Tetra: I decided to resurrect this fic. It's been a looooong time. I'd like to thank Anna, for talking to me on AIM, and realizing how bored I was. Also, YO MOMMA, the show on mtv, for giving me a two hour break from this fic so I didn't lose my mind when I was writing this chapter...umm..who else? Star Jones, for being annoying, and giving me a reason to wake up to watch The View, in the hopes that someone will yell at her. My mini-trampoline, for letting me attempt triple axels in the air. And, spring break, and six flags. And my 'friends', for causing so much drama.

She sat down on my bed.
"F-Fuck...", she stuttered again, "we've got a problem."
"I know."
I looked around the room, almost as if hoping the answer would pop out of the walls at me. When I looked back at Terra, she was playing with a hot wheels car on the floor.
"Vroom! Vroom!", she said pushing it up and down on the carpet.
"Terra..."
She looked up at me.
"Oh! Right...Raven." She threw the car at the wall.
It bounced off loudly, and we both looked at each other, Terra wide-eyed.
"I don't know why I did that."
I sighed.
"Terra, what the fuck are we going to do?"
I paced the room, and she didn't answer.
"TERRA!"
I had looked back at her, and she was again playing with the toy car.
She looked at me and then threw it at the wall again.
"Heh?"
I stared at her and shook my head.
"What's going on in here?"
OH MY FUCKING JESUS CHRIST LORD GOD.
It was Raven.
Dead silence.
In my head I was screaming.
I didn't dare look at Terra.
"Hello?"
Raven stood in the doorway, looking at me and Terra and around the room.
Nobody said anything.
"HELLO? ANYBODY HOME?"
She looked from me to Terra, to the car on the floor.
"Hi."
Terra had finally spoken, and me and Raven jumped at the sound of a different voice.
"Finally...what the fuck is going on? I heard like, two bangs, and I saw the light on in here. What are you guys doing?"
I instantly looked at Terra who was already gazing deep into my eyes, trying to communicate with me across the room.
Silence.
Raven looked bewildered.
I cleared my throat.
"Um, just…wrapping gifts.", I said, my throat all scratchy and raw sounding.
"You're joking right?"
"Huh?", I asked Raven.
"Where's the wrapping paper?"
Fuck.
My eyes swept the floor and pulled up to reach Terra's across the room. She didn't have such a good poker face. Her eyes were wide, and I could easily see fear in them. But then again, my hand was shaking...
"Wrapping paper?", Terra said out of nowhere.
Raven narrowed her eyes.
"Yeah, wrapping paper."
"I...", Terra scratched her head. She was clearly stalling for time.
I knew I had to distract Raven somehow.
"Did you know that wrapping paper was invented in the 1400's?", said Terra's voice, not mine. She seemed to have been thinking along the same lines.
"Huh?", Raven and I said at the same time.
"Yes. Wrapping paper, yet then know as, la gift decour, was a common household item back in the olden days of England.", and Terra went on into a long speech about wrapping paper.
I took the time to think of an excuse.
I couldn't think of one.
"-and, did you know that in France they have stores on every block that only sell wrapping paper? Yep, that they do, Madame. And,-"
"OKAY! Okay, Terra, jesus."
"Yes!", Terra clapped her hands. "Jesus! Ahh, what a good man. Our lord indeed. Did you know th-"
Raven walked out of the room.
I stared at Terra, and she let out a deep breath.
"That was close.", she admitted.
"Oh man, I know, I know..." I walked to her and took her hands.
"You were amazing." I smiled at her.
"Aww, BB, that was nothing. You should listen to me when I start talking about figure skating. Which, IS a sport, by the way. Did you-"
I kissed her and she stopped talking.
That's when Raven walked back in the room.
"Get. The. Fuck. Out. No way.", she stared at us, horrified.
"I-I, Raven, I can explain."
"No. She covered her eyes. It-It's fine."
Terra rolled her eyes.
"Nothing is ever FINE."
Raven looked up at her.
"I challenge you to, YO MOMMA!"
