Chapter Five: The Box
"For YOU!" All the titans shouted. They all had puzzled looks on their faces when they found out whom the box was for.
"Who sent it?" Cyborg asked. He got up from his seat and ran to the enormous box standing in front of the main room.
Raven shrugged her shoulders. "I hardly get any mail… so do you think I would know?"
Cyborg scratched his chin. "You do have a point."
Not holding their self-esteem, Robin and Starfire struggled out of their chairs and came running to the mysterious box leaving Beastboy in astonishment. He was still surprised at the thought of Raven having someone sending her a big brown box. (How shocking?)
"Can Robin and I look at the box?" Starfire asked Raven.
"Sure." Raven responded studying the lifeless object. "There's nothing else you can do with this box."
Starfire smiled and flew to the box.
While Robin and Starfire were gazing at the wondrous being, Raven was trying to find out who sent her it in the first place.
"Such a magnificent square figure." Starfire complimented.
Robin poked the box. "Starfire, all boxes are square."
"Yes, I know. But this one has some strange aura to it that makes me attracted to its beauty." Starfire replied. She touched the cardboard and smelt the fragrance of it. "Oh such a wonderful smell!"
Starfire then began to hug the box.
"Is she okay?" Cyborg moved toward Robin.
"I think so." Robin exclaimed. "Must be some Tamaranian thing."
"They definitely have some weird ways." Cyborg whispered in Robin's ear.
In the kitchen, Beastboy was still contained in shock. Thoughts ran across his mind like who sent the box and why. He wanted to know who sent it.
So BB stood up and walked towards the box.
Finally, Beastboy was face to face with it.
"Beastboy, there you are!" Starfire came across him staring at the box with a confusing look. She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards her.
"What is it, Star?" BB asked.
"You must smell." Starfire pointed to the box as she sniffed the object. "It is very amusing."
"Star, it's a box." Beastboy said. "Nothing special about a box."
"Then you know nothing of true beauty." Starfire huffed. She moved away from Beastboy and went back to sniffing the box.
Meanwhile:
"Raven, stop squalling and open the box!" Cyborg begged.
Raven looked at him. "Open it? Don't you see I'm trying to find out who sent this crap?"
Cyborg ignored what Raven said. "Open it!"
Robin and Starfire looked at Cyborg and heard what he had said. So they joined in the riot.
"Open it! Open it! Open it!" The team all chanted except Beastboy reciting the same words over and over. "Open it! Open it! Open it!"
The chanting started to sound like a song soon afterward. "Open it! Open it!"
"OKAY!" Raven burst. She almost lost it. Her emotions almost went haywire. The television exploded and the plates in the kitchen all fell from the cupboards they were placed. It was a big disaster!
The team all smiled (except Beastboy) that the box was gonna be opened.
Robin pushed aside Cyborg so he can get to see what was in the box first. Cyborg pushed back. "Not this time, man. I'm gonna stand in front."
"You're too big! How can anyone see what's in the box with your big head in the way?" Robin said angrily.
Starfire moved closer to the box waiting for Raven to open it.
Cyborg and Robin were still fighting when Raven began to open the box.
Beastboy was looking to see what was in it.
After peeling all the tape from the top, Raven tore the flips to the box and the cardboard box was opened. There was stuffing in it so Raven had to dig in it to see what was in it. (Too many it's.)
The box was enormous so when Raven went in it, she completely disappeared.
Cyborg and Robin stopped arguing and watched Raven dive into the fluff from the box.
Beastboy started to sweat. Please don't be from Adonis….or Malchior.
He glanced at the fluff waiting for Raven to come back out.
"I got it!" Raven came up. She was holding a silky object in her hands and a purple box with it.
The titans all stared at the objects and noticed what they were.
"Damn!" Cyborg said as he looked at the beautiful sparkling dress Raven was holding in her hands. "Are you going out tonight?"
Robin smiled and eyed the dress. It had diamonds on it and was very soft. Purple was the color of the dress. "Looks like whoever sent it, must be someone rich."
"I have seen this dress from somewhere in the mall." Starfire held the tip of the dress. "It is very familiar."
Beastboy almost lost his nerves once he saw Raven holding a dress. He felt like he was jealous….but by who? Who sent it?
"It's okay…I guess." Raven stated as she looked at the dress. She couldn't imagine her wearing it though. She wasn't a type of girl who wore dresses.
"Okay?" Cyborg yelled. "It's BEAUTIFUL!"
"Raven! This dress has to be from someone who cares about you!" Robin suggested. "Probably an admirer."
"An admirer?" Raven said. "Me having an admirer? No thanks."
"He's right! It must be from someone who likes you." Cyborg exclaimed. "Oh, she's growing up too fast." The robot wiped a tear from his eye.
"Likes me?" Raven backed up.
"Yeah." Robin smiled.
"How do you know?" Rae asked.
"Um…because we're guys." Cyborg and Robin said.
"Right Beastboy?" Cyborg asked his friend.
Beastboy wasn't listening. He was busy looking at Raven and her new dress.
Whoever it was must care a lot about Raven to buy her an expensive dress.
What's wrong with me? Beastboy thought. What is this sick feeling inside?
"Yo, BB!" Cyborg yelled. "I'm talking to you, fool!"
Beastboy didn't answer. He was occupied in the gifts Raven had gotten.
"Raven, what is in that purple box?" Starfire pointed at the small decorated box.
Not another gift. Beastboy groaned as he thought. He still was looking at Raven.
"I don't know, Starfire." Raven exclaimed.
"Can we see what's in it?" Robin asked.
Raven sighed. "Sure."
She opened the purple box and to her amazement found a dazzling necklace. It was so sparkly and it shimmered from the light.
"Dang, Raven. You gonna look hot with all that new stuff." Cyborg joked again.
"Who would give you such beautiful presents?" Starfire asked as she picked up the necklace.
Raven shrugged.
That's when she gazed at the purple box and noticed a note placed in the very back covered with cloth. The teen glared at all her teammates then placed the note in her violet cloak. She hoped no one noticed what she had done but no one noticed.
"Someone must really like you. Maybe even wants you to marry em'." Cyborg gagged.
Beastboy found nothing amusing with Raven getting a dress and a diamond necklace. (Though, they were beautiful)
The green boy grew vindicated. He no longer could hold his feelings inside, so he let it all out.
"Who the hell is it?" Beastboy yelled turning all red in the face.
"Who is what?" Starfire asked.
"The person who sent the box?" Beastboy questioned pointing to the cardboard box.
Raven just looked at Beastboy and saw how angry he was. "If I knew, do you think I would tell you by now?"
BB sighed. "You're hiding something."
Raven glanced at him. "I'm not hiding anything."
"Chill, man. It's just a couple of gifts." Cyborg pushed.
BB sighed heavily. "It's not just a couple of gifts."
The angry Raven glared at Beastboy. "When did you care?"
BB glared at Raven. "Just now."
Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg stood still as they watched Raven and Beastboy fight again. When will they ever stop fighting? Yesterday Beastboy was yelling at Raven about her being in the Tower and today he's yelling about her getting a new dress and necklace. When will it end?
"Um…do you guys need some time alone?" Robin asked the two.
Raven and Beastboy looked at Robin and answered angrily. "What do you think?"
"I am guessing that is a yes." Starfire replied. So with that, she grabbed Cyborg and Robin into her bedroom leaving Raven and Beastboy alone in the main room.
"So who is it?" BB asked when they were finally gone. "No one's here to listen."
Raven glanced at him.
"As you can tell, the team left us so we can discuss this problem. So tell."
"There's nothing you need to know." Raven answered.
"Obviously, there is." Beastboy backfired.
"This is my life. You don't control it." Raven responded quicker.
Beastboy froze. "I didn't say anything about your life?"
"Well your trying to find out about my personal life." Raven answered back.
She was right. He was.
"So what? Maybe it's good to know, Raven." Beastboy exclaimed. "It's hard to tell what you do cause your so….weird."
Weird? Raven thought.
Beastboy waited for a reply but Raven gave no answer. She just looked at him and backed away a few steps.
BB sighed lightly. "Then just tell me who sent the box?"
The girl with the purple cape felt the note in her cloak. Should she tell him about the note? Raven refused.
Raven stared at him as she always did and lied straight in his face. "Like I said before…if I knew I would tell you the name."
And with that, Raven flew to the hallway to go to her room. Her door swooshed open and she went in leaving a puzzled look on Beastboy's face. He knew she was keeping something…but what? And why was she feeling her cloak? That's the thoughts that ran across Beastboy's head.
"I know Raven's up to something no good." Beastboy said aloud as he stomped his foot to the floor. "And I'm gonna find out if that's the last thing I do!"
That sums up the end of Chapter Five. I know I know…it was short. Well it was short to me. Must have been long…but can't tell. I hoped you liked it. Oh and I'm looking for a song that might go well for my story. If you have any ideas on one please email me. I'm waiting for your replies. Thanks to all my fans who read my story. Get ready for Chapter Six! Who sent Raven that box? Stay tuned! Big surprises! See you there!
