Hello! I've finally updated! You guys are probably thinking 'It's about time!' huh. I apologize but something was wrong with my computer so yeah. Anywayz, The next chapter is probably gonna be the dance! There's some exciting news. I've also got it all planned out so it won't take as long, unless I'm too lazy to type it out.:P
RECAP
"We're arguing because we- correction, Tyson and I think you should substitute for one of us in the band at the school dance." Raven said. Beastboy's eyes widened. He was guessing it was Matt they were talking about. That would be awesome! Being in a band with Raven.
"Cool! But why?" He asked.
"Cause our most awesomest guitarist can't come." Tyson said.
"I'd be happy to substitute, but why can't Matt come?" Beastboy asked. The band exchanged looks.
"Beastboy… It's not Matt…. It's me." Raven said. Beastboy's eyes widened again.
"What?! But why?!" Beastboy questioned.
"Well, you know how I am living in the orphanage?" Raven said. Beastboy glanced over at Matt and Tyson. Raven, knowing what he was thinking, said "Don't worry. I already told them the whole story." Beastboy looked back at Raven, waiting for her to continue. "Well… Someone decided to adopt me." Beastboy's jaw dropped.
"Does that mean.. you're… moving?"
"Yeah."
"But--"
"Don't worry, I'll still live in Jump City. Nonetheless I'm still moving, I'm going to be missing from school for like two weeks, that includes the dance." Raven stated. "Another question. Are you able to sing?" Beastboy thought about it.
"I really don't know. Why?"
"Cause we need a guy to sing the duet with our replacement singer." Tyson said.
"And Matt and Tyson are too chicken to do it themselves." Raven added. Said boys glared at her. Raven went unfazed.
"Who's the replacement singer?" Beastboy asked.
"Terra." Raven stated angrily while glaring at Matt and Tyson, who smiled sheepishly. "Those two took it upon themselves to choose the singer without me. I absolutely hate Terra."
"Why do you hate Terra so much?" Beastboy asked. Raven was hesitant before answering.
"Me and Terra used to be friends. Best friends. We used to hang out all the time. This was before Robin and them were after me. They were after someone else. But one day, the girl they used to pick on, moved. Terra then went to them, explaining how I got good marks. Of course they came after me then. When I thought it couldn't get worse, she took my boyfriend. I've hated her ever since. She was the reason Robin and the others started picking on me." Raven explained. Beastboy had a sympathetic look on his face. Matt and Tyson exchanged looks.
"Sorry Rachelle, we didn't know. We'll get someone else." Matt said. Raven smiled.
"Thanks." she said, "Beastboy, we need to know if you can sing and if you'd be willing to sing a duet." Raven said. She handed him a sheet of paper.
Tyson sat at the drums and Raven got her electric guitar. They started playing and Beastboy sang the lines how he thought they went. After, the band exchanged looks.
"You're really good. Would you be willing to play guitar and sing a duet?" Raven asked.
"Sure. Wait, do I have to play the electric guitar when I'm singing in the duet?"
"No, the duet song is easy enough for Matt so he'll just do it himself." Raven stated.
"Okay, then I'm in." Beastboy claimed. The band smiled.
"Then you're officially part of the band." Raven said. Beastboy smiled a goofy smile. Raven handed her electric guitar to him. "Show us what ya got." Raven said with a smile.
He positioned the guitar and started playing a fast rock tune. When he was done, they clapped like he did when they played. Tyson checked the clock.
"Whoa, practice is done already. I gotta get going. See ya!" he said as he went out the back door after putting his drums in the equipment room.
"I better get going too. Bye!" Matt said. He placed his guitar in the equipment room by Tyson's drums before running out the back door. Once they were both gone, Beastboy turned to Raven.
"So, where ya moving to?" Raven smiled.
"It's a surprise. Why don't you walk with me home and I'll show you along the way?" Beastboy smiled. They put the rest of the equipment away and walked out the back door.
They walked the way they normally did, the same way and everything. but as they neared Beastboy's house, Raven stopped in front of the house right next to Beastboy's house! Beastboy was puzzled as to why she stopped until he remembered she was showing him where she was moving!
"No way! You're gonna be my neighbor?!" Beastboy asked excitedly. Raven laughed at how excited he was.
"Yes, I'm gonna be your neighbor." Beastboy her gave her a bone-crushing hug.
"That's awesome!" Raven giggled as she looked at Beastboy. He finally let go after a few more seconds. He had grabbed Raven's hands and placed them in his, their fingers laced together.
Their smiles slowly faded as they got lost in each other's eyes. They slowly inched forward, like an invisible force was pulling them together. They were so close they could feel each other's breath. Suddenly they both looked away from each other, blushing madly. They both seemed disappointed that they turned away. Now they were surrounded with something Beastboy hated, and Raven was starting to hate too: silence.
"I gotta go." Raven said quietly. She silently left, heading toward the orphanage, leaving Beastboy to wonder what just happened.
Ok so I had no clue what to put for why Raven hated Terra so I just thought of the first thing that came to mind.
We're nearing the end of this fic! The next chapter is the last chapter; the dance! I've got the ending all planned out! Except for what the duet song is going to be. If you want, you can suggest some songs.
Review please!
