Chapter Eight: A moon, a tree, and a green stain Part 1

It wasn't long when the sunset arrived at Jump City. It was almost nearing the time Raven was going to meet her secret admirer…almost. True beauty and amazing rays perpetrated the orange blackish sky.

No human being could ruin the moment of the sun….no one.

When time was drawing near to midnight, Raven spent all her time in her room preparing for her "night out". No one in the tower knew what Raven was up to or where she was going because Raven didn't tell anyone about the note she had received. She knew if she told any of the titans, they wouldn't have the decency to let her go. (I really think they would...sorry)

She also kept in note of Robin's promise. What he told her….and her obligation to it.

She couldn't let him find out what she was up to. It would break their bond that they had. (When I say that, I mean friendship bond)

Holding back all esteem, Raven got up from her cozy bed. She stared at the clock and observed that it was 9:00 p.m.…only three more hours to go.

The teenager grew anticipated with hysteria. She couldn't believe that in three hours she was going to affront her secret admirer. This brought up shivers down Raven's spine.

I can't believe it. I'm going to meet him. Raven thought as she was sprouting red all over her cheeks.

The swooning Raven paused and noticed that she was blushing. For what though? She didn't get to meet him yet…but yet she's blushing?

Raven shook her head. "What's wrong with me? I don't even know the guy but I'm falling for him."

Raven sighed. I just hope that my plans turn out good.

The teenager got up from her slumbering bed and strolled to the corner of her room. She sat down on the fuzzy floor and went into meditation form.

Maybe if I meditate, time will pass faster and I won't be such a nervous wreck. Raven thought lemitating from the air.

"Azareth Metrion Zinthos. Azareth Metrion Zinthos. Azareth Metrion Zinthos." Raven meditated. Floating up in the air, she let all troubles slip away from her.

That was the only way to take her mind off things. ( Remember in Chap. 2?)

Meanwhile:

"Poor Beastboy. He has not moved since breakfast." Starfire presumed.

There in the entrance of the main room was Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg gazing at their green friend who was yet still into his trance to find out about Raven's box.

"I know...It's kindof...sad." Robin said worried. What's wrong with him?

Frowning at the thought of his friend, Cyborg sighed. "I feel sorry for BB. Wish I knew what was wrong."

Starfire looked upon the half robot. "You do not know? Friend, maybe we shall talk to Beastboy about his oneself problems."

Robin smiled. "You're right...we should."

Cyborg glared at the two. "I tried that. Didn't work."

"Then we shall." Starfire jumped. She flew to Beastboy with Robin on her grasp.

Once they were there, they asked their moderate friend. "Beastboy, you have not been yourself these past hours. What is troubling you, friend? The so called zits or swings of mood?" Starfire began first.

"You mean mood swings?" Robin corrected Starfire.

"Oh yes! However, I do not understand, why are swings moody?" Starfire asked dumbfoundedly at Robin.

"Swings aren't moody. It means something else, Star." Robin answered.

Beastboy, glaring at the two "love birds", turned away from his work. He had a furious look on his face. "What do you want?"

"BEASTBOY! You have talked!" Starfire yelled with joy. Starfire cheered and clapped her hands as if to signal that someone had done something impressively good.

"So what? You're going to give me a hug now because I poopy in my pantsy?" Beastboy joked sarcastically.

"Poopy in my pantsy?" Starfire looked confused. What does such a word mean?

"Nevermind. What do you guys want?" Beastboy asked tapping his pencil.

"We came here to check up on you. Cyborg says that you've been acting different." Robin exclaimed crossing his arms.

"Cyborg? That robot? Please...I'm fine. He just worries too much." Beastboy responded.

"You're fine?" Robin asked.

"Yeah, Doctor Robin. I'm fine." Beastboy amused again.

"Yes! Beastboy is doing fine! He is being himself once again!" Starfire cheered. (Where's some pom-poms when you need them?)

"I'm just having an off day, that's all." Beastboy completed. "I'm starting to feel a little better come to think about it."

Robin grinned. "That's great."

Beastboy smiled a bit. "Good. Now can you guys leave?"

Starfire jumped up and down. "Yes, friend! We shall!"

And with that, Starfire gave Beastboy a hug and left him with his work. Then she took Robin and trailed back to Cyborg who was watching them.

"Cyborg, Beastboy is doing well." Starfire added once getting to the half robot at the entrance of the main room. He looked anxious to know what Beastboy had said to them. He just hoped it wasn't bad.

"He is?" Cyborg asked with confusion. When he asked him before, he hadn't given him an answer. All he said was to leave him alone, could this be an ending to their friendship?

"Yeah. He even said he was. Isn't that great?" Robin explained. His face stretched when he smiled widely at the thought of Beastboy doing okay.

Cyborg scratched his head not knowing that if it was true. They could lie just to make him feel better about himself and make him stop worrying over Beastboy. Cyborg glanced at them and said uncertainly. "I guess it is."

Starfire froze from her joy of Beastboy being back to normal. "You guess?"

Cyborg was still puzzled. Was it true? Could he really be better now? "Yeah...if you guys say that he is."

Robin grinned and put his hand on Cyborg's shoulder. "Don't take things literally, Cy. Beastboy's fine. You don't have to worry so much."

Still very unsure, Cyborg smiled and laughed heartedly. "Yeah, you're right. BB's fine."

Robin and Starfire laughed with him.

Then, Starfire yawned deeply. Her eyes were getting heavy and drowsy and her vision was blurry. She was getting tired.

Robin was getting tired too.

Cyborg looked at them. "Are you guys sleepy?"

Starfire shook her head. "I am not sleepy. I am just not feeling well."

"Yeah. We better get some shut-eye." Robin stretched and yawned. He scratched his behind and yawned once more. He was getting drowsier.

"Well see you tomorrow." Cyborg smirked. "I'll make sure that you guys get some good rest."

"You too." Robin said dragging his feet yet along with Starfire following after. She could barely see because of all the sleeping dust in her eyes forcing her to shut them.

"Goodnight, friend." Starfire said drowsily. She went back in her room without saying another word.

When Robin was about to go in his room, he paused. "When are you going to bed? It's getting late."

"What time is it?" Cyborg questioned the boy wonder.

Robin gazed at the clock. The long finger was pointing at the ten. "It's 10."

Cyborg looked at the clock also. "10:00 already?"

"Yeah." Robin added.

"Well, I'll be going to bed soon, you can count on it." The half robot assured Robin.

"Just making sure you get some good rest too." Robin continued. "We're going after Mumbo tomorrow."

"Mumbo?" Cyborg asked. (A/N. Do you remember Chapter Four? They were discussing about capturing Mumbo at the breakfast table.)

"Yeah. We haven't caught him yet but tomorrow his magic will wear out." Robin said firmly.

Cyborg smirked. "Yeah, he won't know what hit him."

Robin shook his head. "Well goodnight and see you tomorrow."

Then with that, Robin went in his room and left Cyborg standing quietly alone. Tomorrow they were going after Mumbo...seems like alot of fun.

Cyborg quickly glanced at the clock. "I'll be going to bed soon."

The time was nearing 10:05 P.M.

The half robot and human yawned. He began to think of Beastboy. When was he going to sleep? Was he ever? They said he was okay or could he be lying?

Peering down at Beastboy working on his plans, Cyborg thought to himself. I hope he's okay.

Then he left and went to bed still worrying about the green boy.

Back to Raven's room:

"Azareth Metrion Zinthos, Azareth Metrion Zinthos, Azareth Metrion Zinthos." Raven said enchantedly.

She had been meditating for one hour. (Now she had to wait two more hours)

What else could she do? She was bound to be tired of meditating eventually; all she had to do was wait. Wait for the moment of a lifetime to come knocking at her door. Wait for her prince charming to save her from her prison. Wait for food so she could eat. Wait for a way to show her true feelings. That's the type of wait she was going through.

Finally, Raven collapsed on the floor. "I can't do this."

She was done meditating and was now waiting for it to be midnight. Now her choice seemed to backfire at her.

She wanted to stay. What if she got caught sneaking out of the tower?

She didn't get caught before but maybe this time she will. She made a direct promise to Robin that she wouldn't leave and that promise started foiling her plans.

Raven couldn't possibly go out to meet a total stranger that she hardly knew. Who knows what the guy looks like? He could be in his mid-40s and might have children.

He could also be a child at the age of 12 trying to stalk her. It could truly be someone she wouldn't want to be with. What if it's a child or an old man! That would just be sick!

The more Raven thought, the more she didn't want to go. What would her team think of her? Will they still trust her?

Why would they anyway? I'm the daughter of Trigon...why would they trust me? Raven thought foolish thoughts. All they seemed to do was bring her down and it was working!

If I go, I might make the biggest mistake of my life. Raven thought oncemore.

She picked herself up and started pacing around the room. What should she do? The time was nearing quickly. She had to make a true decision on what she really wanted to do. That's when Raven had a decision.

"I'm going, If I like it or not." Raven finally decided.

However, in truth, she really didn't want to go in perspective. She knew of all the trouble she could be headed. Though, she ignored the descent.

All her thinking made time go by swiftly. It was 10:59. Only one more hour to go.

"Only one more hour to go." Raven murmured heavily under her breath. "I'm not sure if I'm ready."

She looked at the clock. 11:00 P.M. Time was moving and it looked like it was rushing.

Maybe you should reconsider. Thought one of Raven's emotions, timid.

"No! I already decided." Raven said alarmed by the voices coming from her head. Her emotions were talking to her, trying to reason with her...though some weren't.

Hello? She already picked. Let the girl go her way! Thought the other emotion, brave.

Yeah! It's her decision. She can pick what she wants to pick! Said another emotion, jealousy.

Raven rolled her eyes.

By my calculations, I think Raven shouldn't go. By all reasons, she shouldn't! Think of all the trouble she'll get into! Her team would be worried! Her life would be in depression! This is a lose-lose situation here! Think before you act! Thought the smart emotion.

Oh puh-lease! No one wants to hear your blabbermouth. You already made half the emotions fall asleep already! Thought the angry emotion.

Raven stared in blank space. What were her emotions doing? Were they fighting for a decision? And why now?

I say Raven should just go...then she would be free to frolic in the roses! I just love roses...Oh and also sunflowers! Why can't we just all agree? She obviously wants to see the guy. Like duh! Thought the emotion, happy.

I don't think it's a good idea. Someone could get hurt...or even worse killed. Let's just all be wise and choose the right decision. Thought timid again.

"Like I said before, I already chose what I wanted to do." Raven said in her mind.

But is that what you decided? Thought the smart emotion oncemore.

Raven paused. She really didn't want to go.

Of course, she wants to go, fools! Are you blind or deaf? She even said she wanted to go. You can't change her mind! Spoke the emotion jealousy.

The puzzled Raven glared at the walls. Did she really want to go?

She doesn't want to go! You're forcing her! Let her choose... Thought the wise emotion.

Raven stood still from her position. What would be the right choice? Some parts want to go but others don't.

Stupid! She wants to go! Her team won't miss her...gosh it's only for a minute not like she's going forever. Thought the emotion, brave.

Raven nodded her head. "I'm going."

But! But! But! Thought the shy emotion.

Oh pipe down already! She chose. Thought the angry emotion with a pitch.

Yeah! More roses to trample in! Said the joyous emotion, happy.

Raven paused. Is this what I really want?

Then her emotions quieted down. She couldn't hear them anymore.

Raven stood still and looked at the big clock. Time had passed fast. It was 11:30 P.M. Only thirty minutes left and time to see her secret admirer. All the waiting made Raven sweat with impatience.

She walked back and forth around her room. "I got to get ready."

Raven set her eyes on the purple sparkly dress she had gotten from her admirer and the diamond necklace. They were wonderful gifts but Raven couldn't picture herself with them. What would she look like?

Dreading the thought, Raven put on the dress. As long as the titans don't see me, I'll be fine wearing this.

The dress fitted perfected around her body. It was exactly her size.

The titan reached for the necklace and gently put it on. It went around her neck and shimmered from the light of the moon.

Raven stood still. She had everything on now. The dress and the necklace fit perfectly!

Maybe I should go look at myself. Raven thought.

Sadly, she had no time. Time was passing quickly. It was 11:55.

Only five more minutes! Raven brushed her hair immediately and put a spare of makeup.

Then, Raven quietly exited her room without saying another word.

Alright! That ends Chapter eight! I'm so sorry that I didn't show her going to the tree in this chap. I originally did, but found out that it was too long for one chapter so I'm putting that on Chapter nine. So, stick around for chapter nine! And PLEASE review!
