Hey you guys! I finished this next chapter! -cheers- For those of you who are wondering about "Goodbye Forever", I'll try to get the next chapter for that up soon as well. Ok, enough of my boring speech,

"It's...Beast Boy!"
A small gasp and then silence ran through the room. Finally, after a long period of everyone starring from an extraordinarily shocked and embarrassed Beast Boy, to Raven, Robin spoke up.
"Well, why don't we have the girls check the security footage now?" He said standing and walking toward the main computer, but no one followed or said anything. Finally, Beast Boy slowly turned towards Robin and trying to hide the redness in his face, walked up beside him.
"Robin's right, we had better find out what's wrong with...Rae." As if his voice broke the spell, the three other titans heads snapped up and the room exploded with noise. Beast Boy stood in the corner of the room, trying to get his thoughts straight. 'Did this mean Raven likes me? Oh man! What if she does? Do I like her back?' The changeling peered around Robin to look over at the empath. 'Did she always look this beautiful? With her dark violet hair and bright lavender eyes that glowed with the happiness and excitement otherwise hidden from view.' Beast Boy thought curiously. Now, more than ever, he wanted to find out who had hurt Raven. He would make them pay for what they did to her!
"Beast Boy?"
"Ya?" Beast Boy replied shaking away the thoughts of Raven.
"Friend Raven wishes you to leave the room now." Looking up, Beast Boy noticed that is was only him, Raven and Starfire left in the room. The other two boys had left.
"Uh, why?"
"She does not wish for you to view her..." Starfire paused as if trying to find the right word and then said uncomfortably, "private footage."
"Oh! Right! Sorry, Rae. I'm leaving." Beast Boy said feeling the color quickly rising again in his cheeks. He rushed out of the room to find Robin and Cyborg fighting to hold back their laughter. "Dude! That was so NOT funny! How was I supposed to know what they were talking about?" Beast Boy cried looking half angry, half embarrassed.
"You would have if you had been paying attention and not daydreaming." Robin said who was now on the floor beside Cyborg, both boys were rolling around laughing.
"Ya man! I bet you were just pretending that you didn't know what was going on, just so you could catch a glimpse of Rae!"
"That's not true! You know that!" But secretly Beast Boy thought, he really wouldn't have minded that much, if Starfire and Rae hadn't noticed him. Smiling to himself as he pictured Raven again. She was just so beautiful.
"BEAST BOY!"
"What? What happened? What!" Beast Boy spun around to face Rabin and Cyborg who were just staring at him. "Really, what?"
"What happened, man? You were drooling just a second ago. It looked like Mad Mod had hypnotized you again." Cyborg said giving Beast Boy a weird look.
"No I wasn't!" Beast Boy exclaimed, "If you guys are just sticking around to make fun of me, then I'm off!" He then turned and started walking down the hallway towards him room. God! He just couldn't get Rae off his mind. What did she have to affect him so much? Maybe she had hypnotized him to like her? Could she do that? Beast Boy groaned, all this thinking made his head hurt.
Starfire and Raven watched as Beast Boy ran out of the room, looking very embarrassed.
"Do you think he did that on purpose?" Raven asked in a small voice, staring after him.
"I don't think that Friend Beast Boy would really do that," Starfire answered, turning to the main computer. "Come on, Friend Raven. We must get back to work." But there was no noise from the silent empath. As Starfire turned to see what was wrong with Raven, she let out a small gasp. A small tear fell from Raven's face. Mixed with confusion and worry, Starfire rushed over to comfort her friend. 'Why had Raven been crying? Sure she didn't WANT to see her in her Bedroom. Why had Raven gone from happy to sad in a matter of minutes?' Starfire thought trying to comfort Raven.
"Please, Friend Raven! Tell me why you are so upset?" Raven looked up, her lavender eyes fixed on Starfire's green ones.
"H-he doesn't like me!" She cried pointing to where Beast Boy had been only moments before.
"Beast Boy? What are you talking about? Of course he likes you!"
"B-b-but didn't you see the way he looked at me?" Raven wailed. Starfire hated seeing her friend this upset.
"I'm sure he didn't mean it like that. Please stop crying Friend Raven." Starfire told Raven, pulling her to her feet and flying towards the computer. "Come on, the sooner we get you back to normal, the better." Although Starfire like it when Raven when shopping with her, all this flipping of emotions was kind of freaking her out. As Starfire skimmed threw the tape looking for unusual things, she glanced over at Raven. Surprisingly, Raven seemed to be all peppy again. She was bouncing her foot and humming happily with a big grin on her face. Shrugging Starfire turned back to the footage and peered at the dark screen of Raven's room. Starfire thought she noticed someone in the corner of the room. It looked like a young man with dark blue hair and black eyes that were...glowing red?
"Friend Raven? Do you know who that is?" Starfire asked pointing at the small figure on the screen. Raven squinted to get a better look at the figure. After a few seconds, she let out a gasp and dropped to the ground in a dead faint.
'I wonder if the culprit left any evidence in Raven's Room.' Beast Boy had noticed that Raven's door was ajar and he decided to take a look around. After all, Raven didn't seem like she would mind, now that she was happy all the time. As the Changeling slipped into the dark room, a feeling of unease swept over him.
Dude! No wonder Raven's cranky all the time. She spends all of her time in this dark room. It's so depressing!' Looking around, Beast Boy spotted a black dresser in the corner of the room and, being the curios green elf that he was, ran over to take a look. As he opened the top drawer and peaked inside, he let out a small squeak and quickly shut it again. Inside was a variety of lavender undergarments. It had never come across Beast Boy that Raven wore them, but now that he thought about it, he guessed she'd have to, being a girl and all.
'I wonder what Raven looks like in these?" Beast Boy thought glancing over at the drawer again, but he stopped and shook his head.
'Stop it, Beast Boy. There's no need to get crazy.' Beast Boy turned back to the dark room, finishing his "Drawer Exploration," and went over to Raven's bed, where the team had found her the night before. Looking around, Beast Boy saw a small amulet on the floor that he hadn't noticed before. Picking it up to examine it, Beast Boy felt a rush of coldness sweep over him, like he had just jumped into a pool of ice water. The amulet was made of some type of silver and had a dark blue gem in the middle that gave Beast Boy the creeps when he looked into it. Suddenly, Beast Boy heard lots of shouting coming from outside the room.
'I wonder if they found out anything.' Beast Boy slipped the amulet in his pocket and ran out of Raven's Room into the main living room. He saw Raven was flying around in a great deal of panic, while everyone else was trying to calm her down.
"Rae!" Beast Boy called out causing the empath to halt right in front of him. 'Uh, Rae, I found this amulet in you room." he said taking it out of his pocket and showing it to her. "I was wondering..."
"Where did you find that?" Raven interrupted him, her voice sounding deadly. Beast Boy looked taken aback at Raven's sudden change in emotions.
"Uh, well I was looking around in your room and, um..." He mumbled feeling embarrassed, but he stopped talking when he noticed that Raven was more pale than usual, she looked like a ghost.
"Uh, Raven? Are you feeling ok?" Robin asked walking up to her. After a few moments of silence, Raven finally managed to speak.
"I know who did this to me," she whispered so quietly that all the titans had to strain to hear her. "It was... (To be continued)
