Hello everyone! Anyway, I do not own the Teen Titans. If I did, I would not be writing this, because I would be out shopping with my gazillion dollars. LoL. Please Read & Review! By the way, did you know that Ransford means 'Raven's Ford,' or 'Raven's Crossing.' I thought that was kinda cool. LoL

BB knocked quietly on Raven's door. For awhile he stood there waiting, but it didn't open. Beastboy was suddenly very curious of what Raven's room looked like. The last time he went in, he didn't have enough time to explore because he looked through the mirror and went into her mind.

Turning into a gnat, Beastboy silently flew through a small crack between the door and the wall. Getting inside, he flew onto the ceiling, just in case Raven would notice him.

Looking around, BB saw about a gazillion books, more than he had ever read and ever would. He also saw a bunch of cool trinkets and stuff.

Then he saw Raven, lying on her bed. She was holding something. Creeping along the wall, he got close enough to see. It was a paper rose. Beastboy had no idea who could have made her a paper rose. He didn't know anyone who could do Origami! How many people can do Origami! BB thought angrily.

Then he noticed that she was clutching a book, which made him remember Malchior. He suddenly remembered what he had said to Raven, about her not knowing what he was going through.

BB noticed Raven's magic mirror on her dresser. He remembered the time he and Cyborg had gone inside. It was fun meeting the other sides of Raven, that he never saw in real life. He liked Happy Raven most, because she laughed and seemed to like him more. Adventurous Raven was fun to be around, while Sad Raven made him feel guilty about ever being mean to her. He also saw Ravens that he didn't actually meet, like Brainy Raven, Grumpy Raven, Bored Raven, and a few others that he didn't know the emotion, only the colors, like Silver, Lilac, Black, Peach, Lime, White, and Violet. He didn't know what they were, but he wanted to find out.

BB glanced at Raven again. He noticed that her eyes were red and puffy. He also that most of the things in her room were broken, probably because her powers ran on emotions. He wanted to make her feel better, but knew that he couldn't. She just didn't like him, or think he was funny. She thought Malchior was though. Raven always laughed at his jokes.

BB thought about how he made other girls happy, like Starfire and... Terra. Starfire liked it when he changed into a kitten. Maybe Raven liked cats too.

He quickly flew out the window onto the ledge. He changed into a cat, and just as he was about to start meowing so she would come out, he realized he was green. Not the best disguise.

Turning into a bird, he flew over to a local CVS and bought black hair-dye. Getting home, he quickly turned into a cat and dyed his entire body black. Going back on the ledge outside, he meowed softly until Raven opened the window.

When she noticed the little black kitten, her frown lifted slightly. She picked him up and brought him into her room.

"Here kitty, kitty." she said, offering him some catfood. GROSS, BB thought, eating the catfood. When I get back into my room, I am gargling like CRAZY!

Sitting on her bed and putting BB on her lap, Raven took out a letter and began to read it, stroking him behind the ears. BB strained his neck, trying to read it.

Dear Raven,

I have wanted to see you again for some time, and I believe the chance has come up. I am visiting your city this week. Perhaps we can meet up at the pizzeria you have told me about. Please meet me there at 6:00 tommorow.

Much Love,

Ransford

BB blinked. He had never imagined that Raven had a penpal. Maybe there were lots of things that Raven had never told them.

Raven sat up, rubbing her temples. She looked down at him, and said in a fake sing-song voice, "Well, kitty cat, what do you think I should do, hmm?" She stroked him under the chin, making him purr. "I suppose I'll have to sneak out. The other Titans would never trust him after what happened with Terra." She lay down on her pillow. "Say, should I name you? I think so. How about..." she looked down at him, thinking of names. "Shadow. What do you think?" He nuzzled her hand, showing his approval. Her mouth twitched, like she was about to smile. "Shadow it is." She closed her eyes, and within minutes she was sleeping.

BB slowly got up and crept out of her room.
