and realised it was actually a red heart. She waved the mouse over it and a text box came up with 'Love'. She clicked. Up popped a text box, with a picture of the sim in it.
'I adore this sim,' it said. 'I hope she feels the same way. Could this be true simulated love?'
Trembling, she clicked on the girl involved. It had almost the same message, only with Beast Boy's picture in it. She clicked back on Beast Boy and stared at the picture.
The picture of her.
POLL!
Will Raven and Beast Boy eventually get together? (not in the story, on the show)
I also want to promote a fabulous movie. It's called Madagascar and when the DVD comes out I'm getting it no matter how much it costs. And Sacha what-ever-his-name-is aka Ali G did a great job with Julian the Third self-proclaimed leader of the Lemurs HOORAY! I love the lemur king! One of my favourite quotes from the movie.
Alex: No, no. I couldn't take your crown.
Julian: It's ok. I've got a bigger crown! Look, it has a gecko on it. Look at him dance. Shake it little gecko, shake it!
MWA HA HA… Seriously though, if you can see it, do. It's an awesome movie. YAY MADAGASCAR! YAY KING OF DA LEMURS!
