A/N: N/A
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, and I'm not profitting off this story.
Note: None at the moment...
Raven awoke. She blinked a couple of times then peered out the window. It was a beautiful day outside. Small waves gently crashed against the shore, and birds were singing the songs of springtime. Raven got up and stretched. She glanced at her clock and it read,10:55 am! She had slept in. Even Beastboy was probally already awake. She changed into her uniform and headed down to the kitchen.
"Mornin' Sleeping Beauty," Robin greeted.
"We all thought you died in there," Cyborg joked.
Raven meerly shook her head as she took a bite of her toast. She was too tired to speak. She never felt this bagged in her life!
The alarm rang. Raven sighed then got up from the table.
"It's Slade, " Robin reported,"He's at the bank. Titan's! Go!"
"Hey Robin, since Beastboy can't fight, I'll stay here with him and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid," Raven offered.
Robin glanced at the little green otter who was trying to pour himself some soymilk. Robin flinched. It was an accident waiting to happen.
"Good idea, we'll call you if we need help," Robin said as he ran off.
When everbody was gone Raven said to Beastboy, "I'm going to have a bath before everybody comes back. I'll be in the main bathroom if you need me."
'Poor Raven,' Beastboy thought, 'She's been stressed lately. Maybe I sould make her some tea.'
Once Raven was gone, Beastboy jumped up onto the counter and opened a cupboard with his nose. Raven's herbal tea was up there. He climbed up on the shelves. On the top shelf he found what he was looking for. The only problem now was to get it down. He grabbed the tea with his teeth and started down back the shelves. Beastboy jumped down from the cupboard and fell on his back. The herbal tea went everywhere.
Beastboy rolled onto his stomache and looked at the mess he caused. Raven's going to have a cow!
He jumped down from the counter and hide under the couch. He didn't want to be in sight when she came down.
From down the hall, Raven heard something fall just as she was going into the bathroom. She walked down the hall and into the kitchen and saw the mess. "Not two minutes and you already make a mess," Raven said with a sigh. Beastboy saw she wasn't too angry so he crawled out from under the couch and walked into the kitchen.
"Sorry, I was just trying to help," Beastboy said shyly.
Raven read his mind then replied, "It's okay, I'll clean it up after I get out of the bath."
Raven climbed into the tub. Just as her body touched the water her mermaid tail reappeared. She had gotten use to it by now. The other Titans, besides Starfire and Beastboy still didn't know. The steamy air calmed her headache. She shut her eyes and let herself soak into the warm water.
About half an hour later, Raven still wasn't out of the bathroom yet when the Titans came back.
"I can't believe he got away, again!" Robin shouted.
"Personally, I wasn't," Cyborg stated, "The guy's tricky."
"I agree," said Starfire, "Slade is most cunning."
From down the hall Raven could hear their conversation. Quickly, she drained the tub and tried to climb out of the tub. It wasn't excatly easy and she couldn't levitate because, appearantly, her powers didn't work when she was a mermaid.
Robin glanced at the counter and saw the mess. Assuming the worst, Robin walked down the hall toward Raven's room. As he past the bathroom, he heard Raven trying to dry off. He knocked.
"Raven? Is that you in there?" Robin asked.
"Yeah," Raven responded. She fell off the counter where she was sitting. The wind was knocked out of her. Robin heard the thump.
"Are you okay?" Robin asked. Raven tried to answer but couldn't. "Raven? I'm coming in."
'Crap,' Raven thought. She continued to dry herself off.
Robin opened the door and there was Raven, sitting on the floor wrapped in her towel, perfectly fine. Robin closed the door and walked away, blushing.
Raven sighed. That was way too close.
Later That Day...
"Come on Raven, jump in the water's great!" exclaimed Robin.
"Yes Raven, the water is wonderful!" Starfire said.
Raven looked up from her book and shook her head. The Titans, except Cyborg, were swimming in the water that surrounded their little island. Raven sat in the sand, away from the water, reading her book.
"Why not?" asked Cyborg.
"I just don't feel like it," Raven replied with a shrug.
Robin ran up to Cyborg and whispered into his ear so quietly, Raven couldn't hear. Cyborg nodded and Robin ran back into the water. Before Raven had a chance to read his mind, Cyborg grinned smugly then suddenly pick Raven up and swung her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. She dropped her book. She soon realized what was going to happen and started to kick. When Cyborg got near the water he threw Raven into the water.
Before Raven could react, she plunged into the water. She rose back to the surface and swam back to shore. Raven pulled herself into the sand and just lied there. Starfire and Beastboy went to help her, but Cyborg and Robin just stared.
Finally, Cyborg said, "I'll go get her some towels." Robin just stood there, shocked.
"Why didn't you tell us," Robin asked softly.
A single tear ran down Raven cheek. "I'm sorry," She replied.
From a rock not too far from where Raven layed, a rookie reporter by the name of Jackson took a picture of the scene.
"This is gold!" Jackson exclaimed, "They'll never call me a rookie ever again!"
He jot down a couple of notes on his notepad and scrambled off.
A/N: They know her secret! And so does a guy named Jackson? :s
