Chapter Forty-Seven: "Unknown Actions"

Beast Boy placed his right hand behind his head and blushed from nervousness, "I kinda heard what Raven said."

Terra didn't look at all surprised, instead she felt angry. "You heard that!" She almost shouted.

"Well, not all of it, but I got the jest of it." He lied as he looked at the floor, moving his foot around.

Terra walked deeper into her room, Beast Boy made it his way inside too before the door closed soundlessly behind him. Beast Boy stood by the doorway, afraid to walk any further.

"Why doesn't she believe me Beast Boy?" She asked, obviously frustrated.

Beast Boy thought about it and then answered as softly as he could, "Well, you did betray her trust. I mean, ya, you saved us and the city from being taken over by lava and you returned here to right your wrongs—"

Terra sighed, "But—"

Beast Boy walked over to her, "But it's going to take some time to build up the trust you broke. We care about you Terra, and we don't want you to leave; I don't want you to leave." He was standing incredibly close to her without realizing it. They were about ten inches apart from each other.

Terra was looking at him, her face had softened and her cheeks were a light shade of pink. "You really don't want me to leave?" she asked in a low voice.

Beast Boy smiled, "No I don't."

Maybe I still have a chance; maybe he still likes me more than Raven. Terra thought to herself. Her cheeks turned a darker shade of pink as she could feel his breath and his body near hers. How can you be so close to me, but yet so far? She asked herself.

"Terra, just promise me one thing." Beast Boy hesitated.

"What's that?" she asked, sounding concerned.

"Don't turn evil again. Don't sell us out, and don't just suddenly run off." Beast Boy said as seriously as he could.

Terra thought about it for a few quick moments, "I promise." She smiled.

"That means a lot to me Terra, and I really hope you don't break it." He realized how close he was and backed away instantly, blushing. "I'll see you later ok?" he asked, making his way towards the door.

Terra smiled, "Sure."

Beast Boy walked out of her room and headed towards Raven's. When he got to her door he knocked gently. He waited for a reply but he didn't hear a thing. He knocked again, but still got no reply. He groaned and walked to the main room. He quickly scanned it and didn't see Raven anywhere.

"Hey BB!" Cyborg shouted. "Want to play some Game Station?" He asked, excited as he could.

"No thanks." He paused, "Have you seen Raven?" He asked.

Cyborg shook his head and two seconds later Starfire came in.

"Hello friends! Might we journey to the mall of shopping for the hanging out as a group?" She asked smiling.

Cyborg jumped up. "Sounds like fun! And this time I won't have to stand out like a sore thumb." He said, getting more anxious and happier as every second passed.

Beast Boy frowned, "Maybe in an hour or so Star. Have you seen Raven?"

"I am sorry Beast Boy, I have not." Starfire answered him.

Cyborg was ranting in the background, "I can't wait to go to mall. Wow I can't believe I said that. But I'm going to buy some new clothes, maybe even get a couple of dates…" He just kept going on. Suddenly he stopped and ran out of the room. "I got to go find some clothes!"

Starfire giggled and Beast Boy laughed.

"I have not seen Cyborg so happy since we beat the Trigon." Starfire smiled. She looked at Beast Boy, "Have you seen Robin? I wish to inform him of the hanging out at the mall idea."

Beast Boy shrugged, "Sorry Star, I haven't seen him since breakfast."

"He must be in the gym. I shall go fetch him.

He took a trip up to the top of the tower and found Raven, sitting over the edge of the tower. The odd thing about it though was she wasn't meditating.

Beast Boy sat next to her, "What's up?"

Raven, without taking her eyes off the ocean, replied "Just watching the waves."

That doesn't sound like Raven, Beast Boy thought. He leaned in, looking at her skin and poking her.

Raven, annoyed, grabbed his hand. "What are you doing?" She asked, irritated.

"Seeing if you're you." He replied, still looking at her skin.

Raven leaned in the rest of the way and kissed him.

Yup, that's Raven. He smiled.

She pulled away and looked at him. "Why are you smiling?"

"What, I can't smile when I'm around you?" He asked.

"I didn't say that. I just asked." She began getting defensive.

Beast Boy looked at her with some concern, but it quickly vanished. "I have a surprise for you."

Raven gave him a 'oh no' kind of look, "What is it?"

Beast Boy laughed, "It's a surprise. I'll be right back." He ran towards the door and disappeared down the stairs.

Starfire walked down to the gym and sure enough, there was Robin, beating the crap out of the punching bag. Starfire watched silently as he punched and kicked his stuffed target.

Robin punched the bag with his right hand and then kicked with his left foot. As he kicked the bag, a spring popped out and entangled itself into his pants fabric. The bag swung him and he fell to the ground.

Starfire, who saw the whole thing, began giggling. Robin quickly got up and straightened himself out. He took a few steps towards Starfire and fell again. Starfire began bursting out in another set of giggles. Robin was blushing horribly.

Starfire walked over him to him and squatted next to him. "Robin are you falling for me all over again?" she giggled.

"Star, I never recovered from the first fall." He blushed. I can't believe I just said that.

Starfire leaned over him and kissed him and Robin snaked his arms around her waist. She giggled as she felt his clothes tickle her skin. He took advantage of this moment and lightly began tickling her. She giggled and pulled away. Robin laughed as he continued. Starfire attempted to get out of his grip, but she failed. Robin moved around until he was on top of Starfire, tickling her. She laughed and tried to wiggle her way away from him.

"Please Robin—" She laughed, "—stop. It hurts to laugh."

Robin, also laughing, got up and helped Starfire up as well.

"Robin, we are going to the mall of shopping in an hour. Would you like to join us?" Starfire asked innocently.

"Sure thing. Let me go wash up." He smiled. They walked out of the gym and headed to their rooms.

Twenty minutes past and Beast Boy reappeared. He walked in front of Raven.

"What is that?" she asked, pointing to his giant overcoat.

"Ready for your surprise?" Beast Boy grinned.
