Raven's Point of View (The Real Raven)
I was pacing back in forth in my room, "We almost...me and Beast Boy...Ah!"
I fell on my bed, "This is too complicated!" I yelled to no one.
I figured out very fast that for as long as my emotions are out and about I can show my emotions in my real body. I bit my pillow, "Does this mean Gar likes me?" I asked no one, "Or was my mind just making me see what I wanted to see? That has to be it. Beast Boy would never like me."
I felt tears fall down my face, "I hate this," I said.
I suddenly felt my mouth covered. I screamed, but no noise came out.
Beast Boy's Point of View
I was on the couch with my head in my hands, 'Stupid, stupid, stupid!' I thought over and over again.
"Friend Beast Boy?" Starfire said.
"Huh?" I said, "Oh, hey Star, what is it?"
"Friend Raven has not come out of her room," Starfire said, "Sam has gone to check on her, but I would feel better if you went with-"
"Ah!" Sam yelled.
I turned, "Sam!" Danny yelled and transformed while running.
"Friend Sam went to check on her..." I went wide eyed, "Raven!" I yelled and ran by Starfire and the others who were still trying to figure out what just happened.
I ran only by memory because my mind was in overdrive, "Sam!" I heard Danny yell, "Who are you?"
I entered Raven's door and froze and gasped. The person turned and held both Raven and Sam in her arms, "Terra?" I said in shock.
"Blondie!" Jealousy yelled, "Oh this figures!"
I was still in shock, but came out of it when Terra laughed, "Hello Titans," she said.
"Terra?" Robin said, "Why...put Sam and Raven down!"
Terra laughed and her blue eyes turned red, "Vlad!" Danny yelled.
"You called Daniel?" Vlad said.
Danny turned to Vlad who was floating in his ghost form, "So, because you could have me you'd take an ex Titan!" he yelled.
"Correct Daniel," Vlad said, "Now I have Samantha, a controller of earth, and the Gem."
I growled, "Let Raven, Sam, and Terra go!" I yelled.
Vlad turned, "You're that vegetable from before," he said.
I growled and felt myself turn into the Beast, "Gah!" Vlad yelled, "Not that thing again!"
Terra dropped Raven and Sam in fear, "No!" Vlad yelled, "Grab the Gem! He won't hurt the-"
I hit him with my claw and growled. Vlad hit Raven's wall. Danny ran to Sam and I stood in front of Raven and growled, "Very well then," Vlad said, "Terra, we're leaving."
Terra and Vlad flew off and I turned back human and knelt next to Raven, "Raven?" I asked, "Are you okay?"
Raven moaned, "Garfield?" she said rubbing her head.
I sighed with relief, "Friends Raven and Sam," Starfire said, "You are the okay correct?"
Sam nodded, "Yeah," she said, "We're fine...well I am."
I looked at Raven, "I'm fine," she said, "Just a little shocked."
I clinched my fists. Danny held Sam close with Dani, "Okay," Robin said, "I think that's enough excitement for one day. Why don't we all go to bed."
Everybody nodded and left, but I stayed with Raven and helped her into bed, "Are you sure you're okay Raven?" I asked as I removed her cape.
Raven just nodded and I turned to her, "Raven?" I asked.
Raven held her knees and I went over to her bed, "Raven?" I asked.
"I'm putting everyone in danger," Raven said.
I felt my heart stop, "What? No!" I said and grabbed her hands.
Raven turned to me so fast I was almost positive she got wipe lash, "Listen to me Raven," I said, "You're not putting anyone in danger. If anything you're in danger and we need to keep a better eye on you."
I looked at Raven in the eyes and I saw fear in them and...nervousness...maybe? Suddenly, Raven attacked me in another hug. I almost fell on her bed, but I put my arms on the bed stopping me from falling. I could feel Raven crying on me. I readjusted myself and held Raven close as she cried, "It's okay Raven," I said and ran a hand threw her hair.
She gripped me tighter and I pulled her closer, "Everything will be okay Rae, I promise," I said her nickname coming out again.
Raven looked at me, "Gar...would...would you mind staying with me?" she asked.
I was a little shocked, but smiled, "Sure Raven," I said, "I'll go change into my pajamas then be straight back okay?"
Raven nodded and sat up, "You change too," I said and left the room and walked to my room.
I quickly changed into my purple t-shirt and gray pajama pants. I was about to walk out when I noticed something. It was a book from when I was in Africa. Went over to it and opened it and found what I was looking for, my mother's bracelet. I kept it in this book because it was one of the only stories I had from when I was little. I walked with my mother's bracelet in my hand.
My mother's bracelet was dark blue with little green and black gems. I knocked on Raven's door and it opened and Raven was sitting on her bed holding her knees in her dark blue pajamas. I walked over to her and took one of her hands. I started to put my mother's bracelet on her wrist, "Gar?" Raven said, "What's this?"
I smiled at her, "My mother's bracelet," I said.
Raven went wide eyed and I remembered what my mom told me when she gave it to me.
Flashback
"Garfield!" my mom yelled.
I was five at the time, "Yes mommy," I asked when I entered my parents room.
My mother smiled and pulled something out of her wooden jewelery box and pulled out the bracelet. She wrapped it around my wrist, "Listen very carefully Garfield," she said, "My mother gave me this and said that if I had a son to give this to him; you Garfield."
I was confused, but my mother continued, "She told me to give this and to tell you that, when you're older and very sure of yourself, to give this to the girl you love. Do you understand Garfield?"
I nodded and hugged my mom.
End Flashback
"Gar...why?" Raven said pulling me from my memory.
I just smiled and clasped the last band on the bracelet, "Because it's what my mother told me to do," I said and smiled at her.
Raven blinked and looked at it, "What did she say?"she asked.
I smiled lightly, "I'll tell you some other time," I said, "Right now it's time for bed."
Raven looked confused, but nodded and laid on her pillow with the hand that had my mother's bracelet close to her face. I smiled at her and laid beside her wrapping my arm around her. She snuggled into me which caught me off guard, but relaxed and pulled the blanket on both of us and fell asleep.
No One's Point of View
When both Beast Boy and Raven were fast asleep Raven's bracelet began to glow a gray aura. Suddenly, ghostly versions of Beast Boy's parents appeared, "Aw, they're so cute," Marie, Beast Boy's mother, said.
"Yes," Mark, Beast Boy's father, said, "Do you really think Garfield can do this?"
Marie looked at her husband with an 'we've been over this' look, "Of course," Marie said and went over to her son and his crush, "This girl is so pretty."
Mark rolled his eyes, "I would still like to know how your mother would know what Garfield would have to do and that he would fall in love with the Gem."
Marie smiled, "Where do you think Beast Boy got his powers?" she asked.
"From a monkey?" Mark said stupidly.
Marie glared, "Oh! Those powers!" Mark said.
Marie rolled her eyes, "Yes, those powers," she said and ran a hand through her son's hair, but he still slept soundly.
"So...what does that bracelet do again?" Mark asked looking at the bracelet on Raven's wrist.
Marie rolled her eyes, "It slowly destroys Raven's demon half," Marie said, "And once it's destroyed she will no longer be the Gem."
"But won't all those people after her realize and take the bracelet off her?" Mark asked.
Marie chuckled, "That's the best part," Marie said, "Raven, or anyone else, won't know until the process is complete."
"Okay, but what about her emotions?" Mark asked, "Did you do that?"
Marie smirked, "Yes," Marie said, "I do have my mother's power as well and I did release Raven's emotions so that she'll be able to show her emotions, but once her demon half is destroyed then her emotions will go back inside her and she'll still be able to show her emotions."
"And Garfield has no idea what powers he holds?" Mark asked.
Marie shook her head, "When Raven is fully human we'll tell him what he must do, but he must know Raven is safe from any harm or he won't leave."
"And destroying her demon half will do that?" Mark asked.
"How many times have I told you this?" Marie asked, "Yes. Once Raven is fully human he'll finish what my mother and I could not."
"How do you know?" Mark asked, "If you and your mother couldn't what makes you think Garfield can?"
Marie looked at her husband, "I don't," she said simply.
"Oh," Mark said, "But what about those ghost royals? Wouldn't they try to stop him or something?"
"The King, Queen, and Princess of the Ghost Zone have a part to play...at least one of them does," Marie said, "I'm not sure which one at the moment."
"I still say we have a problem Marie," Mark said.
Marie stood up, "If we do then we'll cross that bridge when we get there," she said.
Mark nodded and the bracelet's glow disappeared with Marie and Mark.
