Hey, guys. Sorry it's been a while since I've updated, but I've been kinda busy. Now that school has started it may take a while for me to update, but I will do it as soon as I have the time to. Also, my other story, The Secret of Queen Annalese has not been abandoned; I'm just at a writers block. If any of you have read it and have any ideas of what I could do, you're welcome to suggest them.
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. But I wish I did.
Practice
Rosealyn woke with a start. She realized that she slept later than she was supposed to. She usually got up a half an hour before raven and five minutes before Rubie. Rose realized that she got up at the same time Raven did. She jumped out of bed and ran to the second bathroom. Rose took a quick shower, doing her hair in her usual style. Then she threw on a Hott Pink short sleeved dress with a shiny, thick black belt around her waist and silky black flats, adding her amethyst raven choker.
Rosealyn ran down the stairs and saw Raven sitting at the kitchen counter drinking herbal tea and eating waffles. Her twin looked up, surprised to see her.
"What are you still doing here? You usually leave before I get up." She asked Rosealyn, curiously.
"I slept in too late." Rose said getting herself some herbal tea. The sisters drank (and ate, in Raven's case) in comfortable silence.
"Rose, your phone is ringing." Raven said breaking the silence.
"Oh! Thanks, Rae! I'll be right back." Rosealyn ran upstairs and answered her phone. "Hello?" she said.
"Hey, Rose. It's Gar."
"Oh! Hey. What's up?"
"Uh… I kinda missed my ride to school today, so I need a ride."
Rose smiled. She knew that that was him unintentionally asking if Raven could come pick him up. Everyone knows they like each other. Well, everyone but Raven and Beast Boy, that is.
"Okay," Rose replied. "I'll let Rae know she needs to pick you up."
"Oh! Great! Thanks a bunch, Rose!" Beast Boy said.
"Sure. Rosealyn replied. They both hung up. Rosealyn ran down the stairs to her sister.
"Gar needs a ride to school. I told him you would take him." Rosealyn said.
"Oh… uh… Okay, then. I'll just be going now. I need to if we're going to be there on time. See you in homeroom, Rose." Raven said, grabbing her phone and backpack running out the door.
Rosealyn shook her head and followed her sister out the door. She got in her own car and drove off to school.
Raven pulled into Beast Boy's driveway and honked. He ran out and got in the passenger seat. Beast Boy smiled gratefully at her.
"Thanks so much, Rae." Gar said. Raven was about to correct him; say that her name was Raven and not Rae when he said. "Wow. You look beautiful." That sure shut her up.
He thinks I'm beautiful? Really? No one's ever called me that before. Raven looked down quickly at her outfit. It seemed that, like every day, her and Rosealyn wore the same thing; from the dress, the belt, to the shoes. The only differences were that her dress was midnight blue and her choker was an amethyst rose instead of a raven. They never planned on wearing the same thing, it just sort of happened that way. Neither twin really cared; otherwise they would change their outfits. They liked wearing the same thing. It must be a twin thing.
"You think I'm beautiful?" Raven asked quietly.
"Of course. But I don't think. I know you're beautiful. I've always known you were beautiful. But even more so now than ever." Raven's face turned scarlet red at that. That was extremely flattering. It was one of the many things she loved about him. He always complimented her, he was sweet, always tried to make her smile or be happy, and always paid attention to her.
"Oh. Well, thank you. No one but you has ever said that to me."
"What? They're crazy! Ever since I met you, I thought that you were drop dead gorgeous. It's one of the many things that makes me lo…" he trailed off.
"That makes you what?"
"Never mind. I'll tell you sometime."
"Okay." She said, a blush evident on her pale face. She didn't pry. Raven didn't like when people tried prying things from her, so she didn't pry others.
Both teens stayed quiet for the rest of the ride. When they got to homeroom their friends were waiting for them at their table.
"Did you miss your ride today, B?" Cyborg asked as Beast Boy sat next to him and Raven sitting next to Rosealyn, across from Cy and BB.
"Yeah. I slept in too late." Beast Boy replied, shrugging.
"It's a good thing you're girlfriend was nice enough to give you a ride then, isn't it?" Cyborg said, emphasizing the word 'girlfriend'. Beast Boy blushed.
"Raven's not my girlfriend, Cy." Beast Boy argued. Everyone besides Raven and BB rolled their eyes. Cyborg smirked and leaned in to whisper something in his ear.
"Yeah, but you wish she was." Beast Boy's face got even redder at that, but he never denied what Cyborg said.
Raven glared a death glare at Cyborg and he shut up about it. Bout if you were paying close attention, you could see that she was blushing a little, obviously having heard what Cyborg had whispered to Beast Boy.
Everyone dropped the subject and talked about the talent show instead. Rosealyn, Terra, and Kori were extremely excited. They wanted to start learning the routines.
"I'll have to take everyone's measurements today before we leave after practice so Rae and I can make the costumes." Rosealyn said.
"Okay." Robin said. "When do you think you will have them done?"
"They'll be done a few days before the show, but I'm not letting anyone see their outfits until the show; besides me and Raven, of course, considering we're making them."
Everyone groaned but didn't protest, knowing that Rosealyn would do anything to get her way.
~Lunch~
"Alright. I hope everyone thought to bring spare, comfy clothes to wear to practice later today." Robin said. Everyone smiled and nodded. "Okay. For the ballroom people, the choreographers brought ballroom shoes for everyone who will need them."
"Cool. I'm gonna need 'em." Rosealyn said. Raven rolled her eyes at her twin.
Everyone spent the rest of the lunch hour talking about what moves might be used in the choreography while they ate.
After school, everyone followed Robin to his mansion. Once everybody got to the ballroom they met their choreographers, the ballroom couples got their shoes, and went to separate rooms.
Beast Boy was in the big dining room, talking to his choreographer about Viennese waltz, and waiting for Raven to get changed. The doors to the dining room opened and Beast Boy's eyes widened at the beautiful sight before him.
Raven was wearing a midnight blue spaghetti strap tank top, a floor length ballroom skirt, and the gold ballroom heels. Beast Boy just stared at her.
"What?" She asked, crossing her arms in front of her chest and going to stand next to Beast Boy. Beast Boy didn't answer her. Both of them turned to face their choreographer as he and his assistant demonstrated the routine for them. After it was demonstrated, they were taught some of the choreography.
An hour later, everybody was back in the ballroom, having learned half of their routines. Rosealyn was currently measuring Beast Boy for his costume while he was talking to her twin.
"It shouldn't be too hard of a routine. We'll just have to learn it right and practice a lot. And our choreographer will help to fix any mistakes we possibly make as well as perfect what may need to be perfected. Don't worry, Raven. We'll do great." He gave her a reassuring smile. Raven didn't know what it was about Beast Boy, but what ever it was, she couldn't help but give him a small smile in return.
There you go, guys. What did you think of this chapter? I wanna know! Please review if you read! It's important to me! Next chapter will be up within the next week or so, possibly more or less. I don't know; it depends on how much homework I've got to do. Look out for the next chapter!
Thanks a bunch, and don't forget that if you've read 'The Secret of Queen Annalese' and you have an idea about what they do next, feel free to give me suggestions. I need help!
