Previous Chapter
I heard Raven's voice. "Beast Boy, what are you doing?" She said in her monotone. "Ummm… waiting for you?" I said in a cracking voice. She shook her head, and came over to me. "So… you said you had a surprise for me?" I was puzzled, but I thought quickly. "Yeah, here it is." I leaned over to her, and I gave her a very soft kiss. "I… uh… wanted to, uh… watch the sky with you, too." I said shyly. She sat down, and she patted the ground beside her. "Sounds like a good idea." She said kindly. I sat down, and I looked at the sky. Raven embraced me, and leaned into my chest. I was caught off guard and I jumped, but I soon settled down and I wrapped my arms around her. After a while, she fell asleep; but I continued to stare at the stars, wondering how life could be so awesome.
Raven's POV
I awoke to the sun, gleaming in my face. I realized that Beast Boy and I had fallen asleep on the roof, and I tried to wake him up. "Beast Boy, time to get up." I heard shifting behind me, and I whipped around. "It's about time you got up. We have a competition to do!" I found the other Titans behind me, and that was not all I found. A coliseum was towering above Beast Boy and I, brimming with wires and circuits. "If y'all will redirect your attention to the electric board up over there, you'll see today's matches!" Cyborg shouted out.
Raven vs. Bumble Bee
Starfire vs. Beast Boy
Terra vs. Speedy
Cyborg vs. Aqualad
Robin vs. Mas Y Menos
Starfire's eyes were large and sad. She flew over and gave Beast Boy a bone crushing hug, waking him up in the process. "Oh, friend! I am sorry I must fight you! I do not like this competition anymore!" Beast Boy was shaken out of his grogginess. "It's okay, Star! You only have to fight me once! Let's just say that you're lucky… you could've been fighting Robin, or Raven or anybody else!" At that word, Starfire gasped. "I am glad that is not the case!" Starfire flew off, and she gave Robin a hug. "Promise you'll go easy on me?" Terra asked Speedy. "Sorry, I don't do favours for my opposition… but I'll fight fair!" Speedy smiled and shook her hand. Cyborg and Aqualad were shaking hands, and chatting friendlily. Mas, Robin and Menos were talking… or gibbering. Bumble Bee came up to me and shook my hand. "Looks like were up first. Let's make it good, okay girl?" She smiled at me and I smiled back… not widely, of course. Cyborg ushered us into the stadium, and the stands were soon filled. I was surprised to find that the stands weren't only filled with Titans; but with the citizens of Jump City. Cyborg counted Bumble Bee and I off, and we got into our ready stance. "3… 2… 1… GO!"
Beast Boy
I recovered from my hug from Star, and I made my way over to the towering building before me. I gaped and I stared at it. I came close to touching it, but everyone yelled at me to stay away. I stormed away from them and I saw an odd sight: a snack bar… on the middle of the roof. I shrugged and went over to buy some popcorn, and I caught someone's eye. "Who are you?" She said oddly. "I'm Beast Boy, who are you?" She shook her head and looked back. "I'm… a member of the Titans South. I'm a… huge fan of you." I cocked an eyebrow, and I received my popcorn. "Then why did you ask me who I am?" She gestured around her. "There are a lot of impersonators around here. It's hard to tell." I nodded at her. "Cool, but you still didn't tell me your name." She blushed and looked down. 'Why did she do that? I'm not flirting… am I?' She looked up again, and she thrusted her hand out at me. "Name's Camouflage… but you can call me Cam." I shook her hand. "Why do they call you Camouflage?" She smirked and backed away. Her brown eyes turned gray, and then her face, and then… she was gone! I heard a whisper come from a wastebasket that wasn't there before. "Hey, ever seen a wastebasket talk to you?" She turned back into herself, and she beamed. "So… you're a shape-shifter too? Cool! You can blend into your surroundings!" She smirked arrogantly. "That's not all I can do." She backed away again, her eyes turned green, then her face, her ears became pointed, and a fang stuck out of her mouth. "Like, dude! I love tofu, and I'm a total couch potato… but that doesn't stop me from hunting down chicks… I do hunt down chicks don't I?" She turned back into herself and smiled once more. I gaped at her, and I snapped back to reality… I realized that she was asking about my love life. "Being a total couch potato may not stop me, but Raven definitely will." Her smile faded.
"Well, see ya! I'd better go rejoin my team." She walked off, and didn't look back. 'She's bold… I'll give her that.' I frowned and I walked in another direction. I was feeling crummy, that is, up until I saw Raven. I waved at her, but I was jarred by Cyborg. "Let me help you to your seat!" He had an evil grin on, and he flung me into the stands. Instead of hitting pavement, I fell on a soft surface. Starfire caught me in a baseball mit, and she flung her hand upwards. "I have caught a Beast Boy!" She shouted. She dropped me onto the bleacher, and I looked at Raven. Cyborg was in the middle of the ring and he started to count them off.
On 'GO', the ring changed into a metal wasteland. Bumble Bee lunged at Raven, and Raven dodged her and caught her by the ankle. Raven flung her around and threw her into a wall. Bumble Bee shrank and flew at Raven, her weapon drawn. Before Bumble Bee could shock her, Raven surrounded her with a black aura. The black aura shrank, and Bumble Bee was released; she collapsed to the ground. Raven walked cautiously over to her, and bent down. Bumble Bee grabbed a piece of the solidified holographic surrounding, and hit her in the face, knocking her backwards. Everyone 'Awww'ed at this, because it was obviously a cheap shot. Raven got to her knees, and she melted into the ground. Bumble Bee looked confused, and she looked around for her. Then, from behind Bumble Bee, Raven appeared and kicked her in the back. Raven jumped on her back, and almost knife-like energy ejected from her wrists. She put the energy to Bumble Bee's neck. If Bumble Bee moved, her throat would be cut! Raven had won.
I rushed down to congratulate Raven. "Woo hoo! Go Raven! Go Raven!" I enveloped her in a large hug, and the spectators whooped and cheered. Raven and I blushed and we turned away. Before I realized what happened, she gave me a peck on the cheek and I was alone. At least, until Starfire came down and gave me a hug. "Starfire, give me no mercy, alright? You can't hold back in this competition, 'cause I won't." Starfire looked startled and sad, but after a minute, she perked up. "Of course, friend Beast Boy! No 'holding the back'!" She and I smiled, and we turned away. We stood at opposite ends of the stadium, and Cyborg counted us off. At 'Go', the stadium changed into a jungle. 'Yes! My advantage!' I thought. Instead of running at her, I changed in to a cheetah, and it was like if I melted into my surroundings. She couldn't see me. I let out a small growl, I felt sorry for her. She whipped around, and she shot a starbolt at me. It hit me square in the chest, and I flew backward. The next thing I knew, Starfire was standing over me, her eyes glowing. I changed into a mole, and dug underground. I heard her shoot at the ground, and suddenly the soil got very hot. I changed into a gorilla, and the ground erupted. Starfire was thrown backwards, and landed on her spine. I changed into a wolf, and reluctantly put my teeth around her neck. The whole arena was silent. The crowd erupted into applause and I stood up. I helped her up, and she beamed at me. I was fairly tired and I exited the arena. Everyone was pushing items at me to sign left and right. I finally pushed through the crowd, and I ran up to my room. Almost instantly, I fell into a deep sleep.
Raven's POV
I made my way to the stands and I watched Beast Boy fight Starfire. I secretly cheered for him, but I couldn't let anyone see that. Me… jumping up and down… screaming? 'Nope… not gonna happen.' I thought. Once the fight was over, I saw Beast Boy trudge out of the stadium. I decided to follow him, but I was stopped by a girl with brown eyes and white hair. "Raven, right?" She asked me. I nodded at her. "Camouflage. I'm a part of the Titans South. Are you and Beast Boy together?" I was taken aback by her boldness. "Well… yes." I replied in my monotone. She looked down, I sensed disappointment in her, and then evil hope. "You know that he hit on me earlier, right? I just thought you should know. I'm sorry." She walked away with what I sensed was accomplishment. I was in a daze, and I sat down. It was hard to believe her, but I thought 'What if it's true?' There was a pain in my chest, and I doubled over. I put my hood up, and I walked out of the stadium. I wouldn't let anyone see my tears; I wouldn't give anyone that satisfaction. I made my way to Beast Boy's room, and I burst in. He awoke with a start, and he looked at me worriedly. "What's wrong?" He asked me. I looked at him angrily, I was about to tell him exactly what was wrong.
