Ok y'all I've heard that we're not allowed to reply in the chapters anymore so I guess I wont…. Even though it makes me really sad, because I love replying to all the reviews.
But just a little shout-out to raven'smylife for giving me the great idea of changing part of the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer song. It's really funny! I love it!
ChApPiE 10 An Old Friend and Mother/Daughter BondingJournal,
Ahhhhhhhhhh! I'm so excited! I haven't seen him in over 3 years. It's so great to see him again! You don't know who I'm talking about to you? Well let me start from the beginning. Now where did I leave off? Oh yes…
Me: "I've missed you too Mammah!"
I hugged my mother for what seemed like forever. Then I remembered I needed to introduce my friends.
Me: "Mammah, I'd like to introduce you to my friends… Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire, princess of Tamaran, Terra, Jinx, and I believe you remember Wonder."
Wonder: "hi, Mrs. Roth."
Mother: "hello Wonder. Hello Friends of Raven."
Me: "and guys, I'd like to introduce you to my mom."
They all just stared at me with wide eyes, except for Wonder because she already knew.
BB: "so if your mom's the Queen then that means that you're the…"
Robin: "princess?…"
Me: (a bit nervous now) um… ya. Did I forget to mention that to y'all?"
Jinx: "um… YES! And we thought we were your friends. Gosh!"
I knew she was just kidding though. You could tell by her joking smile.
Mother: "well, now that we're all introduced, there's someone that just arrived about an hour ago for you Rae. He says he's a dear friend of yours."
Me: "well, who could that b……"
I was cut off as a zwoosh was heard behind us. We all turned around to see what made the noise.
Zwoosh
There it was again but coming from where we had just been looking before we turned to see what made the previous zwoosh-ing noise.
Zwoosh
This one went right in front of me and turned me around. When I had finally stopped spinning I looked down to see a pink rose in my hand. This could only mean one thing. But it couldn't be… I hadn't… not in ages… could he?…
Voice: "long time no see, huh Rae?"
I turned around to see. Leaning against a pillar with his arms and legs crossed was…
Me: "KID FLASH!"
I ran across the room to him. Ugh! No way! It wasn't him, was it? I hadn't seen him for at least 3 years. But there he was. One of my best friends in the whole wide world was right there.
I ran up and gave him a full-frontal hug. He put his arms around me and spun me around like a big brother would. Wow! He had really changed. He was a lot taller that I remembered him and he had definitely matured. He was really built now too. Like no kidding. I've gotta admit, he was pretty darn hott.
He finally stopped spinning me around and I let him go.
Me: "wow! I haven't seen you in ages. You've really changed."
Flash: "you've changed too Rae. You've gotten way prettier than when I last saw you; and that's saying something."
He smiled his trademark smile at me.
Me: "oh you never give up do you?"
Flash: "nope."
Me: "ugh. The same ol' Kid Flash I remember. So how've things been going?"
Flash: "really well. I've gone solo now."
Me: "really. Separated from the great and powerful Flash now have we?"
Flash: "yup. And I see you've joined a new team."
Me: "oh right let me introduce you."
I grabbed his hand and pulled him over to where all my friends were staring confusedly at me.
Me: "guys this is Kid Flash; Flash, this is Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire, Wonder, again whom I believe you remember, Terra, and Jin…"
Flash: "JINX! No way! I see you've quit the H.I.V.E five, or more like 6, but I guess they're 5 now that you've left."
Jinx: (blushing and looking down at the ground) "ya. Things just weren't working out. You were right (see looked up) they didn't listen to me."
Me: (now really really confused) "y…you guys know each other?"
Flash: "yup. Back when y'all were fighting the Brotherhood of Evil and she was still a bad guy and all."
Jinx: nodded her head
Me: "oh, well, that's cool then… sooo……"
Mother: "what about I show you where your rooms are so that you can unpack and rest a while before dinner."
Me: "sure. That sounds like a good idea."
Mother got down from the throne platform and led us all to the entrance hall. She led the way as we went towards the stairs and the rooms. BB and Cy were looking very interestedly at everything, Wonder was telling all the girls about some of the incidents that happened in some of the rooms, and Jinx and Kid Flash were talking coughcoughFLIRTINGcoughcough in the back.
Robin: (catching up with me) "why didn't you tell us you were a princess?"
Me: "you never asked."
Robin: "Raven…."
Me: "well, I thought you guys would laugh at me. I mean, y'all don't really know me as the 'princess' type."
Robin: "I guess you're right, but I wouldn't have laughed at you. I think it's cool and all."
Me: "ya, sure. You're just saying that to make me feel better."
Robin: "no I'm not! I really mean it!"
Me: "sure you do Robin."
Robin: "I d…"
Wonder: "OOER! And that's the room where I walked in on Raven and Kid Flash making-out after the Christmas party."
I nearly fell down with the shock of it all. The whole group went really quiet and everyone stopped in their tracks. Robin's eyes popped open and so did Jinx's. Terra, Beast Boy, and Cy were giggling, well not actually giggling because guys don't actually giggle, but like I don't know the male version of giggling so ya… they were giggling; and Flash was staring at me with an 'I don't know what to do. Help me!' look on his face. Thanks Wonder. And right in front of my mom too. Thanks. I sent her a death ray.
Wonder: "woops! Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that. Shutting up now."
Robin: "y…you and… and… k…k…id… fl…"
Me: "we were dating at the time." I said that really quickly. Flash nodded in response.
Jinx: "you two d…d…dated?"
Flash: "ya."
Me: "for… 7 months. But that was a long time ago."
Flash: "ya. I really long time ago."
Me: "ya. We're just really good friends now, right?"
Flash: "ya. Just good friends, that's right Ravey-Gravey."
He realized what he'd just said and slapped his forehead. BB, Cy, Terra, Star, and Wonder all giggled.
Robin and Jinx together: " Ravey-Gravey?"
Me: (hissing through my teeth at him) "not a good time for the pet name!"
Jinx: "you still use your pet name for her!"
Flash: (getting really red and flustered now) "no, no, I don't. really. I have proof. Help me out here Wonder-Cakes!"
Not a good move Flash, not a good move.
Jinx: "WONDER-CAKES! Are you gonna tell me that you went out with her too?"
Flash: "only for a month!"
It's like watching a train wreck, very slowly.
Jinx: "ONLY A MONTH! You are such a little player! I can't believe you!"
With that, she turned around, hitting him in the face with her ponytail, and walked to the other side of the group away from him.
Mother: "um…. These are your rooms. Boy's you'll be on this side of the hall, girls on this side. Raven, Wonder, you'll get your old rooms. Get settled. Dinner is in an hour and a half."
Jinx stormed into her room and closed the door behind her.
Cy: "I call this room."
BB: "no fair, I wanted that room!"
Everyone else picked their own rooms, and Wonder went to go comfort Jinx. It was only Kid Flash and I left in the hallway.
Me: "I'm… sorry about all the trouble this has caused. I'll go and talk to her later."
Flash: (looking at the door that hid him from Jinx) "sure… whatever… thanks Rae."
I walked into my room and watched him just standing there, saddened and dejected. It's one of the only times I've seen Kid Flash that upset. At last I saw him take a red rose out of his pocket and leave it at the door and walk off to his own room.
I looked around my room. It was just how I remembered it. There was a giant bed against the right wall with four golden posts and a dark blue canopy. The sheets were different shades of dark blue with magenta pillows. There was an elaborate glass door that led to the balcony against the farthest wall and a sitting area in one corner and a huge mahogany and gold encrusted wardrobe for all the formal dresses and the door to the huge walk-in closet on the opposite wall. And of course painted against the wall with the door was a huge dark blue raven. (A/N: think of the shape of Raven's soul-self.)
Me: "I guess it's time to unpack!"
I was almost finished unpacking when there was a knock on my door.
Me: "come in."
It was Jinx.
Jinx: "hey raven, can I talk to you?"
Me: "sure. What about?"
Jinx: "um… about… Kid Flash…"
I should have guessed that's what she wanted to talk about.
Me: "look, Jinx. We dated a really long time ago. We've both gotten over it. We seriously are just good friends now. And the same goes for Wonder. They actually went out before I went out with him."
Jinx: "ya, I know. Wonder told me. I just don't know. I mean he's dated so many people that I don't want to be just any other girl he gets."
Me: "you don't have to worry about that. He's a really good guy. And I think you're getting the wrong impression of him. He and Wonder went out when they were 12 years old. And I went out with him when I was 14 when we were a team together. And we are the only two girlfriends he's ever had in his life. So he's not some kind of pimp or anything."
Jinx: "but he's always flirting with girls and all these girls like him and…"
Me: "but he's never actually liked them. He's just playing along. And come on! What would any other hormonal teenage boy do? Just look at Beast Boy for God's sake!"
Jinx: "I guess you're right."
Me: "and after you stormed off, I've never seen him look that sad in his life."
Jinx: "I guess I really should apologize. I was kinda over-reacting."
Me: "well, save it 'til later because dinner is in like 10 minutes."
She left and I started getting ready for dinner.
Dinner was really good. But what really made the show was Jinx finally apologizing to Flash. Here's what happened.
Nothing really was happening and it was really kinda quiet because everyone was watching Jinx and Flash who were sitting across from each other. Jinx was ignoring him, and he was looking at her sadly. Dinner was turkey and mashed potatoes and corn and all those other turkey side dishes. Kid Flash was the first to break the silence.
Flash: "hey Raven, pass the gravy please."
He noticed a second too late that it was the wrong thing to say.
Jinx: "Gawd, rub it in why don't you. Why don't you just run off to your little closet and make-out with her and just leave me alone already!"
She excused herself and stormed out of the dining hall. But just as she was about to reach the door, Kid Flash ran up in front of her and blocked her path.
Jinx: "would you move already!"
Flash: "no, I don't think I will." His trademark smile was out again for the first time since their argument started.
Jinx: "and why not?"
Flash: (pointed to something above their heads) "look."
Jinx: (looking up) "mistletoe. So what?"
Flash: "so it means I owe you a kiss."
Jinx: "dream on lover bo…"
She had looked down from the mistletoe to see Kid Flash standing in front of her with a Hershey's kiss in his out-stretched hand.
Jinx looked from the kiss in his hand to his face, which was in its usual smile.
Flash: "a peace offering."
She gave him a soft smile and then grabbed the back of his head with her hand and kissed him. His eyes bugged out for a second but then he put his arms around her waist. After what seemed like forever, they broke apart. Both smiled at each other.
Mother: "well, now that that problem is solved, I guess we can eat a tension-free meal now."
journal,
ok, so I was sitting in my room getting ready for bed when there's a knock at my door.
Me: "come in."
The door opens and it's mother.
Mother: "hello Raven. Do you mind if we catch up on stuff?"
Me: "oh, Oh no. of course. Come in."
She sits down on my bed across from me and we start to talk."
Me: "so what did you want to talk about?"
Mother: "everything. Tell me about all your new friends, all the gossip. You know…that kind of stuff."
Me: "ok. First there's Starfire. She's the princess of Tamaran, but we didn't know that for a really long time. she was the only other girl on the team for a really long time. She's kinda ditsy and really girly. She went out with Robin for like a year and a half. Then there's Terra. She randomly came and then she randomly left. Then she randomly came back but randomly joined our enemy and betrayed us. But then she randomly went good again and even more randomly turned to stone. Then she all of the sudden randomly came back to life and is dating Beast Boy.
Mother: "wow! So I guess she's kinda random?"
Me: "ya. You could say so."
Mother: "well tell me more."
Me: "well there's Jinx, who used to be a bad guy but then turned good because of Kid Flash and now apparently they're dating. Then there's Cyborg, or Cy. He's kinda like a big brother figure to all of us because he's older and all that jazz. He's like obsessed with his car and mechanical stuff like that. Then there's Beast Boy, or BB. He's really funny, but I won't tell him that because he would totally get all full of himself and stuff. I used to have an itty-bitty little crush on him when Terra first came around and I was really jealous, but I don't like him anymore.
Mother: "well, now what about that Robin fellow?"
Me: "well, Robin is our leader. He gets totally obsessed about some criminals and he's kinda hard-core and all that. But he's really sweet and nice and caring and… well, he's pretty fricken hott!"
Mother: "hmmmm. I seee… but do you like him?"
Me: "well, ya. I mean he's one of my best friends isn't he?"
Mother: "you know what I mean."
Dang. She's figured me out. No way to beat around the bush this time.
Me: "well… yes…"
Mother: "I knew it! You two look so cute together. You really do."
Well that was completely in the norm and all…. I didn't expect that coming from my mother.
Me: "um… thank you?"
Mother: "yes, you should do anything in your power to get him, if that's what you want, honey."
Me: "wow, mammah this is really unexpected. Especially coming from you."
Mother: "I know. Now I should leave so that you can get some rest. You're gonna need to be fully awake for the party tomorrow. Night Rae."
Me: "night Mammah."
OK, just so that no one's confused I wrote out the whole history of like Raven and Wonder and Kid Flash, because it even confuses me sometimes.
Raven and Wonder grew up on Azarath together in the Palace. But Wonder went to Earth for a while on a secret mission to scout out the place that Raven was gonna destroy. On her little mission, she met Kid Flash and they dated for a month. (I mean they were 12 at the time and she was only gonna be there for a short time, how long could the thing last anyway?) But she came back to Azarath. When Raven went to Earth, she met up with Kid Flash because Wonder had made the arrangements, so they were a team for some time and dated for 7 months. While they were dating she took him to Azarath to introduce him to her mother. But soon after their break up, their team (which was just them two) split up too. She joined the Titans and y'all know the story from there.
Well, I hope y'all liked it! And I hope the summary of Raven/wonder/kid flash helped a little bit.
PLEASE REVIEW AND I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER!
