I hate school I hate schoole I HATE SCHOOL! Ok, that's out of my system now. I'm SO sorry it's taken me so long to update, but I've got SO much to do at the moment, and my schedule's only getting busier. (I've got SATs coming up! Wish me luck.)

Anyway, here's the next chapter, and I want to thank everyone for reviewing, I appreciate it.


It was 8:00 and everyone was getting ready to start the movie. Cyborg was in charge of snacks and was in the kitchen getting it all together, Starfire was helping with the drinks, and Beast Boy was trying to get Raven and Robin excited about the movie.

"It's the funniest movie you guys. You think it's gonna be scary or something, but then they'll say or do something hilarious. You just wait Raven, you'll laugh."

"I highly doubt that Beast Boy."

"Aw, come on. You'll try to hide it, but I know you'll laugh. No one can resist the urge to laugh when Gene Wilder's the main character." Beast Boy smiled big and winked at Raven… he could be so cocky at times.

Suddenly Cyborg and Starfire came out of the kitchen area holding trays of food and sodas.

"All right guys, this should last us at least until intermission. That is unless BB here decides to go crazy like the last movie night and hog all the liquorice…"

"Hey, I was hungry! …I missed dinner…" Beast Boy's voice trailed off and he looked down, as if the sheer memory of missing a meal was just too much to handle.

"Let's just start the movie." Robin was apparently getting agitated at the long delay. Everyone quieted down, and Robin turned to Beast Boy. "Beast Boy, you've got it, right?"

"Sure do!" Without even checking to make sure that no one was in his way, he leapt over the couch, grabbed the DVD, and ran over to the DVD player. "Ok guys, prepare yourselves to laugh harder than you've ever laughed in your lives…"


Nearly two hours later, the movie had ended and people started heading off to their rooms. Starfire was walking with Raven, talking with her about the movie.

"I thought that the cross-eyed man with the large lump on his back was most amusing! What did you think Raven?"

"Uh… ya Star, it was great."

The two girls then walked in silence down the hall, Starfire suppressing giggles the entire way. No doubt she was still thinking about some of the scenes from the movie. Raven was about to say something when she suddenly got a throbbing headache and her vision began to blur, but not as badly as it had before. She paused where she was, trying to regain her focus.

Starfire quickly realized that her friend was no longer beside her, and turned around to where Raven had stopped.

"Raven are you all right?" Starfire leaned in closer and saw that Raven's eyes were tightly closed. "Is that thing you were telling me about happening again?"

Raven could hear the concern in Starfire's voice, and she was glad that her friend was there.

"Yes… but I think I'll be OK if I could just sit down for a minute."

"Let me assist you." Starfire put Raven's arm around her neck and flew into the nearest room, which happened to be one of their many training rooms. The Tamaranian girl led her friend to a small couch that sat in the corner, and set her down.

"Thanks Star." Raven removed her hood and leaned her head back against the couch. She still felt like her head was swimming in circles, but she could feel the dizziness starting to subside. After about two minutes of sitting in silence, Raven opened her eyes and sat up, sighing.

"Are you feeling better now friend?" Starfire had been worried, but didn't want to speak and disturb Raven, so the whole time she waited she had been twisting and folding one of the pillows that were on the couch. Looking at it now, you could hardly tell that it had once been a pillow.

"My headache's gone for the most part now, and I'm not dizzy anymore. But I still have no idea what's wrong with me…"

Raven sat with her eyes glazed over, thinking once again about her problem. Then, disturbing her thoughts, Starfire gasped.

"I know! I have been reading up on earthly tales of fairies and other various creatures, and I am reminded of the one in which the young princess pricks her finger on a wheel of spinning and is put into a heavy sleep. You have also been made unconscious by whatever this is, correct?"

Raven just stared at her for a moment before speaking. Where did she get all of her ideas?

"Well, ya, but in that story the princess stayed asleep."

Starfire's face dropped. "Oh…"

"Not to mention the fact that the evil sorceress had to enchant the spinning wheel in order to make the princess go to sleep."

"Well then, is it perhaps possible that this is some sort of enchantment?"

Raven turned to Starfire to counter the idea, when she realized that she had nothing to counter it with. It…did seem like a possibility…

"But, who would have put a spell on me? And what for?"

Starfire paused in concentration, but was unable to think of an answer. "For that I have no idea."

"Well, it's worth looking into I guess… thanks Star, you've been a big help."

"I am most pleased to have helped you Raven. If you need anything else, just let me know."

Raven got up to leave and took a few steps forward before stopping. "Hey Starfire? Would you like to help me look into this tomorrow?"

"OH YES! I would be overjoyed to help you further in your searching!"

Starfire raced over to where Raven was standing and caught her in a tight hug that knocked the wind out of her. Realizing this, the redhead quickly released her friend and smiled.

"All right then, I'll see you tomorrow. We can go out after breakfast, is that OK?"

"Indeed it is. I shall see you then. Pleasant dreams Raven."

"You too Starfire."

With that, Raven turned back toward the door and left, heading back to her room to go to bed. If she was going to spend a whole day with Starfire, she was going to need to be well rested.


Again, I'm sorry it was so short. I was going to make it longer, but I didn't have time to write more. In fact, I have so little time that I'm neglecting my research project at this very moment in order to post this chapter. But anyway, I'll be working on the next chapter and post it as soon as I can, so in the mean time, review and tell me what you think so far. Thank you for reading yet another chapter of my story!
