Chapter 23-White Water Rafting Part Two

"Raven!" Beast Boy shouted. He was about to jump in the water when Robin stopped him. "Don't! There's no sign of her! Let Aqualad clear up the water first!" Beast Boy glared at him. "I'm not waiting that long!" He shouted, "You would do the same for Star!" And with that, the changeling dived into the water. He forced himself to open his eyes. The current was dragging him really fast. He saw a rock and quickly grabbed onto it. He morphed into a fish and began looking around. It was hard to fight the current, though. "Where is she?" Beast Boy thought, "Please be okay, Raven! Please be okay! I'm coming for you!" He morphed back into a human and began to swim around. He noticed that a small waterfall was coming up and he quickly morphed back into a fish, preparing for the fall. Then, he noticed a piece of a dark blue cloak. He swam over to it and picked it up. "Raven," he thought. He closed his eyes and his teeth clenched. He was going to find her. He had too. He morphed into a smaller fish to try and get more speed. He tried to get a good look at all the blurry sights around him due to the fast current and water. As everything was going by so fast, he touched a long blue, flowing cape. Getting a good look, he noticed the being had violet hair and pale skin. Very quickly, he morphed back into a human and grabbed the cloak with his hand. He brought her body close to him and hugged her. "Now all I have to do is get to the surface!"

"Do you see anything!" Terra yelled. The titans were trying to find their friends but it was really difficult. "Perhaps I should see from the skies?" Starfire asked. Without warning and with all the titans watching, Robin wrapped his arms around her and kissed her straight on the lips. It lasted about two seconds before he pulled away. "Be careful," he told her. Starfire nodded and flew up. She flew faster then the boat when an idea hit her. "I have to help my friends," she thought, "then I shall find Beast Boy and Raven." She flew down to the boat and dived under the water. "Starfire!" Robin shouted. All of a sudden, Starfire lifted the boat into the air and set it down at shore. Then she flew away to search for her friends again. "Please be okay," Robin whispered.

Beast Boy tried to get to shore, but it was hard while holding an unconscious girl in his arms. If he morphed, he'd probably drop her straight down into the water again. As if by miracle he heard a voice. "Beast Boy!" Starfire shouted. Beast Boy smiled. Hopefully, they were going to be saved. "STARFIRE!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. Starfire heard and quickly looked around the river. Then, she saw Beast Boy waving his hand trying to get her attention. She dived down and the two grasped hands. Beast Boy smiled at her. "Thanks," he said. "You are very welcome, friend!" Starfire exclaimed.

Back where Starfire left the titans, Robin heard her name being shouted like that. "Is she okay? What happened?" Then, he heard the titans all exclaiming at one time and Bumblebee grabbed his arm. "They're back! They're okay!" She exclaimed. Starfire landed Beast Boy onto the round before lowering herself. But as soon as her feet touched the ground, she was wrapped up into someone's arms. Robin was holding her. "Thank goodness," he said. Starfire blushed. "I had no idea that he got this worried," she thought. The other titans stared at the two. Some with smiles and some with looks of confusion. Starfire's face grew redder. "Uh..." She began, but then Robin pulled away. He stared at her for what seemed like hours. "Is he...going to kiss me again?" Starfire thought. But then, Robin's attention diverted to Raven.

"Is she all right, Beast Boy?" Robin asked walking over to them. "I'm not sure," Beast Boy began, "her heart's still beating and everything but..." Tears were welling up into the green boy's eyes. "If anything bad happens to her, it's all my fault," he thought, "I swore to myself that I was always going to protect her. If I can't keep that promise...I really am pathetic." Starfire placed her hand on his shoulder. "Everything is going to be okay," she told him. Beast Boy looked from Starfire to the unconscious girl in his arms. "I hope so," he thought.

Later on, the titans were all outside the T.V with a campfire going. Beast Boy insisted that he and Raven should be left alone. The flames bounced in everyone's eyes. Bumblebee rested on Cyborg's shoulder. "I really hope she's gonna be all right," Bumblebee said. "We all do," Terra chimed. "Look," Cyborg began, "let's not get all sad and dramatic here! Raven is going to be okay! Why don't we all try to think of something of more on the humorous side to say?" The titans nodded. "Yeah," Aqualad started, "I think we could all use a good laugh now." The titans all smirked at Robin, remembering his kiss. Robin looked all of them. "Why is everybody looking at me like that?" He asked. The titans smirked at each other before all shouting out "ROBBIE'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND!" Starfire giggled as Robin crouched down and blushed furiously.

Beast Boy lay Raven down on one of the beds and watched her. He wouldn't be able to live if she was gone. "Why did it have to be you?" He asked. "Is this the price that Robin was always talking about when you fall in love with someone? That if something bad was to ever happen to them you wouldn't be able to live? Now I know how Robin feels. The reason why Robin won't tell Starfire his feelings for her is because he's...afraid. Afraid of her being hurt. Now I understand. I always thought it was because he was way too shy, and even though he is, the real reason behind it all is that he's scared. And now I'm scared, Raven." Beast Boy gently held her hand. His eyes glimmered and tears began to form in his eyes. "I'm scared that you're not gonna make it through this. Sometimes...I regret being a hero. Because of things like this. But I'm...I'm glad that I met you, Raven. You really showed me what love and betrayal is. I never thought that you would return my feelings, though." He placed a hand on one of her cheeks. "I wish you would say a stupid sarcastic remark right about now. Please...please wake up!"

"Aw," Terra began, "little Robbie has finally grown up! How long have you two been lip-locking behind our backs?" Starfire giggled. "Only a few days," Starfire began, "when I got bit by that rattlesnake, basically. I guess that old woman was right," Starfire finished. "What old lady?" Cyborg asked. "Right about what?" Starfire looked at him. "Her people were selling good luck turtles. She gave me one that said it would help with my love." She showed everyone the turtle around her neck. "And the whole time Robin and I told each other how we felt and..." she blushed, "kissed," she finished, "the turtle was around my neck the whole time!" She exclaimed. "God, damn it!" Speedy shouted, "we're already way past the four corners! Those turtles could have been my chance at winning over a girl's affection! Starfire, think I could use yours?" His hand touched her right above where her breasts where. Everyone besides Robin had anime sweatdrops. Robin stood up and punched him out.

Beast Boy sighed. It seemed like she was never going to wake up. But, he wasn't going to give up! More tears formed though as he thought of all the good times the two had shared.

"I said that you were never alone, and then you actually hugged me. But, I let you down, Raven. And I just hope you can forgive me." Before he walked out the door, he heard a soft, gentle voice.

"What are you talking about? Of course I'll forgive you."
