Chapter 8:

Raven turned on her side, in her new attempt to get the dog off her. This only resulted in more pain on her part. Yuki shifted all of his weight on her ribcage, and Raven found it hard to breathe. Now she defiantly felt mounds of drool in her hair, and the back of her neck kept getting little bites as the dog still reaches for her hood. Raven heard Yuki snapping his jaws, and was certain that the back of her cape was ruined. Finally, Yuki bit too hard into Raven's cape that he also bit some of her back. That's when Raven lost it. She created an energy ball around herself, and then sent Yuki flying. All she heard was Yuki whimpering in pain, and Cleo and Marrni gasping.

Raven put her hand to the back of her neck, and when she looked at it, it was full of blood. She marched right back to the washroom, and took a good look at herself in the mirror. Her hair was sticking out at different angles, and was a complete disaster. She took off her cape and examined it. The back was completely torn, and the hood was being held on by a couple of strings. That's when she noticed a half eaten chicken ball sticking out.

"Sooo…remind me again why we're here." Beast Boy said.

"Sshhh-sshh!" Robin said, swatting Beast Boy across the head.

"Ow!" Beast Boy said as he winced in pain, "Why'd you do that?"

"Would you shut up!" Robin implored.

"But…I don't get it!" Beast Boy whined.

Robin covered his mouth and pulled him into the changing room, right beside the training room.

"I'm only gonna say this once, so pay attention." Robin stated.

Beast Boy nodded.

"Ok, I just want to know what Cyborg and Starfire are really doing. Is that such a crime?" Robin started.

Beast Boy cocked an eyebrow.

"Why do'ya care though? I mean, do you really think-oh! I get it!" Beast Boy said, his eyes growing wide in realization. "Your jealous, aren't you?" He finished, while pointing an accusing finger at Robin.

"WHAT! No way! I mean come on! Just because Cyborg gets to spend time with Starfire…alone…" Robin's eye twitched. "I'm just…curious! Ya, that works! I'm curious alright?"

"Well, I guess it's kinda suspicious that Cyborg would lie about what they were really doing…" Beast Boy started.

"Yes! That's the spirit. Now be quiet, I think they're in the training room." Robin finished.

Raven was fuming. She burst out of the washroom, picked up the two girls with two separate energy balls and dropped them onto the couch.

"Which one of you," She paused for a second, still breathing very hard, "Was smart enough to put a chicken ball into my hood?" She finished, and then threw the remainder of the chicken ball at Cleo's head, not even waiting to hear who would confess.

"Owww! I'm telling my mommy when she comes home!" Cleo shouted as she burst into tears than ran out of the room.

"You think I care? You spoiled little brat! Do you actually think I want to come back here?" Raven spat at her.

At this, Marrni shook her head. "Raven no! I don't want you to leave!" She said, her bottom lip trembling.

Raven stared at her. "Don't worry, I'm not leaving."

"Yeah! Ok, come on! Lets go do something! Lets go see my room!" Marrni suggested.

Raven sighed. She was amazed at how much this girl actually thought she cared about her room, but Raven went anyway.

Raven was surprised when she entered Marrni's room. Compared to the size of the house, Marrni's room wasn't the size of a miniature castle. In fact, it was probably only a smudge bigger than Raven's. It was the decorations and furniture, however, which made it seem like a castle. A huge round bed was pushed to one side, just beside huge windows that looked over their pool. There was a couch in front of a plasma TV, with surround sound. There was a beautiful desk that was so organized; it made Robin look like a slob. On the desk sat a flat screen computer, an iPod, a PSP, and all sorts of other expensive gadgets. Grand bookshelves lined the walls, and her walk in closet was stuffed fill with clothing and other little nick-knacks.

Raven must have had a dazed look on her face, because Marrni said, "What? You don't like it?"

"No!" Raven replied, "It's beautiful."

"Oh, good!" Marrni said with a smile, "I'll show you my baby pictures!"

Robin and Beast Boy stayed behind the door, and peered through the little opening. What they saw was very disturbing indeed.

Cyborg was nowhere to be seen, but it appeared that they had moved all the weights and training instruments to the side of the room. In the centre of the room was an extremely long rectangle, taped onto the floor. At the beginning of the rectangle was a curtain that hung down from the pole where the Titans did chin-ups. There was a fast-beat song playing, and Starfire was standing in four-inch stilettos, with her arms crossed, as if she were waiting for something.

It soon became apparent what she was waiting for.

Meanwhile, Raven was practically snoring by the time Marrni shut the third consecutive photo album.

"And that concludes my third Christmas." She said as she snapped the book shut. At this, Raven jerked back up.

"Now, onto my New Years Eve Party as a three year old." Marrni said as she picked up a thick, black book. Raven sighed. How many pictures did this family take?

"You know what," Raven began, "Why don't we go do something else?"

Marrni thought about this for a second. "Wanna go play pool?" She asked.

Raven nodded. "Ya, sure why not?"

(A.N.- I just want to warn you, that I know nothing about billiards, so if things don't sound right, please bear with me! Thanks!)

The two girls finally reached the game room, and Raven waited as Marrni fixed the triangle with the billiard balls. She then handed Raven a stick, and she began waxing it.

"I'm just gonna warn you, I'm good." Marrni stated.

Raven rolled her eyes. Little did people know that she was also good at billiards, like she was good at chess. She might not have been a star athlete, but when it came to logical games, she was a master.

Raven went first. She hit the ball, and all the others separated from the triangle, into different spaces on the board. Raven smirked. She had just set up a perfect move.

Then Marrni went, but none of her balls got into the pockets. Raven went again, she lined up her stick with the ball, thought of a plan in her head, and two balls went perfectly in to the pockets.

Marrni's mouth dropped open. She had just met her match.

Back at Titans Tower, Robin and Beast Boy had just found put what Starfire was waiting for.

All of a sudden they heard a voice that sounded like Cyborg's say "5…6…5,6,7,8! At this, Starfire perked up, and stared at the curtain. Robin and Beast Boy decided to focus their attention on the curtain as well.

What's gonna come out of the curtain? Will Raven beat Marrni at pool? Does Cleo have another scheme up her sleeve? Stay tuned to find out!
