Hi, this is Lea again. I want to thank all the people who have stuck behind my story and would like to thank the new readers who are reading my story for the first time. I really appreciate it! I'm having such a busy summer...writing stories, hanging with my family, and still having time to play fetch with my dog. It's just hectic, that's all. This is part two of a moon, a tree, and a green stain! This time it will be midnight and Raven will meet her so called "admirer". I hoped you liked part one or in case you didn't think it was exciting I think part two will be. It has more surprises and twist. And also a lot of funny crap! (Lol)
Okay that's that! I hope you enjoy this chap. (Hey! That kinda rhymed)
Disclaimer: I don't own the show Teen Titans….but eventually I will. J/k!
Chapter Nine: A moon, a tree, and a green stain Part II
Back In the Main Room
"Darn it! That won't work..." Beastboy incised. It was 11:58 and Beastboy was still awake and still planning on a way to find out who sent Raven the box. His pencil was cracking from all the writing and its lead was running low. He needed to sharpen it but he had no sharpener in use.
His papers were scattered about and his working "studio" was a complete pig sty! There was hair strands everywhere and it looked like Beastboy was turning bald. From all the work he was doing, he went completely insane.
Tap Tap Tap. He was still tapping his pencil on his desk trying to get an idea to come in mind. This usually seemed to work for Beastboy.
"Maybe I should just sneak in her room and see if she's hiding anything." Beastboy insured. "That would be a good plan. Then I'll find out and won't have to worry so much about that box."
But Raven's always in her room...how will I sneak in there? Beastboy thought.
He was totally right. Raven could easily catch him...but won't she be asleep at this time?
"Wait a minute! She's asleep!" Beastboy indured. "She'll be asleep! She won't know that I came...as long as I keep quiet that is."
Beastboy cackled a little.
Yep. That's what I'm going to do. Beastboy smiled. He felt like he was a genius, a mastermind, a thief, and a great spy. Who wouldn't if you were in BB's shoes?
Before Beastboy could do his plan, he heard a door swoosh open.
Huh? Is someone awake? Beastboy thought getting up from his chair.
Then, he heard footsteps walking in the hallway very silently. Who could be up at this hour instead of Beastboy?
"Hello? Is someone there?" Beastboy trembled. He knew all the titans were asleep so he thought it was a ghost or something.
The sounds of the footsteps stopped. Could they possibly be from a ghost?
Beastboy started shaking. He got frightened of the thoughts of having a dead presence in the tower. A ghost...or not.
"If you don't come out and let me see you, I'll...I'll...I'll." Beastboy stuttered. Oh dude! Why'd I have to be such a wise crack!
"OOOOOOOOooooo" The ghostly voice answered. "Go to bed...OOOOOooooo!"
The changeling turned white. He was so pale that he was as white as the walls in the tower. A ghost just answered him! Wouldn't that be scary?
Beastboy couldn't say another word. He was so shaky from the ghost voice he had heard. It was so fady and ghostly.
"Who...who...who are you...you. you." Beastboy choked.
The voice didn't answer for a moment but then it later did. "I...am...the phantom of the..."
"The Opera?" Beastboy insisted.
The voice didn't sound amused. "NOOOooooO! I'm the phantom of the tower!"
Beastboy shuddered. "Phantom of the tower?"
"YES! Now be a good boy and go to bed...OOOOooooo!" The voice yelled palely.
Beastboy shrilled. "What ever you say ghost voice."
Then, the green boy started walking back to his room but then an idea came to mind. What am I doing? Obeying a ghost's words? Hell, I'm a titan! I don't take orders from any bad guy...not even if it was me.
Beastboy stopped and noticed that the footsteps from the hallway were running.
"Dude, I can't let this ghost hurt my friends. I have to stop it before it leaves!" Beastboy whispered running into the hallway.
In the hallway, there was little light brightening. He couldn't see a thing but maybe a little sparkle that twinkled once exiting outside. The door closed and that meant that the ghost left like a chicken.
Damn it! I'm too late! That phantom escaped without me even looking at it. All I saw was a little sparkle...but what will that do? Feh, Some titan I am... Beastboy thought drooping his head down feeling like a failure.
"Just maybe...just maybe I'd like to be the hero." Beastboy sadly said.
Suddenly, a thought ran across his mind. Wait a minute! I can still catch it! It just went outside...I'll get it for sure!
Then, the green boy immediately opened the door where the ghost went and went outside to find a sparkly shadow walking up a hill.
Who was it? Could it be a ghost? Beastboy moved closer to see who "this" ghost was.
To his surprise, the ghost didn't look like any ghost he ever saw. 'The Phantom of the Tower' wasn't transparent at all too. So how could it claim itself to be a ghost?
It looks so real. How realistic can a ghost get? Beastboy thought.
Beastboy examined every part of the ghost. One thing he noticed was that the ghost wasn't a boy but a girl. The second was that the ghost was very shimmery. He also noticed that the ghost had some shiny crystal on its neck. What could that be?
What's this ghost doing? Where would a ghost go? Beastboy thought in his head.
Then, Beastboy took a closer look at this ghost. To his undivided attention, he noticed that the ghost was RAVEN!
"RAVEN!" Beastboy looked surprised and stuttered quite alot. "What-wha-wha-what in all the crap!" (Lol)
"Isn't Raven suppose to be asleep?" Beastboy said confusedly. "Why in a…"
Beastboy started to laugh. "In a dress! Raven in a dress! Oh this is great black mail. Where's my camera?"
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
The green boy kept laughing and held his sides from the pain he was getting from laughing too much. "Oh dude, this is S-W-E-T-E!" (A/N. Beastboy can't spell very good. That's why I did that.)
Beastboy unsteadily laughed then stopped. "Wait a minute! Isn't that the dress that she got from that box? Then that means she's wearing that necklace! So that's what that sparkly thing is on her neck. Why is she wearing them?"
In a few seconds, Beastboy was finally done from his enjoyment. His voice was slightly raspy from the laughter he choked up. "But I still can't believe Raven's wearing a dress."
Beastboy smirked. "I'll be sure to tell Cyborg tomorrow."
He choked another giggle and went back to Raven walking up the hill. She looked like she was turning back behind her checking if anyone was following her. That's when Beastboy ducked down.
It looked like Raven knew someone was following her. (Like a little green bug)
"Guess it was just me." Raven whispered to herself and continued back up the hill.
When all was quiet, Beastboy got up and looked to see if Raven was looking. She wasn't, she was heading back up the hill.
Beastboy sighed and wiped the sweat from his forehead. That was close.
Raven was starting to get away from Beastboy's sight so Beastboy transformed into a fly and flew his way to see where Raven was headed.
Up the hill, he saw a sigh that read: Jump City Park
What's Raven doing at the park? The fly thought drifting in the wind following his teammate.
Raven with her dress and necklace walked all the way towards a big large tree in the park and sat down like she was waiting for someone. But who?
As he would normally do, Beastboy transformed into a monkey and climbed up the enormous tree. (Raven didn't see him)
He watched Raven and began to wonder what she was doing waiting at a tree at midnight.
Where is he? Raven thought stroking her hair gently. She felt neglected thinking that her admirer decided not to show up. Maybe even getting cold feet.
Raven felt agony as she sat there.
"I knew it, I knew it!" Raven said aloud. "This was just some set-up."
The titangot up and looked up at the sky. The stars were out and glimmering. Some tears ran down her cheeks. She felt used or even betrayed.What else can you do?
Up in the tree, Beastboy was puzzled. What was wrong?
Why's Raven crying? Beastboy thought looking down at her from the tree. A tear ran down his face. He felt her pain although he didn't know what she was crying about.
Could this be what she did yesterday? Beastboy thought scratching his tail. (Remember he's a monkey)
The green monkey held on to the branches and stared quietly at Raven down below. He couldn't do anything else but weep for her.
"I got stood up." Raven said wiping her tear away. She didn't dare cry anymore, who knows what that can do.
Then, Raven started walking back to the tower sadly until...
"Raven!" A voice screeched.
Raven turned around and noticed a tall shadowy figure waving his hands in the air. Could it possibly be?
Beastboy or the monkey looked startled. Who in the-? Who's that?
Raven was surprised. "Stranger!"
What do you know? It's Stranger! He was Raven's admirer after all this time. I bet you already knew that though. Sorry that I put a cliffe at the end of this chapter but it's the only way to make you keep reading and I think it will keep you asking questions. I hope you enjoyed it! I'm currently working on Chapter ten and I predict that it will be the funniest of them all! You're going to enjoy it because Beastboy will finally know who Stranger is. (and you know how Beastboy would be, right?) You'll truly love it, I promise. Please review! Good flamies are very welcomed and bad flamies should be kept at a minimum. See you at Chapter ten, everybody!
