I think I owe you guys an apology. A lot of you have told me that my chapters are too short, and I'm sorry that they are. Like I've said before, I've prewritten the story and I've reviewed it a lot too. I know that chapters are supposed to be long, but I start a new chapter when something new happens. I would love to go back and rewrite it, but I've spent so much time writing it that I can't. I'm sorry if my writing upsets you. In my notebook, I'm up to page 200. But on this site, it's probably like 50. Once again, I apologize.

For those that don't mind, I'm going to go on with the story. And for those who are wondering, I'm starting to feel better. Thank you for your concerns.

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. I pinky promise. But I own this story. I pinky promise.

Chapter 11:

Comparisons

(*)

As soon as Beast Boy had gotten outside the door, he leaned up against the wall, his mouth gaping. He let himself slip, causing him to slide down to the floor.

He had just kissed Raven.

He had just kissed Raven.

The changeling got to his feet and ran down the hall as fast as his human legs could carry him to his room. Once he had shut the door, he let loose. He didn't even care if anyone walked in. For some moments in your life, the joy was just so overwhelming that you just had to let it out, regardless of who you were or where you were. This was one of those times for Beast Boy.

"I just kissed Raven." He kept repeating, constantly reminding himself how lucky he was. He finally lowered himself onto his bed, which was still in the middle of his floor. After a few minutes of calming down, Beast Boy sighed.

Now he had to figure out what to do next.

(*)

After many failed attempts to repair the barbequed light bulbs with her powers, Raven sat in the dark. Using her powers was very painful in her current condition. So, she allowed herself to fall backwards onto the pillow, keeping Beast Boy's rose to her chest.

She was still stunned.

It had been her first kiss. She hadn't even gotten that far with Malchior before he had destroyed her heart. She couldn't help but wonder if it was Beast Boy's first too.

She quickly dismissed that thought, remembering Terra. The anger inside her spiked, and many things in her room became encased in a black magic. Raven closed her eyes and breathed deeply. Everything returned to its normal state.

But how she hated the blonde, once innocent, monster. Yes. That's what she was to Raven. A monster. Anyone that could sell out an entire team of people she once called friends, anyone that could actually get Raven to trust her and then use it against her, and anyone that could completely destroy Beast Boy was a monster in her book.

Did one kiss automatically state that Beast Boy liked her?

Again, she remembered Terra. How could she, a half-demon, match up to the once beautiful blonde? The one that had laughed at all of his corny jokes. The one that Beast Boy had practically fallen in love with the instant that he saw her. The one that Beast Boy went back to, no matter what she had done wrong.

"I'm not beautiful." Raven breathed, talking to the darkness of the medical room. She picked up a mirror that was left on the desk next to her, and stared at herself, silently praying to Azar to make her prettier. All she saw was scars, scabs, bruises, and a pair of bright amethyst eyes filling with tears. She shook her head and threw the mirror across the room. It landed on the floor, amazingly staying intact.

She remembered the way that Beast Boy had looked when he first laid eyes on Terra. He couldn't talk right, and his face had practically been dyed red from all of the blushing he did.

Crack.

Sighing, Raven opened her eyes to see that a window had just shattered. The cool breeze came in and chilled Raven, causing her to slide under the sheets.

"Breathe, Raven. Calm down." She accidently said out loud. Her eyes wandered over to the penny that Beast Boy had given her. To a normal person, a penny was just a penny. But Beast Boy had given her a penny once before, before Trigon had come. Raven reached over and grabbed the penny and squeezed it, leaving an imprint of Abraham Lincoln's face in her pale palm.

"You've got to take this slowly." She told herself. Then, Raven realized what she had just been saying. She blushed, embarrassed by her own thoughts.

'Me having feelings for Beast Boy?' She thought, staring up at the ceiling. 'What am I thinking? It was one small kiss. We were both saying things and then it just happened! How could I possibly…'

The privacy screen next to Raven's bed exploded.

"Crap."

"CYBORG!" Beast Boy yelled, running into the garage. In fact, he was running so quickly that he almost slammed into the door before it could slide open.

Cyborg turned to see a blob of green running at him. He rolled his eyes. "This better be good."

"Cy, you are never going to believe this. I mean, you are NEVER going to believe this!" Beast Boy panted before changing into a dog (which continued to pant).

"If I'm never going to believe it, then why are you about to tell me anyways?" he questioned, putting down the waxing machine and picking up a bucket of water and a rag.

Beast Boy ignored him and changed back into his human form. He took a deep breath, fearing that if he didn't tell Cyborg soon, he'd die of anxiety.

"IKISSEDRAVEN!"

"What?"

"I. Kissed. Raven." Beast Boy said slowly, his eyes wide with excitement.

Cyborg mouth could've touched it floor. He gaped at Beast Boy, dropping the bucket of water he was now holding. The water flooded everywhere and Cyborg's machine legs started to spark. He tried to speak, but no words came out.

Beast Boy bobbed his head up and down in something that resembled a nod.

"Y… you kissed her?"

Beast Boy's head continued to bob up and down.

Cyborg smiled, and playfully punched his shoulder; maybe a little too hard. "BB, YOU ANIMAL!" (AN: no pun intended.) "I knew that it would happen again someday! Grass stain's finally got a new girlfriend!"

Beast Boy rubbed his aching shoulder, but still smiled. "She's not my girlfriend, Cy!" he muttered.

"Yet." He whispered to himself.

"Look, now that that's out of the way, you have to take things slow with Raven. You have to let her make the next move." Cyborg said, completely forgetting about his car for a minute.

Beast Boy couldn't help but laugh. "Since when have you been the expert in dating?" he questioned. Cyborg shrugged. "I haven't always been half machine. But seriously, let Rae make the next move. You don't want to push her overboard. You really don't want to push her overboard."

Beast Boy sighed. "What if she doesn't feel the same way as I do?" he said, his face wilting at the thought.

Cyborg laughed. "She didn't throw you out the window…" he started.

Beast Boy immediately perked up and smiled.

"Good point."

Alright then. There's chapter 11 for everyone that's still with me. Once again, a note to all Terra lovers: I'm sorry, but that's my opinion. Well, actually it's Raven's. But you know that I mean.

I'm gonna apologize again. I'm sorry my chapters are so painfully short, but it's just the way they were written. Please continue reading, though. I'll try to make them longer, since I'm almost caught up to where I am in my notebook. But, just because the chapters are short, doesn't mean that the story isn't good. Or at least, I hope it's good.

Thanks again to all my reviewers. I'll continue the story for you.

Please Review.

Love, Liz.
