Chapter thirteen: Waiting
Author's notes:
Me: ARGH!
Nari: What?
Me: I got the most annoying review!
Nari: What did it say?
Me: Something along the lines of "are you on drugs. you need mental help". It made me SO mad!
Nari: Not to mention the poor punctuation...
Me: Yeah, really! Whatta jerk! If that person had an account, I'd hunt him/her down and eat him/her! At least I can spell...s/he misspelled "drugs" and wrote "durgs".
Nari: XD What the heck is a durg?
Me: I dunno...but whatever...
Nari: Eh, oh well. I mean, look at all of the other nice reviews you got!
Me: Yeah, you're right...oh, one last thing. Sorry for how short this chapter is, everyone. I know it's boring, too...I'm not in a very good mood right now.

Robin had managed to sneak away from the scary party. A lucky thing, too, for they were trying to get him to see how fast he could eat a whole turkey. Ew.
"I need to check on Raven, but...maybe I should try to save Starfire, first," Robin pondered, glancing over his shoulder as people chanted "Go, go, go!" and Starfire somehow fit a whole turkey in her mouth. It would have been funny, had it not been so disturbing.
"...Raven can wait. They might try to make Starfire do more weird stuff."
"Hey, Starfire, I found a toaster! Now we can play our next game!"
Robin's eyes bugged out and he ran to Starfire's rescue.

"Any success?" Beastboy asked.
"Mm, no," Hope replied. "I think I almost had it that time, though. Becoming apart of Raven's psyche over again isn't easy..."
"I can imagine."
Hope smiled pleasantly. "But I'll keep trying. I know Raven's important to you."
Beastboy couldn't lie. She was right.
The others approached Hope from behind. Anger tapped her on the shoulder. "You're never gonna make it by yourself."
"Mind if we help?" Wisdom asked.
Knowledge rearranged her glasses. "You'll never be able to muster enough energy to do this without assistance."
Hope nodded. "Of course."
Beastboy watched as they worked together to help Hope. He had to admit, it was beginning to get boring.
Nothing escapes Knowledge's eyes; she noticed his dull expression.
"Beastboy, you ought to leave," she commanded.
"Huh? Why?"
"You should go and see if this attempt works. Go see if the real Raven wakes up in a few minutes."
Beastboy didn't ask questions. He left immediately, eager to see the Raven he knew again.
---
"Beastboy, when did you get back?" asked a surprised Robin, seeing Beastboy sitting by Raven's side.
"Er...just a few minutes ago," Beastboy answered slowly.
Starfire had a feeling that Beastboy wanted a minute alone with Raven, so she urged Robin to leave. "Come, Robin, let us return to the party!"
"After I finally got away? Not a chance!" Robin exclaimed.
Star bit her lip. "Then...uh...let us rid of the fans!"
"...Okay. They're making a mess anyway...and I'm afraid to think about what they might be doing to poor Cyborg."
"Yes, yes! Our robotic friend must need assistance at this moment! Let us leave!"
Starfire tugged Robin away to face an army of crazy people.
Beastboy smiled, then turned his attention to Raven, who had begun to stir.
"Raven, I hope that this works...because I really miss you. But no matter how long it takes...I'll be waiting. I'll wait for you forever, if that's what it takes. Just be okay, Raven..."
Beastboy let out a deep breath.
"...Forever is a long time to wait, you know, Beastboy..."

Haha, you don't get a summary for the next chapter. (sticks tongue out) (gets bricked)
