So I have to say that the last chapter was probably my most favorite so far. A lot of fluff and Raven's last comment really made it my favorite. I've been really busy writing this story, A Haunting at Jump City High, and a new fic that popped into my head yesterday that I've barely had time to read others fics! Needless to say, I'm hoping to finish this story before September 7th because that's my first day of my freshman year in highschool. I woke up at seven in the morning to check my inbox, and I had nearly two pages of newsletters from one of my websites, updates for stories on here, emails from my friends (Hi, Christi!), and reviews for this story and some of my others. I was at the computer until TEN just opening and reading everything. Then yesterday, I bought two new cd's and my parents got me a couple of dvd's and 'Crash' was on at ten. I've been very busy lately. Sunday we went up to Williamsburg and I got this really bad sunburn. It still hurts. But you're not here to read about me and my life, you're here for the next installment in the story, which shall be brought to you after these brief messages from me to my sponsors.

Thanks to all of you who reviewed!

I really appriciate all of your nice comments, but couldn't you people give me some constructive criticism once in a while? I feel as though this story could be better, and would really like the help.

Chapter Five: In a Second

"You were the one/That I couldn't find/Hidden away/In the depths of my mind/Why did I let you go, you're to good to be true/I messed it up and now I don't know what to do/We ran in circles and wasted time/From right to wrong, from right to wrong."-From the song "Collapsed" by Aly and AJ

Don't know where you are
Wish I could be near you
I would sail oceans
To get a glimpse of how you feel

"Robin and Starfire just got home. Something good must have happened on that date, otherwise Starfire wouldn't be giggling so hard and Robin's mask wouldn't be missing. Yeah, that's right. I spied. It's kinda hard not to stop yourself from wanting to see what's going on out in the hallway outside your room when your friends' auras are so strong and Starfire's laughing at nothing. Maybe it wasn't nothing. I don't know. But I do wanna know why they went for dinner at ten p.m. It's just not...normal. And I wanna know why he let Beast Boy and me take the R-cycle tonight. Something fishy's going on, and I garuntee you that the rest of us are going to find out soon.

You're all the things I'm looking for
Everything and so much more

What I think, you are just perfect
Could it be, that I am worth it
Is this thing an open door
Walk right through to something more

You and me
My life would change in a second
In a second

"I have no idea why I'm up at forty-five past midnight, something's just keeping me awake. And I have this strong feeling that it's Beast Boy. He's not asleep. Usually when I'm meditating, I can feel my friends' auras. Cyborg's is still depressed, I take it that Bumblebee still won't talk to him. Star and Robin are both extremely happy for reasons unknown. But Beast Boy is thinking. That is definitely not normal. I can occasionally hear some things that he's thinking, but not enough to know what he's thinking about. He seemed preoccupied at the movies too. He even took me to see Must Love Dogs. I found myself wondering how he knew I wanted to see it. I think I could handle being friends with him. Maybe more. He's matured quite a bit over the past year. He's learned when to leave me alone and when to talk to me. Strangely enough, I find myself understanding him too.

Don't know how you feel
Seem to keep it to yourself
Would you climb mountains
To show me this is something real

You're all the things I'm looking for
Everything and so much more

What I think, you are just perfect
Could it be, that I am worth it
Is this thing an open door
Walk right through to something more
You and me
My life would change in a second
In a second

"Beast Boy's actually pretty funny if you give him a chance. On the inside, he's pretty insecure but really caring about others. On the way out of the movies last Saturday, this little girl had spilled her popcorn and was in tears. Beast Boy bought her more. It amazed me to no end. I guess since I started giving him more of a chance, I'm learning more about him. Like how his parents died and how bad he felt when Terra betrayed us. Beast Boy's not just some idiot in a black and purple spandex uniform like I thought he was, he's a person. I know that I'm being really hard on myself right now, I'm just really happy that I found him and I'm scolding myself for being so mean to him before. Beast Boy tries so hard to be understanding of me, and I have to give him points for that. I find myself feeling things that I never could before when I'm around him. It's amazing. I don't think I'm in love with him just yet, but I do care for him. Each time I go out with him, I find that we get closer. He's my best friend."

Could it be, could it be
You and me, you and me
Do I see, do I see
Clearly

A soft tap on Raven's door startled her, and she quickly stowed her diary under her mattress and opened the door, revealing just the person she had been writing about seconds before. "Beast Boy?"

"Hey, you wanna go out for ice cream?" he asked. She noticed that he was still wearing his jeans and dress shirt.

"Yeah, just let me change and I'll be right out." she replied, moving to close her door.

"What you're wearing is fine."

Raven looked at him as though he were crazy. "Beast Boy, these are my pajamas."

"So? Nobody's gonna see you but Bob."

"Bob?"

"The guy who work's behind the counter at Joe's Ice Cream."

"Bob works at Joe's Ice Cream? That is seriously twisted."

"Tell that to Bob." Beast Boy said, grinning at her. Raven giggled and turned to get her shoes from the floor. "Wait, was that a giggle?" Raven turned bright red and smiled sheepishly at him. "I told you I'd make you laugh one day."

"And you were right, weren't you?" Raven said with a smile, and shoving her shoes onto her feet she left her room for ice cream with Beast Boy.

Another chapter complete. A complete BBRae chapter for all of you BBRae fans who are reading this. I got a few requests for more BBRae fluff, but personally didn't like the end of the chappy. It was too incomplete or something. Unfortunately, I ran out of ideas for it and couldn't think of anything. I know that Raven was out of character, but I wanted her to be different since she can feel whenever she's around Beast Boy in this story. This chapter was inspired by the song "In a Second" by Aly and AJ. Chapter six will probably be up tomorrow (8/19)

Toodles,
