Savez-Vous Pourquoi?

Sorry for the unneeded delay in the story, biiig projects and other junky school related stuff. But… it's break now, so good things should come out of it, right? Right! So, uh once again, on with the story. It may seem a little slow going now, but just wait until chapter three, things will start to get a little faster. Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, parfait actually means perfect, though that's not my context here.

Parfait

Beast Boy stared over at the girl in the corner, quietly mumbling an enchanting mantra. She had only moved over there a few minutes ago, but he already missed her presence. He had thought he had seen a slight smile on her face as she got up and glided over to her usual corner, but was unsure as to why Raven would be smiling.

December 17. He remembered that day well. Beast Boy sprawled himself over the coach even more and thought about that day in the past two years ago. It had been about a month since the team had come together, and Beast Boy was… trying to get to 'know' his teammates, and Raven happened to be the one on that day. He remembered he had knocked on her door, expecting someone… well…. Not someone with Raven's exact persona. She had been locked away much of first month, so he hadn't a clue about her. When Raven came out all she had on was her black leotard, but that wasn't what had startled him. No… he thought. Her eyes were so entrancing, which made her seem all the more mysterious.

Of course, Raven remembered this as well. Her thoughts were beginning to wander, even after her fifteen years of training on Azarath. December 17? Now she remembered, it was the day she first… got a real glimpse of Beast Boy. Why ever would she have put that date on her mirror?

She thought back to when he knocked on her door. She had been locked in her room most of the time there, and was busy meditating, like would become routine. When she heard the knock, she hastily got up, and opened her door to look slightly down upon a little green boy. He… stared at her a couple minutes, and neither of them said anything.

Until Beast Boy blurted out, "Wanna hang out today?"

She remembered staring at him, leaving them both in an awkward silence that Raven liked.

Eventually she said, "No."

"Aw, come on!" he had said to her as she turned to close her door. "All you've done since we've met is stay in your room! It'll be fun!"

"Sorry, I've got to meditate," and with that she had used her powers to pry her arm away from him, and close her door so she could go back to what she had been doing.

Speaking of Beast Boy… did he change his uniform? She turned her head, but quickly turned back for he had been looking at her. She turned again, and noticed instead of that purple-bluish color, it was indeed a red stripe down the middle. It suited him actually. Raven supposed he had done it to be cute for the Christmas season. Well… it was.

Had Raven been looking at him? Nah, Beast Boy thought. On December 17 she had been though. Well, after she slammed the door in her face, he decided to get crafty. Since they were teammates, they had to get along, right? So, he went to the kitchen and decided to… bake?

"Yeah, that's it. I'll…. Make… parfait! Everyone loves parfait!"

A couple hours later, he once again appeared at Raven's door, though this time, he left the parfait at the door, knocked, and turned into a fly, as not to be noticed. The girl opened her door, looked around, and saw the black cake with mint ice cream parfait, smiled, and go back inside with it.

Raven had very much liked the parfait last year. She thought about that parfait and was finally able to clear her thoughts, until Beast Boy seemed to gain psychic powers when out of the blue he shouted, "Parfait!" and came to a standing position. She ignored him, and finally raised into the air, as signature of her meditation.

Beast Boy now wondered if she had eaten his parfait, or just thrown it away… Or… what if she used it in some voodoo ritual against him? He had to know if she liked his parfait. She… must've eaten it, right?

Beast Boy bounded over to the corner near Raven. She didn't seem to notice him, or didn't care. He started talking to her.

"Hey Raaaven? Do you like parfaits?"

Raven didn't say anything or even move. He had to get her attention. Hm… what about that little gemmy-mabobber on her forehead? It was sparkling a pretty color that he just had to touch. So, he called her name once again, before he tapped the gem on her forehead. He was sorry immediately, as he eyelids snapped open.

"What… are you doing?" she said, but never got an answer as a purple vortex opened up underneath them. They were able to stand on it for a few seconds before they both went toppling into the floor. Beast Boy reached for Raven's hands and was able to take them. They started spinning around in the middle, faster, and faster, green and purple lights whizzing around the two. Raven felt their grips loosen on each other, and they lost each other.

"Raveeeen!" Beast Boy yelled, looking very panicked as he saw Raven's expression growing grimmer as she melted away in the abyss.

It seemed like he was falling forever. Beast Boy wished he had a watch and a witness, he bet he had beat the world record for free falling. He was growing anxious, of all the purple light around him. At last, he fell into what looked like a dark alleyway in a bustling city. It was raining on him, and thunder boomed above him. Was that thunder?

No… it wasn't.

"Where…. am I?" Beast Boy said aloud, to no one in particular.

The rain continued to pour down on the changling as thoughts flooded his mind.

Hm…? Where could Beast Boy be? Actually… I know where he is. I know what happened. Now what should I do? I think I'll go play more of Xenosaga. Yes, it is the most awesome game I am playing now. Episode II comes out in February, cuz… I'm sure you all cared right? So, please review and I'll love you forever. Thankies.
