I sat in the leather chair across from the bed Beast Boy was sleeping in. My eyes focused on my locket, which I held in my hand, trying to get it open. Every once in a while my eyes looked up at a sleeping Beast Boy. I wanted to ask him so bad what had happen to him. But not now, He just got back from whatever horrible thing had happened to him, I didn't want to bring the memories back to him. I looked over at the clock above his bed. It was 5:30 am. I looked back down at the locket, which seemed impossible to get open. After a few more minutes, Beast boy started coughing in his sleep. I stood out of my chair and over to his bed. When he opened his eyes he leaned up slightly and covered his mouth. I handed him a glass of water that had been placed on the night stand earlier.
"Thanks…" he said as he handed me the glass back.
"No problem…" I said. He looked up at me, tears swelling in his eyes.
"Thanks f-for staying."
"I wanted to." I got down on my knees and slightly smiled at Beast Boy. He smiled back. "You know…" I thought of what to say to lighten the mood. "Cyborg beat your high score on Mega monkey mania 6."
"Well, I'll have to beat it…" He said. I giggled slightly. I wanted to ask him so bad what had happened to him…but I didn't. Before I could say another word my belt started flashing. "Trouble…"
"Go a-ahead." He said. I smiled at him and ran out of the room.

"Raven!!! Come on its Christmas! Time to get up. Don't you want to see the look on silky's face whenever you give him your present?" Beast boy exclaimed from outside of Raven's door, knocking hard. "Raven?" Suddenly, to Beast boy's surprise the door swung open and he was met with Raven's eyes.
"Raven! Come on, we got to hurry!" Beast boy said, grabbing the gothic girl's wrist and pulling her down the dark hallway.
"Beast boy! Slow down!" Raven exclaimed as she pulled away from Beast boy's grip, causing herself to fall backwards onto the floor.
"Are you okay?" Beast boy held out his hand, but Raven ignored it. She pulled herself up and walked ahead of Beast boy to the main room. When the two entered the room, the other three team mates looked in there direction until they took there places on the couch.
"Merry Christmas!" Starfire said, as se stood up. "Well, on my home planet we celebrate Glorcon, which is much like the Christmas you have here on earth, and during Glorcon I usually recite the 76 stanzas of the great poem of Glorcon so now I will proceed with the-"
Before Starfire could finish her sentence, Cyborg ran for the tree, followed by Robin and Beast Boy, then Starfire, who simply smiled when Cyborg interrupted him, and last Raven walked up.
As she bent down at the two remaining presents, she heard voices behind her. Robin had gotten Starfire a charm bracelt with many charms representing moments in there relationship, Robin had gotten Beast boy Super scary ninja attack 5, and Starfire had made Cyborg a traditional Tameranian dish. Whenever she looked at the two remaining presents, she automatically knew with one was here's. It was the one Beast Boy had gloated about being the first one to put his present under the tree, and the one that was horribly wrapped. The other gift under the tree was the one that she had gotten for silky, so she knew it had to be hers.
Beast Boy looked up at Raven after opening his gift, and freaking out about it, then thanking Cyborg. He Watched as Raven slowly picked up the gift, and sat down on the couch. It seemed like hours were going by, would she just open the present already? Beast boy was already nervous enough about the whole ordeal. He just wished she would open it.
Raven Ripped parts of the wrapping paper, dropping them to the floor next to her. She stared blankly at a shiny black jewelry box. No, it couldn't be jewelry. Raven didn't do jewelry. But, Raven had to admit, the box was simply beautiful. Her pale fingers reached and opened the lid. She stared down at the necklace that had been placed ever so beautifully in the box. It was a locket. A silver locket. The heart was quite large, and it was sparkling, due to the rising sun. Engraved on the heart was an R, in Calligraphy. As much as Raven hated Jewelry, she couldn't not look at that thing. It was amazing, beautiful, and it sure seemed expensive, how did he get it? Raven was so captured by her gift that she barely noticed the green teenager standing in front of her.
Raven blinked and looked up at him. "How…How much did this cost?" Raven knew that wasn't the most polite thing to say, but Beast Boy couldn't have that much money, could he?
"I…uh…I had some money saved up." Beast Boy said sitting down next to Raven. "Ya hate it, don't you?"
"…No…" She said, trying to open the locket, but it wouldn't budge. "It's…Pretty." She said, placing the necklace back in the book and gently closing it.
"But…" Beast Boy looked at her.
"I don't usually were jewelry…" She said, holding the box tight.
"Oh…"
"But…" She said in a lighter tone. "I…really like it."
The Look on Beast boy's face lightened up immediately. The suddenly, the left over tofu eggs that Beast Boy was eating, that sat on the kitchen counter exploded, spewing pieces of tofu eggs around the whole room. With wide eyes, Raven looked at the mess, and then turned back to see 4 pairs of eyes staring at her. The pink already in her face brightened and she immediately ran off, exiting the room.
"Raven…Wait!" Beast boy yelled right before the door shut.
As soon as Raven closed the door behind her she dropped to the floor, leaning against the door.
'How could my emotions go crazy like that? What is my problem? Why did I even care that much?' Raven though. She looked down and saw the black box still held tightly to her chest. Raven slid the box across the room, accidentally making it go under her bed. She stood up, to go retrieve it, but was interrupted by a small knock.
"Raven? It's Beast Boy. Are you okay?"
"Um…Yea…I just need to meditate or something. I don't know what happened back there."
"Look Raven, I'm sorry for giving you the necklace. I should have given you something else that you would like…"
"Beast Boy, Went I said I liked it, I meant it. I really do like it. It's…Beautiful." After Raven said that, a cup of tea that had been sitting on her desk exploded, and Raven let out a small scream.
"Raven? Are you okay?" Beast boy asked.
No reply.
"Okay Raven, I'm coming in!" Beast boy said as he morphed into a gorilla and knocked the door to the ground. There he saw Raven, sitting on the floor, wet with tea, and bits of class and tea scattered about the room. "Are you okay…"
Raven couldn't dare to look up. Her face was beat red, under all the tea, and wet hair scattered around her face.
"Raven?"
"I'm fine." She said, looking to Beast boy, who was now kneeling next to her. But then Raven felt a shocking pain. "Ow…" She said looking down to her thy, were a small piece of glass was stuck.
"Oh no, I'll get it out." Beast boy said.
"No, I'll do it." She said, placing her hand in front of Beast boy's face.
Raven took her hand and grabbed on to the glass. Se closed her eyes, and pulled.
"Ow!!!!" One of Raven's books exploded. Raven looked down into her hands, where a bloody piece of glass laid. She began healing her thy.
"Wow…" Beast boy said, looking at one of the papers that had been ripped out of raven's book. "I didn't know you would be the romance type."
"What!!?!" Raven exclaimed, taking the page from him, right before one of Raven's favorite pen's exploded, ink spewing on Beast boy.
"I'm sorry; I didn't realize your emotions were so crazy right now." Beast boy said, wiping away the ink from his face.
"No, I'm sorry," Raven said. "I really like it, okay! But now I need to meditate, so get out!" She stood up and started pushing Beast boy out of the room.
"I'm glad you like it." Beast boy said before the door closed behind him.
