Hey there all. I'm back with ch 4. Sorry for the wait, took some time writing it. This was a very fun chapter to write but also a serious one because I think that this chapter will "make or break" the whole story. Hope everyone likes it and likes how I portrayed my version of the emotions.
I would like to personally thank and credit Regrem Erutaerc for helping me with this chapter by giving me the information on the emotions; you've helped me a lot and I hope you like the job that I've done with them in this chapter.
Thanks to all who read and reviewed ch 3. Nearly 70 reviews this quickly for the story...that's amaizing. I would never expext 20+ reviews for all of the chapters that have so far been posted. (Skip to begining of ch 4 if you don't want to read the replies)
Firenze2000: He could be anywhere or still at the Tower...haven't decided yet, but thanks for reviewing.
non-Christian: Sorry to make you upset, thanks for the review.
IGAF-kun: Probably use a trap that Cy used to catch the alien dog so there's no mouse deaths here.
moonfire of darknes: No more waiting for this chapter, read to find out which emotions are there, hope you like them. Thanks for all of the compliments.
Draco Blade: I guess I haven't seen her say it that often to realize it...o well. Thanks for the review.

The Fluffy Queen: That's really a good and cool idea but idk if that will happen, already have something else in mind but it might change...haven't decided yet. Thanks.
Monchhichi: Thank for reviewing, but what else can we do. There are only a few directions that writers can go for a romantic story for Raven, and this is a big part of it...It's how the writer uses it that makes it good or not. Hope that clarifies things.

Chapter 4- What a Trip
"Umph..." Raven said as she landed into her mind. She had to go to her mind because she had a few questions to ask. Like how was Raven able to express Timid and how did it relate to Beast Boy and the accident? She then got up and dusted herself off, and looked at her suroundings.
Everything looked the same as it did before, a huge and long rocky walkway with arches leading into other realms, and a portal at the end of the walkway that leads back to the real world. All of this was floating in a starry space. But the only difference was that the stars had a grayish color to them.
Knowing what she must do, Raven stood in a meditative stance and started to call all of her emotions.
It took a while, but they soon started to slowly appear.
First, Wisdom, the brown cloaked Raven, appeared, followed by Timid, the gray cloaked one, and then Rude, the one in the orange cloak.
Next, came Knowledge, the yellow cloaked Raven with thick, black, and circular glasses, then Affection, the Raven in the light purple cloak, and followed by Happy, the one in the pink cloak.
Finally, both Brave, green cloaked Raven, and Anger, red cloaked Raven, appeared.
"What's going on here?" Anger demanded.
"Raven obviously called us here so that she can ask us why her powers are going haywire again, Anger," Knowledge whispered to Anger.
"Ugh! Not again!" Anger said in disgust.
Meanwhile, Wisdom saw Timid looking a little bit weak, "Timid, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I guess so," Timid said, rubbing her head.
"Raven expressed you for a long time, didn't she?" Wisdom asked.
"Y-Yeah," Timid said as she was now holding her cloak close to her. "I wish he was here right now," she said to Wisdom softly.
Wisdom patted Timid on the back to calm her down. "Don't worry about that now, okay Timid."
"Okay. I'll-I'll try not to," Timid still gave a worry look on her face.
"Speaking of a long time," Happy said, interrupting Timid's and Wisdom's little conversation, "you now owe me twenty bucks, Brave."
"What are you talking about? I don't owe you anything," Brave stated.
"You liar! You shook on it!" Happy said teasingly. "You know that you can't turn down anything, even a bet."
"Wait! You two made a bet?" Raven asked both Brave and Happy.
"Oblivious," Rude coughed out loud. Almost everyone looked at Rude, "Sorry, had bad cough. Why does everyone have to look at me like that?"
They looked at Rude awkwardly for a while until they turned their attention back to Happy and Brave. Happy tried to look innocent, "Well sometimes we-,"
"Happy was betting Brave to see how long you would express Timid," Knowledge said.
"Snitch!" Happy said to Knowledge.
"You made a bet on something as serious as this?" All eyes were on Happy.
"Yeah, but you rarely show Timid, and you were using her for sooooooo long. I couldn't just sit here and do nothing when something this big was happening. So I went to Brave to bet on how long you expressed Timid. It was kinda like...umm...an over/under bet, yeah." Happy started to gloat, "I said at least over an hour and a half and she said under."
"And by my calculations," said Knowledge, "Timid was being used for one hour, thirty-six minutes, and-"
"OH YEEAAAAAH!" Happy shouted while jumping in the air and giving a few fist pumps. "You heard that, Brave? Over...OVER AN HOUR AND A HALF! Now pay up!" Happy stuck out her hand in front of Brave demanding Brave to give her the money.
"Stupid-little-pinked-cloaked-over-happily-annoyance-..." Brave murmured to herself as she walked away to get the money.
"WAY TO GO, BRAVE! LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT ANOTHER SMART EMOTION HERE!" Rude shouted to Brave sarcastically. "Heh."
About a minute passed by and Brave returned with the money and gave it to Happy with force, "Here's your stupid money."
Happy started to play with her newly acquired money and then starting to talk to it. "Hello there my little green bill. You belong to me now, and we're going to have loads of fun." She continued to play with the money.
Raven tried to jump in so she can talk about the real issue, "Okay, now can we-"
"Gee Happy, you're rich," Rude said in her tone.
"You're just jealous that you don't have this," Happy said waving the twenty in front of Rude.
"Like I would be jealous of something stupid as winning some money from a bet," Rude said back to Happy.
"Whatever, Rude," and then Happy returned to play with the money.
"Whatever Rude," Rude mocked Happy.
Affection, who stood next to Raven,stared at the bill weirdly while she twirlled a part of her hair with her right index finger. She gave out a loud and happy sigh.
"What's with you?" Raven asked Affection.
"Oh...Just looking at the money."
"Why?" Raven asked in her monotone voice.
"'Cause it's green," Affection sighed when she said green.
"Aaaaaand what's so significant about the money being green, I might ask?"
"'Cause that "green little bill" right there reminds me of a certain "green little cutie" to me."
Raven blushed a little, but she also heard enough and wanted to get on for what she came here for. "Enough! Now can everyone stop what their doing, and can someone tell me what is happening with me, and why I lost control of Timid? I know that it has something to do with Beast Boy, but wh-"
"Come on now, Raven. You should know the answer to that question easily," Affection said as she walked by Raven.
"No, I don't know what the answer is, Affection. So, that's why I'm here." Raven was getting ticked off.
"Wow, and I thought that Starfire was stupid," Rage interrupted.
"SHUT IT, YOU!" Raven pointed a finger at Rude, really pissed.
Rude put her hands up in front of her and waving them making it look like that she was innocent, "Hey, I'm just saying."
Raven brought her hands to her forehead and shaking it slowly while giving a sad sigh. "This is getting nowhere."
There was a long silence until Wisdom stepped in.
"Well..." Wisdom spoke out. Raven picked her head up from her hands and saw Wisdom looking at her, "...the answer is clearly obvious, and yet you still don't know."
Raven brought one eyebrow slightly up, "What are you trying to get at?"
"Raven, you have been able to solve the hardest of questions, riddles, and other problems for your whole life, and now you can't solve this easy question, that you bring up, where the answer is directly in front of you."
Raven was pondering from what Wisdom had said to her, "The answer is directly in front of me..." Raven said quietly to herself, as she looked down in thought. 'The answer is directly in font of me? What does she mean by that?'
Few more seconds went by, and she was still thinking hard of Wisdom's words. 'I still don't get what she's trying to get here. All that I see in front of me are just my emotions. Happy...Rude...Anger...Timid...wait...that's it.' Raven finally realized it when she picked up her head and saw Timid slightly hiding behind Knowledge. "Timid!"
The sudden call of her name made Timid slightly jump, "Ummm...yes?"
Knowledge started to walk away from Timid so that Raven could come and talk to Timid. "It's ok, she just only going to ask you a few questions, that's all."
Timid nodded her head, and Raven walked to her. Raven reached to Timid and put her right arm on Timid's shoulder trying to make Timid more comfortable.
"I know how uncomfortable you are, being put in the spot like this, but I need to know, Timid. I felt you strongly when I had just found out that what I thought was Beast Boy...well...that Beast Boy's joke were only an accident, right?"
"Uhhh..." Timid gave a quick pause.
"Come on, Timid...Yes or no?"
Timid looked at the ground in embarrassment, "Yeah."
Raven nodded, "And then, because of me expressing you, I was blowing everything up around me. You were so strong that I stared to...well...," Raven stared to blush again, "...well I guess you can call it having a break down. Anyways, I tried to put you back in by meditating, but I somehow couldn't."
Timid started to scurry under her cloak thinking that Raven would yell at her, or something like that, but Raven continued to talk to Timid nicely, which stopped Timid from trying to hide.
"Every time, I tried to put you back in, but the image of what I tried to do to Beast Boy and what his reaction was when he saw me always came back to me, and your expression grew stronger and stronger because of that. So tell me...how were you able to be that strong in that type of situation? Why did I lose control of you?"
Everyone's eyes were looking at Timid, waiting for her answer. Putting her under the spotlight still made Timid really nervous and embarrassed, but she unfortunately knew that she had to answer Raven's questions.
"Well...ummm...well...Beast Boy...," Timid said as her cheeks went slightly red.
"Yes. What about him?" Raven said, urging Timid to continue.
"Well...what you did to him was really frightening. A-And now he's going to leave us, and I r-really don't want him to go, and-"
"Timid, he not going to-"
"Then tell him, Raven! Tell him!" Timid unnaturally interrupted Raven with passion behind what she was saying.
"T-Tell him what?" Raven asked nervously.
"Tell him that you...that you..." Timid gave a big gulp, "...that you love him before he hates us forever or we don't see him again."
Raven was shocked by what she just heard from Timid, and blushed deeply. "But ho-I mean I don't lo-"
"Oh come on, Raven! Don't tell me that you never ever thought about him as more than just a friend," Affection said strongly. "And don't say that you haven't, 'cause I know you have."
"Okay, fine! I sort of had thought about it a couple of times, but that doesn't mean that I love him."
"But what about all those times that he had tried to always make you happy and smile? I always thought that he was funny," said Happy.
"Yeah. And how about that he's not afraid to do anything, even though some of the stuff he does is dumb. But, he's still one of the bravest people we know," said Brave.
"I like the fact that he's very innovative with everything he does. His methods are so unorthodox and are just amaizing," said Knowledge, "And also that he wants to know us more as much as you want to know more about him."
"I hate it that we can't hate him for long," Anger said in a mean tone as she crossed her arms. "Geez I hate this mushy crap."
"He's always there for us when others' weren't, and you're always there for him," said Timid.
"He'd have his moments," said Wisdom. "Like after the Malchior incident. Remember how heart broken you were when he lied to you and used you to regain his power. And after you defeated him, you were so heart broken that you didn't want to come out at all to talk to anyone about it, or for anything else. But, then Beast Boy came to talk to you because he knew what it was like for someone to have a heart broken by someone who, he thought, cared about him also, and he wanted to get rid of that pain that you had. He spoke with so much care and compassion that I've never seen from him before. Then he said one of the wisest and most sincere things that anyone has said to you when he said that you were never alone."
"Yeah. Then you hugged him," Affection said while she was pretending to hug someone and sighed happily, "His hugs were so warm that you could just melt in them," she sighed again. "You need to hug him more often."
"Ehh...He just looks good in his uniform. What else can I say?" Rude smirked.
"And his name is so cute," Happy said as she giggled. "Garfield! What a name!"
Raven stood there silently with her mouth slightly open for what seemed like for a long time. She couldn't believe what her emotions were doing, or saying. They all told her what they liked about Beast Boy from their emotional point of view. Raven's deep blush from before became deeper and her heart was beating very fast and hard. "Beast Boy," Raven said silently, but everyone knew what she was saying.
"Looks like she finally realized it. Took her long enough. Thought that we might have had to destroy the tower to make her realize it," Rude whispered to Wisdom as Wisdom rolled her eyes. "What?"
I had that whole betting scene in my head even before this chapter was even in its writing process. So don't complain about that.
Also, I know that I slightly mentioned about Terra in this chapter and I want to make it clear that I'm not a Terra fan, nor a Terra hater...She's more of an "ehhh...whatever" character to me. I'll watch some of the episodes that she's in, but still makes me cringe when when I see the "Betrayal" episode, obvious reasons. That's all I'm saying about this issuse.
Well ch 4 is complete...ch 5 is still in the writing process, so it will take some time, and I hate that because all of you guys have to wait maybe a week or more till the next updae(hate school work/projects), hopefully chapter 5 will be complete soon. So stay in tune to this story and continue RxR. Thanks.
Ch 5 is cookin'.
