Chapter 3: Emotions Run High

Beast Boy had flicked on his radio. So far, the only music that was playing was annoying rap 'songs'. But, another song started playing as soon as he had started to think about Raven.

She's cold and she's cruel

But she knows what she's doin'

She pushed me in the pool

At our last school reunion

She laughs at my dreams

But I dream about her laughter

Strange as it seems

She's the one I'm after

Dude! thought Beast Boy. Do the radio people always have to read my mind?


'Cause she's bittersweet

She knocks me off of my feet

And I can't help myself

I don't want anyone else

She's a mystery

She's too much for me

But I keep comin' back for more

She's just the girl I'm lookin' for.

Beast Boy turned the radio off. "I'm gonna have to get that CD," he said to no one in particular. He turned his head towards the door. Was that singing he heard?

Blyrric had finished Mr. Storm's stupid test. He walked up to the front desk. "Put it in the box if you're done," said Mr. Storm, looking though other tests. He pointed one of his bright red claws towards a black box with other papers. Blyrric did so. "Wait outside with the rest of your classmates," said the wolf.

He still gives me the creeps, thought Blyrric. He got that familiar feeling again. But, he went outside as instructed.

Raven was out on the roof by herself. She had previously been meditating, but there wasn't much else to do, so she had started singing.

I know there's somethin' in the wake of your smile

I get a notion from the look in your eyes

But this love

Keeps falling apart

Your little piece of heaven

Turns to dark

Beast Boy had quietly opened to the door. He saw Raven, he heard angelic singing. Never in his life had he thought Raven could sing like that! Sure, he knew she could sing, but not like this!

Listen to your heart

When he's calling for you

Listen to your heart

There's nothing

Else you can do

I don't

Know where you're going

And I don't know why

But listen to your heart

Before

You tell him goodbye

He wanted to tell her how he felt about her singing, but he seemed glued to the spot. He couldn't move. He was transfixed by Raven, not like he hadn't been already!

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile

The precious moments are all lost in the tide

It melts away

And nothing

Is what it seems

The feeling of belonging

To your dreams


Listen to your heart

When he's calling for you

Listen to your heart

There's nothing

Else you can do

I don't

Know where you're goin'

And I don't know why

But listen to your heart

Before

You tell him goodbye

The young changeling was absolutely stunned. By her singing, and by the fact she hadn't noticed him!

And there were voices

That need to be heard

So much to mention

But you can't find the words

The precious balance

The beauty that's been

When love was wilder

Than the wind


Listen to your heart

When he's calling for you

Listen to your heart

There's nothing

Else you can do

I don't

Know where you're

Going

And I don't know why

But listen to your heart

Before

You tell him goodbye.

Beast Boy knew she was finished. The glue that held him to the spot turned to oil, forcing him to walk towards her. He grew more nervous with each step. One part of him wanted to tell her straight out, while another part wanted to run for his life. Either way, he couldn't turn back.

He tapped her shoulder. "Uh, Raven?" he said.

Raven's insides jumped 10 feet in the air. When had Beast Boy shown up? "Uh, hi Beast Boy. When did you show up?"

He shifted uncomfortably. "Since you started singing."

Timid said, Oh no, now he hates us.

Shut up, Timid, shouted Raven to the gray claoked emotion.

Ask him what he thought about our singing! shouted Happy.

He must have thought we were good, said Knowledge.

Yeah, replied Rage, and we'll give him a little what-for if he says otherwise!

"Will you all shut up?" shouted Raven. She covered her mouth with her hand. She definitely didn't want to say that out loud!

Beast Boy sat next to her. "Emotion problems again?"

"Yeah. When one starts talking, they never shut up."

"Kind of like younger siblings," he replied with a smile.

Raven chuckled. "Yeah." There was an uncomfortable silence between them. Raven broke it. "So, um, what did you think of my singing?"

He smiled. "You're an awesome singer, Rae…ven."

"Just call me Rae," she said.

"But I thought you hated being called Rae?"

She smiled. "For you, I'll make an exception."

If Beast Boy was from Tamaran, he would he flown through the atmoshpere!

The two didn't realize they had a little spy watching them. Erin had seen and heard everything. She turned on a CD and left it on the edge of the roof for mood music. The song, "You & Me," by Lifehouse started playing. The pair stood up.

"May I have this dance?" asked Beast Boy, holding out his hand and slightly bowing.

Raven took it. "Yes, you may," she said with a smile. Beast Boy took her hand in his and placed the other on her waist. Raven shivered slightly, but did the same.

What day is it?

And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

I can't keep up

And I can't back down

I've been losing

So much time


Cause it's

You and me

And all of the people

With nothin' to do

Nothin' to lose

And it's

You and me

And all of the people

And I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you.

Beast Boy and Raven's eyes locked onto each other's. The song was right. Beast Boy wasn't sure why he couldn't keep his eyes off her.

What other things

That I wanna say

Just aren't coming out right

I'm tripping on words

You got my head spinning

I don't know

Where to go

From here


Cause it's

You and me

And all of the people

With nothin' to do

Nothin' to prove

And I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes of of you

Beast Boy spun Raven, and she retaliated back. She smiled, and she put her hands on his shoulders. Beast Boy put his on her waist. Raven shivered again, and stepped a little closer to Beast Boy.

There's somethin' about you tonight

I can't quite familiarize

Everything she does is beautiful

And everything she does is right


Cause it's

You and me

And all of the people

With nothin' to do

Nothin' to lose

And it's

You and me

And all of the people

And I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of

You and me

And all of the people

With nothin' to do

Nothin to prove

And it's

You and me

And all of the people

And I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you

Beast Boy was practically on top of Raven. He could feel her hot breath on his face.

What day is it?

And in what month?

This clock never seemed so

Alive.

Their eyes shut. Closer and closer they leaned in, then…BANG! BANG! BANG!

"Whoever ruined that moment is gonna pay for it!" said Beast Boy and Raven at the same time. Beast Boy heard soft laughter form downstairs.

"Did you hear that?" asked Beast Boy.

Raven gave him a playful glare. "I'd have to be deaf not to hear the sirens."

He laughed. "Not the sirens!" He heard the laughing again. "That."

Raven listened hard. "Yeah. And it sounds like-"

"ERIN! CYBORG! ROBIN!" they screamed. The once-soft laughter was now a full-blown uproar. The two clasped hands, then went to give those guys a what-for.

A/N:

I know, I'm evil, but I couldn't resist. And, in answer to someone's review about the winged wolves, Cloud and Bloss aren't purebred. Only Blyr and Storm are. Thank you to all who took the time to review.
