"Got any fours?" Asked Cyborg in a monotone.
"Nope! Got any eight's?" Asked an overly excited Beast Boy.
"Aw man…here." Said Cyborg as he handed Beast Boy his eight.
"Ya! Go Beast Boy! It's your birth…what's the matter Robin?" Beast Boy asked.
"Come see the pool!" Robin yelled, out of breath.
"Why? I thought they were just doing the electrical junk tonight." Cyborg stated.
"There are! But it's fascinating! Come see!" Robin said.
"But…no, it's just wires and stuff." Beast Boy said.
"JUST…COME…SEE…IT…" Robin commanded through clenched teeth.
"I still don't see the point." Cyborg replied.
"Ha! Dude, you just sounded like Raven!" Beast boy joked.
"I don't have time for this!" Robin yelled as he left the kitchen.
"What was that all about?" Cyborg asked?
Beast Boy shrugged.
"Where are Beast Boy and Cyborg? Do they not wish to view the whimsical wires?" Starfire asked.
"I told you…" Robin started, not wanting to sound too angry with Starfire, "That they wouldn't come. Here on earth, seeing big ol' fat guys trying to fit a stinkin' wire through a tiny hole isn't amusing. We watch football instead, or hockey. Just not this! Ok?"
Starfire's face dropped. "Are you 'making the fun' with me?"
"What? No! Of course not!" Robin was shocked she would even think that. "I'm just trying to teach you. Now come on, let's go see who's winning, it's the Steelers verse the Cardinals." And he took her hand and led her back into the tower.
"Now all you have to do is pull the reigns to whatever side you want the horse to turn. Get it? Good. Now, don't stick your legs into it too much, or it'll get annoyed and go as fast as its legs'll carry'em, k?"
Raven nodded as she listened Marrni ramble on and on about how to ride Chocolate. She tried to show no emotion, like she was a pro at doing, but deep down, she was petrified. She didn't know the first thing about riding a horse. She continued to nod until Marrni finally shut-up, than she jumped onto the horse.
At first it was awkward, but Raven quickly got used to it. She did as Marrni told her and pulled on the reigns, and Chocolate began a slow trot, right beside Sheila. They were just about to go into the trail, and Raven thought everything was going all right until-
SMACK!
With that, Chocolate went berserk. Raven just barley noticed Cleo run off, with a stick in her hand. She had just smacked Chocolate in the hind, and now he was going crazy. Raven was holding on for her dear life as the horse bounced mercilessly on all four of its legs. It then began to run at a lightning pace, and Raven, growing more and more sick as she bounced up and down, watched the blur of trees sped by her face.
Chocolate then came to a sudden stop, and Raven breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she thought it was over, Chocolate began to lurch right and left and back again, as if he was trying to launch Raven off his back. Raven had the biggest urge to just fly of his back, but decided not to use her powers in front of Marrni. So instead, she just tightened her grip on the wild horse's reign, and prayed not to be thrown off.
Too late. Chocolate finally lost is last nerve. He bent down so low that Raven thought she was going to slide down his neck and off his head. But at the last second, he shot upward and Raven soared high into the air, and before she could use her powers to stop her fall, she landed face fist into a tree, than fell like a dead bird onto the ground.
She was out cold. She woke up about ten minuets later, and found Marrni beside her. She noticed she was still in the forest. She groaned and sat up.
"What happened?" She asked, rubbing her forehead.
Marrni stared. "Well, you kinda got thrown off of Chocolate, than you landed in that tree," She pointed to a very tall oak, "Than you just sort of fell off of it. All I heard was this loud 'BOOM!' I thought to died you somethin'… are you ok?"
"I will be. How about we go back inside now, ok?" Raven said.
Marrni nodded. "I just need to go put the horses away. You can just meet me inside."
"Sure." Raven said, and limped past the stable and the pool until she reached the back door.
She walked inside and started looking for the bathroom. She finally found it, then went inside and locked the door. She stared at her self in the mirror. Her hair was a complete mess, and she had a massive lump on her forehead. Not to mention many cuts and scraps all over her face.
"Great…" she said as she turned on the faucet and began to wet her face.
When she was done, she opened the door and was greeted by a massive Siberian husky. Raven jumped and she felt her heart stop. She just stared as the dog sniffed her feet, then walked the other way. Raven felt her pulse again, just as Marrni walked inside.
"You have a dog too?" asked Raven.
"Ya, two of them. The husky named Yuki and a Doberman named Killer. But Killer's a guard dog. He's vicious, so we keep in outside. Don't worry 'bout Yuki though. He's harmless." Marrni said.
Ya, Raven thought to herself, Just like Chocolate was harmless too.
Marrni was just about to go show Raven her room when the doorbell rang.
"I'LL GET IT!" Marrni yelled at the top of her lungs.
Raven followed Marrni to open the door. Standing there was a little Asian man.
"Your food ma'am." He said as he held out two paper bags.
"Thank you." Marrni said as she grabbed the bags and gave them to Raven, than gave the man a credit card. After Marrni signed, the man left.
"Let's eat!" Marrni shouted. She led Raven back into the kitchen, where she placed the bags on the counter and began to fetch some plates and glasses.
When the table was set, Marrni left the kitchen to go get Cleo. The sisters returned, and they all sat down to enjoy their Chinese food.
Raven was halfway through an egg roll when Marrni said, "I know you slapped Chocolate, Cleo! You almost killed Raven."
"Listen, I know my plan didn't work, but you don't half to rub it in." Cleo answered.
"What do'ya mean?" asked Marrni.
"What I mean is that I ALMOST killed Raven. I didn't really kill her. My plan failed." Cleo stated.
"You mean…" Marrni started.
"YES! I MEAN RAVEN WAS SUPPOESED TO DIE!" Cleo shouted.
Raven pretended not to care as she listened to these two girls discuss her would have been death, but deep down, she was sickened that this ten year girl had plotted to kill her. She tuned out of the conversation, but her trance was ended with a nudge. She snapped back into reality, and noticed Cleo was nudging her.
"Marrni was right, I'm sorry I did that to you. Do you forgive me?" Cleo asked.
Raven sighed. "Ya, ok." She said.
"Can I have a hug?" Cleo asked.
"Why not?" Raven replied.
She bent down and gave Cleo a hug. However, she didn't even notice the chicken balls Cleo dropped into her hood. But Yuki did, and he was just staring Raven down, waiting for the perfect moment to get the food. Raven stood up and straightened out her cape. She turned around and saw Yuki just gazing at her, his mouth leaking drool.
"Is he alright?" Raven asked.
"Oh ya, he's just hungry." Marrni answered.
Raven nodded. She went to sit back down, when she was knocked to the floor. She was face up, and Yuki was right on top of her, standing on her chest. He was a fairly large dog, and Raven had the wind knocked out of her when he pounced on her. Raven didn't know what he was doing, until he started reaching for the hood of her cape. She felt his hot smelly breath on her face, and she was certain her hair was full of drool. She tried as hard as she could to push the dog off, but he wouldn't move.
Meanwhile, back at the tower, the Pittsburgh Steelers were winning the football game.
"YAAAAA!" Robin cheered loudly as the Steelers got another touchdown.
"Dude, why do you like the Steelers so much? I mean, they're not even that good." Beast Boy said.
Robin's eye twitched
"I don't know, I always liked them." Robin answered, not wanting to start a fight.
Beast Boy shrugged and waited for his popcorn to pop. When was done, he put it in a bowl, and sat down on the couch beside Robin.
"Where's Cyborg?" Robin asked, "He'd never miss a football game."
"Oh, I think he's with Starfire." Beast Boy said.
"Really," said Robin, "What are they doing?"
"I think he's showing her how to use the Internet, or at least that's what he told me."
"Oh." Robin said, not really sounding convinced.
"Beast Boy, I taught her how to use it last week!" Robin exclaimed.
The two boys looked at each other, their faces full of suspicion.
