hey! sorry i took so long to update. the truth is, i was gonna delete this story...but then i saw the reviews and ... decided not to. Well, i had major writer's block on this story. i re-wrote the third chapter three times...>. who ever said "lucky number three" is so wrong...well, here's some answers: ... or remarks
Black Metalmark: Well I think the last chapter changed for the better. And I can understand Terra being in character even if so many people hate her. Uh you made one mistake though in the sentence:
"You know what, I'm going on toe meditate on the roof," Raven got up and moved on up.
(I think you meant to write to not toe)
But besides that great chapter. Starfire is so weird, drinking an air freshener. Lol! Well keep up the good work. And the jealously begins.
Rin: eh...ya, sorry 'bout that...but...hey, i thought air freshener was juice when i was little...so...yea...
Iuz the Old: Good Story! As for Terra... Terra I will eat your heart and crap out your soul!
Rin: please don't do that. i still need her for the story...(but afterwards, do as you wish)
well that's all...all the other ones i'm too lazy to reply on...sorry 'bout that...any questions or comment may be put in the review and i'll get to it when i care...i mean can..
Disclaimer: i do not own the Teen Titans; if i did, there would be no such thing as a Terra (lol, i had to write that, though i don't exactlly hate terra...i just can't stand her) and Beast Boy and Raven would've been together right after "Nevermore"
Raven glanced back seeing the look on everybody's face – especially Beast Boy's. She smiled and returned to the conversation. "A d-date?" Abe stammered.
"Is that a problem?" Raven asked.
"N-no, not at all!" he cried. "So, Saturday at…uh…eight, is that okay?"
"Seven and that's a date." Raven said.
"Seven it is!" he cried, a loud crash came from the other line – he must've tripped over something in excitement.
"See you then," she whispered and hung up. They still had the same surprised look on their face. Raven gave them a mild glare. "What?" she demanded.
"Uh, who are you and what did you do to our Raven?" Beast Boy said.
"One, I'm still Raven, and two, what do you mean by 'our'? I don't belong to anyone!" she said.
"Yet," Cyborg whispered.
"What do you mean?" Raven stared at Cyborg.
"Well, when you go up with fan president, you'd 'belong' to him." Cyborg said putting air quotes on belong. Raven narrowed her eyes.
"He wish," she murmured so softly on she can hear. Turning around, she walked towards her room. She heard someone get up after her. In the hall, someone pulled on her arm. Raven turned around seeing Beast Boy. "What?"
"Rae – Raven, are you sure about this?" he asked.
Raven sighed and closed her eyes. "It's a date already," she whispered. "It's just a date, nothing big."
"Nothing big? It's a big deal." He cried. "Raven, you barely know this guy and you're going out with him!"
"Why are you so worried about me for?" she asked. "You have Terra to worry about." She walked onwards leaving Beast Boy speechless. Raven mentally slapped herself. What was that she just said? Now it's bright-as-light obvious that she might be a teeny bit jealous of Terra. She rolled her eyes. Then again, this was Beast Boy she was talking about – what might he notice?
Raven got up later than usual the next day. Probably because she had a lot of time to kill and didn't know how to waste it. Meditating for a long while would probably make her brain-dead. Lucky for Raven, due to Robin's decision, it was combat practice.
"Titans, you know how it goes," Cyborg said. Terra smiled remembering her first time in combat practice. "Now, who'll be the first to go?"
Raven sat on the control table with her hood drawn up. Robin sat next to her ready to start the controls. "Why won't you go first, Raven?" Cyborg asked. Raven narrowed her eyes underneath her hood. "You don't want to…" whatever was going to say, Raven didn't let him. She flew down onto the starting line.
"Just say the word, and I'll start." Raven said testily.
"Three," Robin started on the countdown. "Two, one, GO!"
Raven took off quickly as the bombard of explosive came towards Raven. She shielded herself from the bombardment and flew off quickly to the next obstacle. Metal fist emerge from the ground. Raven dodged them and smashed one down. The next obstacle came three large gates that slid down shut within moments. She quickly turned into a black raven and slid through all of them. The last part, the explosive disks came. Raven was quite impatient about this already. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" she chanted. All the disk around her broke as she flew to the ending line. "Done," she said.
"1:15," Cyborg said. "That was faster than my last one."
"Whatever," Raven said flying to the controls and sitting down on the chair. "Who's next?"
"I'll go," Terra said. "I might burn off some time on yours, Rae." Raven narrowed her eyes.
"Don't call me Rae," she said finally. Terra shrugged and pulled her goggles on.
"Ready?" Beast Boy asked from the sidelines.
"As always," she replied calmly. Raven felt a bit irritated by her attitude. 'Good luck going through this course,' she thought.
"Remember Terra," Raven said. "Don't break the obstacle course, go around it." Terra frowned and gave a rather unpleasant look at Raven before Robin started the countdown.
"GO!" Robin cried and Terra leapt off the floor and headed for the obstacle course. Raven's hand moved lazily on the control panel. She's done this a hundred times, and –excluding Cyborg – she can do this without thinking.
Luckily, instead of going through the gates and breaking them, Terra used rocks to jam them open. 'Finally, she thinks,' Raven thought in her mind. Strange, she thought she and Terra weren't on the thin ice anymore. Now, she found that she was on a war against Terra. What did Terra have that she doesn't? Beast Boy…Raven flushed. Is she thinking correctly? By the time she snapped out of it, Terra was done…with the time of 1:30.
"You definitely shaved some time off mines," Raven said sarcastically. Terra scowled.
"You did great," Beast Boy whispered. Terra smiled and hugged him. Raven sworn she would tear something into shreds by now.
"Thanks," Terra replied. Raven sighed and got up.
"Where are you going?" Robin asked.
"Inside," she answered vaguely and walked in. Robin gave a rather quizzical look at Raven before she exited the obstacle course.
6:30, only half an hour left until Abe comes and pick her up. Anticipation ran through Raven's heart. What if this really didn't work? That's the dreaded result of her plan. Instead of wearing her usual cloak and jumpsuit, she wore a black turtle neck and dark blue pants. She didn't need a jacket, if she gets cold, it doesn't matter. She looked at herself in the mirror.
Thonk! Someone knocked on the door. Raven opened it slightly enough to see who it was: Starfire. "What is it, Starfire?" Raven asked.
"Um, I was wondering, you are certain about this date?" Starfire asked. "The others seem quite worried about you and…I came to see if you are most definitely certain about this. We do not want you to do something you do not wish to do."
'Too late,' Raven thought. "Look, Starfire, I called him and asked him that means I'm not being forced against my will, okay?" Raven stepped out of her room. "Now, if you'll let me go to the living room, I'll be on my way."
In the living room sat Cyborg, Robin and Beast Boy. Terra seemed to have something extremely important to do and was inside her room again. Raven sat down on the couch with the others. Starfire came in, trailing.
"So, it's almost time for the date." Robin said lamely. Raven nodded.
"Are you sure about this?" Beast Boy asked.
"I'm sure he's a nice guy," she replied.
"Have you ever been wrong?" Cyborg asked.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Raven snapped. Cyborg gazed at the ceiling whistling an innocent tune. Raven let that pass as she glanced quickly at the clock. The clock just turned 7:00 and the doorbell rang. "Wow, good timing." Raven said, slightly impressed. She opened the door and saw Abe. She forced herself to smile.
"Hey," Raven said with fake compassion.
"Ready to go?" he asked.
"Don't I look ready?" she said trying to sound like she was being a bit flirty with him, but it came out like she was scowling instead. "Let's just go." She said hurrying out the door and closing it.
"So, eager to get out aren't you?" he said trying to start a conversation.
"You have no idea." Raven replied truthfully.
"They don't seem that bad," he commented.
"They aren't, she is." Raven said vaguely.
"She, she is pertaining to who?" Abe inquired. Raven froze for a bit.
"It's nothing," she said. For once, someone actually listened to her fully and seemed like they cared. Raven felt slightly flattered.
"Well, I guess we're going…to…where do you want to go?" Abe said, hesitantly.
"To eat, I mean, isn't that why we're here?" Raven said. He laughed nervously.
"Yea, I guess so. I just didn't know where to go. Pizza?" he said.
'I can get that any day,' she said to herself. "Sure," she replied. Abe took her hand and headed for the Pizzeria. 'He's holding my hand,' she thought angrily…but let the anger subside.
"A table for two," the waiter said with a fake French accent.
"Drop the accent, will you?" Raven said slightly irritated by the accent. "This place just serves pizza, not some fancy French restaurant." The waiter sniffed angrily.
"Well, do you want to eat here or not?" he said, his French accent gone.
"I don't think you'll want to kick out one of your best customers." Raven shot back.
"Uh, just a table for two," Abe interjected the argument. "Do you want to eat or be kicked out?"
"If it wasn't for that fake accent," she murmured softly. 'I sound like a child who's trying to get her way all the time,' she sighed.
"What type?" she suddenly heard Abe ask.
"Uh…come again?" she said.
"What type…of pizza would you like?" he repeated.
"Anything would be fine," she said quickly. Calling the shots wasn't always her thing.
"Combo pizza," he ordered. Raven sat there, slightly nervous. "So, tell me about yourself." Abe said.
"Shouldn't you know? You're my fan club president." Raven retorted.
"I don't know much pass 'Azarath Metrion Zinthos'." He admitted.
"Some president," she murmured under her breath. She didn't continue, she'd rather have her secret life left alone and unknown to them. She closed her eyes.
"They're late! They're late!" Beast Boy cried circling the living room.
"Who's late?" Terra asked finishing her share of the tacos for dinner.
"Raven," he answered. "She said she'd be back by 10:00, now it's 10:05! She's five minuets late – she's never late!" he exclaimed.
"Aren't you playing the role for big brother correctly?" she smiled. "Don't worry; she can take care of herself! You said so yourself."
"Well, they're still late." He ended. Terra sighed.
"Why are you so worried about her?" Terra asked, slightly angered.
"Why shouldn't I be? I'm her friend," he empathized 'friend'.
"I know, but Robin and Cyborg and Star are taking it easy, why not you?" she said. Beast Boy frowned. That's true.
"It's just…I don't trust that whack-o fan club dude!" he said using Abe as an excuse. Terra frowned slightly.
"Beast Boy, you know why I ran off a few months ago, right?" she asked. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I got the whole story wrong. Robin just guessed that I couldn't control my powers." Terra looked down. "I guess I shouldn't have yelled at you."
"It's okay," he said.
"And you know that I really, really like you, right?" Terra inched a bit closer to Beast Boy. Beast Boy felt his cheeks grow warmer and noticed Terra was blushing too. "I just…think that maybe we're more than just…friends."
Beast Boy couldn't open his mouth. How hard was it to say yes? Terra's cute, funny, strong, smart, and everything Beast Boy could've hoped for. What's holding him back? Terra moved closer to him, ready to kiss him.
At that instant, the door opened and Raven stood there, astonished at the scene playing in front of her.
before any of you guys use me as a dartboard, Terra and Beast Boy have NOT kissed yet; about to, but have NOT! i would rather be used as a dart board to have them actually KISS LIP-TO-LIP, maybe a little peck on the cheek, but yea...well...see ya when i update...
