Chapter 2: Realization

Garfield sat on the couch munching on chips and watching T.V. Heh heh, I'm actually a couch potato! he chuckled to himself. Terra would laugh and hug me while Raven would roll her eyes and say a sarcastic comment. Oh those violet eyes. Whoa Gar, Gar thought in a panic as he sat up instantly. You didn't just comment on Rae's eyes, didya? He shook his head. Not possible. No. No. No. NO. NO!

Gar groaned. He couldn't love Raven. He was going to get married to the most beautiful girl in the world. Raven. No, Gar thought. Terra. But he kept on thinking about Raven. Raven. I can't love her. She can't love me, hey the girl can't love without showing emotion, which result in a catastrophe! Rae can't 'cause she'd blow stuff up. And… Gar was lost in thought. He remembered those times when they were Teen Titans. Gar and Cy in Raven's mind meeting her emotions and her giant, evil, red daddy. Raven's heart broken by Malchior when he showed his true colors. Afterwards she hugged him. HUGGED him. It didn't seem natural, not obvious, but…it was nice. Gar admitted he had a small crush on her then, but all that disappeared when Terra came. She was beautiful and nice and caring and liked his jokes and ate his tofu dogs. Raven? Well she of course didn't feel the same when Terra came. Raven didn't trust her, like her, or even give the slightest acknowledgement to that she existed. Raven had slowly faded in the background and no one noticed. No one.

All he knew was, she helped him a bit. He was relieved that she was there with him and Gar liked the advice. After that Raven went back to her apartment and left Gar pondering at what she had said.

Raven yawned as she woke up. She didn't feel like getting up, making and eating breakfast, and changing into her usual clothes. Raven's usual clothes now were a black sweatshirt and dark blue skinny jeans. Her small room just had a purple bed, and black dresser, dark purple walls, and candles on her small white desk in a corner. There was a small walk-in closet containing her old leotard and cloak, some coats, and two dresses she owned and didn't wear. Raven got them as a birthday gift from Starfire and Nightwing.

Gar. I wonder how he feels about our conversation last night. I hope he doesn't see me as…an intrusion in his path to marriage. Raven wondered. She would've visited him but Raven had a feeling Terra wouldn't take too kindly to that. "'Oh so now you've rejoined the world just to steal Gar away from me? Oh no way, sista!'" Raven mimicked Terra. She smirked a little and got up to make herbal tea and waffles.

After her waffles and herbal tea Raven meditated for 2 hours. She wanted to consult her emotions because Raven herself was confused about what she felt. Raven felt relaxed when the pointy-eared jokester revealed himself. He made quite an appearance. Gar had clearly worked out and had worn a plain white T-shirt and black jeans. Those emerald eyes froze her every time he looked at her. Raven blushed at the thought and then tried to put on a straight face.

"If a journey into my mind can't solve my problems, nothing will." Raven said. She pulled out her mirror and stared at it. She was instantly thrust in her mind where her emotions were waiting for her.

"Well, it's about TIME you showed up." Brave, her green-cloaked emotion yelled. "Affection was driving me insane 'cause you finally figured out you were in love with that green bean."

Affection giggled. "Well, sorry! But it's such a sweet love story!"

Raven rolled her eyes. "I don't like him! Gar's going to get married anyways so there isn't a chance that I will…have a relationship with him."

"HA! So you DO have feelings for him! I KNEW IT!" Affection cheered in victory. She kept doing this happy dance around Raven which was really starting to annoy her.

"STOP! Okay, if I admit it will you stay calm?" Raven asked Affection. She nodded and sat down.

"…Fine. I do have feelings for him but it's too late anyways." Raven reluctantly answered.

"SQEE!" Affection blurted out, and then covered her mouth when Raven glared at her.

Happy snorted. "It's about time you answered that question. 'Cause when you're near him you're all…well, what Affection just did." Happy pointed at Affection.

"This is a waste of time." Raven groaned and left her mind.

Gar walked around with Terra at the mall. He couldn't avoid her if he tried. She was clinging to his arm and pulling him towards shops to try on outfits that didn't really suit her. Or anyone else for that matter.

"Hey Gar! Look at this! Doesn't this look good on me?" Terra asked as she put on a white jacket. The jacket itself was okay, but if you're wearing bright orange pants and a yellow T-shirt it doesn't work.

"Um, yeah it does. Listen, I'm gonna go to the video game store so…" Gar replied, backing out of the store slowly.

"WAIT! You can't just leave me here. Please, Garfield? Just a little longer and we'll go to the video game store." Terra begged, putting on puppy eyes.

Gar sighed. "Alright, Terra. I'll wait." Gar mumbled, defeated.

Terra beamed. "Thanks!" She game him a quick peck on the cheek.

The video game store…so close yet so far. He was longing for it and something else. As Terra went into the changing room to try on another outfit, he changed into a raven and flew to his house.

Once he got there, he decided to take a walk to the park again. Is it too late? Gar checked his watch. 9:30. Man, I spent 6 hours at the mall with Terra. I would sue her if she wasn't my fiancée. Oh snap! I'll just go. She wouldn't find me there. Gar thought, annoyed as he grabbed a jacket and headed to the park without a thought about Terra.

Raven grimaced as she took long strides to the park. Her black hood was on and her hands in her jeans pockets. The wind gently picked the debris off the sidewalk as she stalked by. Raven was irritated at the 3 emotions she had spoken to and the way they had acted. Especially Affection. Do I seriously feel that way towards him? Why? And at this time? This can't be happening. No way. Never. The half-demon grew frustrated at her dilemna. A stop sign was quickly encased in black energy and exploded, making nearby pedestrians alarmed and scared. Raven glanced back at the "scene of the crime" and realized what she had done. Oh great. Not only do I love Gar, but things explode when I think of him. Fudge!

She quickly looked up and found herself at the park. Raven walked towards her favorite bench, near a tree. She smiled at the memory of Gar next to her last night. It was nice to know that another living being wanted to spend time with her. Raven breathed in the outdoor scent. She felt relaxed and comfortable being outdoors with nature around her. That was one trait Raven and Gar shared.

Someone snickered. "Well, isn't our favorite half-demon herself, Raven Roth!"

Raven nearly jumped off the bench in surprise but controlled herself. In her monotone voice, she said, "Hello, Garfield."

Gar pouted. "I didn't surprise you? Man, that's what I was going for!" He paused, then grinned. "But I did scare you, right?"

"No."

"Yeah."

"No.

"C'mon, I SO did!"

"No!"

The two smiled at each other. It was nice and slightly bittersweet to know nothing had changed between both of them. They looked at the sky and saw many stars shining brightly along with the moon smiling at the ex-superheroes knowingly. Suddenly a shooting star passed the moon and danced around the stars.

Gar gasped. "Hey, it's a bombing star!"

Raven rolled her eyes at his mistake but secretly thought it was funny. "No, it's a shooting star. Bombing star? Really? Too much violent video games, Gar."

"Well sorry -It-All! Lay off the sarcasm Rae, it's a special day in 6 days for me." Gar replied, although he didn't sound excited.

Raven wasn't sure what to say. "So…just make a wish."

Gar put a puzzled look on his face. "What should I wish for?"

"I…I'm not sure. Why not something you really want?"

"Hmm…dunno. Hey, I know now!" Gar closed his eyes and murmered something so Raven couldn't hear. Show me who I love.

"Did you make a wish?" Raven asked, trying to sound disinterested.

Show me who I love.

Gar grinned. "Yup! Sure did."

Show me who I love.
