Well, I suppose it is time for another update. Would you think so? Thanks for the reviews, at least those that did review.
Regrem Erutaerc: Thanks for the ideas. I'll see what I can do. I can more than likely slip something like that in here. Thanks for sticking with the story through and through so far. It means a lot to me.
DISCLAIMER: I wish I owned TT and TMNT, but, sadly, I don't.
Chapter 6: Just Like Casey and April
Sounds of battling could be heard early in the morning, upon the roof of Titans Tower. Further investigation would warrant the discovery of the four turtles training with each other, with Splinter overseeing their progress. Leonardo and Raphael were paired in weapons training, as were Donatello and Michelangelo. The clanging of metal mixed with the clunking of wood, creating a medly of sound effects, which caused one Titan to awaken from her sleep earlier than wanted. Grumbling to herself, Raven went into the kitchen, hoping she could get some herbal tea to help her back to sleep. The kitchen was not alone, however. Upon entering the room, Raven found BeastBoy up in the kitchen, apparently fixing himself some tofu for an early breakfast. Looking up, he saw Raven.
"Well, good morning Raven. Were you woken up as well?" he asked casually.
"Yeah, their training will take a little while to get used to." she replied.
"I'll fix you your herbal tea, if you want." BeastBoy said, trying to sound as casual as possible.
"No, that's all right. I wouldn't want you tainting it."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Exactly what it sounds like. You'd probably slip some caffiene in it, or something."
"Why do you always think I'll do something like that?"
"Beacause you're you."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The turtles had finished their rooftop training, and went back down for some refreshment. They entered to find BeastBoy and Raven in a rather heated argument, or as heated as you can get considering Raven still had to maintain control of her powers, apparently about BeastBoy's behavior. Some of the argument was to heated to even understand completely, so the turtles were a little lost. But they had their own comments about the argument, though.
"Remind you of anyone?" asked Donatello.
"Yeah, they're just like Casey and April." replied Raph.
A rather evil glint appeared in Michelangelo's eyes. "So they're just like April and Casey, huh? Perfect." he said. Turning his voice into a fake high-pitched voice, he yelled, "How cute! The lovebirds are having a little argument!"
The talking instantly stopped. BeastBoy and Raven turned in the direction of the turtles. "What did you call us?" they yelled, a light blush creeping on their faces. Michelangelo laughed.
"Well, the way you two argue, you must be in love." said Raphael snidely.
"WE ARE NOT!" they both yelled in unison. They looked at each other for a minute, then turned away, but not without even more blush creeping onto their cheeks. Raven put her hood up to hide her face, and recovered first.
"How could you even think that?" she asked.
"Well, couples argue like that a lot." said Donatello wisely.
"That is absolutely no reason to think that about us." Raven remarked.
"Actually, Raven, there is merit to that." spoke Leonardo, who had remained silent until now. "We know a couple who had the same problem, arguing and fighting almost all the time."
"That's an understatement." joked Michelangelo.
"However, it must have been masking their real feelings, for the now lead a very happy life together. They may have argued several times, but I've never seen a more loving couple."
"Guess opposites really do attract." said Donatello.
Raven was in shock. There stood Leonardo, the one turtle she thought she would get along fine with. Now, he stood there, saying that there was merit to the idea that her and BeastBoy could become a couple. She couldn't believe that. "I'm going to my room for some meditation. I'd advise you not to disturb me, or bother me at all, for the rest of the day." she said with menace in her voice.
"All right, we'll leave you alone. Go meditate all you want." said Raphael.
Raven walked away. BeastBoy was standing by himself, looking a trifle unnerved, and deep in thought. "I think I'll go to my room, too." he muttered, and walked away without waiting for a reply.
"Jeez, what got into those two?" asked Michelangelo.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Raven was attempting to meditate, but the words of the turtles kept reverbating in her mind. She couldn't get the conversation out of her mind. 'Hmm...those turtles think that BeastBoy and I could be a couple. Yeah, right! He's just an annoying kid. How could I ever like him?' she thought. 'But still, why do I get this weird feeling whenever I think about that conversation? Ahh! This is really irritating. Looks like it's time to pay a visit to my feelings. They'll at least know what this feeling is.' Heading to her dresser, she picked up a small mirror, looked into it, concentrated, and went into her mind, for a conversation with her feelings...
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Well, another chapter done! Coming up next, Raven goes to meet with her feelings, and BeastBoy is deep in thought. I hope these chapters aren't too short for you guys. If they are, please tell me in your reviews, okay? I need those tips.
And Regrem Erutaerc, I hope you like the fact that I used your idea in a little of this chapter.
Well, I'll see ya next chapter. Remember to R&R!
