Chapter 27

She knew she had no reason to feel nervous. She'd told herself that if this day ever came she wouldn't feel nervous. But, here she was, pacing back and forth feeling like a nervous wreck. They were all waiting for her up there, waiting for the bride. She felt like she was going to be sick. She paced back and forth at the bottom of the stairs that led up to the roof.

The door opened and Crystal's head popped in, looking down the stairs. "Mommy-Raven!" she called. "Come up."

"Okay," she said, trying to remain calm, but she felt every nervous feeling within her intensify. She shakily began to climb the stairs, hoping she didn't stumble and fall back down them. Her feet felt like lead and each step became harder than the last. And all the while Crystal waited for her.

Upon reaching the top Crystal smiled opened the door up more for her soon to be step-mother. She was dressed in a beautiful little puffy dress that had flowers all over it. In her hands she held a basket with flower petals. Raven had said she didn't think a flower girl was necessary, but Crystal had cried and pleaded for the roll.

"Is everyone ready?" asked Raven.

"Yup," said Crystal. "They're waiting for you."

Crystal grabbed her hand and brought her all the way out of the stairwell and onto the roof. 'Great, now everyone is going to stare at me when I enter,' she thought, her heart racing. She took in a deep breath and followed Crystal, who was already throwing petals.

They turned the corner and there it was. Everyone was dressed nicely and smiling. She couldn't believe how nice they'd made the roof look. And, since it was sunset, everything seemed to glow; including the man waiting for her at the end of the flower petals.

Beast Boy was dressed very smartly and was smiling from ear to ear. He also looked a little nervous, which made Raven feel a little better. She slowly made her way down the little aisle between the chairs that had been set up, only focusing on him. And he'd never seen her look more beautiful. She was in a simple white dress, nothing all that fancy, but it was perfect for her. She didn't need some elaborate gown to make her look beautiful, she already was. Right now, he felt like the luckiest guy on Earth.

After what seemed like the longest trek of her life, she made it to Beast Boy, who took her hand. As soon as she felt his touch she realized that this was real; she was really about to get married. She prayed she wouldn't faint.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered to unite Garfield Logan and Raven Roth in marriage, which is an institution ordained by the state and made honorable by the faithful keeping of good men and women throughout all ages, and is not to be entered into lightly or unadvisedly," read Nightwing. Beast Boy began to giggle at hearing Nightwing say all this and Raven made sure to elbow him, though she found it humorous as well. "Anyway, are you ready to say your vows and exchange rings?"

"Yes," they both said.

"Okay, Beast Boy, you can go first," said Nightwing. "Rings, please."

Taye came forward and took two rings out of his pocket and handed them both to Beast Boy then went back to where he was standing. He looked bored with the whole situation. Beast Boy took the one meant for Raven and handed his to her. He then reached into his pocket, taking out a piece of paper.

"I kinda couldn't memorize it in time," he said in a small laugh and then cleared his throat. "I, Garfield Mark Logan, take you, Raven Roth, to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our friendship and love you today, tomorrow, and forever. I will trust you and honor you. I will laugh with you and cry with you. I will love you faithfully through the best and the worst, through the difficult and the easy. What may come I will always be there. As I have given you my hand to hold, so I give you my life to keep so help me God. Wow that was long! Did you memorize it?"

"Would you shush?" said Raven, disbelieving how unfocused he was. "And give me my ring."

"Oh, yeah, I forgot," he said and slipped Ravens ring on her finger.

"Uh, okay, Raven you can go next," said Nightwing.

Raven took in a deep breath and recited the vows perfectly, since she'd memorized them. "I, Raven Roth, take you, Garfield Mark Logan, to by my husband, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our friendship and love you today, tomorrow, and forever. I will trust you and honor you. I will laugh with you and cry with you. I will love you faithfully through the best and the worst, through the difficult and the easy. What may come I will always be there. As I have given you my hand to hold, so I give you my life to keep so help me God." She then slipped his ring onto his finger.

"Having thus pledged your selves each to the other, I do now, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the state of California, pronounce you husband and wife," said Nightwing.

Everyone clapped and the two felt a large weight lift off of their shoulders. They both smiled to each other and a feeling of love pulsed through their joined hands. But they weren't done yet, they knew that. They waited for Nightwing to say the final portion of the ceremony… and waited… and waited. Finally, Beast Boy had to say something.

"Uh, dude?" he said. "You forgot the last part."

"What part?" asked Nightwing, looking over the paper.

"The kiss!" said Beast Boy.

"Oh, uh, yeah," said Nightwing. "You may now kiss the bride."

No one had seen them kiss in public yet and all eyes watched with curiosity to see if it would really happen. The nervous feelings returned when they realized that everyone was watching them, but they'd 'practiced' quite a few times just for this moment. They decided to just ignore their friends. They leaned in and gave a lovely little loved filled kiss. Everyone was a little shocked for a moment, but then clapped enthusiastically.

"Okay, now you just have to sign this marriage certificate," said Nightwing. "And it'll be official." The two filled it out and signed their names. And, with that, it was done; they were married. Beast Boy took no time in expressing his excitement.

"We're married!" he shouted and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her and twirling her about. She gave a small shriek with surprise, but decided not to yell at him. In truth, she was excited too.

"Smile!" said Cyborg and he took a picture of the two. "Alright, Mr. and Mrs. Logan, it's reception time!"

"Awesome, I'm starved!" said Beast Boy. "I couldn't eat all day I was so damned nervous!"

"You too?" said Raven with a small smile.

"Is it over?" asked Crystal.

"Yup, it's over," said Beast Boy.

"Wow, that was really fast!" she said.

"Well, we didn't want you to grow bored," said Raven, who scooped the little girl up into her arms and carried her off the roof.

They all went downstairs to the reception, which was just a decorated common room. There was plenty of food and they all quickly filled their plates to eat. The kids stripped out of their nice clothing and went to put on something more comfortable. Raven wanted to do the same, but wanted to eat first.

"So, how does it feel to be married?" asked Bumblebee.

"Um… no different," said Raven. "Is it supposed to feel this way?"

"Yeah," she chuckled.

"Oh, Raven, I am so happy for you," said Starfire, nearly in tears, which is where she'd been all day. "Now we are all married."

"I can't believe you remembered the vow," said Beast Boy. "I spent three days trying to get it down and it wasn't happening."

"But you only spent ten minutes a day on it," said Raven. "I spent two hours."

"And I can't believe you forgot the kiss!" said Beast Boy, turning to Nightwing.

"Hey, it was my first wedding," said Nightwing. "I was just as nervous as you two."

"Hardly," said Raven.

"Hey, is this really all that's happening?" asked Crystal.

"Why? What else do you what to do?" asked Beast Boy.

"I dunno," Crystal shrugged. "But I thought there was gonna be more."

"Well, actually, there is more," said Beast Boy with a smile.

"There is?" asked Raven.

"What is it?" asked Crystal, excited.

"The three of us are going on trip," said Beast Boy.

"Where?!" asked Crystal.

"Whoa, what's going on?" asked Raven, confused.

"We're going to… Honolulu!" said Beast Boy.

"What's that?" asked Crystal.

"Hawaii?" said Raven. "Why in the world are we going to Hawaii?"

"For our honeymoon, of course," laughed Beast Boy.

"We're going to Hawaii?!" said Crystal. "Cool!"

"I didn't know we were going on a honeymoon," said Raven.

"Well you weren't supposed to," said Beast Boy. "Anyway, it's more like our first family trip."

"When are we going?" asked Crystal.

"Tomorrow morning," said Beast Boy.

"Can I start packing?" asked Crystal, springing out of her seat.

"If you want," said Beast Boy.

"Hurray!" she screamed and bolted out of the room.

"Beast Boy, I'm not sure this is a good idea," said Raven, becoming nervous. "What if something happens? I'm not sure I'm comfortable with being so far away from home."

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you," he said, placing his hand upon hers. "I've got it all planned out. Crystal will basically be with you all the time to make sure you don't pass out or feel sick."

"I still don't know…" she said very unsurely.

"Rae, you know how careful I am with you," he said. "Do you really think I'd put you in harm's way?"

"I guess not," said Raven. "Are the rest of you alright with this?"

"Yeah, we totally support it," said Cyborg with a smile.

"You can't stay all cooped up in this tower forever," said Bumblebee.

"And a honeymoon is a wonderful experience," said Starfire, thinking back to her own.

"Nightwing, do you approve of this?" asked Raven.

"Whole heartedly," said Nightwing. "You go and have fun, Raven."

Raven looked around the room to each of her friends. They were all looking at her as well and smiling warmly. "Am I missing something?" asked Raven, feeling like there was something else going on. "You're all far too… supportive of all this."

"We just want you to be happy," said Cyborg.

"Yeah, I mean, this was all part of your biggest dream, right?" asked Bumblebee.

"Well, yes, but it's all far too perfect to be real," said Raven. "I just feel like the rug is about to be ripped out from under my feet."

"Even if it was, I'd be right there to catch you," said Beast Boy. "So don't worry. This is gonna be great, just you wait."

Raven sighed and said, "Alright, I guess this is my first test as being a wife; trusting my husband."

Once it was clear that Raven was a bit more comfortable with what was going on the others felt relieved. Of course there was something else going on behind this, but they didn't want her to know that. Now all their hopes rested with Beast Boy, and he knew that. He now finally had the chance to save Ravens life.
