Chapter 8

Authors Note: Okay, sorry it took me so long to post a new chapter. The computer was in a box till Saturday. And then the internet wasn't working until we got the right cable or something like that. We had to unpack and stuff like that... Enjoy! (P.S. This has a little bit about George and his history)

"How could you? He's a team member! We help each other, not... make them fly home!"

"He was all... uh... but he... well did you want to ride in the car with him?"

"Don't change the subject!" (This is Robin language for NO!)

"Fine! What about you, Star? You against me too?"

"Cyborg, I do not believe you were very nice or hospitable to friend Beast Boy."

"Well Raven has to agree with me!"

"Hey, I'm part human, I have a heart you know. I think you could have let ride on top or something..."

"And ruin my paint job? No way!"

Cyborg received a glare from everyone and a death-glare from Raven. Cyborg knew when he had to give up. "Fine. I'll apologize when we get back."

Meanwhile...

Beast Boy landed on the roof, so thankful he didn't fall out of the sky he could've kissed the top of the T Tower. He stood there for a minute, just taking in the beautiful view. It was beautiful, late November snow clouds were rolling in on the horizon. The sky was a deep shade of purple. The clouds were tinted a shade of deep blue and grayish color. Raven would love this. It reminds me of her. Dark, mysterious, gorgeous. No, Gar! She does not like you and you don't like her. Beast Boy dizzily made his way towards the door leading down off the tower.

When Beast Boy got to his room picked up his discarded bathrobe and headed for his bathroom. It took him almost half an hour to get himself completely clean. He left his bathroom when he was satisfied and threw on the first pair of pajamas he could find. He wearily climbed the ladder of his bunk bed and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Beast Boy woke up that morning extremely hot and tired. He glanced down at his digital clock. 9:37 A.M. He had slept for 6 restless hours. Just then, Beast Boy heard a knock on his door. That'd better be Cyborg coming to apologize for last night. He slowly got up and sluggishly climbed down the ladder of his bunk bed. He walked across the room and opened the door a crack. He saw a pair of amethyst eyes on a pale face, framed by short, violet hair. "Oh, hi Raven. You wanna' come in?"

"You sound delighted to see me." Raven said as she stepped in.

"No, it's not you. I was expecting someone else..." Beast Boy trailed off.

"I can't believe I'm going to say it but, he told me to say that he is sorry." Raven replied, still wondering why she had said it for him.

"Well you can tell him that if he wants me to forgive him, he'll have to say it to my face." Beast Boy replied without thinking.

"I AM NOT A MESSENGER!" Raven said, getting mad.

Beast Boy scooted back across the floor in fear. Raven was immediately sorry for her outburst. She lost control, again. "Sorry. I'll tell him if you want."

"No, I'm being just like him by not telling him myself. Besides, I shouldn't keep asking you to deliver my messages."

"Wow, Beast Boy. That was actually mature of you." Raven said a little surprised.

"Is this one of those times were I should say thanks or be insulted?"

Raven smiled, just a little one, but she did. She stopped abruptly, though, hoping he wouldn't notice, but he did. He didn't say anything, but he knew he would remember that smile for forever. He slimed too, but stopped when he noticed Raven was looking at him with worry. "What?"

"You... umm... don't look very well this morning."

"Huh?"

Beast Boy turned to look over at his mirror and was a little surprised himself. It was true, he looked awful. His face was a paler shade of green than usual, more like dying grass than olive green. His eyes lacked the gleam in them they had always had. Normally perked up, his ears were drooped over and his hair was damp and straggly from sweat. "Eh... I'm fine. My room is just hot."

"Hardly..." Raven said with a shiver.

She looked around the room. The temperature was currently 46 F. and Beast Boy's window was wide open. There was also a fan turned on, blowing things this way and that. "So... I know I may regret asking this but, how's George?" Beast Boy asked, trying to change the subject.

"Fine. I called his owner yesterday. His name is Bernard Reshly."

"Bernard?" Beast Boy cracked up.

"Mmhmm. He told me about George..."

Flashback

(When the text is in italics it means Bernard is talking and he happens to have a visa-phone type thing and so do the titans. I don't know what you want to call it.)

Hello? Said a thin, tall, dark-haired man who turned on the visa-phone

"Hi, I'm Raven. I'm calling about George, your duck."

Why hello, Raven! You're calling about my Geo?

"Yah... he flew into my window a few days ago... I thought you might want him back."

That little duckling! Always getting into mischief! Has he been any trouble?

"Uh... not particularly..." Raven said, trying to wipe the image of the bloody hallway out of her mind.

Oh, good. I don't that duckling being any trouble to you.

"Wait. Did you say... duckling?"

Oh, yes. George is only a few months old. You can tell he's a fast learner, him flying already and all. I remember when he was just a little tike... only 6 inches when he came out of his egg.

"And he grew that much already?"

Yes... the problem is that I can't seem to keep him in the barn with the others. He's always getting away. You may want to return him with a bit of help... some one who's good with animals.

The first person who popped into her head was Beast Boy. He had a lot of experience with animals. "Beast Boy will help me."

Beast Boy? Of course! Now I remember you! You're from the... the... Teen Titans!

"Yah. I've gotta go. I'll return George as soon as possible. Bye."

Well thank you. Good bye, Raven.

(Italics now stand for a voice in the back of Raven's head... no she is not crazy! You know, that little voice in the back of your head that debates with your other thoughts...?)

Raven turned off her phone and was about to turn around and go ask Beast Boy for help when she stopped. "Beast Boy's not going to help me. Not after what I did to him..."

Of course he will! He's so nice and forgiving... don't you remember when you threw him against the wall?

"He won't help me!"

Yes, he will... you know he will. You're just afraid to ask him.

"I am not! I'll show you! I'll go ask him right now! ...I must be going mad."

End Flashback

Of course, Raven didn't tell Beast Boy about after the phone call. "Sure, I'll help in any way I can." Beast Boy said cheerfully.

"Thank you. I have to go meditate," Raven said as she got up to leave "don't bother me."

"Come on... when have I ever bothered you?" Beast Boy said, giving his trade-mark grin.

Raven gave a little smile too, but then she frowned again and left. Beast Boy watched as she left and then morphed into a hairless mole-rat in an attempt to cool himself down.

Author's Note: I'm so sorry that took me so long! How did you like it? See? I told you so... more about George. But I am sorry to say that I had trouble fitting him back into the plot after this and he won't be back till later... sorry! Any ways, Happy Easter (late, so what?) and thank you to my reviewers! Lover of Seto Kaiba raventheinvincible( ) Soccerfan123( ) Piebgood kmutt Lady Crystaline of Jewel Cove me( ) Jackdaw( ) Bill( ) dancingirl3 I've never had so many reviews for one chapter!... or maybe it's just because I let them build up... well, thanks again! Cookies for you all!

P.S. I was watching the Lost Episode and I noticed two things about Beast Boy... 1: he is very skinny. 2: he is really short! Like me! Okay just thought I'd share... I shouldn't point out shortness... that would make me a hypocrite!
