Ding, Dong.
"I'll get it!" Cyborg said excitedly. The tower was decorated and rearranged. There was a temporary dance floor, making it look like an actual ballroom.
" Glorious! Beastboy has arrived! Let us now celebrate this joyous reunion!" Starfire stepped out from the shadows, revealing her beauty. Robin just stood there, drooling at the site of her. He looked her up and down. She had on purple heels that matched with her long, purple gown. Her dress had a dangerous neckline, but didn't show too much skin. Her hair was down in its usual fashion with glitter and she had on the tiniest bit of mascara on, showing off her long eyelashes. All the guys that entered the room did the same as Robin and some even winked at her. She had on a confused face, uncertain what the winking was for.
" Yo, Robin! Quit staring at Starfire and get over here and say hi to our guests, man!"
He blushed furiously and took Starfire's hand and led her down to the guests.
Raven was still in the hall, trying to get her dark blue (almost black) gown together. She took a peep and looked around. She saw Robin making goo-goo eyes at, well whom else, but Starfire. She wasn't surprised that she didn't even care. They could make out if they wanted to, and she still wouldn't bother to stop them. Then, she saw Beastboy. He wasn't the same skinny kid he looked like a year ago. He was as buff and as muscular as Robin. Out from behind him, stepped out Terra. WHAT? She couldn't believe he was still hung up on her. Why, once she got her hands on that-
She heard a light bulb shatter. 'Great, that was the second one this evening,' she thought to herself.
She opened the door and felt all eyes on her. She knew something like this would happen. Except for Robin's, he was still looking at Starfire. They were surprised to see Raven, you know, Queen of Sarcasm, Miss Attitude, half-demoness, in a dress. Although it wasn't as fancy and beautiful as Starfire's, it did make her appear a lot less dark as everyone thought her to be. She started walking towards him. After five seconds guys stopped looking and got on with the party. Except for-
"Hey Beastboy."
BEASTBOY'S POV
What was I supposed to do? The girl I had been crushing on for years was standing before me in a hot dress.
" Hey Rae." Suddenly realizing my mistake, I corrected myself. "Oh, yeah, I mean Raven."
" No, it's okay. You can call me Rae, now you know."
She was so beautiful. I hadn't seen her in such a long time. Her face was such a shock to me. You would never guess that a face like that would be hiding underneath the hood of a cloak. I could tell that she was staring at me too. I guess all that weightlifting did pay off; although the only reason I did it was to make Raven notice me more, you know, if we ever saw each other again, like this. There was an awkward silence between us.
Just as I said, "So…you and Robin." she said, " So…you and Terra."
We both laughed and soon she explained to me why she would pretend to hate me and vice versa.
"You know," she said with a sly grin, " I never told you this, but I think you're really funny, even if I never showed it."
"And when Rorek broke your heart and I said that I was sorry about it, I really meant it." I watched her face intently as her face broke out into a smile. She was so attractive when she showed her inner beauty.
"Oh, BEASTBOY!" My thoughts were interrupted but the most annoying voice.
" What do you want, Terra?" I think I saw Raven cringe as I said her name with a hint of annoyance. I was so sick of her being so…clingy. " Can we get a moment here? You know, catch up?"
"But I thought you said, and I quote, that the only thing that was stopping you from not going to this stupid reunion were your friends. You said that seeing her," she pointed to Raven, who now had a grim face, "was going to be the worst part of it and that she was the reason you didn't feel like going here in the first place."
I looked at Terra with anger in my face. "That's not true Terra. I never said that."
I know all guys say that when stuff like this happens to them, but I was one guy that really meant them. I turned around, expecting to see Raven's face full of fury, ready to explode at me. But it wasn't. In fact she wasn't even there anymore. She had already gone out the door. I took one last look at Terra. She had a smug look on her face, as if she was proud of what she had just made up. Good thing everybody else was busy either making out with someone or dancing. Except for Robin. Dude, he, and Starfire were flirting nonstop! Whatever. I ran as fast as I could to catch up to her.
REGULAR POV
"Raven! Wait up!" Beastboy panted, out of breath. " Please, I can explain."
She turned around. Beastboy was shocked. Were those… unshed tears? He suddenly felt bad. Nothing ever made Raven cry, nothing but a broken heart.
"What Beastboy? What do you want now? I was trying to be nice! Do you really think that I'm gonna believe you never said those words?"
"Rae, please, that's not what I said! Terra made it up!"
"Why don't you just get back to sucking her face and forget about me!" By this time, tears were streaming out of her eyes.
" I've already tried," Beastboy whispered.
"What?"
" Do you even know why I go out with Terra? I tried to forget about you, Rae. You were every thing to me and when you started going out with Robin, I knew you'd never like me the way you liked Robin."
" Is that true? The only reason I started going out with Robin was because I was trying to make you jealous. I really liked you Beastboy. And I still do."
By this time, their faces were an inch apart, their knees almost touching. Beastboy leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. He expected her to object, but then she wrapped her arms around him and just deepened the kiss even more.
