A/N: Thank you all of the reviews, and speaking of them,happy 100 reviews everyone! The hundredth reviewer was Half-Gothic Chick, so congrats on that. XD My favorite scene from the last chapter was the BB/Rob moment. This chapter has Cyborg and Beast Boy mostly, but Raven is in here a little.

Chapter Ten: Search

Most of Robin's confrontations didn't usually bother Raven, but being seen as careless by him sure did.

While meditating that morning after practice, Raven sat cross legged on the window sill, thinking about Robin's words the night before. He was right; that book did seem to be taking a lot of time from her, and she couldn't deny that she was slightly being careless.

But you could say the same for Starfire, she thought. School's been taking up most of her time.

That was true.

Raven opened her eyes from meditation and picked up the popular book between herself and the youngest Titan from beside her. The story told within it seemed to get longer everyday, just because Beast Boy wanted to read it with her. Raven flipped to the chapter where they left off, where Darcy became sick with influenza. She wasn't able to communicate with her family or friends for a little while, and had a semi-quick recovery. Of course, Lorenzo tried to get to her and take care of her while she was sick. Raven wondered that if she were to get sick, would Beast Boy try to take care of her in the same way as well.

She was sure the possibility was likely. It was likely in a scary sort of way, because she began to realize strange similarities that related to her own life in various sections that she had read with Beast Boy.

The moments between Darcy and Lorenzo actually began to confuse her. Romantic or not, they was so analogous to herself and the changeling, that she was in awe as she read it. Did the author mean to do it on purpose, or just a coincidence?

Raven recollected every single moment that she had had with Beast Boy in the past few weeks. Most of them were similar to Darcy and Lorenzo. As a matter of fact, each thing that happened to her and Beast Boy had happened right after they had read about Darcy and Lorenzo having a similar situation. Raven wasn't sure if she wanted to read the book anymore because of this, but a strange longing within her wished to keep on reading it, just to see what would happen next.

Raven closed the book, and stood up to set it in her drawer. She needed to think about it more before she continued reading with him, and it was possible to take a while.

A knock sounded on her door after she did so, and immediately she knew who it was.

When Raven opened the door, it revealed Beast Boy.

"Hey, Raven," he greeted, "I was wondering if we could hang out…with that book. I mean. I haven't seen you all day."

Raven shook her head. "No, not today."

"Why not?" Beast Boy asked, with a hint of disappointment in his question. He seemed surprised as well.

"I lost it," Raven simply said. Part of her wanted to scream. Why was she lying to him all of a sudden? Because that book might foreshadow something else between them?

"You lost it?" he asked, confused. "You rarely ever lose stuff."

Raven groaned. "I know. I—I already tried looking for it in here, so don't bother."

"Oh...ok. You sure you don't even need anymore help looking for it?"

"No. I'm starting to feel a little sick anyway," Raven truthfully told him. She had a sinking feeling that the lie was making her sick.

"All right. I hope you feel better," Beast Boy said, as he slowly turned from her door.

"Me too," Raven said to him. "I'm sorry," she added softly.

oOo

Beast Boy was determined to find that book. Although it had no author, no title, and no picture, he was sure it had to be somewhere out in the big city.

The public library was the first place that came to his mind. It had lots and lots of books, so as much as he wanted to check there, he definitely did not want to go alone. So, the next thing he knew he was facing Cyborg, who was cleaning 'his baby', getting ready to ask him to join him in the search for the book.

"What do you want?" Cyborg asked him, while on his third round of scrubbing the wheels of the car.

"I need you to do me a favor," Beast Boy responded, nervously wringing his hands.

Cyborg looked up at him, uncertain.

"Pleasssseeee? For your best buddy?"

Cyborg sighed, "All right then. As long as it isn't something stupid."

"It isn't," Beast Boy breathed, "Trust me. We need to find a book."

"Are you turning into Raven?" he questioned, "Since when were you crazy about books?"

"I'm not crazy about books...it's just this one. That one me and Raven have been reading is missing!"

Cyborg stood up, while examining the car. "Are you sure? She might have just misplaced it."

Beast Boy shook his head. "She said she checked. I don't want to bother her again because she doesn't feel good...look, can you please help me find it? I don't know much about the book, but I do know enough to find it. I think we need to start at the library."

Cyborg frowned, "But I just cleaned my—"

Beast Boy narrowed his eyes at him.

"I'm just kidding, BB," Cyborg chortled, "Of course I'll help you find your special book."

Beast Boy grinned and pushed Cyborg aside to hop into the car. "Then let's go!"

oOo

The library was more crowed than they had expected. There were people of all ages there, proving that it wasn't as quiet as they expected as well.

"Dude, I didn't know so many people liked reading!" Beast Boy exclaimed.

"Well…we learn something new everyday, don't we? So what's this book called?"

"Um...that's one of the things I don't know." Beast Boy told him.

"The author?"

Beast Boy shrugged.

"The cover art…if there's any?" Cyborg desperately asked.

Beast Boy shook his head.

"What kind of book is this anyway?"

"A strange one. All I know is what it's about," Beast Boy told him, and Cyborg beckoned for him to tell a summary of it.

Beast Boy told him about how Darcy hated her neighbor, Lorenzo, but as the book goes along they start to get along as well. They were different; Darcy liked art very much, and Lorenzo liked bugging her and goofing off, but one day they have a similar experience when both of them lose a family member (Darcy's sister and Lorenzo's father) on the same day, of the same year, however. They both try to figure out if it was a murder or not during their own investigations, and decide to tell no one about it since it's their little secret.

"That's all the interesting stuff," Beast Boy explained once he was finished. "Other than the pranks Lorenzo plays."

Cyborg put his chin between his thumb and forefinger. "Darcy, huh? I think I heard that name in a book. Or maybe her name was something else..."

"You have?" Beast Boy excitedly cut him off. Their search was soon to be over!

"Yeah, but it was nothing like this. It was some girl who had to take care of her little brothers and sister, and take them to their aunt's house because their mom was crazy."

Beast Boy got an apprehensive look.

"It was a book I had to read in eighth grade, OK? Why don't we just ask the librarian for help?"

"That's a great idea!" Beast Boy cried. "That's what they're for other than glaring at people, right?"

"Uh...you didn't know that?"

Beast Boy dragged Cyborg to the librarian's desk in a rush, while both attempting to wave to fans and avoid fangirls. When they were safe and sound with the librarian, Beast Boy explained a brief summary of the book to her, once again.

"I've never heard of this story," she told Beast Boy, while tilting her glasses. "Are you sure it's not a fairly new book?"

"Um...I don't think so," Beast Boy said. He began to regret that he did not look for a copyright date on the book...along with not asking Raven what the title and author was.

"I recommend checking the bookstore," she told them. "They have a plethora of newly released books." She took a pencil and paper and wrote down directions to the nearest bookstore. After taking that, the two Titans left from there.

However, at the bookstore they had even less luck, and Beast Boy began to think the search was hopeless.

"Maybe it's some special book from Azarath," Cyborg told him.

"Nah, it seems pretty normal to me."

"Actually, it sounds kind of suspicious when you think about it," Cyborg told him.

Beast Boy looked up at him. "Raven's been more careful with books since the one you're thinking of. I'm sure it's harmless."

"Well then, this must be some really good book," Cyborg told him, while they boarded into the T-Car. "It doesn't sound too interesting to me, but each to their own, I guess. Why don't you and Raven read something else for the time being?"

"I said that was the only book I like. Besides, it may not seem exciting to you, but there's something special about this one. I can feel it."

"Really?" Cyborg asked, while keeping his eyes on the road.

"Yeah...too bad I can't figure it out," Beast Boy muttered.

"Then why don't you try hanging out with Raven without that book?" Cyborg asked. "I'm sure she won't kill you after all of that bonding you've had."

"Raven doesn't like any of the things I do," Beast Boy said. "I mean, I liked the book, but it was the only reason I could hang out with her (Cyborg snickered at this). We're too different for anything else, so how am I supposed to hang out with her anyway?"

"I can arrange that," Cyborg said, while flashing a half grin. "Just wait 'til we get home."

A/N: The book Cyborg talks about is a real one called Homecoming by Cynthia Voigt. I had to read it in eighth grade...The next chapter takes place the same time this one does, and that's what Robin and Starfire are doing. I didn't want to put it all into one chapter because that would seem long compared to the others. Thanks for reading, and remember to review!
