Okay, something a bit less….sexy this time and more with the funny.
Raven had managed to score tickets to Jump City Theater's production of 'Macbeth' and she was very eager to attend. They were four rows up, perfect viewing, as they were close enough to enjoy it, but not too close as to constantly crane their necks.
The affair was formal attire, something she wasn't thrilled with, but humored the theater for the sake of argument. With help from Starfire, she found a dress that she actually liked, which was odd as she usually loathed the concept of any kind of dress or skirt. It was somewhat snug fitting, but not to the point where it was a second skin, and was a beautiful shade of blue, her favorite color. The top portion was strapless, something she had to grow used to, as her shoulders and neck were constantly cold. Starfire had insisted that the empath wear the matching high heels, a point Raven argued against till she was nearly out of breath. She caved, mostly to satisfy Starfire, but thanks to her dress hanging to the ground, she was secretly wearing her favorite pair of uniform boots underneath. It was her little secret, so to speak.
On the other hand, Cyborg had picked out quite the dashing tuxedo for Beast Boy. A classic, sharp design with black slacks and matching jacket were chosen for the changeling, along with a blue tie that matched her dress perfectly. The whole outfit was complimented with shiny black shoes were that were buffed to a shimmering hue.
Naturally, Raven was showered, dressed and ready with plenty of time to spare, but Beast Boy had wasted time all day and was now fumbling around with Space Monkey Massacre on the GameStation 720, his tie slung around his neck messy and untied.
"We are running late, Garfield." she said, her cool voice masking the irritation she felt at her green beau. "I don't want to be late."
"Dude, relax." he said, his virtual avatar blasting away at more monkeys with a loaded plasma cannon. "We still got plenty of time."
Raven knew he would fight this to the bitter end, even though he had no choice but to go. Last month, the 27th Annual Jump City NerdCon had hit town and Beast Boy desperately wanted to go and win the Couples Cosplay Trophy, but that would require Raven's attendance. After lots of begging and pleading, a deal was struck between the two. Raven would attend the NerdCon in a costume of Beast Boy's choosing and Beast Boy had to attend the play with Raven in an outfit of Raven's choosing, though she handed over the chore of such a responsibility to Cyborg. Raven was forced to attend as Wonder Woman, resisting the urge to warp gawky nerds to the fires of an alternate dimension, as they undressed her with their eyes.
"You would think they have never seen a girl before." she would grumble at the time, before adding "Wait, this is NerdCon. Of course they've never seen a girl."
But Beast Boy never had any plans of fulfilling his end of the bargain and was instead trying to kill as much time as possible and drag things out to the point where she would give up and go on her own. Sure, she would be mad for awhile, but she would cool down. The plan was working, except for the tiny fact he severely underestimated the resolve of the pale sorceresses.
As Beast Boy was ready to make it to the final stage and beat Cyborg's long standing high score, his controller suddenly melted in his hands, forming on the carpet in a sticky goop. He sputtered a bit, before he saw the glowing black energy that had encased the melted controller. Glancing over his shoulder, he could plainly see Raven's eyes a solid white, with two glowing black orbs in her hands.
"Wait…" he said. "I thought you said you had control of your powers now." [AUTHOR'S NOTE: Read 'Too Much of A Good Thing' for this tidbit] The changeling assuming that the controller melted due to Raven's anger. Instead, her eyes returning to their normal violet, the empathy smiled coyly.
"Who said that was a mistake?"
